Morgan King I had a very pleasant and interesting call a few days ago from Morgan King and his fine 16 year old daughter, Mary, from Brookline, Mass. Mr. King was a Rollins student in 1889. He and his brother were here in 1890; and Morgan was here again, with a sister, in 1894-95. His business is the manufacture of ma- chinery for cutting wood-moulding and he has made it very successful. He reads everything about Rollins that he can get hold of. He and Mary were on a three-weeks' vacation trip, mixing business with pleasure. Bessie D.
