Meader, Tenney, and Small sat down to dinner together at the University Club, Providence, R. I , on Saturday, September 15. It was the first time since June, 1878, that the three had been together. There were no idle moments in the five hours spent together.

The secretary sees '78 men whenever he is in their vicinity. Within two years he has seen Hubbell in Milwaukee, Hoyt in Chicago, Harlow in Pittsburgh, Andrews in New York, and others. In each case interesting items have been furnished, but the secretary cannot see many of the class and can furnish but a small per cent of what the class would like to know of the individual members.

If each man will send in any items about himself or about any classmate whom he meets or knows of, these records can be made full and complete. In no other way is that possible. This is an appeal.

Secretary, Walter H. Small, Adelphi Ave., Providence
