1876*

[ED. NOTE: It is with deep regret that wehave learned of the sudden death of Dr. Piper.Always a staunch friend of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, he will be very greatly missed. His classnotes, below, had gone to the printers prior tohis passing, and hence we include them inthis issue.]

G. R. Clark and Mrs. Clark have interesting relations in the '76 group. While three members of the group live in California, and six others in or near New England, with the exception of Edwards in Peru, Indiana, who has made no reporting for several years, the Clarks, at Davenport, lowa, have the -vfhole interior of the country to themselves. Although located nearly a thousand miles from New England they have had, during the past ten years, more direct contact with Hanover and the College than any other members of the group. This comes about through the annual trips they have made to New England, till two years ago, and the establishing of headquarters at Windsor, Vermont.

Clark is the youngest member of the eleven survivors. Whether or not Clark and wife have been living under the same roof longer than any others of the group is not yet definitely established. Clark's name first had a place in the Annual Class Report in 1909; but he had established a home in Davenport many years before that. In a recent letter he mentioned that it was more than fifty-two years since he had lived where there was ground enough for the cultivation of flowers.
