1976

76 I'm still catching up on news left me by my predecessor, so some of this may be quite old. But old news is better than no news ... I'll start with current news, forwarded to Martha Hennessey by JulieMiller Shepherd. Following our reunion Julie spent some time with Marion Mustard at her home in Chatham, Mass. Marion was unable to attend as she is bedridden with multiple sclerosis, but she thanks her classmates for their warm sentiments and souvenirs sent from the reunion.Julie reports that she and Marion were able to watch the Dartmouth Flashbacks video courtesy of Sara Hoagland Hunter. Marion was visited earlier in June by Susan Walter, who is living and working in Montpelier, Vt, and by Corinne Lebalme and Joie Hyde after the reunion.

John Hagelin was tie subject of an in-depth profile in the February edition of the Fairfield (Iowa) Source. John graduated from Dartmouth in three years, received his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard and has since established himself as a leader in die field of "New Physics." As best as I can understand it, the "new physicists" seek the answers to the "ultimate" questions, and John Hagelin has been recognized for his work in defining a Theory of Everything—"a single theory explaining how the world we see around us emerges from an underlying unifying field." Following work at Europe's largest subatomic physics laboratory in Geneva and later at Stanford, he has chaired the physics department at Maharishi International University in Fairfield, lowa, since 1984.
