Medical School
THE ALUMNI REUNION has been growing each year in response to demand. This year the program includes more of scientific and professional interest, making it even easier to justify taking off that much time. Remember that last year we outgrew our dining room because too many came without reservations. Now there will be ample room but even so we cannot expect our committee to be prepared unless we tell them we are coming. SEND IN THE CARD.
The School has chosen its new class with four alumni represented. Edward O. Tabor M'01, Harry T. French M'14, Bernard Spillane M'14 will send sons and Edwin H. Ober M' 26 will send a nephew.

Miller M' 26. Two days out of Falmouth Foreside and drugged with sleep the rest of the crew, Oliver Hayward M' 32 and Read Lewin M'31, must be below snatching cat naps during the dog watch.
