Philip Fox, professor of astronomy at Northwestern University and director of Dearborn Observatory, has been appointed director of the Adler Planetarium, which will be open to the public next January. The cost of the institution will be about $600,000. It is the first of its kind to be erected in the United States. Fox will give a series of lectures to familiarize the public with the purpose and workings of the institution.

Arba Irvin represented the class at the recent meeting of secretaries in Hanover. He had not been in Hanover for twenty years, and had a glorious time. Arba reports that if the Baker Library had been there in his day he would have made Phi Beta Kappa. On the way down from Hanover Arba saw Ralph Taylor in Springfield. Perhaps Ralph told him one or two robust stories.

T. P. Hubbard lives in Edmond, Okla., and represents W. B. Saunders Company of Philadelphia, publishers of medical books. Those who didn't read Tom's letter in the last report missed a treat.

The Boston Herald recently published an article on Bob Estabrook under the caption, "People You Ought to Know." Esty has 22,000 people helping him run the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, and presides over properties worth $250,000,000. He is now operating vice-president of the company.
