1904*

For many years it has been convenient to have business in Boston at the time of the Boston Alumni Dinner and it was my privilege to follow this custom on February fourth. Our group was small but it was a real satisfaction to find Matt Bullock, Pete Maguire, Perce Hobbs, and Robbie sharing a table with other members of the College family. These fellows had an advantage in years, but health-enthusiasminterest in the College and each other, and a lack of bald heads were positive factors on the 1904 side of the table. Carl, as head of the athletic council, had the privilege of presenting to the group, Tuss Mac-Laughrey, as the worthy successor to Earl Blaik, in football affairs. Carl gave us an idea of the task the Council had in the resignation of the old coaching staff, paid a fine tribute to Blaik and his associates, and in presenting the new football administrator, gave a brief resume of his success at Amherst and Brown. The enthusiasm of the assembled hundreds of Alumni was so great that MacLaughrey was kept standing for several minutes by applause, football songs, and wah-who-wahs before he could reply to Carl's introduction. Carl and his associates on the Athletic Council gave many days of travel, investigation and discussion to this unexpected College problem and we register here our understanding appreciation for this service to the College.

It has been my good fortune to visit Hanover several times since the first of the year and the constantly recurring thought on each visit is how much those of you who come infrequently, or not at all, are missing. It's a great panacea for both real and imagined overloads and disappointments. Try it.

You will enjoy this letter from Murray Parker—"For many years I have travelled all over the United States and have had only such slight contacts with Dartmouth men as could be made in my journeys. However, I have never lost interest in the associations which were formed forty years ago, and have always reestablished my Dartmouth contacts whenever the occasion permitted. While I still consider my residence as Columbus, Ohio, where I made my headquarters for thirty-five years, I am spending the winter with my family at the Ambassador Hotel in Cambridge. My office is at 131 Clarendon Street, Boston, and any time that I am in the City, I shall be most happy to see any of my Dartmouth friends. A card which I have just received announces a Dartmouth Dinner at the Copley Plaza tonight, and I have just called Ralph Sexton to express my regrets at not being able to attend, because I am obliged to leave for Chicago on an afternoon train. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in mentioning me in your report, and if we do not meet before that time, it is likely that you may receive a call from me when I drive to Littleton in the Spring. I have always kept the New Hampshire home in which I was born, and my family enjoys the time they are able to spend there as much as I did in the days of my youth." Murray is President of Benj. H. Sanborn & Cos., Educational Publishers at 131 Clarendon Street, Boston.

It was a pleasure for many of us in New England to see in the Boston Herald of February 12 th, the familiar face of our good Dominie, Tubbs. Charlie was a member of the official delegation from the Episcopal Diocese of Maine to notify Rev. Oliver L. Loring, Rector of Grace Episcopal Church of New Bedford, Mass., of his elevation as Bishop of the Maine Diocese. I have been told that Tubb's influence since becoming Rector of Grace Church at Bath, Maine, has been a substantial positive factor for better conditions in that section of the State.

Those who have known of Bob Moseley's recent and severe illness will be glad to know that he is now sitting up and expects to be on deck with the arrival of spring.
