1914
You may be familiar with the words "Spring comes early up this way" but it doesn't here, and many wonder if it ever will. I'm not among them, however, for I know, as doubtless you do, that spring is drawing nearer your home and mine at the rate of 15 miles a day as the lengthening minutes of daylight trigger the rebirth of life in every leaf, bud, and flower along the way northward. Can its coming do less for us?
I'm still waiting to hear from members of the Charles River Dartmouth Club whose episodes of these romantic days must surely be worth telling.
All power to the Dartmouth Alumni Associa- tion of Boston whose enterprise offers us another historic Dartmouth trip this year to "London in the Spring."
All of which must remind us to plan now for our own historic trip to Hanover for our 60th Reunion in 1974. Herb Austin, as our reunion chairman, can give you road maps and full instructions, or you can practice what to do next year by accepting the invitation of the College to all classes out over 50 years to make a special visit this year, Monday and Wednesday, June 11 to 13.
We hear too little from or of the wives of our classmates but here are notes of special interest: the one is of the marriage last December of Margaret B. LeCount, widow of Walter, to his younger brother Howard. Their address is 8 Dale Terrace in Sandwich, Mass. 02563.
There is also a cordial note from Constance Pooler expressing her thanks to all in 1914 for the memorial book given to the College Library in Frannie's name.
A similar note came to Vogie Stiles from Jeanette Batchelder thanking the Class for the book given in Charlie's name, this in a memorial which he himself established some years ago.
Greatly appreciated also is the letter from Mrs. Barbara Jones, daughter of Bert Symonds, written in appreciation of the book given in her father's name in which she tells of his love for the College and what it meant to her to grow up in a Dartmouth family.
From the Alumni Records Office came word of the death on February 7 of Eleanor J. Wilson of Newtown, N.D., wife of Dr. Paul F. Wilson whose death occurred in 1945. The Wilsons had lived in Wellesley, Mass., for many years, with a summer home in Bethel, Vt., where, by her wish, Mrs. Wilson will be interred in spring. She leaves a son Dr. Herbert J. Wilson of Newtown, six grandchildren, and one great-grandson.
