Class of 1890
Moses, John F. McDonald, and the Secretary were at the alumni dinner. Also at our table were Weston and Doty '92, Rowe, Abbott, and Barrows '91, and Emerson and Thompson '92. Ex-President Angell made as witty a speech as is rarely heard, and President Hopkins was unusually interesting. The moving pictures completed a very pleasant evening.
Pringle is now located at 134 B St., N. E., Washington. Have a recent letter from him for another issue.
Perry Boynton writes as follows: "Your note of inquiry concerning any news of interest to the class of '90 found me basking in artificial sunlight along the eastern shores of the island of Manhattan, in this City of New York.
"At this moment I am convalescing from a quick pneumonia that caught me about the first of the year, and I now find myself about to depart from this place of hibernation, the Rockefeller Institute Hospital.
"Mrs. B. ran off to another hospital with a mild touch of some pneumonia bug, but has beaten me home by a couple of weeks.
"With my doctor son, Perry Jr., carrying on with Boynton-minded patients, I have not had to worry about what has been hap- pening or not happening to my practice these several weeks. As a matter of fact, he's been doing so well I have half an idea I might take this opportunity to retire.
"My other son, Carroll, had been practicing law in this city for over a year when he suddenly announced that he had been appointed an assistant district attorney of New York county. It seems that he is the only Dartmouth graduate holding down a job under the sensational Mr. Thomas E. Dewey, of whom you no doubt have heard. With this member of the family prosecuting 'crime' I know I had better take this opportunity to retire.
"A latest addition to this family made me a grandfather in June. My daughter, Martha, wrought this change in my status. A girl she is who will someday have her view of Dartmouth. When I think of this member of the family I believe it had best be considered that I have already retired.
"I am anxiously awaiting your 'news bulletin' so that I may be able to read over the latest developments in and news concerning the rest of '90.
"Sincerely, "P. S. BOYNTON."
Secretary, 34 Gray St., Arlington, Mass.
