Hardly seems possible that the years have rolled around so fast that this is the year of our 35th reunion! So that you may begin your planning early to be sure to be with us the following information comes from our perennial chairman, Bill Dewey. Dates: June 17 and 18, 1968. Except for memorial service all activities with '32 and '34. Program: cocktail party Monday afternoon, alumni dinner at Leverone Monday night, breakfast Tuesday at Class tent followed by a panel discussion, combined picnic at Quechee, and entertainment both nights at the tent. How about putting these dates on your calendar right now and perhaps even plan a week or more of next year's vacation in the Hanover area? Incidentally Bill has been on the shelf for a couple of months with ticker trouble but is on the mend and we hope can continue to carry this responsibility which he does so very well.
There are lots of congratulations in order. First to the Class as a whole. You were just great in exceeding the class objective in the Alumni Fund for the first time since graduation! Especial thanks to Wes Beattie for the tremendous amount of time and leadership he gave, to Ed Knapp, our Class Agent, and all his regional class agents and assistant class agents, to those of you who cooperated so well to make major increases in your gifts to establish a "challenge fund" for the rest of the Class to match, and of course to all who helped meet this challenge with increased gifts.
And in alphabetical order the following congratulations to:
Dr. Evan R. Collins, President of State University at Albany, who received his first honorary degree, Doctor of Science, from Albany Medical College. Van delivered the commencement address and was also speaker at special convocations at the University of Maine's Orono and Portland campuses in early August.
