CLASS OF 1899

Ninety-nine news has been pretty well bunched just recently, but it's mostly already got some publicity. There were the sudden deaths this winter of Walter Foss and Frank Musgrove. Then there was the Class Report, coming out just before the March round-up. During that same period Herbert Miller, former professor at Ohio State University, was declining the invitation of the Progressive party to run for governor of Ohio, and Charlie Donahue was half-reluctantly accepting the invitation of Governor Ely of Massachusetts to become a justice of the state Supreme Court. Next, in the April Undergraduate Number of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, Mott Sargeant's boy, Howland, senior fellow and Rhodes scholar elect, wrote a comprehensive survey of the college curriculum, while in the editorial column of the Boston Herald of March 30 appeared a pleasant comment "on the chatty friendliness of that recent '99 annual report, mentioned above. And now along comes Sam Smith from Windsor, Vt., to call on Bill Greenwood in Hartford, Conn., while on his way to take in the April reunion of the class with Joe Gannon and the rest in New York, and thus to make up for his miss- ing out on the Boston round-up in March.

Meanwhile, there's a bigger round-up still to remember, the one that Gus Heywood must sponsor, the one that means more to Dartmouth this year than it ever has meant. That's the Alumni Fund round-up. There are two marks to shoot at. There's the quota of dollars given, and there's the quota of fellows giving. Let's close up and make that second quota for certain, no matter how sourly Old Man Depression has treated us. How? Here's how: Though maybe you can't give what you would, Give anyhow!—Something!—What you can! Just treat home folks as a fellow should, And show your stuff as a Dartmouth man!
