Returning Alumni To Stay At Houses for First Time

Alumni returning for class reunions have "outgrown the Yard," according to Peter E. Pratt '40, director of alumni records, and the overflow crowd will be accommodated in the Houses this year for the first time.

The Class of 1925, which starts its twenty-fifth reunion Sunday, will be housed in Adams, Kirkland, and Winthrop. Including wives and children, this group is expected to number about 1300.

Celebrating its thirtieth reunion, the Class of 1920 will stay in the Business School. This group should number about 650.

Eliot House will play host to the Class of 1915 as it marks its thirty-fifth reunion. In case the turnout is larger than the anticipated 300, the Law School dormitories will take care of the overflow. No students will be displaced from the Houses to make room for the incoming alumni.

In all, about 6,000 alumni are expected to show up. The total number, including guests, is expected to equal the 12,000 of last year and may reach the 15,000 mark, according to Pratt.
