CLASS OF 1893

Marion Laura (Marvin) Mann, wife of William H. G. Mann, died at their home in Penacook on January 17. They were married at the Church of the Transfiguration in New York city, April 30, 1901, and had lived in Penacook since 1903. Mrs. Mann was an expert stenographer and telegrapher, but gav.e up that work after marriage and devoted herself entirely to her husband, their home, and their community and friends, by whom her death is sincerely mourned.

Dr. Edward S. Miller is doing dental work for the unemployed, free of charge, on Wednesday afternoons of each week.

We do not know whether it is a new honor or a re-appointment, but the list of officers elected at the annual meeting of the Newton Hospital contains the name of Charles B. Gordon as a member of the executive committee.

A memoir of our classmate, William Collins Phelps, C. E., prepared by A. J. Wilcox for the Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers, contains a comprehensive account of his professional career, and the comment that "Mr. Phelps's natural inclination for painstaking attention to detail and thoroughness of analysis made him especially suited for the most intricate design. He showed a conscientiousness and completeness in his work that was a satisfaction to all who had any occasion to deal with him or his efforts."

Samuel P. Hunt and Edwin B. Weston figured in the annual elections of New Hampshire banks. If we had access to the newspapers of other states in which '93 men dwell we could add other names to these two; Greeley, of course, and doubtless more.

Met Rufus Baker on the street the other day. He had come up from Durham, where he and Mrs. Baker are spending the winter, to attend to his duties as one of the trustees of trust funds of the town of Bow.

Dr. George E. Pender got into the papers by claiming that an outside thermometer at his home in Portsmouth showed a temperature of 80 on a day in January. Now we might have expected that from Bob Boutelle, but not from the doctor.

Samuel P. French is moderator of the West Lebanon Congregational church society; vice-chairman of the board of trustees of the West Lebanon Library Association; and doubtless a lot of other things; but we found those two in a recent issue of the Granite State Free Press.

Charlie French put 150 of the unemployed at work digging 21 inches of snow out of the streets of Laconia the first week in January. Later in the month some of them got another job carting snow from the deep woods to the municipal ski jump in order that a championship contest might be decided.

Carroll Langdon Flint was in an automobile accident at Rutland, Vt., this winter, but from the newspaper accounts it does not seem to have been a serious one.

Harry Metcalf got his picture in the Boston Transcript by being re-elected president of the New Hampshire Weekly Publishers' Association, which held its midwinter meeting and banquet at the Hub.

A classmate writes the Secretary in criticism of an editorial in the February ALUMNI MAGAZINE, where in the Dartmouth LiteraryMagazine was referred to as "short-lived" and its contents as "turgid," "stilted" and "ewl-like." Our friend points out that the ".Lit." was published for 25 years, not a bad record for an unsubsidized undergraduate enterprise of that sort, and urges us further, as follows: "You tell 'em, Skid, about that blonde whose pretty head was flooded with new gold, not in a beauty parlor but in a printing office, in the Lit. some time in 1891. There was nothing owlish about her."

Secretary, 104 North State St., Concord, N. H.
