1889

Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Taylor of Andover, Mass., spent last summer in Peterborough, N. H., on Big Boulder Farm, which they recently purchased to be used as their permanent home upon Mr. Taylor's retirement as an instructor in Phillips Andover Academy. They have adopted the boy they took with them to England two years or more ago and put in school there. He was with them in Peterborough and now has returned to St. Paul's School for his final year there.

Mrs. Nathaniel K. Noyes having sold the house at 17 Brewster St., Plymouth, Mass., she has occupied since her husband's death, is now living at 122 Water St., Plymouth, not far from her old home.

The July 1958 issue of Vermont History, published by the Vermont Historical Society, has a 20 page article, by Carl L. Lokke, on '89's distinguished member, the late Charles Downer Hazen. His photograph, serving as a frontispiece, shows him as he appeared in the late 1920's. The article is a biographical sketch of a scholar, through whose eyes thousands of American students viewed the history of modern Europe. His active teaching career of more than forty years between Smith College and Columbia University was about equally divided.

Charles Downer Hazen, a son of Lucius Downer Hazen, a lumber dealer, who married in 1861 Orinda Griswold Kimball of McIndoes, Vt., was born in Barnet, Vt., March 17, 1868, and died in New York City September 12, 1941. His family in America is traced back to Edward Hazen, who came from England and settled in Massachusetts in the seventeeth century. His family was comfortably situated and his two sisters were graduates of Wellesley College. His grandfather and father were prominent in business and church and both represented their communities at various times in the Vermont Legislature.

The article gives a detailed account of the brilliant career of this prominent member of the Class of '89, and in no more appropriate place could it have been printed than in the publication of the Vermont Historical Society, of which he was an Honorary Member.

The Reverend John L. Clark '88 of Exeter, N. H., with his daughter, attended the 70th anniversary of his graduation last June. Mr. Clark, the sole survivor of his class, was 92 on October first and is presently the fifth oldest alumnus of the College.
