Dartmouth Alumni receive this splendid MAGAZINE, month after month, with such effortless regularity that, undoubtedly, most of them fail to realize that this same publication goes just as consistently to every Dartmouth man in the Services, wherever he may be reached. It is an outstanding Dartmouth war deed in itself.
Through our many years of intimate contact with the MAGAZINE, we perhaps understand the situation better than you have been privileged to. Financially, it is supposed to, and does stand on its own feet—but whenever a deficit has occurred, the College has footed the bill. Class dues, primarily, plus advertising revenue, furnish the money.
Fletch Burton received this letter from Malcolm Bissell who left us to get his degree at Yale, but who has maintained his interest in Dartmouth as much as circumstances and location would permit. On the U. S. C. faculty for many years, he is now in services of the Goverment. He writes: "Dear Fletch, I haven't seen you in about 37 years but that's what I used to call you and it doesn't sound natural to call you anything else.
"My new address is 4312 No. Pershing Drive, Arlington, Va. I am now research analyst in the offices of Strategic Services, Far East Division. Am on leave from the University of South California for the duration. I have a son, Technician Corp. Malcolm Bissell Jr., in the Army at Fort Ord, Calif.
"I note that the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is being sent to Dartmouth men in the Service, and that's one of the principal reasons I'm sending you my check. As long as the war lasts, I'll try to continue paying class dues, but it's kind of tough on us fellows who went to two colleges and get bills from two class secretaries and notes from two Alumni Fund collectors! Thank Heavens that I didn't go to a third school for my graduate work!"
Class dues help the MAGAZINE—AIumni Fund gifts, regardless of size, enable the College to do many of the things Dartmouth is famous for, some of which are not directly curricular but none the less appreciated by her sons when they leave the classroom doors for the last time.
Andy Scarlett is out for a record this year- it would be nice for each Tenner to help him within their own capacities.
