1910

A FLASH just in from Else Jenness urges Tenners to mail to him without delay their intentions, or lack of intentions, to attend the Reunion. The Committee needs all possible information, biological and otherwise, to complete preparations.

The dates are a natural—the possible combination with Fourth of July offers additional possibilities for individuals—and it's high time we got together again.

Chan Baxter is coming on from the Coast ....Leo Sherman from Iowa; Bill Taylor, Easty and some more of that gang from the Twin Cities; Dick Hursh from Chicago—and hordes from Boston and New York areas.

There'll be many of the old faces and a goodly number of new who can come through a break in the dates, or who want to ring up a meeting with the Old Gang while there is still time.

In line with the prescribed duties of the Chairman-Secretary, we announce the appointment of a nominating committee composed of Chairman Ben Ames Williams, Chauncey B. Baxter and Whitney Eastman, who will present to the Class at its meeting a list of nominees for Chairman-Secretary, Treasurer and an Executive Committee of seven members.

At this date only a partial list of the men who plan to attend is available—so all are urged to send reservations immediately to T. W. Jenness, 50 Congress St., Boston.

The committee composed of Else, Charlie Fay and Bones Jones will announce details as soon as they are completed.

Recent Hanover visitors were Phil Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Taylor A 1 Doggett is with Farm Security Administration at Schoharie, N. Y Ken Phelps has been appointed Chief of Staff of Abbott Hospital in Minneapolis, a fitting recognition of his long service and eminence in his profession in that area Jim Kelrey's address is 1707 Kilbourne Place, Washington Juddy has moved to Cloquet, Minn., to lead a retired life doing a lot of the things men like to do, principal of which at this time of the year is planting things and watching them grow under personal care.

Last week we had a very enjoyable visit with the MacPhersons. While driving through Framingham, we stopped—saw Jim, Louise, Bud, Bob's wife and two older daughters. Jim commutes busily between New York and home. Louise maintains the spacious establishment and does attractive gardening on the side. Bob runs the Framingham News, the old family newspaper. Sis is with the Massachusetts General in Boston—and Bud, just out of the Navy, is undecided whether to take up teaching immediately or return to Harvard and complete his requirements for a Doctor's Degree: all which remain to be done are one examination and his thesis. Jim and Louise will be at the Reunion—their first trip to Hanover since prewar days—like many another Tenner family.

Julius Warren resigned as Commissioner o£ Education in Massachusetts and is going to Missouri to take up a combined executive and teaching career. Julius is a very able man in the field o£ education and has done an excellent job in the East where he has made many friends and well-wishers The best of everything follows him to his new work.

Easty is a mighty busy executive developing a new chemical division of General Mills (which he presidents)—but he finds time to write articles on his industry. One published in The Chemurgic Digest deals with "The Future of the Soybean Industry in the United States"—the production and processing of the soybean during the last ten years in this country have made gigantic steps forward. But Easty, and he should know, predicts continued and unabated demand for soybean products, and general inability of foreign nations to catch up with us because of our advances in research and technology.

Fletch Burton will have an outstanding report to submit to the Class at its Hanover meeting—busy man though he has been and still is, Fletch has performed a marvellous job as treasurer.

Andy Scarlett will have his final figures in by the time we meet—and it is safe to forecast that he will turn in another outstanding accomplishment.

This gathering in Hanover, the first in six years, will find a lot of fellows anxious to sit around and participate in "Bull Sessions" while renewing the firm friendships of 40 years, for it was in the fall of 1906 that we first met each other on the famous old Plain. A lot of water has gone over the dam since then —but somehow, we feel that in this comingReunion we are going to find a heck of a lot of fun re-living the past and getting the most out of each minute we are together.
