1886

This year, '86 is Class Number One in its percentage (218 per cent) of givers to the alumni fund. This would not have been possible had not some of our classmates, who are no longer with us in the body, been so alive in spirit that more than half of the contributions from '86 were made as memorials to them. Thus do these classmates who have gone on continue to serve both class and college.

For four years our J. W. Newton has been telling both individuals and groups of Dartmouth men that, it is a sacred duty for the alumni to set up in Hanover such a memorial to our first Dartmouth President, Eleazar Wheelock, that this memorial will henceforth tell everyone who sees it the story of Wheelock's most valuable services to Dartmouth.

On page 29 of the August magazine we are given the names of a permanent committee of the Alumni Council, which has been appointed to make a final decision as to the form the Wheelock Memorial shall take, and to lead in getting it set up. This committee, of which Newton is one, appeals to all alumni to help them to make an adequate Wheelock Memorial at Dartmouth a reality.
