CLASS OF 1882
It will be with surprise and real sorrow that the class learns of Harlow's death. (See Davis' contribution to the Necrology section of this issue.) It was but a few weeks ago that the Secretary received from him his copy of the questionnaire filled out, and written with his own hand and his fine penmanship. He had felt it was altogether unlikely he would be able to come to Hanover in June, but responded to the suggestion that he should hope for such improvement as would make it possible, and sent his greeting to the fellows and his assurance of loyal interest in the class and the celebration being planned for its fiftieth year reunion.
Luques has kindly consented to serve as substitute for the Secretary at the conference of class secretaries in Hanover the first week in May. By that time details of arrangements for the reunion will be pressing, and he will be able to have direct negotiations with the College Secretary, the Inn, the authorities on the Commencement program, and whomsoever else we may wish to deal with in settling the class plans.
Don't get nervous about what you are to do when you get to Hanover June 17; where you are to go first; where you will find the other fellows; when the first event for '82 comes off, etc. There will be plenty of communications made to you before then, from one source or another, and upon one authority and another. You will be told where headquarters are to be; where and how you can secure your assignments for entertainment, your tickets for various functions, and all that. Secretary Hayward sends me this quieting word: "There is very little to be done in Hanover, since the class is quartered at the Inn, and things sort of automatically take care of themselves over there."
Returns are well in now to the class letter and questionnaire of December 1. At present all but five of the class have responded. Most of the 24 are pointing their plans, or at least their hopes, toward Hanover. Many will bring their wives or some other member of the family. One gallant soul says he is already planning for 1937—the 55th year reunion. Every one seems to feel this is going to be a great time—not to be missed. And so it is!
Secretary, 89 Lowell Ave., Newtonville, Mass.
