Excerpts from letters concerning the passing of Warren Gregory, received too late for the May issue.

"He was a,loyal son of Dartmouth wholoved the College."—Dick. Rand 'BB. "I first met Greg at Cushing Academy in188} It was there that I first learnedof his great ability and his love of truth andaccuracy. In many respects I consider himone of the few really able men in ourclass. Coupled with his zeal for facts wasa romantic vein that made him lovable.Wherever he is, it will be a better placeby reason of his presence."—Livy 'BB.

Mrs. George F. Chandler and daughter, Lillian, are living at their old home in Strafford, where they will be glad to see any classmate who chances to be in their vicinity.

Livermore, Arthur L— Livy reports a pleasant visit with Spalding in Jacksonville late in March. His letter was written from Miami, hence we conclude that he spent the winter there as usual.

FIRST INSTALMENT OF THE 'BB BALANCE SHEET

The first report of the committee, now before the Secretary, is partiallist of the doings of Fred Pattee since June,1888."

He soon commenced to acquire degrees. Between 1891 and 1915 he received five degrees from American colleges and European universities, and is still quite modest Professor of American literature in State College, Pa., for 34 years, now professor emeritus.

Visiting professor of American literature at University of Illinois in 1923 and 1924.

Now active professor of American literature at Rollins College.

The above indicates his vocation for the first half century.

His other activities proved to be of the most interest to the committee.

The following partial list of his published works shows the stimulating effect of eight months each year spent in the classroom turmoil of a large state university while the remaining four months have been spent in the seclusion of his own "Sabine Farm" at Bristol, N. H.

And so we might continue if our editor were not space-conscious. The Secretary should ask for a special edition of the magazine if these "Balance Sheets" are to record fully the first half century of the class of 'BB.
