Many of you may have read of our class project to publish memoirs of our participation in WW II, either direct or indirect. This effort promises to be one of the most exciting contributions to the College, our families and theirs to follow. It is completely dependent on your narratives. When you receive the letter in the mail please be sure to put your memories on computer so that your narrative can be part of the best collection of WW II experiences either at home or abroad. We were the first class to have our education interrupted by the start of WW II, since most of us were in the first semester of our senior year. We have seen other such collections and they are great. We want ours to be not only great but the best.


The annual Stephen Mandel Society dinner was held in New York City April 14. Leo Caproni reports that awards are given to classes for record giving and effort. This year the classes of 1989, 1961 and 1953 were the big winners—particularly significant were the donations that will result in one of the new Commons rooms to be named after the class of 1953. Leo wants the class of 1942 to be admitted into the Mandel Society, and that is completely dependent on your giving, not in dollar amount but in percentage of giving to the Dartmouth College Fund. He is shooting for 100 percent. Please do not let him down.
