Class of 1903
Another of our classmates has closed the book and passed on to the larger life. It makes us pause to reflect, carrying us back to the days when we were privileged to know one and another intimately. Quiet, unassuming, persistent after knowledge, a scholar of more than the average ability, "Mous" Avery exemplified real culture. He made his mark with real depth of incision in his chosen field of endeavor and was loved and respected by a host of intimates. At his funeral held in St. Mark's church in Washington, Charles Luce, Charles Webb, Frank Perham, Harold King, and Andrew Jackson represented our class, while the edifice was filled from wall to wall with friends and associates of the Congressional Library and that multitude of other interests of which he was a factor.
Elizabeth Scudder of the senior class at the New Hampshire State University, daughter of Prof. Harold H. Scudder, Dartmouth '03, has been chosen class historian.
Ned and Charlotte Kenerson's trip to Florida brought them into contact with several Dartmouth men of our generation. At the National Education Association meeting at Atlantic City, Win Rice's path was crossed most happily. Win was serving on two committees of the N. E. A. to draft reports on courses of study in the social sciences, and together Ned and Win settled "many problems of the world past and present." Roy Hatch '02 and Walter Young '01 were among the Dartmouth friends at the convention. In Washington a call was made upon "Mous" Avery, at the time in a serious condition. Andy Jackson guestticketed Ned at the University Club, and spoke quite convincingly of his most interesting task as counsel for the Securities Division. In looking over Ned's letter I find no mention of golf played in Florida, but I am persuaded that his summer's cards will show the benefits of spring practise.
Mr. and Mrs. Preston W. Howard of Brockton, Mass., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Rhoda Marion Howard, to Mr. Francis Henry Mac Duff, son of Mr. George E. Mac Duff of Brockton. Miss Howard graduated from Boston University in 1933. Mr. Mac Duff received his degree at Massachusetts Institute of Technology the same year, and graduated from the Army Flying School at Kelly Field in Texas in February. He is now stationed at Brooks Field, also in Texas.
Secretary, 198 Humphrey St., Marblehead, Mass.
