1924

Time marches on! It doesn't seem too long ago that summer was just beginning, and for three months your secretary was spared the responsibility of having to meet a deadline. Those three months have gone by and here we are back on schedule again.

Now we are concerned with football tickets and the fall weekend, and life is resuming its usual fall pattern. In the meantime not much news has been forthcoming, but here goes with what we have to pass along.

We regret that since our last issue we have recorded the deaths of three classmates: RalphJones on June 1, Phil Gould on July 11, and Hank Hartshorn on August 13.

Congratulations are due to Earl Daum and his assistant agents for the excellent performance of the Class in the Alumni Fund. It is no small accomplishment not only to make, but also to exceed the quota by $4,000. It represents a lot of work and proves that there is still life in the Class of '24.

The Harry Holmlunds have spent the summer on Cape Cod at their home in Falmouth; likewise the Lamsons at Ogunquit. The Nilsens returned to Sarasota after spending the summer in Andover, where Ted, between golf matches, keeps his contact with the textile business, in a consulting capacity. The Bents have remained in South Yarmouth - those who live on the Cape don't need to go away for a vacation. For verification of that statement, I refer you to the Squire of West Dennis, Roly Barker.

We have learned that Jimmie and Helen Reid were again in attendance at Alumni College.

Jane Wilbur, daughter of Virginia and DonWilbur, was married at their home in Sharon, N.H., in June.

We have received a copy of an address delivered by Ted Lamb at the time of commencement at Western Reserve University, from which Ted received his LL.B. degree. The title of his address was "Beyond Freedom," and in Ted's own words:

"Some of us spend a major part of our lives fighting for civil or personal 'rights.' Such time and effort is not wasted. But we must recognize that the basic problem of involves something greater - a more equitable sharing of the world's shrinking assets among nations and individuals. We dissipate billions in promoting ideologies or philosophies when we're really considering the economics of sharing. we may delude ourselves about the issues, but the peoples of the world insist on answers answers which will not come from the unilateral beneficence of one or more industrial nations. To obtain such equality there is no alternative to the establishment of a world organization possessed of the necessary peacekeeping authority. We'll carry on the good fight for our freedoms and independence, but we'll succeed only when we achieve a humanity-wide order, a United Nations, a truly universal society."

About the time these notes are published, the Lake Morey Inn party will have taken place. We look forward to seeing you there.
