1905
CLASS REUNION, JUNE 77, 18 AND 19
It is my sad duty to report the death of another member of our class. Dr. William JamesCampbell passed away suddenly on March 4 at Booth bay Harbor, Me. as a result of a traffic accident. Bill joined us in 1903 and during the two years he was with us he made a host of friends and established himself as one of the solid members of our class. He already knew what his life work was going to be and took up his work at Dartmouth with a seriousness °f purpose which laid the foundation for his splendid work in the ministry. Bill had a wonderful philosophy of life and in his letters to me I came to know him better and to appreciate his cheerful outlook and duty toward his fellow man. After many years in active ministry and religious educational work he retired last year and took charge of a small parish in Boothbay Harbor, Me., where he and Mrs. Campbell were very happy. He was a loyal Dartmouth man and the Class of 1905 was proud to count him among its members. Bill never missed a reunion if he could possibly be there and was looking forward to our reunion in June. The sincere sympathy of every member of the class is extended to Mrs. Campbell and their daughter Louise Grace in their great loss.
Word comes from Sliver that gifts for the Alumni Fund are coming in and he hopes this good response will continue so that we may go over the top this year. If you haven't sent in your contribution, please don't put it off any longer. Let's make this a banner year for 1905 and establish a record of which we shall all be proud.
Ernest N. Worthen retired last year as manager of the New York Life Insurance Company's Western Massachusetts Branch after 36 years in this position. After graduating from college he went to Springfield, Mass. and became cashier of the office in 1909 and a short time later was transferred to Milwaukee as cashier. In 1911 Ernest returned to Springfield, Mass. as manager and served in this capacity until his retirement, at which time he was the oldest general agent or manager in this territory in point of service. Ernest has been active in the Kiwanis Club of Springfield as well as the Life Underwriter's Association and the General Agents and Manager's Association of both of which he has been president. He has been an active Mason and is a Shriner. Ernest and Mrs. Worthen are happy in their four children and three grandchildren. They will continue to live in Springfield where Ernest plans to keep in touch with insurance work by looking after the interests of his personal clientele. We wish you, Ernest, and Mrs. Worthern many happy and prosperous years of well deserved leisure.
Plans for reunion are going forward and taking shape. Word is being received from many members of the class that they will be present and help make it one of our best. "C. C." was in New York last month and had a long conference with "Tub" Besse working out plans for what they hope will be a most successful reunion. I appeal to every one of you to put everything aside and be in Hanover June 17. In a recent letter "C.C." asked me to put the following in the class notes:—"I hope we will have a fine attendance at our coming 45th reunion next June for the reason that it appears we are not going to have time for many more of them. In looking over the tables of life expectancy as used by the life insurance companies I am pained to note that for our average age of 66 the figure is 11.01 additional years. It seems to be later than I had thought!" Let me add that it will be six years before we have our fiftieth reunion. Don't put off until then the joys of meeting old friends and talking over the glorious years spent in Hanover. Look over the directory of 1903-04-05 names and see how many of these old college mates you would like to sit down with and talk over the old days. By the time this issue of the MAGAZINE is in your hands or sooner, each of you will have received from the college cards on which you will be asked to make reservations for the reunion. You are to attend to this yourself as the committee has nothing to do with dormitory reservations. The committee will take care of everything else. Let's go 1905."
