CLASS of 1894

Secretary Charles Clarkson Merrill was recently operated on for appendicitis. The disease had dangerous complications. At the present time he is slowly convalescing, and the reports that come from Mrs. Merrill give great encouragement. His classmates, who know how C. C. approaches every task in the spirit of consecration and how unselfishly he has lived and labored for others, are deeply concerned, and anxiously await and hope for his recovery.

The trustees of the University of New Hampshire at their meeting in Concord on April 12 elected Dwight Hall of Dover as president of the board. Mr. Hall was appointed to the board in 1915 by Governor Spaulding, and is now the senior member in years of service. He is an attorney in Dover, former chairman of the Republican state committee, and now federal controller of customs of the port of Boston.

The Necrology under the class of 1923 gives an account of the death of John H. Burroughs, son of our late classmate, Sherman E. Burroughs. At the time of the young man's death, his mother was in California, where she went to attend the wedding of another son, Lieutenant Sherman E. Burroughs, Jr., who is a naval aviator attached to the airplane carrier Saratoga.
