To the Editor:

I was very much interested in your description of the work of Dr. Richard P. White, Dartmouth '18, in the last issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. However, you have not brought his record to date as he is now Executive Secretary of the American Association of Nurserymen with head- quarters at Washington, D. C., a position which carries with it great responsibilities and for which those of us who have known Dick intimately feel that he is eminently qualified.

It has been my great pleasure to have been particularly intimate with Dr. White during the last decade as my work with the Bartlett Tree Expert Company has carried with it certain associations such as President of the National Arborists Association and as a member of the Executive Board of the National Shade Tree Conference which caused me to be in close touch with him.

He has two great qualifications which I believe will carry him a long way, namely, idealism and ability. His ability is broad. It extends not only into research but he seems to possess administrative and executive talent. In addition to this Dick is a good Dartmouth man.

Reassurance to '35

To the Editor:

I was surprised when, through a typographical error, the Department of State Press Releases assigned me to the class of 1929, but I was horrified to find that you had not only followed them in the same mistake, but hung an editorial on the increasing age of men in the Foreign Service.

I'm afraid that the class of 1935 will have to continue to assume responsibility for whatever credit or discredit I may reflect on the college. Incidentally, since graduation I have been doing graduate work at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, instead of at Harvard; as stated in the Press Release.

I hope this note will prevent a search by '29ers for their unknown classmate.
