CLASS OF 1878

W. D. M. Smith of Charleston, W. Va., reports the death in September, 1930, of his wife Anne Edwards, to whom he was married in 1882. She was the daughter of William Henry Edwards, internationally known naturalist and author, and was herself widely known as an artist. She was said to be the first direct descendant of Jonathan Edwards to join the Roman Catholic church, which she did in Washington in 1910. Mr. Smith has given up his home at 1529 Quarrier St., and now resides at Hotel Jefferson.

An appropriate necklace of errata is being assembled to adorn the Narrative of The Class of 1878, recently issued. Telle Smith contributes to it in minor detail, but the most painful suffering from it thus far reported bears upon the athletic record of the Rev. Edmund M. Vittum, D. D., of Grinnell, la. He should have had credit for winning the mile run and the three-mile run each on two occasions, and no defeats. His name appeared in print for one event which he did not enter, which accounts for one part of the double error. Vittum says that as successively college professor, college pastor, and college president, he has become very jealous of his reputation in this particular, as he has found that a Phi Beta Kappa key or a mathematical prize are comparatively small change when it comes to enhancing one's influence with undergraduates.

E. H. Rowell of Tilton, N. H., also was misplaced in this irresponsible publication. His early home and his preparatory school were at Amesbury, not Haverhill, Mass. How this gratuitous transposition came to pass is one of the mysteries of the subconscious mind.
