1893 At Its 55th
THE FIFTY-FIFTH YEAR reunion of '93 is now a matter of history.
Of the thirty-three known living members of the class, ten were present at this anniversary as follows: Aborn, Child, Cox,Dodge, Griffith, Hunt, Jarvis, McKay, Edward Miller, and Woodbury.
Affiliated with the class and lending color to the gathering were Mrs. Aborn, Miss Child, Mrs. Dodge, Dr. L. Eaton, Mrs. Gass, Mrs. Griffith, Mrs. Hunt, Mrs. Jarvis, Mrs. Woodbury, and Miss Woodbury.
While the weather did not at all resemble the very wonderful sunshine of the fiftieth-year reunion held two years ago, nevertheless, those present enjoyed greater visiting and dining together.
The group began gathering Friday afternoon, June 11, at the Hanover Inn, where managers Heald and Ives had very graciously provided a very satisfactory room for '93's headquarters.
Friday evening the group attended a specially-provided early reception by President and Mrs. Dickey and later on, many enjoyed the Glee Club concert in Webster Hall.
By Saturday noon, the whole party had assembled and at 12:30 the men gathered at the gymnasium for luncheon, followed by the annual meeting of the Alumni Association, an account of which will be found elsewhere in this issue. After this, many enjoyed the Dartmouth-Maryland baseball game.
After pictures had been taken, the group met at the Hitchcock Room, Thayer Hall, where Manager Mrs. Hayward had provided a very fine roast beef dinner which was greatly enjoyed.
After brief remarks by President Cox, he called on each man for news of himself, his family and of classmates not present.
Class Secretary Aborn reported that there were twenty-five living of the original sixty-eight graduates and eight of the original forty non-graduates. There have been thirteen deaths since the publication of the Class's last detailed report in 1943.
The Secretary also furnished information regarding each living member of the class who was not present.
"Ed" Griffith, who has very regularly over the years been present at reunions, felt badly that his usual trip to the reunion with "King' Martyn and "Shorty"Bowers was interrupted by the death of "King" and the not too good condition of "Shorty."
President Cox read letters from a number of classmates.
Mrs. Jarvis reported that George "Horace" Greeley had broken his hip and it was reported indirectly that the same thing had happened to George Pender.
After the dinner, the group scattered, the Childs and the Woodburys returning to their summer homes at Thetford, Vt., and North Weare, N. H., respectively. Others attended the very amusing play "Vets Village," staged and acted by Dartmouth students and affiliated ladies.
On Sunday, we came to the final breakup hastened by rainfall and so '93's Fifty-Fifth year reunion came to an end.
