1928

Usually it's an easy job to write the October notes, thanks to the accumulation of news over the summer months. This time, however, I start the task with a heavy heart because of the death of Cliff Dwinnell and Bob Morrison, who died in August, five days apart. When I talked with Cliff in Coral Gables last March "he said his trouble was high blood pressure, and therefore he couldn't take a job with too much worry. He was cheerful, in spite of his years of illness, and very much interested in his classmates and the College. Further information will be found in the In Memoriam section.
