1910
We wish that every man who ever attended Dartmouth College could go back there right now and hang around tor a couple of days, lazing around The Inn, the classrooms, Main Street and the Gym visiting with old friends.... and making new. Most of them would receive a definite shock, for in spite of the acres that have been spoken and written you have to be there to get the feel of the situation .... and the transition.
The whole picture is an uncanny distillation of what was a liberal arts college beautifully placed, and unmatched in a rural setting, plus a dash of war, a lot of Navy, scrambled faculty, and an Ad Building that cannot possibly have all of the postwar answers.
Some old values, human and academic, have gone possibly not to return, for the universe is in constant change.... and Dartmouth cannot escape.
The College should safely endure on the solid foundations laid by President Tucker and solidified and broadened by President Hopkins .... it will require lots of brains and common sense with a minimum of disturbance from Washington's professional curealls. But Hoppy has the background, the ability for the job plus an intuitive understanding of a decade ahead and perhaps above all, the unswerving support of Dartmouth men all over the globe, something which a new leader could not hope to gain until the war is well over, and these thousands of sons have returned home with their new thoughts, experiences and visions and journeyed to Hanover again, to be glad and to make others glad, too.

The class lost two fine, loyal, exceedingly well liked members in December Major Johnny Hobbs who died while on active duty in Washington George Sinclair who passed away at his home on December 21, but as yet we have been unable to receive the details Johnny's obituary is in the In Memoriam section We, like others in the class, new both men very well, and it is difficult to think of their having left us. But we have their memories, and they are splendid, safe memories, such as any man would like to leave.

Thanks to him, the class lost nothing and Fletch gets a $120.52 reserve, which we should be building at this time.
