CLASS of 1889

At Marias Pass, in the town of Summit, in northwestern Montana, on the continental divide of the Rockies, there was dedicated, on October 25, the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Obelisk, authorized by Congress and erected in honor of the president who made forest conservation a national policy. The speakers were the governor of the state, one of Montana's representatives in Congress, an associate chief-forester of the United States, and 0. S. Warden, chairman of the State Highway Commission. The occasion also emphasized the* removal of the last barrier on the Roosevelt highway, which extends 4,060 miles from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon. The section over Marias Pass was opened in August, 1930. It also recalls to many the first transcontinental train sent by the great Northern Railway through this pass in 1893.

The memorial shaft, 60-feet high, rising from a 23-foot base, stands on the line which separates the Lewis and Clark National Forest from the Flathead National Forest.

In his address Mr. Warden gave tribute not only to the president who, born in the East, came to the West and caught its spirit, and who worked for the interest of the entire nation, but also to the many others, traders, missionaries, explorers, engineers, whose vision and courage and strength of character kept for the enjoyment and the benefit of our own and succeeding generations the great heritage of national parks and forests,— "The lakes, the streams, and the woodlands just as Nature made them."

Warden has been chairman of the very active State Highway Commission for several years. He has been much gratified over the arrangement which the commission was able to make for an unusual amount of reconstruction work during the later months of this year, thus offering employment to many at a time when it was greatly appreciated.

Bartlett, Cutler, Dow, Frost, and Wellman, and possibly others of the class, attended the Harvard-Dartmouth game November 7. Doane, Frost, Wellman, and Blakely were at the annual "after-the-game dinner" at the Boston City Club, attended by nineteen men of the classes '85 to '89.
