1911

The coming events in which the class may be interested are the football dates this fall. There are the four home games and the Harvard game on Oct. 25, preceding which there will be the annual class dinner at the University Club, Friday evening. Bee and Nat Burleigh will be at home following each of the Hanover games and will enjoy welcoming all classmates and wives and friends who may care to drop in. Every game finds some 1911ers in town but the greatest number usually pick the last game. This year with the Penn. game coming at the height of the fall foliage season, it may be the most popular choice. Why not plan on that and gather at 1 Webster Terrace afterward?

Notice was received during the summer of the deaths of four one-year members of the class, all but one of whom attended other colleges which became their alma mater.

Alfred W. Robertson, whose death came on Jan. 19, 1958, got his A.B. degree from Occidental College in 1912, followed by a law degree from Leland Stanford.

He was a member of the State Assembly from 1934 to 1946, where he was minority floor leader for many years and State Chairman of the Democratic party from 1942 to 1946. Following his death both the Assembly and Senate passed concurrent resolutions honoring his long and valuable public service.
