CLASS OF 1878

Dr. A. E. Ewing of St. Louis, professor emeritus of ophthalmology in Washington University, plans a motor trip to New England in August. Classmates in this region please take notice.

William D. Parkinson, agent of the Massachusetts Department of Education, who has been acting as principal of the State Normal School at Fitchburg during the past two years in the absence of Principal John G. Thompson '86, on leave, has now been appointed principal, Mr. Thompson having been retired at his own request.

Managing Director Huntington Smith of the Animal Rescue League of Boston has just adopted a muzzle print for dogs. It will be used in keeping definite records of dogs, which will furnish them a good home. In this way, if the animals are returned or lost, it will be comparatively easy to turn to the animal's record. This is applying to animals the same principle of identification that has been found so effective as applied to human beings. A print of the dog's nose corresponds to the finger print of a man.

The Caverly Preventorium at Pittsford, Vt., was opened on June 12, and formally dedicated to its work of forestalling the inroads of the "white plague." This institution consists of three buildings and a large tract of land, in large part the gift of Redfield Proctor and Emily Dutton Proctor. It will be directed by the Vermont Antituberculosis Association. A school building is to be added, toward which Miss Fredericka Holden of Proctor, Vt., has made a large donation. A bronze tablet in the entrance hall bears the following inscription: "Charles S. Caverly, 1856-1918; physician, scholar, investigator; pioneer in public health; president State Board of Health, 1891-1918."

Secretary, William D. Parkinson, 321 Highland Ave., Fitchburg, Mass.
