Class of 1889
Mrs. Frederick J. Allen has sold her home in Arlington, where the family has lived for many years, and now lives in Falmouth, Mass. Her daughter, Miss Wilhelmina, a dental assistant, is with her. The son, Frederick C., is a teacher of English in the Lawrence High School in Falmouth. There is also a three-year-old Frederick C. Jr. The youngest daughter, Theodora, is an artist for the Dennison Manufacturing Company, Framingham. The older son, Charles F. H., is still professor of chemistry at McGill, and the oldest daughter, Mrs. Purinton, lives in Somersworth, N. H.
Immediately after he graduated (magnacum laude) from the Boston University Law School in 1892, Ralph Bartlett entered the office of former Governor William E. Russell, at 53 State St., Boston. He continued, after Governor Russell's death in 1896, until June of this year, when he retired from active practice after fortyone years in the same office. For several years he had been the senior member of the group. Following his custom of recent years, Ralph sailed from New York, August 19, for Bremen and thence to Russia, via Poland, to be away two or three months.
In August the Secretary received from E. B. Davis a post card mailed in Paris.
Flagg spent nearly three months in Hanover during the summer. The Secretary believes that he was acting in locoparentis in the home of his niece, Mrs. Emily Emerson Day.
On July 15 the new Federal motor road, named Going-to-the-Sun Highway, through Glacier National Park, crossing the Rockies at Logan Pass, was formally dedicated in the presence of 4,000 persons. Addresses were made by Governor Cooney and Senator Wheeler. On the same day a bronze tablet was dedicated to the memory of Stephen T. Mather, the first director of the National Park Service. The address was given by O. S. Warden, chairman Montana State Highway Commission and a long-time personal friend of Mr. Mather. Warden is called on frequently for addresses here and there in the West. Occasionally the Secretary hears of one, as 011 June 8, in Lethbridge, Alberta, when the subject was "The New Deal in America."
When our class letters were printed, last May, no recent word from Barrett could be included because none was available. Later the Secretary learned that for five months, January to May, John had been making a series of visits to Central and South American countries. He is chairman of the International Pan-American Good Will Group and Movement. This flight to our Southern neighbors (much of the distance was covered in the private cabin plane of the Honorary Secretary, who accompanied him) was made in the interest of this movement. Last year John's health was impaired, but he has made gratifying progress toward recovery, and late information from Grafton is favorable.
Secretary, 87 Milk St., Boston
