Just as the October issue was going to press, we learned of the death of George Greeley which occurred September 13, at the Marlboro Hospital. In our haste to get this information in the October issue we, in some unaccountable way, incorrectly gave the date as August 2—it was September 13.

George—affectionately known as "Horace" or "Hod" by his classmates—was held in high esteem by all who knew him, not only as a student but as an estimable man in many ways. His career as a prominent banker proved our conviction that whatever he undertook would be successfully accomplished.

He was ever loyal to '93 and to the College. We missed him at our 55th greatly as he had been regular in his attendance at reunions. Our sympathy goes out to Mrs. Greeley and their two daughters.

Mrs. Charles R. McKenzie writes Judge Griffith that she is now living at 218 Passaic St., Hackensack, N. J., and she rejoices that she is near her son Alexander A. McKenzie 11, Dartmouth*'32. We presume he was named for our classmate's brother Alexander Anderson McKenzie '91.

Alexander the second has a son Alexander the third, born 1940, who theoretically at least should be a Dartmouth Man, which would mean another Dartmouth three-generation family of the same surname stemming from '93.

Those of us who attended our 50th in .1946 will remember that Clarence McKay '93 had his son Hugh '21 and his grandson, then in College, with him. In fact their picture taken together was in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE of that time.

Now it appears that Arthur Arnold—whose obituary appears in this issue, has a grandson in College, class of '50. He is Richard J. Arnold, son of the late Vernet A. Arnold '20.

This all reminds us that mention should be made of the fact that John Pennell Aborn is now in College, class of 1952, son of John Russell Aborn '22 and grandson of WillardG. Aborn '93.

While on the subject of Aborn, we are forced to announce that your acting secretary and Mrs. Aborn have found it necessary to give up their planned extensive trip to the West Coast due to illnesses. Angina laid him low in August and the doctor has ordered rest and plenty of it. Mrs. Aborn developed a case of "mono-nucleosis"—so that as soon as possible we will proceed by the easiest way possible and as soon as possible to St. Petersburg, Fla. where beginning Nov. 1 our address will be the same as last winter: c/o The Floronton Hotel.

Secretary, The Floronton Hotel, St. Petersburg, Fla.

Treasurer, 197 Clarendon St., Boston, Mass.
