1890

Seventy years ago the Class of 1890 graduated from Dartmouth College, and your Secretary thought it would be appropriate to have a reunion of the five living members. Therefore he canvassed his classmates with the following result.

Dr. Perry Sanford Boynton, Class President, of New York City has been ill and bed-ridden for over a year. A letter from Prof. Frederick O. Grover, Oberlin, Ohio, said that he was in favor of a reunion but Mrs. Grover was ill and he didn't dare to try to make the trip to Hanover alone.

Walter W. Rowe has been living with his son in New Bedford, Mass., for several years. I wrote him and received no reply. I telephoned the son and the telephone operator informed me that the telephone had been temporarily disconnected. I telephoned Rowe's brother in Warner, N. H., and was told by his nurse that he was ill and could not talk on the telephone. I persisted however and through a friend in New Bedford, I ascertained that Rowe's son had closed the house, and taken his family to New Mexico, and had placed his father in a sanitarium, whereabouts unknown. That left Prof. John H. Gerould of Hanover, N. H. I wrote and asked him if he would meet me at the Inn June 10 for a Class picture and a lunch, and I received a short note saying that he could not meet me at the Inn at any time. He did not say, but I will assume that he is too ill to take a taxi from Occom Ridge to the Inn. So ends your Secretary's attempt to reune.

Secretary, and Class Agent, South Acton, Mass.
