Massachusetts Agricultural College's pioneer class of 1871 as they appeared yesterday back for reunion after 50 years
Description:
Newspaper clipping with writing on lower right that says "Photo by Thrasher". Eleven of the twelve living members of the class are in the photo. They're all dressed in suits, and have a badge or ribbon on their jackets. Most of them are holding hats. The men are identified below the photo. "Left to right, front row- Robert W. Lyman of Northampton, W.D. Russell of New York, William P. Birnie of Springfield, Gideon H. Allen of New Bedford. Back row- E.E. Thompson of West Midway, W.M.[sic] Tucker of Monson, William Wheeler of Concord, Leroy Crocker of Boston, E.B. Smead of Greenfield, George Leonard of Springfield, J.F. Fisher of Fitchburg." (There is no mention of Leroy Crocker in either the General Catalogue or the Index. It is uncertain whether he was a member of that class, or whether this is a misprint by the newspaper.)
