Class of 1876

There were present at the dinner of Dartmouth alumni in Boston, February 25, from classes dating farther back than 1880, Newell '79, Parkhurst '78, and Hardison and Piper '76.

It would seem at times that the term "retired" were of doubtful application. Fennel has retired, but he is still active as road- mender and gardener, and, pausing to catch breath, he is alive to cloud shadows on neighboring mountains. Hill has retired, but he is traveling so rapidly through the Southern States that he has no time, apparently, to pen a postal. McCutcheon is out- walking the younger generation, though, like Hill, he is living a retired life. Mrs. James F. McElroy is too active to remain always in one place (even in her home at Albany at the top of an apartment house with windows commanding a wide prospect up and down the Hudson and off to distant mountains), and is spending the winter at Lake Worth, Fla.
