1904
Thaumaturge Lampee said, "This is the largest amount ever given by 1904"—102 contributions— $4857—an individual average of $47.60. Then a bonus, untaxable: two long letters telling of the State of the 1904 Nation. Here was another first—the only summer in our 55-year organization for which a social accounting had been made in early September covering the vacation months. A salute to "Squid" for his devotion to the cause of the class and to that of the College.
The In Memorian column of this issue records the death of Donald Brigham Logan at his summer home in Friendship, Maine. This letter from Sadie Briggs Logan will pleasantly recall Don's cheery smile and sincere manner about the campus during our years together. "The beautifully expressed telegram and the lovely basket of roses and delphiniums from Don's 'Classmates of Dartmouth 1904' were appreciated more deeply than you can possibly know. Don had an inherent loyalty to and affection for the friendships made at Dartmouth. In his moments of reminiscing his thoughts were ever of his college days and associates. He would be humbly grateful, even as I am, that those friends remembered him at this time. We all take much comfort from the fact that Don was able to have a very happy though short stay here in Maine before sleeping away into the next world. Please convey to the Class, on behalf of all Don's family, our very deep appreciation of their tribute to him." Mrs. Logan appreciated the presence of Matt Bullock, Beck Johnson, Squid Lampee and Pete Maguire representing the class at the church service.
We were surprised and greatly pleased to have Anna and Charlie Tubbs come in for a chatty visit one midsummer morning during a vacation trip renewing old associations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. They came to us from Hanover where Anna had been relearning why Dartmouth grasps and holds so securely the hearts of all her men—and women. Her first recognition of this Dartmouth quality was during the undergraduate life of her brother, Ray Trott '14.
During the month of June, the 28th to be exact, Sid and Louise Rollins were once more acclaimed grandparents by the birth of a daughter Anne, to Syd and Sherm Badmington.
Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase officially retired as Chancellor of New York University on June 30, completing 18 years of service in that office. He went on leave last January, but his retirement as Chancellor did not become official until June 30. At the age of 68, Dr. Chase who looks much younger than his years, said that he was retiring in order that he might secure a much earned and greatly needed rest. He is now at his country home in Port Jefferson, L. I. He expects to remain there until Christmas; after that he and Mrs. Chase, according to present plans, will go South for the winter. He says he hasn't any particular plans for the future except a 12month annual vacation. "We'll play canasta, read detective stories, rest in the sun, and then do more of the same."
In Beck's words "Johnnie," diminutive for "Jack" Kirker, spent a week or so in or near the Berkshires with his charming wife and enjoyed a talkfest with Beck Aug. 10 and spent an afternoon and evening with the Johnsons at Lenox on the 13th. It's good for the Kirkers to get the New England habit again. Jack and the writer had a summer together at Ogunquit, Me. during our earlier years. Beck says Mrs. Kirker is keeping Jack in condition for the 50th. Jack cheered Dave Ford by a visit last winter. Spike and Mrs. Sanborn were at their Lenox home for the Tanglewood concert season in August. The Rolfes, Woods, Mathes,Bartletts and Tubbs visited the Hanover plain during the summer. This should stimulate interest in the June "Hanover Holiday" for alumni. Puddie Cobb's son Lt. Julius D. was married to Joan Menton of Hempstead, L. 1., July 82. They are living at Lake Pleasant, N. Y., where Julius has joined his younger brother Christopher in a lumber business partnership. Both boys were graduated some years ago from the New York State Forestry School at Wanakena, N. Y.
About the middle of June Ike was given a commission by Sq.uid to paint a frigate or canoe—there was much super criticism by the artist as to the models submitted and there is no further news. Bill Slay ton spent a pleasant hour with us in September. Bill and the Mrs. are living in Lebanon for the fall at least. Matt Bullock made a quickie visit Friday afternoon before the Fordham game which he was going to observe. Ham '03 and Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. John '02 Gilman were early fall visitors after enjoying a health refresher course at Hanover. Beck wired Mac Knight as to possible damages during the Missouri flood which "did not effect the residence part of Kansas City." Here's a man who should visit us in '54.
Beck and Sallie had a very enjoyable Sep- tember vacation on Cape Cod which afforded much rest and relaxation to Sallie and many fish for Beck.
