For 65 years the class of 1860 has had an unbroken record of attendance at Class Dal festivities; and this year nine surviving members of the class with return to carry on the tradition. Holworthy 2 will be the class headquarters, as it has been every year since its graduation.

The class of 1860 has been a note-worthy one despite the Civil War, which took heavy toll of its members. Of the 50 who enlisted in both armies, ten were killed in battle and many others had their lives shortened by wounds and illness incurred in the service.

The class started its academic career with the proud distinction of defeating the Sophomores in the football match on the traditional "Bloody Monday" night The class won in two games out of three, the only instance of such an achievement so long as the semi-barbaric institution was continued. It was the boast of the class also that it gave more trouble to the faculty than any class which had been graduated since the days of the Great Rebellion.

In later years the members of the class have shown the same spirit of vigor and enterprise, diverted to wiser channels. Many of them gained prominent and influential stations in life.

Among the surviving nine who will return to Cambridge tomorrow are Edward C. Johnson, merchant and philanthropist, until recently the head of C. F. Hovey & Co.; and Selwyn A. Bowman, former member of Congress and still an active practitioner of law in Boston. The others are Professor James A. Towle of Bryn Mawr: Frederick W. Bradlee: Edward Carter: D. T. S. Leland, Dr. Samuer G. Webber; John T. Morse, the class secretary: and Charles A. Nelson.
