Excerpt from Bowdoin College: The Thirty-Fifth Anniversary of the Class of 1849, July 10, 1884

The Class of '49 was small in numbers, and for a few years after graduation death was busy in its ranks. These and other misfortunes rendered it uncertain whether a sufficient number of the survivors of the Class could be brought together on the Thirty-fifth Anniversary of graduating to make the meeting a success. In the beginning, it was agreed that if ten promised to attend, arrangements should be made for a meeting and a dinner. Eight promptly responded to the Secretary's call. When the small number of survivors was taken into consideration, it was thought that eight would make a fair representation of the class, and so the Secretary carefully made all necessary preparations for a meeting which was called at the Tontine on the evening of July 10th, 1884, at eight o'clock. The eight who had promised to attend were all on time, viz.: Adams, Cothren 1st, Cothren 2d, Deane, Evelcth, Jackson, Ware and Williamson. They had hardly looked each other squarely in the face, and through grizzly beards and some wrinkles, discovered the smooth-cheeked boys of thirty-five years ago, when a stranger made his appearance. After much perplexity and some guessing (mostly wrong) it began to dawn upon us that the stalwart form of the stranger was no other than "Old Hob" of the past, and "General Hobson" of the present. This surprise and addition to our numbers added very much to the delight of the whole evening.
