CLASS OF 1890
The Acting Secretary had a little reunion with Morrison and Dr. Perry Boynton at the annual dinner at the Plaza hotel in New York, January 18. Dr. E. A. Pond had expected to be present and a seat was reserved for him, but he did not show up, much to our disappointment. We had a round table at which were representatives of classes from 1888 to 1891 inclusive. Among those present, whom the Secretary had not seen for many years, were Dunlap '88, Prof. Charles Downer (Charlie) Hazen '89, the noted historian, W. S. Sullivan '89,. Dr. Charles S. (Squash) Little '91, and Whitney (non-grad.) '91.
Dr. and Mrs. Charles 0. Caswell of Portland, Me., left February 10 for Florida, to be gone until April, but will surely be at the reunion in June.
Senator George Higgins Moses writes that he certainly intends to come to the reunion in June. He is going abroad the first of April to get the vacation which was denied him last year on account of the extra session of Congress, and to try to get some rest before plunging into the senatorial campaign, of which he is to be the head. He will be back the first of June.
Dr. William Gerry Morgan of Washington, D. C., is to be formally inducted into the office of president of the American Medical Association, in Detroit, during the week of June 22. This may prevent his attending the reunion at Hanover, but he will come, if possible.
Prof. Frederick O. Grover of Oberlin College is spending the year abroad, and will not be back until the end of the summer.
Rev. George Sherman Mills, D. D., and Mrs. Mills are to take a tour to the Pacific Coast this spring.
Will E. Reed was recently in Chicago, and had lunch with his two classmates, Hilton and Mills. They report a most enjoyable little visit together talking over old days. Practically ever since graduation Reed has been engaged in missionary work in Guayaquil, Ecuador, South America. He has had a very large influence in that far-off land, and has the respect and assistance of the officials of that country. What has counted largely for the enhancement of his influence and prestige is the fact that his converts in church and school exhibit moral character and behavior in marked contrast with the ordinary ways of living down there. It is an independent work that he is doing. He has led a devoted and self-sacrificing life with very small remuneration in this world's goods, but must have received deep satisfaction from the good which he has done. Reed has only made one previous visit back to this country, so far as we are aware. That was a few years ago, when he made us a call one summer day here in Rochester. He is married and has several children. His oldest son is in some successful occupation here in this country. Reed has changed little in appearance, save for having grown some older with the passage of the years, along with the rest of us.
Elijah P. Barrows is head of a trade school in Quincy, Mass., with thirteen teachers under him.
