Have you sent in your contribution to the Alumni Fund? Although you've been receiving reminders in the form of Joe Cunningham's editions of Tithe, and letters from Class Agent Paterson and his cohorts—we'd like to add our plug.

With a little more effort, perhaps, you can find a way to increase your contribution over last year's (or the last time you gave). Whatever your motive—personal satisfaction, pride, loyalty, investment for the future education of your sons, supporting a worthwhile cause—in giving as generously as possible, you will know you are materially helping Dartmouth.

Incidentally, Boyce and Dink Gidney are witnesses to the fact that Dang Scherman has returned to the States. You won't be seeing Dang's photographs in Life much longer for, we understand, his camera will be put into professional moth balls—in favor of editorial work.
Budd Schulberg is adapting his forthcoming book, The Harder They Fall, for R.K.O.'s screen version.
