The Board of Governors of the Dartmouth Club of New York showed unusual farsightedness recently in naming Ned Redman general manager of the club. Ned brings to the club worthwhile knowledge gained from years of experience in club matters, which will prove very valuable to it. Ned's enthusiastic, unselfish devotion to anything connected with Dartmouth makes him a very happy choice. The club headquarters in the future should be a mecca for the men of the class.

A recent issue of the Keene, New Hampshire, Evening Sentinel carries scare headlines over a column devoted to Charlie Crane's speech in that city on Rudyard Kipling, a quotation from which follows:

"Men and women of the First Congregational church were carried almost on a 'magic carpet' from the busy everyday while of commonplace life, to a new world of literary thought, Wednesday night, at the annual gentlemen's night of the Women's society, when Charles Edward Crane of Montpelier, Vt., author of 'Let Me Show You Vermont,' scanned the highlights of the life of Mr. and Mrs. Rudyard Kipling, with particular reference to their approximate four years residence in Brattleboro, Vt.

"Mr. Crane presented an intimate picture of both Mr. and Mrs. Kipling from many years of study and research, and even the most ardent Kipling enthusiasts learned much from the speaker's presentation, including as it did a rich background of geography, history, biography, genealogy, cleverly interspersed with verses of wit which Mr. Crane in his humor referred to as 'fatal wiles,' 'cruel flashes,' 'grim little slams,' etc."

The sympathy of the class goes to Everett Clark of the Massachusetts Department of Education, whose wife Dorothy recently passed away after a long illness, jyfrs Clark was born in London, England, where her father was a well known symphony conductor. She herself was very talented and directed and participated in many amateur musical functions in this country. She leaves, besides Everett, a son john who lives in Brattleboro, Vermont, and a daughter Jane who is a junior at Mt. Holyoke College.

Eric Kelly has been appointed director of the National Commission for Polish Relief. He has been touring New England raising funds to help, particularly professors and students interned in prison camps or in exile. As Eric says in a very appealing plea which appeared in the Daily Dartmouth:

"The havoc worked upon Polish culture which I consider among the finest cultures of the world was deplorable. President Hopkins spoke of it in his recent speech in New York. The closing of universities, the removal of professors from all faculties, the deaths among them,- artists, musicians, and students has been deplorable. A widespread attempt to destroy one of the oldest cultures in the world has been met by protests from most of the learned societies of this country, prominent men, educators, and in some cases student bodies."

In addition to enlisting support from college groups, women's clubs and other organizations, Eric is making as his contribution a portion of his salary, his royalties from his books and his fees from speeches which he is delivering all over the nation. He will welcome your support.

King Benton, reflecting the energy and spirit of the great outdoors which has come from his years on his apple ranch in Hood River, Oregon, came into our office the other day. He looked almost as natural as he used to when he used to sprint across the campus and just make chapel before the doors were closed. King had visited his old home town of Peoria, where Ned Oakford, the class poet and philosopher still resides, but in spite of the home town ties, he was anxious to get back to his ranch. King sees Leigh Martin every now and then and reports that he has maintained his standing as one of Portland's leading businessmen. King- is very much wrapped up in his youngster who has completed his education and is now connected with the Tacoma office of the Automatic Canteen Company.

Ned French's well known Boston and Maine recently gave a "Fifty-Year Commuters' Dinner" to those who had regularly patronized his railroad for that period of time. Charlie Main's father, who started commuting on the Boston and Maine Railroad in 187 a when he was a freshman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and who has kept up the custom, was honored as being the secondlongest known commuter on that occasion. It won't be many years before our own Charlie will be eligible to membership in the group if he continues to commute to Winchester.
