College is now in full swing, and your Secretary has a chance on football weekends to run into various classmates. This is always most pleasant, but this fall it has not netted much in the way of class notes except a list of names. Already I have seen Con and Grace Chellis, Cap and Esther Pierce, Bert and Ruth Rainie, Ransom and Edith Morse, Bob, Olive, Elizabeth, and Rogers Blood, and Art Chapin, who was giving his son Hugh (aged eleven) the thrill of a first visit to his dad's alma mater.

The present freshman class (can it be possible that it is really the class of 1941?) contains four sons of 1906; Nickerson Blood, Wallace B. Kingsbury, Robert C. Rainie, and Andrew J. Waring.

Here are a couple of changes of address for you to make in your class reports. Ralph Fitts sends in his business address as 586 Elm St., Manchester, N. H., and his residence as 559 Lincoln St. Guy Sickman is now living at 24 Rupert St., Springfield, Mass., with no change in his business address; he is still an engineer with Fred T. Ley and Cos., Inc., a position he has held for many years.

The Engineering News-Record for August 25 ran a photograph of four men, with the caption "They Ran the Surveying Conference." One of these four men was our own Fred Welch of Pullman, Wash. The conference referred to was one held by the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education on the teaching of surveying, and the committee was a special one in charge of the meeting.

Investigational Report No. 36, published recently by the Government Printing Office for the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Fisheries, was written by Arthur D. Holmes and four collaborators on the subject: "Vitamin Content of Oils from Cannery Trimmings of Salmon from the Columbia River and Puget Sound Regions." You can get a copy by sending a nickel to the Superintendent of Documents in Washington.

Bob Blood's daughter Elizabeth seems to have inherited some of her father's journalistic ability. A graduate of Wheaton College she has just been appointed director of publicity for Colby College for Girls in New London, N. H.
