The class will be interested and pleased to learn that Fred Chase has accepted the posi- tion of Class Chairman of Bequests. Fred had to make his acceptance conditional on his be- ing allowed a few weeks' delay before starting on this project, since he finds himself very busy at this particular time. So don't be sur- prised if you hear from Fred in due course. He will supply you with details. Fred writes that he and Ruth spent eight days very pleas- antly in Hanover during the summer. They had a delightful evening with C. C. Hills, "whose society I find very stimulating and en- joyable."

We have some interesting news of ArthurMcClary's family. Marie is living comfortably alone in Malone, though increasingly troubled with arthritis. Their daughter Louise, who had been a secretary for doctors in Boston, is now secretary to the new president of Clark- son College and lives at 14 Elm St., Potsdam, N. Y. Of her two brothers, Nelson is an in- surance adjustor in Malone, while Bill is now teaching in the Sanquoit (N. Y.) High School. He was graduated from Union College in June and married a very nice girl in August.

Charlie Sylvester is teaching in his 25th year at Somerville High School. Some two years ago he fell and broke his hip and has been seri- ously crippled since. He lives with his sister and daughter at 5 Washington Ave., off Lin- naean St., Cambridge, Mass. He would appre- ciate receiving calls from any of the class.

At last account (some time ago nowl) LouWallis was his usual vigorous self, and re- ported getting over to Hanover occasionally. His two sons were located at Los Alamos, N. M. Malcolm, who went there from Oak Ridge, specialized in physics at Dartmouth 039)-

A letter from Carl Getchell states that he was enjoying reasonable health and was thank- ful therefor. His son Carl flew the Pacific as a navy pilot, and his grandson, a third Carl, had just "swum a tank" under water, at age eight!

Percy Noel, in a justifiably cheerful mood, wrote during the summer that he was connected with and writing for three different branches of the State Department. He was at that time completing a contract, an important and remunerative piece of work, about the United Nations. His son Henry was on his way back from France with his doctor's degree from the University of Montpellier. Suzanne, Percy's wife, who is French, acts as his secretary. She is still young and quite wonderful, he adds.

Judge and Mrs. James C. Donnelly were visitors at the Hanover Inn during the latter part of August. There is a real attraction about the town, isn't there, Jim?

Royal Parkinson, than whom there is a no more deeply loyal alumnus, bar none, is, I know, greatly pleased at what he has termed "very important progress toward emphasizing moral and spiritual values at Dartmouth, as a necessary part of training for leadership." He feels that the two steps taken by the Trustees and President Dickey respectively insure permanency of attention on the part of the College to this goal. He was referring to the establishment of the William Jewett Tucker Foundation, and the appointment of a committee, under the chairmanship of Francis Childs '06, for assisting the Trustees in forwarding the goal of the Foundation.

Men of '05, are you interested in the idea of a mid-period reunion next June?

As these notes are about to be sent to Hanover, word has reached me from Bill Blatner of the death of Jim Adams. His going is particularly sad in that, besides two older sons and a daughter, all married, he leaves two very young children by his second wife Violet, who survives him. The boy, Charles, 5, he had hoped to see through Dartmouth.
