CLASS OF 1884

At a meeting of the Southern California Association of Dartmouth Alumni held at Los Angeles, California, May 23, 1908, it was

Resolved: That the death of Senator A. E. Nutt of San Diego, California, at Tucson, Arizona, on April 28, 1908, should be brought to the notice of the Alumni of Dartmouth by publication in the BI-MONTHLY.

Senator Nutt was an alumnus of Dartmouth of the Class of 1884. About four years after his graduation, he went to San Diego, cal., and entered into the practice of the law. He soon acquired a good clientage, and a good reputation in the community about him.

He was early elected a member of the board of aldermen of that city, and served as president of the board for several years. The position demanded and received from him hard work and cool judgment, as the city was undergoing rapid building and improvement of all kinds.

He was chosen one of the forty senators of California, and served in that position with such eclat that he was the selected candidate of his city for the Republican nomination for Congress from the 8th Congressional District of Cailfornia, and was only defeated after more than fifty ballots in the convention.

His ability was so conspicuous, that had he lived, and been willing to continue in politics, there was no position in his state, to which he could not have aspired with flattering promises of success.

He leaves a wife and daughter, and in his death his family loses a beloved husband and father, his city and sta e an able citizen, and Dartmouth College a distinguished son.
