1890

Last May the secretary was for the second time in attendance at the meeting of the class secretaries of the alumni of Dartmouth. It was extremely interesting and enjoyable. The high note of the meeting was the reception given to the class secretaries, treasurers and agents, by President Dickey. It is the consensus of opinion among these secretaries, treasurers and agents that not only has Dickey made good up to now as President but that he is growing in stature as time marches on. That is assuredly my opinion. It makes all the difference in the world when returning to Hanover to know that you have a classmate who lives there. It brightens up the corner where you are. Last May Prof. Gerould took me to the Thayer School of Civil Engineering. We went from the basement to the top and by the time we reached the top I was all in, I mean I had plenty of exercise. The Thayer School has everything except the cyclotron. Maybe that is there. I do not recall seeing it.

The death of Dr. Morgan, Gerry to his classmates, came as a shock to the survivors of '90. Mrs. Morgan had gone on to his farm in West Springfield, N. H„ where she was awaiting him at the time he was stricken by a heart attack in Washington, D. C. He was to have left the following day to join her. As 1 think of him I am reminded of the obituary notice of an alumnus of Dartmouth, years ago. There was a list of the achievements and honors that had come to him and it was a long one. The last words of that obituary notice were "and he was a graduate of Dartmouth College." In those identical words lies the secret of the achievements, honors and fame that came tWilliam Gerry Morgan, world famous medical specialist. It is said that service is the essence of the Dartmouth Spirit. Dr. Morgan embodied it. He was intensely loyal to Dartmouth and to the class of 90.
