Makes Public a Belated
Letter From General
SEES AID IN 'GET-T0GETHER'

Horace Mather Lippincott. editor Of
the Alumni Register of the University
OF Pennsylvania and one Of the most
active of the alumni leaders. received a
letter today from General Leonard
Wood. containing a belated message in
regard to Alumn. Day.
Mr.. Lippincott wrote at the end Of
December asking General Wood. who
will take up his duties as the new head
OF the University of Pennsylvania in
September to send a greeting to the
on Washington's Birthday. General
Wood replied with a cablegram which
was read ut the University Day BAN
quet.
In the letter the General expressed at
length his approval of the University
Day observance, one of the historic eel.
ebrations of the institution. As Mr..
Lippincott pointed out, the letter seems
to indicate that General Wood. in his
guidance of the University, will keep
close to graduate sentiyent.
The letter follows:
Manila, January 80
Dear Mr.. Lippincott-Your letter of
December 81 reached me today. too late
to send you the message requested. I
am sorry. People at home overlook the
fact that four weeks is the minimum
period for letters to reach Manila from
the Eastern States. and that generally
the mail takes six weeks in transit.
Il trust Alumni University Day was
productive of good results. The idea of
these informal meetings between the
graduates and trustees and faculty IA an
excellent one and will greatly aid in
keeping up interest in the University
among the graduates and in informing
the authorities Of the institution as to
graduate sentiment and the general out
side opinion concerning the University
management. policy, etc.
II am sending you the following tele-
gram: Best wishes for University Day
"With best wishes for the new year,
"Very sincerely yours.

Elmer decided to change his seat. In
moving he lost his balance and fell into

His companion. unable to help him,
regained the pier by stepping from boat

Stokley was tied on the other side of

had occurred.
The police boat force grappled for
