1892

October 6, and I awake to the fact that the Alumni notes are due on the tenth and I haven't an item in the desk drawer devoted to '92 matters, or in my head. The dozen (I am afraid no more) of the Class who subscribe to the MAGAZINE must not look in vain for '92 notes, so I am sending these few musings in place of what ought to be interesting information.

The fact that I have no real news is a cheerful note in one way. If the Boston Bar Association had presented charges against Bert Holland; if Geig's students had struck against having to attend lectures; or if Billy Earl has finally been arrested and fined for speeding in Lexington, I should undoubtedly have heard of it. Evidently the 'g2ers must be conducting themselves with due propriety—as usual.

We should be grateful, too, that the summer has not brought any break in the class numbers nor any serious illness so far as I know. We are learning to take good care of ourselves and to "be our age." This leads to a certain placidity in our lives which may make us believe we are not doing anything which would be of interest to our classmates. Not so, not so. If we are acting less we may be thinking more and these ripened judgments of your maturer years would be welcomed, I am sure. If you haven't any new grandchildren to add to our roster tell us how to retire gracefully, you who have retired. We'll all be doing it soon.
