1941*
In the mad haste of trying to get last month's copy off only a few days late—under this MAGAZINE'S early-bird deadline system you have to pound out next month's news before the shock of reading what you wrote the month before has worn off—the following piece of information got left out.
You may have seen the notice in the forepages of the April issue, but calling your attention to it in any event: the Alumni Records Office has offered to forward first class mail addressed to Dartmouth men in the services, whose current addresses are unknown to friends.
The Records office is doing a miraculous job at keeping up with the changes—one which could only be done, I'm convinced, with the aid of genies conjured lip with weird incantations in the Vale of Tempe by the dark of the moon. Anyway, they're doing it, so you can reach missing uniformed classmates care of the Alumni Records Office, Parkhurst Hall, Hanover.
