1890

Another one of our old reliables has passed away. Fred Woods died September 23, and the services were held at the Wellesley College Chapel. John Canty and the secretary represented the class. Fred belonged to several organizations and the attendance was large. He was an engineer for the Board of Public Works in Arlington for a while, but later, for many years, supervised the extensive grounds of Wellesley College. He was very loyal to Dartmouth and to the class.

We saw in the Falmouth Enterprise two very interesting articles by Victor Safford on the origin of the "Bravas" and the early slave trade between the Cape Verde Islands and the Azores and Cape Cod. Vic sent me an interesting personal account of his recent activities, from which we hope to quote at an early date George Moses, who according to many, took the place of the elder Senator Lodge as the leading scholar of Congress, spent a month in the White Mountains, this summer, recuperating from a three months' illness, and succeeded pretty well in getting back his usual good health. His grandson and namesake is in the Navy and is now. taking his training at Camp Sampson
