The Alumni Dinner was in the main the usual occasion. In the absence of Judge Horace Russell '65, the president of the Alumni Association, the dinner was turned over by President Nichols to Samuel H. Hudson '85, the first vicepresident of the association. Speeches were made by President Nichols, Governor Quinby, Professor Nichols of Cornell, and representatives of the various reunion classes. During the program the presiding officer said that Mr. Philip S. Marden had an announcement to make in behalf of the class of 1894. Mr. Marden then arose and presented to the College the beautiful silver trophy cup for the class having the best attendance at its Commencement reunion, the cup to be awarded annually. In presenting the cup the following letter was read, expressing the purpose and method which the class had in mind:

BOSTON, MASS., June 15, 1910

To THE PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE,

Hanover, New Hampshire.

GENTLEMEN :

The class of '94 present this cup to the College in the hope that it will stimulate such friendly rivalry between the several classes holding reunions at a given Commencement as shall increase the total alumni attendance at this greatest college event.

In behalf of the class the following suggestions are offered regarding the care and use of the cup:

First. That an annual award of the cup be made to the class which shall have present at any time during Commencement Week the largest proportion of its living graduates.

Second. That the cup be awarded at the annual Commencement Dinner of the alumni, the presentation to be made by the President of the College or by the President of the Alumni Association.

Third. That the President of the College designate a custodian who shall have charge of the awarding of the cup each year, and shall keep it in a suitable place for public inspection.

Fourth. That on . the morning of Commencement Day each class of alumni be asked to file with the custodian of the cup a signed statement of its number of living members and the name of each man who has been present at some time during Commencement, beginning with Baccalaureate Sunday, and that the award be made based upon these statements. In case of dispute the final decision to be made by a committee of three to be appointed by the President of the Alumni Association.

CLASS, OF '94

The cup was awarded for the year 1910-1911 to the class of 1900, which had present at its ten-year reunion seventy-six graduates out of a possible 115 graduates living, sixty-six per cent. Eight non-graduates of the class likewise were in attendance.

The last event of the Commencement program was the Senior Ball, in charge of the class. This was attractive and successful, and gave pleasure to the large assemblage of guests.
