CLASS OF 1904
Dr. Harry W. Chase, who over a year ago was elected to the head of the University of Illinois, was formally installed as its president, May 1. There were present delegates from 232 universities and colleges, 68 learned societies and professional organizations. Dr. Chase went to Illinois after many years of pre-eminent service as president of the University of North Carolina.
Walter Russell of Port Arthur, Ontario, has recently been elected president of the Canadian Pulp Wood Association.
The Secretary of the class attended the annual meeting of the Secretaries Association at Hanover, May 1 and 2, and had a wonderful time. At the meeting was Laurence Herman, the youngest secretary of the Association, who represented the class of 1934. Larry is the son of Earl Herman. We had a fine visit together, and all the old man has ever written the Secretary about that boy was true. Larry rooms in Crosby Hall, and there also I found John S. Fletcher, Jr. We had a fine chat, and John helped me locate several other of the sons of 1904, among them Jimmie Wood, Jimmie Walker, and a nephew of King Woodbridge. Missed the following, though made several attempts to find them. I'm sure the boys were buried in books at the Library or at the movies, Bob Turner, Henry Durgin, Dan Coles worthy, Perce Hobbs' two sons, and Bernard Boyle.
Saw Dartmouth take the ball game from Harvard 2-0, and win the track meet from Maine. Had mixed emotions when I witnessed the mile and two mile, and found some consolation in my age that I don't have to run those distances any more.
I wish every man in the class might have heard the intimate talk President Hopkins gave us at the dinner Friday night. He gave us an insight as to the character and calibre of the men now applying for admission to Dartmouth, the plans for a new center of college life on the site where now are the Hanover Inn and the old gym, the removal of the chapel and the relocating of the college church on that site. I might go on—but in good time I may make a fuller report to you all directly on these matters.
Mr. Arthur W. Kimball, formerly of Elyria, Ohio, who now represents the Colson Company in New England, will establish his residence on June 1 at 206 Summer St., Newton Center, Mass.
Are you helping King Woodbridge all you can with the Alumni Fund?
