1915*
And now for results of some of our recent peregrinations.—Max Wilcox, physician and surgeon, and domiciled in Woburn, Mass., has recently been appointed as Medical Examiner for the Fourth Middlesex District in Massachusetts. Further honors have also come to Max from his recent election as Vice President of the Boston University Medical School Alumni Association Kell Rose, one of the Vice Presidents of Chase National Bank, and who has long been located at 18 Pine St., has been moved up town to their Grand Central Branch at 422 Lexington Ave Charlie Griffith, music editor of Silver, Burdette Cos., well known New York music publishing house, was re-elected president of the board of trustees of the Glen Ridge Library at its annual meeting Feb. sth. Charlie is well known in New Jersey musical circles as an amateur violinist, on the board of directors of the New Jersey Orchestra, and a member of the board of trustees of the Montclair Art Museum. For many years he has been director of music at the summer school sessions of Lassell Junior College at Auburndale, Mass. Charlie has been with Silver, Burdette Co. since graduation At a meeting of the Association of Highway Officials of the North Atlantic States, held in Atlantic City Feb. 15-17, Hubert Sargent was elected president of the organization. At one of the meetings Hubert delivered to 1700 officials a talk on "mixed-in-place" type of road construction, of which type of road Vermont is considered to have the best of any state in the union. Hubert was chief engineer for the Vermont Highway Department from 1925 to 1930, and since 1930 has been State Highway Commissioner.
Hubert and roads are synonymous in Vermont and we cannot get along without either. Incidentally, Hubert was appointed on Feb. 23d to serve another term as Vermont's Highway Commissioner. Heard from Lee Graham the other day,—Lee, the squire of Hartland, Vt.,—farmer, and philosopher. Lee straightened me out on a few matters of class history, which I should have known, but did not. Lee told me something about his herd of fine Jerseys, and especially about the head man of the herd, which, incidentally, came from up here in Orleans County. Twenty-one bull calves out of a possible twenty-six, and Lee trying to raise a herd of milking cows. I'd swap that head man for a dog, and then give the dog away We are still on the search of one Frank Jakiel Harlow, last known address being 25 St. Stephens St., Boston. Can anyone help us 0ut?.... Speaking of Harlows, we have Hal Harlow, in business in Arlington, Mass., that town made famous by Dale Barker, and aided and abetted by Ben Slade And whom we knew in 1915 as Fred Harlow is now well known as Fred Bartlett of Worcester, Mass., long with the American Steel and Wire Co Who knows as to the whereabouts of Jack Hurlburt, whose last address was the American Mining Congress, Washington? Our Washington delegation, Dr. George Adams, Attorneys Ralph Brown and Freddy Pearce and Engineer Johnny Pendleton should go on a still hunt and locate this man Jack.
Dr. Ralph A. Sawyer, professor of physics at the University of Michigan, spoke on Feb. 15th on Spectrochemical Analysis ofIron and Steel before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at the University of Toledo. Dr. Sawyer has been a leader in the spectroscopic examination of metals which has become an important factor in engineering and metallurgical fields. He is head of the physics department of the University of Michigan. He did graduate work at Chicago, interrupted by a year in the Navy, and has been at the University of Michigan since 1919 except for two years spent in study in Germany. He has two children and the boy is in Cranbrook School, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Macy drugs went into a drug store—the J. B. Blood Cos., Lynn, Mass.,—about six months ago. In this corner, Milmore. In the other corner, Ruml. Both boys members of this club. Beardsley and Norvie will have to tell us all about it next June.
Matthew R. (Shorty) Gray, is commercial superintendent of the United Telephone Company at Clinton, Missouri. His oldest girl is in the University of Chicago and his next oldest graduates from high school in two years. He is giving the matter of attending our twenty-fifth "some high powered concentration" which means that Shorty will be with us next June.
The New York Sun of March 7, 1940 announces that Albert Bradley, a vice president of the General Motors Corporation, today was elected a director of the Chemical Bank and Trust Company. Congratulations Al.
The next New York 1915 Dinner will be at the Dartmouth Club at 7 o'clock Wednesday April 17 th. The Boston Alumni Banquet will be at the Copley Plaza at 6:30 Friday April 12th.
25TH REUNION ATTENDANCE
The 1894 Cup—The best percentage of attendance at reunions on record was made in 1914 by the Class of 1864. They had 90.9% of their graduates back for that reunion.
The 1930 Attendance Cup is given to the class having the largest number of men present at reunion, regardless of whether they are graduates or non-graduates and without reference to percentage, 1930'ssth year Reunion attendance of 165 has never been equaled.
Dale Barker, Chairman of 1915's Reunion Attendance Committee, hereby issues an official communique to the effect that he and his committee of fifty tried and true 1915'ers have launched a vigorous attack with the objective of capturing both the 1894 and the 1930 cups at our 25th Reunion next June!
1915 MEMORIAL FUND REPORT
Our Class Memorial Fund since the last report shows a substantial gain on March ist we had 125 subscribers and a fund of 17,607. This is indeed a most representative showing in every respect and the Committee wishes to express its deep appreciation for the generous response and cordial endorsement represented by the totals.
We could not find a picture of our 1915 Freshman Football Team—but we did find this picture. It does not include some of those who played on the team like Winship, Wayman, Rector and Schuster but it may recall to those who did answer the first call, the scarcity of good equipment and the fact that it was difficult to find two shoes that were mates, or two stockings of the same color. This is all quite in contrast to the present.
Although there will be no further solicitation, other gifts will be received right Up to the time of Commencement and it is very possible that with many men still having failed to express their intention to subscribe we may well reach the $ 10,000 mark by June. 0 East 17th St., nEW York City.

THE ALUMNI FUND
Dear Classmates: The record of the Class for the years 1936-7-8-9 has been only fair. Each year ,915 has given approximately 85% of its quota with about 70% of the Class contributing. Last year on combined rating 1915 was twelfth in the list of Classes. The combined efforts of assistant agents, Dick Clarke, Charlie Comiskey, Bill Huntress, and John Loomis, and head agent, Russ Livermore, have not as yet been successful in raising the full quota of the Class.
This year the agents are really going to "turn on the heat" and get that quota in the 25th Reunion Year. If every one of the regular givers to the Fund would increase their contributions by 10% and the sporadic contributors would all give, the
quota, which will be about $3,400.00, would be exceeded. The Class is going to give the College a splendid gift at its 25th reunion, but the Alumni Fund is just as important and this is the year we must reach our goal. Let's beat the joint record of 103% of the quota made by Turk Turner in 1925 and Johnny Mullin in 1928 and Turk Turner's 1925 record of 213 contributors!
The campaign will start soon with the mailing of the usual matter by the College and letters and calls from the agents. So to all of you who read this the message is "Get that quota—give the extra 10%." See you in June! Russ LIVERMORE 22 East 40th St., Class Agent, 1935-40.New York City.
To the Class- From the pen or quill of some ancient scrivener came this rhetorical question
How comes it that, at eventide,— Man,—takes unfailing pride In memories of his frolic youth? and it is doubtful if anyone has bothered to attempt its refutation. While we disclaim membership in this categorical "eventide," none can deny us the pleasure and enjoyment which comes front the exchange of memories of our "frolic youth," refreshed by the atmosphere and environment of the campus. Such an opportunity is ours in June.
We gather in small groups periodically m various localities or occasionally see at a football game or in other crowds some vaguely familiar face or figure reminiscent of our campus day, but seldom are so many of the Class met in one place or at one time as there will be in Hanover next June 14-16th. This is not an appeal to your sentiments (even if you have any left), but rather a thought, which as the reunion dates approach, we hope, will disturb your customary orderly mental processes until even the doubtful ones will succumb to the urge and head for Hanover.

Secretary, 1925-1930.
