1940s


George S. Vasil, L’41, of Spokane, Washington, writes, “It has been amazing to follow the growth of the university since I started my first semester at the law school, when tuition was $20 for the quarter. Not being able to pay for the second semester, I joined the Army. From my meager salary of $21 a month, I was able to save enough for tuition, and I re-enrolled in 1937; I graduated in 1941, when I was recalled to active duty in the Army.”

Carl J. Larson, L’42, of Kettering, Ohio, reports that he retired on February 1, 1978.

Sidney P. Mogel, LC’42, BA’44, has been retired and living in Boca Raton, Florida, since 1986.

Clinton P. Mott, E’42, of Salt Lake City, Utah, notes, “The class of 1942 went through the Depression and graduated into the start of World War II, somewhat similar to the present. We worked hard and made it, at least for sixty years.”

Edward P. Carpenter Jr., E’43, writes, “I am living in a golfing community in Boca Raton, Florida. I have lost touch with classmates, as I left Boston to go into the Navy and
never returned.”
