Class of 1897

On the College records 123 men are credited to the class of 1897. Thirty-three sons have been sent to Dartmouth, and we hope that four to eight more are now in preparation.

Ben Marshall's oldest son was in the class of 1922. Merrill Boyd's son is in the class of 1936. All of the years between except 1928 have received entrants, and 1930 and 1932 had five each. These men have sent one son each:—Alley; Bacon, A. A.; Boyd, J. M.; Brown, M. F.; Christophe; Conlon; Foss; Gibson; Hardy, H. W.; Johnson; Keating; Lull; Maloney; Meserve; Rowe; Sanborn; Tracy; Watson, A. P.; Watson, M.; and these have been twice represented: —Butterfield, Marshall, O'Brien, Ryan, Smith, S. C., Temple, Ward. Of the 33, one is deceased, five are now in college, and five left before graduation. The remaining 22 are widely employed and in many occupations.

Pillsbury. This has been a hard year for Pillsbury. After decades of perfect health he acquired an infected foot which refused to yield to treatment. Many months of confinement to his home was the result. Finally it was necessary that the leg be amputated, and with artificial aid Pillsbury is learning to walk again. He hopes that he will be able now to carry on again his work as a wholesaler in the meat business. His address is R. F. D., Stamford, Conn. Keating has for years been a leading citizen in Stamford, and has been an appreciated friend to Pillsbury in his illness and hospital experiences.

Mrs. G. C. Boyd died recently in Calais, Me. George died in 1911 and his only child died in infancy.

Let us write to our lady members wedding anniversary letters. Dates and addresses are in our 1933 report.
