CLASS OF 1898

Bishop Walter T. Sumner of Oregon has been visiting his mother in Manchester, N. H., and the Manchester Leader publishes an interview with him on various topics of interest, and has this to say about his history: "The rise of Bishop Sumner to high office in the Episcopal church has been meteoric. Shortly after being graduated from Dartmouth College in the class of '98, he left for Chicago, where he labored untiringly in the slums for the welfare of his fellowmen, and soon was acclaimed throughout the Metropolis of the West as the "Little Bishop". Nineteen years of his life were devoted to the spiritual benefit of his flock in Chicago before he was called to Portland as bishop. He has been there for the past seven years. It is a notable fact, however, that notwithstanding his long absence from this city he never lost his love for it, nor his loyalty for Dartmouth, of which today he speaks as though it were but a year since he joined the ranks of the alumni. When the Big Green team of two years ago dedicated the new University of Washington stadium at Seattle, Bishop Sumner did much during the stay of the eleven in the West to take the weight of time from their hands. He was active in making preparations for the reception of the players, and left no stone unturned to make their visit a great social success."

David C. Macandrew, for whom no address was given in the 1920 Alumni Register, is living with his mother at 54 West St., Braintree, Mass.

Professor Fletcher Harper Swift of the College of Education of the University of Minnesota has accepted an appointment to direct the survey of public school finance in Oklahoma which will constitute a part of the survey to be undertaken by the Bureau of Education in the near future. Professor Swift has recently completed a similar study for the Bureau of Education made as a part of the Bureau's survey of the public schools of Arkansas.
