CLASS OF 1914
"Stubby" Johnson was visiting in Boston over the week-end of Washington's birthday.
Thorne Smith, one of the class authors, makes his home at Free Acres, Scotch Plains, N. J. Thorne has written several books as well as making contributions to monthly periodicals. As to his family, little is known except that he has one wife and some little Smiths.
Lew Corliss is in the Hartford office of Paine, Webber and Co.
Ray Trott, trust officer of the Rhode Island Hospital Trust at Providence, recently addressed the mid-winter conference of the American Bankers Association at New York, urging bankers throughout the country to recognize the profitableness of the investment counsel field as a source of banking income. His advice to this group was along the lines that such counsel should follow the trust idea, that funds should be conserved rather than created.
Al Overton is with the Richardson Company of Lockland, Ohio, and makes his resi- dence at 231 Oliver Road, Wyoming, Ohio.
Apparently the idea of combining with the enemy is sound business, as evidenced by an innovation started this winter in New York. For the past few months, 1914 and 1915 have been holding their monthly dinners in joint session—with the result that attendance has been stimulated somewhat. The last function brought forth the following from the better class—Walt Humphrey, Ted Lavin, Kelly Kalenderian, Al Richmond, "Mainspring" Chuck Kingsley, and Ed Leech.
A February dispatch from Washington lists several promotions in the State Department. Among others, we are pleased to note the promotion of J. Theodore Marriner of Maine, promoted from Officer of Class 2 to Officer of Class 1. So I am sure the affairs of state will be ably handled from now on.
The annual dinner in Boston on March 7 brought forth the usual good sized crowd:— Batchelder, Lawrence, Littlefield, Drake, Saltmarsh, Brown, Aborn, Taft, Loveland, Barnes, Burleigh, Snow, Ken Fuller, Gus Fuller, Stickney, Gregg.
Bill Slater is laid up at home with an abscessed ear, but we understand now that he is on the mend.
Ed Leech, who was in the midst of an epidemic of scarlet fever when last reported on, has left for the Pacific Coast on a business trip. His family are now all on the mend.
Mart and Kay Remsen attended the Alumni Winter Carnival at Hanover last month, and from all accounts had a glorious week-end. Both of them highly endorse this event as one of the best in Hanover and recommend your attendance next year.
By the time this issue reaches you, the first Alumni Fund Appeal will be in the mails. Need I say more than this? Get your checks to Mart Remsen early.
Secretary, 100 Milk St., Boston
