Hill favored us with a call Knight passed the summer on his farm with occasional visits to the office. Sec. Blakely '89 was a caller there last May, and in his excellent report described the farm as follows:

"For over thirty-five years Ed and his family have spent several months each year on a 500-acre farm. Horses, cows, sheep, pigs, turkeys, geese, ducks, hens, all thrive there. Hay and grain are produced in abundance. My New England heritage caused me to be particularly thrilled by the huge apple orchard—thousands of trees laden with fruit, almost ready to be picked, made a picture which I shall remember always. A short distance from the 'big house' and on higher ground, so that there is a view of hills and valleys in four directions, stands the house occupied by the son, Edward D., Dartmouth 'l6, and his family."
