1927
It seems like only last week that we wrote our last column and here it is time to start another college year.
Before getting down to actual news, we want to stop a Second to pay our sincere respects to Coggy Broer and his hard working crew of assistants for the grand job they did in the Alumni Fund last spring. That, of course, was also due to all you loyal and generous men whose contributions produced such fine results. I know that Coggy, perfectionist that he is, may not agree that our record was good last year and I feel certain he is not satisfied that our percentage of contributors was not higher. As a matter of fact, we have not been given the final figures, but we do understand that we exceeded our objective in dollars by a good margin and that we had a larger percentage of contributors than we had last year. We missed winning the Green Derby by a slight margin that could have been overcome easily by a few more contributors. This fact should in no way detract from the terrific organization and campaign cafried on by our new Class Agent in his first year.

If you subscribe to a magazine at your house, be sure to note in at least one September issue the ad of American Iron and Steel Institute, and you will find a very excellent picture of Jock Davis and quite an interesting history of the outstanding work he has been doing with his orchards here in Massachusetts. We hope he won't go too far with that business of eliminating the bee.
