Class Note 1942
Issue
Sept - Oct 2016
The deadlines come faster. Summer is in full swing along with its delightful weather.
In our last column we promised to go into greater detail on the new residential communities recently created at Dartmouth. Rather than rewriting, the quote following is from Dartmouth Now, an e-newsletter issued by the College, and it briefly explains the new and exciting program.
“The new residential life model, a cornerstone of the Moving Dartmouth Forward plan, is designed to transform the undergraduate living experience, bringing more continuity to students’ on-campus living experiences and presenting greater opportunity for faculty-student interaction beyond the classroom. In May six faculty members were appointed house professors. They will live in single-family homes assigned to each of the six house communities. A seventh professor will serve as faculty director of the McLaughlin Cluster, where the living-learning communities will be located. The house professors are serving a four-year term, which began on July 1. The house professors and their families will live in a College residence within a short walk of their house community. In the start of the program each student can name up to five fellow students with whom they would like to share this new community residence.”
We are pleased to announce that Ginia Allison, widow of Huntly Allison, will be our new class newsletter editor. Please send her your news and congratulate Ginia.
We received a delightful letter from Bob Gale, who continues writing and publishing, and latest news of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In our next column we will report the performance of the great class of ’42 in the Dartmouth College Fund.
For those of you with family in the area, Homecoming is October 28-29 and it will give you all a chance to watch Dartmouth defeat Harvard.
Please take a minute to send us your news. This column thrives on your news.
At this writing it is our sad duty to report the loss of William Uptegrove. You can read his WW II memoir in our book, Dartmouth at War.
