A card received from Eslie Jewell, 1912, informs us that she is still teaching in Inglewood, Calif., but is planning to stop and visit G. I. C. on a trip east next summer. Alma Mater always has a warm welcome for her sons and daughters when they come home. Miss Margaret Firth, '24, and Miss Pearl Hile, '26, are two of the younger alumnae to be chosen as instructors in the public schools of Grand Island. Frank Northrup is City Attorney at Council Bluffs where he handles cases involving large and important issues. Rev. Elisha Jackson, one of the early graduates, has transferred his pastorate from Gibbon to York. John Foote and his family visited Grand Island during his furlough from his work in Japan. He is situated at Osaka, where he and his wife are doing a wonderful work. Their visit here was much appreciated by those G. I. C. friends fortunate enough to meet or hear him.

It is with sorrow we chronicle the passing of Dr. George Frederick Sutherland, who passed away in August, 1925, cutting short a brilliant and useful life. Miss Harriet Ege, trained nurse, has temporarily given up her work to care for her sister, Mrs. Russel Vaughan, nee Eloise Ege, who has been in poor health. We understand she is improving nicely under such expert care. They are residing in California, where Mr. Vaughan is Superin- tendent of a Government Indian School. Josephine Broun, formerly Y. W. C. A. Secretary of Grand Island, has transferred her activities to storm-driven China, where she has thrown herself into similar work for Chinese girls with the same intensity that characterizes her whole life. Doris Hudson, '26, is connected with the Children's Home Society at Omaha, Nebr. We regret to report the death of Rev. W. C. Miller at the Midway Hospital, St. Paul, Minn. He was formerly a missionary to China and later pastor at Rapid City, S. D. His family have the sincere sympathy of all G. I. C. friends. A few days following Mr. MiIl61 S death, Rev. Herbert Ford, a very close friend of Mr. Miller, paid sincere tribute to him in a short chapel ad- d1'ess. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Eloe, Knee Delight Milesb, who for many years have resided at Aurora, Nebr., whe1'e Mr. Eloe was Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., are about to leave that city. Mr. Eloe, who has been in poor health, has resigned his position. Details of their future plans are unknown to us. Dr. Arthur H. Sutherland, son of President Emeritus Sutherland, has left Los Angeles, Calif., and moved to Scarborough, N. Y., where he is director of Scarborough School, founded by the well-known financier, F. A. Vanderlip. His brother, Dr. E. H. Sutherland has also made a geographical change moving from the Uni. of Illinois to the Uni. of Minnesota, where he cou- tinues his work as Professor of Sociology.
