CLASS of 1905
Daniel Nathan Gage, Jr., helped to win the Dartmouth Plaque for the Andover delegation in the freshman class. This prize is awarded to the school with a delegation of more than three men which has the highest scholastic average for the first semester. This is the second win by Andover, and no other school has yet had it more than once. No delegation as large as Andover's, which numbers thirteen, has ever won it before. Francis Brown, the son of Julius Arthur Brown '02, is also a member of this prize winning group from Andover.
The leading article in the Outlook for May 1, entitled "Which Way Hoover," is by Henry Norton. He points out vividly that the opportunity is now open to this country, by expansion of our foreign commerce, to dominate the trade, the finance, and even the politics of the world, and that President Hoover by his ability, training, and experience is exactly the man to lead such a movement. Mr. Hoover, however, he believes, will make it his task to devise an alternative. This alternative will involve the application to international life of the co-operative principles which have as yet only begun to be understood in this country, but which it can safely be assumed would be more productive of returns to all concerned than would an international competition.
Bob Harding's mother has recently died.
George Agry was taken suddenly ill in March at a hotel in Buffalo with a severe case of ptomaine poisoning. After two weeks of sickness at the hotel and a loss of twenty- five pounds, he was able to return home, and is now busily engaged in recovering the lost weight.
Percy Noel's son did not enter Dartmouth after all, but went to the University of Missouri, where he plans to attend the School of Journalism.
Nine sons of the class are now at Dartmouth, namely: 1 senior, George Hersam; 2 juniors, Lillard and Putnam; 2 sophomores, Proctor and Joseph Clough; and 4 freshmen, Gage, Harwood, Hobart, and Peyser.
John Dunlap's widow died at the Montpelier Hospital late in April after a long illness. She was Fanny M. Gates, a sister of Don Gates, and was a graduate in the class of 1905 of Brigham Academy, of which Fred Brown of our class is now principal. The funeral was on Sunday, April 28, in Franklin, Vt., which was her former home. She is survived by three sons, her mother, and two brothers, all of Franklin. The boys are George 11, Richard 9, and Clark 8.
It is worthy of note that the subscriptions from '05 to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE have increased from 47 last year to 64 this year, and that now 44% of the class are subscribers.
The Secretary attended the annual meeting of the Secretaries Association in Hanover on May 3 and 4. An extended account of the meeting is to. appear in this issue of the MAGAZINE, so no details are given here.
