Mr. Edgerton, through astute management of finances and aided by the Trustee investment committee of Messrs. McLane '07, chairman, Hopkins '01, Little '81, and Cutter '03, has brought the College through bad times that have constantly threatened to undermine its resources in a most serious manner. The principle of reduction of all possible expense without sacrificing effectiveness which was put into operation some years ago is still in force. Although every single branch of official activity does not show a record that leaves nothing to be desired, the fact is that the net result, when the books were finally closed, was excellent. Alumni can say nothing except in praise of Mr. Edgerton's administration of finances.

ABE WINSLOW '20 of San Francisco, one of the very best Dartmouth club secretaries, sends in the following item taken from a letter written by Elmer Robinson '14:

"I think you should know the perfecttribute to your Alma Mater.

"Chris, John, Jimmy and Dad drove upto Hanover to spend a few days this week.We saw every foot of it—and everybodywas thrilled. Down on the athletic fieldthe men were manicuring the grass and thegravel so that it looked like an advertisement for lawn seed or lawn mowers orperhaps velvet. Jimmy was chewing gumand very noisly—so I sternly asked him tospit it out. He looked all around at thatclosely clipped, immaculate lawn, thecinders of the track—all in the shiningmorning sun—and then said, 'Dad there'sno place to spit it.'

"So, Abe, the college carries on in theimmaculate traditioyi—as it should."
