1889

The death of Walter Sullivan, following within a year the death of Henry Blair, has dealt another heavy blow to (he few of us left. "Sully," as he was affectionately known by classmates, and quite generally by undergraduates of our time, maintained an active interest in his Class and in the College up to the time of his death. He rarely failed to attend class reunions. He gathered with classmates in Hanover at Commencement time in off-years. He was there in June 1946, again in June 1948. It was a bitter disappointment to him when enfeebled health prevented his coming to Hanover last June to join the seven of the nine living graduates gathered there for their sixty-year reunion. His unforgettable smile, his unfailing good humor endeared him to the hearts of all who knew him. His InMemoriam appears in this issue.

Mrs. David N. Blakely has sold her home at 16 Beech Road, Brookline, Mass., where she has lived since she and David in early married life began living there more than 30 years ago.

Mr. Taylor, a graduate of Harvard in the class of 1929, is instructor in Spanish in Phillips Andover Academy.
