The weather was spectacular and spirits were high as more than 1,400 alumni from the classes of 1935 to 2004 came to campus for ReUnion 2005.
Highlights included the 50th ReUnion medallion ceremony on Friday, alumni parade and convocation on Saturday morning, and ReUnion fireworks (courtesy of Steve Ente '75) on Saturday night.
Three alumni – Charles Roden '60, Peter Smith '70 and Patricia Seftel '80 – received Alumni Council Gold Medals. Peter Tobiessen, professor of biology, received the Faculty Meritorious Service Award. The 50th ReUnion Class – 1955 – took both the Anable Cup (for the greatest number in the Alumni Parade) and the McClellan Cup (for the highest turnout at ReUnion). The Class of 1975 won the Van Voast/Class of 1941 Cup (for best costume) and the Class of 1943 ReUnion Award (for overall ReUnion effort).
