1944

Final report on some of our '44 academic professors, shy and retiring or otherwise.

Joe Goldstein is still teaching at Yale Law School "and enjoying every minute of it." He has been at Yale since 1956 (one of his students is Dartmouth's current president, James Freedman), principally in criminal and family law (three of his several books were written with Anna Freud), but for the past decade he has been concentrating on constitutional law. "It's an almost new field for me," he says, "and fascinating. It also means, of course, a new book on the subject." The Goldsteins visit Israel fairly often and they have had a summer home in Northport, Maine, for 20 years, a gathering place for their four children and three grandchildren. Joe sums it up: "I try not to do any harm in this world."

Monty "Bunny" Sayce continues teaching international law and organizations, and comparative governments, at New England College in Henniker, N.H., and says he hopes to keep at it for another couple of years. "I'm one of the last old leaves on the tree here," he says, "but I especially enjoy a small institution and close student contact." He has headed New England's Arundel campus in England for a number of years and frequently escorts students for study abroad. A recent highlight was a trip to mainland China. The Sayces live in a lovely 1750 house surrounded by hobby-tended gardens, and they also own a small island in nearby Lake Winnipesaukee.

Finally, here close to home, Leonard Rieser remains in perpetual motion. He is director of the Dickey Endowment for International Understanding, constantly hosting Russian and other international groups as they visit the U.S.; he teaches a freshman seminar, "Einstein, Curie, Bohr, and Fermi" and a summer course, "America in the Nuclear Age"; he has been chairman of the board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists for the past four years; he is a trustee of Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., and he is the College's provost and dean of faculty, emeritus.

"I still get an immense sense of joy and satisfaction," he says, "facing a group of 18- year-olds in class." At home, in Norwich, Vt., he and Rosemary happily face William, a Mexican donkey, who has been a family pet for 30 years.

Comings and goings. We are delighted to note the re-marriage of Hardwick Caldwell to Mrs. Betsy Henry June 23 at their home on Lookout Mountain, Tenn.; our congratulations. And we are saddened to report the death of Joe MacFarland, congestive heart failure, in Florida, May 12.

Don't forget the Yale game mini-reunion, October 12-14.

That's it. Blessings.
