CLASS OF 1878

The Choir Herald for February published as the anthem meriting its first prize of $100, a composition entitled, "The Lord God is a Sun and Shield," by Addison F. Andrews of New York. Mr. Andrews also received some time ago a similar prize for the best musical setting of Richard Hovey's "Men of Dartmouth."

Clarence E. Burnham of Danvers, Mass., has lost his eyesight, and now writes only by the use of a blind man's pad. The trouble is said to be with the nerves and not much encouragement is held out to him, but he writes hopefully and cheerfully. Mr. Burnham has at last deserted the ranks of bachelorhood, and has recently taken to himself a wife.

Edwin W. Sanborn is now journeying in foreign lands. Writing from Palestine, he says he should be glad to descend from the mountains which are round Jerusalem, as there has been, the worst weather in the memory of the most ancient patriarch. He adds that he has found the Dartmouth training valuable in withstanding the cold.

Secretary, William D. Parkinson, Waltham, Mass.
