The Fortieth Boston Round-Up at the University Club, Boston, on March and added one more to our unique class gatherings that Ninety-Nine has so successfully held on the first Saturday of March in every year since graduation. The plan of having opportunity for a social hour before: the dinner was followed and was most enjoyable. Twenty-five Ninety-niners and one guest assembled in the dining room at 6:30. After a most excellent dinner messages were read from many of those not able to be present, and mention made of those departed from us since our meeting at Hanover. The gavel was then passed to Nelson Brown who conducted the meeting for the rest of the evening in a manner which he announced to be of a strictly sit down character. The theme of most of the remarks seemed to be on the subject of the feelings of one called upon to speak in public. Incidentally we learned much news of absent members. We noted with much regret the absence of Jim Richardson who was recovering from a bad case of bronchitis at Dick's House in Hanover. A telegram was received from Dan Ford and Hodgkins from Florida. Those present were Allen, 'Beal, Brown, Barney, Clark, Donahue, Dearborn, Gannon, Hoban, Huckins, Hobbs, Hawkes, Irving, Kendall, Lynch, Parker, Sleeper, Sewall, Sargeant, Rogers, Sears, Skinner, Wiggin, Willard, Winchester and Howland Sargeant '32.
Plans are being discussed relative to another of "Tim's Tours," this time they will go, to New Jersey, leaving Boston about Saturday, June 22. If you are interested please let Lynch know at once so the plans can be perfected. These tours have been a great success.
It seems that Florida is very popular this year with Dan Ford at Sarasota, Hodgkins at Delray Beach, Wardle at St. Petersburg, Lyster at Lakeland and Rodney Sanborn at just Florida.
Jim Richardson attended the Whist League Tournament in New York the last of January and as usual brought home some prizes.
We were represented at the New York Alumni Dinner by Chase, Gannon and Sanborn.
Bill Sears has become associated with the Walpole Woodworkers, 767 Walpole, Mass., and is ready to supply us cabins ready to set up at short notice. This business is using some of the hurricane lumber of which there is so much in Massachusetts.
Dr. Raymond Pearl, president of the American Statistical Association, gained considerable press notices from his remarks about denying the ballot to old folks as too foolish to vote.
Benezet attended a convention at St. Louis of the National Education Association at the time of the Boston Round-Up.
