CLASS OF 1881

Charles H. Beckett, who was appointed surrogate of New York county by Governor Hughes, has received a letter signed by many prominent members of the New York bar, commending ' 'the dignity, ability, and absolute impartiality of your administration of its judicial powers, and the promptness with which you have dealt with the intricate questions submitted to your decision." The letter further urges him to seek a renomination from the conventions of all the political parties, and to this request Judge Beckett has returned an affirmative answer.

Secretary, Prof. Myron W. Adams, Atlanta, Ga.
