1884*

Your Secretary has just received information respecting our classmates, Homer B. Hulbert, Joseph S. Matthews, and Benjamin P. George, that is of interest.

Homer, who lived for some twenty years in Korea, has been asked to supply the article on that country for the forthcoming revision of The Encyclopaedia Britannica. When asked about it, he said that the account of any nation should be made from the standpoint of that nation itself and not simply from the outside. What those people themselves think about the domination of Japan is what the public wants and should know. They have an army in China closely allied with Chiang Kai-shek and have been doing important work in guerrilla warfare in various parts of China. Hulbert met the people who landed from the steamship "Gripsholm," a few days ago, among whom were several missionaries from Korea, some of whom had been cruelly tortured by the Japanese. He attended a dinner at the Parkside Hotel in New York at which there were ninety-eight Americans from Korea. He was asked to deliver the address of welcome, being the oldest living American who went to Korea in 1886.

Joe Matthews has been so actively engaged all summer in work for the Superior Court of New Hampshire, sitting in Referee and Master cases, that his usual summer vacation was delayed until September.

Ben George apparently has regained his health and strength, and judging from his fine work on the Alumni Fund drive deserves a pat on the back from all of us.

Here's hoping that some of the other boys will take pattern from the above and let me know how they fare.
