March 1917 William M. Hatch

At the recent alumni dinner held in Boston at the Copley-Plaza, the following were in attendance from '86: Bittinger, J. F., Brown, Frank 8., Edgerly (Medical), Fairbanks, Hatch, Wm. M., Newton, Osborne, Quimby, Richmond, Sampson, Snow, Stetson, and Tucker.

All members of the class and his many friends in other classes will be interested in the reported tender of the appointment of a judgeship the New Hampshire Superior Court to Leslie P. Snow of Rochester, which Mr. Snow felt obliged to decline. The Manchester Union of January 24 made the following comment relating to this appointment by the governor and council:

"It is known that Mr. Snow was urged by many of the judges and lawyers of the state to take the position, and it is undoubtedly true that he would have been appointed, had he consented. Mr. Snow has attained a position at the bar of New Hampshire second to that of no man, and few attorneys in New England have a greater reputation for ability. The acceptance of a judgeship would mean a big financial sacrifice for him, but it was not that which stood in his way, it is understood, as much as the necessity for being away from his home so large a portion of the time, in attending to the duties of superior court justice."

Secretary, William M. Hatch, 221 Columbus Ave., Boston
