The Secretary had the pleasure of a pleasant call on Mrs. Wm. P. Ladd, D. D„ at the home in New Haven. She said that on Tune 14 Dr. and Mrs. Ladd, John and Edmund, students in Harvard, and Penelope are sailing for England to spend the summer months. The youngest child, Persis, is already in Germany, but will return around Christmas. The Ladds will leave Penelope in England for the following year.

Many of the class win remember that Frank W. Plummer carried on quite a shoe business, at least during his freshman year, as the Hanover adjunct of the Plummer' shoe store on Hanover St., Boston, owned by his father, Selwyn B. Plummer, whose death in his 91st year occurred recently at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elmer L. Mac Donald, in Maiden, Mass.

A letter under date of March 7 from Sidney G. Walker in Hawaii says: "Mrs.Walker is still back East but expects to return sometime early in the summer, andthe rest of us are getting along as well ascan be in her absence." Walker also writes: "The Islands as a whole have staged agreat comeback, due to the increase in price.of sugar, which is the backbone of industryhere; the large influx of tourists, makingthis season comparable with the years '28and '29; the activities of the Army andNavy in the way of an elaborate construction program with a considerable increasein personnel, much of which income enters the business stream here; and the rebirth of the pineapple industry, followingthe sudden slump in the market for theirproducts, which naturally come after actual necessaries of life during times ofstress."
