Class of 1889

The Secretary acknowledges with thanks communications of greater or lesser brevity from ten members of the class during the last month, Bard, Bartlett, Blair, Chase, Davis, Ferguson, Frost, F. J. Hazen, Noyes, and Wellman Arthur Chase wrote from New Haven, December 22, "It is comfortable to be home again, although I hadabout the most interesting time of my lifeat the Zone. The Tropics were all new andstrange, and the jungle so close! I couldhear the drums of the savages at night." • ... A clipping from The Sun (of New York) early in December gave the entire column "Along the Wine Trail," a daily feature of that journal. No comments came "with it except the admission that the "Rutgers University Trailer" who, it appears from the context had challenged some statements of the genial editor, was none other than Emeritus Professor Edwin Bell Davis. And did the editor take "E. B." for a ride? He did! .... Harry Frost's Christmas card was mailed in Jacksonville, Fla. We hope for fuller details later "Fush" Hazen, Lewistown, Mont., who came to our quarter-centennial reunion but has not come to any later ones, has written, "All who are left should make adesperate effort to gel to Hanover in 1939." Hear! Hear! This is the first mention of our "fiftieth." But it is only 16 months away! He continued, "We are all well. Ourgrandchildren are with us and in school.I hear from Dr. Warden frequently buthave not seen him for more than a year." . ... We have heard also from Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Williamson, who reports a second grandchild. Her son David is now "head of the advertising department of automobiles and accessories dethe San Francisco News."
