CLASS OF 1905
Tom Keady's football team of marines trained with the University of New Hampshire at Durham for most of the month of September, and enjoyed all the benefits of the University's equipment, including a training table at the Commons, according to the Boston1 ranscript. The marines lived in tents on the campus and maintained strict military discipline. The two teams scrimmaged frequently, each assisting the other in preparation for the coming season. On September 25 the two teams met each other in real earnest on the University field, the marines winning 24 to 0, thus bringing to an end the comradeship which proved so profitable to both.
Eliott P. Frost, whose obituary appears on another page of the MAGAZINE, while spending his vacation at Nantucket, entered the Cottage Hospital there for treatment of a carbuncle. When about to leave the hospital he developed pneumonia and his heart was unable to stand the strain.
Harris W. Fleming's death at his summer home in Hyannisport on September IS was also very sudden and unexpected, although he had not been in very good health for several years. Ralph Knight is with the United Shoe Machinery Company in Beverly.
Royal Parkinson has had to spend several weeks recently in the Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital, incident to an operation on his feet.
C. C. Hills has this to report about Nelson K. Fromm:
"While recently in Albany I had the pleasure of finding Dr. Nelson K. Fromm in his office. .N. K. appears to be at least twice the size he was in college, and is evidently not on a rigid reducing diet. In addition to being a recent past president of the Albany Medical Association (not chiropractic), he has recently been made president of the board of directors of the church which he alleges he attends. This office not only involves attention to the business affairs of the congregation, but enables the Doctor to occupy the pulpit in case of the unexpected illness or absence of the regular speaker. Members of the class who are laid over in Albany on a Sunday are cordially invited by N. K. to come and hear him. The usual mid-week services at 8 P. M. every Wednesday in the basement of the church."
John Tuck is back from his trip abroad, returning in plenty of time to attend the New England Fair, in which he takes a great deal of interest.
Walter Emery will have the enthusiastic congratulations of the class upon the success of his campaign to complete the class quota for the Alumni Fund this year. Our quota was $2729, and it was paid 100%. Quite a number of men gave small additional sums, which alone took us over the top at the last minute. This leaves the treasury of the class pretty dry, with only a little remaining for running expenses, and as a result the activities of the Secretary may have to be curtailed somewhat this winter.
Edgar Gilbert recently sent samples of his new tooth paste to the members of the class. If you have not received a little tube of it, let him know.
Ed Sibley's sister died in June at their home in Ashburnham.
There are still a few places available in Dartmouth's quota in the new University Club of Boston. Applications should be sent to James R. Chandler '98, chairman of the Dartmouth committee, 24 Federal St., Boston.
The Dartmouth Club in New York has just opened this fall, and is looking for more members." There is no initiation fee at present for non-resident members, and the dues are only $10 a year. Applications should be sent to Raymond F. DeVoe '16, 120 Broadway, New York.
Gene Musgrove spent the summer vacation in Bristol, N. H., as is his custom. I ran across him there one day in August and had a little chat with him.
Rufus Day and family drove over from Hanover to Newfound Lake one day last summer and took dinner with me and my family. I had another brief visit with him a few days later in Hanover.
Lillard has completed his new dormitory at Tabor Academy in Marion, Mass., which gives the school much increased facilities. Larry Leavitt '25 has joined the academy faculty, and is coaching the football team. Mrs. Leavitt is Ed Hall's daughter.
Walter H. Lillard, Jr., has entered Dartmouth this fall, and rooms with the oldest son of Bucky Chandler '98.
Hon. Fletcher Hale has thus far neglected to send me a letter for the class telling about his impressions in Congress. Perhaps he will comply with my urgent and repeated requests now that I have told on him.
I attended the funeral of President Tucker at Hanover on Sunday morning, October 3, a full account of which appears in this number of the MAGAZINE. It was a beautiful and impressive service. Joe Gilman was the only other member of the class whom I saw there.
Secretary, 511 Sears Building, Boston
