CLASS OF 1888
The class of 1888 will long regard its twenty-year reunion as a golden milestone. Already preparations are being made to bring every member back to the twenty-fifth anniversary.
Everything was completely informal. Those who came with their families Saturday and camped all Sunday afternoon on Crosby House porch will say that this quiet day of reminiscence was the best of all. When the evening of the class dinner arrived, on Tuesday, thirty-two men, fifteen wives, and eleven children lined up against the Tuck Building to be photographed. The son of one classmate, French, is now a junior in College; another, the son of Whittemore, who was married before he entered, is already a graduate.
The week had two athletic events in which '88 was interested, a game with '98, in which the older class was defeated, and the alumni vs varsity game, in which Cobb '88, who had come clear from Nevada, pitched, and Keay '88 umpired.
At the class dinner $500 was pledged, as a special anniversary gift to the new gymnasium fund, and more will be added by absentees.
On Commencement Day two gratifying events occurred, in the awarding of a D.D. to Hall, and of an A.B. "as of 1888" to Pearson, a non-graduate.
The reunion has been signalized by a commemorative class report, in which as a unique feature is a tabulated statement showing at a glance the entire vital statistics of each classmate—a class Family Bible.
