Ed Meleney of Vanderbilt University (Nashville, Tenn.):—

"I have been teaching in VanderbiltMedical School since I returned from Chinain 1927- My family is intact, and my twoboys, 14 and 12, are beginning to thinkabout college. We have had several briefvisits to Hanover during summer vacationsand love the old town as much as ever." Ed expects to be back for reunion, coming to Hanover from the meeting of the American Medical Association in Cleveland early in June.

Arthur Hadden has retired as head of the engineering and accounting firm of Hadden, Rabbe, Runzheimer, & Swisher, cost accountants for the wirebound industry, and has joined the staff of Cleats, published periodically by Wirebound Box Manufacturers Association of III West Washington St., Chicago. He will be concerned principally with wirebound box cost and compliance problems. Art was one of the members of the cost committee of the Association engaged in fixing minimum prices and otherwise for the Association under the code, and has spent much time in Washington in this connection. The committee secured approval of their application for cost protection prices under a uniform method of estimating and cost finding, a rather remarkable achievement under the circumstances.

Moffatt startled Joe Worthen and myself by calling on us early in April. I had thought of him as bravely enduring the heat of India and growing old striving with multicolored assistants to handle the nine million dollars or so of property that he has in charge for the Methodist Board of foreign Missions, and that as a result he would be gray and drawn. On the contrary, he looks much as he did in college and evidently enjoys his work. He travels about one-half the time and is most up-to-date in his work. After visiting his daughter at Willamette College in Salem, Oregon, he is planning to spend the month of June in New York revamping his system of management, but will be back at reunion. He doesn't go back to India until November, and can be reached through the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, 150 Fifth Ave., New York City.
