1878*

The full account of our class reunion, printed with illustrations by Parkhurst's munificence, and widely distributed, has brought many responses from near and far, but as yet only one from a classmate not present. That one is from Bouton, who reports that his physician advised him to have his teeth attended to, and since doing so he is quite himself again. The really startling feature of his tale is that he still harbors nineteen teeth of the horse-and- buggy type, long since discarded by most of his classmates. To corroborate his claim of physical fitness he encloses a clipping from the St. Petersburg Times, containing a picture of him with crossbow and target, the latter well studded with arrows, and a not very accurate write-up of the ancient archer.

The secretary of the class of 1879 secured copies of the above mentioned reunion story for all his classmates, whether slyly by way of warning them what to avoid next June at their own 60th or, as he says, by way of recognizing the wane of long cherished class antipathy. Either way, we wish him success.

Mrs. Lewis H. Meader, now residing at 119 Olney Ave., No. Providence, R. I., expresses continued and lively interest in Dartmouth and in the doings of her husband's class. She had hoped that her eldest grandson would enter his grandfather's college, but Brown and the family tradition prevailed, and he with two younger grandsons are now undergraduates in the institution from which her husband obtained his A. M., her father, her two uncles, and her four children graduated, and of which her grandfather was a trustee.

BROWN VS. DARTMOUTH

Not much wonder that the youngsters follow in the wake of such an ancestral parade. Such a tie-up between the two institutions ought to help insure a just and lasting peace in diplomatic relations between Indian and Bear, heretofore sometimes strained.

Mrs. Meader has had a cataract removed recently from her right eye. "Dan" (Ruez H.) Rice's younger daughter, Mildred E., teacher in Holyoke, Mass., High school, says she passes through Hanover on her way to and from her old home in Lyndonville, Vt., likes to think of her father as a student at Dartmouth, and hopes his greatgrandson, recently arrived, will enroll there. Her brother, Albert M., and her sister (Lulu E.), Mrs. Alfred S. Crane, are residents of Springfield, Mass.
