Class of 1895
Albion B. Wilson's name is to be placed on the lengthening list of retired members of '95. He and Mrs. Wilson seem to be enjoying life at their home at aoB Kenyon St., Hartford, Conn. Judging from the hospitality I have enjoyed in their comfortable home, now and then, I'm venturing to suggest that a call from any '95 man will always be welcome there. We used to call him "Willie." He was thus designated, I remember, when he so mightily helped us smaller freshmen give '94 a sound drubbing in the cane rush. So in memory he is still "Willie" Wilson. Last year he and Mrs. Wilson journeyed to England, "but did not," he says, "stay longenough to see any rain or fog in dear oldLondon. I think we must have been therein a time of drouth. The flowers werebeautiful, especially the foxglove, whichwas very abundant in some places. Wewent to Gretna Green, but as we had achaperon along with us there was noexcitement."
Professor Holden appears not to have reached his age of retirement. He is working under full pressure in his various activities. He has recently been in conference about the engineering phase of the long disputed (but now settled) boundary line between New Hampshire and Vermont. He is officially connected with the local CWA projects. The last time I saw him he was immersed in public affairs as one of the town fathers. Altogether he is so busy he doesn't get as much sleep as he did forty-three years ago this winter.
John K. Lord's law office is in the Paul Brown Building, St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Lord has recently lost her father. He died last December.
The name John K. Lord brings back the days of "Tute" White, who was brimful of Latin with especial reference to the odes of Horace. But his scant dignity was entirely melted into guffaws when the monkey and the hand organ and the hopping grasshopper did their stunts at the window and in the classroom. At a reception at our Prof. Johnnie K.'s home, he once referred to the two divisions of Tute's class and the "wooding up" therein, and inquired of me, "Which drum corps are you a member of?"
Ernest Gile has a new distinction. He is once more a grandfather. He and the young parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. James of West Newton, Mass., are rejoicing in the birth of Robert Gile James, on January 6. So young a child is presumed to be without guile, but young Robert G., it seems, it not Gile-less.
