1893*

Ninety-three President Cox's versatility is well known, but recently we noticed that he is becoming noted as a fruit grower, his Chichester Farm having won sweepstakes at the Pittsfield, New Hampshire, Fair.

Scholar, musician, prominent lawyer, insurance authority and nationally known executive is quite a record for one man, and we of '93 are justly proud that one of us could have such a record. This line of thought arose from notice coming to me, at the same time as the Pittsfield Fair, of an address which Guy gave to a very important meeting of insurance executives in Chicago.

Word comes of the retirement of Arnold as superintendent of schools at Passaic, New Jersey, on October Ist.

A letter from "Quin" Eaton tells of good health, and of his great admiration for Skid, mentioning a letter which he had recently received from Skid. "Quin" writes in part, "His patient resignation to his painfully restricted existence is inspiring." We'll say it is.

Through the courtesy of Dr. William W. Lougee '88, brother of our own "Doc" Lougee, we learn of the marriage of Margaret Eleanor Rowell, the older daughter of our late classmate, to Paul R. Nichols of Deerfield, New Hampshire, who graduated "Cum laude" Class of 1940 from the University of New Hampshire, and is now teaching at the University.

"John" Childs advises of his great loss in the death of his wife a year ago. He now lives with his daughter Marjorie in Norwalk, Connecticut, where she is a teacher in the Norwalk High School. "John" continues active with his old firm in Wallingford, Conn., driving back and forth from Wallingford five days a week. His health is excellent and at time of writing was planning an extensive automobile trip through Canada, ending at his old home in Thetford, Vermont.

"Dayton" Miller writes from Ohio that he is "Kept busy with a stormy Legislature and an obstreperous Board of Education." He also says, "My health is good and I am fit to join the Navy." (more power to him). "Dayton" expected to spend the summer with his daughter in Metuchen, New Jersey.

Mrs. Abbott writes that Winthrop had had a little setback but at time of writing was better.

I quote from a letter from Dr. "King" Martin. "I heard from J. VanHorn and he said he would write you and Skid; (so far I have not heard from him) his mother is 97 the 20th of September."

A letter under date of June 2d from Mrs. Leach, Orange, Mass., advises that the Doctor was seriously ill, having been taken sick in May, 1939. She writes that since August, 1940 he has been abed, the result of an embolism. "He often speaks of the 50th Reunion and hopes he may be able to go. He still enjoys the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. I am sure someone of the children will attend the 50th Reunion."

A letter from "Deacon" Kinney was received. He again invites any '93 man driving over Route 1 to eastern Maine, to stop and see him at his home at Ellsworth Falls, near Ellsworth, Maine.

Secretary and Treasurer, 795 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Mass.
