Philadelphia

MORE THAN 50 ALUMNI attended our "night before the Penn game" smoker and dinner on October 5, 1945, at the Princeton Club. Bill McCarter was the guest of honor and gave an interesting talk about the present situation at the College and the outlook for the future. We were also fortunate to have with us Brigadier General Howard B. Fuller '15 who came as the guest of his former roommate, Jack Mason '15.

Dick Hardt '34 lead the singing of the old stand-bys with the finesse of an old glee-clubber.

We were pleased to have with us for the second straight year Mr. William B. McClenachan Jr., appearing on behalf of his son, Blair McClenachan '45 who is on duty in the Pacific area.

The following alumni were present and contributed to an enjoyable evening:
