1893*

How many of the Class of 1893 remember the large meerschaum Class pipe? It has been until very recently in the possession of our Class Secretary and now rests with the Acting Secretary. A note from "Skid" is as follows:

"I have cudgelled my brain for memories of the class pipe, but without result. As in your case, the only fellow I can recall in connection with it is Bob Maynard. I think that at some class meeting in either freshman or sophomore year, "Bob" addressed the class on the desirability of our class having a pipe as, he said, was the custom at Yale. As I remember, a small class tax was levied to buy one, and "Bob" was authorized to make the purchase and be the custodian of the pipe. I cannot recall any one else smoking it or its appearance at class dinners or on Class Day, 1893. How it came into my possession or who broke the stem I have not the slightest idea. Hope somebody can clear the mystery." Further information regarding this pipe is desired.

"Skid" also writes that all is well with him, which surely speaks well for the attention and care which he is getting from the members -of his family and Miss Mitchelson, his constant attendant. He has heard from "Billy" Mann who, presumably, is at his usual winter headquarters in Vermont, "whose letter," he says, "was rich in reminiscence."

Ted Weston is a Charter Member of the recently formed Kiwanis Club at Derry, New Hampshire.

Our President's sister-in-law, the wife of Walter Cox, Guy's oldest brother, met with a sad accidental death near Goshen, New York.

Calls at Marlboro found Greeley in good spirits, and he interestingly told of his first days at Hanover when he roomed at what was the "Phi Gam" House next to where "Bobbie" Bartlett lived. His efforts to keep warm during the first winter on the third floor of this house brought back many recollections of our own experiences during those hard winters of that period. Gordon is still in the North. Although he had contemplated going South this winter, it seems that it was best for him to continue for the present, at least, at his home in Newton Center, Mass.

A call at the swanky Viking Hotel, Newport, Rhode Island, to see Ebbs resulted in a blank. We did learn, however, that while his home is on Powell Street, Newport, he spends his winters at the hotel with his son. We recall that Ebbs lost his wife several years ago, and soon after his son "Larry," who was very prominent in Newport affairs, passed on quite suddenly at his winter home on an island off the coast of Georgia. He has a daughter whom we believe has taken special honors in science and we believe has a doctor's degree.
