CLASS OF 1867
As of the class of 1867, the general alumni catalogue gives the names of 44 graduates and 27 non-graduates. Of the graduates, there are three living—Haywood, Lane, and McDavitt; and of the non-graduates only two are known to be living—Frost and Clay. For many years nothing has been heard of two other non-graduates, Skinner and Webster, who are probably not living.
Among those whose names carry the asterisk in the General Catalogue, Horace Goodhue, secretary of the class up to the time of his death, was professor of Greek at Carleton College, Minnesota, for forty years; William Hood was one of the pioneer builders of the Santa Fe Railroad; John N. Irwin was United States minister to Portugal; William A. Ketcham was attorney general f Indiana, and a few years prior to his death was the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic; Elisha Burr Maynard was judge of the Massachusetts Superior Court. There were two other judges in the class Walter H. Sanborn, of the United States Circuit Court, and Robert M. Wallace, chief justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court. John H. Patterson was the founder of the National Cash Register Company.
Rufus C. Haywood lives in Berkeley, Cal. During December last, James A. Townsend '94 called on Mr. Haywood and extended Christmas greetings to him. He has lost the sight of one eye entirely, and the sight of the other is nearly gone, but the treatment he is now having is making a marked improvement and he is hopeful that he will regain more of the sight of that eye. Otherwise, his health is excellent. He and his wife are very much interested in Dartmouth affairs, and chatted with interest about the affairs of the College.
George B. Lane was one of the most active members of the Alumni Association of Seattle, Wash. About three years ago he had a paralytic shock from which he has recovered somewhat, but for the past year he has been confined to his bed for all of the time. Dr. Walter C. Woodward, of the class of '99, called on him early in January.
John J. McDavitt is the father of J. Frank McDavitt '07 (a notice of whose death in January, 1928, appeared in the ALTIMKI MAGAZINE), the uncle of Clarence G. Mc- Davitt 'OO, and the granduncle of Clarence G. McDavitt Jr. '26. His home is in Pompton Lakes, N. J., but during the past winter he has been living in Newtonville with his nephew. He had a severe illness beginning in December, from which he is now recovering.
Of the non-graduates, Frost is living in Brookline, Mass., and Clay at Indian Fields, Ky. As to Skinner and Webster, nothing is known. Skinner was born in Vincennes, Ind.; entered college with the class in 1863, but remained only through sophomore year. Successive secretaries of his class have been unable to locate him, and the efforts of the Alumni Records Office and of the present Secretary of the class have been unsuccessful. Webster entered college from Concord, N. H., during sophomore year, and remained through junior year. The combined efforts of all interested to ascertain his history after leaving college have been without result.
Acting Secretary, 50 Oliver St., Boston
