1900

According to the Boston Herald the meeting of the League of Catholic Women, held in the Copley-Plaza Hotel in Boston on February 2, was featured by a debate between Charles H. Tuttle, of New York, formerly District Attorney and Republican candidate for Governor, and H. Leßaron Sampson, of the Boston law firm of Hutchins and Wheeler. Mr. Tuttle advocated enactment of the so-called fair employment legislation, and Harry opposed it on the ground that such action would undo progress already made in Boston for better race relations and might create active hatred, even leading to race riots. He called attention also to the handicap under which Massachusetts industries would labor if faced with a commission set up with power to require a business man to justify any of his employments or promotions. Those of us who remember the activities of the undergraduate college from 1896 to 1900 are entirely convinced that at the conclusion Mr. Tuttle knew that he had been in a debate.

Fred C. Smith has moved from Washington to one of its suburbs, across the line in Maryland, and is now located at 800 Dorset Ave., Kenwood, Washington 15, D. C. He writes that, despite his status as a great-grandfather, he is not growing a bit older, and, in fact, looks forward to his present proximity to a large country club for an increase in his golf ration during the coming summer.

Baron Mahoney reports the return of his son, who, for a long period, was an officer in the American Army in Iran, but who has now resumed his course in the Harvard Law School.

Mrs. John Long, just recovered from an illness, also reports the return of her daughter Mary after two years of Army service in England, France and Germany, the latter part of her stay being active in the position of executive officer to the chief of the Information and Education Program. Mary has now had four and a half years of service, first in the Canadian and then in the American forces.
