1906*

Charlie Crane, the most prolific author in the class, is getting together a great deal of material for the purpose of writing a new book on Florida. Charlie, with his usual thoroughness, is now planning on spending considerable time in Florida for the purpose of becoming thoroughly acquainted with the state and its people. We hope that Charlie may share some of the great success which has come to the most outstanding author in the class—Eric P. Kelly. Incidentally, it is about time for Eric to announce the title of a new book on which we understand he has been working for sometime.

The rotogravure sections of many of the country's newspapers show pictures of the prize-winning snow statue of Eleazar Wheelock, which dominated the various other exhibits at the Winter Carnival. This statue, which stood 37 feet high, was designed by Richard Brooks, son of our own Gott Brooks of Gloucester, Mass. We wonder if Gott's famous adhesive, LePage's Glue, was used to hold this work of art together.

The annual New England Regional Meeting of the Federated Garden Clubs will be held at New London on Friday, April 28. The attractive program indicates that Mrs. Malcolm J. Edgerton, president of the Connecticut Federation, will give the greeting to the members. The flower gardens at her home have for many years been noted for their exquisite beauty. Malcolm, or Mike—which is the garden variety of the name under which he goesis not the least of the charming specimens found in her delightful gardens.

Bill Gardiner, who has left a train of well-built railroads and power plant projects all over the North American continent, has left Seattle, where as manager of the western office of Winston Bros. Company he has made his headquarters for several years. While there he completed one of America's largest and most famous projects —the Snoqualmie Falls Dam. Bill recently packed all his possessions and headed for old familiar haunts in South America, where he is investigating the practicability of a very extensive proposed engineering feat.

Harry Higman, who keeps in touch with his old friend Harold Rugg, has just written him that his son Chet is now teaching in the Business Department of the University of Washington. When we saw Harry in Seattle last summer he didn't appear any older than his son, so he may be able to substitute for Chet without the knowledge of the faculty when the boy wants to climb a few of those western mountains, as is his custom. Harry and Harold are both interested in Alpine wild flowers—each trying to surpass the other in the number as well as rarity of the specimens which they collect. This very interesting race between these two arden followers of Gray and Linn 6 is very close and will probably end in a dead heat.

When Joe Nuelle was promoted to the presidency of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad, many of the skeptics did not believe he could successfully fill the place occupied so ably by the distinguished dean of American railroad presidents—L. F. Loree. Joe, however, has repeated Ned French's memorable performance, and apparently is doing even a more creditable job than did his famous predecessor. Both Joe and Ned have brought great distinction to themselves as well as honor to the class, and they have done so modestly and unobtrusively. The class and the college are to be congratulated on having such men among the active alumni.
