Plans for the 50th at Hanover during Commencement June 11, 12 and 13 are in progress. It is customary to reserve accommodations at the Hanover Inn for the half century class. This has been done.

A '99 family dinner will be held in Thayer Hall, Saturday evening, June 12.
A memorial service and other events, including participation in Alumni functions, are on the program. Full details will be sent to all later, after consultation with the Executive Committee.
