1886

There is little to say about the activities of the living members of the Class, but we are glad to pass along some bits of news from the families of those who have left us. The outstanding item is the unparalleled interest which they continue to show in the Alumni Fund, which has put '86 ahead of all the rest in the percentage of givers, and almost at the top in proportion of quota reached. For each member of the class there are others who have the Dartmouth Spirit.

Mrs. John French spends her summers in Woodstock, Vt., where she and John grew up together. John 3rd flew to London to meet John, Jr. and thence to visit Switzerland during his vacation from the Hotchkiss School.

Arthur Hale's son Bill has purchased a summer home in Greensboro, Vt., where his family have summered for the past three years quite near to the Kelly's home. Richard Hale will enter Antioch College in the fall.

Granville Howard reports that he is as well as usual, and enjoys working a couple of hours a day on his farm, which he calls an expensive toy. After all his years of hard work, Gran is entitled to have his fun.

Mrs. Chan Jenks suffered the loss of her sister with whom she had spent the winter in Carmel, California for many years. She returned to her Evanston home during the summer, and sent her kindest remembrances to all the '86 family.

The Kellys spent their 40th season in Greensboro, Vt., where "Biff" is now one of the old timers. St. Petersburg will be their home after November 1.

The Newtons spent the summer at the Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, N.C., amid the many scenes which reminded Billy of the days of his youth in Hanover. Mrs. Newton found many attractive activities offered by the University during their stay. They return to another lively college town—Winter Park, Fla.—in November.

"Pete" Richmond's daughter Eleanor has sold her Hingham home and will live with a cousin, Mrs. Samuel W. Duncan, 73 Roundwood Rd., Newton Upper Falls, Mass. Her sister Louise (Mrs. Huse), whose attractive daughter Eleanor attended our 55th reunion, is now the grandmother of twin boys, one of whom is named Pete in remembrance of his great-grandfather, the original "Pete."

Your secretary saw Ned Ross several times during the summer. Ned no longer drives his car, but gets around slowly in spite of his illness of the last two years.

Mrs. Walter Sampson has recently lost the sister with whom she has lived since Sampy's death, and now lives with her niece, Mrs. Blanche Atwater, at Lyndon Corner, Vt.

Miss Katherine Snow, daughter of Conrad and granddaughter of Leslie P. Snow, went to London soon after graduating from Skidmore in June to be an exchange student for the coming year. She majored in music and journalism at Skidmore, and was one of three U.S. college students accepted for this fellowship. Her father, Conrad, was a Rhodes Scholar. Miss Constance, another daughter of Conrad's, flew to Bermuda with her grandmother in April for a short vacation.
