News is just coming in from the results of the marvelous job Hap Atwood has done on the Alumni Fund and John Remsen on our class end of the fund. We have made over 100% of our quota, and the total fund is another indication of what Dartmouth alumni can do in war years. AH in our class who missed out will want to be represented next year. A check now will count next year.
