1889

The Hanover Inn has reserved for our use during Commencement weekend of June 11 to 13, four double-rooms, each with twin beds, on the top floor a few steps from elevator, which operates at all hours. Each room has running hot and cold water. The men s toilet room on this floor is centrally located nearby. These rooms later will be exchanged for rooms with bath when such become available through cancellations.

"Doc" Warden, upon being informed of our reservations at the Inn, at once sent an airmail letter stating that he surely will be present, even though Stalin should summon him to Moscow for a conference at that time. The middle of April, "Doc's" engagements would take him to New York to attend the annual meeting of the Associated Press and also the annual sessions of the American New spa per Publishers Association, after which he would visit Washington, D. C., for a few days before returning to Montana.

The Frosts are closing their winter home in St. Petersburg, Florida, early in May, and returning to their home in Swampscott, Mass. They are planning to join the '89 group in Hanover at Commencement time.

Prof. Edwin B. Davis—our "E.B."—will be missed at our get-together this year. In June he is to undergo a cataract operation which will not only keep him from being with us, but probably will prevent his spending the summer in Hanover, as has been his custom in past years. Good luck "E.B."-May your sight be fully restored.

Rev. Arthur Chase, informed of our reservations at the Inn, reports that he also intends to join our group in June. Arthur has come through the severe winter in good health and feeling quite fit. Following Easter Sunday, he left New Haven, Conn., where he again took up his residence last October (BOW at 324 Willow Street) and went South for a short visit.

George Bard spent the weekend of Easter Sunday with his relatives in Cambridge, Mass. He called upon your secretary before returning to New York.

Photographs of grandchildren of our class group are always interesting and acceptable, though seldom sent in for our secretarial file, which eventually the College Library would welcome receiving for its archives. Somewhat recently we have been fortunate in receiving two such photographs. One is of the grandchildren of Burt Redfield, the other of the granddaughter of "Jabe" Ellis, each presented by their respective grandmothers. The photograph presented by Mrs. Redfield is a group picture of two attractive children of her son John F. Redfield and his wife—John F. Redfield Jr., age 8, and Joan Constance Redfield, age 6. The photograph presented by Mrs. Ellis is of Margaret Elizabeth Reed, a charming and alert little girl, one year old, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred G. Reed (the former Elizabeth Ellis) of Arlington, Va. During his last illness in June 1946, "Jabe" looked forward with great interest to the birth of his daughter's child—which was expected about the middle of the month following. Should it be a boy, he wanted his name entered for admission to Dartmouth. Death intervened, however, before July 15, 1946, when his granddaughter was born.
