CLASS OF 1873

The class of 1873 held an enthusiastic reunion in celebration of the thirty-fifth anniversary of graduation. The Shurtleff House was the headquarters of the class, but as the beds there were minus pillows, some preferred to sleep elsewhere, the larger part going to the Noyes, while some put up at Reed Hall.

The supper was held in the card-room of College Hall, and twenty of the class set down to the banauet; viz., Adams, Bigelow, Bradley, I. R. Clark, Emery, Grout, Higgins, Hayes, Holton, Jarvis, E. H. Jones, Charles H. Jones, Herbert G. King, McCurdy, Merrick, Palmer, Phelps, C. J. Richardson, Saunderson, Stewart. Bradley acted as toastmaster. Telegrams were read from absent members. Major General Frederick C. Ainsworth, Adjutant General of the D. S. Army, sent a telegram expressing regrets that he could not be present. Three members of the class had been granted degrees; viz., Major General E. C. Ainsworth the degree of A. B. as of the class of 1873, Seymour Coman the degree of B.S. as of the class of 1873, and Charles H. Jones the honorary degree of A.M. Mr. Coman was not able to be present. Cigars were furnished by General George H. Adams, president of the Dartmouth Alumni Association and member of '73. With singing, stories of college life, and the telling of experiences of the years since then, the evening passed along quickly. Many letters were read from men too far away to be present, and from some whose health would not permit them to come.

It was resolved to begin preparations for the "big fortieth" in 1913.
