The Kappa Kappa Kappa Society met at the Copley-Plaza Hotel in Boston on the evening of April 2 in postponed celebration of its 75th anniversary, which was due in 1917 and was put off because of the war, and in honor of its two governors of Massachusetts, Samuel W. McCall '74 and Channing H. Cox '01. The latter is the sixth member of the society to hold the office of Governor of a state.
After an informal reception 120 men sat down to dinner. At the head table were Messrs. McCall and Cox; Dr. John M. Gile '87, one of the three members of the society now trustees of the College, the others being Henry L. Moore '77 and Clarence B, Little '81 ; Louis S. Cox '96, and Nelson P. Brown '99, both Justices of the Superior Court of Massachusetts; Hon. T. W. D. Worthen '72, "the godfather of the society," who was at once the oldest and the youngest member present; Alfred S. Hall '73; Edgerly; J. Pray Wadham '03; Frank A. Carrol '09, who was chairman of the committee of arrangements; Joseph H. Lane '21, the President of the active chapter; and Prof. James P. Richardson '99, who acted as toastmaster. Of the above, Messrs. McCall, Cox, Worthen, Brown, Wadham, Carrol and Lane were called upon for after dinner remarks.
Greetings were sent to the two oldest living members of the society, Elijah A. Gove, of Minneapolis, and Edward Woods of Bath, N. H., both of the class of 1856; and a very remarkable and interesting long-hand written letter of reminiscence from Mr. Gove was read.
The roses which decorated the tables were sent to the funeral of Lieut. Henry B. Frost '14, of Arlington, who was killed while flying over the German lines and whose body had just been brought from France.
