1879*

For the first time, 1879 is starred in this issue as a 100% class of subscribers to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. It will not make much difference in the subscription list, only four new names. But we are glad to share in making it the best Alumni Magazine inthe Country. The secretary's last note from E. G. Bailey, who died Oct. 22, dated Sept. 20, contained his check for the year's subscription to it.

H. B. Closson is still the senior partner in the law firm of Parsons, Closson and Mc- Flvaine, with which he has been connected for fifty-seven years. He still goes to his New York office daily. He is the youngest living member of the class.

C. M. Darling is another member of the dass who still is active at Lyndonville, Vt. He says he is not as strong as he used to be, but can help considerably in the farm work. He was "very much in favor of Willkie for president." His birthday, August 20, was made especially pleasant by the presence of Susan Darling Ransom, born July 4, 1940.

A message advises of the death of Leonard Graves, at Elmhurst, L. I., Tuesday, Nov. 12.

T. S. Norton spent the summer in New York, making a brief trip to Ascutney, Vt., to visit Mrs. Gladys Gage Rogers. He is now back with his son, James J. Norton, at 834 No. Marguerita Ave., Alhambra, Calif., where he expects to spend the winter. On his way west he stopped at San Francisco to visit his granddaughter and his first great-granddaughter.

Dr. J. H. Tebbetts, who lives in Holster, Calif., expected "to vote Republican as always." Apparently he didn't vote often enough to carry the state for Willkie.

The class has now only four living graduate members and three non-graduate. The interesting article in the October MAGAZINE about Prof. C. A. Proctor brought vividly to mind the time when his father, 'Prof.J. C. Proctor was our Greek Professor. His face strikingly resembles his father's.
