Much complaint is often made be- cause news regarding members of the various classes is not circulated prompt- ly through the medium of the WEEKLY. The fault lies partly with the secre- taries, who are not as active as they might be in following the movements of their classmates, but complete satis- faction cannot be obtained unless the men themselves are willing to codp- erate. At this present crisis many changes are taking place in all our circumstances. It is now a good time for every man who enlists or in any way becomes identified with the war movements, to remember that many of his classmates are interested in his career. Any items sent to the Secre- -bridge, Mass. tary, or to the WEEKLY direct, will be promptly published, and unless all the - members of our Class are willing to take this trouble, it will be impossible for us to keep informed of events of Class interest. «The--address “of the Secretary. 18 20 Lawrence.
