Class of 1894
Dr. F. P. Claggett, medical referee for Sullivan county, was for some time at the Carrie Wright hospital suffering from a fracture of the leg near the kneecap, sustained in an accident on June 3. Dr. Claggett was on a fishing trip with his daughter Barbara near the upper end of Corbin Park when he slipped and fell, injuring his left leg. He was taken to the hospital, and Dr. J. W. Jameson of Concord was called. Examination revealed the fracture. Dr. H. C. Sanders '93 of Claremont acted while Dr. Claggett was unable to carry on the official duties of the office.
The Commencement of 1932 was attended by the three musketeers of the class, whose regularity can be counted on, C. C. Merrill, Rolla Bartlett, and Phil Marden. Leverett Merrill, older son of our Secretary, received his degree with 1932, on the seventy-sixth anniversary of the graduation of his grandfather, Josiah Leverett Merrill, for whom he was named. C. C. will be on hand in 1933, for his second son will graduate then.
The class has reason for sincere gratification because of the election of Phil Marden as a trustee of the College, the reelection of Arthur Adams to the Alumni Council, and the bestowal of the degree of LL.D on our Secretary, C. C. Merrill, by Middlebury College.
George Mann, who lives tenderly in our memories, has a son connected with the National Shawmut Bank of Boston and a daughter who occupies an important hospital position in that city. His second son is in New York and connected with the Department of Commerce of the United States Government. Another son graduates next year.
Ninety-Four men learned with regret of the death of Sherman Burroughs' youngest son, Henry Baker Burroughs, Dartmouth 1931, who was killed in an automobile accident at Bedford, N. H., in early June. Our sympathy goes out to his mother and to his brother, Major Robert P. Burroughs, well known among the younger alumni, who survive him.
Our Secretary reports meeting John Cassin and "hobnobbing," with him, commenting casually that the depression has not hurt him visibly, as he is sporting a Lincoln car.
The Secretary called on Professor Colby during the Commencement season, whose interest in us time does not wither. The writer made an unsuccessful attempt to do so, but '72 was having a reunion.
