CLASS OF 1899
In a previous issue the rash promise was made of reporting full details of '99's golf- ing record since the reunion in June. These details, however, are in such constant process of accumulation, and differ so widely according to the source of information, that the present record is far from complete. It appears certain that the following members of two generations of '99 golfers were present in Hanover on Saturday, August 3: Judge and Mrs. Brown, Judge and Mrs. Hoban, Mrs. Hoban's two nieces, Tim and Mrs. Lynch, Louis and Mrs. Benezet, Genevieve and Louis Benezet, Jr., Rodney and Mrs. Sanborn, Dave and Mrs. Storrs, Dan and Mrs. Ford, and "Rab" Abbott. No explanation is forthcoming as to why Frank Musgrove failed to show up, or Pa Abbott, or Joe Gannon, or Guy Speare. Perhaps they had located some less "sporty" course where they could roll up a more imposing score. But the most difficult thing to explain is the failure of Benny and Dan themselves to play, though present.
And speaking of golf, Peddie Miller has sent a golf card to Dave Storrs, showing that he played on the Oahu Country Club links, Honolulu, on his way to the Orient. Another one is expected from Japan. Anyway, K. Asakawa has sent Warren Kendal] a clipping from a Tokyo paper which bears a quite recognizable cut of Peddie, and tells, presumably in first-class Japanese, of his arrival. Whether the article tells of Peddie's golf prowess or of his philosophical achievements has not yet been revealed by Professor Asakawa.
The sympathies of the classmates of Professor Gordon Hall Gerould of Princeton go out to him in the loss of his mother, Mrs. Laura E. Gerould, last August. His father, the Rev. Samuel L. Gerould, Dartmouth 1858, died in 1906.
Herb Rogers is now acting as coin box cashier for the New England Telegraph and Telephone Company at their Brookline, Mass., office.
Warren Kendall spent a Sunday this fall with Harry Wason and his family at their home in Atlanta. Mrs. Wason is busy with a large new rock garden; none of your backyard affairs this, but one that is big enough to contain a real pond for ducks. Whether well-bred alligators are also entertained in this aquatic retreat is not certainly stated.
The twentieth annual meeting of the New England Conference of State Federations of Women's Clubs was held at Watch Hill, It. 1., in early October. The retiring chairman was Mrs. Guy E. Speare of Plymouth, N. H.
Two of the seven men chosen by Coach Cohn for the varsity cross-country team are sons of '99—Joe Huckins '31 and Roger Benezet '32. Joe had a mean fall, and the resulting injury to his leg kept him out of the race against Harvard, but he's in shape again now.
The other sons of '99 now in Dartmouth are Bob Dickey '31; Howland Sargeant, Bill Kendall, and Bob Huckins '32; and Theodore Allen '33. Howland Sargeant, with 3.8, ranked among the first three of the freshman class.
Last June 29 the Massachusetts Library Club held its annual meeting at Provincetown. George H. Evans was elected president. He had previously served for many years as treasurer or as vice-president. The club is one of the oldest and most active in the country. It has a membership of about one thousand, publishes a quarterly bulletin, and maintains a scholarship fund for professional library training. George is not the first Somerville librarian to be president of this organization, as Sam Walter Foss was once similarly honored.
Secretary, 41 West Kirke St., Chevy Chase, Md.
