Hovey was marked man in college

Hovey was graduate Of the Washington
ID. c., public schools. His mother was
widow. He was particularly proficient
in ancient languages, besides making a
name for himself in the English classics
He was an editor CT college publications
from his freshman year, and when seni II
it was said of him that he wrote nearly
everything in many of the issues OF the
publication to which he was attached
from the poetry to the alumni notes.
In Greek Hovey's marks were higher
than almost any ones from the time OF
Daniel Webster. Hovey had remarkable
memory, and one OF his feats in this regard
is matter OF record at Dartmouth.
The professor said one day that he wished
the students would commit few lines Of
the classic they were reading and at the
next recit at ion come prepared to repeat
them. He said they might come prepared
to give no. less han Ave lines. and added
wit h smuc, that they might give as many
more as they liked.

to translate, and when you come to memorize
it in the original form the task becomes

class assembled the next af ernoon the men
were called on one after another to recite
the verses they had learned.
The first half dozen struggled through

a man gave ten lines and was roundly ap-
plauded. Presently fifteen lines were given.
After the man who gave the fifteen lines
sat down the professor called on Hovey.
