CLASS OF 1893
An interesting series of articles in the Boston Herald under the title, "Some People You Ought to Know," included recently an excellent sketch of Guy W. Cox, vice-president and general counsel of the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company. One good feature of the sketch was its mention of the fact that its subject is president of the class of 1893, Dartmouth College. It also contained some real news to the effect that Guy has just bought a 300-acre farm in Pittsfield, the New Hampshire town in which his mother was bom.
If Guy ever should have occasion to call on the New Hampshire state insurance department on official business, he will find installed there by recent action of the governor and council, as deputy insurance commissioner, William N. Johnston of Suncook. The new official we remember gave the title to the drama, "Where's Jinsing," performed by members of the class of 1893 at Claremont, February 20, 1891, and chronicled in the '93 Aeqis.
Here's another '93 grandfather, Judge Edward Griffith announcing the birth of a daughter, Katharine Hope Griffith, to his son Tom and Mrs. Tom on May 19. We saw the Judge's name mentioned a while ago as one of the executors of a multi millionaire's will, but there was talk of contesting the will, and where that would leave Ed in regard to the luscious fees in prospect we do not know.
The secretary met Russell on the street in Concord the other day, and acknowledges letters from Mason and McQuestin.
A paper on "The Massachusetts Reformatory and Its Psycopathic Laboratory," read before the Boston Society of Psychiatry and Neurology, by Dr. Guy G. Fernald, has been printed in booklet form. Miss Margaret Jarvis, as one of the bridesmaids at a Boston society wedding, had her picture in the "brown section ' of the Herald. The day after W. W. Brown arrived from New York at his Lake Sunapee country place the chauffeur took out the Pierce-Arrow, drove it through the fence and down an embankment, turning three somersaults in the process. The chauffeur was some injured and the car more. W. W. was not in it.

Samuel P. Hunt, who does most of the talking for the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, develops and adds to his stock address every time he delivers it. Before the Lions' Club of Manchester, according to a newspaper of that city, he "spoke of the frankness and sincerity of the younger generation, the agricultural opportunities made possible by scientific advances, the benefits of prohibition and human endeavor, and at the close of his talk explained the method whereby the Public Service Company compiles rates for electricity in homes."
Rev. A. J. Holley of Brandon, Vt., enjoyed a two months' European trip this summer. The Claremont Eagle informs us that John Ayer had a fire in his touring car while riding on the Puckershire road recently.
At a meeting of the association of school superintendents of Franklin county, Mass., Winthrop P. Abbott, retiring superintendent at Greenfield, was presented with gifts for himself and wife, and a letter was read from Payson Smith, state commissioner of education, expressing high appreciation of Mr. Abbott's valuable work during the long years of his educational activity.
John Baker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus H. Baker, put the shot and threw the hammer for the track athletic team of Concord High School this season; and Harry McLaren of Manchester, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. N. McLaren, was one of the sprinters on the University of New Hampshire track team.
