1900*

The class has received with keen regret news of the death of Fred Jenkins, noted in the May issue, and who is the subject of an obituary notice in another column. His splendid work in library management came to an abrupt end in 1927 and since that time he has been much of an invalid, unable to take any part in our activities. He retained, however, a keen interest in class and college. One of his last letters, written on April i, enclosed his usual generous contribution to the Alumni Fund.

Belated news has reached the Secretary of the death of Mrs. Florence Lewis, widow of F. C., in December, 1938 and of the death of the widow of Julius Dutton, as a result of an automobile accident, at a somewhat earlier date.

When a great institution runs smoothly and efficiently, without fuss or turmoil, we are likely to take it altogether too much for granted. To the point is a communication from so distant a point as Alabama, which came recently to the Secretary's attention, in which Dr. Dolloff's New Hampshire State Hospital is pronounced to be "the best in America."

John Warden writes of an automobile accident in Florida in which Mrs. Warden got the worst of it—a broken arm, broken ribs and numerous cuts and bruises. John himself was not unscathed, but his injuries, although painful, were not serious. None the less, they planned upon departing from St. Petersburg under their own power in the middle of May.

Ned Yeaton writes that he has just bought a new house in Seattle. In his mapmaking wanderings Alvah Fowler writes from a point so surprisingly near Hanover as Barre, Vt. Eaton's son is manager of the Cavalier at Virginia Beach and his mother is with him. Ben Prescott has returned from his Mexican trip and is now engaged, according to Don Tuttle, in "making quite a lot of repairs" to his house at Milford.

Harry Marshall's son writes that the latest news from his father is that he plans to retire from the active work of a field missionary in Burma to devote the next two years to literary activity. His next furlough should come in 1942.

At the time this MAGAZINE arrives you are removing five years' accumulation of dust from the old carpetbag and are throwing into it a paper collar or two, preparatory to departure for the fortieth reunion. By circulars from Walter you have been fully informed of the nature of the proceedings and nothing remains but for you to come and enjoy yourself.

Secretary Hanover, N. H.

Class Agent, 212 Mill St., Newtonville, Mass.
