pursuing advanced courses. During the summer just past he travelled extensively over Southern Europe, visiting the mines there for the purpose of collecting data concerning the same.— G. M. Holbrook, W. A. Dorey, and W. A. Moulton are a strong trio in the works of the Illinois Steel Company.— James Batcheller is mine-working in Lead City, So. Dak.- Movement is now on foot toward securing a special meeting place for class members in and about Boston. Once a month at least, following examples of other classes, members could come together at the Technology Club, have dinner together, and spend a pleasant evening talking over the happenings of past and present. The club very kindly throws open its doors for this purpose, and urges the classes to make use of the privilege. Notices will be sent to members who can attend, notifying them of each date. The class reunion and dinner will be held soon, and it is hoped that in numbers and enthusiasm we shall break all records. Meanwhile why not let the men in other cities and States form local societies

When you hold them, write about them to the secretary, and room will be given them in the REVIEW. Remember that the fame and future of Technology rest with her alumni; and, to make themselves firm and united in their efforts to aid her, they must be firm and united among themselves. It becomes the sad duty of the secretary to announce the death of John Wallace Paget. Paget was with us only a year;

but in that short time those who knew him found in him a comrade and classmate whose memory will always be with us. He came to the Institute with the determination to make of himself all that was possible; and the life he led with life he led with us certainly showed that he was making a good start. He was always taking an active part in class proceedings and athletics. As captain of our football team, he displayed remarkable qualities as a leader of men. Early in the second year he was obliged to give up work on account of consumptive tendencies, but hoped that a trip West would strengthen him sufficiently to resume his studies the year fol

Disappointment was in store for him, however; after over two years of healthseeking in Denver, Col., he gave up hope, and came home to spend what remained of life to him with his folk. A few weeks ago came the sad news of his death at home on Tuesday, October 30.- Following quickly the announcement of Paget's death has come the sad news that the ranks of the graduates have been broken into, and death has taken from us Frank William Littlefield. Littlefield Littlefield

had been South since graduation, working with a large coal and coke company in Landgraf, W. Va. The first news of his illness came to his parents at Peabody, Mass., on December 5, stating that he had all the symptoms of motor paralysis, and needed the very best medical attendance. His mother hastened at once to him, and was with him only a few hours before he died. As far as can be learned at the time of writing, Littlefield was not subject to such attacks, but had been working very hard; and it is feared that unconsciously he went beyond his strength. It is a peculiarly sad incident. We who knew

him knew him as a most faithful student, a bright scholar, and a man whose friendship was highly valued. He was, perhaps, more quiet in manner and conversation than some of his fellows; but the determination, zeal, and enthusiasm which he displayed in bending all his energies to his life-work made him a marked man. As he was in school, so we found him in life. His work in Landgraf called upon him to work nights, yet he was active the larger part of the day. The remains were brought home to Peabody; and on Wednesday, December 12, his funeral occurred. His class and course were represented by Howard C. Plummer, Lewis Emery, 3d, and W. Leonard Stevens, who acted as bearers. Professor Robert H. Richards, of the mining department, was also present.
