Class of 1900

The annual 1900 round-up was held at the Dartmouth Club in New York city on the evening of March 20. The 1900 outfit in New York has been diluted by so many new members that it is no longer recognizable. Len Tuttle, Dago Phillips, and John Redington have added an element of frivolity and laissez faire which is very noticeable. However, a good time was enjoyed by all, although there were many prominent members of the class absent. Old John Long has been very sick, necessitating a visit to the South and total relinquishment of business for the time being. He is a lot better now, and hopes soon to take up his active work. F. C. Lewis isn't well at all, and gives up his teaching in July. Neilly Gibbons was attending an international bridge contest at the Elks Club and couldn't be present. Page likewise had a social engagement, and George Tong had to stay at home to entertain the Longs. It has taken so much space to tell about those who were not there that we cannot say anything about those who were there, except that a good time was enjoyed by all, which, when we think of it, means quite a lot.

The Secretary wishes to announce that Chelsea At wood has had a very severe illness. It was a case of blood poisoning of a very serious character. For a long time things looked pretty doubtful but we are glad to say at this writing that Chelsea's temperature has gone down and there is every reason to believe that he will be fully recovered and his old merry self again.

A new newspaper has appeared in Manchester, N. H. It is called The Sun, and if the city were not Manchester, it might be characterized as a tabloid. In a recent edition the question was asked, "Who Owns The Sun?" Robert Jackson's name led all the rest. The following is a description of this prominent character:

"Robert Jackson, Concord, N. H., president of Dominion Stores, Ltd., of Toronto, Canada, the largest chain store system in the Dominion; chairman of the board of directors of Southwestern Stores, the most rapidly developing chain store system in the southwestern part of the United States; director of the Savage Arms Corporation; director of Eastern Iron Ore Corporation; as well as numerous other enterprises. Native of New Hampshire, educated at Dartmouth College."

N. H. Barrows of Waterville, Maine, was casually noticed by the writer in a crowded elevator in the Hotel Roosevelt, early in April. He got off at the mezzanine floor. John Redington is now permanently located in New York city. He is doing promotional work for the International Paper Company. His room is 1714 in the office of this large corporation. John has had a long experience in paper products, and this new position is one where he can utilize it to great advantage. The Bates Valve Bag Company was sold very suddenly to another concern, with the result that plans for the promotion of that business were virtually nullified. The position that John has taken is one that was offered him on several different occasions, and represents a very distinct advance in his business career.
