CLASS OF 1915
For the first time in several years we met the quota allotted the class as our portion of the Alumni Fund, and the efforts which Johnny Mullin and his committee have expended in this direction have been rewarded. Much credit is due those who have made possible the fulfillment of this duty, and it is to be hoped that this is the beginning of an unbroken succession of years when our quota is subscribed 100%.
"Rumors have persisted for some little time regarding the circumstances of the passing of Dave Kinne, but until recently no definite information had been found. Authoritative evidence . has been received, however, indicating that Dave contracted pneumonia and died in the Monticello Hospital, Monticello, N. Y., April 26, 1926. Dave will always be remembered as possessing a brilliant mind and the ability to express his thoughts with clarity and decisiveness. As editor of TheDartmouth our senior year, he utilized this talent wisely, with the result that he exerted a very definite influence on campus opinion.
The New York '15-ers have begun their regular monthly class meetings at the Dartmouth Club. Dick Clarke, John Mullin, Kel Rose, Pete Cannon, Carl Sisk, and Charlie Griffith answered the roll-call, and although the business part of the program was not divulged, it is assumed that ways and means were discussed for bigger and better meetings when the lawn ceases to need attention.
Russ Livermore is usually a regular attendant at all class meetings, but his absence from the first one is justified by the announcement of his marriage on August 2 to Miss Jose- phine Stevens Lanier. We offer congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Livermore, and are happy that another name can be added to the 1915 auxiliary. 192 East 75th St., New York city, is the address.
You might as well have all the New York news in a bunch. The moving picture industry lost a first-class legal authority when Ralph Brown decided to resume general practice as a member of the firm of Rumsey and 44 Wall St. Always interested in the sea, his attention will now be directed toward admiralty and maritime matters.
Fred and Katherine Child motored down on Cape Cod this summer shortly after Fred had been made assistant cashier of the Seaboard National Bank. A worthy promotion, Fred. The Childs decided upon Larchmont as their future place of residence.
Now that the football season is upon us, Johnny Johnson will be seen around these parts again. During the summer his stationery was that of the Port Isabel Company, developers of Point Isabel, port and play- ground of the lower Rio Grande valley, and also of Bayview Citrus Groves, which are described as "Self-Supporting Winter Home- sites." San Antonio, Texas, is the place where all this can be found. Johnny's sales talk on the food values of citrus fruits and homesites should be interesting and convincing.
I consider myself very fortunate, indeed, to have had the pleasure of dining last summer with Arthur Boggs and Mrs. Boggs. They had but recently arrived in the United States on a furlough of eighteen months from their duties in India, and not even a Boston temperature of 90° discouraged them from doing the town. I hope I did not exhaust their patience with questions to which they have undoubtedly been submitted thousands of times since their arrival, but it is not often that you find friends, who are so intent upon their work in a foreign land that the thought of leaving causes homesickness. Suffice it to say, that the hospital of which Arthur is medical supervisor is located in northern India, and the nearest garage six hours away, or is it six hundred miles?. Theirs is an interesting work, and one which surely taxes their ingenuity and patience, as they must educate as well as administer to the medical needs of the community. The Boggs family expects to remain here until next August, and then return to India for another seven years. At present, Arthur is doing clinical work in New York city, and I imagine that Mrs. Boggs and the children find enough to occupy their time.
Recognition of ability and willingness to shoulder responsibility has come to Al Priddy again. The Boston Chamber of Commerce elected Al as their new treasurer.
Met on the street in Boston: Bush Campbell looking prosperous— polite synonym for plump. Business good, plays golf with Eddie Rice. No record of what money changed hands.
Eddie Rice correcting the impression above—too busy to play golf.
John Macintosh still selling wool—business poor but hopeful.
Stu Hill browsing around the Old Corner Book Store—happy in his work as assistant purchasing agent of the Waldorf system. But of most importance is the announcement that Nancy is a member of the house of Hill, and affords Peg and Stu much happiness.
Ev Lamson educating Boston business to the use of Burroughs' Adding Machines. Ev slipped into town unannounced, but he can have all the advertising space he requires, for he admits to reading the alumni news regularly.
Chan Foster looking much better after a long siege in the hospital. Business must be good if he can afford operations. Foster, Willis, and Company have recently opened a branch office in Manchester, N. H., which will make accessible a firm which is well equipped to give assistance to banks, individuals, firms, and corporations in the numerous problems of management. Chan, how- ever, still makes his headquarters in Boston. Mac McCarthy—who is familiarizing himself with the retail department store business at Jordon Marsh Company.
Dooz Lounsberry—with his chest puffed out and that smile which means but one thing, a new boy named John.
By the time this issue of the MAGAZINE is distributed we shall have a pretty good idea of whether or not we enjoyed the Harvard game. Let's hope so. .
