1900

The month of April did not have good consequences for the Class of 1900, in that two more were taken by death from our already depleted ranks. It is hard to imagine the class without Joe Wentworth, who, from our first gathering in Hanover in September, 1896, was one of our most stirring and active members. An athlete of repute, as an undergraduate he shared to the full the rather happy-go-lucky qualities of the students of the day. As time went on he was to develop into the careful, sober, somewhat reserved, efficient and successful lawyer. At all times, however, his relations with his classmates were the same—his qualities of good companionship never slackened. Edson Barker, a less aggressive type, spent his life in the public service of the town of his early years—well read, thoughtful, of mature and settled convictions. We shall sadly miss them both.

Clarence McDavitt during April and May has been fulfilling his duties as employer delegate to the International Labor Organization at its meeting at Philadelphia.

The executive committee has determined to resume this year our June meetings at North Sutton, despite difficulties of travel and other obstacles in the way. You will have been informed by Walter of the proposed gathering before this MAGAZINE reaches you, but it is hoped that the rather uncertain schedule of the publication will permit this further notice. It seems especially fitting in these trying days that opportunity be afforded for the renewal of old ties and a recapture of the old spirit of intimacy. If you have attended these meetings in the past you know how pleasurable they are; if you have not, come this time for a new experience. So save the weekend of June 17 for this engagement.
