1893

The Report is taking much more time than was anticipated, and, owing to conditions, it is pretty hard to determine how soon it will reach the members of the class. Fred Morrill has taken hold of it and we hope that it will be ready shortly.

Changes of address: Billy Jarvis, care of Sullivan Machinery Company, 30 Church Street, New York City; A. O. Caswell is now at 7 Turner Street, Portland, Maine; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morrill are at the Morrill ancestral home on Portsmouth Road in Amesbury, Massachusetts for the summer.

Dr. Perley O. Place, Dartmouth '93, presented Guy W. Cox, President of the John Hancock Life Insurance Company and of the Class of Dartmouth '93, for the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, to Syracuse University on the occasion of its Annual Commencement on May 9th. In part the citation read:

"I present for the degree of doctor of the more humane letters Guy Wilbur Cox, a distinguished graduate of Dartmouth College and of the law school of Boston University. From his notable career as a lawyer he was selected as the president of a large organization which has a definite and profound relation to our national life. His inter- est in classical fields of study he has sustained; he has a deep knowledge of the Latin language and a wide familiarity with Latin literature. Under his study lamp he finds the pleasure of a scholar; he reads creatively with simplicity and sincerity; and these qualities remain with him in all his associations with other persons in the world of affairs."

On May 24th Boston University conferred on Guy Wilbur Cox the Degree of Doctor of Laws. This was a notable occasion, since Wendell Willkie was honored with the same degree at the same time, together with others, including Gov. McGrath of Rhode Island and Dr. Frank Lahey of Boston. We can now call our President "Doctor Cox" with especial emphasis.

"Ed" Griffith writes that he had a letter from John Keller enclosing a sketch made of him at a ceremony celebrating John's retirement as U. S. Hydrographic Surveyer, after thirty-five years of service. A letter of commendation from the Secretary of the Navy was read and he was presented with a pipe and a tobacco bag full of money.

Speaking of "Ed" Griffith, he is fine, as was apparent at the annual get-together in Hanover of Dr. Martyn, Dr. "Lill" Eaton, Judge Griffith and your Secretary. The "King" was in fine fettle personally, but sorrowful that Mrs. Martyn is not in very good health. The Class of '93 was honored at a luncheon given by Capt. Ford Sayre and Mrs. Sayre at the Hanover Inn to these lour '93 men. Although Hanover was extremely quiet, relatively speaking during that week we most surely enjoyed ourselves.

Interesting notes and verses have been received from Sparhawk o£ Cincinnati, who seems to keep in a cheerful mood.

It is always a pleasure to see "Bob" Boutelle's wonderful handwriting and to read his interesting letters. He writes that Mrs. Boutelle is still under the constant care of a physician.

Interesting letters have been received from Dr. "Roller" Mason at St. Peters- burgh, Florida; Dr. E. S. Miller in Woodsville, New Hampshire; and a note from McKay of Rochester, New York—all indicating their lively interest in national and international affairs.

Secretary, 795 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, Mass.
