CLASS OF 1884
Homer B. Hulbert gave an address at a mass meeting of the Boston branch of the League of Friends of Korea at Jacob Sleeper Hall, Boston University, on the evening of April 20. Mr. Hulbert was sent to Korea by the State Department in 1886 to assist in establishing an educational system on Western lines at the request of the Korean government, and remained in Korea twenty-three years, becoming educational advisor to the emperor.
Rev. Dr. Charles A. Dinsmore has resigned his pastorate in Waterbury, Conn., and has been elected to fill the new chair of Christian literature in Yale University. He will take up his new work in September.
Annie Louise (Chandler), wife of H. Lee Hatch, died suddenly of heart disease May 1, at her home in Randolph, Vt. Four daughters and a son survive her. Robert A. Hatch '20, who was killed in France, was another son.
James D. Home is rounding out his twenty-sixth year as principal of the Lawrence High School. He was in fact kept from the reunion last year by the celebration of his twenty-fifth anniversary in useful and distinguished service. Under his guidance not far short of 3000 pupils have been graduated, and his influence has been strongly felt in a long list of students sent well fitted to Dartmouth and in a considerable majority of the whole teaching force of the Lawrence schools.
The many warm friends of Dr. James P. Houston will be glad to learn that he is steadily recovering his impaired health on his fruit farm near Traverse City, Mich., and has continued his valuable work in the high school there, bringing the influence of old Dartmouth to bear on the rising generation. He has just recently been active in the organization of the National Cherry Growers' Association, formed to consolidate and build up the large interests in cherry growing through the country.
Clarence Howland of Catskill, N. Y., has been taking a conspicuous part in the civil and political activities of his home, and rendered sterling service through the war in many activities. It may interest the boys to know that his son Billy rows number two on the Princeton University eight, carrying out the athletic tradition of the Howland family well remembered by '84. Athletic ability seems to run in families, as witness the distinguished record made by one of the sturdy sons of F. L. Laird '84 on the football field last year.
Rev. C. L. Adams, long in service in Michigan, has been appointed pastor of the Central Methodist church of Detroit, one of the strongest churches in the state, and on his capable shoulders falls a large part of the pastoral work of the parish, for which his old classmates will recognize him as singularly well fitted. His address is now 547 Garland Ave., Detroit.
Secretary, Louis Bell, 120 Boylston St., Boston
