1895

I have just opened the November MAGAZINE. On page 40 in the space allotted to '95 I behold a likeness of a skinny, spindle-legged, half-attired old boy who has just returned to

"Thompy" Thompson's home from a dip in the Atlantic Ocean. "Thompy" and Billy Wallis '94 were urged by all members of the summer family and by the skinny man himself to take a dip with me (I may as well own up that is my likeness). They pleaded nolo and wouldn't even go to the beach.

But when I returned across lots through bushes huckleberry, and other kinds of bushes, "Thompy" and Bill Wallis popped out and shot a picture. I don't like it. But there it is, 53 years after I graduated from Dartmouth College.

I'm willing that you other fellow members of '95 should look at it and write me anything you see fit to say. Only please write something about yourselves also so that I can have something about the personnel of '95 in the January issue. Correspondence has dried up sadly during the past months.

Right here I will say that I have just received a communication from the managing Editor of the Chicago Tribune and a reprint of a very caustic report of what the Tribune asserts is going on at Dartmouth College. Some of you have doubtless received reprints too.

What shall we think and say about it all?
