A remarkable feature of the commencement of the University of Idaho this week is the presence of six brothers who are graduates of the school, who brought their families here to attend the commencement exercises and to hold a family reunion, and attend the alumni day banquet and dance. They are the six sons of G. M. Nichols, a pioneer of Latah County, who took a homestead near here forty years ago. The only member of the family not here is a sister, also a graduate of the university, who was unable to attend. The parents of this family died several years ago, but one son is living on the old homestead, a short distance from Moscow.
Those here to attend the commencement, alumni day exercises and the family reunion, to be held at Clarksburg, June 14, are: G. M. Nichols, wife and four children, of Exeter, California, where Mr. Nichols is engaged in fruit growing; L. G. Nichols, professor of education in the Y. M. C. A. at Portland, with his wife and four children; W. L. Nichols, physician and surgeon, Exeter, California, with wife and three children; Ray M. Nichols, a minister of Walla Walla, Wash., with his wife and two children; Mark D. Nichols, a fruit grower of Clarkston, Wash., with his six children; and Elmer D. Nichols, wife and children, who are living on the father's original homestead.
The family plans to have a reunion at Clarkburg, at the home of Mark D.  Nichols, on June 14. There will be 42 members of the family present at this reunion.
