September brought birthdays to three of our members, to Bard and Chase on the 24th, their 86th and 84th respectively; to Moulton on the 29th, his 88th.

The history of the custom of a Class Pipe at Dartmouth in our last June's Class Notes brought from Mrs. Jennie D. Henry of Helena, Mont., sister of our late classmate Dexter D.Dow, this story: Following graduation, Dow became a student in the law office of Bingham, Mitchell and Bachellor in Littleton, N. H. Buckley '87 was studying law there at that time. It then was the custom of members of that law firm to take turns in gratuitously writing editorials for the local weekly newspaper. The firm members continued to do this for some time, then Buckley took over. Finally, it fell to Dow, and later, when he left Littleton and went to Woodsville, N. H., to live, he continued there to write the editorials. Mrs. Henry was then living in Littleton. A year or so later, just before Christmas, the editor of the local newspaper asked Mrs. Henry to call at his office. She did so, and was handed a package to give to her brother when he came to her home on Christmas Day. Dow arrived Christmas morning and the package was handed to him. Nothing could have given him a more unexpected surprise than to find the package contained a beautiful meerschaum pipe presented by the editor of the Littleton newspaper in grateful appreciation of the editorials he had written. It was smoked by our classmate with great care and brought to a rich color. Today it is one of Mrs. Henry's treasured possessions associated with her brother.

The marriage of Harold Warren Knight III of Charleston, W. Va., to Miss Nancy Ellen Morse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles William Morse of Milton, Mass., took place at Saint Michael's.Episcopal Church in Milton on June 12 last. A reception followed at the bride's home. Mr. Knight, a senior at the University of Virginia, is a grandson and third to bear the name of our late classmate. The bride, whose father is a graduate of Dartmouth, Class of 1924, is a member of the senior class at Smith College.

The Montana Highway Commission, in honor of the late Great Falls publisher and its former chairman, has named the new Tenth Avenue south bridge across the Missouri river at Great Falls on the Great Falls-Helena Highway "The O. S. Warden Memorial Bridge." It is Montana's longest bridge—a 2,000-foot structure, built at a cost of more than a million and a half dollars. At the dedicatory ceremonies held in September, following the speaking, Mrs. O. S. Warden, and Jock Warden, 11-year-old son of the late publisher and Mrs. Warden, joined in cutting the tape across the bridge—opening it for public use.

Alexander P. Nelson has finally reported after several years of silence. A communica tion from him, dated September 26, 1951, sent at your secretary's request, simply states that he continues to live in Santa Ana, Calif., at his old address, 808 North Parton Street. Alec prepared for college at St. Johnsbury (Vt.) Academy, entered with our Class but left at the end of sophomore year to study law. He was born in Mclndoes Falls, Vt., July 9, 1866.
