CLASS OF 1893
The unusual experience of lengthening the class roll 35 years after graduation has come to this class this fall. Ellsworth F. Ross, a member of the class in freshman year, has been carried on the class and college records as deceased, but through Dr. George E. Pender the fact that he was alive and in active practice at Harlowton, Montana, was established and the Secretary succeeded in getting in communication with him. Under date of September 20, Dr. Ross wrote: "I have been a country doctor for 33 years and have enjoyed the work. My first ten years were in Wales, Mass., and for 23 years I have been in Montana, for 19 years in this town. I was commissioned first lieutenant, U. S. M. C., October 8, 1918, and served with the Coast Defense Artillery at Fort Casey, Puget Sound, Washington. lam health officer for this county, and have had all the offices I wanted. The Dartmouth football team stopped off here when they went to Washington a few years ago. We have some prominent Dartmouth men in Butte. I remember especially from Dartmouth days, Emerson, Fletcher, Ide, George C. Smith (my roommate), Van Horn, President Bartlett, Professor John K. Lord and Dr. Frost. I shall be pleased, indeed, to get anything from you concerning Dartmouth."
