Class of 1890
The following interesting item was recently taken from the local paper of Lyndon, Vt.:
"The last chapel period at Lyndon Institute, May 31, 1935, was unusually impressive and unique because it was madethe occasion of the presentation of specialhonor medals and the announcement ofvarious scholastic honors. The unusual feature of the occasion was the presentation byDr. J. D. Bachand of St. Johnsbury to theschool and to Principal Mathewson distinguished service medals from the Republic of France for highly meritoriousachievement along educational lines. Themedal to Principal Mathewson bore the legend: 'Le Ministere des Affaires Etrangeresoffert par 1935 educateur de merite Ozias D.Mathewson, principal Lyndon Institute.'The presentation of the medals to theschool and to Principal Mathewson wereduly and appropriately acknowledged. Dr.Bachand surprised Mrs. Mathewson by asking her to present the medal to her husbandwith his personal compliments, which shedid, while the whole student body rose totheir feet and applauded lustily, their eloquent compliment to the esteem in whichtheir principal is held by them."
Mathewson's son Philip, who graduated from Middlebury last June, is now located at Michigan University, working for a Master's degree in education. He is also resident alumni counselor for his fraternity, Kappa Delta Rho.
The Lyndon Institute has sent a student to Dartmouth this year on the recently established scholarship for students born or residing in the town of Wheelock. His name is Harland M. Deos.
According to the Boston Herald, former Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire will "in all probability" be a candidate for election to the United States Senate next year. Mr. Moses said that it was still too early to start a definite campaign, but that he would like to return to the Senate. He was defeated for re-election three years ago by Senator Fred H. Brown ('03), a Democrat.
John F. McDonald, Dan Ruggles, and Mann drove up to Hanover with the Secretary to Perley Bugbee's funeral in October. Mr. and Mrs. Young and Prof, and Mrs. Gerould also attended.
The account of Bugbee's life was printed in the News Section of the November MAGAZINE because of his many activities in the town and College since graduation.
Those of us who return to Hanover quite often will surely miss his cheery welcome.
Secretary, 34 Gray St., Arlington, Mass.
