1896

Your secretary is preparing a Class of 1896 Report which is usually issued at a time half way between our class reunions at Hanover. It is up to you when this report comes out since those who have not sent in their class letters are simply delaying the date of issue.

Tom Ham writes that he has had three attacks of the "flue" in recent months. His first attack caught him in Marblehead and he was in the Salem Hospital for three or four days. He has recovered nicely and is back on the job. Two of his sons are doing research for the government in Washington and his son-inlaw is in educational work.

The Dartmouth Alumni Association of Maine gave a dinner on Washington's birthd ay honoring two judges of Maine's higher courts who are graduates of the College. There was a capacity attendance—some members coming from a distance of 100 miles. President Hopkins and Sid Hayward came from Hanover for the occasion and Edward S. French of the B. & M. joined them at the head table. Hoppy gave a most interesting and informative talk on the problems that the College has to solve in reconverting to a Peace-time basis.

Sid Hayward spoke briefly of a plan to place Dartmouth men on their return from war service.
