Not Convicted

FRANK SULLIVAN, CORNELL '14, exposes Corey Ford in a communication to the editor in this issue. The applicant for special privileges in the Dartmouth alumni body now stands accused, but not convicted. More evidence is needed and he may give further testimony in his own behalf in future (we hope) instalments of "Our Own Class Notes."

We have recently learned that several Dartmouth classes of different vintages are approaching Mr. Ford with invitations to class dinners for the purpose of looking him over as a prospective member. By careful management of his schedule he would not need to buy any dinners until late spring when it will be time to come back to Freedom, N. H., for the fishing. By playing the field Corey Ford could spend a pleasant winter (if he likes chicken and green peas) touring alumni centers.

When one adds the banquets and luncheons of all the other institutions to which Mr. Sullivan claims Corey seeks admission the thing may go on indefinitely. Westbrook Pegler ought to look into this racket.

Meanwhile we are confident of our star correspondent's ability to take care of himself. Mr. Ford's word pictures are painted with great clarity. On a fishing trip to Alaska last summer he sent back a card saying: "The rainbow trout I amcatching up here are so big I can't lie aboutthem."
