1904

A note from Mrs. Ralph E. Sexton advises that Ralph is about the same and wishes to be remembered to his friends of '04.

Mrs. Thomas V. Uniac reports that she is well and is awaiting warm weather, so she can get out to her yard and flowers.

Arthur S. Bolster writes that his son, Arthur S. Bolster Jr. '43, is an assistant professor of Education at Harvard University's Graduate School and that he has been called to Washington, D. C., frequently as a consultant.

Matt Bullock writes, "The Class should know that I am preparing to sell my property in Boston and move to Philadelphia where I will live with my son and his family. My son, who is now second deputy in the City Solicitor's office, has long wanted me to live with him and I have reached the time when I think he's right." Matt who was injured in the Princeton game in the fall of 'O3 adds, "By the way I saw the last Princeton game and the licking we gave them. Since they had two negroes on their team, I now forgive them for what they did to me."

On Washington's Birthday, in Providence, R. I., "A Service of Thanksgiving and Prayer for the Life of Our Nation" was held in Grace Church. The speaker was announced in the printed program as Colonel Ruth Cheney Streeter, U.S.M.C.R. (Retired), Former Director of the Marine Corps Women's Reserve. The men and women of 1904, who all know Ruth Streeter, do not need to be told that her address was eloquent, dignified, and as suited the occasion, properly flavored with staunch patriotism.

Earlier announcements of the meeting, a non-denominational patriotic service, was planned by the Colonial Dames in Rhode Island to honor the American soldiers in Viet Nam. Numerous other patriotic socities participated. Attending the service also and presenting their flags and colors in an impressive ceremony were five chartered commands. The names and dates of the charters of these commands, extending back to pre-Revolutionary days are suggestive of the wealth of Rhode Island's history; Newport Artillery, 1741; Bristol Train of Artillery, 1776; Kentish Guards, 1774; Cranston Blues, 1790; and the Varnum Continentals. It was inspiring to observe that so many people, in addition to those representing the participating societies, turned out on a holiday morning to declare in effect with Stephen Decatur, "Our Country, right or wrong." Present from the class of 1904 were Marion Woods, Ann Manning, and the Robinsons.
