The family dinner was held on Monday night, at which John Kivel was toastmaster, and the regular class dinner was held Tuesday night and G. H. Bridgman was the toastmaster.

Gardiner made a set of "8x10" pictures, in three groups, of the members who were present, on the steps of New Dartmouth Hall. Sayres, at the request of the executive committee, offered the invocation at the alumni dinner. The reunion had none of the effect of a stiff, formal affair. It was just a family gathering and the spirit was that which characterizes a jolly house party. We all felt that it was good to be there. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and wished we could meet more often.
