1882

Coburn writes "I preach every Lord's Day and enjoy it. Hope to keep on preaching until the cool breezes of Autumn tell me that it is time I took the train for the Coast. We are headed for California for the winter. In addition to preaching each Sunday, am engaged in preparing the program for the Connecticut River Bible Conference." Coburn seems to be in perfect health and as usual is bubbling over with enthusiasm for Dartmouth. He has moved from Amherst to 11 Maple St., Turners Falls, Mass.

Davis writes "I have been well all summer and I suppose that, at our age, is something to be thankful for and I am. My work this summer has been almost all of it ordinary routine work at my office and I have mixed in with this a great many motor trips, on most of which Mrs. Davis accompanied me. Goss of our class is spending the summer at Chelsea, Vermont and I have called on him twice. He seems to be very comfortable. I have not seen or heard from Locke, but I assume he is on his farm at Corinth as usual. DeWitt spent the summer at Long Beach, California to escape the intense heat of Dallas, Texas. Apparently is in good health."

Luques is in better health than at any time during the past five years. On Aug. 9 Kennebunkport held Open House for the benefit of the local library. The Luques homestead was one of the houses thrown open to the public and several hundred persons visited it that day. For four hours Luques explained the murals depicting the early history of the town and talked on antiques. At the end of the ordeal, although tired, he showed no ill effects. Evidently the "old pump" is functioning properly without the need of priming. An unexpected but welcome caller that day was Judge Warren W. Foster '81, who was passing through the town. Luques expects to remain in Kennebunkport the coming winter.

Kelly attended the 50th Anniversary Convention of the National Young Peoples Christian Union at Lynn, Mass. July 9th. He was one of 18 who had been members of the Union in 1889 when the National Union was formed. As Chairman of the Committee on Constitution he prepared a draft of the Constitution and By-Laws, which, after full debate, was adopted with but few changes.

Partridge and his son Henry have an apartment at the Standish Arms Hotel, 169 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Webster has spent the greater part of the summer at his cottage at West Harwich on Cape Cod and returns to his law practice at Chicago with renewed energy.
