1927*
Football is very much in the air as we sit down to grind out this column, and we are looking forward to seeing many of you at the Columbia, Yale, Harvard and Princeton games. Since Dame Fortune and the necessity of earning a living will not permit our presence at many happy '27 Reunions during the coming season, won't some kind reporter send us complete details of all such.

Dr. Thomas Hale Ham, one of our Medtcos who devotes most of his talents to research and instruction in medicine, has recently broken into print.

Another article by the same author, Studies on Destruction of Red Blood Cells, appeared in PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY, 1940.
tetter from Charlie Gibson prompts us to coin or rather adapt a phrase. "Work for the kendall Company and See America." charlie's record of progress with that concern starts, to the best of our recollection, in south Carolina and then takes him to Chicago, Shelburne Falls, New Bedford, Turners Falls, Mass., and now to Pelzer, South Carolina, where he was transferred last July. Pelzer is a town of about 3,000, having two Kendall mills employing about 1500 persons and manufacturing about a million pounds a month of rayons, cotton sheets, bedspreads, broadcloth, poplins and print cloth. Charlie has charge of the manufacturing at the two mills and is assistant to the General Manager of the Pelzer Division of the Kendall Cos.

We stick to our declaration, made last week, that this Dartmouth grad and resident of Riverdale Manor for most of his life will be a valuable addition to the faculty."

We have just talked with our long-suffering treasurer, Gus, by telephone, and he tells us to say "Hello," and report that the checks for class dues and the MAGAZINE are coming in good, but that we still need a lot more to keep us out of the red and assure success in the 100% subscription plan. So if you haven't already done it, $3.50 is the amount, and an envelope addressed to Harry B. Cummings, Waban, Mass., will get there all right. And while you have your pen in hand you might find a minute to drop us a line with a little news.
Secretary, 152 Waban Ave., Waban, Mass. Treasurer, 244 Dorset Rd., Waban, Mass.
