Write to The PRUDENTIAL Insurance Company, NEWARK, NEW JERSEY. JOHN F. DRYDEN, President. Another Traveling Class Letter. To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY: Sir: Your article on “That Forty- Four Letter” in a recent WEEKLY, leads me to mention a letter which thirteen men of Ninety have kept up_ since eraduation. Perhaps I should say a series of letters, for our plan is, that each of us has*a month (we divide December) during which to write a letter and send it on to the next man in alphabetical order. In this way, each man writes an annual letter irre- spective of any other and without wait- ing to receive his predecessor’s. When a letter has gone the rounds, it is re- turned to me for safe-keeping. The main points of difference between the Forty-Four letter and ours are, that we do not write so frequently, and thereby do not cause an unnecessary burden; that there is no budget of letters to be delayed for the addition of a single one, in case of absence, and that we are not flooded with a number of let- ters, but hear monthly from one of our number, to whose letter any one else may add an item. One of our letters made the entire round in less than a month, being returned to me _ before the next man had written his. While our’s is only about one quar- ter the age of Forty-Four’s letter, and has not covered so many miles, we have found that our plan has worked well and as far as I know, proved generally satisfactory. The extreme points from which letters have been sent are Ber- lin, Germany and Galesburg, III. The writers are: Prof. F. Bedell, Cornell University; H. M.~ Bishop, New Haven; Dr. F. T.
