Herb Hinman "couldn't be without the ALUMNI MAGAZINE" and sends his check. "I am sorry (writes Herb) that with the wealth of fine football teams in the South, Dartmouth picked poor little HampdenSydney for her third game. The school is one of the smallest in the South and it is interesting to note she played Dartmouth hard as long as her boys held out in numbers I am going up to the Navy game Saturday with one of my daughters and hope our team shows us a good time."
Leon Sprague of New Britain, Conn.— "How are you? Hear from you at least once a year. Things fine here. Son Harold, Dartmouth '3B, now located with General Motors, Detroit. Daughter Harriett, married, in New Bedford. One fine grand-daughter. Mother and I still going strong, trying to adjust ourselves to a small family again."
The Secretary-Treasurer acknowledges with sincere appreciation greetings (and checks) from Rip Heneage, John Piper, Tute Worthen, Professor Ted Glattfeld, Deke Leighton and others.
"Enclosed find check Went to the San Francisco Fair with my family this summer, up the coast, and through the Canadian Rockies. At Seattle Sam Barnes and wife came to see us at the hotel and we had a fine visit with them. Sam had just come back from a fishing trip with several Seattle nabobs"—Cully Pierce.
"Although two distaff members of my family frequented the allegedly sacred precincts of Mount Holyoke for some six or seven years, it was not until this fall that a sword member of the second generation appeared in Hanover as a verdant freshman. Bob Stokes 1943, if you please (and God. and the faculty). No other torchbearer for 1907 on the campus this year, to my knowledge. The obituary notice on Floyd Tangier Smith in the current Alumni Monthly recalls to mind a charming, erratic freshman, who roomed in the smallest, coldest and barest room in grimy old Hallgarten back in the spring of 1904. Harder up than any of us. Yet, more than once, he chose to roll his cigarettes from old butts tossed on the bare floor behind the radiator (when he was affluent enough to buy a bag of 'Duke's Mixture') rather than ask a neighbor for the makings. Always a lovable vagabond: it is not strange that he wandered in cold Thibet.". .. .Bob Stokes.

Here's the interesting story promised you last month about Bill Smart's wedding and wedding trip:
"For your information, and through you for the information of other classmates, I was married on July 29th to Mrs. Ruth Hedgcock Bidle of Cambridge. The wedding took place in the First Unitarian Church in Belmont.
"Immediately after the wedding we had a luncheon at the Copley-Plaza with a very few friends, and then left for a four weeks' trip to California, the Northwest, and Canadian Rockies.
"We stopped a day or so in Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City. We spent four days and five nights in San Francisco at Hotel Fairmont. While in San Francisco we did the Fair on Treasure Island quite thoroughly. We saw Muir Woods (the Redwoods), and also went down to Palo Alto to look over Stanford University. I was anxious to see Stanford, especially the scene of last fall's glorious game between Dartmouth and Stanford. While in San Francisco I called to see Bill Garby. I found him located in the Mills Building with a private office in a firm of lawyers. He told me he is at the head of a bill collect-ion agency, although he is not a member of the bar. It certainly was nice to see Bill as I had not seen him since June 1907. He hasn't been married for a good many years. He seemed prosperous and was keenly interested in hearing all about classmates and Dartmouth affairs in general.
"When we arrived at the New Washington Hotel in Seattle, there was a note to call Sam Barnes at his home and I lost no time in getting Sam on the line. It was grand to hear his cheery voice of welcome to the 'grandest city in the world.' The next day Sam had me for lunch at the Ranier Club. After lunch Mrs. Barnes took Mrs. Smart and me in Sam's Buick on a personally conducted tour of Seattle and suburbs, including Washington University. In the evening we all had dinner together in the city. Next day Sam took us to Ranier National Park and to sunrise on the eastern slope of Mt. Ranier. This was a most fascinating ride through big Douglas Fir forests leading to a grand view of ice and snow-covered Ranier Mountain. The Barnes, including their two lovely daughters Barbara and Sally, did everything possible to make our stay in Seattle enjoyable. Before leaving Seattle I phoned Phil Richardson, Dartmouth 1907. Had a long visit with him on the phone. He has a nice family, wife and children, and seemed very happy to hear from me. He asked to be remembered to all 'O7 men. Although he has never returned to Hanover since he left in June 1907, he hopes to get back to our next reunion.
"After leaving Seattle we proceeded to the Canadian Rockies, via Puget Sound, Victoria and Vancouver. We remained at Lake Louise and Banff Springs about a week. Then back to Chicago, Indianapolis, and home.
"In June I purchased a house located at 11 Dorset Road, Belmont, to which we went on our return to Boston. Mrs. Smart is already a very loyal, enthusiastic Dartmouth supporter. We want all our friends, especially all 1907 classmates, to come to see us in our new home. Everybody welcome!"— Bill Smart.
The death of our classmate, Dr. John J. Mulvanity, in Nashua, N. H. was reported early in September. A brief obituary notice appeared in the October issue of the MAGAZINE. The sympathy of the Class has been sent to the family.
