1907*

Class dues have been received from 50% of the Class. A good record but hardly good enough! If you have failed to send your check to the Class Treasurer, please mail it now.

Our Hanover correspondent, Dick Southgate, writes as follows: "In addition to seeing the '07 native sons this summer (I refer of course to Sam Bartlett, Morris Smith and Harry Storrs), I ran into Boyd Putnam on the golf course. I don't think I had seen Boyd since June 1907. Also had a nice visit at Alden Tavern Lyme—Bob Merriam's good hostelry—with Jack and Mrs. Hammond.

"Last evening saw Ed and Mrs. Barker and their son who is a Freshman."

On a recent visit to Hanover for the Columbia game the Class Secretary had the pleasure of a visit with Doc Foley, E. B. Barker, Mrs. Barker and their son and Rip and Mrs. Heneage and their family.

Tod Plummer writes,

"I experienced the joys of reliving matriculation at Dartmouth a few weeks ago when my son, Gordon Curtis, became a member of the Class of 1944. I found a larger Dartmouth still a cordial, stirring Dartmouth and my regrets on leaving Hanover after an all too short visit were just as poignant as they always were and always will be.

"My daughter, Natalie, is a Junior at Wheelock, and the other two members of my family, my wife and I, are at Grindstone with our noses in close proximity thereto."

Pat Hathaway came over from New York for the Dartmouth-Harvard game and spent an evening with the Dick Lanes.

Tim Richards is working for the Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company in Providence, R. 1., as their construction engineer and has recently designed and built for them five buildings, intended presumably for defense production.

Edward H. Temple 3d, son of Edward H. Temple Jr., '07, was recently married to Julia Wilbur Forbes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur E. Forbes of Taunton and Falmouth, Massachusetts. Temple is employed by Kendall Mills, Walpole, Mass., and is engaged in sales work in Ohio.

There have been two deaths in 1907 during recent months.

The Reverend John Henry Cone of Wichita, Kansas, died on August 6, 1940. Cone was not widely known in our class When he entered he was ten years older than most of us and had already attended the Bangor Theological Seminary. Since graduation he has been a Congregational minister preaching in the Middle West. A letter received by the Class Secretary last March said that he had retired, was jn poor health, but still interested in Dartmouth affairs and enjoying the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Walter G. Kennedy died in Boston on October 22 as the result of injuries caused by a fall. At the time of his death Walter had been engaged in the investment securities business as he had in fact throughout his business life. During recent years Walter had found the going pretty difficult but he never lost his keenness of mind, his sense of humor, or his determination to re-establish himself. Many of Walter's friends attended the funeral services in Somerville, Mass., on October 25 including his classmates Reilly, Cushman, Stilphen, Smart and Cochrane.

Additional reference to our deceased classmates is published in the Necrology column of this issue.

For the benefit of those who may have overlooked the record of sons of Alumni enrolled in the Freshman class published in the November MAGAZINE, you will find in that record five sons of '07 men:

Craig Barker, son of E. B.; John B. Churchill, son of Perley W.; Harold H. Jamison, son of George; Gordon C. Plummer, son of Curtis; Richard Redington, son of Ted.

Secretary, 140 Federal St., Boston, Mass.
