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.
