Class of 1906

Bill Fox is now with the United States Rubber Company in Knoxville, Tenn. Just what he is doing for them the Secretary has not yet learned, but his address is Box 755, Knoxville.

Art Chapin was recently elected a director of the New England Confectionery Company.

On February 10 Dr. Arthur D. Holmes delivered a lecture before the students of the Framingham, Mass., Normal School on "Recent Developments in the Manufacture and Testing of Cod Liver Oil."

Almost simultaneously the Secretary received post-cards from Shorty Davis and Harold Rugg on their European tours. Shorty was on his way to Egypt, having motored along the Riviera to Naples, with an ascent of Vesuvius for a climax. Harold was just approaching Naples from the opposite direction, having seen Egypt, Palestine, and Greece. He said he had read an ALUMNI MAGAZINE in Constantinople, and noted the '06 news with interest. I conclude that the Turkish news-stands are quite up to date.

The Chicago Daily Journal for March 12 carried an interview with Nat Leverone, who is secretary of the Interfraternity Club of Chicago, under the heading "Worldly Old Grads Blamed for Lax Morals by Leverone." Here are the main points the reporter attributes to Nat: "Morals of college men of today are infinitely better than those of undergraduates of twenty years ago . . . Instead of standards of the outside world being in danger because of the influence of college men, the college boys are in danger of being injured by the example set by their own graduate fraternity brothers ... In recent conversations with college presidents I have been told that most of the so-called college drinking occurs at football games, and the disorderly ones are not the students, but the visiting graduates, who sometimes assist in leading younger fraternity brothers into wild parties." Since this article appeared Nat has been kept busy defending his position in debates—informal oneswith the "old grads," but he writes he has not backed down yet.

Secretary, Henniker, N. H.
