CLASS OF 1900
An announcement has just been received of the appointment of Henry Teague as manager of the Landlords' Inn at Templeton, Mass. This is what the article has to say about Henry:
"'Of the twenty-five landlords, not one is so well qualified to represent the group as Henry,' the official statement reads. 'A real landlord himself of the old school with a background of thirty years of successful management, Mr. Teague made a fortune out of his hotel operations, but unfortunately overstayed the market in Florida real estate, and the collapse of the boom left him like many others—sadder but wiser. The fact that he is not driving a Rolls-Royce today is not because of his lack of ability in operating hotels.'
"Mr. Teague was graduated from Dartmouth College in 1900 and a year later from the Amos Tuck School of Administration and Finance. He has traveled extensively in this country and abroad. During the war, as a special representative of President Wilson, he called on the governor of every state and the mayor of every city of more than 100,000 in population. Generous to a fault, he has given of his time and money to all public-spirited projects of merit. Memorial Day he never fails to put on his Spanish War uniform and participate in decorating the graves of veterans. He never married, but twelve boys have been financed through college by him and others partly helped."
The Secretary could add a great deal more, but it is hardly necessary.
Harry Marshall sends regularly to his friends in this country a bulletin telling what is going on at the Karen Theological Seminary. A short summary of the one dated February 24 states that the school now has an enrollment of 120 men. They are playing football, basketball, and tennis, together with a game played with big seeds which is something like marbles. (This sounds a little like gambling.) Harry reports that on the opening of the new school year on the third of June many of the boys who come to enroll will have to be sent back because there is no room to receive them. The second unit of the building is not yet finished. During the summer Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are going to spend two weeks at the Andaman Islands, and later Harry will take a trip to Siam. Altogether a rather busy and helpful life that Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are leading.
C. G. McDavitt, special secretary of the class of '67, reports the loss of one of his members. This reduces his class to one. This situation is significant to any college class. During the years when losses are frequent and inevitable, the group becomes smaller and smaller, and the responsibility of each individual member greater and greater.
Charles Proctor has entirely recovered from his attack of pneumonia. Local reports from Hanover state that he is hanging over dangerous cliffs to find the nests of rare birds. He has not as yet resumed his daily game of golf, but has certainly recovered from his sickness and has almost regained his full strength.
Reunion plans are proceeding very quietly but very steadily. The program has been fully laid out and every step taken for the proper entertainment of the class. It looks as though the attendance would be up to the usual standard. There will be so much for the men to see in the increased activities of the College that this year's reunion will be of unusual interest.
The class will have one or two meetings at the Outing Club house. It has always adopted the policy of asking for no different treatment from that accorded other classes. There is, however, a great satisfaction in the feeling that this is our special place in Hanover. We are delighted that the Outing Club house has fitted so well into college life, and we value the kindly comments of other classes more than we can express. The meeting of the Secretaries Association on Saturday night where pictures were shown and a dinner was held was one of the most delightful events in that week-end program.
The following is an excerpt from the Worcester Academy Alumni Bulletin:
"The Worcester Academy boys of 1893- 1896 saw in Lemuel G. Hodgkins more than the first-rate scholar, the outstanding athlete, or the jovial companion whose appointment as monitor in those days signified the approval of masters and boys alike. They saw a modest but self-respecting poise that won respect, a dogged persistence that, paired with quick intelligence, made a formidable team in classroom and on the gridiron, and a never-failing courtesy that is rare among hard-boiled familiars in school life but which in this instance introduced no feeling of distance, but on the contrary immeasurably increased affection and regard.
"Dartmouth men of the vintage of 1900 will have no difficulty in recognizing the subject of this thumb-nail sketch; neither will associates of post-college years. The boys grew older, but the same qualities were there outstanding and ripening with the years.
"There subsequently followed over a decade of public service as clerk, examiner, and finally as deputy commissioner of the Massachusetts Insurance Department. There came recognition from without the commonwealth, and a call to be secretary and general manager of the National Automobile Underwriters Conference in New York, followed in 1922 by a return to the scene of his school days as secretary of the Massachusetts Protective Association, Inc., of Worcester.
"The life of Worcester—commercial, civic, and social, has been enriched by this return of its school boy of auld lang syne. Worcester Academy has signified its appreciation and recognition by election to its Alumni Council; Dartmouth by appointment as head of its Advisory Athletic Council and to membership in its-Alumni Council; and the city of Worcester by placing big responsibilities on the stout shoulders of this substantial citizen."
Secretary. 10 State St., Boston
