Class of 1893
On Saturday, October 29, in the First Church at Newton Center, Mass., Elizabeth Alice, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Gordon, was married to Jesse Mead Van Law of Lima, Peru, where they will reside, the last part of their honeymoon trip being from Cristobal, Canal Zone, by air-plane. Rev. Dwight Bradley officiated, and Mr. Gordon gave his daughter's hand in marriage. The bride's sister, Mrs. Allan Miles Cate, was matron of honor. Mr. Van Law graduated from Cornell in 1927 and Mrs. Van Law from the Connecticut College for Women in 1928. Guy W. Cox, president of the class of 1893 and vice-president of the John Hancock Insurance Company, has been elected to the board of trustees of Boston University, of whose law school he is a graduate. At the same time his brother, former Governor Channing Cox '01, was elected to the same board. Guy was one of those making favorable response to the plea of Senator George Moses '9O for $100 contributions to the fund for a Daniel Webster memorial at Franklin. Last fall at the annual Pittsfield fair many blue ribbons were awarded to the exhibits made in the fruit show by Mrs. Cox from Chichester Brook Farm.
After 30 years with the Manchester Traction, Light, and Power Company and its successor, the Public Service Company of New Hampshire, as engineer and statistician, Samuel P. Hunt has resigned that position in order to devote his entire time to the administration of the estate of his father, the late Judge Nathan P. Hunt. Mr. Hunt is one of the incorporators of the new Manchester Junior College.
A handsome reprint from the AlumniNews of Syracuse University contains an article by Dr. Perley Oakland Place, professor of Latin, on "A Roman Gentleman's Religion," dealing with Marcus Tullius Cicero.
Silent John Rowell believes that money talks. The Secretary is unable to get letters from him for class reports, but his name is found in the right place in the list of Alumni Fund contributors.
The item of political news under date of November 8 of most interest to '93 was the election of Austin L. Calef of Barrington to the New Hampshire State Senate of 1933 from the 21st district. Conducting an energetic campaign, Calef won by a large majority from the Republican candidate, Miss Jessie Doe of Rollinsford, one of the best known women in the state and daughter of the late Chief Justice Charles Doe of the Supreme Court, Dartmouth '49.
Edward S. Miller presented in the Woodsville Times an article presenting the position of the "drys" in the campaign which won much praise. The Doctor recently purchased a business block in Woodsville to be occupied by Miller Brothers, his sons, as headquarters for radio sales and service.
Mrs. George B. Dodge and Miss Adelaide Dodge were on the campaign committee of Colonel W. Parker Straw of Manchester, who made a fine campaign for Congress as a Republican in the First New Hampshire District, but could not quite overcome the Democratic landslide.
