CLASS OF 1890

George B. Young was one of the principal speakers at the conference of commissioners on uniform state laws, held in Chicago August 13. The Chicago Daily News gave an excellent report of his speech, referring to the speaker thus: "George B. Young, an attorney of Montpelier, Vt., a veteran of long experience and national recognition in the field with which the conference is dealing." The conference was composed of distinguished lawyers from all parts of the country, most of the delegates being appointed by governors of the states represented. Drafts of model laws on diverse subjects were presented to the conference, to be recommended to the various state legislatures for adoption.

Thirty-three civic leaders in Chicago have enlisted for a war to stamp out racketeering. Prominent in the list is the name of Henry H. Hilton, director of Ginn and Company.

On Monday of Commencement Week, while our class was enjoying its reunion at Hanover, our classmate Hilton was being honored at Waterville, Me., by having conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws by Colby College. Hilton has recently been elected a trustee of Colby, and has a large hand in the plans for the removal of the college from its present location, [n presenting Hilton for the degree, these words were spoken: "Mr. President: In accordance with the vote of the board of trustees of Colby College, I have the honor to present to you for the degree, Doctor of Laws, Mr. Henry Hoyt Hilton of Chicago, 111., a graduate of Dartmouth College; for many years a publisher of good books; a trustee of his Alma Mater, of the Chicago Theological Seminary, and of the College for Women in Connecticut; interested as leader in many educational projects; a new but friendly and already proved advisor of this college."
