1904

The following letter from Herluf V. Olsen, Dean of the Tuck School, to Robbie will be pleasing to all the class:

"Dear Mr. Robinson:

"The beautifully framed painting of Bill-Gray is now hanging in one of the north panels of the wall of our Faculty Room. You certainly did a mighty fine job in the way in which you had it framed and the name plate prepared. The picture looks one hundred per cent better, and all of us are highly pleased to have it. May we again express to you and your classmates our sincere and deep appreciation for what you have done for us.

"I look forward to seeing you again in Hanover so that you may also have a chance to view the painting where it is now hanging."

Dean Olsen's letter arrived October 25th. Three days later the Austin family enjoyed a perfect fall day by lunching at Thayer Hall, then walking along the cemetery boundary to Tuck Drive and the Tuck Group, where we had our first view of Bill Gray's portrait in the Faculty Room. Herman Feldman and Nat Burleigh of the faculty were in their offices and expressed their personal satisfaction in the portrait. We were happily surprised at the fidelity with which the artist had brought out the genial and lovable qualities which had endeared Bill and his memory to the College and the Town for so many years. It brought back vividly the man who always expressed keen delight at seeing any classmate visiting Hanover and gave freely of his precious time to make his stay there a pleasant one.

We also visited the new settlement, "Wigwam Circle," opposite the Tuck School and nestling close to the south side of the new Thayer School, where many of the married undergraduates are now living. Incidentally, we supplemented our many visits during reunions to the tomb of Eleazar Wheelock by a daylight one. A brief stop at the Oval to see the football squad at work completed a full half day of Hanover browsing pleasurable beyond our ability to convey it to you here.

Don Logan has changed both his business and home addresses, the changes occurring about the first of September. Business: 68 Prescott St., Worcester 5, Mass. Residence: 53 Elm St., Apt. 26, Worcester, Mass.

We were privileged to enjoy the company of Gil and Hazel Moulton for a few hours Sunday noon, following the Harvard-Dartmouth game. The Sewalls, who have generally made these trips with the Moultons, were at Rockland, Maine, where Judge Sewall's court duties did not permit the trip. The Edgerleys, Kneelands, and Tinker Gale were at the game, and doubtless several others were included in Dartmouth's largest football crowd.
