Class of 1876

The class of '76 can take no credit for tree planting. It would have been fitting enough to plant a tree in celebration of the 60th, last June, but no one thought of it. There is a memory that a group of classmates at graduation went to Dartmouth Park and selected a sapling to be known as the class tree of '76. This episode seems to have had no place in class history.

Hill, out of hospital several weeks ago, is at the home of one of his sons in Chattanooga, Tenn. He purposes a still further penetration of the Sunny South in search of a location where the milder conditions may be enjoyed till March, when he intends to return. The only other traveler of the class group, Mrs. J. F. McElroy, of Albany, has reached the home of her daughter, Mrs. William H. Gardiner, in Seattle, Wash.

Late last autumn a letter was received from Charles H. Fennel, Arlington, Vt., in which he expressed regret at the approach of cold weather, and that he would soon be entering on a long winter confinement within doors. Here it is, almost the end of January, and doubtless the dwellers in southern Vermont have been able so far to go about much as in summer. Fennel, if he preferred, might even have kept up, to a degree, his favorite occupation of road- mending on the grounds about his home at Arlington.
