"Dear Doctor:
"As a member of your committee on bigger and better reunions from the Codfish area, I feel that as a Doctor I can take you into my most intimate thoughts on the above-mentioned subject, and that you will do as Parson Aldrich is supposed to do, that is select between good and evil and just good. Being here in the "hot" area where you can land in Hanover in an hour (God willing) in one of Johnny Wheelock's planes or drive up with Sunny Sanborn in an hour and a half, I feel that we will have to use the whip on the old hoss to see if we can't get all our group to Hanover in June.
"To continue with cold clear facts as I have started, please take these suggestions and rend them from each other. A get-together every month, the first to be the annual Dartmouth dinner in January at the Costly Pleasure Hotel; the second in February at the University Club, similar to the pre-D. vs. H. football teas at which the Delta Tau Delta twins pour so well; the third to be in March, an affair on a Saturday afternoon (the program for which will be a secret except that drinking will be optional—l mean beer, wine, rye, scotch, gin, rum, or water). In the month of April, which is wet enough anyway, I would include a "ladies only" party (spirit to come from the inside only), so that they may either prepare for a grand accompaniment or solo work in June. Also a men's dinner in April a la February. In the month of May I suggest an outing, stag or with the deers, and what an outing! Did you ever taste a starry-eyed nightingale (well neither did I)? To get really serious about the whole thing, you see it adds up to about six minor objectives all heading toward the major objective of getting as many as possible of all ages and sexes to arrive at Hanover for the TREMENDOUS TWENTIETH for the whole time or any part of the time. All these enterprises will be self-supporting as far as the class goes.
"There is a lot more that I could say, but already having said so little in writing so much I shall end with the usual formal salutation of
"The Same To You, "GEORGE."

News jottings from Towler: Having lunch the other day with Chuck Norby, I learned that he is Eastern district sales agent for the Thrush Company of Peru, Ind. and is responsible for a staff of men promoting hot water heating specialties to architects, builders, and plumbers, with the distribution through large heating equipment manufacturers such as American Radiator, Crane, etc. For the past two years Chuck has been living in Greenwich, Conn., and he told me that the one special feature of his bachelor quarters is his new grand piano, and he further promises old campus tunes for any member of the class who will drop in to see him there (See Greenwich telephone book) When we read the newspaper story of Sumner Emerson's appointment to the vice presidency of Morgan, Stanley & Company, Inc., 2 Wall St., we thought Philadelphia's loss was New York's gain until Sumner told us that he is spending his week-ends at home in St. Davids, Pa., where he will do his bit towards rounding up the Philadelphia men for reunion, but will also be available evenings for class meetings in New York Al Shiels reports from Los Angeles that he is anxious to start writing letters to members of the class in his section, which we might add is quite a section! (Note: Al's traveling territory includes California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and part of Texas. Why not use the telephone, Al, and save some postage!)
