1900*

With the beginning of this present volume of the MAGAZINE the attention of the Class is called to an engagement, to which all others must and will be subordinate, imperative on each and every member; the Commencement period of 1940, at which time occurs the only fortieth reunion to be celebrated by 1900.

The June round-up was held in the region now for so many years the seat of such activities on the part of our group, the Follansbee Inn at North Sutton, N. H. Twenty-five members were in attendance, as follows: Atwood, Balkam, Barker, Brooks, Butterfield, Cristy, Dunlap, A. P. Fairfield, Firth, Hayden, H. M. Jenkins, Mahoney, Manion, Merry, Prescott, Proctor, Rankin, L. B. Richardson, Sampson, Sanborn, F. D. Sears, Trull, D. D. Tuttle, Wallace, Woodman. Despite the lamentable damage done by the hurricane in that region, the surroundings are still attractive; despite the fact that we are getting older, we still seem, to ourselves, at least, to be about as we used to be. The gathering was pronounced by all to be unusually pleasant; everyone said that he had a good time. Those members of the Class who cannot or who do not make these gatherings a feature not to be missed, can hardly be aware of just what they are missing.

It has not always been possible to keep informed of the addresses of the wives of those among our number who have gone from us. In particular the whereabouts of the widows of the following men we do not know: Berry, Boyd, Clark, Cook, Dearborn, Drew, Dutton, Eaton, Gibbons, Gibson, Ham, Hildreth, R. T. L. Lewis, Lunt, Morse, Murray, Norris, C. A. Rich, Sargent, Stevens, Standish, Thayer. If any member of the Class knows the address of any one of them, he is asked to report it to the Secretary.

Clarence McDavitt reports a most interesting period in attendance at the sessions of the International Labor Conference at Geneva, as well as private discussions in France and England with prominent industrialists and labor leaders. He returned to this country early in July.

Mrs. Marian Emerson was compelled to submit to an operation of much severity in the Mary Hitchcock Hospital at Hanover early in August. Her recovery, although slow, has been steady, and she now hopes to be able to return to her home at no distant date.

From Channing Sanborn comes word of the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth, on August 19 at Tilton, N. H., to Mr. Wayne Francis Comer.

The engagement of Harry Davis' daughter, Mary, to Mr. Lawrence Allen of Waban, Mass. (Dartmouth '31) is announced. The marriage is to take place in September.

Harry Hutchins has spent the summer as usual at Blackacre, Lancaster, N. H., apparently much restored in health and entirely himself in spirits.

At the spring meeting of the New Hampshire Medical Society Dr. James B. Woodman of Franklin was elected President of the organization—an honor worthily bestowed and highly deserved.

Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
