1940 to 1943Class Notes Archives----- From July 2008 AALFNY Newsletter ----- Avis de Décès: ● Michael Woodbury's ('42) son, informed us that "My father passed away on June 2, 2007. I think that he really enjoyed his stint at your school even though he did not talk much about it until his later years." ● Betsy Jolas ('43) wrote to inform us that Mathilde Mortimer ('43) passed away in 1995, or thereabouts. She said: "Mathilde's Irst marriage was to an American - 3 sons, one deceased. Her 2nd marriage was to a scottish duke - she became Duchess of Argyll. The last part of her life was spent between the old castle of Argyll near Edimburgh and her Paris flat where I saw her frequently." ----- From December 2007 AALFNY Newsletter ----- ● Dorrit (Zucker-Hale) Cohn ('42) is the Bernbaum Professor of Literature at Harvard University. In 1999, the Modern Language Association of America awarded her its seventh annual Scaglione Prize for Comparative Literary, honoring her for her book of comparative literary theory, The Distinction of Fiction. Cohn said the book began as a series of essays written for various periodicals. "One was on Freud's case histories, one was on Proust, and I decided that they all fit together. I added some chapters to the essays that I published, and it seems to be considered a real book. I am very pleased about the award, of course," she said.
