1900

The date of the arrival of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is becoming each month a matter of greater uncertainty. It is hoped, however, that this issue will reach you in time for a final notice of the annual Round-Up at the Follansbee Inn, North Sutton, N.H., from June 18 to the 2 ist. Not that any further notice is required by the regulars—they are sure to come. Last year the attendance was considerably over thirty, which is more than 50% of our living membership. Let us make this year a recordbreaker in numbers present. It is sure to be a record-breaker in interest and enjoyment because in every case each of our meetings is superior to all those preceding it. This will be no exception.

Clarence McDavitt, after a month and a half in the hospital, has returned to his Newton home, well on his way to recovery. CharlesProctor, despite a painful and long-drawn-out case of the shingles, intends to set out the middle of May with Mrs. Proctor for a visit with their son in the Yosemite Valley. Col.Teague has returned from Florida to Hanover where he has been in Dick's House for a physical check-up. He departed, however, just before the secretary called to make inquiries about his welfare, but is to return to Hanover again prior to the opening of the summer season at Mt. Washington. John Warden delays in Florida later than most winter visitors but writes that he intends to start his return trip by June 1. Jim Woodman was a recent caller in Hanover, but the secretary unfortunately was not at home when he made his way to North Park St. All members of the class must have read Arthur Robert's editorial in the April issue of the MAGAZINE, with its suggestions for an adequate basis of college finance. Unquestionably he will be thoroughly prepared to defend the practicability of his plan against the attacks of any sceptics, if any such there be, when we meet in June. George Tong and Len Tuttle have already made their plans to motor from New York for the gathering. The mention of their names at this point is not to be taken as an indication that they, in particular, are the sceptics mentioned above; but they may be. Who knows? Certainly in the case of Len you never can tell.

From Cut Tirrell comes an announcement of the marriage of his son, Donald Owen Tirrell, to Miss Margaret Montgomery Dewar in Montreal, on April 24.

Harold Holland celebrated his seventieth birthday at his home in Galesburg, III., on April 15, lagging exactly one day behind the secretary in reaching that respectable age. He writes that, although not in all respects quite so young and sprightly as he used to be, his health is very good and his activities continue to be much the same as in the past. Some two years ago he had an extremely narrow escape from a fire in the Galesburg Club, where he lives. In a way, he thus regards himself as living on borrowed time. We do not often have a chance to see Harold and his announcement that by all means he will be present at our reunion in 1950 is greeted by all of us with much satisfaction.
