CLASS OF 1882

Fourteen members of the class of '82 attended the reunion at Commencement time. They were Chandler, Davis, DeWitt, English, Goss, Leviston, Little, Locke, Pease, Porter, H. L. Smith, Strong, Thompson, and Harlow. Harlow did not graduate, but he is considered one of the class and has attended previous reunions.

A considerable number of others had intended to be there, but at the last minute found that they could not come. War time conditions had something to do with this, and the fact that school graduation came at about the same time prevented those who are engaged in high school or supervisory work. Pease and Leviston brought their wives, and they joined in all the festivities of the class. The "festivities" were such as become men who have been thirty-five years out and have returned when the College has the sober and serious atmosphere resultant from the war. The class was quieter than it ever was before in Hanover. Headquarters were in North Fayerweather Hall. Strong and English arrived on Saturday before Commencement, and on Sunday Strong conducted the final vesper service for the year in the college chapel. DeWitt and Little as members of the Alumni Council devoted a large part of Monday to the business session of that body. On Tuesday, those of the class who had arrived, about ten in all, attended the President's reception in a body, and then called on Professors Emerson and Bartlett, the only two remaining members of the academic faculty who were in service during the college days of the class, now resident in Hanover.

The fraternity reunions were attended by some, and on Tuesday evening the class had its dinner in College Hall.

This was one of the most interesting sessions which the class has ever had. The entire roll of the class was called, including those who are dead and the non-graduates, and any one who had information concerning them submitted a report. Each member present spoke for himself with more or less detail of the doings of the last five years, or in some cases of the entire period since graduation, so that the session continued from 7 o'clock until about half past one in the morning.

There were sixty-two men graduated in the class. Of these fourteen are dead. In arranging for the reunion the secretary received letters from every man who graduated but four, and the addresses of three of these are not known.
