From a neice of Wilbur I. Dade is obtained the following: Dade received a local preacher's license from the Rockport (Mass.)

Later he was for a while a successful book agent for religious works. On his tombstone in an old graveyard in Rockport appears REVEREND WILBUR I. DADE. He died on October 9, 1901.

From the Harvard Alumni Bulletin of January 24 is taken the following item:

The Club reports, however, 'lt is the view of the majority of the members that it is immaterial who the speaker is, for most of the members come to hear Robert Lincoln O'Brien '91, president of the club, who is so gifted as raconteur and famous for his spontaneous wit that the most important anti-third term tradition shattered last year was that discarded by the Harvard Club of Washington in electing Mr. O'Brien .... as its president inperpetuum.'"
