The Alumni Fund committee paid us no small compliment and I dare say ran no small risk when it decided to include 1922 among the few classts on which a short canvass for the fund should be tried this year. As The Dartmouth would say, Let us hope this confidence is not misplaced.

"Hua Seng, Bahurat Road, Bangkok 3rd February, 1928
"Dear Frank,
"Thank you for your note of December IS, and please receive my best wishes for the year.
"How are you getting on with your law practice? I hope that some day you will become a famous lawyer. (Hearken, ye clients! Ed.) As for me I have been working like a dog and the climate here is very taxing. But being in my country whatever I do I fully appreciate it. I always remember my friends in the States, but it seems to be far apart and I feel myself to be lost among them. "Wishing you the best of luck,
Yours sincerely, Donavanik (Don)"

"In addition to this bunch, almost as many more returned their cards, expressing their regrets at not being able to attend this time, but hoping to connect for the next. Many of those on my list are now out of the Boston district, as evidenced by the fact that I received replies from Akron, Ohio, Scranton, Pa., and points east.
"Dick was unable to attend, as it was his day on duty. Apparently he has practically no time of his own, and has to go and come at a moment's notice.
"Dick and I discussed the plan of having an outside speaker, and got in touch with Jimmy Hamilton at Hanover. We finally secured Clarence McDavitt '00, and it was a happy choice. He spoke on the organization of the Alumni Council, its functions, etc., and finally on the programs and activities connected with the College and its administration. To me it was intensely interesting, and I think it was so to the whole group. He held the undivided attention for about 40 minutes, and then it was evident that the bunch was ready for more, so he told a great many interesting stories about the ancient college customs, rules, etc., showing us some papers as old as 1854. I think we will have to look a long time to find another man with so much to offer.

All of the boys in Boston have offered their services for anything which they can do to further the cause. The co-operation is wonderful.
