CLASS OF 1861

The "Boys of '61" will meet for their semicentennial reunion during Commencement in June. Headquarters will be in Richardson Hall. The echoes of the guns fired on Fort Sumter had hardly died away, when sixty-five young men left their Aiwa Mater, the week after the disastrous battle of Bull Run, to meet unusual duties and responsibilities.

There were fifty-eight graduates from the academical department and eight from the Chandler Scientific School. Of these, including four members of the class who were in College for some time but did not graduate, twenty-four were in the Union Army, fifteen of them having been commissioned officers. Three died in the army, and one who was in the Sanitary Commission. The following were living at a recent date, of whom thirteen have indicated a purpose to be present at the reunion, with a prospect of others:

George A. Bruce, lawyer, retired, Brookline, Mass.

The large majority of the class have never been distinguished as national characters, but in their several stations in life all have acquitted themselves honorably, and their AlmaMater has no reason to be ashamed of the class of 1861. The members have a just and laudable pride in the fact that one of their number was for so many years president of the College, and that he contributed so much to place Dartmouth at the head of its class - as a typical college.
