CLASS OF 1873

At their reunion in 1913, it was voted to hold the next one in 1919 instead of 1918, it being supposed at that time that the commencement of 1919 would be one of very unusual magnitude in celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the College. Although those plans were changed, it was decided nevertheless to hold the reunion this year. The members of the class were comfortably housed in South Fayerweather Hall. At a brief business session, it was voted to establish the office of permanent president, and Mr. Alfred S. Hall was chosen to that office. The class banquet was held in College Hall. Francis E. Clark was chosen toastmaster. The secretary read the list of those who had died since the reunion of 1913, the members standing during the reading of the names. The toastmaster called upon the members one by one to tell of their work, their families, their varied experiences.

The following members of the class were C. Frederick Bradley, Boston Mass.; John L. Briggs, Saratoga Springs, N. Y.; Francis E. Clark, Boston, Mass.; Ralph Field, Providence, R. I.; George P. Hadley, Goffstown, N. H.; Alfred S. Hall, Boston, Mass.; Justin G'. Hayes, Williamsburg, Mass.; George D. Holton, Chicago, Ill.; Leonard Jarvis, Claremont, N. H.; Charles H. Jones, Boston, Mass.; Herbert G. King, Detroit, Mich.; Hamilton Mayo, Leominster, Mass.; M. Scoby McCurdy, Andover, Mass.; Clarence D. Palmer, Manchester, N. H.; James H. Pettee, Tokyo, Japan; Olney W. Phelps, Warren, Mass.; Chauncey J. Richardson, Newbury, Vt.; Henry P. Saunderson, Manchester, N. H.; John C. Stewart, York pillage, Me.; Samuel W. Adriance, Winchester, Mass. A printed leaflet containing the words of some of the familiar college songs at Dartmouth during the years 1869 to 1873 was distributed, and at intervals there was singing. A song entitled "Clouds of Gold" had been written for the reunion by the class secretary, and was sung during the evening.
