Show been prying into the secrets of the art of book-keeping in my father's office. It had been my intention to spend some months in a Chicago law office, beginning February first, but my sister's illness made necessary a temporary postponement. Wishing you full measure of success in your various avocations, I would remain. Faithfully yours, HAROLD L. BEYER. Grinnell, Iowa, Feb. 13, I899. My dear Classmates:- Although feeling that my contribution will be of little value, nevertheless I will send it, as I am interested in everything connected with the Class of '98, and especially m the class-letter, as it will be to me a communication from each of you. I shall be glad to know how you all are, where you are, and what you are doing. Strange as it may seem to some of you, I am at present taking a course in stenography at the Capital City Commercial College in this city. In December, at the graduating exercises of C. C. C. C, we had the pleasure of hearing President Gates deliver the address on the subject, "The Ministry of the Business Man in the Community," which was enthusiastically received by a large audience.
