CLASS OF 1876

The Chicago Tribune (December 21) announces that "Prof. Richard T. Ely, one of the foremost American economists, was married during the summer (1931) to Miss Margaret Hahn, who was awarded the degree of Ph.D. by Northwestern University several years ago.

The following is from a class letter recently received from Abbott: "Some might think my life monotonous, shut in, as I am, like a bird in its cage, unable to leave my room. Not so have been the days of 1981. They have been days of joy and peace and accomplished plans. Five years ago I planned twelve books of translations of the works of India's poet-saints. As this year closes tomorrow, all the twelve are completed. Seven are published, one is in the press, the remaining four practically ready for the press."

Mrs. Benson H. Roberts died at her home in Catonsville, Md., February 18, 1931.
