Alumni and Faculty

WE ARE ALL on the nostalgic side in recalling favorite teachers of our day in College, many of whom are gone. We'd like to welcome Charlie Lingley to an alumni meeting in his honor. We'd give "Charlie D." Adams a rousing Wah-Hoo- Wah, and the same for "Bubby" Bartlett. It is even too late now to invite Franklin McDuffee to read poetry to Dartmouth men, to sing the immortal lines of Hovey, or his own Dartmouth Undying. Great figures of the past, we would turn out to hear them talk on any subject of their choosing. But others take their places in the procession of generations that forms the life of the College. There is still plenty 0£ time to honor and meet with our generation of leaders on the teaching staff. Dartmouth will be stronger, and its satisfactions richer, if alumni and faculty seek more opportunities to know each other.

SOMEHOW THE ABOVE will not make sense to readers who note the communication included in "Letters to the Editor" this month. The complaint of lack of cooperation by members of the faculty, in answering requests of alumni for information, is in our opinion an exceptional case. The writer of the letter generously concludes that nine out of ten letters addressed ]to Hanover would be answered. We would have guessed ten out of ten, and hope that figure is not too confident a one for the future.
