Medical School
JUNE 14 is A LONG WAY back in this fast moving world, but we must tell the absentees about our reunion. The extended program was reviewed, all or in part, and apparently passed by our always alert board of critics, the alumni body, which appeared in numbers sufficient to call for extra tables at the Hospital luncheon on Friday noon; came over for lectures in the old amphitheatre at the School, sweltering day though it was; and stayed for the banquet in the evening. We don't know how many people were here because not every one attended all parts of the program, but one hundred and twenty-six came into the Commons for the banquet, graduation, and annual meeting. Twenty men received diplomas from Trustee Gile, M'18, were welcomed into the association by President Kimpton, M'os, and were told what the rest of humanity thinks of doctors by Professor John Moffat Mecklin of the Department of Sociology. Spencer T. Snedecor, Department M'21, was elected president and Harry C. Storrs, M'10, with a son in each class of the School, was elected vice-president. Even a rainy Saturday morning was conducive to interest in the hospital clinics and ward walks. We have nine months to plan for the next reunion. Your Committee welcomes suggestions.
