...class song, written by Mr. Earl B. Putnam, of Waterville, N. Y., took place. The various spreads and teas, the dancing at Memorial Hall, the illuminations, and the singing of the Glee Club in the evening were all thoroughly enjoyed. In every way the observance of the Class Day of '79 was successful. It was a fitting close for a glorious college career.
