During the Summer the Decennial Record of the Class of Eighty-Eight has appeared. It contains a very full and interesting story of the Reunion and an excellent supplementary record of the Class from Sexennial to Decennial. A very good feature of the record is’ the full page portraits of the members of the Class who have died since Sexennial. The Decennial Reunion of the Class of 1888 was voted by all the members who were here at the time to be the best Class meeting they ever had, and the re- port of it which now appears shows scme good reasons for their opinions. One of the pleasant features of the re- port was the passage of a vote of thanks to Mr. Pond, the Class Secretary, and the appointment of a committee to pre- sent to him a memorial on behalf of the Class. This. memorial later sent to him has already been described in the WEEKLY. tp i, dp uy Journal of Science Contents.
