CLASS OF 1912

Reports from "Pett" Pettingell are to the effect that the 1912 Alumni Fund quota is coming along slowly. We were somewhat behind the same position at this time last year, and urgent appeal is made to members who have not as yet been heard from. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of your utmost co-operation in sending in as much as you can afford.

In last month's MAGAZINE mention was made of the book written by "Ernie" Osgood, entitled "The Day of the Cattleman." The comments on this work have been most favorable, and we are glad to offer our congratulations to Ernie. The following are just two noteworthy critics' opinions:—

"Mr. E. S. Osgood has performed a singularly valuable service by chronicling, in meticulous detail and in most engaging style, one chapter in the history of the last West. Every page is eloquent, not only of research and erudition, but of first-hand knowledge of life on the high plains. This book is one of the most significant and valuable contributions to the history of the West that has appeared in recent years."

Henry Steele Commager, New York University, in New York Herald Tribune.

"Professor Osgood has written the only substantial record, so far, of this particular chapter in the history of the Middle West."

London Times Literary Supplement.

A very interesting letter is herewith acknowledged from Mr. George R. Harlow of the class of 1878 and father of our own Bill Harlow. Bill is still up in the Northwest— Portland, Oregon—and lives about twelve miles east of that city, associated with the Portland Gas and Coke Company. A sister Dorothy was recently married in Cleveland at the home of another sister, Mrs. Mabel Greenwood, wife of I. Greenwood of the class of 1907. The marriage ceremony was a regular Dartmouth reunion, and Bill has returned to Portland and his family of Mrs. Harlow and three children.

The once that your editor had a chance to see the New York Times pictorial section before the kiddies had it all apart was rewarded with a beautiful three-quarter-length rotogravure of Jim Erwin, posing as toastmaster in the testimonial dinner of the Jersey City Masonic Club to Jury Commissioner Harry D. Adair. We know it was Jim, even though they had his name James J. W.

A high light in week-ends was the twenty- sixth annual meeting of the Secretaries Association, held in Hanover on Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 3. The program consisted in an informal reception Friday afternoon at the home of President and Mrs. Hopkins, followed by a business session until the annual dinner that night at the Inn. After a Saturday morning business session the afternoon was spent in visiting the new Tuck School group of buildings, the new Carpenter Hall and Sanborn English house, followed by a round of golf on the always better Hilton Field of the Hanover Country Club. Any one single event is well worth the trip from anywhere to Hanover.

Mac Rollins' New York Club news has made such a "bachelor institution" out of our Randy Burns that we don't know how to break the news, but you have to know some- time—Randy is married. We had to have a title search and everything else made before we would believe it, but the facts are recorded —on Easter Sunday—with Jim and Mrs. Erwin to bear witness— to Miss Joyous E. Cripps—on Madison Avenue—in New York city. What a bachelor party this city of New York missed. The class of 1912 extends its congratulations and best wishes to Randy and Mrs. Burns.
