CLASS OF 1900

Johnnie Warden reports that there are about forty physicians at the U.S.Y.B. Hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., where he is now stationed. Johnnie expects to be back for the Thirtieth. His boy, who is eleven years old, was born in the Mary Hitchcock Hospital, and has been back to Hanover every year since that notable event.

Dr. Butterfield has had an operation to correct a trouble he has had with his back, and is doing very nicely. He finds it a bit tedious to lie on a hospital bed and do nothing but read and think. It is quite different from the active life which he has been leading for twenty-five years. We in Boston have had a real chance to see and talk with Butter. There is just a little satisfaction in having these fellows where they can't move, but just have to listen to what you have to say. Chelsea says these patients prove to be the most docile audience that he has ever appeared before.

A recent bulletin from Paul Redington sent to my family is entitled, "The Habits and Economic Importance of Alligators." It seems to indicate that they are being extinguished as fast as buffaloes. Their food seems to be bugs, at cetera. It is too bad they did not have a few at Rood House when we were in college. If there is anyone in the class who would like to get alligator-wise, please let the Secretary know, and pamphlets will promptly be sent.

Steve Balkam since leaving college has been associated with the W. T. Grant chain of notion stores. He was located in Binghamton, N. Y., and is now in Syracuse. Steve had a bad accident to his hand which put him out of business for several weeks. He is now recovering rapidly. He is doing a fine job with this chain, and is very much enthused with his work.
