It does seem that twelve years is a long time to recover from a nervous shock. And to think that it was all caused by your strenuous efforts with the English four class of 1926!

She was unusually busy for two trans-atlantic passenger sea- planes had collided in the night just outside the New York landing' harbor. While there were none killed four were injured. And it is quite a coincidence that two out of the four should be members of our class. Louis Carr who was piloting one of the planes 'broke his leg but is expected to recover. The great scientist, William' Dixon, was returning from completing his research work in Ger-
