CLASS OF 1899

W. B. Adams sang his new Dartmouth song, "Arcady", illustrated by lantern slides, at the vaudeville show of the Dartmouth Club of Boston, April 20.

Benezet was in New York in April. A recent book of his, called the "Story of the Map of Europe", which gives a child a "look at the wheels and works that lie back of the present European clock face and make the hands go 'round", has been brought out by Scott, Foresman & Co.

Pearl got considerable newspaper notoriety from a paper read before the annual convention of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia April IS. The paper dealt with the effects of alcohol as applied to hens. The interesting and scientifically important point of the paper and the deduction from the experimentation upon which the paper was based was that the offspring of alcoholized parents are superior in every way except numbers to the offspring of normal hens, notwithstanding that the alcoholic treatment affected the birds unfavorably. Yet the newspapers, with their usual eye for the picturesque, only got out of the paper that the alcoholic-treated hens outdid the non-treated hens in egg-laying. Pearl was honored with election to the National Academy of Science in April, the highest honor possible for a scientific man in America.

Willard was a member of the Democratic Committee of Penobscot County, Maine, at the meeting held in April.

Rounds has recently taken a position as an investigator for the Ford Automobile Company at Detroit, and is now living in Detroit.

The May Scribner has the first number of a series of articles upon the Hawaiian Islands, written by Mrs. Gerould. The articles are to embody the observations and experiences of Gerould and Mrs. Gerould during their trip last summer to Hawaii, and the first one shows keen observation and is both interestingly written and nicely illustrated.

Oakes recently made a flying visit from Minneapolis to Woodstock, Vt., to see his father, who has been ill, but who is now on the road to recovery.
