1894*

Chief Justice John E. Allen of Keene is chairman of the New Hampshire Committee to Defend America. Says our correspondent, "He is busy conducting public mass meetings throughout the state."

John Phillips spent an anxious summer because of an accident to Mrs. Phillips. She was in the Franklin, N. H., hospital from early in July recovering from a badly fractured arm received in an automobile accident in front of their Webster Lake Home. She is improving but perhaps too slowly for John's comfort and peace of mind not to speak of his wife's. John has returned to Phillips-Andover to substitute in the Latin department for a while.

If you had been in Portsmouth, N. H., on the evening of September sth and gone to the Hotel Rockingham you could have looked in on a "Good Neighbor Dinner" given by John Henry Bartlett for Calvin Page Bartlett. There were one hundred and fifteen guests. John writes that his son succeeds him as President of the Portsmouth Trust and Guarantee Company and reminds us that he is with Gaston, Snow, Hunt, Rice, and Boyd, lawyers of Boston. John has lately written a brochure of thirteen pages entitled, In Memoriam, JosephDelmar Bartlett.

Another '94 retirement has taken place. This time the guilty man is Frederick A. Bushee who has been professor of Economics and Sociology in the University of Colorado since 1912. For twenty years of this period he was also Acting Dean of the School of Business Administration.

His career has been an unusually busy and interesting one as evidenced by account which this writer has in front of him. Space does not permit an account t the books he has written, the societies which he belongs, the significant part he has had in the entire life of the University and of the years of preparation at other' stitutions which fitted him to head what is called the University's "multi-branched de partment of Economics, Sociology, political Science and Anthropology." He has nO. been the dry-as-dust professor as is evi denced by this statement:

"Long after many a former economic student has all but forgotten the law of diminishing returns and Malthus' theorv of population, he will recall with a smile Dr. Bushee's pithy outline of what makes the stock exchange work."

His work at the University and his life in general have gained a much greats significance because

"Dr. Bushee could probably claim the title as the University's No. i Globetrotter for he and Mrs. Bushee have traveled in England, the European continent, Scandinavia, Russia, the Orient—all of tie world's present danger zones, and thev have been especially interested in the sociological aspects of the countries visited.

Fred and his wife expect to remain in Boulder and "have no special plans for the future."
