1886

For the past eight years 'B6 has led all classes in' the percentage of contributors to the Alumni Fund—a record due largely to those who have made memorial gifts. This year, following the SOS call of President Dickey for contributions to scholarships funds, the Class adopted the plan of linking up the drive with Memorial Day by giving living memorials to the Alumni Fund, instead of flowers, in memory of members of '86. As a result, the Class had a participation index of 500. The number of contributors was 20, and the amount given was 530.52. Class Agent Newton suggests: "This plan might be adopted as a standard of procedure in all classes to raise money for future Dartmouth men."

Rev. Samuel Rose of Greenfield, Mass., passed away at his home on May 27, in his ninetieth year. An obituary which appeared in the July issue of the MAGAZINE paid tribute to his lifetime of service which included 35 fruitful years in the Christian ministry. The Class remembers with affection and sympathy his three children, Rev. Dr. Philip Rose '09 of Glastonbury, Conn., Col. Edward Rose, West Point '12, of Alexandria, Va., and Miss Elizabeth Joy Rose, Middlebury '15, of Greenfield.

The Kellys reached their St. Petersburg home on September 11, which is earlier than usual. On a trip to Hanover in August they noted that the activity there was remarkable for a summer day. The Inn was bustling with business and the streets were filled with cars. They met Hadlock '87 and William Marden '11, who were staying at the Inn.

Harry Burley has been spending about half of each week since May at his farm in Epping, N. H., coming in to the factory in Dorchester, Mass., on the remaining days. He is worried about how he can manage to get his apples picked, probably 10,000 bushels, all within the six weeks ending October 31. Mrs. Burley stayed at the farm from August 1 to midSeptember. The boys, Joseph and Harry Jr., are struggling with the business at the factory, which has been stepped up by demands for insulated wires and multi-conductor cables for war equipment. Robert is employed by a concern on Long Island, New York, doing research work on airplane problems.
