1901

The Washington Alumni celebrated Dartmouth Night at the Hotel Burlington. There was a large attendance, good dinner, and interesting talks featuring athletics with Coach Lampe and Don Burnham '44 the principal speakers. Your secretary found himself to be the third oldest alumnus present, being antedated only by Henry Blair '89 and Billy Wallis '94. We were closely followed, however, by Stan Cobb '03, Bill Roby '04, and Art Farrington. Norm Russell and Bill Wood, all 1906 men.

The mystery picture appearing in the October issue was one taken of Gus Hartigan in the spring of 1900, while he was at the World's Fair in Paris. Many replies were received, most of them correct, but "Hoppy" was the first one to come across with the correct answer. Several 1902 men wrote in, and they were all appreciative of the kindness showed them by Gus while at the Exposition, particularly after their experience serving as chambermaids on a cattle steamer sailing out of Portland, Maine.

October seems to be a month for 1901 men and their wives to travel back to Hanover and spend the weekends at the Inn, enjoying all that Hanover offers in that delightful month. Among them we note the Coxs, Taylors, Hoods and McGoverns.

Speaking of Tom McGovern reminds us of the day early in the fall of 1898, when a piano, supposedly to be delivered to ClarenceMooney '02, was left at the outside door of Hallgarten. It was soon spotted by the '01 men living in that dormitory, and at once a group of husky sophomores carried the piano up three flights of stairs, into the little room on the fourth floor under the eaves occupied by Tom McGovern, and there the piano remained. Whenever Mooney wished to play his piano he had to come into Tom's room. Well do we remember the song fests held in that little room, with the rich voices of Charlie Boyle and Lally of the Medical School leading the singing.

Tommie and Inez Remsen were at the Penn Game and had the pleasure of seeing TedHancock, Henry Taylor and Gene Leach Don Page says he is living the life of contented retirement, with plenty of exercise if he wants to, on the old farm in Danielson, Conn., which has been in Mrs. Page's family since 1818

Bill Cheever is as active as ever, feels fine and is enjoying his work in Providence The Ruggs report a grand trip through the Big Smokies, along the Sky Line Drive, down into Kentucky, and back through the Cumberland Mts.
