1905*

Vaughan writes that he hopes to come East this fall to visit his son Jim, who is in the Junior Class. We trust that this trip will be arranged so that he will be at the Class dinner . .. Fletcher Hatch made his regular business trip to Guatemala in August . . . Fletcher Junior entered the University of Maine in September . .. We are glad to know that Mrs. Emery is successfully recovering from a serious illness this summer. Walter himself is called to St. Louis on business the week of October 22, which may prevent him from being present at the dinner. If unable to attend, it will break his record of twenty years' standing.

Elsie Grover's log cabin is under construction but not sufficiently completed to have an outing there this fall. He has suggested postponing the dedication exercises until some time next year. Mrs. Grover and he are planning to take in the Yale and Cornell games this season. During the summer they toured the White Mountains and on their return dropped in at Bob Merriam's hostelry at Lyme. Elsie reports that Bob is doing a brisk business, and reservations during the fall should be made in advance.

In a letter to Hills, W. J. Campbell wrote that he and Mrs. Campbell spent the summer vacation at Hubbard Lake, Michigan, and that he is now back at Atlanta Theological College of which he is the president. This college is connected with Vanderbilt University, at Chattanooga. Campbell reports a large entering class and every prospect for an active year. He expects to be back for the reunion next June although it comes very near his own Commencement. His daughter Louise attended the Cornell summer school this year.

In the Washington Star of September 23, we read that Harold King, who has been assistant to the commandant of the United States Coast Guard and former commissioner of lighthouses, retired from active service and was tendered a testimonial luncheon in the Department of Commerce Building.

"Among the speakers were Admirals L. C. Covell and H. F. Johnson of the Coast Guard and Assistant Secretary of Commerce J. Monroe Johnson.

"Capt. King was commissioner of lighthouses from 1935 until the Lighthouse Service was transferred July 1 from the Department of Commerce to the Coast Guard. He joined the Government service in 1902 as an employe of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and transferred to the Lighthouse Service in 1911.

"Capt. King represented the United States at a meeting called at Genoa, Italy, in 1929 for the consideration of a uniform international system of coastal aids to navigation."

Bill Clough is the latest initiate into the grand-daddies Club, William P. Clough 111 having been born Sept. 3d. Congratulations all around.
