PREFACE. My Dear Classmates: If any apology is necessary for the long delay incident to the preparation of the "Trigintennial" Record, a word as to its arrangement will convince you that time and labor have been the two important factors in accomplishing the work. The previous Class Records, published in 1870, '73, 'yy and '87, have been al- most entirely revised, to admit of interesting Class data and items. The order of arrangement in the biographical sketch of each member em- braces : (a) The name of his father and mother, and the place and time of his birth. (b) Where he fitted for College. (c) A short sketch of his Ancestry. (d) What occupation he has been engaged in since graduating or leaving the Class, up to the present time. (e) His marriage, the birth of children, what schools they attended, etc. Also the deaths that have occurred in his family. (f) The College Societies he belonged to, and the honors and rank he ob- tained while in College. The photographs of each member, so far as I have been able to obtain them, form an important feature of the book. The plan of having two photographs of each member on one page, the one representing him as he looked when he graduated and the other as he now looks, had its origin with the Class of '62, and our Committee adopted their idea. If the record shall prove as interesting to you as it has to me during its preparation; if in perusing its pages fond memory shall recall many a forgotten circumstance or event in the lives of your Classmates — it will more than repay your SECRETARY. or THS , "CTNIVERSITYj HISTORY, CLASS OF SIXTY-SEVEN, YALE. The Class of 1867 entered Yale College Wednesday, September i6th, 1863. with one hundred and thirty-eight members, representing twenty-five different States, the District of Columbia, Danish West Indies, and one foreign country. During the Freshman year eight others joined the Class, making the whole number one hundred and forty-six Oi these, two — Bartlett and Darling — died; and nineteen left during the first year. The one hundred and twenty-five who survived to commence Sophomore year were joined by six others, increasing our number to one hundred and thirty-one. Of these additions, two were suspended for one year and one was dropped from the roll. Thirty-five, in all, left during our second year, so that after Biennial the Class only numbered, all told, with additions and losses, ninety-six. At the close of Sophomore year we suffered a severe loss in the death of Second Lieutenant Edwin C. Pratt, of the Eighth U. S. Colored Infantry, who left us early in the Spring of 1865, to join the Union forces. He died from exposure in front of Petersburg on the 3d of July, 1865. He was a man of high intellectual powers, and gave promise of a bright future. At the commencement of Junior year, by the addition of twelve men, we numbered just one hundred and eight, but at the close we lost seven, including one more by death — Harpin Meigs I-um, who was acci- dentally drowned while on his Summer vacation at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, August 30th, 1866. Senior year found us numbering one hundred and one members, and we had not more than entered upon the year when the news reached us of the death of Samuel Dyer Allen, who had left us in June, 1866. Ill-health caused him to seek the Burning Springs of West Virginia, and while there he was stricken down with typhoid fever and died December 14th, 1866. This was the fifth death the Class had sustained during our four years' course. One entered the Class and two left during the year. On the i8th of July, 1867, one hundred members of the Class received the degree of B. A. Four who left us during the course have since received the Academic degree of A. M. from Yale, and have been enrolled with the Class, making our total on the Triennial one hundred and four. Besides the one hundred and thirty-eight who entered Freshman year, additions increased the whole number to one hundred and sixty-five, and of the one hundred who graduated in 1867, eighty-one entered at the beginning of the course. There are about thirty-five, or about one-third of the Class, whose fathers and brothers were College graduates. Of the fathers who had sons in '67, eleven received the degree of B. A., while sixteen graduate* and six non-graduates have had brothers in '67. The whole number connected with the Class during the four years' course was 165. Of these Phil- lips Academy, Andover, furnished twenty-one, Hopkins Grammar School ten. General Russell's Military Academy seven, Williston Seminary, Easthampton, twelve. The following institutions sent four: Guilford, Institute, Connecticut; Overheiser's Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Hopkins Grammar School, Hartford, Conn ; and Claverack Institute, Hudson, N. Y. The following sent three: New Haven High School, Worcester High School; Stanmore School, Sandy Springs, Md. The following sent one: Edwards Place School, Stockbridge, Mass.; Washington Academy, Salem, Mass.; Roxbury Latin School; Bridgeport Academy, Conn.; Woodward High School, Cincinnati, O. ; West Branch High School, Jersey Shore, Pa.; Western University of Pennsylvania; Mt. Pleasant Academy, Sing Sing, N. Y. ; Lind University, Lake Forest, 111.; Kenosha High School, Wis.; Brooklyn Polytechnic; Cleve- land Central High School, O. ; Troy High School, N. Y. ; New Hampshire Conference Seminary; Mays- ville Seminary, Ky. ; Knox College, Galesburg, 111. ; Oberlin College, O. ; Easton Academy, Conn. ; Massillon Union School, O. ; Wesleyan University, O.; Peekskill Military Academy, N. Y. ; Wabash College, Ind.; Golden Hill Institute, Bridgeport, Conn.; Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pa.; Dayton Central High School, O. ; Weymouth High School, Old Lyme, Conn.; Erie Academy, Pa.; Moravia Institute, N. Y.; Nash- ville High School, Tenn. ; Lawrenceville Academy, N. J.; Lowville Academy, N. Y. ; and a few others. Some forty or forty-five of the Class received private instruction. The Class recited during its college course to twelve professors and six tutors. Of these, ten pro- fessors and one tutor have died, leaving at this date only five tutors and two professors surviving. During Freshman year the Class recited Greek to Professor Hadley, Latin to Tutor A. W. Wright, Euclid to Tutor Nolen, Algebra and Latin Prose composition to Tutor Wilcox, and History to Tutor Wheeler. Sophomore year: Greek to Tutor Wheeler and Professor Packard, Latin to Tutor Gibbs, Mathematics — all branches — to Professor Newton, Rhetoric to Professor Northrop, Lectures on Elocution by Professor Bailey, and Lectures in the Laboratory by Professor Loomis. Junior year: Natural Philosophy to Tutor Gibbs, Latin to Professor Thacher, English History to Pro- fessor Northop, Greek to Tutor Dexter, Calculus to Professor Newton, German and French to Professor W. D. Whitney, Logic to Professor Porter, and Astronomy to Professor Loomis. Senior year: Political Economy, Guizot's History of Civilization, Lieber's Civil Liberty, Butler's An- alogy, Law of Nations, Constitution of the United States, to Professor Woolsey; Moral Science, Hamilton's Metaphysics, Law of Love and Love as a Law, Paley's Evidences of Christianity, to Professor Porter; Geology to Professor Dana; Chemistry to Professor Silliman, Jr., and Professor Barker; Anatomical Lec- tures by Professor Sanford. Those living at this writing are Professors Bailey and Northrop and Tutors Dexter, Gibbs, Wheeler, Wilcox and Wright. FRESHMAN YEAR On Friday, September 25, 1863, the Class was duly initiated into the Freshman Societies, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Kappa, and Gamma Nu, by '66. By far the larger number joined the first two societies, though the "open" society contained, as was shown during our College course, some of our best men. We started in right by organizing a temperance society, in which the following pledge was drawn up and signed by some eighty members of the Class: " We, members of the Class of '67, pledge ourselves, upon our solemn oath, not to drink intoxicating liquors throughout our College Course.". On January 28th, 1864, the first death occurred. Melzar Franklin Bartlett died of brain fever. Ap- propriate resolutions were drawn up by a Committee of the Class, a copy of which was sent to the family of the deceased. The 22d of February, 1864, was marked by a general uprising on the part of the Sophomores and Freshmen; it was a bit of a rebellion against the Faculty, taking the form of an almost unanimous "cut" of recitations. Twenty marks apiece to the Sophomores and eight to the Freshmen was the penalty. In July. 1864, occurred two boat races between Harvard and Yale, at Worcester, on Lake Quin- sigamond. The Sophomore race took place first, in which Yale was defeated. The University race, which occurred just after, resulted in a well earned victory for Yale in 19 min. I sec. The Class voted to resurrect the old institution termed "Pow Wow," which celebrates the transition from the Freshman "Grub" to the Sophomore Locust. 8 ^ OK TKK U'NIVFRSIT^r But all efforts were at once quashed by "the pow-ers that be." On June 14, 1864, Clarence Darling died of typhoid fever; his was the second death the Class sus- tained during its College course. Appropriate resolutions were drawn up by a Committee of the Class, a copy of which was sent to the family of the deceased. SOPHOMOTiE YEAR. During this year we had more than the average encounters and contests, as a Class, with the Fresh- men. We endeavored, in every case, to take care of them, but in one or two of the "High Street" rushes we found the Freshmen abundantly able to take care of themselves. Shortly after the opening of the term we had a Class picture taken on the steps of the old State House. Our Class founded a new Sophomore society, called the "Phi Theta Psi." One of the Society's songs. "Amici usque ad aras" (composed by C. H. G. ), ranks among the popular songs of the College to-day. The Presidential contest occurred this year, and the political arena was ablaze with mass meetings and torch light processions. A canvass of the Class resulted in one hundred and seven votes for Lincoln and twenty- six for McClellan. On Thanksgiving Day, November 24th, 1864, occurred the death of Professor Benjamin Silliman, LL.D., in the 86th year of his age. For nearly sixty years he was the acknowledged head of all our philosophers in Natural Science in this country. His funeral occurred on the 28th, at the Center Church, and was at- tended by the members of our Class. President Woolsey delivered the discourse. In February, 1865, Lieutenant Thomas Hedge was presented with a sword and belt by his former Classmates of '66. He enlisted as a private in the io6th N. Y. Volunteers, and was subsequently honored with a lieutenant's commission. Mr. James Brand, of '66, made the presentation speech. Our Class had the last Sophomore Biennial, as '65 had the last Senior Biennial. In the Jubilee that followed this examination we illustrated our Class motto, Kijp eV /ai'a 666? , by taking iwo ways, one part of the Class going to Savin Rock, the other to Guilford Point. On the 3d of July Lieutenant Edwin C. Pratt, who left us early in the Spring, died. This was the third death we sustained during our College course. This year the famous Yale six-oared crew, under Stroke Wilbur Bacon of '65, defeated the Harvard* ir a three-mile race, in the fastest time on record — 17 min. 42 1-2 sec. JUNIOR YEAR. In the early Fall the Class was well represented in the boating interests of the College. Two of the Class sat in the University Boat. Our Class contributed largely to the enjoyment of the Thanksgiving Jubilee, which proved to be the last one ever given by the students. Elliot furnished an operetta, entitled "The Old, Old Story," Tom Hedge an ode, and the Secretary introduced different members of the Faculty to the audience. The last farce on the programme, however, was too much for the better sentiment of the College community, and the Faculty abolished the time-honored institution. Only once since then has it been revived. In 1878 the graduates residing in New York City and vicinity held a Jubilee at the Union League Club Theatre, now known .is the University Club. On the 25th of November, 1865, the first number of the Yale "Courant" was issued under the editor- «hip of C. C. Chatfield, of '66, with Buckingham. Davenport, L. Hall and Smyth as assistants. This was an enterprise that proved in many ways of great advantage to the College. It supplied a long-felt need amons? the students, containing all the College news from week to week, and by its spicy articles and just criticisms it rounded off many a sharp corner in College politics and customs. At the commencement of the year, on January 20th, 1866, the Class elected Bruce, DuBois, Dunning, Hartshorn and Woodward editors of the "Yale Lit." Under their management the magazine thrived and the articles contributed were of more than usual merit and excellence. During the same month the Class voted for their Cochlaureati or Spoonmen, selecting the men from the three Junior Societies, Psi Upsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Alpha Delta Phi. Three from each of these societies were chosen, as follows: B. Allen, Goodman and Stoddard from Psi Upsilon; Adee, Bissell and Reynolds from Delta Kappa Epsilon; J. M. Allen, Hulst and G. P. Sheldon from Alpha Delta Phi. J. M. Allen was selected to receive the Wooden Spoon. The Spoon Exhibition fully endorsed the good judgment of the Class in this selection. During the latter part of the month of May, Flanders, Bishop, DeForest and Hulst were chosen As- sistant editors of the "Yale Courant" for the coming year. Xone can forget the visit from Daniel Pratt, the "Great American Traveler," as he used to style him- self, and his oratorical speeches that he was wont to make on the Old State House steps. Prof. Bailey told us that we would do well to imitate him. No matter on what subject "Daniel" would deliver himself — whether on the "Beacon of Light or Mental Mirror," or on the "Cartesion Corpuscularian and Peripatetic Philosophies"' — he always had the same way of ending up: "Let posterity inscribe it in monumental brass, that no such orator has spoken since the days of Balaam's Ass." SENIOR YEAR. The Class had only just assembled at the College to commence the studies of the last year when the news reached us of the death of Harpin Meigs Lum, who was accidentally drowned August 30th, 1866, at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. This was the fourth death the Class was called upon to bear during its College course Appropriate resolutions were drawn up by a Class Committee, a copy of which was forwarded to tlie family of the deceased. During the Fall of the year the Class was well represented in the boating interests of the College. "Lam" Palmer, as stroke of the "Glyuna," made the Harbor races in the Spring and Fall of '66 in the fast- est time on record. Death seemed to follow us, for hardly had we passed the Fall before word was brought to us of the death of Samuel Dyer Allen, who left us the preceding June. He died December 14th, 1866, of typhoid fever. This made the fifth and last death we were called upon to sustain as a Class during the course. Ap- propriate resolutions were drawn up by a Class Committee, a copy of which was sent to the family of the deceased. During the second term. Senior Year, after a close vote, John W. Showalter was chosen Class Orator and William H. Bishop Class Poet. In May these subjects for the Townsend Compositions were given out to the Class: I. Modern English Poetry, compared with the Poetry of the Seventeenth Century. II. The power of ideas contrasted with the power of individual men. III. The effects of the Puritan Rebellion on the English Constitution. IV. The future of Russia. As many as twenty-five or thirty members of the Class competed. The successful competitors were Burrell, Dunning, Hedge, H. Sheldon, Vincent and Woodward. On the 24th of June the speaking for the DeForest Gold Medal occurred. Burrell and Dunning spoke on subject I, the others on II. At the conclusion of the speaking the medal was awarded to Burrell. Class day was June 26th, 1867. At 10 A. M. in the College Chapel the Class assembled and listened to a poem by Bishop, followed by an oration, entitled "The Educated Man as a Citizen," delivered by Showalter. At its conclusion a parting ode, composed by C. L. Allen, was sung. At 2.30 P. M., on the Campus, in front of Old South Middle College, the Class formed a circle and lis- tened to the historians of the several divisions as they traced the individual peculiarities of each member. The Historians were Chittenden, Elliot, Kitchel and Spencer. Without disparagement to any of the others, Chittenden produced the best history that has ever been delivered on an occasion of this kind. So far as the Secretary is aware, only one member of the Class has fulfilled the predictions made of him at that time, for on each reunion of the Class since graduation he has not failed to voice the sentiments and teachings of the Faculty. The sky was overcast, the air moist, but it was in keeping with the feelings of the Class on that day of farewell, when every eye was tearful. After planting the Class Ivy and serenading the different mem- bers of the Faculty, '67 closed its College career. SUMMARY. Compared with other classes, '67 in scholarship had the "Golden Mean." The ability of the Class was well distributed. The interest in the prize debates was kept up better than in either the Class preceding or the Class following ours. About 30 men competed for the "Townsends," an unprecedented number. Our Valedictorian took the highest stand ever taken at Yale up to the time we graduated.. The Class' age (aggregate) was 2,246 years, 11 months and 4 days; average age at Presentation day, 22 years, 2 months, 28.6 days. The youngest man (H. G. Landis) was 19 years, 22 days; the oldest man (G. R. Carrington) was 29 years, 8 months, i day. The Class birthday is the 27th of March, 1845. The total height of '67 was 569 feet, 3 inches; average height, 5 feet, 7.64 inches. The shortest man was T. Greenwood, 5 feet, 2 inches; the tallest men were E. W. Clarke, G. P. Shel- don, J. \y. Showalter and H. Weston, each of whom measured 6 feet i inch. The total weight of the Class was 14,484 lbs.; average, 143.4 lbs. The heaviest man (G. P. Sheldon), 187 lbs.; the lightest (E. Robinson), 115 lbs. At time of graduation only one wore spectacles, while eight used glasses. Of the men whose fathers were College graduates, Spencer and VVetmore's fathers and the father of Wetmore's wife were classmates at Union College in the Class of '22. The fathers of Beecher and Brainerd were classmates at Yale in the Class of '22. Johnston and Seymour's fathers were classmates at Vale in 1835, while Tallman's father was in the Class of 1837. While a number of the Class had fathers or brothers who had graduated from Yale or been connected with other colleges, five of the Class were especialy prominent in this respect: The Secretary heads the list with a grandfather, father, two uncles, three brothers, six nephews and one cousin. Adee and Kitchel come next, the former having four brothers and a son, while the latter has three brothers and two nephews. Taft had a father and four brothers, while Coe had a father, uncle and two cousins. The Class graduated on July 18, 1867, with 64 appointments, embracing 4 Philosophical, 7 High Ora- tions, 11 Orations, 12 Dissertations, 10 Disputes and 20 Colloquies. With the exception of the Valedictorian, no remarkable individual high stand was taken, but the average scholarship of the Class, including the appointment men and those who failed to receive appoint- ments, was better than that of many of the Classes that had preceded ours. While we had few high-honor men, we also had few low-stand men. ROIX OF HONOR. E. W. Clarke, Private Sixth Oliio Battery. Ira S. Dodd, Sergeant Twenty-sixth New Jersey Infantry. Geo.

In the Spring of 1870 circulars of invitation to the reunion were sent to all members of the Class, graduate and non-graduate. In response to this invitation, the members began to assemble in New Haven as early as the 13th of July, and from that day to the 20th, the date of the reunion, they continued to arrive in large numbers until, on the evening of July 20th, 1870, just sixty-seven members, graduate and non-graduate, had assembled in the city, as follows: Graduates. — Adams, Adee, T. Allyn, Beecher, Bliss, Bishop, Bissell, Brainerd, Brother, A. B. Brown, L. T. Brown, Cannon, J. H. Chapman, Chittenden, A. S. Clark, Coe, Collins, Comstock, Davenport, Day, De- Forest, Dexter, Dunning, Eddy, Elliot, Goodman, Greenwood, Hart, Hartshorn, Hedge, Hulst, Jennings, Johnston, Keeler, Lamb, Landis, Merriam, Morgan, Morse, Xolen, Payne, Peck, Porter, Robinson, G. P. Sheldon, H. C. Sheldon, B. Smith, Spencer, Stedman, Stoddard, Swan, Taft, Tallman, C. S. Walker, H. W. Walker, Warren, Wild, Wilson — 59. Xon-Graduates. — Bigler, Bishop, Budington, Cleveland, Durfee, Fowler, Spraguc, Van Schoon- hoven — 8. Total — 67. THE BUSINESS MEETING. At 12 M. of the 20th a business meeting was held in the President's Lecture-room. Payne was chosen chairman. Eliot, acting as secretary, nominated Spencer to preside at the supper. This was ratified by the Class. Morse was appointed Class Secretary. It was voted that the Class meet in 1873 to celebrate its Sexennial. An adjournment was then taken until 8.30 P. M. SUPPER. At that hour the Class again met at the same place, and, after singing a few songs, marched to the New Haven House, where an excellent and bountiful supper had been provided. THE CUP CEREMONIES. At 1 1 P. M., supper having been finished, the doors were thrown open and the room was immediately filled with a brilliant audience of ladies and gentlemen to witness the presentation of the Silver Cup. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Warren, with the Class Boy, then entered the room, accompanied by three lady friends of the family. Mr. Spencer, the President, made an address of welcome; the Class then sang the Cup Song, composed by P. B. Porter, after which the President introduced Hedge, who made the Presenta- tion Speech. (This was by far the finest speech ever delivered at a Cup Celebration.) Mr. Warren replied, thanking the Class on behalf of himself and Mrs. Warren and their son Walter, and assuring them that both he and Mrs. Warren would see to it that the boy should learn to love and re- vere '67, and hold himself responsible to us just as he would be to his parents. The president then pronounced the "benediction," and the audience withdrew. The Class, resolving itself into the Committee of the Whole, proceeded to respond to the TOASTS OF THE EVENING. I. "Alma Mater," Taft; II. "The Class of '67," Payne; III. "Theology," Dexter; IV. "Law," Lamb; V. "Medicine," Porter; VI. "Teachers," Jennings; VII. "The Married Men," Merriam; VIII. "The Bachelors," H. W. Walker; IX. "The Business Men," Brother; X. "The Absentees," Goodman; XL "The Class Dead," Dunning; XII. "The Non-graduates," Sprague. 12 Then followed the "irregular" toasts, in which the Secretary introduced the Faculty, followed by short addresses and remarks by most of the members present. Nine rousing cheers and a vote of thanks were given to Elliott for his efforts in regard to the Triennial, and at 4 A. M. the meeting adjourned. The Class then marched to the Library, and, gathering round the Ivy, sang the old Ivy Song to the tune "Oft in the Stilly Night," by Elliot. After nine rousing cheers for '67, the Class dispersed. SEXENNIAL. The Sexennial meeting of the Class was held in the City of New Haven, Conn., June 25, 1873, in ac- cordance with the vote of the Class at their Triennial. BUSINESS MEETING. At noon on the 25th, a business meeting was held in the Athenaeum. Reynolds was called to the Chair. The Secretary not being present, Elliot made a few general remarks in regard to the evening's ex- ercises and nominated Lamb for President of the evening. The Class ratified this and then adjourned. SUPPER. The Class Supper was held at Redcliffe's, corner of Chapel & Temple streets. The following members were present: Graduates. — Adee, C. L. Allen, Betts, Cannon, Davenport, Drake, Elliot, Hart, Ingham, Jennings, Lamb, Morgan, Morse, Nolen, Partridge, Payne, Porter, Reynolds, Skeels, Tallman, H. W. Walker, Warren, Wetmore, Wild — 24. Non-Graduates. — Bacon, Benedict, Bliss, Hobson, Huntington, Spellman — 6; making in all 30. After an interchange of College greetings, the Class sat down to a well-spread table. Grace was in- roked by Rev. J. W. Partridge. The Class Boy, Walter Chester Warren, recited a piece of poetry prepared for him, after which the President called the meeting to order and made a few opening remarks, which were followed by short ad- dresses from the different members present. The meeting was entirely informal, with the exception of Elliot's speech. Jokes and College remi- niscences, interspersed with songs, enlivened the meeting. The Class voted to meet again in New Haven in 1877 to celebrate its Decennial. At 3.30 A. M. the Class adjourned to the Ivy, where, after singing a song and embracing "Hen" Walker, the members dispersed. DECENNIAL. The Decennial meeting of the Class of '67 was held in the City of New Haven, Conn., June 27, 1877, in accordance with the vote of the Class at their Sexennial. BUSINESS MEETING. The Class met at noon in the President's Lecture-room. There were about 25 or 30 members present. The meeting was called to order by the Secretary, who nominated Elliot as Chairman of the meeting, which was carried. The Secretary moved that G. P. Sheldon be appointed to preside at the Class Supper in the evening. This motion was seconded and carried. A tax of $10 was then levied to defray the expenses of the supper and the publication of the Class Record. On motion of Mr. Cannon, it was voted to hold the next meetine of the Class during Commencement week in the year 1882. The Secretary informed the Class that the supper would be held at the Tremont House at 9 o'clock, and urged a prompt attendance. After singing "Bingo" the meeting adjourned. 13 By a vote of the Executive Committee of the Faculty, Rev. Charles T. Collins represented the Class at the meeting of the Alumni on the morning of Wednesday, the 27th. THE SUPPER. Promptly at 9 o'clock the Class assembled at the Tremont House and, headed by the President and Secretary, marched into the dining-room and took seats around the well-spread table. The following mem- bers were present : Graduates.— Adee, C. L. Allen, Allison, Baldwin, Beecher, Betts, Bishop, Brainerd. Bruce, Cannon, Carrington, Cartwright, Coe, Collins, Comstock, Davenport, Dexter, DuBois, Dunning, Eddy, Elliot, Gamble', Harding, Harper, Hartshorn, Ingham, Lamb, INIann, Merriam, Morse, Porter, G. P. Sheldon, Stedman, J. A. Swan, Tallman, Turrell, Vincent, Wetmore and Wild — 39. Xon-Graduates. — Bacon, Spellman and Sprague — 3. Total — 42. Grace was said by Rev. Boyd \'incent, after which the Class paid attention to the supper. The toasts were almost entirely informal, old reminiscences were recalled, and a very enjoyable even- ing was passed. Among the items of interest in the Secretary's report was a letter from Payne, written from Paris, which was listened to with the deepest attention. At its conclusion the following cable dispatch was an- nouced : "Vale College, Xew Haven. To Morse: "I join in drinking Vale and '67; we appreciate better to-day the worth of both: "Payne." Elliot delivered an obituary tribute to the late Henry Weyman \\'alker, and Merriam spoke in regard to Alexander Johnston. Bishop delivered a poem. A vote of thanks was extended to Elliot and the Secre- tary for the manner in which they had performed their duties and for the services they had rendered the Class. Short addresses were made by the different members present. The Secretary introduced the Faculty, and, after the singing of College songs, the meeting broke up at 4.30 A. M. The Class formed and marched through the Green to the Lyceum and around the Library Building, and halted in front of the Ivy, sang a song composed by Porter, entitled "The Dear Old Class," to the tune "Those Evening Bells." Nine rousing cheers for '67 and the members separated. QUINDECENNIAL. Our Quindecennial meeting was held at Savin Rock, at "Hills' Homestead," on Tuesday evening, June 27, 1882. The meeting was wholly informal, some twenty-five members being present. Adee presided. Hartshorn spoke for the Clergy, Mann for the Doctors, Spellman for the Law, Bruce on Literature, Morgan on Business, Dexter on Yale, Davenport for the Married Men, and J. A. Swan for the Bachelors. Some pleasant interchanges were had with '76, who were celebrating their Sexennial in an adjoining room. The Class voted to meet again in 1887, and the meeting broke up at 12 M. VIGINTENNIAL. In pursuance with the vote of the Class at their Quindecennial, in 1882, the Vigintennial meeting was held in New Haven, Conn., June 28, 1887. BUSINESS MEETI.XG. At noon on the 28th the Class met in Divinity Hall, some 35 members being present. The Secretary called the meeting to order and nominated Brooks as Chairman: 14 The Secretary announced that the Committee had selected Hedge to preside at our Class Supper in the e'vcning, and moved that the apjiointment be ratified by the Class. Seconded and carried. Adee moved that a committee of five be appointed by the Chair to draw up resolutions of sympathy in regard to those of our classmates who had recently died, and that a copy of the same be sent to the relatives of the deceased. Adee, Baldwin, Elliot, Lamb and Vincent were appointed to serve as such com- mittee; after some discussion in regard to the resolutions, it was moved and carried that the Committee report through the Class minutes and transmit a copy of the same to the families of the deceased members. The Secretary informed the Class that the supper would be served by Delmonico in "Brothers" Hall, and urged the Class to be promptly on hand at 7 P. M. After an interchange of Class greetings, the members adjourned to Battell Chapel, and listened to an oration by Burrell on "The Thinker" and a poem by Bruce, subject, "A Nooning; Yale, 1887." During the afternoon most of the Class attended the Yale-Harvard ball game, some remained on the Campus, and a dozen or more, who had brought their wives and children with them, introduced them to the Class, and this proved one of the pleasantest features of the occasion. SUPPER. Promptly at 7 o'clock the Class gathered under the tent in front of Alumni Hall and ascended the familiar steps leading to "Brothers," where the banquet had been prepared. The tables were arranged in the form of three sides of a hollow square and were beautifully decorated. Fifty-eight were present, as follows : Graduates: Adee, Baldwin, Beard, Beechcr, Bissell, Bishop, Brainerd, Brooks, Bruce, Burrell, Car- rington. Chapman, Chittenden, Clark, Coe, Comstock, Davenport, Dexter, Dodd, DuBois, Elliot, Gamble, Goodman, Greenwood, Harper, Hartshorn, Hedge, Ingham, Lamb, Mann, Merriam, Morgan, Morse, Nolen, Peck, Porter, G. Sheldon, H. Sheldon, Skeels, Stedman, Swam, Tallman, Turrell, Vincent, Weston, VVetmore, Wild, Wilson, Wright — 49. Non-Graduates: Bacon, Benedict, Bigler, T. H. Edwards, Hazard, Marks, McKinney, Spellman, Sprague. — 9. Total, 58. At the close of the repast the President, Thomas Hedge, made one of his characteristic speeches, in which the glory of the old College Fence was enlarged upon. Speaking on this subject, he said: "And don't you agree with me, boys, that we learned how to be men, how to be truthful, how to be square, how to be honorable, how to give value received, right on that fence? I think the best education we got in College was what we got from one another. That is what I value about Yale College, and that is what I came here to suggest, that the big thing about Yale College is the life that used to be on the 'fence— the influence that you and I used to have on one another." The only regular toast of the evening was delivered by Burrell, "The Class of '67." Speeches were made by nearly all those present, and the meeting was unanimously conceded to have been one of the best '67 ever had. One of the pleasant features of the meeting was the large attendance — the largest '67 ever held, except the Triennial. We had lost 17 by death and yet out of a possible 87 we had 58 present. The dinner was the best we ever had, and many members of the Class so reported to the Secretary. For this the Committee was worthy of all praise— particularly Adee, for his personal efforts in attending to this part of the programme. It is but just to say right here that great credit was due to Wild for his untiring and prompt assistance. He was delegated to provide accommodations in New Haven for all of the Class who desired them. This duty he fulfilled with rare good judgment and ability. Other members who rendered excellent service in communicating with the Secretary about absent members were Baldwin, Peck and Vincent. The Secretary moved that the Class meet in 1892, which motion was seconded and carried. 15 REPORT OF THE QUARTER CENTURY MEETING. BUSINESS MEETING. At noon, on the 28th of June, 1892, the following members of the Class as- sembled in Old Chapel ; Baldwin, Bissell, Burrell, Butterfield, A. S. Clark, Corn- stock, Dexter, Dunning, Davenport, Carrington, Chittenden, Lamb, Merriam, Morse, Nolen, Perkins, Small, Spellman, Stedman, Turrell, Wright, and others. The Secretary called the Class to order, and nominated Mr. Davenport for Chairman of the meeting. This motion was seconded and carried. The Secretary then stated that the Class Committee had seen fit to select Mr. Burrell to preside at the dinner in the evening, and moved that the Class ratify this appointment. This was unanimously carried. Mr. Dexter then brought to the at- tention of those present the matter of the Alumni University Fund, after stating that a circular letter would be sent to each member of the Class. Mr. Comstock moved that Mr. Dexter be requested to present the matter of subscriptions to this Fund ; at the dinner in the evening, this was so ordered. Mr. Lamb then moved that Mr. Dunning represent the Class at the Alumni dinner to-morrow afternoon. This motion was seconded by the Secretary, and carried. The Secretary stated that the dinner would be held in Brothers' Hall, at 7 P. M., and asked that the Class be promptly on hand at that hour. The meeting then adjourned. WM. H. MORSE, Secretary. During the afternoon some of the Class attended the Yale-Harvard ball game. Some strolled around New Haven exchanging experiences with one another, and some took it quietly at the New Haven House. 16 THE DINNER. Promptly at 7 P. M., the Class met at Alumni Hall, and, headed by D. J. Burrell, the president-elect of the evening, and the Secretary led the way to the dining-room in Old Brothers, in Alumni Hall. Here the Class sat down as follows : Butterfield. Dodd. Hartshorn. Eastburn. Bacon. Ingham. G. P. Shelden. Dexter. Carrington. C. S. Walker. Beecher. Weston. Brainerd. Spellman. Morgan. Davenport. Comstock. A. S. Clark Nelson. Wild. Greenwood. Wright. Harper. B. Smith. Turrell. Bigler. Nolen. McKinney. Tallman. Merriam. Perkins. Lamb. N. A. Chapman. Dunning. Hedge. Bissell. H m Just before the dinner was over, 'yy, who were celebrating their fifteenth re- union in Linonia Hall, paid a visit to '67, and through their representative, Mr. Chapin. made a short speech, presenting the Class with two bottles of Mumm. Dr. Burrell replied for '67, followed by short speeches from Geo. Adee and Tom Hedge. Later '67 returned the visit of 'yy, and Davenport presented them with two bottles of Apollinaris and the good wishes of '67, which were accepted bv Mr. Barnum. 17 ADDRESS BY THOMAS HEDGE, '67, at the Alumni Meeting of Yale University, June 28, J 892. Gentlemen of the Alumni: I suppose, Mr. Chairman, that it was in the mind of the Committee, in selecting me to represent the Class of '67, that, being situated as I am geographically, farthest away from this College, and during our College course also figuratively, most of the time, on the edge of its jurisdiction, that if I should respond and be here, the rest of the class might be considered as present or accounted for. I represent that part of the Class, Air. Chairman, which occupied a sort of conservative position — far enough from the high oration and prize men to gaze upon them without smoked glasses, and near enough to those reposeful souls, those philosophical souls, below first or second dispute, who were always in dread of that dislocation and deposi- tion which was imminent. Being somewhat experienced in the presentation of excuse papers, fervent and sometimes effectual, possibly I may be able to say something that will contain a measure of truth concerning this Class of '67. It is true, gentlemen of the Alumni, that we have a feeling of perhaps a little less of charity than that entertained by our distinguished friend of the Class of '52, as we come back to New Haven — a little grain of jealousy for those who are now in possession. We feel that we are the only true supplanters, the original Jacobs, and that this is our .place. We have the same sort of feeling that might have actuated the other son, who was not the prodigal, when he found the best appropriated by those not less deserving, but younger. We regret to miss that fence — (applause) — not merely on account of its architectural beauties, but it represented to us the line of demarcation between the just and the unjust, the elect and those not yet saved. By it we calculated the lines of longitude and the great circles of the whole solar system. That was more than a Rubicon to the man who had not yet entered. It seemed as those heights that veiled the Pacific might have seemed to Balboa, or as that coun- try which he could not enter might have seemed to Moses ; although we were not Moses, and the New Haven House was not Pisgah. We miss also the State House, and the Legislature that used to meet every April at the New Haven House and vote unanimously for shad. I say we miss those gentlemen, but I was pleased to find that their deliberative functions were now assumed by the colored waiters. I miss particularly that clock that used to be. on the old Chapel. I remember how Pitt Holmes and I, one evening — a foggy evening — our watches being in the custody of Shoninger — for in those days not only salvation was of the Jews, but they provided for our more conscious and immediate wants. Pitt lighted a match to see what time it was up there, sixty feet above. It has seemed to me, Mr. Chairman, since, that we two boys were a type of old heretics and heresy hunters, who tried to make out and measure the eternities with a brimstone light. We were like them. We were out too late. f or THK ^ . UNIVERSITY We miss also Professor Loomis' anamometer, that used to be above these towers. The unsophisticated thought it was meant to measure the direction of the north and east and various other winds that passed New Haven. We know it was intended to measure the force and virtue of the prize debates. But, Mr. President, here we find very little change. In fact, I have somewhat the same feeling that I had the other two times that I entered Alumni Hall — somewhat remote and cut off from my base of supplies. I had some interest how in the world I was ever going to get out. I feel so now. But. more than all, we miss the old familiar faces — not only those of the hundred and one of our number who graduated with high hopes twenty-five years ago ; but the urbane, manly and great-hearted Thatcher, the gifted, many-sided genius, Hadley; that President who in his place here served his God and country all his life more excellently and faithfully than his Cardinal namesake ever served his king — the head master of clear thought and plain expression — our Woolsey — (applause) — and the homely and benignant presence of the old Governor of the second division (Porter), whose abounding grace far exceeded our abundant shortcomings and misdemeanors ; whose daily life was illustration and proof of the pleasantness of wisdom's way and that her paths are peace. I say, Mr. President, though we came here with .something of a feeling of jealousy, there is over it all and conquering it all a feeling of brotherhood and of filial affection. As has been said by every one so modestly, our Class of '67 was not a remarkable class, except in the smallness of its numbers. We were only one hundred and four. We have had two poets. They still live, not very actively, but they are still buzzing among the bees. We have gov- erned Rhode Island — the smallest State, to be sure, but those of us who have paternal ex- perience will remember that the smallest is always the hardest to govern. We have one Bishop. We have sent one minister from Dubuque, by the way of Minneapolis, to New York, to rivet the shaking faith of the Knickerbocker Presbyterians. More than all, we have the best example, the best proof, that the college athlete can become the full round American citizen (Adee), a man of affairs, alert, alive, active, sympathetic with old and young, the realiza- tion of the ancient stanza, "Mens sana in corpore sano. atque rotundo." And to show how dif:^ ficalt it is to get the equation of a college boy, I remember one who was a dropped H, a forlorn and rejected aspirate, because he could not be equal to Day's Mathematics, who shortly after, by the vote of an opposing party, was elected and re-elected chief engineer of the Empire State, and by his maintenance of that great highway which the genius of Clinton opened, added new lustre to a name already illustrious in American annals. And as for our lawyers, though I had the gift of tombstones, Mr. Chairman, I should not be able to set forth the solidity of their merits and the deplorable magnitude of their success. We alone, Mr. Chairman, can tell how much we love and reverence old Yale. We rejoice in its prosperity; and whether you call her College or University, whether you call her queen or empress, we are still her children and her loyal subjects. How much we may bring her honor by bright achievement, by fair endeavor, by honest life, we can never know. It remains for those that follow. For in this sea of human life that from generation to gen- 19 eration shines and surges in this New Haven, the energy and vital swing of this Class of '67 cannot be weighed or measured while its sweep is onward, and never shall be until its whitened crest shall fall, and, dying, leave its final mark on the ranks of time. (Applause). REMARKS BY A. E. DUNNING, %ly Alumni Dinner Commencement, J 892. Mr President: The class of '67 cannot address you as the President of their College days, and some of our members have waited a quarter of a century before taking their degrees in order that they might receive them at your hands. They have been slow to insist on the truth as to their deserts in this matter, perhaps because the truth needed to be reinforced by loyal service in the walks of business and professional life in order to justify their appeal. But, sir, you should have heard the sublime confidence expressed at our reunion last night that in you and the present members of the corporation mercy and truth are met together; and if the well-earned honors of our class are now impartially bestowed, you will see how righteousness and peace will kiss each other. We revere our own noble President Woolsey, whose portrait now looks benignly down on us. We honor the memory of the great-hearted President Porter, but our ears have always been open to the march of coming events and the tread of the coming man ; and we have done what we could to prepare the way for your splendid administration. Long before it was settled, except in our intuitions and our vision of the finger of destiny pointing to you as the leader to bring Yale College to the front as a great University, we nearly all married and arranged for large classes of boys to be placed under your care. We appreciate your efforts to reward us by providing that the wives of our boys shall receive honors from our Alma Mater. Our class has done no discredit to Yale. Its work in the world as representing the serv- ice which educated men render society is more varied and comprehensive than we anticipated. It has adorned the professions, it has made honorable place for itself in the world of traffic, and it has opened new lines of business. We have also men who have honored the executive office, who have served in our legislative halls, who preach and practice and guide public opinion through the press and who value their country's honor more than their own success. We are glad also to be able to claim for our class some special service in behalf of this University. Since our day the intellectual guidance given and attainments acquired in order to obtain a degree have been increased, and provision has also been made for better bodies with which to do this work, and our class has a hand in this. We are proud that the blue of Yale has floated in triumph over many an athletic field, and prouder still that her triumphs have always been fairly won by superior strength and skill, and that one of the class of '67 — Mr. George Adee — has been able to do so much to create and foster this enthusiasm for ath- letic sports, to help erect this splendid gymnasium, and build up the spirit which expects to win success in life and strives for it against all odds. Manhood is developed in this growing de- partment of Yale's life. Lord Wellington once pointed to the playground of Eton and said: ■'The battle of Waterloo was won on that field." Many a battle, important in the world's his- tory, and not yet recorded, has already been won through Yale athletics. Most of all, we have learned in these 25 years a profound respect for the teaching and teachers of Yale. We have learned that it is not the chief business of the University to impart knowledge. That can be gained outside its walls as well, and, perhaps, even better than within them; but the work of the University is to gel young men interested in thinking, to give them power to think, and to teach them skillful methods of thinking. We honor your work, gentlemen of the faculty, far more than we did as college students. You make life seem worthy and great in its possibilities. You put backbone into young men, which makes them strong to battle in life and to conquer. You perpetuate learning and maintain the high appreciation for it without which the nation would grow weak. For college men learn here that the education which the college can give is worth more than the highest business success without it. Yale helps greatly to keep our land in peace. For our men and women of public spirit largely fall into two clas.ses ; those who have enthusiasm without experience, and those who have experience without enthusiasm. The first class rush forward in reforms with a zeal un- tempered by knowledge, which for a time carries many with them and rebukes with scorn all whom they leave behind. The other class has been in the fight, has not conquered, has come lO distrust mankind and to despise those who hope and expect that righteousness will tri- umph. We believe it is the glory of Yale that she so educates young men as to combine in them enthusiasm with experience in a way that will last through all their lives; as will give them the abiding conviction that God rules by His infinite wisdom, the broader view of the divine plan for mankind which history furnishes, the charm which springs from just judg- ments, and the persistent purpose which a high ideal inspires. In this, the noblest of all service, we assure you of our confidence, our hearty support, and our strong expectation that your work will abide and will more and more exalt our coun- try and purify the world REPORT OF THE TRIGINTENNIAL MEETING. The business meeting was held in Osborne Hall at 1 1 A. AL, June 29, 1897. Thirty- four members of the Class were present. Mr. Morse, the Secretary, called the Class to order and nominated C. C. Spellman to preside. The motion was seconded and carried. Mr. Morse then stated the object of the meeting. He said that the Commit- tee had waited upon Hon. George P. Wetmore and asked him to preside at the meeting this evening; that in case he could not be present, owing to his Senatorial duties at Washington, Mr. James G. Flanders had consented to act as Alternate. He desired the Class to ratify the choice of the Committee. To that end it was moved and seconded that Mr. Wetmore preside, and that in case of his un- avoidable absence Air. Flanders should perform the office. Air. Davenport then stated that the Committee had chartered a car for the ball game, which started at 2.20. Air. \Mld stated that he had tickets for the ball game. Air. Alorse then called the attention of the Class to a paper published in the mterests of the Alumni of Yale, which contained a good deal of news each week about Yale, and stated that a representative of the paper was present who w^ould make a few remarks. The gentleman who represented the paper stated : The Alumni Weekly was a paper of a high order for a College paper. The aim was to make it as interest- ing to graduates as possible, and this end had been pretty well fulfilled, but could be better fulfilled by having a greater number of subscribers. Air. Burrell stated that the paper was indispensable. Air. Alorse suggested that those who would like to subscribe had better speak to the agent at the door as they passed out. AIr. AIorse: — Immediately after the business meeting, as you will have seen on the cards which I sent you. the next thing is to meet at the steps of the Osborne Hall and have a group of the Class taken. Air. Wild has kindly had charge of ihat matter, and he has arranged with the photographer that if there are twenty- five present, and we have that number — we are thirty-four — the photographer will take the group and charge 75 cents apiece for the picture ; and I think it very de- sirable that all be present on the steps with our best looks on. Our supper occurs at 7 o'clock in the Law School Building, and I would ask Mr. Wild to explain exactly how we get there. I said it was the corner of Temple and Elm, and that is Gov. Ingersoll's house, and we can't get in there. Mk. Wild: — It is on Elm street. Go right out of College street and turn to the right. It is nearly opposite the North Church, between Temple and Elm streets ; '67 has a room on the second story. jMr. Morse : — There is another interesting feature. We have our supper on the second floor of that building, and those of us who were present at the '92 meeting in Brothers Hall will remember that 'jj was present in Linonia, and courtesies were exchanged by both classes. We are now on the second floor of the Law Building and '"jj is on the third floor, and we will have another oppor- tunity of exchanging courtesies. Mr. Wild stated that seats at the ball game had been arranged for the Class to sit all together. Mr Ingham: — Have any arrangements been made for our next reunion? I would like to make a suggestion that our next reunion be held in 1901, upon the occasion of the bicentennial celebration of Yale College. At that time many of the classes will be here, and I think it would be better for us to be part of the general crowd, instead of waiting until 1902. Mr. Mor.se: — That matter came up in the Class of '56, and they decided to hold their meeting in 1900, on the ground that at that time (1901) there would be so many other matters of interest to take up the attention of the Alumni and grad- uates who would come that there would be no time to have a Class reunion, and I think it would be better to reconsider that matter. Mr. Dexter: — I rather favor Mr. Ingham's motion, on the ground that more would be present. I move that the motion be laid on the table, and brought up at the supper. Seconded and carried unanimously. Mr. Morse : — I suggest that we all meet just before 7 o'clock and go to the supper in a body. Suppose we meet on the steps of the North Church at a quarter to seven. Seconded and carried. 23 Mr. Morse: — It has been suggested by the Committee that the names of those present be taken now, so that as each additional name comes up we can tell Mr. ^Maresi, the gentleman who has charge of the dinner, the exact number he can rely on. Mr. Adee : — I move that the Class march from the car into the ball grounds in a body singing "Here's to '67; drink her down." Seconded and carried. Mr. Morse: — I should like to know where we take the car to go to the ball game. Mr. Spellman : — The car starts from Trinity Church at 2 :20 sharp. Let every one remember Trinity Church at 2 :20, and North Church at quar- ter to seven. yiR. ^Mokse: — I move that we adjourn to the steps below and have our pic- tures taken. Seconded and carried. At 2.20 P. M. the Class assembled at Trinity Church and took a car which had been chartered by the committee for the ball grounds. Headed by Mr. Davenport, of the Committee, who carried a large blue silk banner on which were the words, "Yale ; Class of '67," the Class entered the grounds, and were assigned seats opposite first base. They were enthusiastically cheered by the occupants of the grand stand. They were the oldest graduates thai attended the game as a class. Of the game little need be said, except that it does not always turn out that way. Promptly at 7 o'clock the Class met at North Church and, headed by Flanders and the Secretary, marched to the Yale Law School building, where on the second story a room had been provided for '67. DINNER. Addresses at the Class Dinner of '67, June 29th, 1897 : James G. Flanders, the Hon. George P. Wetmore being absent, presided at the meeting of the Class. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen of the Class of 1867, it is certainly not inappro- priate after the lapse of more than a quarter of a centun,-, when we meet to cele- brate our reunion, that one of our Class should make our acknowledgments to the Creator, and I will ask the Rev. Mr. Sprag^e to do so. 24 Mr. Sprague: — Our Father in Heaven, we thank Thee for this reunion of our Class, for the prosperity Thou hast given us in the past; we thank Thee for Thy kind Providence. We recognize Thy hand of love in all our doings, and we call upon our souls, and all that is within us, to bless and magnify Thy holy name. We ask Thv blessing, for Christ's sake. Amen. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen of the Class of 1867 : I count it an honor to preside over this Class at its thirtieth anniversary, especially in view of the fact that I am one of few to whom this meeting comes as the first reunion since we graduated from Yale. I am aware that were it not for the absence of the distinguished Senator from Rhode Island I should not be in this place, and perhaps I ought not to be in the place at all by reason of my previous absences ; but, gentlemen of this Class, I have been here at every reunion, if not in the flesh, at least in the spirit. (Applause.) I look back to the years which I spent in old Yale as among the pleasantest, the most fruitful, and the most beneficial of any in the life which I have spent, and if I have learned any lesson in those years of contest, it has been that this old Alma Mater of ours qualified us well for the contest, and sent us out upon equal terms with all the world. So, gentlemen, when we look at the Class of 1867, and read its record in the years that have passed, we find that all of the members of the Class have filled honorable positions in the communities in which they live, and that many of them have risen to eminence. Until I heard Brother Burrell this morning in Alumni Hall, I was of the opinion that we were a modest Class (laughter), and I was reminded on that occasion of a story which was told of some of the students of a University with which we have competed, and with which we have had contests in which we have succeeded. In Delmonico's in New York it is said that a gentleman connected with the New York press, not particularly modest, came in one day attended by three friends, and he found plenty of tables at which there were seats for two, but no tables at which there were seats for four, except one at which sat two Harvard -Students, so he asked them to exchange their table and let him sit there with his friends, and they did so. As he walked out he said to the students: "Perhaps you would like to know whom you have accommodated? This is Frank Stockton, the celebrated novelist; this is Lawrence Hutton, the artist; this is H. C. Bunner, of 'Puck,' and I am Mr. Smith, of the 'Daily Union.' " "Ah, indeed," said the Harvard student. "Very glad to hear it. Perhaps you would like to know who accommodated you ? This is Prince Bismarck, and I am Kaiser Wilhelm." Now, I thought by contrast until this morning that we were modest, and I believe still that most of us are, and I won't make any exception of Burrell (laughter), but we have a right here in this banquet hall to-night, when we sit here as members of the same family, to look back over these thirty years, and see what this Class of 1867 has accomplished, and we see that when the great State of Rhode Island wanted a gentleman to fill the distinguished office of Senator it looked to the Class of 1867 and chose for that honored position Wetmore ; and when again the Episcopal Church, or (if I were not in the presence of some reverends who are not of that faith) I might say, the Church in Southern Ohio, wanted a Bishop, they went for that Bishop to the Class of 1867, and chose our Boyd Vincent; and, again, gentle- men, when Grover Cleveland wanted a man to honor the Bench whom did he chose but Showalter, now present with us ; and when, again, one of the most distinguished churches in the City of New York wanted a man to fill its pulpit, and adorn and honor it, whom did they call but Dave Burrell. against whom we have fought, with whom we have competed, but for whom we have long cherished affection and admiration ; and when the State of California, upon the far Pacific Coast, w-hich at the time we were in College was terra incognita, when the State of California wanted one member of the profession of which I am proud to be a member to sit upon the Bench, whom should they call but Jim Allen, who has come three thousand miles to be here to-night. And, gentlemen, I could call the roll of this Class, living and dead, from end to end, and that roll, as I called it. would be a roll of honor. I could refer to our brother Bruce, a creditable and worthy representative of our Government in 1889 in Edinburgh. I could refer to those m.embers of my own profession, who have been dis- tinguished at the Bar. I could refer to those men who in business life have all stood as pillars in the community in which they lived ; but, gentlemen, I will spare you the infliction of a long speech lest none of it should be remembered by you. Perhaps, however, I ought to tell one little story. A lawyer of our city, who for the purposes of this story may be called Jones and who had the reputation of being prolix, had it said of him that he was re- tained by a citizen named Smith to appear for him in an equity case, and this citizen was invited to Mr. Jones's office to listen to the answer Smith was to swear to; and it was said that Jones read the answer and fv-^ad until it was dinner time, and after dinner he read and read until it was supper time. After supper they came back, and he read and read and read until the evening was gone, and then he asked Smith if he could swear to it,, and Smith said he would be damned if he had not forgotten the first part of it. I would, however, say one other thing of our Class : A gentleman, who was a Senior when we were Freshmen, and a Senior when we were Sophomores, a Senior in our Senior year, a member of our Class whom we delighted to honor, respect and love — that gentleman is here to-night, commg here from the Old World, from the City of Munich, which has been his residence for more than ten years, and as I am informed it has been the custom at these reunions to give the first opportunity of being heard to that classmate who has made the greatest sacrifice in coming here to meet us, I ask you, gentlemen, to listen to-night to what shall be said to us by our friend and classmate, Spencer, Mr. Spencer : — Classmates, I did not come here to make a speech. It has been my object in coming here solely to see you once more — to see your welcome faces, and to clasp your hands. In place of a speech perhaps you would like to know something of what I am — what I have been doing — more I cannot tell. You know when I left the Class, for six years I was engaged in the instruction of the deaf and dumb. I chose that as my profession. Six years I devoted myself to that work, working hard, sleeping five hours only, and at the end of that time I thought I would divert my attention from mathematics to chemistry, and for that pur- 26 pose I went to Munich to study. There 1 have been residing ever since. It was hard for me to get away from Munich, but the professors there told me that it was better to come here and welcome those whom I had not seen for so long, even though what I should bring would be but scanty fruit of the harvest of thirty years. After my studies there began I was afflicted with an illness of a very serious nature. Its consequences are still upon me. I suffered so that I was totally deaf for eight months. I lost the memory of all the mathematics which I studied in College — all that I had tried to study for six j^ears subsequent, and many Dranciie> — navigation, for instance — that I studied in College, I have totally forgotten. Work under such circumstances somewhat depressed me But after five years I was pretty well recov- ered, and I thought strong enough to work again. At that time I married and began to work under Prof. vMlinger again, but after two years of labor I broke down once more, and since that time I have been spending my life as well as I could in studying languages, science and art, and wandering from place to place, a useless member of society. (Cries of "No, no.") I thank you for your kindness and generosity to-night in calling upon me, and I wish you all God-speed. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen, I will ask now that you listen to the report of tiie Class Secretary, which probably I should have asked for before. Mr. Morse then read his report. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen, what action do you take on the report of the Secretary ? Motion made and seconded that it be accepted with thanks, and that the thanks of the Class be tendered to George Adee, Davenport, Wild and Morse. Carried. Mr. Flanders: — Gentlemen, in the winter of 1896, in the City of San Fran- cisco, Jim Allen told me that he was coming on to attend this reunion in 1897. I was therefore not surprised to find him here when I arrived yesterday, and I know that it will give pleasure tO' us all to hear from him to-night. Mr. Allen : — Boys, I am not much in the speaking line, and j'ou can scarce expect one of my ability to make a speech, but perhaps you would like to know how I feel towards the Class, and how delighted I am to get back to the Class. It is thirty years since I have been here, and I have seen very little of you. There are two things about Yale that I have noticed, and that have made a great impression upon me; one is the democratic spirit that pervades Yale, and as I walked around the buildings here on Sunday morning on the old South Middle, I remembered how I took my pitcher, and filled it, and brought it in to have a bath. Boys, did you go to prayers Sunday morning? I always did, and never went in my night shirt, either. (Laughter.) But I was just wondering whether this luxury springing up here will 27 not expel this democratic spirit. If there is anything this country needs now it is this demo- cratic feeling. Another thing, I hope the time will come when Yale will take an mterest in primary education. I am deeply interested in that, because, living in the country, I have to think how to educate my five children, as I have discovered that the masses receive very little education. I have had the misfortune to become an amateur farmer, notwithstanding Greeley's example, and I have had the same experience as Greeley, and that has added to my desire to have primary education spread, because to see the incompetency among the laborers is really remarkable. It is simply because the farm laborers want training, and unless we take a hand in this, and see that these people are properly trained, and early, too. before they arrive at the age of twelve, unless we give them all the education we possibly can, I believe this country will not be a Republic for very many years more, but that the power will come into the hands of the strongest. There is another thing I noticed in Yale; it is the gentlemanly feeling, and I must say that when I first went out into the world it did not redound to my advantage, because I supposed that when I left Yale I should find just as many gentlemen in the outside world as I found in College, but I soon had my eye teeth cut and I learned that a gentleman in the outside world is a rare article. Those two things I have noticed in Yale, and those things have influenced me. Another thing. I have never formed the friendships since I have been out of College that I did here. I have friends outside of College, but I never have had the same feeling — I do not feel as free and homelike. I cannot feel towards them as a friend as I do to the men of Yale, and it is a great delight to come here. I have come here especially to meet you. I had made up my mind that nothing should prevent my being at this meeting. It has been a great pleasure to me to meet you. and find so few of you that have changed from my remembrance of you. I sincerely hope that I shall meet you all thirty vears hence. Mr. Flanders : — Some of us at least who have spent four years in Yale have been struggling pretty hard to make a living — some have made a competency. We have with us to-night a gentleman who, I think, was only with us one year or a little more, who, in the thirty years that have elapsed since we graduated, has placed himself in such a position that he has nothing now to embarrass him, ex- cept the difficulty of spending the money that he has made, and, with such slight education, such slight opportunities in Yale, he is a living example of the great climate which we have in the West, which makes people grow, and grow fast, and grow large, and grow well, and I ask you, gentlemen, now to hear the experiences of our brother Nelson, from St. Louis. Mr. L. C. Nelson : — Friends and Classmates : I am away off in many respects from the happy place in which you have put me, and in which I would like to be. I was here five 28 years ago, and I am very glad to be here to-night and to meet a great many people, amongst them those whom I did not see here five years ago ; but in the last thirty years — it is more than thirty years since I left Yale, and those whom I met here at that time I am pleased to meet here to-night. They have been years of hard work for me, and these meetmgs here arc oases in the years of work. Since I left the Class I can say that my life has been one of close application to business. I have now retired from active life, and a very pleasant life, in the banking business. I may say here that it has been a most pleasant busmess, and I advise you all to go into it. I am now living in the suburbs of our great city, which rests on the banks of the Mississippi. I can look down on the smoke and turmoil under my vine and fig tree, and know that I am in the peace and quietude which is always the reward of the virtuous and good. Mr. Flanders: — Gentlemen, I feel very sure that during these thirty years no member of the Class of '67 has thought of the City of St. Louis without a warmth of feeling towards Charley Goodman, one of the leaders, if not the leader in his profession in that city, I am informed that all the Federal judges in that Federal Circuit (the largest Federal Circuit in the United States, comprising, T believe, nine States) are patients of Dr. Goodman, and they are not only all alive, but their lives are insured until the end of the next century. I ask you, gentle- men, to listen to Dr. Goodman. Dr. C. H. Goodman : — Now, I have no speech to make, boys, but I was really beginning to feel a little badly after hearing all the professions spoken so highly of in connection with this Class by our distinguished Chairman — all, I say, except the medical profession. I was beginning to feel a little badly, but I take it all back, when I look around and see Darby Mann, and Bob Allison, and I dont know of anybody else, who has got into this medical profession — (Cries of "Landis") — yes, Landis, poor Landis. and Porter — I am not going to let that profession go by default. You know what Darby Mann has done — done for himself, and done for the medical profession. (Applause.) There is not a medical man in the country who does not know the name of M. D. Mann for what he has done in medical science. Now, Darby Mann has not only done this for himself, but for society, his family, and for the Class. I think that what any of us have done is not only for his own selfish purpose, but for the general good of those with whom he is associated. Now, I need not tell you about Bob Allison. Bob has written himself on the hearts of every man here. It gives me pleasure to talk about Dr. Allison. He is an honor to himself and to his class. I have scratched along and managed to make a living. I have a boy in college who does not owe any money, I think, and he is a pretty decent sort of boy. We are a modest Class, and I like to get back here with you fellows — some of you are younger than I am, but I doubt if any of you have a younger heart than I have to-night. I had to look two or three times at some 29 ot the men before I recognized them, but when they spoke of old times I remembered them — they were just the same as when they sat on the fence. We are all boys to-night again. I have not words to tell you how I have been affected in the last forty-eight hours since I have been in New Haven and met you all, and I feel as though I should like to have a big pair of arms and take you all in and tell you how much I love yoit, and I think that is the real thing — the sentiment that is born here in College. It is just what Jim Allen says about the friendships we made in Yale. I like to tell j'ou this to-night — I like to confess it. It is no sign of weakness, and if we have grown to be fifty or fifty-five years of age it is no tumbling down from our dignity to say how much we love each other. Although at St. Louis we are a great distance from you we have kept up the Yale spirit. And we have at St. Louis Tom Hedge. A good many of you fellows don't know Tom Hedge. (Cries of "Who don't know Tom Hedge?") You don't know Tom Hedge since he left College. Tom ain't what he was, but Tom is everywhere a type of all who go out of Yale, after all. He belongs to Yale alumni associations in Chicago and in St. Louis, and in every other State in the Union where he could go. He has a passport to every alumni association that I know of. Now, as I said. I cannot make a speech to you, but I want to thank you for the kind words you have said, and tell }'ou again how much pleasure it has given me to see you all — those with gray heads, those with gray beards, those who are rich, and tho.=e who are poor. (Applause.) Mr. Flanders: — Gentlemen, when I first left my home, a boy of fifteen years of age. for the preparatory school at Exeter, New Hampshire, my home being in Milwaukee, it took me four days and four nights to reach Exeter, and at that time the City of Minneapolis was two or three days beyond us towards the frontier. To-day Minneapolis and its sister city, St. Paul, make a great center, from which radiate large interests. One of our classmates made his home at Minneapolis, and he has come that distance to visit us. Mr. Beard will now speak to us. Mr. H. B. Beard : — About a week ago I received a letter from a friend of mine, who was a Yale man, but not of this Class, and in it was a clipping from the New York "Tribitne," and with my family around me on the veranda I took it out and read it. It spoke of the distinguished Class of 1867 and some of its members. I read and re-read it, and it did me good. It reminded me of a story my father used to tell. A family had a bright boy, who grew up, and after a time became Governor of the State. The family were very much pleased, and after election one evening they were sitting around the fireplace, discussing the good fortune of the family, and of Tom. They were talking over the matter, when an old colored woman, a slave who belonged to one of the family, sitting there with them at the fireplace, arose and said : "Oh. pshaw, nobody but our Tom !" Now, when I read of the distinguished men of our Class I rejoice that I am a member of the Class of 1867, and when I come back to-night I rejoice that with all the distinguished men with whom I am sur- rounded to-night I can say, after all, they are nobody but the boys of '67. When I see the old boys I can read of the men, and can rejoice in the Class, and with the community at large. I say I can rejoice when I read about what the distinguished doctor of divinity is doing, what the jurist is doing, what the physician is doing. I come here to-night with my heart filled with joy to see the old boys, and to know them as I did in 1867. It does me good. I have seen the ups and downs of life. I have seen the hard side of life. I have seen the other side of life. When I take the hand of a man who has been in Yale I feel as I never feel when I take the hand of any other man. I feel as if I took the hand of a brother. I feel that if I were in trouble, and could see a Yale man, he would sympathize with me. We are all boys together to-night. I feel strong to-night in spite of the troubles I have been through. I feel as Lincoln did once when he was having difficulty. He stood up and said : "There is a man here ; there is a man there ; here is a man, and every one of us is a man, and not ashamed of his record or of his life." I do not know of a man in Yale but who is an honor to the community in which he lives. He is always a gentleman and a man at all times. Now, I have looked forward to this time with a great deal of pleasure, and I will go out of this place strengthened. I feel as if I could battle with the world. After I come here and meet you men I go out stronger; I do not care what I meet, because I know that there is a man here, and I got that manhood at Yale. I feel to-night that I can go out again for the next five years, and for the whole five years I shall look forward to another reunion. We shall have perhaps twenty years more of life, and what cannot be accomplished in that time? What a power in this world the boys of '67 will be twenty years hence. We are not old men yet. Let me say once more I am glad, brothers, to meet you to-night. (Applause.) Mr. Flanders : — There used to be a good deal of mvisic in the Class of '67. I believe there is some left, and I think we might have a song. I will ask George Adee to start it up. Mr. Adee sings the "Cork Leg." Chorus by the Class. (Great applause.) Mr. Flanders: — Gentlemen, it is said that at one I'rie an Englishman and a Yankee were travelling in the State of Colorado, and iho question arose as to whether Englishmen had any sense of humor in them, or were capable of compre- hending anything humorous. The American said they had not, and the English- man disputed it. Finally they came to a little blacksmith shop with a sign which said. "Four miles to Bitter Creek. If you cannot read go in and ask the black- smith." The Yankee began to laugh. The Englishman asked what he was laughing at. The Yankee said, "You cannot see the joke. I told you so, but I will set up the champagne if you can see it by 12 o'clock to-night." That night the Englishman woke the Yankee out of a sound sleep, telling him he saw it. 31 "What do you see?" "Well/" said the Englishman, "I see the joke." "What is it?" "Why, the blacksmith might not be in, you know." Gentlemen, the next classmate who will address you is not an Englishman, and his name is Tom Hedge. To say that you do not know Tom Hedge is to confess yourself un- known. Mr. Hedge : — Well, I do not feel much like seeing jokes or exhibiting any ; I have been considerably sobered up in coming back here, but I am much rejoiced to find that I am not an old man yet. In this last five years I have sometimes suspected that I was getting old, but in the last few days I have found out that a man never needs to get old. When I came here last Thursday I saw Ingham with white hair, but he is the same old Ingham that we used to know. I saw many more heads that I did not see so distinctly thirty years ago as I do now ; but I have not found anybody in the Class of '67 who has worn out his old College feeling. He may have put it away ; he may not have been conscious at all times in his life that it was governing him and controlling him, and making him stand straight in this world, but it has been a sort of outer conscience to him, which has never deserted him. I see that every one of us has that same outer conscience, that same Yale feeling, which comes right back and takes possession of him, and makes him a boy again, perhaps a little wiser, but I do not know and do not care : we have been wise enough to be good and true to each other — that goodness and truth which is the best gift that Yale could give us. The boy who was a good boy to his classmates has been a good boy to his neighbors, to his wife, and to his boys and girls ; and these Yale meetings — these kind words spoken to one another, spoken heartily and sincerely, as they always have been in my experience, because I have got it to say right here and now — and I have belonged to two classes in Yale College — I do not remember a time when I was not treated with all kindness and sincerity by every man in Yale College with whom I associated, and nobody can tell what a bankrupt debtor I have been to the courtesy and good will of you all. Now, I have got a boy here in College, and the only thing that bothers me is this suggestion that somehow or other the old spirit is not here. I do not believe it. I believe that the Yale spirit is going to live here forever. I believe that our boys, who are succeeding us, are going to be just as true to themselves and their neighbors, and their country, as we can be. It has given us all extreme pleasure to see this old Jim Spencer coming back from the Old World the same true Jim Spencer he was thirty years ago. He has done me more good to-night than any minister in any church has done in the last five years to this assembly, and I do not throw this out as a challenge, because it will not be accepted as a challenge ; it will be agreed to. Now, I say to you fellows, those who do not come to these meetings often, come often. And, Air. Chairman, you have been one of the worst, you have all the facilities to come, and all the transportation — your pocket full of it. (Laughter.) You Yale fellows with your knowledge of the world, do not let this Cockney spirit get possession of you, that the United States is located east of Albany. The United States of America owns east of Albany, but the United States of America is located 32 and has its throne in the Mississippi valley, and you fellows want to come out there and see how we live. Mortgaged ! Yes, but we can pay it if you only give us time. Bob Ingersoll ?aid once, a friend of his was standing on the hank of the Missouri River and he said : "The Missouri River is all right, only give it time.' Now, then, 1 want you to come west and see the Rocky Mountains and Milwaukee, and Anheuser Busch in St. Louis, where every educated man thinks A. B. stands for Anheuser Busch. We have an association there of over two hundred people, and they can tote the Anheuser Busch. We have an association in Chicago of, I do not know how many Yale men. We have an association in Minneapolis. Ya'e College has taken possession of the Western country, and you fellows have been living here thinking that you were Yale College and the United States of America. Boys, I thank you for the attention you have given me, and for the responsive kindness with which you have met me from the time when I came as a Sophomore in 1864, and I hope to see you again for fifty years more. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen, we have heard from the profession of the law, we have heard from medicine, we have heard from hankers. We have with us to-night one classmate whom I have not seen for more than thirty years, and yet he looks as he did in Yale in those days, except that he is grayer. He has come to us from the land of alligators and oranges — Sprague, from Tampa. Rev. F. M. Sprague : — I think it was Dr. Holmes who said once that he was seventy years young. That sentiment has been often expressed, but if anybody asks me my age I feel like saying that I was fifty-four years young. I often wish to spend my life over again. A fellow in Cambridge was very much surprised to read his obituary notice. The neighbors came in to learn the particulars. At length the situation became intolerable, so lie went to the editor of the newspaper which published the obituary and asked him what it meant, showing him the notice. "Ah, it is a mistake, I see," said the editor blandly, "I should think it was. I am not only alive, but I was never better in my life." "Oh, yes," said the editor. "Well, what do you propose to do about it?" "Do about it?" said the editor. "Yes. this is intolerable. What do you propose to do about it?" The editor said: "Well, we will make it all right. We will put you in the list of births, and start you over again.' I think, perhaps, some of us would like to be started over again. Most of. us have done what we could. I have not done as well as some of the class. I have kept track of certain ones in my section. I have been well acquainted with Dunning and Dexter, who are widely known as editors and authors, and Bruce first on the lecture platform. I know Burrell. and Walker lived in my section; he has done splendid work in the pulpit and in science. I had occasion a year or two ago to ask for a good lawyer in Springfield, and I was told that Spellman was the best lawyer in Western Massachusetts. The question with me is whether I have done the best I could, and I think I can truly say that notwithstanding my sins of .33 omission and commission I have tried to do the best I could. We have all of us by this time learned from experience the truths of life. We do not want any authority to tell us that we are bound to be true to ourselves without injuring others — that God does not settle up with us every Saturday night — that that man lives honestly who lives best. I have not been here for some time, and I am somewhat amazed at the changes here in Yale — fifteen new buildings and four millions in money as a gift within the last ten years. If I remember rightly the present graduating class numbers 279, and changes equally great have taken place in the character of the text books, and especially in the methods of instruction. I read not long since that Greek was no longer required at Harvard. I do not know how it is in Yale. To think that a man can go through Yale and get his degree without ever having seen a Greek grammar ! We all learned at Yale to get superficiality. I think I learned that here in Yale. It seems to me that this is the curse of much of the modem thinking. Assump tion seems to me to be substituted for verity. Verity is at premium. Revolutions are readily accepted on mere assumption, and on evidence, too, that logically makes our old poet turn over in his grave. There is one statement which was made by our Secretary that has been alluded to this evening, and that is that the average attendance at our class reunions is more than that of any other class in proportion to the number of graduates. That is an astonishing statement : one reason is that we have had a better Secretary than any other Yale class. (Cries of "You are right there.'") But is it the class spirit? I can hardly think that will explain it ; it lies deeper than that. (Mr. Sprague was interrupted here by the visit of the Class of 1877. who came into the room singing, "Here's to good old Yale, drink her down.") Mr. Adee proposes "Three times three for the Class of 1877." (Cheers.) A member of the Class of 1877 proposes "Three times three for 1867." (More cheers.) By a member of 'tj: Gentlemen of '67, the Class of '"JJ has been having so good a time that it wants to find somebody who is having a better. It is looking for somebody who is younger who knows a good thing. When a man gets to be forty-two he thinks he is old until he gets to be fifty. None of us have yet got to be fifty, as you can see — none of you are thirty or forty, as we can see by looking at you. We have brought in this testimonial, which you can see is still cold. (Holds up a bottle of champagne.) This is the expression of our cordial feeling for all Yale men. I take pleasure in passing this on to the Chairman, who, I understand, sits at the head of this table, and may it do you much good. (Members of '"jy. "Here's to '67, drink her down.") Mr. Fl.wders: — Gentlemen of the Class of 1877 (cries of "We are here") : I am. as the representative of the Class of '67 and with their full approbation, delighted to welcome you 34 f^ OF THK ^\ : UNIVERSITY i here lo-night, and to say to you that the keys to our hearts are yours, and their chambers are for you to occupy. The gentleman who acted as the spokesman for '"JT, with all the ability which we know that class had, both in College and since, seems to have been remiss in his attendance upon the lessons that were inculcated by the tutor or professor whom we called Gibbs, for he seems not to understand the first principles of arithmetic, when he thinks that the Class of '"j"] is younger than '67, for I venture to remind you, gentlemen of '"JT, that under that system of arithmetic which prevailed when we were in College, six and seven made thirteen, and seven and seven made fourteen, and thirteen is younger than fourteen. No. gentlemen, we are your juniors to-night, and as your juniors we delight to honor you, and to welcome you to our hearts and to our festive board. (Cheers.) A member of the Class of 'yj proposes "Three times three for '67," to which '67 responded by singing "Here's to 'jj, drink her down." Mr. Sprague (continuing) : — Now, the coming in of this class just illustrates what I am about to .say, that it was not strictly good fellowship or the love of Alma Mater that is the secret of this bond between us. It lies deeper than that ; it is the consciousness that we are co-workers with the Almighty Himself in the development of the human mind. Here is the real secret uf the good fellowship which exists here in Yale. I have come a long way to attend this meeting — some twelve hundred miles — and I have been richly repaid for coming. I am going directly back to my work there, and this meeting will remain a bright spot in my mind. If I live I shall be here at the next reunion. I feel very grateful for the cordial reception that I have had personally, and I close by wishing every member of the class continued prosperity and happiness. (Cries of "Good".) Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen, I live in what one of the Class has been pleased to call a suburb of Chicago — some eighty-five miles north of it. Many things have been claimed for Chicago, but I never heard it said that it was noted for its modesty, but you have heard to-night, and this morning, that the members of the Class of '67 are distinguished for their modesty, and one of our Class, as modest as any of the 104 that graduated, or of the 165 who at all times were members of our Class, is a citizen of Chicago, and a citizen in the profession in which Hedge and myself and others have been engaged, and we know that a lawyer in active practice is rare indeed who can follow the fortunes of his client without incurring some hostility. One such man there was in the city of Chicago, and President Cleveland, in the exercise of the discretion vested in him, chose him to fill the hon- orable position of Circuit Judge of the United States. John W. Showalter, a judge, a citizen, a lawyer of whom all lawyers in the City of Chicago speak well, and whom they were glad to see appointed to the bench — a judge whose adverse de- 35 cisions are accepted by lawyers as strong, able and persuasive, will now speak to you. You will listen to him, gentlemen, as attentively as we of the Bar in his cir- cuit are accustomed to listen to him when he speaks from the bench. Hon. John W. Showalter : — My dear Classmates : I cannot think of a blessed thing to say in the way of a speech to-night. I thought until just before I started to come out here that I was not destined to come out here at this time. I made up my mind all at once yesterday morning that I would get on the cars and come, so here I am. So far as my experience goes, it has been customary when a speech has been requested of a fellow for the presiding officer to indicate something of the sort beforehand. Now, Morse did not tell me that I was expected to make a speech here, and I had not thought of anything to say. Of course, it flashed through my mind that I might be called upon, and I tried to think of something, but I became so mixed and tangled up that I got nothing straight, and I really do not feel fit to make any intelligible speech to-night. I came out here to see the Class once more as a Class — as an organization — and I find that it has stood the disintegrating force of thirty years quite strenuously. I judge that from the statistics I have heard here of our reunions, and' how our meetings compare with other classes. I came here to pay my respects to the Class of '67, for one purpose, and I came to see each of my classmates who should come here, face to face again, and to take him by the hand, and I came, of course, also to see the old university town. I find that the town has grown almost out of my recollection. I traveled down this street here that runs between us and the University to see if I could find the old place where I roomed, and I declare that I could not identify the house. It was somewhere near here towards the Sheffield Scientific School, but I do not know where now. Gentlemen, I wanted something better to say, but perhaps I may say. as well as any- thing else, that I am very glad indeed to see you again. Your faces retain some of the old familiarity, and as I look around begin to look again like those of the men that I knew here thirty years ago. As it has been said by our distinguished President here, I live in Chicago. I am still a single man. I have no establishment there to invite anybody to, but I shall always be glad if any of my classmates who come to Chicago will drop around to see me at the Monadnock, and we will go out and eat and drink and compare notes together. I go to Kentucky sometimes, down to the dark and bloody ground, or Blue Grass region, as it is sometimes called, to ?ee my father and mother, who are still living, but I can usually be found in Chicago, and I shall always be glad to see those of the class who come there. It seems to me that I am not one of those men who have the aptitude to say graceful and amusing things. Of course, as a practicing lawyer I can talk when the subject is before me. and I can talk as a member of the Bar fluently enough, but when I am called upon off- hand I seem to be lost, and I must ask you, gentlemen, to excuse me with these few remarks, and when I come around here five years from now, if your President thinks it worth while, and will signify it to me, I will endeavor to put some things down, and talk as well as I can. (Applause.) 36 Mr. F'landers : — In my wanderings last summer I was at Niagara for a few (lays and met a former resident of Milwaukee, now a banker in the city of Buffalo, and it soon came out that we had common friends, and I inquired with reference to one of our classmates in Buffalo particularly, and he told me that he was the President of one of the principal banks, if not the principal bank, and that he had in the city of Buffalo, as he had in Yale College, a host of friends. No member of the Class of '67 will doubt that one of whom I speak is that royal gen- tleman, Bissell, who will now speak to you. Mr. a. D. Bissell : — Well, boys, you knew Flanders when he was in College, and you believed him to be truthful, and I guess I did, too, but he has made some very inaccurate statements in speaking of me. He did meet a friend of mine in Niagara Falls, and that friend induced Flanders to talk with me over the telephone, so that you can take all that he said of me with considerable allowance. However, I was here five years ago ; I told you several things about myself, and they were disagreeable enough, so I won't repeat them; but I will pick up the record from that time. I am thankful for several things, chief of which are that I am not in States Prison or in the Cemetery, and I am glad that you are all in the same fix, for otherwise you would not be here. I told Morse that I would not be here, for there were some sad things to contemplate after thirty years, but he persuaded me to come. I thought that we had been traveling for thirty years since we left College, and I thought that several of us must be nearer heaven than we were, and I thought that some of us old sinners would get some benefit from our classmates, and con'^equently I made up my mind to come back here. I am very glad to meet you all. I have realized that men seem great when you look at them from a distance, but I never before realized that we had so many distinguished men in our Class as I have realized to-night. I never really thought of our classmates as distinguished men. I knew them as boys, and thought they were getting along about as I was, but I now look at this class in another way, and I am very glad to say so to-night. T am very happy to be here to-night, and also to repeat what Flanders has .said, that I live in the city of Buffalo. Buffalo is the crossroads of the United States : everything goes through our town. Now, I do not want any man to go through Buffalo without hunting me up, and I will do all I can to entertain him. A classmate, Eddy, called to see me; he is not here to-night. He is a very prosperous man, and later his son visited me. I enjoyed both their visits very much. Eddy is a professor in the University of Minnesota, and is a man whom I am proud to know. I hope to see you all thirty years from now. I have enjoyed this visit very much, and am glad to meet you. Mr. Fl.anders: — No one would accord higher praise to the clergy than my- self, of which profession we have so many distinguished members here, and cer- tainly in that profession which I follow I have great pride ; but I would say with- 37 out fear of contradiction that no profession comes so near to the hearts of the peo- ple as the medical profession. Mine concerns the rights of Hfe, hberty or prop- erty ; the mission of the clerical profession is to instruct and to console, but when the wife, or the daughter, or the mother is afflicted in such manner that the peril of death hangs over her, then the heart of the man who is the husband, father, or son is wrung with grief, then he appeals to that other profession to save the life of her who is dearest to him. Of that profession, as has been said to-night, one of the most distinguished members is a classmate of ours. If I were speaking in the presence of strangers I should speak of him as Dr. Mann, but in the presence of his classmates I address him as Darby Mann, and ask him to speak to us. Dr. Mann : — Mr. Chairman and Classmates, I was never very strong at an after-dinner speech — that was part of my makeup that was rather left out ; to get up and talk on an occasion like this was never very easy for me. I think what has been said this evening about the old friendships that we make in Yale is very true. I know that I have not quite the same feelings for other friends as I have for the friends that I made in 1867. There is something which makes them dearer and nearer than any other friends which we make m after life. T think that sentiment has been spoken of several times this evening, and it is that which makes these reunions .so exceedingly pleasant. When I met some of the men this morning I could not quite recognize them, but as I look upon them now their faces seem perfectly famil- iar. I do not know whether it is memory or seeing you for a little longer time, but I think every man here is as familiar as thirty years ago, only a little older. I am very grateful for the kind words that have been said by some of the speakers about what has been done by me in the world. I have managed to get along pretty well in my profession, and I have attributed my success almost entirely to what I learned here in Yale. Success can only be achieved by hard work, and I think I worked harder than most of you. I came to College pretty badly prepared, and I had to work very hard. It was only by hard work that I man- aged to keep up, and I was kept on the ragged edge for some time, and I think it is from that lesson that I learned that success can only come from hard work, and when I got into the medical profession I found it was very true there, and I have followed out that line ever since, for I do not know of anything that demands harder work than the practice of medicine. You must read in order to keep up with this profession, and also do a lot of writing, so that hard work has been the key to the success which has come to me so far as it has. Now, I am not going to say very much, but there is one thought that I have had in my mind for a long time, and that is. that we as alumni should use our influence with the authorities of Yale to preserve some of the old landmarks, which I hear are about to be destroyed. It seems to me that one of the old brick row, old South College, should be left (applause), and should be left for very strong reasons. I believe that in this country we are altogether in too much of a hurry. We want to accomplish results immediately. We are not willing to 38 see a thing grow and become something great in time. Now, we have here in the old brick row something to remind us of the fact that great things spring from small beginnings. Yale College thirty years ago was a very small affair. I was very much struck by the old buildings at Cambridge and Oxford in England, and how long it took them to build it all up. It has not all been built up in a few years, and we, who have accomplished wonders in a short time, should have more patience. I believe that if we were not in quite such a hurry to do it all at once that we would accomplish more in the end. I believe that the old brick row would be a lesson to the fellows in this College of what great things come from small beginnings, and they should be kept as a memento of old Yale. I hope most sincerely that the Class will use their influence that some at least of the old brick row should be left as an object lesson for future generations. I do not know that I have anything more to say, I was not present at the last meeting five years ago, because I was abroad for my health at the time. I worked rather harder than my strength would bear, and so I had not the pleasure of being with you. I assure you that it has been a great pleasure to be with you this evening. We miss some who are not here, we miss them very sadly, but perhaps it is best to bring out nothing but pleasant thoughts, and so I will not refer to them. Mr. Flanders: — There is a game which I do not understand, but which I am informed Tom Hedge knows somethng about, in which two of a kind are said to be an advantage. We have to-night two of a kind — three of a kind — one has just spoken, and we will now hear from Dr. Robert Alison, Bob Alison we used to call him. Dr. Alison : — Mr. Chairman, I was hoping that you would be kind enough to excuse me to-night. I do not feel that I can do justice to myself. I recently met with an accident that hurt me a good deal. You have been very kind to ask me to speak. I do not feel that I am one of those who have carved a large niche in which to put my bust, or any part of me, so far as fame is concerned. It has only been a little scratch in the wall, if it is even that; but what I have done I have worked very hard to do. The fact is that it is only some ten or twi'lve years ago. or a little more, that I looked upon life as a serious matter. Before that it was somewhat of a holiday; I had more fun than anything else. I had a great deal of it, arid all the time, and finally one day it occurred to me that it would possibly be better if I .set to work, and I set to work, and since then I have been working pretty steadily in a very plain and in a very quiet sort of a way. I have made no con-oicuous success, and cannot be said to be known outside of the little district in which I settled, but I think there they know me pretty well. When I was in College I did my work in a haphazard sort of a way; oc- casionally I just got a lesson, quite often I did not; but since this leaf was turned over, some ten years ago, I have had to work pretty hard, but I was in earnest, and I dare say that my training in college, or my acceptance of the training that I ought to have had, did very much 39 to help me to make up my mind to do this thing — to get to work at last — and for len years I have worked very hard ; the measure of my success has not been very great, but still I am con- tent. I used to hesitate about coming on here to meet the class, and to meet you men, be- cause I thought that my career in College had been rather erratic. After all, it took rather a long while to stop those childish things. It is very hard to turn over a leaf of that sort and keep it turned over ; sometimes a little breath of air will turn that leaf back again, and then one does foolish things that we regret. It is impossible that we should all get to the lop of the ladder. The ladder is a long one, and there may be many fellows climbing the same ladder who will keep you down if they can. I have not anything particular to say to-night. I do not like to say anything that would disagree with my classmate who has just preceded me, who has become a very distinguished man in my profession, but I would like to say something in regard to the old buildings which are now occupying the campus here. In a little while we shall have gone off the stage, and other men will occupy the place which we now occupy, and their associations will be around the buildings which are now on the campus. T think it would be very much better for us to accept our fate. Let the old build- ings go, and when the new classes come in they will have these new buildings, and in a little while their associations will be with the new buildings. The old South College never was a sanitary building in any aspect. How in the world men lived in that building and retained their health I cannot see now. It would be very much better to clean the campus off of all those things and let us have new buildings. I think that a question of health is far better than a question of sentiment. You have been very kind in calling on me, Mr. Chairman. I shall be delighted to come again, and the more men I meet the happier it is for me. It is delightful for me to recall old names, old faces, old sports, and I look back on everything with plea'^ure. Some of you men might think that if you were to go over your college course again you would study harder, but I think I would like to go over those years again very much if it were not for those bea.stly studies. Well, I do not know that I want to add anything. (Applause.) Mr. Adee sang "Lauriger." Mr. Fl.\xders : — Frank Hathorn is one of the men who, like myself, comes back to-night for the first time since graduation. His welcome is none the less warm, and we would like to hear from him. F. H. H.\TH0RN : — I did not expect to be called upon to make a speech. I am very happy lo be here, but I am very sorry that I have been away every five years since we left here. I remember one remark that Flanders made when he introducd Tom Hedge : He said that whoever is not acquainted with Tom Hedge is himself unknown, and I have been apologiz- ing to Tom this evening that yesterday I did not recognize him when I first rnet him. He 40 came up to me and shook hands and said, "Do you know me?" but I failed to recognize him. "Well," he said, "I did not have the highest standing in my class, and that is Tom Hedge." Well, all I can say to you all, and I truly can say it, is that I am glad to be here, and I am cnjdying myself so much that I am sorry I have not been here before, and it occurred to me, when you said we were not going to meet here until five 3'ears from now, whether it was such a wise plan, as we are all getting older, and whether it would not be better to make it a little shorter. I will be here at the next meeting if I can come, and renew the old spirit, see the old faces, and feel, as it has been said several times this evening, that there are no inend- ships quite so dear as those that were made at Yale. Mr. Flanders : — We all remember that Roscoe Conkling was not particu- larly friendly to President Hayes, and he said, with reference to him, that "some men achieve greatness, some are born great, and some are born in the State of Ohio." T am not sure whether Frank Baldwin was born in the State of Ohio, but he represents it here to-night, and he represents it well. We will hear from him now. Mr. Baldwin : — Mr. Chairman and Brothers, I am very greatly obliged for what the chairman has said, all of which is wholly undeserved, except the fact that I was born in the State of Ohio. I am proud of having been born there, and proud to have always lived there, except for the short time that I was here at Yale. Much that has been said here to-night might be crystallized into a subject, and called "The Invisible Force at Yale College." It always seems strange — that influence which Yale has upon her sons. Every man who comes to Yale is of the family of Yale, and nothing can give a Yale man more pleasure than to come to these reunions; and the strange thing is that persons can have had connections or associa- tions with other colleges, and then come to Yale, and, forsaking those associations, cleave so strongly to Yale and its associations. An uncle of mine is a graduate of Harvard, but his son is one of the liveliest members of Yale's Fre hman Class to-day. I have a friend born and brought up under the shadow of Harvard, but to-day in everything that concerns the two colleges he is a shouter for Yale. I entered college at the beginning of the junior year and graduated. It took me some time to recover from the labor of carrying myself through here and never going away. I missed the triennial and sexennial reunions, but since then I have attended every class gathering. I am so impressed with the force — this hidden, silent force of Yale College — that I cannot understand, though I do not intend to throw stones at those whom misfortune or accident or disability of some kind has kept from this and other meet- ings — I can't understand why persons who live near do not find one of the pleasures of their lives in attending these meetings. Some of us come thousands of miles, and it seems to me incomprehensible that some who are so shoTt a distance away are not here. It is a duty, be- sides being a pleasure, for me to come here ; and it would be so pleasant to see everybody here, 41 to shake them by the hand, and my only regret is that we are not all present. I personally regret very much the absence of Brooks and Harper, and of Wilson and Porter, of Wetmore, too, whom public duties keep in his place at Washington. All these I regret very much at not meeting, and I hope very much that when the next reunions come all the absentees will be here together. Mr. Flanders : — One of the members of our profession representing the im- portant State of New "York, not a resident of the City of New York, but of a smaller city within that State, is here to-night. I have in mind Fred Small, whom we all want to hear. Mr. F. I. Small: — Mr. Chairman and Classmates, it is with great pleasure that I meet you, whose faces, though somewhat changed by time, bring back to me memories of the days when we were all boys together and our careers were of the future; and assembled here, as we are, after thirty years' contact with the world, and after those careers have been perhaps shaped. I know of no better greeting that I can extend to you than the words that whatever may have been the hardships and the vicissitudes through which we have passed, we can all to-night look back upon the past with feelings of satisfaction. We have all built our castles. We have all formed plans which did not materialize. We have all had hopes which we did not realize, but we have lived long enough to know that many of the things which at one time were so unpleasant and so annoying, and which caused our castles to fall and our plans to fail, were blessings in disguise. We have lived long enough to know that many of the things that came to us as disasters, in after years seem not so bad after all. In a word, we have lived long enough to learn that, being creatures of circumstances, he who receives the lot which the fates give to him is apt to find greater happiness in life than the man who is by the outside world counted more successful, and hence my greeting to you. In coming back to New Haven and meeting you all I miss many faces that were once familiar to us all. I remember that there were four men at one time very closely associated with our class, and who were not members of us, for they were scientifics. They were such splendid fellows that their class did not hold them, and, knowing a good thing when they saw it, they gathered to the Class of '67. In the first place, there was Jim Wadsworth, one of the j oiliest and best of fellows, of whose career as a politician in the State of New York you have perhaps all heard. He has been several times mentioned in the conventions of his party as Governor of the State, and if he reaches that excellent position, and I think he will, his friends in the Class of 1867 will rejoice with him. Then there was Alexander Palmer, wTio, I am in- formed, died several years ago, a great, big, strong man of splendid physique, always quiet, reserved and unassuming. He talked little with his tongue, and yet he had a pair of dark brown eyes that were always talking, and that were always saying such nice winsome things that those that came within their influence stayed there, for they felt that they had one good 42 steadfast friend in Allie Palmer. Then there was Jack Strothers and Doc Fleming, of whom I have not heard since I parted with them so many years ago; and I think it was "Doc" Fleming who gave Bissell here the opportunity for making the first pun that was ever perpetrated by the Class of 1867. The Class was at dinner, and. as usual, witty questions were being asked, and some one inquired how to concoct a Yale punch, and Bissell volunteered an answer. He was quite correct in every respect except that he forgot to mention ice, and "Doc" Fleming inquired, "How do you cool it, Bissell?" Well, Bissell thought a minute and then said, "Well, after you have got it mixed you put it on the table, and I come along and drink it up, and you think it very cool." In the words of our classmate in those days it was considered a good joke. There are a great many others who are not here to-night, some of whom have gone to the world beyond, and there is no one whom I remember with more regret than Sheldon Reynolds. When I came to New Haven he was one of the first acquaintances fhat I made when I came to the Class, and from the first I considered him one of the best, if not the best friend that I had in the Class, and from that time until I heard of his death there were few things that I looked forward to with anticipations of more pleasure than the occasion which should bring him and me together again. He was always sincerely generous and sympa- thetic to everybody, high and low, and he was always in good temper. He was one who inspired in everyone whom he met feelings of respect and love, and I did respect and love him as I do now his memory. My friends, while those who are absentees to-night we miss and would gladly have with us, I sincerely hope that we may all be spared to come again together to ex- change friendships under the old elms, not merely for five years more, but for many quiri- tennials yet to come. (Applause.) Mr. Davenport: — Mr. Chairman, the pleasurable relations which have in the past existed between 'yj and '67, which they have renewed to-night, lead me to- express, I am sure, the wish of every member of this class, that we may show to them, as they have shown to us, that the tie that binds us to the University is as strong with us as it is with them, and I move that you select a gentleman of the Class to express our feelings to them, and that we go with him to emphasize our friendship for 'yj. Seconded by Mr. Morse. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen, you heard the motion ; those in favor say "Aye" ; those opposed, contrary sound. Carried unanimously. Mr. Flanders appointed Rev. Mr. Burrell to speak to 'jj. Mr. Burrell refused and nominated Davenport. Mr. Morse: — At the last meeting Davenport replied. I think Dave ought to do it this time. 43 Mr. Flanders : — Mr. Burrell's appointment stands. Air. Burrell is handed a bottle of champagne, and the Class follow him up- stairs to '77's room, where he addresses them as follows: Mr. Burrell : — I have brought with me the greeting of '67 to the Class of '"j"]. With this greeting I have brought this mysterious thing (holds up a bottle of champagne), which 1 call you to witness I do not recognize in any way. As a clergyman and as a member of the National Temperance Association, I feel obliged to say that I do not know what this thing is. I had an assistant once who felt very ill, so I laid him on the sofa and left him with the sexton. He was unconscious at the time. He was President of a Prohibition Society. A physician administered some brandy with a spoon, and after awhile he regained conscious- ness. He looked at me and said: "Doctor, I call you to witness that I do not know (hic^ what this man is giving me (hie)." I beg leave, sir, to present this bottle of castor oil to you with the compliments of '67. We have not as big a bottle or as fine a ribbon, but we bring with us just as much heart as you brought us, and the Yale spirit is still thumping hard against our ribs. We have had some difficulty in recognizing each other as one by one we have come to town, but to-night the old boy faces of thirty years ago have come back to us. An artist of New York, a great many years ago, called on Rosa Bonheur, and they traveled and painted together. They came to a beautiful landscape in Scotland where cattle were crossing a brook. Years passed by and the two artists separated. A year or two ago they met again in Paris, and the New York artist saw in Rosa Bonheur"s study a picture of a Scotch landscape, and he thought he recognized it. She told him it was a picture of the cattle and brook in Scotland which they had seen so many years ago. She told him she had not sketched it, but had carried it with her in her head ever since that day. To-night it seems to me that the blessed landscape of Yale has been kept in our heads ever since, and as one after another has said to-night, it is nothing but the old boys that we see in our reunion. God bless you. gentlemen of 'tj. I present this bottle with our best compliments. 'yj sing "Here's to '67, drink her down." Davenport proposes nine cheers for 'jy, which are given. The President of 'yj called upon his classmate, Mr. Barnum, to express the feeling of his Class. Mr. Barnum :— Well, gentlemen of '67, the Class of 'tj was never prolific in orators; we haven't any. Every man here has spoken except myself; they postponed calling upon me until the last, hoping that they might not have to listen to me. We accept this "drug," which Dr. Burrell has so solicitously presented, with some doubt in our minds whether or not he has not this evening departed from his custom of limiting himself strictly to castor oil and soothing syrup, as it does not seem possible to us that anyone under such laxative 44 inspiration can so delightfully bring us in union with you. If he has not been absorbing some spirit which goes into a bottle, I am sure that he has imbibed enough of the old Yale spirit to thoroughly release his tongue, if that were necessary, for those of us who know him know that it is always ready, spirit or no spirit. We are always close in our hearts to the Class of 1867. We remember five years ago that we said as long as our reunions lasted we would as far as possible unite in celebrating old Yale. You spoke a little while ago of the place that we hold in your hearts, and presented us with the keys to your hearts. Some of you have been in our hearts for many years, one in particular, who stands for all that is best, not only in Yale sports, but best, we know, in Yale men. Those of the Class of ''J^ who have been brought in contact with him, and who have learned to know him, appreciate and love him, and if you had no other claim upon us than the one claim of having developed in Yale George Adee— (cheers) — we would love you all for what you have done. Our hearts go out to you, and we pledge you that five years hence those of us who are here and are alive will meet you again. Three cheers are given for '67 and three cheers for George Adee. Mr. Adee : — Gentlemen, I wish only to say that I am very grateful for the sentiments which you have expressed, although I am entirely unworthy of any such exalted opinion on your part, and if I have been of any service to you or to Yale you are freely welcome to it. The Class of 'jy then gave "Three times three for '67." The Class of '67 then march to the room below. Mr. Flanders : — Gentlemen, the refined and cultured nature of William H. Goodyear while we were in College has characterized him in the life which he has led since he left Yale, and he has made as distinct a place for himself in art as any man in the Class has made in any profession or in any business. The great Uni- versity of Chicago, with the disposition to absorb all that is best in the United States, has called him to its service, and he is connected with the Art Institute in Brooklyn, and is one of the University Extension lecturers. He has done as much, if not more, than anyone in the United States to raise the standard of art in the localities in which he has spoken, and we shall deem it an honor and a pleasure to listen to him to-night. Mr. Goodyear : — I thank you for your very kind expression. One thing has struck me in listening to your speeches to-night. I have no doubt that you will all agree with me in feeling that Yale owes a great deal to the beauty of the town in which she is, and we ought not to forget New Haven in remembering other things. Those of you who have traveled 45 furthest will bear me witness that there is no town in either hemisphere which possesses its peculiar charm and beauty. There certainly is no town in the world quite so beautiful as the town in which we are, and I think we should consider that and pay tribute to it, and the beauty of the place comes back to me, and I feel it as I always did. I have always said it is the most beautiful town in the world, and I say it now, and I am sure jou will all agree with me. One point was brought up to-night in which we have found a difference of opinion. I will say, however, that my sympathies are very much with Dr. Mann in what he has said about the preservation of one of the old college buildings, and not so much on the ground of sentiment or association. No doubt, as Dr. Alison has said, the buildings which are now existing will have as fond associations in a few years, and may have them already. I think we should recognize the fact, however, that there has been no very distinct advance in the art atmosphere over the old buildings which they will replace. The old buildings arc extremely good art ; they are good color and unpretentious, and I think from the standpoint of artistic beauty that we should be glad to have one of the old buildings preserved, and from the standpoint of historical association and the history of the University it scenes to be very desirable. I am not at all clear as to the addition to the appearance of the campus from the new buildings. My opinion is that the old buildings added more to the ensemble than the new buildings. I have to say about my studies that they have related very close to university life. Although I have been quoted as a student in art I should like to correct you by saying that I am also a student of general history. It is a study which has grown very rapidly in this country during the past twenty-five years. I think it would be well that the sentiment of the class should make itself felt to some extent with regard to the position held by certain members of it, and I am thinking now of Mr. Eddy, mentioned by Mr. Bissell — a gentleman who has a world famous standing in mathematics which has not been recognized by this university. I think it would be well if, in a friendly way, the in- fluence of the class be brought to bear on the degrees which are handed out to various gentle- men, that Mr. Eddy and more of you here should not be forgotten. Nothing has been said about the reputation of the class in music. You all know the genius of Dr. Goodman in that matter. You may not know that a song which is being sung in a room below us was com- posed by Dr. Goodman, and that this song is becoming popular in Yale College. I am sorry (hat Mr. Elliot is not here to-night. We ought not to forget music. More than that. I ought not to omit that among the men here no one is of greater utility than Mr. Morse. It is be- coming in me, perhaps, to say how much I value the work which he has done; we have al- ready expressed that as a whole, but I want to express myself individually to him and to Mr. Adee. and Mr. Davenport, who has given us such a good dinner. I thank you very much for your attention. Mr. Fl.vxders : — The City of Philadelphia has heen for a great many years one of the provinces from which Yale has drawn a large number of its students. In that city we have a classmate of whom we have read ; those of us who are fa- 46 miliar with the "Alumni Weekly" have known that he has been successively the Vice-President and lately the President of the Yale Alumni Association of Phila- delphia. 1 refer to our classmate Ingham. Mr. Ingham : — Mr. President, your expressions are exceedingly kind, but I think at this late hour somewhat unnecessary. I have listened to speeches which have been made in which there has been more or less similarity, in that they have all tended to show the suc- cess with which you have met the labors of life, a good deal like a clergyman — one of our colored brethren — who upon one occasion was addressing his congregation, and he took for his text the prophet Jonah. He described the life at Nineveh, and said that the citizeni- had soured very much upon the prophet and wanted to get him out of town, and they put him upon a ship, and after he had been on the ship a little while a great storm arose, and they thought it was better to pitch somebody overboard as a sacrifice, and they pitched over Jonah, and immediately a great fish arose and swallowed Jonah. "Now, brethren, was that a shark? No, not a shark. Was it a porgie? No, not a porgie." A woman in the back part of the audience, thinking he wanted some assistance, said: "Oh, no; a whale." "Damn you," said the preacher, "for taking the word of the Lord out of my mouth." I think that practically you have taken my words out of my mouth. The remark made by our President with reference to our four years here has given me a thought ; he spoke of them as being years of contest, but perhaps productive of the greatest good that we have ever known. I think per- haps no one of us here would claim that those four years were the happiest we spent, and if happiness in life is the summum bonum, I think we have got to look later on. During the four j'ears that we passed we were so young that it had few if any regrets, and the future was bright because we knew nothing about it; but since we have got on in life we realize the fact that the acceptance of responsibilities and the fulfillment of them by which we developed the best that is in us, and do the most for our fellow man, is that which gives us the greatest hap- piness. I think it is the current feeling that if we could live our lives over again that we could do very much better than we have done. I feel that is my case, and as I look forward to life I feel that my ambitions have grown somewhat gray with my hair. I have gone very largely into interests which are outside of my business, which I told you a few years ago was not the vocation in life which I would have picked out if I could have changed it. Morse asked me to detail whether I had been the recipient of any honors. 1 replied that perhaps I had received more than I deserved. My fellow citizens, I am glad to say, have been exceedingly kind to me. I have been placed upon a great many boards — boards of business, boards ec- clesiastical, boards humanitarian — and I think that one of the greatest honors that I have received is that the Alumni Association has made me its President, and in that position I hope to be able to do more for Yale in a direct way than I have done here. We live in an atmosphere antagonistic to Yale: the citizens of Philadelphia send their sons to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania by scores. It has been a great pleasure to me that I have been able to arrest one son of a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and he is coming to Yale. 47 Another one, a graduate of another institution, is also coming here under my auspices. I have sent one boy here who graduates to-morrow. God wilHng, I shall send another one here two years hence. (Voice: "When are you going to stop, Bill?") I hope that it will be my lot. Bob. to see my grandsons here (cries of "Good!"'), and that the grandsons of Bill, as I have been so kindlj' called, will matriculate here with the grandsons of 1867, and that the great grandsons of '67 will mingle here until '67 passes to the great beyond. (Applause.) jMr. Morse: — It has always been customary at a meeting of this kind to select one of our number to represent us at the Alumni dinner, and 1 take great pleasure in nominating Mr. Showalter to represent us. Motion seconded and carried unanimously. Mr. Morse : — At all thirtieth reunions it is customary for those who repre- sent us at Alumni meetings to sit on the stage with President Dwight. Mr. Fl.anders: — We have another classinate here, a gentleman from the State of Indiana, whose son graduates to-morrow, and I am sure we all wish to hear from a loyal son of Yale, father of another loyal son of Yale. We will now listen to Mr. Parke. Mr. Parke : — In this case I will have to plead guilty of disregard for the ties and affec- tions formed in College. I have stayed away. I have not been here for thirty years, until several letters from Mr. Morse asked me to come, together with the fact that I have a son graduating here to-morrow, and he thought it a shame that I did not come here at least once in thirty years. We all appreciate the value of education, even if not educated. I know an old Dutch farmer who thought that education was a good thing, and he sent his son to Col- lege, and after he had been gone for two or three 3'ears he came back to the farm. He sent the boy to town with a wagon and the boy let the team run away, doing serious dam- age. The boy. however, escaped. The old man was recounting it to me and said: "1 tell you, Mr. Parke, I spent a heap of money getting that boy educated, and the little fool let my mules run away." His idea of practical education had not been met by sending him to that College. I told him he ought to have sent him to Harvard. I told him that if he had sent him to Harvard he would have found something which would have suited his ideas of a lib- eral education. Now. with regard to South Middle, I would like to see that old thing stand. I think it is pretty. Our ideas of architecture come altogether from history and association. There Is hardly anything really beautiful in architecture; it comes altogether from history and from forms that associate themselves in our minds. Now. in that way I think that that old South Middle is very pretty, and, so far as destroying the general plan of the quadrangle, it is so situated upon the corner that when the other old buildings are torn away there will be a sufficient field that it will not interfere much with it. Well, I am glad that Mr. Morse persuaded me to come here. I see very few here I know, for I was in 1866 a few years. Well, it is getting late, and we are going to have some more speeches. I am glad to be here, and I hope I shall be with you all five years from now. Mr. Flanders : — '67, gentlemen, has also provided professors for other Uni- versities, and Professor Perkins, of the University of Vermont, is here to-night. Prof. Geo. H. Perkins : — I have attended but one of the amiiversaries — the twenty- fifth — and I want to say now what I did not say then, that I did not attend the previous anni- versaries because of any thoughtlessness, or lack of attention, but because I simpiy could not ; but I determined at the last anniversary that I would not let another go by. I think I can- not be accused of speaking too extravagantly when I say that the meeting five years ago marks an epoch in my life. My love for the members of the Class has been stronger and deeper than it would have been if I had not attended that gathering. It was my misfortune that 1 was associated with the Clas§ comparatively little, and for that reason I am the more grateful to you for the very cordial welcome you have always given me. Unlike many of you. perhaps, my life has been spent in College circles, and the longer I am in such circles the more I feel the importance of th'e association of such a Class as this. I have done nothing great, but simply the best I could to help those with whom I had to do to true manhood. The inspiration has come largely from this class; the idea of manliness and true democratic manliness, the idea of true earnestness in this life, have come to me very largely from this Class, unconsciously, perhaps, but they nevertheless have come to me, and 1 shall always be thankful for the influence which this class has brought to bear upon my life. I wish my life had been more useful than it has been, but so far as it has been useful and successful one great element in that usefulness and success has come to me from this Class, and I feel that I should not be true to myself and what I have accomplished did not I make this ac- knowledgment of what you have done for me. I have been almost surprised to find how my heart went out to one and all of you when I came here. Certainly I am thankful that I can call j'ou men of '67 brethren, and that you are willing to call me one of yotir brethren. As I look out from my window in Burlington over the lake. I see many wonderful sunsets; I can- not describe them, but I have often thought that the clouds, if we could see them closely, are simpl}^ dull gray mists and the mountains simply gray rocks — the beauty comes from some- where else. And so it is with us ; the influences that come from such a company as this that makes up this Cla=s shine upon our lives and brighten them, and if through the compound in- fluence of each of us we would recollect each of us the beauty and helpfulness that comes from us all, the world will be better, not only because we have lived, but because you and T have been brothers together here at Yale in this Class of '67. (Applause.) Mr. Fl.\nder.s : — Gentlemen, we all subscribe most heartily to what we heard said of George Adee in the room above its. He has made one first-class speech, 49 but he is chock full of a lot more, and we now call upon him to give us another, and I would say that as it is sometimes the custom and habit to give out a text, i will give him a text to explain how it was we were beaten at Poughkeepsie. Mr. Adee: — While oratory is not my forte, the explanation of the defeat at Poughkeep- sie is easy ; we did not row fast enough. I want to say a word about this Yale spirit that we have all talked about. It seems to me that it has practical results. Our individual effort, our organized collective effort, combined with the highest motives, under the best instructors, and with the loftiest aims, under a democracy — the democracy of Yale — such as exists in no such perfection anywhere else in the world, combined with this Yale spirit, have pro- duced the fruits of success and distinction that so many of the Class of '67 have obtained in the pulpit, at the bar, in medicine and in business, and the general standard of usefulness and success which all the rest of the Class seems to me to have earned. It looks very much as if the Class of '67. in the estimation of our faculty and graduates, already stands second to the great and celebrated Class of '53, which has hitherto been supposed to contain more distin- guished men than any Class which ever graduated here. Now, from being a close second, we are sure to be first — first because the Class of '53 has already been forty-four years out of Col- lege, and its surviving members must be getting too old to do much more in this world, while the distinguished men of '67 will go on increasing their distinction, and the rest of us will do the best we can. It seems to me that we can do a very graceful act, and I hereby make a motion that our Secretary be instructed to circulate a petition throughout the class during the current year to give Jim Wadsworth an honorary degree. He is a' son of a dis- tinguished man. Jim and his brother served with credit in the army, Jim himself being on Gen. Warren's staff. He then came to Yale, and I think was in Yale for about two years. He did not work much harder than anybody else did, but he has done well since, and I am told on very good authority that he came within an ace of being nominated for Governor v.ithin the past two or three years. What further thing I have to say is that we ought all to keep in touch with the University all the time, and if we take the "Yale Alumni Weekly" we will keep in touch with the College. (Applause.) Mr. Bruce: — I desire to second the motion of Mr. Adee with reference to Mr. Wadsworth. Carried unanimously. Mr. Flanders : — One other classmate of ours is a Professor in another in- stitution of learning, and he has, in addition to many other distinctions, one which I think none of us has had or can make claim to, and one that perhaps no other Yale graduate can make claim to. I speak now of Professor Walker, whose son graduated at Amherst and took a post-graduate course at Yale, taking the degree SO of Dr. of Philosophy at the age of twenty-two, being the youngest recipient of that degree in the history of Yale. Prof. Walker: — We have heard a great deal about the progression of Yale. There is a query in my mind, suggested by the events of the evening, as to whether the citizens of the city have kept up with the procession, or whether it is that there might not be at least some of them who are guilty of a little retrogression. For instance. Brother Wild assigned me and my wife to one of the houses on Elm street; the landlady received us very kindly, and it occurred to me that perhaps I should not be home to-night by 12 o'clock, and I asked her to give me a night key to the front door. She said she had none, but the gentleman at the head of the table loaned me his. but he suggested that I had better examine the door to find out where the keyhole was. "Is there anything odd about the keyhole of the house?" I asked. The landlady also followed me to the door and asked me if I had any matches. I told her I was not a smoker, but I believed in letting my light shine. She said .she would let the gas burn, and asked me to turn it out. Now, is there anything peculiar about the keyholes of the houses in New Haven which cannot be remedied? If so, we should have some investi- gation made to see if these evils cannot be remedied in some way. I find that there has been progression in the University, yet I find that the old atmosphere is still here. A few years ago I brought down my boy, some eighteen years of age, from our agricultural farm in Am- herst, and he had not been in New Haven more than ten minutes before he got the Yale fever, and he believed that, although Amherst was the most lovely spot, so far as nature had done its work, that yet there was a spirit about Yale that was the spirit for him, so nothing would satisfy him but to come down here to find out what could be learned at New Haven, and so for three years he has been studying at Yale, and will take his degree of Doctor of Philosophy to-morrow, and I believe he is going to remain and teach the Yale Juniors next year, as an assistant in Prof. Boucher's department. What are the elements in the atmos- phere of Yale which produce men like '67! What are some of the causes of the success of our Class? Now, I am an Ohio man. I was born in Cincinnati, and I was crazy for an edu- cation. I went into the army and took my Freshman year there. I went to Marietta College in Ohio, and Prof. Andrews examined me for the Freshman Class, and he said I could not go into the Freshman Class, but could go to the Sophomore Class. I remained there for a year, but, on thinking it over, decided I wanted to go to the best college there was, and I heard about Yale. I looked over the catalogue and said that Yale was the place for me, and next year I started for New Haven, a thousand miles East. On the morning of my arrival I looked out of my windows in the New Haven House, and said to my chum : "What are those long rows of factories over there?" '"Why," he said, "that is Yale College." I found indeed it was a factory, but a factory where they produced men, and for men there is the greatest demand in all the world, and the demand will never exceed the supply. One thing I learned in Yale that has gone with me all through my life — to divide all things mto two classes; first the essentials, and .secondly the non-essentials. I find that the essentials are 51 comparatively few and the non-essentials many. So I have determined all through life to get hold of the essentials, and if I have obtained any success whatever it is through seizing on essentials. Another thing I have found out, that one of the most essential things in the world is manhood. Now, some reference has been made to South Middle College. It seems to me that it ought to remain for many reasons, and especially for this reason — to show that in the gaining of education brick and mortar, stone and architectural adornment, however con- venient, however beautiful, are not essential, because out of those old brick dormitories, in their unsatisfactor}' condition, there went out a race of men who have made the law, who have preached the gospel, who have practiced medicine, who have planted this great territory of ours with institutions from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and who have that most essential thing, man- hood. Architecture is good, but architecture will not make a university, so, unless we have men, why all the luxury which may come to us will only be a curse instead of a blessing. It is with the greatest pleasure that I come here to-night, because I find this same old atmos- phere, the same men who came here full of the effervescence of boyishness more than thirty years ago. And so the Class of '67 has gone out and made its mark through this land of ours. Why has this class of ours succeeded so eminently? When I first went out of this College they asked me what Class I belonged to. I said '67. When we were boys was the beginning of the war. We did not play with those white balls which bound over the village green, but the contest was with cannon balls, and the blood which was shed was not the mere wound in the scrimmage, but it was the heart's blood of the nation. Now, those of us who went through that self-sacrifice were inculcated with a love of country and a love of man- hood which followed us through these years in College, and which we cannot shake off if we will, and this is the cause of our success. I think this Class of '67 will hand down its spirit to its sons and grandsons. (Applause.) Mr. Fl.\nders: — When I saw the first catalogue that was published, and read the name Caspar Shrom Bigler, I was satisfied that the possessor of that name was unique, and my subsequent acquaintance with him has convinced me that my judgment was correct, and I am told that in the City of Harrisburg and State of Pennsylvania he has made an indelible impression. Mr. Bigler: — Mr. Chairman, to-day you have had no fly in your ointment. I am per- haps not more than thirty minutes older than I was when Tom Hedge called me a liar, and as I looked around on the array of witnesses he might call, I pocketed my dignity, and that is saying a good deal for me. too. As the various speeches were uttered, I picked up a point here and there which I disagreed with. Tom said one good thing when he referred to Spencer. I am in thorough sympathy with everything he has said about Spencer. His high and noble and gentlemanly life and character will do much. As to the old college buildings. I am decidedly in favor of the living, and of letting them do whatever they please. It is a 52 pretty difficult thing to address a class meeting after thirty years. You do not know what to say. Paul said that the greatest of all virtues was charity, and he was wrong. There is an- other virtue, far greater than that, that he never dreamed of, and that is justice. With justice in this world we would not have to die to .see the New Jerusalem; it would be es- tablished here. With justice, Mr. Chairman, there would have been no need to take up a col- lection to feed 500,000 of the very poor of London. That is a fact, I think, that has never struck us, and that is a fact that has worried me a good deal, because I have had a pleasant life. I will recite a piece of poetry by Francis Brown (recites it). It might be that when we speak of the atmosphere of Yale we should let our thoughts go out a little further, and think of those who never come within the shadow of that atmosphere. Mr. Flanders : — We are all of us sorry that Dunning is not present to-night, having sailed for Europe a few weeks ago, but another classmate of ours from Boston, a partner of Dunning's, a representative both of the clerical and of the edi- torial profession, and the head and manager and joint proprietor with Dunning of the great paper known as the "Congregationalist," Morton Dexter, is with us. Mr. Dexter : — I wish first to impress the fact, which has been already uttered once or twice, but which has impressed me so profoundly that I would again reiterate it, that it is an intense delight to meet the men whom we have not seen for thirty years. It is a delight to meet all of you, but to come here and see those men whom I have not met for thirty years has touched me deeply. I want you all to feel that the next five years will be happier and stronger years for having met you here. Dunning gave me a message of love for you all, and it was with the profoundest regret that he failed to be here. His doctor sent him away for his health to the other side of the ocean, and so, with the greatest reluctance and regret, he made up his mind to absent himself from this gathering. I am sure he is thinking of us to-night, and if he were here he would tell you how warm his affection is for every one of you. It has been my pleasure to be associated with him for a number of years past. Our lives have been very closely connected during almost our whole career, with the exception of a few years, and for the last eight or ten years we have been co-proprietors and editors of the journal which has been named. I say that there are few men of us all who have met greater success in life than he has met. He has made an international reputation, and is greatly honored in England. As a preacher and administrator of one of our great benevolent so- cieties, and lately as editor, he has made his mark in a way of which you would be proud. His success is due to the fact that before he was an editor or anything elese he was a man. He sent one of his sons here. His son is still in the University, in the capacity of an instructor, and it is a fact of which the Class may well be proud. He is a very remarkable young man, a wonderful fellow, and is going to make his mark in the world, and we all may be proud of him. As for my=elf. my life has been a quiet one — the life of a directing 53 journalist. I have had some honors, but I will allude to but one, because mention has been made of it in connection with some other men. Dunning had been President of the Boston Alumni, and it was my fortune last winter to be honored by the same position. The fear has been expressed here to-night that the old democratic spirit of Yale was passing away. A short time ago I said, in talking to a friend, that the increasing luxury of Yale might de- moralize that democratic spirit. He told me that his father was a day laborer here in New Haven, and that everj'body in his Class knew him. He said that he had graduated this week, and during all his time at College he had been known as a poor man, but that it had made no difference to him, and that his position had been in every respect precisely what he could have wished it to be. He said: "You need have no fear; the old college spirit in Yale is just as strong as it ever was." I believe the Yale spirit will always linger. I know of no other college where the democratic spirit — where the reliance on what is in a man — is so con- trolling as here. I see a great deal of the Harvard men. I have a great affection for them, as I nearly went there. I have many friends and some relatives in the Harvard faculty. My relations are. and always have been, most cordial and pleasant, and yet I thank God that I did not go to Harvard, but came here. The older I get the more enthusiastic I grow for Yale. I have stolen five boys from Harvard and sent them here, and they never regretted it, and I think we ought all to be enthusiasts for Yale, spreading the Yale spirit, not in any underhand way, but simply holding up the tremendous advantages which this University presents. We ought to do all we can to promote the interests of Yale, and I want to call your attention here to the Yale Alumni fund. Some years ago President Dwight appointed me on the board of directors, and that fund, which is intended to provide money for the general pur- poses of the University, is not only exceedingly necessary, but is wonderfully useful. This is not the place to speak on the subject, but I want to remind you of it, and to ask you to give it your serious thought. ^ly heart is full of how glad I am to see you all, and how I hope I may be spared to meet with \'ou again many and many a time, and that you will come to see me if any of you are in Boston. Mr. Fl.\xders: — It is unnecessary;, gentlemen, to introduce the next class- mate, or to tell you what he has done. I present to you Wallace Bruce. Mr. Bruce : — Classmates, in our Freshman year we had a class meeting, and we selected at that time a Chairman. Thirty-four 3'ears have passed b}-, and now in 1897. under the old banner of blue that bears the figures of our class, the man who was selected for that first meeting presides, and we are all proud of Flanders of Milwaukee. Something has been said by several speakers in reference to the old South Middle. It would be too bad to have South Middle go; it is too bad to have it stay. (Voice: "Amen!") The Amen corner may not respond so heartily when I get through with my prayer, for I have a suggestion that perhaps might be worth while for the College to consider. It is in the way where it is. but 54 there are many sites where it would not be in the way, on some vacant lot where it might be shaded by trees that might be ancestral. In some spot, not too remote, there might be taken, brick by brick, old South Middle, and put up again from foundation to garret. I believe that could be done, and it would be an honor to Yale to see old South Middle stand again. South Middle means a great deal, not only to all members of this Class, but to every Class that comes and follows in the long line. Many things have been said of the spirit of old Yale, which brings men from across the sea and gathers them together in one great bond of love and affection. I believe there is one word the key to it all. It was borne back, perhaps, by Professor Goodyear. That one word is "Earnestness" and hearty purpose. I have a boy at Yale in the Sophomore Class, and as I saw his face flush in that Freshman race, and as I saw the pallor come over it when she lost the University, I felt that that quality of hearti- ness and earnestness of purpose would last forever. There has been perhaps more to me in this day than to anybody else here. This day represents more to me than any anniversary of Yale: this is the anniversary of my wedding day. I do not know how many of the rest of you have their wives here, but I know that I could not keep my wife home. Now, permit me to say just one word for myself: perhaps most of you know that I have done as much hard work, perhaps, from the time I came into the class of '67, as any man in this neighbor- hood. I have put in a good hard struggle for what you might call a moderate success in life. I believe in optimism, and I am so thoroughly impressed with it that there is not a bit of my life but that has touched the roseate side. I have been living in a dream to-day, my friends. It does not seem real at all. Old times have come back to me, and it has seemed a sort of poem to me. My wife herself has seemed a poem. It seemed to me that New Haven was a sort of a poem ; then the years when I studied law, it all seemed a poem ; and then the years along the Hudson River, and in the City of Edinburgh — all seemed a poem. (Mr. Bruce then read a poem.) IN THE HARBOR OF DREAMS. Suggested by the story of the phantom ship which appeared to the Rev. Mr. Daven- port and the first settlers of New Haven — probably a mirage or reflection of some vessel far out to sea. Written on the "Richard Peck." en route to New Haven for the Trigintennial meeting of his Class, '67. By Wallace Bruce. Was it a vision or only a dream That far off morn in New Haven Bay, Or a vessel refracted in sunny gleam Miraged afar and melting away. Bringing no message across the deep To dwellers beside Quinnipiac stream. Where tide and current play hide and seek; Was it a vision or only a dream? 55 Vision or dream, prophetic still Of Memory's pier where we sit and wait For landward breezes the sails to fill Of absent brothers who voyage late ; With flag at masthead they sailed away. And pennon reflecting the morning beams, Alas, beyond our hailing to-day, Riding afar from the Harbor of Dreams. Nay, not afar ! In the offing now See a stately ship with gossamer sails, With old-time captain upon the bow. Whose locks are bleached by a hundred gales ; Is this the ship that our fathers knew, Whose legend athwart the century gleams, Returning across the horizon blue To anchor at last in the Harbor of Dreams? And lo ! as we look, behold the Bay Is filled with the craft of seventy years, Piloted sure by the skipper gray As up the channel he proudly steers. Past Light House Point and Savin Rock Onward the long procession sweeps. To anchor beside the old Long Dock, Where Time his sentinel fondly keeps. And faces peer o'er the shadow-y rail Of those we knew in the early prime, While up from the waters the cry of Yale Swells out in a chorus of olden time. It cannot be but the scene is real. As the echoes float from shore to shore. And following close with steady keel. Behold the banner of '24 ! All quiet, boys, the crew is asleep. Only Silliman left at the wheel ; Ulysses-like from the misty deep. While over the wake the shadows steal. Long may the flag-ship lead the line. Stretching away to the century's rim. And the sun of Nineteen Hundred shine. Ere the figures of '24 grow dim ! Onward a proud flotilla of fame By the ship that seems like a judge's stand, Assigning a place to each by name. Where they drop their anchors on either hand. It somehow seems that the captain's face Has an antique look, familiar and hale. For the old-time skipper with =tately grace Bears close resemblance to Elihu Yale. 56 (Applause.) So this was the vessel our fathers knew, Prophetic of all the clays to be, Waiting to pick from all the crew The classes that ever shall "bear the gree." Striving to sift the record well, To know which bore Yale's truest leaven, She listened to what the decades tell. Then wrote the figures '67. Ah. well, but the ships to-morrow will sail. And the phantom vessel again put to sea; The dream of the night the morrow shall pale. The shadows may fall and sunshine will flee. But up from the cares and burdens of life A ray of bright promise in radiance streams, Our happiest wish in the turmoil and strife. To anchor again in the Harbor of Dreams. Mk. Flanders: — Gentlemen, at the business meeting this morning, you doubtless remember the motion which Mr. Bissell made, and which was somewhat summarily disposed of, to the eflfect that the faculty should be brought in. That motion was brought into consideration, and duly adopted, and the faculty are here in the presence of Mr. ]\Iorse. Mr. Morse then introduced the Faculty. Mr. Flanders: — Gentlemen, if the Court was not quite as near as it is, I would say that in our part of the country we have sometimes what ar<; called offi- cers of the Court, and they are said to be the hands of the Court ; some- times the hand is very large, sometimes it is very heavy, and some- times it is very clumsy. We have had at least four hands of this Court speaking for the Class of '67, and we have just seen one very skillful hand, that of Mr. Morse, and we have recognized it in every item of our lives since we have been here, and I believe that to two hands of the Court were committed the duty of providing this banquet — George Adee and William B. Davenport. William R. Davenport is here to-night, as he has always been heretofore, and fills an hon- orable position in his profession in the City of Brooklyn, and is the Public Adminis- trator of that City, and I should say that if he administers that office as well as he has administered this dinner, it cannot be improved upon. Mr. Davenport : — I am reminded of the story of the young man who, having made his first trip abroad, in telling his relatives of its various incidents, among other things said : "I 57 stopped beside a yawning abyss." An old aunt asked him, "Was it yawning when j-ou got there?" I fear that if I say anything you also may be yawning. The "Umbria" is plough- ing her way eastward, bearing a classmate of ours. It was impossible for him to arrange to go on the steamer next Sunday for lack of space, but he charged me that I should bear to you the loving regards of Al Lamb and his sincere regrets at his inability to be here to-night. Al Lamb is now the first jury lawyer of Brooklyn. For myself, in the five years since I have been with you I have served in the Constitutional Convention of my State that re- modeled the Constitution, and I have also had the high honor of becoming President of a suc- cessful Alumni Association of Yale. We, all of us, I am sure, enjoy, as I enjoy, these meetings. I share, I think, one-fifth of the honor of having been at every one of them. While time shall run on, while this success that the members of this Class have been securing shall continue to flow in, may we still remember that we are sons of old Yale, and members of the Class of '67, and that this in a degree accounts for our success. Mr. Fl.\xders : — Although Senator Wetmore was not permitted to be here, we have a representative from httle Rhody in Andy Swan. Mr. Sw-\x :- — Mr. President, I am not a natural orator, and I am rather surprised that I was not called on before, as I was expecting to be called on, and had a speech all prepared, but the other and wittier orators of the evening have stolen all my thunder. I will therefore make a short speech by moving that we adjourn. Mr. Flanders : — That motion is not in order. Mr. Small : — Mr. Chairman, the question came up as to whether we should hold our next meeting in 1901 or 1902. I would suggest that the gentlemen now present decide upon that question. Mr. Davenport : — In the year 1901 almost every son of the University will be here to celebrate its two hundredth anniversary. I think that in view of the mul- tiplicity of exercises, in the general interest and excitement that will take place at the University, that it would be an error of judgment to attempt to hold the class meeting, and I therefore move that we continue the regular course, and that the next meeting be held in 1902. Mr. W. H. Ixgham : — I would like to suggest that a number of our class- mates who come from a distance would find it perhaps a very impossible thing for them to come twice. Those who wish to come to a bi-centennial will not care to come 2,000 miles or 3,000 miles, as the case may be, one year afterwards, and T think it is due to them that we should hold the two meetings at one time. 58 Mr. Baldwin suggests the year 1902, but amends by suggesting that it be left to Adee, Morse and Davenport. Mr. Flanders : — Those of you in favor of the substitute as proposed by Mr. Baldwin, say "Aye." Motion carried. Mr. Flanders : — I understand the whole subject to have been left to this Com- mittee, and I understand from what Mr. Morse tells me that prior to the com- mencement of 1 90 1 the Committee will probably communicate with each member of the class and ascertain from them how many are to be here at that time, and with that end in view they can then determine what their action will be. If this subject is now disposed of we will be glad to hear from Mr. Spellman. Mr. Spellman : — A speech at this late hour, unless you have something to say, is an imposition ; everything that can be said has been said, and it is best for me to say that every- thing that has been said I repeat, and all the glories of Yale that have been recited I now recite and adopt as my own. That I am glad that I am here my presence shows ; that I will come again is .settled. This day last year, when my son took his degree, was the most glorious day I ever spent. I did not take my degree here, and I did not realize then what I lost. Last year when the degrees were given out and I saw my son take his, and I saw tht assembly of honorable men that were there upon the platform, when I listened to what was said, and when my ears heard the music of that glorious orchestra, it thrilled me so that the tears ran down my cheeks. I thanked God that I was permitted to have a son, and that I was permitted to send him to Yale. When anything comes from Yale I am interested in it — standing as I did in the street waiting to hear from the boat race, standing there cheering when I could cheer and feeling sorrowful when the result came. All of us were somewhat interested in the silver campaign. Being a Democrat myself, I had some trouble in identify- ing myself with anything this year, but I could imagine how the question of 16 to i could have been illustrated in some parts of the country, and if I had been called upon to speak upon free silver I am confident that my argument would have been adopted. I will borrow this hat in order to illustrate it. It is free silver we want, and free silver we can have, if you will only follow the proper method. Now, this room is full of silver. If you wish free silver j-^ou can have as much as you want. I see before me money. It is here ; it is there now. 1 put it in the hat. I see another piece there. It stands out on all sides. (Mr. Spell- man does some juggling with the hat and 50-cent pieces.) That is an illustration of free silver. (Applause.) Mr. Flanders : — Mr. Spellman is evidently a money maker and very success- ful, but he is entirely incorrect in one thing, in speaking of this as a late hour — it 59 is just the shank of the evening, and I desire now to present to you a man whom we are always pleased to Hsten to — Dave Burrell. Mr. Burrell: — I do want to say one thing, and that is that I have marked here to-night a very manifest change in the basis of moral judgment among the boys of '67. I look back on our earlier reunions, and I see that we have changed our basis of judgment as to men. There are many here to-night who when they left College we judged from certain arti- ficial standards as to what honors they got, what societies they belonged to. That was all right, gentlemen, but we have found out since that some of the men who neither got honors nor belonged to societies are the best men among us. We are beginning to see things very clearlj', and seeing men as men, not measuring them by any artificial standards which we made when boys. We are boys still, but we have grown in that particular way. We have measured each other here to-night. I do not think a college prize or a college society has been mentioned to-night. We have looked at each other to-night as men, and that is what it ought to be. Now, Bob Alison started to make a humorous melancholy speech to-night. Bob has come a good way, and I bless him for a word he said five years ago. In speaking of two boys that are in college to-day he said: 'T told them to be Christian gentlemen in college. I didn't lay down any rules aboiit card playing or anything else. I have found out one thing, tjiat it is better to be a square man than to be a good fellow." I told him that was a tre- mendous sermon, but that it was the truth. It is a good thing to be a good fellow, but it is a better thing to be a square man. As I have listened to what you have been saying one by one I have thought of what Tom Brown loved so well — Thomas Hughes of blessed memory, the manly adviser of college men : — " Who misses or who gains the prize. Go lose or conquer if you can; But if you fall, or if you rise, Be each, pray God, a gentleman." (Applause.) Mr, Flanders: — In the wild and woolly West we have come to know that New York lawyers think there are not any lawyers outside of the City of New York, and when we come in contact with them we are very apt to think that they are right, and that we are not lawyers at all. Now, we have some of the representa- tives of our profession here from the great City of New York, and we have one who, having made a specialty of patent and trademark litigation, is known all over the country, and that is our classmate, Coe. Mr. Coe: — I am in the same position as Judge Showalter; I can speak from the record, but I cannot make a social .speech. I have never enjoyed a few hours more than I have at this reunion of our dear old class. I cannot say very much. For the last few years I have 60 cali been going along, trying to do my duty in the line of patent and trademark law, and have made some moderate success. My classmates, you must take the will for the deed, for, as I said before, I cannot make a social speech, and I cannot say anything except that I have en- joyed myself immensely, and my heart has gone out to all of you one by one as I have heard you speak. Mr. Flanders : — In Freshman year Bob De Forest remarked in regard to a classmate of ours, "Ira furor brevis est," a liberal translation of which is, "Anger is a brief madness." Now, Ira Seymour Dodd is here, and he applied that term to him, and from his proverbial good nature I am quite sure that it was not an appropriate term to apply to him even in jest. Mr. Dodd: — Well, classmates, after the brilliant display of wit, wisdom and oratory we have heard here to-night, it is very hard for a plain preacher like me to talk, for although it is our business to talk, there are some kinds of talking I cannot do. There are some sorts of vegetables that grow quickly, but it takes a good while for an acorn to become an oak. I have attended the three or four last meetings, and I have been thinking of the great change in the standpoint of this class; I see that we are just about ceasing to become boys and are beginning to be men. We look at life from another standpoint, and it has taken thirty years to make the change. I have been doing my work in the usual way, and, I hope, with some success. I have a boy who graduates to-morrow, and it is a happy time for me to be with you, not only to see you all, but to see my son graduate. I went out in front of the New Haven House last night, and I met three or four of the fellows, and I knew every one ex- cept one, and I think they pla3'ed a mean trick on me, for they stood Flanders up there and asked me who he was, and I did not know him, and, really, I cannot tell you how badly I felt that I did not recognize Flanders, because he was one of the men whom I always think of when I think of the Class of 1867. Classmates, I am glad to meet you here, and I hope wc will have many more reunions. We are bald-headed some of us, but perhaps because the hair is gone — I won't say that we can see into each other's heads more clearly, but we can see each other's hearts. Mr. Wilde said he had the proofs of the pictures taken this morning and passed them around. Mr. Flanders : — I have been trying, gentlemen, to decide between the clerg}- men and the lawyers, but while the clergymen are getting used up the lawyers hold out, and we have Carrington, of New York, whom I know we want to hear from. 61 Mr. Carringtox : — Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I do not know that I can add much to what has been already said. I can say that Brother Showalter struck the keynote of the lawyer speaking outside of his profession, as he said we have to speak from the record. I can say that I have made before juries in New York some speeches which were very good, but I had the evidence in the case before me. Now, on looking around on this Class, I can sim- ply say. that your faces all show that you are men of experience, and that the thirty years' con- tact with the world which j-ou have had has sharpened you up, and that you all seem to me to be brighter and your wit to flow with more readiness than it did at previous meetings. It seems to me. therefore, that this contact with the world has been improving us. We thought our- selves pretty bright on leaving College, but I think we are brighter how. We stand here to- day, gentlemen, after thirty years, and it seems to me that our judgment is founded upon the experience of those thirty years. We see now what we have done in those thirty years, and it was not what some of the men were expected to do. There was an individuality in the Class of '67 which pervaded the whole Class, and I say that it is that individuality of character which has been greatly developed, and we stand here to-day with a record, which is an invaluable one so far as the Class is concerned. I can only say that I am glad to be here, and to meet you all. There is a brotherly feeling amongst us; you can walk up to a man and feel that you can call him Tom, Jim or Dave, no matter how high he may stand in the world. It seem? to me that our record is one that we should be proud of, and I only hope gentlemen, that it will continue to improve, and that we may all be permitted to meet here again five years from now Mr. Flanders : — Prof. A, .S. Clark, of the Hartford Deaf and Dumb Asylum, has been engaged for more than a quarter of a century in the effort to instruct the unfortunates in that institution, and I will ask him to speak to us to-night. Mr. Clark : — Mr. Chairman and Classmates, it has been said here to-night that an Englishman has no sense of humor. Now I wish that Senator Wetmore. who, with myself, has the honor of being a native of England, were here, for I am sure that he would be able to demonstrate that a person born in England can see as far as anyone through a brick wall with a hole in it. Another thing. I am sure that an Englishman of the right sort always knows a true man when he sees one. I certainly can appreciate the manly qualities of mem- bers of '67. Entering College as I did. with a poorer preparation than most of my classmates had. and being limited in other ways. I can yet testify that I have uniformly received from my classmates courteous treatment and consideration. I am also proud of the fact that mem- bers of this class have done and are doing not a little to foster and increase a feeling of good will between America and England. Reference was made by Burrell to the marked advance our Class has made in the past five years. I was about to speak of the same thing. The fact gives reason for rejoicing. I believe that every man in the Class is dominated by a noble purpose to make the most of him- • 62 self, and to do some distinct good in the world. Some years ago, when it seemed as if a slight had been placed on the class, I said to Prof. Northrop (whom we all with good reason admire) : "The class of '67 will be heard from yet." As a class we have perhaps been slow in showing what we can do, but the class is warming to its work, and the next five years will witness a degree of achievement far greater than that of the past five years. I rejoice in all the success that has come to so many of my classmates. Some attained al- most at once a point of vantage, from which they have ever since exerted a powerful and in- creasing influence for good. Others have been gradually attaining to positions of honor and influence. It has been to me a matter of frequent regret that I have been able to do so little to win renown for the class; but for myself and for others who can do nothing remarkable there is comfort in the thought that a man is greater than any work he can do, and that, though he may not achieve greatness, he may fill the position in which God has placed him with fidelity, perseverance and honor. Mr. Flanders : — I would like to hear from Mr. Turrell, a prominent and pros- perous lawyer in the City of New York, Mr. Turrell : — Classmates, perhaps the first thought in getting on my feet is one of relief, for I began to feel nervous, for I thought perhaps the Chairman had mistaken my profes- sion, and was reserving me for a benediction. Perhaps I might relieve my mind by telling why some of us New York lawyers think there are no lawyers in the West ; when you find there are seven thousand lawyers in New York City, it makes one apt to think that there are no other lawyers in the country. I will refer to the youthfulness of '67. If I recollect right, five years ago we adjourned at i o'clock, when some of us thought it should be 12.30. This year the fact that we can keep awake so late is an evidence of the youthfulness of the Class of '67. I can only re-echo the sentiments already expressed. I shall not undertake to reiterate anything that has been said here to-night. If I did I should be endeavoring to speak in a cer- tain sense without a subject, and I should violate the great rule of modern eloquence never to make a speech unless you have something to say, therefore I can only reiterate, ap- prove, and adopt as my sentiments what has been so satisfactorily said. Mr. Flanders : — Having exhausted the clergy, we still have some representa- tives of the profession of teaching among us. Let us hear from Nolen. Mr. Nolen : — I am a very humble member of the profession. I have kept closer perhaps to the academic work than almost any other member of the class. My work is wholly teach- ing the Greek and Latin. I was struck with one remark made by Dodd, and that is that we are just beginning to be men, to act our parts as men, and in connection with that remark, I remember a speech made at the sixth anniversary by our friend Wild. He said : "When we 63 came together at our third anniversary we were boys, but now we are men ; we have been out in the world: we have been jostled about, and now we come back men at our sixth anni- versary." I think we have learned something since then. I came across, on the campus, an old fellow who asked me, "Are you one of the older graduates?" I told him perhaps I might be called so. "Well," said he, "I belong to the class of 1830. I was looking for somebody in my Class, and I cannot find anybody, and I thought you looked as gray as any- body I had seen." I remember that Prof. Woolsey made the remark once that he wished he might be his own grandson. Mr. Flanders : — It may be true, as Turrell says, that there are seven thousand lawyers in the City of New York, but there are certainly not seven thousand as clean cut lawyers as we have here in this room, and I call upon Ernest Stedman to talk to us. Mr. Stedman: — Mr. Chairman. I cannot agree with you that this is the shank of the evening. It is now a little after 3 o'clock, and the next sawbones who speaks here will cor- roborate the statement that this is the hour of the night when the human system is at its low- est state of vitality. I am inclined to agree with Spellman in what he said. I came back here because I delight in coming back here. I delight in the old friendships that we formed at Yale. I delight in the associations of this old town, in the old buildings, and the new build- ings, and I think our class, of all classes, is the last one to find fault with the iiew buildings, and I hope we will have more buildings. I would propose a toast, a paraphrase of a toast that I heard a student say last night : Here is a toast to the old buildings that are spared ! Here is a toast to the new buildings to come. Mr. Flanders : — We would like to hear from Mr. Chapman. Mr. Ch.\pm.\n : It is almost too late for me to add anything to what the rest of you have said. You ask me how I have been, and I say to you I have been up, down, and all around. I do not know what more to say except to second Andy Swan's motion to adjourn. Mr. Flanders: — We would like to hear from Mr. Comstock. Mr. Comstock : — I think we got out a three-quarters of an hour speech from Andy John- son once. You will remember he came out with the two words "ad eundem." I think we are in that condition perhaps, and I want to say that we afe pretty nearly through. I went out from the College with a reasonable amount of Yale spirit. I also want to say that I have inspired my own family to that extent that while one son graduated here some years ago I have a daughter who says she will get her degree of A. B. here yet. I will say that 1 64 have enjoyed the reunion as well as the others we have had. If the Class goes on for the next five years, and our standard is raised a little bit higher, what will we be then? Mr. Flanders : — To one member of this class every member of the Class of '67 is indebted, and that is to Mr. Wild, of New Haven, from whom we wish to hear. Mr. Wild: — My classmates, this has been a delightful reunion. Tears of joy come to me, and prove to me that I love my classmates more than ever. I have two sons, and I trust that I shall live to see them graduate from Yale. I live here in New Haven, and I hope that my life will be spared to meet you here five years hence. I am proud that I belong to '67. In regard to the pictures, Mr. Morse has the addresses of the class ; if those who want them will send word to him he can send the names to me. The price will be $1 a picture. Mr. Flanders : — George Brainerd will now speak to us. The best part of the feast is kept until the last. Mr. Brainerd : — Mr. Chairman and classmates, thank you for the very kind expression you have just given utterance to in regard to myself. It is certainly a great pleasure for me to be present. I think it was Prof. Gibbs who said, regarding a member of our class, that it was not safe for him if he washed to make a good recitation to trust to the inspiration of the occasion. Now, that does not apply to our meeting to-night ; there is certainly inspira- tion enough in the meeting of this class to give words to everyone. It is too late to enter largely into those feelings and thoughts which naturally arise, but to look into the eyes and faces of my classmates here is one of the pleasures of life. It is one of the pleasures to each one of us here that we have been associated in the past so intimately with one another. The class of '67 has certainly made a mark for itself. We are in the very prime of manhood. We may look forward to a noble activity in the ordinarv course of nature. We know not how long for any individual, but the progress will be greater in the future than in the past. Yale College has a great place in our lives. It always will have. It has a great place in this country as an educational institution, and I hope that the spirit which has pervaded the students here, and the graduates wherever they have been, will still continue to be what it has been in the past. I do not keep in touch with the undergraduate life perhaps as much as some of you do, but I hope that any prediction or any fear that there shall come into the undergradu- ate of this institution any other than the true manly democratic spirit, which existed in our day, will prove false. Now. it is indeed a noble ambition to live and work in the world. It is indeed a noble ambition to do that which shall reflect glory and honor in any way upon this institution. We are not all permitted perhaps to take any specially prominent place, but we can shine with some borrowed and reflected light. I am sure we are ever ready and ever joy- 6S ful in the success of any Yale man, and when we hear of the promotion of any man in this institution we are always very glad, but we are especially glad when we hear that that man belongs to '67. I hope it will be my privilege to meet you men many times in the future. Mr. Flanders : — There are quite a number of men in our class who have been and are lawyers, and perhaps more who have been and are business men, but I think that there are few men who have been business men and lawyers at the same time, and our friend and classmate, Tallman, from Hartford, comes under that description, having made a success in his life work, and having identified himself with the institutions of that city. Mr. Tallman : — When a committee has been appointed by a corporation, and it has per- formed its functions, it is usually the privilege of some one to move a vote of thanks upon dis- solving or discharging that committee. I feel as if you, my classmates, had been acting as a committee of the whole in entertaining myself and all my classmates this evening. It has been my privilege to attend all the class meetings. I can truly say that I have enjoyed this meeting fully as much as any of them. The one thing which has added to the pleasure of this meeting to myself, and I have no doubt to each of you, has been the presence of those who have never met with us before. You may remember, some of you. at the quindecennial meeting when we heard Chairman Collins, whom we all loved, and who in his short life added much to the fame of '67. and whose memory will always be dear to the class of '67, speak of those members of the class who were absent, and who wanted to be with us. but who were detained for various causes owing to the ill success they had met with in life, and who on that account did not want to be with those who had been more successful. The period of thirty years is long or short according to the point of view that we get of it. I have been reminded to-night of the class of 'zi when they celebrated their thirtieth anniversary on the eve of our graduation. My father was a member of that class, and at his invitation I accom- panied him to a meeting at Prof. Goodrich's. Who is there of us to-night that feels that we are old, that feels that we have lost any portion of our usefulness in life? Mr. Morse : — I just want to say one word to those who have never before at- tended a class meeting. I want to ask each of them if they do not think it is worth while to come to the next meeting. (All assented.) Mr. Allen stated that Mr. Newlands had sent a telegram to the effect that he expected to be here, but could not get away from Washington. The Class then sang "Auld Lang Syne," and the meeting adjourned at 5 A. M. 66 ALUMNI MEETING, Alumni Hall, New Haven, June 29th, JO A. M., J 897. ADDRESS OF REV. DR. DAVID J. BURRELL. ^ I wanted, Mr. President, to hear more of the older graduates sound the praises of their classes before I should take the opportunity to say anything about the Class of 1867. It is a great honor to be born in New Haven. There is no city in the world like New Haven, with its elms ; there is no university like Yale, and there is no Class that ever went out of Yale like 1867. I am sure if all these Classes speak, as my friend Dr. Chapin spoke of the Class of 1847, it will take the heart out of the younger graduates who are here. I felt that way, gentlemen, when he was speaking of his old Class, but they are not comparable, gentle- men, with the members of the Class of 1867. Every one knows of the Class of 1867. There was only one thing in Yale that we were not thoroughly equipped with when we left Yale Col- lege — we were not properly equipped with wind instruments. The Class of 1867 also was illus- trious for two or three things, as Dr. Chapin said of his. The Class of 1867 was illustrious — not to say notorious — for its democratic spirit. We were all in the Class of 1867 on the dead level of calm superiority. There were no leaders among us, but we were all fighting for the leadership. I see some of the members of 1867 who have been fight- ing; for leadership ever since. There was Bishop Vincent, Wallace Bruce and George Adee, but they were nobodies when we were in College. At the senior elections they took the names of the whole class in three hats, and then drew out forty-five names. I am not sure that that was not a better plan than prevails to day. I am quite sure they got better men. .\nd so it was with the Townsends. The Faculty then just put in the names of the whole class and drew out sixty-seven. It was a great day for '67 when the President announced the Townsends. That is the way the Townsends were given out. There never was such a .scramble for leadership in any class in Yale or anywhere else. There was never anything like it until the combining of those great powers of Europe, which we have marked to-day. Another characteristic of 1867 was its ambition. We were all fighting for honors all the way through. We did not all get honors, but the only reason was that there were not honors enough to go all the way round. We were pretty much all of us defeated for something. Pretty much everybody got defeated in 1867, because they were all running. We had a tre- mendous democratic spirit in our Class. The old practice of hazing died out, I think, with us. There was another practice that came in after hazing went out. It was called "heeling." That is the very spirit of Uriah Heep. I wish the young men would protest against it. If the young men of Yale had some of the democratic spirit of hazing they would not bow the knee to any man. God deliver the fellows of Yale from heeling. One thing more, and I suppose then my time will be up. Our boys were characterized by the Yale spirit. We came before new Yale, but we ushered it in, and there was never a class more loyal than 1867. 67 The old Yale spirit pumps against our ribs more than it ever did before when we come back to celebrate our thirtieth anniversary; 1867 has Supreme Court Judges, Senators and Repre- sentatives. We have Consular representatives; we have distinguished ministers and bishops and doctors, so many that time will not permit even to mention any of them. We are thinking about the boat race. I want you to think about the influence of our class on boating. Nothing but modesty prevents me from going into particulars. I want to keep my class in the back- ground as much as possible. (Laughter.) We are talking about the Bob Cook stroke. God bless the Bob Cook stroke and Bob Cook. That is a good prayer for any Yale minister to utter. We don't care about the country colleges. We came in all right at both races. We didn't import any boat. We didn't import a stroke. W^e didn't import a trainer. We didn't import a college cheer, "'Rah, 'rah, 'rah, Yale; God save the Queen." We simply gave a good Yale cheer, but we got there before Harvard did. If Mr. Lehman is going to receive a degree from Harvard I want to nominate now a man who has had a more beneficent and gentlemanly influence on Yale athletics than anyone else, that modest member of 'd"] who stands behind Bob Cook, George A. Adee, for a title one of these days. (Applause.) I suppose I ought to sit down now, but not without speaking a word more about our Class. I heard of a man who was speaking of Omnipotence, and he told of how Omnipotence was able not only to do great things, but to stoop to the most minute par- ticulars. The minister said : "He made the grass of the fields ; then he made Behemoth ; then he made the cataract, the mountains, the rivers and the brooks to go babbling by; he made man, he made me, and when he made me he made a daisy." (Cheers.) That is what I was going to say of the Class of 1867. That is all. 68 "BIOGRAPHIES of GRADUATES CLASS OF SIXTY-SEVEN YALE 3(pte — The star (*) prefixed to a name indicates a deceased member "We started when the fields were bright, And shadows all behind us lay ; From noontide now, till fading light, The shadows fall the other way." — Bruce. 70 *ARTHUR HERMAN ADAMS. *Arthur Herman Adams, eldest son of Herman S. and Sarah Maria (Brooks) Adams, was born at Florence, Ohio, November 24th, 1847. Died November 24th, 1879, en route to Japan. He entered the preparatory department of the Delaware University in Ohio, and remained there three years, finishing the Sophomore year of the regular course. He then transferred his college connections to Yale, and entered the class of '67 at the beginning of Junior year in the Fall of 1865. His father was a druggist in Sandusky, Ohio, for many years. Removing to Cleveland. Ohio, in the early seventies, he became a partner in the firm of Adams & Fay, importers and manufacturers of inks. At the time of his graduation he was undecided as to his future calling, and he spent the first two years as a teacher of Natural Science in the Delaware Literary Institute at Franklin, New York. He then entered the Yale Theological Seminary, where he remained during the years 1869- 1872. 71 During the years 1872- 1874 he attended the Yale Medical College, and at the same time taught in Gen. Russell's School, New Haven, Conn. After completing his course at the Yale Medical School he sailed October 31st, 1874, from San Francisco, Cal., for Japan, as a Medical Missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. At the time of his death he had been laboring for several years both as a Missionary and as a physician at Osaka, Japan; was the head of a benevolent dispensary and the backbone of a drug store; was also Treasurer of the Mission. In a letter received from fiim in 1877 by the Secretary he wrote that he was then stationed at Kioto, Japan ; that he had yet to own to himself any share in the decrease of his patients, but that he believed that he was attaining a reputation that would in time tell for the advancement of Truth and Righteousness and Christ. Soon after his graduation on August 31st. 1874. he married and with his wife went to Japan, and the two labored together in the missionarj' field until June, 1878, when owing to his wife's health he temporarily left Japan and took her to Southern California. It was just after leaving her there and on his return to Japan in the Steamer Ciiy of Pekin that he died, at the age of thirty-two, on November 24th, 1879 (his birthday), of typhoid fever, which he had contracted in San Francisco, Cal. In a letter from one of the missionaries to Dr. Adams' parents appears the following: "Dr. Adams was beloved by us all of every mission, and had a great influence through the Japanese physicians for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. God has highly honored you that He has permitted 3'ou to give such a son to such a cause." Anothrr states: "As a physician he won for himself an enviable reputation for wisdom and skill, and, above that, he took hold of our hearts when he came into our families with an inexplicable power. He was peculiarly dear to every member of the Osaka Station." Another, writing, says : "This dear young servant of God had started on a career of useful- ness which, if only prolonged, would have made him eminent, ranking him among the fore- most of missionaries — those foremost men of the Church of Christ. He had the intellectual abilities and culture, the business and social tact, the rare enthusiasm that laughs at difficulties and the consecration which gives everything to Christ and the upbuilding of His own king- dom in a chosen field, which makes the man of mark, whether at home or abroad." He married on August 31st, 1874, at Stevensville, Fa., Miss Sarah C. Thomas, daughter of Rev. Mr. Thomas, and had two children. CHILDREN. Sarah, born Osaka, Japan. March 13th. 1877; died Stevensville, Pa., February 21st, 1883. Arthur Herman, born Nordhoff, Cal., August 8th, 1879. .Arthur Herman studied for two years, 1895-1896. in the Lycee Jansen de Saille of Paris, France. He graduated in 1897, from the Lawrenceville Preparatory School, New Jersey, and is now a student at Princeton, being a member of the Class of 1901. He is in his eighteenth year. His mother resides at Wyalusing, Pa. COLLEGE SOCIETIES, HONORS, RANK. Linonia, Philosophical Oration, Phi Beta Kappa, 4th in Class. 72 X 1 ROBERT HENRY ALISON. Robert Henry Alison, son of Robert Alison, M. D. (University of Pennsj'hania, 1819), and Elizabeth (Aitken) Alison, was born in Jennerville, Chester County, Pa.. June 8th, 1845. He was prepared for College at the West Chester Academy, West Chester, Pa., at Peekskill Military Academy and at Fitchburg, Mass., under a private tutor. He entered '66 in the Sum- mer of '62; he left that Class at end of second term, Sophomore year, and entered '67 at beginning of Sophomore year, graduating with the class. His father, Dr. Robert Alison, was the son of Dr. Francis Alison, Jr. (University of Pennsylvania, 1770, Department of Arts), a surgeon during the Revolution and grandson of Rev. Francis Alison, M. A. (Hon. Yale, 1755. Coll. N. J., 1756. D. D., Glasgow, Scotland. 1/56). Elizabeth Aitken, his mother, was a daughter of John and Jane Aitken, and Jane Aitken was a daughter of Captain James and Sarah (Gettys) MacDowell. They were all residents 7i of Chester County, Pa., and were of that Scottish people which came from the North of Ire- land to this country early in the eighteenth centurj'. The subject of our sketch studied medicine, after graduation, at the University of Penn- sylvania, and received his degree on March 13th, 1869. Was resident physician in the Penn- sylvania Hospital from j\Iay, 1871. to October, 1872; Port Physician at the Port of Philadel- phia from February, 1883. to November, 1884, when he removed to Ardmore, Montgomery County, Pa., where he resides, practicing his profession.

George Augustus Adee, son of George Townsend and Ellen Louise (Henry) Adee, was born in New York City, April nth, 1847. He fitted for College at the preparatory School of Brainerd T. Harrington, Westchester, N. Y., and entered Yale with the Class of '67 in the fall of 1863. George Townsend Adee. his father, was a dry-goods merchant, being a member of the firm of Adee, Timpson & Co., New York City. He afterwards, in the year 1869, became Vice-President of the Bank of Commerce at 31 Nassau Street, New York City, He is a descendant of John Adee, one of the early settlers of Rye, Westchester County. N. Y. ; also of Henry Townsend, one of the Townsend brothers, the original settlers of the town of Oyster Bay, Long Island. They had been driven out of Massachu.setts ibout 1640 by the Puritans, who denied them liberty to preach and live according to their religious con- victions. His grandfather, Philip Henry, was a soldier in the War of 1812. 75 His uncle, Alvey Adee, Yale 1821, was Fleet Surgeon in the U. S. Navy for many years until his death. Adee was a prominent athlete while in College, being bow-oar on our Class Crew, Cap- tain of the Glyuna Boat Club, bow-oar of the Glyuna Shell Crew that rowed the Harbor course in the fastest time on record. Fleet Captain of the Yale Navy, Secretary of the Yale Baseball Club, pitcher on our Class nine, winner and holder of the Champion Single Sculling Cup, and bow-oar on the University Crew. Socially he was very popular with his fellows, being one of the nine "cocks" or spoonmen of his class. No member of any Class that ever graduated from Yale has been more devoted to pure athletics than he has, and no one has done more to raise the standard of Yale in her contests. He stands out prominently in this respect. After graduation he resided in Westchester until 1885. when he removed to Bartow, N. Y., where he still resides. He graduated from the Columbia Law School in May, 1870. and since that time has been engaged in the care of estates and the practice of law. For many years he devoted his best efforts at considerable personal sacrifice toward help- ing Yale win honorable victory in her athletic contests. Since 1895, however, the accumu- lating pressure of private affairs and business and professional duties have absorbed his time and compelled him to give up further active participation in the work, councils and re- sponsibilities of College athletics, after about one-third of a century of arduous service. But, although no longer an active worker, he maintains a lifelong interest in everything pertain- ing to Yale, not forgetting her athletics. He has been president of the University Athletic Club, 1892-1896; Vice-President Yale Alumni Association. 1893-1894. and President of Yale Alumni Association, 1897-1898; Chair- man Building Committee. Yale Gymnasium ; Director Yale Alumni University Fund Asso- ciation. 1895-1897; Member Governing Board Country Club, Westchester, 1888-1893. He is the same genial, courteous gentleman that he was while in College (and the Class thinks he never was out of College) and one of the best all-round athletes in his time that Yale ever produced. He was married on December 6th. 1871. to Adelaide Palmer Stanton, of Stonington. Conn., a Puritan girl of direct descent from Thomas Stanton, an English officer, engineer and interpreter, one of the original settlers of Stonington. Conn. ; also from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, of the Mayflower. Her uncle. Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer, discovered Palmer's Land in the Antarctic Circle.

He is now in the Banking House of Cuyler, Morgan & Co., New York City. He played on the 'Varsity football teams of 1893-1894 and 1894- 1895 as quarter- back, and was President of the Yale University Boat Club in 1895. In the Spring of 1898, during the Spanish War, he volunteered as a private in Troop A, N. Y. Vol. Cavalry, and served in Porto Rico in a picked detail from that troop, attached to Troop B, U. S. Reg. Cavalry, under Gen. Guy Henry until hostilities ceased. He was after- wards taken very ill with typhoid fever in Northern Porto Rico, but was brought North on the Relief, and recovered in New York later. Charles Stanton prepared for Yale at B. T. Harrington's School, and also at the Hotch- kiss School, Lakeville, Conn. He entered the Class of 1897, but left voluntarily, in his Junior year, to go into business, and is now stock clerk with the banking firm of Redmond, Kerr & Co., 41 Wall Street, New York City.

His father, Beverly Allen, was a graduate of Princeton College. He adopted the practice of law as his profession and followed it until his death. He resided in St. Louis. His paternal grandfather was Jedediah Allen, a merchant of Richmond, Va. His n^.other, Penelope Pope's, ancestry dates back to the days of the English kings. Mabel Hacklakenden, who afterwards married Governor John Haynes of Massachusetts, was the first to emigrate to this country. From her came the American descendants. His mother was a sister of the late Major General John Pope. U. S. A. Beverly was very popular in College, being one of the nine "cocks" or spoonmen of the class. After graduation he entered the Merchants' National Bank of St. Louis, where he was employed until his death. 79 A classmate writes as follows: '"It was the day preceding our first gathering as a Class when I met Beverly Allen; both hailing from the same city, strangers until that moment, friends always after. To-day I can feel the strength of his hand when he grasped mine at our meeting. Those who have shaken hands with him once will never forget it. Nothing could be more typical of his character. Few in College had an intimate acquaintance witn him. He was not at all forward in showing the warmer side of his heart, so that by many he was credited with a reserve and exclusiveness which did not belong to him. But, as a fuller knowledge of him grew, the unfolding of those traits which made him especially be- loved was exceedingly beautiful. He was not a brilliant scholar, but he filled a place in the Class, and in the lives of many, few can ever occupy. So true was he to his friends and his Class that his fidelity and devotion to them might be called almost his religion. In the career of his classmates he had ever the liveliest interest, and during the latter days of his life he frequently alluded to this and that one whose name would come up in conversation, in the kindliest and tenderest manner. His whole life was like a quiet running stream that never ran dry nor ever overflowed its banks, never became stormy, and was always active enough to show its power. He reflected in the most admirable manner the changing moods of those he mingled with, so that he seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of sympathy on which all might draw and be filled. Almost immediately on leaving College he entered the Mer- chants' Bank of St. Louis as teller, which place he filled until compelled to retire by illness. Just preceding 'Triennial' he married the daughter of William Price, Esq., whom he leaves a widow, with two bright boys. When told he could not recover, he turned to his aunt, Mrs. Yeatman, and said : 'Don't mourn for me ; I only care for my darlings.' He said he was not afraid to die, but was agonized at the thought of leaving his little children and myself. A few weeks before he died he united with the Episcopal Church, and received the Holy Communion. He loved Yale, and I have often heard him say his happiest life was spent at College. To have his eldest boy. whom he idolized, spend four years at Yale was his highest ambition. "It was a cold, dismal day when we carried him to Bellefontaine. The trees stood up naked and bare against a lead colored sky. The dry leaves rustled under our feet as we placed him in the grave, and the clods rattling down upon him awakened in our hearts mem- ories of the bright, active, warm-hearted fellow whose quick step we heard so often in the College yard and whose rap on our door was so welcome. Past and Present came face to face, and melted us to tears as we turned and left in the ground that sincere, genuine gentle- man, Beverly Allen." He married Mary V. Price, of St. Louis, Mo., June 7th, 1870. She died January nth. 1897. CHILDREN. Beverly, Jr., bom April 20th, 1872, St. Louis, Mo. William Price, born April nth. 1874, St. Louis, Mo.

He fitted for College at the Washington Academy under J. A. McFarland. and entered '67 in the Fall of '63. His father was by profession a lawyer, having been District Attorney of Washington County for nine years, from 1851-1859. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of New York State in 1867. His grandfather, David Allen, was a lineal descendant of Gideon Allen, a Lieutenant of the British Army during the reign of Queen Anne. His grandmother was a de.scendant of the early Hollanders as far back as 1720. He graduated from the Albany Law School in 1869, and for a short time was engaged in journalism. In 1871 he commenced the practice of law, which he continued till 1887. During that period he held the office of Special County Judge for three consecutive terms of four years each. Also was local Magistrate for the same length of time. For six years, 81 from 1881-1887, was candidate at different times for the office of Supervisor, District Attorney and Surrogate. On the 1st of January, 1887, he entered the employ of the Lascelles Manufacturing Co., in Salem, N. Y., who are engaged in manufacturing soaps and perfumery, having branch houses in New York, Philadelphia, Bo,ston, Chicago, Omaha, Charleston, S. C, New Orleans and Liverpool, England. For the past year or so he has been suffering from nervous prostra- tion, which obliged him to give up all active work and seek treatment in a sanitarium. At last accounts he was much improved. He was married to Miss Ada L. Russell, at Salem, N. Y., January 13th, 1869, and has had seven children, of whom four are living. CHILDREN. Christine Lansing, born October 20th, 1869, Salem, N.

He fitted for College in the Hartford High School and entered the Class in the Fall of 1865. Immediately after graduation he traveled extensively in Germany, Egypt and elsewhere. Returning in 1869 he entered the Harvard Medical School, where he was graduated in 1872. He then returned to his home in Hartford, Conn., when he commenced the practice of his pro- fession. In the Spring of 1877 he wrote the Secretary that "his life was a very quiet and uneventful one ;" that for over a year he had been more or less of an invalid. A few years later, in 1879. he again went abroad for his health, and the Secretary next received the follow- ing notice from "The Hartford Courant" of October 21st, 1882: 8S DEATH OF A SON OF THE LATE T. M. ALLYN. '"The family of the late T. M. Allyn has received information of the death of a son, Thomas Allyn, who for three years past has been in Europe. No particulars have been received other than that he was drowned in August. "At the time of the death of T. M. Allyn, letters were forwarded to Mr. Allyn in care of his banker in Europe, advising him of his father's death, and requesting his return to this countr> to participate in the disposition of the estate. No replies were received. It now appears that the proprietor of the hotel or pension where he lodged did not know of the address of his family. Mr. Allyn' s effects were searched, and there was found a letter from a young physician of this city. To him was sent a letter announcing Mr. Allyn's death, and requesting the recipient to advise his family of the occurrence. "Mr. Allyn was born in this city and was about S3 3'ears of age. He was graduated at Yale in the Class of '67 and entered the Medical Department of Harvard College, where he was graduatet; in 1872. After graduation he remained in this city for several years. His health was not vigorous and he went to Europe, taking as a companion a young physician, who returned to America a year or more ago. The deceased was a bachelor. "The death of Mr. Allyn leaves the estate of his father, appraised at a million and a half, to be divided between Mrs. Allyn and the three surviving sons, Major Allyn, of Chicago; Mr. Alexander Allyn. who has an extensive farm in Wisconsin, and Mr. Robert Allyn, of this city." The Secretary wrote Mr. Robert Allyn. of Hartford, Conn., for further particulars in regard to the death of his brother, but received no answer. COLLEGE SOCIETIES, HONORS, RANK.

He is in the seventh generation of descent from Na- thaniel Baldwin, who emigrated from Cholesbury, Warwickshire, England, before 1639, to Milford, Conn. Some of his descendants settled early in Goshen, Litchfield County, Conn. His father settled at Massillon, and was employed as a merchant in the Massillon Rolling Mill Company. His mother was of German descent. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Massillon, Ohio. The first two years of his college life were spent at the Western Reserve College, Hudson, Ohio. He entered the Junior Class at Yale in 1865. graduating with the Class in 1867. After graduation he at once began the study of law with Alexander Bierce, of Canton, and for several months was a student in the office of Ranney & Boiton, of Cleveland. He was admitted to the Bar at Canton. April 26th. 1869, and soon after opened an office at Massillon, where he has since continued the practice of the law. 87 In ^larch, 1878, he formed a partnership with Mr. Anson Pease, under the name of Pease & Baldwin, which continued until Mr. Pease became a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, February 9th, 1882. This partnership was renewed February 9th, 1892, when he left the bench, with Otto E. Young, a former student of law under Judge Pease — the firm name being Pease, Baldwin & Young. After the death of Judge Pease, on December i6th, 1896, he continued the practice of the law under the name of Baldwin & Young. Mr. Baldwin has been in many important cases, but his inclinations never led him into the trial of causes. He has been more an office lawyer, dealing with documents, and has had more to do with the preparation of cases for trial, with the adjustment of differences, with the settlement of estates and with commercial and financial transactions. In many cases he has acted as referee in matters involving long and intricate accountings. He is always de- liberate in judgment, cautious and conservative, and having once formed an opinion or out- lined a course of action, he holds to it most firmly. He lived with his mother, to whom he was devotedly attached, until her death, January loth, 1892. On June 28th, 1890, he married Annie J. Steese, only daughter of Dr. Isaac Steese, for many years a prominent banker at Massillon. They have no children. COLLEGE SOCIETIES, HONORS, RANK.

He entered the Class of '66 and left it Sophomore year, entering '67 the beginning of the Junior year, and graduating with that Class. His father was a farmer, as was also his grandfather and great-grandfather before him. He lived in Huntington, Fairfield County, Conn., the original ancestry of the family having emigrated from England in 1640 and settled in Stratford, Conn. The maternal ancestry were from Danbury, Conn. Since graduation he has lived at Minneapolis, Minn. He spent the first four winters after graduation in the Theological Semi- nary at New Haven, spending his summers in Minneapolis. His health being poor, he was unable to pursue his chosen profession, and finding he required more active outdoor life, he engaged in business. 89 The greater part of his life has been spent in the Insurance and Real Estate business, con- sisting chiefly in buying city property and increasing its market value by improvements. He was married in New Haven, Conn., June 23d, 1869, to Sarah R. Reed, and has two children. CHILDREN. Harry W., born August 19th, 1872, Minneapolis, Minn. Minnie B., born April 25th, 1883.

Eugene Francis Beecher, son of Edward and Isabella Porter (Jones) Beecher (Yale, 1822), was born at Boston, Mass., March 7th, 1846. His father, Edward Beecher, was the son of Lyman Beecher, the celebrated divine, who was a descendant of John Beecher, who came over in the Mayflower and settled in New Haven in 1640. His mother, Isabella Porter Jones, belonged to the Maine branch of the Porter family, and was a niece of Rufus King, first minister from this country to Great Britain. He fitted for College under the instruction of his father, and entered '67 in the Summer of '63. After graduation he taught for two years in the preparatory department of Knox College, Galesburg, Ills. He then took a position as Assistant Editor of the "Brooklyn Union," from 1869-70. He then went into partnership with a Mr. Feffers, continuing with him till 1872. From 1873-75 he was engaged in negotiating for Western lands and loans with a Mr. David- son. This was a losing venture. In July, 1877, he started a periodical called the "Brooklyn 91 Monthly," and was engaged in this enterprise for several years. This was also an unsuccess- ful undertaking, and in 1882 he sold out his interest and was employed for a time in the Brad- street Company. In March, 1886, he left their employ, and obtained the position of business manager of the Brooklyn Edition of the "New York World." For a short time he was en- g.iged on the "New York Tribune," but since 1886 he has been connected with the "New York World." He was married to Sarah W. Hiscox, in Brooklyn, N.

Died April 27, 1887, in New York City, of pneumonia. He fitted for College at General Russell's School, and entered '67 in the Summer of '63. After graduating studied Law in Columbia College Law School, where he graduated in i86q. Practiced with Matthews & Betts at 33 Pine Street, and also at 37 Park Row, New York City, until 1871, with the exception of five months in 1870, spent on the Plains and in Califor- nia. In the Autumn of 1871 he entered the Post-Graduate course at Yale, and for eighteen months pursued the studies of the Anglo-Saxon, German and English History, together with Literature. In March, 1873, he accepted an offer to resume the practice of Law with Whitney & Betts, and left New Haven, Conn., without applying for a degree. In October, 1875, the firm changed to F. H. & C. W. Betts, Mr. Whitney having accepted the position of Corpora- tion Counsel. In October. 1876, the firm changed to Betts, Atterbury & Betts, and he was a member of this firm at the time of his death. 93 Mr. Betts was a member of various literary and musical clubs; was one of the founder? of the City Reform Club, in which he took an active interest. At the time of his death he was also a member of the following clubs: The Century; New York Historical Society; New York Geographical Society ; Union Club ; Riding Club ; Oratorical Society ; Knickerbocker Club ; American Numismatic and Archaeological Society; and the Bar Association. Between the years 1878 and "82 he bought seventy acres of land at South Hampton, L. I., close to the ocean, on which property he erected a number of cottages, to rent in the Summer months. In one of them, called "The ^lill," he usually kept bachelor hall. It was his custom to spend his second Summer in England. The following is from the report of the Committee : Charles Wyllys Betts was born at Newburgh on the Hudson, N. Y., August 13th, 1845. Ten years later his parents removed to New Haven, for the purpose of educating their chil- dren. He entered the Military Academy of the late General Wm. H. Russell, and was the j'oungest boy in that school. In 1859, he was obliged by illness to give up active study for two years. At this time he began the collection of coins and medals which, before he entered Col- lege, became so large and valuable that he was recognized as a singularly successful and in- telligent collector. At that period, in almost every New England country store, a box was kept containing money received in business, but afterwards found to be uncuirent. Wyllys Betts, being advised by his physician to lead an out-door life, spent his time in traveling, principally in walking through the country, seeking in shops and farmhouses specimens of this uncurrent money. In this ingenious manner he collected early colonial coin^s, pieces from almost every foreign country, occasional Roman pieces, of silver and copper, and in one in- stance an Egyptian coin of the time of the Ptolemies. In his will he bequeathed his whole collection to Yale University. He also made a study of history in connection with coins, and acquired a remarkably accurate knowledge of historical events both ancient and modern. Having fully recovered his health he entered Yale College in 1863. His College record there is familiar to all of us. In College, as at school, he was always noted among his class- mates for his gentle, generous and chivalrous character. As he reached early manhood he became earnestly and deeply religious. He was a good scholar, fond of composition, musical, very popular throughout the Class, and beloved by all who knew him well enough to appreciate the true qualities of his character. He was graduated at Yale in 1867, and at the Columbia College Law School two years later, and spent two years more in the Post-Graduate department of Yale College, pursuing a course in English Language, History and Literature. At this time he contemplated for a while enter- ing the ministry, and with that view spent several months in the Berkeley Divinity School at Middletown, Conn. But early in 1872 he returned to New York and began active practice in connection with the firm of Whitney & Betts (Wm. C. Whitney. '63, now Secretary of the Navy, and Frederic H. Betts, '64, his brother). Upon the dissolution of that firm he formed with his brother the firm of F. H. & C. W. Betts. and afterwards that of Betts. Atterbury & Betts (Chas. L. Atter- 94 bury, '64). At first he was engaged in Real Estate practice, then in Patent, Trademark, and Copyright litigation. The Western Union Telegraph Company, Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company, Yale Lock Mfg. Co. and the Celluloid Company were among their clients, and a large number of the most prominent suits relating to infringement of patents during the last ten years were placed in their charge. In these litigations his brother states that Wyllys Betts had a most important share ; that "though not often appearing in court, much of the efficient preparation which led to final suc- cess was due to his thorough and intelligent examination of witnesses, and to his capacity for clear and accurate statement in the preparation of briefs. He also in a peculiar manner suc- ceeded in impressing upon the judges and even upon those members of the Bar with whom he was brought in contact, a feeling of affectionate regard most unusual under such circumstances of acquaintance." He spent many Summer vacations in Europe, and continued to make rare and costly additions to his collection of coins, and he made a rare collection of antique silver illustrative of the progress of design and ornamentation in this branch of art. Among the beautiful examples in this collection are : a chalice and patin of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, cups of the time of Charles H., William HI., Anne and George II. He was a man of culture and of varied accomplishments, being something of an artist, as is indicated by small specimens of his work which show a refined taste for color and accurate drawing. He was fond, too, of music and had a melodious, well trained voice. For several years he was a volunteer member of the choir of Trinity Church. His genial disposition, cul- tivated manner, and above all the constant spirit of kindly consideration for others, and his quick tact in perceiving and governing his conduct by their feelings, won the affection of those who came into friendly contact with him ; and his fondness for society gave him a large circle of warm friends, young and old, among men and women of refinement. Yet though he mingled in worldly gayeties, Wyllys Betts led a pure, conscientious Chris- tian life from boyhood. When in the prime of manhood and success he was suddenly stricken unto death by that dread disease, pneumonia, he bore it cheerfully, and when the end came he called about him those he loved, bade them farewell, and with quiet courage and steadfast hope passed forever from their view into the "silent land." The following letters received by his brother immediately after his death indicate the position he had acquired and the feeling with which he was regarded by those with whom he came in business contact : (From Hon. William J. Wallace, Circuit Judge of the United States, for the Second Cir- cuit.) "New York, April 28th, 1887. "Dear Mr. Betts : "I was inexpressibly shocked to hear of your brother's death, although I knew from what you told me yesterday that his condition was very critical. I had come to feel a warm regard for him which was more than respect and friendly interest, and was, indeed, affection. 95 '•He was such a perfect type of health and manly vigor, and the future seemed to hold so much in store for him, that it is very hard to reconcile his death with any theory that it is for the best. I have been thinking of him all the day. "You have my heartfelt sympathy. Very sincerely yours, 'William J. Wallace." '"To Frederic H. Betts, Esq." (From Hon. Alfred C. Cox, United States District Judge for the Northern District of New York.) "Utic.'v, April 28th, 1887. "My Dear Mr. Betts : "I was shocked to see in to-day's paper the announcement of your brother's death. I had supposed, from what I learned in New York, that the danger had passed. I hope you will pardon me for intruding on your grief at such a time, and yet I cannot refrain from telling you how keenly I sympathize with you in this hour of affliction. "Your brother was respected and admired by all who knew him. I have heard him spoken of by men of business and men of leisure, by members of the Bench and of the Bar, and always in terms of regard. "I can hardly realize that his voice is to be heard no more in the forum which was so often adorned by his presence and enlightened by his careful and conscientious labors. "He possessed, in an uncommon degree, two characteristics seldom found in such har- monious union — capacity for hard intellectual labor, which gave him so enviable a position in his profession, and, on the other hand, the unchanging courtesy, the genial enthusiasm, the innate refinement which so endeared him to his friends in social life. At all tinics and on all occasions, 'he bore, without abuse, the grand old name of gentleman.' "That such a life, so full of hope and promise, should be hidden by the shadow of the sable wing seems almost inexplicable. And. yet, those who loved him best may surely gain consolation 'in the truth to flesh and sense unknown,' that now, freed from the troubles and perplexities which surround us here, he is beyond 'the rock-waste and the river,' at rest amid the serene and changeless peace of the eternal world.

William Henry Bishop, son of Elias and Catherine (Kelley) Bishop, was born at Hart- ford. Conn., January 7th, 1847. On his father's side he is descended in direct line (through his grandmother, Harriet Hemingway,) from Governor James Bishop, of the New Haven Colony; and through his father, Elias Bishop, from John Bishop, one of the founders of the Colony of Guilford, Conn., in 1639. Governor James Bishop was Secretary to the New Haven Colony in 1651 and Deputy Governor from 1683 till his death in 1691. John Bishop was one of those chosen to purchase the lands for the Guilford Colony from the Indians; he was one of the first five Magistrates of the Colony, who field supreme power for several years. He entered '67 at the commencement of the Sophomore year. Passed Freshman year at St. John's College, Fordham, N. Y. On graduation he studied architecture, and was employed in the Government Architect's Office in Washington. D. C, until 1871. Then, in conjunction 97 with H. A.

" W. H. Morse, Esq., New York City : "Dear Classmate — With mingled feelings of pleasure and regret, I sit down to write you a short history of my life — pleasure at the thought of once again writing to my Classmate, and regret that I cannot give a more satisfactory account of myself. "I was shipping clerk in New York City during the winter of 1867-1868, then entered my father's bank in New Orleans, La., for nine months, was then established in the cotton busi- 109 ness for two years under the firm name of Green. Crump & Brother. For three years after- wards was a member of the firm of L. R. Simmons & Co., Shreveport, La., in the Blank Book and Job Prindng business. The yellow fever of 1873 practically rumed my business. so I sold out for a nommal sum, stayed in St. Louis about a year, then went to San Antonio, Texas, intending to go into the sheep business, but instead lost my money in a "Bat" Cave Fertilizer scheme. "In the Spring of 1879 I took the Leadville tever, came out here to Colorado, where I have remained ever since, following mining principally. "As a prospector I have had poor luck in selling any mining claims at good figures, but have worked hard, suffered privations, been hungry, slept on the ground, climbed high moun- tains, and in every way 'rustled.' "I have been over three years in the Cripple Creek District, but with poor success, and am at present thinking of going to Idaho Springs (about 35 miles from here) to put in the Summer at whatever work I can obtain. "My health is fair, my hair is quite gray, and I look to be, as I am, 52 years old. "Brother Peck showed me the Class pictures to-day and says I look just like my picture, only a little older. I left my Class Book with my sister in St. Louis in 1879, and the sight of the faces of '67 brought to mind many pleasurable reminiscences as well as regrets. I cannot possibly attend the meeting, but will try to send my picture in time. "Please give my kindest regards and warmest wishes to all my Classmates, and hope that they will all live long and prosper. It hardly seems possible that thirty years have elapsed since we marched forth so strong and confident, all unconscious of the trials of this terrible world. I would especially like to hear from J. J. Brooks, George Adee, J. M. Spencer and Nate Chapman. I will send my address to Mr. Peck as soon as I get settled. Good-bye, my Classmate and friend, and, believe me, yours sincerely, "W. A. Brother, " Class of '67, Yale." COLLEGE SOCIETTES, HONORS, RANK. Brothers, " Sigma Eps " and D. K. E. ANSELM BYRON BROWN. Anselm Byron Brown, son of Joseph and Mary Elizabeth (Hunt) Brown, was born April 28th, 1845, at Sebago. Cumberland County, Maine. No word has ever been received from him by the Secretary since graduation. The fol- lowing account has been prepared and given by his brother, Edward F. Brown, Yale '63 : " He is a son of the late Joseph Brown, born in Baldwin, Cumberland County, Maine, April 23d, 1805, died at New Haven, Conn., March 3d, 1866, and of the late Mary Elizabeth Hunt, born in Concord, Mass., 21st of June, 181 1, died at 1008 Madison avenue. New York City, 2d September, 1874. His great-grandfather commanded a company of minute-men in the battle of Concord, April 19, 1775. " Anselm Byron Brown prepared for College at Bridgton Academy, North Bridgton. Maine, and in New York City under the tutorship of Rev. Dr. Thomas C. Strong. For a short time he had also the instruction of Eli T. Mack, of New Haven, Conn. He en- III tered Yale as a Freshman in the Summer of 1863 and graduated with the class of 1867. He remained in New Haven after his graduation from the Academic Department, and took the regular course in the Divinity School and graduated in 1870. While studying in the Di- vinity School he had charge of a mission chapel in New Haven (the name of it I do not now recall) until he accepted a call to a Congregational Church in Lockport, 111. He remained there until he went to Europe in 1874. He studied in the University at Halle am der Saale in 1874-5, residing in the family of Prof. Jacobi, Professor of Church History in that University. Upon his return to this country, he filled temporary vacancies in churches in different parts of the country. He had charge for a year (I think 1877) of the Congregational Church on Washington avenue, 24th Ward, New York City. He then organized a Preparatory School for College (I think about 1882) in Detroit, Michigan. Subsequently he went to the Pa- cific Coast to fill a temporary vacancy of a pulpit in San Francisco, and from there he went to New Whatcom, Washington, on Puget Sound, where he built up quite a prosperous church, but which was practically ruined by the panic of 1893. He then went to Japan and remained until the breaking out of the war with China, when he returned to this country and is now in Los Angeles, California. He has a School for boys Preparatory for College at Los Angeles, Cal., where he resides." In May, 1899, he became attached to the U. S. War Department, Bureau of Education, and is stationed at Ponce, Porto Rico. Four of his nephews, sons of Edward F.

He then entered the service of John Russell Young's paper, the New York "Standard," as a reporter, soon becoming night editor and then editorial writer. Going to Alilwaukee for his health on a visit to his classmate, James G. Flanders, he acquired an interest in the Mil- waukee "Journal of Commerce," setting up a domestic establishment, College-chum fashion, with Nelson P. Hulst. He was joined in the newspaper enterprise by his classmate. William H. Bishop, and the commercial weekly became a political daily, the "Commercial Times." After five years of exciting and adventurous experience, which was shared by his brother. Daniel Gano Chittenden, he merged his paper with its venerable Democratic colleague, the Milwaukee "News," acquiring a third interest, which he ultimately sold to Robertson James, a brother of the novelist. Henry James, and retired to his father's home in New Jersey for a year's rest. From this he was summoned by James Gordon Bennett to his service as editor of the "Evening Telegram." He remained in Mr. Bennett's service for fifteen years, several of which were spent in various capacities on the "Herald." While a general reporter on that paper Mr. Chittenden won the first prize of $500 offered by Mr. Bennett for the most acceptable editorial paragraphs written by "Herald" reporters, during the space of six months.

He fitted for College at the Hopkins Grammar School, and entered '67 in the Summer of "63. His father, Charles Collins, was engaged in the Wholesale Drygoods business in St. Louis, Mo., until the War of the Rebellion, when he removed his business to New York City. Mr. Collins was well known in the business circles of Ne\v York for his staunch integrity, the high tone of his character and his wise conduct of affairs. He was selected as one of the "struck jury" empaneled to try William M. Tweed. Mr. Collins was a man who "left his footprints" wherever he resided and commanded admiring respect. Charles Terry Collins was seventh in direct descent from our honored Governor William Bradford, first Governor of the Colonies: also in lineal descent from Right Hon. Sir Paul Tracey, Lord of Toddington, in Gloucestershire, England. 137 Inheriting the strong characteristics of his New England ancestry, Charles Terry Collins went into life imbued with a mighty purpose, to live for God and to work in His vineyard. Was graduated from the Hartford High School, with a high grade of scholarship ; he entered Yale College in 1863 and was graduated in 1867. He went to Europe to pass a year before entering upon his life-work. Going direct to Berlin, he had unusual facilities for acquiring the German language in the family of Dr. Goldbich. of the University; he then became a student at Heidelberg, where he was graduated in 1868. Upon his return to this country, in 1868, he commenced his theological studies at Union Seminary, New York, where he re- mained but a year, finishing his theological course at Andover Seminary, where he was graduated in 1871. After a few months passed in Europe he returned to his father's house in New York City. Was ordained to the Gospel ministry. December 21st, 1871, and accepted an invitation to take charge of Olivet Chapel, a mission church, as his parents utterly refused consent to his going to a foreign mission-field. Here he entered heartily into the work of educating those ignorant ones up to a higher plane of living. Three years of exhausting labor were spent in this mission church. He threw himself with all the force of his enthusiastic nature into his work. The wretchedness with which he was in constant contact was a stimulus to his untiring zeal. He refused to think of himself, or that rest which sooner or later must be a necessity. In the Pulpit, in damp cellars, in heated garrets, by the bedside of the sick and dying, in Court and in Prison, he spent his strength and life in an almost ceaseless toil, with the tax upon his sj'mpathies, the burden of others' sorrows which, he writes, "Eats into my soul and tortures it," was more than he could bear, and in the Summer of 1874 he was utterly prostrated, and went with his wife and son to Scotland to recuperate his almost exhausted powers. Returning to this country in November. 1874, declining many most flattering calls to City churches, he accepted the call to Plymouth Congregational Church, of Cleveland; Ohio, and was installed as their pastor, January. 1875. Mr. Collins married Miss Mary Abbie Wood, at Pittsfield, Mass., December 26th, 1872. His pastoral work in Cleveland was nine years of intense enthusiastic labor, and his mem- ory is tenderly cherished in Cleveland, as well as in that Church for whose welfare he gave his life. After a short but severe illness he left Cleveland. December 20th. 1883, to rest his exhausted frame in the quiet of the paternal home in Yonkers, but the call to come up higher came before he reached that earthly home. "He was not, for God took him" December 21st. 1883, and sorrowing hearts and loving hands laid him to rest in Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford, Conn., upon the eleventh anniversary of his wedding. Mrs. Charles Terry Collins resides in New Haven. Conn., where she went to educate her three sons at Yale University. She passed the years 1889-1890 in Germany to perfect her children in the German language. CHILDREN. Charles (Carl), born October 14th, 1873, New York City.

His friends and classmates had watched with pleasure his rapid progress and distinguished success in his profession, and were expecting for him a long and brilliant career. It seems peculiarly sad that so promising a life should have come to such an untimely end. He was married to Catherine E. Fyfe at New York City April 15. 1874.

It was one of his most earnest desires to be present at this dedication, and during Sunday afternoon he listened to an account of the dedication services with the liveliest interest and pleasure. After the dedication he partook of communion at his cottage. His death was calm and peaceful, and up to within two hours of that time he retained consciousness.

C. Wilcox, of St. Louis, Mo., and entered the Class of '67 in the Summer of 1863. His father. Edmund Otis Goodman, was a merchant ; his people came from Massachu- setts, and he can trace his descent in a straight line from the Pilgrim Fathers. His grand- father was the leading physician of South Hadley Falls. Mass., for many years until his death. His mother's ancestors came from Litchfield. Conn., and settled in Rochester, N.

William Henry Goodyear, son of Charles and Clarissa (Beecher) Goodyear, was born at New Haven, Conn., April 2ist, 1846. He fitted for College (Yale) at Genl. Russell's School in New Haven, Conn., and en- tered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. His father was the discoverer of the vulcanization of India Rubber, and creator of the India Rubber industry. Stephen Goodyear, an ancestor, was the first Governor of the Connecticut colony. The following is from his own pen. In 1897 he writes: As regards residence, I went to Germany after graduation, and studied History and the History of Art for two years at the Universities of Berlin and Heidelberg. A third year abroad was spent partly in Germany, partly in the East and in Italy. I was able while in 175 Syria to visit the East Jordan Country and the Hauran — a territory remarkable for its Roman ruins and rarely seen by travelers. Since returning to America in 1870 I have always lived in New York. As regards occupation, I began teaching History and the History of Art in the New York Young Ladies' Schools in 1871. After 1874 I gave up teaching School Classes for classes in lecturing on the same subjects. I was employed as Lecturer in various Schools and Semi- naries, and lectured also to private classes of adults and occasionally in public. I have lec- tured as far West as Chicago, as far East as Mt. Holyoke Seminary, and as far South as Bal- timore. Outside of New York 1 was constantly employed in Philadelphia. On two occa- sions I have given courses in the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, a number of courses in the .Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and I held official appointments from the Philadelphia School of Design and from the Cocper Institute in New York. In 1882 I was made a Curator in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the duties of this office have since then taken up most of my time, although I still give lectures occasionally. As regards publications. I wrote some few essays and reviews for the "Independent" in 1873 and 1874. In 1874 I published in "Scribner's Magazine" of August some original dis- coveries made in Pisa and relating to optical refinements in Medieval Architecture, under the title "A Lost Art." In 1876 I publi.«hed in "Lippincott's Magazine" an article on the second part of Goethe's "Faust." In the same year I published in the New York "World" a scheme of voting reform, under the title of the "Quota Vote," In 1885 I published an "Ancient and Modem History," an illustrated school text-book (William H. Sadler & Co., N. Y.), which sells about 3.000 copies a year and promises large editions. I have now in press for A. S. Barnes & Co. an illustrated compendium of the History of Art. In 1885 I published an essay on "Ancient Glass" in the "American Journal of Archaeology," and its forthcoming issue will contain my discovery of the dev^opment of the Greek Decorative Art from the Egyptian lotus motive, under the title "Egj'ptian Origin of the Ionic Capital and of the Anthemion." In a letter received by the Secretary, May 27th, 1897, he writes: It gives me pleasure to an wer your circular and to mention the following particulars : In the last ten years I have written five books, which have been published, as follows: "History of A-rt." now in two volumes, A. S. Barnes, Publi.sher; "Grammar of the Lotus," Samson Low, Publisher; "Roman and Medieval Art" and "Renaissance and Modern Art," Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle. Publisher; "Ancient and Modern History," W. H. Sadler, Publisher. In the "Grammar of the Lotus" I have announced a new theory of the origin of classic ornament which has met opposition as well as acceptance, but none of the main results have been antagonized by any expert in Greek ornament. In 1895 the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences raised $1,500 to pay the expenses of an expert in surveying and photography, to spend five months in a survey of the Italian Cathedrals under my directions. 176 I paid my own expenses on this trip. Its results are now being published by the "Architectural Record Quarterly Magazine." They are approved by Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, of Harvard, as making a new departure in the study of medieval architecture. I have discovered the use in Italian Cathedrals of curves and other optical refinements hitherto presumed to have been known only to the Greeks. In 1891 I discovered curves in the Roman Temple, known as the Maison Caree, at Nismes, in Southern France. The facts as published by the Smithsonian Institution have been generally accepted. This is the first discovery of curves in a Roman Temple. In 1892 I was invited to read a Paper before the Egyptian Section of the Oriental Con- gress at London, and went there for that purpose. In 1896 I was invited by the Liverpool Local Committee to read a Paper at a Conver- sazione of the Briti.sh Association for the Advancement of Science, meeting at Liverpool, and went over for that purpose. In 1891 I went to Egpyt and discovered there curves in certain P2gyptian temples. The results have been accepted and published by the Smithsonian Institution. Within a few weeks I have received an appointment from the University of Chicago as Professorial Lecturer on the University Extension Stafif, said appointment being for the three last months of this year. Otherwise I have spent my time during the last few years in lecture work on the History of Art and Civilization, giving courses for the American University B^xtension Society of Philadelphia; for the University Extension Department of the New York Board of Regents; for the Teachers' College. N. Y. ; for the New York Board of Education ; for the Brooklyn Institute, and various other organizations. Allow me to compliment and appreciate the patriotic and disinterested spirit which has prompted you so long to guard the interests and history of our class. Faithfully yours, Wm. H. Goodyear. In January, 1899, he was appointed Curator of the Collections in Fine Arts at the Brooklyn Institute Museum Building. His first wife was Miss Sarah Sanford, of Cleveland, Ohio, whom he married June 30th, 1871. She died January loth, 1878, without issue. His second wife was Miss Nellie F. M.

I., November 27th, 1842. He fitted for College at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., and entered the Class at the commencement of the Junior year. Was in "66 Freshman and Sophomore years. His father was a merchant in the wooden-ware business in Providence, R. I. His mother, who was living in '95, was then in her 88th year. After graduation he taught a year, 1867-68, in Gambier, Ohio ; one year in Westchester, N. Y., 1868-69; four years, 1869-73, in Jersey City, N. J. Was admitted to the New York Bar in 1872. Practiced Law from 1873 to 1878, when he entered the U. S. District Attorney's Office as Assistant Attorney, which position he held at the time of his death. On February ist, 1894, he complained of pain in his stomach, which troubled him more or less till the middle of May, when he ceased attending the office. The last day he went 179 out was on the 28th of May ; from that day till his death he was confined to his bed from cancer of the stomach. He was married February ist, 1893, to ^lary A.

In the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, for the Second Circuit, on motion to adjourn Court, owing to the death of Thomas Greenwood, late Assistant United States Dis- trict Attorney : Mr. Henry C. Platt: May it please the Court. It is my sad duty to announce the death of Thomas Greenwood, a member of the Bar of twenty-two years' standing, a familiar figure in all the branches of the Federal Courts of this District as an Assistant United States At- torney. Mr. Gretnwood was a native of Rhode Island, a graduate of Yale College of the Class of 1867, and was admitted to the Bar in this city in 1872. Prior to his appointment as an As- sistant he was connected with the office of the United States .\ttorney for some nine years, so that he filled out a continuous public service of seventeen 3'ears, and during all that time he was faithful and efficient in the performance of the duties assigned to him, and as your Honors are well aware, he was an able and experienced assistant in the defense of Govern- ment suits in the line of duty to which his talents and time were devoted. He always seemed to make the Government's cause his own, and he fought its battles with ingenuity and with great pertinacity. He continued his labors up to within two weeks of the time of his death, against the protest of his friends and associates in the office, who were solicitous of his failing health, and who urged him to take the necessary rest and recuperation. It may be well said of him that he died at his post of duty, and it seems to me such faitlifulness and devotion to duty, as was evidenced in the career of Mr. Greenwood, deserves some recogni- tion from the Bench as well as the Bar at this time, and I therefore ask that this Court pause long enough in the press of public business in order that some recognition of his death may be entered upon the records of this Court, which motion I now make. Mr. Stephen G. Clarke : In behalf erf the Bar. and more particularly in behalf of that class of cases in which Mr. Greenwood was engaged, I desire to second that motion, and I endorse every word Mr. Platt has said. Mr. Greenwood was a man of unequaled industry and faithful to his duties: and. without detaining the Court. I do not know that I can pay a higher tribute to the memory of our departed friend than to say that in the sphere of life wherein he labored he performed his whole duty. Mr. William Wickham Smith : During the past seven years I have been very closely associated with Mr. Greenwood, the first half of that time being connected with him in the 180 office of the United States Attorney, and the latter half contending against him on the other side of the Bar; and I cannot let this opportunity go by without bearing testimony to the fact that I have never known a more diligent, faithful, and conscientious public official than Thomas Greenwood was. He was not brilliant, he made no claim to showy accomplishments, but whatever his task was he performed it with the most painstaking fidelity, and I think your Honors will remember that when he had a case to present to the Court he left no source unexplored for argument or authority which might enable the Court to pronounce its judg- ment. He made no effort to take advantage of his opponents. He was not anxious for the mere glory of winning cases, but he discharged his duty by presenting everything he could for the enlightenment of the Court, letting the result take care if itself. I think that so modest and faithful service as his has been should be recognized by some word of appreciation from the Bench. The Court (Wallace, J.) : The Court has heard of the death of Mr. Greenwood with very great regret. He has long been a familiar figure in this Court, and in the Circuit Court in this district, and we have always recognized that he brought to the discharge of his duties the utmost conscientiousness, and, as has been said of him, one of his most pleasing char- acteristics was his modesty. He always manifested a desire to assist the Court to a correct understanding of the case under consideration. His sole aim was to do his whole duty to the interest he represented. It seems very .sad that at such a comparatively early age, with ap- parently so many years of usefulness before him, he should be stricken down. It is entirely proper as a mark of respect that the Clerk should make an appropriate entry on the minutes, and the Court will now so order. i8i WILDER BENNETT HARDING.

Died on the 22nd of May, 1886, in Philadel- phia, Pa. He fitted for College at Philadelphia, Pa. Entered the Class in January, 1864. Was a student for three years after graduation at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Was then a Resident Physician in the Philadelphia Hospital for some time. Shortly after the "Triennial" he removed to Niles. Ohio, where he continued the practice of Medicine until August, 1877, when he accepted the Professorship of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children at the Starling Medical College, Columbus, Ohio. He was the author of a treatise entitled "How to Use the Forceps," published in 1880. He was a member of the American Medical Association, the Pathological Society of Philadelphia, and at the time of his death was Professor in the aforementioned College. 209 The following account the Secretary takes from a medical journal which has been fur- nished him, relative to the death of Mr. Landis, the account being from a physician and resi- dent of Columbus, Ohio, where the deceased resided at the time of his death : " On the 22nd of May last, 1886, at his father's house, in Chestnut Hill, near Philadelphia, Harry Gardner Landis died. Although it was known that he was failing rapidly, and that his death was only a question of time, yet to those who knew him and loved him the news came with a great shock. Naturally brilliant and extremely well educated. Dr. Landis was a man who had already won an enviable position for himself, and had his life been spared for further study and work, would have gained an undying fame. Born in Philadelphia in 1848, had he lived until the 4th of June, he would have completed his thirty-eighth year. To few men it is given to accomplish so much when so young, to be so well known to the world of medicine, and at the same time to be so well read in general literature, English history and Biblical studies. " His parents came from old Philadelphia families, and though his mother died when he was a small boy, yet his stepmother, the sister of Gen. Reynolds, the hero of Gettysburg, filled her place, and the affection he felt and manifested for her was extremely touching. "Sent to Lawrenceville, N. J., to school, he went from there to Yale College, at the age of 15, and was graduated when but 19 years old, the youngest man in a class of one hun- dred and one. Deciding to study medicine, in company with Dr. J. C. Wilson, of Philadelphia, he was entered as student in the office of Dr. W. W. Keen, and attended lectures at the Jefferson Medical College. For two years after his graduation he was in the laboratory of Dr. S. Weir Mitchell at the old 'Chant Street School of Anatomy,' and while there fostered and cultivated those habits and tastes for the study of nature of every form, which were after- wards so characteristic of the man. An inmate at Blockley Hospital for the allotted term, he began to devote his time and attention to that branch of medicine which was his specialty and in connection with which his name will ever be remembered — gynecology. In 1871 he re- moved to Ohio and settled at Niles, in Trumbull County, practicing medicine in partnership with Dr. Leitch. In 1877, at the advice and through the influence of Dr. Loving, he came to Columbus as the Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Starling College. Of his ability and wit as a lecturer there is no necessity to speak, for those who have attended his lectures can recall more vividly than any pen can describe his inimitable manner, the stores of learning which seemed to flow so easily from his well-trained mind, his caustic satire, and quick discernment. But it was not as a lecturer merely that Dr. Landis excelled. He was a ready and admirable writer, and he is known to the medical world by his magazine articles and papers, as well as by his books. His first work was 'How to Use the Forceps,' then followed 'Quiz Compend' on Obstetrics,' and his last volume, written when his health was failing, and finished before his final illness, has just been published. Those who were his friends knew how patiently he worked, when every breath was drawn with pain, and he was so feeble that he could hardly sit at his desk. Although he never lived to see the result of his efforts, yet his masterly treatise on the 'Management of Labor' will be his most enduring monument. In 1883 he was a delegate to the American Association, which met at Cleveland, and one of the readers in the Gynecological Section. In 1884 he delivered the address before the Alumni Association of Jefferson Medical College the subject of which was 'The Need of General Culture for the Physician.' And there was no man who ever gave a better example of that polish, culture and literary accomplishment than Dr. Landis. A Bible scholar of no mean order, his Greek Testament was his con- stant companion, and there was not a single theological question, not a single theory, with which he was not acquainted. In fact, a clergyman would have to 'verify his references' very carefully before he discussed theology with him. A great admirer of Plato, he had studied the 'Republic' so thoroughly that he could quote from it with perfect freedom. The whole range of English Literature and History was familiar to him, and in the back of his copy of 'Green's History' is pasted a table of the English Sovereigns, which he made in some leisure moments, to show that Queen Victoria is a lineal descendant of Alfred the Great. An ento- mologist of a very high grade, his collection of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera filled a large case that stood in his office. A painter in oil, a woodcarver and a photographer, some of his work was perfectly exquisite. In fact, he was one of those rare men who do everything well, and to the little circle of intimate friends, the band of chosen spirits of which he was the leading figure, his early death will ever be a cause of sorrow, while to that larger world which knows him in his writings and publications, it will always be a source of regret that he who had begun so well and given such signs of genius, had not been spared to follow the path which he had marked out for himself." He was married to Elizabeth B. Hafey at Philadelphia, Pa., April 9, 1871. CHILDREN. Henry Robert Murray, born February 3d, 1872, Niles, Ohio. COLLEGE SOCIETIES. HONORS, RANK.

Raymond at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Insti- tute, and entered the Class of '67 in 1863. His father was a printer by occupation and became the joint owner, with his brother Charles, and later his brother Homer, of the copyright of Webster's Dictionary from 1843 to his death in 1880. Although at his death he left an estate worth upwards of half a million his business did not command so intense an energy as did his domestic and religious life. In- comparably his most lively memories of his childhood connection with him are those of his ardent omnipresent solicitude that his children develop trustworthy character. His mother. Abbey Fiske, was a daughter of Rev. John Fiske, of New Braintree. Mass. She was born into an atmosphere of intelligence, had a world of good sense, and fully shared the religious convictions of her father. 217 After graduation he spent the first three years in studying theology in New Haven, Conn., and Andover, Mass. In 1870-71 he accepted a call to become the pastor of the Congregational Church at Farmington, Conn. In the Winter of 1872-73 typhoid fever compelled him to stop all work. During the year 1874 he was in New Haven, Conn., until October. He then traveled abroad for his health and spent most of the years 1875-76 in Europe with his family. He was agent of the Lombard Investment Co. since 1875; contributor to the "Christian Union," Springfield "Republican," etc. In the Fall of 1876 he accepted a call from the Indian Orchard Congregational Church in Springfield, Mass. Spent the whole year of 1881 in Cali- fornia and the year 1882 in Montclair, N. J. His health, which has from time to time been poor, he writes, is now much improved. He is living at Springfield, Mass., where he says he will always be glad to see his class- mates. He has traveled a great deal for his health, spent the Winter of 1896 in Los Vegas, New Mexico.

Died in New York City, May loth, 1895. He fitted for College (Yale) under Dr. Salmon McCall at Saybrook, Conn., and entered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. Elisha Ely Morgan, father of Charles Leslie Morgan, was born in Old Lynne, Conn. For a time he commanded one of the famous fast clipper ships, sailing between New York and Liverpool, and on two occasions or more his ship was taken by Joseph Bonaparte, ex-King of Spain, for the exclusive use of himself and suite. A warm friendship resulted from this voyaging together, and Capt. Morgan also had the pleasure of including Thackeray, Dickens, Sir Edwin Landseer, Charles Leslie and many other Royal Academicians among his dear and intimate friends. About the time that clipper ships were superseded by steamships Capt. Morgan withdrew from active service and established the shipping house of E. E. Morgan, which in time was managed bj' Capt. Morgan's sons. His wife was ^liss Eliza Robinson, of Petersburg, Va., who was educated abroad and was married on her return from school at the age of eighteen. On graduation, Charles Leslie Morgan engaged in the shipping and commission business founded by his father and continued by his brother, William D. Morgan (Yale, '58), and by his own integrity and fidelity maintained the traditional reputation of the well-known firm which he represented. He died, after a two weeks' illness, at his country home, Great Neck, L. I., from paralysis, on May loth. 1895, at the age of 48. His firm was for many years at 70 South street, New York City, but in 1892 the address was changed to 33 South William street. He was married May 17th, 1877, to Lucy P., daughter of the Hon.

From September, 1868, till May, 1870, was clerk in the law office of Man & Parsons. He was admitted to the New York Bar in 1869. From 1870 to 1874 he practiced Law in New York City, and during that period he devoted much of his time to the study of stenography. In September, 1875, he was stricken down with a severe attack of malarial fever, which forced him to give up all active work for six months. In September, 1876, he started out as a stenographer and law reporter at No. 175 Broadway, New York City. He reported the evidence in a suit brought against the city for damages in the case of Hand vs. the Manhattan Elevated R. R. Co., where the plaintiff had lost his life. This was the first death caused by the Elevated Railroad. The jury brought in a verdict of $5,000. He also took the evidence in a suit against the city for damages arising from the death of a Ger- man peddler, who was the first victim of the electric wire. He took the testimony of the Library Experts in 1896. who were called to give their views of how the Congressional Librarj- should be governed. Remained at 175 Broadway until ^lay, 1879, when he removed to No. 140 Nassau street. New York City.

L, July 21, 1845. Died the 31st of May, 1887. He fitted for College (Yale) at the Berkshire Family School at Stockbridge, Mass., under Reid and Hoffman, and entered the Class of '67 in the Summer of 1863. In 1868 he entered the College University Law School, and, after graduating as valedic- torian, he commenced the practice of his profession in Chicago. For fifteen years he was at first alone and then successively in the firms of Palmer & Colt, Palmer & Durkee, and Styles, Lewis & Palmer. In 1884 he left Chicago and returned to his home in Stonington, Conn. He was soon after elected a member of the Connecticut Legislature and served one term (1885-86). He died suddenly in Stonington, May 31st, 1887. At the time of his death he was mak- ing arrangements to resume the practice of his profession in New York. 227 Palmer inherited much of the strength and beauty of character of his Puritan forefathers. Everj^hing that he did he did well and worthily. While devoting in college much time to reading, athletics and good fellowship, he easily maintained an excellent standing in his studies. He was one of the best, if not the best, oarsmen in our Class. As stroke of the Glyuna crew, which twice in the Spring and Fall of 1866 rowed the harbor course in the fastest time on record, he distinguished himself by his skill and nerve and courage. His quiet and unas- suming manner, his quick perception and intelligence, his energy and manliness, and his ever- cheerful, affectionate and generous disposition, inspired not only the respect but the love of his classmates. They were his friends throughout his life. As a lawyer he was careful, conscien- tious, painstaking and able. Among those who helped to lay him in his grave in that quaint old town by the sea was a classmate whom he loved, one who, on looking back through more than twenty years of close friendship, could recall no unkind word of his and no mean action and no truer friend. Who knew him least knew no wrong in him. Who knew him best loved hmi best. Indeed, he had no enemy among us. His ringing laugh, however, we shall never hear again ; his quick and friendly glance will never gladden us, but his manly bearing and his gentle heart will ever be remembered. At our last reunion, to many an eye the lights burned dim as the memory of our brave, gentle, true-hearted Lam. Palmer was recalled by the beautiful toast to our dead. "But O, for the touch of a vanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still." COLLEGE SOCIETIES, HONORS, RANK. Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Chi. D. K.

He fitted for College (Yale) at the Worcester High School under Harris B. Greene, and entered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. His father was a physician, who lived successively in Fitzwilliam, Holden and Princeton, Mass. His widowed mother resided in Worcester, Mass., while he was preparing for College, and removed with him to New Haven during his College course. He studied Theology for one year in Princeton, N. J., and for the next two years in Andover, Mass. On February 7th, 1871, he was ordained as pastor of the Davenport Con- gregational Church in New Haven, where he remained until he accepted a call, in the Fall of 229 1874, to the Second Presbyterian Church in Scranton, Pa. His work there was interrupted seriously by the state of his health, and in 1876 he resigned, to seek a more favorable climate. He was first stationed at San Diego, Cal., and then for two years (1877-79) had charge of the Presbyterian Church in Greeley, Colo. From the Fall of 1879 to May, 1885. he supplied the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church in Canon City, Colo. He then ventured to try the climate of the East again, and preached the follow-ing Winter in Scranton, Pa., but his old lung trouble returned in the Spring of 1886, and he accepted in May an invitation to the pastorate of the Presbyterian Church in Fort Collins, Colo., where he died of pneumonia, February 25th. 1889, in his forty-sixth year. Among the floral tributes that were laid on his casket was a handsome anchor, with the word "Yale" in the centre, from the Yale Association of Colorado, of which the deceased was President at the time of his death. Mr. Partridge was a strong Mason, and having expressed a desire, before his death, that he be buried according to the rites of the Masonic fraternity, his wishes were carried out. An escort of between sixty and seventy persons accompanied the remains to Greeley, Colo., where they were met by a large gathering of citizens and members of the Masonic fraternity, including twenty Knights. His remains were laid to rest in Linn Grove Cemetery, where the interment took place according to the solemn and deeply impressive rites of Masonry. He was twice married. His first wife was Mary E.

Henry B. Payne and Mary (Perry) Payne, was born at Cleveland, Ohio, March 7th, 1845. Died at Mentone, France, February 8th, 1878. He fitted for College (Yale) at the Cleveland Central High School under Dr. Theodore Sterling, and entered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. His mother was a direct descendant of Commodore Perry. Mr. Payne graduated from the Columbia Law School in May, 1870, and practiced Law for a short time at his home in Cleveland, Ohio. His health was very poor, and in January, 1877, he sailed for Europe. The Secretary received a letter from him on the 17th of Sep- tember, 1877, informing him that owing to his continued ill-health he would pass the following Winter at Mentone, in the South of France. He was at that place at the time of his death, which occurred in February of the following year. 231 In April of the same year George Adee called and spoke of the propriety of expressing to the family of our Classmate the sense of loss the Class had sustained in his death, and to tender to the family the sympathy of the Class. It was thought advisable to appoint a com- mittee, which was done. That committee consisted of Adee, Elliot, Greenwood Lamb, G. P. Sheldon and Wetmore. The following letter was drawn up by the committee, and was endorsed with a note from the Secretary and sent to the family of Mr. Payne, October 14th, 1878: New York, September 20th, 1878. To Hon. Henry B. Payne: At the earnest solicitation of the members of the Class of 1867, at Yale, we have been requested to ask, in their name, the sad privilege of sympathizing with you in your great bereavement. We hardly hope to comfort you in any degree, for we know how weak are human words in the silence which follows the Voice of God, but we cannot refrain. Harry Payne was more than a Classmate; he was a friend to each and every one of us. By his great simplicity of character, the unspotted integrity of his life, his charity, gentleness, gener- ous and abiding sympathies, he won our hearts. His influence was ever pure and clean and healthful. Although some of our members may have been intellectually his superior, yet we all re- garded him as one of our few representative men, in that he possessed in a remarkable degree that adjustment and balance of qualities which give assurance of growth and prominence. He inspired no jealousy. His success would be our success; his life our monument. We prophesied for him a long and useful career. We believed our country had need of strong, earnest and pure characters, to keep alive her institutions and bring back the sim- plicity of earlier times, and in him we expected a worker to that end. And yet God has been with us. and him, for whom and in whom we hoped. He has taken away. All is well with him. Rest and fulfillment have come. But we must mourn. He was with us in our days of hope and courage ; he looked with us from the windows of youth and promise upon the wide, untried, restless world beyond, and his words were kind and gentle and encouraging. As the years went by he did not forget us. In health and sickness the old Class was dear to him. and its memories sacred. Those of us that were present at our Decennial will never forget the greeting that he sent from beyond the sea. Death was with him then, yet in a letter full of kindly thought and pleasing remembrances he invoked the spirit of the past and we were boys again. There was that about his letter which made his presence seem real. h recalled vividly his genial smile and winning diffidence of manner. It closed with the senti- ment : "Here's health and good cheer to all." And that kindly message will never be for- gotten. At all our reunions hereafter his name will unlock and free all the pleasant recol- lections of our College life, and of us and with us he will ever be. 232 Trusting that our past relations with Harry will permit us to be in a measure sharers of your grief, and that you will not consider us as wholly strangers. Yours Sincerely, Chas. Elliot, G. P. Sheldon, Albert E. Lamb, Geo. Adee, Thomas Greenwood, Committee Class '67. Geo. p. Wetmore, W. H. Morse, Class Sec'y. The following notice of his death appeared in the Cleveland "Sunday Leader" of Feb- ruary loth, 1878: " Henry W. Payne, youngest son of Hon. H. B. Payne, and widely known in this com- munity by the familiar name of "Harry," died on Friday evening at Mentone, in the South of France. The painful intelligence, transmitted by telegraph on the night of his death, was unexpected even by his family, and has produced a profound and widespread feeling of sor- row. The deceased went abroad something more than a year ago, and had experienced such favorable effects from a genial climate and careful treatment, that confident hopes were enter- tained that he might return completely restored to health. All these anticipations have been rudely blasted by the news of his sudden death, and his bereaved family will receive the earnest sympathy of a wide circle of friends, who feel in this sudden news a keen sense of personal loss. " Henry Payne was born in this city in 1845. He graduated at Yale in the Class of ^^T, and subsequently graduated from the Columbia Law School in New York City in 1870. He had meanwhile studied Law in the office of George Willey, Esq., and soon after gradua- tion from Columbia was admitted to practice at the Bar of Cleveland. He was a young man of fine personal qualities. Manly, generous and hospitable, he was a true friend and liberal benefactor. One of the last letters he ever wrote was to his brother directing that his agent should return the rents collected of various tenants, and place a liberal sum in the hands of a friend to be distributed among the poor emigrants who passed through the city. " He died in a distant land among strangers, but attended in his last moments by his brother Nathan, who has been his associate during most of his recent journeyings abroad. He leaves behind the record of an honorable and unsullied life, to which no word of ours can add aught of endearment or respect." college societies, honors, rank.

William Adorno Peck, son of Eleazer Adorno and Lucy Elizabelih (AVildman) Peck, was born at Hartford, Conn., November 20th, 1844. He fitted for College (Yale) at the Troy Institute, New York, under W. H. Martin, and entered the Class of '67 in the Summer of 1863. His father's name was Eleazar Adorno Peck. He was not a College man. Had to work his way up from the time he was thirteen years old. For the last 38 years of his life he was pre-eminently an Insurance man. He took a local agency for the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance in the later 40's about '48 or '49. For several years he included Fire Insurance in his business, but about 1859 he gave up all but the Life Insurance, and took the general agency of the above named company for New York State outside of New York City and Long Island. That was his business till his death in 1887. His father was a lineal descendant from William Peck, one of the founders of the New Haven Colony, and was also connected with the Hamilton family. 235 His mother was a lineal descendant of the Boughton or Bouton family, one of the old families of France, with genealogy, I am told, running back to the 5th Century. After graduating he studied through the Summer of 1867, and entered Division B of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., in September, 1867, from which he graduated in June, 1869, with the degree of Civil Engineer. About July 15th, 1869, he began work as a draughtsman on the Morrisania Town Survey (later called North New York), which included the suburbs along the Harlem River, and for two or three miles north. He was obliged to leave the last week in August of that same year on account of illness. During the remainder of 1869 and the following years till 1872 he was unable to do much hard work, but employed the time, partly as assistant to the Professor of Geodesy in the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in helping look after the instruction of students in the field work, and as he became stronger, in working at his profession as Civil Engineer. Having the opportunity offered, he spent the greater part of 1872 in traveling, leaving New York. May 15th, and returning December 23rd. He traveled through several of the European countries, and went as far East as Damascus in Syria, then into Palestine and down to Egypt. The last week in July, 1873, he went to Port Kent, N.

He also was for a number of years prior to his death President of the Wyoming His- torical Society. He studied law and was admitted to practice in his native city, but, although he had an admirable equipment for success in his profession, not being obliged to depend upon it for an income, he preferred to devote his time to general business and literary and scientific pursuits. He had rare business qualifications, and possessed the absolute confidence of the community in which he lived. He took a deep interest in historical matters, and a special pvide in the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, to the published volumes of which he contributed. He was the President of the Society at the time of his death. He was a Democrat in politics and had served usefully on local committees, but declined nomination for mere public posi- tions.

Y., on February 8th, 1895, at the age of 50. He was modest in his charities, retiring in his disposition. Many men cultivate a wider circle of friends, but few can lay claim to such absolute affection and devotion on the part of intimates. He was, in all affairs with which he was connected, looked up to as a man of sound judgment, clear intuition and remarkable executive ability — honored by the community, re- spected by all who knew him. a great favorite among his intimate friends. The people lose by his death a worthy citizen and an honored member of society. He was married at Wilkesbarre, Pa., November 23rd, 1875, to .A.nnie B. Dorrance. CHILDREN.

Died there, Friday, November i8th, 1870, of inflammatory rheumatism in the region of the heart and chest, after an illness of about three weeks, and was buried the following Monday in the old cemetery in the same city. During the last three years Robinson had been engaged in studying medicine, though just previous to his death he was in the insurance business. His health had been gradually failing, but though he freely confessed that he was not well, he never seemed dispirited. At our Triennial meeting, his laugh was as merry and his greeting as cordial as any of the others. I had met him frequently of late, as he walked along the street with difficulty and pain, and yet his countenance would invariably bear its familiar pleasant smile. He remembered the old 245 College days with delight, and would often inquire of me concerning the welfare of one and another of the Class. He was a man of more than ordinary ability and attractiveness. During his College course he won the respect and friendship of his classmates, who will hear of his death with sadness, and will continue to hold him in affectionate remembrance. (C. S.

He fitted for College (Yale) under Wm. W. Richeson at Maysville Seminary, Kentucky, having been educated in the public and private schools of Mason County, and entered the Class of '67 first term Junior year. He was of German and Scotch-Irish descent. His father and grandfather were tillera of the soil, and his ancestors on this side of the house were from Connecticut and Pennsylvania. On his mother's side his ancestors were among the pioneer settlers in Kentucky, coming from Maryland and Virginia. The Civil War, which broke out just as he was passing out of boy- hood, gave him many vivid memories marked by the peculiar relation in which he .stood to the combating parties ; he had relatives who fought for and against the Stars and Stripes. After 253 graduation he studied Law at his home in Minerva, Ky., residing there for several years. In i86g he went to Chicago, 111., where he continued the study and practice of his profession. He first entered the office of Moore & Canfield, and in 187 1 was admitted to practice in Illinois. Later he joined the firm of Abbott & Oliver, which, on the death of Mr. Abbott in 1890, was known by the name of Oliver & Showalter. A close friendship sprang up between the two, and he took up his residence with the family of his partner. He had all along attended to the general practice of the law, though making something of a specialty of corporation law. In politics he adhered to the general principles of the Demo- cratic party, but never was an active seeker for office. On the 2Sth of February, 1895, President Cleveland appointed him Judge of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, embracing the States of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, an appointment which was a surprise to his friends and himself, as it was made without any solicitation on his part, through the friendship of Secretaries Morton and Gresham, backed by 'his fine legal reputation in Chicago. His recommendation for this position came from the most influential judges and lawyers, he being considered one of the best known and ablest practitioners at the Bar. The only time he essayed political preferment was in 1894, when he ran as the Demo- cratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, but was defeated by Judge Gary. His death was very sudden and came as a great blow to the Chicago Bar, by whom he was greatly beloved. Three weeks before his death he contracted a slight cold while sitting on the bench in his chambers, but, though warned to take care of himself, he thought little of it. His associate Judges, Jenkins and Wood, had gone to their homes in Milwaukee and In dianapolis several days before, suffering from slight colds. Resolutions of sorrow and regret were passed at a meeting of the Judges of the Federal, State and County Courts held at the Lincoln Club, and addresses of eulogy were made by Judges Freeman, Burke and Elliott. Members of the Chicago Bar, the Patent Lawyers' Association and Illinois Club were selected to act as pall-bearers, the remains being taken to Georgetown, Ky., after a simple service at his late residence. While in College he gave promise of his future success. After a close and spirited con- test for Class Orator, he was elected by a small majority. His oration on presentation day was one of the finest productions our Class ever listened to. Our friend never married. He was devotedly attached to his mother, whom he wor- shiped. She survives him.

He fitted for College (Yale) at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., under Dr. S. H. Tay- lor, and entered the Class of '67 in the Summer of 1863. His father was a clergyman, and was settled over the Second Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, N. Y.. for tw.enty-two years.

Thomas Spencer was the second son of Sir Thomas Spencer, of Womleighton, Northamptonshire, England, where in the parish church are the tombs of his ancestors for centuries — one was a Crusader, John Spencer — and where the tower of the family castle still stands (the rest was battered down by 261 the Roundheads in Cromwell's time). From it can be perceived the turrets of the abode of the present head of the family, Earl Spencer, at one time Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and known as possessing the finest private library in England. The genealogy runs uninterruptedly back to a Baron Hugh De Spencer, who came over with William the Conqueror. The family in this country has not fallen below its record. The men have been mostly judges, clergymen, physicians, lawyers and members of the Legislatures. A great-uncle was Governor of Ver- mont; a cousin, John C. Spencer, Secretary of War in i8[2.

He fitted for College (Yale) under J. W. Hall at the Dayton Central High School, and entered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. Died suddenly at Dayton, Ohio, May 31st, 1887. After graduation was engaged for five years in the manufacture of linseed oil, varnish and paints at Dayton, Ohio ; two years he spent m the manufacture of brass goods, and then was engaged until the time of his death in the manufacture of agricultural implements. To every man of the Class of '67 his death was a personal loss. As a classmate he will ever be remembered. His presence was singularly attractive, his character was pure, his dis- position gentle, his manner winning. He gave the world assurance of a man. He fulfilled the promise of his youth. The following note appeared in the "Dayton Journal." We who re- member him so well read this tribute to a noble life with mingled feelings of joy and sadness: 267 " The universal expression of sorrow throughout the city which followed the announce- ment of E. Fowler Stoddard's death was the highest tribute that could be paid to the memory of a singularly pure, upright and noble character. It was felt on all sides that the community had sustained an immeasurable loss, and those who were not favored with the pleasure of intimate association with him, appreciated none the less the sterling qualities of manhood that made him a valuable citizen, a beloved friend and a model parent and husband. From his early boyhood he was distinguished for his buoyancy of spirits, and his generous and untiring energy in all his undertakings. In his mature years these characteristics were intensified, and in all his business, social and church relationships he retained his youthful ardor and gave the whole measure of his powers to the performance of his duties. Everything that claimed his attention felt his quickening impulse. " He was the son of Henry and Susan Stoddard, and was born on the i6th of July, 1845, in a house which occupied the site of the home he lived in nearly the whole of his life. After completing the city school course he entered Yale College and was graduated in 1867. The same devoted attachment of friends that marked his later years existed in his College life, and he was one of those princes of good fellows whom his mates delighted to honor with the coveted emblem of good fellowship, the traditional wooden spoon. In 1868 he engaged with his brother, John W. Stoddard, in the manufacture of linseed oil. In 1872 he was appointed Superintendent of the Dayton Steam Gauge Company, where he continued until 1875, when the Stoddard Rake Manufacturing firm was organized, and he became a leading member, and was Vice-President and Superintendent of the company at the time of his death. Here he showed fine business ability, and was given the esteem and confidence of the large force of workmen employed to an unusual degree. His straightforward, manly qualities were every- where recognized, and his associates all felt they had in him a firm friend and judicious coun- sellor. "His devotion to his business was equaled only by his devotion to his Church, Christ Episcopal, of which he was long a member, and here the practical and earnest side of his character was continually manifested in his untiring efforts to promote its interests. Simple, unaffected and earnest, he was, at the same time, an acknowledged leader, and the genuine Christian character he always displayed was in a high degree inspiring to all of his associates. He was particularly interested in the Sunday-school work, and was superintendent for some time of the parent school, and one of the chief promoters of this mission work. His relaxation from business was mainly found in field sports, of which he was a great lover. Few men had a wider or more accurate knowledge of hunting dogs, and he enjoyed a national reputation for the value and reliability of his judgment in such affairs. His latest . public work was in and of the new board of trade, and it was while returning from a meet- ing of its board of managers, of which he was a member, that he met his untimely fate."

Strong (Dartmouth, 1829) and Caroline Frances (Green) Strong, was born at Mineral Point, Wisconsin, June 17, 1846. Died August 18, 1877. He fitted for College (Yale) under G. M. Skinner at Mineral Point, Wis., and en- tered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. His father was a lawyer. Mrs. Moses M. Strong was Caroline Frances Green, daughter of Dr. Isaac Green, of Windsor, Vt. Moses M. Strong was born in Vermont in 1810, his parents living in Rutland. He came to Wisconsin in 1836, was appointed U. S. Attorney for Wisconsin Territory in 1838 ; was President of Legislative Council in 1842-43 ; was Speaker of Wisconsin As- sembly in 1850; was delegate to Constitutional Convention in 1846 and a member of the As- sembly in 1857. Was President of State Bar Association of Wisconsin from its organization 271 until he resigned the office, in July, 1894. Shortly before his death he was appointed Chan- cellor of the diocese of Milwaukee in the Episcopal Church. Moses Strong was drowned August 18, 1877, in the Big Flambeau River, near Stevens Point, Wis. After graduating from Yale he remained at the Sheffield Scientific School until July, 1868. In 1869 he became a student at Clausthal Hartz, Germany; in 1870, was a student at Freiburg, Sachsen, Germany. From 1871 to 1872 he was civil engineer on the Northern Pacific and Wisconsin Central Railways. From 1873 to 1877 was on the Wisconsin Geo- logical Survey, acting as Assistant State Geologist. We have received the appended notices concerning his melancholy death : The following from the pen of the State Geologist, which we find in the Madison "Journal," will be read with pleased interest in this community, where Mr. Strong's worth was so generally recognized and so highly appreciated. The details of the circumstances attending his death, as published in the "Democrat" at the time, are so accurate and com- plete as to forbid any attempt on our part to improve upon it, hence we reproduce the important part thereof. (From the National Democrat.) " His object was to make a geological examination of all the branches of the Chippewa River, one of the largest of which is the Flambeau River, laid down on some maps as the Manedowish. "He left Stevens Point on Thursday, the i6th, accompanied by William P. Gundry, of Mineral Point, and John Hawn, of Stevens Point, a guide whom he had hired, who was familiarly known as 'Sailor Jack,' and who was an experienced woodman, and an expert in canoe navigation. The party went by railroad to the crossing of the Flambeau River, where they arrived about 6 o'clock P. M. The next day — Friday — was spent in procuring boats and other preparations for ascending the river. Mr. Strong obtained a light skiff, made of riven white cedar, which he thought well adapted to the purposes for which he wished to use it. He also obtained a birch bark canoe, in which were to be transported the supplies and camp equipage for the party of three. They commenced the ascent of the Flambeau on Saturday morning, and continuea it for nine or ten miles without any remarkable incident, until nearly 3 o'clock P. M., when they came to some rapids, supposed to be in Sec. 28, T. 41, R. i, E. The rapids were about 150 feet from the foot to the head. The bed of the river was filled with numerous rocks, over and about which the water rushed rapidly. 'Sailor Jack' took the lead in the bark canoe and its freight, followed by Mr. Strong and young Gundry in the cedar skiff. Jack had reached the head of the rapids, or nearly so, as the others were entering upon the ascent. Strong was standing in the bow of the skiff, using a long light pole for propelling it, while Gundry was sitting in the stern, using the oars for the same purpose. Near the foot of the rapids was a rock, past which they pushed the skiff far enough so that the current struck its bow and turned it around the rock in such a manner that the whole force of the current. 272 striking the boat broadsides, tipped it over. As it was about going over, Strong jurrjped from it into the water, and stood upon a rock in the bed of the river, over which the water was about three and a half feet deep and came up to his waist. Immediately below the rock where he was standing and holding on to the skiff the water was twelve feet deep, into which Gundry went, as the skiff upset. At that instant he halloed to Strong: 'I can't swim.' who replied, 'Hold to the boat.' Gundry held on at first, but in attempting to get a better hold, or in some way, lost his hold of the boat, and was carried into the water, into which he was sinking. Simultaneously the skiff went down stream, and Strong left his position of com- parative safety and was immediately in the deep water, and sunk to the bottom of it, to rise no more. " Why he left the place where he was standing and let the boat go, is a matter of conjecture. One theory is that he slipped and could stand there no longer, but this is not as probable as is the theory of the men who were engaged in searching for his body, which is that as soon as he saw that his friend and protege, Gundry, had lost his hold of the boat and was sinking, he threw himself into the deep water in the vain (as it proved) effort to save his companion from drowning. He was a good swimmer, very self-confident and self-reliant, and would not have been likely to apprehend any disaster to himself in an effort to save his friend, and if he had, the apprehension would not have deterred him. " The reason why he did not reach Gundry is very satisfactorily explained by Gundry him- self, who says that while he was under water he distinctly saw Strong, with his legs drawn up, as in a sitting position, and his arms bent in front of his breast, in which position he sank. It therefore would seem to be quite certain that in his effort to save Gundry Mr. Strong was seized with cramps, which deprived him of the power of swimming, and resulted in his own drowning, and the certainty is increased by the fact that the body was found on the bottom of the river, not more than thirty or forty feet from where he had been standing." (From the State Journal.) " Rarely have we been called upon to chronicle a sadder event than that borne to us yes- terday in the announcement of the sudden death of Moses Strong, Assistant State Geologist. A young man in the early prime of life, in the full exercise of manly strength and vigor- ous health, in the rich endowment of a rare intellect, in the midst of active duty, on the eve of realizing the first grateful fruits of his faithful labors, amid the dawn of promising hopes of a bright future, rejoicing in the love of a devoted wife, fondly called father by loving and tender children, devotedly loved by parents and kindred, admired by friends and honored by the Commonwealth, to be suddenly called from all these is an event of no common sad- ness. Yet through this sadness shines the grateful fact that his last hour was devoted to the performance of duty and the development of truth. " Early in the season Mr. Strong had explored a large tract, occupied by the copper- bearing formation in the region of the Upper St. Croix River, in continuation of his import- ant investigations of last year, and, having completed that, had examined the Huronian for- 273 mation of Barron County with his accustomed abiHty and success. Subsequently he spent a short time at his home, and in Madison, revising the proof of his contribution to the forth- coming volume of the report of the Geological Survey. He had but just returned to the field, and was entering upon an extensive series of explorations in the valley of the Chip- pewa River and its tributaries, which were to complete his field work upon the survey, when the sad accident befell him. His loss to the survey will be irreparable. Yet such were his careful and painstaking habits that his clear and accurate notes and sketches will reduce this loss, as far as the past is concerned, to a minimum. He had elaborated, so far as the state of progress of the field would advantageously permit, the results of his last year's explorations upon the copper-bearing series. The notes, sketches and maps of the work are left essen- tially as they were taken in the field, and never can receive at the hands of another that full- ness and completeness of elaboration which they would have received from their author. " Mr. Strong possessed an education of unusual excellence. To a sound academical edu- cation, he added the classical culture of Yale College and a professional training of a Ger- man University. In character he was modest and unassuming, and commanded respect rather by the merits he could not conceal than by any that were assumed. His quiet manner never fully revealed the real administrative strength which he possessed. With most men a liberal discount may be made in what they seem to do, in ascertaining what they really ac- complish, but with Mr. Strong a generous percentage was always to be added to appear- ances to obtain the fact. To attractive personal traits he added an integrity that was ab- solutely above question, and a candor and honesty of expression that were eminent. As a co-laborer in the scientific investigation of the structure of the State, he enjoyed the unhesi- tating confidence and admiration of his associates. " The shadow of a deep loss has thrice been thrown across the history of the survey ; a Lapham, an Eaton, a Strong : honored names, yet alas the sacrifice. • T, C. C."

Alfonso Taft (Yale, 1833) and Fanny (Phelps; Taft, was born at Cincinnati, Ohio, May loth, 1846; died June 3d, 1889. He fitted for College (Yale) at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., and entered the Class of '67 in the Fall of 1863. His father, Alphonso Taft, was a distinguished lawyer and judge, and was appointed At- torney General in the second term of General Grant's administration. His four brothers graduated as follows: Charles P., Yale '64; VVm. H., Yale '78; Henry W., Yale '80; and Horace D., Yale '83. A few months after he was graduated Taft had a severe attack of typhoid fever, pro- ducing violent delirium, to which serious later results may be traced. As soon as he had recovered sufficiently he went abroad and spent three years in study and travel. With characteristic thoroughness, he devoted himself to the languages, and acquired fluency in 2-]-} both French and German. Returning to Cincinnati, he entered upon the study of the law, and was admitted to the practice in 1870. At this time his father, Alphonso Taft, then on the bench of the Superior Court of Cincinnati, resigned to resume the practice with his sons — Charles, of Yale '64, and Peter — as A. Taft & Sons. The firm was a succesbful one. Peter, the youngest member, developed a remarkable capacity for the practice of the law, and in the next six years demonstrated that he must soon become a leader of the Bar. Taft's devotion to business and legal study grew unnatural in its intensity until it became evident that his mind was seriously affected. Finally he broke down and gave up the prac- tice altogether. As is not unusual in such cases, he withdrew from all intercourse with society and lived the life of a recluse until his mind, intensely active and restless, wore out his body, and he died of consumption on June 3rd, 1889, at the age of 44.

He fitted for College (Yale) at Erie Academy, and entered the Class of '67 in the Summer of 1863. His father was Bethuel Boyd Vincent, of Erie, Pa. He was not a college man. At his death he was by profession a banker. His ancestry on the paternal side is French Huguenot. His ancestors in this country emigrated from the little town of Soubise, on the west coast of France, in the closing years of the 17th century. His immediate ancestors lived in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On the maternal side his ancestry was Puritan, his mother's maiden name being Strong. His theological studies were carried on at Berkeley, where he completed his course in 1871. In the same year Bishop Kerfoot ordained him to the diaconate, and he began his ministry 285 as assistant to the Rev. J. F. Spalding, then rector of St. Paul's, Erie, and now Bishop of Colorado. The little Mission of Cross and Crown, connected with St. Paul's, was the field of Vincent's first ministerial work. He had alread}^ done service there as lay reader and Super- intendent of the Sunday School. In 1872 he was advanced to the priesthood by Bishop Kerfoot in St. Paul's Church. In 1874 Calvary Church. Pittsburg, was without a rector. The parish was in a critical condition. The Rev. Mr. Wilson, its former rector, a man of unquestioned ability, earnest- ness and devotion, respected and beloved by all the congregatioift had felt it his duty to with- draw from the ministrj' of the Church, and to give his strength and himself to the new move- ment (for which great things were then hoped), which was led by Bishop Cummins. Mr. Wilson had resigned his rectorship and organized a Reformed Episcopal congregation made up of his followers from the Parish Church. They had built a little meeting house, a stone's throw from Calvary. Everything was in deplorable confusion. It was at this juncture that Bishop Kerfoot told the Calvary vestrv that the man they needed lived in Erie, and that his name was Vincent. The vestry followed the Bishop's advice, and Vincent accepted the forlorn rectorship. At once things began to change. Separ- ation ceased, people began to come back and get in their old places. The Rev. Mr. Wilson was called to a new field and accepted the call, and not long after the little Reformed Episcopal Church had three or four partitions put across it and was turned into a tenement house. Mr. Vincent was rector of Calvary for fourteen years. They were years of steady growth, unbroken harmony and prosperity. When the rector was called to the episcopate the Church had 615 communicants. It included three missions, one of which, two miles away from the Parish Church, was holding full independent service, with a communicant list of 100 names, the other two having since become self-supporting parishes. The rector was aided by two assistants. The parish was thoroughly organized for work. The Parish Guild had between three and four hundred members. There were between seven and eight hundred children in the Sunday schools. The little broken parish had grown under wise leadership to be the foremost parish in the Diocese in zeal, in numbers and in good works.

Our classmate died November 7th, 1897, from nervous prostration. The "Republican," an Auburn paper, speaks of him as follows : " Mr. Wright was in many respects a remarkable man. He was a fine classical scholar, and had few equals as a student of history and general literature. He was of bright, genial disposition, of kindly nature, lenient in his judgment of his fellow-men, and never too wearied or too engrossed in business to lend a helping hand when help was needed. As a husband and father the sunny characteristics of his nature banished care and anxiety, and brought comfort, contentment and peace to his household. He believed and trusted in God. Conscious of his own demerits, he with confidence rested his interests in the present and the future in the hands of infinite wisdom and love." COLLEGE SOCIETIES, HONORS, RANK.

He prepared for Yale at his home, under J. F. Seller, and entered the Class of '67 in the Fall of '63. He left '67 at the end of the Sophomore year. He was engaged for a time in the lumber and saw-mill business. Afterwards studied law, was admitted to the Bar. and is practicing his profession at his home in Harrisburg. He answers the Secretary's circular in his own humorous way, as follows : Samuel S. Bigler, my father, was not a college man. Occupation, lumber business and owner of saw-mills. My mother's name was Sarah Findley Laird. Her business was marrying my father. Her success in this business has been regretted not only by her descendants, but also by people who have known her descendants. 313 I am now tracing my ancestry back, and have every hope of being ehgible in a double degree to the highest place in the new society lately started in New York called the "Order of the Crown." One of my ancestors descended from an English king. The other from a French king. If the "Order of the Crown" recognizes true merit and pure lineal descent, I will be elected king, and this, too, at a less cost than a seat in the United States Senate could be purchased for. ^' COLLEGE SOCIETIES, HONORS, RANK.

He fitted for college under Professor Arthur M. Wheeler, of New Haven. Conn., and en- tered the Class of '67 in the Summer of "63. Continued ill health obliged him to leave the Class early in September, 1864. Since that period up to his death, which occurred very sud- denly on September 14th, 1872. he had passed a great deal of his time in foreign travel. The following notices of his early life and death are from the Fall River papers, and have been very kindly furnished me by Edward Van Schoonhoven : " It is with feelings of great sorrow that we are called upon to announce the sudden death of one of our leading citizens, Bradford ^L C. Durfee. Esq.. who died last evening at his resi- dence. North Main street, of passive congestion of the brain. Mr. Durfee had not been in his usual health for about three months, but this sudden termination of his life oi usefulness on earth was hardly expected by even his most intimate friends. He suffered a severe attack early in the morning, but during the day was better, and hopes were entertained, as he rallied from it. that he would fully recover; but with the evening came a second attack, and he passed away a little before 8 o'clock " Mr. Durfee was born in this city on the 15th of June, 1843, and was in the thirtieth year of his age at the time of his decease. His honored father. Major Bradford Durfee, so well and so widely known as one of the most enterprising of our business men of the past genera- tion, died very suddenly in the Summer of that year, leaving his only son an infant a few weeks old. The son was very carefully brought up by his most excellent mother, who watched over him 322 as only such a mother can ; and though he never possessed robust health, he entered Yale Col- lege, where he has left a perpetual memorial of his attachment to that institution, and his love of sound learning and thorough culture, in the beautiful Durfee Dormitory, which he gave to Yale, and which is one of the finest buildings that any college in New England possesses. His health not permitting the continuance of his studies at the College, he retired and went to Europe for two years, where he traveled extensively, gathering rich stores of information, and upon his return home he engaged in the duties of business, in which he took an active in- terest and manifested talents of a superior order. He was President of the Durfee Mills and Vice-President of the First National Bank. He was als-o a director in the Fall River Iron Works Company, the American Print Works Company, the Slade Mills and Mechanics' Mills, and Fall River Manufactory, and was recently appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury one of the Commissioners to locate the Postoffice for our city. During one of his visits to Europe he was appointed one of the Commissioners to represent our State at the great Expo- sition in Paris, 1867. His love of art, in which he took great interest, led him to purchase at that time the cartoon of the 'Era of the Reformation,' by Kulbach. He visited the West Indies two or three years ago, in his own yacht, increasing his knowledge of the productions of other climes. " Mr. Durfee was of a most modest and retiring disposition. He shrank from public ob- servation, and loved to do things quietly and in his own way. He was known fully only by those who were intimately acquainted with him, and by them his qualities of mind and heart were most highly appreciated. He saw through all the coverings of a question, and penetrated to its core with a power of common sense which is hut very seldom met with. Large-minded and generous, he was quietly maturing plans which would in their completion have given the city one of its finest edifices, but in the midst of his career, as life was opening into broader spheres of usefulness, he was suddenly removed to another world of life and duty, where all that is best here shall ripen into finer fruitage there." The following refers more particularly to the funeral exercises : " The funeral of the late Mr. Bradford M. C. Durfee took place in this city Tuesday. There was a brief and impressive service at his late residence. No. ^2 North Main street, at half-past eleven o'clock A. M., at which the family, relatives and immediate friends were present, conducted by Rev. J. L. Diman, of Providence, a former pastor of the First Con- gregational Church, and an intimate friend of the deceased. " After the conclusion of the services at the house, the casket containing the remains of the deceased was tenderly borne to the First Congregational Church by his uncles, the Rev. Dr. Roswell D. Hitchcock, of New York ; Wm. B. Brayton, David A. Brayton and John S. Brayton, of Fall River; Israel P. Brayton, of Somer.set, and Hezekiah A. Brayton, of New York, followed by the sorrowing family and relatives and friends in deepest sympathy. The street was filled with a large concourse of people, who testified by their silent presence their respect for the departed. The services at the Church commenced with a soft voluntary upon the organ and the choir sang the beautiful hymn, 'Thy Will be Done.' " The Rev. Mr. Adams, pastor of the Church, read the 90th Psalm and appropriate se- lections from the Scriptures. The Rev. Mr. Diman delivered the address, in which he spoke of the life and character of Mr. Durfee, with whom he had been acquainted from his boyhood. He traced with careful analysis and great discrimination the influence of his home training upon his life, and spoke of the simplicity, purity, and integrity of his character ; of his mental traits, of which he said if his physical strength had been equal to his mental capacity he would have been second to none of the leading men whose business energies have made Fall River what it is. Mr. Diman also spoke of his benevolence, and of his unselfish desire to help others ; his large plans for the future, and his respect for sacred things. The address was a beautiful tribute of respect and esteem for his former pupil and friend. Mr. Adams then made a most impressive and solemn prayer. A hymn by the choir closed the services at the Church. "An opportunity was then given for all in the Church to look at the body, and there was poch a vast concourse of people it took more than an hour to accomplish this. The five mills, in which Mr. Durfee was one of the chief owners, were closed, and all the operatives were there to take their last look at one whom they had so often seen. '■ The exercises in the Church being closed, the procession formed and moved to the cemetery, the largest procession I ever saw. The casket was placed in a funeral car formed of one of Mr. Durfee's carriages and driven by his own coacnman, who had been in his em- ploy for several years. " The remains were interred at Oak Grove Cemetery, the services there being conducted by Re\. Dr. Hitchcock. The soft dripping of the rain from the leaves and the gentle sighing of the wind made a mournful requiem. The dead was laid in his narrow bed, and we turned away with sorrowing hearts as we left him alone in his last earthly resting place. " Into the sorrows of her who laid there her only one we cannot enter. We dare not draw the veil which should hide from the world such sacred sorrow as hers. " Friends from all parts of the country went down to Fall River to pay their last tribute of respect and affection to one who was worthy of all the esteem bestowed upon him. There were many college-mates present, as well as friends of boyish days. " President Porter and Professor Wheeler, of Yale College, were also there. Immense crowds of people were in the streets. Never before was such a day known in Fall River. Mr. Durfee's death called forth the best feelings and earnest sympathies of all his fellow- townsmen. A young man of vast possessions and of great promise, one around whom clustered the dearest find holiest ties, was suddenly stricken down in the very prime and vigor of his man- hood, and everybody mourned the loss."

At the end of the Sophomore year he obtained leave of absence and taught a year to replenish his finances, joining the Class of '68 at the commencement of Junior year, graduating with that Class. In October. 1868, he opened an English and Classical School at Broad and Market streets, Philadelphia, with seven pupils. In January, 1870, in company with John G. Moore, he pur- chased the private school of Caleb S. Hallowell, and transferred his pupils to the rooms for- merly occupied by Mr. Hallowell, on Tenth street, above Arch, and there mustered about fifty scholars. 327 During the Summer of 1870 he moved into a new building on Ninth street, above Arch, and opened with increased numbers under the title of "Hallowell Select High School." As his partner, Mr. Moore, was absent a good deal, delivering lectures upon science, he was the recognized head of the institution. Mr. Moore died of consumption in April, 1872, and after July 1st of that year Eastburn was the sole proprietor, Principal, Board of Trustees and Treasurer. He could accommodate only about seventy pupils in the building on Ninth street, and judged it necessary to obtain as soon as practicable other quarters. In September, 1877, he opened his school at the northwest corner of Broad Street and Fairmount avenue, where he remained for sixteen years. When he moved into his present quarters he adopted a new name — "North Broad Street Select School." In 1893, in compliance w^ith the request of the Alumni of the school at their meeting in December previous, the name was changed to "Eastburn Academy." The institution is in a very flourishing condition. Its catalogue contains the names of one hundred and sixty pupils, and among its graduates are many who have entered the aca- demical and scientific departments of Yale.

Morse, Secretary: " Dear Classmate : — I do not know as I have anything especial to communicate since 1875. I have been practicing as a physician continuously since 1873, and expect to keep at it until I 339 am called to a higher (or lower) sphere of usefulness. My success has been about that of the average country doctor, i.e., I am 'fat, ragged and sassy,' and I guess am poorer than when I began. I believe I have the respect of most of the good citizens of New Rochelle, and have no judgments recorded against me. My family, so far as I know, has not increased or decreased. I have been very near dying on three occasions in one j'ear. In fact, I had three kinds of pneumonia in that year (and the next year took the "Keeley cure") and am still alive. For the past four years I have been actively engaged as a member of the Board of Health in suppressing nuisances, and it is now my second year as President of that body. I be- lieve that is the only honor I ever obtained in my life. "Yours very sincerely, H. K. Huntington." He was married to Frances Figanierre. at New York City, September 23d, 1873.

Frank Griffith Newlands, son of James Birney and Jessie (Barland) Newlands, was born at Natchez, Miss., August 28th, 1848. When quite a young man he determined to follow the legal profession. He attended school at Quincy and Pagom, 111., and the high school at Chicago, and was trained for Yale by a private tutor in Washington. While at Yale he devoted much of his time to literature, giv- ing attention to the debates, and was welcome in the social life of the College. Owing to financial circumstances, he was unable to continue his college course and left in the third term (Junior year), although friends offered to assist him. His father, James Birney Newlands, was born in Scotland. He was a graduate of the University of Edinburgh and became a distinguished physician, being a man of great natural attainments and wide experience. He first settled at Troy, N. Y., then went South, and finally settled in Quincy, 111., where he died, leaving his family in straitened circumstances. Al- though possessed of a fine income, he spent it all in a too liberal life. He died when New- lands was but three years old. 353 Newlands' mother, Jessie Barland, was a native of Perth, Scotland, a woman of great personal attraction, culture, intellect, and highly accomplished in music. After leaving Yale he went to Washington, where, with the influence of Governor Gris- wold, of New York, he secured a position in the Civil Service which enabled him to pursue the study of law at the Columbia University Law School. Upon being admitted to the Bar in 1869, at the age of 21, he determined to try his fortune in San Francisco. With numerous letters of introduction he arrived at the Pacific Coast in 1870. Finding it difficult to get started, he made himself familiar with office work and the practice of the couits, then secured desk room in the office of a prominent lawyer. Failing to acquire business as rapidly as he wished, he endeavored to gain a footing by volunteering to act as counsel for the defense in criminal cases. After a year spent successfully in this work he obtained a client from Judge D. R. Lake, the Judge before whom he practiced in the criminal court, and was also retained by some of the prominent lawyers as assistant counsel, being given some of their simpler cases to try. Being successful in this, his practice rapidly increased, and the second year found him with an income of several thousand dollars and each year increasing. Among his clients might be mentioned the Spring Valley Water Works, the Bank of California, the Odd Fellows' Bank vs. William Sharon. Mr. Newlands continued in active practice until 1885. During his residence in San Francisco he was always identified with movements looking toward the improvement of the city. During his youthful days he was a great admirer of Lincoln, but after his death, owing to the repressive measures resorted to by Congress in its dealings with the South, he became a Democrat. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the Democratic State Central Committee in the Hancock campaign in 1889. In 1887 he was prominently mentioned for a seat in the U. S. Senate, but was defeated. In 1889 he moved to Nevada on account of the fine opportunities for enterprise afforded by the undeveloped resources of the western portion of that State. He selected Reno as his place of residence, and engaged in enterprises for the improvement of the State, thereby making the population treble in a very short time. On account of large investments which were made in the District of Columbia by Senator Sharon he has found it necessary to spend a part of his time within the last few years at the National Capital. Handsome residences have been constructed by the estate within the past few years, and the erection of the town of Chevy Chase in Maryland, near the boundary line of the District of Columbia, has resulted, this latter involving the grading and opening of streets, the con- struction of thorough systems of sewerage, water supplies, electric lights and all other features of a modern town. He purchased from ex-President Cleveland, as a Summer residence, the beautiful piece of property known as Oak View, situated about two miles from the White House and com- manding a splendid view of the Capital City from its verandas. He was chosen by the Governor of Nevada as a delegate from that State to the Silver Convention which was held in St. Louis in 1889. He was made Vice-President of the Execu- 354 live Silver Convention. His name had been prominently before the people of the State of Nevada for its Governor, but he had thus far preferred to be identified with measures rather than politics, and refused to allow his name to be presented as a candidate for the office.

For over twenty years he was a director in the National Bank of Commerce, one of the largest institutions in St. Louis. He was an active and well known member of several com- mercial and social clubs. He was a man of rare business judgment, intimate with few, but devoted to his family and chosen friends. During his last illness he received the notice of the Class meeting, at which he expressed great pleasure, and declared his intention of attending and seeing "the boys" once more. He often spoke with great affection of various members of the Class and his life at Yale. The esteem in which he was held in St. Louis is best made known by the accompanying resolutions adopted by the Bank of Commerce, with which he was so intimately connected : THE NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE. St. Louis, May ist, 1897. To the Shareholders in the National Bank of Commerce, in St. Louis : -- It is with sorrow and regret that we announce to you the death of one of your Board of Directors, Mr. George Janvier Plant, who has for twenty-two years given us the benefit of his rare judgment and experience, and by his loyalty to your interests has had a large share in placing your institution in the position it now occupies. Modest, dignified, upright, wise and liberal, Mr. Plant filled a large place in the hearts of his associates, who now mourn his loss and realize how much his wise counsels have done to shape the policy of this corporation. He leaves with us the memory of a life of spotless integrity, honor and faithfulness to every trust that will add another line to the bright record of those whose lives have maintained our city's reputation.

Whiton, at the Hopkins Grammar School. New Haven. Conn., and entered the Class of '67 in the Summer of '63. He left the Class at the end of the Junior year. His ancestors were English both on the paternal and maternal side of the house. They emigrated from England in the sixteenth century. His great-grandfather, on the paternal side, gave the lot and erected the first school hoase in East Douglas. Mass. They were Whigs to the marrow and served almost to a man in the Revolutionary War. His grand- father's name was Federal Constitution Sprague. He lived and died in Thompson. Conn. His mother was a daughter of Josiah Sessions, of Thompson. Conn. His father, her grand- father, was one of the patriots that helped throw the tea overboard in Boston Harbor. One 367 of his ancestors, a prominent deacon in the Church, once shot a deer on Sunday to obtain food for his family. For this he was arraigned before the Church, and it was sought to excommunicate him. This was at a time in the history of the Colonies when people carried their guns to meeting to guard against attacks from the Indians. In the midst of the meeting he stood up, and looking the Minister steadily in the face said : "If you turn mc out of the Church I will shoot you." This had its effect, for the people had immediate respect for this Ecclesiastical Cannon ! On his mother's side of the house the "Sessions" were men of large frame and of tall stature. His grandfather, on his mother's side, was six feet three. No wonder our class- mate, who inherited his height, was passed gently over the heads of his fellows at Linonia Hall in the Fall of '63.

His address is in care of John Drescoll, 671 Main street, Bridgeport, Conn. On June 6, 1898, he writes to the Secretary as follows : " The late President of the Historical Society has prepared us a "family tree' with many notable names galore. On a little inconspicuous twig appears in small characters the name of our mutual friend, Leonard Sterling. " After my father's death I made the discovery that wealth hath wings larger than any eagle's or condor's. One day, long ago, I remember Professor Gibbs .said with much de- cision 'That is sufficient,' when I ventured to suggest that pecunia comes from pennae ; though 1 think I had some humorous idea in my mind at that time. I now sadly know ic is connected with pennae. whatever Professor Gibbs and the dictionaries may say to the contrary. But I shall not die under the yellow flag. " I keep up the acquaintance of those dear old ancient ladies, the celebrated Nine, includ- ing her whom Keats styles, "La belle dame sans merci.' I do not try the dyspeptic Greek, as there is no 'Charon' to help me over the Styx. (Do you remember how Professor Packard thought he had us all without redemption at last, and how 'Charon' came in at the final mo- ment and saved the wreck?) I read the modern ones not for instruction, but very much as Thoreau kept chickens, 'Not for their eggs, but for their song.' " I may add that I am still crowned with the berries of the laurel : so my life's work is still to begin, if what my benedict friends affirm be true. " I sympathize with you in your labors, and trust you will be amply successful. The words of the poet suggest themselves : " 'And now, when long, long years have passed, Some old fellow will be the last — When he lies down, but not till then. Our kind Class Angel will drop the pen. That writes in the day-book kept above, Our life-long record of faith and love ; So here's a health, in homely rhyme. To our oldest class-mate. Father Time ; May our last survivor live to be As bald and as wise and as tough as he ! ' .369 "And now may I wish peace, hope, courage, faith and all the virtues and beatitudes to be and abide now and forever with every brave and strenuous heart? Yours very truly, '"Leonard SrEKLiNc."
