1900

The college year opens unfortunately for 1900, with a death to record in each of three successive issues of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. The latest to go from us is Calvin Foss, whose obituary is to be noted in another column. As an undergraduate Calvin was an excellent and sober-minded student, with especial interest in debating. He was successful in his chosen profession, that of library work, until illness, some fifteen years ago, put an end to his active career. Since that time the class has had little contact with him, although he always retained a personal affection for his undergraduate associates and a keen interest in the progress of the College.

The fall round-up was held at the Boston City Club on October 24—the eve of the Harvard game—in connection with the Dartmouth Rally and Smoker, held in the same place. Fifteen members of the class were in attendance, as follows: Atwood, Howe, Jenkins,Jennings, McDavitt, Paddock, Prescott, Proctor, Rankin, Roberts, Sampson, Sears, Trull,Wallace, Woodman.

The secretary can state with surety that Arthur Wallace and Ben Prescott attended the Brown game in Hanover, because they made a visit to his house. Arthur Newton wrote that he and his family expected to attend the Pennsylvania game, but the secretary did not see them. Col. Teague has been in Hanover, off and on, since the Mt. Washington Railway suspended operations at the end of the season. A part of the time he has been a patient in Dick's House. There may have been other Hanover visitors, but, if so, they did not let the secretary know about it. Moral: if you wish your name in the Alumni Notes, keep the secretary informed, or (much to be preferred) come to see him. Exception: it will always be understood that Ben Prescott attends all games, although a visit from him is highly welcome.

Fred Smith reports the arrival of a second great-grandchild, Charlotte Eleanor Kohloss, who was born April 18, 1947.

Among the other results of Clarence McDavitt's detective activities comes news of the family of Charles Sargent, who died in 1915. We have had no information concerning his people since that time until now. It appears that Mrs. Sargent, some two years after Charles' death, married a physician, Dr. Evans, who practiced at Sandpoint, Idaho, by whom she had four children. Dr. Evans died in 1936 and his wife, still living at Sandpoint, is now Supervisor for Bonner County for the Idaho Department of Public Assistance, the only woman to hold such a position in the state. Charles Sargent Jr., entered college in Idaho in 1933 and remained for 2½, years. He then worked for the State Highway Department for five years and afterwards served with the United States Engineers in Alaska for a year and subsequently with the same organization in the states, building airports and doing other war work. In 1944, as a volunteer, he was inducted into the United States Army, in which he received the grade of second lieutenant, passing 11 months of his service with the engineers in India. Upon his return, determining to complete his college education, he entered the civil engineering course of the University of Idaho, and is now in his senior year in that institution, acting also as student instructor in two engineering courses. He was married in 1938 and has one son, Charles King Sargent, born April 20, 1946, at Seattle.
