The report of the 40th reunion in the July issue was somewhat hastily written and the rather remarkable record of attendance was, perhaps, not adequately stressed. It was, in fact, more satisfactory than that at any of our previous gatherings: very few were absent for whom attendance was at all possible and we were most happy to renew association with a number of men who, because of distance, are not usually able to attend our more informal gatherings. A printed report is in prospect, to be issued under the editorship of the Executive Committee during the coming year, to which suggestions of novel features are invited from any member of the class.

We are indebted to Harry Sampson for many attractive pictures of the reunion.

Clarence McDavitt has been successful in his quest for the addresses of widows of deceased members of the class, the large majority of which have been secured.

The following is from the Tabor Log. "The Trustees of the Academy have voted to name the new brick building HadleyHall, in honor of Augustus Andrew Hadley, Tabor, '96, Dartmouth, 1900, Tabor Trustee, 1915-1935. A bronze plaque to this effect will be fixed to the building. Mr. Hadley was a prominent supporter of youth in Marion, having spent many years on the local school board and having been one of the original scout leaders here. Local scouts recognize in the fine camp site at Mary's Pond the valuable effect of his services."

Philip G. Lewis, son of R. T. L., was graduated from the Massachusetts School of Osteopathy last June.

Charles and Mrs. Proctor spent the larger portion of their vacation as guests of their son, Charles, in the Yosemite Valley.

A long letter was received just before the reunion from Harry Richardson. He is happy and active in the Norristown State Hospital, in Pennsylvania.

John S. Gibson, son of Jasper, writes that he is employed in the Interior Decorating department of Jordan Marsh; that his brother, Robert, is manager of the collection department of the Webster and Atlas Bank; while his second brother, George, works for H. P. Hood and Company in the retail and lunch stores. Robert and George live with their mother at 8 Dalton St., Boston.

Harry Marshall informs us that his last two years in Burma, prior to retirement, are to be spent in preparing books in Karen for the use of the Baptist Theological Seminary in that country.
