Johnnie Ward acted as toastmaster, while Jim Kimball responded in his usual happy and humorous way. also read a report of the secretaries' meeting held at Hanover in February. Bill O'Leary gave a very interesting talk, full of deep and earnest thought, in regard to the great work he is doing in Lawrence and in reference to the Americaization problem. Charlie Whelan told of some of his first-hand experiences while in the service and in the army hospitals. Bunker Bishop came over from Brooklyn and related many stories in his" clever and inimitable way. Skunk Hathaway acted as assistant chorister, and certainly made a hit, so much so, that the class says no reunion in the future will be complete without him. The following men were in attendance: Gilmore, O'Leary, Warren, I. J. French, Lowe, Bryant, C. H. Merrill, Ward, J. H. Kimball, Hathaway, J. S. Smith; Cobb,) W. R.

Dr. Charles Whelan has been engaged by the Harvard Athletic Association on the advice of the graduate advisory track committee, to act as supervisor of track athletics and instructor in the department of hygiene. The Boston Herald says: "Whelan has a remarkable record as a developer of schoolboy athletes, having shown himself a good judge of men and an organizer of more than ordinary merit, and when the Harvard authorities cast their eyes about for one who might build a system in track that would bring some of the successes that Haughton has achieved in football and Winsor in hockey, Whelan became very much in their view. Whelan's work probably will have much to do with the development of the mediocre athletes and members of the freshman athletic classes. Dr. Whelan accepted the Harvard position with the understanding that it would be secondary to his professional practice and that he will only give part of his afternoons to coaching."
