CLASS OF 1916
Conforming to the plan announced by the Secretary in the September issue of the Sixteener," all "interested members" of the class will receive a year's subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, commencing with the current issue. If your name has through error been omitted from the mailing list, notify the Secretary at once.
Returns from the questionnaire enclosed with the September bulletin have been very encouraging to date, but there are still over two hundred men to be heard from. The statistics requested are necessary to bring the class records to date; upon your co-operation depends the success of the effort.
