The reunion really began when the Dartmouth Special pulled out of the North Station at eleven o'clock Saturday morning. Six men and their wives had one end of a parlor car, and immediately began to renew the old bonds, or to form new ones with those who were going to make their debut at a reunion. Several more joined us that evening at Hanover and we had a delightful Sunday together, many voting it the best day of the reunion, as it gave an opportunity for quiet talks and walks which were lacking after the rush began on Monday.
The '92 brake was busy Monday and Tuesday, bringing the later arrivals up from the station. It landed in all twenty-seven men, eighteen wives, and eight children at the headquarters at College Hall. This made '92 rank third among reunion classes in the percentage of men back, with 46 per cent.
From Monday noon until after the alumni dinner Wednesday there was something doing every minute. The committee had made up a program which was carried out in almost every particular. We went to various exercises of the week, to the Prom Play, to the Amherst-Dartmouth ball game (we were proud of the appearance of the ladies in the line of march), and the ladies went in a body to the Musical Clubs' concert while the men were at the reunion dinner.
This was held at Newton Inn, Norwich, and kept us for seven hours enjoying the recall of days twenty years gone and the stories of those twenty years.
As we rolled down the hill to the station Wednesday, every man, every wife, and every child voted the reunion a great success, agreed that nothing could keep them away from the twenty-fifth reunion and that we were going to get every man back then and win the attendance cup—hands down.
The '92 men present at the reunion were as follows:
Allen, Baldwin, Barton, Belknap, Blood, Brown, Cook, Coon, Cummings, Doty, Emerson, Folsom, Gunnison, Hall, Lakeman, Lamprey, Libby, Lord, McDuffee, W. V., Miller, Noyes, Potter, Salinger, Strong, Weston, Holland, Jones.
