After our business meeting the secretary was asked to find Judge David Cross '41, who is an honorary member of the class of '80, and escort him to the dining hall. Also at that time we invited Mrs. Cross and the wives of the members of the class, who were present, to come to the dining hall and listen to Judge Cross and to see the members of the class who were present. After appropriate and felicitous remarks, Judge Cross pleaded fatigue due to the labors of the day, and retired, accompanied by the ladies, to whom had been presented all the flowers on our tables. Those present enjoyed this reunion exceedingly.

The class unanimously hopes that another year the way may be open to confer a degree upon a member of the class who is the author of several books on religious subjects.

Congressman Foster sent his regrets, pleading to be excused because his Congressional convention was held at Burlington, Vt., on the 29th of June, which was the next day.

Quite a number were present who were unable to attend the twenty-fifth reunion. Several who attended the . twenty-fifth reunion were unable to be at the thirtieth.

Our in memoriam list since the twenty-fifth reunion is as follows: William E. Barrett, Mart A. Beal, Andros P. Chesley, George H. Danforth, Clarence W. Spring.

Remarks were offered by different members of the class in memory of our departed classmates.

At the request of the president of the class, each classmate present responded to his name.

The class understood that it was desired that the class elect someone to represent us at the alumni dinner. Edwin F. Jones was elected as speaker for that occasion. We were told after the dinner that two of the speakers occupied a time so unexpectedly long, that the class of '80 was regretfully omitted, in order that the members of the alumni might have time to take the special train for home.

The class of '80 occupied North Fayerweather Hall as their headquarters. As the members of the class are still strong of limb and rugged in health, the long distance from the center of interest around the Inn and the Commons did not seriously interfere with their pleasure. Possibly the condition of the rooms was somewhat unfortunate for the comfort of the ladies in the hall. The management of the Inn deserves a compliment for the dinner provided.

Secretary, Dana M. Dustan, 340 Main St., Worcester, Mass.
