1901

Your Secretary sent cards requesting news to ten men and twenty widows. Daisy, widow of Judge Daniel P. Trade, gets the prize for being the first to answer. She is interested in civic affairs, church work, music, and charities. Her greatest hobby is her two lovely daughters - Virginia (Mrs. H. L. Wessel) of Glenora, Ill., and Jayne Trude Olmsted (a war widow) who lives with her, she is sure no mother and daughter have more fun living together. The two daughters gave her a lovely party at the Woman's Athletic Club in Chicago, March 31, on her 85th birthday and a pearl and diamond bracelet. Also at the party were Virginia's daughter, Shelley Cabell, and her two little girls. Daisy writes she kept in touch with Richard Ward for many years, "sent my donation to him for the 1901 Fund and used to get such nice letters from him. I make out my tax return each year, love my business, desk work, life and people."

A clipping from Johnnie Ward brings sad news. In Searsport, Me., Mrs. Hope, widow of Dr. Edward S. Calderwood, age 82, mother of Dr. George Calderwood of San Francisco, Calif., and Samuel H. Calderwood of Bangor, Me., died Monday. Interment at Searsport. The sympathy of the Class is extended to each of the two sons.

My card to Inez brought a reply from Thomas C. Remsen, son of Thomas R.Remsen, that his stepmother, Inez Mason Remsen died February 24, 1962. The sympathy of the Class goes out to her family.

' From Leila, widow of Warren F. Rugg, Bridgehampton (L. I.), N. Y., "Thanks for the little book of addresses. With Warren and son Addison both gone there seems little point in living but I try to carry on to suit my age. I am doing well (caring) for my big home and a roomer. My outside interests are the church, the Library Committee, the Historical Society and the Southampton Study Club. This is not a Dartmouth country so I am especially pleased to have the ALUMNI MAGAZINE every month. I did not go to the last reunion as I had no one to go with and it is a long trip to go alone."

Mary and Chan Cox planned to drive to Pinehurst, N. C., the last of March, the time of good weather, dogwood, lilacs, and azaleas; then when they return north they have another spring. They report having a pretty good time at home in Boston during the winter which includes playing bridge. Chan tries to walk two miles each day; he writes that as our ranks get thinner we ought to draw closer together. We all subscribe to that, Chan.

Now catching up with Johnnie Ward. He spent Christmas with the family of his daughter, Mrs. Dudley W. Orr, in Concord, N. H., and son Harry in Manchester. The day after Christmas young Harry's wife Prudence drove our classmate Harry up to Hanover and they stopped to see him at Concord. He was glad to see Gillie looking exceptionally well, in fact he looked to him as he did when he first saw him in the fall of '97.

I have just received a wire from JohnnieWard giving us the sad news of the death of Jim Kimball on May 1. The sympathy of the class is extended to Bea; an In Memoriam will appear in a later issue of the MAGAZINE.

This June issue completes the year for the 1901 news in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Your Secretary wishes each one of the girls and the men in the Class a pleasant and relaxing summer.
