The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Washington, D. C., in arranging a program for its celebration of Dartmouth Night, March 9, announced that "our guest of honor is to be Mr. Henry P. Blair, who is celebrating his 50th year since graduation." Doubtless a full report will be found either in this issue of the MAGAZINE or the next.

Harry Frost, who is spending the winter in Gulfport, Fla., wrote March 5 that he, with his wife and daughter, attended the recent annual meeting of the Florida Alumni Association at St. Petersburg. dently this association is an active one, and its annual meetings, judging from all reports, are real events.

It is not "news" when the youngest member of our class retires because he has reached the age at which retirement becomes compulsory in his organization? On February 7, Burt Redfield celebrated two major events, his 70th birthday and the termination of 41 years of service in the post office in Dover, N. H. For the last 22 years he was assistant postmaster, holding an office which involves certain opportunities, privileges, responsibilities, rightsand much hard work. That Burt has done all that was required, and more, during the two score years, we have no doubt A dinner was given by his associates and a few invited guests, a total of about fifty, on the evening of February 7. Only two of the staff were absent, both because of illness.

... .An editorial in the local paper referred to "the unfailing courtesy of Assistant Postmaster Burt Redfield, indicative of the high standards of the entire force," and ended with this sentence, "Mr. Redfield has been a genuine asset to the post office and is a citizen of whom Dover is justly proud. May he enjoy many happy years."

In the March issue the Secretary reported that he had heard from 15 classmates within a month. The last month's record is even better, 17 have written. Plans for the reunion are progressing. 20 have signified their intention of coming. Others will join us.
