CLASS OF 1899

Captain Cavanaugh wrote from France February 2 to thank his classmates for the bunch of letters and Christmas box which he received. One paragraph: "This Christmas of ours has been the greatest factor of all in moulding a real United States Army. Every letter, every remembrance from across the seas has drawn from out the receiver's heart a new pledge of love and fealty to the flag and to the people of the United States," gives a like reaction here.

R. P. Johnston was married February 11, 1918, to Miss Charlotte Susan Spaulding, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Spaulding.

F. A. Martin writes from France March 5 that, answering a pressure call from a port of entry, he had gone there, and that they Were to have ready that week for the troops that would pour through, one of the largest Y. M. C. A. huts in France.

As a result of Prof. H. A. Miller's work at Camp Sherman, the Carnegie Institute, apropos of the matter how to treat the interned alien enemy has taken up the whole problem of the emigrant and his Americanization; has established a commission of nine, each a specialist of national influence in his chosen field, of whom Miller is one, to make a nation-wide survey. Miller has charge of two of the ten divisions of the survey, first, "The culture contributions "from the emigrant groups and the effect of appreciation and co-operation in the process of fusion;" second, "The relation between the army and Americanization." Just at present he is pushing the army work, giving half his time to it and the other half to his classes at Oberlin. He has already been at Camps Upton, Custer, Mead, and Devens. After his visit at Camp Devens, March 29-30, ten of the class had the pleasure of hearing him talk about the problems involved, as the guest of one of the class at a little supper at the City Club, Boston. It's a tremendously vital problem, vital both as a phase of the war and as an after-the-war projection.

H. M. Tibbetts was elected a selectman at "March meeting" in Hanover. Later he resigned.
