M525 ca., The ,falurnnt -aufx NE of the men who has done most toward perfecting and making practicable the electric telephone is Hon. Gardiner Greene Hubbard, the President of the Alumni Association in Wasliiiigtoii, D. C. Witli almost prophetic vision he fore- saw what a wonderfully useful thing the telephone might be if it once had a chance to be developed, and with this in view he lent himself and his money to the work. It is largely due to him that this wonderful invention has become so much a necessity in the present times of business rush. Mr. Hubbard is a native of Boston, and was born , in 1822. He was graduated from Dartmouth in 1841, studied law, and became partner if of Benjamin R. Curtis. He founded the first school established in this country for 'ii iii I i f teaching the deaf to speak. He has held several high positions in state and country. HON'GARD'NER GREENE HUBBARD' Mr. Hubbard is a man of broad and liberal views, clear, far-seeing judgment, remarkable administrative ability, and is possessed of a spirit of determination that never yields to obstacles. In truth, the Washington Alumni Association may feel proud of its president. I6 nr

The Qilfyelrinzitl Flggoelatlong Y. is X i-55:,4 l-IIS Dartmouth Alumni Association of Cincinnati and vicinity, was organized in 1875, being the first of the Dartmouth Associations i11 the West, antedated only by those in Boston fllld New York. The purposes of the organization were the bringing together, in a social and fraternal way, the sons of Old Dartmouth, scattered through the States of Ghio, Indiana, Kentucky and 'West Virginia, and the aiding in the development and building up of the College. Those who have had the pleasure of attend- ing any of the annual re-unions will not doubt that it has accomplished the first of the above purposes, while the influence of the members has been felt in many ways with refer- ence to all the various measures for promoting the welfare of the College, that have been brought forward in the last twenty years. XVhile the attendance at the re-unions has necessarily been small, Conly enough to comfortably to fill a locally famous round tablenj the witty and reminiscent speeches, with College stories and songs, have for the time being rejuvenated the busy men and made them College boys again, enthusiastic for the future as they are proud of the past of Alma Mater. Some years ago the custom was established of selecting as president of the association that member who was senior in date of graduation and had not held the position before, and to continue him in office two years, and as the honor thus comes by age the recipient realizes the flight of time, and how long ago he was a Col- lege boy. In the other offices a change is rarely madeg and to the present secretary, Mr. Cf. B. Parkinson, of the Class of 1875, who has held the position since january, 1884, and to the Chairman of the Executive Com- mittee, Mr. Frank O. Loveland, of the Class of 1886, who has held that position for years, the credit is most largely due for the success of the Association and the pleasure of its meetings. John S. Conner, president of the Cincinnati Association, was a member of the class of '65, In 1866 he began the study of law with General Edward F. Noyes, '57, in Cincinnati. Mr. Conner is a graduate of the Cincinnati Law School, '68. Became first assistant city solicitor in 1869, which office he held for four years, when he entered private practice. Judge of Court of Common Pleas, of Hamilton County, Ohio, in 1881. Served for ive years, and returned to private practice. He has since been engaged in his profession. HON. JOHN s. CONNER. 15
