1885

It seems that the direful effects of our national food rationing system are keenly felt even in Florida, for Henry Austin writes that he keeps busy trying to figure out how he can get enough to eat and live within the limits of his ration points; he attributes his only hope of doing so to the scientific and mathematical training he received under his old Dartmouth Professors, John Vose Hazen and Frankie Sherman.

Lorrain Weeks writes that he was disappointed in not being able to arrange to have a "victory garden" this summer near his Jamaica, Long Island, home. He referred feelingly to the death of our late classmate, Sam Hudson, and made mention of the "celebrated bloodless duel" (?) which occurred between Sam and Dick Hovey during our college course, an echo of which he recalls was the occasion of Dick's appearing one day in class girdedwith an ancient sword. Weeks also referred to Sam Hudson's "Chronicles" of our class day exercises which competent judges regarded as the most appropriate and humorous they had ever heard.

It will be interesting to Sam's classmates and other friends to know that his loyalty and support of our College and our class will live on through the terms of his will, which provides that upon the termination of the trust established thereunder, onehalf of the residue will go to the Trustees of Dartmouth College to be added to the "Class of '85 Fund," which our class long ago presented to the College.
