1890

The first time I attended the annual meeting of the secretaries of the College I interviewed Prof. L. B. Richardson regarding his publishing the memoirs of Senator GeorgeMoses. An examination of the material convinced him that he could not go through with the work it would entail. He turned it down. It has always seemed to me that if Moses could have conserved his strength, with competent secretaries and stenographers and with the cooperation of Reynolds, the work ould have been done and that the same success would have attended it as did Blain's twenty years of Congress.

The Dartmouth Scene by James Campion came as an answer to prayer. Henceforth I can orient myself without a guide. Words fail to do justice to it. Aside from the pleasure of greeting President and Mrs. Dickey, of attending the meetings of the secretaries and the lobster dinner and then listening to the address of the President (he always gives you something to think about), aside from all this is the pleasure of greeting Prof.Gerould, plain John to his classmates. We discuss each member of '90 and then as a finale John says, "And how are the Canty sisters and their mother?" X proceed to tell him and I tell him plenty. The seasons' greetings were extended to each member of '90.
