CLASS OF 1899

Horace H. Sears is doing some new work in New York city, a combination of civil engineering and the law. His work includes investigation of real estate titles, of the legality of bond issues on municipal improvements, and the checking up of valuation reports. If possible, Horace hopes to move his family 'in the spring from West Haven, Conn., to New York proper. His present business address is 89 Liberty St., Tel. Cort. 3183.

Prof. K. Asakawa of the department of history, Yale University, spent his Christmas holidays in Hanover.

Dr. Walter C. Woodward of Seattle, Wash., spent a few days at the end of November in Victoria, B. C. During the summer he twice entertained '99 men with their wives, Frank M. Surrey and Mrs. Surrey on one occasion, and Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Pearl on another. He tried to show the latter visitors a noted waterfall. The remarkable absence of water at the "waterfall" led Dr. Pearl to indulge in some ironical comments on the proneness of Westerners to exaggerate. "Bones," however, insists that the proper way to expose the truth of the matter is to get Warren Kendall to provide a special train and send '99 out in a body to test the hospitality and wonders of the great Northwest.

Herbert S. Rogers, though defeated in his candidacy for alderman-at-large in Newton, Mass., in December, polled such a heavy increase of votes over his run of the preceding year that his friends are confident he will win his next campaign." | '

Prof. James P. Richardson is one of the Dartmouth lecturers at the Manchester, N. H., Institute this winter. On February 17 he spoke on "The Advance of Free Government." He delivered the same lecture on February 11 in the faculty series given Wednesday evenings in A Dartmouth in Hanover.

M. Motley Sargeant motored with his family from New Bedford, Mass., to Candia, N. H., for a stay of several weeks last July. Mrs. Sargeant's ill health made it impossible for them to take this trip and also go to the Vicennial.

Major Frank W. Cavanaugh was one of the principal speakers at the Boston City Club when the Boston College alumni gave a banquet to the season's victorious football team on January 13.

George L. Huckins and family of Melrose, Mass., spent Christmas in Meredith, N. H., with Mrs. Huckins' sister. "Huck" carried his hockey stick and skates, and made good use of them on frozen Lake Winnepesaukee. It is only once in several years that the lake is one glare of smooth ice, as it was for several weeks this season.

Robert P. Johnston entertained the New York alumni at their gathering on January 16 with his famous impersonation of a professor of paleontology lecturing on the rare specimens of the prehistoric ages collected in Hanover and vicinity. Anybody interested in this field of science might do well to get hold of a copy of '99's Vicennial Report, recently issued, and read there for himself the form which the eminent professor's discourse took when delivered before '99 and their friends during their twentieth reunion last June.

The new Class Fund Committee consists of Theobald A. Lynch, agent as before; Willis B. Hodgkins, continuing member; Alson M. Abbott and Owen A. Hoban, new members.
