68 TECH REVIEW CLASS PROPHECY Era»'!’ WAS in the year 1936, during i r4 my trip abroad, that a copy of - J t u‘ American Daily fell into my jp|gY hands. I was in Berlin and —«SI hardly felt like leaving the city without visiting L. (i. Flick, who was now a wealthy chemist with an extensive labora- tory there. Mr. Flick was not in, however, when 1 called, but was expected soon, and while waiting for him in the outer office 1 picked up the paper. News from one’s native land is always cherished by the traveler, and I scanned the pages eagerly. Large headlines concerning national politics attracted my eye first and I read of the success of Senator Cross of Barrington in bringing about the dissolution of the Fish Trust, which had been flourishing under Gorton, who was now head of the Gorton Dried Codfish Company. Other Washington items announced that the new president had named for secretary of war Gen. R. E. Harrington, whose fame had been established ever since he had introduced peace and order into Mexico, and that Lloyd W. Davis, mayor of Lime Rock, R. I., had visited the capitol on Wednesday last and had shaken hands with the president. The news of these who had attained such promi- nence increased my interest, and as I read further I found the paper to In- literally full of accounts of the successes which had at- tended the members of the illustrious Class of 1914 of Technical. Nearly two columns were devoted to a meeting of the Electricians of America, of which Chester Medbery was president. At this meeting H. T. Hargraves delivered his well-known lecture, How Became the Greatest Electrician in t In- World. and E. T. Cox, who had become very rich through his invention of a self-pro- pelled lawn mower, spoke on Work, an Ancient Phenomenon. A column told of a brilliant concert successfully given in New York by the accomplished pianist, Ruth E. Trickett, assisted by Ruth H. Dane, the charming vocalist. I turned to the editorial page, but only to find that Kenneth L. Burden was the editor of the paper and that the circulation manager was none other than George C. Hull. On this page was an inter- esting editorial on the much discussed ques- tion as to whether L. Godat, the celebrated French musician, or R. E. Hay was the greater violinist. Among the social events was an account of a tea given by Mrs. H. A. Macrae in honor or M iss M. E. Middleton and Miss Sarah Coyne, who had just been elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Ameri- can Society of Women’s Rights. Here was also a write-up of a visitors’ night held by the New 'f ork Sportsmen’s Club. Rice, who officiated, announced a very interesting pro- gram, which included cornet solos by Charles f ort, now the leader of a famous band, a short talk on Coins and Their Uses by Par- sons, the wealthy banker, and selections by a large chorus conducted by Farwell, who was now in charge of the music in one of the largest churches in New York. Ladd and Fitzmaurice, the proprietors of the “Greatest Show on Earth,” were the guests of honor and spoke briefly on how to start a circus. C )n the sporting page I found the pictures of Goldstein and Hennessey, who were now playing with marvelous success in the Fed- eral League, which Bill Ghodey was man- aging. On the opposite page were some book reviews, among which I found a report of Erickson’s volume, The Use and Abuse of a Mandolin, one on Malenfant’s masterly treatise on Mechanical Drawing Made Easy. and a glowing account of Cherry’s latest novel. The Iron Steed. At the end of these reviews was a little advertisement which read “Meyer and Mathewson, Books Bought and Sold.” Nearby was another, which said that V. H. Mariani and E. J. Drew had formed a corporation in Boston to place Dr. Chand- ler’s Cure for That Tired Feeling before the public. The advertisements, by tin way, were worthy of special mention, as they brought to mind many of my old classmates. Kromson and Bromson advertised money to loan, Winkler offered his services as a detective, Arnold was an optician whose specialty was monocles, and Cooke was desirous of acting
