Victim of Plane Crash
Among the more than seventy army inductees killed in the plane crash near Richmond, VA., in November was Richard Watson Jones, the 1959-1960 president of Omega Chapter at Penn State, who had been an able leader on campus and in the chapter. His parents, Mr., and Mrs. Morris J. Jones survive.
Morgan Again With Kiplinger
Back with the Kiplinger Washington Editors, Inc., as vice president is Boyce Morgan, Penn State, '25, whose career has concerned itself since graduation with both the writing and the business phases of national publications. He is now sales director, vice president, and a member of the board of directors of the Kiplinger Washington Editors, Inc., publishers of the Kiplinger Letters (Washington Letter, Tax Letter, Agricultural Letter, and Florida Letter) and Changing Times, the Kiplinger magazine. This firm also launched the Kiplinger Book Club last year.
In addition, Morgan will continue as president of Better Business by Telephone, a training and consulting service devised to help business firms utilize the telephone more effectively. This has been used by more than 23,000 companies.
In college days Morgan was editor of Froth and the now defunct Old Main Bell and associate editor of La Vie. He started out as a reporter on the Chicago Daily Journal, but soon, fed up with gang wars and covering an average of three murders a week, he joined Associated Editors, Inc., a newspaper feature syndicate. After brief service as California correspondent for Busi-ness Week, he went to Washington, D. C., as vice president and managing editor of the Independent Syndicate. He operated a newspaper syndicate of his own until 1943, when he joined the Kiplinger organization as editor, resigning five years later to establish his own consulting business, Boyce Morgan Associates, where as president he served as consultant to publishers of business magazines.
Official Family of Theta Chi
Item 5099 from the always interesting Over the Desk, edited by Executive Director George W. Chapman: Purely personal, but rather late, is this note to tell our readers that our youngest son, Philip C. Chapman, and Wilma L. Harden, of Philadelphia, were married November 18. So our family grows, and we now have three sons and three daughters. As the family increases in size our household becomes smaller, and we are now back to where we started 37 years ago. The birds have now all left the nest, and sometimes it gets a little lonesome for the old folks at home.
