S., Smith, R. W., Stevens, Sykes, VanderHoof, Ward, Warren, Whelan, Whitaker, Wood, Young, Carpenter, Eddy, Hazen, Pierce, Stoddard, and Salomon. The reunion committee, Smith, French, and Hunter, deserve great credit for. the management of so large and varied a reunion. Massachusetts Hall was reserved for the twenty-seven men who attended with their wives, while Sanborn Hall housed the single men and those whose families were not present. College Hall was the social center for the men of our class, as for all classes, and served to remind us in a most emphatic manner of the wonderful physical growth of the College since we were seniors. The committee was particularly successful in the 1901 costume. White trousers, green and white coats, green and white high hats, and neat canes made a combination rarely equaled in reunion costumes. In fact, a Harvard man of thirty years ago told the writer that in all his experience in academic functions he had never seen a costume which equaled ours. The class banquet was held Monday night, and was ' marked by an unusually high order of speaking. On Tuesday evening the class gathered in Dartmouth Hall to see many of the familiar faces of our day given by lantern slides. To many this was one of the pleasan'est features of 'the whole reunion. It was on this occasion "that President Nichols was formally received into our class as an honorary member. In our happy reunions with classmates absent for a decade, we did not fail to remember those who had passed out of this life to the life beyond, and in Rollins Chapel we listened in sadness as Rev. Robert F. Leavens spoke the fitting word in memory of George E. Robinson, Frederick L. Hill, Edward C. Wainwright, and Charles E. Brown.

The reunion over, the men of 1901 faced the world again with new courage, and a greater love for Dartmouth College.
