Class of 1888
Clark, John Lew—"The Rev. and Airs.John Lew Clark announce the marriage oftheir daughter Anna to Mr. Joseph HaroldStubbs on Saturday, August 10, 1935, atExeter, New Hampshire." (Announcement.)
Another. The Lancaster, N. H., paper, date of July 10, announces the marriage of Robert L. Clark, Dartmouth 1928 (son of John Lew) to Miss Pauline Keysar of Guildhall, Vt. Thus John Lew has one in his family every thirty days.
Livy writes on June 12: "When returning from a ten days' fishing trip in Mainelast Saturday, I spent the day and Sundaywith Mr. and Mrs. John Lew. Had a bullytime. John has an attractive new home,the house formerly occupied by Prof.Wentworth, and hence made sacred by theshades of Algebra and Geometry."
English, Lee F.— Ralph, his son, kindly sent to the Secretary a wire on June 1, giving the sad news of his father's death at Wilmette, Ill. (See Necrology.) Excerpts from the many letters received since his death: "In devotion to scholarship and toidealism, which seems now so sadly declining, Lee is still our class leader." (Pattee in 1933 class report.)
"Lee will be a great loss to the class." (Livermore, June 12, 1935.)
"Lee and I were schoolmates at Haver-hill Academy. As a boyhood friend and awise adviser I cherish his memory as aprecious gift." (Stanley Johnson '87, June 13. 1935.)
"It was a shock to learn of the passing ofLee English As I look over the fullhalf century of our acquaintance, thething that stands out in his college lifewas his freedom from what needed to beoutgrown He led the class our firstterm and kept it up His success asa teacher and his early won high standingin the legal profession are known to us all.. . . . He was a credit to himself, to hiscollege, and to his country." (Warren F. Gregory, June 16, 1935.) Livermore, Arthur L Livy, good fellow, represented the class at the last Commencement. Incidentally, his son Russell had his 20th anniversary.
Pattee, Fred Lewis—"The First Centuryof American Literature, 599 pages, published by D. Appleton-Century Cos., $3.50." Thus says the New York Times book reviews of June 30, which devotes nearly a full page to Pattee's latest book. We quote a dozen words from the Times review: "Poe was a genius thrown into the muck-heap of an unliterary generation." The class should present a copy to the Secretary with which to start his education.
Richardson, William J.—Billy Rich writes casually of a period in the hospital. Says he is much better now. Of Lee English he writes he was a fine fellow, as he found in the 90s through camping and fishing with him.
Spalding, Charles R—This time the Secretary thinks he is right, for Charles writes from Jacksonville, Fla. Address, 1042 Oak St.
Weeks, Albert M— It appears that Doc Lougee is a constant reader of the Newsand Critic, Laconia, N. H. Weeks notes his readiness to receive subscriptions from anv other members of the class.
Williams, Berton—Mr. Farley discovered Berton's efficiency just in time to avoid a vacancy in the office at Ayer, and Berton writes that the report in the last issue was as much exaggerated as the report of Mark Twain's death.
Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
