OLD TIMERS WILL
 STAGE REUNION
Two Graduates Of 50 Years
 Ago at Yale

New Haven, June OP-For the first time in the history of Yale uni versity, classes of more than 50 years standing will return for a. re- union at the commencement exer- Cises this month. This will be a dis tinCt deviation from the Yale tradi- tion that no formal reunions are to be held after the first century period.
 The announcement of the reunion plans follows a move on the part of Chauncey M. Depew, '56, who pro- posed to set new fashion and break a university record by organizing and holding a reunion of his famous class.
 Only two members Of the class of '56, characterized as one of the most distinguished ever graduated by the university, are alive, Chaun- cey NJ. Depew and Dr. Virgil Dow of New Haven.
 The Civil War class of '61, averag- ing S5 years, has abandoned it's ef- forts to stage a reunion. It has six members left but none Is as vigorous as Senator Depew of the older class. Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, one of the most distinguished members of the class, formerly governor and chief justice of Connecticut, will be unable to leave his home, two blocks from the campus to attend any of the commencement activities.
 The class of '66, numbering 20. also has decided against a reunion.
 Edwin D. Bennett, of Hartford, the class secretary has canvassed the members and has learned that the sentiment is against arranging a pro- grom of any kind. If three or four members return. however, there will be a common meeting of some kind.
 As another new feature of com- mencement, Yale college and Shelf field classes will merge their re- union plans for the first time.
 This plan has encountered opposi- ton on the part of some Of the classes of Yale college, especially the class Of 1901, which has re- fused outright to merge with the class of 1901S.
 The class officials base their ac- ton on two reasons, namely the fact that the class went through Yale without meeting or knowing their scientific school class mates, and that the Sheffield course was only three years long until 1921, while the col lege was four years.
