Otto Taylor writes from New York that news items about the individual men seem few and far between. The married men stay married, and the bachelors refuse to change their status. He does want to say that early in April the New York crowd held a dinner at the Dartmouth Club, New York, with about twenty men in attendance. This is one of the largest 1910 gatherings that has been held in New York. Dr. Frank Meleney, who returned not so long ago from Peking Union Medical College, gave a talk on the present Chinese situation, illustrated by pictures he had taken himself. When he finished he was bombarded with questions on military, religious, economic, political and every other imaginable aspect of the Chinese problem. It must have been very interesting, for the crowd stayed until midnight, and then weren't satisfied.
Denny Pratt is now located at 1440 Broadway, with the Retail Research Association.
Harold Robinson hasn't seemed much worried about the situation in Northern China, although the last word which I received from him was sent in March. He and his family are still at Paotingfu, and apparently have no intention of leaving.
Russ Palmer is sending out some very clever stuff on the Alumni Fund. The only danger seems to be that it makes it so interesting that a fellow is tempted to hold back so as to be sure to get the whole series of letters. If for this reason, or any other, you have failed to respond to Russ's appeals, get busy and let him know you are alive, at any rate.
Ben Ames Williams's stories continue to be featured by various magazines. The Red Book for February contained Ben's picture and an advance notice of his story "Tup," which was the feature for March. He continues to contribute regularly to the Saturday Evening Post. Recently there has been a most interesting series of letters written from Fraternity.
