Class of 1898
"Bill" Hewes is in Europe as a representative to the International Highways Companies. Our energetic classmate keeps very busy in the network of public roads, various codes, and progress in general.
Joe Bartlett had a pleasant visit a short time ago with John Eckstorm in Cleveland.
All '98 extends its sincere sympathy to Walter Sumner in the passing away of his mother at an advanced age after a life full of splendid service. Mrs. Rintha Thompson Sumner, widow of the late Charles D. Sumner, died at her home in Manchester, N. H., July 22, in her 85th year. For fifty years of her long life she had been a Sunday school teacher, and active church worker, and a member of various boards and auxiliaries. Bishop Sumner is the sole survivor of the family.
In a recent letter from Seth Moody of Lamont, Idaho, he once more evinces his keen interest in all things pertaining to Dartmouth.
Sherman Moulton writes an interesting note concerning the work of the Supreme Court of Vermont, which is of such a character that it prevents his attending the '98
round-up. In a characteristic and friendly note from "Pete" Adams he speaks of being away from his headquarters for a couple of weeks at the seashore near San Diego, where the rock-bound coast reminds him of Maine. There his two boys got on famously with their swimming. "Pete" Adams and Walter Taylor Sumner usually get together sometime during the summer.
Ev Snow has commenced his important work at Burdett Business College, where he ranks as one of the most popular professors on the faculty.
Different members of the class are responding finely, as usual, to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE appeal.
"Buck" Chandler was the speaker and guest at the Newton Rotary Club recently. Buck resigned from the board of aldermen in Newton, on which board he has been serving faithfully for a number of years, inasmuch as he is making his home the year round in Plymouth, Mass.
The Secretary dropped in to see Joe Carney, and was amazed at the amount of work our genial classmate is turning off as administrator of the ERA.
Harry Clark is now associated with John Gilman, and those two men are having great times together.
Fletcher Harper Swift spent a very pleasant afternoon with Guy Gary and his wife at their home in Santa Ana. He speaks enthusiastically of their attractive home and splendid hospitality. He also made the acquaintance of Guy's eldest son, who has a responsible position with the Ford Automobile Company. The University Press is just completing Fletcher's work on "The Financing of Public Educational Institutions in Czechoslovakia." A similar study on Austria will be ready in a few weeks. His daughter Mary Ruth entered Oberlin College this fall to continue her musical studies. She won a scholarship there by reason of her attainments in music. During the latter part of the summer Fletcher Harper rescued a young lady from drowning in Lake Arrowhead.
Walter Taylor Sumner, the bishop of Oregon, has so gained his health that he is able to carry on the numerous duties demanded by his great office. Harry Goodall has been ill at the Palmer Memorial Hospital in Boston, but is now reported well on the way to recovery.
Secretary, 57 Grove Hill Ave., Newtonville, Mass.
