1889

Dartmouth lost, through the death of HenryBlair, one of her most distinguished sons. His unselfish service for humanity is an inspiring record of integrity in all of life's relationships. For our twenty-fifth anniversary Class Report he wrote that he was trying to be a useful member of the community and maintain the ideals of his profession. He never elaborated on this. As long as he lived he refrained from discussing his personal activities, and relatively little regarding them ever appeared in print. The Bishop of Washington, D. C., referred to his charities as "secret charities,"—charities that were close to his heart, which were to go unrecorded. An In Memoriam notice appears in this issue.

The item in our November Class Notes that "Sully" had been stricken with coronary thrombosis was incorrect, we are happy to state. Last summer he had a thrombosis which had to do with a muscle of his heart nothing to do with his coronary. A recent letter from him would seem to confirm information earlier received from Miss Nancy Sullivan, his daughter, that her father was really quite well and as bright and gay as usual. "Sully" expressed himself feelingly regarding the passing of Henry Blair and, referring to his own condition, wrote "although our arteries have hardened a bit, and although our wind is short—except for talking, we have laid up stores of wisdom so we can offer good counsel," quoting, he stated, from Ralph Barton Perry's delightful "Plea for an Age Movement."

Hardy Ferguson on November 3 was the thirteenth and last of our thirteen living members to enter the octogenarian class. The event brought to his New York office a shower of congratulatory messages from classmates, friends and acquaintances.

Miss Margaret T. Ellis of Evanston, Ill., younger daughter of "Jabe" Ellis, late last spring sailed for Italy where, for the first portion of her absence, she studied painting with a group from the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, of which she is a graduate. Upon leaving Italy, she visited Vienna, went to Salzburg for the festival, made a short visit in Switzerland, spent a month in France, and visited Brussels en route to Holland, where she embarked for home in October. Upon arrival in New York she made a short visit in Concord, N. H., with Miss Louise Ellis, her father's sister, and, on her return to Boston to entrain for home, your secretary had the pleasure of meeting her between trains and having a very pleasant chat with this attractive, talented daughter of our late classmate.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hazen early last September gave up their residence in Lewistown, Mont., where they have lived the past 50 years, and went to Logan, Utah, to make their home with their son, Richard E. Hazen, whose fam- ily consists of Mrs. Hazen and two children. The address in -Logan is 258 East First St., North.

Mrs. and Mrs. Harry Frost have been at their Swampscott home since early October, after spending the summer at their camp on Crystal Lake in Gilmanton, N. H. On November 13 they are leaving for their winter home in St. Petersburg, Fla., where, until next May, their address will be 4701 29th Ave., South.

Prof. Edwin B. Davis our "E.B." now retired, has been granted by Rutgers University for the coming year an allowance for research work, now that he will be able to use his eyes effectively following His operation last June. During the past year articles from his pen have appeared occasionally in the New YorkSun. His new address is R.F.D. 3, Box 238D, New Brunswick, N. J.
