and benefit to the University. Since 1865
the University has, by vote of the Trus-

country has passed, and the eminent ser
vices rendered by the Sons of N II, in
either branch OF the service, together with
the successes attained by others in the
walka of civil life, and the diversified ex-
perience enjoyed by former classmates and
friends, prompts the hope that the pro-
posed reunion may meet very general ia
vor and that comrades long separated, to
experience great vicissitudes of fortune,
may assemble on the occasion Indicated,
for social enjoyment and the renewed of
former friendship.
While it is expected that the desire to
visit their A Ina Mater and witness her
present prosperity, will induce a general
attendance upon the reunion at North
field, it is believed that nearly all men,
bers of the Association would gladly avail
themselves of an opportunity to visit Nor

former site of The Old South Barracks,
and other familiar buildings and locali-
ties Arrangements will therefore be

modations while at the reunion, will be
