1907

In a recent edition of a leading textile trade magazine the following interesting and complimentary remarks were made about our friend and classmate, Bill Cummings. Speaking of "Mills in Strong Hands" Bill is described as "a hard-fisted (I) Yankee brought up in the woolen mill business in the first place, but through many more years actively and successfully employed in the wool stock business. One of the largest shoddy makers in the country, he is an old-fashioned Yankee breathing back the breath of life into mills that were over the dam."

The class of 1907 in Boston has taken a new lease on life. Following an unusually good representation of 'O7 men at the annual Alumni Dinner, fourteen classmates attended, a class luncheon on March 28 at the Downtown Club in the Parker House in Boston. Cully Pierce was the prime mover and Bishop Niles the host. These enthusiastic and energetic "young" men intend that a monthly luncheon meeting on the last Wednesday of each month will be a fixture which 'O7 Alumni in Boston and throughout New England cannot afford to miss. It is a good bet that the organizers will succeed in their objective, and it is rumored that Bill Smart proposes to organize frequent 'O7 golf foursomes for the summer months. The following men who attended the inaugural luncheon were unanimously in favor of continuing them; Niles Woodworth, Grimes, Fassett, Smart, Macdonald, Tarbell, Stevens, Plummer, Crocker, Cushman, Pierce, Kitching, Lane.
