1889

President Dwight D. Eisenhower's presence at the Commencement Exercises on Sunday, June 14, when he will receive a LL.D. degree from Dartmouth, will undoubtedly bring together an unprecedented large attendance not only of all classes having reunions at Hanover on that date, but of the public in general. The limelight of the nation will briefly be centered on these colorful exercises held in the Bema with its beautiful setting in the College Park.

The recent death of Fred A. Howland '87 removed another member of the older alumni whose presence in Hanover at Commencement time will be missed. His passing is especially felt among those of our time by ClarenceMoulton, they both having been lifetime residents of Montpelier, Vt., and having been associated closely together for many years in their respective capacity as officials in the National Lite Insurance Company and the Montpelier National Bank.

Your secretary was a dinner guest of Dr. Edwin H. Allen '85 at his Boston home on Beacon Hill the evening of April 16, the 89th anniversary of Dr. Allen's birth. lie appears to be in excellent health and enjoying life notwithstanding his advanced age. His faculty for reminiscence is remarkable. His son Nathaniel contributed to the pleasure of the evening by showing some exceptionally interesting moving pictures of foreign scenes taken shortly prior to outbreak of World War XI.

James C. Flagg, who died March 30, 1947, lived in San Diego, Calif., at 1889 Sunset Boulevard. He married October 28, 1942, Mrs. Carrie Hayden Johnson of San Diego, who survived him. Flagg's entire estate was distributed to his two nieces, Martha Flagg Emerson and Emily Emerson Day, his only surviving relatives, including his San Diego residence, which, however, was subject to a life estate of Carrie H. Flagg, his widow. Flagg's individual estate was appraised at $35,910.83. His widow died November 29, 1947, and her entire estate likewise was distributed to his two above mentioned nieces. The widow's estate was appraised at $46,600.02. Flagg owned at the time of his death the house and land on West Shore Drive in Marblehead, Mass., the house he restored in which he lived in his bachelor days. The Marblehead property was sold soon after his decease and the proceeds divided equally between his abovementioned nieces, who are daughters of Prof. Charles F. Emerson of Dartmouth, known by students of his day as "Chuck," whose wife, the former Caroline. Flagg, was a sister of James C. Flagg. Miss Emerson now lives in Williamstown, Mass., and her sister, Mrs. Day, is the widow of Edmund E. Day '05, former president of Cornell University, and now lives in Ithaca, N. Y.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Frost closed their winter home in St. Petersburg, Fla., on April 29 and came North, stopping over a few days in New York en route to their home in Swampscott, Mass. They will be at the Hanover Inn at Commencement time to rejoin our Class Family group then gathered there for our annual get-together.

The engagement of Miss Nancy Benton Warden, an attractive daughter of Alexander Warden '19 of Great Falls, Mont., and granddaughter of "Doc" Warden, was announced by her parents early this year to James Louis Nulliner, who received his diploma from the Great Falls high school while serving in the Marine Corps, from which he was discharged in 1952 following four years' service in Korea and Japan. Their wedding took place in March at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Great Falls.
