It does seem as if some people simply cannot keep out of print. Of course different people adopt different means of appearing before the public eye, but perhaps it doesn't matter how it is done provided there is good and sufficient reason for the publicity. Take Adam Sutcliffe for instance, who has insisted all winter that he has been busy teaching accounting at Providence Northeastern. We met up at the Boston University Club the other noon quite by accident (although Adam swears that he had been trying all morning to reach me by phone to invite me to lunch, however that is neither here nor there), and before I had a chance to even ask"How's your uncle?" Adam bubbles over with "Did you hear about Ann?" Well now I vaguely remember that once many years ago someone asked me if I knew how old she was, but I thought I would bite anyway and then spring one myself, so I said, "No, Ann who?" "Why, Ann Sutcliffe," grinned Adam. "She arrived bright and early New Year's morning." That makes three of a kind for the Sutcliffe household, and it begins to look as though Mildreth will have a lot to say as to where the children receive their higher education, unless Adam can convince the authorities that Dartmouth should be coeducational by 1940. Congratulations.

There has been no small amount of speculation as to the reason for John Healy's sojourn in Chicago. Fortunately our Chicago representative has been able to discover no reason other than business, i.e., up to the pres- ent writing. John is still in the employ of the U. S. Rubber Company, but has been as- signed temporarily at least to the Mechanical Rubber Company, West Grand Ave.

Those of you who were so fortunate as to receive the recent issue of the New York Association bulletin no doubt read with some pride and interest that one who received his degree with us in June, 1915, was the guest of honor at the annual dinner of the Association. Daniel Willard, president of the B. & O. R. R., was among those from without the College who were welcomed on that June day, and if he, busy executive that he must be, can find the time to attend Dartmouth functions, his feeling for the College cannot be far different from that in 1915, which he expressed by saying that if he could have gone to any college he would have crossed the river and entered Dartmouth.

It also seemed quite natural to read in the same issue that Walt Wanger as "chairman of the entertainment committee put on his first show, which played to a capacity house." Judging from the excellent quality of the bill, Walt seems to have lost none of that ability and energy which he utilized so successfully for the benefit of the Dramatic Association.

Recent advices from the New York district also call attention to the fact that Dick Clarke, a member of the board of governors of the aforesaid association, has disaffiliated him- self from the firm of Clarke and Howe, and is navigating his own boat in the insurance sea. The Grand Coverage Underwriters, located at 84 William St., represent some ten insurance companies, and are therefore capable of assuming risks whose liabilities are of chain store warehouse magnitude anywhere in North or South America. This information in substance is believed to be correct, as the source is of unusual reliability.

It has been some time since word has been received of the whereabouts of Nove Winters. He, too, it appears, is in the insurance business out in Quincy, Ill.

Just what the duties are of the superintendent of track of the New York Central is not entirely clear in mind, but I assume that he is the one who rides around that system in a private car and spots the rough rails or loose ties. If anyone wishes to check this information, I am certain that Russ Kelly will give you first hand information about the jobsimply address him at Clearfield, Pa.

I wonder if Al Sherman knows that Ray McGuire is living or perhaps has his business at 101 Williams St., New Bedford. Here is the nucleus of a 1915 New Bedford Club.

Al Sherman was one of the eight faithful and healthy members of the clan that came out for the Boston Association dinner in January. The other seven were Norv Milmore, Al Priddy, Earl Clough, Jack Mason, Walt Meader, Kike Richardson, Dale Barker.

Hal Davison is stepping right along politically speaking; he now wields the gavel as president of the New Hampshire Senate.

Just a reminder,—are you one of the few who are still thinking about sending Jack three dollars?

Secretary, 9 Woodland St., Arlington, Mass.
