Class of 1891

M. D. Barrows '91 visited Washington in mid-February when his wife, Mrs. Mary Livermore Barrows, who has served five years in the Massachusetts legislature and is one of the few—perhaps the first—women committee chairmen in any legislature in the United States, was accorded the special honor of an invitation to the White House at the President's last formal reception to the Congress of the United States. The reception proved one of rare interest, Senators Moses '9O and Watson heading the line. Others present included most of the notable figures in our national life. Mrs. Barrows, it will be recalled, is a granddaughter of Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and inherits to a large degree the talent in writing and speaking of her distinguished ancestor. Just before starting for Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Barrows were banqueted by Mr. and Mrs. Carl S. Hoskins, Dartmouth '94, former proprietor of Sunset Hill House, Sugar Hill, N. H., and now a well-known financial observer.

It is not often that the word "asininity" is applied to the report of such an important chairman as is Robert L. O'Brien, but Congress was so full of vagaries that the recent word flew out of the mouth of a Republican member of the House of Representatives. However, it availed the representative nothing.

Cards have been received announcing the marriage on- the twenty-seventh of January of the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lincoln O'Brien, Miriam Eliot, the noted Alpine mountain climber, to Mr. Robert Lindley Murray Underhill. The newly married couple are residing at 130 Warren St., Newton Center, Mass.

Charles Manley Smith, the lieutenantgovernor of Vermont, in the absence of Governor Wilson, declared the bank holiday for the state of Vermont.
