1886

Your secretary and his wife have returned to their winter home in St. Petersburg, Fla., after spending the month of October en route to Tryon, N. C.

Mr. and Mrs. James W. Newton were scheduled to be at their winter quarters November 1, at 456 East New England Ave., Winter Park, Florida.

Dr. Edward H. Ross entered Brightlook Hospital in Saint Johnsbury, Vt., on October 27, suffering from a stroke. As this goes to press he was in good spirits. His children, Ralph and Helen, fortunately were able to be home over the week-end.

Miss Mary Lord Fairbanks has presented to the College a plaque, which marks the house in which lived her great-grandfather—President Nathan Lord, between 1830 and 1870, and her own self during Arthur's second period of teaching in the college. This house stood second from the old White Church north of the campus when we were in college, and was known as the Moody house. The owner, Mr. Andrew Moody, was the son-inlaw of President Lord, and his daughter, Miss Bessie Moody, married Arthur Fairbanks soon after our graduation. Those of us who remember the beautiful homes which surrounded the campus in our day will be glad that this one, thus identified, has been preserved in its new location at 41 College St., a short distance above the new White Church but on the opposite side.

Miss Fairbanks, in addition to writing some good poetry, has done a good deal of painting in oil and water colors. She has also made some very attractive sketches of scenes about Hanover, a number of which have been reproduced in the ALUMNI MONTHLY. The drawings of Ledyard Bridge, The Tower, Dartmouth Hall, The Dartmouth Outing Club House, are her work.

Miss Fairbanks continues to make her home in Cambridge, Mass., where Arthur took up his residence while Director of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
