CLASS of 1884

Homer B. Hulbert, who since his return from Korea after Japanese occupation has lectured on the Far East throughout this country and Canada, has practically given up this work. He is, however, by no means idle. Since June, 1929, he has published two plays, written three novels that are now ready for the printer, and a book on Korean folk-lore is now in the hands of the printer for approval. Homer has a summer home near the mouth of the Connecticut River where he spends his vacations. Here he works some eight hours daily in his garden and keeping the place in shipshape. "I don't play tennis any more, but I am a wow at the lawn-mower and the garden tools. Along with other trifles I set out a bed of 1600 strawberry plants this fall."

Fred L. Laird suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on September 1 last. Latest reports say "Fuddy" is making a good recovery.

Dr. George Dake Weston has been ill for more than two years, and has had to give up practice of his profession. He is now confined to his room, alternating between his bed and easy-chair. This morning's mail brought the news that he has had a "bad turn" and was not able to see a classmate who telephoned to ask about him.

In a letter to the Secretary received just prior to this writing, Woodward tells me that he is fast losing his sight. He can with difficulty read typed letters. He was elected junior warden of Christ's church in July, 1929. He has served as vestryman for that church for 27 years and as its clerk for 25 years. Since 1929 he has been a member of the board of tax assessors of Westerly, R. I.
