1936

Three cheers and a tiger, red rose with each, for Frank Kappler, editor/columnist/reporter of the "other paper," Tithe, where we all get the real, interesting story on what's going in Dartmouth '36. Frank, who has been through surgery (plus chemotherapy) 17 times is looking at a possible 18th. Meanwhile, in his enthusiastic, ebullient way, he gathers information from all and sundry to keep us so completely wellinformed.

On phoning Bob Keeler in Cincinnati to ascertain the real story of how the 33-foot Ohio River flood was affecting the area, information came up that great planning—he was in Hawaii!

Eddie Chamberlain weighs in from New London, N.H., with news of fourand-one-half-feet of snow, great skiing weather, along with great regard for staying in-house by the fire. Says greater diversity in the undergraduate community, which is being accommodated successfully, is raising new challenges, objectives, and directions.

Warmly enfolding letter received from Thomas J. Barnico '77, expresses his affectionate appreciation of Brint and Doris Schorer as follows:

"I was sorry to read of the death of your classmate, Brint Schorer '36. I remember him vividly as a loyal Dartmouth sports fan and supporter of Theta Delta Chi. For each home football game in the 19705, Brint (with freshman beanie) and Doris would tailgate near our fraternity house and join us in the post-game party. In the winter he would often visit for a weekend for a basketball or hockey game, and buy a keg for the boys in the house. In summer he invited us to his place on Lake Mascoma.

"It seems unfair that he died in October, with his beloved Dartmouth Indians undefeated and headed for an Ivy League title. But who's to say he was not at Princeton in spirit in November, for the last game ever played at Palmer Stadium and the tenth and final victory in the glorious season of 1996?"

How strengthening for each of us is the knowledge the central ethos of the Dartmouth community continues "Undying."

After approximately 15 years of exceptionally heavy spring flood-flushing and expenditure of maybe one billion dollars on municipal pollution control and sanitary plants, the Potomac River is back fishing, sailing, rowing, and SWIMMING are in again!
