1934

Like all dutiful husbands I do exactly what my wife wants me to do. She persuaded me to clean up a lot of personal stuff that I had accumulated during the years and as a result I sent copies of many newspaper and magazine articles about the Dartmouth-Cornell "fifthdown" football game to Josie Harper, our athletic director, but what would I do about my senior thesis, "A History of the Dartmouth Medical School?" Incidentally this thesis, which consisted of many pages, was typed by my girlfriend Nina, whom I married two years later. We will be celebrating our 70th in December. I phoned Em Day, our president and illustrious doctor, who phoned the Medical School to see if there was any interest in receiving my thesis. The answer was in the affirmative so off my thesis went to the Medical School.

At long last I started to read Dr. Frank Lepreau's book and was very much impressed. It is easy reading, extremely well written and very emotional in spots. If he wasn't such a good doctor he would have made an excellent writer. More about his book when I get finished reading it.

Our living members of our class are diminishing. We regret to advise the deaths of Nick Xanthaky, Bill Barnetll and Walter Adelof. Our sincerest sympathy to their families.
