1894

In the greater intimacy of this column another word with regard to Herbert Wilson may be given. His friend, W. G. Morton 28, says: "In the latter years of his life his memories of the class and his friends were so dear to him that he really could not speak of Dartmouth without tears coming to his eyes. He was the type of alumnus who through the years has made Dartmouth great." Those of us who attended the Round-Ups at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Jones remember what pains Wilson used to take in order to be present, and how he brought with him Dutton and Trow.

Herbert's daughter also sends an interesting item, coming from the present Oswego County Judge. This Judge says that when he first began to practice law as a young man in the Fulton City Court he was greatly impressed with Herbert's charitable understanding and sympathy with prisoners whose offenses were so entirely foreign to his own experience and character. For example, though he never drank himself, he was able to be charitable toward the drunkard.

Home-Coming notes: Lt. (sg) Matt B. Jones of the United States Navy has returned to Boston and resumed the practice of law. Capt. Vincent N. Merrill, Army of the United States, is also out of the service and engaged again in the practice of landscape architecture.

A school paper which comes to the secretary's desk is The Arckon o£ Governor Dummer Academy. The present editor-in-chief is George E. Duffy 11. This young man is also on the Honor Roll. "A grand-chip of the old block," one might say.

Here is a note of optimism from Herman Lovejoy: "I am glad to report that I am feeling well and planning to live until the beginning, at least, of my octogenarian year, in 1947. In September my wife and I and our son, Paul, took a motor trip to Vermont. We spent a few days at Lake Morey and while there saw Arthur Stone, who was busy renovating a cottage."

Word comes from Hanover that Phil Marden has been spending another day at the Inn. These Notes had scarcely been completed when the secretary was called to the telephone, to learn of the death of "Curly" (Rolla W.) Bartlett, which took place at his home at Longworth Towers in Brookline, March 7, after an illness of three days. The cause was coronary thrombosis. Funeral services were held two days later at Waterman Chapel, conducted by the class secretary and attended by many friends, including five other members of the class. The usual sketch will be sent in for publication in an early MAQAZINE.

Secretary, REV. 74 Kirkland St., Cambridge 38, Mass.

Treasurer, 89 Prospect St., Somersworth, N. H.
