1929

Your scribe had two minutes on the hardest working Alumni Council meeting I've known—'29 still lives. The Council aims to gain more alumni influence at Dartmouth. Lyt Johnston's son George '57 heads one of the vital committeess. Do you have Lyt's lively stick figure of a drunk leaning on a lamppost on your cane?

Called Bob Monahan on his birthday and sent him Dan Luten's sane and authoritative book on the American Landscape. Dan is preparing to speak to a student group on the real sources of our conservation policy. He no longer tries to teach full time, but he's still doing things.

The New Hampshire Charitable Fund announces a $10,000 grant from its DudleyW. Orr fund, citing Dud's many services to the state. And the Dartmouth Alumni Club of Oregon has named its book award program for Hal Hirsch. These items only hint at their fine records of service.

More than '29ers will want to know that Bob Lyle is now at 8668 Skyline Drive, Dallas, TX 75243. Dick Brown's lovely widow Florence wrote a gracious note, remembering our happy mini-reunions. She's grateful to Archie Crowley for coming to Detroit to conduct Dick's memorial service, now almost four years ago.

We recently wrote up ten obits, sadly inluding Henry Sharpe on the list.

Their tears blur out the glory of what's left.

So much is good, so much there is that's bright, Let someone else at last turn out the light.
