1900

Information has been received recently in regard to Charles E. Cake who was a member of the class for a short time in freshman year, and about whose subsequent history we have known almost nothing. It appears that he enlisted on Jan. 22, 1918 at Jefferson's Barracks, Mo., and was honorably discharged May 31, 1918, at Camp Devens, Mass., having served as a private, Q.M.C. He died in the Veterans Administration Hospital at Danville, 111., on Jan. 29, 1930, and was buried on the grounds of that hospital.

We have also learned from the widow of Leonard M. Newton, another classmate whose stay in Dartmouth was not long, that he left college early in his course because he lived only a short distance from Hanover and desired more college life, despite the insistence of his father that he live at home. In the fall of 1897 he entered Norwich University and was graduated in the class of 1901 as a civil engineer. He then worked with the New York Central Railroad until 1906 when he went to the Philippines where he helped lay out the first railroad in those islands. Returning to this country in 1908 he was associated with the Boston and Albany Railroad and lived in Newtonville until igao when he moved to Manchester, N. H., where he died in 1927. He is survived by a widow and daughter, now Mrs. Clyde C. Willey, of Manchester.

Ben Prescott and Arthur Wallace are making a joint automobile trip to Florida for a short vacation. Other residents or visitors in Florida during the winter are Lern Hodgkins and Charles Proctor at Clearwater, JohnWarden at St. Petersburg, Jed Prouty at New Point Richey, Henry Teague at Miami, Jonakowski at Sarasota and Harry Marshall at Coral Gables.

Mrs. Ted Cate announces the birth of her sixth grandchild Jean Robinson, the third child of her daughter Cynthia (Mrs. William G. Beal). She also reports that her youngest daughter Jean is to be married on April 2 to Mr. James Stanley Joseph. We have also news of the birth of a daughter Mary to Mrs. Catharine Anne Creswell, and granddaughter of the late Victor Salinger.

Mrs. Etta C. Rogers, widow of Charles W.Rogers, is spending the winter in Braintree, Mass. Her health is not of the best and the prescribed rice diet she considers no fun, but she manages to get around quite a bit. Mrs.Gilbert Balkam is now living in Harwichport, Mass., and enjoys the Cape much both as a winter and summer residence. Her four children are scattered through four different states. She says that she now has six grandchildren.

Ned Brown, as reported by Mrs. Brown, seems well, but is required to lead a very quiet life and can do little or no work. He spends most of his time reading.

The Watchman-Examiner (with the subtitle "A National Baptist Paper") publishes on the cover of its issue of Feb. 3 a picture of Dr. and Mrs. Harry I. Marshall over the caption "Christian Authors." In an article in later pages of the journal Harry's career is set forth in detail; his long missionary service in Burma, his authorship of nine books in the Karen language, and his more recent literary activity in the production of missionary articles and stories, including the novel, Naw-Su, based on the life history of a typical Karen girl. Mrs. Marshall's career as a teacher, preacher and revivalist, national lecturer and organizer for the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the author of poems and novels, is also described in detail.
