FIVE YEAR RECORD CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIVE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL YALE UNIVERSITY COMPILED BY WILLIAM McK. BARBER CLASS SECRETARY I9IO x^o^ PREFACE It was the editor's intention to publish a record of the Class three years after graduation and with that end in view work on the collection of data was begun. Shortly after that time it was proposed by some of the secretaries of later classes that the Tri- ennial book be omitted and a record published instead at five- year intervals. This plan I have adopted in this book, which is the first to be published of the suggested "five-year records." There are, no doubt, faults in the book, many things not appearing that should appear and some things appearing that should not appear, and the editor will be glad to receive any criticism of the work. A comparison of the locality index with the permanent address list will be of assistance in locating a classmate. The editor wishes to thank those members of the Class who have assisted him in this work; especially Dick Whittier and Alec Lawton for their articles on Triennial, Lowell Clucas for his account of the Alumni University Fund, and Cliff Bates for his account of Sheff since 1905. Much of the biographical work and the preparation and compilation of the statistical tables has been done by the Class Secretaries Bureau and the editor wishes to express his appreciation to the director of this bureau, Edwin Rogers Embree, for his personal assistance and counsel.

Some had been in training there since Saturday — a few were found wandering around the town, and others were reported as having gone to Momauguin and the Rock. Monday morning the crowd met at the Tont to get their torea- dor costumes. Low Clucas had ordered fifty-four-inch trousers for a thirty-four-inch length of limb, but the shears fixed that. He and Freddie Becker bought out an Italian organ-grinder and made their fortunes in a jaunt about the city, as "Pedro and da Monk." When everybody had satisfied himself as to his appearance as "The Toreador" about half the Class gathered at Heub's to dis- cuss lunch and "that which made Milwaukee jealous." The torea- dor song was tried with other close harmony, and went better at each repetition. Then an adjournment was taken to Momau- guin and everyone went in for a dip. Stone gave an exhibition of the "crawl" and Clucas started on a long distance swim to Spain. The Class decided that they could not afford to lose him, and sent out a life-boat to bring him back. Everyone met at the Tont in the evening, and took the trolley to the Rock. The crowd held together for the first part of the evening and tried the "Human Roulette Wheel," which didn't improve the costumes any, and left a good deal of cuticle hang- ing around the floor. Then the "Chutes," "Down and Out," "Tickler" and "Merry-go-round" all had a turn, and finally Mart Baldwin arrived, immaculate in citizen's clothes. They tried so hard to get him on the roulette wheel, but sartorial instincts prevailed and the "best-dressed man" refused to lose his reputation. Tuesday morning Bill Barber called the roll of the Class meet- ing. Ninety-six responded, including Pete Grant's "not pre- 4 ■ REUNIONS pared." The Secretary spoke of the Class Record, and after other business was transacted, the Triennial Committee, composed of Simmons, Curtis and Barber, was reelected as a Sexennial Committee, with Martin Baldwin as an additional member. Then the Class picture was taken and everyone marched to the Hof-Brau for lunch. The shower induced the wise ones to get rubber blankets, but it cleared before the march to the field. Out there there was a bull-fight, in which Pete Grant as the forequarters was nearly killed by an irate cop — a free fight with the Irish Harrigans — and when the Class was finally seated it bought out the entire stock of one of the wet-goods merchants. Wattie Day and Colonel Leavenworth reached town in time to join in the parade — married men have not the freedom of those wise enough to remain single. After the game the Class relay team, composed of Dolly Gray, chauffeur, Roy Whitney, Ham Armstrong and other longlegs, almost won the great pushmobile race for the Alumni Weekly cup. Dolly steered a masterly race, but a leaky carburetor, tire troubles, and bubbles in his think-tank prevented his winning. In the evening the Class supper was held at Elks' Hall. Fred- die Becker distinguished himself as a band leader, and Joe Spencer pinched the Class Boy's cup in a neat speech. He must have expected to get it ! Then the Class, headed by the band, marched around New Haven, cheering the Faculty members who were at home and Judge Taft, who was not. The beer wagon was lost on the way, but Bill Barber saved us from the approaching draught by finding and restoring it to us. After starting several conflagrations with fireworks and may- poling around the flagstaff, the Class carried the kegs to the Campus. A close-harmony squad was formed around them, with torches stuck in the ground for light. Late that night, what was left of the costumes was laid away, and the official part of the reunion was over. Several remained over for commencement on Wednesday, and the never-to-be- forgotten boat race on Thursday. Too much credit cannot be given the committee and its chair- man for the way in which things were carried out. The writer TRIENNIAL 5 had an even Better time than he had looked forward to, which is saying a good deal. A brief account such as this is cannot include a description of all the fun that went on among the different groups of fellows, nor does it attempt to. Such things remain in the memories of those who were present. With the same com- mittee to manage things, the Class looks forward with keen anti- cipation to its Sexennial reunion, now not so very far away.

So comes the word, and the faithful scribe sits him down to write about — whose Trien- nial? Mine, or yours? While I was at Momauguin, were you there too? Perhaps, but how do I know whether or not yours was one of the heads I saw bobbing about among that floating mass of seaweed, trash and humanity on a certain eventful Sun- day afternoon in June? Perhaps yours was one of the voices raised loud in complaint of the service in a certain place of refreshment nearby — and perhaps it wasn't. You might have been one of those kind-hearted men in that very cafe who, being thoroughly refreshed themselves, volunteered to assist the waiters and bankrupt the proprietor. How can I tell, and would I — should I, if I could? With consummate strategy, my honored classmates, you have given the task of writing this account to another, secure in the conviction that your own deeds can never see the light through the window of his pen, and oblivious to the fact that no man would put on paper the record of his own for that week of weeks, thus writing himself down an undignified two-year-old that he who runs may read. No, no; that honored boss may happen to run and read, and then, where would be those three long years spent by us in putting on the cap of dignity and trying to persuade him that it fits? You have mounted me on a winged Pegasus. His body is made of Triennial triviahties. One wing, the record of your childish follies, I cannot make move, and the other, the story of my own, I will not ; so Pegasus will not fly. But, does any man need to be reminded of what he did? Will not these few days always live for him as, perhaps, his happi- est? — the happiest, at least, until he lives them again three years from now? Some day, we must grow old, but no age can rob us of the right to come back to New Haven, adding each time [905 S. AT TRIENNIAL MARCHING ONTO YALE FIELD BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT BASEBALL GAME SOME FEATURES OF TRIENNIAL 7 one more link to the chain which holds every one of us to Yale : a chain of metal which, as it grows older, only grows the stronger ; the links of which never tarnish, but grow brighter as the years go by. For three years we had looked forward to the day when Tri- ennial would begin, and now, with a rush, it is over. What have we left? A perfect host of memories. At first it was all like a great, hazy fog, and we had to stop and think to conjure up the scenes which we knew lay behind it. Gradually we see ourselves putting on costumes — most becom- ing to some. Do you remember how well our brawny president looked in it, and how he stood, heels together, while Dolly Gray ran in and out between his giant legs? Back there, too, is the picture of Momauguin and the Rock and the roulette wheel, which made us roll on the floor and hug each other in our ecstacies over the new-found game. And, of course, the Class meeting and picture are in the fog, and the impressive figure cut by one tall and lanky High as he arrived, on time of course, driving to the scene in state and a cab. And how gloriously we sang ''The Toreador" as we marched away! We have a hazy sort of recollection of a baseball game and a long, long dance out to the field ; of a great and glorious bull which met us there, in charge of a real toreador (I know he was real, because he had a mustache), and preceded us around the field until it met a policeman and temporarily petered out; of how we yelled for Big Bill Taft, and fought for our rejuve- nated bull, routing the lion of 1902. We remember putting a doll in the pushmobile and pushing him gloriously around the diamond until victory and the cup were in sight, only to be snatched from us by Roy Whitney's (or somebody's) long legs getting mixed up with the wheels. And who doesn't remember the long march back, and who cares to count the glasses which were emptied to quench the fires burning within? Back in the fog is a Class dinner, where a Class cup for the Class Boy was fittingly presented, and most fittingly received by the happy father in a neat extemporaneous speech. Paren- thetically, I might tell, if I would, how a fair friend of Spencer's told me the next day that she knew that speech by heart and 8 REUNIONS had heard it eloquently proclaimed from the top of every chair and table in her house, but, as everyone thinks that the talk was the inspired result of natural eloquence and good spirits, I will not betray him. Some of the smokiness of that fog is caused by fireworks which we carried with that disregard for the eyes of others which only Triennial can inspire. We remember marching behind a band which was possessed of no sense of humor at all and, abso- lutely failing to see the joke when a roman candle ball landed squarely between their shoulder-blades, struck. And we lost the beer wagon, and found it again, .its stock much depleted by its faithful guardians who had been trying so long and so hard to find our noiseless, lightless, inconspicuous Class. Then came the distressed wail of the busy marts of trade and commerce abandoned by their leaders — a call which we heard and heeded, dribbling out of New Haven train by train. But every Class does these things, or something equally silly, at its Triennial, and it is only later on when two or three are gathered together around the festive board, that all the innu- merable little "do-you-remembers" take shape in the fog, and make our own so far superior to any Triennial which has ever been, or ever will be. Some of us went to New London and saw the races. I do not think I am taking too much on myself when I say here that the Class extends its hearty sympathy and appreciation for his efforts to a brave Yale man who, put in the boat to fight a great fight, and attacked by a sudden malady, still fought on until his world became black and he •fainted — revived, picked up his oar and fought again until a power greater than his own forced him to yield. Yale is proud of that sort of fight, and we are part of Yale. Nor can I close without thanking our Triennial Committee. We can have no idea of the work connected with that office, and yet, so far as I know, there was not a hitch from beginning to end. We got our costumes when we went for them, and they fitted. We marched to the ball game on time, and our seats were there for us. We had a good banquet, well-served, and ready when the committee said it would be ready. The fire- SOME FEATURES OF TRIENNIAL 9 works were there, and plenty of them, and it wasn't even the committee's fault that the band struck, or that we lost the beer wagon. Three years have come and nearly gone! When Sexennial comes, let us gather again, as strong as before, forgetting caste and clique. Forget that you were this and he was that, remem- bering only that we are all classmates and Yale men. Out of a true Yale democracy let us build for ourselves a Yale fence and gather around it with hearts still full of the love of Yale and of 1905 S. THE NEW YORK CLASS DINNERS THE FIRST DINNER Six months had scarcely elapsed after our Senior Class dinner, when someone suggested that it was time to again call the faith- ful together for a little evening. Budge Martin, having made such a success as chairman of the Class Dinner Committee, was naturally turned to for a sug- gestion. The result was that on March 24, 1906, thirty-nine good fellows sat down at the Yale Club to the first New York dinner. Of good cheer there was a plenty, and the singing! After one had been wrestling with the high cost of living for a weary six months, what a pleasure it was to be able to give vent freely to one's feelings! Waddy Day filled the toastmaster's chair and with his ready good humor, prevailed upon various of the talent present to unburden themselves. Dick Whittier and Brick Defrees among others told of our past glories and urged us to further greatness. Jack Munson offered a long-distance cup for the next dinner, nobody barred. The dinner was voted a great success and Martin and Barber were appointed a committee to arrange for a dinner in 1907. Those present were: Bailey Defrees Mixter Baldwin Frank Munson Barber Gray Olds Bates Haryey Oliver Chapin Henney Perkins Chapman Hull Roberts, ( Corbet Johnston, T. E. Ruff Corlies Jones Tillson Comer Kennedy, C. B. Vernam Cudlipp Kennedy, J. W. Wheelock Culbertson Klett Whittier Dalley Lynch Wickwire Day Martin Winthrop THE NEW YORK DINNERS II THE SECOND DINNER April 13, 1907, saw another goodly crowd of thirty-nine meet again at the festive board at the Yale Club. Unfortunately, some of the Class who had been with us the year before were forced to forego that pleasure by pressure of business and domestic duties, but the faithful were on hand, some of them after a con- siderable journey, and so the number remained the same as at the first dinner. The dinner was good, as usual, and plentifully interspersed with good harmony. After having been properly primed the company was called to order by our worthy president and toast- master, Dick Whittier. Roy Whitney, Joe Washington and Bill Barber were called upon to respond to toasts, and Jack Munson showed much ora- torical ability in a forceful appeal for class unity. Joe Washington and Mike Sears were found to be jointly entitled to the long-distance cup, both having come from Schenec- tady and being roommates there, it was finally discovered that Joe's (or was it Mike's?) bed was on the south side of their room and the cup was awarded to him. The diners then adjourned to the grill room where close harmony was indulged in until shop was closed. Those present at the second dinner were: Bailey Frank Munson Baldwin Gray Olds Barber Harvey Oliver Bates Henney Perkins Chapin Hull Roberts, G. Chapman Johnston, T. E. Roesler Corbet Jones Ruff Corlies Kennedy, C B. Tillson Comer Kennedy, J. W. Vernam Cudlipp Klett Wheelock Culbertson Lynch Whittier Dalley Martin Wickwire Day Mixter Winthrop 12 REUNIONS THE THIRD DINNER On March 28, 1908, the third annual dinner was held at the Yale Club. This year, owing, no doubt, to the fact that Triennial was coming on, the attendance fell to twenty-seven. Lowell Clucas acted as toastmaster and kept things moving. Joe Simmons, as chairman of the Triennial Committee, told of the plans which had been made for a big time and we all know how he made good. The most acute tried to worm out of Joe what the costume was to be, but the half-shells had nothing on him for closeness. T. E. Johnston was again on hand from Wilmington, Del., and, while no cup was presented, Johnny certainly deserved one for this was the third time he had made the trip to be at the annual dinner. Everyone had an opportunity to talk and sing and great plans were hatched for Triennial. " Those present were : Alsop Cudlipp McLean Baldwin Disbrow Martin Barber Gordon Palmer Bates Gray Roberts Chapman Hunt Ruff Clancey Jennings Simmons Clucas Johnston, T. E. Symes Cone Jones Thomas Corlies Lynch Whittier DINNER OMITTED IN 1909 The next year, 1909, the committee, after consulting with var- ious members of the Class, decided not to hold a dinner. This decision was reached after a canvass which showed that only a small number of the Class were available and it was thought best to wait a year and get a big gathering in 19 10. The writer personally is in favor of holding a dinner every year, and believes that it is well worth while, even though but a handful can be present. These dinners not only tend toward Class unity and good-fellowship, but annually renew our interest in, and devotion to our alma mater. THE NEW YORK DINNERS 13 THE DINNER IN 1910 On Saturday evening, February 19, 1910, the Class again gathered, twenty-five strong, and made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. Dick Whittier presided and urged upon the Class the necessity of turning out to the annual dinner. Every man promised to be present in 191 1, and to try to bring a classmate. Bill Barber reported progress on the Five-year Record of the Class, telling some of his troubles in collecting data. Roy Whitney's arrival, snow-covered, from Syracuse was a feature of the evening. Brown's trio of colored entertainers made things hum, and at closing time, Dolly Gray had not succeeded in finding "K-e- double-1-y." The evening wound up with much close harmony and every- body voted it a big time.

Allison is forest examiner in the United States Forest Service, and concerning his carter he says: "Immediately after grad- uating from Sheff I went to Milford, Pa., to join the 1907 Forest School class in their summer term work. In September, 1905, I returned to New Haven and joined the Poorest School Class of 1906 with which I graduated the following June. The only notable events between .September, 1905, and July i, 1906, were my trips to Maine to make my lumbering report, during three weeks of which I lived with a lot of dirty 'Canucks' in a northern Maine logging camp, and the spring term of the For- est School held at Waterville, N. H., in the southern part of the White Mountains. There during the latter part of April and the first week of May, we encountered much snow which left vivid remembrances because of the cold feet and cold shivers it gave me. On July 2, 1906, I entered the United States Forest Service, 20 BIOGRAPHIES and soon afterwards was ordered to Arizona. I remained there from July i6, 1906, to November 18, 1907, doing regular forest assistant work, marking and estimating timber and fussing around timber sales, leaving this so-called mountain only once, for two weeks during December, 1906, for a visit to southern California. Between December i, 1907, and April i, 1908, I was stationed in Washington, doing timber sale office work. On April I, 1908, I was ordered back to Arizona to join a cruising and mapping party to cruise the timbered area within the old Grand Canyon and San Francisco National Forests and also part of the old Black Mesa, all now included in the Coconino National Forest. The total timbered area to be covered is considerably over 1,000,000 acres. On the first of July, 1908, I took charge of the party and had under me six 'cruisers,' a cook. and a camp rustler. During the summer and fall of 1908 and a con- siderable part of 1909, I was in charge of a field party engaged in mapping and cruising the Coconino National Forest and in preparing working plans for that forest and the Tusayan National Forest which was created out of the Coconino in 1910. The Coconino working plan is soon to be published as a Forest Service bulletin. vSince then I have been engaged in general inspection work in connection with the work of the parties now cruising and mapping the national forests of Arizona, New Mexico and Arkansas."

Concerning his career since leaving Yale he says : "The most commendable act of mine was a three months' loaf after graduation. On September i8, 1905, I joined Swatz, Swenarton, Joe Washington, and Lon Knollmeyer at the General Electric Company test. Later Kasey Ogden, Mike Sears, Ed Callahan and Jack Clancey.blew in. I soaked my skin in oil, grease and carbon dust, to say nothing of limburger cheese, that mysteriously occurred in jumper pockets and other inconvenient places. It's over three years since I absorbed any of these things and they are still oozing out of my pores. We had some very delicate little jokes to beguile away our few leisure hours, such as burning oil soaked waste within a few inches of some sleeper's nose, or white-leading his shoes, or running an air hose up his pants leg and then turning on the full 150 pounds pressure. This was fine when the shop temperature was zero or lower. One of the regular stunts was thawing out our milk or coffee at midnight lunch. Among the less popular but well-patronized pastimes were hauling cables, sandpapering carbon brushes, pulling waterbox rope, etc. Such work, however, was only while we were being broken in, and it wasn't long before we eight from '05 S. had some of our juniors 'Hunyacking' for us, in fact in about a year and a half four of the number were assistant foremen. Swatz fell by the wayside to accept a better job. For various reasons Kasey, Mike and Jack Clancey left the com- pany. I believe the rest are still afflicted with its employment. I was fortunate in escaping hard work by having a job as assist- ant foreman 'hove' at me, later followed by job of 'Head of Section.' Ed Callahan came on as day foreman of the same section and we enjoyed working with each other for some time. In September, 1907, I was transferred to the power and mining engineering department, and in December, 1907, to the estimat- ing department of the New York office. In December, 1908, I was sent to the New Haven office. This was pure luck and I think I've struck a permanent berth. "Good fortune and plenty of work has been the rule. 1905 S. men of my profession were just well enough along to escape being pinched in the panic of 1907. I have always been asso- ciated with Yale and Harvard men and this has been one of OF GRADUATES 27 the most pleasant features. Two Yale men, one Cornell man, one Columbia man and one Worcester Polytechnic man are work- ing with me now. The only breaks in the routine of the work have been occasional trips to the Schenectady works of the com- pany, where Callahan of our Class still holds forth. My parti- cularly close friend at Schenectady is R. F. Emerson, '06 S., whom I've just helped to get married." Max Howell Behr Residence — 2 East Sixty-sixth Street, New York City.

Called on Ratty Rath von last year in New Orleans. Ray Havemeyer calls on New York once a year from the wilds of Colorado. He's irrigating the dry spaces with water. I have seen Joe Washington who has done 28 BIOGRAPHIES very well in his work so far. Jack Owsley, married, is the same old Jack. Its lo to i he gets what he's after.

During the summer of 1905 I had a vacation till the middle of October. At that time I went to the Commercial Electric Company, of Indianapolis, Ind., where I stayed till some time in August. I made a trip to Castleton, Vt., in an auto, leaving St. Louis about the seventeenth of August, 1906. Spent two weeks in Vermont, and returned to St. Louis, via auto. After being in St. Louis for a few weeks made another trip to Vermont. This was some time in October, 1906. When we decided to return to St. Louis it was so cold that we decided to ship the machine and return by train. "In the fall of 1906 I went to the Fort Wayne Electric Works, and entered there as a student, completing the required time. Seeing that there was not much of a future in that line I cut out and came to St. Louis, where I hoped to get a position with some electrical construction company; but as all businesses OF GRADUATES 55 were slow at that time did not get what I wanted. I obtained a position in the Ewing-Merkle Electrical Supply Company as salesman.

Mormon bishop too strenuous for me on the tithing business and Mormon girls too forward — dangerous country for a young man. Left there for the Coeur d'Alene of Idaho as mining engineer at the Senator Stewart mine. Unfortunately Wall Street got a slight hold on F. A. Heinze and the Stewart shut down. Struck out for grand old Gilpin County, Colo., and am now developing a mine here. I am getting to the top after hard, consistent and persistent effort. The reward must be commensurate."

I managed to just hold on at the salary of ten dollars per week until the first of January, 1906, 5 58 BIOGRAPHIES when I asked for a fifty per cent, raise. They offered twenty- five per cent, and I left. I was determined to try boat build- ing, which business paid my way through Yale, so went home, built an addition on my old shop and started again. I did well throughout the summer, but as things grew slow in the fall I procured a position with the O. K. Tool Holder Com- pany of Shelton, to complete their new shop and install the machinery. This work I completed about February i, 1907, and was offered a position in their shop. I accepted a position on con- struction work with the American Brass Company of Water- bury, however, staying with them about one year, during which time I put up several buildings and a variety of other work, having during that time about 175 men. Hard times then dashed all my chances to the ground, and as the company shut down all construction work I was laid off. I decided to try boating again, and went with Palmer Brothers of Cos Cob, Conn., traveling for them to California and through the Eastern states until August I, 1908, when I proceeded to build for them a new machine shop of reinforced concrete. I finished this and left the concern on January i, 1909, and went to boat building for myself at which I was doing fine until about the middle of April when fire destroyed my shop and put me out again. I returned to Palmer Brothers for the summer. On September i, 1909, the Birmingham Water Company decided to put in some improvements and I procured the position of construction engineer with them. This work was completed on January i, 19 10, and I took up contracting, putting through several con- tracts between January i and September i, 1910, on which date I accepted my present position with the Stobough Construction Company."

Concerning his life since leaving Yale he says : ''Haven't had a very exciting career since graduation. Have been pretty closely confined to the bank- ing business and like it very much. Have managed to put in an interesting two or three weeks each summer Vacating.' In the summer of 1906 I went up into the northwest corner of North Dakota, and enjoyed a taste of frontier life on the plains with some long horseback rides and walks over the prairies. ''In the summer of 1907 I had quite a novel and very interest- ing trip through the mountains of eastern Kentucky. I took a Mississippi River boat down to St. Louis as a means of getting a little absolute rest and after getting over to Louisville and south on the L. & N. to a typical old town called London, I began the more strenuous part of the trip. With a darky driver who was yawning during most of the trip except when he hap- pened to be snoring, I covered some sixty miles of the roughest road I ever saw, and by about ten o'clock the second morning, I reached a town called Hyden, the county seat of Leslie County, it is alleged, because it is the only place in the county where there is level ground enough to build a courthouse. The moun- taineers are very interesting and quite different from people in any other part of the country because they have lived by them- selves for so long. We have all heard of the mountain whites OF GRADUATES 65 and' one gets from reading that they are all of them about half civilized. That is a fallacy, for while there are many of them who live in hovels in an almost barbarous condition way up in the fastnesses of the mountains, those who live in towns, who have been out in the world, and been educated, are fully up to the par of any of us. I spent four days in Hyden, and then began to wend my way on over the mountains behind two mules in a 'jump wagon' — it's no wonder that the mountaineers indulge in a draught of 'road smoother' occasionally, or oftener. "That hundred miles and more across the Kentucky moun- tains was one of the most delightful journeys I ever made, not because of the comfort and luxury of the trip, but because of the strangeness of the customs, the glorious scenery, and the spirit of restfulness that pervades all. I went through the famous feud district but didn't get into a row, nor did I get too thirsty and find myself in the clutch of the law for 'moon- shining,' so I arrived home again none the worse for my trip, and with much food for pleasant recollections. If any strenu- ous and careworn 1905 S.'ers want a novel and restful vacation trip, let them spend it in the Kentucky mountains. "My 1908 vacation I spent back in New Haven, having the best kind of a time with Taft, 1905 S. and Yale." Stuart Clayton Hemingway Residence— 226 East Onondaga Street, Syracuse, N. Y.

I accordingly put on my old gray bonnet with the blue ribbons on it and set forth. Deciding that a knowl- edge of law would in all probability be of especial value in a city of the character of New York I entered the New York Law School, and in the course of two years had graduated from that institution. I had in the meanwhile been connected with a large office in the city thus combining theory with practice. ''New York was at first a little slow in recognizing the splendid new talent at their disposal, but in the course of a year or so became more responsive. Having received an invitation to take up the practice with my uncle. Judge William F. Henney, of Hartford, Conn., I am inclined to accept that opportunity as I believe it to be. It is probable, therefore, that after November I, 1910, I will be located in Hartford, Conn.

He writes : ^'Shortly after graduation I entered the employ of the Hartford and Springfield Railway Company, having charge of practically all of the special cars for picnics, clam- bakes, etc. This gave me an opportunity for plenty of fresh air and out-door exercise, with the incidental study of human nature. ''During the summer of 1906 I had similar work with the street railway company, but on Sundays and holidays I acted as special agent and dispatcher at the end of their new line at Rockville, Conn. In 1907 I took a step higher, and had full supervision of the amusement park, looking out for the interests of the public as well as of the company. 'Tn September, 1905, together with R. L. Waite and E. E. Lindeman, I entered the Johns Hopkins Medical School at Balti- more, rooming with Waite. Instead of entering the Yale Grad- uate School in September, 1906, as I had at first planned, I returned to Johns Hopkins for my second year in the Medical School. When the exams for the year were over I took a vaca- tion with trips to Washington, Jamestown, Coney Island and New Haven. "Having secured a good training in all of the medical sciences I entered the Yale Graduate School September, 1907, to take up analytical and research work as a training for work in clinical chemistry. I received the degree of doctor of philosophy in June, 1909, and served for one year as instructor before I was appointed to my present position." OF GRADUATES 69 Grover Cooper Hubbell Residence — 1804 Ingersoll Street, Des Moines, Iowa. Business address — Equitable Building, Des Moines, Iowa. Born February 3, 1883, at Des Moines, Iowa, the son of Frederick Marion Hubbell, born at White Hills, Conn., in the insurance, real estate, and railroad business at Des Moines, and of Frances Elizabeth (Cooper) Hubbell, who was born near Toledo, Ohio. He has one brother, Fred- erick Cooper Hubbell. He prepared at the Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, N. J., and entered Sheff in September, 1905, where he took the Civil Engineering Course, and was a member of Chi Phi. He was married on September 27, 1905, at Des Moines, Iowa, to Miss Anna Ramsey Godfrey of that city. They have two daughters : Frances Cooper Hubbell, born October 18, 1906, and Helen Virginia Hubbell, born February 12, 1908, both at Des Moines. Hubbell is in the real estate business with his father. He is a member of the Episcopal Church, and belongs to the A. A. Scottish Rite Masons, Golf and Country clubs, Hyperion Club, Des Moines Club, Grant Club, Commercial Club, and the Iowa Yale Club. Concerning* his life since graduation he says : "After graduation, having fitted myself for a civil engineer, I imme- diately put my knowledge gained by three years' 'hard work,' into practical use by going into the sand business. It certainly requires a 'civil engineer' to keep at the sand business. The scheme was to pump sand out of the Racoon River, load it on cars and sell the same to the unsuspecting public. After three months erecting a plant I withdrew my superintendency long enough to be married and take a wedding trip of six weeks through the Canadian mountains. When I returned affairs at the plant were at a standstill — we hadn't pumped a grain. But I wasn't discouraged. By using a sharp pencil I figured that after the plant was remodeled it would be possible to make a little 'easy money.' While my spirits were soaring over this delightful prospect, a smooth, well-dressed individual approached me with some 'blue sky' to sell, which he called stock in a cor- poration to manufacture carbureters and radiators. Blue sky always looked good to me so I invested — not only money (much against my father's advice) but also time and some of my ami- 70 BIOGRAPHIES able disposition — all of which went under a cloud never to come out ag-ain. By spring the sand plant was ready for operation just in time for high water to wash out a few hundred feet of my track and grade, so it wasn't until July, just a year after the plant was started, that it really was in shape to run. In October, 1906, a little girl was born to us. I think she was the first child in our Class. After managing- the sand business for two years I employed a man to assume the duties of manager. Since then I have been associated with my father in real estate and have recently been promoted to the exalted rank of office boy, with hopes for something better."

Y. Not a very important place on the map, but proved quite important to me, as it was there I met Mr. Martin, president of the Tea Tray Company. After playing golf with Mr. Martin and having many pleasant times together he asked me what I was going to do in the business line. I told him that I was uncertain and in the course of the conversation he asked me to look him up after I returned from OF GRADUATES 7^ a western trip I was going- on through the month of September. After my trip through the Great Lakes, Yellowstone Park, •Portland, Ore., where I visited the fair, Seattle, Puget Sound, Victoria and Vancouver, I returned home via the Canadian Pacific Railroad, stopping off at Glacier, Lake Louise and Banff. Then I came directly home, and started in the first of October, 1905, to find a position. I called to see my friend Mr. Martin, but he was away. Thinking I had not better wait for him to return I started in with the American Locomotive Com- pany in New York and in the meantime heard from Mr. Martin, and accepted his oft'er to take a position with the Tea Tray Com- pany in the purchasing department. I have been with the Tea Tray Company now five years, and working good and hard. In April, 1908, I was ill with malaria and had to give up business for six months, going to Virginia Hot Springs for the month of May, and Kennebunkport, Me., in June. The rest of the summer I spent at Lake Placid, N. Y., having a fine time. I went to the Maine woods for the month of September, returning to work October i.

"Golf is my fad at present and though rather new at the game I find it a bully source of exercise and recreation ancl expect some day to knock the 'pill' clean out of sight, say 563^ yards. Refused this year to enter the amateur golf cham- pionship match at Garden City so as to give Behr a chance to meet Travers. (P. S.

I worked one day, as the next (election) day was a holiday. Perhaps that was an omen of a good many vacations ; anyway I have had them. In Septem- ber, 1906, I resigned my position, and the vacation I then got lasted until the following December, when I entered the real estate business in the upper part of New York City. I was to receive a certain interest in the profits, but as none materialized up to July I, 1907, I took another vacation. This one was more like those of college days and lasted until October, 1907, when I secured a very pleasant position with a suburban real estate firm. My duties were to travel through the country finding farms or meadows which could be bought for a little money, fixed up into lots and sold for a good profit. I found these lands but my firm did not like the money market panic which came on then, and therefore I had another vacation. I had secured some business experience, and, tiring of vacations, I secured in March, 1908, my present position in the bond house of White, W^eld & Co., where there are a number of graduates of other colleges, all congenial fellows. "Meantime all my vacations enabled me to see the big football games in New Haven, some of the baseball games, a boat race or two, and best of all to attend the Triennial reunion of 1905 S. On January 4, 1910, I joined the 7th Regiment, N. G. N. Y., in which I arh enlisted for five years." Frederic Warren Kay Residence — 5430 Forbes Street, Pittsburg, Pa.

Concerning his recent Hfe Keating says: ''Directly after graduation I entered the employ of the Westinghouse Machine Company at East Pittsburg, living in Wilkinsburg with Harry Abbe and Sam Mills of our Class. After spending a year there with no especial incident other than hard work, was sent to Montreal, Canada, on about four hours' notice. Packed a grip with a summer suit and enough paraphernalia for the ten-day OF GRADUATES 77 trip that I anticipated and stayed five months into the coldest winter experienced in that locaHty for over thirty years. How- ever, after I became accHmated, had a very pleasant time, as with skating", toboganning" and snowshoeing it is an ideal place to spend the winter. From there my travels led me through a good part of Canada, as far west as Winnipeg, where I was some- what disappointed in not meeting the polar bears running, about the streets, I then returned to the States, for the other tempera- ture extreme, going to North Carolina, Eventually got back to the Smoky City, changing from construction work to the engin- eering department, and have been settled there for over a year and would be mighty glad to meet any of the boys that find their way to this part of the country."

He is a member of the Episcopal Church and the Masonic Blue Lodge, and says concerning his life since graduation : "To comply with the request for a full and connected description of my life since leaving Yale involves little effort on my part since no eloquence is required, however earnestly I might seek an opportunity for employing such. In fact I do not need a superlative unless it be to describe the even- ness of my life. Our committee deplores modesty. The truth, for which I have great respect, forces me to be modest. After leaving college I headed for Superior, Wis., where I worked as civil engineer for a few months until an opportunity presented OF GRADUATES 79 itself to go 'cruising' in the woods of northern Minnesota. After experiencing various hardships incident to cedar windfalls, starvation rations and fruitless searches for quarter posts that never were, I went to work in a planing mill at Cloquet, Minn., where the lumber is dressed for the market. Here I handled a great deal of the 'rough green' (but precious little of the long green) and wondered if there were really as many hours in the days I spent at old Yale. I was then engaged in work in con- nection with the sales department of the Northern Lumber Com- pany. This position I left in October, 1909, to take up my present occupation." James Perin Kineon Address — Hempstead, L. I.

Kineon is superintendent of the New York & Long Island Traction Company and of the Long Island Electric Railway Company, and is a member of the Episcopal Church. Concern- ing his recent life he says: "After graduation I decided to go farther west than Ohio to gather up some of the filthy lucre which I understood was there. Held a position of meter tester with the General Electric Company for six months, and not see- ing anything which looked good to me there, I came East. Started with the Long Island Railroad, in electrical department, where I remained one year and then obtained my present position. , "The most striking experience which I have had was my initiation into single track operation. About ten days after my 8o BIOGRAPHIES location in Hempstead, a friend (who was manager of a rail- road in the West) came to see me and I decided to show him over the road. We went through the different substations and were on our way towards Brooklyn, running special to a second section, when suddenly a car appeared around a curve on same track but operating in the opposite direction. The motorman appeared to be paralyzed with fright and made no attempt to stop his car so I rushed to vestibule to assist him, but just as I reached the former, the two cars came together with an awful crash. After pushing the wreckage off my body and withdraw- ing my head from a door which my cranium had punctured, I assisted the passengers from the other car and then lifted my motorman out of wreck. Poor fellow had both legs cut off below knees and died shortly afterwards. My friend for whom all this celebration took place was not to be found high or low, but had disappeared. About two weeks later I received a letter from him stating that he believed he preferred Western opera- tion to our methods here."

Kinney is sales manager for the Garford Motor Truck Com- pany of Cleveland, Ohio. Concerning his life since leaving col- OF GRADUATES 8i lege he writes : "When I graduated in June, 1905, my parents, to 'complete my education,' took me for an automobile trip through Europe. Since I took a Select Course at Sheff my father thought the trip would answer the purpose of a post-graduate course. Having taken also a special course in athletics, and in order to fit me to meet all the hardships in after Hfe (bachelor dinners, marriage, pushing trucks about, etc.), he gave me the care of the White steamer in which we traveled. Well, I don't know exactly whether the trip 'completed my education' or not, but I do know that I increased my vocabulary (both in French and English) to a great degree, thanks to the lack of steam lubricat- ing oil in France, four blow-outs and seven punctures in one day, a broken crank shaft, and a few other such trivial things. I also believe that I got hardened enough to withstand the knocks of future hfe. '^Upon returning to the States in the fall (without an accent) I coached the Indians, and in January, 1906, went into garage work and the manufacturing of autos at Huntington, Long Island. In the fall of 1907, when the panic struck Wall Street, we closed up. After a little coaching in the fall and then a trip to the South in January, 1908, I sailed for Porto Rico, where I worked on a plantation for a year. This seemed to improve my poor health greatly. "I then returned to the States, and after picking up a wife in Texas, started in the selling end of the automobile business in Cleveland, my former home. First, in February, 1909, I joined the Buick Company and got a glimpse of the car business, and then in July shifted to the Studebaker Company. In February, 1910, I was offered the position of sales manager of this territory for the Garford Truck, which I accepted. I have been at it ever since and expect to continue until my fortune is made." Frank Walter Klett Residence — 341 East 2d South Street, Salt Lake City, Ut^ah.

He writes: 'The 27th of July, 1905, marked the beginning of my professional career when I boarded the car at my home in Albany for the General Electric Company in Schenectady. For four long and weary months — until December 3 — I made bad designs for alternating current machinery in the General Electric drafting room. All this time my one desire and hope was to join my classmates in the 'Test' (testing department). At last my prayers were answered and I struggled through a winter of zero weather — working at night — doing my best to make the public think that the machinery which passed through my hands came up to requirements. "That was pretty bad, but it was child's play compared to test- ing steam turbines, which fairly enveloped one in red-hot steam, when the thermometer stood at 93 degrees. This was the work 'cut out' for the summer of 1906. When I had become quite parboiled I left Schenectady for the New York Edison Company. On the twentieth of November the engineer of power of that company took me under his wing. By this time I was getting into the work I liked best — commercial engineering. After spend- ing over a year dodging across crowded, noisy streets and diving down into crowded, noisy subways I accepted a position with an electrical contracting firm in quiet old Albany on December 9, 1907. Here I remained until March i, 1908, when I took my present position with the Albany Municipal Gas Company. "Having postponed two important events in my career, marri- age and travel, this portion of my autobiography is rather bereft lOO BIOGRAPHIES of spicy news. At the end of the next five years I hope to tell you of these things." Herbert Vincent Olds Business address — R. F. D., Bloomfield, Conn. Permanent address — 252 Laurel Street, Hartford, Conn.

Landing in Seattle in the fall of 1906 I got a job with a very fine firm, Merrill & Ring Lumber Co. I went to the woods and worked on the cruising crew. Having spent some months learn- ing how to estimate timber, I was transferred to a logging camp where I* stayed until the fall of 1908, when plans were made to go into logging business by forming a logging company with George H. Snowdon, '05 S. These plans' were given up. Since that time I have been in the logging business and have been buy- ing and selling timber- for Eastern people. I have been living in the West with occasional short trips East." Corydon Palmer Address — ^48 West Fiftieth Street, New York City. Born January 2, 1884, at New York City, the son of Delos Palmer, a graduate of the Baltimore College of Dentistry and dentist of New York City, who was born at Warren, Ohio, and Emma Jane (Banta) Palmer, born at New York City.

He writes: "From July i to September i, 1905, went through the West with Darrah Corbet, including a hundred-mile tramp through the Yosemite National Park. Dr. Bradley of Yale conducted the trip through the park, acting as guide, cook, etc. On October i, entered the College of Dental and Oral Surgery of New York (West42d Street) for my first term of eight months. My work in biology at Yale helped me greatly, and much of the time I was free to do as I liked. To fill in I took to fussing, going to dances, receptions, etc., OF GRADUATES 103 thinking I was having a good time. College closed June i, 1906, and I put in the time between then and October i on the south shore of Long Island, chiefly at Westhampton. "The college course of 1906-07 also was easy aside from the operative work. This year in my spare time I was of some assist- ance to my father and also put in considerable time on the con- struction of a violin — truely a very absorbing hobby. With the exception of a few close friends I mingled but little with the outer world and spent a much more satisfactory year than the one before. The summer of 1907 I spent at East Quogue, Long Island. The course during the college year of 1907-08 required all my attention both in the theory and practice. "In January, 1906, I joined the Seventh Regiment, N. G. N. Y., and have never regretted doing so; I will have completed five years of service on January i, 191 1. On May 25, 1908, I took my degree in dentistry. My state examination conflicted with the Triennial dates so that Sunday and Monday were all that I had in New Haven. "Since my graduation I have been practicing dentistry and am not only satisfied with my choice of a profession but feel sure that I chose one to which I was particularly adapted. So far I have escaped the sting of the 'Love Bug.' " Charles Clarke Perkins Residence — 76 Manhattan Avenue, New York City.

Concerning his career since leaving Yale he says : ''After college closed in June, 1905, there was a busy summer for me working on the farm which my father then owned near Cornwall-on-Hudson, N. Y. But in September times changed. We moyed to New York City and it was then that Cy suddenly realized that a job was a very necessary article. Nothing looked good enough at first but finally the Otis Elevator Company offered a trial as an appren- tice in the Yonkers factory with the stupendous salary of nineteen and one-half cents per hour. My breath came fast wondering what could be done with all that money, but finally decided to take a chance and all that was coming my way. That first year was a dream as I was usually half asleep owing to arising at five-thirty a. m. 'to punch the clock' at seven a. m. Of course some fellows would have made up the sleep at the beginning of the night, but how to live in New York and go to bed early is a problem I was never able to solve. "Well, finally in November, 1906, the chance came to go to the branch office in Washington. How I did hate to leave New York ! Thought it was the only place on earth, but found that living in the shadow of the Capitol was not half bad. For both business and social purposes Washington is there every minute. I can only say that the two years there were among the best ever." Ernest Cephas Piatt Business address— Kansas City Terminal Railroad Company, Twenty-third and Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Permanent address— 3525 Harrison Boulevard, Kansas City, Mo. Born October 27, 1884, at Kansas City, Mo., the son of Mortimer R. Piatt of Kansas City, born in Otsego County, N.

He writes : "When I finally got home after Commencement 1 started looking for a job, but rather hoping I wouldn't find one too soon, as another fellow and I had a camping trip all framed up. I got a place as rodman on a surveying party on the Kansas City South- ern Railroad, and started south. It certainly was hot. I used to dream about Hugh Reynolds' back room. I stayed with the Kansas City Southern Railroad until the following spring, and then quit and was going to work for another road in Louisiana but came home for a few days and was taken sick with typhoid fever. I got a place in the summer of 1906 with the Kansas City Terminal Railway and have been there ever since, long enough to be one of the oldest heads on the job. This is a com- pany owned by twelve of the railroads entering Kansas City, and is to build a new passenger station and have a belt line around town and freight terminals. (Don't forget to mention we are going to have the finest station in the world.) I was out West last summer and looked up a couple of my roommates but they were up in the mountains and I missed them. As I was coming home I met Klett in Salt Lake City. Sleep Thomas has been in town since last fall working for the government engineers and he and I have a Class reunion all by ourselves now and then. Ever since our Triennial I have been looking forward to the Sexennial and hope we will all be there." Samuel James Plimpton Residence — 120 York Street, New Haven, Conn. .

He is unmarried. Concerning his recent life Plimpton writes : "After graduat- ing- from Sheff I remained one year with the University as Loomis Fellow. In September, 1909, I joined the students' course at the Stanley Electric Works, in Pittsfield, builders of nearly every kind of electrical machinery. Before the summer follow- ing, the Stanley company was absorbed by the General Electric Company and compelled to specialize in transformer work. This called for the new testing equipment now completed and the largest in existence. I acted as assistant to the designer of this plant. In making the changes, owing to the complexity of wir- ing, great danger to employees was unavoidable, and I was fre- quently given responsibility where many lives were involved. Partly because of this perhaps, but mainly because of irregular hours night and day I became temporarily incapacitated for work. After a few months on leave of absence, I went on the road as salesman of insulating materials. My territory included Con- necticut which permitted me to visit Yale frequently, and here I again contracted the 'research fever.' Always kindly disposed toward one so afflicted, our Professor Bumstead, now director of Sloane Laboratory, offered me an assistantship which I have held since September, 1909. I am studying for a doctor's degree in physics." Henry Magraw Rathvon Home address — 1442 Humboldt Street, Denver, Colo. Business address — Boulder, Colo.

Our interests are real estate, timber lands and cotton and rice plantations, located in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. ''For the past year I have spent most of my time on our planta- tions in North Louisiana where I installed a large pumping plant and built a canal system for irrigation purposes, the results of To8 BIOGRAPHIES which were very successful ; I shall extend my canal system in 191 1 so as to irrigate a much larger acreage area. ''While I consider New Orleans my home, I spend the greater part of the autumn and spring on our plantations, and I have a country home on my Epps estate, near Delhi, La., where we have about 11,000 acres of land. The hunting in this section is con- sidered by many the finest in the South; in fact ex-president Roosevelt shot his bear only two miles from our eastern bound- ary. I give most of my spare time, however, to motoring and polo. I have managed to get East for a month each year, and am planning to take my vacation next June so that I can thor- oughly enjoy my Sexennial reunion." In a previous letter Richardson gave this interesting descrip- tion of his Southern metropolis: "One of the most pleasant events since I left college was when it was my privilege to enter- tain the Yale Glee Club in my own home, during their brief stay, Christmas of 1907. "New Orleans is the gateway of the South and Middle West and, with the exception of New York, the largest port in the United States. Last fall I was a delegate to the 'Lakes to the Gulf, Deep Waterways' convention in Memphis, and I believe with the completion of the Panama Canal and with the improve- ment planned for the Mississippi and its tributaries in this con- vention, that New Orleans will yet rival New York as a port. New Orleans then will be the gateway of Western South America. A hearty welcome awaits any of my classmates who should chance to look me up in the Southern metropolis."

Born October 18, 1884, at New Britain, Conn., the son of Wolfgang Schaeffer, born July 17, 1856, at Sulzbach, Bavaria, Germany, a machinist and tool maker connected with the Waterbury Clock Company, and of Pauline (Wieland) Schaeffer, born in 1844, at Laufen a Neckar, Wiirtem- berg, Germany, died in 1888, a resident of Stuttgart, Wiirtemburg, before her marriage. A step-mother, Errima (Breuninger) Schaeffer, was born at Horkheim a Neckar, Wiirtemberg, Germany, on October 12. 1856. A "4 BIOGRAPHIES brother, Hugo J. M. Schaeffer, was born January 31, 1887, at Seymour, Conn. He prepared at the Seymour High School, and took the Mechanical Engineering Course in Sheff, where he received honorable mention in German in Freshman year. He is unmarried. Schaeffer is assistant foreman in the engineering and press departments of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry & Machine Co., and concerning his recent life he writes : "After scouring around for a job (with $3,000 a year in mind) I landed at the Water- bury Farrel Foundry & Machine Co., where I started in the machine shop at fourteen cents per hour. After working here faithfully one and one-half years, I was made assistant foreman of the department which has about one hundred men. Here I stayed until I had been in the machine shop four years. Although I had a fairly good position the work seemed monotonous and so I took a month's rest after which Mr. Candee, '96 S., the chief draftsman of the press department, asked me to go in with him which I did. I started in again from the bottom in the drawing department and after fourteen months' work became his assist- ant. It looks now after five years' wait as though I might be in line for my $3,000 dream. Our manager, treasurer and secretary are also Yale men. Some of the fellows have been tell- ing me I'm not natural for marrying the concern rather than a nice rich young lady. My folks removed to this city from Seymour, Conn., in 1907. We are all well located here and happy. '*In 1908 I began teaching drawing in the evening High School and this has since become additional winter occupation. Beyond this my chief recreation is playing the old fiddle. I am president of the Amphion Musical Club, and manager and director of Nosahogan Orchestra which is connected with the Odd Fellows lodge here. In this I am very much interested as I have become largely acquainted with business men and a good sociable lot of fellows. Our lodge could do justice to a university club, since there are a great number of .university men in it, Yale predom- inating. I'm about to be taken into another fraternal organiza- tion, the name of which I'm not at liberty to state as yet. Most OF GRADUATES ii5 men become a member of same eventually if their showing is O. K. Oliver Hooker, '06 S., we sent off on a honeymoon a short time ago and with Billy Secor, '06 S., whose kidneys wouldn't let him graduate with us, and Farmer Gordon, '05 S. and Zene Candee, '96 S,, we had quite a jolly retinue of Yale men around the shop. These are practically the only men I get in touch with more than once a year around here. 'Has anybody here seen Sanford.' If they have I'd like to know where he is. We were supposed to keep up correspondence after graduation and he did write the first letter but that was all I could pull out of him. In my opinion I think '05 S. Class should make the annual Class supper a real attractive very informal reunion. '05 S. should be a society in itself, a dependable aid to old Yale and an incentive to all grads as a standard to pattern after. Unfortunately I've not been financially equipped to take in many things pertaining to Yale up to now, but will endeavor to do my part in the future. By making our Class suppers an affair which will be looked for yearly we can get the fellow who has lived in obscurity and see what ails our classmates. 'Here's to good old Yale !'

Spencer is a member of the Baptist Church, Clinton, and of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. He writes : "The five and a half years since graduation have dealt not unkindly with me and brought me back through various vicissi- tudes to the old City of Elms. Soon after graduation I embarked on the demonstration car 'Columbia' of the American Palace Car Company, exhibiting a new system of disposing of sleeping car ^^^ BIOGRAPHIES berths in the daytime, and covered a great deal of ground, liter- ally at least, during the first few months of my graduate 'career.' In this way most of the largest cities in the eastern and middle western section of the United States and Canada were visited under very agreeable conditions, and many representatives of railroads interviewed with some success. The late fall of 1905 found m.e in Toronto, Canada, Avhich at that time was a center of excitement and speculation, over the rich silver deposits recently discovered in Cobalt, Ontario. Becoming interested in these peculiar cobalt-silver deposits which often yielded small fortunes in a few months, and the meteoric rise of their stocks, I became connected with the Unlisted Securities, Ltd., of Toronto, handling Cobalt stocks, and eventually was made president of the company. During a trip to Cobalt in the spring of 1906 I became financially interested in a 'prospect' of promise, and a company was formed to develop the property which fortunately proved to be a 'mine,' and by December things were looking so well that we were able to dispose of it advantageously to an Eastern syndicate. The following spring my other interests were dis- posed of and the following summer found us in little old New England for a vacation and a good time. The next year and three-quarters were spent quietly in Clinton, Conn. The arrival of the Class Boy put an end to idle drifting, and new responsibilities impelled the unreluctant daddie to hit the 'Unblazed Trail.' Through the good offices of the Yale Club Committee on Business Information I became acquainted with the Kolynos Company of New Haven, several of whose officers and shareholders are graduates of Yale. Kolynos is a dentifrice and mouth antiseptic, whose antiseptic value was first made known through experiments in the Sheff Laboratory by Prof. Leo F. Rettger. It looked so good to me that I 'signed on' at once, and began to get acquainted with the *'bottom round' of the business. The past year and a half have been ones of rapid advancement for Kolynos, in which I tagged placidly along until the 'bottom round' has happily become a useful reminiscence. I still hold the Class record for minimum avoirdupois, no other contestant (?) in the Class, apparently, having been able to train down to my weight. Undoubtedly the Boy is my best contribu- OF GRADUATES 127 tion to the Class laurels.

Stone is with the Central Building Company of Worcester, and is a member of the Unitarian Church. He writes : "Imme- 128 BIOGRAPHIES diately after graduation, I left for Harrisburg, Pa., to go to work for J. N. Bastress & Co., engineers and contractors. The pay was slight and the hours were long, but I was in the business, 1 wanted building construction, and I soon learned to call a column, a 'col-yum,' and cornice, 'cornish,' and that ordinarily they don't stand bricks on their ends when they lay them in a wall. I fell in with two other 'civils' of the Class of 1905, one from Delaware State College and the other from the University of Pennsylvania. We formed a trio that cheerfully borrowed each other's clothes and money (when we had any), and did up as much of the town as we were allowed. One day Fritzi Shea of the glorious Class of '05 S., wandered into town, and we formed a 'Big Four' that lasted nearly a year. In the last part of May, I was given a vacation, and when I got home, the attractions proved too much for me, so I resigned my job and struck in with a Worcester firm of contractors, the J. W. Bishop Company, on the first of June, 1906, putting in the foundations for a big mill in Woonsocket, R. I. But they let me stay there only two months and then shifted me to Fair Haven, N. J., which, although it was quite a distance from Worcester was near enough to New York to allow me to spend a goodly number of Saturday nights in the big village. This job was a long one of thirteen months and it was very interesting carving up the Jersey land- scape to make a big country estate. But when it was done, in September, 1907, I was shifted to Clinton, Mass., where we put up a big mill for the Bigelow Carpet Company, working there till the last of April, 1908. My firm was shy of work then and I was turned adrift, but I was able to get into the wire rope department of the W'right Wire Company in Palmer, where I had charge of the testing room and later for a short while their Boston warehouse. The last of July, 1908, I got a position with the Central Building Company of Worcester. 'Tn February, 1909, I was promoted from outside construction (on the Sessions House in Bristol, Conn.) to the home office in the estimating department, where I still am, holding down the position of assistant to the chief estimator. "I should be glad to greet any classmates who come to Wor- cester in their travels, and I can assure them of a hearty welcome.

In October, 1905, I entered upon a four year course in medicine at Johns Hopkins Medical School. From the day our Class entered we were impressed by the fact that we were in a graduate school. The methods of instruction differ in many ways from those at Yale and 'college life' and 'class spirit,' though present, are less prominent features. Our first two years were devoted to purely scientific subjects. Our practical work began with the third year, and we then had a chance to put into practice what OF GRADUATES i33 facts we had absorbed since the beginning of our first year in college.

''My first assignment was to the Shoshone Forest with head- quarters at Cody, Wyo. This covered the period from July 12, 1907, to October i, 1908. I found the experience on the Sho- 10 138 BIOGRAPHIES shone valuable in that it afforded a good opportunity to get broken into Western ways. Most of the work given me there differed but little from that of the rangers and by living and working with them I gradually discarded some 'tenderfoot' ideas, learned something of the Western code, and how to get along comfortably in the mountains. On October i, 1908, I was trans- ferred from Cody, Wyo., to Kalispell, Mont., to take up timber sale work on the Blackfoot National Forest. The first six months on the Blackfoot was spent in the woods, at a logging camp of the Eureka Lumber Company, which had purchased twenty-seven million feet, B. M., of timber from the Government. At the end of this time I was called away from the sale, and for the next three months was engaged principally in surveying and reporting claims applied for under the Forest Homestead Act of June 11, 1906. On July i, 1909, I was given my third transfer, this being from Kalispell to Thompson Falls, Mont., where I was assigned to boundary work on the Cabinet Forest. I put in three months on the Cabinet, examining 160 miles of boundary along the Thompson River Valley during that time. I was then ordered to return to Kalispell.

I was promoted to superintendent sometime in March, 1906, but the treasure still secluded itself.

G. course, so I stayed through 1906 at New Haven, and the following year took a position with the Southern Power Company in Charlotte, N. C. This company is doing quite a large amount of work developing hydro-electric plants in North and South Carolina. After working with them through 1907, I returned to New .Haven and received my C.E. degree. For a thesis I wrote a paper on 'The Design of Masonry Dams.' Since then I have remained continuously with the Southern Power Company, excepting the time during the late panic when with most of the other forces I was laid off for a while. Since August, 1909, I have been stationed near Blacksburg, S. C, where the Southern Power Company has just completed a thirty thou- sand H. P. development. On this job I was first assistant. At various times (dates not remembered) I have been on river sur- veys with reference to water power development and sites for dams. I have located pole and tower transmission lines in many parts of North and South Carolina. In short I have done engi- neering from laying sewer pipes to rigging gin poles. Enough for the work line. "As to my travels I have not been around much. From New Haven to Florida has been my line whenever I traveled, and I know this country pretty well. There is a lot of country I hope yet to visit." OF GRADUATES MS George Yavroumis Business address — Brewerton, N. Y. Permanent address — State Engineer's Office, Syracuse, N. Y.

He is unmarried. Yavroumis is a civil engineer for the state of New York. In 1908 he gave the following comprehensive account of himself : "As I look back on the first few weeks after leaving Yale, I thank my stars that they are over, and hope never again to see four such weeks. It was a sad fact that the 'fullness' of my head could not take my mind of¥ the emptiness of my purse. And the worst of all was that, although I realized that some- how there must be a way for helping the emptiness of my purse by the 'fullness' of my head, still I did not know how to go about it. "It was the fourth of August, 1905, that I started checking in a ninth story room on Fifth Avenue, New York City. Being a novice, the strain of constant computing wrought such an effect that I got out of it as quick as I could. "The fourteenth of September, 1905, I saw the sun rise on the mountains surrounding Lake Placid, New York, and what a change from a close room in a big city to the open air and scenery in the heart of the Adirondacks ! There I spent the next three months surveying for a sewer line through the woods to a hotel. Cold weather necessitating 'closing shop,' January 8, 1906, found me among the marshes of Cape May, working for a real estate company. Those who have had 'fishermen's luck' can appreciate how pleasant was the work of setting grade stakes where hydraulic dredges had been pumping the day before ! The early spring brought me a desirable change. On March 25 I 146 BIOGRAPHIES left. the real estate company to take charge of sewer work as assistant City Engineer of the city of Cape May, a position that I held until September 13, 1906, when I resigned to enter the service of the state of New York as 'leveler/ and I am in the same service still. "For eight months I was in the division of highways — since then on the canals. Next summer [1909] I shall try to again get on the highways department, as the work is pleasanter and more adapted to develop a man's self-confidence. By that time I am anticipating my appointment as 'assistant engineer,' a position for which I have passed the civil service examinations since last June. "For the benefit of other engineers desirous of entering the state service, I may say it is not hard, and open to all citizens of the United States. The salary is high, measured by the work a man does, and low, considering the work that he is supposed to be able to do. True, there are disadvantages : one does not know whether the next morning's mail will not bring an order for him to report to another city or village — but there are advan- tages: an assurance of easy work and steady employment. Although having been two years in the state service, I have never yet met a civil service Yale man in the employ of the state of New York."

But after three months, not having become a millionaire, I went with the American Smelting & Refining Co., at their El Paso, Tex., smelting works as learner. My first work was running lines with the draftsman for a new Mexican settlement of adobe houses near the works. I put in about a month between the drawing room and outside work, and then spent three months in the sampling works, where I got my first experience in handling ore and sampling methods. In March I transferred to the assay office and laboratory, and was made assistant assayer in August. In January, 1907, I went with the Sihuijacon Mining Company, Ocampo, Chihuahua, Mexico, as chemist and assayer. Ocampo is in the southwestern part of the state of Chihuahua, about one hundred and fifty miles north of Botopilas and one hundred and thirty miles from Minaca, the nearest station on the Chihuahua & Pacific Railroad. I found five other lone Americans and some three hundred Mexi- AFFILIATED MEMBERS i59 cans in our settlement. In January, 1908, the hard times struck our place and I decided to come out by mule instead of part mule and part stage. I started with two mozos, two pack mules and a saddle animal with a week's supply of camp goods. The first day out we struck blinding snow at an altitude of 8,000 feet and it was very cold. We camped out two nights, riding all day over the range in snow, on the second day reaching 9,200 feet and on the third day out dropping into warm country again, after which we had three days of hot, dusty riding over narrow trails. Finally on the morning of the seventh day we reached Minaca. I went into Chihuahua and south to Torreon, Coahuila, stopping at several mining camps along the way; then carne north to Denver, Colo., went up to Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek and Boulder, stopping at Pueblo on my way to Denver, and then came East. ''In June, 1908, I took to mining again, going to Hastings County, Ontario, Canada, in charge of some small iron mines.

Soon after our arrival we had a third companion, namely. Discouragement, from whom we were only saved by a full sense of humor kicked to life at all hours by watching each other in such wild acts as attempts to piece up ends on a spinning frame while being shown the correct method to approach the thing by a small girl we were surprised to find had even learned to talk. After this the point seemed to be to try us with extremes of temperature, for after all of the Southern mills we found ourselves in the coldest of January in Manchester, N. H. We were then sent to a series of places until learning or disgust bore too heavily on us and Spencer Turner surrendered to the call of New York — a small town I have heard him speak of, which he always regretted exceedingly he could not take along with him.

MISCELLANY THE OLD PROSPECT STREET ROW OF LA150RAT0R1ES SHEFFIELD-VANDERBILT I, SHOWING THE NEW CAMPUS FENCE OLD AND NEW IN SHEFF BUILDINGS MISCELLANY THE HISTORY OF SHEFF SINCE 1905 By Clifford W. Bates (With a statement of undergraduate changes added by the Chairman of the Sheff Student Council of this year.) The most notable changes in Sheff since 1905 are those in appearance, and these shall be considered first. There has been one large addition in the way of dormitories; another Sheff- Vanderbilt — The Vanderbilt-Scientific II, as it is officially called — has been built between Byers Hall and St. Anthony's Hall. It is a building of the same general appearance as the first, but is only about half as large. Architecturally it is said to be the most beautiful of the Yale buildings. The dormitory facilities have also been increased by the purchase of several houses on Grove Street. Nearly the whole block bounded by College, Grove, Temple and Wall streets is now owned by the Scientific School. Hammond Mining Laboratory, which was started before we were graduated, has, of course, been finished, and has been used for several years. The congestion of recitations in North Shef- field Hall has been very much relieved by the erection of Leet Oliver Memorial Hall, which was given by Mrs. James B. Oliver of Pittsburg, in memory of her son who was killed in an auto- mobile accident while an undergraduate. It was given to be used for the Select Course subjects (in which course Oliver was .studying) and the languages. It is located on Hillhouse Avenue between the Biological Laboratory and the railroad cut. Two new buildings to be used by Sheff are being erected: Sloane Physics Laboratory and Mason Mechanical Engineering Laboratory. The Mason Laboratory is being built between St. Mary's Church and the railroad cut, fronting on Hillhouse Avenue and running through to Temple Street. About a quar- ter of a million dollars was given for the building, equipment ipo MISCELLANY and endowment of the building by Messrs. George G. Mason and William S. Mason of the Class of 1888 S. The departments of Physics in Sheff and in the College and the Graduate School will use jointly one large laboratory for advanced physics, the Sloane Physics Laboratory, that is being built in Pierson-Sage Square (the Hillhouse estate), the price of the land having been given the University last winter by Mrs. Russell Sage. This property comprises nearly the whole of the tract of land bounded by Whitney Avenue, Sachem, Prospect and Edwards streets. The laboratory is being erected about half way between Sachem Street and Edwards Street and on the side toward Prospect Street. There are also plans for the erection of a University Laboratory of Zoology on the Pierson-Sage Square. ADDITIONS TO THE t"ACULTY Important changes in the Faculty have been rather few. Pro- fessor C. B. Richards left two years ago and was succeeded by Professor L. P. Breckenridge, '81 S., who formerly taught at the University of Illinois, a brilliant engineer and a strong man personally. Professor Ross Harrison, a recently appointed University Professor of Comparative Anatomy, has most of his work in Sheff, and his influence is felt there very strongly. Professor J. F. McClelland has this year been made Professor of Mining Engineering. In the Select Course there have been changes of which I think the most important is the addition of Professor W. C. Abbott as Professor of History. NUMERICAL GROWTH Perhaps the most striking change in Sheff in the last five years has been in regard to the number of students. For several years the entering classes have averaged about 400, of whom about 250 receive their diplomas with the class in which they enter. The graduate students in Sheff number about 175 against about 100 when we were undergraduates. In general the increase has been about 70 per cent, in all classes and in the Faculty as well. The Faculty increase has been confined almost entirely to the instructors and assistants. MISCELLANY 191 THE SHEFF EDUCATIONAL POLICY No article on the history of Shefif would be at all complete without some consideration of its educational policy. Whether it is to be regarded more as cause or effect, it is impossible to say, but the fact is obvious that the three-year course is a dominating influence in the Sheff teaching policy. Having only three years in which to teach the equivalent of four years' work in other colleges means one of two things: the course must be shortened by omission or the men must work harder to make up for the lost time. Here at Sheff the result is, I think, a mean between the two alternatives. The course is shortened by the omission of a great deal of laboratory and shop work. (I am considering more especially the engineering courses, with which I am most familiar.) It has always been an open question whether a man needs a great deal along that line, and I think that Sheff is answering that question in the negative as her graduates go out into the professional world and come into competition with men from other colleges where the shop work is taught and they make good. I have in mind several cases of men in our own Class who have men working under them who graduated several years before our classmates. Now why is it that they can "make good"? It is just because the Sheff gradu- ate has been taught ''why" and has not had his time taken up with a mass of detail telling him "how." The Sheff man is taught the fundamentals of his profession, the idea being that it will be easy for him to pick up the details of his specialty afterward if he has the root or foundation thoroughly in his mind. In addition to the above idea, it has also been the aim of the School to give in some degree a liberal education. CHANGES IN UNDERGRADUATE CONDITIONS The two most important changes that have taken place in the last few years in the undergraduate life at Sheff are first, the formation of the Student Council, and second, the change in the society system. The Student Council, organized last year, is composed of fif- teen men, one from each of the seven societies, seven non-society 192 MISCELLANY men and the president of the Sheff Y. M. C. A. A glance at some of the important results obtained by the Council shows that it has really accomplished a great deal in the first two years of its existence. The Governing Board of the School has accepted its recommendation with reference to excusing high stand men from examinations; a new course of lectures, inter- esting and instructive, has been secured for the Freshmen ; the Council has been instrumental in having the approximate grades put on report cards ; the Council adopted a new method for the election of class officers, vice presidents of athletic associations and all other officers and committees except Commencement com- mittees. Under this new system the names of the candidates for all offices are listed at the polls in view of the voters during the primaries; the two men receiving the highest number of votes at the primaries are voted on in the evening at the finals and the one receiving the largest number of votes at the finals is elected. A mass of minor matters has been handled by the Council, such as getting slight changes made in recitation and examination schedules, promoting concerts on the Sheff campus and helping men in individual cases. Cordial relations have been established with the Yale Daily News. The News is and always has been primarily an Academic institution, and not knowing our problems and conditions, they cannot write of us intelligently or sympathetically, let their intentions be as good as they may. It is the policy of the News now to consult the chairman of the Council when Sheff questions are involved. The new society system had its first try-out this year. The idea in this system is that there shall be no Freshman campaign- ing until the first day of the winter term, and that the societies shall not give to nor accept from the members of the Freshman Class any form of entertainment except in the society houses and then only at the time of the receptions in the winter term. The new system has not worked to the satisfaction of all, this fall, and there is a pretty general feeling that, if ultimately suc- cessful, certain conditions, present during this first year, will have to be altered. Public opinion and custom may in years to come effect what arbitrary rules fail at first to accomplish. ALUMNI CLASS FUNDS i93 THE ALUMNI FUND By Lowell M. Clucas The growth and progress of the Yale Alumni University Fund since its inception, just twenty years ago, has been a constant and ever-increasing source of gratification to the founders and everyone interested in the financial up-building of Yale ; in fact, the figures, as shown below, are nothing short of wonderful. In 1891 the number of contributors was 385 and the amount con- tributed $11,015.08. From this start, the annual increase in both number of subscribers and amounts subscribed has been one of steady and healthy growth, until for the year ending June 30, 1910, the figures showed: Total number of Yale graduate contributors for year 1909-10, 3,027. Total amount contributed for year 1909-10, $143,750.48. The Class of 1905 S. has grown from 23 subscribers and $99.00 subscribed in 1906, to 35 subscribers and $229.00 given in 1910; but as 1907 and 1908 were our banner years, we show a grand total of $997.50, an average of practically $200.00 a year. The Alumni University Fund was established in 1890 to endea- vor to meet an ever-increasing annual deficit in the finances of the University, and differs from other University funds in the fact that its management is in the hands of nine graduates appointed by the President of the University and approved by the Corporation. The Treasurer of the University serves as treasurer. The amounts received each year are appropriated in two ways : first for general University expenses, as for example, in meeting a deficit of any department, in increasing professors' salaries, etc., but without distinction as to department ; secondly, for addition to the principal of the Fund. For the year 1910, the net receipts, as above stated, were $143,7 c;o.48. This was divided as follows : for general University purposes, $49,000.00 ; to be added to principal, $94,750.48. This brings the total prin- cipal of the Fund, as of July i, 1910, up to $450,403.87. The total amount of contributions, exclusive of that added to prin- 194 MISCELLANY cipal, that has been appropriated as income for University run- ning expenses, has been $330,763.18. Contributions to the Fund are made generally through the Class Agents, appointed at graduation to collect from the Class, but there is an increasing tendency among graduates, as the pur- poses for which the Fund was founded are becoming more gen- erally known, to make special donations, either to principal or for income; this is done at reunion times, by will, and in other ways, and is especially desirable, inasmuch as most of the gifts to the University heretofore have been designated for a par- ticular purpose and therefore not applicable to general expenses. Briefly, the Alumni Fund has become indispensable to the Uni- versity and as the vast body of graduates come to know its ideals and purposes, the yearly income should swell until a large major- ity have become regular yearly subscribers, who will come to consider it not a duty, but a privilege, to be a member of such a worthy body.

Graduate members only are included in the vital and occupation statistics while in the locality index, prepared not so much for statistical use as for handy reference, both graduates and so far as addresses are known non-graduates as well are included. In the vital and occu- pation tables care has been taken to list the itemized facts under individual names so making it possible for future tabulators to build intelligently on these facts and also making it possible to rectify any errors in the compilation. The tabulations include facts so far as reported up to December i, 19 lo. MARRIAGE STATISTICS OF GRADUATE MEMBERS ONLY In the following table are given the names of those graduate members of the Class of 1905 S. who on December i, 1910, were reported to be married ; the date of their marriage, their approxi- mate age at marriage, and the number of sons and daughters reported born to each up to the same date. When the sex of a child is not known the count has been put under the "boys" column and enclosed in parenthesis. It will be noted that out of a class of 165 graduate members, 58 or more than one-third were married at five and one-half years after graduation. To these 58 Benedicts have been bom 12 sons and, mirabile dictii! 19 daughters; while two children, with sex unreported, bring the total children of the Class on December i, 1910, to 33.
