Baltimore

FOR THE FIRST time in several years the Baltimore Club arranged a vacation luncheon meeting, between Christmas and New Year's, and we were much pleased with the result. A majority of the Baltimore undergraduates (seven), seventeen alumni, and four guests surrounded a long table in the Merchants Club and thoroughly enjoyed a good lunch and a good talk. Then President Jack Thompson called for informal remarks from Raymond Pearl '99. He told us of his recent trip abroad to deliver a course of lectures at the University of London, and of his unexpected and delightful reunion there with Fletcher Harper Swift '98 (Swift reports on this reunion in the '98 notes of the January ALUMNI MAGAZINE). Sidney Lansburgh '37 told us of the large number of his classmates located in the Boston area, and of the simultaneous zone-reunions held by the class in November. Clark Barrett '38, called on for news from Hanover, gave us an interesting account of recent doings in the College and changes in the town, and answered a number of questions from across the table. This sort of a meeting seems likely to be repeated.
