1934

The College announced that the Roger C.Wilde 1921 Reunion Award for extraordinary achievement in setting a new reunion record (comprehensive) was given to the class of 1934—its 70th reunion. The total amount was $663,740, and Stan Smoyer received the chairmans citation for outstanding service.

Jus: after our 70th reunion class meeting Augusta Goodman asked me if I had a breakdown as to how many students matriculated at Dartmouth in 1930 from each of our states. I told her I didn't but that I would find out—so here it is; New York had the most with 153, then Massachusetts, 143; Illinois, 56; New Jersey, 53; Connecticut, 42; Ohio, 38; New Hampshire, 28; Pennsylvania, 27; Michigan, 13; Missouri, 10; Vermont, 9; Wisconsin, 8; Indiana, 8; Rhode Island, 8; California, 6; Minnesota, 6; Maine, 6; Nebraska, 5; Virginia, 4; Colorado, 3; lowa, 3; Kentucky, 3; Tennessee, 3; Washington, D.C., 3; Maryland, 3; Oregon, 2; Idaho, 2; Wyoming, 2; West Virginia, 2; Georgia, 2; Delaware, 2; Montana, 1; Kansas, 1; Oklahoma, 1; Texas, 1; and Louisiana, 1.That's a total of 35 states and Washington, D.C. There were also six foreign students. This leaves 13 states that were not represented at Dartmouth. Wonder what it is today? Quite different, I presume.

It is with extreme sadness that we learned a few days ago of the death of our classmate and former class president, Jack Tobin, on December 11,2004, at his home in Westerly, Rhode Island. To his lovely wife, Bobbie, and their children we send our deepest sympathy—he was a wonderful guy who did so much for his class and Dartmouth.
