The class of '71 has enjoyed several successful reunions in its post-graduate history, but fraternal ties have never seemed so strong and cordial as at its thirty-fifth reunion held last June.
The class is widely scattered, from Maine to California, and from Minnesota to Florida, but twenty-one responded in person to the hearty and urgent summons of Adams, the class president, whose fore-thought and hospitality added materially to the joyousness of the occasion. A notable example of loyalty to College and class was Charles H. Ham of San Francisco, who made a flying trip across the continent and back, for the sake of spending barely two days amid the familiar scenes and with the "old familiar faces."
The whole crowd rallied Tuesday afternoon, when Adams transferred the beautiful new Dartmouth Hall to the Trustees, and again at the Commencement exercises in the College Church, when Upham received the degree of Sc.D.
At the class supper" Tuesday evening reports were given of all the absent ones so far as they could be obtained, and it- was voted to publish a class-book of biographies, to be prepared by Bisbee and Richardson.
Those fortunate enough to be -able to attend were: Adams, Bacheler, Beede, Bisbee, Burleigh, Dana, Dimick, Flint, Ham, Leach, Orcutt, Page, Parker, Richardson, Robinson, A. R. Savage, Smith, Stuart, Tebbetts, Upham, and Waters.
