1905
It is very pleasant that so many of our men are able to take advantage of retirement for travel. Roger Brown with his new wife is one of these. A card written in San Francisco gives a brief statement of their extensive journey: 5000 miles cross country by car, 3000 by air with his daughter to Alaska and back. They hit en route such interesting spots as, among others, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, Yellowstone Park, Rushmore, Grand Coulee Dam. At the time of writing, he was heading for the Grand Canyon and hoped to see Shirley Cunningham.
In a lengthy trip to the other of our American continents, Walt and Ethel Conley spent five and a half weeks on a Grace Line 10,000-mile cruise through the Panama Canal and down the west coast of South America as far as Valparaiso, Chile. From there they went by car 90 miles to Santiago. Walt says the high point of this trip was their two days spent in Lima, Peru, which has an astonishingly long history (dating from about 2000 8.C.) and is marked by several civilizations and high cultural achievements. For instance, some of the 10,000 miles of roads they built are still in use and are more extensive than the roads of the Romans.
Going in still another direction, Percy Ladd sailed to Britain with the University Tours, Shakespeare locale and church monuments being his particular objectives. He also visited Holland, looking there as well as in England for traces of the Pilgrims. "I enjoyed it immensely," he says, " - the usual impressions: the exquisite beauty of the countryside, the grimy blackness of the dirty public buildings, the hoary age of the churches and colleges, the ruins of castles, cathedrals and Roman walls." I'm sorry that space limitations prevent my quoting more from Percy's very interesting and keenly appreciative account.
Tub Besse did a little traveling, too, as far as Cape Cod on the Columbus Day weekend. He took in the Brown game and apparently greatly enjoyed himself. Though he ran across no '05 men, he did see Sexton and Bullock '04 and Redman and Frasee '06. In a fine reminiscent mood, Tub in his letter to me recalled his previous Dartmouth-Brown game in Manchester in 1902 when he barely escaped freezing to death!

From Royal Parkinson comes this report: "The pre-Harvard game dinner was held Friday, October 26, at the Union Club in Boston this year, with Walter Powers and his twelve '06 men and Sliver Hatch and his six other '03 men. Our numbers are getting fewer, but the dinner was out of this world. It was an informal party. Ned Redman '06 came up from New York. Our group besides Sliver, included 'Elsie' Grover, C. C. Hills, George Hersam, Tom Keady, 'Doc' MacMillan and myself. The two classes are very congenial. It was reported that Henry Thrall is better. We missed Halsey Loder and Bill Clough, our veteran regulars.
"Alva Hatch, Anne Reid, Marion Grover, Bea MacMillan, Isabel Hills and Ida Parkinson enjoyed a dinner party of their own elsewhere."
