CLASS OF 1878

Alfred P. Sawyer of Lowell was elected president of the Boston Kimball Union Academy Association at the twenty-fifth annual meeting and dinner at the Parker House in March.

Isaac F. Paul was absent from the dinner of the Boston Alumni Association for the first time in many years, owing to severe illness. The secretary was instructed to send to him an expression of the sympathy of the members present. Mr. Paul, who is not accustomed to physical infirmity, says he never knew until his recent hospital experience how much such friendly messages meant to a man who was compelled to lie inactive and isolated. He has passed through a severe and painful experience, beginning in early summer with a serious surgical operation, and although he is now so far recovered as to be at his office daily he is still far from well and still has use for the kindly remembrances of his host of friends as a tonic.

Fred J. Hutchinson has also had a severe and painful hospital experience, but is again attending to business.

Secretary, William D. Parkinson, Waltham, Mass.
