1900*

Emma Smith, wife of Dr. Harry I. Marshall, died in Newton, Mass., in January. With her husband, Mrs. Marshall returned from Burma last year, afflicted with the tropical disease, sprue, which developed into a rare form of anemia, in the face of which physicians were helpless. She was the daughter of the President of the Karen Theological Seminary at Insein (a position also held later for 16 years by her hus- band) and the granddaughter of the Reverend Samuel C. Smith, author of America. She was married at Insein in 1903 and passed her life in missionary work in Burma. She is survived by her husband and five children. Memorial services, held in Newton, were attended by Walter Rankin, Arthur and Mrs. Wallace, and Harry Jenkins of the class. Harry has the deep sympathy of all his classmates in his bereavement.

Roy Sawyer returned to this country from Santa Marta early in December and is now serving in the purchasing department of the United Fruit Company, Western Union Building, Tampa, Fla, Mrs. Sawyer expects to remain in Colombia until May.

Other changes of address, coming through the Alumni Records Office, are as follows: Edmund J. Johakowski, 839 Main St., Sarasota, Fla.; Julian W. Phillips, 111 Valley Road, Montclair, N. J.; Robert Jackson (business), 1317 F St., N.W., Washington, D. C.; (home) Hotel St. Moritz, New York.

A letter from Walter R. Snow, son of "Shadder," tells that his father, now in the Connecticut State Soldiers Home at Rocky Hill, follows with keen interest the radio accounts of war developments, although his eyes are too weak for newspaper reading. His memory of events in his early life is good and he much enjoys conversation during the visiting periods of the Home. He can read brief typewritten letters, if doublespaced. The son, long dramatic editor of the Bronx Home News, has received a commission in the Army, and will soon enter the service.

In an account of the installation of the Rev. Grant F. Haskell as pastor of the Milford (N. H.) Unitarian Church, it is stated in the ManchesterUnion that the "service of ordination and installation was conducted by Judge Benjamin F. Prescott, Chairman of the Parish Committee." This pre- sents Ben to his classmates in a new and rather puzzling phase, but there is no doubt in their minds that he was entirely equal to the occasion.

The sporting column "Rod and Gun," edited by Cecil Heacox, in a review of deaths in 1942 among those devoted to the out-of-door world, pays a high tribute to Paul G. Redington, whose seven years at the head of the Biological Survey, in part devoted to the preservation of migratory wild fowl, has borne ample fruit in the last two years through a huge increase of pintails, canvasbacks, redheads, and other birds of that character.
