pril on campus: an array of tents popped up on both East and West
Campus quads like tulips in the Duke Gardens to welcome more than 3,000
alumni and family members for a fresh concept --a spring reunion weekend.
Replacing separate reunions in the fall, one grand gathering of graduates
will be held each spring. Autumn will be reserved for the traditional
Homecoming.
The classes of 1949, 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, and
the Half Century Club celebrated at Friday class parties on the quads, a variety of campus events
on Saturday, the Big Dance that evening, and a Sunday champagne breakfast in the
Sarah P. Duke Gardens. A University Photography team captured those memorable moments.
