Rt. Rev. Benjamin M. Washburn passed away on October 16 at his home in Ridgefield, Conn. For further information see In Memoriam in this or a subsequent issue. I wish to thank Bob Stokes and Ned Redman '06 for sending me the newspaper clippings.
On Friday night before the Harvard game Bob Lyons telephoned your secretary to meet him at the Stadium, section 6. I did just that and we enjoyed the game. The weather was perfect and some 42,000 people were present. Jessie Kitching, daughter of our classmate, Albert Kitching, sat along side of us. It was 63 years ago that members of our class saw Dartmouth play Harvard and dedicate the new stadium by winning 11 to 0. That was also a wonderful team which brings back memories of those good old days of 1903, '04, '05, '06, and '07.
How about sending me some news about you and your family?
