50th Reunion
We were thrilled to welcome back the Hamilton and Kirkland Classes of 1974. It was a tremendous celebration on the Hill!
50th Reunion Gift Program
Hamilton has a long history of alumni honoring their 50th milestone with collective philanthropy. Over and above continuing their support of the Hamilton Fund, each class chooses one or more gift purposes to establish a legacy and pay it forward to the next generation of Hamiltonians.
Half-Century Annalist Letters
“We soon discovered that the insistence on effective written and oral expression extended well beyond the English Department; it was a campus-wide conspiracy. Other professors who had no business worrying about sentence structure and semicolons got into the act of correcting our mistakes. Eventually, however, we understood that writing was not our fundamental challenge; it was thinking. Because to write or speak clearly, you had to think clearly. And that is what our teachers taught us to do.”
Class of 1973 Annalist Letter (written by Roy Schecter ’73)
“Our personalized education was indeed ‘a sign of the times,’ those turbulent, disturbing, but ultimately inspiring and reinforcing times. We arrived at Kirkland as optimistic, curious, and idealistic students. We left as more mature and courageous risk-takers, determined to make a positive difference in the world.”

Is Hamilton part of your estate plan?
For many, outright contributions are the most efficient way to contribute. For others, planned gifts provide the means to do more for Hamilton, sometimes providing additional tax advantages as well. Outright and planned gifts, or some combination, are all counted.
