The Alumni Editor has noted a newspaper account of the observance on July 20 of the eightieth birthday of Dr. Cowles at his home in Plymouth, at which time he received many callers as well as tokens of remembrance from more distant friends. Dr. Cowles's recent years of retirement go back to his long service of thirty years at the Boston City Hospital and the McLean Hospital, preceded by a service in military hospitals during the Civil War.
Laura C. (Huckins), wife of Professor Luther T. Townsend, died July 13 at their home in Brookline, Mass.
Secretary, Dr. Edward Cowles, 8 Sever St., Plymouth, Mass.
