Dear Friends of Bryant Alumni:
Please accept my thanx for the box of chocolates received at Christmas time. All of the fellows sure made “quick” of it.
You all are to be commended for your fine spirit.
Thanx again,
Yours sincerely Sgt. Rondomanski [Transcription ends

Dear Friends,
It is only after one is in the service and the happy day comes when a Bryant package arrives that you realize how sincere and truthful all the letters on the Bryant Service Club bulletin board in South Hall really are. Like the fellows who wrote the letters I use to read when I was at Bryant, I can’t find a way of really expressing my appreciation for the package, so I’ll just say “thanks a lot” and I’m sure you’ll all understand.
As far as army life is concerned, it’s great. Outside of a 16 hour day six days a week we often get K P on Sunday, as a sort of relaxation. Result: Everyone keeps right “on the ball”. So far I’ve been very fortunate in that I’ve only landed there twice.
Now for some real news. Leo Blais, Maurice Cofman, Mario Roque and myself have been accepted for A S T P training. We will leave for Washington DC in about three weeks were [sic] we will be assigned to some college for training. Like myself, all the boys are raring to go. Lets hope it turns out to be as good a school as Bryant.
Well, this is about all I can write just now, and may I once more add my sincere thanks for the package.

Fellow Bryantites:
I know you are interested in what we who ae overseas are doing, but censorship allows us to say but very little. However, I can say that after three years in the tropics I am now stationed somewhere in England. So far, I\u27ve met one other Bryantite, T/Sgt. Frank Budlong who was in my class (\u2737).
We are paid in English money and therefore of necessity, had to learn this monetary system in a hurry. Although I was only in the U. S. a little over two months before coming overseas again I saw the rationing in the Middle-West and the East and it can\u27t begin to compare with that over here. Even in the Army we are rationed to 7 pks. of cigarettes, 2 bars of candy, one pkg. of cookies, 1 bar of soap, 2 boxes of matches, 2 razor blades, and 1 pkg of gum a week, if it is available. We save, and do get the Stars & Stripes (Army newspaper) every day and the Yank once a week.
Please let me know what the cirriculum [sic] and tuition are for the 2-year accounting course are [sic]. Thanking you for this, I remain, Respectfully yours

The spinor representation of constant mean curvature one surfaces in the Hyperbolic space
No full textWe review and comment on some aspects of the spinor representation for constant mean curvature one surfaces in hyperbolic space developed by Bobenko-Pavlyukevich-Springborn in [1]. The relations with the Bryant representation are addressed and some examples are discusse
Some results in nonlinear fixed point theory
No full textThis work is concerned with several questions which arise in the study of selfmaps of metric and Banach spaces. If (X, d) is a compact metric space and f a continuous selfmap, the behavior of the set of subsequential limit points is studied. Several results pertaining to the structure and invariance (under f) of the set of subsequential limit points for a given element of the space are obtained. An example which provides an answer to a question posed by Metcalf and Rogers is included; namely, it is shown that the derived set, L'(x), of a given set of subsequential limit points, L(x), is not necessarily invariant. Sufficient conditions to insure that L'(x) will be invariant are provided. Some questions posed by Nadler and by Bryant and Guseman are studied. We generalize a result of Nadler by showing that the iterative test of Edelstein is conclusive for the class of chainable metric spaces which are locally compact. This theorem is employed to provide an answer to a question of Bryant and Guseman; specifically, we show that the iterative test conclusive does not imply the contractive extension property. By introducing the remetrization contractive extension property, we are able to characterize those dense subsets of locally compact, complete chainable metric spaces which have the Iterative test conclusive. Finally, the concept of an attractor, as defined by Nussbaum, for compact sets in a topological space is introduced. It is shown that an attractor for compact sets under a continuous selfmap f of a closed convex subset G of a Banach space has a unique invariant (under f) component. It is then shown that for any x in G, L(x) [does not equal] 0 and furthermore, L(x) is contained in the invariant component. The unique invariant component of an attractor for compact sets is shown to be an attractor for points

To Bryant Service Club:
In answer to your letter of Jan. 23 in regards to Lt. Lionel J. Cormier I am pleased to advise you that he has received your package and he has requested me to thank you for him as his address has changed from Dover, Del. I would like to mention here that he is now in foreign country and that no packages can be sent to him at present. Only letters and those have to be by air mail. I receive letters from him every week and he is well and still flying a bomber somewhere. I will give you his address on the other side of this page.

At any time you want any information I will gladly give you all I can in regard to Lionel. Please note that my new address is now

Thanking you again and wishing you success in the good work your club is doing for the Boys in the service.

Dear Miss Blaney,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply to my request for an official transcript. I’d like to present to you the addresses of few Bryant boys that graduated with me and who are now in the Armed Forces.

George Bunnell is also in the Navy. I have not his latest address.
Larry Italiano has sent me two letters. In each letter he mentioned the Service Club. He said he hadn’t heard anything from them. He said, “After all, it’s a pretty tough job to keep in touch with so many soldiers as there are today.”
I sent him a letter assuring him that he had not been overlooked, and promised that I would turn in his new address to the Bryant Service Club. I have now done so.
Miss Blaney, I am now working on a plane to make a “dime” collection from Evening School students. It may take time, because it’s a lot slower movement for extra curricular activities in Evening School.
Thank you again.
Sincerely yours,
Leonard
P.S. I met Bob Marshall’s father at Nicholson File Co. He told me that he thought that the Bryant Service Club was a grand organization and deserved many, many thanks.
