1894

. In the February issue hope was expressed that Ben Welton would recover from his heart malady so as to be able to give us some pictures of his winter sojourn at Vero Beach in Florida when we have our annual Round-Up next fall. But as will be seen from Phil Marden's sketch in the In Memoriam section this has not taken place. Ben did not wear his heart upon his sleeve but the heart was there and it beat warmly for '94 and his friends. One recalls the pains he took to have absentees included in the pictures taken in connection with our fall Round-Ups and to have the films sent to the absentees. It is good to feel that Mary was his partner in photography as she was so happily his life partner. Perhaps the pictures of Vero Beach will be given us next fall after all. Meanwhile she has the affectionate sympathy of all of us.

A friend of Fred Bushee in Boulder, Colo., writes:

"He is getting on very well. His health is better than at any time in the last year or so. A registered nurse is acting as housekeeper and she is taking very good care of Frederick. He does receive the ALUMNI MAGAZINE and is interested."

It is evident that this column is read at the Hall home on Silver Street in Dover, N.H. B Smalley's figures in the March issue brought a note from A liny and Dwight Hall to the effect that Dwight was born not in 1872 as B's figures indicated but in 1871. It seems that Dwight tried to have the right figure put into the General Catalog of 1940 but in vain. Now it is correct at least in the Class records.

Mrs. Ajax Rollins writes interestingly of her trip around among her four children. This meant that she spent time in North Scituate, R.I.; in Wichita, Kansas; in Denver, Colo., and then back to her permanent home with her daughter in White Plains, New York. After she reached home she had to go to the hospital for an operation to remove a breast cancer. She says: "Fortunately I came through amazingly well and am able to do much as before and feel quite well." She speaks of the marriage of her grandson Ed Turner Jr., who is a member of the sophomore class at Dartmouth. He married his high school sweetheart.

It being felt that the marriage of our honorary member, Charlotte Ford Morrison, mentioned in our last issue should be properly accentuated by the Class, action was taken which resulted in the following note from Mrs. Morrison:

"I have written to Phil Marden, and am now writing to you, to thank you and the wonderful Class of 1894 for our beautiful carving set. As I told Phil, neither Hugh nor I had a decent one and this was high on the list of things we would like to have. Some friends gave us a fine carver's assistant and when we saw it I said to Hugh, 'If we only had a nice carving set to go with it'. And now we have one, beautiful beyond words and beyond anything we had dreamed of possessing. We shall always treasure it and each time we use it, it will be with a very warm spot in our hearts for all the wonderful members of the Class of 1894."
