Sully's address is changed to 455 Ft. Washington Ave., New York, c/o Mrs. Thomas H. Sturges.

Harlow says he is not very strong but can still take care of himself. As our only Civil Engineer he takes pride in the fact that two sons and a grandson follow in his wake. William H. '12, is plant engineer of the Oregon Ship Building Cos., of Portland, which has a contract for the building of thirty-two ships and a storage basin. George Jr., is on the engineering staff of the Ravenna (Ohio) Munition Plant. The grandson, J. K. Greenwood Jr., a junior in Case Scientific School, is author of an editorial in Case Tech entitled "The Nation Needs Engineers To Speed Up Production, Not To Fill Up Army Posts."

The invitation extended in this column of the March MAGAZINE to tell us of conditions on admission to College has brought enough response to suggest the founding of an Honorary Society of The Conditioned. Parkhurst's story was told in the fine sketch of his career in the March number. He was conditioned in Greek. So were three of the four antique secretaries photographed together at Secretaries' Meeting. Only one of the three was conscientious enough to remind the tutor to examine him. Under those circumstances the test naturally was not severe. The other two escaped.

Bouton, altho already examined and admitted was prevented by ill health from entering with the class, and entered as a sophomore conditioned in Trigonometry. He tells an interesting story which illustrates a phase of the relations between faculty and students not too well known among the traditions of those early days. Having enough to do with the work of present studies, he allowed the shadow of that condition to hang over him until Senior year. On going home for Thanksgiving he told his roommate, Stickney, that as soon as he got back he was going to study up on Trig and see if he could get rid of the condition. Stickney could not go home, and was invited to Thanksgiving dinner at Prof. Quimby's. Talking over various students the Professor mentioned Bouton, whereupon Stikney remarked that Bouton was squirming over that conditions, and was going to study up for it. Quimby made no comment. But later when Stickney was taking leave at the door, the Professor said, "I would like you to inform Bouton that he is all through Mathematics under me."

This story of thoughtfulness for a student stranded at Thanksgiving time has brought to the surface a story of the same Professor's even greater concern for an unfortunate student of another class, which should appear in the Notes of that class some day. Let's have a symposium on kindnesses of the old fashioned professors.

Miss Jeanne Andrews, granddaughter of our Addison Fletcher Andrews, was married to Mr. Jacob Bishop Perkins II April 5, at Cleveland, Ohio.
