1899*

Jim Barney who was prevented from attending the Boston Round-up by illness had a serious operation at the Faulkner Hospital March 10th and is now convalescing nicely. Tim Lynch visited him at the hospital.

"Cush" has moved his office from the famous Auditorium Bldg. to Room 1402 Mailers Bldg., 5 So. Wabash Ave., just around the corner from his club.

Bonney is another '99 doctor who has moved. His "shingle" now hangs at the Medical Tower, 255 South 17th St., Philadelphia.

Walter Eastman has been drafted by Warren and is now aiding troop movements as an assistant in Warren's department of the American Railroad Assoc. at Washington. He is not keen on hotel life and hopes soon to be living in the quietness of Chevy Chase.

Frank Staley's new duties as Supt. of the Dead Letter Office are taking him about the country more. He was recently in Boston where he enjoyed luncheon with "N. P." and Donny.

K. Asakawa retires from his teaching in the Graduate School at Yale this spring. He has given his four thousand books on feudalism and other institutions in Europe and the far East to the Sterling Library of Yale.

At the Round-up we learned that four of Cav's sons, also the sons of Musgrove and Walter Eastman are in the U. S. Army. Another '99 son, George M. Rounds Jr. who enlisted in the Naval Reserve, received his commission as Ensign last Sept. at Great Lakes Training School and the next day resigned with 43 others of a class of 700 to re-enlist as seaman second class to enter Naval Reserve flight training, expects to receive his Air Corps commission next August.

Recent weddings reported are: Dr. Arthur Ditmars Sewall, U.S.A. Medical Corps, to Adelaide Julia Maguire, March 14th at Sewell, N. J.; Mary Adelaide Hawkes to Ensign John Milton Arnett, March 14th, at San Francisco. Cal.: Morton Wheeler to Lydia Rogers. Jan. 23rd at Winchester, Mass.; Lawrence Crolius to Jeanette Parker, March 11th in New York City, Fred Crolius acting as best man: Ralph W. Hawkes Jr. to Jane Varrell, March 31st at York Village, Maine.

The Secretary would like to hear from each '99er what he and his wife are doing in the way of civilian defense or war work and about those sons and daughters who are in the service or training for it. A report something like the one published in 1918 is planned if enough replies come in.

Secretary, York Village, Maine Class Agent, 659 Allen Street, Syracuse, N. Y.
