1886

Class Agent and President, JAMES W. NEWTON College Arms Apts., Winter Park, Fla.

The 65-year Class, 1886, hopes to have a headquarters at the Inn at which the survivors and their helpers will keep open house on Saturday afternoon, June 16. All who have been connected with '86, either in College or later, are cordially invited to drop in, and others, too, will be welcome.

The Newtons attended the Winter Park, Fla., Dartmouth Pow-Wow on April 10 at which President Dickey spoke. They report 86 present (a fine number!) at this most encouraging and successful meeting.

It is pleasant to see the reference to our classmate Robert Gilman Brown in the portion of Herbert Hoover's memoirs entitled, "My Boyhood Days," which has appeared in Colliers and Reader's Digest. It was Brown, the "engineer from the East," says Mr. Hoover, who impressed him with "the advantages of college training for a profession and spoke much of engineering," and led the young man to enroll in engineering courses at Leland Stanford University, then newly opened.

Stet would have new cause to be proud of his grandchildren. News of two of them has just reached us. George W. Stetson Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Ward Stetson of Middleboro, is with the Air Force in New Mexico, probably about to go overseas. Thalia Kennedy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Parker H. Kennedy (Thalia Stetson) of Newton Center, has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa. She is graduating this month from Smith.

The secretary and Mrs. Kelly arrived at their summer home in Greensboro, Vt., on May 21.
