CLASS OF 1887

Harry Wess Emerson Smith was born in Conway, Mass., in 1864, and entered the. class of 1887 freshman year. His name also appears in the catalogue of sophomore year. He left college, and immediately entered newspaper life in Albany, N. Y., his home town, as reporter on the Albany Daily Press.

Later he became political and legislative reporter for the Albany Argus, and also represented many New York papers as special correspondent. This became his life work, interrupted only by a paralytic stroke, which occurred about one and one-half years ago. He lingered as an invalid until death came on November 4, 1916.

On September 6, 1893, he married Josephine Emma Smith of Glen Ridge, N. J. Her death on January 17, 1914, and the loss of other relatives about the same time left him entirely alone, and saddened his last days.

His brief course at Dartmouth endeared him to his classmates, and while never privileged to rejoin the class at reunions, his interest in and loyalty to the class never flagged.
