QUINDECENNIAL REUNION. I5 purest love for her, and prompted your lips to pour forth unlimited assurances that always-whenever and wherever-your duty to your Class and to Yale required you-at that time, and on that spot you would be found. The showing of our Class at its former Reunions has not con- firmed these pledges, and individually we are responsible, and collectively we are an ungrateful and irresponsive child to a loyal, constant, forgiving and indulgent parent. Another Eve years may find great changes among us and the unsympathetic and omnipotent Ravages of Time may render null and void the choice now open to us, for many will have join those of our Class who have already started upon the from whence there can be no returning. Classmates, your Committee makes this appeal to you in blime conhdence that you as sons of Yale will do your your Class and its fellows. A. F. TQOUNTZE, Chair-zfzaaz. T'TARRIS VV. BAKER, BURTON, D.
