The two months, August and September, during which the Magazine is not issued, seemed to pass much faster than usual. Although many events have taken place, we have no reports of changes in our routines. A group of seven men, all but two of whom are on the list of Dartmouth's nine oldest graduates, are not likely to make headlines. We did the best we could for the Alumni Fund, we have struggled through some strange weather conditions, and now we await the reappearance of the Magazine.
At a class reunion not long after Kenneth Morse had made the change from teacher to insurance man, a member of postgraduate group asked him if his move was not contrary to the altruistic principles he had earlier expressed. He answered that he had the.same ideas, and perhaps better opportunities. For example, in settling the claim of the widow of a policy holder, he found that she was already besieged by those who were urging her to invest in glittering, but dubious, securities. He was able to show her a suitable procedure which did not imperil the only source of support left to her. "I don't think I have changed."
Naturally, at our age, we do not look forward to the coming winter season.
