Miss McLane is a Sophomore at Smith College and Mr. Bradley is a recent graduate of Dartmouth. As an undergraduate he captained the ski team and was an outstanding intercollegiate competitor.
A brief note from Rube Prichard in early December reported that he was suffering from a fractured arm. Rube is now Professor Prichard and lives in Fayetteville, N. Y.
Sherwood C. Martin, son of Arthur C. Martin '07, non-graduate, is a member of the Freshman Class. His name was inadvertently omitted from the list published heretofore. Our classmate makes his home in Pittsburgh, Pa. and will be remembered as Pete Martin. Perhaps the Secretary can get a story out of him now that he is again actively connected with the college through his son.
Willard Cummings Jr. is one of a group of portrait painters whose work is reproduced in the Christmas issue of Town andCountry. Young Bill's exhibit was a portrait of the actress Katharine Cornell.

Jack Hart writes from Racine, Wisconsin I thoroughly enjoy the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and as I still have three bucks leftafter the Christmas onslaught, there is noaood reason why I shouldn't send it along. ....Does this suggest anything to anybody?
THAT DINNER IN PARIS
Arthur Leavitt writes as follows:
"They say that a fondness for reminiscing is an indication of advancing years, and in spite of graying hair and other infirmities, I have been holding out against this. But your mention in the last ALUMNI MAGAZINE of George Liscomb's report on a Dartmouth 1907 dinner in Paris in 1918 has made me think back to try to recall what happened. The only written record I have of it is this single line in my diary under the date of December 28, 1918: 'Dartmouth Dinner at Cafe Cardinal—53 men.'
"I believe that this is the same occasion to which George Liscomb refers and that it was not a 'diner intime' of the class of 1907 but a meeting of all Dartmouth men who happened to turn up in Paris. In addition to the men mentioned in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, I remember that Sam Bartlett, then a captain, and 'Wallie' Ross '08, were also there. I also remember seeing O. C. Davis, Johnny Burtch '06, 'Pete' Carnes '09, and Glattfield '08 (this must be our own John William Edward Glattfeld alias Ted, now University of Chicago professor), in Paris at about that time. Some or all of these men may have been at the dinner. 'Gig' Gallagher was the life of the party, as he had been on so many occasions on the college campus, and made an impassioned after-dinner speech on pa- triotism.
"Among the Dartmouth men whom we saw most frequently at our apartment in the Rue de Chaillot was Bailey Emery '16, and sometimes with him Chipman and another contemporary of theirs, all of whom had been driving French" ambulances. Early in December of the same year I had run across Lt. Phil Murdock '17, at Nantes one evening just before he was about to sail for home from St. Nazaire.
"The American home where all Dartmouth men felt there was a cordial welcome for them whenever they happened to be in Paris during the war was that of Dr. and Mrs. Lines. I remember that my wife and I went there on many a Sunday afternoon and always found not only a cup of tea and friendly conversation but also a group of Dartmouth men who had happened to stray in."
