Class of 1878

B. A. Field of Watertown, N. Y., writes that his health is good, his business is expanding, and that he and his son Will, who accompanied him to our 50th, are both looking forward to our 60th. So the signals are set for that approaching event. . . . . Parkinson's dissertation on "The Swearing Mill," printed in the Mail Bag of the Boston Herald ten years ago, reprinted in the Massachusetts Law Quarterly, and credited with some influence in bringing about a radical reduction in the amount of oath-taking required by Massachusetts law, is again largely quoted in the January number of the American Bar Association Journal in support of a plea for a similar reform in federal procedure and in that of other states. Parkinson is quite elated to find an utterance of his echoing down the corridors of time for ten years. .... The class is glad to take note of a grandson of Ike Paul in the class of 1938 in the person of Paul Batcheller Urion, son of H. K. Urion of the class of 1912, and Katharine Paul. The grandsons are on the march.
