The '78 Round-robin 'foreshadowed in last month's Class Notes is now on its continental circuit, soon to be completed, and is expected to be a monumental memorial of our 65th.

Hayt has settled contentedly into his new home. Says between Satan and Mrs. Hayt's concern for her garden he is being kept out of mischief, and rather enjoys puttering about; gets some entertainment watching two swollen rivers on the rampage; neuritis in right arm and fingers his only considerable ailment.

The Isolationists who claim George Washington as their patron saint, quoting apart from its context his dictum anent entangling alliances, would be dubbing him a starry-eyed idealist if he were to describe himself today, as he did to Lafayette in his own day, as a "citizen of the great republic of humanity I consider how mankind may be connected like one great family in fraternal ties.... the world is evidently much less barbarous than it has been, its melioration must still be progressive." George would contend now, as then, for a new order after victory.
