D. Burns Douglass, prominent attorney of Fort Wayne, Ind., former Judge of the Municipal Court, at present nominee for Judge of the Superior Court, writes a most interesting letter of his activities. In 1937 he was Grand Master of Masons of the State of Indiana after a service of 35 years in the Masonic bodies. Prominent in Congregational Church activities, he was named as delegate from Indiana to the National Conference of Congregational and Christian Churches at Durham, N. H., last June.

Still living in the house in which he was born, his family consists of his wife, a Northampton woman, whom he married in 1911; two daughters, 13 and 18 respec- tively; and a married son who graduated from Dartmouth in 1937 and Indiana Law School in 1940, at present with the General Electric Cos. in the office of Factory Meth- ods Planning.

Harold M. Hess's treasurer's report has reached you all and contains 3 outstanding facts: ist, we have a small balance; 2nd, our living graduates number only 97; 3rd, the number of paid dues for year 1941-42 is 64 which is 66% of living graduates. Are you all satisfied with that last, and have you done your part? If not, let's raise that percentage of 66 to a higher figure.

Bob Davis of the Department of English of Middlebury College tells me of the ar- rival of his wife and three girls in this country in March, 1942. Leaving their home near Bordeaux, France, on June 22, 1941, they traveled via Algiers, Dakar and Martinique, suffering many delays and re- buffs, but finally reached our shores. They left their farm near Bordeaux in the hands of the German army of occupation. At present the girls are studying dry farming at the University of Arizona grateful to have something to do.

Andrew Jackson of the Securities and Exchange Commission, now located in Philadelphia, is at present striving to help bring order out of chaos caused by the merging of divisions and the losses of younger men to the war services. Hence his inability to attend the Harvard-Dart- mouth game this year.
