This issue of the MAGAZINE should reach you in ample time to serve as an additional reminder of the annual Round-Up, held this year in the usual place at North Sutton, N. H., on June 22-24. You are not to regard the fiftieth reunion, held last year, as the termination of the activities of 1900. Everyone who continues to come to the Round-Ups is guaranteed a good time. We expect you to be with us and are looking forward to seeing you again.

The Golden Fiftieth report is now in your hands and the season for corrections and remonstrances is now with us. If you wish to communicate with Bill Howard you may find difficulty in doing so, following the address given in the directory, 5504 39th Ave., South Seattle, Wash. Please insert a missing comma to make it 5504 39th Ave., South, Seattle, Wash.

In these days we are best represented by our grandchildren. The six of them, a picture of whom appears in this issue, all attractive in appearance and neatly assorted, are, we think, characteristic. They are the grandchildren of the late Roland G. Eaton and the progeny of his son, Roland G. Eaton Jr. '26. Roland Jr. is manager of a hospital at Rochester, N. Y. His mother passes each winter at Miami, Fla.

A recent issue of the Baker Library Bulletin contains the announcement of a gift to the institution from Paul C. Wilson, "Fifteen books and brochures printed by Frederic W. Goudy or relating to him. many of them presentation copies to Mr. Wilson." Goudy was one of the most eminent of American type designers and a personal friend of Paul.

Charles Proctor is with us once again in Hanover upon his return from Florida, at least temporarily. He plans, however, to depart for California early in June to visit his son Charles in the Yosemite Valley.

Xews has been received of the death of Mrs. Lawrence W. Flint of Wakefield, Mass., on February 15. She was the daughter of the late Nathaniel N. Morse, and was 44 years of age. She leaves a husband and a son 12 years old. Mrs. Morse, at her home in Goffstown, has suffered recently two strokes and is now confined for the most part to her bed. She is being cared for by her daughter Nancy.

Mrs. Norman Chesley writes that her son Norman '41 in the Counter Intelligence Service is now stationed at Fort Holabind, Maryland. Her daughter Barbara (Mrs. Donald G. Roberts) lives in Orangeberg, N. Y. Her husband is now completing work for his doctorate at Columbia.

Arthur Virgin has not been entirely fortunate this winter. First his sister, who still resides at their home town of Concord, N. H., has been very ill, requiring of him a number of hurried trips to Concord. In February, following a series of colds, he was taken to a hospital in an ambulance and, upon his return to his apartment following his stay there, two months of quiet was prescribed for him. Mrs. Virgin, also, was subject to a variety of ills. However at the time of writing he was making ready for his usual spring migration from New York to North Hatley, this time in easy stages.

It is with a heavy heart that the death of Cornelius Mahoney is recorded this month in the In Memoriam section. The Baron, as for some reason, now forgotten, we always termed him, was very much one of us. His long career as a lawyer in Lawrence was outstanding. Midway in it he encountered adversity in relation to a bank with which he, for a time, was associated, which might well have daunted a person of less moral stamina, but he met it without a tremor and started afresh with renewed courage and eventual success. He valued highly his class associations and we valued him for his clear mental processes, his good fellowship and his interest in the welfare of each of us. A constant attendant at our gatherings, we shall find them in the future the less satisfactory because of his absence.

A 1900 FAMILY: These six grandchildren of the late Roland G. Eaton '00 all belong to Virginia and Roland Eaton Jr. '26, of Rochester, N. Y.
