1900

Bob Jackson made it as he much desired do He and his two daughters were at he Yale game played in Hanover, October 11 He of course, was much thrilled by Dartmouth winning the game by a hair's breadth, so to speak. In a recent letter to me he spoke of Dartmouth's football heroes most of whom he had seen in action. He writes "In 1891 the football field was 110 yards long. In 1906 when the rules were revised at the urging of President Theodore Roosevelt and under the supervision of Dartmouth's E. K. Hall as chairman of the Rules Committee, the length of the field was reduced to 100 yards. This is in part a story of many changes that have taken place in the game of football over the years."

I regret to report the death of H. Le Baron Sampson at his home in Cam- bridge, Mass., November 3. A well attended Memorial Service was held at the First Congregational Church in Cambridge. Harry was a most able member of our class, learned in the law and an active participant in social activities in the Boston area.

Of the 264 eager, active, forward-looking young men who matriculated at Dartmouth College in the Fall of 1896 and formed the class of 1900, only three remain and each of these is quite beyond the octogenarian goal of four score years and ten.

I also regret to report the passing of Alice Rankin, widow of Walter P. Rankin, November 3 at a nursing home in Massachusetts following an operation.
