1900

News of the death of Horace Sears will be received both by '99 and by '00 with keen regret. Enrolled in both classes, he participated, without discrimination, in the gatherings of each with equal good fellowship. With his brother, Dana, he made up one of the three pairs of brothers who received their degrees from Dartmouth at the Commencement of 43 years ago.

A recent issue of the New York Times contains an account, headed War SeenMaking New Teacher Tasks, of the address of Arthur Roberts at the conference of some 1000 teachers of the Secondary Education Board, held at the Hotel New Yorker in that city. The address stressed the limitless tasks which education of the future will be called upon to perform, and called for unity and common effort among educators in facing the problems of the future. At the business meeting Arthur was re-elected chairman of the Board.

A hodge-podge of items: Mrs. Rogers is now serving as secretary to the Rev. Frederick W. Alden of the First Congregational Church of Natick, Mass., with the address 42 Florence Street. Arthur and Mrs. Virgin have been spending the winter at 230 East, 48th Street, New York—a great change and a great relief, so he says, from the Canadian climate in winter. Baron Mahoney's daughter, Mary, had a severe attack of pneumonia in November, requiring a convalescent period in Florida.

John Warden seems to be on a yearround schedule, with a garden to look after in St. Petersburg in the winter and one in Hanover in the summer. His son is with the Army ground forces at West Palm Beach. Henry Teague reports that his eyesight is becoming not so good. He is spending the winter at the De Soto Hotel, Miami Beach. George Tong has had a full house this winter, entertaining his daughter and her three small children at his home in Brooklyn. His son-in-law is an ensign in the Navy. Nat Barrows has the shingles, which is no fun. The news from Lem Hodgkins is good, indicating a recovery which is steady, although slow.
