1908

1908 has a new Head Class Agent. Following the death on July 25 of ArthurLewis, our faithful Head Class Agent for 45 years, the class officers were faced with the necessity of providing a successor. Our equally faithful class Secretary, LaurenceM. Symmes, volunteered to take over the duty and was appointed by President Soule, approved by the executive committee and confirmed by the Alumni Fund Secretary of the College.

Class Executive Committee. The new Class Officer's Manual specifies that the executive committee should have eleven or more members, but also has a clause that the number of men on the executive committee should be left to the discretion of each class. Since the present class roll has dropped to 61, the present list of class officers, consisting of Arthur T. Soule, president; Lauris G. Treadway, vice-president; Laurence M. Symmes, secretary and head class agent; Arthur B. Barns, treasurer; Sydney L. Ruggles, news editor, and Warren Currier, bequest chairman; agreed to form an executive committee of the existing class officers and will consti- tute the executive committee of the Class of 1908.
