Class of 1879

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S. Norton of Pasadena, Calif., spent August and September in the East as the guests of their son, Henry Kittredge Norton '05, of New York. For two weeks in August they were with relatives at Lake George, N. Y., and then for a few days in Boston. Late in September the father and son and their wives made a trip to Vermont to enjoy the autumnal foliage. They called briefly on Secretary Smith at Proctor, crossed over to Hanover, and on their way down the Connecticut valley stopped at Ascutney, Vt., to have "tea" with Hon. Seth N. Gage '79 and his wife. "Tommy" had a severe operation two years ago, but seems very well and active now. His son Henry is assistant to the president of the Radio Corporation of America, and is also listed in "Who's Who" as an author and lecturer, with a long list of books and magazine articles to his credit.

The ashes of Charles S. Cook, who died May 27, 1934, in Los Angeles, Calif., were interred in the family lot at Keene, N. H., October 23, 1935. His nephew, Dr. Paul C. Cook of Providence, R. 1., and his wife, and a few relatives from the vicinity were present. His classmate, Rev. Clifford H. Smith of Proctor, Vt., read the committal service, prefacing it with a few words concerning Cook's career as a tutor at Dartmouth for seven years and professor at Northwestern University, and the high esteem in which he was held by all who knew him.

Henry B. Thayer, LL.D., became quite ill while at his summer home in Maine, and was obliged to return to New Canaan, Conn. On the advice of his physician, he did not attend the fall meeting of the Dartmouth board of trustees, but reports himself as recovering, though obliged to conserve his strength and be moderate in physical matters, a new experience to him.

A newspaper item under a Woodstock, Vt., headline, Nov. 4, says:—

"After a month's tour of the Middle Westand South in the interest of his bank,Charles F. Chapman, president of the Ottauquechee Savings Bank, returned homeyesterday, convinced that farming and business in general is on the 'upgrade' in theseveral states he visited This wasChapman's 49th annual trip to Missouri,Kansas, Arkansas, and Georgia."

Mrs. Charles M. Hough has moved from New York to the "Prospect Apartments," Princeton, N. J., in order to be near her daughter Nancy, Mrs. E. Baldwin Smith, whose husband teaches at Princeton. The Smiths have a son, Nathaniel Baldwin Smith, born June 21, 1935.
