1903*

The annual night before the Harvard game dinner at the Boston City Club proved to be another enjoyable gathering of classmates. Prexie Whelden, Ned Kenerson, Harold King, George Reed, Orvil Smith, Harry Watson, Dick Brown, Charlie Luce and Ned Burbeck came early and stayed late. At times one would have thought that a political clinic was in session, and as a climax feature the astute politico, Brutus Luce, rounded up and introduced Congressman Tobey of New Hampshire who gave us an up to the minute resume of the political situation. Being a Harvard man his failure to predict the score of the morrow's game left us all hopeful.

Following the game on Saturday a fine group of 23 cold and hungry '03ers gathered at the Hotel Commander, Cambridge, for a delightful evening. Among the number were Harold and Edith King of Washington, D. C., who in the past four months have travelled across the country and back besides making a boat trip up the shores of Alaska fulfilling a dream of long standing that sometime they would make a leisurely trip over their own country. Then there was Fred Baker, barrister of the north country, just as debonair as ever and George Reed down from Montpelier, Vt. With him his son, Sheldon '32, formerly a teacher of Biology at McGill University, now teaching at Harvard. Pip and Jane Howard, Dick and Helen Brown, Harry and Edith Watson, Dana and Isabel Whipple, Ned and Charlotte Kenerson, Orvil and Amy Smith, Hamlin and Mary Bennett, Charlie and Edith Luce, and Ned and Edith Burbeck.

President Harry Watson at the close of the dinner spoke in memory of Arthur Hanlon and Dr. Laurence Swan and in a happy vein told how they and their records in life had meant so much to outclass. It was a delightful evening of old friends gathered with a common tie. May there be many more of them.

Mrs. Winifred Hall, wife of Rev. Charles Tabor Hall of Arlington, Mass., died Oct. lath of cerebral hemorrhage. Mrs. Hall will be remembered as a frequent attend- ant at reunions. Besides her husband she leaves two daughters and two sons. The sympathy of the class goes out to you Charlie.

George Reed of Montpelier, Vt., a graduate of Thayer School, constructor of many of Vermont's fine roads, street and water commissioner of the city for years has gone into business for himself manufacturing concrete pipe culverts, boundary markers, cemetery vases and urns, lawn furniture and other concrete products. Name of firm, Green Mountain Reenforced Concrete Pipe Co. Success to you, George, is the wish of the class.

General Jackson was missed at our dinner this year being closely confined to his desk in Washington. Andy held something of a record, like Carl Woods '04, never having missed a Harvard-Dartmouth game since the stadium was dedicated.
