1893

It is with great sorrow that we find it necessary to record the passing of John Munn Rowell on the morning of March 21st. Knowing somewhat of the activities of John and of the very great esteem in which he was held by the state, city and school officials, and the intense affection with which he was regarded by his associates, teachers, and the very many students who had come in contact with him during his many years of teaching, I know that his passing will be a great loss to all. His sincerity and integrity impressed us during college days, and we all realized that wherever he might be placed during his life he would leave a void hard to fill when he should leave us. -Space does not permit more in this column, but a sketch of his life appears under Necrology.

"Ed" Griffith has found it necessary to give up his work as '93 Class Agent of the Alumni Fund. President Guy Cox has asked your acting secretary to help in carrying on the good work which "Ed" has been doing and as this is President Hopkins' Twenty-fifth Anniversary Year as president of the College, and as the Alumni Fund is to be dedicated to him, it would seem as though we of '93 should make a special effort to support this fund thereby indicating our appreciation of the good work which "Hoppy" has done and will continue to do for the college.

"Ted" Weston of Derry, N. H. has recently retired as Special Justice of the Municipal Court and many daily papers noted the fact, particularly the Manchester, N. H. Leader of March 19, 1941, which carried a half-column story of his life's activities; also the Boston Globe of March 16th, added to their notice a photograph of the Judge.

A fine letter from Kenny advising that Mrs. Kenny and the "Deacon" have been well, comfortable, and busy during the past winter. He mentions the fact that his sister taught under John Rowell for many years in Maiden.

Visited with "Skid" early in March and found him cheerful and busy with his work as columnist for the Concord Monitor, and as correspondent for many New Hampshire and Boston papers. A recent letter from him expresses his pleasure at hearing from Selden, who wrote him from the hospital in New York, where Selden has been under observation for a heart trouble which had bothered him for two years; he expected to be discharged from the hospital by the end of March.

Mrs. Pearson slipped on the ice in March and sprained some ligaments so severely that she will probably be confined for a month or more.

A letter from Abbott indicates that while confined to the house most of the time, he is in good spirits.

A pleasant call on Ebbs at the Viking Hotel, Newport, R. 1., where he lives winters with his son reveals that he is very active in his bank work. He would welcome calls by '93 men who happen to be in Newport.

Just as this is going to press word comes of the death, at Laconia, of Colonel Charles A. French. Further information will be found in the June issue of the MAGAZINE.
