1889
In the March MAGAZINE there was mention of Earle's serious illness. A letter, written in March, reported marked improvement and that he was planning to return to Vermont in May Tom Flynn has spent the winter in Boston with his daughter, Mrs, Felton. They called on the Secretary March 14. It was his plan to return to Gaylordsville early in April—to be ready for Spring planting!.... Harry Frost represented '89 at the annual meeting of the Florida Alumni Association at St. Petersburg, February a 8 In late December Frank Hazen wrote from 1530 E. Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach, California, that he and his wife had gone there to stay "until such time as we can feel sure of escaping Montana's snow and ice." On March 12, he wrote to the Alumni Records Office in Hanover, giving the above as his new address. Since their only son and his family now live in near-by Las Vegas, Nevada, and since Fush and his wife no longer really enjoy the cold winters in Montana, is it not a logical thing for them to make sunny California their permanent home?.... Miner has sold his house in Brooklyn and is living in Ridgewood, New Jersey, near two of his sons whom he is able to see every day.
Sully and his wife were in Washington March 19, to see and hear the Great White Father open the Mellon Art Gallery. The only reference to the donor was in these words: "The magnificence of the gift was matched by the modesty of the donor." Later Sully sent a page from the New YorkTimes Magazine, March 30, containing a brief article on "Dartmouth Farm Aid" which begins: "Farmers near Dartmouth College won't put it into many words, but they'll nod and say 'Yep' when you ask them if College students can really swing an axe or dig potatoes or repair a barn." Two well chosen pictures accompanied the text which gives a graphic account of the practical aid which the boys are giving. One couple, seventy years old, the man having arthritis and the wife heart trouble, were in dire need of wood which was available on their farm. A group of students missed three football games and in seven or eight afternoons cut, sawed, split and stacked in the shed 12 cords of wood. Another group made several trips to repair a barn, gates and fences for a woman whose husband had recently died. Others helped were: (1) A refugee from Germany on a New Hampshire farm. (2) A farmer confined to a hospital, whose large crop of corn needed harvesting. (3) The people of Beaver Meadow who needed a new floor in their church. "Last Fall it was football games that the students missed. This Spring there will be baseball games. These students know that there is work to be done."
