Class of 1898

Martha L. Clark, daughter of Harry Clark, a graduate from the Oregon State College at Corvallis, has recently been appointed head of the Art Department of all the schools in Corvallis.

In a recent letter from Ted Leggett he says, "I had a good visit with Ich andMary Crane at their hotel here in NewYork last Friday, the day before theysailed on their long trip to Honolulu."

Below are three letters just received on our coming 40th Reunion.

"You may be sure that if we can possibly do so, Mrs. Adams and I will attend the Fortieth Reunion of our class, which is planning to meet at Camp Wawona, West Swanzey, N. H. We have to go to a scientific meeting in Stockholm this summer, and I have been a little afraid that the date of sailing might conflict with the date of the reunion. However, I find that the reunion will precede the sailing of the steamer by what ought to be sufficient time. I think the plan of going to the camp is an excellent one, and we ought to have a fine time talking over old times among the men who will be there.

" 'PETE' ADAMS."

"As the time draws nearer for our 40th Reunion, wife and I are certainly getting more and more interested. Our last two round-ups, one here at our place and one at the Hotel Vendome, showed that '9B has a wonderful spirit of fellowship. It is up to each one of us to keep that spirit warm.

"I believe our 40th will be our best. Mrs. Aubey and I are planning to attend, and our son, his wife, and their son will be with us a part of the time, we hope.

"I think it a capital idea to stop for a time in a camp so ideally located as Camp Wawona, ninety miles on the way to Hanover from Boston and only two and a half hours' ride from Dartmouth. Someone had a bright idea when he suggested such a plan, and we are delighted that the committee saw it at once and made arrangements accordingly.

"Count on the Aubeys for the 40th."

"ISRAEL AUBEY."

"Pressure of business and lack of time won't keep me away from the Camp and Hanover reunions. It will have to be some other reason. Unless some valid reason presents itself, I shall be there.

"I last saw Hanover in 1923 at our 25th. Outside of your strenuous self and Albert Smith I had not seen any of the fellows until I attended the Boston dinner last fall. I shall therefore welcome the opportunity for sit-downs and rag-chews in Hanover.

"Can your committee drag in '40 for the 40th?' Is that enough to win the cup?

"How many of the class still have their senior canes? Why not take them along? Or should we again exchange carvings at this reunion? A cane fits better in the 6o's than it does in the 20's, even if our 20's were in the 'gay 90's.'

"Yours in '98, "FREDERIC SETH POPE."

A letter has just come in from Dr. E. H. Field, and I am pleased to include that in our column.

"I remember you well, of course, as you played half-back right behind me in the Dartmouth freshman-sophomore game in the late fall of 1894, one of the great events in the century that has passed. Score 7-0, freshman won.

"Also a bit of a bickering over the rag until Chuck Emerson came out and advised an adjournment of the event.

"That was forty-three years ago last fall. Quite a step back. I have often wondered why Dartmouth followed me at all, as I was there only a short time. But you would be surprised what an amount of education I assimilated in that short time, not trying to beat Vjaljimir Stefanson who made his degree at lowa in one college year, but Dartmouth in those days was a most inspiring place.

"In regard to a reunion, it seems to me a little premature. Hope to hear from you about fifty years after the game of 1894. I really intend to be there.

"DR. E. H. FIELD, "Vancouver Barracks, Wash."

I am also enclosing below a short letter from Ted, who has done such self-sacri- ficing and efficient work on the Alumni Fund that I don't care to change one word in his brief note to me.

"The March number of the MAGAZINE will contain the results of the last Alumni Fund campaign, and will be sent to every living Dartmouth man. That means that every '9B man will see the fine record of his class, of which we are all so proud. Won't you stick something in our section of the class news in praise of what we have done for long years past and are still doing? It might help some of the men, whom I have never been able to budge, to decide to join us in the good work.

"As this is our reunion year, I am hoping for an even finer Fund record by June 30.

"TED."
