1899

Several letters have been received commenting favorably about the thirty-sixth '99 Report, some from secretaries of other classes and a few from '99ers. Here is one sent to Eddie Skinner:

Class report arrived. It is wonderful and stupendous. My, but what a lot of labor, patience and stick-to-it-ive-ness is shown!

It is a record of a lifetime for us. Words just can't describe its value for me.

I have shown it to graduates of other colleges and they are really amazed at it. It starts them asking questions about Dartmouth.

I really bow down and offer sincere thanks to those classmates who are responsible for its existence.

The Secretary was briefly posted on the peregrinations of the Kendalls in Alaska by cards from Sitka, Fairbanks and other towns. Before arriving in Alaska they had a grand scenic trip which included Glacier, Banff and Jasper. They went by sea from Sitka to Seward and from there by rail to Fairbanks, It was reported in this column last month that they expected to be home about the middle of September. It should have been October, as they did not reach their home in Sarasota until after the middle of last month. Early in the Summer Warren was a delegate from the Connecticut Society to the Triennial of the Society of the Cincinnati at Philadelphia. He and Helen were there for two days. They spent one evening at the home of Helen Sewell Minton (daughter of Freem Sewell) and her husband who is an artist. They had dinner with them in what Warren described as a fine, rambling home. Helen's mother has been long ill. Her children go to see her regularly and Helen says she seems reasonably happy.

Dr. and Mrs. Rodney Sanborn have a new New York address. They moved to a new house at 34-35 83rd St., Jackson Heights, L. I. Flitting from there to their Ossipee home in the summertime and their home in Miami Shores in the winter gives them plenty of travel.

The Winchesters spent the summer as usual at their camp in the Adirondacks. Phil did a fine job as usual on the Alumni Fund, even if the class quota wasn't reached. Deaths of liberal contributors and a too high quota accounted for the difference.

At the national convention of the American Association of Advertising Agencies at the Greenbrier Hotel at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., earlier this year, there was a panel discussion on the improvement of advertising copy and practices. The newspapers, magazines and radio and television were represented by one speaker for each of the three media. This scribe spoke for the newspapers, which he was invited to represent.

If you like to read news about your classmates, please send the Secretary some about yourself and your family.

Keep thinking about our 55th!

Secretary and Bequest Chairman, New York Times, 229 W. 43rd St., New York 36, N. Y. Treasurer, 11 Park View Drive, Worcester 5, Mass.
