WITH REGRET we report the passing ofHenry C. Morrison '95 who at the timeo£ his death on March 19, 1945, was ProfessorEmeritus of Education at the University ofChicago where he had been since the early1920'5. He retired several years ago and withMrs. Morrison planned to return this springto live in Andover, Mass. Besides his widow,the former Marion Locke, he is survived bythree sons: Hugh S. '26, art professor at Dartmouth College; John A. '25, geographer with the Office of Strategic Services; and Lt. Robert D. '28.

One hundred and thirty came to the University Club for our annual meeting that ended with after-dinner talks by Dean Neidlinger and Tuss McLaughry. The Dean said Dartmouth as a liberal arts, small-town college has intimacy and other traditional characteristics that no one could change, but that visual aid and other improved techniques of instruction developed during the war will be used. He also compared our March 1945 enrollment of 1200 V-12's, civilians, etc. to the very small enrollment at colleges like Amherst and Hamilton which now have only civilian students. Tuss McLaughry drew an analogy between competitive athletics and war.

Josh Davis, here from New York for the Alumni Fund dinner, was surprised and pleased to learn of inhabited lands west of the Jersey meadows. Hap Atwood was down from Minneapolis. Ralph Hinners, chairman of our local scholarship fund, gave the dean $1,000 which raises to about $13,000 the account we maintain in Hanover. Treasurer Fred Uhlemann was extremely happy that so many accepted his $5.50 dues and dinner combination offer; at those prices Fred told me, we lost no money. Spic Saunders took enough breakage from the bar tickets to provide a decent financial surprise for the waiters who handled the dinner. Officers elected for the coming year are: President, Lewis M. Williams '10; Vice President, Whitney Campbell '25; Secretary, Donald MacKay '20; Treasurer, Fred K. Uhlemann '30.

Lt. Robert L. Woodcock Jr. '33 USNR spent a 30-day furlough in Chicago after two years in the' European theatre and now is in New York. Donald M. Wood Jr. '33 is reported to be back in civilian life. Cpl. Tom B. Maver '45 was in town on his final furlough and has headed west with the USAAF. Lawrence F. Stern 'lO, President of the American National Bank and Trust Company, is Chairman of the 7th War Loan Drive for Illinois.
