1899*

The Forty-first Boston Round-Up was held at the University Club, Boston, on the first Saturday of March according to our unbroken custom since March 1901, twenty-seven being present, Walter Eastman coming the greatest distance. As happens each year we always add to our regular group, this time Ed Hyatt made his first appearance to his great satisfaction.

The Gab-fest got under way shortly after three and was one of the most enjoyable parts of the Round-Up, giving each a chance for the personal talk not possible at the dinner itself. Dinner was served at 6:15 and was of the same quality we have enjoyed so many times at the University Club. Messages from many unable to come were read; the secretary announced that a class report was about ready, then he called upon Sleeper to preside for the rest of the meeting, which he did most fittingly, calling on all present for a report or remarks.

Hobe and Nelson were obliged to leave early.

From the various speakers we had reports of their own personal matters and of others they had heard about recently. K. Beal read a testimonial to Cav. taken from the Boston Alumnus which was exceptionally good and was added to our records.

Skinner remarked that the Round-Up was a birthday celebration for him and he also reported that Spade Heywood had recently retired. Peddy gave us a most interesting talk on the Balkan situation with the prediction that all would be well in about fifty years which Wiggin felt was too long and that "fight" was what was really needed. Joe Gannon agreed that as a group we looked pretty good, while Joe Hobbs felt that forty-five years had welded us together. Silver had a special report to make for Hawley Chase whom he had met recently at Atlantic City, Hawley insisting that he has a "hobb leg" and a "split personality," but Silver said as far as he could see Hawley was just the same as usual. The Ninety-Nine Round-Up Song written in 1922 was very creditably performed as was the Grahams Ode and the Dartmouth Song as we knew it. Peddy and Dave Parker both made allusions to their proposed autobiographies, but Dave so far has only one item for each Chapter to the effect that on the first Sat. of each year he attended a '99 Round-Up. Tim told us of his plans to conduct another of his Tours next June, this time to go to Bridgeton where Freem Sewall promises all sorts of entertainment. Warren was called upon for a few words about Pearl and he told us that he had learned that John Ash was again back at work. He also reported on a small dinner party at Washington which he attended with Fred Crolius, Fred's son Lawrence, Lute Oakes, Frank Staley and Bill Hewes '9B. The candle was extinguished at about eleven and another Round-Up had become only a memory. Those present: Allen, Barney, Beal, Brown, Clark, Dearborn, Eastman, Gannon, Hoban, Hobbs, Hyatt, Irving, Kendall, Lynch, Miller, Parker, Rogers, Seers, Silver, Sewall, Skinner, Sleeper, Storrs, Wiggin, and Winchester.

Dave and Helen Parker have announced the engagement of their daughter, Mary, to Dr. Robert R. Rix, Dartmouth 1930, son of Mrs. Rudolph of Omaha, Nebraska, and the late Dr. Rudolph Rix.
