1928

In recognition of Os Skinner's devotion to class and College, the Skinner family has done a wonderful thing. It has provided the College with a donation of $50,000 to establish a scholarship in his memory. This is such an appropriate, as well as very generous, thing to do, it undoubtedly will be applauded by the class members. The appeal for a special contribution to the Alumni Fund in honor of Os already has resulted, by the end of February, in responses from 40 of us. This is just one indication of the respect and affection we all felt for him. It would seem that we could best show our appreciation for what the Skinner family has done by making further special contributions.

Maurie and Anne Makepeace were holed up for the winter in Marion, Mass., according to a note received from Anne in early February. Her reason for writing, however, was to report the death, on Jan- January 31, after a long illness, of Jeanne Howard, Ted's wife. Anne says that, while deeply regretting her passing, she is glad Jeanne and Ted moved to Marion in time for the Makepeaces to get to know this wonderful person.

The questionnaires sent out with the October Campaigner are coming in slowly, some accompanied by welcome notes. One from Dick Clark, who is now retired in San Diego, mentions that he produced the penand-ink drawing that is used as the letterhead of the Campaigner. It was Art Kneerim, of course, who got him to do it. Jack Berry, whose retirement home is in Rossmoor, Jamesburg, N.J., writes that a trip to Hanover is too much for him right now. However, it is noted that his chief retirement interest is golf, so a certain mobility is assumed. Couldn't you stretch it a little beyond 18 holes some day, Jack?

Whether the mini-reunion is to be, or not to be, is still a question. So far, the response to the request in this connection in our February notes has been insufficent to permit your class officers to reach a decision. Those in favor had better speak up quickly.
