Class of 1889

An Associated Press item early in February, from Miami, Fla., states that John Barrett had been taken to a local hospital because of a heart attack.

Some of the class may have overlooked an item from the Washington Club, in the "News from the Alumni Clubs" in the February MAGAZINE. The narrative of the Christmas luncheon for undergraduates, at which talks were given by a representative of each of the four classes now in college, closed with this sentence: "Abrief but extremely effective and eloquentinterpretation of Dartmouth by Blair 'B9closed the event." Is there any member of that Club who has been more intelligently effective or more continuously eloquent in behalf of Dartmouth's ideals and interests than this same Blair?

Arthur Chase has written that his older son is working for a Ph.D. in New Haven this year and living with father and sister, "so we seem quite family-like."

The Secretary was given a pleasant surprise a few days ago by a call from Tom Flynn—the second in the past forty-plus years. One of Tom's daughters, a magazine editor in New York, has a farm in Western Connecticut. She is too busy to spend much time there, but it has been Tom's home for the past few years; P. O. address, Gaylordsville, but the farm is ten miles out, in the township of Sherman. Evidently country life agrees with Tom, for he appears robust and vigorous. This winter he is spending a few weeks in Boston with another daughter, who has three lively children who help keep grandpa occupied and entertained.

At the close of the last academic year C. D. Hazen retired from his position at Columbia University, where for twenty- one years, 1916-1937, he had served as professor of European history. His work was entirely with graduate students, working for advanced degrees. It will be recalled that "C. D." was professor of history at Smith College, also for twenty-one years, 1893-1914. He declined a call to Cornell in 1914, as he was then engaged in research and the preparation of one of his several books on European history. He continues to live in New York.
