Next Month

In about six weeks Commencement and reunions of the 25th year and older classes will be held, followed by Hanover Holiday's week of faculty talks. In seven weeks the four younger classes—1921, 1926, 1931, and 1936—wi1l come back for their regular five-year reunions to inaugurate the plan of later reunions. On the same weekend, June 20-21, the class and alumni club secretaries, class agents, and class treasurers, will for the first time hold joint meetings in Hanover to discuss their separate and common affairs.

The number of graduating seniors and their guests has grown steadily. They will, together with alumni from the oldest classes down through 1916, require just about all of the available dormitory space and eating facilities. The extreme crowding of recent years should be a nightmare of the past with four of the reunion classes coming back a week later. Class officers have reported record returns for the post-Commencement week-end. Hanover Holiday has already received more registrations than was true a year ago at this time, and last year's program of the intellectual and vacation "alumni college" was widely popular and largely attended.

Dartmouth is known for pioneering in many different fields. Whether the ten days of diverse and numerous activities in Hanover from June 12 to June 22 will be judged by the alumni a worthwhile custom to be established remains to be seen. Meanwhile advance predictions are favorable for the widest participation of any reunions in Dartmouth history.
