1910
Cliff Lyon's sudden death was a terrific shock because it seemed only yesterday that we all enjoyed our Reunion comradeship with him.... at that time he assured us that he had recovered rather well from his heart ailment, that he was taking good care of himself and realized his physical limitations. The country can ill-afford to lose men of his calibre, and the loss to his family, his community, Dartmouth and his friends is incalculable. Yet Cliff accomplished in his years more than most of us can in double or triple the number that he packed a lot in his full lifetime is well pointed out in an editorial run by the Holyoke Transcript-Telegram. Details of his life will be in the In Memoriam section.
Noah I* oss spent a week last summer with Horace and Cecilia Chadborne in Glacier Park where Chad is a ranger. Noah pens interestingly, "Chad grows younger and handsomer from day to day. I am still at my old job as Assistant Headmaster and head of the Latin Department at Blake School empty titles but I have enough to keep me occupied. X have been here since 1912 and in all probability shall round out the rest of my days in Minneapolis. You see I heeded the ad- vice of Horace Greeley and went West.... I cannot let the old man down now."

"The effects of the G.I. Training Bill are fantastic. We have re served places for 6,000 students in the first course in psychology in this academic year .... daytime classes only. Either stafE or students will perish in the process."
