1887

"Sonny" Gage, Mrs. Harry Lord, and the secretary represented the class of '87 at the dinner of the West Coast Dartmouth Alumni Association at St. Petersburg, January 26. Conn and his son Dwight had just arrived in town from Philadelphia, but were very weary. White was also in town, but we do not know why he did not come. Professor Foley of the History Department spoke most instructively of matters at Hanover; and all were especially pleased to know of the fund of $500,00.0 held in reserve for emergencies.

With the death of one of our most cherished classmates, Charles Wilmot Bickford, this has been a very sad period for us. There was no member of our group, whose cheery ways and ready wit so brightened all our gatherings.—Doctor Sanborn, in a letter to "Sonny" Gage, tells the story of a marvellous birthday party that was wished upon him. It was his eightieth milestone. There were one hundred fifty of his family, friends, and employees at the tables. There were also loads of gifts including a year's membership in the Oakley Golf course, an inscribed plaque, a dozen golf balls, and an immense birthday cake. He will take a vacation at Ormond Beach soon. We are allowed to reveal the contents of Dr. Sydney Junkins' will, in a letter from Halsey C. Edgerton, the treasurer of Dartmouth College, named with Mrs. Junkins as executors. The estate has been devised in trust, "for the benefit of Mrs. Junkins, with other provisions for children and grandchildren. A large part of the remainder of the principal of the trust fund is left to Dartmouth College, 'the income to be used toward the support of some branch of instruction, preferably of an engineering or scientific character.'

"In case the amount received by the College is insufficient for the full support of such chair as the trustees of the College may select, the interest shall be allowed to accumulate and be added to the principal until the amount is sufficient for the purpose. The chair shall be known for the donor."

In a letter to the secretary, Mrs. Junkins expresses the happiness she has enjoyed from a host of letters from the many friends, and others who had enjoyed the benevolences, of Dr. Junkins, during his very active and successful career.
