Hardy S. Ferguson, our class president, continues active as consulting engineer for paper and pulp companies. Among his clientele is the St. Regis Paper Company, which now is building two mills in Florida at a cost of about $27,000,000, one near Pensacola, the other near Jacksonville. He visits these construction jobs about every six weeks. The St. Regis Paper Company now holds an undivided half interest in oil and mineral rights on 277,000 acres in southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle, Roy K. Ferguson, president and chairman, announced at the recent annual meeting of the company in New York. Your secretary was a dinner guest of Dr. Edwin H. Allen '85 at his Beacon Hill home in Boston on April 16, his 88th birthday. Alert mentally and remarkably fit physically for his age, Dr. Allen's inexhaustible store of reminiscence, his ready wit and his extraordinary gift of story telling hit a high note on his birthday and gave entertainment old college grads enjoy. What he had to say regarding his classmate Richard Hovey, long deceased, is an in- timate story about Dartmouth's poet that few who knew him are now left to tell.

At a banquet celebrating the inauguration by the Great Northern Railway of transcontinental mainline passenger train service through Great Falls, Mont., John M. Budd, president of the Great Northern, and principal speaker, paid a tribute in that city recently to the late O. S. Warden, Tribune publisher, for the important part he had played in the establishment of the transportation service that now has become a reality. In addressing the audience, which included more than 150 Chamber of Commerce leaders, he said: "Great Northern had a valued and respected friend in O. S. Warden, and our regret that he could not have lived to see the realization of what he so long and so ardently advocated and worked for is deeper than I can adequately express."
Scott Warden, grandson of the late O. S. Warden, and son of Alexander S. Warden '19 of Great Falls, Mont., was married in New York City on January 18 last to Jean Frances Gehlert, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Humphrey of Fort Collins, Colo.
