FOREWORD 
 
 To THE CLASS: 
 
 Thanks to those who have aided in the preparation of 
 this book, and regret that its appearance has been so long 
 delayed, are the two thoughts which demand expression in 
 this, the last word for the Vicennial Report. The delay, I 
 take wholly upon my own shoulders, extenuating my fault only 
 by reference to a large number of calls upon my time and other 
 personal reasons connected with my business. The forbear- 
 ance of the Class I have always relied upon and have never 
 been disappointed. 
 
 Even now, its pages would not have been ready for your 
 perusal had it not been for the devoted labors of William 
 Savage Burns, who, with diligence, skill, and cheerful sac- 
 rifice of time has done a very large part of the work of prepar- 
 ation of the biographies. The Bibliography is entirely his 
 work and represents much labor in the best libraries within 
 reach. To him I extend the most hearty thanks of the Class 
 and myself. 
 
 Without enumerating them, I also wish to thank others 
 of the Class, who, by written and spoken suggestion, and by 
 supplying the photographs from which many of the illus- 
 trations are reproduced, have contributed much to make the 
 book what it is. Who some of them are, will be apparent 
 from a perusal of the pages which follow. 
 
 It will be noticed that the biographical sketches have 
 been made more complete than in former reports, by the ad- 
 dition of information concerning parentage, preparation for 
 college, relationship and other facts dating back of entrance 
 to college. While these items may not add very largely to 
 the present interest of the Report, it is hoped that they will 
 add to its value as a permanent record. It should be possible 
 to turn to the class record of any graduate of Yale and learn 
 
from its pages all concerning him which can be concisely 
 stated in print. It is hoped that the biographies herein, ap- 
 proach that design ; but at the same time addition of informa 
 tion not now available may be hereafter made to advantage. 
 
 It may have seemed to some of you that some of the 
 information which you have been asked to contribute was 
 somewhat irrelevant; but with the design above outlined in 
 mind I think you will agree with me that every fact which 
 I have sought to elicit from you may have a bearing upon 
 the preparation of a biography which shall enable your class- 
 mates and others to see you as you really are. 
 
 I have made a diligent effort, too, to get back into the 
 lists, some of the missing non-graduate members of the Class. 
 Many of them have never been heard from directly or in- 
 directly since they left college, and some have appeared only 
 for a moment within the scope of the Secretary's vision, to 
 disappear again. 
 
 If it shall be my lot to prepare another Class Report, it 
 is my hope that it shall contain the name and some facts con- 
 cerning every man whose name was ever enrolled upon the 
 membership roll of '87. I ask each man to bear in mind this 
 desire, and in the event that he shall have knowledge of any 
 man whose biography is entitled to a place in our records, 
 but is missing or incomplete, to see that such information 
 reaches me. 
 
 Very sincerely yours, 
 
 GEORGE E. HILL, 
 Bridgeport, June 15, 1909. Secretary. 
 
SINCE THE LAST REPORT 
 
 HE additional year or more since this report should, 
 in the orderly progress of events, have been is- 
 sued to an expectant world, gives some informa- 
 tion for its pages which would have been nec- 
 essarily omitted had it gone to press earlier. 
 These lines are written as the news is being ticked across 
 the world that the people have for the first time chosen a 
 Yale man for President and a word of gratified pride that 
 such is the case cannot properly be construed, in a Yale Class 
 Report, as an introduction of politics into its pages. Doubt- 
 less some Yale men, perhaps some '87 men were among those 
 who felt it a duty to vote against him, but even those will 
 unite with all other Yale men everywhere in a feeling of sat- 
 isfaction that worth and circumstance combined to give Yale 
 the honor which thus comes to her. 
 
 The Class, entering upon its third decade of post-grad- 
 uate life has, among its- members, men whose accomplishments 
 must be recorded early in these pages. To tell of them thus 
 among ourselves is not a boast but a mere chronicle of events 
 of interest and importance to each one of us. They cannot 
 all be referred to here, but the pages which follow will show 
 what each man has done for himself, the world and the rep- 
 utation of Yale and '87, so far as they can be gleaned from the 
 all too modest reports which you have given of yourselves. 
 
 It is a busy lot of fellows, this Class of '87. The drones 
 are either few or absent altogether from its roll of member- 
 ship. It is that persistence in useful occupation which will 
 most impress one who tries to look them all over and draw 
 a composite picture of the 127 men who remain.* Every man 
 
 *The statistical part of the Report was in type before the death of 
 Clinton Larue Hare, who died June 4, 1909. It did not seem feasible to 
 make changes in that part of the book already set up. The figures, 
 therefore, include Hare among the living, rather than among the de- 
 ceased members. 
 
b CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 has a useful occupation and is making the most of the noon 
 of his active life. Most of them are doing it in a way which 
 is suggestive in some measure of the characteristics which 
 marked him when he was in college. 
 
 Do you remember how George Pettee was accustomed 
 to hustle in college, especially around examination time? 
 We all knew then as we know now that he was a born teacher 
 
 with an energy back of him which knew no limits. He is 
 hustling just the same to-day. Not long ago he resigned from 
 the headship of the University School, in Cleveland, because 
 he wanted to work out plans of his own, and now he is work- 
 ing out those plans on a couple of thousand acres up in Berk- 
 shire County, Massachusetts. 
 
 Tom Penney has gone from bad to worse. He has been 
 for years counsel for the Consolidated Street Railway Lines, 
 of Buffalo, and "all 'round about," but not many weeks ago 
 
SINCE LAST REPORT 7 
 
 he became President of the Company, thereby getting into 
 the Trust Magnate Class. 
 
 In the meantime Fred Hill has been practicing law and 
 writing books. From appearances the law practice must suf- 
 fer sometimes for books, articles and stories follow one an- 
 other with all the rapidity consistent with good work. The 
 years since the last report have led Fred into at least three 
 distinct lines of literary work fiction, history and biography, 
 with the last two predominating over the former. "Lincoln, 
 
 "AND FROZE OUR FEATURES FOR A PHOTOGRAPH." 
 
 the Lawyer," "Decisive Battles of the Law," and the "Story 
 of a Street," each fills a place of its own, untouched by other 
 writers. In these books it is not that Fred has handled a 
 particular subject better than some one else, but rather it 
 should be said that he has handled well a subject no one 
 else has touched. That Yale gave him an honorary degree 
 Master of Arts in 1907, need surprise no one who has followed 
 his literary progress. 
 
 Billy Kent was similiarly honored by Yale in 1908. In 
 conferring this degree, the University recognized many things 
 
CLASS OF EIGHTY- SEVEN 
 
 which we of the Class have known for years. His recent gift 
 to the United States Government of 295 acres of primeval 
 California redwood growth on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais, 
 near San Francisco, is a matter of public record and public 
 knowledge. The canon thus given and containing the last 
 
 HEADQUARTERS 
 
 of the primeval redwoods in that part of California some of 
 them eighteen feet in diameter and three hundred feet in 
 height has, by proclamation of the President, been made a 
 "National Monument," and will be known as Muir Woods. 
 
 John Rogers, by a discovery but little known to laymen, 
 has added materially to the store of medical knowledge and 
 
SINCE LAST REPORT 
 
 contributed to the alleviation of human suffering. The nature 
 of this discovery and the peculiar circumstances surrounding 
 it cannot be better expressed than by quoting from an article 
 by W. W. Keen, M. D., L. L. D., in the April, 1909, Harper's 
 on "Recent Surgical Progress," in which the althor says : 
 
 ''Recently an antidote (for exophthalmic goiter or Graves' 
 disease), has been prepared by Rogers swid Beebe, of Xew 
 York, which promises very much in the way of cure and 
 may possibly obviate operation. One of the gentlemen most 
 interested in the development of the antidote (Dr. Rogers), 
 was spurred on in his experiments by the fact that his own 
 wife was suffering dreadfully from the disease and rapidly 
 nearing the grave. 
 
 The idea of preparing this anti-serum or antidote had 
 come to him while watching the action of another anti-serum 
 whose whole effect was spent upon the kidney, no other organ 
 of the body being affected. This suggested to him the idea 
 that an anti-serum might be prepared from diseased thyroids 
 which would have its effect upon the thyroid gland. 
 
 Soon after this fruitful idea had developed in his mind, 
 a patient with Graves' disease died, and at the post-mortem 
 he obtained the thyroid gland from this unfortunate patient. 
 With this a number of rabbits were inoculated, but in con- 
 sequence of his total ignorance of the proper method of using 
 it, all but one of these rabbits died. From this one rabbit 
 there was prepared an extraordinarily good serum, which ab- 
 solutely cured three human beings and partially cured two 
 others. The second of the three who were cured was the wife 
 of the Doctor himself. Her attending physician, one of great 
 eminence, declared to her husband that how long she would 
 live was only a question of hours. By reason of the fact that 
 its instant use was imperative before it could be thoroughly 
 tested on animals so as to learn its dangers and how to avoid 
 them, he nearly killed his own wife in his attempt to cure her, 
 but she is to-day a perfecly well woman ; thanks to this ex- 
 periment on a small number of rabbits."

 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 Since the last report went to press, sixteen marriages have 
 directly involved members of the Class. Five of these are 
 second marriages. 
 
 Those whose names are thus added to what Sam Knight 
 once called the Benedictine Class are : Adams, Bissell, Carlton, 
 Cobb, Cullinan, Curtis, Dann, Douglass, C. Ferris, Gardiner, 
 Hawkes, Lewis, C. Morse, Pritchard, Seymour and E. Trow- 
 bridge. 
 
 Twenty-seven bachelors still remain an old guard which 
 has neither died or surrendered. 
 
 -" CAPT. BAYNE SELECTED HIS BASE BALL TEAM 
 WITH THE UTMOST CARE." 
 
 There are therefore just one hundred of the living mem- 
 bers of the Class who have entered upon married life. Seven 
 of the deceased members of the Class were married. Eight 
 have contracted second marriages and one has been married 
 three times. 
 
 Nine graduates and one non-graduate have died since 
 January, 1903. Pennell died not long after that date, and 
 then no deaths occurred until two years later, when, within 
 a few months Hunt, Johnson, Peet, and Turney all passed on. 
 
SINCE LAST REPORT 
 
 11 
 
 In May, 1906, Brigham died, and in 1907, we lost Bowers. In 
 1908 death claimed Abell, Gillespie and Hard. 
 
 Thus it appears that there are but one hundred and 
 twenty-seven of us left of the one hundred and fifty, whose 
 names appear on the complete graduate roster of the Class. 
 
 That the deaths have been more numerous in the second 
 decade than in the first, is only natural To the close of 1897, 
 seven members had died, while in the period from January 
 1, 1898 to January 1, 1909, we lost sixteen. 
 
 To compare the mortality of the Class with that of other 
 classes shows us to have been less fortunate in this respect 
 
 than they. No class from '82 to '92, has lost as many mem- 
 bers by death as we, and no class except the Class of '82, 
 as large a percentage of members and the figures for '82 
 cover a period of twenty-five years while ours cover a period 
 of but little more than twenty. 
 
 Up to 1908, the Class of '87 had lost 15 per cent, of its 
 graduate members by death, and '82 had lost the same per- 
 centage ; '83 and '86, fourteen per cent. ; '84 and '88 eleven 
 per cent.; '85, ten per cent.; '89 and '92, eight per cent.; '91, 
 seven per cent., and '90 only two per cent. 
 
12 CLASS OF KIGHTY-SEVEX 
 
 Of the seven deceased members who were married, five 
 left children ; while of the living benedicts, seventy-nine have 
 children, leaving among the living members, twenty-one mar- 
 riages thus far childless. 
 
 Two hundred and sixteen is the aggregate number of all 
 our children and their average ages would be not far from 
 eleven years. 
 
 The boys outnumber the girls somewhat, there being one 
 hundred and nineteen of the former and only ninety-seven 
 of the latter. Of this total of two hundred and sixteen, seven 
 boys and six girls have died. 
 
 The average size of families of those having children is 
 2 57-100. 
 
 Twenty-two have but one child each ; twenty-six, two 
 each ; seventeen, three each ; eleven, four each ; four, five each ; 
 two, six each ; one, seven, and one eight. 
 
 Among the children are two pairs of twins. 
 
 The sons of '87 are already beginning to come to Yale. 
 Pettee's son is in the Sophomore Class and John Hugus Cald- 
 well, of the Freshman Class, is a son of "Vic" Caldwell. 
 
 The changes which the tweny odd years since '87 have 
 wrought in the College are too many to be enumerated. That 
 President D wight, enjoying the fruits of a green old age still 
 lives to reciprocate in some degree at least, the warm affec- 
 tion which '87 feels toward him is shown by a recent letter 
 of which the following is a copy : 
 
 NEW HAVEN, March 15, 1909 
 GEORGE E. HILL, ESQ., 
 
 My Dear Mr. Hill: In reply to your kind letter offering 
 me the privilege of addressing a few words of greeting to your 
 classmates which may be published in your Class Report of 
 this year, I desire to express my thanks and to request you 
 to give to all the Yale men of '87 the assurance of my affec- 
 tionate regard. Your class was the first that Avas graduated 
 under my administration, and I may well have a special in- 
 
SINCE LAST REPORT 1H 
 
 terest in your life and work. I can scarcely realize so quick- 
 ly does time move onward that nearly twenty-two years 
 have passed since your graduation and that you have all 
 moved forward from youth to middle age. But you may 
 fitly rejoice, and all who have known you may well rejoice 
 with you, in the knowledge of the good work that you have 
 done and are doing, and in the evidence and the assurance 
 that the true Yale spirit is abiding in you as the years move 
 onward. 
 
 My best wishes and most kindly friendship continue with 
 you, and I hope that each and all of your class will find in 
 your personal experience that life grows happier as you grow 
 older and that your outlook toward the future will be ever 
 inspiring for your truest manhood. 
 
 Let me ask you to give me a kindly thought as you think 
 of the past and to count me in the coming time as one who 
 keeps in pleasant remembrance the days of 1887. 
 
 Very sincerely yours, 
 
 TIMOTHY DWIGHT. 
 
 Men over forty do not change their occupations or loca- 
 tions very materially. Like all Yale classes of the past fifty 
 years the law has claimed a larger percentage of '87 men than 
 any other profession or occupation ; forty, or thirty-one per 
 cent of the Class being lawyers. 
 
 A comparison with other classes of about our time may 
 be of interest.

THE VICENNIAL REUNION. 
 
 A CONTRIBUTION BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM LYON PHELPS. 
 
 ATURDAY morning, June 27, dawned clear and 
 bright. After a somewhat prolonged experience 
 with the New Haven climate, I find that the 
 animadversions made upon it really come from 
 envy rather than from a capacity or an inclina- 
 tion to tell the truth. The New Haven climate as a normal 
 climate, is actually one of the best, if not the best, in the 
 world. It is better than the climate of Russia, England, 
 .Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Chicago, Buffalo, 
 Cleveland, and other wild and barbarous localities ; it does 
 not of course resemble the climate of Ceylon, Hawaii, Colorado 
 Springs, or Southern California ; but those places are not 
 climates at all ; they are Sanitoria. After this divagation or 
 cadenza, I return to my muttons, that is, to the lost sheep 
 of the House of Israel ; more specifically to the remnants 
 of the once youthful Class of '87. 
 
 Of all the members of the Class dwelling in the dark- 
 ness of the outlying districts, the first to pierce the city limits 
 of Elmtown was the majestic form of the Secretary, George 
 Edwin Hill. One of the greatest myths now current in the 
 class is the myth that George has gained in clay-weight since 
 the day of his graduation. Put him on the scales, and they 
 will fall from your eyes. In his freshman year he was in- 
 deed a lissome thing; to have seen him then in his present 
 waistcoat, one would have guessed that he was taking the 
 air in a dirigible balloon. Yet in the early months of his 
 course he pranced about the campus like a wild gazelle. 
 But one cannot laugh as often as he did during his college 
 career without having tangible results. An examination of 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 
 
 21 
 
 his financial accounts from Freshman to Senior year shows 
 that he spent some thousands of dollars, and gained sixty 
 pounds ! Now we cannot see too much of our Class Secre- 
 tary ; but I can prove that we see no more of him now than 
 we did on Commencement Day. If he takes off his eye- 
 glasses, he tips the beam at precisely the gratuity that he 
 handed it when he received his diploma. Well, George 
 
 "MONDAY WAS SPENT ON AND AROUND THE FENCE." 
 
 ambled up Chapel Street shortly after luncheon, and entered 
 my front door at a dog trot exactly as the digits of the tall 
 clock in my hall pointed to 2 :19. We spent the golden hours 
 of the afternoon in discussing various plans for the approach- 
 ing event; and after night fell, and the ways of the earth were 
 overshadowed, we made a desperate sortie and reached 
 the fastness of the Graduates Club with only trifling loss. 
 There we found a select bunch, consisting of Burke, Cowles, 
 V. Caldwell, B. Kent, and a particularly welcome spectacle 
 Nervy Bayne ! This latter gentleman had apparently 
 changed in physical contour not one iota-subscript since the 
 days when in Freshman year he essayed strenuously and 
 
22 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 vainly to put 'em over the plate. T. L. is a magnificent 
 specimen of preserved youth, and no member of the class 
 received a more sincere greeting than he. The evening was 
 spent pleasantly in reminiscent gossip, and in anticipatory 
 delight. 
 
 The diurnal motion of the spotted globe pushed New Haven 
 into the sunshine at an early hour on Sabbath morning, and 
 caressingly touched the whiskers of Benjy Romaine, till they 
 glowed like much fine gold, and dripped honey sweeter than 
 curry and the curry-comb. Benjy's experience was remark- 
 able and dramatic, and proves that History does repeat it- 
 self. Immediately upon his arrival from San Francisco, 
 Benjy repaired to the exact house on Crown Street where he 
 had lived during the whole of his Freshman year. The same 
 landlady was there who in the olden time had taken care of 
 him, and she had exactly the same room for him, empty, 
 swept, and garnished. No man was ever on better terms 
 with his landlady than B. Romaine for did he not take her 
 to the Junior Promenade? Of all the class, no one enjoyed 
 the twentieth reunion more than this man, the noblest Romaine 
 of them all, for he had traveled far to see the fun, and every- 
 body was glad to greet him. Shortly after breakfast Tracy, 
 Diehl and Brownson were "among those present," and the 
 topic of conversation turned on wedding festivities as the 
 burly form of the valedictorian hove in sight. T. Curtis, 
 now of Oregon, had been married only a few days, and the 
 Class Secretary had officiated as best man. Speaking of mar- 
 riages reminds us that one of the pleasantest features of this 
 reunion was the fact that so many of the men brought their 
 wives with them to share the fun. 
 
 Sunday afternoon about twenty assembled at the Class 
 Headquarters in Old South Middle, and temporarily froze 
 their features for a photograph, a rehearsal for the official pic- 
 ture which was to come. 
 
 Monday morning came blushing, clad in the finest of 
 summer weather garments, and every train that entered the 
 horrible New Haven station brought some '87 men to town. 
 Jim Sheffield and Sam Knight were among the first to appear, 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 23 
 
 and as they walked up Chapel Street, arm in arm, many 
 members of less fortunate classes stared silently at them, 
 spell-bound in admiration. The feature of the morning was 
 the '87 reception given at Grove Hall by Mrs. Thacher, who 
 carried her eighty years with wonderful ease and grace. All 
 the '87 men in town attended this reception to greet the wife 
 of one of Yale's great Professors, and as she talked with 
 another splendid octogenarienne, Mrs. Whitney, we were all 
 vividly reminded of two names that have helped to make 
 Yale great. Our honored and beloved President Dwight 
 attended this reception, wearing an '87 button that one of 
 the '87 wives had pinned to his coat. In vigor, cheerfulness, 
 and high spirits, no undergraduate of to-day has anything on 
 Timothy Dwight, '49, honorary member of '87. "Andy" 
 Phillips, who had previously paid a formal visit to '87's 
 headquarters, was also at this reception, and was heartily 
 welcomed. Returning to South Middle, we gave a hearty 
 cheer for the class of '57, and had no difficulty in recogniz- 
 ing among its members President Northrop, and Professor 
 Wheeler, both of whom had done much to make the class 
 of '87 the finest body of men that had ever graduated from 
 Yale. 
 
 A great feature of our reunion was the genuine old Fence, 
 which was placed in front of South Middle, and which was 
 occupied by men of forty years of age from early morning 
 till long after midnight. This Fence was regarded with 
 silent reverence by the passing students, and we could hear 
 them whispering about it as they departed. 
 
 On Monday afternoon, in the hallowed ground in front 
 of Durfee, was pulled off the great base ball match between 
 '87 and '92. Capt. Bayne selected his men with the utmost 
 care, and a wonderful fight was the result. The ball looked 
 like a rice-pudding, and the umpire was venal ; two things 
 which materially assisted in our splendid victory. The score 
 was announced first as 402 runs to 179, in favor of '92, but 
 after the umpire had been given a good cigar, a more right- 
 eous verdict was officially promulgated, and the rest of the 
 afternoon was spent in celebrating. In the midst of the 
 
24 
 
 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 match, time was called, while the graduating class, which 
 had been holding its class histories in the proximity, marched 
 across our diamond, accompanied by many fair ones. Cheers 
 were given and exchanged with great spirit. 
 
 Monday evening was spent on and around the fence, which 
 soon appeared exactly as in our time, for all the old songs 
 were sung, and a fringe of muckers gathered on the out- 
 skirts, precisely like the dear dead dog days beyond recall. 
 It was during this performance that the present writer lost 
 his voice, for the first and only time in his life, and during 
 
 the rest of the week emitted only stage whispers. Late in 
 the evening some of the '87 wives decorated the fence with 
 their gracious presence, and it was well on toward morn be- 
 fore the rails were deserted. 
 
 Tuesday was again brilliant with sunshine, but hot O, 
 it was hot, and it grew steadily hotter till the fall of night. 
 Over seventy-five members of the class were together at the 
 fence, and the official picture was taken about noon. As 
 a collection of deciduous heads, one copy has been deposited 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 25 
 
 in the archives of the Forest School ; and owing to the glare 
 of the sun, the expressions on the features of the men look 
 like a pathological study. Most of them are simply "hang- 
 ing" faces, and would require no additional or verbal evi- 
 dence in a murder trial. A meeting was then held in the room 
 in Osborn where English Literature is said to be taught by 
 a member of the class. The hat was passed for extras, and 
 was filled to overflowing with various images and superscrip- 
 tions. Then the class adjourned to the University Dining 
 Hall, where in heat that will make Tophet seem raw, a lunch 
 was hastily swallowed. We then formed in order of march 
 on College Street, and Billy Hand led the way toward the 
 campus with the same old flag that he has always carried. 
 In spite of all the hilarity of this occasion, many a man had 
 a lump in his throat as he followed the '8? flag. On the 
 campus the class reformed the only time such a thing has 
 ever been asked of it and the line of march proceeded out 
 Vanderbilt gateway, to High Street, down High to George, 
 where trolley cars were taken to the Yale Field. Around 
 and around the Field we marched, winning universal en- 
 comiums for our splendid style, youth, and beauty. The 
 game was a terrible shock to us, and many members of the 
 class fainted under the awful surprise, for Yale actually 
 won ! ! ! Of course this made it seem like a real reunion, 
 for in our day we knew little but diamond victories, but it is 
 so long since anything like this has happened that we 
 rubbed our eyes to see if Stagg were not in the box, and Dann 
 whipping 'em down to second. After the game, in the fear- 
 ful heat, we marched all the way in, and stopped first before 
 the residence of the greatest College Dean in the World 
 Henry P. Wright. He made us a heart-warming speech, and 
 as we went away we knew that the classes to come had 
 every reason to envy us ; for no matter how great Deans and 
 Professors may be in the future, there is only one Baldy 
 Wright. Then we marched, larding the lean earth as we 
 walked along, to the home of President Dwight. He stood 
 at the door, wearing the '87 insignia, and made us one of his 
 incomparable speeches. Thence we proceeded to the house 
 
26 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 of President Hadley, who showed that he remembered us 
 collectively and individually. Back to the campus; break 
 ranks ; and every man hunted a bath, so that he could sit 
 down to the dinner in his right mind. 
 
 The dinner is described elsewhere. By nine o'clock on 
 Commencement morning every one had recovered and was 
 sitting on and near the Fence in the warm Commencement 
 sunshine. This was a delightful experience. We let the 
 great procession of graduates go by, proud to see among 
 them Fred Hill, our first "honorary," and spent the hours in 
 cheerful smoke-talk. We found that many things had hap- 
 pened. Toot Bigelow had developed into a genuine literary 
 star of the first magnitude ; Victor Caldwell was financing 
 the entire middle West; Jack Hume's name had become a 
 terror to evil-doers ; Irvin had Dayton so tame that it was 
 eating out of his hand ; Keeler had almost forgotten that he 
 had once roomed with Blondy, and gave us many good stories 
 of fair Southern climes : Rosenzweig had Kansas City where 
 it couldn't get away ; and Leverett made a dramatic climax 
 by insisting that George Hill was Middlebrook ! 
 
 During the afternoon, many folded their tents like the 
 scarabs, and silently stole away. Few remained for the race 
 at New London, where we did what our daddies used to do; 
 affectionate goodbyes, promises to meet again, and hopes for 
 future prosperity were interchanged; and the condition of the 
 headquarters was finally immortalized by Billy Burns, in the 
 following poem that he left in the old room in South Middle : 
 
 " 'Tis Thursday afternoon ; and all the gang 
 Have left the town, excepting only me. 
 
 Forlorn and desolate, I seem to hang 
 
 Like Dr. Holmes' last leaf upon the tree. 
 
 Another hour, and I too will be gone, 
 
 And Vigentennial will be no more. 
 We'll face the future with to-morrow's dawn, 
 
 And bravely enter on the "second score." 
 
THE VICENNIAL DINNER. 
 
 HE preceding chapter from the pen of the Toastmaster 
 but gives the setting of the jewel. The jewel itself 
 or rather the many jewels of thought as presented 
 by the stenographer who was smuggled in to the 
 dinner as the musicians were thrown out, follows : 
 
 The men who were crowded into the all too small dinine 
 room of the University Club, were seventy-four in number. 
 If any names are omitted it is because their owners failed to 
 register. The great roster of the day, however, shows the 
 following registrations : 
 
 Archibald, Adams, Burke, Bayne, Brownson, Burns, V. 
 Caldwell, Clarke, Coit, Cobb, Chambers, Cowles, Corwin, 
 Curtis, Chase, Copley, Coxe, Cullinan, Dann, Diehl, C. Fer- 
 ris, H. Ferris, Gates, Goodenough, Gray, F, Hill, G. Hill, 
 Hare, Hand, Hartridge, Haven, Hume, Hawkes, Irvin, 
 Jenks, C. Jennings, O. Jennings, Kent, S. Knight, C. Knight, 
 King, Kirkham, Keeler, Ketcham, Lewis, Leeds, W. Lud- 
 ington, Maxwell, R. Morse, Middlebrook, Norton, Phelps,

 Romaine, Rosenzweig, Rogers, Setchell, Scoville, Sheffield, 
 Tracy, Thacher, E. Trowbridge, F. Trowbridge, Tuttle, Tay- 
 lor, Thomas, Torrey, Washburn, F. Woodward, G. Wood- 
 ward, Wotkyns. 
 
 To this list should be added the name of George R. 
 Carter, '88 S., Governor of Hawaii, who was present a part 
 of the evening. 
 
 What was set before us in the way of food and drink, 
 matters little, but the ante-prandial announcement of it, read 
 as follows :

 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 When the toastmaster arose to call to order the expect- 
 ant assemblage it was discovered that for the first time in his 
 life he was practically speechless. His usual mellifluous voice 
 had been sacrificed to the enthusiasm of the game. 
 
 After several futile efforts to make himself heard, he 
 found a few remnants of a badly broken voice and forced it 
 to convey to the Class the following well chosen words: 
 
 THE TOASTMASTER: 
 
 For the first time in my life, I have lost my voice ! I have 
 been celebrating this '87 re-union by the hallooing of anthems, 
 
 SEVENTY-EIGHT AND EIGHTY-SEVEN., 
 
 and I have actually lost my voice. I have not however lost 
 my nerve. I had a large number of things to say, but you 
 won't be able to hear what I have to say for I am unable to say 
 it. As I look over the men here I see a great difference between 
 the class to-day and the class twenty years ago. It is chiefly an 
 abdominal addition. If you look, you will see that what I 
 say is correct. Nearly every man has a large protruding ab- 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 31 
 
 dominal cavity. Fred Chase of Waterbury is, of course, an 
 exception. 
 
 I can't help thinking to-night how much the class of 
 '87 has accomplished. It's a pleasant thing to remember that 
 while our class was not particularly distinguished in college 
 for anything in any special line, it was a class almost without 
 party, and it really did stand for democracy. 
 
 A few years ago in one of the classes a student was asked, 
 "What is your favorite character in fiction?" And the student 
 replied, "My favorite character in fiction is Yale Democracy." 
 Although it is impossible that democracy should exist in col- 
 lege to-day as it did in our time, the young men of 1907 are 
 socially democratic. Still, the real democracy has remained in 
 our class, and it is a pleasant thing to think that so many of our 
 men have gone out into the world and accomplished so much. 
 The condition of politics in various parts of the country would 
 be very different to-night from what it is were it not for men 
 like Billy Kent and Jim Sheffield and Woodward and Torrey 
 (old white haired Torrey there looks ten thousand years old.) 
 Old Torrey there looks as if he had been born in B. C. To-day 
 a man asked me if he didn't belong to the Class of '57. Now, 
 old Torrey is a member of the judiciary committee that makes 
 the laws in our legislature. 
 
 John Diehl. John went into a dentist's office and sat 
 down to have some teeth fixed. The dentist said, "Will you 
 open your mouth, please?" John did so and the dentist said, 
 "Not so wide, I wish to stand outside." 
 
 John always was a square Deal, and he is going to talk 
 to us about Milestones. John is at the head of aa educational 
 institution in Erie, Pennsylvania. Erie, Pennsylvania, is the 
 absolute limit, but it isn't half so bad a town as it was before 
 John went there. I met a man from Erie once, and I asked 
 him, "Where do you come from?" He said, "Erie." And he 
 said John Diehl was one of the biggest citizens in that town. 
 And I want John to tell us how he lives in that place. 
 
32 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 JOHN C. DIEHL. 
 
 MR. TOASTMASTER, AND CLASSMATES OF '87: 
 
 In one of its weak moments the class committee asked me if I 
 would not respond to a toast this evening, and I thoughtlessly agreed 
 to do so, but I feel very much like the little girl who entered the 
 drug store and said to the druggist, "Can you fix castor oil so you 
 can't taste it?" And he said, "I think so. By the way, little girl, 
 wouldn't you like a glass of soda water?" And she said, "Yes, I do 
 like it; it's very kind of you to give me some." And she drank the 
 soda water. Then he said to her, "Did you taste it?" And she said, 
 "What?" "Why," he said, "the castor oil! It was in that soda water." 
 "Why," she said, "that castor oil was for mamma, what shall I do?" 
 
 Now, you know in the case of the little girl and in my own case, 
 if it were done, it were well it were done quickly. 
 
 Probably the most famous row of Mile Stones in history, or one 
 of the most famous, is the row of Mile Stones clear across the bound- 
 ary of my native State of Pennsylvania and the State of Maryland. 
 For a long time the family of William Penn and the family of young 
 Lord Baltimore had disputed about this boundary line, and finally 
 they sent over to England for two celebrated mathematicians and 
 surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, and they ran this 
 boundary line 244 miles west, and at the end of every mile they 
 planted a mile stone, and every fifth mile was larger than the rest, and 
 on the north face of this stone were the arms of the family of Penn, 
 and on the south face the arms of the family of Lord Baltimore. 
 This row of Mile Stones is surpassed in history alone by the row 
 of Mile Stones that is to be made by the Class of '87, since it left 
 Yale College. Some of our Mile Stones are like these particular 
 Mile Stones but they have on them on the back the arms and perhaps 
 some other charming bits of anatomy of the New Haven girl, and 
 on the front the arms and the features (becoming clearer and clearer), 
 of one that was to take a higher place than any New Haven girl 
 or any other girl could take. 
 
 The first large Mile Stone in our history, Triennial, has engraved 
 upon it in large letters A-B-E-L-L and a baby boy that has in his 
 hand the prize of a hotly contested race. 
 
 Between triennial and sexennial, the class began to change. I 
 know that I cannot express what ought to be recorded of its different 
 phases, but I find in George Hill's book, that forty-six of the class 
 were married by the time we reached sexennial, and that there were 
 born to these thirty children. Decennial came along and classmates 
 no longer looked quite the same. This fact was brought home to 
 me quite clearly the other day by my boy. I have a boy, twelve, 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 33 
 
 named Frederick, and a girl seven, named Annabel, and the baby is 
 Samuel 
 
 A VOICE: Hurrah for Samuel. 
 
 They had saved up money to buy a phonograph and sundry 
 musical records, and we were sitting at the table when somebody 
 said, "Where is Annabel? She seems to be gone." "Yes, she has 
 been invited out to supper," said her mother, "she has been invited 
 out a good many evenings. She is getting quite popular." "Well," 
 said Frederick, "if she is popular, I guess I must be classical." "Yes, 
 you are, Frederick; you are classical," said his mother. "Well," he 
 said, "then Samuel is rag time." 
 
 So it seems to me as we are going on from mile stone to mile 
 stone there are certainly changes that are coming among us. There 
 are more billiard balls appearing in place of the covered pate. 
 
 Now, a few words with regard to vicennial, and you will be glad 
 that you are through with this ordeal. The children in a little school 
 were asked (I give this for our Class Secretary and others that are 
 in the same condition. They may be worried just the same as the 
 little girl was in the school.) They were asked to a make a picture 
 of what they would like to be when grown up. The teacher came 
 down and looked at the slates and this little girl's slate was empty. 
 She said to the little girl, "Why, wouldn't you like to be something?" 
 "Yes," said the little girl. "Well," she said, "why don't you draw it?" 
 "Why," she said, "I don't know how." The teacher said, "What 
 would you like to be?" And the little girl said, "Why I would like 
 to be married, but I don't know how to draw it." 
 
 Now, we hope that our class secretary and others of this class 
 who still have that before them will know how to draw it. 
 
 We find that the other day our valedictorian found his match. 
 
 And in this case again we find that scripture has been verified. 
 That the first shall be last and the last shall be first. 
 
 Certainly I am very proud to be a member of the Class of '87. 
 It has been said that we make our friends before the age of forty, 
 and acquaintances afterward. I am certainly very happy, and I know 
 you are happy, that we met each other when we did. Most of us 
 have now reached about the age of forty, and I am very proud to call 
 every one of you seated around this table a friend. 
 
 My wife and the rest of the family and friends at home have a 
 very exalted idea of the Class of '87. They have an idea that this 
 is the class that made Yale famous. 
 
 President McKinley falls at the hands of an assassin and a man 
 takes up and conducts the prosecution in such a skilful and diplo- 
 matic manner that they say, "Who is that man Penney?" "Why," 
 I say to them "he was a class mate of mine in college." 
 
34 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 And we see a picture in Harper's Weekly of a young man 
 that has been advanced to some high office in New York City, and 
 we see his name is J. R. Sheffield. "Who is this man?" They say, 
 "Why, a class mate of mine, certainly; the class of 1887. Used to 
 sing on the glee club with him." 
 
 And then we see in the Yale Alumni Weekly the classical fea- 
 tures of our toastmaster. "Who is this Prof. William Lyon Phelps?" 
 "Why, Phelps! I used to play tennis with him in college. A class 
 mate of mine." 
 
 MR. PHELPS: And you used to get licked too. 
 
 We had a debate in our school our high school, and I asked 
 the president of Cornell University to name some educator from 
 Ohio to serve as judge for us, and whom should he name but Prin- 
 cipal Pettee of the University School, Cleveland. He came down 
 and decided against me and my school. 
 
 You see he arose above all feelings of mere favoritism, and he 
 was true to his word and his work, and I may say, to his friends. 
 
 Why, it has been said that the Class of '87 was even responsible 
 for the cold weather we had this Spring. 
 
 You know that scientists great scientists such as Setchell, Cornish 
 and others of that stamp, have told us that we are bound to have 
 warm or cold weather during the year of about the same amount. 
 
 A certain member of our class kept up such a continual Thaw 
 in New York City when we should have had the cold weather that 
 the cold weather came in the spring instead. 
 
 My friends tell me that I am very much like a man that came 
 home from England, and wished to pose as a literary man. "I 
 suppose you knew Thackeray?" "Oh, yes, Thackeray was a personal 
 friend of mine?" "You knew Dickens?" "Oh, yes, went to school 
 with Dickens." "You knew Kipling?" "Used to play golf with Kip- 
 ling." "You knew George Eliot?" "Slept with George Eliot many 
 a time." 
 
 Now, fellows, I have enjoyed very much coming back here and 
 being with you, renewing my youth, renewing my friendship and renew- 
 ing my loyalty to Yale, and in closing I give you this sentiment: 
 
 "You to the left and I to the right, 
 For the ways of men must sever; 
 
 And it well may be for a day or a night, 
 And it well may be forever. 
 
 But whether we meet, or whether we part, 
 For our ways are past our knowing; 
 
 A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart, 
 On the ways that we all are going. 
 
 Here's luck! for we know not where we are going." 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 35 
 
 THE TOASTMASTER : 
 
 We have with us the Governor of Hawaii. Now the 
 Governor of Hawaii is a Yale man, and a contemporary of 
 ours. Mr. Carter, who has been good enough to come in here 
 with us is '88 Sheff. as you may remember, and you have seen 
 what he did in certain lines of activity as an undergraduate. 
 Since that time he has made good in every single line that 
 he has undertaken, and he has undertaken big things. He 
 has taken up what Kipling calls "The white man's burden." 
 And he has carried it. And to-day he has one of the most 
 respected and honored names in the whole American Republic 
 or Empire, or whatever you like to call it. Here again is 
 a man who has arrived, who has done some thing, and it's 
 a fine thing to have a man of that sort with us, and I am 
 going to call for three cheers for Governor Carter, and the 
 Sandwich Islands. 
 
 (Great Applause.) 
 
 A VOICE: I don't know the governor of Hawaii, but I 
 know George Carter, and I propose three times three for 
 George Carter. 
 
 (Cheering.) 
 
 A VOICE : Take off your coat. 
 
 THE SPEAKER: I will. 
 
 GEORGE R. CARTER: 
 
 MR. TOASTMASTER AND GENTLEMEN OF '87: 
 
 Gentlemen, I come from the land of liquid sunshine, where spark- 
 ling surf dashes on the white sands and ozone fills the air the year 
 around I come from Hawaii with a greeting to Yale and to '87. 
 There are thirty-six of us Yale men in the University Club in Hon- 
 olulu. Or were when I left for here. All of us started for New 
 Haven but walking is bad, and I am the only one that has arrived! 
 as far as I know. 
 
 There is nothing that gives me greater pleasure than to meet 
 you all again. You may talk what you like about the greatness of 
 '87. You may extol your virtues, your accomplishments and your 
 achievements, but the greatest thing that '87 has ever done was to 
 make '88. Here is Jennings over here and John Rogers and many 
 of you that I cannot recall by name as I look around the table 
 
36 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 A VOICE: Will you meet us in Heaven, George? 
 
 SPEAKER: No, we may not all get there. 
 
 But I want to pay my tribute to '87, and I am glad of this op- 
 portunity of doing so. It was the '87 boat, you will remember, that 
 '88 bought, and went in the Freshman race with Harvard. If the 
 boat had lasted, we would have won the race, for '87 was our model, 
 our ideal. 
 
 You fellows used that boat so hard that when we got into the 
 race the boat deck gave away, filled up, and we rowed under water. 
 It was our ambition to make, like '87, that boat victorious as it ever 
 had been before. 
 
 Gentlemen, there is nothing that gives me greater pleasure than 
 to come this distance and see your faces again, and I appreciate ex- 
 ceedingly the opportunity. And I want to propose the good health 
 of '87. It needs no comment from me; it is doing its work, and it 
 will continue to do so. (Applause). Good luck to '87. 
 
 THE To ASTM ASTER : 
 
 Sam Knight is going to speak to us in a moment. In 
 our Freshman year there were only three gentlemen in the 
 class : Sam Knight, Jim Sheffield and the other I will not 
 mention. I used to look at Sam Knight and Jim Sheffield 
 with admiration. 
 
 Sam sat in front of me in Freshman year. He was the 
 most dignified man that I ever saw. Fie hasn't changed yet. 
 You never get on to Sam. I haven't got on to him yet. 
 It must hurt like the devil to keep up that bluff for twenty- 
 five years. (Laughter). If I had a bluff like that they would 
 be on to me in about three minutes. 
 
 Sam always had this elegance, this refinement this I 
 never heard him use a slang phrase. I never heard him 
 disport himself in any fresh or foolish manner. He was a 
 good scholar and not a vulgar scholar like John Pomeroy. 
 John Pomeroy's recitations were so good that they were 
 almost indecent. I never heard anything like them. The 
 only time Sam Knight said anything impulsive was when 
 the faculty got his marks mixed up with Doc Knight's. This 
 is the absolute gospel truth. Sam Knight forgot his com- 
 posure and started to raise H with the faculty, and did it. 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 37 
 
 Sam Knight began right. Sam said, "I want to work." 
 "I don't want to work too much." "I want to study well, 
 but not too well." "I want to do everything as it should be 
 done." 
 
 I asked a man once "who was the most perfect gentle- 
 man on the Pacific Coast," and he said, "Sam Knight is, and 
 we haven't found him out yet." He said, "You can't touch 
 him in conversation ; and he is speckless in oratory." In after 
 dinner speeches he doesn't give us anything too long or any- 
 thing too short, always just right. How the deuce do you 
 do it, Sam? I like Sam Knight, not only because he is so 
 handsome but because his face sheds rays of intelligence. 
 
 As a freshman his face beamed with intelligence, his eyes 
 shone with the brilliance of successful maturity ; the language 
 that flowed from his lips was like bits of silver. 
 
 I call upon the great gentleman of '87. Samuel is the 
 real thing. 
 
 Let her go, Samuel. 
 
 SAMUEL KNIGHT: 
 
 MR. TOASTMASTER AND GENTLEMEN I 
 
 I don't know how I can say anything after this most fulsome, 
 and in many respects far from truthful eulogy the toastmaster has 
 been kmd enough to pronounce upon me. It has fairly overwhelmed 
 me, and I trust that a few of those tender sentiments will be found 
 preserved in eptiaphs upon my tombstone, or rather an expurgated 
 edition of them. Yet, gentlemen, I suppose there is no one here 
 who has not something in his heart upon which he could speak 
 which has been suggested by his life in the last twenty years. 
 Perhaps we have not all of us been elected to membership in the 
 Ananias Club, but yet we are here with the same old spirit, the same 
 old capacity to drink that Billy Kent had, and perhaps now has, and 
 the same old capacity to enjoy the good things of life that we had 
 twenty years ago. 
 
 Now, the toastmaster has given me as a toast, "The Still Small 
 Voice." I commenced to feel in me a still small voice a little while 
 ago when the dinner did not come on with any degree of alacrity. 
 I didn't know but that was the still small voice that the toastmaster 
 had reference to. I was afraid for a while that this dinner, from a 
 culinary standpoint wholly, would not come up to the description 
 
38 CLASS OF EIGHTY SEVEN 
 
 of a good dinner which I heard given by an epicurean friend of 
 mine during the course of a trial before a justice of the peace. He 
 had brought suit for two hundred and ninety-nine dollars damages 
 against the Western Union Telegraph Company by reason of the 
 latter's failure to seasonably deliver to him a telegram at Benicia 
 inviting him to come down from there to San Francisco and attend 
 a dinner, which he had every reason to believe would be a good 
 dinner. He alleged as his damage his inability to reach San Fran- 
 cisco in time for the feast. Upon his cross-examination, he was 
 asked by the Telegraph Company's attorney, "Will you be kind 
 enough to tell us what you mean by a good dinner?" He replied, 
 "Sir I regard a good dinner as a dinner where you sit three feet 
 from the table and eat until you touch." But happily our fears on 
 this score speedily vanished. 
 
 Possibly the sentiment of my toast is really an invitation from 
 the toastmaster to make my voice still smaller. However, he has 
 suggested that before I sit down I should devote my still small voice 
 to saying something about the conditions in San Francisco. At first 
 I was a little reluctant to discuss a topic of that kind, but I have 
 had so many inquiries since I have come here about my native burg 
 that perhaps it will not be amiss for me to say something about one 
 or two phases of the existing conditions there. 
 
 We have been having a pretty hard time of it out there, as the 
 newspaper despatches show. We had first a physical upheaval, fol- 
 lowed by a fire, which, God knows, was bad enough; and this has 
 been followed by a still greater moral upheaval. 
 
 We are going through what a great many of the large com- 
 munities and places have gone through in this country. New York, 
 Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and Milwaukee have experienced 
 this municipal graft. I think George Carter in Honolulu found and 
 squelched it in its incipiency two or three years ago, and we had 
 it in Alaska seven years ago. 
 
 The form of graft we find in San Francisco is not particularly 
 novel in character, but in the West it has assumed certain new 
 phases. For some little time, it has been generally known that 
 there existed in San Francisco a great deal of municipal graft, 
 which was prevalent in a number of different departments. This 
 system of graft was cultivated by Mayor Schmitz and by his boss, 
 Abe Ruef, who, I regret to say, is a college man graduated from a 
 Western University, and the voracity of these municipal pirates 
 grew greater and greater. They controlled all of the departments, 
 and Schmitz had been elected and re-elected twice by the voters 
 of San Francisco. Each time there was placed in office with him 
 a greater number of men who were more and more closely identified 
 with him and his method of doing business. The decent elements 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 39 
 
 were largely divided into two classes rather into two parties, the 
 Democratic and Republican; and each of those parties had insisted 
 upon placing a complete ticket in the field, while all of the irrespon- 
 sible elements, pulling together with those from the Tenderloin 
 and others similarly disposed, went solidly for Schmitz. After each 
 election, the greed of these municipal pirates became worse and 
 worse, until the situation became well nigh unendurable. 
 
 This was in the fall of 1904. There were then two public ser- 
 vice corporations whose officers, elected just prior to this time, 
 determined to do what they could to rid the city of grafters and the 
 boss administration. 
 
 Therupon a movement was started with this object in view. 
 A small temporary organization was formed for the purpose it 
 was really not an organization, it was simply a gathering of four 
 men for the purpose of raising a fund sufficient to start a move- 
 ment of this kind and put it on its feet, and to mature and carry 
 out plans whereby the opposition to Schmitz and to that entire 
 crew of grafters could be centralized in one political ticket at the 
 approaching municipal election, instead of two as formerly. 
 
 The plan was carried out, and later a general committee of one 
 hundred business men representative business men of San Francisco 
 was selected for the purpose of giving this movement weight and 
 character, and to control it in the selection of its candidates. Al- 
 though their connection with the campaign was not known to the 
 public, the originators of the movement withdrew from it in order 
 that their direct or indirect association with one or the other of 
 these two public service corporations might not in any possible 
 way prejudice the movement in the eyes of the people, who 
 believe that no moral good can come from anything of a corporate 
 nature. And so this movement was put on its feet. Pursuant 
 to the plans thus formed, one ticket for the support of the decent 
 element was put in the field, and ratified by both the Democratic 
 and the Republican City Conventions. 
 
 The only issue raised was that of graft versus anti-graft. The 
 ticket was eventually headed by a young man who had made an 
 excellent public record, and the indications were that this ticket 
 would succeed. Francis J. Heney, who is now in charge of the pros- 
 ecution of the so-called graft cases, espoused this reform movement 
 and promised, at the huge closing meeting of those supporting the 
 reform ticket that if the voters of San Francisco elected its candi- 
 dates and desired his services as prosecuting officer, he would under- 
 take to put the grafting boss behind the bars of San Quentin, our 
 state prison. What was the result? Schmitz and his entire ticket, 
 composed in many instances of the scum of the city were elected 
 by substantial majorities. His candidate for city and county attor- 
 
40 
 
 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 ney thought so -little of his chances of election that he refused to 
 contribute twenty dollars toward his campaign expenses; and these 
 fellows were all swept into office by the votes of the labor union 
 men, who rather prided themselves on electing a labor union ad- 
 ministration and by the votes of the tenderloin and of similar 
 elements, as well as others who apparently preferred that kind of 
 city officer. Thus the people of San Francisco served notice on the 
 outside world that they preferred to have a wide open town, that 
 everything was to be on the dollar and cent basis; that if you had 
 any business with the municipal departments you were expected to 
 pay tribute for transacting that business, or suffer the consequences. 
 But, while the movement itself did not succeed, it had a certain 
 
 "WINNING ENCOMIUMS FOR OUR SPLENDID STYLE, 
 
 YOUTH AND BEAUTY." 
 
 moral effect in that it started people to thinking over the subject 
 of municipal reform, and it showed that even if this effort was 
 defeated, at least there was still a chance of uniting the honest 
 element in San Francisco. And I am sorry to say that one of the 
 principal reasons why this movement was defeated was that, in- 
 cluded in the majority of the voters of San Francisco were many 
 merchants who thought that more money could be made in a wide 
 open town than if the town were otherwise run. It was a discour- 
 aging situation, but, nevertheless, it was one that I am sorry to say 
 actually existed in San Francisco. 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 41 
 
 It seems as many of the people there didn't seem to care any- 
 thing more about reform than you recollect the drunken bum did 
 in the old campaign of Tilden and Hendricks, where the slogan 
 was "Reform;" and when he read this last word on the party banner 
 across the street, he laboriously spelled it out "R-E-F-O-R-M" Re- 
 form. "Who the hell is he, anyway?" And it did seem as if that 
 was the state San Francisco was in. 
 
 Then it was that Rudolph Spreckels started in to raise a cam- 
 paign fund for the purpose of suppressing the grafters, and many 
 people contributed to it in the belief that it was to be used for the 
 purpose of prosecuting these dishonest officials. 
 
 Now, here is one of the anomalies of the situation. One or two 
 of the officers of these corporations to which I have referred, who 
 were anxious that this reform movement should succeed, have been, 
 nevertheless, themselves indicted by the grand jury for bribery 
 alleged to have been committed since that election, although these 
 dishonest municipal officials and the dishonest boss have virtually 
 been given immunity because they confessed their sins; and they 
 are the men who are in office to-day in the city of San Francisco, 
 while the others have been indicted because they did not confess 
 their sins. Those who are in charge of this graft prosecution have 
 stated that a further reason for giving clemency to the municipal 
 officials is that the prosecutors were moved by motives of expe- 
 diency and public policy. 
 
 That there has been a great deal of extortion, and there has 
 been a great deal of bribery, there is no question; but it is a 
 question as to whether or not the bribery has been committed to 
 the extent claimed. That these city officials have received money 
 at different times, directly or indirectly, for their official action is 
 unquestioned; but it is . a matter of considerable question whether 
 or not the money paid by the various public service concerns, or 
 some of that money, was not paid for immunity from petty persecu- 
 tion at the City Hall, or was not paid for freedom from labor strikes, 
 both of which the boss in San Francisco was able to guarantee by 
 reason of his control over the labor party. However, whether or 
 not these offenses have been committed and to what extent will 
 come out later, if at all, in the result of these prosecutions. The 
 situation, naturally, is a very peculiar one. 
 
 Now, it has been seriously questioned, and it is a matter of 
 perhaps some doubt, whether or not there were other motives for 
 undertaking these criminal prosecutions than the laudable one of 
 ridding the city of the grafters, but I, for one, am slow to criticize 
 a man's motives when he is striving to accomplish good results. That 
 Spreckels, who had raised a fund for prosecuting the grafters, was 
 keenly disappointed over his failure to obtain control of one of the 
 
42 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 corporations to which I have referred, is undoubted; that he was 
 more keenly disappointed over his failure to obtain certain franchises 
 which were obtained by the other one of those corporations to which 
 I have alluded, is also undoubted; and that he entertains an undying 
 hatred for the officers of that company is also undoubted. And 
 yet it is easier to criticize than it is to construct, and I know of no 
 one who is better able to put through a movement of this kind than 
 the men who have taken it up, and I know of no set of men who 
 have clone more efficient work and whose work will redound more 
 to the benefit of th* country in general than the men who are now 
 engaged in the prosecution of these municipal graft cases. 
 
 There is one more word I want to say. I presume when we 
 all entered college, and, again, when we graduated here, we had 
 the feeling in our hearts and we believed that whatever suc- 
 cess we afterwards attained in life, we could attribute to the 
 education and training we obtained here; but I also believe that the 
 last twenty years have demonstrated to us that it was not so much 
 the education, it was not so much the training we received here, 
 as it is the subtle influence of that indefinable something that a man 
 breathes in here the moment he enters freshman year that grows 
 upon him as his college life lengthens, and departs with him as he 
 goes beyond its gates into the outside world, that invaluable pos- 
 session the "Yale spirit" a sort of sub-consciousness, as it were, 
 that speaks in a still small voice, stiffening our backbone when it 
 needs stiffening, and making us realize the necessity of living up to 
 the standard of a Yale man in all that that term implies that stand- 
 ard, that ideal that is happily ever with us, guiding and supporting 
 us throughout the perplexities of life. 
 
 I count that man fortunate, as we are all here fortunate, who, 
 going out into the world, possesses that still small voice that is 
 the accompaniment of a Yale blessing. 
 
 THE TOASTMASTER : 
 
 The next man I am going to call on is Fred Hill. You 
 may not all know it, but Fred Hill to-morrow morning is 
 going to receive from Yale University the honorary degree 
 of M. A. Fred is the first member of '87, if I am not mis- 
 taken, to receive an honorary degree, and to be thus publicly 
 honored by the great university for purely literary work. 
 
 His only claim to literary talent in our time centered 
 in the fact that he invariably sharpened his lead pencils with 
 a razor. That's as far as he ever got in literature. It's a 
 surprise and a delight to many of us that Fred developed 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 
 
 43 
 
 not only a literary reputation, but genuine literary talent. 
 And during those years literature has not only come from 
 him but has returned upon him in rich blessing. So that 
 instead of being the kind of person we thought he was he 
 is not only universally admired, but universally welcome. 
 
 FREDERICK T. HILL: 
 
 MR. TOASTMASTER AND GENTLEMEN: 
 
 The remarks of our inimitable toastmaster remind me most 
 forcibly of Mark Twain's observation, that man is the only animal 
 that can blush, or ii^eds to. However, my experience in the law 
 
 "WE THEN FORMED IN ORDER OF M\RCH." 
 
 has taught me that there are some duties which cannot be delegated; 
 some acts which one cannot perform by attorney and one of them 
 is blushing. For a man must either blush for himself or have others 
 blush for him, and between those alternatives, there is no self-respect- 
 ing choice. 
 
 Now, I am quite sure that you do not want me to make a speech, 
 or expect me to respond at all adequately to your friendly greeting. 
 All I can do is to express my very deep appreciation of the honor 
 that has been conferred upon the Class of '87 in my person, and 
 
44 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 to thank you and all of you whose approval enables me to represent 
 the class in this gracious and gratifying manner. 
 
 And permit me to say right here and now that if the proposed 
 action of the Corporation did not very generally meet with your 
 approval; if I did not feel that I was justified, in some measure 
 rt least, in regarding myself as your candidate and nominee for this 
 honorary degree, then the distinction would have very little value 
 in my eyes and be to me an empty honor, even at the hands of Yale. 
 
 Now, Billy Phelps, in that still, small and husky voice of his, in- 
 timated to me that I would be expected to respond to an informal 
 toast on "Law, Lincoln and Literature." But that long-winded theme 
 is no fit subject for a New Yorker. 
 
 At one time New Yorkers were supposed to live according to 
 the law and the prophets; but of recent years the general public 
 there has been so busy with the profits that it has had very little 
 time to give attention to the law, and successful members of the bar 
 cannot afford to study a subject which is apt to bring them into 
 conflict with the opinion of the courts. 
 
 So, I have nothing to say under the head of law. 
 
 And as for Lincoln. Well, he has been appropriated by Tam- 
 many Hall and Hearst and other founders of the Lincoln Democracy, 
 and surely, that is the last word upon the first American! 
 
 And to "Literature," Billy Phelps should respond himself, for he 
 has done more for it than any other Yale man I know of. Indeed 
 I can, perhaps, best illustrate the work that he is doing in that 
 line by a story told me by Augustus Thomas who said that when 
 he was working on a newspaper out West a grouchy old fellow 
 who never had a pleasant word to say of any of his subordinates 
 was Editor-in-Chief. One morning an enthusiastic young member 
 of his staff, hoping for a word of praise went to him and exclaimed, 
 "I don't know what's the matter with me! I don't seem to bf able 
 to write any more. I think I've lost the knack." And with that 
 he threw down his copy. The editor picked it up, glanced at it and 
 growled. "You write just as well as you ever did, but your taste 
 is improving." 
 
 That's what Billy Phelps is doing for Yale. We may not write 
 any better than we ever did, but our taste is improving. 
 
 THE TOASTMASTER: 
 
 No '87 dinner would be complete without Bill if Crazy 
 Bill didn't come up and say something. I will allow him 
 to speak on any subject, he chooses, except California. Get up, 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 45 
 
 old primitive man ! Get up ! Let's hear what you have got 
 to say, Bill Kent. 
 
 WILLIAM KENT: 
 
 B. Phelps has bestowed asparagus on all of us with a free hand. 
 In the case of others he has blithely twitted on facts. Maybe in 
 introducing me as one demented, he is right. 
 
 I guess it is crazy to travel 3,000 miles, urged by a sentimental 
 desire to be a child again along with you children. 
 
 To save myself from libel suits in the strenuous days of politics 
 I have been willing to be called crazy, and now to escape any more 
 Phelpsims, I again acknowledge the corn. Yes, I am crazy, just as 
 crazy as I want to be. 
 
 Since securing an unexpected certificate of complete enlight- 
 enment twenty years ago, I have seen many places and many men 
 and the more men I have "seen and known and met along," the more 
 confidence I have in human nature and the more respect I have for 
 mankind. 
 
 If the philosophy that has grown out of my experience is right, 
 the trouble is not that men are bad but that they do not put their 
 emphasis in the right place. Our greatest emphasis should be 
 put on our social relations, where we freely acknowledge the rights 
 of the "other fellow." All rational ethics teach this, all experience 
 teaches this, and yet the individual forgets that the "other fellow'" 
 is a part of his life and part of himself. 
 
 We have our ideals which we think are high, but none ar^ high 
 enough unless they are social ideals. If we men blessed with educa- 
 tion and opportunity wish to do good in this world we must prac- 
 tice and preach the social life. We must realize that a man cannot be 
 an honest man and a selfish man, for selfishness means the privation 
 of the "other fellow" of what should be coming to him. He may 
 think he is honest, who, heedless of the "other fellow" claims some- 
 thing as his, but if that claim inpinges on the just claim of the "other 
 fellow" then your conventional individualist is dishonest. 
 
 The social ideals are the only ideals that cm make men really 
 honest. It is this sort of honesty that will make the world better. 
 
 How he may best struggle up hill in this direction .must rest 
 with every man to determine, the direction is right, anyhow. 
 
 Perhaps my own course has been erratic, perhaps even crazy, but 
 I want you to know and to believe that my msanest efforts have 
 been directed toward the development of these same social ideals, 
 and I hope to die in the same demented condition. 
 
46 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 THE TOASTMASTER: 
 
 No dinner would be complete without a speech from a 
 minister. The man I refer to is old Charles Otis Scoville, 
 the kind old village preacher of '87.. Scoville spent four 
 years in college trying to get his degree. He is practically at 
 the head of Trinity Church, which is the most important 
 Episcopal church in the city. And I could tell you a lot 
 about the politics of that church, how he was put in there 
 a good many years ago as assistant curate ; and he is now 
 the only person who has survived. Every man, woman and 
 child in that church loves Scoville. He not only preaches 
 his sermon on Sunday but during the week his life talks. I 
 could tell you, if I had the time, exactly how the people re- 
 gard him. 
 
 CHARLES O. SCOVILLE : 
 
 I am afraid the only thing I can do is to make a bow and sit 
 down. I really didn't recognize myself in the description Phelps 
 has given of me, but I don't know that I want to talk about it. Yes, 
 I have lived here all these years, and I can only say that it gives me 
 great pleasure to stand here and look at you men again. I will say 
 that for myself whatever I have obtained myself that I have obtained 
 by considerable hard, persistent work. It's getting to be after one 
 o'clock and while I have some things I might like to say I believe that 
 every clergyman gets in the way of talking to the congregation that 
 can't talk back and the first thing he knows he gets to preaching, 
 2nd gets to telling the other fellow how to do it. I don't w^nt to 
 preach here to-night or say anything that might seem giving advice. 
 
 I just simply want to express my gratitude and appreciation, and 
 sit down. 
 
 THE TOASTMASTER : 
 
 Full many a flower is born to blush unseen but the Rose 
 of Missouri blushes in the limelight. Rosie is a man who has 
 done things in the Great West a man who counts for some- 
 thing in Kansas City, and one whom all '87 is proud of. 
 Some day he will write his autobiography, "From North 
 College to Kansas City, or How I Raised the Limit." 
 
 Rosie used to. paint Diehl's tonsils; now he paints the 
 town. You may fire, Rosie, when you are ready.

 GRANT I. ROSENZWEIG: 
 
 MR. TOASTMASTER AND FELLOWS: 
 
 In saying the few words that I have to say to you, I hardly 
 feel brazen enough to enter into a long dissertation on the Middle 
 West, from which I come. I don't intend to tell you any exag- 
 gerated stories about the Middle West, although one does come to 
 my mind touching a subject of which you most frequently read in the 
 newspapers in relation to cyclones. I happened very recently in 
 a cigar store and there an old German was standing at the counter 
 using the telephone. He was calling up the owner of the property 
 from whom he rented. "Is this Mr. Watson?" asked the old gentle- 
 man ** ''Well," he continued, "I am Mr. Schmidtz. I want to tell 
 you that last night the vind blew the shutters off." ** "Yes, the 
 shutters." ** 'The vind last night, the vind blew the shutters off." ** 
 "The vind, I -am telling you, it was the vind! ** Tam-it, vind, v-i-n-t, 
 vint!" 
 
 Gentlemen, I came to Yale from what I believed at that time to 
 be the West. I came to Yale, because I though Yale was a big 
 and broad university; ,and after I finished my course at Yale I went 
 out into the Middle West, which we like to call the Golden West 
 because of the golden color of those vast plains, and I found there 
 a country that was also big and broad. I came, to Yale because I 
 expected to find Yale big and broad, and I went further West because 
 I expected to find there a country that was big and broad, and I 
 was not disappointed in either expectation. 
 
 There is one episode in my career at Yale that I look back upon 
 with a good deal of amusement now. For a few days I was a mem- 
 ber of the class of '88. My father had been in a railroad wreck 
 and had been very seriously injured, and this threatened my college 
 career so that I felt obliged to hurry. I had taken my examina- 
 tions and had been admitted to the Class of '88, and at the same 
 time had made application for admission to '87, which application 
 had not yet been passed upon. I didn't know precisely where I 
 stood for the first few days I was in New Haven, and I was absolutely 
 unsophisticated in the ways of New Haven life. I had heard of 
 hazing, but I didn't know exactly what it was. I didn't know what 
 the fellows did. But about the first or second evening I was in 
 New Haven, we were sitting, a crowd of us, when we heard a lot 
 of boys come down the street singing. I did not know what that 
 meant except that it appeared a good-natured crowd and I could see 
 no harm in joining the edge of it, which I did. The crowd went down 
 the street and finally we got into a room, and about the time we 
 had fairly landed in the room somebody closed the door and assumed 
 guard over it, and I was on the inside. It was too late! I was a. 
 
48 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 member of '88 at that time. I was there in ignorance of the condi- 
 tions and proprieties, ignorant even of the fact that it was an '87 
 crowd in command, with a number of '88 men as victims in tow. 
 Ogden was brought forward into the center, and about the time 
 things were getting lively for him I had begun to realize the sit- 
 uation and was shrinking back against the wall scared to death, 
 and edging towards the door with hopes of rushing past the guards- 
 man. But Copley's black and suspicious eyes from his station away 
 up in front, had looked around and seen that I was there and par- 
 alyzed my very motion. Each look from Copley was like a spear 
 thrust. He had it on the point of his tongue a half dozen times 
 to ask who I was and why there. I tremble even yet to think what 
 might have happened if the question had been asked. But the same 
 ignorant chance which led me into it, saved me from a danger, 
 beside which Ogden's fate would doubtless have been trifling, and 
 by this escape from my own future mates I was left stunned with 
 terror, but with whole bones to complete my course with the glorious 
 Class of '87. 
 
 I had another experience on the first day I was in New Haven 
 in relation to the boat race. I had landed here late in the afternoon, 
 and in going out to get my dinner I found a tremendous concourse 
 of people on Chapel Street. I did not know what it was all about, 
 not the faintest idea in the world what was the cause. I went up 
 to a man and said, "Will you kindly tell me what the celebration 
 is about?" And he looked at me without a word of reply. To 
 another I said, "Will you kindly tell me what the excitement is?" With 
 the utmost disdain he said, "Don't you know?" I said, "No, sir, I 
 don't." And without more, he turned his back and walked away. 
 After five or six similar experiences I was finally told "It's the race." 
 But after that information I didn't know whether it was a race that 
 had been run, or was to be run in future, in the public street, or by 
 man or beast. Later in the day when the bombs began to explode, 
 I learned that the race had occurred and that it was a boat race, 
 with triumph to the blue. And I learned several other things after 
 that. But of all the things I learned at Yale, Fellows, I think I 
 can safely say that the best was gained from association with you. 
 I learned from you what I might apply in a larger world, for 
 which I was trying to fit myself at that time. 
 
 I found, without undue flattery to any of you, I found among the 
 fellows in the Class of '87 as good material, as strong minds, as 
 able, as conscientious, as hardworking men as I expected to find, 
 and as I have found in fact in the world at large. 
 
 The training here stood me in good stead there. I guess I am 
 nearly the sole representative of '87 located in that section, outside 
 of Douglass, and he wishes me to express his deepest regret that 
 
VICENNIAL DAY 
 
 49 
 
 he could not be here. It so happens there are very few of our mem- 
 bers located in that section of the country. And that is a tremen- 
 dous country. It is tremendously big, it is tremendously broad. 
 You all know what it means, of course, when you hear of the West. 
 I know a single man out there who cultivates a single ranch, which, 
 if it were spread out in a strip of land a mile wide, would run forty 
 miles straight away. Men who run farms of that magnitude are 
 not always men of education by any manner of means, but gentle- 
 men, the Middle West, whether of the college or non-college brand, 
 is made up of the same type of men that are leading everywhere, 
 the same type of men that were found in '87, the men of rriind and 
 energy. 
 
 I am more than glad that I came on here. I had very grave 
 doubts of my ability to come. The sight of you stirs up good feel- 
 ings and happy memories that we are too prone to miss. I sin- 
 cerely express the hope that we may often be together through many 
 future years. 
 
OCCUPATIONS. 
 
 HE Directory of Living Graduates of Yale Uni- 
 versity for 1908 indicates with each man's name 
 and address his occupation. It is not meant that 
 the man is in every case actually at present fol- 
 lowing the occupation given, but in some cases 
 only that such has been his principal line of work. A close 
 classification of occupations is not attempted, all men being 
 assigned to fourteen general heads. 
 
 The living graduates of '87 are grouped below under the 
 heads employed in the Directory. The occupations of some 
 men do not seem to belong under any of the heads, and it 
 is only by a rather forced classification that they have been 
 placed where they are. Other men do not appear in groups 
 where they might be expected to be, because, though they 
 have distinguished themselves in more than one line, no name 
 is assigned to more than one occupation. Thus, our group 
 of literary men includes neither Fred Hill nor Billy Phelps, 
 because the one appears among the lawyers and the other 
 among the educators. 
 
 However, the Secretary has preferred to adopt the sys- 
 tem of classification as he finds it, except that he has sub- 
 stituted "Architecture" for the compound heading "Art, Arch- 
 itecture and Music," used in the Directory. Two of the four- 
 teen groups, namely, "Government" and "Sciences," have no 
 representatives in '87 ; and four men, Francis, Gardiner, Holly 
 and Stein, have not been assigned to any group.

THE BENNETTO SCHOLARSHIP. 
 
 EAR by year the Bennetto Scholarship, established 
 by the Class in 1902, has been doing a work in 
 helping each year two men one Senior and one 
 Junior who are recognized by the Committee 
 of Award as characterized by sound and strong 
 character, marked ability, and a high standing in the college 
 world, and in the estimation of their classmates. 
 
 In the establishment of this scholarship in memory of 
 John Bennetto, it was the hope of the Class that as time pro- 
 gressed it would come to be recognized among college men 
 as an honor of consequence to be deemed worthy to hold this 
 scholarship. That such is now the case there can be no doubt. 
 
 No man connected with the University has a keener per- 
 ception of the under-graduate public sentiment than he who, 
 as this is written, is about closing his long and useful career 
 as Dean of the Academic Faculty, Professor Henry P. Wright. 
 
 He writes of the Bennetto Scholarship as follows : 
 
 "Great care has been taken to select for this Scholarship 
 men whose position in College and whose aims are like those 
 of John Bennetto, men who have to work their way, who are 
 good if not high scholars ; men of strong character, who are 
 prominent for some kind of activity outside the class-room. 
 The list shows that the appointments have been wisely made. 
 
 When a student is awarded the Scholarship, he receives 
 a copy of the life of John Bennetto, from which he must get 
 an inspiration. Many of the Bennetto scholars have spoken 
 of the effect which this little book has had upon them. 
 
THE BENNETTO SCHOLARSHIP 53 
 
 The Bennetto Scholarship holds a high position among 
 College awards and is valued not only for the aid which is 
 given to a man in limited circumstances, but especially for 
 the honor which is thus conferred on one who is thought by 
 the Faculty worthy to have his name associated with that 
 of John Bennetto." 
 
 The recipients of this fund from the beginning with a brief 
 biographical sketch of each, are as follows : 
 
 1903. Antonio Johnston Waring. High Oration standing; 
 
 Second TenEyck Prize in Junior year ; Chairman of 
 the editorial board of the Yale Literary Magazine ; 
 Secretary of Phi Beta Kappa; member of Chi Delta 
 Theta and Skull and Bones ; spent the first year after 
 graduation as Secretary of the Academical Depart- 
 ment of the Yale University Christian Association ; 
 entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 
 the fall of 1904, where he received the degree of 
 M. D. in 1908. He is at present attached to the Pres- 
 byterian Hospital in New York City. 
 
 1904. Lawrence Mason, son of Edward G. Mason, Yale 1860, 
 
 member of the Yale Corporation ; Philosophical Ora-

THE MEACHAM MEMORIAL. 
 
 T was the spontaneous tribute of his Classmates, 
 to the memory of Franklin Adams Meacham, 
 whose life was given to his country and his pro- 
 fession, which took form in the gift by the Class 
 of '87 to the University of the tablet erected three 
 years ago in the Memorial Vestibule. 
 
 The Committee named at the Quindecennial Reunion of 
 the Class, consisting of Kent, Burke and Chase, had the mat- 
 ter in charge, and obtained from the Corporation the requisite 
 permission, granted only in cases where unusual and con- 
 spicuous service to Nation, profession, religion or learning 
 justifies such honor, to erect the tablet in the rotunda designed 
 for this purpose. 
 
 The necessary funds were promptly subscribed by the 
 Class, and the tablet, a reproduction of which is shown else- 
 where, was designed by and erected under the personal super- 
 vision of one of Meacham's classmates, Walter B. Chambers. 
 
 The character of the tablet is impressive, and the design 
 and wording of the inscription as may be seen from the photo- 
 graph, commend themselves as peculiarly in keeping with the 
 modest self estimate of him whose life and death it com- 
 memorates. 
 
 It may not be out of place to record here what has not 
 previously appeared in a Class Record, that the body of 
 Meacham is buried in the National Cemetery, at Arlington, 
 Virginia, where lie so many of the Nation's defenders in the 
 two latest wars.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. 
 
 WILLIAM MAITLAND ABELL, Died Jan. 7, 1908. 
 
 He was born March 17, 1861, at Pepin, Wis., the son of Ira E. 
 and Mary Ellen (Gurley) Abell. When he was two years old his 
 parents removed to Wabasha, Minn., and two years later took up 
 a quarter section of public land in Waseca County in the same State. 
 Here Abell lived until he was fourteen, when the family moved to 
 North Franklin, Conn. He attended the Willimantic High School, 
 graduated there, and completed his preparation for Yale at the Nor- 
 wich (Conn.) Free Academy. 
 
 Having spent the first year after graduation from college in the 
 Yale Law School, and the second in the law office of Theron A. 
 Read, in Middletown, N. Y., he was admitted to the bar at Brooklyn, 
 N. Y., in December, 1889. For a time he conducted a general agency 
 for a publishing house; but in the autumn of 1890, he opened a law 
 office in Middletown, where he practiced until March, 1893. He 
 then removed his residence to Passaic, N. J., and his business to 
 New York City, becoming Vice-President and counsel of "The As- 
 sociated Physicians and Surgeons," a corporation organized by him 
 to conduct the legal and business side of the medical profession. 
 In 1894 he removed his residence to Mount Vernon, N. Y., and in 
 1896 to New York City. He gave up the practice of his profession 
 in 1898, but continued his studies. In February, 1905, he went to 
 Chicago and was engaged in business there until his health failed. 
 He died in St. Luke's Hospital in that city, January 7, 1908, after 
 an operation for appendicitis. He is buried in Lakeview Cemetery, 
 Bridgeport, Conn. 
 
 He had pursued post-graduate studies extensively and success- 
 fully, obtaining the degree of Master of Laws from New York Uni- 
 versity in 1894, and that of Master of Arts from Yale for work 
 in philosophy in 1898. He was the author of an article on "The 
 New Departure in American Diplomacy," published in Gunton's 
 Magazine for December, 1902. 
 
 He was a member of the First Congregational Church of Leb- 
 anon, Conn. He was a Republican in politics, a Mason of the 
 32d degree and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. 
 
 He was married in 1888 to Caroline A., daughter of Edwin A. 
 and Mary F. (Saxton) Loomis, of Lebanon, Conn. She survives

 him with two sons: Winthrop Saxton, born September 19, 1888, 
 and Frederick Maitland, born December 10, 1891. 
 
 Winthrop Saxton Abell was the first son born to any member 
 of the class, and to him accordingly was awarded the class cup, 
 which was duly bestowed at Triennial, with presentation speech by 
 Kent and response by Abell. He is now in his twenty-first year, 
 and graduated from the Norwich Free Academy in June, 1908. 
 
 CHARLES ADAMS, New York City. 
 
 Was born at Terryville, Conn., May 7, 1864. the son of Joseph 
 H. and Emeline A. (McKee) Adams. His boyhood was spent at 
 Litchfield, Conn., and he prepared for college at the Hartford High 
 School. 
 
 He has been a stock broker in New York since shortly after 
 graduation, formerly as senior member of the firm of Adams, McNeill 
 & Brigham, members of the New York Stock Exchange, but now 
 alone. 
 
 He resides in Lawrence Park, Bronxville, N. Y. In politics 
 he is a Republican, and is a member of the Hamilton, Bernard,

 Dwight Eliot Bowers, son of Hon. Caleb Bailey and Fanny 
 Maria (Cutler) Bowers, was born at Claremont, N. H., March 18th, 
 1806, but the following year the family moved to New Haven where 
 he lived throughout his life and was closely identified with the varied 
 interests of the city until his death. He was prepared for Yale at 
 Hopkins Grammar School. He maintained a good stand throughout 
 his college course and received the Berkeley Prize for Latin Com- 
 position. In the summer of 1886 he made a voyage to the West 
 Indies with his classmate, W. R. H. Trowbridge, in a bark owned 
 by the latter's family, and the summer following graduation, trav- 
 eled in Europe with W. R. H. Trowbridge and Elford P. Trowbridge. 
 Later in life he enjoyed opportunities for further travel, both in 
 his own country and abroad. 
 
 He entered the office of his father, w-ho had a large and well 
 established insurance business, and in April, 1889, they formed the 
 firm of C. B. Bowers & Son, which continued until he was appointed 
 secretary of the New Haven Board of Fire Underwriters on March 
 3, 1893. He resigned from this office in the fall of 1900. He decided 
 to study law and entered the Yale Law School in the fall of 1891. 
 He was graduated in J893, was admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 
 the same year and since then had practiced his profession. 
 
 He was well known politically in New Haven. In 1890 he w r as 
 Democratic candidate for Councilman from the first ward and in 
 1896 was candidate for Town Auditor of New Haven on the Gold. 
 Democratic ticket. By the appointment of the governor in 1899 he 
 became a member of the Connecticut Commission of Public Records, 
 and he prepared a considerable part of its first report, having made 
 careful personal investigation of the records in many towns. He 
 continued to serve until the termination of the Commission in 1903. 
 
 He joined the Connecticut National Guard as a private in the 
 New Haven Grays, Co. F, Second Regiment, in 1891, and during 
 sixteen years of service was many times promoted, resigning shortly 
 before his decease from the office of paymaster of the Second Reg- 
 iment, with the rank of captain, much to the regret of all his com- 
 rades. He was a member of the Veteran Grays, the Officers' Asso- 
 ciation of the Second Regiment, the Connecticut Society of the 
 Sons of the American Revolution, the New Haven Historical So- 
 ciety, and the New England Historic and Genealogical Society. He 
 was also a member of the Graduate and Quinnipiack clubs of New 
 Haven. 
 
 For many years he had taken special interest in matters of 
 local history and as early as the year of the graduation, showed 
 this bent of his mind by becoming librarian and curator of the New 
 Haven Colony Historical Society and continuing in -this position for 
 
96 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SKVEN 
 
 four years. In recognition of his services the Society made him 
 a life member in 1893, and previous to 1901 he held for several years 
 the office of treasurer of the Society. As director and as a member 
 of the library committee he devoted his time most generously to 
 the Society, giving especial attention to the increase and arrange- 
 ment of its library. In commemoration of this interest his family 
 have made a gift of $2,000 to the Society to be known as the Dwight 
 E. Bowers Memorial Fund, the income to be used "for publishing 
 early Connecticut Town and Church Votes and Records and for 
 the purchase of books published in or relating to Connecticut, in- 
 cluding genealogies of families connected with Connecticut history." 
 
 He contributed to the 6th Volume of Papers of the New Haven 
 Colony Historical Society, and for many years had been collecting 
 material for writing a history of the Bowers family. His first 
 paternal ancestor emigrated from England to Scitaute in 1637. He 
 settled first in Plymouth, removing to Cambridge in 1639. Several 
 of his descendants served in the Colonial and Revolutionary 
 wars. It is the intention of his family to have this material put in 
 shape and published at some future date. 
 
 Bowers died very suddenly, being ill only six hours, at his home 
 in New Haven, April 9th, 1907, at the age of forty-one ye^irs. He was 
 unmarried. His mother, a sister, and two brothers, Dr. W. C. Bowers, 
 Yale '74, and Edward A. Bowers, Yale '79, Lecturer in the Yale 
 Forest School, survive him. 
 
 Bowers was of such a quiet retiring nature that only those who 
 knew him well could appreciate his strong force of character and 
 his clear, wise judgment, which he was ever ready to exercise with 
 patience on behalf of others, especially for those who were less 
 endowed with such qualities or had received fewer advantages. His 
 dry humor was keen and inimitable. To the following inscription on 
 the simple old style, slate-stone which marks his resting place among 
 his kin in a little country grave yard: "A devoted son and brother 
 and an antiquarian interested in preserving the history and traditions 
 of Connecticut" may be truly added "and ever a loyal friend."

 JOHN MINOR GILLESPIE, M. D., Died February 20, 1908. 
 
 On February 12, 1866, at Natchez, Mississippi, a son was born 
 to James Metcalf and Frances Denny Gillespie. This son, destined 
 to do them honor, was christened John Minor Gillespie. He was 
 the youngest of three children (the two older dying at an early 
 age), and soon showed signs of an intellect that proved its superior- 
 ity during his short but useful and honorable career. John's father 
 was a "high-stand" graduate of the illustrious class of Yale '53. and 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 113 
 
 to this well trained mind and the refining influence of his noble 
 gracious mother, John owed much of his early scholastic training 
 in preparation for St. Paul's School at Concord, N. H., where under 
 that beloved and able scholar, Dr. Coit, he prepared for Yale during 
 the four years preceding his entrance to the famous Class of Yale 
 '87, in which he was a conspicuous and most beloved member. 
 
 To know John was to love him. Generous to a fault, he never 
 allowed a needy request to go unsatisfied. Modest to a degree, his right 
 hand never had knowledge of the doings of his left. Affectionate 
 and charitable, no unkind word or selfish act ever marred the warm 
 regard with which his fellows esteemed him. His keen intellect and 
 scintillating wit made his companionship a veritable inspiration to 
 the best attainments of mentality. Like many endowed with great 
 mental capacity, he was small of stature and thus the affectionate 
 appellation of "Little John" by which his intimates of '87 knew him, 
 seemed particularly appropriate. How well do we recall the gen- 
 uine smile, the sparkling eye, the hearty hand shake with which 
 "Little John" always welcomed his friends, and how fond he was 
 of the little social gatherings with them. 
 
 Graduating with honor in the Class of Yale '87, having been 
 manager of his Freshman nine and a member of Sophomore, Junior 
 and Senior Societies, he entered the College of Physicians and Sur- 
 geons, New York City, in the fall of that year, from which insti- 
 tution he graduated with the degree of M. D., in 1890. His father 
 being owner of large cotton plantations, on which much of John's 
 early life had been spent, and having no one else to succeed him 
 in the management of his vast rural and commercial interests in 
 the south, promptly upon graduation from medical course, John de- 
 cided to assist him in preparation for continuing his work at such 
 time as the elder Gillespie should lay down the burden. Thus it 
 transpired that Dr. John Gillespie came tc be known not only as 
 one of the ablest physicians of the south, but one of the most skillful 
 cotton planters in Mississippi and Louisiana, as well, so that the Gilles- 
 pie "Long Staple Cotton" became a brand of peerless quality not only 
 at New Orleans but also in the great world markets wherever cotton 
 is generally used. Little Dr. John, with his Napoleonic stature and 
 executive ability; with his kindly disposition and superb medical skill, 
 thus became an influence in the states of Mississippi and Louisiana 
 which is already sadly missed, and many a disease-stricken negro 
 and white man as well, will long for the healing and comforting 
 power of the hand and voice now stilled forever. He had surrounded 
 himself with a most carefully selected library of more than six 
 thousand volumes and there were few subjects, either political or 
 social that he could not discuss in masterful fashion. 
 
114 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 During the past few years Dr. Gillespie had been a member of 
 the firm of Gillespie and Young, Ltd., doing a cotton brokerage 
 business at 818 Union St., New Orleans, La., having formed this 
 partnership with George Young, our George of '87, a most beloved 
 member and these two congenial spirits conducted there a pros- 
 perous business up to the date of John's death, which took place sud- 
 denly at his home plantation, ''Winter Quarters," near Newellton, 
 La., February 20th, 1908. His funeral was held at the home of his 
 cousin, Miss Sessions, Natchez, Miss., on the birthday of our Great 
 Washington, with interment at Mt. Carmel Cemetery near Natchez, 
 where the rest of his family lie amid the luxuriant magnolias, and 
 the fragrant jasmine. 
 
 Those of us who enjoyed the privilege of a visit to that hos- 
 pitable southern home well know the affection and genuine good 
 cheer that made the welcome to the weary traveler so precious; 
 and the memory of John Minor Gillespie, Yale '87, must always be 
 to each and every one of us a milestone in life's journey, at the 
 foot of which we can truthfully say: "Heaven gives us friends, to 
 bless the present scene: Resumes them to prepare us for the next."

 ALBERT GAY HUNT. 
 
 Bern at Scranton, Pa., September 7th, 1863. 
 
 Died at Scranton, Pa., May 23st, 1905. 
 
 Who of us will ever forget dear old "Stuffy" Hunt? If ever 
 there was a more enthusiastic Yale man, or more loyal member 
 of '87, he hasn't shown himself yet. I can see him now, at one of 
 those memorable ball-games, when Yale won out only after a long 
 up-hill light, walking up and down behind the bleachers, a picture 
 of intense suffering, while Yale was behind, and I believe he'd have 
 been willing to lose a finger rather than have Yale lose a cham- 
 pionship. This same spirit of loyalty was characteristic of him 
 through all his relations in life, and his associates couldn't help 
 being drawn toward him whether in college or out. It was ex- 
 emplified in a ''homely" way in that little incident in Freshman year 
 that became the subject of good natured banter among his class- 
 mates but was none the less an unsuspected index of character, 
 when in one of Prof. Northrop's classes in English he was called 
 on to read a composition, and referred in it to "Scranton, my home." 
 So his college was peculiarly "my college," and his class, "my 
 class," because he loved them, and all his fellows couldn't help 
 loving him in return. After graduation he never lost the ardor of his 
 devotion to his Alma Mater, but embraced every opportunity pos- 
 .sible to renew his Yale friendships at the athletic contests and Class 
 and University celebrations. He had the qualities of real manhood 
 and exemplified them all through his life. He was modest, loyal, 
 unselfish and lovable. 
 
 He prepared for college first at the School of the Lackawanna, 
 in Scranton, under Yale instructors, Buell '80 and Seaver '80; and 
 then went to Williston Seminary, Easthampton, in 1882, but was 
 unable to finish the year there on account of ill-health. This ill- 
 health continued to a greater or less extent during Freshman and 
 Sophomore years. After graduation he became associated with the 
 Hunt and Connell Company, the largest wholesale and retail hard- 
 ware company in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and continued in their 
 employ for thirteen years as secretary and head of the purchasing 
 department. In the year 1900 he was made manager of the Tech- 
 nical Supply Company, a subsidiary corporation connected with the 
 well-known International Correspondence Schools of Scranton, and 
 remained in this position until his death. 
 
 He was a prominent figure in social life. He was one of the 
 founders and Secretary and Treasurer until his death of the Country 
 Club of Scranton, the largest and most successful social organiza- 
 tion of the city; was one of the organizers of "The Bachelors," 
 whose annual function, like the Junior Prom, at college, was one 
 
124 CLASS OF EIGHTY-SEVEN 
 
 of the features of the social life of the city; and was also a charter 
 member and officer of the Phi Alpha Society, a select social or- 
 ganization composed of young people. At the time of his death 
 he was Vice-President of the Yale Alumni Association of Scranton, 
 and had he lived would have been its President the following year. 
 He was also a member of the Scranton Club, and of the University 
 and Yale Clubs of New York. He was a faithful and devoted mem- 
 ber of the First Presbyterian Church, and within a week after his 
 graduation from Yale, was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the 
 Missionary Association connected with the Sabbath School, which 
 position, through his fidelity and painstaking zeal, he filled, by 
 unanimous annual re-election, throughout the balance of his life. 
 
 The esteem in which he was held, as well as the appreciation 
 of his sterling qualities as a man, by the community in which he 
 lived, is evidenced by the following extracts from some of the 
 resolutions adopted after his death by various organizations with 
 which he was connected: 
 
 "Painstaking and persevering, thorough and yet tactful, bring- 
 ing to bear an energy and enthusiasm not lessened by unremitting 
 attention to details, his services as Secretary and Treasurer (of 
 the Country Club) were of inestimable value, and to them must 
 be attributed much of the prosperity of the Club. Exhibiting these 
 same qualities and freely giving himself in the larger life of the 
 community, he has left a record rarely equalled in the unselfish 
 result of so short a span of years, whether viewed from the stand- 
 point of activity or sentiment. His death sunders many ties of com- 
 radery, breaks many ties of friendship, but his life has left pleasant 
 and enduring memories, helpful and inspiring influences." 
 
 ****.** 
 
 "He was actively identified with varied interests, social as well 
 as religious, during his life in this city. He was a man of strong 
 character, and positive convictions, yet modest and unassuming in 
 manner. He was loyal to his friends and business associates, and 
 zealous in his devotion to their interest. He never slighted his 
 work, but by his painstaking fidelity in the public and private duties 
 he was called to perform, won unfailing commendation. Faithful- 
 ness and unselfishness were the keynotes of his character." 
 
 In an editorial comment upon his death one of the 'local papers 
 said: "His death is a distinct loss to the social and business life 
 of Scranton. Mr. Hunt possessed great capacity for leadership, 
 which was early recognized in the social circle in which he moved. 
 For many years he was the acknowledged leader in all the social 
 functions of such organizations as the Bachelors and the Country 
 
BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 125 
 
 Club. In business he displayed the same capacity for management 
 that had won him his pre-eminence in society, and he was soon 
 recognized as one the most brilliant young business men in the 
 city. He had an exceedingly promising future before him, and his 
 death is keenly regretted by all who knew him." 
 
 ****** 
 
 Another paper spoke of him as follows: "He was a genial, 
 whole-souled gentleman, gracious and kind to all with whom he came 
 in contact, overflowing with the milk of human kindness, without 
 a thought of guile, or an enemy in the world. He had a genius 
 for detail in social matters which he exercised freely and willingly 
 for others. In business he was most careful and painstaking. * * * 
 Thousands will mourn his early death. The world was better for 
 his living in it." 
 
 To sum up his characteristics, and give the final estimate of 
 his life, I think nothing better or truer can be said than Billy 
 Kent wrote to Bob Maxwell on learning from the latter of his 
 death : 
 
 "He was as square a fellow as they made 'em loyal, kind, un- 
 selfish. He was inherently good and square on all sides. Dear old 
 Stuffy! he didn't need the trimmings to be a man, bless him, he 
 was just plain man, and there was nothing tailor-made about him. 
 There are mighty few in the class for whom every member in the 
 class will have as kindly a memory; for to his big, unselfish heart 
 was added a charm of modesty a charm going ever with those 
 who, while realizing the unimportance of any individual, inherently 
 feel the everlasting value to themselves and to society of character 
 and kindliness." 
 
 Returning from a business trip abroad early in May, '05, he 
 was taken with an obscure but not apparently severe malady, which 
 soon developed alarming symptoms and proved to be tuberculosis 
 of the kidneys, and after an illness lasting two weeks he died on 
 Sunday, the 21st of May. The Class was represented at his funeral 
 by Archibald, Maxwell. Thomas and Hand, who acted as honorary 
 pall-bearers.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 129 
 
 He was a candidate for City Judge of New York, in 1901, and 
 again in 1904, when a severe attack of nephritis made him give up 
 his practice and go to California. In the Ojai Valley near Nordhoff, 
 he lived quietly doing many useful things connected with his pro- 
 fession, and in the library of the Thacher School and in various 
 organizations for the public welfare. 
 
 His sister and his fiancee, Miss D.elafield, of Chicago were with him 
 much of the time until his sudden death from cerebral hemorrhage, 
 Friday evening, June 9th, about eleven o'clock. Drs. Saegar and 
 Pierpont and Dr. Flint, of Santa Barbara, and two trained nurses 
 did all possible to make him comfortable. He was not fully con- 
 scious after the paralytic attack on June 3rd. 
 
 The funeral took place Sunday afternoon, June llth. The Epis- 
 copal service was read and the bearers were all Yale graduates:

 Kent '87, Henry Colton '02, A. B. Mygatt '01, S. 
 
 The interment took place in the Nordhoff Cemetery near the 
 Thacher and Newton lots. 
 
 The great desire of his life seemed just within his reach when the 
 stroke came. He never showed the white feather. He continued 
 to be quiet and calm and thoughtful of others and an inspiration to 
 others. He met the events of his life in such a way that he made 
 a rare and beautiful success out of what some might call a failure. 
 
 Like John Bennetto, he was one of the "gentlemen unafraid,'* 
 who, "as he trod that day to God, so walked he from his birth, 
 
 In simpleness and gentleness and honour and clean mirth."
