Class of 1888

Again with deep sorrow the Secretary must refer you to the Necrology of this issue, Charlie Stokes passed on in September and Albert Weeks in October. We are indebted to Frank Gove for information about Stokes, and to Fred Walker and Doc Lougee for much of the information about Weeks.

Gove, Frank E.—writes a charming philosophical essay on things in general, with reference of course to current politics (dated Nov. 2), remarking that our class is "checking out much too fast."

Lougee, Doc.—has so far recovered from his recent painful illness that he is now attending to such of his patients as are worse off than he is. His son Laurence has again appeared in a recent number of the Public Utility Magazine, a leading article, showing how the utilities are meeting conditions set up by the "New Deal Securities Act." All investors in '88 should call at 50 Church St., New York, for sound advice.

Lawrence, Dan—Emerson Rice of '87 has just turned over to the Secretary of 'BB a bunch of letters he received from Lawrence, written while Dan was still a boy in years but mature in mind. These are expected to be in our archives at the 50th. After the Harvard game, Oct. 24, nineteen men of the 'Bo's gathered as usual for dinner at the Boston City Club. Considering our age, unusual interest was shown in the pending election. Nineteen men expressed their opinion that Landon would be elected, but varied, of course, in size of the vote.

Note that in this group were Kid Knight '87 of West Virginia, Dan Hadlock '87 of New York, and Emerson Rice 'B7 of Maine. Of what use is a college education? Eighty-eight was represented by Fred Dunlap, Charlie McCarthy, and the Secretary.

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
