Class of 1889

Mention was made last month of a card sent by Ralph Bartlett from Moscow September 15. He expected to be back home in time for the Dartmouth-Harvard game October 23. He reached Boston October 22. His stay in Russia this year was very brief, only a few days. He had a pleasant visit, however, in Lithuania, and came home by way of Berlin and Paris Arthur Chase wrote from Ancon on October 18, that he was having very interesting experiences on his first visit to the tropics

Chester Flagg went to Ithaca, along with many others, for the inauguration, October 8, of Cornell's new president, Edmund Day 'O5. Mrs. Day, it will be remembered, is "Chuck" Emerson's daughter and Chester's niece Nat Noyes called on the Secretary October 25, as he passed through Boston, on his return from a two weeks' vacation, with Mrs. Noyes, in the Adirondacks. He appeared to be in the best of health and spirits We have long known that "Doc" Warden is a useful man in Montana and that through the Great Falls Tribune and in other ways is an influential citizen in his own and other western states and in the District of Columbia. Read this tribute paid to him and his paper by President Roosevelt during his recent trip to the Northwest. "I was delighted this morning to read during mybreakfast this splendid editorial entitled'Balancing the Budget of Our Resources'Great Falls must be a delightful city, for ithas a most remarkable newspaper, and aneditor of more than usual ability

Therefore pleaseconvey to your editor my regards and tellhim that I shall, with his permission, useand quote from this editorial in someoneof my future speeches." (The Secretary has a copy of the editorial and will be glad to share it with any classmate who will write for it) Warden was re-elected (for a third term) president of the National Reclamation Association at its annual meeting at Caspar, Wyo., October is Eighty-nine's representatives in Bostononly three of us left—were present 100 per cent at the annual "after-the-game dinner" at the Boston City Club, October 23. Only ten men from the eighties gathered this year, with one from '91 for good measure. Was the reduced number caused by advancing years or by the down-pour of rain? Several showed their willingness to be drenched in spite of years.
