Under date of December 5 in the MorningOregonian there is quite a long article in memory of the birthday of our classmate Bishop Walter T. Sumner of Oregon. The article started off with the paragraph: "Dartmouth College boasts no more active 'old grad' than Rev. Walter Taylor Sumner, D.D., bishop of the Episcopal church in Oregon. He graduated from college in 1898, the year of Roosevelt's Roughriders, Dewey's May Day, and Alger's embalmed beef." The article then goes on to speak of the great many interests to which Walter Sumner gives his time and energy.
