1897

At the Alumni Dinner in Boston early in February, the members of our class present were: Morse, Temple, Chase, McFee, Sanborn and Rowe. Rowe writes me that the evening was very much worth while, that the speaking was on a high plane, and that Bill Cunningham, McDavit and the quartet from Hanover added a bit o£ spice.

Rowe has been active in the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Norwood Chamber of Commerce, of which he is treasurer.

Frank Noyes, who believes that Mr. Dooley has been superseded by Mr. Roosevelt as the greatest man the country ever knew, writes that he has begun his "Fourth Term" as president (of the Twentieth Century Association) in the hope that F.D.R. will do likewise in due time. Frank has had to undergo an operation for glaucoma of the left eye. It was for a time uncertain whether the eye would ever again give reading vision, but apparently it is coming along very well, and he is once more at his office as usual.

The Twentieth Century Association is dedicated to a better social order, so Frank, as its president, in spite of his eye operation, is right at the international rat-hole with a plan for organizing the world for peace. Some two thousand copies of this plan have gone to important people such as Churchill, Eden, Roosevelt, senators, representatives, peace organizations, etc.

Secretary and Treasurer, 53 State St., Boston, Mass.
