Medical School

For the classes reuning in June - at this writing (May 6) we have received over fifty reservations for the June 21st luncheon to be held in Kellogg Medical Auditorium for all Dartmouth physicians. This has been scheduled by reunion committees at this time so that it will not conflict with other scheduled events. If you have not notified us already that you will be here, please do so at once. It will be the best chance to see all returning physicians.

"Demolition Begins on Two Med School 'Old Timers'." Thus read the sad headline in the Daily D on April 4.
