CLASS OF 1903

On Saturday, June 20, the advance guard of the men of 1903 arrived at Hanover to open the festivities marking the fifth milestone from undergraduate days. By Thursday the 25th, one short of fifty of our men made the pilgrimage back to the College, and one of the most loyal, dignified, and enthusiastic reunions ever held at Dartmouth passed into the college tradition's. Visitors seemed to have difficulty in determining whether the events of the week were being held in honor of 1903 or 1908, for 1903 held the stage from the rising of the curtain to the falling thereof, and the good folk about Hanover marveled at the kinetic as well as the potential energy displayed by 1903.

Baseball history is laden with momentous problems, but none greater exists than who was the victor in the contest held at the Vale of Tempe between the married men and the single men of the class.

"Dog" Gushing, president, playing manager, and captain of the single men's team, claims a win. Kenerson and his band of martial pioneers requested that they be allowed to win, that the faith in their prowess held by their wives might not be shattered, but Cushing thought this illogical and beyond human reasoning, and not being in position to get the view point remained adamantine. The spectator element of the class begged to be allowed neutral that the friendships in both factions be retained.

The class dinner was held Monday evening in the private dining-room at the Commons, and no class or contingent that had the remotest reason for receiving one failed to receive a cheer. Incidentally, at that same dinner, eighteen 1903 men pledged six hundred five dollars to the proposed new gymnasium soon to be erected. A. E. Hanlon of Danvers, Mass., is chairman of the soliciting committee, and will gladly accept your check for any amount. Don't wait to get his dun, but send him your pledge or check now—the class of 1903 wants the "Gym" as eagerly as do the undergraduates.

On Wednesday morning a class meeting was held, at which Frank W. Wentworth was re-elected president, and Jeremiah F. Mahoney was re-elected secretary. A special reunion in 1910 was voted, and other routine business transacted.
