1878

We point with pride to '7B's record of "regulars" and "every year" contributors to the Alumni Fund. It excels all other classes of approximately our antiquity, and in percentage of living members, probably all classes of later date, too. (See Page 22, January MAGAZINE.)

Bouton has had a tooth pulled (Who else has any to pull?) and has so well recovered from a severe cold as to be walking about a mile per day. He thinks Congress should take radical steps to suppress the civil war being waged by the labor unions against the rest of us.

Hayt, too, sees the labor situation more of a menace to the country than the atomic bomb, while Congress lacks the guts to enact laws with teeth for our protection. He rejoices that in spite of failing eyes, memory, and legs he retains the gift of gab to explain what's wrong.

It is now the custom to notify class secretaries of the appearance at the Hanover Inn of any of their class. So here come.s notice to your class secretary that Parkinson of said class was spotted there from the gth to 13th of January 1946. He had a good time, heard much news of the College, which he presumes you will read in the February MAGAZINE, attended the reception of President Dickey, who went out of his way to safeguard the steps of the old fellow, met many old friends, but no near contemporaries.

At the end of her interesting account of "The Loose-Enders," on the last page of the January MAGAZINE, Mrs. Pollard quotes from Emerson a passage that sounds well abreast of the Atomic Era.

By the way, while we are loudly protesting that the atomic bomb must never again be used as a weapon, what is the sense in squandering vast wealth and assuming enormous risk to test it as a weapon? Better devote a traction of that wealth to learning how to use the new-found force constructively.
