Tuck Issue

The next number of the MAGAZINE, that for June, will be devoted in its feature section to biographical articles treating the life of Edward Tuck '62. This special issue is dedicated to Mr. Tuck in celebration of the 70th anniversary of his graduation from Dartmouth. In addition to the biographical articles the number will include the usual news, editorial and class notes sections.

Dr. Horatio S. Krans, director of the American University Union in Paris, is the author of a comprehensive biographical sketch descriptive of Mr. and Mrs. Tuck's lives and their many good works. It will be well illustrated by personal photographs of the Tucks borrowed from the family collection. The Dartmouth connections which Mr. Tuck has had during the administrations of six presidents of the College will be treated by Professor R. R. Larmon of the Dartmouth faculty. Dr. Krans' story being a general biographical sketch, his emphasis is placed on Mr. Tuck's activity as a resident in Paris. Mr. Larmon's article will present only the story of Mr. Tuck's life as it has touched upon Dartmouth through his intimate association particularly with Dr. Tucker and President Hopkins and his many gifts for which he is justly called "Dartmouth's greatest benefactor."

ALUMNI FUND SETS PACE The Alumni Fund campaign, which opened April 5 when "The President's Message" was mailed to all of the alumni, will go into its second month with records slightly ahead of those at the equivalent time in last year's campaign, according to indications at the time the Magazine goes to press. The second general mailing piece from the Alumni Fund Committee will be sent on May 3 to the contributors who have indicated a wish to receive the Fund literature and to all alumni who have not yet contributed this year. It will be illustrated with a new drawing of a Baker Library group com- position by Jens Fredrick Larson, the College architect. "The President's Message," sent out by the Alumni Fund Committee to open this year's campaign, was an abstract of remarks by President Hopkins to class agents of the Fund at meetings in New York and Boston prior to the launching of the campaign. The Message was a full statement of the present position of the College, and answered the many ques- tions that have been asked with regard to the policies which the trustees have out- lined to follow during the unusual stress of current general economic conditions. It defines the obligations of the College to the undergraduates, the faculty, and the alumni, as well as its obligations to society, during such times as the present; and it gives as background the position taken by the College during previous times of stress in its history. Extra copies may be obtained from the Fund secre- tary in Hanover. William J. Minsch 'O7, of New York, is chairman of the Alumni Fund commit- tee, appointed by the Alumni Council for his second year of service. The commit- tee is composed of Philip S. Marden '94, of Lowell, Massachusetts; George H. Howard 'O7, of New York; John W. Pear- son 'll, of Concord, New Hampshire; John R. Burleigh 'l4, of Boston; and Albert I. Dickerson '3O, the secretary of the Fund at Hanover. The quota, set by the Alumni Council, is $135,000.
