ALUMNI NOTES

CLASS REPORTS

The secretary has received the following class reports:

Class of '76—slst Annual Report. Class of '77— Semi-Centennial Record. Class of '94—-Class Letters of the Year 1927. Class of 1912—9th Report. Letters and Personal Data after Fifteen Years. Class of 1917—Nineteen Seventeen Dartmouth College.

The secretary of the class of 1917 wishes to state that the expense of publication of this report has been so heavy that any general plan of distribution of the book has been impossible There are a few copies of this very excellent report remaining after the class has been provided for and as long as the supply lasts a copy may be obtained at a cost of $5.00 by addressing the editor and retiring secretary of the class, Ralph Sanborn, 220 Broadway, New York city.

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE CLUB OF NEW YORK

After three hours coursing the hills and dales of Staten Island, Hawley Taft took the low gross and Alvy Garcia the low net golf prizes in the first outing of the Club. A. D. Osborn and Sanford Treat won the tennis tournament. Some 50 members of the Club spent what seems to have been an entirely enjoyable day, winding up with fervent hopes that the occasion would be repeated at least each year, and preferably that the fall would see a repeat.

The inroads of summer seem to be nothing to fear so far as use and occupancy of the Club is concerned. Lonny Russ 'O6 and two or three more of the summer bachelors have already moved in for a couple of months, and the transient business continues to improve all the time.

The entrance floor has received a newlinoleum floor and an entire coat of paint, so that so far as appearance goes the Club is in better shape all the time. New gifts and loans of pictures and books come in with commendable frequency, all adding to the general attrac tiveness of the quarters.

A new membership campaign under the lead of A 1 Smith 'l2 is on foot, and naturally the Club expects to see a considerable number of 1927 men in as members when they arrive in New York.

Taking things by and large, the progress so far made has somewhat exceeded expectations, and with more and bigger plans for the fall in the way of entertainment, it should become more and more inviting to all Dartmouth men who come to New York.

DARTMOUTH CLUB OF HARTFORD

The Dartmouth Club of Hartford is active and getting more so. This year we had six meetings with speakers either from Hanover or from the business world.

Dartmouth Night brought "Doc" Griggs to us, and he brought the spirit of the College at the opening of a new academic year. A bull's eye for a starter, but only the first, for later in the year seventy-five of us, including fathers of undergraduates and prospective undergraduates, welcomed Dean Laycock.

Maurice S. Sherman '94, a newcomer to our midst as editor of the Hartford Courant, was our speaker in December. Dr. Paul R. Felt 'O6, a member of the medical staff at the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane, Alfred M. Hitchcock '96, author and teacher, and Robbins B. Stoeckel, state commissioner of motor vehicles, were our other speakers.

CLASS REUNIONS

CLASS OF 1877

The fiftieth anniversary of a college class is the climax of its reunions, the goal to which its members, if class feeling is strong in them, look forward expectantly for a long time preceding the event. It was so with '77. The reunion is now history, and I am sure all who were able to be present look back upon it with much satisfaction. Several have so expressed themselves, and there is no doubt of the general feeling-

By special favor of the College, the class had rooms and meals at the Inn, which added greatly to the enjoyment of all present.

On Sunday afternoon at their home, Adams and his daughter received informally those who had arrived, where we met also Professor and Mrs. Hastings, Professor Hastings havffrg taught a part of the class in freshman mathematics, and being the only one left of our faculty.

On Monday afternoon the Alumni Association gave us a reception in the tent on the campus. Owen acted as spokesman for the class and fittingly introduced each man, and each responded in such manner as he chose. All the members of the class who were in town at any time were present at this reception. Of the twenty-eight living graduate members, fourteen, just one half, were there: Adams, Bartlett, Chapin, W. F. Chase. Comstock, Cox, Davis, Deane, Gile, Goddard, Owen, J. H. Smith, Temple, and Thombs. Of non-graduates we had with us Aiken, Bryant, Morton, and Murdock, with Gage, who began the course with us but finished with '79. While most of these men had frequently participated in class reunions, this was not so with all. Bryant had not seen Hanover for 52 years; Bartlett not since our graduation; Chapin and Chase had never attended a reunion. What the experience meant to them may be imagined.

Here may be mentioned the feminine part of the reunion. Comstock, Deane, Gile, Goddard, and Thombs were accompanied by their wives, Chase by his daughter and a friend of hers, while Mrs. Deane brought her granddaughter, Miss Winship. Mrs. Robinson, widow of a much-loved classmate, was in town and met many of the class. Three sons of '77 were greeted with pleasure: Edward K. Robinson 'O4, Robert E. Adams 'l7, and William Sewall 'l7.

On Monday evening in College Hall occurred the reunion banquet, in which the ladies did not participate. All the men were present except Aiken, Cox, and Gage. Thombs acted as toastmaster, and elicited responses from all.

On Tuesday morning such of us as were left formed in the procession for Webster Hall. It was a great gratification to be present at the bestowal of the Doctorate of Letters upon Adams, and to witness the ovation which he received, which was repeated when he spoke for the class at the alumni luncheon.

Yes, we are glad we came, and regret only the absence of others whom we would have had with us.

JOHN M. COM STOCK, Secretary.

CLASS OF 1887

The meeting at Hanover was the culmination of more than a year's work on the part of the committee in charge, which consisted of Sydney E. Junkins, chairman, and classmates Albert E. Hadlock, Frank B. Sanborn, George W. Shaw, and James B. Wallace.

Out of one hundred men connected with the class sixty are living; of these forty-eight were present, including four non-graduates, or 83% of the living graduates, who number fifty-three.

The first man on hand was Charles L. Carpenter of Porto Rico, who came in May for treatment at the local hospital; the last was Walter E. Kittredge, who arrived Tuesday morning. Rev. Samuel C. Bartlett came from the greatest distance, Japan, much to the astonishment of his Japanese friends, who could not understand why a man would half-encircle the globe to attend a meeting of his classmates.

The class was quartered in South Massachusetts Hall, where the living room was appropriately decorated with flowers and ferns and with pictures relating to the class and class life.

Saturday afternoon there was an impromptu parade around the campus. Dr. Charles A. Eastman, clad in his native Indian costume, led the procession on horseback, and Stanley Johnson acted as marshal. Johnson wore the suit used by his father on the occasion of the latter's marriage eighty years ago.

During the evening Prof. Sanborn gave an exhibition of lantern slide pictures illustrating scenes of our college days.

On Sunday morning the class group picture was taken in front of headquarters, and then the class motored to Lake Morey for dinner at the Country Club there.

Judge George H. Bingham presided at the banquet, and Emerson Rice acted as toastmaster. Wilder Quint responded for the ladies, Albert E. Hadlock for the class, and Fred A.' Howland for the College.

The menu included a reproduction of the picture taken senior year and a reprint of the menu of the freshman banquet held at the Junction forty-four years ago. There were seventy-six present. After dinner there were golf and boa-t;ng for those who desired.

On Monday wreaths were placed on the resting-place of classmates Gile and Emery, who for many reunions had welcomed us back to Hanover.

At Commencement on Tuesday honorary degrees were awarded to members as follows : to Rev. S. C. Bartlett, Doctor of Divinity, to Prof. F. P. Brackett, Doctor of Science; to S. E. Junkins, Doctor of Engineering. Later at the alumni lunch in the Gymnasium Rev. S. C. Bartlett was one of the speakers, and announcement was made that the cup for attendance came to 'B7 for the fourth time.

A goodly number remained over Tuesday evening, and Dr. Eastman explained the Indian sign language and gave an Indian dance.

Classmate Carpenter, ill at the hospital, thoroughly enjoyed seeing the men who called, and was able to sit with the class during the taking of the picture.

The following were in attendance : Charles L. Carpenter and wife, Central Aguirre, Porto Rico; Sydney E. Junkins and wife, New York city; Fred C. Heilge, Burton, Wash.; Albert E.

EMERSON RICE, Secretary.

CLASS OF 1892

The Thirty-fifth Reunion was an unqualified success. The attendance was good; twenty- seven men, twenty wives, nine sons, and five daughters 'registering between Friday noon and Sunday night. The roster is as follows :

Allen and George Allen; Baldwin; Barton and Mrs. Barton; Belknap, Mrs. Belknap, and Preston Belknap; Blood and Mrs. Blood; Brown; Coombs, Mrs. Coombs, and Marion and Hamilton Coombs; Coon; Cummings; Davidson, Mrs. Davidson, and Howard and Curtis Davidson; Doty and Mrs. Doty; Emerson and Mrs. Emerson; Gunnison, Mrs. Gunnison, and Vinal Gunnison; Hall, Mrs. Hall, and E. K. Hall, Jr.; Hayes; Holland and Mrs. Holland; Libby, Mrs. Libby, and Mary Louise Libbey; McDuffee (W. V.) and Mrs. McDuffee; Miller and Mrs. Miller; Norton, Mrs. Norton, and Ruth Norton; Noyes and Mrs. Noyes; Salinger, Mrs. Salinger, and Robert and Roger Salinger; Sargent and Mrs. Sargent; Shurtleff, Mrs. Shurtleff, and Merrill Shurtleff; Strong and Mrs. Strong; Thompson (W. S.) ; Weston, Mrs. Weston, and Elizabeth and Florence Weston. This makes 53% of the class back, better than the average, but far below 'B7's wonderful record. We can do better.

Headquarters were at South Fayerweather— a most comfortable dormitory, with a good lawn, where there was always a reuning group.

Saturday morning brought the most delightful event of the reunion—the visit to Dick Hall's House. We gathered there at, ten o'clock, and, after a welcome by Mrs. Hall and Eke, divided into small groups and inspected this wonderful memorial from top to bottom.

Saturday evening the ladies dined together at the Green Lantern and attended the musical show, while the men held their reunion dinner at the Commons. Shurtleff was toastmaster, and Libby, Barton, Baldwin, Hall, Coombs, McDulfee, and the Secretary were the speakers.

Sunday came the picnic at Mel Adams Cabin, and lowering skies were no interruption to a thoroughly good time. Mr. Monahan served us a delicious lunch, and Baldwin gave us a talk on bird morals. These were the distinctive class features. We attended and enjoyed the general exercises, and spent a good deal of time around headquarters renewing and strengthening the old ties. This seemed to be considered the best reunion yet. A detailed account will be sent to the class members.

ARTHUR M. STRONG, Secretary.

CLASS' OF 1907

The Twentieth Reunion was unanimously voted a complete success by all present, including seventy-three (73) men, thirty-nine (39) wives, and twelve (12) children. The headquarters were at Wheeler Hall, which was an excellent place, with the opportunity of sitting out in spare moments under the trees. Weather conditions were ideal.

By Friday evening, a large group had arrived, so that the opening dance in the Young Men's Club Hall, over the Hanover post-ofßce, was a great success. It gave the opportunity of getting acquainted, to those who had not often been back to the reunions. Excellent music was provided by the "Green Serenaders." During the evening, Pat Hathaway led the singing of the old songs, winding up with "Onward Christian Soldiers," syncopated as in the days of old.

Saturday was a glorious, "bright, cool day. There were more arrivals. There was much visiting and walking around to see the great improvements in the College plant, and the development of homes, in the different directions, for members of the faculty. Almost every one inspected Dick Hall's House. This was a rare privilege to those attending the 1927 Commencement. This gift, the atmosphere prevading it, the personal greetings from Mr. and Mrs. Hall, its beauty and completeness, command powers of expressions beyond us. It was truly a thrilling experience to visit Dick Hall's House. It seemed to exceed perfection in every detail. The reception of President and Mrs. Hopkins in their new home was most enjoyable, because of their hospitality and the beauty of the house and grounds.

In the evening, an excellent dinner was served in the cafeteria of College Hall, where twenty years ago we played pool and billiards. Jim O'Neill presided most effectively for the program after dinner. While all stood, the Secretary read the names of the forty-one men who had died while in College and since then.

It was arranged that proper recognition be given to the memorial for "Nick," which is being built at Peckett's on Sugar Hill; for the memorial gift to the College of Mr. and Mrs. Parkhurst for their son, Wilder; for the gift of Mr. and Mrs. E: K. Hall; and recognition of the President's splendid capacity for leadership.

Jim called on every one to- stand, and then for those to sit down as they had attended four, three, two, one, and not any of the reunions. This left a group of eight or ten on their feet, to whom he said, "You ought to be ashamed of yourselves." This promptly brought an expression from Sam Barnes, which indicated in no uncertain terms, his strong objections for such "unfair" treatment. He said that Jim O'Neill was greatly changed since graduation, and that he would not take further time but would settle with Jim outside. Many of them did not know that Sam was such an actor, and if he had not made millions in the cement and lumber business, he might have done it on the stage.

Short talks were made by Leavitt, who has been abroad practically all the time since graduation, mostly in Turkey, by Pat Hathaway about the Dartmouth Club in New York city, of which he is president, by Judge McLane about the Alumni Fund, by Rip Heneage about athletics, and by Harry Wellman about the personnel work he has been doing among the undergraduates. The meeting adjourned after singing Harry Wellman's music to Richard Hovey's "Men of Dartmouth."

The wives attended the "1927 Revue," presented by the Dartmouth Players in Webster Hall.

Sunday, the day was spent at Lake Tarleton Club, at Pike, N. H. Although lowery and somewhat rainy some of the time, it perhaps added to the enjoyment of the occasion, because it kept the crowd together in the spacious lounge of the Club. An exceptionally good luncheon was served.

In the afternoon seventeen (17) entered the competition for class golf championship. The "would be" champions were: Allan Brown, Phil Chase, Crick Crocker, Norman Cushman, Ernest Foley, Rip Heneage, Knight, Lane, Jim Reilly, Ted Richardson, Bill Smart, Tate, Woodworth, Wyman, Stevens.

All started at the same time from the first hole, the eliminations taking place after each hole was played. At the first hole, those over eight retired, at the second those over seven, the third those over five, the fourth those over seven, the sixith those over six strokes. The seventh tee found Bill Smart, Dick Lane, and Crocker remaining. Crick retired, after hitting his second out ©f bounds. The nervous strain was terrible on Dick and Bill. They finally halved the hole in sevens, and Bill Smart won the crown and incidentally one dozen golf balls, on the eighth green.

On Monday, the class led the parade to the Memorial Field for the baseball game, when through some slip-up (we hope not Harry Heneage's) the Vanderbilt team did not arrive, and the game was postponed until afternoon.

Many departed during the day on Monday, or had left on Sunday. Unfortunately they missed what many regarded as the best features of Commencement. The first of these was the wonderfully good program of the Musical Clubs on Monday evening, also the Commencement Ball, and the Commencement exercises on Tuesday.

Those present at the reunion were as follows : Andrews, Walter, and wife; Ahern, Wm. J., and wife; Barnes, S. L., and wife; Bartlett, James A.; Black, D. L.; Blaisdell, J. H., and wife; Brooks, Eugene C., and wife; Brown, Allan, and wife; Brown, Ray; Chase, P. H., and wife; Coburn, J. M.; Crocker, J. F.; Cushman, Norman, and wife; Davis, N.

C. P. WOODWORTH, . Secretary.

CLASS OF 1912

1912's BIG PARADE is now a memoryand from all reports one of the happiest in the recollections of the members of our class who were fortunate enough to be present.

Costumes consisting of slip-on sweaters in a special green design with golf hose to match, a green tie, cane, and a green baret hat made a most impressive group, worn by the men, ladies, and children.

The 1912 dance held at the Gymnasium was fully attended, and a most enjoyable evening until after twelve midnight. On Saturday morning 1912 held the center of the stage in a well organized parade around the campus, ending in the class picture in front of Dartmouth Hall. In the evening the ladies attended the Commencement show, while the men held forth at the class dinner at the Hanover Inn.

Sunday morning, after memorial services conducted by Father Brennock and the placing of a wreath at the resting place of Doctor Tucker, the entire class left Hanover for the Lebanon Country Club, where Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lewis had arranged every detail for the enjoyment of a most delightful picnic. This event had been scheduled to end about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but most of those present were still there at seven in the evening.

Monday morning after a parade to the Oval for the baseball game with Vanderbilt (which didn't materialize) the 1912 costume could be seen all over Hanover—on the golf links, at the Dick Hall House, all around the campus, and sitting in front of Hitchcock Hall loafing and playing bridge.

Tuesday with the alumni luncheon at the Gymnasium ended the reunion, and the time for parting greetings had arrived. The following is a list of those present. They will spread the story of the happy event to those who were unable to be with us, and the hope that for our next BIG PARADE in 1932 our ranks will be entirely filled: Wally Jones, Randy Burns, Manuel Garcia, Les and Mrs. Snow, Carl and Mrs. Rollins, Dutch Mahlstedt, King Cole, Buster Kennedy, Windy Gale, Louis Thomas, Mort and Mrs. Kyle, Dutch and Mrs. Waterbury, Caesar Young, Jim and Mrs. Steen, Scott Rogers, Sonny and Mrs. Buell, Rollie and Mrs. Linscott, Jim and Mrs. Erwin, Ralph and Mrs. Baker, Tex and Mrs. Morris, Jirti and Mrs. Powers, Chip and IVlrs. Farrington, Gee and Mrs. Bullard, Doc and Mrs. Burnham, Ralph and Mrs. Pettingell, Henry and Mrs. Van Dyne, Walter and Mrs. Thomas, Fletch and Mrs. Clark, Blondy and Mrs. Stearns, Hutch and Mrs. Biery, Dick Remsen, Queechie French, Husky Farnum, Ed and Mrs. Mitchell, Lyme Armes, Mert Baker, Bill Baxter, Joe and Mrs. Boylan, Fred and Mrs. Day, Ed and Mrs. Daley, Roy and Mrs. Lewis, Doc and Mrs. O'Connor, Pike and Mrs. Childs, Bug and Mrs. Knight, Bos and Mrs. Geller, Tom Brennock, Doc and Mrs. Worcester, Ben and Mrs. Adams, Taber and Mrs. Taber, Ty and Mrs. Cobb, Connie and Mrs. Snow, Dutch Viets, Doc Kinne, Unc and Mrs. Bellows, Stan and Mrs. Weld, Jack Cronin, Hap Wanner, Louis and Mrs. Ekstrom, Jack and Mrs. Orr, Hug and Mrs. Lena, Glad and Mrs. Nead, Jimmie Oneal, Chet and Mrs. Gilbert, Warren Bruner, Cap and Mrs. Allen, Harry McCaffrey, A 1 Eiseman, Jogger Elcock, Jim and Mrs. Worton, Bill Butler, Sid and Mrs. Clark, Joe Doyle, Maurice Hedlund, Lieut, and Mrs. Colburn, Guy and Mrs. Swenson, Manvel Whittemore, Bud and Mrs. Hoban, Ray and Mrs. Cabot, Grif Griffin, Pud Pond, Guy and Mrs. Lewis.

A. M. GARCIA, Secretary.

CLASS OF 1917

"You sure did miss a good time" seems to be the howl of the mob of one hundred men and sixty women which attended our Tenth Reunion. It's a mean trick to rub it in when many of the unfortunates would have given their shirts had they been able to make the grade. However, there you are and in retrospect it seems only reasonable that those who were able to be there should gloat over their good fortune.

Four days of perfect weather followed by three days of the same at Whitefield is the weather report. True enough, it did try to break the spell on Sunday, but Old Sol remembered his many inconsiderate acts during reunion days gone by, and he had Jupe Pluvius staggering at the end of their battle on that day.

Some time later on you will be given a roster of those who were there. We're riot paid for this article by the word so we'll be economical with the space. Suffice it to say that the crowd was representative in every way except as far as the West is concerned. Jim Rube! of Chicago walked off with the attractive water set which had been donated by Hi Croall as a long distance prize. (You all remember how generous Hi always was?) That gives you some idea of the traveling radius. No children put in an appearance save for Arch Gile's daughter, Joyeuse, but she was already on the premises so she was the "children."

Friday forenoon the Rolls-Royces began to line up in front of Topliff, and by nightfall we were all fearful of the fact that the Police Force would take some tickets from his pocket and make life miserable for the motorists. However, some well-placed influence did the trick and w.e were unmolested. How scornful these Seventeeners seem to be of railroad transportation ! ! It was nothing but motors—or should we say hacks? During Friday afternoon it was largely a case of "Well, of all people—," "For Heaven's sake! When did you get in ?" "Hi"—"Hello, you big bum"—or maybe now and then when two men really knew each other's name you'd hear a sensible greeting such as"Well, if it isn't Captain Trenholm alighting from his Spirit of Baltimore! !!" At five o'clock (as per schedule) the crowd began to edge toward Robinson Hall where tea and dancing were served until a little after seven. After they'd all had a rest and something more substantial to eat plus a few more "Well, of all people, etc., etc., etc.," they returned to Robinson about ten o'clock for more dancing. If. memory serves correctly (and you needn't smile 'cause your memory's none too good either— sometimes) the dance broke up at about one o'clock. That was after a good time had been had by all. Are we right or are we wrong ?

As per schedule and as per request and any other "as pers" you want, Saturday broke fair and furious. Everybody wanted one of the costumes and one of the reports at once. Never again will we try a stunt like that. Those buzzards would stand there blocking the alley trying to read the report with one hand while they held out the other mitt to receive trou, shirt or what have you? They'd come trooping back in fifteen minutes to say that the trou were large, the shirt was small and that they hadn't seen anything of the hat they were supposed to have received. Of course, it was flattering to the Secretary to have them so engrossed in the report that they paid no attention to what they were doing but just the same it was rotten management. That kept up all day long as far as the new arrivals were concerned. The oldtimers—meaning those who had arrived way back there during Friday—had made up foursomes at bridge or golf and were hard at it. This optional feature of the program for Saturday seemed to work out very well indeed as it gave the men a splendid chance to roam around and get acquainted. (Subsequent committees please note!)

With the sun fairly high in the heavens even if there was no daylight saving, the class assembled on the steps of old Culver Hall for the reunion picture at seven o'clock. After whipping a few of the unruly delegates into their places old man White's assistant snapped the trigger in spite of the fact that several were missing, Holden was moving, Sanborn was just starting to sound off, and Thielscher was without a uniform. The Pantheon de la Guerre can't hold a candle to that masterpiece of group artistry. Get a copy and see for yourself.

This done the women were hustled over to the Green Lantern Tea Room for dinner. (Yes, Sir, that's one of them newfangled eatin' places the boys flock to, and the girls declare after eating a delicious chicken dinner that they can easily understand why the boys go there.) Each girl, by the way, had a ticket for the Dramatic Club performance firmly clutched in her hands 'cause that's where they went after they had eaten. The boys, on the other hand, congregated at the Senior Fence,—a few adorning those rails for the first time—and out broke a Hum(?). Several of the boys (names given on request) did their best to distract Joe Myer's attention but it was futile. We had our hum and by that time we were all well pleased with the idea of adjourning to the Commons for our banquet. It was darn well served and darn well cooked, and we had music by the orchestra which we had engaged for the entire reunion. This orchestra, by the way, went whither we did, and it certainly lent color to our ensembles. After the dinner Bill Sewall got up and called the gang to order. (No, it's a fact, he really did !!) He appointed a nominating committee consisting of Win Scudder, Buck Stewart and George Currier and they were instructed to retire and prepare a slate for the ensuing five years. After several consultations the committee were .finally convinced that no old officers would consent to repeat so they prepared a brand new list which was elected as recommended. Don Aldrich (D.D.) was made president, Don Brooks was made treasurer, Sam White (bless his dear heart!!!) was made secretary, Hunk Stillman replaces George Gregory, and Butch Sherman was made class editor. Speeches were then called for from the retiring and from the entering officers. Don Aldrich's was easily the best and it's a shame that the gang had forgotten that the retiring secretary had hardly learned how to write so how could he be expected to speak. However, silk hats were crushed but no lives were lost so we suppose that all's,well. After the dinner several sightseeing parties were organized but no detailed reports have been submitted.

With some difficulty the gang arose before noon on Sunday. Many of the class wanted to hear Don Aldrich deliver the Baccalaureate Sermon in the Chapel. How many were successful in wedging into that edifice we do not know, but some of them made the grade, and were well repaid for their efforts. It was threatening rain during the morning but in spite of it many of the crowd had started for Woodstock. By noontime practically the entire reunioning crowd had assembled at the Golf Club in Woodstock and were well into the middle of lunch which was served there. There's a neat little eighteen-hole course there at Woodstock and the niblick hounds were on their way as soon as they could strip for action. Those links were covered.by a seething mass of toilers over which hung a blue mist of dissensions, howls, and naughty words. Every now and then a raucous "Fore" would rend the air, and the porch enthusiasts would duck in unison. Again, it is comforting to report that there were no casualties except possibly from hunger. However, such unfortunates were brought back to life with a vengeance when they reached the Woodstock Inn for dinner. Incidentally it should be remarked here that the Woodstock trip was undoubtedly the high point of the Reunion. Everybody seemed to have a whale of a good time and they want to go there during the Fifteenth. After dinner the gang hustled back to the Nugget Theatre for the sacred concert.

Peanuts to the right of 'them, peanuts to the left of them, etc., etc., seemed to have the girls in a state of nervous collapse. The poorer shots in the audience nearly caused a boom in the glass eye market. We say "nearly," but it was too close to be funny. An undergraduate trio of modern harmony artists (you know, these minors that make such a hit) had been engaged, and Sherm Smith had assembled a wonderful collection of lantern slides which he had had made from snapshots. Between these two items of entertainment plus a little of our own campus stuff and Harry Worthington with a clog dance, provided two hours of darn good fun.

Some of the gang had slipped out of town Sunday night but even so there was a healthy representation on hand for the parade to the ball game Monday morning. Even though they didn't play the game until the afternoon (Vanderbilt, the opponents, had been delayed) there was a lot of fun, and the crowd broke up reluctantly. Monday afternoon the "Goodbyes" started in earnest and we ourselves pulled out of town about five o'clock headed for Whitefield and a rest. Several of the men and their wives stayed for the ball that evening and for the Commencement exercises the next morning. Those who did stay until Tuesday were amply rewarded for they had the tremendous satisfaction of seeing an honorary Doctorate of Divinity bestowed by the college upon our own Don Aldrich. Seldom if ever has any college given so young a man such an honor. We'd like to repeat President Hopkins' statement made to us in, regard to Don but inasmuch as we didn't take it down verbatim we're not going to risk guess work. Anyway, it's safe to say that Don is justifiably popular in Hanover and his success merited his reward.

Whitefield was a howling success in one way and a disappointment in another. Those who went there found a veritable garden spot and enjoyed several days of good golf and wonderful weather. However, all the time they kept wishing that more of the crowd had made an effort to take in this post-reunion party. For purposes of record, be it stated here that anybody who plans to attend the Fifteenth should by all means plan to attend the post-reunion party irrespective of where it is held. It's a marvelous innovation and it's easy to understand the enthusiasm which other classes have for it.

JOHN W. WHITE, Secretary.

NECROLOGY CLASS OF 1872

William Henry Galbraith died at his home near Santa Cruz, Cal., Tune 6, 1927, of heart failure, as the result of undue exertion. He was ill about one month. On April 30 he wrote to a classmate: "Am feeling well, though thinner than formerly; more as I was in college days, rather have it so than the reverse."

"Henry," as he was known in school and college, was born February S, 1849, in the village of Passumpsic, town of Barnet, Caledonia county, Vt.\

His father, Walter Galbraith, was born in this country of Scotch parents, who came from Balfron, Scotland, to Barnet, Vt., soon after the Revolution and settled on a grant of land taken up by ah ancestor before that war. His mother was of Scotch and English blood of the Stuart and Blanchard families.

As a boy Henry acquired a fondness for agricultural and out-of-door life on the farm of his maternal grandfather Stuart in Hardwick, Vt., and this taste tended to shape his course in later years. He was gifted with a fine physique, six feet two inches in height and with other dimensions to match. From academy days the distinguishing feature of his countenance was his luxuriant Dundreary beard, which he conservatively carried to the end.

He was well prepared for college at St. Johnsbury (Vt.) Academy by Henry Clay Ide of Dartmouth class of '66, who later became governor of the Phillipines and U. S. minister to Spain.

Henry was one of a delegation of seven who in 1868 entered college from that academy without conditions, became members' of the A K E fraternity, and graduated with honors. Henry was assigned to the affirmative of a political disputation in which he was opposed to Fowler at the Commencement exercises at graduation. Although entitled to membership, he did not formally join the B K society. In college as in the Academy he was fond of athletics, and excelled particularly in "the manly art of self-defense" and in the "football rushes" of that date, in both of which he was conspicuous. In accordance with the custom of that time he taught school during the winters on Cape Cod, and added to his physical vigor and practical experience by fishing trips with his classmate Stackpole off Georges Banks.

After graduation he received an assignment by Prof. Hitchcock, then state geologist of New Hampshire, as one of a party of the graduating class of that year to gather data and establish signals for a geological survey, report, and map of the White Mountains.

After completion of this assignment he was made principal of the high school at St. Johnsbury, Vt., where he remained for two years. The following years he devoted himself to the study of law under the tutelage of Mr. H. C. Ide, who had then become an active member of the law firm of Belden and Ide, at St. Johnsbury. He continued his law studies and engaged in business until the fall of 1876, when he went to California. There he chose to lay aside his legal studies and dedicate his more strenuous years to the public as an educator and in political service. To that end he became principal of certain minor schools until, his abilities recognized in his new home, he was made viceprincipal of the only high school in Oakland. Later he became principal of the Santa Cruz High School, and held that position until he was elected to the California Assembly in 1890.

He was an ardent and enthusiastic Republican, and for many years served on the Republican County Central Committee.

Subsequently to his service in the California Assembly he retired to the ranch which he had made ready for his declining years, and which he named Kilfasset after the Galbraith ancestral home in Scotland. This ranch was delightfully located among the foot hills in the Happy Valley section near Santa Cruz. His vineyards and orchards were recently declared to be among the finest, and also to excel in quality of apricots. The loftiest part of his ranch presents a view of the Ben Lomond range on one side and of the Loma Prieta range on the other, both reaching down to the Pacific; while from one point on the ranch the whole half moon of the Bay of Monterey is visible. These views furnished him a constant source of delight. The mild, even air of the ranch suited his nature and the views from the Ijill-tops gave him inspiration. Here he pursued those studies which his life-work had opened to him. His evenings were spent in rest after his out-of- door activities of the daytime. During this rest he refreshed his mind and kept his interest active by reading, and by study of scientific, political, and religious subjects. He also kept in close touch with the current news and occurrences of the times.

While not a member, in past years he was a regular attendant at the services of the Congregational church. In the community in which he lived it was stated by the leading publication that "he had a brilliant intellect and many will miss his companionship. He was especially loyal to his friends."

His mind was active to the end; in his last day he discussed Col. Lindbergh's marvelous trip to Paris and the opportunity now presented to study further the interesting problems of our present life; and in his feeble and expiring breath he seemed to be dwelling upon the soul as a subject then particularly interesting to him.

In his last letter to the class secretary, dated April 30, 1927, after affectionate comments on living classmates he wrote, "Poor Tuttle! So another real gem of our class is through with his career upon this planet and has gone— where? That question will never down, no matter what faith or belief or desire we may cherish. Every increase in the power of the lens ought to cause a corresponding increase in expectation of wonders to be unfolded to us in a future life with an eternity of the past and that of the future, all to be open for our everlasting study and pleasure. No wonder it was said, 'The undevout astronomer is mad.' "

William Henry Galbraith was married May 28, 1879, to Susan McLeod Dexter, a cultured and refined woman, who preceded him in death on March IS, 1925. Her obituary was published in the May number of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE, 1925, at page 607.

He is survived by two sisters: Mrs. F. J. Masters, who prior to her marriage was a missionary in China and who now resides at 1201 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, Cal., and Miss Alma T. Galbraith, who has been prominent in educational work as a teacher and otherwise in Oakland and Santa Cruz, Cal., and who now resides at 2108 Eunice St., Berkeley, Cal.

CLASS OF 1873

Francis Edward Clark 'was born September 12, 1851, at Aylmer, P. Q. He was the son of Charles Carey Symmes and Lydia (Clark) Symmes. His father's occupation was that of civil engineer and timber locater, who, although a New England man, was at the time of his decease' temporarily at work in his profession in Canada. There, while ministering to immigrants suffering from cholera, he contracted the disease himself, and died. When young Francis was only seven years old, his mother also died.

The little boy was then adopted by an uncle, Rev. Edward W. Clark, Dartmouth College 1844, and during the Civil War chaplain of the 47th Regiment of Volunteers from Massachusetts. Mrs. Harriet Phillips Clark, his adopted mother, was related to the Phillips family, which has had so many eminent people in its genealogy, a name honored in the two great preparatory schools, Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Andover Academy.

Francis fitted for college at Kimball Union Academy, of which C. S. Richards, Dartmouth 1835, was principal.

His four years at college, in the classical department, were years of a careful student and of delightful comradeship. From beginning to end he was an earnest, sane, practical Christian man, and always popular with all the men of the class. He was a member of Psi Upsilon fraternity, and of the Theological and Missionary Society, which later became the Young Men's Christian Association.

During most of his course he and E. H. Jones roomed together, the two having previously been classmates at Kimball Union Academy. During his freshman winter he taught the district school in Topsfield, Mass., and during sophomore winter in Boxford, Mass., earning $450 in this and other ways toward his college expenses.

He was one of the six competitors of the junior class for the Lockwood oratorical prizes, dividing with C. B. Evans the first prize. The beginning of his aptitude for writing occurred during college days. Even then his facile pen produced occasional articles for papers and magazines, and he was one of the editors of The Dartmouth, the college monthly.

On the Commencement program, he had a part because of his scholarly standing, speaking on the affirmative of the question, "Ought Nations to be Governed by the Same Moral Laws as Individuals," a doctrine which with all his heart he upheld throughout his life. From college he graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, wearing with joy the key which had been his father's in the days before him.

His three years of preparation for his chosen profession, the ministry, were spent at Andover Theological Seminary, then in the very height of its prosperity. His roommate was S. W. Adriance of his old college class. He had accepted a unanimous call to the pastorate of the Williston Congregational church of Portland, Me., even before his graduation in the summer of 1876, and at once began his ministerial labors, which from the first were markedly successful.

The people of that beautiful residential section of Portland attended his church services in such numbers that it was soon necessary to erect a larger structure, and the beautiful brick edifice, with granite trimmings, took the place of the small frame chapel.

It was during this pastorate that, becoming ardently desirous of making the young men and women efficient Christian workers, after much thought, he gathered a few of those in his church together, and read to them the plan of the new society which he had thought out. There and then, on February 2, 1881, was the first Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor organized. The descriptions of this form of church work among the young in religious papers brought so many requests for further information, that he was kept busy writing other articles.

The movement grew with great rapidity, so that during his second pastorate, over the Phillips Congregational church of Boston, his correspondence had become so heavy that he felt that he must devote his entire time to this special work. After four years with the Phillips Congregational church, he resigned his pastorate, and from that day until his death he gave his time, his thought, his energy, without measure, to the new movement.

Five times has he journeyed around the world, speaking everywhere, through interpreters, in many languages. Often he was in peril of bandits, still oftener laid low with disease. His devoted wife was his companion everywhere and became also a favorite speaker at conventions.

After thirty-eight years of intense activity as president of the great society, he resigned, his resignation being read at the International Convention in Portland, Oregon, on July 2, 1925. As a testimonial to his great service to the world and a proof of their grateful and loving devotion, thousands in all parts contributed toward a recognition fund of $lOO,OOO, which was also a retirement fund for Dr. Clark and his wife.

But failing health did not permit him long to enjoy repose, and on May 26, 1927, he died at his home in Newton, Mass. The day before his death he sank into a coma, from which he did not recover. The members of his family were with him during the last few days of his illness. Messages of sympathy were sent from thousands, President and Mrs. Coolidge among them.

The funeral services were held in the Eliot Congregational church, Newton, on Saturday, May 28, at 2 P. M., and Dr. Daniel A. Poling, pastor of the Marble Collegiate church of New York, and Dr. Clark's successor as president of the World Christian Endeavor Union, officiated and pronounced a fitting eulogy.

Among the many friends who were present were seven members of his college class, Bradley, Dunlap, Hadley, C. H. Jones, Ladd, Phelps, and Adriance. A beautiful wreath of laurel leaves, fastened with ribbon of royal purple, was sent by the class of 1873.

He married, October 3, 1876, Miss Harriet Elizabeth Clark of Andover, Mass. Mrs. Clark survives her husband, and they have had five children, one of whom, Faith Phillips, died in infancy. Maude Williston, the oldest child, married, April 21, 1910, William Francis Chase, who is with R. L. Day and Company, bankers, of Boston. Professor Eugene Francis Clark, Dartmouth 1901, is secretary of Dartmouth College. Harold Symmes Clark re headmaster of a school in New Jersey; and Sydney Aylmer Clark is in the real estate business in Boston. There are also several grandchildren.

Dr. Clark was the author of many books, among which may be mentioned: "Our Vacations," "The Children and The Church," "Our Business Boys," "Looking Out on Life," "Danger Signals," "Christian Endeavor Saints," "Our Journey Around the World," "The Mossback Correspondence," "Fellow Travelers," "The Everlasting Arms," "The Great Secret," "World-Wide Endeavor," "Old Lanterns for New Paths," "A New Way Around an Old World," "Framing the Church of the Future," and "Christian Endeavor Manual."

It is fitting, in closing this sketch of his life, to quote the words of President Coolidge: "The Christian Endeavor societies, founded by him and now forming a union that girdles the globe, will be an active and lasting memorial to his earnest and unselfish work. I knew him as a friend whose high character I respected and whose opinion I was always glad to have. There will be mourning in every part of the religious world over the passing of Dr. Clark, whose life was consecrated to the service of God."

CLASS OF 1901

The sudden passing of Irving "Cap" French was a shock to all his friends. Death followed a severe heart attack, which occurred April 18, 1927, while he was attending a ball game. He died shortly after in the office of Dr. Harrj' Goodall '9B. Cap French, as he was affectionately known to all Dartmouth men as well as to his business associates, was born March 5, 1875, at Johnson, Vt., the son of Rev. George Henry (Dartmouth 1863) and Fannie E. (Kilburn) French, and prepared for college at Phillips Andover Academy, where his capacity for leadership was early exhibited and where he captained the baseball team in his senior year. Entering Dartmouth in the fall of 1897, he at once won a high place for himself in the estimation of the undergraduate body. He made the baseball team freshman year, and continued to play short stop for the four years, serving as captain his senior year. Following graduation he returned to Hanover as graduate manager of athletics, while taking his degree from the Tuck School. In 1903 he became associated with the advertising firm of N. W. Ayer and Son of Philadelphia, where he remained several years. Later he was connected with the Boston Herald, and then became New England manager for the McCall Company, which position he held until his death. For a number of years Irving French was a member of the Athletic Council of the College, a part of the time as president of that body, and was one of the men most influential in bringing about a new era in Dartmouth athletics. He was from 1913 to 1915 a member of the Alumni Council, and in addition had served as class agent for 1901 for the Alumni Fund on the Tucker Foundation since its inception. His work in this connection was noted and commented upon by other class agents and those in charge of the collection of this fund. During his college course he was a member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity and the Sphinx senior society.

The funeral services were held in the First Congregational church in Newton Center, Mass., and were largely attended, including 28 men from the class of 1901. President Hopkins delivered the eulogy, and in his tribute said: "There has gone from the woodland of friendship a towering tree. _ The book of life is closed, but the book of influence is not closed. It is open that all may read. . . . As a boy and man Irving was always thoughtful and friendly. Friendship to him was a responsibility of giving to others. He was a giver and never a selfseeker." What an apt and fitting tribute! Cap French was one of the outstanding men of 1901. The work that he did for the class and for Dartmouth was constant and invaluable, and came from his deep love for his classmates and his still deeper love for Dartmouth College.

This love was a part of his very life and every-day thought. His kindly smile, his broad sympathy, and his constant activity in all Dartmouth affairs made him an outstanding alumnus of the whole Dartmouth brotherhood. Many men are valuable and very active in their class associations, but Irving was active in all things which had to do with the welfare of the College. His personality was so fascinating and his companionship so wonderful that the picture of him remains ever in one's mind. Not many know of the many things which Irving French did for men who went to college after he graduated. His financial help was only a part of the assistance that he rendered. His shrewd advice and his continued interest in them made his position almost that of a kindly father. Few men are as widely known and respected by their fellow workers as was Cap French. This was evidenced by the type and number of men in attendance at his funeral. Irving French was a true friend in all that the name implies. His rugged honesty, his sincerity, and his never ending helpfulness to those in need stand out today clearer than ever. To know him was to love him. His memory will be cherished as a lovable, generous, and steadfast friend, and he will be missed by us all. His place, however, will not be filled, because to all that knew him, Cap French will always live.

Dr. Timothy Joseph Shanahan, one of the most prominent specialists in the treatment of ear, nose, and throat in the East, died suddenly at his home, 88 College Ave., West Somerville, Mass., May 10, 1927. He had attended to his usual daily duties, performing three .mayor operations, and had returned home when stricken. Dr. Cholerton, a next-door neighbor, was called but Tim died just as he was entering the door. Tim Shanahan entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1899, transferring from Fordham College. He quickly found his place in the ranks of 1901, and from that day was regarded as' one of us. •

With his jovial disposition, sunny smile, cheery greeting, and who'.e-hearted friendship, he endeared himself to all. His musical ability was remarkable, and many will recall with pleasure the evenings in the parlor of the old hotel when Tim would pound out rag-time frcm that ancient piano. If memory serves us correctly, there was a standing offer to play any song or tune in rag-time, and although often challenged, we never heard of his beingstumped. Always good company, the stories told in his inimitable way and his contagious laugh will long be remembered. He will be missed at 1901 meetings, for he was a constant attendant when professional duties allowed.

Tim Shanahan's love for Dartmouth and 1901 was very great, and those who had the pleasure of his intimate acquaintance can attest to his true friendship. Tim Shanahan never posed. His support of all good things was liberal and generous.

Dr. Shanahan was born in Charlestown, Mass., December 22, 1878, the eldest son of William and Mary (Savage) Shanahan. After graduation from Dartmouth, he entered Harvard Medical School, and received his degree there in 190 S. Following graduation he entered hospital service at Carney Hospital, South Boston. In 1908 he was graduated from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and became resident ear specialist. Later he went to Europe for study in the clinics of Vienna, Berlin, Paris, and London, and then returned to Boston for practice. For several years his office was at 419 Boylstcn St. He was highly rated in medical circles for his outstanding abilities in his profession. His constant charity endeared him to many.

Dr. Shanahan was a member of the Somerville Medical Society, Massachusetts Medical Society, Carney Hospital Alumni, New England Oto-laryngological Society, American Academy of Opthalmology and Oto-laryngology American Medical Association, a fellow in the American College of Surgeons, the Aesculapian Club, and a member of Mt. Benedict Council, Knights of Columbus.

The funeral service was held May 13 at St. Clement's church, West Somerville, Mass., and was largely attended. Delegations were present from the medical organizations of which he was a member, nurses frcm the various hospitals with whom he had worked were in the auditorium, and a delegation from the class of 1901 was in attendance. Gene Maguire acted as one cf the active bearers. The interment was at St. Paul's Cemetery, Arlington. He is survived by his widow, Angela (Rynne) Shanahan, to whom he was married June 8, 1910, and a daughter Cecile, also by two brothers.

George Gerhard Walker died in Asheville, N. C., April 24, 1927, of tuberculosis.

He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, April 30, 1899, his parents being Fred G. and Elizabeth (Baum) Walker. After completing the Cleveland grade schools, he attended Ohio Military School, one year, and then the University School, Cleveland, three years, where he graduated in 1917.

George married Miss Antoinette Montanye of New York city in Mount Vernon, N. Y., August 6, 1920.

Deciding to follow his father's profession of engineering, he entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology the fall after receiving his degree at Hanover, and was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in June, 1923. He then became connected with the Cleveland Union Terminal Company, and later was for about six months in the employ of the Sam W. Emerson Construction Company of Cleveland. It was for the latter company that he was working when he was first taken ill. The long, hard hours of a young engineer's lot and the severe weather of the winter of 1923-24 broke his health, and he was forced to give up his work in the spring of 1924.

In the following September he and Mrs. Walker moved to Asheville,'where George began his long, hard effort to win back his health. He progressed well, but had two serious setbacks during the ensuing two and one-half years. In March of this year he was taken wkh a paralytic stroke, which proved too much for him, and six weeks later his battle ended.

His funeral was held at his parents' home in Cleveland April 27. His body was placed in the Lakewood Mausoleum, Lakewood, Ohio. Besides his widow and his parents, George is survived by a sister, Mrs. A. L. Jordan.

Lowell French Stoner lost his life in a sailing accident on Long Island Sound in the vicinity of Port Washington, L. 1., June 5, 1927.

Together with two Yale friends, Basil Pillard and Robert Terrill, Lowell had been on a day's cruise up the Sound in their sloop, and the three men were returning to their craft's anchorage in the Manhasset Yacht Club basin when the tragedy occurred. They were making a tack close into the wind when a sudden storm of rain and a sixty mile wind struck them. Five minutes before the skies had been clear and warm, and when the storm broke, the wind quickly veered at right angles to the direction from which it had been blowing. Neither Lowell nor his companions had an opportunity to release the sheet ropes and the craft swiftly heeled far over, nearly capsizing, the seas poured in over the rail and the sloop sank almost immediately, although it had been on the waters of the Sound for nearly thirty years and had been considered unsinkable. The three men were plunged into the water, which had been lashed to fury by the gale, and only Pillard was rescued. He was picked up in a dazed and exhausted condition by a party on a schooner which had been some distance from their sloop when the vessel went down.

Lowell's body was recovered off Roslyn, L. 1., June 27 and the funeral was held at the home of his parents in Short Hills, N. J., June 29. Jack Hubbell, Chuck Moreau, and Bob Wilson represented the class at the service. Lowell's body was placed in a crypt at Rosedale cemetery, West Orange, N. J.

Lowell was born August 1, 1901, in Ashley, Ohio. He was the son of Clarence B. and Lucy (French) Stoner. He received his education in the public schools of Mt. Gilead, Ohio, Cambridge, Mass., Pittsburgh, Pa., and Buffalo, N. Y. He entered Dartmouth College in the fall of 1917 from the Lafayette high school of Buffalo. He was graduated from the College with the class of 1921 and returned to Hanover in the fall of that year to take the second year course at Tuck School, receiving his degree from Tuck School in the spring of 1922. He was a member of the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity.

After leaving Tuck School, Lowell became connected almost immediately with Colgate and Company, whose headquarters are in Jersey City, N. J., and he was still with that firm at the time of his death. He served first with the advertising department, but last winter was transferred to the sales department. At the time of his death he was living at 306 Lexington Ave., New York city.

Besides his parents, Lowell is survived by a sister, Mrs. Robert C. Leggett of Boston, Mass.

One of the last days of Lowell's life was spent in Hanover. He had gone to Montreal June 1 to appoint Canadian selling agents, and on his way back stopped off at the College June 3 and had a long talk with Prof. Harry Wellman, to whom he felt very close.

Lowell's loyalty to Dartmouth and 1921 was very strong, and he had a keen interest and took an active part in all the activities of the College and the class in New York. He was always on hand at the 1921 class dinners, adding in his quiet, modest way to every gathering. He was a member of the Dartmouth College Club of New York.

As an indication of the successful way Lowell was carrying out his life work, we wish to present a tribute to him which was sent to the Secretary by Morris L. Beard, Yale 'O7, who was associated with our classmate in Colgate and Company. It reads as follows :

"It was my very great pleasure to have known Lowell Stoner from the time he left the Tuck School until the unfortunate tragedy which took him away from us on the fifth of June.

"My object in addressing this note to your class secretary is because I feel sure his classmates will be interested in knowing the estimate which a friend placed upon this very unusual and exceptionally promising young man.

"Lowell Stoner came to Colgate and Company at the time when I was assistant advertising manager, with a note from Prof. Harry Wellman of your Tuck School, with the statement that whether we had an opening or not, he hoped we would very carefully consider his friend, not because he was his friend, but because he believed him to be a young man who some day would show most astonishing developments.

"George S. Fowler, Yale 1906, the head of our department, took Lowell Stoner on with the understanding that we had no job for him. In a short time he found a very definite place for himself in services to the advertising department which had never previously been filled by any member of that department.

"Mr. Fowler severed his connections with Colgate and Company in 1925 and I in 1926. During these years I came to know Lowell even better than I did in the days when we were working together. No words can express my high opinion of his unswerving, absolute honesty and integrity. It did not matter whether the point at issue was large or small, always the question that was uppermost in his mind was— is it right—does it state the facts—are these the facts, and if these, are the facts, is this the proper, reasonable, and just remedy?

"Everyone who met him respected his fearless search for truth, and quite unlike most men who are interested in facts, he saw facts and figures not as some abstract things which were apart from life, but thought facts and figures should be made alive. They should be so grouped that from them concrete pictures could be obtained. He was a veritable Babson in embryo.

"All of the foregoing is to entirely omit from consideration his sweet, almost feminine, personal charm. A man in every sense of the word, yet possessing those clean mental, spiritual, and physical qualities which the nation, in fact the world, has so recently found epitomized in our remarkable young Lindbergh.

"I wish I might find words to express my respect for Lowell Stoner, my love for him, and the loss which his going has placed upon my own life and that of our home, not the least of which are three small boys in whose hearts and lives he found a place which was unique not only as an individual but as a playmate and companion."

MEDICAL COLLEGE CLASS OF 1866

Dr. Nathaniel Bryant Coleman died at Twin Lakes, Santa Cruz Cos., Cal., March 3, 1927.

He then resumed his medical studies, and received his degree of M. D. at Dartmouth in the fall of 1865, in the class of 1866.

It has not been possible to obtain a record of his career since graduation. In the General Catalogue of 1880 he was entered as in practice in San Francisco, Cal., and he was later at Montesano, Wash. Since his retirement from active practice over twenty years before his death he had made his home at Los Gatos, Cal. A correspondent there says of him: "He was a very fine gentleman—stood erect and carried himself with unusual dignity. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Presbyterian church. A good man and highly respected citizen."
