1900

'Chelsea Atwood has once again illustrated the fact that the most dangerous place in which to be is the home bath room. As a result he presents a strangely stiff and upright bearing, the outcome of treatment for one or more broken ribs.

Pete Fletcher passed the summer at his cottage at Stimson Lake, near Rumney, N. H. He writes that he finds the term "retirement," as applied to his present activities, something of a misnomer.

Clarence McDavitt is busy on Labor Board matters, happy to welcome home his son, now discharged from the Navy after active, dangerous and most creditable services on the carrier Hancock.

The Secretary saw a good deal of Ben Prescott this summer. Ben spent a vacation of two weeks at the Hanover Inn and Mrs. Prescott was there all summer, taking advantage of the facilities of the Hitchcock Clinic.

Charles Proctor has retired from active teaching after a service of 45 years, of which 38 were passed at Dartmouth, the greater part of the time in the Department of Physics. His activities, however, will still be manifold: golf —perhaps now verging on the mature (but not senile) variety; photography (as those who attended the reunion at North Sutton can testify); skiing—let us hope now as an experienced advisor rather than as an active participant; the study of birds, particularly duck hawks, all such birds in this section being under his personal supervision.

At the moment of writing these notes, the secretary was informed of the very sudden death of Julian Phillips. That news comes as a shock to us all. "Dago," as for some unexplained reason we always called him, was very much one of us, liked and admired by all. Previous to his departure from New England he was constant in attendance at class affairs. In later years it was not so easily possible for him to do this, but he always retained a live interest in his class associations of undergraduate days.
