1890

Bacon and the secretary represented the class at the Alumni Dinner in Boston February 28. Bacon is busy with his law work and plans to return to Columbia when the war ends We received a very appreciative letter from Mrs. George Moses for the flowers, etc. "I realize," she writes, "the loyalty you '90 men have to your class and to each other."

Gerould's grandchildren are all well. The youngest is the son of Elizabeth and Instructor Chadwick of Dartmouth. Three grandsons are in the South, children of Virginia, and Fred Chase '30. The oldest grandson Kenneth, and also Nancy, are children of Mary and Professor Anderson '28. Virginia Gerould Chase is in business in New York City. Gerould must be as busy writing letters as a class secretary.

Dora McDuffee writes:

It is good of you to include me among the classmates of '90. I was indeed sorry to learn of the recent deaths of members of your class. How fast our friends slip away as the years roll by. I can report that the old gal is still hale and hearty. Since I live alone, with one ration book, my chief occupation is figuring out how many times a week I can eat. It used to be—shall I buy butter or meat ? It is a great relief to have butter soar beyond my monthly .allowance, for it simplifies my mathematical problem. My surplus hours are devoted to heading committees for the war effort. This together with the entire care of my house and garden leaves very little time for Satan, who goes whooping around in search for idle hands. I'm so sorry to have missed your call. It's good to know that all goes well with your family. Remember me please to Mrs. Hardy. With kindest regards to yourself

Forrester Macdonald has not been as well as usual this xvinter but anticipates better health when spring comes Clif Humphreys writes from Madison, Me., "It was good to receive your letter. Sorry we cannot get together in June; hope by another year conditions will be different. Wish we might be able to have somebody representing the family of each one of our deceased classmates attend our next Reunion, and have memorial contributions from them all. Here's hoping you are well and prospering. Should you ever be in this neck of the woods don't tail to come and see us. We are now great-grandparents and have another rooter for Dartmouth."
