Class of 1895
Ernest Gile has recently purchased the residence of the late William Churchill in Lebanon, N. H. He has made extensive repairs to the house. He expects to be present at our reunion in June.
John Hayes will attend the reunion in June.
"Bunker" Bishop was one of the three speakers at the Dartmouth dinner in Washington in April. He spoke on the business and industrial outlook of the Country.
Dr. H. Sheriden Baketel and Mrs. Baketel took a leisurely motor trip through the South in the early spring, visiting Williamsburg, Va., Charleston, S. C., and other southern points of interest. They returned to their farm home in Hunterdon county early in April. They are expecting to attend the reunion in June.
"Willie" Wilson, president of the class, endeavored to start correspondence with every living member of the class in January and February. Unhappily not too many members of the class responded to his attempt. He received replies from Cleaveland, Ford, Foster, Gerould, Gile, Harley, Hayes, Mason, Rumery, Mclndoe, Wight, West, Watson, and Stevens. However, there are indications that the class is waking up and showing real interest in the coming fortieth reunion. We are hoping that every man who can possibly arrange to be present either Saturday or Sunday of Commencement week will give us the pleasure of his presence with members of his family for a few hours at least. It has been suggested that every member of the class send the latest photograph of himself and family so that those who really can't come to the reunion may be thus represented. I wish every man in the class who can't possibly be present would write me a letter to be read at the reunion or send me a telegram at Hanover on Saturday or Sunday of Commencement week.
Holden, Austin, Rossiter, and Stevens constitute a committee on arrangements for the reunion. Our headquarters will be at South Fayerweather Hall. Arrangement for rooms there should be made directly with A. P. Fairfield, manager of the Hanover Inn.
Austin seems to be doing a large business in his special line, namely the manufacturing of ant houses showing the interesting habits of those busy bugs. He is shipping this interesting apparatus all over the country.
Dr. A. D. West has been practicing medicine in Moline, Ill., for many years. He is planning to attend our reunion with Mrs. West and one of his two daughters. His only son was married last March.
Warren Bishop, managing editor of Nation's Business, regrets that he will be unable to be present at the reunion.
Dr. Warren K. French is still a helpless inmate of the State Hospital at Concord N. H. '
Robert Morrison writes that his father, Prof. H. C. Morrison of our class, is still ill, and that it will be impossible for him to be at the reunion in June.
John Hayes is the author of an article on invention published in the May issue of the Journal of the Patent Office Society. This magazine is conducted by patent examiners of the United States Patent Office and is published monthly in Washington. It is an interesting and scholarly article. There are occasional sentences in the article which recall to a '95 man Prof. Gabriel Campbell's lectures in his psychology classes, for instance:
The mental concept is paramount inmany machines or processes based upon thediscovery that by a slight change in themachine or process useful results are obtained."
The one having the mental concept isthe one regarded the inventor in caseswhere the mental concept resides in oneperson and is worked out mechanically byanother as directed by the one having theconcept."
"p I" Folsom, protessor in the School of Law, University of Colorado, writes that jie is under obligation to remain for the summer school at the University, which opens June 15- He has agreed to teach, and for this reason he finds its impossible to attend the reunion. He say, "Can think ofnothing pleasanter than to meet my oldfriends and classmates, but must deny myself that treat this time."
