1900*

Dr. James B. Woodman was elected President of the New England Surgical So- ciety at a meeting held recently at Poland Springs. This society is composed of some 150 surgeons in New England and this is the first time in twenty years that New Hampshire has been honored by its presi- dency. Jim, however, has had experience in such executive positions, having been in the past President of the Merrimack County and the New Hampshire Surgical Society and having just retired from the presidency of the New Hampshire Medical Society. His classmates join his many other friends in congratulating him on this well deserved honor.

The Secretary spent a Sunday recently in upward and eventually downward progress on Colonel Teague's Mt. Washington Railroad. Henry was not present that day, but his subordinates report a good season of mountain travel.

Mrs. Fairfield was in Hanover recently and speaks of the successful operation of The Fairfield at Daytona Beach, with Perry very busy in the conduct of the new enterprise. She also reports a new granddaughter, recently born to Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Day.

Gil Balkam says that he has to be very quiet, but is picking up slowly and has been able to devote some time to his work in the Quincy Bank. He and Mrs. Balkam spent a period during the summer at Brewster, on Cape Cod.

John Warden, after staying most of the summer in Rhode Island has returned to Hanover, still somewhat troubled by the results of his automobile accident in the spring. He and Mrs. Warden plan to spend the winter as usual in Florida, while their son remains in St. Paul where he is a student in the University of Minnesota.

Since the above notes were written word has been received of the sudden death on October 11 of Channing Sanborn, for many years Superintendent of Schools at Tilton, N. H. A more complete notice will appear in the December issue.

Secretary, 11 N. Park St., Hanover, N. H. Treasurer, 212 Mill St., Newtonville, Mass.
