Your secretary's mailbag has been pretty empty for the past month. By the time you read this, we will have been in Hanover for the Yale game, will have picked up all of Graulty's files and memorabilia (the transfer of which couldn't quite be accomplished at Reunion) and will be in a position to contact all of you by other means. In the meantime, our thanks to the clipping service of the Alumni Records Office.
