Asakawa spent his vacation at North Hatley, Que., and Whitefield, N. H.

Atwood was at the July camp at Plattsburg.

Roger Warren Barney arrived June 11 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Barney in East Milton.

Benezet was elected school superintendent at Manchester, N. H., June 2, but did not accept. Instead he has taken the same position with the city of Evansville, Ind., at a ntuch larger salary.

N. P. Brown and family spent the summer at their new summer home opposite the hospital in Hanover.

Galusha has removed his business plant to 11 Elkins St., South Boston.

Gerould was made a full professor at Princeton in April. He, too, was at Plattsburg in July.

Johnston delivered a brand-new humorous talk on geology at the Little Theater at Hanover, Tuesday afternoon of Commencement, before and at the invitation of the reuning class of 1906.

Martin addressed the Bird Study Club of Hartford recently upon "Nature Study in our Schools."

The publication of H. A. Miller's "The School and the Immigrant," embodying his investigations under the Cleveland Survey of the Cleveland school system with respect to the immigrant, made quite a stir in Cleveland. It has already run into a second edition, caused a clash in the school board, and resulted in a complete reorganization of the night schools in accordance with the recommendations made by Miller. At the luncheon at which Miller's report was put out, Dr. Ayer, in speaking of it, referred to Jacob Riis' book, "How the Other Half Lives," and said Miller's report might properly have been called "Who the Other Half Are."

Musgrove attended the Progressive convention in Chicago.

'99-ers at Hanover for Commencement were N. P. Brown, who entertained the class informally on the porch of his new cottage Monday afternoon, Clark, Gannon (attending the meeting of the Council), Johnston, Musgrove, Parker, Storrs, Tibbetts, Wardle, and Sam Smith, the last seeing for the very first time a commencement at Dartmouth.

The advisability of leaving our reuning costumes with Dave Storrs was brought out this year. Hats were worn by the '99-ers in the alumni procession, and Johnston delivered his new talk in full costume of coat and hat. Parker as a member of Gov. Spaulding's staff helped to add brilliancy and color to the Commencement procession.

Secretary, George G. Clark, 60 State St., Boston
