The three adult members of the group are all alumni; Prof. Hamlin, graduated in 1873, served the University for 25 years as a member of the civil engineering faculty and was also the first president of the General Alumni Association, serving three terms in that office. With him are pic­ tured his son, George Harold Hamlin, member of the class of 1913, and George Harold Hamlin, Jr., his grandson, mem­ ber of the class of 1941, recently returned from service with the Naval Reserve. The other member of the group is George Harold Hamlin, 3rd, who at three years old has as yet no direct relationship with the University but is expected to be an active member of the class of about 1965. Professor Hamlin was honored by the University in 1921 by the award of the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws and by the Alumni Association in 1937 by presentation of the Alumni Service Em­ blem for that year.
