"Backward, turn backward, o Time in thy flight:" If our memory is good we can recall that in senior winter months Professor Arner assigned to the members of his Sociology class the project of conducting a census. Some of the results 60-odd years later, among other things, emphasize the difference in the value of the dollar. For instance, note the summer earnings: 27 earned $50 or less, 46 earned $51 to $100, 35 earned $lOl to $200, 4 earned $201 to $300 and one earned $301 to $500.

In senior year the Class was made up of men who were born in 16 states, the District of Columbia, and eight foreign countries. Rhode Island is the only state not listed as home state in senior year.

The census showed that the subjects favored were Economics 25%, English 11.2%, Chemistry 10.1%, History 10.6%, Biology 9.9%, Math 5.4%, Physics 3.2%, Political Science 5.9%, and Philosophy 3.2%. It might be interesting if we could compare this census of our Class with a census of the present senior class. It might shed some light on the so-called failure of communication. Certainly the present generation in college has some ideas which in our time would have seemed like a foreign language.

Ray Seymour sends word that he is retiring from active law practice. He adds he expects to be in Hanover in June.

A letter from Nort Cushman brings the unwelcome news that Herb Woods underwent surgery early in April at the Middlesex Memorial Hospital in Middletown, Conn. Nort said the operation apparently was a very serious experience for Herb, but at the time of writing his letter Nort reported that matters were looking up for Herb. He sure would enjoy and appreciate some encouraging words from Tenners.

The sap has been running in Vermont. The reason we know is that a container filled with maple syrup arrived recently from Howard Bushway and we have been enjoying some of our own homemade (via the package goods) good old New England pancakes, flooded with the golden syrup.

A letter from Bert Kent touches on the disturbing topic of the R.O.T.C. He writes "I hope the enclosed may be of interest particularly the discussion of R.O.T.C. A recent report says Princeton is reinstating R.O.T.C. and I feel we should follow suit. It is quite apparent to me that a group of far left faculty members are not doing Dartmouth a bit of good."

We have had the sad news of the passing of Henry Hutchins which occurred early in March. Henry was one who could be counted on to take in every reunion of the class. We certainly shall miss him.

It is not too late, we hope, to make up your mind to be in Hanover June 12, 13, and 14 for the Tenner reunion.
