General I hereby report as Secretary of the Council the activities of the year 1929-1930. The activities of the Council are still somewhat curtailed because of the lack of funds with which to operate. How­ ever due to the generosity of the President and the Treasurer of the College the Alumni Council has received a greater sum from the Marietta Fund and the deficit of last year is greatly reduced. We have also effected greater savings in the money by curtailing certain activities which have re­ sulted as follows: EXPENDITURES 1927-28 1928-29 1929-30 *Decrease The Marietta Alumnus Printing $1240.55 $959.16 $867.07 $ 92.09 Pictures and Cuts 165.59 144.85 68.41 76.44 Mailing 67.42 59.53 49.05 10.48 Subscription Appeals 43.84 95.63 95.63 Assistants 875.00 615.00 420.00 195.00 Traveling Expense 188.40 98.34 70.17 28.17 Office Supplies 34.16 9.19 1.80 7.39 $505.20 •Decrease—this year less than last year. II. The General Catalog Last August at the direction of this annual meeting a year ago the newly printed 1400 General Catalogs were mailed to a selected list of Alumni with the request for a dollar to pay for it. The sum of $76.50 was received. This sum with $1000.00 from the Marietta Fund just clears this account to where the Council funds can absorb the remainder. The account is as follows: Expenditures Receipts 1928-1929 $1,111.49 From Alumni $ 76.50 1929-1930 8.82 From Marietta Fund 1,000.00 $1,120.31 $1,076.50 Deficit $43.81 III. Regional Meetings This year 13 Regional Meetings have been held, all of which were successful and most enjoyable from every point of view. The number, 547 attending, is larger this year by 103 than a year ago. Three new clubs have been organized, bringing the number to 18. We regret that there was no opportunity to hold the Philadelphia and Detroit meetings. (Continued on page 154.) 122 THE MARIETTA ALUMNUS SCIENCE HALL—THE OLD TOWER BUILDING.

  • A Final Chapter
    A FINAL CHAPTER Compiled By J. L. HERRERA A FINAL CHAPTER DEDICATED TO: The memory of my father, Godfrey (‘Geoff’) Allman Clarke; who saw a good book and a comfortable chair as true pleasures … AND WITH SPECIAL THANKS TO: Mirka Hercun-Facilli, Eve Masterman, Ellen Naef, Cheryl Perriman, Patrick Herrera, Sheila Given, Marie Cameron, Poppy Lopatniuk, and the Meeting House Library. INTRODUCTION So much for thinking it was time to cut and run, or descend heavily into a comfortable armchair, and say “No more”. I did actually say just that. And then the old itch came over me. Like someone becoming antsy at the sight of a card table or roulette wheel. One more go won’t hurt— The trouble is—the world may be drowning under books most of which I don’t particularly want to read but there are always those which throw up an idea, a thought, a curiosity, a sense of delight, a desire to know more about someone or something. They sneak in when I’m not on guard. I say “I wonder—” before I realise the implications. On the other hand they, the ubiquitous ‘they’, keep telling us ordinary mortals to use our brains. Although I think that creating writers’ calendars is the ultimate in self-indulgence I suppose it can be argued that it does exercise my brain. And as I am hopeless at crossword puzzles but don’t want my brain to turn into mush … here we go round the mulberry bush and Pop! goes the weasel, once more. I wonder who wrote that rhyme? At a guess I would say that wonderful author Anon but now I will go and see if I can answer my question and I might be back tomorrow to write something more profound.

  • I Could Tell You a Thousand Stories of Their Heroism…”1
    “I Could Tell You a Thousand Stories of Their Heroism…”1 Voices of the Gettysburg Campaign and the First Day of Battle Eric A. Campbell These letters were written when we were very young, but they breathe forth but one spirit, that of patriotic devotion to the cause in which we were engaged, under an ever-crushing pressure of danger, exposure, hardship, toil, and privation, unequalled or unsurpassed in the history of any country, and certainly worthy of preservation and recital for many generations to come.2 Robert G. Carter wrote these words 48 years after his service with the 22nd Massachusetts ended, in attempting to describe the importance of his and his brothers’ wartime letters in completing his masterful classic, Four Brothers in Blue. Of all of the information available to the modern Civil War historian, the soldiers’ letters, diaries, and other wartime writings are by far the most valuable. Ironically, they are often the most overlooked sources. Why these writings have been underutilized will be discussed in more detail later. The intention of this paper, however, is to tell the story of the Gettysburg campaign and the first day of the battle (July 1, 1863) through the wartime writings created by both Union and Confederate soldiers. The reasons for taking this approach also help to explain the vast importance of these letters. Primarily, these writings contain the words of the soldiers themselves, who were not just eyewitnesses, but also participants in the events which they described. Being created during or just after the Gettysburg campaign, these letters, preserving the original spellings and grammar, create a tangible sense of immediacy unmatched by post-war writings.

  • About Charles Gates Dawes
    About Charles Gates Dawes Dawes was one of the most important public figures of the day – a distinguished lawyer, banker, general, diplomat, author, composer and the 30th vice president of the United States from 1925 to 1929. He was a key figure in the nomination of William McKinley for President (1894), Comptroller of the Currency (1898-1901), United States Army General during World War I, and the chairman of the general purchasing board for the American Expeditionary Forces. For his work on rehabilitation of German finances to stabilize its economy following World War I (the Dawes Plan), he was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize (1925). After leaving the office of Vice President in 1929, President Herbert Hoover appointed Dawes as the Ambassador to the United Kingdom. Dawes led the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in 1932, which organized a government response to the Great Depression. He resigned from that position to return to banking in Chicago, and to assist his brother, Rufus Dawes, President of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair to ensure the financial success of that historic event. Dawes’ family arrived in America on the Mayflower in 1620. His grandfather rode with Paul Revere in 1775 to warn American colonists of the advancing British army at the outbreak of the American Revolution. And, his father commanded the 6th Wisconsin Regiment of the Iron Brigade from 1863 to 1864 during the American Civil War. Among the many other interesting facts about Dawes is that he was a self-taught pianist and a composer. In 1911 he composed Melody in A Major which became a well-known piano and violin song in 1912, and then a No.
