1895

Weld Allen Rollins, for many years secretary and treasurer of the Class of '97, has retiree! from these duties, and the class of course will feel the loss very keenly. "Pa," as he has always been known from college days, is one of the men of the class whom everybody loves.

In college he managed a very successful football team. He was a member of the

"Rood House Gang." He ran the 100-yard dash moderately well. He was a good scholar. He remembers more Latin than any classmate and uses it, sometimes in fun and sometimes to express a point that no other language could express. He is a mountain climber. His costume is exceptional and colorful on these trips. He is a hunter and tramped the Rocky Mountains for game, and was successful in bring home the pelt of a Rocky Mountain goat.

"Pa" used to lean towards the horsy side and had an Arabian gelding of many colors. He claimed that the Arabian horse had more intelligence than most people, and I think that is probably fairly accurate.

Always a man of eternal youth, he is a student of history, a philosopher on economics and on the life span of man. He is a lawyer of long standing with clients of high class. He had a long stay in the south putting together the financial jig-saw puzzle of one of the southern railroads.

The classmates who have not visited his home in Needham have missed something, an old rambling house on the Charles River —beautiful colors in the fall, dogs aplentysetters mostly. He loves the out-of-doors and he lives where he can look at it.

I have had a number of times the pleasure of having him and his charming wife, Isabel, in my home, and my friends who met him always inquire about him and especially about her—that is the kind of people they are.
