CLASS OF 1866

Our classmate, Dr. James A. Spalding of Portland, Maine, has received at the hands of the medical profession of that state the highest honor at their command, the presidency for 1917-18 of the Maine Medical Association. There appeared in the June issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, an extended review of Dr. Spalding's biography of his grandfather, Dr. Lyman Spalding. The Reviewer said — "The entire volume is filled with material which, although less locally interesting than the passages quoted, will well repay the attention of any reader."

A very sad bereavement has recently come to the family of our classmate, Henry Wardwell. His married daughter, Mary Wardwell Perkins, was drowned in a branch of the Patapsco River, near Baltimore. It is believed that she was seized with cramps. She was living in Baltimore. She leaves a husband and two children. Her body was recovered. Cremation was performed in Baltimore. The funeral services were private and were held at the home of her father, 13 Summer St., Salem.

At the fiftieth anniversary of the class, held at Commencement of 1916, the "Records and Memorials" of the class as prepared by Henry A. Kendall were presented and read at the class dinner. In appreciation of the masterly work done by Kendall, the class has presented him with a solid silver tea set.

The secretary of the class, who has been principal of the State Normal School at Framingham for nineteen years, has resigned his principalship to take effect September 1, 1917. He will take up his residence in Waltham, Mass., at 47 Worcester Lane. It will be like going home, for he was superintendent of schools for fifteen years in Waltham.

Secretary, Henry Whittemore, State St., Framingham, Mass.
