1880

Too late to be included in the last Issue of the MAGAZINE comes a letter from George M. Davidson of Chicago, who at the time it was written was resting at home from a Summer trip to Alaska. Since his retirement from active business, Davie spends a large part of his time driving about the country in his automobile whenever the spirit moves him.

He writes of enjoying very many interesting technical entertainments and meetings in Chicago of the various Professional and Scientific Societies with which he is connected.

In September he drove to Columbus, Ohio, and attended the three days meeting of the American Institute of Mining and Mettalurgical Engineers, but since that time his time has been principally taken up with short trips through interesting places in and around Chicago.

At the time of present writing, he expected if the weather remained mild to stay at home for awhile, but was already planning that when Winter really sets in to go to some milder climate, but had not definitely decided where or when.

We shall hope to hear from him again shortly giving us a description of how and where he is spending the Winter.

We also received a nice long letter from Will Service of St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Will has had a hard time for several years past with a severe illness and numerous operations which have kept him at home as a confirmed invalid most of the time. He writes that about all he can do nowadays is to take care of himself even with the kindly help he receives from others. When able his favorite occupation is reading good books.

All things considered, he is taking life as easy as possible and will be very glad to hear from any classmate.

In spite of it all, he hopes and expects, however, to be in Hanover next June to attend our Anniversary Reunion and sends best wishes and regards to all the boys.

Has any classmate ever heard anything since Graduation of Edwin G. Moore whose last address was given as Belmont, New Hampshire. Your Secretary has written him at that address a number of times and sent him notices and circular letters with return requests thereon if not called for, but has never received any reply nor return. Any information regarding him will be much appreciated.

Secretary, 10 Post Office Square, Boston, Mass.
