New address: Arthur Anderson has forsaken his country home in Loudon and moved to 95 School Street in Concord, N. H.

Preliminary plans are underway for the 55th reunion of 1908 in Hanover on June 14-16 of next year. Your editor has been drafted as chairman of the reunion committee, ably supported by Art Soule, LarrySymmes, George Squier, Larry Treadway, and Maybelle Gleason. It is hoped to have a large attendance and all classmates, wives and widows are urged to begin to make plans to be there.

L. Cleveland Amidon, who had been dean of DeWitt Hall, a two-year business school in Bristol, Conn., has been promoted to interim president but soon met with a serious problem. DeWitt Hall has been offering diplomas but not awarding degrees. The State Commission of Education is taking steps for prosecution of the school and its officers, including Cleveland, for maintaining instruction on a college level without a license. About 150 students are enrolled at the school which opened on September 26, but legal processes were served the next day with summons to court on October 2 to show cause why a temporary injunction should not be issued against operation of the school. Victor Dowling, attorney for the school, stated that the recent licensing statute covers only degree-granting institutions and "We are operating legally and with total compliance with the laws of Connecticut."

To settle the estate of the late CharlesL. DeAngelis a three-day auction sale of antique furniture, books, silver, glassware, and other household articles was held on June 21-23 at his former home in Holland Patent near Utica, N. Y. The DeAngelis family had lived there since the 18th Century and the sale included many objects of great value.

John H. (Rosie) Hinman and the International Paper Company continue to receive citations. One honoring the I. P. Co. for using forests not only as a source for their projects but also as a natural home for care and preservation of wildlife was recently presented to our Rosie as honorary chairman and director of woodlands for the firm by William Rockefeller, president of the A. S. P. C. A.

"Berkshire Fall," the guide to everything in the Autumnal Berkshires, included a full page on "Village Innkeeper's 50th Anniversary" with a picture of the Williams Inn and of a smiling Larry Treadway in his office at the Inn. Larry has occupied this same office since he took over the Inn in 1912 from Williams College which had been operating it for some years as an alumni house and had accumulated a debt of $56,000. Larry soon turned it into a paying proposition and eventually founded the Treadway Inns, a chain of 25 hotels, motels, and country inns that extends from Franconia, N. H., to the Virgin Islands. Larry is still the guiding hand but his son Richard is the operating head from an office in Boston. Larry and his wife Helen now live a quiet life in a comfortable house on Bulkley Street in Williamstown but have a winter home in Florida.

Another retirement in our ranks, this time Rev. Harry S. Lowd from his latest pastorate at the Community Church, North Orange and Tully, Mass. Harry and his wife Katherine have bought a little farm in East Northfield. Harry came to Dartmouth from Bangor Theological Seminary and was ordained to the ministry in September 1912. Those who were able to be in Hanover for our Fiftieth will recall the "Service of Remembrance" in the White Church which Harry conducted for us.

Our oldtime Class Secretary, HeinieUrion, writes from Harrison, N. Y.: "I was keenly disappointed to miss the 50th at the last minute. I have been working to help Eddie Dooley '26 in his campaign" for reelection as Congressman from the 26th Congressional District. (Dooley has since withdrawn from the race.) Heinie offers some suggestions and much sound advice for the new secretary and includes an orchid or two for our Newsletter editor.

George F. (Doc) Worcester whose grandson, John Jr., accompanied him to Hanover in June writes nostalgically of the "wonderful spirit of comradeship which showed itself throughout the entire three days" of our reunion. At the alumni dinner he sat alongside of Joe McCarthy, whom he had not seen in 50 years, and Cy Dodge, who regaled all around him with tales of class politics as they were in our day. Doc has been victimized by two coronary attacks but continues to practice medicine on a limited basis, assisted by his son John. Cocoa Beach, Fla. n the winter and short vacations now and then throughout the remainder of the year, but no more fishing trips to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
