Sixty-one persons paid tribute to Henry W. ("Eskie") Clark '23, retiring assistant director of athletics at Harvard, at a farewell dinner Saturday night at the Hotel Continental, Cambridge. The popular "Eskie" will take up his new duties as Director of Athletics at Lafayette College on January 1.

Herbert Haines, President of the Coaches Club, spoke for the coaches, Henry Dunker '25 for Clark's friends, James P. Sampson '35 for the former managers who had worked with Clark, and Austen lake for the press. Richard C. Floyd '10, President of the Harvard Varsity Club, also delivered a short address.

A Waltham watch was given "Eskie" at the dinner; on the inside cover were engraved the Athletic Association seal and the words "to Eskie from Harvard Coaches Club, December 7, 1935." A coffee service was presented to Mrs. Clark.
