1888*

From Gene Allard to Sam Nelson, the secretary's folder for this issue appears to be empty.

Pattee, Fred Lewis—Pat reports, by letter of Sept. 23d, that "it's eleven years since I retired from the English department of State College" and he is now beginning his eleventh year at Rollins College." (State College must feel some remorse because of its inflexible retirement rule.) Pat further reports that he and Mrs. Pattee have spent the summer pleasantly giving a course or two in the Summer School of Duke University, located high in the mountains of North Carolina. Cool and a fine summer resort.

Prof. Rugg of Baker Library reminds the Secretary that he should make some reference to an article from the pen of Dr. Pattee which appeared in the SouthAtlantic Quarterly April issue. A reprint of this scholarly article entitled "Constance Fenimore Woolson and the South" was received and mention was made of it in the May issue. Baker Library has placed a copy with their long list of published works of Fred Lewis Pattee of the Class of 1888.

Who says that a College Professor should retire at 65?

Whittemore, Mrs. Fred—Pat encloses a clipping from the Bristol, N. H., Enterprise which notes that Mrs. Whittemore has had as guests this summer, Mrs. Ralph Trovillian and her g sons. All who ate at the Whittemore Club during our 4 years will remember the "cunning" little girl who added so much to the joy of eating. Mrs. Trovillian (Fred's daughter) has one son a freshman while the other 2 boys (twins) are preparing for Dartmouth, so Whit has a grandson in Dartmouth and in due course will have 2 more.

In this connection please recall that Tick Harlow has a grandson in the sophomore class but it will be some years before John Lew and Doc Lougee are entered on this honor roll.

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
