User-Contributed Transcription June 16, 1921My dear Classmate:On May 16th the Class of 1891 of Union Theological Seminary has a private luncheon at the Aldine Club, Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street, New York City. Our Vice-president, J. Frederick Talcott, was in the chair and acted as toast-maker. It was by his courtesy and generosity that we were privileged to meet at this club, and the good-will and fellowship seemed complete. We surely recall the good old days in the old Seminary building at Park Avenue and 69th and 70th Streets, and the old familiar faces of our esteemed classmates came up before us, and their peculiar habits and traits were neither forgotten nor obliterated by the flight of time. We read extracts from letters where fellows were gracious enough to send them, and we recalled tenderly and lovingly those who "have fought the good fight of faith and have finished the course and won the crown." A shadow rested over us in the deaths in one year of Dan Overton, his sister, and his son. It is a strange Providence that took from life three such useful people and left Dan's poor old Mother at the age of 95. We had living words from the lips of Talcott, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood, Rohrabaugh, Losa, Houston, Cromie, Beebe, Fryling, Warren, Baldwin, Reinhart, French, Parsons, Kerr, Carter, and Kuebler. (Cole was with us part of the time.)The best proof that a most pleasant time was experienced is evidenced by the fact that tho we gathered at 1 P.M. we were loath to part at 6 P.M. In the evening we shared the joys of the dinner at the Pennsylvania Hotel, and on the day following we were the guests of the Seminary.Two resolutions were passed:1. That we secure a letter from each fellow, obtaining as much personal history as possible from him for class purposes.2. That we endeavor among ourselves, our Churches, or friends, to raise a fund for some gift (to be designated later) for our Seminary.We send to each fellow our personal greetings.Always sincerely, Secretary C. R. Keeber
