Mr. and Mrs. Charles Alonzo Rich announce the marriage of their daughter, Margaret Bradbury, to Lieutenant William Hampden Sage, Jr., United States Army, at Bellport, L. I., May 21, 1910.
Eighteen men of the class of 1875 came back to Hanover on the thirty-fifth anniversary of our graduation, for what proved to be the happiest time we have had as a class since leaving college.
There were present: Adams, Aldrich, C.E. Carr, Cone, Eaton, Hazen, Hutchinson, Luce, Munroe, Myers, Parkinson, Powers, Prouty, Rice, Rich, Stevens, Sawyer and Towne, and half of this number were accompanied by their wives. Munroe (traffic manager of the Union Pacific Railroad) came all the way from Omaha, Myers (Judge of Supreme Court of Indiana) from Indianapolis, and Parkinson from Cincinnati to be with us.
The class occupied Richardson Hall, located near "Wentworth", and, in addition to sleeping accommodations, had a special room there for headquarters. Here we spent much time together, talking over our college days, telling stories and enjoying once more the old companionship.
The class dinner, served in one of the private dining rooms of College Hall, was a gathering which will not soon be forgotten by those present. There was no formal speaking, but after the ladies had left us the chairs were drawn closer together, and we spent happy hours in talk about the fun, trouble and work of college days, and something of what life had brought to us since. Telegrams and letters bearing greetings from absent classmates to the boys were read and greatly appreciated.
At the Alumni dinner on Commencement Day we sat together at a table as a class arid listened to the earnest and progressive talks by President Nichols and others. Our class president, Prouty, did us honor in a rattling good speech.
It was with great satisfaction that we saw how the College has enlarged and broadened in all directions since our time and the town become even more beautiful than of old, yet our hearts were with the Old. Dartmouth and the Hanover we knew.
It was voted to have the next reunion at Commencement time in 1915. As the years go by we shall have less opportunity to meet each other, so make up your mind now to be present then, and shape your plans according.
If you have not already forwarded a statement about yourself for the class report, please do so immediately.
Secretary, Henry W. Stevens, Concord, N. H.
