The office in Hanover announces that the date for the next Reunion is Monday, June 11 through Wednesday, June 13. Will the Tenners who can possibly come make a note of this date. Your secretary would like also to urge all members of the Class to send to him any personal news of other classmates. Some few have been wonderful about contributing items of interest for the Alumni Magazine or the Tenner Topics, such as Mac, Andy, Carp, and Whit, but there are many from whom I haven't heard. Don't be modest or shy and consider that your classmates are not interested in you, but share your experiences or your feelings with your college comrades and I'm sure you will find it worth the trouble. So far I have received 22 answers to my questionnaires and I will try to summarize the answers to controversial questions in the next Tenner Topics, and also include two or three biographies.

Harold Robinson sends an interesting Christmas letter from Carmel Valley Manor, Carmel, Calif., where he and wife Mary are located since his retirement. His two sons are practicing physicians, the elder in Northern California, and the younger in Summit, N.J. His daughter is working to get an M.A. so she can teach the history of art in a college. His granddaughter Jennifer has entered Dartmouth with the first coed class. thus Harold and Clarke Tobin's second feneration make 1910's contribution to the new class of girls.

Herb Coar sent in his green sheet questionnaire, and on the back of it wrote such an erudite description of research on cell division, chromosomes, mitoses, etc. as to completely puzzle your M.D. secretary whose microscope has been gathering rust for some years. Explanation of Herb's erudition was offered in that he is both M A. and Ph.D. and his occupation until retirement was teaching at Dartmouth, Princeton, Harvard, the University of Massachusetts, and the New' England College of Pharmacy. That he has endured better than most of us the ravages of time is evidenced by his statement that in spending winters in Jupiter, Fla., where his oldest son resides, he drives down and back with 34-36 hours of continuous travel.

Pop Chesley, president of 'OB, sends holiday greetings to 1910 and said, "At 91 'A years I find my memory is slipping but I could never forget the cheerful 'Let's-go' gang."

Ralph Van Zant writes from San Diego, Calif., that he is confined to a retirement home, but is well looked after by relatives and friends who run all errands for him. He has a sister, niece, and two grandnieces and two grandnephews, all living in San Diego.

Whit Eastman continues to get honors. At the recent annual meeting of the Minnesota Ornithologists Union, he and Karen were awarded the Thomas Sadler Roberts citation for dedicated work in the field of conservation.

How many of you saw the detailed account of last fall's Cornell game in the Boston Globe and realized how close Dartmouth came to losing the Ivy League championship? It seems that on three successive sequences early in the second half, our superb defense stopped Cornell on the 7-yard line, the 12-yard line, and the one-inch line, and then, with one minute remaining in the game, Klupchark ran 70 yards for the final touchdown which gave Dartmouth the victory. After the game, the Cornell coach said, "I don't think I can ever remember a tougher defeat. It was crushing."
