1922

Jack and Fran Dodd have moved to their new home, Troy Court, 738 New England Ave., Summit, N. J. 07901, where the entire Dartmouth fellowship wishes them many years of health and happiness. Jack will become Trustee Emeritus in June after ten years on the Dartmouth Board. He has given himself wholeheartedly to the advancement of the College. As the first man to be named an Overseer of both graduate schools, he has thus served both Tuck and Thayer. He worked diligently and successfully for the development of joint facilities and program collaboration between the two schools. As a Trustee he was vice chairman of the Committee on Alumni and Public Affairs and was a member of Committee on the Budget, Buildings and Grounds, and Trustee Planning. Jack was also National Chairman of the 1961 and 1962 Alumni Fund Campaigns, the former being the first campaign to reach $1 million and the latter substantially exceeding that amount. Before retirement six years ago Jack was vice president of the New York Telephone Co. The sincere gratitude of the College and the Class goes to Jack and Fran with the hope that they will frequently come to Hanover where a warm welcome always awaits them.

Dr. Robert F. Bradish has recently been named an Honorary Fellow in The Society of Eye Surgeons. As indicated, "Certainly, this honor is befitting an outstanding individual, one of our greatest senior ophthalmologists, who has done so much to further both military and civilian ophthalmology. Your numerous assignments in training others and installing the best principles of patient care can not be forgotten. Indeed, Military Ophthalmology would never have progressed to its present state of superiority without your dedicated work."

The Society of Eye Surgeons promotes the science of ophthalmic surgery among all peoples and nations by sponsoring fellowships in eye surgery for young ophthalmologists, research involving eye surgery, and numerous other activities for the international interchange of ophthalmic knowledge.

Bob received his M.D. from the University of Vermont in 1926. For many succeeding years he served with the U. S. Army Medical Corps from which in 1947 he retired as a colonel. Since then he has been active as a consultant in Ophthalmology for the Veteran Administration Hospital, Fayetteville, N. C.; Womack Army Hospital, Fort Bragg, N. C.; and the North Carolina Tuberculosis Sanitarium.

He and Vera Gladys Sample were married 45 years ago in St. Albans, Vt. of their two children, John and Jane, the latter sadly passed away a few years ago. The grandparents have four thoroughly enjoyed grandchildren. The Class warmly congratulates Bob and Vera and eagerly looks forward to welcoming them back to our Fiftieth.

Alumni Councilman Clifton E. Watson must want '22 to elect another class secretary, a thought neither unique nor unseconded. Otherwise, why would Clif write to ask who are the youngest and the oldest members of this famous clan of '22? A candid reply is patently political harikari; nevertheless, according to class records, here are the facts.

John Kemeny at 44 is obviously our youngest as well as our most distinguished classmate. After spanning a few (?) years then come Jim Cravens, April 15, 1903; Mal Clarke, June 13, 1902; Phil Gove June 27, 1902; Shaw Livermore, September 1, 1902; Haskell Cohn, Jack Dana, and Gaylord Anderson, these last three were born in December 1901.

Of these seven precocious kids, still under ago 70, four—Phil, Shaw, Haskell and Andy—now appear in Who's Who in America. Phil also has an honorary Litt.D. from the College. Four of the seven—Mai, Shaw, Haskell, and Andy were and are Phi Beta Kappa. All of which clearly demonstrates the greater talent among present undergraduates as compared with '22—says who?

Our more mature classmates—in more ways than one, both then and now—rank as follows: Kev. Richard F. Beyer, RoyW. Hill, Dr. Ronald P. Hallett, Dr. E.Markey Pullen, Phya Montri Donavanick,Rufus LaC. Stevens, and BenjaminL. Bishop. And there's much more than distinction of seniority in that coterie. As for Clif Watson himself, he's merely a broth of a boy and for once he's well behind on the track. Hope that satisfies you, Clif, even though you've probably cost the class scribe his annual free dinner to say nothing of the dividend luncheon of cold cuts and potato salad.

Max Budnitz is reported to have sold his automative supplies business in Spring-field, Mass. Max has been owner and president of his firm for 34 years and now without a job he considers himself a "bum." Welcome to the club, Max.

Last call; Little Reunion, Hanover Inn, April 16-17. No, it's not too late to make reservations at the Inn, 603-643-4300, but April 16-17 will arrive sooner than we think.
