As  I  told  you  the  other  day,  we  are  fit¬ 
ting  up  a  room  for  the  Editors,  to  serve 
as  a  working  and  club  room  and  to  preserve 
in  every  way  possible  a  sense  of  tradition 
of  a  paper  approaehing  its  fiftieth  year  of 
publication.  I  have  written  to  Mr.  William 
A.  Howe,  *77#  of  Carlton,  Yamhill  County, 
Oregon,  the  only  surviving  member,  I  be¬ 
lieve,  of  the  first  editorial  board,  asking 
him  for  his  photograph,  which  we  shall  have 
framed  to  hang  in  the  Vindex  Room.  How, 
if  you  felt  inclined  to  spare  us  one  of  your 
recent  photographs,  we  should  be  very  proud 
to  have  it  to  frame  and  place  in  the  Vindex 
Room,  too.  It  would  be  most  appropriate 
that  the  photograph  of  the  first  Adviser 
to  the  Editorial  Board,  who  was  responsible 
for  starting  the  paper,  should  hang  perman¬ 
ently  beside  that  of  the  first  Editor-in- 
Chief.  You  have  already  done  so  much, 
that  in  a  way  I  hesitate  to  ask  for  more. 
But  this  request  is  of  a  different  nature. 
It  would  be  a  great  satisfaction  to  us  if 
you  were  inclined  to  grant  this  request, 
perhaps  writing  on  the  photograph  or  on  a 
card  to  be  framed  with  the  photograph  some 
brief  message  from  you  to  the  Editors  of 
the  present  day,  coming  from  the  first 
Adviser . 
I  am  taking  the  liberty  of  placing  your 
name  on  our  mailing  list,  with  the  hope  that 
you  will  aecept,  with  om  gratitude,  sompli- 
mentary  copies  of  "The  Vindex"  for  the  rest
