1893

Letter from Dr. Billy Redenbaugh is interesting; quote:

"I was having cleaned a couple of pen and ink sketches that I did a long time ago, getting them ready to hang in my room. The lady doing the work, who was an artist, suggested that I enter them at the art exhibit." Billy did this, the result of which was described in a newspaper which Billy wrote he was sending but which has not arrived. As the deadline for the May issue has arrived we will have to postpone any more on this subject until a later issue of the MAGAZINE. However, Billy does write: "The judges were eminent artists from California, so I should feel highly honored."

He also writes about the thesis by which the College granted him a Ph.D. in Zoology and Chemistry in 1897. Last summer he told a professor of Zoology at the University of Washington that he sometimes thought he had perhaps wasted his time spent on that work; that he might have used the time to better advantage on something else.

"Oh, no," the professor replied, "Your work on Limulus studies is considered a classic and is quoted and copied by biologists all over the world." Billy adds, "Looks like my sins are catching up with me."

He hopes to be at our 6oth June 12, and he is planning on it. We will be glad to see him. His letter comes from Las Vegas, Nev., and letters to him at P.O. Box 150 that city will reach him.

"Austen Calefs wed 60 years," is the heading on a newspaper clipping which Mrs. Calef was kind enough to send in. A nice story of the St. Valentine's Day celebration of this interesting fact follows the heading. Mrs. Calef advises that Austen seems quite well, but has not been getting out much during the winter. He does get over to the store occasionally.

Mrs. Weston of Derry, N. H., writes that, "Ted is in bed practically all the time now," but he would enjoy hearing from any of his old Dartmouth friends and classmates. Last June it was necessary to rush him to the hospital and an oxygen tent used. He has been at the hospital four times.

An entertaining letter came to hand in midMarch from Miss Elizabeth B. Saben in which she writes: "My father Alfred L. Saben was a member of Dartmouth '93; which fact he never forgot for one instant. Now that my mother has died I am cleaning out our house and have found several souvenirs such as programs and books. What shall I do with them?" I have written Miss Saben that we would be very happy to have them for our files from which they would eventually become a part of '93's files at the Alumni Records Office.

Miss Saben's address is 58 Lynde St., Gardner, Mass., and our records indicate that in 1943 she was teaching English at the Gardner High School.

The Aborns are leaving St. Petersburg April 2.7 and expect to be at North Shrewsbury, Vt., May 4. P.O. address is Cuttingsville, Vt. Telephone is Rutland 472-W1.

Last, but not least, remember our 60-year reunion is June 12, 13, 14 this year.
