1894

Tradition fixes Friday evening for the Matt Jones Fall Roundup, on account of there being a football game on Saturday which many of the men want to attend. There was no football game this year but the Roundup was held on Friday evening (November a) just the same.

Ten men were present, as follows: Ames, R. W. Bartlett, Howland, Lewis, Lyon, Marden, C. C. Merrill, Parker, B. A. Smalley, and E. M. Stone. The attendance was small because several of the regulars were unable to come this particular evening. Responses were also had from seventeen men, most of whom were precluded from attendance by distance. Reference to these letters will be made in subsequent issues of the Magazine. We were again fortunate in having a call from Mrs. Jones, who was accompanied by Mrs. C. C. Merrill. As usual, the President of the class had seen to it that Mrs. Jones was provided with flowers on this memorable evening. On account of the limited number present we were perhaps able to get closer together and have more of a general conversation, and everyone seemed to feel that the gathering had been particularly worthwhile. It was held at the Parker House.

Most regrettably, President Allen was unable to be present. He had made the arrangements and has been present at all the Roundups from the very beginning. However, on the Saturday preceding he had a heart attack which sent him to the Newton Hospital. Reports from the hospital aie favorable and he soon expects to be out and back at work, though perhaps not at his old pace. The following letter was sent to him signed by everyone present: To our beloved Class President: A group of us are together at the Matt Jones dinner and we miss you.

This occasion, which has now become sacred to us, has ever found you working, helpful and reliable, all in your quiet and modest way.

You have always been present when we have gotten together, and you have brought good cheer and fine fellowship.

You have carried our class torch for forty-one years, and we have been honored by your leadership. You have done the thoughtful, nice things of which we have received the benefit.

We regret the reason, but welcome the opportunity of telling you that we appreciate what you have done for us and of the feelings which we have for you.

We want to let you know that we are thinking of you, and hoping for your speedy recovery.

New addresses have been received, as follows: Spooner, in winter quarters at 10 Swoope Ave., Winter Park, Fla.; J. L. Mann, 5868 Broadway, Indianapolis, Ind.; Major Tenney, Faculty Club, University of California, Berkeley, Calif.

The secretary has at hand an article by- Frederick A. Bushee on "A New Economic Order." It is a reprint from Social Science. It will be reviewed in an early issue.
