The Secretary attended the secretaries' meeting, which is described in detail in this number of the MAGAZINE. Hanover was at its best, which is saying a great deal. The new buildings are full of interest for alumni as well as undergraduates. But what impresses me most is the general college atmosphere. There is a poise and earnestness and a maturity on the part of the men one meets which is an indication of the high standards which are being maintained.
The class of '92 seems to have acquired a retiring disposition. No doubt you have seen in the papers that Eke Hall retires from the vice-presidency of the American Tel. and Tel., and will in the future make Hanover his home. He is building a house which one can already see is large and which I am sure will be most attractive on the Rope Ferry Road
A letter from Bliss announces his retirement from the presidency of the State Teachers College, Trenton, N. J., at the close of the school year. Mr. and Mrs. Bliss expect to spend next winter with their son Don Jr., who is U. S. trade commissioner in Java. He writes that later he intends to devote himself to his garden and his flowers, but I have an idea the educational world will not let him pursue quite so ideal a leisure.
Secretary, 285 Columbus Ave., Boston
