1878

The class Round-robin has been duplicated and distributed. It did not turn out quite the towering Class Monument or the blazing Beacon-light for later classes that Class Notes envisioned; yet it does disclose fairly well each man's outlook after 65 years of post-graduate life, and it reveals a wholesome bunch of men who, as Hayt says, have given value received. Bouton sounds the keynote and touches a responsive chord which others echo, while Hayt intones what he styles an obituary—and a fine one—plus a little prophecy.

Parkinson attended the Boston Luncheon Meeting of Class Officers and Class Agents Dinner where his nearest contemporaries were Perry 'BO and Kelley '82. His earphone broke down mid-way, and he missed much of the proceedings. Owing to belated transportation his day extended well into the next morning, and although it was completed in entire comfort, later low tension convinces him that the excursion took out of him more than it put in. The long day without its usual nap, the strain of listening under difficulties, perhaps indulgence in two feasts more tempting than his daily diet, made a spree hardly becoming in one skirting the margin of life. So, never again. A feature that did get by the barrier of defective ears, and won loud applause, was the nomination by one of the Dinner speakers of Dr. Hopkins for U. S. Senator.

If you haven't read Angel Mo and HerSon Roland Hayes, do. I Saw the Fall of thePhilippines, too, although too harrowing for enjoyment, yet, like the other, depicts personalities that are wholly admirable. Both books point to The Brotherhood of Man, which is the leading issue of our day.
