The annual dinner of the class of '29 was held Thursday evening at the Parker House. The number of survivors of that class has diminished steadily and rapidly during the past few years, so that of all who graduated only six were left to attend the sixtieth anniversary. Two have died during the past year. Those present Thursday evening were: Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Rev. Dr. S. F. Smith, author of the hymn "America"; Rev. Samuel May, class secretary and a prominent abolitionist before the war; Rev. Dr. Stickney, of Royalton, Vt.; Rev. A. S. Devens, of Boston, and Charles Storrow, who is president of the class organization.
