1943
We realize that it is not the season to be thinking about football week ends, but, as any class secretary will tell you, this is the last regular issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE until October. Accordingly, if, by the time fall does roll around, any '43ers plan to hold informal class get-togethers on appropriate week ends, be sure to let us know about them. Our deadline for the next issue is Sept. 5. (In addition to Boston, New Haven and Princeton, Detroit might be a possibility in view of the Big Green's date with Michigan. Any Detroit '43ers receptive to the idea?)
