CLASS OF 1890

Secretary Andrew M. Mellon has appointed Henry H. Hilton one of three representatives of the public in the Federal Tax Simplification Board. This office pays no salary, but entails large responsibility in simplifying the forms and procedure in collecting federal taxes. This appointment came to Mr. Hilton unsolicited, and gives an opportunity for large service. It will necessitate spending some time each month in Washington. Secretary Mellon is one of the ablest men in the national life at Washington, and it will be a pleasure to be associated with him. At the close of the war, Mr. Hilton gave one year of time to settling the affairs between the colleges and the government, and at that time received a very appreciative letter from the secretary of war for the very efficient service rendered the country at that time.

Secretary, Charles A. Perkins, 200 Fifth Ave., New York
