PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 The preparation of this record was undertaken as 
 a forlorn hope after the resignation of the appointed 
 committee, but no apology is to be made as forlorn 
 hopes are no novelty to the writer. 
 
 The publication has been delayed owing to other 
 demands on the writer's time, and in the hope that 
 a record of every member of the Class might be 
 included. It now seems impossible to complete the 
 few missing biographies, at least without the 
 employment of a detective agency. 
 
 The actual work of compiling and writing the 
 record has been done by the Yale Class Secretaries 
 Bureau, and the thanks of the Class are due that 
 institution for its valuable aid.

REUNIONS 
 
 The available record of '87 S., as a Class, since 
 graduation is limited to a brief account of its

 able, there may be errors in the following lists of 
 those present at the earlier reunions.

 YORK ANNUAL DINNERS 
 At the suggestion of the reunion committee, annual 
 Class dinners have been held in New York City at 
 the University or Yale clubs, beginning in February, 
 1911. These dinners have been in charge of Wal- 
 ther, Georger and Conner and have been very 
 enjoyable affairs. 
 
 QUARTER CENTENARY REUNION 
 Our Quarter Centenary reunion, arranged by a 
 committee consisting of Scaife (chairman), Conner, 
 Georger, Jenkins and Wood, deserves more than 
 passing mention. A Class fund was raised from 
 which, after paying the reunion expenses, four 
 thousand dollars was contributed to the Yale Alumni 
 Fund. 
 
 A house on Wall street was rented for headquar- 
 ters during Commencement week and the principal 
 events on our program were as follows: 
 
viii REUNIONS 
 
 MONDAY, JUNE 17. , A Class meeting was held 
 at which, on the resignation of Griggs, Jenkins was 
 elected Class secretary ; Scaif e was elected president 
 of the Class and chairman of the next reunion 
 committee. At noon we journeyed in automobiles to 
 Georger's farm in Cheshire, where we were delight- 
 fully entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Georger. After 
 luncheon various sports were indulged in, including 
 a real baseball game. On our return we had din- 
 ner at the Graduates Club House, at Double Beach. 
 
 TUESDAY, JUNE 18. After luncheon at headquar- 
 ters, arrayed in our new uniforms, we posed on 
 Byers Hall steps for the Class picture; then, pre- 
 ceded by the New Britain band, we marched to 
 Yale Field to the Yale-Harvard game. In the even- 
 ing the reunion banquet was served at the Lawn 
 Club, Judge Bullard presiding as toastmaster. 
 President Scaife was presented with a loving cup 
 and some notable speeches were heard. It is worthy 
 of record, as showing either the return of interest 
 in poetry or that the Class learned something besides 
 pure and applied science at Sheff, that at this ban- 
 quet, in addition to four new songs written by mem- 
 bers of the Class, at least three toasts were responded 
 to in original verse. 
 
 The following were present at the Quarter Centen- 
 ary reunion: Adams, Augur, Bullard, Coburn, 
 Conner, Cummings, Day, Durant, Dyer, French,

 *Donald R. Tyler 
 
 Died 1899 
 
 Donald Robertson Tyler was born in Owensboro, Ky., 
 August 18, 1865. He was the son of Charles Richard 
 Alexander Tyler and Matilda Robertson (Anderson) 
 Tyler, who were married March 12, 1857. 
 
 Charles Richard Alexander Tyler (born June 11, 1817, 
 in Prince William County, Va., died March 26, 1880, in 
 Owensboro, Ky.) served in the United States Army in 
 his younger days and was later connected with the Old 
 South Bank of Kentucky. 
 
 Matilda Robertson (Anderson) Tyler (born November 
 11, 1838, in Owensboro, Ky., died April 1, 1904, in 
 Owensboro) was the eldest daughter of James B. and 
 Mary Ann Martin (Robertson) Anderson. James Ander- 
 son's father emigrated from the North of Scotland shortly 
 after the Revolutionary War and his son was born in 
 Lexington, Ky., June 1, 1808. For many years the latter

 was cashier of the Southern Bank of Kentucky. Mrs. 
 Tyler's maternal grandfather, Isaac Robertson, was grad- 
 uated at Princeton in 1795 and was the only son of 
 Donald Robertson, whom Mr. Fiske styled "that excellent 
 Scotch schoolmaster." Her great-grandfather was Com- 
 modore Richard Taylor, who served in the Revolutionary 
 War. 
 
 He prepared at Hopkins Grammar School, New 
 Haven, after having attended schools in Owensboro, 
 Ky., Detroit, Mich., and Lakeville, Conn. He left 
 college at the end of Freshman year. 
 
 He was married January 14, 1891, in Owensboro, 
 Ky., to Miss Virginia Griffith Watkins, daughter of 
 Philip Thompson Watkins, cashier and later presi- 
 dent of the First National Bank of Owensboro, Ky. 
 They had two children: Donald Robertson (Wat- 
 kins), born March 23, 1893, and Nannette Watkins, 
 born November 10, 1894, died November 24, 1900, 
 in Owensboro, Ky. 
 
 After leaving Sheff, Tyler spent some years in 
 France and then returned to Owensboro. In the 
 autumn of 1899 he went to Gunnison, Colo., in 
 search of health and died there on December 20. 
 He was buried in Owensboro, Ky.
