CLASS OF 1893

Through the courtesy of Dr. Martyn, the Secretary has a copy of the New EnglandJournal of Medicine containing an extended report of a meeting of the Vermont State Medical Society at which Dr. L. W. Burbank of Cabot took a prominent part in a lively and interesting discussion of rural medieal problems in the Green Mountain state. Dr. W. S. Thayer, president of the American Medical Association, was one of the speakers, and in the course of his remarks paid high tribute to Dr. Burbank, saying, among other things, "He is the type of man that everybody longs for in medicine."

As usual the Lougees of Fryeburg, Maine, are established in St. Petersburg, Fla., for the winter, thus solving in their case and to their satisfaction one of the problems of the rural medical practitioner. The address is 341 Third St., North.

Judging from the letters breathing entire content which we receive from Dr. Frank T. Woodbury of Wakefield, Mass., we should say that a suburban medical practitioner must have about the right location.

The Sullivan County (New Hampshire) Medical Association held its annual meeting recently, and Dr. Henry C. Sanders of Claremont grabbed off no less than four offices, secretary, treasurer, delegate to the New Hampshire Medical Society, and member for Sullivan county of the New Hampshire Medical Defense Committee.

An appreciated number of members of the class put the secretary on their mailing list of holiday greeting cards this Christmas and New Year's; but the one which gave him most pleasure was manufactured artistically by Bill Mann, showing the "last stand" before removal or demolition of Mrs. T. R. Crosby's house where he and I ate our first meal and our last meal and most of those in between during our four years in Hanover. Mrs. Crosby mothered her boarders in a way not to be forgotten, and gave them a healthful diet based on principles handed down by her husband, a distinguished teacher and practitioner of medicine. John Oliver was the presiding student genius of the club during our freshman year, and after his death Guy Fernald succeeded to the post. Either junior or senior year we aspired to the dining club baseball championship, but fell before the prowess of Marm Swett's stalwart boarders and the Rev. B. F. Gustin's swift pitching.
