The news of the death of Tom Christy on July 25, 1951, at the Veterans Administration Sanatarium, Northampton, Mass., has just been received. Tom was a member of our Class during 1894-95 and was a very popular member of the Class. Very little has been heard from him since he left College and he had never attended any meeting of the class. See In Memoriam column for further notice.

The notes for the March issue of the MAGAZINE had been sent in before the news of Eddie Batch-elder's death had been received and there was only time in which to make the brief notice of his death. On the afternoon of his death he had left home for his office at two o'clock laughing and talking as he went out and at 6ve Gertrude was called to come at once to the office. When she arrived there she found him sitting in his chair dead, another heart attack and a c|uick one. Eddie had practised medicine in Dover for 47 years and was highly respected as a surgeon and was very well liked in the community as we would expect he would be. His funeral was attended by members of many organizations, city officials, medical .societies and groups. The honorary bearers were the complete membership of the Dover Medical Society. The sympathy of the entire class goes to Mrs. Batchelder and the family.

In a letter to Jack Spring, Mabel Hoyt, widow of Everett Hoyt, said that she had eight grandchildren ranging from 14 to 21/2. The youngest is named for Everett and is the son of William E. Hoyt Jr. '37. So, in the matter of grandchildren the Hoyts are up in the class with the Carneys and Chandlers.
