CLASS OF 1902
March 1921 Wm. Carroll Hill

A prophecy made by Daniel Webster at Plymouth one hundred years ago, December 21, 1820, was made possible of fulfillment by Wm. Carroll Hill, secretary of 1902. Webster expressed the thought that a hundred years hence the appeals from the Pilgrims expressed at Plymouth might sound across the continent and be lost in the murmurs of the Pacific. At the tercentenary exercises of the Pilgrim Tercentenary Commission of Massachusetts, of which Mr. Hill is secretary, at Plymouth on December 21 last, Mr. Hill arranged for a long distance wire by which Governor Coolidge of 'Massachusetts, sitting in Governor Bradford's chair at the Plymouth theater, was enabled to talk with the office of the governor of California at Sacramento, thus carrying out the prophecy of Webster of a hundred years before. The feature proved one of the most interesting events of the day's celebration.

A floral wreath from the classes of 1902 and 1903 was sent to the funeral of Willis P. Craig, former member of 1902 who graduated with 1903, who was accidently killed while hunting at Walpole, N. H., December 28, 1920.

The following members of 1902 gathered at the annual dinner of the Boston, alumni January 27: William Adriance, Dr. Pattrell, Dr. Ballou, A. C. Tozzer, W. C. Hall, Dr. W. B. Thompson, G. L. Dow, D. B. Keniston, H. F. Parker, A. H. Dalrymple, R. M. Leach, and W. C. Hill.

Ralph H. Carleton was appointed auditor of disbursements of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company at Chicago on February 1.

Dr. Harry B. Ballou has become connected with the Mansfield State Training School and Hospital at Mansfield Depot, Conn., dating from the middle of January.
