Class of 1880
A letter from Dr. Sam King informs us of his appointment by the College as class agent for the Dartmouth Alumni Fund. All classmates have no doubt received a similar letter reminding them that this is his first year as such agent and that he hopes to receive sufficient donations from classmates before June 1 next, to enable him to make a good-sized contribution to the Alumni Fund. So send along your checks, boys, without delay.
Sam also has on hand several volumes of "80 Chronicles Fifty Years Later," one of which he will be glad to send to each member of the class upon request.
My recent letter sent to all classmates has met with a ready response. News, news, and then more news is absolutely essential if we are to continue to be represented in this column.
We are glad to hear from Billy Service of St. Johnsbury, Vt„ who states that he is still able to enjoy life, although he has had to undergo several severe surgical operations during the past years. Consequently he spends most of his time reading, being fortunate in having a good library in town which he makes good use of, and he thinks that if he lives long enough he will get quite wise as a consequence, as he enjoys reading and has an excellent opportunity to gratify his reading tastes.
He is the last of his family, having just received word only a week ago that his last surviving brother was killed by an automobile. He greatly cherishes his recollection of his own classmates, who become more dear and precious to him every day, and sends his kindest regards and best wishes to all. Drop him a line. He will be glad to hear from you.
NEWS FROM CHATTANOOGA
Also we were greatly pleased to hear again from Cap Warner of Chattanooga, Tenn., who claims to be the oldest living member of the class. Cap reports himself to be in good health, an active member of his church and the Billy Sunday Club of Chattanooga. He has also been treasurer of the Bible Study Committee of Chattanooga for fifteen years, which is an outstanding work for teaching of the Bible in the city public schools, in which he is greatly interested, and claims that nowhere else in the United States is the Bible taught so completely and effectively in the public schools.
Cap also has heard from Sam King about the Alumni Fund, and has answered him, and encloses a generous check for the Class Fund and sends his affectionate greetings to all classmates.
The thirty-third annual meeting of the Association of Class Secretaries was held in Hanover, on Friday and Saturday, May 7 and 8, which your Secretary attended. A cordial invitation was extended to all class and association secretaries to come to Hanover for those days as guests of the College, and the Hanover Inn was reserved for their accommodation. These conferences with the administrative officers of the College to discuss ALUMNI MAGAZINE and other common problems are extremely interesting and profitable, and serve to keep the alumni, through their class secretaries, in touch with the current and prospective development and trends as to College policy and life etc.
