1893

The die is cast and '93 will not undertake to have a formal reunion this year. This is the decision which has been reached after careful consideration of all phases of the matters. Sidney C. Hayward, Secretary f the College, has written as follows, "President Hopkins has instructed me to assure you, as the Secretary of the Class of 1893, that the College wishes to assist you in any way possible if you do plan to hold a reunion of your class in Hanover any time in the next few months.

"All of the other classes will postpone their reunions until after the war when it is hoped that a great home-coming celebration may be held in Hanover with accumulated class reunions as the feature of the week-end in which all alumni of the College will be invited to return and as many as possible who could be present would participate in events repledging their loyalty to the College and hearing and discussing plans for rebuilding Dartmouth for a new era of true progress I should think all of us concerned with reunions of the older classes would be particularly interested in what the 50th year class decides to do and I await your reply with special interest and I want to help you in any way that I can."

We have advised Secretary Hayward of our postponement and of our desire to cooperate with the other classes in the "Grand home-coming celebration."
