This columnist was browsing the other day in Oswald Garrison Villard's excellent book, The Disappearing Daily, and came across this multum in parvo in regard to the only newspaper in the United States which a '94 man now edits. Mr. Villard spoke of the Hartford Courant as"one of the cleanest, ablest and best edited of American newspapers." Long may the Sherman light continue to shine!

In saying that he is coming to the Matt Jones fall Roundup on Friday, October 13, Henry Howland says, "I will bring a smile, handshake, appetite, and loyal heart."

Comments with regard to Phil Marden's Magnum Opus, "Fifty Years After" continue to come in. Archie Matthews calls it a "wonderful document." Secretary Rollins, of the Class of '97, says, "It is bully." The veteran Doctor of Laws, John M. Comstock, says

"Marden's picture of the College in your day is almost identical with what I saw seventeen years earlier with only a few changes in individual names. My class was the first to receive diplomas from President Bartlett." Mrs. John Clogston: "On my return to the city after a vacation, I was delighted and very much touched to find the class book, 'Fifty Years After.' " Mrs. Arthur Adams: "I have enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. I have it out on my living room table where I can read it often."

Aubrey Lewis talks about the Reunion: "I have a feeling that it was different from any other in that our fellowship and good feeling were more truly whole hearted and spontaneous than at any other gathering of the class. It was as if we individually had arrived at a full recognition of the meaning of true friendship."

The Boston Bunch recently entertained Elmer Tenney and Billy Wallis at luncheon. Other '94 men coming to Boston please take notice. Secretary's telephone number: KIRk- land 6766.
