CLASS OF 1894

Potsdam, N. Y., is putting on a drive for $250,000 for a hospital building fund. Archibald J. Matthews is chairman of the campaign executive committee.

"Senator" Amey, who has been engaged in his work as district attorney in the United States District Court at Windsor, Vt., violated the frontier May 25 by crossing the New Hampshire line without passports. He was apprehended in Claremont by Don Colby, Charles Rossiter, and the writer. E. G. Ham came over from Springfield, Vt., and rendered timely assistance. A two-hour reunion followed in the exchange of reminiscences and expressing our gratification that "Sunapee" Bartlett is to continue in the public service and in the confidence of the administration in his new post as chairman of the international joint commission.

The following is from a recent issue of the Miami (Fla.) Herald: "The only professor of books in American colleges, Dr. Edwin Osgood Grover of Rollins College, Winter Park, Fla., is here for a few days. He came to receive the degree of Doctor of Literature from the University of Miami. Dr. Grover is pro fessor of books and director of the college library at Rollins. His position is unique, there being no similar chair in any other college in the United States. During the past year he succeeded in getting 6,500 volumes added to the college library. For thirty years Dr. Grover had been in the publishing business in Chicago, New York, and Boston. Three years ago he was called to Rollins to try out Ralph Waldo Emerson's suggestion that colleges should provide a professor of books to teach them as well as librarians to take care of books. In addition to his work at Rollins, Dr. Grover operates the Angel Alley Press at Winter Park. In 1670 his ancestors were publishers and ran a printing press in Angel Alley, London. His publishing plant at Winter Park is named for the street in which his ancestors established their business in the seventeenth century. Twelve books have been published from it."
