The state of Vermont, which contributed 23 of its native sons to the 104 total membership of the class of 1893, comes across this month with the material for the two principal news items for our space in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE pages. One is the election of Dr. Lester Warren Burbank, chief citizen of Cabot, as president of the Vermont Medical Society, and the other is the acceptance by Judge Edward Griffith of Manchester of appointment as class agent for the Alumni Fund. Congratulations to "Burb." on the well-deserved honor that has come to him, and thanks and appreciation to "Eddie" for entering cheerfully upon a tough task to which his predecessors, Charlie Gordon, Billy Jarvis, and Horace Greeley, gave a lot of time, thought, and work. Let's make the job as easy for the Judge, as we can, boys.
Crossing the Connecticut to New Hampshire, we find the Laconia Evening Citizen, owned and edited by the vice-chairman of the Democratic state committee, devoting a two-column article to State Senator A. L. Calef of Barrington, under the headline "Small Town Big Business Man Urged ToSeek Governorship," and concluding, "If hedecides to be a candidate, New Hampshirewill have the pleasure of seeing a quiet, deliberate, thoughtful man, a good neighbor,a shrewd business man, with a kindly senseof humor, a man with a large acquaintanceand some deep friendships, a person closeto the pulse of the everyday man andwoman, a heavy tax-payer, interested inimprovements, seeking the highest office ofthe state."
