1922

Mai Clark, our exemplary scholar-athlete, still serves aces in National Championship Tennis tournaments. Last spring in Boise, Idaho, he won the age 85-and-over National Indoors, his 34th National Championship. Mai, however, is human: he lost in the National Hardcourt finals at Santa Barbara, Calif. We hope he won in autumn tournaments at Chestnut Hill, Mass., and Myrtle Beach, S.C. On his peregrinations, Mai has met many other Dartmouth "boys" including Will Gahagan '35, Paul Guibord '36, Dick Jackson '39, Gene Magenau '30, Ted Wolf '30, and Wadleigh Woods '26 quite a gang of the young at heart. Mal says "It's been pleasant to meet and to compete."

Three University of Buffalo professors wrote a letter to the Director of Graduate Studies, paraphrased here:

We have just finished a Ph.D. examination questioning Martha Lerner on early American literature. Her performance was so outstanding we agreed it was the best any of us ever had. She passed with distinction and this is the only occasion we have ever wished we had a higher grade to award.

The letter naturally quickens the heart-beat of classmate Dick Litchfield, the grandfather of Martha Lerner.

Mrs. Van Vleck H. Vosburg writes from West Hartford, Conn.: "Son Peter '57 joins me in appreciation of the memorial volume in the library with his father's name inscribed."

I report sadly that Adele K. Haas, widow of classmate Bill Haas, died on June 19. She had deep affection for Dartmouth.
