CLASS OF 1868

The class of '68 had a most interesting and successful reunion this year on its fiftieth anniversary. We entered only 35, 28 Academics and 7 Chandlers, but we graduated 44, 32 Academics and 12 Chandlers; three others were granted degrees since 1868, making the total number receiving degrees 47. Twenty-one are now living, and of these sixteen were present, giving 76+ per cent, and 1868 will be inscribed on the Commencement Cup. Two had not been here since the Centennial of the College in 1869, and one since graduation; two of the absent ones live in California, and another, who is a practicing physician, was detained at the last moment by a professional case.

Our banquet with old-time reminiscences was prolonged into the small hours of the next day.

We renewed the iron marker at the class tree in front of Reed Hall, which the grading of the College yard had covered, and the dedicatory address given fifty years ago was read by the secretary to the class gathered about the tree.
