Reunion Dates
March 1938

As announced in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE last month the week-end dates for Commencement this year will be from Friday, June 17, through Monday noon, June go. Classes holding reunions are: 1888, 1893, 1898, 1903, 1908, 1913, 1918, 1923, 1928, and 1933. The schedule of events for reunions begins Friday afternoon, June 17, and continues through Saturday and Sunday, when the program traditionally ends with the class outing or picnic. Members of reuning classes will hear from their reunion committees or class officers in regard to definite plans and events.

The official College program for Commencement will begin Thursday evening, June 16, when meetings of the Board of Trustees and the Alumni Council will be held. Alumni and their families and parents and friends of seniors will move into the dormitories Friday afternoon, June 17, and will attend the first event on the Commencement calendar—the reception by President and Mrs. Hopkins early in the evening. The senior ball will follow. A league baseball game with Harvard is scheduled for Saturday morning, the Alumni Luncheon at noon, class day exercises in the afternoon, and class dinners, the Players show, and a band concert in the evening.

Sunday morning the Baccalaureate address will be given by Dean Luther A. Weigle of the Yale Divinity School. The customary reunion outings to nearby lake and mountain resorts will follow in the afternoon.

The final Commencement exercises will be held Monday morning in the Bema, or in Webster Hall if the weather is not fair.

In the evening of that day, Monday, June 20, Hanover Holiday, or the Alumni College, will get under way on its program for the remainder of the week. The several lectures, discussions, and social gatherings will be open to all alumni, their families and friends.
