Class of 1893
Harry Metcalf, Democratic candidate for Congress in the Second New Hampshire District, did not succeed in overcoming the normal Republican majority on November 6, but made a good run and lots of friends. He says: "I got a great kick outof the whole campaign, but I wish to say'never again.'"
State Senator Austin L. Calef of Barrington, N. H., another Democrat, and one of the smoothest working politicians in the state, was re-elected to the upper branch of the New Hampshire Legislature of 1935, running ahead of his ticket.
Sam French takes the lead among '93 grandfathers through the birth of a fifth son to Rev. and Mrs. Lewis Dunnington of Duluth. We also hear as to Sam that he was one of the recent founders of a chess and checkers club taking in West Lebanon and White River Junction players.
During October, President Cox lost by death his father, Charles E. Cox, a fine old gentleman, in his 87th year, young in heart to the end, a good friend and entertaining companion; and proud, as he had a right to be, of his four sons, three of them Dartmouth men. Mr. and Mrs. George B. Dodge were among those attending the funeral, held at Manchester.
Dr. Albert C. Leach of Orange, Mass., has been appointed by Governor Ely associate medical examiner in the Northern Massachusetts district.
At the annual convention in Pittsburgh, Pa., of the National Association of Arborists William G. Aborn was elected president. He also has been appointed a member of the Rhode Island state commission for control of the Dutch elm disease and has been made its publicity agent. Those of us who have century-old elms on our premises hope Aborn and is co-workers will be able to beat the Dutch on this line.
Aborn, by the way, is not the only dog expert connected with '93. Rufus Baker's son, Bradley, one of Uncle Sam's men at the Concord post office, was one of the judges at recent trials of the New Hampshire fox and coon club.
The new chief justice of the New Hamp- shire Supreme Court, John E. Allen, is a member of the class of '94, but '93 has an interest in him because his older brother was the late Alger V. Allen of our class.
A special writer for the Dover (N. H.) Democrat gives a fascinating description of the summer home of Mrs. Charles Carpenter Goss of Dover and her son, Charles Lane Goss of Worcester, Mass., on Cherry Lane, Madbury. It is the historic DeMerritt mansion, originally built by a soldier of the Revolution and known as "the Powder Major's place."
Dartmouth won the baseball champion- ship in 1892. The triangular league was then Williams, Amherst and Dartmouth. This is a snapshot showing jubilant under- graduates of Dartmouth forming in line for a "peerade" about the campus and else- where. The games were played on the campus. The White Church appears in the back- ground.
