at which the class Grafton and poem
were given. and that of the afternoon
which is given under the historic
Thorndike oak. and at which the OPEN

address are delivered. Owing to the
rain. however, the afternoon exercises
were given in the College church.
Not only was the program 4 pleasing
one in the way of literary excellence,
hut the weather did not materially les
sen tire arrival of the alumni and
friends of the old college. All of the
fraternity houses were crowded with
visitors and there are large numbers
a,artered about the town, to say moth
ing of those who came to Brunswick
just for the day.
Among the noted sons of Bowdoin
who arrived. today, We're Chief Justice
Melville W. Fuller of the United States
