He passed away in 1960 following an outstanding career in medicine that took him finally to the Carrie V. Dyer Child Health and Maternity Center in Monrovia, Liberia W. A. where became a staff physician. Lulu, a gradual nurse, is now serving in a clinic in Monrovia. Her latest letter to Bob ends with—"—I am totally involved in helping to raise this country to greater heights.

Enough has and will be said about coeducation and I won't attempt the pros and cons in this limited space. I do suggest however that any of you who are associated with regional Dartmouth Clubs get a taped copy of Charlie Zimmerman's recent speech to Head Class Agents and include it in one of your programs.
