1944
Doubtless you'll skim over the next couple of paragraphs as you do over the annual report of your insurance company but Ido wish you would read it and think about it.
I mean the 1950 Alumni Fund drive. In the past, we have not lived up to our potential by a long shot. While it is true that those who have participated have been generous (last year 56% of our boys achieved 70% of the objective) we just have not had enough fellows recognize the importance of their contributions to the real life-blood of the college.
You know as well as X that the college cannot survive on its income from tuition and certainly not with the expansive program of attracting and holding a top-drawer faculty and extending its scholarship assistance. Now we're not asking you to break junior's piggy
.... nor on the other hand do we want a "token" contribution. A gift secured thru the loss of a man's good will is a poor achievement. All I would ask is that you give this problem some real thought. know that your money is not going down a rat hole but to a very tangible cause .... and express your faith in the Big Green as best you can afford.
After three years in Rio, Major Dick Paul will come Stateside in June to the lush sands of Fort Benning. Dick, a top flight in- fantry man has been with the Joint BrazilUnited States Military Commission. FrankMcWilliams is peddling carbon black to foreign markets from a plush sth Ave. office. He should send a smidge to that African chieftain's English wife. Bob Totnpa has left the NY "D" Club for a more restful life in Newark. Burt and Ester Bickford have a little heir, Lawrence Alan. Burt is up in Bridgeport debiting and crediting for GE. Phil H.Brown is down in Towson, Md., selling school supplies for J. L. Hammett Co. Phil W. is out in Wantagh, L. I. Doc Mock is now out in Evanston, 111. Fritzer and Joan Hier have been schussing the Austrian Alps on their backs at 6000 ft. The Tyrolian life seems to agree. George Sawyer is a traffic engineer with the Vermont State Highway Dept. John H.Stephanson is hawking hoists and lift trucks and what-have-you in Canada for the S. T. Keller Co. John makes his home in Walkerville, Ont. Jim Tillson is also out of town .... in San Juan, Puerto Rico; I don't know just what he is doing but you can locate him in PO Box 2632. Ralph Beaman is with the Pioneering Research division of DuPont in Wilmington. Charles Larrabee bringing honest journalism to the Chronicle in San Francisco Kirk Bassett has been transferred to Columbus, Ohio for the Hamilton Manufacturing Corp and then there are the rug people, Ted Brush in Detroit with Bigelow-Sanford, and John Eaton in New York with Mohawk.
Some of our Doctors have new locations: recently married John Craighead is out in Denver, Col., Dr. Ed Price is at the Kansas City Gen. Hospital in Mo., Charlie Pierce now in E. Weymouth, Mass., Brad Long is making VooVoo powders at the Peter Brent Brigham hospital in Boston .... and just a swan boat's ride away is Ed Mortimer at the Childrens Hospital. Don Burnham is back in harness practicing at the Chestnut Lodge Sanitarium in Rockville, Md. John Tope is practicing in Oak Park, Ill.
Dave Scotford has been named assistant professor of Geology at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. John Kimmey is an instructor in English at the University of Va., and Lawrence Flower is teaching at the University of Colorado. Former Dartmouth instructor MarkPeisch is now down at Columbia.
In that happy little world of insurance salesmen, John Downs has been made a special agent for the Boston Insurance Co. in San Diego, California, and in New York Pinky Corroon just picked up a "special agent" monicker. Don Evans, another New Yorker, has been knocking them over but I can't recall the name of his firm.
We haven't got too many Real Estate men to help fit us out with hearth and home, so it is a pleasure for me to recommend that you move to Syracuse and contact Dave Parks at the Jackson M. Potter Co. But then neither do we have a lot of guys at the US Embassy in London in the Office of Treasury Representative. Contact Vinton Mitchell there for a short ECA loan.
Dr. Phil Sholl has just been released from the Army and immediately started a fellow- ship in surgery at the Mayo Foundation. As a captain in the Medical Corps, Phil served at the School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph Field and at the Tundall AFB Station Hospital.
Dr. John Craighead and the former Mary Fulton of Greenwich, Conn., steal the marriage spotlight this month. After a New York ceremony and reception at the Hotel One Fifth Ave., on February 11, John and Mary left for a tour of the West Indies. On the same day Beverly Chaney and Louise Craig of Baltimore announced their engagement. Beverly is in New York with Doubleday Bookshops. And then just one day later, another important announcement was made when Paul Jones and Alice Warner of Fitchburg, Mass., made known their wedding plans.
