Class of 1881

To one who wishes to understand the problems of a biographer, nothing better can be recommended than reading an article by Herrick, in the Auk of last October, on "Audubon and the Dauphin." To your Secretary Herrick seems to have made out his case, that Audubon and the Dauphin of France were not identical. But read the article for yourselves. It is astounding how much has been written and how many claims made in connection with the Dauphin. As to Audubon, there is no better authority than Herrick, and his twovolume biography, "Audubon the Naturalist: A History of His Life and Times," published in New York in 1917.

Sara Sagar Richardson died at her home in Fairmont, Minn., May 26, 1937. She was a native of England, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke in 1884, and married Dr. Walter Jay Richardson in 1886. Your Secretary had not known before that Dr. Richardson's death, Feb. go, 1936, was the day before what would have been the celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary.

Secretary, West Townsend, Mass.
