In strikf ing against the post the impact had rung the alarm from the box.-From the Boston Globe. Springfield, Vt., shelters four W'entf worth graduates, two bachelors and two benedicts. All are doing well in their work and, also, seem to be having a good time living in the back woods, so to speak.

To date they have received a very small amount, as you may readily see when you read this page. However, it is never too late to send in your news items, technical articles or the like, as whatever you may send in can be used in one of the succeeding issues, and thus help to make THE TEKTON more inf teresting to the Alumni as they read it. Do not lose sight of the fact that if THE TEKTON is to be the oiiicial bulletin of the Alumni Association, its members must get behind their Editors and feed the ammunif tion to them in order that the results ob' tained on their target, The Alumni Notes, shall register 10024, efficiency. To date the Sustaining Membership of the Association amounts to about 500, which is far below the 1923f24 record. The Alumni Secretary reports that in or' der to keep abreast with the membership of previous years the total membership should be at least 600. There is still six months to go over the top. Let's go! Each one get at least one new member bc' tween now and December 31. There will be at least four issues this year for your membership dues amounting to 51.50 per year. How would you like An Alumni Issue next fall? This can be made pos' sible only through the hearty support and cofoperation of all members of the Alumni Association, especially the Sustaining Menibership. The Alumni Secretary, G. A. Pierce, '13, has received a few very interesting letf ters from the Alumni located in various parts of the country, and below he gives some statements taken from these letters which show how much TIAIE TEKTON means to these writers. E. C. '20 grad, living in Walpole, Mass., writes I assure you that l iind THE TEKTON alone worth the price due to its articles on technical subjects. An E. C. '22 man, located in Brooklyn, N. Y., says: -and I shall welcome the first issue of this year's TEKTON. THE TEKTON supplies the only means of keeping in touch with the activities of the Institute. Also, another E. C. grad in Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: Hoping that the paper proves as interesting as it has been in the past, -I remain. An S. E3 E. P. P. '20 man writes from Port Arthur, Texas, that through THL TEKTON is the only way he can keep in touch with Weiitworth doings, and re' news his Sustaining Membership at once. 10 :l'P41'4-
