1899
Gifts from the first month of spring to '99—Benezet and Skinner. Many happy returns!
In January's MAGAZINE the leading item in the 1900 column was about John Ash who graduated with that class but was a member of our class through the years before that and has always had a place in our minds and hearts along with our other classmates. Since the article about him appeared in the January number, his wife has passed on. Warren Kendall, who was at the Pacific Coast at the time and learned about it, sent a floral offering from the class. Mrs. Ash will be remembered with others of the family who made the long trek from Oregon to Hanover in their automobile to be with us at our 30th reunion—l think it was the 30th. His "So much for Baldwin" at the conclusion of his reminiscence about our "whereabouts unknown" classmate will long be remembered.
Some of the more fortunate who have been spending lucky days of leisure in Florida during the cold months are Joe and Mrs.Hobbs, Charlie and Airs. Adams, Rodneyand Mrs. Sanborn and Warren and Mrs.Kendall. Dan and Mrs. Ford, of course, are there at Sarasota the year round.
Not quite so far down in the sunny South, Tim Lynch, since November, has been playing golf with the men and cards with the widows at the Carolina Hotel at Pinehurst.
Late in January the Secretary was honored with a visit from Phil and Mrs. Winchester when they called to see him at TheTimes. Phil was in New York to attend a meeting and dinner of the Society of Dart mouth Engineers.
On January 19 Bill Kendall, oldest son of Warren and Helen, was appointed assistant to the President of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company with headquarters in Wilmington, N. C.
The column has to be short this month at the request of the Editor because of space devoted to the Alumni Fund. Another alibi is that the Secretary has received very little news from classmates. Please send some in and help make the column interesting.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Joe or "Censor" Gannon, as he was termed in Time magazine, was the subject of a write-up in the February 13 issue, under the heading of "The Press." Joe's work as "chief censor" of New York Times advertising was described, with convincing examples—revealing that Joe's job requires a fine balance between good taste and advertising sense.
