Class of 1893

Ernest August Schimmler of Hanover, Germany, came to Hanover, New Hampshire, in the autumn of 1892 as a transfer from Amherst College, took his senior year work with us, and received a Dartmouth diploma as a member of the class of 1893 in June. Since then, so far as the Secretary has been able to learn, no member of the class had seen Schimmler or heard from him directly until last month, and his address has been carried in the class and college records as unknown. Now we learn through a before-Christmas letter from President Cox that Schimmler's address is Suite 1604, 201 North Wells St., Chicago, 111.; that he has divided his time since graduation about equally between Germany and this country; and that he has taught languages in several American colleges.

Now, in this matter of addresses, we can have a clean slate for the first time if some one will inform us as to the present whereabouts of Frank Clarence Dow, collegiately known as "Mush," who was made, by the St. Johnsbury Academy crowd and the Dekes, the first president of the class of 1893 at a meeting in September, 1889.

Sam French's son, Harold, has been elected from the town of Lebanon to the House of Representatives of the New Hampshire legislature. Dr. Elam R. Wright, calling upon the Class Secretary recently and changed as little by the years as any man in the class, reports the election of his son, Murray, junior high school principal at Nashua, to the board of directors of the Community Fund in New Hampshire's Second City. Aborn and Bill Mann were others of the Secretary's recent callers, and the holiday mail brought remembrances from Gordon, Griffith, Martyn, Woodbury, Metcalf, and Aborn.

George W. Boutelle was one of the committee in charge of the appearance of the Dartmouth musical clubs at Nashua recently under the auspices of the local alumni association.

A new and very interesting feature of the home offices in Boston of the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company is President Cox's "trophy room," in which are displayed souvenirs of his nation-wide tour of the company's general agencies. The Boston papers gave much space in text and pictures to an account of the collection, which includes silver loving cups and such things and also some items especially appropriate to the President's personality, such as a handsome model of a race-horse from Kentucky, a porcelain "grog jug," a model copper still from West Virginia, etc.

At our next reunion our distinguished classmate, Samuel P. Hunt, will be introduced under the new name of "OldSleuth." At a recent trial in Manchester of the pastor of the Greek Church of the Transfiguration for arson in connection with the destruction of the church building by fire, Sam was introduced as an expert with Dartmouth, Harvard, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology connections, and testified in regard to the composition of wax found on the clergyman's shoes and also in the burned church.

Secretary, 104 North State St., Concord, N. H.
