1954

September 1952: The college opens its 184 th year. Theta Delt ousted from National for voiding race clause. Dormitory hours for female guests

advanced until midnight on Saturday nights. The Dartmouth reports that "diminutive Wally Anderson turned in day's longest run, a 22 yard jaunt around end" in last practice before Holy Cross Game and that the Jacko published a column which was "largely the work of editor, James C. Fisher: The observations in 'Vox Clamatis' occasionally cause the more fanciful to recall The New Yorker's 'Talk of the Town.'" Spring letter winners in 150 pound rowing were announced: BobBuchanan, Bill Mayberry, Lew Nash, GaryZwart, Howdy Russell, and Joel Poorman.

Bob Clements was retired as head of Marsh & McLennan Risk Capital Corp., a unit of Marsh & McLennan formed in 1992 with Bob's help. He will continue to devote himself to investment activities of the unit, and will continue as a director of the parent company.

Our Dartmouth Medical School doctors attended their 40th Reunion. Twelve of the 23 attended: Ted Gasteyer, Ed Kieger,Don Brief, Bruce La Follette, EdHorton, Bob Spears, John Herrmann,Jay Chandler, John Crowe, John Moran,Bruce Pattee, and Bob O'Neal.

The Academy of Medicine of New Jersey awarded its annual Citizen's Award to Don Brief. While on the subject of medicine, our class is becoming more hip. Last year, RodRockefeller had both his hips replaced and now our dauntless reunion chair, JohnGillespie, has acquired a new hip.

The U.S.consul general in Bermuda has reported that a group of Dartmouth alumni living in Bermuda have formed a club and held their first meeting at "Chelston," the official residence of the consul general. Among the eight attending was TomKelsey. Is it true that they all met at tea time wearing short pants?

The Cape Cod Times reports that JackDonahue celebrated his 1,000th coaching victory at Nauset Regional High School on Cape Cod. Jack has, over 36 years, coached the baseball team to a 432-153 record, the soccer team to a 360-92 record, and the ice hockey team to a 208-90 record. He is, perhaps, the first Massachusetts coach to win 1,000 games.

One of his fellow coaches described Jack, "After he has considered the facts with his head, he lets his heart take a look too. He is a friend. He has a sense of humor, a humble spirit and can laugh at himself. He is not interested in having his own way, but in finding the best way. He has an open mind. He keeps his eyes on his goals and strives to make the efforts of his coaching staff and himself contribute to the enrichment and improvement of all."

Your class officers attended the Class Officers Weekend last May and were proud to be present when Dick Barker received a Dartmouth Alumni Award. (More details in Pete's newsletter.) Fourteen Barkers of three generations were present.
