1930

Taking the dual job of both newsletter and secretary's report in ZAM is a bit daunting for me. With the hope of more input from our 67 surviving classmates and 152 widows, as of June, I will do my best to write items of interest to you all. Bob Marr's death in April leaves a fine record of long service as class secretary. He will be greatly missed by a host of friends and family. He traveled to over 100 countries in the service of our State Department, and his love of being 'on the go' carried thru to his last years. News of the College would be hard to compress into the limit of 350 words. The issue of changing the fraternity-sorority traditions is probably going to unravel slowly, with strong emotions expressed by alumni, students, and faculty. I would appreciate your ideas on what is really of interest to hear from your classmates. We survivors have reached the time when our activities are limited. Keeping healthy is our prime concern. The prospect of attending our 70th Reunion in June 2000 keeps many of us aware of the need to eat well and do our exercises. Burt Crandell will be in touch with details and let's hope we can break all records for attendance.

Bill Fenton, our class president, recently was honored at Yale Graduate School Alumni Association by the presentation of the Wilbur Lucias Cross Medal. To quote from a letter from Yale, "for outstanding achievements similar in some respect to the multifaceted career of Dean Cross." Seneca Indian culture and anthropology studies were the areas of Bill's lifetime love for teaching and writing. It is so fitting that Dartmouth's origins, related to teaching the Indians, produced a graduate like him, who is the foremost historian on Indian affairs today.
