Class of 1878

Walter V. Hayt of Lincoln, Calif., posed as the oldest, both in class and in years, at the meeting of the alumni of Northern California at San Francisco in April.

Mrs. J. B. Gerould wrote from Italy in July that she was greatly enjoying a trip abroad with a friend.

MEETING AT PARKER HOUSE

Dr. H. A. Tarbell of Watertown, S. D., drove on for a visit in New England, and having seen in the MAGAZINE that the Parker House was luncheon headquarters for Dartmouth men of Boston and vicinity, took the wise precaution of sending notice that he might turn up there. Accordingly Brown, Harlow, Parkinson, and Sawyer lunched with him in the Dartmouth room of that hostelry on July 10 as Brown's guests, and all were glad to be thus brought together.

Moral: (a) Read the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. (b) Serve notice when you are going into the vicinity of classmates. Tarbell had also lunched with Gray on his way.

Tarbell's son is president of the Dental Society of South Dakota, and the latter's name appears as a participant in the program of the National Dental Association for annual meeting.

Geo. I. Harvey of Carthage, Mo., as a friend from boyhood of the late A. H. Carpenter is much concerned for the clearing up of the mystery of Carpenter's death by poison. He reports that there is hope that this may yet come to pass, and that it is already established that the poison was not meant for Carpenter. That he succumbed while the intended victim escaped is explained by the fact that he drank it on an empty stomach and it was absorbed too far into his system before antidotes were applied.
