About the time you read this, your hard working executive branch will be in Hanover for the Class Officers Weekend. You may rest assured the business we transact will be in the best interests of the College and the Class of 1942. Bettie and I are looking forward to a few days of relative peace and quiet plus a very pleasant change in scenery. It is always enjoyable to revisit Hanover - you should do it more often!
