Class of 1899
Now that Dartmouth's 1933 season of baseball is passing in review, '99 presents a cut of two of its class who starred during the four seasons, 1896 to 1899 inclusive, Pitt Drew (twice captain) and Fred Crolius. We are indebted to Carl Richardson '96 for this picture, which was taken freshman fall, following the football season. Crolius won his football "D" freshman year.
Hawley Chase represented the class at the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Club of Northern New Jersey, held a few weeks ago at East Orange, N. J.
Dr. Rodney and Mrs. Sanborn attended the Washington, D. C., Kennel Club dog show April 20-22 to garner a few ribbons for their prize poodle, "Sun Beau." Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ishbel MacDonald presented the prizes. Rodney's visit gave opportunity for three Ninety-Niners, Sanborn, Staley, and the Secretary, to have a luncheon and talkfest together.
George Clark came out of his Plymouth retreat recently, and for a sufficient length of time to permit him to wander into seve ral '99 homes. Washington and Chicago were among other places included in his itinerary.
The Secretary was delighted recently to receive a letter from young "Doc" Norton (son of A. H. W. N.), from which the following is quoted: "Nothing would pleaseme more than to be able to take up Dad'scorrespondence where he left off." The spirit of '99 will not dim under such care as this expression indicates.
Hermon Farwell '02 recently presented the Secretary with the original, and what is probably the first, diploma given by the Hoskinorum Hall of Science. While somewhat yellowed with age (it was not written on parchment), it is in a fine state of preservation and bears the bold signatures of
N. L. Hoskins, Medicus Primus R. P. Johnston, Medicus Secundus E. G. Baldwin, Quizolator
H. D. Hardy, Clerk.
The document is dated Hanover, N. H., Oct. 3, 1898, and bestows on Fellow Farwell a degree suitable to the course he pursued and satisfactorily completed.
Early in May "Peddy" Miller accepted an appointment at Bryn Mawr. In July also he will be at Swarthmore for an Interracial Institute. Incidentally, the Millers had a call the other evening from Mot Sargeant's daughter, Miriam, who is a freshman at Oberlin.
Last winter Mrs. Guy E. Speare and George Clark gave an illustrated talk in Plymouth, N. H., on Colonial Meeting Houses in New Hampshire. This interesting and educational presentation was then under the auspicies of the Pemigewasset Women's Club. There was so general a demand for a repetition of the event that last month the talk was given again in the Plymouth Congregational church.
Secretary, 41 West Kirke St., Chevy Chase, Md.
