Middlebury Chapel

One of the highlights of the weekend! Listen to George Matthews, Jr., play the carillon as the classes march in reverse order up the hill to the chapel, beginning with the Class of 2021. Members of the Classes of 1951 through 2021 line up by 4:00 p.m. on Old Chapel lawn, next to their reunion year class banners. For those who cannot or do not want to walk in the parade, please join your class at the chapel steps.

All are welcome at the Middlebury Chapel for quiet reflection on Sunday morning.

Join President Baucom and fellow alumni to hear class remarks, tap your canes in song, and celebrate class award winners. Through shared reflections, classmates will paint a vivid portrait of Middlebury across seven decades.

Attend in person, listen from the lawn outside the Chapel, or watch online at

Alumni reading their class remarks should come to the chapel for a brief rehearsal of Reunion Convocation.
