Class of 1897
The last two years have been difficult ones for Taylor. He had hardly recovered from a prolonged period of hospital treatment when a hand became infected and he feared that he must lose it. Happily he has made a complete recovery. He has moved his business from Chicago to Evanston, and the Taylor Candy Corporation is but awaiting a return of prosperity. Robert, the only son, is making a splendid record in Northwestern University.
Frances Kelly was recently married in New London, Conn., to Munroe S. Carrington. She was graduated from Connecticut College and has had employment in an executive capacity in one of New York's largest department stores. Doctor Kelly has an extensive professional practice in Indianapolis.
Doctor McFee of Haverhill and Boston has written of another classmate, "Bish" Hardy of Brookline. Hardy has suffered a physical collapse, from which he seems to be recovering but with a condition of partial paralysis. Hardy as a music composer and orchestral leader has met with constant professional success.
The Secretary has received a philosophical and cheerful letter from Dave Maloney, convalescing in the Taunton State Hospital. Dave refers to a new grandson, David Crawford Carney, and takes comfort in services which he can render to other patients. He sings in the choir, leads in dramatics, and aids in educational movements.
Two Dartmouth homes representing '97 and '99 were made happy by the recent announcement of the engagement of Genevieve Benezet to Richard D. Butterfield. Miss Benezet is a graduate of Vassar and now a teacher of French in Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Conn. She represented her college in the Students' Peace Forum in Geneva in 1931, and in 1932 held the Vassar fellowship, which permitted a year of study at Toulouse. Richard Butterfield followed his Dartmouth course by work in the architectural office of Jens F. Larson, and he is now completing his course in architecture in the School of Fine Arts of Yale University. He spent last summer in European study. Benezet and Butterfield were college mates and were educational associates in New Hampshire school work for a number of years. Each has sent two sons to Dartmouth.
