Williams 1917 Class Reunion Reflects Change Across Era
Moody Williston, Hy Sib, and 73 Williams College alumni from the Class of 1917 gathered for their 50th reunion. They led the alumni parade, received a class gift of $514,000, and pondered Vietnam and automation as a testament to a half century of transformation from gas lit homes to jet age travel. In Washington, the FCC approved the $2.8 billion merger of American Broadcasting Companies into International Telephone & Telegraph, with a 4-3 vote. Justice Dept remains undecided on court action, and both firms agreed to a 30 day pause before completion.
