CLASS OF 1922

The New York Times recently quoted from the report of the dean of New York University as follows:
"For the past year or two it has become evident that the committee system under which much of the routine work of administration in the college had been carried on was imposing an intolerable burden, particularly upon the chairmen of certain committees, especially the committee on scholarship and the committee of student advisers. After a careful study of the problem, the appointment of Winthrop B. Ranney of the department of English was approved by the administration and the council to act in this capacity.
"It was recommended that this officer should take over with executive powers most of the authority exercised by the committee on scholarship, the committee on student advisers, and some of the authority exercised by the chairman of the committee on organizations. While the committees on scholarship, student organizations, and student advisers will continue in existence, they will have but an advisory function."
The powers delegated by the dean's office to the counselor of studies include the action upon scholarship cases, the conduct of the process of registration, and the determination of eligibility. It is believed that the organization of this office is doing much to simplify and to make more efficient the conduct of college routine.

Tom Quinn has opened his law office at Suite 805, 505 Fifth Ave., New York city.
Andy Marshall, new Boston whip, states that on February 27 the lads of that vicinity forgathered for luncheon at Hugo's Restaurant, Boylston St. Those at the board were Ray Atwood, Tony Hanlon, Len Momssey, Fred Buswell, and Andy. We are told that such a luncheon will be held every week, and by the use of Morrissey's telephone and by the operation of the law of habit it is expected that something will come of the plan. If a dozen or so appear every week a regular table will be engaged.
It appears that Charlie Earle is in charge of advertising for Harris, Forbes, and Company in Boston, This is the first definition of the nature of his work that we have submitted.
Ray Atwood and Bob Booth have been appointed to act with Chick Hopkins in the Alumni Fund work in the class. There is a suspicion abroad that by a little more cajolery some of us may be induced to do better by the Fund than we have in past years. You have read in the Twoter that the distinguished editor of that paper thinks our showing has been rotten. Ray and Bob are to help Chick in the thankless task of raising the quota. There is a job worth doing.
A new address for Russ Barton: 49 South Gallatin Ave., Uniontown, Pa., where are purveyed automobile tires.

One of the most harmonious dinners the class has had was held at the Dartmouth Club of New York on the night before Washington's birthday. The diners talked about divers things and bandied I know not how many quips about the table. Nearly everything of any importance was discussed to the delight of those at the crowded board. After about an hour and a half the dinner broke up, and we walked together up Fifth Avenue. There were present Andrew McClary Heath and Francis Harding Horan.
Tom Lenci was on the northern New Jersey committee which aided Dean Bill in interviewing applicants for Dartmouth.
Harvey Moses, Springfield financial titan, was in New York recently, and invited ye ed. to breakfast with him and Kip Orr. We couldn't make it, but the class Shakespeare did.
