The Ninety-Four Triennial.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Feb. 19, 1808.
To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY:
Sir: The decision of Mr. Amos T.
- Harrington, Class Secretary of Ninety-
Four, not to publish the Ninety-Four
Triennial Record, for lack of financial
support, is a matter of keen regret to
us, and we hope he will see his way
clear to alter this decision.
The reunion of our class last June
was a most enjoyable occasion, and the
Secretary's record of events which
transpired at that’time, together with
other items of class history, would be
a most valuable souvenir.
We would suggest that the Class
Executive Committee come to the res-
cue of the Secretary in this emergency,
and if necessary guarantee to make
good from the class fund any deficiency
that may arise from failure to sell
enough books to cover cost of publica-
tion. Such action would, we are sure,
meet with the approval of the entire
class.
By all means let us have the edition
de luxe.
Very respectfully,
LAWRENCE B. JONES.
