1894*

The writer of this column was decidedly interested in the deft way in which Brother Richardson 'oi filled his column last month. However, what are the rest of us to do under similar circumstances who have written no biography of William E. Chandler or any other book and therefore cannot descant at length on the frailties of the MAGAZINE in "relieving" said book.

Among the guarantors of the current Metropolitan Opera season in Boston are Mrs. Ira Gordon Colby and Philip S. Marden.

Mrs. Ashley Hardy spent the Christmas holidays in Boston and is now at the Hotel Putnam, DeLand, Florida for a two months' sojourn. Her sister is with her.

Recurring to the Round-Up on the eve of the Harvard game, Henry Hurd, who made more of a sacrifice to get there than anybody else, wrote afterward—"l feel as you do about our gatherings. If we had had no 1940 meeting the tendency to let the thing drop now that Matt is gone would have been irresistible. I am sorry Bug Allen was kept at home by business engagements because he was one of the standbys. Incidentally Bug is an excellent Chief justice and he has 3 years more to serve. I think we did well to get out 14 and I am mighty glad to have made the 14th. It is about all that we could expect under the circumstances and it was a thoroughly good meeting I think we should keep on, the night before the Harvard game, in getting together in Boston. Some of the boys will be getting around to the game every year."

Herbert Wilson expresses his regrets at not being present, as follows—"I shall think of you on the evening of October 25th and shall be with you in spirit. As the years slip along I feel more and more how great was my privilege to be a member of the class of '94 and as that appreciation grows upon me with it grows a deep and abiding affection for every single man in our class, dead or living. Perhaps I have been negligent about manifesting this affection and my loyalty to the class but however great has been my failure, all through the years the affection has been genuine and the loyalty sincere."
