Class of 1893
The committee to take charge of the arrangements for the 40-year reunion at Hanover in June has been named and consists of Gordon, Chandler, Dodge, and Jarvis, with the president and secretary, exofficio. Every member of the class will hear from the committee seasonably in regard to the programme. Meanwhile June 17-20 are the days to save on all '93 engagement books. A hasty tabulation seems to show that 22 members of the class are now resident in New Hampshire; 25 in the other New England states; and 20 in the rest of the country. We might have an interclass attendance contest between these three groups, giving the out-of-New England fellows two credits apiece for those answering "present" in June.
