Class of 1905
Rev. Irving Stuart, of Detroit, Mich., died on December 27, 1926, during an operation for mastoid. He leaves a widow and one daughter, who is Mrs. Robert Kerr of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. An obituary notice will appear in the next issue of the MAGAZINE.
In the December number of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, on page IS4, appears a brief article concerning Chester N. Moore and the active part which he took in the development of the Coolidge Cathode-ray Research Laboratory of the General Electric Company, of Schenectady, N. Y. Mrs. Moore in her letter in the 1924 class report describes his work as follows :
"His special work for the past eight years has been X-ray tubes and vacuum tubes in general. The men in the 'Lab' are constantly working on something new in the use of electricity. As soon as they have perfected something new, with the aid of the wonderful equipment always within reach, the something new goes to the factory and our research engineer starts all over again in his search. There is little dull routine, and under Dr. Whitney the work is intensely interesting, but the accent is on the intense, and so Chester is ready about July first for a vacation."
Lafayette Chamberlin announced on January 1, 1927, the consolidation of his firm, known as Chamberlin and Bosson, with another Boston law firm, Nesmith, Stone, and Grant. The new firm name is Chamberlin, Stone, and Bosson, and their offices are at 30 State St., Boston, which is Lafayette's old address.
Bob Falconer writes about his European trip of last spring as follows:
"As for the trip it lasted an even nine weeks. Our cruise steamer was the Transylvania of the Anchor and Cunard lines. A very comfortable ship. We numbered 725 souls, among whom were some real people, whom to know became a joy. We stopped at Madeira, in the port of Funchal, then went to Lisbon, from which port a party of us entered Spain, visiting Madrid, Cordova, and Granada, coming out by Seville and Cadiz.
"We then passed through the Pillars of Hercules, stopping for a day at the big rock. Then, Algiers and Tunis, from which point we made an .expedition to Carthage.
"Then Greece, with two days in and around Athens. Then Constantinople, with first a wonderful sail up the Bosphorus, turning in the Black Sea. Saw Ned Estes at the Robert College, Constantinople, and had a lovely day with him and his wife. Then, out past historic Gallipoli and the site of ancient Troy, down through the Aegean Islands, many of which were visited by St. Paul, to Haifa. Then, six days in the Holy Land, chiefly allotted to Jerusalem and its environs and Galilee.
"Then, Egypt, port of Alexandria. Ten days were spent here (seven in Cairo, three up the river) where our main stop was at Luxor, the ancient Thebes. Here our most popular objective was King Tut's tomb. Then, Naples, passing through Scylla and Charybdis and seeing both Mt. Etna and Mt. Stromboli in active eruption. Alt Naples I left the cruise and took four days in Rome and a day and a half in Nice, with a glimpse at the Riviera. Then I hurried across France, stopping only one night in Paris, and caught the Mauretania, so as to be home for Easter.
"To garner up the trip I read all last summer, chiefly on Egypt and the Holy Land, and now have prepared two lectures on these countries. The lectures are each illustrated with about 85 colored slides, I having had the luck to find a fine colorist right here in my own town. Some of the slides wefe made from my own pictures, and some I sent back for, to Jerusalem."
I understand that Bob is willing to deliver these lectures on request, and makes only a moderate charge on account of his expenses.
