Class of 1901
Charley Kimball recently visited his classmates in Boston, stopping over on his way back from Montreal. It is the first time that we know of its happening, but he apparently brought no tangible evidence of his visit to Montreal.
The annual alumni dinner was held in Boston on January 24, and was attended by twenty-six 1901 men. President Hopkins and Jim Kimball were two of the principal speakers, and as usual the main thoughts in their subjects were entirely unlike, and showed, to the satisfaction of all, that the class is broad-minded and can entertain or enthuse in a variety of ways. The following men attended: Bryant, Calderwood, Cate, H. S. Clark, Cobb, W. R. Crowell, Cap French, Gilmore, Hildreth, Hunter, Maguire, Marsh, Marshall, Rollins, Sampson, Shanahan, J. S. Smith, Snow, Taylor, Ward, Whalen, Wood, Woodman, Gibbons, besides the two speakers, Hopkins and Kimball. Eddie Gibbons and Woodman were welcomed back into the fold, and all were glad to see them. Gibbons has regained his health, and is quite well again.
Bunker Bishop and his wife recently spent a few days in Hanover. They never miss a chance to get back to the old College, and no one enjoys his class affiliations any more than Bunker.
George Pingree and his wife are on an extended business trip, which will take them to nearly all the countries of Europe.
It is reported that 'Rubber" Thayer is preparing a poem which he is sending to "Chan" Cox to be read at the next class round-up "Rubber" is engaged in raising dates, and several members of the class have sampled them and claim they are far superior to those he used to make.
Governor "Chan" Cox has recently announced that he will not be a candidate for the United States Senate, but will retire to private life. "Chan" has devoted many years to public service in Massachusetts, and by successive steps has been state representative, speaker of the House, lieutenant governor, and governor, and has filled each position with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his many friends, who have so frequently expressed confidence in him. Without doubt he could have been elected to the United States Senate, as he has always been able to poll a large vote in the state and his record has left no vulnerable points. It is generally recognized that "Chan" has given the commonwealth of Massachusetts the best business administration it has had for many years, and his record of reducing expenses and taxes is unequaled in any state in the Union. "Chan's" classmates are sorry to see him drop out of public life, but they will welcome him and Mrs. Cox as they come back into private life, and they all hope they will be able to see more of them as they are relieved from the arduous duties of the past years.
