CLASS OF 1887
June 15-20 there assembled at Hanover 83 per cent of the living graduates of the class, and the large attendance and the presence of many who had not met with the class since graduation reproduced in many elements of the life at Hanover in the middle eighties.
The class was quartered in North and South Massachusetts Halls, and the assembly room in North Mass., owing to the continued rain, was day and evening filled with the men, women, and children of the '87 group.
On Saturday evening lantern slide pictures illustrating scenes of our college days, were shown by Professor Sanborn. On Sunday afternoon the class met at Dr. Gile's house, where refreshments were served, and later the class dined at the Inn with an attendance of 90, including the families. Three men were present from the Pacific Slope, Prof. George W. Shaw, Rev. Charles D. Milliken, and Rev-Fred E. Winn. Three more came from Idaho and Washington, Rev. Maurice W. Morse, John D. Bell, and Dr. H. W. Hall. Fifty-three members were present, including three non-graduates.
Engrossed resolutions on the death of James C. Simpson, who died suddenly on June 11. were sent to his wife. At the alumni banquet on Tuesday, Rev Charles D. Milliken of Piedmont, Cal., spoke of Dartmouth alumni in his state, and Dr. John M. Gile gave the closing address as retiring trustee. The election of Fred A. Howland as trustee was announced. In competition for the cup for attendance the class was again successful. The committee in charge of the reunion consisted of Rice. Gile, Junkins, and Sanborn.
