Class of 1885

Dr. Warren S. Adams of 110 East 38th St., New York city, is planning to leave for Prance about the middle of May, which will prevent him from attending the celebration at Hanover next commencement of the fortieth anniversary of the graduation of the class, which is a matter of regret to all his classmates.

John P. Brooks, president of Clarkson College of Technology at Potsdam, N. Y., writes that he will attend the reunion. Brooks has been very constant in his attendance at all reunions of the class.

Besides Brooks the following members of the class have also already expressed their intention to attend the reunion; Otis Hovey of New York, president of the class, with Mrs. Hovey. Fred Plapp of Chicago, with Mrs. Plapp. Henry Hubbard of Candia, N. H., with Mrs. Hubbard. Charles F. Chase of New 'Britain, Conn., with Mrs. Chase and two children. Dick Currier of Barre, Vt., with Mrs. Currier and their daughter. Arthur Bourlet of Hartford, Vt. Lorrain Weeks of Gilmanton, N. H. John Cunningham of Newport, Vt. Wilbur Rockwood of Everett, Mass., with Mrs. Rockwood. Herbert Armes of Manomet, Mass., with Mrs. Armes. Henry Austin of Warner, N. H., and Mrs. Austin. Walter Mooers of Boston. Frank E. Colby of Bow Mills, N. H. John Clarke of Newark, N. J. D. O. Bean of Berkeley, Cal. W. N. Cragin of Worcester, Mass. The Class Secretary with Mrs. Bayley. The favorable response from so many at this early date gives assurance of a large attendance at the reunion, —"the more the merrier."

Judge Washburn of Middleboro, Mass., will attend the reunion if the health of his wife will permit. Mrs. Washburn has been almost totally paralyzed for about three years. They both have the sympathy of the class in her affliction.

Elam Clarke of Waukegan, Ill., writes that he will probably not be able to attend the reunion, but his son, Lewis, will enter Dartmouth the coming fall.

The changes which have occurred in and about Hanover during the past forty years will in themselves well repay attendance at the reunion, particularly those of the class who have not had the pleasure and inspiration of having already seen; them.

The Secretary is glad to say that from the letters now coming in he hopes to be able to publish a report in the near future. Whether he will be able to do so will depend in a great measure upon those of the class who have not already sent in their letters.
