Class of 1902
The Thirty-fifth Reunion of the class of 1902 was held in Hanover, the program covering three days, Friday, June 11, through Sunday, June 13. Forty-two members and former members of the class were present, including Archibald, Chivers, R. B. Clark, R. C. Clark, Dalrymple, Dorr, Drake, Dudley, Edson, Elderkin, Estabrook, Farr, Farwell, Fitzgerald, Gilman, Griggs, Harris, Hatch, Wm. C. Hill, Holmes, Hosford, Houghton, Geo. W. Hubbard, Keniston, A. H. Merrill, Moore, Morse, Murray, H. F. Parker, Pattrell, Perkins, Plumer, Riley, A. H. Ruggles, H. B. Sanborn, Schilling, Sprague, Studwell, Taylor, Thompson, Tozzer, and Watson. With the wives and children of the class members there were eighty-three attending the reunion. Regrets that they were not able to attend were read from Anguera, Barnes, H. W. MacKinnon, Mahoney, Paine, Walker, and Whitcher. Julius Arthur Brown, who was not able to be with us, was represented by his son.
The weather did its best to make the reunion a success. Hanover was never more beautiful. A supper gathering at the Outing Club Friday evening was enjoyed by all; Saturday afternoon we were most graciously entertained by Arthur and Mrs. Chivers at their beautiful home. Especially interesting were the prizes won by their boys in various skiing tournaments. Two of them had just left for Chile to show the Chilians how to ski. It was unfortunate that Arthur was ill on the day of this reception and was not able to join with us.
The class was honored by having one of its members, Arthur Ruggles, as one of the speakers at the Alumni Luncheon. It was also shocked to learn of the sudden death on the morning of the gathering of Dennis Lyons. So unexpected was his death that his wife and daughter were in Hanover for the graduation of Dennis' son, William, who was to be one of the Commencement speakers.
At the class meeting, Saturday evening, Farwell resigned as class secretary. A vote of thanks and appreciation was passed for his splendid work in that office. Houghton was elected to succeed him as secretary and also to act as treasurer of the class. Dorr and Drake were continued as president and vice president. By vote of the class a letter of sympathy was sent to Mrs. Lyons, as well as a floral tribute from the class for the funeral of our classmate. Professor Hull was present as the guest of the class, and gave us some interesting reminiscences of our first course in physics. The reunion wound up with a picnic at Dudley's camp at Interlaken on Sunday.
Farwell's oldest son, Fred W. Farwell, was married on July 31 to Katherine D. Pier of New York City. Fred holds the degrees of A.B. (1931) and A.M.
