1911

At the time these notes are being prepared, the list of surviving members of the Class of 1911 has been reduced to 42. This represents the residue of a group of 395 potential scholars who matriculated in September of 1907. Geographically, these members are distributed over 14 States and Canada.

A most welcome note was received from Marian (Mrs. Warren C.) Agry. In it, she reaffirms her loyalty to Dartmouth and 1911 through the medium of the beginning of her romance with Warren some 63 years ago, her son-in-law Jim Darling '35, her son Warren Jr. '45, and a grandson in '76. Marian reports that she keeps busy with various civic and social activities in the area of her home in Rye, N.Y. She gets to visit Hanover occasionally, as the Darlings have retired to a new home in Thetford Hill, Vt.

John Coggins rates number one as a correspondent in the regularity of his news dispatches. patches.In recent messages he expresses regret at the absence of all 1911 attorneys from the New York City area to which he commutes every day. John claims that he is the last of 25 1911 barristers who elected to follow the profession made famous by Daniel Webster. He feels that he withstands the New Jersey winters better than George Washington did in an earlier day.

Since Charles Jordan and I reside in adjoining towns, it has afforded me the opportunity to visit him nearly every week for the past several years. We usually get together on Saturday afternoon and it would be impossible to recount the many pleasant hours of mutual enjoyment that this association has engendered. Charlie's gracious hospitality is legend and I feel highly privileged to have been a participant for so long a period. His activities have been considerably restricted by failing eyesight and lack of motive power in his legs. But Charlie's life has been singularly enriched by the acquisition of a "many splendored" housekeeper-companion, about two and a half years ago. Her vivacious personality, all around efficiency and inexhaustible energy have proved a winning combination. Under her capable aegis, Charlie's outlook on life has risen precipitously. Long may it endure!

As a final note, may I add a random thought: In view of the current complete ban on use of the Indian Symbol and the resultant changes in many established traditions, such as abolishing the X rated "Wah-Hoo-Wah," I wonder if the Dartmouth Dining Association and Hanover Inn make so bold as to include Indian Pudding on their respective menus - under its original designation.
