1925
Another summer passes into the limbo of endless time; once more Labor Day is upon us before we know it, and the wise and lucky few who have held off their vacations can anticipate relaxing amid September's beauties. Not so your scribe who had his European junket in April, and can think no more of holidays until next year. An occasional weekend is another thing; the one for all to remember is November 9 and 10 in Hanover, with the Executive Committee meeting on Friday night in Crosby Hall, and the Officers' Cocktail Party at the Norwich Inn after the Columbia game on Saturday. All '25ers are welcome on both occasions. Make your room reservations early.
Most of the news items on hand barely missed publication last June, and are, there-fore, not precisely scoops, but your secretary is beyond moaning over the lack or the lateness of such material, nor can he undertake to solicit it. He prints what he gets when he gets it.

Turning to the next generation, Dris and Mart Huberth's son Peter, just graduated from Cornell, was married last June to a classmate, Miss Katherine Marie Weigt....

Our own classmates are still providing vital statistics: Bob Hardy was married in Tampa last May to Miss Hilda Hardy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Hardy of Darien, Conn. They planned to live in Sarasota after a honeymoon trip in Europe. Bee and BerniePhillips were also abroad and were kind enough to send a card from Oxford to your poor old secretary, still regretting the shortness of his recent visit there.
Already the tang of autumn is in the air, the swamp maples are beginning to turn, and the year is rolling into its last quarter. During the past few days, in various communities, mothers have been leading their youngsters to school for the first time, with some of the latter, it is true, appearing rather dubious about the worth of the undertaking. Educationally speaking, this is the start of a new year, and for some of these youngsters, one may reflect, the beginning of an enterprise that may culminate on a bright June morning in Hanover in 1972. It seems a long way off, but we know that it isn't. Nature's rhythms are in some ways no more impressive than those man has composed for himself, and none of these is more moving or fundamental than the recurrent autumnal surge of young people flooding our schools and colleges. Just as the earth renews itself in the movement of the seasons, so can we, as we grow older, be rejuvenated by this tide which we have ourselves set in motion so that our children may be wiser and more understanding that we have been.
