Class of 1914

The recent advice in these columns to attend Commencement on the off years was not taken by the writer in June, but reliable witnesses report the class represented by Herlihy, Taft, and Ken Fuller. Speaking of Taft, note should be made of Alexander McKaig Taft, born on May 19. The reporter in the person of A 1 Richmond mentions a son, Thomas Noyes, born in Hanover on June 28.

Doc Cook out in Tarrytown, N. Y., mailing his regular check to Mart Remsen included mention of a $4OO income tax deduction (male) born October 27. If you want suitable and timely publicity, Doc, you must send name and date more promptly next time.

Bobbs Merrill Company makes advance announcement of "Winter Rye" to be published for Dan Chase in the early fall.

A recent mailing to Ralph Phelps in Paris comes back unclaimed. Who knows what has become of our French representative?

Phil Smith writes from Hartford in part as follows: "Apparently two things have happened to me recently which could be classed as scandalous or ridiculous. In the first place, due to some mistaken idea of humor, the fellows down here elected me president of the Dartmouth Club of Hartford for next year. I expect that this comes under the heading of 'scandalous.' I also had the misfortune to have an article accepted by Factory Magazine which will appear in the July issue, and I think this will qualify as being 'ridiculous.' "

Johnny Peppard announces the heartrending news of the death of his dog. Members of the class will be desolated at this information.

Mart Remsen had a good letter in May from Lay Little in Peking, written on the letterhead of the Dartmouth Alumni Association of North China, Lay expects a year's leave of absence beginning this fall, and wants to be remembered to everyone before he arrives to bring his greetings in person. Football games ought to bring our Chinese diplomat into our midst all right.
