Class of 1885

Sam Wilcox and John Cunningham have recently changed their home addresses, Sam's present one being 1201 Ave. B, Galveston, Texas, and John's being 1480 Elm St., Manchester, N. H. The Secretary has endeavored to reach them at their new addresses, but regrets that he failed to receive a reply from either.

During the summer the Secretary has had the pleasure of seeing John Brooks and his wife, and has had communications with Sam Hudson, Ed Allen, and Otis Hovey. The latter and Mrs. Hovey spent their vacation at Hartford, Vt., and Otis greatly assisted the Secretary by sending him the newspaper clippings from the New York papers, relating to the death of our classmate, Morrill Goddard, whose obituary appears in this issue of the MAGAZINE.

The Secretary has recently received from our classmate, Dick Currier, the sad news that he suffered a paralytic shock on March 26 last, which temporarily and partially incapacitated him. While his classmates will be sorry to hear this news and join in expressing their sympathy for him, they will be glad to know that his doctor stated that it was not a serious shock, and that he would probably fully recover in a short time. Dick further writes that under the efficient care of his wife and nurse he is making a good recovery, and has regained his speech and is able to walk about with assistance, and takes frequent automobile drives, which do not seem to tire him unduly. His classmates all hope for his early and complete recovery.

MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY

Our classmate, Dr. Frank L. Whipple, continues to receive distinguished honors —the-news has reached the Secretary that at the August meeting of the board of trustees of Middlesex University, he was unanimously elected vice-president and a member of the board of trustees of that institution. For the information of those who may not already know, the Secretary would add that Middlesex University received its charter from the Massachusetts Legislature in May of this year and thereunder took over the powers and assets of two previously existing educational corporations, namely: the Massachusetts University, of which Whipple had been president for eight years, and the Middlesex College of Medicine and Surgery, of which he had been dean for the same period; he also has been made dean emeritus of the Medical Department of the new Middlesex University. The University campus, with its buildings, constitute a 96-acre parcel of real estate, situated at Edgecliff Park, Waltham, Mass.; the present student enrollment of the University is about 300. It will be recalled that our classmate received his degree of M.D. from Tufts College in 1898, and while he never was engaged in the active practice of that profession, he has continued to be very much interested in medicine, as well as in his other educational work.
