1898

Since the last class notes were sent in there have been two deaths among our classmates. Fletcher Swift died at Berkeley, Calif, on May 28, 1947 and Everett Hoyt died at Salem, Mass. on July 1, 1947.

On June 17, 1947, Pete Adams added another to his many honorary degrees for on that day Princeton University at its bicentennial celebration conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Science with this citation:

WALTER S. ADAMS, astronomer and director emeritus of the Mount Wilson Observatory—A lifelong student of the spectra of the sun and stars, his original and precisely detailed studies of the light given oft by thousands of stars in hundreds of different wave lengths have revealed their distance from the earth and their composition. For more than twenty years the distinguished director of the world's foremost observatory.

Ted and Berthe Leggett have another granddaughter, Diana Woodruff Dyer. It is regretted by your secretary that more notes about members of the class are not found in this month's issue. Unless information about themselves or other members of the class is sent in by classmates, items about them cannot be printed. There are several classmates who fully cooperate with the secretary and frequently send in news not only about themselves but also of other classmates as well. Your secretary beseeches such cooperation from the others.

This is the college year for the 50-year reunion of our class, the time June 1948. The committee for the reunion hopes that every member of the class is already making plans to be present in Hanover next June for this reunion. The committee would appreciate hearing from classmates with information whether or not they are planning to attend. Such letters should be sent to Ted Leggett, Chairman, 53 Claremont Road, Scarsdale, N. Y.

Secretary and Treasurer, 14 Say ward St., Dorchester, Mass.
