1891

Another trip by the Secretary and wife found us in a delightful weekend with Mrs. Sq. Little at her ancestral home in Moores Corners, Leverett, Mass.. .. An interesting home, dating back many years, but with the modern conveniences of today.

On the way back, a little '91 reunion at Gardner with Mrs. Watkins. (formerly Mrs. Gilman) and her daughter Mrs. Moore brought back pleasantly the 60th Reunion.

Earlier it had been possible to see Mrs. Allison in her ancestral home in Sherborn, Mass.

The following is a note found at the bottom of Arthur Krock's column of September si. It seems Mr. Krock, a day before, had undertaken to enumerate important personages at the time of the birth of The New York Times, and the note is certainly self-explanatory and is properly complimentary:

"Note: Robert Lincoln O'Brien, consulting only his memory, instantly identified twentyone in the list (published in this space today) of twenty-four famous members of Congress in 1851 when the first issue of The Times appeared. And Mr. O'Brien, also from memory, pointed out that Senators John Bell of Tennessee and John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky were not on the same ticket against Lincoln in iB6O, as stated here, but headed separate opposition tickets. This quiz kid has just turned 86."

A most disturbing letter from Eugene D.Burbank tells of a not-operational condition but one in which, by the use o£ hormones, life may be prolonged without undue suffering. Certainly all our sympathy goes out to Gene and his good wife.

A FAMILY DIFFERENCE: W. Pingry Boynton '9O (seated left) meets with his California-educated brothers, Morrill Boynton, Pomona 'O4 and Charles Boynton, Pomona 'Ol.
