OBERLIN ASSOCiATION OF PHILADELPHIA
The second annual meeting of the Oberlin Association of Philadelphia, Pa., was held March 30, 1916, at the Hotel Walton.
In the absence of the Rev. O. S. Kriebel, President of the Association, the Rev. H. K. Heebner presided.
The Association was fortunate in having as its guest Mr. W. F. Bohn, who spoke on "The New Oberlin." He pointed out the fact that this has been a significant year, not only on account of the generous gifts Oberlin has received, but also on account of the great loss Oberlin has sustained in the passing away of six of its trustees.
Mr. W. W. Woodruff paid tribute to the memory of his father-in-law, Mr. Norton Phinney.
Dr. R. S. Dorsett also responded to a toast. Miss Lily Le Grande Love played two violin solos. Dr. Clarence Bradley and Mrs. E. S. Evans sang solos.
The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, W. W. Woodruff; Vice-President, Dr. Clarence Bradley; Secretary, Mrs. E. S. Evans; Treasurer, H. J. Behr.
Those present were: Mrs. Amy Schultz Witham, Miss Mildred Witham, Mrs. Lida Seymour Fiske, Dr. and Mrs. Rae Shepard Dorsett, Dr. and Mrs. Clarence D. Bradley, Miss Alta Grace Ellis, Miss Margaret Dale, Miss Myra O. Godfrey, Mr. John S. Anderegg, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Behr, Miss Lily Le Grande Love, Mrs. Eva Stokey Evans, Miss Audrey M. Hayden, Mr. W.

1.
Meanwhile, Alma and Fred attended a gathering in Boston a few days later:
2.
The Association was fortunate in having as its guest Mr. W. F. Bohn, who spoke on "The New Oberlin."
Mr. Bohn also spoke at the Boston gathering, so I guess he was making the rounds. He seems to have been a recent graduate.
3.
He pointed out the fact that this has been a significant year, not only on account of the generous gifts Oberlin has received, but also on account of the great loss Oberlin has sustained in the passing away of six of its trustees.
The Oberlin website says that says that the College and Conservatory currently have 29-37 trustees. I don't know how many they had in 1916.
4.
Miss Lily Le Grande Love played two violin solos.
Lily was Alma's friend Lil from Canton. She and three others have a Non-family page on this website for Mabel, Lil, Steenie, and Orestes.
5.
Secretary, Mrs. E. S. Evans
I didn't expect that.
