While at Lake View a New England Branch of the Class of ’86 was
organized, with the following officers: President, Rev. B. T. Snow,
Biddeford, Me.; vice-presidents, Rev. W. H. Clark, South Norridgewock,
Me., Edwin F. Reeves, Laconia, N. H., Rev. J. H. Babbitt, Swanton, Vt.,
Charles Wainwright, Lawrence, Mass., Miss Lousia E. French, Newport, R.
I., Rev. A. Gardner, Buckingham, Ct.; secretary and treasurer, Mary R.
Hinckley, Bedford, Mass. The above officers were authorized to act also
as an executive board.
The badge of Class of ’86 can be obtained of the President. It has
been decided to use in private correspondence a certain style of
letter paper marked with “C. L. S. C. ’86” in a neat monogram. Further
particulars in regard to this paper will soon be given.
Just before leaving Chautauqua the Class of ’86 adopted a motto: “We
study for light, to bless with light.” The New England branch adopts
this motto, in addition to the one chosen at Lake View: “Let us keep
our Heavenly Father in the midst.”
