CLASS OF 1876

Ten members of the class — Ryder, Tripp, Kivel, Hardison, Bridgman, Merrill, Flint, Hibbard, Hill, and Piper — met at the Vendome, Boston, January 24, for the annual reunion and dinner. The personnel of the group has varied but little for the past few years. Last year Bridgman spent the winter in Porto Rico, and Whitcomb's presence made the number the same as this year. At one minute of eight a telegram from Judge Stimson of Denver was received, stating that at just eight o'clock, Boston time, he should look toward Boston and drink a health to '76. This was answered by the Boston group in kind, and a telegram stating the fact was sent at eight five. A brief letter signed by all present was sent to Dr. George Goodhue, Dayton, Ohio, sympathetically remembering his recent affliction in the death of his wife. These reunions in Boston were begun a few years after graduation, and have been kept up without interruption, except that in 1886 the reunion was in Hanover.

Secretary, Dr. Henry H. Piper, 411 High St., West Medford, Mass.
