1902

Yesterday, under date of April 9, came a copy of the Bulletin. Whoever edits that publication does a remarkably good-job. He reports that Hanover has established a new record in snow-fall for March, of 41.5 inches as against an average of 13 inches. He reports that just now there is melting weather which brings out the accumulated debris and dirt of the past winter. The potholes are as bad as those of our day. Someone reported that in Vermont there is so large a pothole that small cars are detoured to other roads because they would be unable to get out if once they fell in.

There have been many lectures at the College varying from the heavy talks of the Great Issues platform to the very light entertainment of the Band's variety night show, known as the Playboy Playbill. You will doubtless find a report of this in an early copy of Life or of the magazine Playboy.

Two of Dartmouth's distinguished and beloved teachers passed on, John Moffat Mecklin on March 10 and William K. Wright on March 29.

If any of you would like to read the Bulletin, drop me a line and I shall be glad to send my copy to you, provided you will send it on to some classmate when you have finished with it. The ALUMNI MAGAZINE is good but the Bulletin seems to bring one into closer touch with the College.

A letter came from Percy Dorr a few days ago in which he enclosed a picture of FrankDrake, taken from the Gulf Oil Magazine. This depicts Frank as he presents two volumes of the Cape of Good Hope stamps on their original covers to the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. Percy says that he is feeling fine and looking forward to the 55th Reunion. He says he hopes that enough of us can keep well to get together once more at least.

I was pleased and amused a couple of weeks ago to have a letter from Art Ruggles' secretary telling me of the honors that have come recently to Dr. James Huntington. She adds to her letter the following information, "An added bit of recognition came to Doctor Ruggles last evening, when the Emma Pendleton Bradley Home, the nation's first hospitalhome for children with nervous disorders and one of the unique institutions in the world, celebrated its 25th anniversary. Doctor Ruggles was the hospital's first superintendent and also headed the Board of Trustees for many years."

Miss Perkins closes with this statement, "So here is evidence that two of your classmates are still going strong."
