S. M. I. Graduate Dies at 84 Will I. Ohmer, lifelong resident of D ayton, for many years a prominent manufacturer and civic leader and one-time owner of The D ayton Journal, died unexpectedly of pneumonia on October 20 at his apartm ent in the Moraine hotel.

Born in D ayton, April 26, 1860, he completed his formal education at St. M ary's College, now the University of D ayton, at the age of 16, and entered the furniture manufacturing business of his fa ther, Michael Ohmer, a native of France. From then on, Mr. Ohmer passed a long and active life as inventor, newspa per manager and owner, ~nd prominent civic leader of D ayton.

H e is survived by his wife, Mrs. Grace Ohmer, and many other relatives.

Mr. Ohmer will be remembered for his pa rticipation in the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the University Chapel last June. H e was the only living survivor of those who actually a ttended the consecration in 1869.

Point Grading System Revised Good news--but too late for former students of the University- is the recent innova tion in the grading system adopted by the Academic Council of the University and applicable to a ll future grades of students in a ttendance.

No longer does the "3-point" student represent the highest degree of excellence among the intelligentia of the campus. Like everything else, the quality point system has also been raised and now a student must sport a 4-point average before he can begin to feel that there are no new fi eld s to conquer. The difference has been made possible by the simple expedient of increasing by one the point value formerly attached to the grade A, B, C, and D .

Under this new system, the grade of D now gives a student something to show for his efforts. For those students satisfied with a passing ma rk, it is good to note that the passing point average has a ! o been raised from 1. 0 to 1. 7.

IN GOLD RUSH TERRITORY

HOMESICK ALUMNUS

D ear Brown: I received your reminder about dues at another tation and h ave changed jobs a nd addresses since that time two or three times but now I seem to be fairly ettled and am getting off remittance for my annual dues. Sorry to hold you up so long.

You will have the new address from this envelope. As for the n ew job, I am now base surgeon a t this AAF base in the northern Yukon T erritory. My duties here a re of such a nature tha t there never is a dull or long day. The country itself is extremely fascinating. We are right in the middle of the "goldrush" territory that saw such a boom a t the turn of the century. Jack London lived and wrote here as did Robert Service, the author of so many familiar " northern" ballads.

There is still considerable export of gold and ivory from this section.

I haven 't bumped into any other "alum " up here- although I know others have been up along this route.

However, I certainly do enjoy keeping up with the other all over the world in the publication. R egards to all a t the U .

Larry Libecap ' 34 Alaska

D ear Bro. Wohlleben: I just read in the ALUMNUS tha t you had been in a hospital but were now back a t the old school.

This is the first I heard of it. I hope that you have recovered a nd are well by this time. I extend my sympathy and do wish tha t I could see you before long. However, the train have been so crowded and accomm oda tions so difficult to get all over the country tha t even my appetite for travel has had to be curbed .

I have not been a t the old school for a long time and I am really homesick for the place a nd I would o like to see the school which has so ma ny ha ll owed memories for me and where o many of my very good friends have always been .

So there i a new president a t the

college ! Of course, I know him very well, but I'd like to call down there and meet him since he ha been promoted. I feel that somehow or other I will manage before long.

My health ha been good but I have not worked a ny too ha rd recently. I a m just taking what business comes to me without too much effort, so a not to lose my grip altogether. I really think that I have been practicing law long enough and tha t the wisest thing would be to retire. However, I am a littl e afraid of tha t. I have been u ed to such an active life that loafing entirely might pa ll on me Well , m y good friend, I gue s this letter is long enough. You will be weary from reading it, so I better shut up the shop for the moment.

I wi h you a very speedy recovery a nd the best of good health ; a nd I a m very sin cerely Your friend, O scar C. Miller '92 Chicago

STUDY WHILE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY

DROPS ON FRANCE D ear Jim : Just a few lines to let you know that I am still a live. Am proud of the fact tha t I was one of the first officers to land in Fra nce. Jumping behind the enemy's lines is no picnic a t night- it is just plain h---. W e certainly gave the Jerries a hot reception. They will never forget our outfit.

H ow is everything a t the University? Certainly would like to be there, especially having a few cokes in the cafete ria. The cognac we drink over here makes your hair stand up straight. The French people are mighty swell though.

Will close for the present. Give my regards to all.

Sincerely, Lt. E a rl R. H endricks '41 Somewhere in France
