bridge. E. {. Blanchard, Mrs. c. A.
Bunker and Mrs. Herbert Hooker. AZ
ter as much consultation with those who
would naturally be interested in the
project as was possible, this committee
decided upon the appointment OF various
committees to take charge of the work.
1t was also decided to create a central
executive committee which should have
general supervision and charge of the
celebration, and full authority to pass
upon the plans ofthe various committees.
This committee is composed of the chair
men OF the general committees.
1t will be seen that much work has
been done and much progress made
Only the foundation, however, has been
laid for such a celebration as such an
occasion merits. We address this COM
munication, therefore, to you as one
who, we feel sure, will feel deep inter
est in the project, for the double purpose
of informing you what has been done,
and of inviting your cooperation and
encouragement.
Up to the present time but two points
in connection with the celebration have
been determined, and these, because
time for preparation was essential. The
Hon. c. A. Bunker has been invited to
make the historical address, and Prof
C.. H. Cambridge has been invited to
speak OF the present conditions and tu-
ture needs. Each has accepted. The
time fixed for the celebration is the week
beginning August 8.
it is extremely desirable that sugges.
tons OF appropriate ways of making
this anniversary red.letter day in the
history of the school should be consid-
cred as soon as possible. We therefore
cordially invite you to communicate
with the chairman of the committee of
which you are a member any ideas that
may occur to you as adapted to the
work of the committee, and also to COM
municate to the secretary any sugges-
tions regarding the celebration in general
that you may consider likely to enhance
( its success. Even though no such sug-
gestions should occur to your mind, it
would be gratifying to those who have
endeavored thus iartof further the project
to receive some word Of encouragement
and promise oil cooperation.
All general communications should be
addressed to Mrs. C. A. Bunker, secre-
. tary, Ptacham, VT. Communications to
charmen of committees may also be sent
to Peacham, VT, in care of the secretary,
who will forward them to their proper
destinations.
Certain preliminary expenditures are
essential in the undertaking, and we
' should be pleased to have anyone who
feels so inclined contribute thereto in
such amounts from one dollar to fifty
5 dollars as he may consider proper. Al
remi tances should be sent to Hon. G. p
Blair, West Barnet, Vermont.
