1894

Wanted - a copy of Fifty Years After. The Secretary has had to cut his own copy and needs an unmutilated one for the Class archives.

The Hanover Inn reports Benjamin F. Welton as a registrant, March 24 and 25.

Those who attended (a very large percentage of the Class) the annual Round-Ups at the home of Matt and Grace Jones, will remember how every once' in awhile, Matt had those whom he called "the kids" come in and meet us: These were his daughter and his son with their respective husband and wife. So it is interesting to notice that Sumner H. Babcock, Catherine Jones' husband, has recently completed a term as president of the Boston Bar Association. He and Catherine have two children, a boy and a girl. Matt Jones Jr. has for five years been City Solicitor of Newton. His wife Louise reports him as "very busy." They have three children, the oldest of whom is scheduled for Vassar this fall. There are also two boys, respectively 17 and 15, and it is a fair guess that one or both of them will carry on the Jones tradition at Dartmouth in due time. The older is Matt B. Jones III. It will be remembered that Matt's older son Walter, who graduated at Dartmouth in 1923, died in 1936. He left a son and a daughter, the son being currently at Cornell.

Whether this issue of the MAGAZINE reachesthe readers of this column before our 60threunion, your columnist does not know. Inany case, whether or not they pass throughVermont, coming or going, or whether Vermont must be only a vivid memory to them'because of past acquaintance with the state, itseems worth while at this particular momentto publish what Frank Balch wrote about thestate (it came out in the Burlington Free PressOctober 16, 1947):

Vermont

Who gazes from her lofty mountain tops Sees .freedom in the green hills of Vermont; He sees wide valleys with their ripened crops Who gazes from her lofty mountain tops. When toward, the south the sun in autumn drops, Bright, varied colors these same hills will flaunt! Who gazes from her lofty mountain tops Sees freedom in the green hills of Vermont.

Here unity was well exemplified Among her loyal patriot pioneers. Opposed on many sides and sorely tried, Here unity was well exemplified. Joining the States to her was long denied; Yet when she overcame her foes and fears, Here unity was well exemplified Among her royal patriot pioneers.
