INTRODUCTORY. 
 
 Fellow Members of '83: — Your Secretary herewith presents for 
 your kindly perusal the Decennial History of the Class. Unless one 
 has attempted a similar task he can never know the amount of work, 
 the exasperating delays, the uncalled-for criticisms, the 1 ith hour 
 material seeking entrance, the unlimited patience required in com- 
 piling and issuing such a Record. You will doubtless find mistakes. 
 You are asked to be lenient and kind in your criticism. Some 
 men sent no Photo. Such may be disappointed to find the old 
 ones of '83 reproduced. This however is of course your own fault. 
 When no photo appears it is because your Secretary had none nor 
 could he get any. The photos of the Professors, et al, were arrang- 
 ed by the photo-engraver, hence the rather unusual grouping. They 
 were the only pictures your Secretary had of the Faculty as we 
 knew it. We were unable to secure cuts of college buildings as they 
 were in use. Hence none of the "Scientif Profs" are given. Wherever 
 a face is poorly reproduced, the fault is in the original photograph. 
 We deeply regret that we could not get all the men. Please ad- 
 vise your Secretary at once of inaccuracies, changes in address, 
 marriages, births, etc , and write him occasionally of what you are 
 doing. Finney and Petty have rendered most valuable assistance 
 and we thank them sincerely. 
 
 Yours cordially, in dear old Princeton, 
 
 Edward Huntting Rudd, 
 
 Class Secretary.

INTERROGATIONS. 
 
 1. Your present permanent address? In what place have 
 you resided since graduation? 
 
 2. The business or professional life you have pursued ? Did 
 you catch "success?" How? and how much? 
 
 3. Are you a married man? If so when, where and to whom 
 were you married? If after ten years you are neither mar- 
 ried nor engaged tell the Class ''why this thusness." 
 
 4. If you have children please give name in full, date and 
 place of birth, inherited traits and peculiarities. 
 
 5. Tell us your "politics" and why? Give briefly your views 
 of Protection and Free Trade, Silver, Immigratian or any 
 other great issue you consider to be before the country. Do 
 you believe i:i Prohibition as a "Third Party" movement? For 
 whom did you vote in 1892? What dangers do you think 
 threaten the American people? If any what remedies would 
 you apply? Your religious affiliations? 
 
 6. Have you written a book or paper, tilled any office, or 
 joined any society, either public or private, civil, religious, mil- 
 itary, educational, mercantile or otherwise? Taken auy prize, 
 title or honor, covered yourself with dust or glory? Tell us all 
 about it. 
 
 7. Rehearse your travels, and will -you attend the World's 
 Fair? Also will you attend '83's Decennial Reunion? 
 
 8. Are you a member of some Alumni Club? If none near 
 you will you not help to organize one, and influence new stud- 
 ents for Princeton every year? 
 
 9. Give any item whatever not suggested by the foregoing, 
 which you think will add interest to the Record. Iu case the 
 insertion of each man's picture in "half tone" should make the 
 Record cost from three to five dollars, would you take one? If 
 these are omitted the cost will be under two dollars or even one 
 dollar and fifty cents. 
 
 10. Many of the Class are so modest that they wall not speak 
 of honors they may have received. If you know of any items of 
 interest regarding another Classmate please record them. Of 
 your Classmates of whom do you see the most. 
 
 Note. To the one giving the best and fullest answers a copy of the Record 
 will be given free. To the second best an extra copy will be given. 
 
 You will notice a necessary similaritv to the questions of 1889. With your 
 answers however rests the spicineas and success of the Record.

 Albion, N. Y., Oct. 12th, 1892. 
 Classmates of "83:" 
 
 Princeton's strong, steady, vigorous growth rejoices ns. Over 
 lldO students this year. 205 Freshmen. Why such progress? 
 First Because she deserves it. She stands among the foremost 
 for broad, thorough Chrislain scholarship. Second. Because 
 her Alumni are loyal, wide-awake, and organized. To foster 
 tliis devotion and inspire more enthusiasm is our privilege to- 
 day. Hence let's all go back to "Nassau Hall" in June, '93 and 
 sec and hear for ourselves. When we get there we want a "Dc- 
 eennial Class Record full, complete, the "best yet" to greet us. 
 It will be there if you'll help make it. Otherwise it will not, 
 The Secretary cannot compile it unless yon respond at once to 
 the enclosed questions. He is a busy man, but will gladly do 
 the work, if every one will help, and that promptly. Your delay 
 may seem a slight thing to you, but it may result in no record at 
 the Decennial Reunion. The class asks thatevery man .send his 
 latest taken photograph to the Secretary- If you have none, 
 have one taken eit once. If not too costly each face will be re- 
 produced in smaller size opposite each man's history. This will 
 make a most interesting and valuable Class Record. It may be 
 the last until 1908, our 25th reunion. Commencement- of 1893 
 promises to be a notable one. The new ' Alexander Commence- 
 ment Hall" will be opened. Eminent World's-Fair visitors will 
 be in Princeton. "83's Memorial Law and Political Science Al- 
 cove for the Library" will be given to the College: The "Class 
 Cup" will be awarded, and last but not least; "83 will own the 
 town." Let every man plan to be there. 
 
 The assistance of Messrs. Petty, Finney and others will insure 
 a first class Record. 
 
 Again let me say — Please send the answerr to the questions at 
 once, sui'ely not later than Dec. 1st to 
 Yours Faithfully, 
 
 The Class Sec'y, Albion, N. Y. 
 
 P. S. Note. The last answers were sent in May 16th. No 
 wonder it is difficult to issue a Record on time. 
 
EXTRA NO. 1. 
 
 The Manse, 1st Pres. Church. 
 
 Albion, N. Y., Feb. 14, 1893. 
 Classmates: Here's a Valentine for You. 
 
 It is time I gave vent to a little friendly indignation. Less 
 than one-third of the class have forwarded the necessary data 
 for compiling our Decennial Record. You are one of the delin- 
 quents. 
 
 The class ask me to have it ready for our Reunion, June 12th 
 or 18th. Unless you respond at once, I cannot hope to have it 
 ready. Send your Photo at once. 
 
 The Record will be remarkably low, considering material in 
 it. Probably under $2. It will have cuts of College Buildings, 
 &c, and as many of the class as will send me a Photograph at 
 once. Then we need to know whether you expect to be there 
 to arrange with the catei'er as to the number to provide for. 
 
 Even though yon are indifferent to class and College, interests, 
 brace up, and remember that the others are loyal and enthus- 
 iastic over Princton's noble past, splendid and prophetic pres- 
 ent and wonderous possible future. The omission of your per- 
 sonal record, weakens the whole record. 
 
 You owe a loyalty to your Secretary. He has but limited 
 time to devote to this, for just now he has an immense amount 
 of work. Quit fooling and delay, and answer him immediately, 
 ere you leave your desk. 
 
 Add to your history a discussion of the Tariff vs. Free Trade. 
 The Currency, the Prohibition or Liquor Issues, the dangers 
 threatening our Nation, &c, &c., 
 
 One Word — Please send to Roberts at once SOME gift for the 
 Memorial. 30 men have given $3000. What of the other 80? 
 Much or little, give something. 
 
 Your far-too-good-natured Sec'y, 
 
 N. B. — Please return the copy of these questions, &c, with 
 your reply.

 Agnew, Hulbert.* 
 
 Since telling the story of his exper- 
 ience, Bert has spent a checkered career 
 in his medical profession. His address 
 is No. 1933 Park Ave., Philadelphia, 
 and he tells us his story as follows: 
 "Upon the advice of medical advisers I 
 shall spend the next year or two in 
 Asheville, N. C, hoping to l'ebuild a 
 constitution which has been severely 
 lacked by several attacks of illness. 
 I am a physician and have the usual 
 prospect of an average pill pedlar; 
 am neither engaged nor married, 
 being a firm believer in the old doctrine 
 that when my affinity turns up I will 
 by some means catch on; some of us 
 must remain bachelors and I may be 
 among the number " Theoretically, 
 Agnew is a Presbyterian, a Republican 
 and a high tariff man. After a success- 
 ful competitive examination, Bert was 
 chosen resident physician in the Pres- 
 byterian Hospital. One of the pleas- 
 antest of recollections in meeting class- 
 mates was the five days spent with 
 Garmany at his charming home in Sa- 
 vannah. "If you ever go south," he 
 says, "hunt up Garmany; he will treal 
 you royally." Just here Bert discloses 
 a secret. He says one of the prettiest 
 
 girls in Ohio says she is engaged to 
 Billy Trainer. Happy Billy. On ac- 
 count of ill health Bert has visited 
 nearly every health resort from Maine 
 to California. 
 
 Late reports say that Agnew is very 
 sick with consumption. We trust it is 
 a mistake. 
 
 Agnew, William P.* 
 
 After studying law for a time, Billy 
 discovei*ed that he could not be United 
 Slates Senator from JNew York State 
 for the present, and so went West to 
 enter the railroad business as a prepar- 
 ation ere he should succeed Chauncey 
 M. Depew as president of the N. Y. C. 
 R. R. Co. For the year beginning 
 October, 1887, Billy was in Detroit in 
 the employ of the Michigan Car Com- 
 pany. He was later in the auditor's 
 office at St. Paul, Minn., of the North- 
 ern Pacific R. R. Co. Billy thinks he 
 is still large enough himself not to need 
 a better half which might make a com- 
 plete whole. He is a Republican and 
 Presbyterian, and continues loyal to 
 Princeton and '83. Under date of April 
 19, 1890, Billy writes that he has return- 
 ed to New York City. Address care of 
 Union League Club. 
 
-11— 
 
 Alexander, Henry A. 
 
 Henr}^ is a generous and loyal son of 
 '83 and writes us briefly as follows: 
 Since the last class record was publish- 
 ed I have changed my base of opera- 
 tions and I am now engaged in the 
 practice of law in Paris. Address at 17 
 Rue Scribe. I am in charge of the de- 
 partment of American Law in the 
 largest law office here and I am at pres- 
 ent the acting Counsel to the United 
 States Legation here in the absence of 
 Mr. Henry C. Hall whose place I have 
 taken, he having been obliged to leave 
 Paris for a year on account of ill health. 
 
 I am married and have one child, a 
 girl. Age four years. I am as I have 
 always been aud I hope always will be 
 a Presbyterian aud a Republican. I 
 have had the pleasure during the last 
 summer of seeing the genial face of 
 Ollie Harrimau in this gay capital. 
 Craig Colt too, was a familiar sight to 
 me as he sauntered along the boule- 
 vards conquering all by the majesty of 
 his bearing. Ollie, Craig and 1 had 
 several reunious together at which 
 memories of dear old eighty three were 
 always present. I hope to lie present 
 at the dicennial dinner, but should I 
 not be able to be there in person yet in 
 spirit will I wish God speed to Prince- 
 ton and her sons of eighty-three. Any 
 of the fellows who come to Paris will 
 be sure of a most hearty welcome at 
 the above address. I still speak 
 English without an accent aud do not 
 yet wax my mustache or perfume my 
 hair. Remember the latch string al- 
 ways hangs out to '83. 
 
 Antrim, Isaac E. 
 
 Verily it is good to hear from good 
 natured old Buck Antrim again. His 
 Photo shows that he has grown thin 
 from "Consumption." Hear ye him: 
 
 Dear Rudd: Patience is surely a vir- 
 tue in your ease. I therefore will not 
 try it any longer, but will proceed to 
 answer j'our questions at once. 
 
 1st. My permanent address is Bor- 
 dentown, N. J. Since graduation have 
 resided in Mount Holly where I studied 
 for the law, (not to be ambiguous, I 
 mean the law). Have resided in Bordeu- 
 town since 1888, and will probably re- 
 main here until there is a separation of 
 this ego from the prison house. Surely 
 an exile from Princeton ought to be 
 able to pass his life where Joseph Bona- 
 parte, when exiled from France, found 
 comfort aud enjoyment. Success iu a 
 measure has been mine. You ask how. 
 My answer is that I threw salt upon its 
 tail, which enabled me to catch hold 
 
 ISAAC E. ANTRIM. 
 
 thereof. I am still holding on to the 
 feathers. But as it requires the use of 
 both hands, and as marriage would 
 necessitate the loss of one hand, you 
 will readily understand that lam not 
 married and be able to see the reason 
 of my singularity. Iu politics, I am a 
 democrat, because the principles enun- 
 ciated iu the National Democratic 
 platform of 1892 are in harmony with 
 my views. According to the accepta- 
 
—12— 
 
 tious of t lie terms free trade and pro- 
 tection, I do not wish to be classed as a 
 champion of either. I believe in a 
 tariff for revenue only. Taxation is 
 only justifiable for public purposes, the 
 tariff is a tax: Therefore a tariff im- 
 posed to promote and support private 
 enterprise, interest being limited by 
 the needs of government, is unconstitu- 
 tional and void. Furthermore, 1 be- 
 lieve that the amount necessary to be 
 raised to carry on this government, will 
 furnish all the protection needed to 
 protect our manufacturers from foreign 
 competition. 1 am against the policy 
 of the free coinage of silver. I think 
 immigration is one of the great issues 
 before the country, and one which 
 threatens our institution". Our recent 
 experience with the "mafia" and anar- 
 chists prove that there must be legis- 
 lation made against indiscriminate 
 immigration. I believe that no im- 
 migrant should be admitted into this 
 country until he subscribes to an oath 
 of his intentions of becoming an Am- 
 erican citizen. 1 wouldexclude nations 
 of those countries, whom time has 
 proven incapable of assimilating them- 
 selves to our customs and institutions 
 I do not .believe in prohibition as a 
 party movement. It interferes with oue 
 of the absolute rights of man: personal 
 liberty. Have not written any book 
 or paper except law briefs. Am a 
 member of Mount Moriah Lodge No 
 28 of F. and A. M. and also of Mount 
 Moriah Chapter No. 29 of R. A. M. 
 For two years have been President of 
 the "Kain Perfect Washing Machine 
 Co" a corporation of N. J. capital 
 $50,000. The only traveling I have 
 done was to Chicago in June 1892, when 
 I helped nominate (Trover Cleveland. 
 Saw Laury lliggs in the convention 
 hall. Called to see Jim Harlan but he 
 was out. Think I shall attend the 
 World's Fair in order to avoid 
 
 questioning for life, why 1 did not. 
 
 Am unable to say whether I shall at- 
 tend the decennial reunion. I send you 
 a Photo and should it not break the 
 plate, you may insert it in the record. 
 Thinking that I have written more than 
 you will care to read, and apologizing 
 for my procrastination. 
 
 Amiin, William A. 
 
 Billy continues to grow younger as 
 he gets older, and more frivolous as he 
 settles down in life, as witness the fob 
 fovviug: 
 
 1 & 2. For a year after graduating 
 I accumulated a fortune (of experience) 
 in dealing out book-lore a la Socratic- 
 peripatetic method. Finding that too 
 exciting I settled down to the less ro- 
 mantic and more lucrative business of 
 teaching school. I gave myself the 
 ollice of Major and taught Military 
 Tactics in Kemper School at Boonville, 
 Mo. My company drilled so well that 
 I was thought to be a" sure 'nuff West 
 Pointer." After two years' work my 
 head was resting so uneasy with its 
 crown that I was obliged to abdicate; 
 then too, four years away from Prince- 
 ton seemed long enough, so I trotted 
 back to Princeton in the fall of '87 to 
 eat humble pie in the Theological Sem- 
 inary. The pie they gave me there 
 didn't lie well on my Theological stom- 
 ach and I was forced to resign again 
 (i. e. the pie —ugh!). After graduating 
 from Princeton Seminary I was offered 
 a position here in the Kemper Family 
 School again and accepted and here I 
 am teaching "Orators Manual," Young's 
 "Lessons in Astronomy" and "amo, 
 anias, amamus." 
 
43— 
 
 3 & 4. Unmarried. The only reason 
 I ean imagine why any girl should be 
 unwilling to marry me is a modest 
 shrinking on her part from assuming 
 the tremendous responsibility of help- 
 ing me manage my vast fortune. 
 
 
 WILLIAM A. ANXIN. 
 
 5. I am a thorough-going Republi- 
 can and Protectionist; think Harrison 
 gave the country a splendid adminis- 
 tration and am sorry the country has 
 made the mistake of uot giving him a 
 second term. The root of all dangers 
 threatening our country, whether re- 
 ligious, political or social, is ignorance. 
 The remedy of course is thorough and 
 well rounded education. The light 
 will prevail. 
 
 6. Oh don't! I'm too modest. 
 
 7. May gel as far cast as Chicago 
 this summer but no farther. 
 
 8. I'm a member of the St. Louis 
 Alumni Club. 
 
 Archer, J times J.* 
 
 As usual, Jim is six months behind in 
 his answers, but none the less loyal 
 when they arrive. The brilliant law- 
 
 yers of Bel Air, Md., hud it hard to 
 compete with Jim. He is a Cleveland 
 Democrat, and hence suggests the in- 
 ference that "he belongs to no religious 
 denomination." Has seen Joe Bratton, 
 Colt, Duaue and Peace frequently. Jim 
 tells us what Joe seems too modest to 
 disclose, that he (Joe) is engaged. 
 Plip's numerous engagements are now 
 an old story, but his frequent promo- 
 tions in the P. R. R. Co. show that he 
 is doing good work. Of college days 
 Jim thus soliloquizes: "I often look 
 I iack on the years we spent together at 
 Princeton and believe they were and 
 will cont nue. to be the happiest of my 
 life. Such friendships as we formed 
 then can never be formed again, for 
 the world has changed us all." 
 
 Baker, Thomas A. C* 
 
 Tommy and Frank Conover find so 
 much pleasure in one another's society 
 in their secluded "ranch life" in Rich- 
 land Springs, Texas, that they have 
 not deigned to communicate with the 
 
 THOMAS A. C. BAKER 
 
—14— 
 
 rest of their classmates. We learn that 
 they are doing well and hope they may 
 one day endow a chair of Agriculture 
 
 in Old Nassau. 
 
 Baldwin, Joseph E.* 
 
 Joe metaphorically puts his feet up 
 on his "Reunion Balcony," lights a 
 cigarette, and puffs away as follows: 
 
 My dear Rudd: I hope you will par- 
 don ray not answering your previous 
 notice, at the same time there is so 
 little to say that my not doing so would 
 have but little effect upou the record. 
 
 1. My present address is 332 Palisade 
 Ave. Yonkers and have also resided in 
 Palatka, Fla. See Sexennial Record. 
 
 2. Law and have no fault to find. 
 
 3. Married Dec. 30, '85 to Mary E. 
 Jewell at Lambertville, N. J. 
 
 4. Have had the misfortune to lose 
 1 wo children. We now have one child, 
 a girl, Marjorie Jewell B , born Feb. 
 27, '92 at Palatka, Fla, 
 
 5 Republican. 
 
 (i. Nothing but County or Probate 
 Judge in Putnaw Co , Fla. for four 
 years. 
 
 7. Expect to attend both Fair and 
 Reunion. 
 
 8. Intend to join the New York 
 Alumni Club. 
 
 fi. I will take a copy of the record 
 containing pictures 
 
 Will have a photo taken and send it. 
 
 I hope, if you ever find yourself in 
 the neighborhood of Yonkers. that you 
 will bring yourself, your family, if you 
 are so fortunate as to have one, and 
 your grip, to my home and stay as long 
 as you can. We have lots of welcome 
 and lots of room. Every now and then 
 < 'rouse drops in. 
 
 Bedle, Bennington R.* 
 
 Benny is quietly getting rich at the 
 Stock Exchange in Wall street, New 
 York City, and his New York address is 
 3 Broad St. He can be found at his old 
 
 home, No. 473 Jersey Avenue, Jersey 
 City. His answers to the Record ques- 
 tions are very brief, and we find him 
 a Presbyterian, Cleveland Democrat, a 
 High License and Moderate Protection 
 man. His story is more fully told in 
 the last record. 
 
 Bonbright, Chas.. H.* 
 
 No word has been received from 
 Bonny so we imagine he is well at Des 
 Moines, Iowa. 
 
 Borgmeyer, Chas. L. 
 
 The Hon. C. L. has blossomed out as 
 a full blown editor and now Jersey 
 Justice is discussed by him in "The 
 New Jersey Law Journal." On the 
 letter head we iiud that it is published 
 by "Honeyman & Co. at Somerville, N. 
 J.," so it must be easy to secure mater- 
 ial for his journal by making a "honey 7 - 
 
 CHAS. L. BORGMEYER. 
 
 man" on some similar paper. He has 
 also attained eminence in Newark as a 
 member of the law firm of A. Q. Keas- 
 
—15— 
 
 bey & Sons, No. 802 Broad Street. Of 
 his marriage the Triennial tells. His 
 one daughter is Miss Henrietta de Clerq 
 Borgmeyer and at their home among 
 the "red mud suburbs of Rahway" 
 they welcome old friends. "Borgy, " 
 with others, organized a corporation in 
 June, 1890, for the purpose of transact- 
 ing all kinds of legitimate business. 
 Capital stock $50,000,000.00; paid up 
 $15,000.00. "Borgy" and "Lord John" 
 aim high. Let us hope they will hit 
 the mark. 
 
 Later. Borgy sends his photo with 
 characteristic modesty and wants that 
 inserted but fails to write any message 
 to the class. 
 
 Bratton, Joseph Yancy.* 
 
 Joe has beeu one of the most success- 
 ful of '83 men. In addition to the full 
 report in the Triennial Record, he adds 
 a few facts which we append in the or- 
 der given; "Four years in Baltimore, 
 Md., two years in Elliott City, Md. My 
 address is, Baltimore, Md. care B. & 
 O. R. R. Cau report some progress. 
 Single. Too poor to be married. [We 
 hear later Joe is married. See class mar- 
 riages.] Belong to no church. Presbyte- 
 rian affinities. Democrat. Am not a 
 Protectionist, but favor a High License, 
 tariff for revenue only, a follower first, 
 last, and all the time, of Cleveland for 
 whom I voted in 1884 and 1888. Have 
 written no book or paper, only items 
 and editorials incidental to my profes- 
 sion. Have attained no honor. For a 
 year and a half was editor of the Elli- 
 cott City Times, a weekly newspaper; 
 was city editor of the Baltimore Morn- 
 ing Herald for a few months ami at 
 different times have been telegraph 
 editor, state editor and assistant city 
 editor of the Baltimore Sun, the last 
 named position furnishing me my live- 
 lihood for some time. Have sent 
 three men to Princeton who have taken 
 high positions. A fourth failed to en- 
 ter." 
 
 Brodhead, Rev. Claude Ross. 
 
 After all, the modest retiring men of 
 our class, were among those of the 
 truest worth. — Claude is quietly moving 
 towards the front ranks in the ministry, 
 and the only way for him to do this 
 completely is by "doubling up." — 
 Claude is so happy because of his ap- 
 proaching marriage in June, that we 
 
 HEV. CLAUDE ROSS BROADHEAD. 
 
 almost fear we shall not see him at the 
 re-union. He suggests that Billy Au- 
 nin is going to do the same soon. He 
 writes briefly thus from Eagleville. Pa. 
 My Dear Ed: I have hardly any- 
 thing of interest to tell you for the 
 Record. I am about twenty miles 
 from Philadelphia, in one of the fairest 
 sections of the Keystone State, and the 
 minister of one of the kindest and old- 
 est congregations in our denomination. 
 I catch sight of Dickinson now and 
 theu, who, by the way, drives a splendid 
 horse, and does not look a day older 
 than when he entered College; neither 
 does Flip Duane, who is as cheery as 
 ever. I must look aged, since Jim Har 
 
—16— 
 
 la n a year or two ago asked nie wheth- 
 er I ever saw Brodhead. You fellows 
 Avho entered College so young are to be 
 envied! I expect soon to cover myself 
 with lots of "glory*" So does Annin! 
 But 'tis too soon to talk about it. 
 
 My best wishes for every member of 
 the Class. Is the football team waiting 
 for '83's sons to wallop Yale? It looks 
 like it. 
 
 Bryant, Henry G. 
 
 Bryant has been making fame for him- 
 self at an enviable i*ate, and has already 
 gained renown in the Scientific world 
 and in the lecture field, as the result of 
 his remarkable, discoveries in Labrador. 
 If in Examination hall of old he had 
 covered as much paper and had done 
 it as well as he does his class letter, he 
 would have put Pere Landis and Preach 
 Hawes and some of the rest of us down 
 a peg. We abbreviate as follows: In 
 the now almost completed decade since 
 graduation, I have lived right along in 
 Philadelphia where my address is 2013 
 Walnut St. As stated in last record, I 
 studied law, graduated from the Law 
 School of the University of Pennsylvan- 
 ia and was admitted to practice in July 
 1886. Soon after I became secretary 
 of the Edison Electric Light Co., of this 
 city, which position I resigned after 
 about a year and a half's service. I 
 have never engaged actively in the pur- 
 suit of "success" in the legal profession 
 but have done considerable legal work 
 in connection with private business. 
 
 Being a Pennsylvanian, born and 
 bred and surrounded all my life with 
 the evidences of material prosperity in 
 the community — a result of protection 
 to home industries— I have been a Re- 
 publican all my life, although I did'nt 
 vote for Quay's man Delamater in the 
 last election for Governor. As a result 
 of my profound and statesmanlike re- 
 flections on the subject, I think the un- 
 controlled and increasing immigration 
 of ignorant foreigners, which is per- 
 
 mitted by our laws — is one of the very 
 imminent dangers which threaten the 
 American people. 
 
 I "train" with the Presbyterians as 
 heretofore and it is a satisfaction to 
 know that the sturdy, Scotch — Irish 
 element of American life represented 
 by this faith will always present a bul- 
 work against the dangerous socialistic, 
 foreign element above refered to . 
 
 The only "paper" I have written 
 which has been given any conspicious 
 publicity is an article entitled "The 
 Grand Falls of Labrador" which ap- 
 peared in the September issue of the 
 Century Magazine for 1892. This gives 
 a popular account of an expedition 
 which I conducted into the interior of 
 Labrador in the summer of 1891. I 
 have the material at hand for making 
 a more detailed account, embodying 
 some of the scientific results of the trip, 
 and preadventure in the future, this 
 may see the light of day. I must con- 
 fess, a number of trips to Europe and 
 to the untravelled parts of the Rocky 
 Mountains, together with the more 
 ambitious undertaking in Labrador last 
 year, have infused into me something 
 of that traveller's fever of unrest about 
 which we have all heard. And so 
 when I was asked to accompany the re- 
 cent Arctic Expedition for the relief of 
 Lieut. Perry, and was offered the posi- 
 tion of second in command of the party, 
 I could not refuse such an opportunity 
 to visit so interesting a part of the 
 world. The enterprise attracted much 
 attention from the newspapers at the 
 time, and you are doubtless acquainted 
 with the outcome of the expedition, 
 which returned to Philadelphia on June 
 23d last, after accomplishing the main 
 objects had in view. 
 
 To give categorical answers to some 
 of your other questions, let me say:

 Expect to 'take in" the Columbian 
 Fair at Chicago and D. V. will show up 
 at Princeton in June next. I generally 
 attend the annual dinner of the Phila- 
 delphia Alumni Association. Last year 
 Ed. lloyle happened to be in town at 
 the time of the reunion and being call- 
 ed on give a 20 minutes response in his 
 inimitable style. It was the best speech 
 of the evening, and I felt proud of my 
 classmate. 
 
 Butler, \V. W. * 
 
 This beloved member of our Class 
 died sudd< uly at the Arlington Hold 
 Augusta, Ga. Nov. 29, 1891. He was a 
 
 Sou of U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from 
 S. C. Hen had gained prominence in 
 So. Carolina from his law practice, and 
 his integrity and ability recognized. 
 We insert bis sexennial letter. 
 
 He then wrote: "Have resided in 
 Washington, D. C; Liverpool, England; 
 
 Bordeaux, France; and Edgefield C. H., 
 S. C, which is likely to be my perman- 
 ent address. Law student. Private 
 secretary to a senator and general 
 "bum" in Washington. Consular clerk 
 in the U. S. consular service at Liver- 
 pool. Attache an cousulat des Etats- 
 Unis at Bordeaux. Practising attorney 
 at Edgefield. Demur to clauses 'can 
 you report progress?' and 'if not, 
 wherefore?' on ground of modesty, un- 
 certainty and the distinct flavor of the 
 nut that grows in a burr. Single and 
 no entangling alliances. Same old 
 reasons. Deny each and every allega- 
 gation contained in question number 
 four. Episcopalian. Jeffersonian 
 Democrat. Personally, politically con- 
 sistently opposed to any and all puerile 
 attempts to legislate with the view of 
 regulating a man's habits. Believe in 
 the higher law. Ergo, opposed to Pro- 
 hibition. I am opposed to high pro- 
 tection ; in favor of tariff reform, to- 
 wards which the Mills bill was a good 
 step in the right direction. Cannot see

 few favored individuals who are piling 
 up their millions at the expense of 
 thousands and thousands of our citi- 
 zens. It is unjust and iniquitous. 
 Gruver Cleveland. Corresponded for a 
 newspaper while abroad. Have writ- 
 ten a pamphlet on "U. S. Consular Ser- 
 vice.' Have figured as an officer in 
 several military companies, being at 
 present captain of a crack cavalry com- 
 pany, which I presume Soc Murdoch 
 and some of my Yankee friends would 
 construe as being 'Midnight Raiders' 
 or a 'Ki: Kiux Klan.' Being at present 
 a farmer on a small scale am covered 
 more or less with dust When I reap 
 the harvest, will invest myself with the 
 glory." How significant those last 
 words as related to his peaceful death. 
 
 Carman, Prof. Albert P. 
 
 We all felt sure that Bert would 
 make a place of honor and usefulness 
 for himself, and it is a cause of no 
 little pride to the class to have two of 
 its members on the. Faculty of "Leland 
 Stanford University," Fred Perrine be- 
 ing the other member: altho' Fred has 
 only very recently gone there. Car- 
 man has frequently during these ten 
 years given evidence of his loyalty to 
 and interest in the class, and his letter 
 breathes that same spirit. He tells his 
 story thus: 
 
 My dear Rudd: Is it possible that 
 ten years have gone since Jim Russell 
 was around for answers to the "Nassau 
 Herald' ' questions? Your list for the 
 Decennial Record received on Monday 
 was a very tangible reminder of the 
 vay time has been slipping away. I 
 have? unfortunately mislaid the ques- 
 tions and fear they are permanently 
 lust but I will answer as I remember 
 them. 
 
 My present address is Palo Alto, ('al. 
 Since graduation I have lived four 
 years in Princeton as Fellow Instruct- 
 or and Tutor: two years in Berlin, Ger- 
 many as a student: three years at Pur- 
 
 I'KOF. ALBKKT P. CARMAN. 
 
 due University, LaFayette, Indiana, as 
 Professor of Physics and applied Elec- 
 tricity: and siuee last Sept. here at 
 Palo Alto. I have held to my line of 
 physics, with specialties in applied 
 electricity and mathmaticU physics. 
 I have a good position, a chance to 
 work and learn in 1113 7 line, with a rea- 
 sonable salary. Of course a Professor's 
 life is not one making any great din in 
 the world, nor winning stacks of gold, 
 I am still single aud have no announce- 
 ments to make. 
 
 In politics I am not on record this 
 vtiir nor four years ago, on account of 
 losing my vote by change of residence 
 But I am a "moderate-tariff Republican 
 if such a combination is possible. I 
 have been separated from Princeton 
 men, but I still keep my interest and 
 have been the means of sending one or 
 two advanced students to Prof. Brack- 
 ets I expect to be East in 1893 and if 
 I can reach Princeton in time will be 
 at the reunion. Send me a Record 
 with pictures and bill.

 Carter, E. B. 
 
 E. B. CARTER. 
 
 Iii true characteristic brevity and 
 pure English, Carter announces the 
 truism that ' Cleveland is the Stuff." 
 He. takes this view as an unmarried 
 man living in Henderson, Md. at "the 
 same old place" and is said to be "the 
 same old Carter." He wants 100 cents 
 on a dollars and says the government 
 should not store uncoined silver. He 
 wants better "quality" in immigration. 
 Thinks "Prohibition docs not work at 
 election times." He sees no dangers 
 threatening the American people. Says 
 he seldom sees an 'S3 man and so loves 
 to hear from them, that he has not 
 given a cent yet to the memorial com., 
 lest I hey stop sending him their delight- 
 ful letters. Of business transactions 
 with '83 he says — "Got a letter a few 
 days ago from Riggs — haven't seen him 
 for years though, — offering me a bar- 
 gain in a manufacturing establishment 
 he bought out live or six years ago. I 
 suppose he had just come to the con- 
 clusion he would never have time to 
 
 start it up himself." As Carter always 
 turns up at Reunions we shall probably 
 gaze at him as together we look over 
 the Record. 
 
 Colt, Craig C. * 
 
 Craig also seems to be a gentleman of 
 elegant leisure. He graduated from 
 Columbia Law School in '87 but has 
 since spent much time traveling. He 
 speaks with pride of being a life mem- 
 ber of the American Bible Soceity 
 [think of this in Craig]. He is a mem- 
 of the Westminster Kennel CJub, Uni- 
 versity, Tuxedo and Larchmont Yacht 
 Ciuhs, and can be addressed at Baby- 
 lon, Long Island. 
 
 Conover, Francis S., Jr.* 
 
 Like Tommy Baker, Frank is so busy 
 caring for the "lambs of his nock" and 
 his pasture-al work is such that he finds 
 no time to reply. The Conover Ranch 
 was in 1888, the Elm Ranch, Richland 
 Springs, Texas. 
 
 Crouse, Otto. 
 
 "Salaams" to our Class President. 
 
 For real earnest, telling, useful ser- 
 vice rendered to '83 and the work she 
 is trying to do for Princeton, few men 
 have excelled Crouse and Roberts. "In 
 season and out of season" they have 
 labored with little else than glory as 
 reward. If the "Memorial Gift" brings 
 any credit to the class it will be be- 
 cause these men with Bryant and 
 Hodge have labored so intelligently 
 and persistently. Of his whereabouts 
 and work Otto speaks as follows: 
 
 "My dear Rudd: I must apologize 
 for not answering the interrogatives 
 before but my history makes so slowly 
 that the short story of the last four 
 years will easily lit into your record at 
 any place still open. Then, too, I have 
 wondered if I couldn't make something 
 out of nothing, and in some manner 
 wrestle for first or second prize offered

 by you. That certainly ought to till 
 the cup sufficiently to satisfy the most 
 grasping. 
 
 Since the last Record was made my 
 career lias been a quiet, uneventful 
 one. I have labored continually at the 
 law, and while 1 , should hesitate to say 
 that that labor has been my only labor 
 of love, it certainly is the only one that 
 has given any appreciable .results. 
 And ye! they are very slight. Just 
 across the river, John Keller and I 
 sit and gaze at Hodge, Osborn and 
 Petty, the legal meteors, and the mag- 
 nitude of our humility is only equalled 
 by the fees we never get. My politics 
 are of the -Jersey type— democratic— 
 but I have never yet schooled myself 
 to follow the baud wagon at all times. 
 I reserve the personal and purely dem- 
 ocratic prerogative of scratching when 
 national and state questions are not in- 
 volved. The only presidential candi- 
 date I ever voted for was Grover Cleve- 
 land, and to his ideas on public ques- 
 tions, as expressed by his state papers, 
 I heartily subscribe. 
 
 You ask if I believe in Prohibition as 
 a Third Party movement? 1 have no 
 objection to it for third parties — so long 
 as it doesn't hind me. 
 
 In my travels 1 have gone as far as 
 Philadelphia to see Roberts and Bryant 
 and to New York where Hodge ' 'tends 
 bar.' My travels take me over to 
 Princeton club meetings and the an- 
 nual alumni dinner, where '83 men are 
 usually as scarce as the honors we have 
 been waiting for. The only office I 
 have lilled has been my law office, and 
 that has been tilled with great satisfac- 
 tion and few clients I have written 
 no book, taken no prizes, married no 
 wives, won do glory and hence I am 
 not engaged. 1 have frequently been 
 mentioned for office but as yet the 
 office hasn't sot ghl the man. It re- 
 calls the .soothing balm 'Honorable 
 Mention,' rather pleasant but a trifle 
 empty. I hope to see fifty of '83's sons 
 at the decennial, and hope too, to 
 cross the paths of a few of them at the 
 World's Fair.'' 
 
 Davis, Samuel M. 
 
 Sam is a lawyer in Minneapolis, 
 Minn. He answers as follows: 
 
 1. '-For three years after graduation 
 resided in York, Penn. and taught in 
 the York Collegiate Institute. 
 
 2. Taught the first four years after 
 graduation. Since 1888. have been en- 
 gaged in the practice of the law. Was 
 admitted to practice April 13, 1888, by 
 Supreme Court of Minnesota. Have 
 been fairly successful as this world 
 goes. 
 
 3. Was married June 24, 1891 at 
 Minneapolis, Minn, to Fiances B, Wag- 
 ner. 
 
 5. Republican. Did some stumping 
 for Harrison in 1888. Presbyterian. 
 (The remaining part of this question 
 involves so much that I refrain from 
 enteriug upon it.)

 7. Expect to attend the World's Fair 
 and hope to be at Decennial Reunion of 
 '83. 
 
 8. Member of Alumni Association of 
 the New Northwest. Have in some 
 measure been instrumental through 
 this organization in sending some 
 students to Princeton. I think this 
 alumni organization has done good 
 
 work in sending students to "Old 
 Nassau." 
 
 10. Rev. A. K. Harsha— "Pard" is 
 quite successful as pastor of Highland 
 Park Presbyterian Church of this city. 
 I sec Harsha and T. Ross Haden more 
 frequently that any of the others." 
 
 Day, Clinton L. 
 
 We think the class had better take a 
 day off to meander through this letter. 
 Doubtless Duck Earner and Jim Rus- 
 sell will cogitate that he scarcely need 
 have mentioned that he gave very little 
 thought to podtics. 
 
 Dear Rudd: Your circular is at 
 hand anil most of your questions will 
 Lie easily answered. 
 
 Questions 1, 2, 3 & 4 are auswered 
 fully in Sexennial record. There is ab- 
 solutely no change to note. Address 
 Care R. G-. Dun & Co., Cleveland. 
 
 5. I give very little thought to poli- 
 tics. Always vote the Republican tick- 
 et except in local elections, when I 
 have been known to "scratch" a bad 
 Republican and substitute a good Dem- 
 ocrat. 1 think the present quiet cam- 
 paign is largely due to the fact that 
 the two great parties are so nearly in 
 agreement on the subjects at issue that 
 there is little to quarrel over. The 
 characters of the Presidential candi- 
 dates having been stliucieutly lied 
 about during the previous campaigns I 
 believe that the best element the coun- 
 try, morally and mentally, is in the Re- 
 publican party; that the prohibition 
 party is composed of moral men who 
 are mentally unsound; that Prohibition 
 votes come mostly from former Re- 
 publicans and therefore weaken the 
 latter and strengthen the Democratic 
 party; that as far as the liquor question 
 enters into politics at all, the Demo- 
 cratic party is the whiskey party; that 
 every Prohibition vote cast is therefore 
 a vote for liquor and not agtunst it; 
 finally in consequence of the foregoing, 
 that every Prohibitionist is a deluded 
 
-22- 
 
 fanatic. Local option is a good thing 
 as shown by results in certain localities 
 but as a third party movement in 
 national politics Prohibition always has 
 been and always will be worse than a 
 dismal failure. It is a boomerang in 
 the hands of the inexperienced, working 
 injury to the cause it strives to advance. 
 The greatest dangers threatening this 
 country it seems to me are those aris- 
 ing from the questions of Capital and 
 Labor and from Trusts aud other com- 
 binations which are tending more and 
 more towards the total extermination 
 of the small dealers and manufactures. 
 I don't pretend to suggest any remedy. 
 Perhaps the Almighty with the aid of 
 Henry George, Edw. Bellamy aud 
 others will sometime find a solution of 
 the problem. The recent election is as 
 much of a surprise to me as to every- 
 one else but I am still a good Republi- 
 can and Protectionist. I think the re- 
 sult is due mainly to the laboring class- 
 es, who have been misled by theorists 
 to attribute trusts and combinations of 
 capitalists to the high tariff. It has 
 been called a "thinking campaign" but 
 a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. 
 Ignorant men thinking of their wrongs 
 are too apt to accept any argument 
 which promises a change without fol- 
 lowing it to its legitimate conclusion to 
 ascertain whether the change will be 
 beneficial. If we could only have Free 
 Trade for a few years (aud that is what 
 nine-tenths of the Democratic howlers 
 really want) how gladly would the 
 laboring men rush to the Republican 
 party and clamor for a McKinley Tariff. 
 I am a Presbyterian of the Briggs- 
 Sprecher, etc. school, which as I in- 
 terpret it, means— with a decided 
 leaning toward Universalism.

 Jim Harlan and Bob Shanklin being a 
 part of my last trip. Having sect: the 
 "White City" in embryo shall make 
 great efforts to attend the Fair. Ex- 
 pect to attend our Reunion. 
 
 8. Our Alumni Association of the 
 Western Reserve has "petered out," 
 died naturally without a gasp. No! I 
 will not help organize one but will do 
 anything else I can to help Old Nassau. 
 
 9. I will gladly give $5.00 for a good 
 record containing a reasonable number 
 of photos of the boys. 
 
 10. I have received no honors and 
 can say nothing of interest to the class. 
 Prescott is the only classmate I see 
 often. He has given up working for 
 honor aud is now running a printing 
 establishment of his own, with what 
 success I leave him to tell. I will state 
 that J. C. Life is at Traer, Iowa in the 
 drug business. 
 
Dickinson, Warren M.* 
 
 Dick writes, "I have nothing to add 
 to the sexennial report. I am living 
 about the same, practicing law with 
 my father at this place; unmarried and 
 as far as before from being so. I have 
 not travelled any worth mentioning, 
 taking a few weeks' summer trip fish- 
 ing and gunning. I do not expect to 
 attend the World's Fair but expect to 
 be at the decennial reunion. My pres- 
 ent address is Norristown, Pa., where 
 I have resided ever since graduation. 
 Have not set the world afire and am 
 not likely to. 
 
 I see Carter occasionally, he being 
 the same old Carter as of yore. Broad- 
 head has a church a couple of miles 
 above us and is very well. Claude al- 
 ways was a sincere fellow in religious 
 matters and will some day make his 
 mark in the religious world. 
 
 I am a Democrat and voted for 
 Grover. I am a hard money advocate, 
 no Free Silver in my politics, i believe 
 in pi'otection for revenue only. I guess 
 that answer will make a line in the 
 Record and will put my name in any- 
 how. 
 
 Duane, Franklin.* 
 
 Flip still remains in the employ of 
 the Penna. R. R. and has been promot- 
 ed almost over the whole State of 
 Pennsylvania, until now he is stationed 
 at Tacouy on ^the New York division. 
 At present he is in charge, along that 
 section, of the constriction of the elect- 
 ro-pneumatic-automatic signals. Look 
 out they don't go off Flip, and give you 
 a Corbettic-paralytic. He further an- 
 swers briefly that he is unmarried, and 
 sees no likelihood of ever being mar- 
 ried. Is an Episcopalian, a Democrat, 
 and a firm believer in Grover Cleve- 
 land, but doesn't take any Prohibition 
 in his. Says he has no time to write 
 an essay on Free Trade or Protection, 
 and avers if he had, it wouldn't amount 
 to a hill of beans." As this is the first 
 
 time in the entire ten years that we 
 have received a response from Flip, 
 we feel that congratulations are in or- 
 der. 
 
 Dunning, Charles. 
 
 CHARLES DUNNING. 
 
 [f co-sine Charlie makes as shoi't 
 work of his patients as he did of our 
 questions, . he must put them very 
 quickly out of their misery; e. g. "Un- 
 married; no children that I know of; 
 Republican; don't believe in Prohi- 
 bition, as I live in a Prohibition state 
 and see its utter failure so far as pro- 
 hibiting drinking is concerned; will at- 
 tend the World's Fair but not Decen- 
 nial; the only classmate I have seen for 
 four years was Bob Yard last summer 
 in New York." Charlie is with the

 KEV. GEORGE EDWARDS. 
 
 and in these ten years past has learned 
 how to endure hardness as a good 
 soldier. To him as to others of the 
 class the saddest possible domestic af- 
 fliction has also come. But amidst all 
 his busy caves and trials he finds time 
 to write as follows: 
 
 1. My address is Lewistown, Mon- 
 tana. Since leaviug Princeton I have 
 been a citizen of the "Bunch Grass 
 State," four years at White Sulphur 
 Springs, and more recently at Lewis- 
 town. 
 
 2. By the people here I am familiar- 
 ly called "Parson" and "Elder" and 
 sometimes stigmatized as a "Rustler." 
 I have organized churches at Phil- 
 brook, Lewistown and Armells besides 
 being the pioneer minister of our 
 church at White Sulphur Springs. A 
 part of my ministerial work has been 
 to secure places of worship for the con- 
 gregations at the Springs and Lewis- 
 town, besides the erection of a comfor- 
 table manse at each place. 
 
 3. I married Miss Mary A. Cattin of 
 
 White Sulphur Springs, April 4, 1889, 
 but she and her child were taken from 
 me the following year. My younger 
 sister Anna, a teacher of music by pro- 
 fession, has made Montaua her home 
 so as to be with me in the work. 
 
 5. Voted for Harrison and would do 
 it again. Hurrah for Montana! "She 
 is all right." 
 
 7. Last fall on a trip East I renew- 
 ed my acquaintance with Bonbright 
 and Pard Harsha. 
 
 This is a big county, about the size 
 of New Jersey, but if I should relate 
 my travels through its length and 
 breadth this summer to secure funds 
 for a new church, it would fill an al- 
 cove at Princeton. 
 
 8. I don't know of a Princeton man 
 within a hundred miles. Last summer 
 I thought I had struck a bonanza 
 when I made the acquaintance of an 
 Eastern candidate for Princeton honors 
 (in athletics) who had passed his en- 
 trance examination with but two con- 
 ditions. 
 
 Fell, Daniel A. 
 
 Fell realizes his negligence as fol- 
 lows: 
 
 Your last circular letter received and 
 to be frank with j T ou, it did make me 
 feel a little ashamed of myself, taking 
 into consideration all that Princeton 
 and the class of '83 did for me. In- 
 closed find answers to questions. I 
 have by this mail sent one of my photo- 
 graphs and also mailed oue of my 
 boy's to Crouse. You can count on 
 my taking one of the Class Histories.

 Pennsylvania. 
 
 2. Law. 
 
 3. Yes. Oct. 10th, 1888, Wilkes 
 Barre. Frances L. Bertels. 
 
 4. Harold Bertels Fell, born Aug. 
 13th, 1889, Wilkes Barre, Pa. 
 
 5. Republican. Because I believe 
 in the constitutional right to make 
 necessary internal improvements, to 
 
—25— 
 
 provide a national currency and to 
 develop and protect the industries of 
 the country. 
 
 I am opposed to "Prohibition" be- 
 cause it has been demonstrated as a 
 matter of experience that it is a fail- 
 ure, but I believe in temperance. 
 
 The greatest danger that menaces 
 our republican form of government at 
 the preseut time is the present immi- 
 gration. 
 
 I was born a Presbyterian and have 
 never had any cause to go back on my 
 religious training.

 Fair and Decennial Reunion.

 WILLIAM P. FIELD. 
 
 The lettei'-heading of Billy's com- 
 mercial note tells a pretty full story of 
 what he can do as a civil engineer, but 
 the body of his letter tells precious 
 little as to what he has done during this 
 
 decade past of personal interest to '83. 
 We transcribe these brief statements: 
 Present address 976 Broad St. Newark, 
 N. J. Married Jan., 12, 1887, to Miss 
 Josephine Down ng Smith. Republi- 
 can. As to travels, see "Baedeker's 
 Guides" of England, France, Germany, 
 Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Denmark, 
 Belgium and Holland. 
 
 Finney, Rev. Wm. P. 
 
 Never did '83 call, but Jai always 
 responded and his patient untiring in- 
 terest in this Record and his gi'eat help 
 to the Secretary together with Petty's 
 aid in making this issue possible, is 
 duly and deeply appreciated and we 
 are sure will be by the class. Every- 
 body was fond of Finney and we re- 
 joice in the strong steady work -he 
 is doing. He writes thus of himself: 
 
 "It gives me pleasure once more to 
 read your "Call to arms" in the '83 
 circular letter just received. Such stir- 
 ring commanding words ought to re- 
 ceive a ready and loyal response from 
 all the fellows. Your sentences strike 
 me as models of brevity, and if your 
 sermons are fashioned after the same 
 pattern, it is not strange that your 
 people so adore you 
 
 1." Well, ten years out of old Prince- 
 ton finds me still lingering within fifty 
 miles of those "Classic Shades." My 
 address however does not remain the 
 same as at last report. For after serv- 
 ing the people of my first charge for 
 six years, I accepted a call to the First 
 Presbyterian church at Moorestown, 
 N. J., near Philadelphia. 
 
 2. Here I am endeavoring to dis- 
 charge the duties of a village dominie; 
 but with, what success I have kept my 
 light from being hidden under a bushel 
 you may judge from the following. 
 Not long since I received a call from 
 one of my fellow-townsmen, who en- 
 quired very solicitously as to whether 
 I ever attended church. Upon my re- 
 plying that I was not altogether a 
 
-26- 
 
 stranger to that institution, I was fur- 
 ther exhorted on the subject, and urged 
 to become a l'egnlar attendant. 
 
 3. As to the domestic side of life, I 
 still mourn the wife of my youth, to 
 whom I was married, at Bel Air, Md., 
 on the 5th of October, 1887. Her maid- 
 en name was Pamela R. Richardson. 
 She died at New Egypt, N. J., June 31, 
 1889. 
 
 4. I find great comfort, though in the 
 little boy she left me, William Parker 
 Finney, Jr. born Jan. 20, 1889. He 
 seems already to have taken to writing 
 
 " : m 
 
 REV. WM. P. FINNEY. 
 
 sermons, as a duck takes to water, and 
 has enough stored away new to cover 
 the bottom of a barrel. And from his 
 very birth he has given at least this 
 promise of success in his predestined 
 calling, in that he has frequently been 
 aide to hold his audience until far into 
 the night. He has also won a Prince- 
 ton trophy in the shape of the 
 handsome "Class Cup" of my Seminary 
 Class. This he took over the heads of 
 thirteen girls who antedated him in 
 birth. Altogether he is the finest boy 
 
 by all odds that '83 has yet turned out. 
 
 5. My politics? Well, just what 
 every native born Mississippiau's would 
 naturally be, though upon the great 
 and overtoweriug subjects of the liquor 
 habit and the saloon, I am an out and 
 out Prohibitionist in principle, and am 
 quite willing and intend to put my 
 theories into practical votes along that 
 line. The voice of the people iu the 
 last national election expressed my sen- 
 timents exactly on the tariff issue, 
 though a change of residence prevented 
 me from casting a vote. As to the 
 silver problem, the main trouble, as I 
 see it from my standpoint, is simply 
 this: The Government has too much 
 of that commodity and I have too little. 
 A redistribution therefore I think would 
 be beneficial to us both. In regard to 
 immigration, I am not aide to decide 
 in which particular our Nation has 
 committed the greater sin — whether in 
 its flagrant breach of honor iu the 
 Chinese Exclusion Act or whether in 
 going to the opposite extreme in regard 
 to the undesirable hordes of Europe. 
 A fair and happy medium in both cases 
 is I think the true course to pursue. 
 
 6. I have used up many bottles of 
 ink, and many reams of paper in the 
 ten years gone, but as it was chiefly on 
 sermons, I need not further "tell about 
 it." 
 
 7. I have wandered about pretty ex- 
 tensively over the country, having been 
 in every one of the forty-four states ex- 
 cept seven. Am counting on visiting 
 the World's Fair, and will surely cover 
 seat 28 when '83's spotter begins to get 
 in his work at the Decennial. 
 
 8. My name is not on the roll of any 
 Alumni Club, but so far as I have had 
 opportunity I have never failed to boom 
 Princeton. 
 
 9. Of course I must have a Record at 
 any price, but will expect the usual 
 "ten per cent discount to clergymen." 
 The pictures of the fellows ought to add 
 considerably to the interest of the book. 
 
—27— 
 
 and if you could only have the "queens 
 of '83" there too, it would be very fine. 
 10. I append a couple of clippings in 
 regard to two of the fellows, which 
 may possioly be of some use to you. 
 Last summer out in Tacoma I ran 
 across Dominie Welsh to my great sur- 
 prise, and with a good wife and law 
 practice to his credit, he hopes for fur- 
 ther prosperity in that enchanting em- 
 pire of the Pacific northwest. In Port- 
 laud I saw Lucy Lewis and enjoyed the 
 hospitality of his palatial home. 
 Though in College days he was the 
 youngest, "the little Benjamin" of our 
 flock, yet jnow he surely must be the 
 grayest. He still disclaims even the 
 remotest thought of matrimony. 
 Whether his gray hairs are the result of 
 his anxiety to keep free from cupid's 
 toils I am unable to say. 
 
 Fisher, D. K. Este.* 
 
 Este still continues to lay down the 
 law in the city of diamond back terra- 
 pins and pretty girls aud reports 
 "pretty good success." And so might 
 one of the aforesaid girls, Miss Sally 
 Jones Milligan McLane, who on Nov. 
 26, 1890 led our dandy Este a willing 
 captive to Hymen's altar, and ever 
 since has been laying down the law to 
 him. On Feb. 2, 1892 another little 
 Este arrived, D. K. Este, Jr. of whom 
 the fond parent makes affidavit that he 
 wears "a ruddy complexion, and red 
 hair; and is very bright and of happy 
 disposition." With these matters of 
 domestic interest recorded, Este pro- 
 ceeds to show up things political and 
 economic as follows: "I believe in a 
 tariff for revenue, and think raw ma- 
 terial and painting and statuary should 
 be admitted free. Am strongly oppos- 
 ed to Free Silver, aud think gold the 
 true standard of value. Think immi- 
 gration should be restricted, but have 
 formed no definite opinion to what ex- 
 tent. Believe in an Americau America. 
 Expect to vote Democratic ticket out 
 
 and out. Think Quarantine should be 
 in the hands of the Federal Govern- 
 ment, aud that the immigration of the 
 pauper population of Europe is a con- 
 stant menace to the physical and men- 
 tal health of the nation, to say nothing 
 of the moral. These things demand at- 
 tention from Congress, and at once. 
 Do not think'that the principles upon 
 which our government and institutions 
 are founded require that our doors 
 should be thrown wide open to all 
 comers. Think extremes of wealth on 
 the one hand and labor combinations, 
 strikes and socialism on the other 
 threaten the liberty of the nation." 
 
 In conclusion Este states briefly that 
 he is an Episcopalian in religion, has 
 visited Europe twice but scarcely ever 
 sees any of his classmates, though he 
 sees Riggs frequently. Rather rough 
 on Riggs, don't you think? 
 
 Fleming, George R. 
 
 From the. bright cheery tone of Flem- 
 ings letter we can picture him anew as 
 he used to cross the campus, whistling 
 or singing and always jolly and kind 
 heai'ted in his courteous treatment of 
 everyone. It seems thoroughly pleas- 
 ant to hear from you again George, 
 and all will be glad to shake your hand 
 in June '93. Fleming strikes a good 
 high tenor note and this is*the tenor of 
 his song. 
 
 My present permanent address is 111 
 West State St., Harrisburg, Dauphin 
 County, Penn., the banner Republican 
 state of the Union, This has been and 
 is likely to be for all time to come my 
 address, unless sold out by the sheriff 
 as I am about to rebuild and enlarge 
 my present earthly dwelling place. 
 Harrisburg has been my home since 
 birth. My occupation is, Attorney at 
 Law -General Real Estate, and any 
 thing that has the slightest tendancy 
 toward reaching filthy lucre. (of 
 course this excepts poker, faro bank, 
 horse racing etc.) Time forbids my

 computing in dollars and cents the 
 success met with since leaving college 
 — so far however I have been able to 
 pay my Grocer, Butcher, etc. Married? 
 why of course — all good, sensible, hon- 
 est, steady, sober and industrious 
 members of eighty three have taken 
 unto themselves a better half — I have 
 been no exception, so Oct. 9, 1890 
 I led to the altar Miss Eliza MeCor- 
 mick Robinson of Allegany, Pa., sister 
 of Bob Robinson, eighty-one, a true, 
 loyal daughter of Princeton, this of 
 course was one term of marriage; and 
 as the story books tell w*, as a result of 
 the aforesaid marriage, on the 30th day 
 of July, 1891 Anna Margaritte Fleming 
 was ushered into this world, one of the 
 finest, inheriting all the excellent, none 
 of the "bad" traits, of her father, and 
 bright enough, were it not for her sex, 
 to be one of Princeton's most worthy 
 and honored sons. 
 
 In Politics: — National, Republican; 
 State, Sort of Luke Warm Republican, 
 kind of Mugwumpish. Protectionist. 
 
 Why? Of course because I am a Penn- 
 sylvanian. No, not by a large major- 
 ity, do I vote for Prohibition. A Harri- 
 son man and P'*esbyterian. Written 
 considerable, but cannot give my 
 writings away as some day they may 
 he my family's fortune. 
 
 Expect to attend the World's Fair 
 and will undoubtedly be at -s :5's De- 
 cennial, "deo voleutc, and the creek 
 don't freeze over." Shouting and active 
 member of The Central Pennsylvania 
 Alumni Association. 
 
 Would pay twice the sum named for 
 a photo in "half tone" of the members 
 of '83. 
 
 Have not seen a member of the class 
 since graduation, so being "alone in 
 my glory here at Harrisburg" cannot 
 mention any particular classmate with 
 whom I am particularly intimate. 
 
 Hoping the Record will be a great 
 success and congratulations on "Ruddy 
 Jr.," 1 am as ever, yours in '83. 
 
 Flint, James Powers. *\ 
 
 JAMES POWERS FLINT. 
 
 After spending most of his graduate 
 
—29- 
 
 life in the wild and woolly (especially 
 woolly) west, Jim has come back to civ- 
 ilization again, and for the present has 
 his headquaiters in the Commerce 
 Building, Chicago. He sends ns a 
 mighty interesting and thoughtful let- 
 ter, and while waqching his flock by 
 night lias evidently not been letting the 
 man in the moon throw any star dust in 
 his eyes. He continues to report him- 
 self engaged as in sexennial Record but 
 gives no inkling as to when the round- 
 up will occur, and he will assume the 
 joke. But he can tell his story best in 
 his own words: I have resided since 
 graduation in Minnesota, Montana, and ■ 
 California. Occupation, wool-grower. 
 If you measure success from a stand- 
 point of accumulation and a hard won 
 experience can honestly answer, "yes."' 
 How V By possessing capital doing the 
 work of two men, never thinking of 
 personal comfort and having as a result 
 probably the grayest head of the class. 
 As to politics I would naturally be a 
 strong Republican Protectionist from 
 the very nature of my occupation. I 
 am not a Republican or a Protectionist 
 not simply because I happen to be a 
 wool-grower but from the firm convic- 
 tion that the principles of the party tem- 
 porarily deposed from power stand for 
 the greatest good of the greatest num- 
 ber. The political Waterloo of last fall 
 was simply a warning from the intelli- 
 gence of the nation that the carnades re- 
 sulting from a long lease of power must 
 be cleared away. To appreciate the full 
 wisdom of a protective policy, particu- 
 larly where the benefits received are 
 indirect requires not only a thorough 
 mastering of the subject so as to behold 
 things in their true light, but a certain 
 amount of patriotism as well, The pur- 
 chasing of our rustling millions is a fix- 
 ed quantity if ninety per cent of our 
 wants can be supplied at home by a 
 proper restriction of commodities great- 
 er prosperity must ensure than a small- 
 er per centage of trade with the "bars 
 
 down." The hue and cry about the 
 "Markets of the world" is all bosh. The 
 bank clearings of the "land of the free 
 and the home of the brave" exceed by 
 fifteen billions of dollars the combined 
 clearings of the balance of the world. 
 The reciprocity ideas of our late great 
 leader in conjunction with a wise pro- 
 tective tariff promise greater financial 
 prosperty than any free trade scheme 
 that holds out the alluring (?) prospect 
 of a fierce competition with the paid 
 and fed hirelings of the co tinent. 
 This subject can well be the study of a 
 lifetime. Hence broaching it in a brief 
 letter can only prove an exasperation to 
 one who is full of it. As for silver I be- 
 lieve in a bis-metallic standard, and the 
 financial education of the commercial 
 world until a second Brussels Confer- 
 ence shall be as much of a success as 
 the last was a failure. Restriction of 
 immigration is another necessity of the 
 hour. 
 
 I can only wonder that the great lab- 
 or organizations of the country, depend- 
 ent so vitally for success in every strike 
 upon the law of supply and demand, 
 have not ere this demanded the enact- 
 ment of such a law. Such restriction in 
 conjunction with a happy policy of ar- 
 bitration would forever prevent the re- 
 currence of another Homestead horror. 
 Prohibition as a Third Party movement 
 I don't consider wise or feasible. The 
 privileges of the franchise should not be 
 vested in considering but one of the 
 many important questions now before 
 the people. Prohibition in itself is a 
 vital necessity, but I am afraid will nev- 
 er be attained through present methods. 
 My vote was cast for our late President. 
 
 The main danger that threatens the 
 American people in my opinion is the 
 disintegration that sooner or later will 
 come from a low standard of public and 
 private morality. A false sentiment 
 abounds among certain educated class- 
 es that politics is a cess-pool from which 
 to be in proper form "they must keep 
 
—30— 
 
 their skirts well drawn." I can not 
 help but lament the words of our possi- 
 bly over intellectual President, who 
 standing as the head of our Alma Mater 
 voices the sentiment that philosophy 
 and science took his attention to such a 
 degree that he enjoyed the privileges of 
 American citizenship for twenty years 
 without seeking the responsibilities that 
 attend it. 
 
 If men of supposed breadth and learn- 
 ing set such an example for rising youth 
 to imitate the trend of the body must 
 be surely downward. The only remedy 
 to apply is proper education of the re- 
 sponsibilities that fall to every man who 
 desires to enjoy life, liberty and the pur- 
 suit of happiness. At present I have uo 
 religious affiliations. Have written 
 nothing but checks as "Cooney" Peace 
 would say. As to offices I have attained 
 nothing startling. Am the President of 
 the Sun River Sheep Co. and have held 
 a County Commissionership. My trav- 
 els have been confined to the western 
 end of our country and one trip around 
 the boundary, all of which is too prosaic 
 to dwell upon. With Chicago as head 
 quarters I shall pi'obably attend the 
 "World's fair." As to being with you 
 in June I shall hope for that happi- 
 ness." 
 
 The Secretary regrets that Jim's lat- 
 est photo came too late for insertion. 
 Above is the class one. 
 
 Garmany, Howard H.* 
 
 He tells us he has little of interest to 
 add to his triennial report. If Jim 
 Flint were only in college now he could 
 make love to Gumdrop's brother, who 
 is in '!)3. He sends his cordial regards 
 to the class. His address remains the 
 same in Savannah, 116 Duffy St.

 2. Teaching, preaching, magazine 
 editor, general utility man. Can't say 
 about -success. 
 
 3. Yes. Nothing to add to record 
 already given.

 wish. 
 
 5. Mugwump from the word go. 
 (You know "Jimmie" once said of me 
 "He's inclined to be iudepindeut, but 
 he's not so bad after all.") Am a free

 prohibitioner, Cleveland voter, opti- 
 mistic Presbyterian. 
 
 6. Yes. Have wi - ittcn "Korea from 
 its capital, with a chapter on missions" 
 a booklet of some 330 pages, which will 
 be out (I hope) is a few days (this is 
 Oct. 17th.) Have a department in the 
 Magazine of Christian Literature, am a 
 reviewer on the staff of that magazine 
 and on the "Presbyterian and Reformed 
 Review." Occasionally with a maga- 
 zine article on some theological sub- 
 ject. Keep to athletics, i. e. Lacrosse — 
 was a "Champion of the U. S." in 1891, 
 hold a medal to prove it. Other than 
 this have neither glory nor (alas) 
 "dust" to show. I helped contribute 
 the Bibliography to the new Cyclo- 
 paedia of missions." 
 
 7. The class knows already of my 
 travels in the Orient. My book will 
 give further information on that point.

 Hope to attend reunion, though I may 
 go to Germany for a few month's study. 
 
 Green, Orlando* 
 
 "We learn from a brother of Green 
 the sad intelligence that he died of 
 pneumonia at Jackson, Miss., Feb. 20, 
 1888. When he was taken away he was 
 a Professor in Capital Commercial Col- 
 lege at Jackson. He is said to have 
 been engaged at the time of his death. 
 One of the good things he did for Jack- 
 son was to compile a directory of the 
 city. He was an ardent Princetonian."

 the Old North cow exploit, and of other 
 memories so dear to the heart of '83, 
 greets us with the pathetic statement 
 "No glory in mine! I am every day 
 practicing physician, struggling as most 
 young doctors do. Honors come slowly 
 to us, as do the ducats which are owed 
 
 UP." 
 
 1 le gives his address as 1318. Fifteenth 
 St , Philadelphia, votes the Republican 
 end of his Australian kangaroo ballot, 
 believes in the historic episcopate, is 
 engaged and hopes to be married be- 
 fore, 1908, our twenty fifth reunion. 
 
 He is Surgeon in three of the Phila. 
 hospital,-, medical Examiner to the Mut- 
 ual Life Ins Co. Assist. Medical Inspec- 
 tor of Phila. Board of Health,— almost 
 glory enough all at oue time, one would 
 think. 
 
 But perhaps it is more "gory" than 
 glory. He sees a good deal of the Phila. 
 members of the class, and belongs to 
 the Phila. Alumni Association. 
 
 Walter is trying to allure "the halt, 
 the lame, and the blind" to deposit their 
 shekels with him. He says he is still 
 single and unengaged and likely to re- 
 main "statuo quo." [See Trans, to Ho- 
 race, pp. 4, 11, 44] He is assistant 
 surgeon of the Philadelphia Fire De- 
 partment, surgeon to Philadelphia Out 
 Department, assistant demonstrator of 
 surgery at the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania Medical College, and surgical 
 registrar in Pennsylvania Hospital. "I 
 see few of the fellows but learn that 
 Billy Parke is making ducats and a 
 good name for himself as Physician at 
 Grirard College. I met Neil Royle on 
 the street April, 'Nit, and he told me he 
 was 'doing light comedy' and 'bringing 
 down the. house nightly for a small sti- 
 pend weekly." Waller will be glad to 
 welcome any '83 man at No. 214 South

 The class should be proud that they

 have "one real live artist." We all 
 remember Harry's clever work on the 
 "Tiger," but that would be child's play 
 now. After leaving college, Hall spent 
 three years iu the Paris schools of draw- 
 ing and painting and in the study of 
 the old masters as well as in travelling. 
 In 1889 he was to be found at No. 26 
 Bank street, New York, where he was 
 eugaged iu teaching and illustrating. 
 His silence ou the matters of politics 
 and matrimony is in keeping with the 
 rest of his profession. No recent word

 Harlan, James S. 
 
 •'Jim" has been one of the most suc- 
 cessful of 'S3, being a member of the firm 
 Gregory, Booth and Harlan, the firm of 
 which Chief Justice Fuller was a mem- 
 ber. Every one of his old classmates 
 will be glad to hear of "Jim's" pro- 
 gress and to learn that those manly 
 qualities which made him a favorite at 
 college, plus hard work and brains, have 
 won for him success in his profession. 
 He replies as follows: 
 
 1. Room 1203 Title & Trust Build- 
 ing, Chicago. Since December, 188-1 
 I have lived continuously in this city. 
 
 2. I have been practicing law. Suc- 
 cess is of course a relative term. I 
 have progressed and ought to be con- 
 tent. 
 
 3. I am not married. 
 
 4. No children. 
 
 5. I have taken but little interest in 
 polities. I was opposed to the McKin- 
 Ley bill. Briefly my view of the ques- 
 tion is that if the country needs a par- 
 ticular industry, the duty should be 
 high enough to be an incentive to capi- 
 tal and labor to engage in it, but not 
 so high as to confer upon capital an 
 advantage that amounts to a special 
 privilege, of which labor and the con- 
 
 sumer get no share. Theoretically 1 
 am a free trader, but practically that 
 seems neither possible nor wise in this 
 country. I am down on Free Silver as 
 much as auyone can be who does not 
 know very much, if anything, about' 
 the merits ot that discusssion. I sup- 
 pose that all of us agree that immigra- 
 tion should be regulated so as to ex- 
 clude undesirable individuals or races. 
 I voted for Harrison in 1892. I do not 
 see that the Ainerican people are in 
 any particular danger. Perhaps the 
 corruption that arises out of our pres- 
 ent municipal government is as serious 
 an evil as any that confronts us. 
 
 6. No. 
 
 7. I shall of course try to get to our 
 Decennial Reunion. 
 
 8. Belong to the Chicago Alumni 
 Association. 
 
 9. I shall take a copy of the Record 
 in whatever form it is issued. I have 
 had no photograph taken for years, but 
 shall try to have one ready for the 
 Record. [We regret that none came, 
 and we were asked not to insert his 
 83 class photo.] 
 
 10. See more of Shanklin and Taber 
 than any one else. Both are doing 
 well. The latter has just finished a 
 valuable essay on a legal question of 
 great local interest.

 In order that '83 may understand how 
 a banker performs his arduous duties 
 and obtain the views of a successful 
 financier upon the various questions 
 propounded to the class, we give 
 "Olly's" letter in full: 
 
 "I am leaving for the West to-mor 
 row on quite a long trip, and so as to 
 be sure to communicate with you, I 
 take a little time now. I wish that it 
 had been my luck to see more of you 
 and of many of my classmates, but my 
 busy life seems to have hindered it, but

 OLIVER HARRIDAN, JR. 
 
 tinually in my thoughts. I suppose 
 that you would like rue to answer* the 
 questions asked in your "Extra" so I 
 will do it as concisely as T can. 
 
 1. O. J. Harriman & Co.. 120 Broad- 
 way. Have resided since graduation 
 at Westchester, N. Y., Tuxedo Park, 
 and New York City. 
 
 2. Bankers & Brokers. Think that I 
 have been moderately successful, do 
 not complain. It is too embarrassing 
 to say how much I have made. 
 
 3 Am a staid married man. Married 
 Miss Grace Carley of Louisville, Ky., 
 •'the best woman in the world," Jan- 
 uary 28, '91, at St. Thomas' Church, 
 New York City. Went off on a 6 weeks 
 honeymoon which hasn't stopped yet. 
 
 4. No children. 
 
 5. Republican, believe in protection, 
 but not free coinage of silver nor the 
 Sherman bill of 1890 — Harrison. 
 
 6. Am Acting Aide-de-camp to Brig. 
 Gen. Louis Fitzgerald of the First Bri- 
 gade, Trustee of the Continental Trust 
 
 Co. and hold a few other positious of 
 trust. 
 
 7. Have taken every opportunity to 
 travel, when I could get away I went 
 somewhei'e and saw something. Since 
 '83 have been to Europe three times. 
 Travelled through Spain to the African 
 coast, spent two weeks in Venice and 
 Italian Lakes and have of course, gone 
 through London and Paris. Have been 
 to Cuba twice and South several times. 
 Start to-morrow on a tour of the 
 United States in a special train with 
 Dr W. Seward Webb's party, to be 
 gone two months or more, stopping to 
 see the World's Fair on our way back. 
 My wife always goes with me. 
 
 8 Am a member of the Princeton 
 Club of New York and have influenced

 9. I regret that I cannot send my 
 photo. I haven't one, but haven't 
 changed much. Still have a beardless 
 face, but have grown a "little hair on 
 my legs" since '83. Would take a Re- 
 cord of '83 at any price". 
 
 Thanks Ol! A V please. 
 
 Harsha, Albert K.* 
 
 Bert sends us such a characteristic 
 and unique letter that we quote the 
 most of it. He says: "I owe you a 
 thousand apologies and as many more 
 to every member of our dear old class 
 for failing to come up to the scratch 
 and give you a description of my past 
 collegiate life. [He is more repentant 
 for his tardiness thau most of the de- 
 linquents have been.] First of all I 
 want to thank you for your kind w ords 
 in regard to the fact that the Record 
 would be incomplete without a word 
 from me. 1 am egotist enough to be- 
 lieve that the class would be interested 
 in hearing from one whom it saw tit to 
 elect to represent them ai - ound the old 
 cannon on class day. After leaving 
 Princeton 'Sem' I settled down at Ros- 
 lyn, L. I., the home of the poet, Bryant, 
 where he lived the last forty years of 
 
—84- 
 
 his Life, and where he died and was 
 burigd. He was a constant attendant 
 at my church, although he was never 
 inspired into writing any of his master- 
 pieces by hearing my flight of oratory 
 acquired from Prof. Raymond, nor was 
 he ever charmed into a poetic mood by 
 hearing 'senior class glee club voice" 
 in th • doxology — all because he was 
 dead before I reached the Switzerland 
 of America, (as he chose to name Ros- 
 lyn). After spending two delightful 
 years there, I resigned my church on 
 account of the death of my wife During 
 the. summer of '8S 1 filled my brother's 
 pulpit in Omaha. 1 have scurried 
 around to find a church that might he 
 foolish enough to gel 'mashed on my 
 ecclesiastical Bgger.' A large church 
 in Keokuk. la , with (500 members and 
 a salary of $3, 000. was the tirsl victim 
 of my homiletie onslaught. I came as 
 near getting that church as the fellow 
 did in getting a wife. 'I asked her if 
 she would marry me and she said she 
 would not.' Then on May 15 I was in- 
 stalled over one of the nicest little 
 churches in the country, the Highland 
 Park Presbyterian Church, Minneapo- 
 lis, Minn. (Present address 1893.) 
 'Aggressive, spiritual and benevolent.' 
 In October 'SO I was married to Miss 
 Helen McLean of Newbury, Ontario, 
 Canada, a Scotch lassie of royal plaid 
 and true blue Presbyterian blood 1 
 have built me a neat little house and 
 cordially invite every '83 man to enter 
 my Wild West home and eat buffalo 
 meat and sleep in a blanket befote my 
 domestic camp-fire. The old gal 
 "Glory" has not 'monkeyed' with me 
 much. 'We never speak as we pass 
 by.' Frequently see Sam Davis and

 the old fellows, I am yours in our

 CHARLES HEWITT. 
 
 Charlie together with a few oilier of 
 our poverty stricken classmates like 
 Este Fisher and Jim Flint was so eco- 
 nomical with his note paper that he well 
 nigh discredited in our eyes an other- 
 wise readable letter, by writing on both 
 sides of the page. 
 
 With an amount of Christian for- 
 bearauce which pen cannot tell, we 
 have copied it off in part as follows: 
 
 1. Present address: The Arlington, 
 94 Montague St., Brooklyn, N. Y. 
 
 2. Have pursued Electrical Engi- 
 neering, more specifically Elec. R. R. 
 Engineering. Have not grown rich 
 in the service, but have not been alto- 
 gether unsuccessful. The enclosed 
 card shows my present official position 
 with the great Electrical Trust, viz. 
 "Inspector in the Railway Department 
 of the General Electric Co., Edison 
 Building, 44 Broad St., N. Y. City.'' 
 
 3. Was married on Sept. 20th '88 
 to Miss Helen Scarborough of Trenton, 
 N.J 
 
 4. No children to tell about. 
 
 5. Am a staunch Republican, be- 
 cause I believe in protection, sound 
 currency and other principles of the 
 party, and am well pleased with the 
 doings of the party while in power. [ 
 do not believe in Prohibition, or Third 
 Party movements, and voted for 
 Ben Harrison. I believe the country 
 has most to fear from foreign immigra- 
 tion and ring rule in politics, such ring 
 rule I mean as Tammany Hill exerts in 
 New York, even to the extent of cor- 
 rupting the Supreme Court. 
 
 I am a churchman, being a member 
 of what is known as the Protestant 
 Episcopal church. 
 
 (5. Am a full member of the Amer 
 iea.ii Institute of Electrical Engineer- 
 ing. Have written several articles for 
 the Electrical Journals, one of which 
 obtained sufficient prominence to be 
 commented upon in a long editorial iu 
 The Engineering News of London, Eug. 
 
 7. My travels have been numerous 
 and extended, but rehearsing them 
 would not prove interesting. I hope 
 and expect to attend the World's Fair 
 and '83 Decennial. 
 
 I do not see much of any of the boys

 VICTOR LUCAS HICKS. 
 
 Victor died of pneumonia at his home 
 in the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Cali- 
 fornia, in March, 1887. NedRoyle, who 
 was there about that time, learned that 
 Victor's death was caused by taking a 
 sea bath. This is not a sacrilegous joke 
 but a sad fact. Beiug in poor health 
 Victor went to some watering place on 
 the California coast, but the effect o* 
 the baths was the fatal illness.

 "Jack" is a lawyer in New York City 
 and the '83 lawyers in his city report 
 that he has been very successful iu his 
 profession having become in particular 
 a very able trial lawyer and developed 
 a wonderful capacity for "obfuscating" 
 witnesses, judges and the leaders of the 
 bar. His letter is characteristic in the 
 subtle points raised and the general 
 way in which everybody and every- 
 thing is "sat upon" including "Cook 
 County". 
 
 1. "Busiuess address 34 Nassau St.,

 berg and New York since graduation. 
 
 2. Teaching two years, then the study 
 and practice of the law. If success is 
 the attainment of an end, I have not 
 succeeded. If success consists in grad- 
 
—37— 
 
 ually attaining an end, I believe I am 
 succeeding. 
 
 3. Am married. Last record answers 
 all the questions under this head, ex- 
 cept that the maiden name of my wife 
 should be Karr instead of Carr as there 
 printed, and my children's names aad 
 births are as follows: 
 
 4. Charlotte Morse Hodge, May 25, 
 1889, Louise Karr Hodge, July 6, 1890. 
 These two inherit all the admirable 
 traits of their mother and some of the 
 faults of their father. 
 
 5. 1 am % democrat because I am op- 
 posed to the taxing of the many for the 
 benefit of the few and because I believe 
 that the Republican party like every 
 other in the history of the world, which 
 has had too long a lease of power, is 
 corrupted and corrupting. The class 
 secretary has greatly erred in asking 
 whether the members of the class are 
 for Protection or Free Trade as if one 
 must be for one or the other. (Excuse 
 us Jack. Don't split hairs.) I am for 
 neither jaud I believe that the Demo- 
 cratic party is for neither. Heresy is 
 the principal danger threatening the 
 American people because it is basic. 
 The remedy is Orthodoxy, — in religion, 
 science, art, poetry, literature, com- 
 merce, business politics and labor. It 
 is needless to add I am an old school 
 Presbyterian. I have written a large 
 number of books and a still greater 
 number of papers, but most of the for- 
 mer have been printed briefs and the 
 latter legal documents. I have tilled 
 no office and the societies I have joined 
 are merely of local interest; ( Why does 
 "Jack" decline to refer to the numer- 
 ous lectures he has delivered in Harlem 
 to the Y. M. C. A.?) "The only title I 
 have gained is that of L. L. B.

 !). Have the photos if it is not so late 
 as to delay the publication of Record, 
 not otherwise. Whether published in 
 record or not have the photos sent the 
 secretary put in aa album to be the 
 class property and have it at the De- 
 cennial and every subsequent reunion. 
 It could be kept in the Library — in '83 
 alcove if necessary. 
 
 10. I have few items of interest to 
 record respecting classmates although I 
 have heard from or of, nearly all of '83. 
 Half a dozen of '83's brainy men have 
 recently (this is hearsay) stated that 
 they had done so much for Princeton 
 in the past that they did not feel that 
 they could do much for her now, 
 especially as Princeton ha I done little 
 for them. Of course, Princeton owes 
 these men a debt for having been al- 
 lowed to grace -her walls with their 
 names, but for myself my debt to 
 Princeton is greater than can be paid," 
 (It makes us sad to think that notwith- 
 standing his legal training, "Jack" has 
 never fully destroyed that virgin mo- 
 desty and spirit of self abnegation 
 which so interfered with his being fully 
 appreciated while in college) "and as 
 the possessor of this feeling, I believe I 
 am very far indeed from being among 
 the minority of '83. I love to meet, as 
 I have recently, such class and college 
 enthusiasts as Colt, Lewis, Bryant, 
 Field, Roberts, Grouse and Moore. 
 The staple metropolitan ennui has not 
 covered them with its frigid monotone 
 of green moss and stiff lichen. — You see 
 Bryant has been talking to me of Arc- 
 tic scenery. — The sum of all this is that 
 it seems to me that a few of '83 are get- 
 ting old and are drying up into the sear 
 and yellow, and the writer hopes the 
 Decennial will freshen them up a bit es- 
 pecially if the '83 class gathers in force 
 and there is the flow of spirit that there 
 should be."

 Hoskins, Rev. Frank Evans. 
 
 The class receives no information re- 
 garding her sons with more ardent in- 
 terest than they glean from Hoskins' 
 remarkably interesting letter. He is 
 making History for the Church, for 
 the cause of christian civilization, for 
 Syria, and bringing credit to Princeton 
 as few other men are. We give him 
 all the space he desires. 
 
 1. Zahleh, Syria. Beirut three years, 
 New York two years, and Zahleh five 
 years. 
 
 2. First I taught three years in the 
 Syrian Protestant College at Beirut, 
 then I studied Theology in New York 
 for two years and now for five years I 
 have been a Missionary. As to "suc- 
 cess" I cannot say very much until 
 after accounts are balanced beyond the 
 stars. 
 
 3. Yes, I am a married man. I 
 went to Sidon, the oldest city in the 
 world, and persuaded Miss Harriette 
 Mollison Eddy that I was her best por- 
 tion in life. Then I ran over to New 
 York for the two years mentioned and 
 after I had my seminary parchment li- 
 cense, ordination, commission and pass- 
 port I hurried over the ocean for the 
 seventh time and reached Syria via Italy 
 and Alexandria about as fast as steam 
 would carry me. I reached Beirut one 
 lovely moruing in August, 1888, and re- 
 mained just 30 hours, long enough for 
 the minister to say the necessary words 
 and the U. S. Consul to wave the Star 
 Spangled Banner. Then we sailed 
 away to Switzerland via. Italy and after 
 a rest of two months we alighted in 
 Zahleh, or Eagle's nest or Lebanon, and 
 here we are still. And this is how it all 
 came about. 
 
 To Miss Harriette Mollison Eddy of 
 Sidon, Syria. Wedding at Beirut, 
 Aug. 20, 1888. 
 
 4. Three children, two little girls 
 still with us ami one little boy in heav- 
 en. Tho^e of '83 who have stood over 
 
 little graves know the meaning of that 
 last brief phrase. 
 
 Jeanuette Ives Hoskins, born at Sugul 
 Gharb, Sept. 28, 1889. Horace Eddy 
 Hoskins, born, Sugul Gharb, June 20, 
 1891, died Sugul Gharb, Aug., 3, 1891. 
 Clara Bradley Hoskins, born, Zahleh, 
 Nov. 1, 1892. 
 
 To those who remember me best as 
 standing on my head, walking an my 
 hands, turning a "back-away" for the 
 bar, or somersault between the trapeze, 
 I may say that Jeannette is a "chip 
 off the old block." She. is a sunny little 
 Syrian maiden and she began to ride 
 before her father when she was nine 
 months old. She speaks Arabic better 
 than I can ever hope to do and of 
 course English as well as I could at her 
 age. 
 
 Clara is a "kicker" at two months 
 and I have great hopes that she will 
 follow in Jeannette's footsteps. 
 
 Both are good, and in that resemble 
 their father — sic ! 
 
 5. I am an Independent. 
 
 I believe in Free Trade. 
 
 I do not believe in the free coinage of 
 .silver. 
 
 I believe that Immigration ought to 
 be regulated and many refused admit- 
 tance though I am sure that any at- 
 tempt at such will be thorney work. 
 
 I do not believe' in Prohibition as a 
 ' third party movement," much as I 
 favor Prohibition. It would be a nar- 
 i*ow plank on which to rest a national 
 party. 
 
 Alas! I could not vote in 1892. 
 
 I think that the American people ai'e 
 threatened with danger from Immigra- 
 tion, from ignorant Catholic foreigners, 
 and from the Jesuits. Our safety lies 
 in our common school system and the 
 great work of all Evangelical churches. 
 
 I have not found it hard to walk 
 within Presbyterian lines. I see less 
 and le>s reason for these prickly wire 
 fences which separate Evangelical de- 
 nominations. The best possible base 
 
—39— 
 
 of union will be that of honest Christ- 
 ian work, doing good to all men. 
 
 I have written many newspaper and 
 magazine articles and no books except 
 account books. Some of my articles 
 gave me an honorable election as mem- 
 ber of the Victoria Institute or Philos- 
 ophy Society of Great Britain. Very 
 little gold has rolled into my coffers 
 but I have enjoyed literary work and 
 only wish I had more time for such 
 things. 
 
 7. My travels are rehearsed in the 
 Sexennial and since I have not been out 
 of Syria since then I cannot add much 
 to that record. I have continued ray 
 mountain climbing by winter and by 
 sinnmer and have had more than one 
 thrilling experience in storm and sun- 
 shine. In this good year of 1892 I have 
 spent nearly 200 days in the saddle, fac- 
 ing all weathers and riding at all hours 
 of the day and night. My strength 
 holds out and I am happy in my work. 
 
 If some one of the nabobs of '83 will 
 send me an invitation with a good sized 
 check in it I will attend the World's 
 Fair and '83 Decennial also. But in the 
 absence of the check I must slay in my 
 mountain home. 
 
 8. I am uol a member of any Alum- 
 ni Club. 1 shall never fail to try and 
 send good men to Princeton, but I can- 
 not promise t<> form an Alumni Assoc- 
 iation just now!! 
 
 9 I will take a copy of the Record 
 pictures or no pictures. If I can se- 
 cure a picture of myself in time I shall 
 send it along. 
 
 10. I have not seen an '83 man for 
 live years ami so cannot add any items 
 
 The following which explains itself. 
 we insert here knowing the Class will 
 follow with interest Frank as he goes 
 about his work. 
 
 Dear Dr. Gillespie, Secretary For- 
 eign Board of Missions: — This waning 
 month of Dei-., '92, coupled with Sec- 
 tion 33 of the Manual reminds me that it 
 is time to make my annual "confession" 
 
 to the Board. I suppose I must present 
 a plain unvarnished tale leaving all de- 
 ductions and inferences to other times 
 and places. 
 
 I shall begin with my mercies. I have 
 enjoyed excellent health and have not 
 known an hour of sickness. I have not 
 postponed a journey or changed a plan 
 on account of wind or weather and God 
 has brought me safely through dangers 
 seen and unseen. 
 
 Because my colleague is still immers- 
 ed in the swamps and entangled in the 
 snares of Arabic grammar, I have will- 
 ingly borne the greater part of the sta- 
 tion work. 
 
 The treasury and all book accounts, 
 with the care of mission property, the 
 secular work of the station has falle n 
 almost wholly to my care. 
 
 I have preached at 43 regular Sunday 
 services with prayer meetings and vil- 
 lage conferences innumerable. 
 
 I have conducted 9 communion ser- 
 vices and have baptized 10 little child- 
 ren. It has so happened that I have 
 not officiated at either a wedding or a 
 funeral. 
 
 I have a record of 100 visits to our 
 own outstations where my stay varied 
 from a few hours to six or seven days. 
 1 visited also some 10 stations of the 
 Sidon field. 
 
 My record of native calls maiuly in L. 
 reaches 327, a number well within the 
 actual facts. I have entertained callers 
 innumerable at the expense of time, 
 patience and other work. 
 
 I preached once in English to the 
 students of the Syrian Protestant Col- 
 lege. At the invitation of the Sidon Sta- 
 tion I delivered the annual address at 
 the Seminary Commencement in May. 
 
 I have given 8 magic lantern enter- 
 tainments in as many of our outstations 
 and one at the Seminary and Academy 
 in Sidon. 
 
 I have assisted at the direction of the 
 union in the revision of the Schedule of 
 of Studies now used in nearly all our 
 mission schools. 
 
-40- 
 
 Gover anient troubles have cost me 
 not less than four mouths harassing and 
 trying work with frequent journeys to 
 Baalbec. Damascus and Barab. God 
 opened very unexpected floors of deliv- 
 erance and gave me success. It cost 
 many rebuffs and insults, many days of 
 riding in the heat and dust of summer, 
 during a period of two months to reop- 
 en the Ras Baalbec school which was 
 legally closed in the hope that we would 
 pay tribute. For 18 months we have 
 been trying for permission to repair 
 and reroof the schools in Jedutha and 
 Seyhbrie. Just six days ago we finish- 
 ed the new iron roof at Jedutha and 
 we have partly succeeded in Seyhbrie. 
 This Government business does seem 
 the most unnecessary as it is certainly 
 the most trying of all our experiences. 
 
 The days of the year 1892 are said to 
 be 365 — I could not accept that were it 
 not on the very best authority, since 
 they have down like lightniug by me. 
 I have takea no vacation and have 
 spent all those days within the bounds 
 of missions. I made two visits, oae of 
 15 aad auother of 18 days to the Sidou 
 field helping Mr. Ford in the absence 
 of Mr. Eddy. 
 
 My diary tells me that of the 365 days 
 I spent 199 outside of Zahleh, sleeping 
 159 nights away from my own home. I 
 spent 9 days beside in Quarantine in or- 
 der to attend the annual meeting of last 
 February. These days and nights away 
 from home were not spent in palace 
 hotels or sleeping cars, but in places of- 
 ten damp and cold and rarely comfor- 
 table or clean. 
 
 My journeys have carried me over 
 2,400 miles, 2,100 of which were made 
 in the saddle in all weathers and at all 
 hours of the day and night. 
 
 My heart sinks at the meanness of the 
 few facts that are tangible, not to men- 
 tion sorrow at the nieagi'eness and the 
 still more intangible nature of the re- 
 sults. It is not the things accomplished 
 that have cost most, but the knowledge 
 
 of the many things left undone and the 
 things apparently within reach and yet 
 unattainable. I leave the results with 
 God and bear willing witness to the 
 constant joy and growing preciousness 
 of the service for such a Blessed Master 
 whom not having seen we love. 
 
 I have published some 10 articles in 
 the periodicals and have written some 
 20 letters to Churches and Bands.

 Our good natured, smiling Here, 
 surprised the Secretary one day in Al- 
 bion by a visit, and was given a warm 
 welcome as every '83 man finds waiting 
 him. Here, has developed and we were 
 delighted to see him. He "tells us of 
 himself" in these brief sentences: 
 
 Dear Rudd: On my return from a 
 business trip I find yours of the 25th 
 inst awaiting me and not being able to 
 withstand the look of long suffering 
 patience in "half tone" on your "3d 
 and Last Call," immediately seize your 
 examiuatiou paper and start in. 
 
-41— 
 
 First. Our home as last reported is 
 No. 286 Roseville Ave., Newark, N. J., 
 and the latch string is always out. 
 
 Business same. Imported wines and 
 wholesale liquors. If success is count- 
 ed in dollars I am still after it. 
 
 Third. Married Sept 28th, 1886 at 
 Newark, N. J. to Mary Alice Streit. 
 
 Fourth. Richard Streit Howell, 
 born Aug. 1st, 1887; died March 4th,

 daddy but a sturdy little fellow and 
 hope the handicap will not be too much 
 for him; Princeton, 1909. Katharyn 
 Howell, born Dec. 10th, 1891; just like 
 her mother and just right. 
 
 Fifth. Politics: I'm a Republican 
 first perhaps because my father was 
 before me, and because I think the 
 leaders of the Republican Party are 
 brainier men and better fitted to look 
 after the financial and commercial in- 
 terests of the country. I also think 
 there is more education and truer 
 American spirit in the rank and file of 
 the Republican Party. 
 
 I believe in a fair protective tariff, a 
 paper currency always redeemable at its 
 face value in gold, with silver coinage 
 sufficient to meet the requirements of 
 commerce, an unlimited silver coinage 
 I believe will send gold to a premium 
 and create a commercial pauic. 
 
 Prohibition is beautiful as a theory 
 but I have seen how it does not work 
 in Maine, Iowa and Kansas. 
 
 Voted for Harrison and Reid. Pres- 
 byterian. 
 
 Sixth. No book, no office, no glory, 
 but after the dust like four-fifths of the 
 present generation; and Seventh, have 
 been over the greater part of the Unit- 
 ed States looking for it. Expect to at- 
 tend the World's Fair, and health per- 
 mitting, will surely attend '83's Decen- 
 nial.

 "Your sweet mug to hand, will crown 
 you queen of the May. Don't run any 
 "Patient Sec" on me— I've borne with 
 you, oh! so patiently. You should see 
 my medals, The "W. Goodrich Jones 
 oratory medals" given every year to 
 
-42- 
 
 graduating class, Public School, oue to 
 boy and one to girl. Big oratory contest 
 in our Opera House. Remind you of 
 the J. O. I then award the medals to 
 slow music. We have big times in this 
 young town — 7000 people here now 
 and still a coming. I'm an old citizen. 
 My boy is 16 months old and can say 
 "Fresh fire round the cannon-fresh- 
 fresh-fresh." 
 
 I believe in an infinite God and the 
 answering of prayers. I was long 
 sceptical of this latter, but have had 
 signal and to me unmistakable answers. 
 Of course my so called "answers" can 
 be reasoned away, but I think it more 
 unreasonable to attempt to do this than 
 to accept them. 
 
 Politics. Am for Cleveland; only 
 want protection for revenue and infant 
 industries. Bimetallic special basis. 
 1 fear, above all evils the Roman Cath- 
 olic efforts to pull down our public 
 schools. I believe in high license. I 
 believe in crushing politically all affili- 
 ated with Tammany. I write occasion- 
 ally to the Galveston News. Can't say 
 how readable they are but they print 
 them. 
 
 Am considered in Texas the "leading 
 crank" on forestry and tree planting. 
 I organized "Arbor Day" in this state. 
 
 I enclose a lullaby rhyme of my recent 
 muse, I also put it to music, which I 
 think beats the words. Young William 
 Goodrich is the muse inspired I will 
 be at the World's Fair— babe, wife and 
 Penates. 
 
 I travel quite a good deal. Was 
 wrecked in the Gulf of Mexico several 
 years back — on the coral reefs of tl e 
 old Fort "Dry Tortugas." Got safely to 
 Key West, Fla . in a "wreckers" fishing 
 smack. 
 
 We are talking of organizing an Al- 
 umni Association in Texas. 
 
 Yes will take a book at $3 to $5" 
 
 I hope dear Ruddy this will satisfy 
 your cravings — may be it is too much if 
 so, run your pencil through. Hope all 
 
 fares well with you. 1 see Royle is 
 married. All lovely with me and mine. 
 Am very busy and very happy. 
 
 Billy sends an interesting P. S. as 
 follows, dated May 1.'93 
 
 I lived in Galveston at tirst, attending 
 to my fathers landed estate in Texas. 
 Have caught fair "succes." Greatest 
 strike was the girl I got, and young 
 "Texas Billy," who is about a year old. 
 I married Zollie Luther, daughter of 
 Rev. J. H. Luther, D. D., President of 
 Baylod (Texas) Female College — (Bap- 
 tist). 
 
 Am a Presbyterian, although I have 
 built a Baptist Mission Chapel in 
 Temple and attend it. I don't believe 
 in the dogmas— doubts and "isms" 
 that divide up the Protestant church. 
 
 Later. The sad message reaches us 
 that Billy's bright boy died May 6th, 
 1893.

 GEORGE N. KAKNEK. 
 
 It will be remembered that Duck as 
 the presiding genius at 3 North East, 
 
—43- 
 
 started way down on the ground floor 
 of the synagogue, but he has been going 
 up higher ever since. 
 
 The four years of his first pastorate at 
 Manchester N. H. were spent pleasantly 
 to him and profitably to his people, 
 while for the last three years he has 
 been enjoying a most happy and fruit- 
 ful ministry at the West End Presby- 
 terian Church of Albany N Y. Nor is 
 he less happy in his domestic life, hav- 
 ing married Miss. Emma L. Cadmus on 
 June. 15, 1889, and now having a young- 
 ster to trot on each knee, — Lenox Stan- 
 ley, born Nov. 28, 188 ( J, and Clara Lou- 
 isa, born Feb. 7, 1892. 
 
 He states his ''issues" thus: "I voted 
 for "Benjamin" in 1888 and 1892, hence 
 I am a Republican on National issues, 
 with strong leanings toward Prohibi- 
 tion when the will of the people is ready 
 to make Prohibition prohibit. 
 
 Intemperance and the spirit of gamb- 
 ling are the two great evils that threat- 
 en our country. A quickened pulpit 
 ought to act as a remedy." 
 
 "My pen has been a busy one although 
 as yet I have been slow to rush into 
 print. 
 
 My travels have been simply vacation 
 trips North to the White Mountains, 
 South to Virginia, West to the Dakotas. 
 
 I expect to attend the World's Fair 
 and will be "there" at the Decennial 
 Reunion. 
 
 I am a member of the Albany Alumni 
 Club. 
 
 "Albany.— Nineteen were added to 
 the membership of the West End Pres- 
 byterian Church, Albany, April 6th, 
 Rev. George N. Karner pastor. At a 
 recent congregational meeting it was 
 decided to increase the pastor's salary, 
 to enlarge, reseat, and beautify the pres- 
 sent church structure, and arrangements 
 were made looking forward to the pur- 
 chase of a parsonage. The congrega- 
 tion about doubled its contributions to 
 missions the past year. The outlook is 
 very encouraging." 
 
 The above is taken from the ''N. Y. 
 Evangelist" of May 11th 1893 and we re- 
 joice deeply with dear old "Duck Ear- 
 ner. " 
 
 Kellar, John L,. 
 
 Kellar takes the request of the Sec'y 
 literally and uses only one page in an- 
 swering the questions. — He is pursuing 
 that steady, strong course, which, while 
 not always brilliant, is sure to bring 
 success. The brevity of his answers 
 detracts nothing from it although the ■ 
 class would gladly hear more from John 
 — He says: — 
 
 1. 76 Montgomery St., Jersey City N. 
 J. In J. C. since grad. 
 
 2. Practicing law. Success moderate. 
 
 3. No. Getting too old now. 
 
 4. None. 
 
 5. Democrat (on National issues). 
 Favor tariff for revenue only. 
 Don't believe in Prohib. as 3d party. 
 Voted for Cleveland in '92. 
 Religious affiliations not as strong as 
 they ought to be. 
 
 7. Hope to attend World's Fair and 
 '83's Decennial. 
 
 8. N. Y. City Alumni and Club. 
 
 9. Favor pictures. 
 
 P. S. Don't expect these answers will 
 bring me either 1st or 2d prize. 
 
 Landis, Rev. Evan H. 
 
 The East was too dull and slow for E., 
 whose ''hustling propensities" in col- 
 lege led him to seek the far West. After 
 graduating from Princeton Seminary in 
 '86 he was successively in Collegeville, 
 Pa. ; Ponca Springs, Col ; and Neokesha, 
 Kan.; and is at preseut a pastor of a 
 church at Linden, Mich, Mirabile Dictu 
 Evan was married April 30, '88, to Miss 
 Emily Homer at Collegeville, Pa. He 
 said: "You ask my reason for predica- 
 ment. Reason enough. My wife. I 
 fell in love with her." For one year E. 
 was professor of Hebrew and History in 
 Ursinus College. He has sent one man 
 to Princeton. Evan is now preaching 
 at Linden, Mich. (Reprint from 1889.)

 Landis, Rev. Henry M.*f 
 
 REV. HENRY M. LANDIS. 
 
 Just as we were "going to press," in 
 fact after we had read the proof, the 
 mail brought us the appended latest 
 news from Henry. He also sent Lis 
 photograph which was to late for inser- 
 tion. Henry writes this from Tokio, 
 Japan: 
 
 "At length though a little late I shall 
 try to respond to your call which came 
 a few weeks ago. My excuse for not 
 responding at once, is that at the time 
 typhoid and diptheria (in light form) 
 made their claims. Since relieved from 
 these visitors I hastened to get the de- 
 sired photo, which I send along to your 
 address. 
 
 Without however making demands 
 upon your busy time, I hasten to apply 
 myself to the examination paper drawn 
 up by you, much afraid indeed that you 
 may find my answers greatly below par. 
 Hope you'll not be too severe in mark- 
 ing. 
 
 1. My jtreseut address is Meiji Gak- 
 nin, Tokyo, Japan. Places resided in 
 
 since graduation are as follows: Cole- 
 brookdale, Berks Co., Pa.; Berlin, Ger- 
 many; Princeton, N. J.; Bloomfield, N. 
 J.; Kamenz, Saxony, Germany; Tokyo-, 
 Japan (five years now). 
 
 2. First, teacher in German Theolo- 
 gical School at Bloomfield. At present 
 a missionary under the American Pres- 
 byterian Board of Foreign Missions, 
 mainly engaged in teaching in one of 
 its institutions, the Meiji Gaknin. 
 
 The "success" is hard to fix or gauge 
 under the circumstances. I have not 
 yet by any means succeeded to satisfac- 
 tion in conquering the Japanese lang- 
 uage, undoubtedly tlie hardest task ever 
 set for me as well as reputed to be the • 
 most difiicult language to subjugate, 
 A native Japanese can no doubt ac- 
 quire a better mastery of English, say, 
 in four years than of his own language, 
 though raised and educated in it, in 
 fourteen years. 
 
 In general, work has been pleasant 
 enough here, hard and unceasing as the 
 effort may be under many disadvant- 
 ages. Lately I have been indirectly in- 
 strumental iu getting Chas. Gorei "In- 
 carnation of our Lord," on the way in- 
 to a Japanese dress. Work ranges here 
 through language work, Evangelistic 
 efforts, architectural efforts (quite a 
 number of these through Tokyo, in 
 Sendai, Kyato.Kobe and even to Korea) 
 teaching along lines of Psychology, 
 Logic, Astronomy, Greek, German, 
 Gospel History, Exegesis of New Testa- 
 ment Epistles, and a number of other 
 lines at times, enough for an ordinary 
 man in most cases. Various secretary- 
 ships have also made demands on my 
 time. 
 
 3. I happen to be a married man, 
 married to Mrs. [ Landis, nee. Emma 
 Stiefier, on July 16, 1888, in Kamenz, 
 Saxony, civil and church ceremony, so 
 securely locked, in Lessing's Church, a 
 building dating from the 12th century. 
 
 4. Children as follows; 
 
 I. Fritz Wilhelm, born May 11, '89, 
 
—45— 
 
 Tokyo, died Feb. 17, '92 of tubercular 
 meningitis, aged 2 years, mouths and 
 6 days. Lived loug enough to show 
 many marked traits of great beauty aud 
 depth especially iu artistic apprecia- 
 tion. The departure of the beautiful 
 little life was felt most deeply aud 
 many friends he had made brought 
 their tributes. 
 
 II. Eleanor May, born Jan. 9, '91, 
 iu many regards a reproduction of her 
 elder brother. A bud of much promise. 
 
 III. Paula Margaretha, born Nov. 
 11, '92, much praised for her personal 
 qualities as far as they have appeared. 
 
 5. Not being iu the U. S. my politics 
 are not so partisan as to be easily in- 
 cluded in a name. A Republican by 
 preference and in view of history, but 
 opposed to its boasted protective policy 
 in many respects. Would probably 
 join the Mugwumps if they suited me. 
 Democratic record not clear enough to 
 suit. Like Cleveland's strong attitude 
 on silver, knowing by experience in a 
 silver country what a financial degra- 
 dation it means. The U. S. have 
 not hi iiy- statesmanlike yet on Immigra- 
 tion or Exclusion, obeying only the 
 clamors raised by low passions. Pro- 
 hibition is right, no doubt, but seems to 
 do best as a moral force simply. Would 
 have voted for Harrison most likely. 
 Riches may prove a snare for America. 
 The silver craze certainly is in the way 
 of sound policy. "Missionary" of the 
 American Presbyterian Board indicates 
 religious affinities. 
 
 6. Have been guilty of none of these 
 offeuses. 
 
 7. My travels between college and 
 seminary course are sufficiently known 
 no doubt. My journey to my present 
 home was a great and grand wedding 
 trip, which also is familiar to all who 
 care to know perhaps. Leaving New 
 York on June 21, 1888, I arrived at 
 Hamburg and reached Berlin the fol- 
 lowing day, the glorious 4th of July, 
 where I hailed Dr. Carmen, '83 aud 
 
 Simmons and Jackof Seminary fame, 
 and Wilson (Sem. too I think). Dres- 
 den and Kamenz saw me the next day, 
 where I had to wait for the Saxon 
 King's good pleasure and special dis- 
 pensation before the ceremonies could 
 go on, uncertain indeed whether His 
 Royal Highness would allow me to 
 steal away one of the daughters of his 
 realm. The 16th found all ready how- 
 ever, and all was done amid circum- 
 stances, as Carmen could describe, the 
 only '83 man present, and the only 
 American except two. Thence through 
 Saxony to the Riesengebirge, Bohemia, 
 etc., aud back again. Thence through 
 the length of Germany and the beauties 
 of Switzerland and Northern Italy, 
 brought us to our embarkation point, 
 Venice, whence from Aug. 17th to 
 Sept. 24th the sea was our landscape, 
 except such glimpses as were afforded 
 by Ancoma, Briudisi, Port Said, Suez 
 Canal, Red Sea, Aden, Colambo, Pen- 
 ary, Singapore, Hong Kong and the 
 approaches of Japanese coast, especial- 
 ly Fuji San, the Peerless. 
 
 The World's Fair seems out of reach 
 of a poor missionary's pocket except- 
 ing such as hare fortunate furloughs 
 enough. I am an unfortunate. 
 
 '83 Decennial Reunion, ditto. 
 
 8. No Princeton Alumni Club out 
 here, though we may be many enough 
 in Japan to have one. The prime 
 object, — to influence new students for 
 Princeton, — is not an encouraging pros- 
 pect here. 
 
 9. I hope to get a Record, whether 
 it cost $1.50 or $5,00, and shall try to 
 remember then to reimburse you for 
 the last, which neglect was an inad- 
 vertence. 
 
 10. Of classmates I see the most of 
 none, and hear but little of any. Hence 
 can't reply to this question. Princeton 
 men of other classes however are abun- 
 dant out here, of whom I may instance 
 the venerable Dr. Hepburn, (lately re- 
 turned) Dr. Jmbrie. Mr. MacNair, (of 
 
foot ball fame) Mr. Pierson '82, Mr. 
 Woodhull '84 (big as life) and others, 
 especially of the seminary. 
 N. B. Please notice that I do not intend 
 to compete for your prizes. I hope 
 my reply will reach yon in time yet. 
 Am sorry to have delayed .so long. 
 Much success to you iu working up the 
 record, and a great deal to all at the 
 Decennial Reunion. Should like to be 
 there but can't. 
 
 Lewis, Lucius A.*f 
 
 "Lucy" writes us from Philadelphia 
 dated Jan. 18, '93 whither he had gone 
 to receive medical treatment. The 
 men who have visited Portland speak 
 of the cordial and princely hospitality. 
 which Lewis so generously extends 
 "Lucy the class wish for you even- 
 possible gain in health and avoirdupois 
 and -hope to see you at the reunion. 
 The song Lewis sings is in the key of a 
 sharp, as of old, viz: 
 
 My dear Rudd: For several months 
 I have been away from home and I 
 have failed to get the circular which 
 you doubtless sent me. Bryant gave 
 me a copy however a day or two ago. 
 T have nothing in particular to tell you 
 that would add much to the interest 
 and value of the Record. Have been 
 in Portland most of the time following 
 the same course of existence as noted 
 in the past Records; with the exception 
 of an occasional trip or two. Have 
 been here sevei'al months taking a 
 course of treatment as I had run down 
 a bit in health diu'ing the last few 
 years. 
 
 Have not had a Photo taken in some 
 time but will send you one if I get stout 
 enough in the face and body to war- 
 rant having one taken. 
 
 My address is as usual, care Allen 
 and Lewis, Portland, Oregon. 
 
 I wish you success with the Record. 
 
 Libbey, Frederick A.*f 
 
 FREDERICK A. LIBBEY. 
 
 From his brother and from Rutan 
 we learn that Fred has gone from 
 Moutclair N". J., where he has been 
 living for some time, and is now in 
 Chicago with the A. T. & S. Fe R. R. 
 Co. in the Monadnock Building. 
 
 Fred is married, but when, where 
 and to whom, we know not. 
 
 Life, John C 
 
 After repeated attempts we have not 
 yielded up the ghost, but only failui'e 
 has been the result of our attempt to 
 find Life. We hear he is at Traer, 
 Iowa. Brace up Life and wi'ite us. 
 
 McKiiight, Robert Jr. 
 
 Bob who was always a general favor- 
 ite died at Montecito, Cal. heb. 14, 
 1889. A full account of his life is given 
 in the Triennial Record.

 Merry weather , Thos. A.* 
 
 The most recent information we have 
 of Merryweather is that he was in 1889 
 in business at Huntington, Pa. Further 
 information regarding him will be glad- 
 ly received. 
 
 Mitchell, Benjamin W. Ph. D. 
 
 Mitchell has replied so fully and ac- 
 curately to the interrogatories as to re- 
 call one of those faultless recitations 
 that he used to make in "Lambauo." 
 
 The following is an extract: 
 
 'Your latest deliverance at hand and 
 spurred on by the munificent offer of a 
 nice lit le prize to the spiciest boy of. 
 our dandy little class, I hasten to till 
 out my physicial, mental, and spiritual 
 description list I greatly fear that if 
 our good secretary is on the lookout for 
 spice, he had better send his blanks to 
 
 1>R. BENJAMIM W. MITCHELL. 
 
 Wellesley or Vassar; for according to 
 the old jiugle it is not a component of 
 the masculine nature. By this rhyme 
 little girls arc "sugar, and spice, and 
 everything nice," while we are "but 
 snaps, and snails and puppy dog tails." 
 
 but here goes: nee bona morer, nee 
 dona videbo. "Drop your idea in the 
 slot and pull out a record," says the 
 .Secretary. That's all right; but we of 
 the "hoipolloi" have no chance in com- 
 petition of wit with the diplomatic 
 Crouse who was selected to kick us out 
 into the cold, cold world; or the potent, 
 grave, and reverend Petty, the peram- 
 bulating bureau of statistics; or the scin- 
 tillating luminosity of the blizzard-born- 
 Yard, who "lets his light so shine" as to 
 rake in boundless sheckels from the 
 giver of Metropolitian political light; 
 or those heroes of the tropics and the 
 pole, C. Wilson and Bryant, or last, but 
 not least, that electrically illumined 
 fountain of poesy, Perriue, whose 
 sentimental journey to the Windy City 
 knocks that of Lawrence Sterne into a 
 cocked hat. But to the interrogations. 
 
 1. My present permanent address is 
 146 Franklin St., Alleghany, Pa. Have 
 lived in Alleghany ever since gradua- 
 tion. 
 
 2. I have followed the profession of 
 teaching. I established a preparatory 
 school in Alleghany, which I have re- 
 cently transferred to Pittsburg. The 
 East Liberty Academy yearly sends 
 students to all ourprominent colleges — 
 most of them, I am happy to say, to 
 Princeton. As to the catching of suc- 
 cess, there arc too many shades of mean- 
 ing attached to that word to give a defi- 
 nite answer. I may state, however, 
 that I have not become a millionaire, 
 have not become famous, and have not 
 starved. 
 
 3. I was married on Dec. 31, 1884, at 
 Cumberland, Md., to Miss Annia Lee 
 Edwards. As she is still in excellent 
 health and has not yet applied for a di- 
 vorce, I believe I can safely state that I 
 am a married man. 
 
 4 ! 
 
 5- I am — or have been hither to — a 
 Republican, because I believe that the 
 principles of this party will, if honestly 
 applied, conduce to the growth, pro- 
 
—48— 
 
 gress and prosperity of the nation and 
 because I see what the application of 
 these principles has done for the countiy 
 since 1861. I am a Protectionist, be- 
 cause, while I freely admit that Free 
 Trade is the ideal basis of the inter-re- 
 lation of nations, I hold that the human 
 race and it? actions and best interests 
 can never be regulated by theory. What 
 we need is that theories be modified or 
 even brushed away to suit the practical 
 needs of industry. Granting even that 
 the tariff is a tax, what method can be 
 preferred to that which, while resting as 
 an infinitesimal on all, gives a means of 
 suppoi't — to hundreds of thousands." 
 (Alas! after all these years Benny seems 
 to think he is passing an examination 
 on political economy under "Chris" 
 Hamilton.) As to silver, I believe the 
 question will continue to disturb our 
 finances till settled in some way by the 
 concurrent action of the U. S. and the 
 great nations of Europe. We cannot 
 manage the question alone. I most em- 
 phatically do not believe in Prohibition 
 as a third party movement. I voted in 
 1892 for Harrison. The only serious 
 danger I can see before the American 
 people is the labor problem, the phases 
 of which are too numerous to partic- 
 ularize. I leave the remedies for time 
 to suggest and wire pulling politicians 
 to apply. As to religious affiliations, I 
 am a member of the Presbyterian 
 Church. 
 
 6. Have written a little, but not of a 
 sufficient importance to chronicle. 
 Have filled no office and don't want to. 
 Am a member of the Royal Arcanum, 
 the Western Pennsylvania Society for 
 University Extension, the Western 
 Union of Pittsburg. Have taken the 
 Ph. D. 
 
 7. As to travels, we'll leave those to 
 "Tape" Byrant. Mine have been lim- 
 ited to sundry trips outside of civiliza- 
 tion (approximately speaking") (He 
 probably refers to Cumberland, Md., 
 the old home of his uncle, "Lord 
 John.") 
 
 Moore, Russell W.* 
 
 Since graduation "Rusty" has chiefly 
 resided in New York City. He writes 
 that he has pursued the profession of 
 "analytical chemist" serving the New 
 York State Dairy Commission in that 
 capacity. Had charge of the testing 
 of Sugar at the Port of New York until 
 sugar was made free by the McKinley 
 law. Since then have been examiner 
 of drugs, chemicals and dyestuffs in 
 the Appraisers departments. Am also 
 a member of the New York custom 
 Board of Civil Service Examiners. Not 
 married, can cite no reason good or 
 otherwise. May be I am to young." 
 
 "He is a Republican, Protectionist 
 and opposed to "free coinage". Does 
 not believe in Prohibition as a political 
 issue. The work sought to be done is 
 a matter of education which should be 
 accomplished through the school and 
 church." 
 
 "Have been an office holder ever 
 since leaving Princeton, first as chemist 
 to the New York State Dairy Commis- 
 sion up to July 1888 and from that time 
 examiner of chemicals under the U. S. 
 Appraiser at New York. Am also a 
 member of the New York Customs Civil 
 Service Board. Have written some 
 papers of a scientific nature for chemi- 
 cal journals. Am a member of the 
 University Club and Princeton Club of 
 New York and of some Masonic bodies; 
 was master of Merchants' Lodge No., 
 709 in 1889. The only thing in the na- 
 ture of glory I can recall is the thanks 
 of the U. S. Civil Service Commission 
 for the examination of some chemical 
 papers which were a matter of protest 
 and were submitted to me for final re- 
 port. 
 
 My travels have been principally 
 around New York State with occasional 
 trips South and East. One summer 
 (1884) "was spent in England and Scot- 
 land. Will possibly attend the World's 
 Fair, and '83 Decennial surely. 
 
 Am content to leave the details of 
 
—49- 
 
 the Record to the Committee ami will 
 thankfully accept at any price what- 
 ever they may decide to issue." 
 
 Morgan, David Percy 
 
 Percy tucks our queries under his 
 arm and starts out for a touchdown. 
 
 My dear Rudd: Since I met you on 
 the train, I have been working hard 
 for a permanent address, having done 
 nothing but wauder about ever since 
 '83. That address is 106 East 37th St. 
 New York City, I hope. 1 have resided 
 in New York, Washington and New 
 York again. Then I left these parts 
 for the West having taken a previous 
 trip through every State in the Union 
 with Taber. Taber thought he would 
 like to settle in some small town of 
 10,000 inhabitants where he could be 
 the man of the place. The poetry of 
 his resolutions completely vanished 
 after he had seen these small towns. 
 Poor Taber, after standing so high in 
 Granny Hunt's specialties his sensitive 
 ear could not submit to the mutilated 
 English of the Western small town, and 
 the peculiar methods of placing their 
 feet on their desks above the horizontal 
 with coats off, and cigars to boot. Last 
 but not least, no music. This trip with 
 Taber was a grand one and I enjoyed 
 every moment of it. We met Lucy 
 Lewis in Portland and he treated us 
 royally. 1 dropped Taber at Chicago 
 where he has remained, and came East 
 fully imbued with the Western fever. 
 I am afraid this does not speak well for 
 my sensitive nature after the above ac- 
 count. However I was fortunate 
 enough to become married to Miss 
 Edith Parsons, Oct. 7th 1886 at Lenox, 
 Mass. who was willing to try the 
 West. We travelled every whei'e on 
 this side and were very much tempted 
 to settle in Salt Lake City, Clair Royle 
 was so nice and kind to us there. Ed 
 was on a "Starring" trip and we missed 
 him. The fates called us nevertheless 
 
 to Chicago where I tried mercantile life. 
 I walked myself to a shadow, and that 
 is all I had to show for it. It is not my 
 nature to do this sort of thing vei-y long 
 so I dropped mercantile life after 18 
 months drudgery. I was very strongly 
 impressed with Chicago as a center, 
 and did not want to leave the place. I 
 thought the Real Estate business ought 
 to have its advantages. I went in and 
 have not jet lived to regret it. After 
 remaining three years in Chicago, I 
 drifted back to the East and here I am 
 in the Real Estate business in this city 
 as well as the West. I have two 
 daughters, one born in Chicago Nov. 
 13, 1888, Helen by name, the other 
 Edith Percy, born Nov. 9, 1891. My 
 politics have not changed. I do not 
 sympathize with the third party move- 
 ment. After knocking around as much 
 as I have, I take a very optimistic view 
 of the condition of the American peo- 
 ple. Outside of some possible currency 
 complications I can see no dangers 
 ahead. Congress can apply the rem-

 Undoubtedly there is no member of 
 '83 in regard to whom his classmates 
 are more desirous to obtain informa- 
 tion thau "Jack." Yet his letter in 
 proportion to its length contains even 
 fewer facts than Fred Rutau's. It 
 shows that Jack has the same spirit 
 as of yore when he offered to bet 
 the Teutonic member of the faculty the 
 beer as to a point in German syntax.

 received from said professor 4} disord- 
 er marks and yel at the cud of the 
 term compelled Lhe descendant of the 
 martyred Huss to give him a grade of 
 100. Jack has been very successful as 
 a teacher and has taught for several 
 years in "The Troy Polytechnic." The 
 study of Greek at college engendered 
 in Jack such a desire to emulate Achil- 
 les, etc., that, he seems only to be satis- 
 tied when terrorizing the modern Troj- 
 an youths. Jack writes as follows: 
 "2013 Fifth Ave., Troy, N. Y.

 My Dear Rudd: I have positively 
 nothing of the slightest interest to any 
 one that needs insertion in the Decen- 
 nial Record. I suppose you must have 
 somewhere the material you gathered 
 for the Sexennial. To that you might 
 add as P. S. to the following effect: 
 "I am increased in age by four years 
 since the above was written." It seems 
 that there are "as to" the locks of our 
 modern Trojan assailauf'silver threads 
 among the gold" 
 
 The tale of the same is of no special 
 interest to any but the teller. Let it 
 then not appear further. 
 
 Fraternally yours, 
 J. G. Murdoch 
 
 Occupation and procrastin alio n 
 (chiefly the latter together with the 
 knowledge thai "youd"not to be held

 In the case of the Class Secretary vs.

 1. Have resided at Garrison's, N. Y., 
 Cambridge, Mass. and New York. My 
 business address is 70 Wall St., N. Y. 
 and residence 135 E 30th St. 
 
 2. My occupation lias been Law, 
 with side issues of Charitable Society 
 and Polities. Cannot say that I have 
 "caught success," if you mean by tint 
 taking a position in the world I think 
 I have succeeded in obtaining and re- 
 taining the respect of my neighbors; 
 that I have more self control than form- 
 erly, and that I have better powers for 
 my work or play; so I am partly satis 
 tied.

 5. Democrat because I believe in 
 Home Rule, restriction of Government 
 interference, reduction of expenses and 
 tariff, government for the mass as op- 
 posed to government for special inter- 
 ests, and disbelief in the wisdom of the 
 purchase of silver under the Act of 1800. 
 I think the tariff should be materially 
 ■.■educed; begiuniug with such articles 
 as are most used by tin- farming classes, 
 who are now unjustly discriminated 
 against. I think one of the gravest dan- 
 gers threatening the American people- 
 is indicated by the depreciation in farm 
 values, the diminution of farm popula- 
 tion ami the growing demoralization of 
 the farming class. These facts appear 
 in New York State, I know, and I sus- 
 
 pect they are found throughout the 
 country. I do not believe in prohibi- 
 tion and voted for Cleveland and Stev- 
 enson. The most specific dangers that 
 I see, are, increasing luxury, the venal- 
 ity of voters, and a possible lack of na- 
 tional homogeneity arising from unre 
 stricted emigration.

 Billy inserts his hypodermic syringe 
 into his ink bottle and injects the fol- 
 lowing into the Decennial Record. 
 Rather rough on the Record you say? 
 Well, yes; but we'll promise that the 
 dose shall not be repeated soon again. 
 
 My Dear Rudd : Your circular letter 
 with the same insolent interrogatories 
 as of old, is before me, and here goes 
 the reply. 
 
 My present address is 709 N. 17th St., 
 Phila. (This is subject to change — I tind 
 it is cheaper to move). 
 
 My professional career as the two 
 former records will show has been in 
 the field of medicine. I am still chas- 
 ing "success." Am still single. Not- 
 withstanding the recent .snow-under I 
 am still of the Harrison order of Re- 
 publicans and believe in Protection as 
 the correct principal, from a business 
 standpoint for Americans. I am a 
 Presbyterian. I am a member of the 
 medical organization in this City and 
 in this capacity have written s„me pap- 
 ers. My travels have been few and not 
 noteworthy. 
 
 I hope to attend both '83's decennial 
 reunion and the World's Fair. 
 
 I see something of Agnew, Bryant 
 and Green. Bryant has been distin- 
 guishing himself by his travels and his 
 lectures. I witnessed and applauded 
 Ned Royle, in his play "Friends" when 
 in this City, a little while ago. 
 
 Parmley, John hhrick. 
 
 Parmley turns a double somersault

 I have been farming here since gradu- 
 ation, having been one year in the 
 State Agricultural College, studying 
 Agiiculture and Chemistry. I married 
 Miss Lucy W. MacDonald in New 
 Brunswick, N. J., April 8, 1885. I 
 throw in with any political party that 
 can do the most good: I always try to 
 put in men and not parties. I am a 
 Free Trader. The greatest issue before 
 this country is "Prohibition, not only 
 ■ Prohibition of alcoholic beverages, but 
 also of anything which is harmful to 
 man." If no other party will take up 
 
-58- 
 
 JOHN EHRICK PARMLEY. 
 
 these measures, such as are necessary 
 for the welfare of the country, I be- 
 lieve in a Third Party doing it, 
 whether Prohibition or not. I 
 voted for Harrison and Reid. Among 
 the greatest dangers which threaten 
 the American people are the attempts 
 of the Roman Catholics to get power, 
 and the clashing of Capital and Labor. 
 To help remedy these, history and ex- 
 perience should be consulted. Once a 
 man, not at all religious, but very ob- 
 serving and practical, said that the 
 Christian religion was the best thing to 
 develop a household into the best and 
 most useful men and women: it is logi- 
 cal to say the same of its effect upon 
 the nation. Greater advances have 
 been made and greater happiness at- 
 tained under the Protestant religion 
 than any other While our Constitu- 
 tion recognizes no particular religion, 
 our Nation does recognize the Protes- 
 tant one. Do not force the Bible upon 
 the people, the school children, for ex- 
 ample, from a sense of religious duty, 
 but because of its worth for making 
 
 good citizens, for its historical impor- 
 tance, for its literary excellence. I am 
 a member of the Presbyterian church. 
 I have written many an article for the 
 papers, among them being the New 
 York Independant, the New York Ob- 
 server, the Paris Visitor, the Country 
 Gentleman, the Jersey Bulletin. I an> 
 a member of the Z. Y. Society, Chair- 
 man of the Christian Temperance 
 Union of this place, teacher and as- 
 sistant Superintendant in the Sunday 
 School, Treasurer and Secretary of the 
 Board of Trustees of the church, and 
 Elder in the church. The only title I 
 have is that of A. M. In my country 
 life I am more likely to cover myself 
 with "dust" than with anything else, 
 especially in a plowed field. My travels 
 have taken me more into the country 
 than into the more crowded places. I 
 have often thought in this connect' on 
 what glorious opportunities for muscle, 
 head, heart! For, as we are able to en- 
 joy the beau.ies of nature, to make the 
 best use of this earth, — to make "The 
 desert blossom as he rose," we fulfill a 
 quite important part of our Creator's 
 plan, since he has said that he "Put 
 man into the garden of Eden to dress 
 it and to keep it." I will attend '83's 
 Decennial Reunion. I will take a De- 
 cennial Record at whatever cost. Why 
 not have the Records oftener? Billy 
 Taylor and Finney are those of the 
 Class of whom I have seen the most: I 
 correspond with Frank Hoskins. 
 Whenever I see the face of an '83 man 
 or hear from him in any way, I am al- 
 ways rejoiced. Oh, classmates, one 
 and all, let us so give ourselves into 
 Christ's keeping that we may see each 
 others' faces, not only in this world, 
 but also in the "Better World!"

 Since receiving Fred's letter, written 
 in Oct. '93 from Boston we learn on 
 good authority, that he has accepted a 
 Professorship at Stamford University 
 at Palo Alto, Cal., and we heartily con- 
 gratulate "Perry" and the class. We 
 always believed Fred was truly a gen- 
 ius and he added to an even greater 
 quality — hard work — and the interven- 
 ing years has brought that balance, 
 toleration and knowledge of men — all 
 of which now make him so well equip- 
 ped. — Success to you in all future ven- 
 tures and undertakings. Letters may 
 reach him at Boston, though when this 
 reaches the Class he may be in Califor- 
 nia, at Palo Alto. He answers thus:

 Petty, Robert D. 
 
 ROBERT L) PETTY. 
 
 Ever since the d;iy that Bob got away 
 with Pore Landis at pitching pennies 
 behind old North, he has been looking 
 for new worlds to conquer, and how 
 well he has succeeded, read his own 
 story, though over modestly told. 
 
 My Dear Kudo: I know you have 
 an abundance of charity otherwise I 
 would not dare to write you, having 
 
 neglected your message so long. My 
 intentions have been good, but I have 
 been so busy that I have even lost the 
 intei rogatories which you sent me; but 
 will endeavor to answer so far as I can 
 recall them. 
 
 My permanent business address is 5 
 Beekmau street, New York City. The 
 main events in my history since 1889 
 are as follows: 
 
 At tha!. time I was a member of a law- 
 tirm and also an instructor in Columbia 
 College Law School. In 1890 I was ap* 
 pointed a professor of private law in 
 that school, appointment taking effect 
 July 1, 1890, and on that day I with- 
 drew from the law firm with which I 
 was connected. The next year I re- 
 signed my professorship, my resignation 
 taking effect July 1, 1891. Upon the 
 organization of the New York Law 
 School in June, 1891, I became one of 
 its professors and still hold a professor- 
 ship in that school. 
 
 Although the New York Law School 
 is not yet two years old, it has 508 stu- 
 dents, making it, with thi exception of 
 the law school of Michigan University, 
 the largest law school in the country. 
 
 Also July 1, 1891, I again entered 
 the practice of the law and became, 
 and still continue a member of the firm 
 of Lamb. Osborne & Petty, 5 Beekmau 
 street, in this city. 
 
 In politics, I am and always have 
 been a democrat. I devote some atten- 
 tion to thi! subject, looking upon it as a 
 kind of past graduate course to my col- 
 lege education. 
 
 In religion I am charitably disposed 
 towards all denominations, but rather 
 inclined toward the Presbyterians be- 
 cause they are such great fighters. 
 
 In economics I believe in gradually 
 abolishing protection and ultimately 
 having a tariff for revenue- only. Am 
 opposed to free silver. 
 
 I am neither married nor engaged, 
 but seem to be destined to go through 
 life alone and to pay only a single car 
 
-56- 
 
 fare. I do not think 1 can give any 
 satisfactory reasons for this lamentable 
 condition and I leave it to you as an 
 expert in matrimony to inform me. I 
 have thought if I ever got time in the 
 future, I would take a month off and 
 study up the characteristics of the al- 
 leged gentler sex, as my investigations 
 have, thus far, been confined to the 
 books in preparing to lecture to the 
 students upon such subjects, as breach 
 of promise to marry, divorce, alimony, 
 •etc. 
 
 P. S. The following letter written 
 by Prof. Theodore W. Dwight in the 
 spring of 1891 will be read with inter- 
 est by every '83 man, for we all love to 
 honor Petty. 
 "To whom it may concern: 
 This letter is written on behalf of my 
 friend, Professor Robert D. Petty, of 
 Columbia College Law School. 
 
 I am thoroughly well acquainted 
 with Professor Petty, as he was under 
 my instruction as a student in the Law 
 School, having graduated with high 
 honor, and having become a prize 
 tutor, and later having been my asso- 
 ciate in instruction. He showed in the 
 Law School, and continues to display, 
 rare powers of acquisition of legal 
 principles, combined with great accu- 
 racy. He is at the same time extreme- 
 ly faithful in the discharge of his pro- 
 fessional duties and devoted ardently 
 to his chosen calling. He is in my 
 judgment a gentleman of rart promise, 
 and likely to combine as he advances 
 in years a comprehensive and broad 
 acquaintance with principles with a 
 thorough knowledge of details. He is 
 eminently worthy of the esteem and re- 
 gard of any who may need his legal 
 services or who may be favored with 
 his friendship. 
 
 Theodore W. Dwight." 
 
 Phillips, Furman S. 
 
 Is a lawyer in Philalelphia. He is 
 unmarried, but says nevertheless "I still 
 
 have my face turned toward the Rising 
 Sun." We presume that is the trade- 
 mark used by the father of his adored 
 one. Is a Republican and takes an act- 
 ive part in politics having made some 
 very effective campaign speeches. "If 
 the Grand Old Party had not been turn- 
 ed down last Fall, I think my chances of 
 getting a rich slice of the spoils would 
 not have been altogether illusory, how- 
 ever, I am quite proud of the record I 
 have made for myself — I am feared if 
 not loved in my little political world." 
 We advise his opponents to get "Ned" 
 Peace to assist them. Phillips would 
 always insist on singing in chapel and 
 "Ned" who sat beside him for the pro- 
 tection of the class shut off the melo- 
 dies of Phillips li vi et armis." 
 
 Richmond, Rev. Chas. Alex. * f 
 
 REV. CHAS. ALEX. RICHMOND. 
 
 "Richie" has been making an honor- 
 able reputation and name for himself 
 in Western New York. Especially has 
 he built up a strong church at East 
 Aurora near Buffalo. He has built a 
 fine new church edilice and a parsonage, 
 
— 57— 
 
 and shows signs of marked gi'owth and 
 expansion in his profession. Univer- 
 sally beloved by his people and all who 
 know him, he thus brings honor to the 
 Class, and we are sure all will be glad 
 to hear him tell of his experiences since 
 we last saw him. 
 
 1. My present address is East Aur- 
 ora, New York. I have lived here ever 
 since I graduated from the Seminary in 
 1888. I am still a Presbyterian minis- 
 ter and still the Bishop of East Aurora. 
 As to success my work here has gone on 
 fairly well and I am contented. What 
 more can a fellow ask. 
 
 I was married on June 4, 1891 to Miss 
 Sarah Cooper Locke at Buffalo, N. Y. 
 Rudd was there, Reynolds and Hodge 
 '86 and Yeomans '88 were among the 
 ushers and the Princeton cheer was 
 conspicuous. 
 
 I am a Republican by birth, educa- 
 tion and personal choice. I believe in 
 "Protection" and "Bill" McKinley, 
 restricted Silver, restricted Immigra- 
 tion, Civil Service Reform and High 
 License. I voted for Harrison and 
 Reid in 1892. 
 
 There are dangers too numerous to 
 to mention threatening the American 
 people. The remedy for most of them 
 is Education upon the sound and pro- 
 gressive principles taught and applied 
 in Old Nassau. 
 
 I am a member of the Monday Club 
 and of the Liberal Club of Buffalo. 
 
 No glory — not much dust. Have 
 written a few magazine articles and 
 lectured at Chautauqua on "Church 
 Music." 
 
 In the spring and summer of 1892 I 
 travelled through Germany, Switzer- 
 land and Italy as far south as Cairo, 
 taking in Venice, Florence, Rome, etc., 
 then up the River through France to 
 England. Saw Rudd's old stamping 
 ground in Edinburgh. 
 
 I will attend the World's Fair D. V. 
 and the Class reunion whether or no. 
 
 There is no Princeton Alumni Asso- 
 
 ciation here but 1 hope we shall have 
 one before long. I have been instru- 
 mental in sending several young men 
 to Princeton. 
 
 Ed Royle spent a day with me and 
 gave me some racy items from his ex- 
 perience on and off the stage. Have 
 seen more or less of our honored Secre- 
 tary and may his shadow never grow 
 less. I am ashamed of my own delay in 
 sending my answers for the record, but 
 Rudd's good nature is proverbial and 
 he will forgive all us miserable offend- 
 ers. 
 
 Prescott, Latimer H. 
 
 We were greatly amused to get Pres- 
 cott's letter of replies Nov. 30th, the 
 very last day named for receiving let- 
 ters. But the promised photo, was nev- 
 er received. This in the light- of the 
 constant and ad-nauseam lectures and 
 prods to duty, proved indeed "how 
 easy to preach, how rare to be consist- 
 ent." Prescott after passing through 
 many business trials seems to "bob up 
 serenely" and is now we trust doing 
 well. His own tale he twists thus: 
 
 1. L. H. Prescott, 30 Vincent St., 
 Cleveland, Ohio. Have lived in New 
 York City, Salt Lake City, Cleveland. 
 
 2. I have followed printing as a busi- 
 ness and as a profession — for several 
 years on the "Cleveland Plain Dealer' 1 
 in various capacities. I am now in the 
 job printing line, under my own name, 
 at the above address. Success hangs 
 swinging in the balance. I've had a 
 "tough" pull and have worn off the en- 
 amel of my front teeth hanging on 
 when I had nothing else to hold with. 
 I think now I have both hands gripped 
 on the oft times Elysian delusion "suc- 
 cess." 
 
 3. I am not married, nor am I, as a 
 Y. M. C. A. young man once told me, 
 "Looking for $200,000 and a bad 
 cough." On the affinity theory we have 
 never met. Of course there is 
 plenty of inducement not to wait for in 
 
-58- 
 
 case of a misfit, Jim Harlan is inChicago 
 where they untie in a few minutes. Day 
 is here too occasionally and intimates 
 something ought to happen. Even Voll- 
 rath had the kindness to invite me down 
 to Bercy, N. Y. while he took the part of 
 the "horrible example" for my instruc- 
 tion and encouragement. But still I 
 wed not and I'll have to confess there is 
 little hope as yet. One thing I am not 
 worrying about the design and inscrip- 
 tion on the class cup. 
 
 4. For a satisfactory answer please 
 call on the next generation or two 
 when "our times" has merged into the 
 mystic realm of ancient history. 
 
 5. To-day I am a Democrat on most 
 public questions and voted for Cleve- 
 land nationally and a "Free Trade" 
 locally. This is an age of commerce 
 and of trade and the nation making the 
 most money (in terms of prosperity) is 
 the nation doing the most business, 
 which means an exchange of products. 
 The nearer this exchanging is left to the 
 absolute free will of the men, individ- 
 uals, citizens, human beings of this 
 earth the less the friction, the more 
 trade, the less conditional elements, 
 the more certain trade follows natural 
 and healthy channels, while, higher by 
 far is the moral standard of the trading 
 nations. To-day every importer is 
 practically regarded as a thief unless 
 proven otherwise. A government has 
 the power may be to raise revenue for 
 other than legitimate expeuses, but not 
 the right; or else such government is 
 not a democracy. Our government 
 cannot be a nursery, for as Mr. Cleve- 
 land crystalized it, the people still 
 support the government but the govern- 
 ment cannot support the people. 
 
 Prohibition I consider an impossible 
 possibilty. Human beings can and 
 could get along without liquor, but 
 they wont. 
 
 My religious affiliations are pretty 
 liberal, of a Congregational tint, and 
 with heart sympathy for the Briggs 
 
 "movement." Hold and alwaj's have 
 that no man could pass through Prince- 
 ton College and accept the so-called 
 "Orthodoxy." He was either, if he did, 
 too cowardly to accept the results his 
 records brought forth or else he lied — 
 by "mental reservation " 
 
 6. Belong to K. of P. and U. R. of 
 that body, holding office of Recorder. 
 Am president of Cleveland Guitar Club. 
 
 This covers the list. Mostly ashes 
 has been my covering so far. 
 
 7. I can tell nothing about the 
 Worlds Fair or the Reunion at this 
 writing. I frequently go right out as 
 far as the sidewalk with the last cent I 
 paid out, just to be with it as long as 
 possible; in church, I sit -near the rear 
 door and study to take no prominent 
 place or position. The gentlemanly 
 'We'll do the rest" nevermiss me when 
 I'm gone. Several churches here are 
 in debt, but I can't help it. I'm with 
 'em. 
 
 8. A "sort of" club, which has not 
 met for years, can't say whether it is 
 high tone, low tone or locality which 
 prevents an occasional love feast. I'm 
 perfectly willing to help organize clubs 
 anywhere I can write diffusely on the 
 "moribund condition of a Brilliant 
 Start," or "Looking Forward, an Elim- 
 ination of Present Deity"— Put me 
 down anyway, "half-tone." What a 
 rogue's gallery we'll have and how 
 every line of life's activity will be rep- 
 resented and typified from Bucolic to 
 to Beatific! 
 
 10. Day is the only classmate I see 
 anything of except the stray sheep — 
 like Roberts — Day is A No. 1 from the 
 ground up and though like me often- 
 times rather discontented may be at 
 our lot and fate, for we are both Geo. 
 Washington's with alumni men hate 
 bets, still we manage to fill our alloted 
 field and occasionally recall scenes 
 pictured on memory's walls when hal- 
 cyon days gave no time for trouble, 
 and the future offered a limitless sea 
 for steering our bark, "success."

 The secretary after consulting coun- 
 sel has been advised that there is suffi- 
 cient evidence to warrant the conclusion 
 that a certain unsigned communication 
 received by him was written by the a- 
 bove, and that answers to the interrog- 
 atories do not come within the Statute 
 of Frauds.

 My present permanent address re- 
 mains the same, viz. : 
 
 Henry Rieman & Sons, 
 Baltimore, Md. 
 
 2. I have resided in Baltimore, Day 
 ton, Ohio, Pittsburg, Pa., Cambridge, 
 Mass., N. Y City and St. Paul. 
 
 3. I have studied law for some years. 
 Have been in the electrical business. I 
 have been fairly successful in what I 
 have attempted to accomplish. 
 
 4. No, I am not married. 
 
 5. Hence, have no children. 
 
 I am a Democrat, because I think the 
 
 LAWRASON RIGGS. 
 
 "Lan-y" is a rising member of the 
 Baltimore bar. He gives the following 
 account of himself: 
 
—60— 
 
 "I have postponed time and again 
 till a more convenient season," sending 
 my answers to your interrogations — " 
 hoping that something out of the ordin- 
 ary might happen to make my responses 
 more than categorical. But luck is 
 against me, just as it was when Mat 
 Goldie pumped George Flemming and 
 found out that I was a party to the 
 burning of Ord Hall. No stray light- 
 ning will come my way though 1 patient- 
 ly keep my little rod aloft; so you must 
 pay the penalty of prying into an un- 
 eventful life, by reading this dry com- 
 munication. 
 
 Since graduation, I have resided con- 
 tinuously in Baltimore — permanent ad- 
 dress, 814 Cathedral Street. I was ad- 
 mitted to the practice of law in '86 and 
 have jogged along in the profession 
 ever since. 
 
 I am unmarried and unable to give 
 any decent explanation for being so. 
 Am a Democrat aud believe in a tariff 
 on imports sufficient only to raise rev- 
 enues to carry on the government eco- 
 nomically administered. Am opposed 
 to free silver and believe in the repeal 
 of the so called Sherman Act. To my 
 mind the Silver question is the most 
 vital question before the country. I be- 
 lieve in the restriction of immigration, 
 though recognizing the great difficulty 
 in framing and administering a proper 
 law. 
 
 I am opposed to Prohibition ("after 
 the class dinner in 1889, a great speech 
 on this subject was made by "Larry" in 
 front of "Old North" at 1 o'clock in 
 the morning,") and consider the Third 
 Party movement fatal to the cause of 
 Temperance Reform. High license 
 seems to me to be the only right and 
 efficient remedy. 
 
 1 have done no literary work nor are 
 my shoulders bent with the weight of 
 honors heaped upon me by fellow citi- 
 zens. 
 
 I certainly expect to be at the Dec- 
 ennial. I would gladly give live dollars 
 
 for the Record, should you decide to 
 publish each man's picture. I do not 
 happen to have a recent photograph of 
 myself at hand, but will send you one in 
 a day or two. 
 
 I have seen but few '83 men in the 
 last year or two, Este Fisher excepted. 
 We have offices in the same building 
 and meet almost daily. I owe D. K. E. 
 a debt of gratitude which I must ac- 
 knowledge here. He keeps me young; 
 when I feel age creeping on me I hunt 
 Este up, and presto! I am a colt again — 
 for Este is certainly growing old, two 
 years to my one. You will have a 
 chance to judge his age in June. Jerry 
 Haxall is here too — married and the 
 head of a family. Dr. Hunter St. John 
 was here part of the winter with his 
 family. He was doing Hospital work, I 
 think, and I saw but little of him. Joe 
 Brattan I frequently meet, but there is 
 no use telling you anything of Joe, for 
 he has had a newspaper training and 
 will do his own "w r rite up.!" 
 
 Roberts, Frank C. 
 
 The same conscientious hard work 
 which placed Frank at the head of his 
 class in College, has given him success 
 and honor in his profession in Philadel 
 phia, aud has also been the quality 
 which he has so generously and un- 
 tiringly devoted to the interests of '83, 
 especially as Treasurer of the Memorial 
 Fund. It seems but natural that the 
 class should do everything they ca to 
 facilitate the work of those who so 
 gladly contribute of their time and 
 sti-eugth and money to the class honor. 
 Frank will speak for himself of his life 
 in general.

 Our "handsome Clair" like so many 
 others of the class who have been iso- 
 lated, shows his old time affection and 
 enthusiasm for College Classmates and 
 interests and looks forward to the time 
 when he shall put another log on the 
 camp tire and lighting his pipe he w T ill 
 read the story of what each man has 
 been doing. We are told that ranch 
 life agrees with him, and that our 
 "heavy-weight Ned Peace" must take 
 his place among the light-weights when 
 Clair is around. 
 
 He caralls his thoughts somewhat as 
 follows: 
 
 I have received several communi- 
 cations from you in regard to the De- 
 cennial Record of '83 and I have in- 
 tended writing you something from 
 
—62— 
 
 time to time, but have put it off hoping 
 that I might scare up something of 
 interest to wri e about, but my life 
 here lias gone on at the same old gait, 
 so I will simply answer your questions 
 and let her go at that.

 7 Last fall 1892, I went hark East 
 for my wife who had spent al! summer 
 there. I met quite a number of '83 
 men whom I enjoyed meeting agaiu 
 very much and I think they were glad 
 to see me, I saw my brother Ed. married 
 also went to Philadelphia to see him and 
 his play "Friends" and while there had 
 a visit with Frank Roberts, and Tape 
 Bryant was kind enough to call on me. 
 Met Billy Scott on the street, Pard 
 Harsha met me by agreement in Phila- 
 delphia and we went to see "Friends" 
 together. He and Ed. and I had a 
 reunion after play. Saw A. C. Ward 
 in Newark a number of times, also 
 Billy Field, called on Crouse and Keller 
 and was glad to find them both pros- 
 perous. Also met Bob Yard one night 
 in New York. 1 was present at my 
 brother Ed's, marriage, to Miss Selena 
 Fetter, after which with my wife I re- 
 turned here. I will not be able to at- 
 tend reunion but may get to World's 
 Fair. Please send me one Record. I 
 send you a picture I had taken in 1888 
 — too late for insertion Clair — and 
 would be much obliged if you would 
 return it, as it is the only oue my wife 
 has and she wants it returned if pos- 
 sible.

 Your Secretary finds it very ditlicnlt 
 
 EDWIN MILTON ROYLE. 
 
 to kuow what to cut and what to re- 
 tain in Ned's most interesting, but 
 lengthy letter. As the only actor in 
 our class, Ned is maintaining the re- 
 markable and illustrous position which 
 he has already made for himself as 
 actor and playwrighter. 
 
 We remember him in college days in 
 "David Garrick." The next year in 
 Edinburgh he acted in a play at the 
 300th Anniversai'y of the University. 
 After pla.ying with "Booth and Bar- 
 rett" and having the usual checquered 
 career, he settled down to produce his 
 own play. We shall quote from one of 
 the many papers a few lines regarding 
 it, and then we let Ed. speak for him- 
 self. A Denver paper says: 
 
 "In these days of hopelessly vulgar 
 and demoralizing farce comedies that 
 are mere sickly imitations of the work 
 of the gifted Hoyt a pure, old-fashioned 
 and clever comedy-drama is absolutely 
 refreshing. Denver is now being treat- 
 ed to just such a play in "Friends," at 
 the New Broadway theater. 
 
-03— 
 
 Without being prudish or in the least 
 goody-goody "Friends" has a moral 
 purpose and a wholesome human one 
 at that. It appeals to the better part 
 of every man's nature without expect- 
 ing him to be a Miss N;incy or a tire- 
 some moralizer. It illustrates in 
 vigorous and manly action that life 
 would scarcely be worth the living if 
 robbed of all, or nearly all, the senti : 
 ment in it." 
 
 Royle thus w riles: 
 
 My dear Ed. I seize the first mo- 
 ment I have had since "the close of my 
 season" to answer your iuterregations 
 There was never much to say of my- 
 self, and as I grow older there seems 
 less and less. I have passed the period 
 of youthful ambition, and hopes and 
 illusions and have realv only one claim 
 to distinction. 1 have in some quarters 
 earned the reputation of being a hard 
 worker I belieyi I need not say that 
 this is quite a new distinction, and one 
 ( f which I feel humbly proud. I am 
 even tempted to believe that I deserve 
 it. Most of the class possibly know 
 that my public offenses have been lim- 
 ited and scarcely worth the recording — 
 with one exception A number of them 
 (class) have suffered at some one or 
 another of the performances of a play 
 entitled "Friends," for this 1 desire to 
 plead guilty and recommend myself to 
 the mercy of the Court, and to that di- 
 vine charity which covers a multitude 
 of sins. 
 
 As it is permitted us to assume that 
 each and all are as interested in our 
 experiences as we are in theirs, a brief 
 history of "Friends" may not be out of 
 place here: 
 
 It was produced originally Aug. 7, 
 1891 at my home, in Salt Lake City, by 
 the Home Dramatic Club (an excellent 
 amateur organization) Mr. Lucius Hen- 
 derson, assisted me and the two perfor- 
 mances in Salt Lake City argued en- 
 couragingly for its future. The follow- 
 ing spring— May 9, 18»2 it received a 
 
 New York production at the Standard 
 theatre. The opening night was neither 
 a success, nor a failure: though to my 
 thinking, it was nearer the latter than 
 the former. The performance the s< c- 
 o-id niijht was a very different thing. It 
 convinced me that whatever might be 
 the merits or demerits of my play, it 
 would enjoy some lease of life. The N. 
 Y. run entered the extreme hot weather 
 of the summer ami then we rested un- 
 til Sept. We have just closed a season 
 of between 30 and 40 weeks. Wc are 
 already booked for an extended tour 
 next season. It has taken me longer to 
 say this than was necessaiy. 
 
 I have something more interesting to 
 relate — I have joined the respectable 
 portion of the class. It is not neces- 
 sary for me to add that I am married. 
 I neve' - thought I could do it, but the 
 lady was sorry for me— and there you 
 are! It was one of these — "15 minutes 
 for the ceremony, married while you 
 wait:" sort of weddings. I have dis- 
 covered that it did the business just the 
 same. 1 was married to Miss Selena 
 Fetter, of Louisville, Ky. a most ac- 
 complished and estimable young lady, 
 October 16, 1892, at Christ Church, 
 New Yoik City by the Rev. Dr.Shipman. 
 Many '83 men were present. I am sure 
 I have the date right for I copied this 
 from ni3' scrap book. To tell you the 
 truth, I hadn't had any rehearsal, aud 
 when the minister took the center of 
 the stage (to which I am somewhat 
 partial myself), and all the stained 
 glass window light, and did most of the 
 dialogue, I simply coining in now and 
 then for a "feeder", (as we say) I got 
 very nervous and came very near los- 
 ing my voice, — about the only thing 
 1 havn't lost since I became a manager, 
 I had genuine stage fright. I tell you 
 a J. O. or a Lynde Debate or a "first 
 night" is nothing to it. However, Rev. 
 Dr. Shipman was a pretty fair prompter 
 ami I pulled through. The only thing 
 I forgot, I believe, was to pay the 
 
—64— 
 
 minister, but as he couldn't take the 
 ceremony back, and as Rudd had led 
 me to believe that the Clergy hate to 
 be paid for their holy offices, I didn't 
 let it worry me. After a wedding din- 
 ner at Delmonicos (where I take my 
 meals regularly now) we took our 
 wedding journey. 
 
 Let me now answer your interroga- 
 tions. 
 
 1. Care of Win. R. Wilder, 45 Cedar 
 St. New York City. 
 
 2. Actor — always been regarded as 
 a "good man gone wrong." 
 
 3. Am I? See above! 
 
 4. Has hopes. 
 
 5. No politics. Nothing but debts. 
 No views except as to silver: view of 
 that very limited. Dangers'/ that the 
 public taste will be corrupted by cheap 
 and meretricious plays. Remedy? 
 Liberal public prtronage of "Friends," 
 and future productions by author of 
 same. Religious affiliations'? Actors 
 and Mormons. 
 
 6. Filled no office — not even the box 
 office. 
 
 7. As I travel over 14000 miles a sea- 
 son, will spare you! Hope to emerge 
 from rest and seclusion of summer with 
 Anatomy of new play: so go to Salt 
 Lake at once to work. More than 
 sorry can't reune with you all. 
 
 10. "So modest," I know you are 
 personal, so modestly close. 
 
 Rudd, Rev. Edward Huntting.* 
 
 We were told on "Class Day" that in 
 the case of Shelby the "Non Fgo" was 
 inconceivable. Our Class Secretary 
 desires to make the "Ego" impossible 
 and by some conjuring Jeckyl-Hyde 
 combination to let his impersonal self 
 do the communicating through the 
 medium of Finney or Petty. 
 
 Rudd is so elated over the advent of 
 a fine vigorous boy, who was born Feb. 
 7, 1893. Albion, N. Y. that his smile will 
 reach from the Junction lo the Campus. 
 In his veins runs some of the old aneeS'

 REV. EDWARD HUNTTING RUDD. 
 
 tral blood and spirit of Williams and 
 Yale and Princeton and in his name as 
 well, he combines these solid old insti- 
 tutions, not to mention marked paternal 
 and grand-paternal qualities. Young 
 Henry Williams Dwight Rudd therefore 
 presents himself as a candidate for 
 "half-back" of the varsity and "Secre- 
 ary of the class of 1915." 
 
 Of course anything else that Rudd 
 may write is of secondary importance. 
 However he rehearses some of the 
 events of these ten years. We glean 
 that after leaving the shades of old 
 Princeton he traveled in Europe for 
 four months "doing,' Switzerland on 
 foot in company with Hoskius, Royle, 
 and Billy Scott This "tramping tour" 
 has already passed into history as 
 famous. Spending that year as a stud- 
 ent in the University of Edinburgh and 
 NeAv College, he returned and after 
 three years in Princeton Seminary, 
 graduated in 1887. Called to the 6th 
 Presbyterian Church of Albany, N. Y. , 
 
 /h-J*^*^£*/eJ &,"/&* ,+f il^r,, *&,& /*/?* 
 
 cJLa^U. OvLzr: Jr*7-

 he spent nearly four years there, when 
 he accepted a call from the 1st Presby- 
 terian church of Albion, N. Y., a beau- 
 tiful town on the Niagara Falls Division 
 of the N. Y. Central R. R., where he 
 now l'esides. 
 
 On Sept. 20, 1887, he married Miss 
 Mary Winslovv Dwight of Pittstield, 
 Mass. 
 
 While in Albany Rudd organized a 
 Princeton Club, and is now trying to 
 form one to comprize western N. Y., 
 centering at Rochester and Buffalo. 
 He believes with many others that it 
 is this kind of work which is adding to 
 the numerical and permanent strength 
 of Princeton. 
 
 Rudd says he is a staunch Republi- 
 can because he believes it to be the 
 Party of Progress, Power, Prosperity, 
 Popularity, Push, Peace, Political Pre- 
 science and Painstaking Penetration, 
 although at intervals and iu certain 
 sections the G. O. P. may need to be 
 politically and persistently purged and 
 purified, still in the main it is the dom- 
 inant force in all the best civic and na- 
 tional progress thus far attained. He 
 does not believe in Prohibition as a 
 Third Party Movement, but would first 
 restrict, then prohibit the sale of 
 liquor. It is this universal "compro- 
 mise" with sin and evil, which makes it 
 insolent, imperious, defiant, conscious 
 of its power, and is hoodwinking the 
 American people. We need more 
 men who will "stand four squai'e to 
 every wind that blows." He believes 
 the liquor forces, which are anti-home, 
 anti-honesty, anti-purity, anti-strong- 
 manhood should be met by a great and 
 mighty fearless public sentiment which 
 shall express itself in votes, which 
 shall be non-partisan, but once and 
 forever anti-liquor. Prohibitionists 
 and many temperance people have 
 been thoroughly intemperate iu lan- 
 guage, in methods, in wordy resolu- 
 tions, in narrow bigotry,— while a larg- 
 er class have been "over temperate" in 
 
 the use of their zeal, enthusiasm, good 
 sense, courage and money, so that 
 while they have been musing the ene- 
 my's fires have been burning. This 
 one evil "drink" is the storm centre of 
 a score of other evils which threaten 
 us The national and individual con- 
 science needs to be quickened by re- 
 generation." He believes the spirit and 
 principle involved in the Geary act to 
 be right, however unfortunate or 
 wrong the act itself miy prove. "We 
 must restrict. We have reached the 
 point where 'self-preservation' is abso- 
 lutely necessary. Free silver is as Un- 
 american as it is unsafe. 
 
 As to personal honors, glory, etc., 
 Rudd is not sure that in its final analy- 
 sis there is very much of that commod- 
 ity iu the sense the world at large 
 views it. "The absolute, unselfish, sin- 
 cere, Chiist-like performance of life's 
 duties will alone bring genuine honor." 
 He has had pleasant recognitions giv- 
 ing him places of trust. As Moderator 
 of tin Presbytery of Albany, as Stated 
 Clerk and Treasurer of Niagara Pres- 
 bytery, as one the Commissioners or 
 Board of Directors of Auburn Theolog- 
 ical Semiuary, and last but not least 
 Pastor over one of the most delightful 
 churches iu western New York. He 
 believes no minister in '83 has a more 
 kind, loyal and noble-hearted people 
 than he. They are just completing a 
 parsonage for him costing nearly $15- 
 
 000 which will make a most complete 
 and harmonious church property. 
 'Pull ye latch string ye '83 men en 
 route to the Falls and Chicago." He 
 has traveled iu most of the States of 
 the Union and expects to attend the 
 World's Fair and be at the Reunion. 
 
 Rue, Frank B.*t 
 
 Peter says under date of April 15, 
 1890: "Your kind remiuder is received. 
 It's hardly necessary for me to say that 
 
 1 have neglected to answer similar ones, 
 you are aware of the fact. I will not 
 
-06— 
 
 explain, but simply ask your pardon, 
 feeling sure from the kindness of your 
 note that it will be granted. I have 
 very little to tell about myself. Have 
 tried about about three years of loaf- 
 ing in that time, doing a very little at 
 farming, a little more at the law, but 
 nothing suited. For the past two and a 
 half years, however, I have clerked it 
 pretty steadily, and am now keeping 
 books in the bank, the name of which 
 [Atlantic Highlands ^National Bank] is 
 at the head of this letter. This has last- 
 ed with me for over half a year and 1 be- 
 gin to feel quite settled. Am rather a- 
 fraid, though, that I shall always be a 
 rover. The married state aud I are 
 still far apart. The ladies are very nice 
 and I admire them greatly, but what 
 keeps one don't often keep two, or pos- 
 sibly more. That is all, Ed., except 
 that I thank you for your kindness in 
 continuing to remind me, instead of be- 
 et ming disgusted and giving me up.'' 
 
 Russell, James C. 
 
 Jim jabs an old meat skewer in a 
 quar_ of ink aud trails it along as near 
 as we could make out about as follows: 
 
 1. My present address isHorseheads, 
 N. Y. I accepted a call to the Presby- 
 terian church of this village seven years 
 ago. 
 
 2. And while I have made no great 
 stir, I have succeeded in my work here 
 to a reasonable extent, and our church 
 has doubled its members and the build- 
 ing has been enlarged aud greatly im- 
 proved. 
 
 3. I am married. I found my help 
 meet in my own congregation live years 
 ago — Miss M. Eda Sears. 
 
 4. We have two children, a boy and 
 a girl. Henry Sears Russell, aged three 
 years and Marjorie Russell aged one 
 and a half years. Aud as both their 
 parents are good looking and as they 
 resemble both, you can be assured they 
 are models of beauty. 
 
 JAMES C. RUSSELL. 
 
 5. I do not "belong" to any political 
 party. I voted last time with the pro- 
 hibitionists because I believe the is 
 sues they represent are the greatest be- 
 fore the country. 1 consider the liquor 
 traffic the most damnable curse in our 
 country, and the greatest obstacle to 
 the progress of the kingdom of God. 
 Her :'s my hand with all the sympathy 
 and strength I can crowd into it for 
 auy party or organization that stands 
 up for the home, the church and the 
 state against the saloon, the dram shop 
 and the distillery. 
 
 I believe in a limited tariff. I think 
 immigration for the uext teu years 
 should be greatly if not entirely sus- 
 pended. This country is sick with in- 
 digestion. 
 
 6. I have written quite a large num- 
 ber of pamphlets (sermonic) and pos- 
 sess quite a library of unpublished ser- 
 mons. They can be purchased at reas- 
 onable rates. Apply at my study. [We

 7. I traveled across the continent 
 last spring. I stayed a day and night 
 with "Pard" at Minneapolis. [ didn't 
 find him improved any either in appear 
 ance or conduct. He has quit smoking 
 cigars and taken to driving fast horses. 
 
 We drove around the city "with 
 every hoof off the ground and tail over 
 the dashboard " After I left Minnea- 
 polis I met "Jai Fiuuie," who exhibited 
 the same freshness as in other days. I 
 spent about a week in Portland. Then 
 went down into California for a week. 
 Ou my way home [ stopped a few days 
 at Salt Lake City and Denver. 
 
 Russell, Wm. E 
 
 Rutan, Frederick N. 
 
 WM. E. RUSSELL. 
 
 "Lord John" cannot be found. He 
 has probably "chewed up the tag," by 
 which he might be identified. He is 
 fully written up in the last Record how- 
 ever and that must suffice. He was at 
 Birmingham, Ala. at last accounts. 
 Will some one send his address. 
 
 FREDERICK N. RUTAN. 
 
 'Fred" sends three closely written 
 pages in answer to the interrogatories 
 and a better illustration of evasive an- 
 swering it would be difficult to find in 
 the archives of Chancery. Aftercareful 
 consideration the only definite informa- 
 tion we are aide to extract is: That he 
 has changed in the last ten years, to 
 wit, has lost his politics and most of 
 his religion, is "chief among sinners," a 
 man married," "a sturdy handsome 
 boy" and lives in New Jersey. 
 
 Dear Classmates: Ten years make 
 a great change in a fellow. Thank 
 Heaven! I hear you say. But will 
 you hear my confession! Were it not 
 for seeing an account of Princeton news 
 in the papers, I fear I might forget our 
 Alma Mater. You know that a child 
 can forget his mother, but is it not 
 worse if a mother forget her child ? Cer- 
 tain it is that 1 am less to my college 
 than it is to me. Herein 1 confess with 
 St. Paul that I am chief among sinners. 
 Some slight consolation too, is to be a- 
 
-G8— 
 
 mong sinnei's and not to be the only 
 oue of the bad class. I am glad to tell 
 yon that my present permanent (?) ad- 
 dress is Montclair, New Jersey, where 
 you will be heartily welcomed, any who 
 care to call. But what do you care 
 about the places in which my residence 
 has been since graduation? How shall 
 I answer about "success?" In fact how 
 can I answer it? If as you may well 
 suspect, I have failed will it be pleasant 
 foryou to hear it or for me to tell it? In 
 case of any even small degree of suc- 
 cess, surely the Committee by its genial 
 Secretary cannot be so silty to as expect 
 a fellow to blow his own horn any more 
 than to pull his own nose. As I am a 
 man married and there is no "thusness" 
 about it, only happiness and a sturdy, 
 handsome boy, perhaps this brief "not- 
 ice" will satisfy the class as it ought to 
 satisfy any one who is reasonable. 
 
 In 1892, I voted for the President! 
 Now tell meye conundrum crackers for 
 whom was my ballot cast? I tell you 
 frankly I have no politics. That is one 
 of the changes. You need not conclude 
 from this that I have no religion, What 
 religion is left from my studies in Union 
 Seminary assures me that the same dan- 
 gers threaten the American people that 
 annoy every man of us : the dangers 
 attendant upon selfishness, greed, in- 
 temperance, ignorance and lawlessness. 
 The only remedy is in Him who cures 
 souls not by might nor by power but by 
 spirit. Spiritual force alone can combat 
 successfully the power of materialism. 
 Having no hope of enjoying the Re- 
 union next June let me send this letter 
 as a word of loving greeting to all the 
 boys of old Eighty-three. May the mus- 
 ty old town be painted this year 
 neither red nor black but simply white. 
 
 We believe, however, that such senti- 
 meuts as Fred expresses-are unworthy 
 the "true Princeton Spirit" in a 
 man, and we would heartily advise 
 getting into thorough ''touch with Class 
 and College interests. Fred, we are 
 glad to put you among the "Excep- 
 tions." 
 
 St. John, Hunter, M. D.*| 
 
 HUNTER ST. JOHN, M . D. 
 
 "Remus has ignored our circulars be- 
 cause, we presume, he regarded our 
 conduct as impertinent in pretending we 
 did not know all about him and never 
 heard of his famous "CATARRH 
 CURE." We have seen his "ad." in a 
 Pittsburgh paper. A harrowing series 
 of cuts illustrating the ravage of cat- 
 arrh, exoites our compassion. The vic- 
 tim is shown in the first cut to be one 
 who "has never been sick in his life" 
 and says "I am too tough to get any- 
 thing." The last cut represents all that 
 is left of him a ghastl.y skeleton and we 
 receive the information that "Death 
 ends his suffering." Further the "ad" 
 informs us that certain death awaits 
 everv one who has catarrh unless he is 
 saved by "Dr. St. John's Catarrh Cure." 
 We are justified in concluding from the 
 wonderful results ascribed to this cure 
 that it will furnish a new and improved 
 brand of Schneid(erian) membrane to 
 the victims of sternutatory convulsions; 
 new lining supplied to the stomach, 
 
-69- 
 
 lungs, throat and old ones repaired as 
 good as new, orders from the country 
 supplied "by mail"; Epithelium restor- 
 ed on the original pattern: Spheroidal, 
 granular, ciliated, etc., coughing and 
 sneezing stopped entirely or reduced 
 to harmonic principles. The "ad" in 
 closing informs us that "Doctor St. 
 John's remedies cure at home, cure 
 while you work, cure while you sleep." 
 (We presume that this song is sung by 
 the rescued to the time of "What shall 
 the harvest be.") "Dr. St. John can 
 be consulted free of charge every day at 
 his office 7 Sixth Avenue, Corner of 
 Wood Street, Pittsburgh, Pa., from 9 
 a. m. to 9 p. m., Sundays included. A 
 free test of the remedies to all who ap- 
 ply. Patent applied for in the Office 
 of the Commissioner of Patents at 
 Washington, D. C." We can forgive 
 the Doctor for ignoring us considering 
 that in the time requisite to answer our 
 interrogatories he may save numerous 
 victims. Surely all the Doctor's class- 
 mates will be glad to learn that among 
 the great benefactors of the human 
 race, such as Keeley and Mrs. Winslow, 
 the future historian will write the name 
 of "Doctor Hunter St. John." 
 
 Scott, William C. 
 
 "Billy" is still too busy with his stud- 
 ies aud the practice of his profession, 
 the law, to hunt around for a wife. 
 Two leap years have passed since '83 
 and it is strange 
 
 Some maiden fair with blood of bluish hue. 
 Did not the handsome William find and woo. 
 
 He has so many requisites of a good 
 husband that we regret to see so much 
 good raw material going to waste. 
 Take a day off, Billy, aud make some 
 girl happy with the title of Mrs. ex- 
 A'ldei man Scott. Since leaving college 
 Scott's permanent address has been No. 
 2026 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Pa. At 
 the graduating exercises of the law 
 school of the U. of Pa., he delivered the 
 oration and in '88 took the degree of L. 
 
 WILLIAM C. SCOTT. 
 
 L. M. at the same institution. He ex- 
 pects soon to becomePh. D. In '87 he 
 wrote a paper on "Trusts for Accumul- 
 ation," which took the first prize given 
 by the law academy of Philadelphia. 
 It was published in the Bl-mkstone 
 Publishing Compauy'sseries of law text 
 books in 1887. William was elected a 
 member of the common council of Phil- 
 adelphia in April, 1887, by the Republi- 
 can party. He served in that capacity 
 two years, was a credit to the party, 
 elevated the moral tone of the city and 
 only failed to be re-elected by refusing 
 to stand in with the ward heelers. Billy 
 thinks Ned Royle made a mistake in 
 going on the stage. "He is a brilliant 
 fellow and it seems such a pity that the 
 world should lose such a- man." He, 
 Billy, evidently classes the theatrical 
 profession and "nunneries" in the same 
 category. 
 
 St. John, Randolph.*! 
 
 Ran. may still be addressed at No. 
 57 Conception street Mobile, Ala. It is

 RANDOLPH ST. JOHN. 
 
 reported that owing to a disagreement 
 between Ran. and his mother regarding 
 the eligibility of a certain young lady 
 to become his wife, the said Ran. is now 
 rusticating in Anniston, Ala. We are 
 extremely sorry not to be able to give a 
 fuller report of these, our first pair of 
 twins, and hope that they will give 
 some account of themselves before an- 
 other Decennial. 
 
 Shanklin, Robert F. 
 
 No wonder Bob wi'ites "uneompiain- 
 ing as far as this world's affairs go," for 
 we see by his business card that he is 
 a member of the firm of Goudy, Shank- 
 lin & Co., 84 La Salle St. Chicago, 
 Mortgage Bankers and he adds — "Es- 
 tates Managed." Keen Bob. You 
 ought to be A.l.at "Managing Estates." 
 Success to you Bob. You're worthy of 
 it. He says: 
 
 My Dear Rudd: I send you herewith 
 my photograph for the Record as re- 
 quested by you, and though cognizant 
 
 of the fate of the maiden who offered 
 her face as her fortune, nevertheless I 
 have so little to tell, and so little time 
 to give an extended answer to all of 
 your queries, that I will take nvy 
 chances and "travel on my face." I 
 am neither so gray as Harlan, or portly 
 as Tom Wannamaker who called upon 
 me yesterday, nor so paternal as Billy 
 Osborne who is the father of three, as 
 he informed me on a recent visit I am 
 unmarried, unengaged, and uncom- 
 plaining as far as this world's affairs 
 go. In politics, I am a Democrat. 
 Once a Democrat, always a Democrat, 
 has been my motto. 
 
 I hope to get to the reunion if for no 
 better reason than to "take care of' 
 Harlan. Should I not be there, dear 
 Rudd, attend to this matter for me. 
 Just express him to the above address 
 and I will be his guardian at this end 
 of the line. 
 
 With kindest thoughts for all of my 
 classmates, and the hope that I may see 
 many of them here during the World's 
 Fair season." 
 
 Bob's photo, came too late thereby 
 proving that he is the same old "late 
 Mr. Shanklin." 
 
 Shelby, W. K. 
 
 Attorney at law, Lexington, Ky. 
 
 Have you heard the latest? Well, 
 here it is, I hope. I trust none of the 
 fellows will treat more shabbily than I 
 the Decennial Record. If our old 
 Prophet should get in after me, let me 
 know it, just for revenge. Below you 
 may find answers to some of your ques- 
 tions. 
 
 Since June, '83, I have resided in 
 Lexington, Ky., except from Dec, 1889 
 to Feb., 1893, during which interval I 
 resided at Middleborough, Ky., and 
 Big Stone Gap, Va. Permanent ad- 
 dress Lexington, Ky. 
 
 Taught nearly five years, practiced 
 law about four years. Caught "Hail 
 Columbia" in an effort to climb to for- 
 
—71— 
 
 tune on a "live wire," i. e., the great 
 boom of 1889-90. 
 
 Not married. Bob Shanklin, in Feb- 
 ruary, '83, proposed a resolution against 
 conditions, especially the one called 
 matrimony. I seconded the motion. 
 Consistency, thou hast kept us single; 
 thou art a fraud — may be. 
 
 Democrat. Am opposed to war tar- 
 iff, the-bloody shirt, the force bill, de- 
 magogue pensions, aud to the party 
 that produced unnumbered Flannagans. 
 I am in favor of the party that would 
 remedy some of these evils, and that is 
 led by the great American, the great 
 statesman, the great man, Grover 
 Cleveland. I think the American peo- 
 ple are doing pretty well at present; 
 able to sit up again and take a little 
 nourishment." (Shelby carefully ab- 
 stains from giving his views as to that 
 "nourishment" which is so popular in 
 the land of the "star-eyed godess," but 
 we suppose he does not approve of the 
 doctrine "that in Kentucky the whiskey 
 is so good that "intemperance is a vir- 
 tue." See nominating speechs at Chi- 
 cago convention.) 
 
 '•Have been a consistent enemy to 
 "dust" of all kinds. Escaped being 
 mayor of a town by twenty-six votes, 
 and graduated in politics at a single 
 season. 
 
 Have travelled little. Went to the 
 Chicago Convention of 1892 as an alter- 
 nate from Virginia. 
 
 Having again come within a radius of 
 the Cincinnati Alumni Association I ex- 
 pect to sing "Old Nassu" hereafter 
 with the highfed pork-eaters. 
 
 Have not had a picture taken since 
 '83, but greatly enjoyed looking at the 
 "mugs" of all the dear boys when I ran 
 across my album the other day. 
 
 I saw Frank VVadleigh winding 
 among the Virginia mountains last year 
 with that smooth and business-like 
 tread which carried him through col- 
 lege at eighteen. Ed Royle is not so 
 quiet. But the people talk right back 
 
 at him, and shout at him "more, more!" 
 He made a great hit in Lexington with 
 his excellent, bright play. "A man he 
 seems of cheerful yesterdays and con- 
 fident to-morrows." Hurrah for our 
 actor- boy. 
 
 If I should not be able to attend the 
 decennial reunion of our class, may I 
 be remembered among "the absent but 
 ever loyal," 
 
 Send me acopy of the Record, fully 
 illustrated, even to the second genera- 
 tion. 
 
 Smith, Samuel Irwin. 
 
 Born Nov. 21, 1859. Died at Dayton, 
 Ohio, Sept. 29, 1885. 
 
 Spier, Robert W. 
 
 "Bob" tells us that he is with E. D. 
 Shepard & Co., Bankers, No. 3 Broad 
 St., N. Y. City. His residence is at So. 
 Orange, N. J. He spent three years in 
 sheep ranching in Kansas, until 1886, 
 then entered an insurance office for five 
 years and since then he has been with 
 above firm. Says he is "succeeding" 
 in maintaining health and happiness. 
 What better can any man acquire than 
 that Bob? He is a Cleveland democrat; 
 believes in low tariff, civil service re- 
 form, and repeal of the Sherman silver 
 act. Bob expects to be at the Decen- 
 nial, and is a faithful member of the 
 Princeton Club of N. Y. 
 
 "Hodge is the most modest man in 
 this vicinity. Rumor has it, however, 
 that he has never lost a case where less 
 than $50,000 was involved." 
 
 When the Secretary lived in Albany 
 "Bob" used to "drop in"quite frequent- 
 ly and was always the same genial, en- 
 thusiastic and pleasant Bob as of yore. 
 
 Sweetman, James T. Jr. M.D. 
 
 Sweetman has been holding the fort 
 in Albany and Troy, and trying to min- 
 
imize the death rate, aud was so suc- 
 cessful in depleting the population at 
 Troy that he looked for more world's 
 to conquer, and located at Ballston 
 Spa., a bubbling suburb of Saratoga. 
 He effervesces as follows: 
 
 1. Ballston Spa, N. Y., for past year 
 and a half. Previously in Troy, N. Y. 
 for 3 years aud the remainder of time 
 in Washington, D. C. 
 
 2. The life of an "M. D." Have 
 been reasonably successful although 
 have had to change residence owing to 
 health of better half. 
 
 3. Very much so— May 8. 1889, at 
 Washington, D. C, to Miss Susie Piatt 
 Boyd. 
 
 4. We have not thus far been bless- 
 ed. 
 
 5. I am a straight Republican, a pro- 
 tectionist. I believe in restricted Im- 
 migration. Think that Prohibition has 
 no place properly in politics. I voted 
 for Harrison and Reid. I am a Presby- 
 teiuan. 
 
 6. Have filled office of Secretary and 
 Treasurer of Medical Association of 
 Troy and am a member of New York 
 State Medical Association, and of Uto- 
 pian Club (social) of Ballston. Also a 
 member of the Board of Trustees of the 
 Presbyterian church here. Not much 
 dust aud very little glory. 
 
 7. Have not traveled As to the 
 World's Fair and Decennial Reunion — I 
 fondly hope. 
 
 8. Of Alumni Association of Albany 
 etc. 
 
 9. I should feel that I must have a 
 Record whatever the cost. 
 
 10. I am afflicted in being separated 
 from all members of the class so that 
 for the past year I have seen none of 
 them. 
 
 Note: "Spiciness" is not in my line 
 although I heartily wish that the Rec- 
 ord may be successful enough to satis- 
 fy the most exacting. 
 
 Smyser, John Kieman. 
 
 Johnny writes shortly after the 
 Princeton-University of Pennsylvania 
 foot ball game of last fall. And though 
 he did prepay the postage, yet "paper'.' 
 was so scarce with him, that he covered 
 both sides of the sheet with exceeding- 
 ly diminutive writing* He starts off in 
 this pathetic strain. "Now that we as 
 Princeton's Alumni of Philadelphia are 
 convalescing from the severe shock re- 
 ceived (financially aud otherwise) at 
 the hands of the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania it seems well for me to take this 
 moment of semi-rationality to answer 
 your very inquisitive circular. 
 
 My exit from the Mauheira game was 
 similarly hasty to my precipitate flight 
 across the campus with "Borgy" at my 
 heels in Soph. year. Or as Bob Shank- 
 lin termed it, 'Hector and Achilles 
 around the walls of Troy. 
 
 You remember in the Sexennial Re- 
 cord I was fortunate enough to get on 
 the last page in the form of 'Addenda," 
 and have since been congratulating my- 
 self that you had kindly not delayed 
 one page farther aud put me among 
 the '"Errata." I much prefer to be an 
 'Addenda" to an "Errata". 
 
 Since '83 I have lived in Philadelphia, 
 graduated from the Philadelphia Col- 
 lege of Pharmacy in '87 and since then 
 have been the proprietor of two very 
 thrifty Pharmacies. 
 
 From a financial stand-point I have 
 succeeded very well, matrimonially not 
 so well — neither married, engaged nor 
 in love, and even the "thusness" is veil- 
 ed in obscurity. I will consequently 
 omit the names and dates of birth of 
 children. 
 
 Your next question is one that space 
 only holds me in restraint. I am a 
 Pennsylvania Republican, not in favor 
 of Prohibition as a party issue (though 
 some of our party here down liquor 
 very hard); am strongly in favor of 
 pi'otection and particularly the restric- 
 
—73— 
 
 tion of Immigration. Immigration 
 bx-ings to our very door an influx of 
 ignorance, degradation and depravity. 
 These invaders have no comprehension 
 of the principles of liberty or duties of 
 citizenship; or worthy aspirations: they 
 have a low plane of existence and far 
 lower standard of living and social 
 ideas. To conserve the social and econ- 
 omic well-being of the nation is one of 
 the highest obligations of responsi- 
 ble citizenship. Hence to allow this 
 new engorgement of repugnant immi- 
 gration is false humanity and false pol- 
 itical economy. 
 
 What tender memories and recollec- 
 tions, what kindly sympathies and 
 warm attachments the writing of this 
 letter brings to me. The contrast of 
 reckless boyhood to sober thoughtful 
 manhood. My heart goes out to the 
 Class of '83 with pleasant anticipations 
 for the reuniting and the consequent re- 
 trospect of ten years past. To be with 
 you on that day shall be my great pleas- 
 ure, and I only regret that there are 
 some who must necessarily be among 
 the missing. 
 
 To you personally, Ed, my kindest 
 regards and best wishes. Though you 
 are not aware of the fact, you are the 
 first man in '83 with whom I became 
 acquainted on entering college. 
 
 Taber, Sydney Richmond. 
 
 Very clearly the "Prize" is awarded to 
 Sydney for the best letter. Its merit 
 speaks for itself. He says: 
 
 Dear Rudd: You wish to know 
 "where I am at" geographically, pro- 
 fessionally, matrimonially, politically 
 and spiritually? Well I, shall gladly 
 tell you for the sake of doing my part 
 towards making the record complete. 
 
 I spent the summer of '83 in traveling 
 through Europe. I then entered 
 Columbia College Law School and after 
 graduating in '85, made, in company 
 with Morgan, an extended trip to the 
 Pacific coast, including visits to Yo- 
 
 SYDNEY RICHMOND TABEK. 
 
 Semite Valley and Yellowstone Park. 
 Returning Eastward, I stopped at 
 Chicago and was so much impressed 
 with the possibilities for success in that 
 enterprising place that in October of 
 that year I pulled up stakes in New 
 York and settled in the City of the 
 Winds. After serving my apprentice- 
 ship in the office of a leading law-firm, 
 in the spring of '88 I announced to an 
 eagerly expectant public that I was 
 "open for busiuess" "on my own hook." 
 Since then I have been serving those of 
 the public that have been pleased to 
 avail themselves of said announcement. 
 My present office is No. 32 Montank 
 Block. A law publisher is now putting 
 through the mill a hand book that I 
 hope will prove useful to practitioners 
 of commercial law, but as this is not a 
 matter of special interest to laymen of 
 '83 who so largely predominate, I shall 
 not go into details. 
 
 I have re-visited my old haunts in 
 the East a number of times and have 
 crossed the Atlantic thrice, — in 1888 
 traveling through England and Scot- 
 
-74— 
 
 laud, and in '90 paying a flying visit 
 to England and Ireland. Until my 
 marriage, Shanklin, Harlan aud I kept 
 bachelors hall. The important event 
 referred to took place on October 18, 
 1890. It was in Grace Church, Orange, 
 that Miss Julia Biddle Cox gave me her 
 hand. We passed the following winter 
 in Chicago, but in the spring of '91 I 
 invested in a little country home in one 
 of the suberbs on the wooded bluffs 
 overlooking Lake Michigan, where we 
 have since lived and shall, I hope, con- 
 tinue so doing for a long time to come. 
 The Brambles, ' Lake Forest, Illinois, 
 is therefore my answer to the inquery 
 for a "permanent address." Under 
 these circumstances it is superfluous 
 for me to add that I expect to attend 
 the World's Fair. I fear, however, 
 that my great desire to see and hear 
 and touch the '83 men to be congregat- 
 ed at Princeton in June will not be 
 gratified. 
 
 The Princeton Club of Chicago is one 
 organization that makes itself heard 
 about once a year, on the occasion of 
 its annual bauquet or of a visit from 
 the College glee club. Harlan and I 
 have had the misfortune to be members 
 of the executive committee for several 
 years past. It is uphill work to fill a 
 bauquet hall or, still worse, a concert 
 hall, in a city where Princetonians are 
 very few. Shanklin Morgan and I met 
 with the latter difficulty three years 
 ago, and no doubt the same experience 
 awaits the present committee in con- 
 nection with the approaching concert 
 on December 23d. 
 
 In order to reply to interrogatory No. 
 4 with that degiee of exactness that 
 would interest the class, I must beg 
 that the time for this answer be extend- 
 ed — till, say the reunion in June. 
 
 Question No. 5 opens a broad field. I 
 would like to wander over it at length 
 but shall try to heed your warning to 
 be brief I have never sold ray soul to 
 any political party- I am uncom- 
 
 promising believer in the right of pri- 
 vate judgment aud in the application 
 of reason to things political. Names 
 are to me mere idle things, I vote for 
 what seem to me the best men, uuder 
 whatever banner they may march, — 
 the men that are best fitted for their 
 respective offices and that give greatest 
 promise of accomplishing reforms. 
 And God knows our country is badly 
 enough iu need of reforms. The great- 
 est political need, to my mind, is to get 
 lid of "politics." Of its so called 
 "issues," I believe that its foremost in 
 importance are the tariff, civil service 
 reform, pensions, immigration and the 
 labor problem. I am convinced that 
 "protection" is in theory, without 
 authority, and in practice, is iniquit- 
 able and unjust, and I hope to see tax- 
 ation reduced to a revenue basis. I 
 want to see the civil service reform 
 idea extended to every elective as well 
 as appointive office in the land. The 
 present wholesale robbery of taxpayers 
 under the guise of pensioning worthy 
 veterans is, to my mind, a gigantic 
 national disgrace. Nothing it seems 
 to me, could exceed the stupidity of the 
 present system bj' which the seeds of 
 desease and revolution are being in- 
 cessantly and indiscriminately dumped 
 upon our shores. I long for the mil- 
 enial day when this country will be 
 emancipated from the despotism of 
 trades unions, and I sometimes wonder 
 whether another "emancipation proc- 
 lamation" will not be necessary before 
 that day is reached. For the reason 
 that Mr Cleveland's election seemed to 
 give better promise of accomplishing 
 at least some of these reforms, I voted 
 for him a fortnight ago, although 1 had 
 and have a profound admiration for 
 Gen. Harrison as a man and as a states- 
 man. Prohibition, as a third party 
 movement or any other kind of move- 
 ment, I do not believe in at all. It is, 
 in my opinion, unwarrantable on prin- 
 ciple, and experience has proven its 
 
-75— 
 
 impracticability. I rather wondered 
 at first why you placed "politics and 
 religious affiliations" in the same 
 category and interrogatory, but after 
 writing my above views, the reason for 
 it appears. The one naturally runs 
 into the other. Political life and re- 
 ligious life are, or ought to be, both 
 struggles for what is best. The con- 
 nection between them is especially close 
 from my own point of view. For I 
 insist upon the same independence in 
 the one case as in the other. I con- 
 tinue a member of the Presbyterian 
 Church, recognizing the expediency of 
 church organizations and being in 
 sympathy with it in regard to essentials; 
 but I am heartily out of sympathy with 
 many prominent Presbyterian men and 
 dogmas. Neither, by any means, is 
 that church the only one with which I 
 have "affiliations." I am an Episcopalian 
 by marriage, so to speak, In fact, I 
 am ready to affiliate with any creed, 
 organization or movement that com- 
 mends itself to reason and makes for 
 righteousness. I have a conviction, 
 which has been steadily deepening dur- 
 ing the ten years since finishing our col- 
 lege course, that after all, the whole end 
 and aim of the course of life is to develop 
 Christlike character. The means neces- 
 sarily vary with the individual; whatever 
 means accomplish this end are, to my 
 mind, the right ones: It is taking the 
 Christian world a long time to get back 
 to Christ's creed, on which not only 
 hung all the Law and the Prophets but 
 on which now hang all the learning, 
 of Philosophers, Priests and Preachers. 
 For this reason that the Brotherhood of 
 Christian Unity seems to have already 
 got there. I have joined that body. 
 Perhaps I cannot better indicate in a 
 word my "religious affiliations" than 
 by saying that Drnmraond has, to my 
 mind, preached the greatest sermon in 
 the world simply because he has struck 
 to the very heart of the greatest theme 
 in the world. 
 
 The word "sermon" brings me to my 
 senses. Have I preached my congrega- 
 tion to sleep? Well, my "lastly" will 
 be a mention of the '83 men that I have 
 heard from or seen since graduation. 
 
 Hodge attended my wedding. Har- 
 lan was there too; in fact, he stood up 
 with me. Of him I have seen more 
 than any of our other men. I fancy 
 that your anticipation in regard to the 
 men that would be too modest to men- 
 tion their own honors will prove well 
 founded in his case. He will probab'y 
 mention that he is practicing law, but 
 he will fail to add, with great success 
 already and with flattering prospects 
 for the future. Much less will he men- 
 tion the fact that he is being promin- 
 ently talked of as the successor of Judge 
 Blodgett, whose retirement from the 
 United States District Court in Chicago 
 leaves vacant a most responsible and 
 honorable position. Harlan's candi- 
 dacy is endorsed by some of the leading 
 attorneys at the bar. By the time the 
 decennial appears the President will 
 have made the appointment. If this 
 crown should not descend upon the 
 head of this son of '83, the class will 
 remember that into such an appoint- 
 ment usually enter unfortunately many 
 considerations besides a man's merits. 
 
 I have seen less of Shanklin since he 
 forsook the law and since I forsook 
 bachelorship. However I understand 
 that success is smiling upon his new de- 
 parture — the business of "mortgage 
 banker" — I am disposed to condone his 
 desertion; and when he forsakes the 
 ranks last named, (though as yet I see 
 no sign) I shall forgive him altogether. 
 
 I recently received an enjoyable visit 
 from Lewis. Over my hearth we had a 
 small reunion of our own, indulging in 
 reminiscences of all the men and profs, 
 of Whig and Ivy, &c. 
 
 Speir also passed through Chicago 
 last spring, looking well and prosper- 
 ous, — the reflection, undoubtedly, of 
 
—76- 
 
 his success iu handling city and county 
 bonds. 
 
 Alexander will probably speak for 
 himself from Paris. Iu case he should 
 not however, I shall mention that he is 
 connected with a prominent law office 
 there. He is acting counsel of the 
 American Legation and is deep in in- 
 ternational law and other questions of 
 interest. He will shortly open a simil- 
 ar office in London. 
 
 Colt, the champion globe trotter of 
 the class, looked smiliug and stout as 
 he flew through Chicago last year. 
 Riggs used occasionally to delight the 
 eyes and hearts of '83 men here, but re- 
 C3ntly we have seen nothing of him. 
 
 I received a hearty visit from Hewitt 
 during the summer. Through his ap- 
 pearance of being a much occupied bus- 
 iness man that he is in fact, I discover- 
 ed the same old Charlie. Agnew, 
 Peace and Perrine have also flitted 
 through Chicago at different times. 
 
 Morgan I used to see frequently until 
 his removal from Chicago to New York 
 in the spring of '91. Mrs. Morgan and he 
 are deeply missed by many others than 
 the '83 men here. To them St. James 
 Mission owes very largely its growth 
 from a struggling little band up to a 
 useful, permanent organization furnish- 
 ing Sunday services and week day 
 classes and clubs. 
 
 I found Osborne in his New York 
 law office three years ago, a much" oc- 
 cupied man of affairs. Field I ran 
 against in London four years ago. 
 
 If Roberts were not sure to give an 
 account of himself I would tell you 
 what I learned while we chatted to- 
 gether in my office last week. 
 
 Of course you can count on me to 
 take a copy of the Record, with or with- 
 out pictures, half tone or whole tone. 
 I am looking forward to it eagerly. 
 
 My hearty regards to all the men that 
 you will meet at the reunion.

 "Billy" writes that he is "in the 
 transportation business of John H. 
 Stariu at Pier 18, North River, plod- 
 ding along from morning to uight act-

 am not very much occupied in my par- 
 ticular department. I am not married. 
 I am not engaged. I have not joined 
 any society or enterprise, or covered

 to get all the good I could from life 
 from day to day. 
 
 I send you the latest photo of myself 
 taken by an amateur under flashlight. 
 As to political preferences, I might be 
 described as a Democrat iu national

 views, anti-Hill in New York State and 
 anti-Tamany in New York City. 1 am

 higher the better."

 Thompson Chas. V.* 
 
 Although Vauce writes late, May 19, 
 '90, he makes up a chatty and enter- 
 tainiug letter, which we give below: 
 
 "After graduating I went to Ger- 
 many and studied at the University of 
 Jena, where in the old days Goethe and 
 Schiller and other pleasant people 
 made merry. Then came a bit of wan- 
 dering through Europe. After the 
 loafing came the 'everyday work' act. 
 I went on The Tribune, of Chicago. 
 After two years I went back to Europe, 
 Germany and then back to America for 
 a few weeks. Chance dragged me over 
 to London again. I worked on English 
 newspapers; wrote bad books and 
 translated good ones; found that the 
 peuman's trade is much the same the 
 world over. Having found this I came 
 back a few months ago to my first love. 
 The Tribune . So here I am in Chicago * 
 — and the World's Fair is coming. 
 'What have I done for Old Nassau?' 
 Very little, I fear; and yet this: under 
 all circumstances, and in all places, I 
 have said the good true word for 
 Princeton. I ran across Bickham of 
 '84 the other day. We boxed for a bit 
 and I knocked him out. In order to 
 do it I dislocatod a thumb, but then 
 one would do a deal more than that to 
 keep up tin' well won prestige of '83," 
 
 * Later. Thompson had moved to 
 New York when we last heard and 
 was with the "Mail and Express."

 Towle, Henry A, 
 
 Harry gives us a homeopathic close 
 of himself as follows:

 tice medicine and can't complain as to 
 success. Was married April 18, '88 to 
 
 HENRY A. TOWLE. 
 
 Miss Annie A. Hauck. Two daughters, 
 Mai'y Imogeue, born Feb. 6, '89; Lucia,

 Catholic in religion. Am a member of 
 Newark Jeffersonian Club and "Holy 
 Name Society" of St. Patrick's Cathed- 
 ral. Expect to attend World's Fair 
 and Decennial. Should like to see or- 
 ganized an Alumni Club for Northern 
 New Jersey with headquarters at New- 
 ark." 
 
 Trainer, "William M. 
 
 Is a lawyer engaged in practice at 
 Steubenville, Ohio. He was married 
 April 20, 1892, at Steubenville, Ohio, 
 to Miss Mary H. Hagan. He writes 
 that he is a "Democrat. Free trade 
 means fair tirade. Our Grover Cleve- 
 land has expressed my ideas (and his) 
 better than lean. In my opinion no 
 dangers threaten the American people 
 that the American nation cannot meet 
 and overcome in less time than blatant 
 alarmists can tell about it. My relig- 
 ion has a Congregational tendency.

 lication called the 'History of the Up-

 Stenbenville Lodge, B P. O E. Was 
 elected Justice of the Peace in this city, 
 in April 1891 by 143 votes, overcoming 
 an adverse party majority of 600." 
 
 Updike, Hartley T 
 
 After graduating from Uniou Theolo- 
 gical Seminary iu '86,Updike went west 
 as a Home Missionary and brought up 
 at Popular Bluff, Mo. Since May 1, 
 1889, he has been pastor of a church at 
 Lebanon, 111. He has visited most all 
 the large cities of this country, but has 
 not been out of the United States. He 
 is an occasional contributor to the 
 "Mid-continent." Uppy was always 
 slow of speech. He seems also to be 
 slow to act, for in the Triennial record 
 he was reported ''engaged" but up to 
 last June he was not married- He 
 deemed it necessary to state that he 
 had no children. From Jim Russell's 
 letter we surmise that "Uppy" has 
 doubled up since June, 1889. 
 
 Volrath, Edward. 
 
 Volrath volleys thus: 
 
 DearRudd: So you want to "Quiz" 
 me — air myself in an "interview" as it 
 were! Well, I've no particular objec- 
 tions, seeing that any exceptions on my 
 part to your interrogations will be 
 promptly sustained by the Judge in the 
 case. 
 
 My address is Bucyrus, Ohio, having 
 resided here since graduation. Profes- 
 sion — Law. 
 
 EDWARD VOLRATH. 
 
 Married June -27, 1888 to Miss Millie 
 W T ise at Bucyrus. Children, two, Jean- 
 ne born October 25, 1889; Edna born 
 May 29, 189i. Both daughters. "Just 
 as sweet as can be"— inherit traits and 
 qualities of character from their mother. 
 
 Iu politics a Republican— why?— be- 
 cause I could not be a consistent and 
 patriotic citizen if my political views 
 were not in harmony with the princi- 
 ples hitherto advocated by the National 
 Republican party. Believe in protec- 
 tion to American industries; am oppos- 
 ed to free silver as well as unrestricted 
 
-79- 
 
 immigratiou, aud am fully in accord 
 with the National Republican platform 
 as adopted at Minneapolis. Henee 
 don't favor "third party" prohibition 
 any more than I relish democratic as- 
 cendency. The dangers confronting 
 our people are numerous. The first 
 year of the incoming democratic ad- 
 ministration will sufficiently define 
 them. [We think some of our M. Ds. 
 hail better prescribe an anti-dyspeptic 
 for Volrath; he seems to have it pretty 
 bad.] 
 
 Am a member of the Luthern church. 
 
 I haven'! entered the tield of letters, 
 preferring the sword instead, — hold the 
 rank of Major, and command the seer 
 ond battalion, 8th Regiment Infantry, 
 Ohia National Guard. 
 
 Expect to see the World's Fair — took 
 part in the Military Display at the de- 
 dication last mouth. I want to attend 
 '88's Decennial Reunion if possible. 
 
 Vulcheff, Rev. Mindo G. Ph. D. 
 
 It is rather pleasant to realize that 
 our class is doing valiant service in 
 all parts of the world. Bulgaria is 
 seeing a new light, because here and 
 there are stationed such men as Vul- 
 cheff. He has already done good ser- 
 vice in the cause of truth and education 
 as his letter modestly suggests. We 
 wish him God Speed and success in his 
 work: He writes: 
 
 "Sistove, Bulgaria, March 13, 1893. 
 My dear Rudd: The sexennial record 
 was so interesting and 'phunny' that 
 ail the boj's would be supposed to 
 respond when data was required at a 
 later time yet I was among those de- 
 linquents who were blessed with a val- 
 entine. Excuses were lame indeed yet 
 you may understand when I say that 
 this year I am in charge of our mission 
 school here, with intiuite duties to per- 
 form. To questions four and five have 
 nothing to say except that I am a mem- 
 ber of Bulgaria Mission Conference. 
 Since the last report 1 have published 
 
 MINDO (i. VULCHEFF. 
 
 a text book on International Law, and 
 translated Druminond's 'Greatest Thing 
 in the World,' a copy of the second 
 edition of which I forward you, At 
 present I have to translate and com- 
 pile a number of pages for our monthly 
 mission magazine. Since writing last 
 have twice visited Constantinople as 
 well as Bucharest, Antwerp and cros- 
 sed the mountains (Balkans) at Shipka 
 Pass Am still the only Princeton repre- 
 sentative in this section of the world 
 and have not seen any of my classmates 
 for a long time. Had thought of visit- 
 ing the Exposition but find I cannot 
 leave my work for a long enough time. 
 Behold my phiz which I enclose. It 
 will be good to see the faces of the boys 
 and to see what changes time hath 
 worked with them. I may say that we 
 are meeting with success in all senses. 
 Best remembrances to you all. Long 
 live '83. 
 
 P. S. My wife will be in America 
 on a visit this summer. Please let her

 know the price of the record, and she 
 will forward the money for the same. 
 Her address will be Hoosick Falls, N. Y.

 THOMAS B. WANAMAKER. 
 
 It is no pleasure to the Secretary to 
 score "delinquents" year after year. 
 Nor is it agreeable to "write up" men, 
 who seem deliberately to ignore all re- 
 quests and appeals for assistance. We 
 desire to believe Wanamaker has some 
 interest in the class as a class, even 
 though his thorough indifference might 
 prove the contrary. The hard work 
 which some of the class officers and 
 many private members devote to class 
 interests would at least seem to be 
 worthy of courteous recognition and 
 brief reply. For some reason Tommy 
 withholds all of these. 
 
 Few men in the class have it so clear- 
 ly within their grasp, by reason of abil- 
 ity, position and means, to add 
 strength and permanency to our class 
 organization and esprit du corps 
 than Wanamaker, and yet few have 
 
 done so little. Verily, the student iu 
 college is the father of the type he will 
 be later. We suppose Tom is still liv- 
 ing in Philadelphia and is of course 
 financially successful. His history is 
 given in the Triennial and the photo 
 here given is that of 1H83.

 AARON C. WARD, M. D. 
 
 Newark is at last assuming a healthy 
 state because of the presence of such 
 "life preservers" as our talented Acey. 
 
 Those of us who were present at the 
 Sexennial Reunion re-call Acey's stir- 
 ring speech as he accepted the two cups 
 for his twin boys presented by the old 
 "S. S. S." Ever since then he has 
 been trying to keep the baby popula- 
 tion of Newark intact, and with what 
 success, he leaves us to judge from his 
 letter.

 Whitlock, Frank L. 
 
 Whitelock's Son is to become the 
 proud possessor of the title "Class of 
 '83 Boy," so Frank writes us in the full 
 happy vein. 
 
 Enclosed please find photos of my 
 girl and boy. You already know their 
 ages. I have lost the Class questions. 
 I seriously object to having my photo 
 taken. You have no doubt heard of the 
 actress who made her fortune on the 
 stage by the most liberal display of 
 limb and yet permitted a slight injury 
 on her knee cap to grow mortal from 
 nervous dread of having it examined 
 by a physician. My face has not been 
 my fortune, although it has been liber- 
 ally displayad at town meetings, in the 
 
 Court House, in Conventions and in 
 the Halls of Legislation and 3 T et, if you 
 believe me, I have never been able to 
 throw off that nervousness attributed 
 to ugly people. Hence my objection 
 to haviug my counterfeit presentment 
 appear in the Decennial Record. 
 
 Since my last communication to the 
 Class I have paced my path in leisurely 
 manner. The political revolution in 
 our state in 1890 proved a frost — a kill- 
 ing frost — to my political ambition. A 
 recent issue of The State newspaper 
 says: "The best recommendation to 
 the "dominant element" is not to know 
 the name of one's grandfather, to call 
 oneself a wool-hat, one gallus boy and 
 to have been guilty of some act which 
 has made one a social outcast." This 
 I believe to be true and instead of re- 
 pining, my friends tell me, I should 
 feel honored by the "dominant ele- 
 ment's" disfavor. I still count myself 
 a Jeffersonian democrat of the Grover 
 Cleveland stamp. I am not a prohibi- 
 bitionist, never was and never expect 
 to be. I believe liquor to be an evil not 
 in itself but only in so far as it is made 
 the innocent victim of the beastly ap- 
 petite of a glutton and gourmand and 
 and the sooner we made the intemper- 
 ate use of whiskey a crime punishable 
 in like manner as larceny the better it 
 will be for the interest of society. lam 
 not a Sentimentalist on this question. 
 
 The other questions I have forgotten 
 and if you want categorical answers to 
 them you will please send me another 
 copy. 
 
 Wilson, Prof. Andrew W., Jr. 
 
 Andy at Saltsburg, Pa., seems to be 
 doing some good work for Princeton as 
 the following relates: 
 
 2. Am runuiuga Preparatory School. 
 Prepared 12 for college last year, nine 
 of whom go to Princeton. One of 
 them took the Pittsburgh prize for best 
 examination. Our school is considered 
 a success. Although only four years

 ANDREW W. WILSON, JR. 
 
 old, last year we cleared money above 
 interest on investment and expenses of 
 living. 
 
 3. Am married and the happy event 
 took place Aug. 22, 1989, at Indiana, 
 Pa., to Bessie Gladys Sansom. 
 
 4. Children two. Sarah Sansom 
 Wilson, June 7, 1890, Indiana, Pa. 
 Anna Graham Wilson, Nov. 8, 1891, 
 Saltsburg, Pa. 
 
 5. Democrat, because I believe it is 
 the party of the people, is opposed in 
 general to monopolies, has a better 
 idea of political economy, and after all, 
 principally because it had the good 
 sense to nominate Grover Cleveland 
 the man in American polities today. 
 Dangers are perhaps ignorance and 
 bribery. Remedies, education, civil 
 service reform and Australian ballot. 
 Am a Presbyterian Elder. Have just 
 returned from the Synod of Pa. 
 
 Received the degree of Ph. D. from 
 Washington and Jefferson College. 
 Our school ball nine defeated every cob 
 lege and school team it played, includ- 
 
 ing Washington and Jefferson, and 
 Western University. The battery will 
 soon be in Princeton. 
 
 7. Expect to attend World'sFair and 
 '83's Decennial. 
 
 8. Yes. Western, Pa. Club.

 CHARLES G. WILSON. 
 
 Our sprinter gives the signal to his 
 nimble thoughts and off they go at a 
 lively an interesting rate: 
 
 1. Rose Hill, Citrus Co., Florida, in 
 which place I have resided since I left 
 Princeton, except first six months, was 
 then in Palatka, Fla. 
 
 2. Have been making a liviug and 
 an orange grove, at neither of which 
 did I make a "team". Have no one to 
 blame but myself however and will try 
 to make a better show in the future. 
 
 3. Have that pleasure. Jennie L. 
 Kininger, Oct. 20, 1885, at Bowling 
 Green, Ohio. 
 
 4. Margaret, January 16, '87 at Rose- 
 hill, Fla. Abby, July 23, '91 at Ells- 
 
—83- 
 
 worth, Kansas. Both inherit the ami- 
 able disposition of their mother, togeth- 
 er with the superior good looks of their 
 father, and from them both possibly 
 their alertness of mind and body, at 
 least these girls can be in many more 
 places in a given time than is at all con- 
 sistent with the general welfare. 
 
 5. Am a Prohibitionist. 1. For 
 consistancy sake. I must vote as I 
 pray. 2. America for Americans and 
 so I am a protectionist. 3. No Free 
 Silver unless adopted by the World. 4. 
 Immigration should be controlled and 
 regulated so as to keep out all but best 
 class of immigrants. 5. Certainly be- 
 lieve in prohibition as a third party 
 movement. Believe the Prohibition 
 party will be the dominant one within 
 the next decade or two. 6. Voted for 
 Bidwell and Cranfill. 7. Chief danger 
 to the American people is that they are 
 growing away from God and the Christ- 
 ian Sabbath. The negro question is 
 still a vital question no nearer solution 
 now than in 1860, though on different 
 lines. 8. Am not able to apply any 
 remedy, though I hope much good may 
 come for the alleviation of both these 
 evils thi'ou.h the Prohibition party. 9. 
 Presbyterian. 
 
 6. Joined the Masons. More dust 
 than glory. And the dust don't seem 
 to add to my bank account either. Am 
 living a quiet uneventful life down here 
 among the pines, and orange groves. 
 Am not even Captain or Colonel aud so 
 have concluded to emigrate, and stir up 
 a little life. 
 
 7. Haven't travelled except a trip to 
 Colorado or the Rockies where by the 
 way I blew in a little "dust" into a hole 
 in the ground "called a vein" which 
 hasn't panned out at all. 2. Hope to 
 attend the World's Fair and '83 Decen- 
 nial. 
 
 8. No. "Crackers" don't educate. 
 
 9. Should like to have the Record 
 with the fellows pictures. Count me 
 in. 
 
 10. See very few '83 men, in fact few 
 Princeton men. 
 
 Run onto Baldwin once in a while. 
 He is doing finely at Palatka.

 out the following:

 Cleveland's principles of tariff reform. 
 (a.) The tariff is an indirect tax that 
 falls chiefly upon the poor, (b.) War 
 tariff in time of peace is injustice, (c.) 
 The present tariff is not needed to fos- 
 ter infant industries, but is an imposi- 
 tion fostering monopolies. Believe in 
 repeal of the Sherman act. A lie can 
 never beget good though it be told upon 
 a silver dollar. Voted for Cleveland. 
 Am a Baptist. 
 
 6. Have had articles published in 
 newspapers; have been elected a mem- 
 near of boards, corporations, etc. 
 
 7. Expect to go to the World's Fair. 
 Am not certain that I cau get to the 
 Decennial Reunion. 
 
 8. Am not a member of any Alumni 
 Club. There is none near at hand. 
 
 9. I favor omitting pictures from 
 the Record. If this is done I shall take 
 a copy. 
 
 I am so far removed from the mem- 
 bers of '83 that I seldom have the pleas- 
 ure of seeing any of them. The last 
 one with whom I had any conversation 
 was the ubiquitous and experienced 
 Duaue. The privilege was profitable.

 Nothing will rejoice the hearts of '83 
 more as they come back to old Prince- 
 ton than to see Ira enjoying his old 
 time health and strength and once 
 more taking up his business life. It 
 seems too good to be true. He touches 
 an electric button and then asks the 
 Secretary to do the rest as follows: 
 
 My dear far-too-good-natured Secre. 
 tary Ed: I feel that I owe you an 
 apology for my delay in answering 
 your list of questions for our Decennial 
 Record, but 1 hope you will accept my 
 apology and answers with more alacri- 
 ty than your delinquent friend and 
 classmate has shown in answering 
 them.

 cess in moderation, and one or two 
 other things known as ''knock downs" 
 but I am still in the ring 
 
 5. Am an Independent Republican. 
 In regard to the "Prohibition" or 
 "Third Party" movement I have to say 
 that when they become a "Temperance 
 Party" and I mean "Temperance" in 
 its broadest application, they will have 
 my vote — but not before. I was un- 
 able to vote in 1892: Am a member of 
 the Presbyterian church. 
 
 6. Have written a little for publica- 
 tion, but nothing of much moment. 
 
 7. In December '91 I came to Pitts- 
 burgh to take up my work as well as I 
 could where I left off in the spring of 
 '88, and I have found no reason to re- 
 gret the step. I have made occasional 
 visits to Princeton, and I am looking 
 forward with the greatest pleasure to 
 another visit there this coming sum- 
 mer. I would not miss the '83 Reunion 
 if I could help it for a house and farm. 
 There is too much pleasure in the re- 
 collections of our "Sexennial Reunion" 
 
-85— 
 
 to permit me to leave anything undone 
 that would make possible my being with 
 you in June. 
 
 Zapf. John M. 
 
 9. I shall take a Class Record in ei- 
 ther case. 
 
 I hope to see all of the members of 
 the Class of '83 now living, in Princeton 
 in June. 
 
 JOHN M. ZAPF 
 
 This quiet and modest ex-member of 
 the class, has resided in Princeton, his 
 college home, and desires a voice in the 
 Record, as follows: 
 
 1. My present and permanent address 
 is No. 24 Dickinson St. Princeton, N. J. 
 where I have resided since graduation. 
 
 1. Have led a retired life. 
 
 3. 1 am not a married man, neither 
 am I engaged, why this thusness I can 
 not say. 
 
 5. I am a Republican and Protection- 
 ist. Do not believe in Prohibition as a 
 "Third Party" movement. Voted for 
 Harrison in 1892. I am a Presbyterian. 
 
 7. It is doubtful if I attend the 
 World's Fair, but shall be on hand at 
 83's Decennial Reunion. 
 
 8. I am not a member of any Alumni 
 Club. 
 
 Evans, Rev. Chas. A. 
 
 On account of sickuess Evans was 
 obliged to leave College and subse- 
 quently enter and graduate with '84. 
 He, however, was granted his diploma 
 by the faculty to date back to '83, and 
 desires to be considered a member of 
 the class with which he spent three 
 years, hence we insert his letter here. 
 He is building up a large and pros- 
 perous church in the city of Roch- 
 
 UEV. CHAS. A. EVANS. 
 
 ester. We rejoice with him in the re- 
 turning strength of his wife who was 
 so critically ill during the past winter. 
 The class will remember that he mar- 
 ried a sister of Borgmeyer. Evans re- 
 cites his eai'eer thus: 
 
 1. "Present permanent address, 297 
 Mt. Hope Ave., Rochester, NY. 
 
2 Was licensed by Presbytery of 
 Chicago March 29th, 1886 and ordained 
 to Presbyterian ministry Dec. 15th of 
 the same year by the Presl)3 7 tery of 
 Detroit. At present pastor of Calvary 
 Presbyterian church Rochester, N. Y. 
 
 3. Married May 13th, 1886 to Miss 
 Dena L. Borgmeyer at Rahway, N. Y. 
 
 4. Louis Alexander Evans was born 
 March 12th, 1890. At present writing 
 his height is 37 inches, weight 40 pounds 
 "Golden Hair," dark brown eyes (like 
 his mother.) Very intellectual, but 
 not sedate (like his father.) Expect to 
 enter him at Princeton soon. He is 
 already iu training for the football 
 team. 
 
 6. Was born and bred a Republican, 
 but do not at present favor a high pro- 
 tective tariff. A protective tariff has 
 done much to increase the national 
 wealth, but that wealth has been con- 
 gested instead of evenly distributed. 
 Most of the "infant industries" are 
 able to go alone without the aid of a 
 protective tariff. Under it competition 
 has been abused and it is the duty of 
 good government to insure free 
 competition and overthrow monoply. 
 
 I do not believe in "free silver coin- 
 age." In regard to immigration, I be- 
 lieve a change in the naturalization 
 laws necessary. Foreigners should be 
 
 required to remain a certain length of 
 time without the right to the ballot, 
 until the principles of our government 
 can be instilled into their minds, as our 
 own sons must wait before being vest- 
 ed with the right of sufferage. I be- 
 lieve the "Greary law" to be a mistake, 
 as too stringent. If the bars are put 
 up at one ocean they should be put up 
 at the other also. Every immigrant 
 must become a true American. I do 
 not believe in Prohibition as a Thii'd 
 party movement. 
 
 6. Have written no books, but have 
 done some editorial work. For two 
 years was principal of an academy- 
 Have grubbed industriously iu the dust 
 and found it necessary to do some 
 "blasting" among the rocks, but have 
 accumulated little of "dust" or "rocks" 
 and no glory whatever. 
 
 7. Spent about a year in Europe for 
 travel and study. Do not at present 
 expect to attend the Columbian Expo- 
 sition but may surrender at the last 
 moment and go with the crowd. Hope 
 to attend '83's Decennial Reunion. 
 
 8. Not at present a member of an 
 Alumni Club, but would be glad to aid 
 in organizing one in Western New 
 York. 
 
 9. Must have a copy of the record. 
 
Non-Graduate Members- 
 
 Note. But few of the Ex-members have written the Secretary. We add their 
 address as we knew it in 1889. Please advise the Secretary of any facts you may 
 have regarding any classmate. 
 
 Barclay, J. M. 
 
 Has sent no report, but we believe he 
 is still cashier of the Barclay National 
 Bank of Greensburg, Pa. 
 
 Beattie, W. C. 
 
 Was a hard student, an earnest 
 Christian, and had a very lovable and 
 kind disposition. He would no doubt 
 have been one of our brightest clergy- 
 men had not death claimed him on 
 April 2, 1882. 
 
 Bell, Wallace M. 
 
 We think he is still iu Chicago at 238 
 LaSalle St., but would be glad of any 
 information. 
 
 Black well. Rev. Alvin. 
 
 Graduated with '84. Preaching at 
 Bridgeville, Del. 
 
 Burt, .James E. 
 
 Was with us but a short time in Fresh- 
 man year. Teaching in Asbury, Park, 
 N.J. 
 
 Cooper, G. P.

 '85 to victory, graduated with '86. Ad- 
 dress, Delaware Block, Kansas City, 
 Mo. 
 
 Dodd, Daniel, Jr. 
 
 No report. Last accounts he was in 
 Schenectady, N. Y., with Edison Elec- 
 tric Company. 
 
 Gill, T. A. 
 
 No report since graduation. We 
 learn that he is a Baptist clergyman 
 and preaching at West Park, N. Y. 
 
 Gilmore, H. P. 
 
 No report since graduation. Letters 
 addressed to him at 81 Clark St., Chi- 
 cago, are returned. 
 
 Gulick, William H. 
 
 Gulick writes under the spell of a 
 happy honeymoon, so we withhold our 
 blue pencil from breaking any of the 
 charms: 
 
 Dear Rudd: If Job had been a mem-

 WILLIAM H. GULICK. 
 
 ber of '83 and had been elected Sec'y of 
 same do you think he would have sus- 
 tained his reputation? I feel that I owe 
 you au apology for not answering your 
 circular letter long before this, and 
 trust that there are very few, who have 
 served you the same way. 
 
 In regard to my history since grad- 
 uation, would say, that after being de- 
 clared a "civil engineer" by "The John 
 C. Green School of Science," and after 
 having received the "all important" (?) 
 "DIP. ."signed in full by names, a large 
 majority of which, I must confess, you 
 fail to find connected with any great 
 engineering feats, unknown and un- 
 heard of, in the engineering world; 
 with this "skiu" (sheep's I believe) I ex- 
 pected to get a position at once, but 
 ' O! what a diffei'ence in the morning." 
 I think I showed it to one person, who 
 informed me that a "week's work" was 
 worth more to him as a recommenda- 
 tion, than all the degrees Princeton col- 
 lege could confer in the next twenty- 
 five years. "Ye gods of v* ar" — Well! I 
 sent my "Dip" home, and with a letter 
 
 of introduction from a friend of my 
 family, I received a position with the 
 Phoenix Iron Co., of Phamixville, Pa., 
 and have been located with them and 
 the Phoenix Bridge Co. of the same 
 place, almost continuously ever since. 
 My business has taken me into almost 
 every Slate and Territory in this coun- 
 try, but mainly in the South and West 
 I have been brought in contact with 
 many graduates of Princeton and have 
 received numerous courtesies at their 
 hands. 
 
 I am not taking much interest in pol- 
 itics, have written no books, articles, 
 etc., and consequently, have not cover- 
 ed myself with dust or glory. 
 
 Have joined the Masonic Fraternity, 
 and numerous clubs of a more social 
 order. 
 
 Was married on Feb. 8, 1803 to Miss 
 C. E. Dismant of Phoenix, Pa., and have 
 just returned from a two week's stay 
 in St. Augustine, Florida. 
 
 My views on Free Trade and Tariff 
 would naturally be affected by my per- 
 sonal interest in the Iron trade, and 
 consequently Avould lean toward a high 
 protective tariff for all home industries. 
 I believe and practice temperance in all 
 things, but never expect prohibition or 
 the Prohibition party to amount to any- 
 thing in this country. In fact I think 
 they are growing weaker every 3 r ear. 
 
 I consider the "Almighty Dollar" in 
 the hands of our politicans. one of the 
 greatest dangers threatening our na 
 tion. 
 
 In conclusion let me commend our 
 long-suffering Secretaiy for his noble 
 effort in behalf of a suitable history of 
 '83. 
 
 Gulick, W. R. 
 
 No report since Triennial. 
 
 Hardcastle, A. 
 
 Hardy left the class and entered '85 
 later but did not graduate. He is at 
 Goldsboro, Md. practicing medicine. 
 
-89- 
 
 Ireland, Gilbert W. 
 
 Is perhaps still herding cattle iu Tex- 
 as, but we have not heard recently. 
 
 Kirby, William B. 
 
 Our newspaper member from Jersey, 
 the State where the bookmakers are 
 said to run the Legislature, and the 
 race track magnates to subsidize the 
 press, furnishes his own copy: — Kirby 
 has shown himself one of the most loyal 
 and interested of the Ex-members of 
 '83. 
 
 "My life in the last ten years has 
 been uneventful so far as matters of in- 
 terest to others are concerned. A 
 lengthy sketch of it would be found 
 flat, stale and unprolitable. I have for 
 some years been city editor of the 
 Bridgeton Evening News and corres- 
 pondent for outside papers, daily at my 
 post and endeavoring to discharge my 
 duties as faithfuly as possible. Have 
 reported weddings, bad sermons, wres- 
 tled with editorials, investigated mur- 
 ders, gunned for "advs." and covered 
 pretty much everything connected with 
 the daily routine of a newspaper in a 
 thriving town of 12,000 inhabitants. 
 
 Was for two years City Clerk. Am a 
 vestryman of St. Andi'ew's Protestant 
 Episcopal church and a member of the 
 "boy choir." 
 
 Three little fairies grace my home, 
 but none of them can vote the Demo- 
 cratic ticket. Daughter No. 1 is Jennie 
 Bowen Kirby, born in February, 1888; 
 No. 2, Marguerite Lee Kirby, born in 
 July, 1890; No. 3, Marie Louise Kirby, 
 born in October, 1891. I believe strong- 
 ly in Native Americans, am not struck 
 on immigration. In fact, I think it the 
 greatest evil of our country to-day. 
 
 Wishing the Secretary all manner of 
 success with his important and arduous 
 task, I am, etc. 
 
 Kribbs, C. E. 
 
 No report. Perhaps at Edenburg, Pa. 
 
 Lee, W. H C. 
 
 Lee was practicing medicine at Boon- 
 ton, N. J., when last heard from. 
 
 Lynde, Chas. Wesley. 
 
 It is strange that Lynde does not an- 
 swer from Trenton, N. J. 
 
 Marks, A. W. 
 
 Died Sept. 17. 1880. He was one of 
 the victims of the typho-malaria epid- 
 emic that broke up the end of our 
 freshman year. 
 
 McCIure, Samuel W. 
 
 A full report of McCIure in the Sexen- 
 nial Record. He was then in Law in 
 Vilas, Col. 
 
 Mitchell, Norman E. 
 
 Mitchell pokes his head out of a Feb- 
 ruary blizzard long enough to say: 
 
 "I left Princeton five years ago and 
 have resided at Sheldon, N. Dak., ever 
 since. This is my address for the pres- 
 ent. 
 
 Took a trip back east during the fall 
 of '91, and witnessed all the football 
 games in which Princeton took part. I 
 am not married, and have no present 
 intention of becoming a Benedict. 
 
 Voted the straight Republican ticket 
 last fall, and agree with that party on 
 all questions of which it is the distinc- 
 tive champion." And at this point like 
 the party which he supports, he got 
 suowed under. 
 
 Moffatt, Alexander. 
 
 All the Class remember with pleasure 
 the days of Freshman year when Alex, 
 and Will Moffatt were with us. Even 
 then both gave promise of the valuable 
 athletic service they would render the 
 college, and we have all been grateful to 
 
-90- 
 
 Alex. for what he did and is still doing 
 for the cause of mauly, vigorous athletics 
 both in and out of college. As a Foot 
 Ball Enthusiast, Aleck is "still there." 
 His address is 120 Broadway, N. Y., 
 where he is in business.- 
 
 Moffatt, Wm. D. 
 
 "Billy" has made strong and steady 
 progess in the book business and we be- 
 lieve is still with Chas. Scribner & Sons 
 in N. Y. in charge of one of the depart- 
 ments and doing well. 
 
 Noble, Rev. Wm. B. 
 
 Noble left us in 1880, entered Har- 
 vard and later became an Episcopal 
 clergyman and is now preaching. He 
 gave promise of strong mental life and 
 we prophesy for him a high place in the 
 ranks of the Churcji. 
 
 Peace, Phil. P. 
 
 Address is care of Philadelphia Club, 
 Philadelphia, Pa. 
 
 Pennington, Francis. 
 
 Was also cut off by fever during fresh 
 man year and died on June 6, 1880. 
 
 For complete report see Sexennial 
 Record. 
 
 Porter, N. W. 
 
 No report. 
 
 Proctor, William Cooper*f 
 
 Proc has l'esided in Cincinnati since 
 leaving college, and expects to remain 
 there. He is a member of the well- 
 known firm of Proctor & Gamble, large 
 manufacturers of soaps, candles, oils 
 and glycei'ine. Reports progress in 
 collecting together some of the goods 
 of this world. He made a good resolu- 
 tion last year and proceeded to carry it 
 out, by marrying on New Year's day, 
 
 1889, Miss Jane Eliza Johnson, at Glen- 
 dale, Ohio. P. S. No message from 
 Proctor since the above, but he a loyal 
 true son of '83 and retains a lively 
 interest. 
 
 Rainsford. John C. 
 
 Was the first one of our class to be 
 taken from us by death. After a short 
 illness with the fever he died on June 
 2, 1890. 
 
 Richardson, C. P. 
 
 C. P. RICHARDSON. 
 
 Our Cresent City Classmate, (71 
 Baronne St. New Orleans) in his en- 
 counter with fortune, seems to have 
 gotten it about where John L. Sullivan 
 did a few months ago, in the same 
 locality. He writes; 
 
 I regret to have to say I cannot re- 
 port for myself as flatteringly as I did 
 for the Sexennial, but even if truth is 
 sometimes harsh it is no sin. 
 
 I am still single — still sticking to the 
 
—91— 
 
 opiniou that "milk is too cheap to buy 
 a cow," besides my inability to provide 
 for one as I should desire. I have been 
 very unfortunate since rny last report. 
 At that time I was buoyant with hopes, 
 and with large, promising, well con- 
 considered investments. Since that 
 time I have been besieged with one 
 continual succession of disappointments. 
 I am putting on the best smile possible, 
 keeping cheerful and patiently await- 
 ing the turning of the tide, ever assur- 
 ing myself of the truthfulness of the 
 old adage "Tis a long lane which has 
 no turns." I am hopeful, with the 
 event of Cleveland's election that the 
 stagnation of business and investments 
 in the Southern states will soon be 
 washed away and a revived buoyancy 
 follow. Beyo id doubt we have in these 
 Southern states the Elysium of this 
 country — rich in its natural resources 
 and fertile fields, and must eventually 
 be the most prosperous of all sections 
 so while I am now down and being 
 thumped severely, with the probable 
 prosperity of the country I trust to re- 
 cover my losses. However this may 
 be, my address is at the head of this 
 sheet, and there a warm, hearty shake 
 of the hand awaits every member of 
 the Class of '83 who may visit this 
 Congenial but dirty old City!. 
 
 As to politics I have that of my 
 country. All good citizens with us 
 vote democratic ticket straight, even to 
 the bitter republicans who come 
 amongst us. I believe in high licensed 
 liquor privileges, and while a good 
 democrat as above stated, believe in 
 Tariff and Protection — and bounty on 
 sugar (only regretting it is not on cot- 
 ton as well). 
 
 Robeson, J. E. 
 
 No report. Does any one know of 
 his whereabouts. 
 
 Rogers, T. B. 
 
 Tim is farming and his address is 
 Bear Station, Del. 
 
 Rogers, Wm. R. 
 
 Graduated with '84 and took a post 
 graduate in chemistry. Has since died. 
 
 Shaw, W. McD. 
 
 Shaw left us to "step higher," skipped 
 a year and took his "Dip" with '82. 
 
 Shoemaker, Samuel M.* 
 
 No classmate ever gave another a 
 more royal welcome and "good" time 
 than Sam gave your Secretary in April 
 '91 while he was on a trip south, His 
 delightful home in Baltimore seems 
 open ^to his old College friends, and 
 serves to emphasize the depths of these 
 early formed friendships. He was 
 married at Baltimore to Miss Helen 
 Whiteridge, and a most attractive little 
 girl adds sunshine to their home. Sam 
 is occupied with a large estate just out 
 of Baltimore. We regret we have no 
 direct recent message from him. 
 
 • 
 Steele, H. F. 
 
 No Report. He was a special with us 
 in Freshman year only. 
 
 Vail, J F. 
 
 No report. 
 
 Wade, Benj. Franklin 
 
 No report. 
 
 Way, Geo. P. 
 
 From no one among the Ex-Members 
 of '83 has the Secretary had more de- 
 lightful letters, expressive of personal 
 and class interest, than from Way. 
 We regret however that we cannot 
 advise the class of his present where- 
 abouts, as he last wrote from Europe. 
 He has spent much of his time in 
 Europe where he has traveled for 
 health and recreation. Geo. was mar- 
 ried to Miss Louis > Angele Merriam at 
 New York May 19, 1885. His latest 
 
—92— 
 
 Welch, Wm. 
 
 We are rejoiced to receive at last 
 some tidings of "Dominie" Welch. A 
 classmate writes he met him at Tocoma, 
 Wash, where he is practicing ,- law for 
 a profession" and love for fuller de- 
 velopement of himself, i. e. He is mar- 
 ried. Write us Welch. 
 
 Weyer, W. Otto. 
 
 The Secretary has met Weyer several 
 times in Buffalo, where he is practicing 
 law and having success. A full report 
 of his doings is found in the last Record. 
 
 Wilcox, Samuel D. 
 
 No report from our "dear little curly 
 headed brunette, who was. with us only 
 long enough to impress upon us his 
 short neat personality." 
 
 GEO. P. WAY. 
 
 address known to us is Care Drexel, 
 Harjes & Co. Paris, France. On Oct. 
 12, 1887, Robt. W. M. Way made his 
 debut.

 Minutes of First Reunion, June 18, 1884- 
 
 As no arrangements had been made 
 by the class officers, Russell Moore kind- 
 ly volunteered to do the work, and 
 thanks to his active efforts the class sat 
 down June 16 at 10 p. m. to a very 
 good supper at the University Hotel. 
 Twenty-eight of the class responded at 
 Roll call. Mr. James S. Harlan was 
 called to the chair and acted as Toast 
 Master. At 2 a. m. the class of '81 
 came in a body to greet us, and cheers 
 were exchanged, after which Dave 
 Haines spoke to us in behalf of '81. 
 After a walk "around the Triangle," 
 the Old Campus heard once more "the 
 music of our tread," aud around the 
 Old Cannon, we called for the absent 
 members and for "Frank Wood's Base- 
 Bawl Bat." The following members of 
 '83 were present: Bryant, Bratton, 
 Bedle, Crouse, Colt, Carman, W. D. 
 Green, W. H. G-ulick, Hewitt, Harlan, 
 Carner, Libbey, Moore, Morgan, Mur- 
 doch, McKnight, Parmly, Perrine, 
 Riggs, Royle, Rudd, Richmond, Taber, 
 Taylor, Ward, Wadleigh, White, 
 Woods. Mitchell, Paden, Park, Towle 
 came for Commencement Day, June 17, 
 1884. 
 
 Minutes of Triennial Reunion, June 22, 1886. 
 
 Forty-three members of the class 
 were loyal and interested enough to re- 
 turn to Old Nassau to "remiuise," and 
 a most delightful reunion was had. 
 University Hall was the only available 
 place and was secured, the conditions 
 being that no liquors be served, and 
 hence a "dry" supper. However, near- 
 ly everyone declared it a great success 
 and a most honorable record for '83. 
 The Sexennial Reunion gave each one 
 who was pi*esent at both a chance for 
 comparison. The latter was far from 
 a dry one. Among those who attended 
 was Buck Antrim. He came to tell us 
 of the value of Dad's course in logic 
 and his high grade enabled him in later 
 
 years to stand high among the legal 
 lights of Southern Jersey. Buck also 
 enjoyed au old time game of ball. 
 Bedle revealed to the class the secrets 
 of Wall street. Bryant, Carman and 
 Carter quietly enjoyed things. Crouse, 
 of course, was right in his element, and 
 Hankins did a rushing business in se- 
 gars and "licorice water." Day was 
 larger than life, and was often found 
 knocking at 2 s. w. in company with 
 Richie, Ward and Yard and other old 
 members of the S. S. S. Dickinson 
 and Fell explained how they had be- 
 come great in three years. George 
 Edwards related incidents of Seminary 
 sprees in which Finney, Earner, Rich- 
 mond and Rudd played a prominent 
 part. In auother group might have 
 been found Field, Fisher, McKnight, 
 Rieman, Riggs, Roberts and Wadleigh 
 enjoying the old campus and benches 
 in front of North. Preach Hawes was 
 the centre of an interested group listen- 
 ing to how he stumped Ohio for the 
 Prohibition ticket, with Rusty Moore 
 and George Howell as his backers. 
 Hewitt, Hodge, Jones, Keller and 
 Woods (when he wasn't with Charlie 
 Young) looked closely after the Whig 
 Hall goat. Parmly, Perrine, Phillips, 
 Prescott and Wilson competed the list 
 of the regular members present. It 
 was also pleasant to see the following 
 ex '83 men: Barclay, Fleming, Proctor 
 and Richardson. A-< the fellows tiled 
 into the diuing-room the secretary had 
 the copy of the Triennial Record ready. 
 Before the menu was discussed, the 
 following business was transacted: 
 Andrew W. Wilson was elected class 
 president in place of James P. Flint, 
 resigned. Resignation of W. D. Green, 
 as class secretary, was accepted, and 
 Edward Huntting Rudd, who had serv- 
 ed the c'ass two years as temporary 
 secretary, was elected permanently to 
 that office. The president-elect then 
 invited Otto Crouse to act as Toast 
 Master, which he did in his well-known 
 
—99— 
 
 style. Rev. Duck Karner asked the 
 blessing. It was voted uot to award 
 the Class Cup until June, 1893, at the 
 Decennial Reunion. That member 
 of '83 who has the oldest living son is 
 to receive the silver cup, it being un- 
 derstood that the boy be present if pos- 
 sible at the Reunion. During the stay 
 in Princeton, Rose, the Princeton 
 photographer, took the picture of the 
 class, and this one and the Sexennial 
 group may be ordered of him at any 
 time at $1 00 each. The class adjourn- 
 ed to meet in Princeton, June, 1889. 
 
 Minutes of Ssxennial Reunion, June 18, '89 
 
 Of the thirty members who attended 
 the Sexennial, twenty-two were at the 
 Triennial. It is hoped the members 
 will increase instead of decrease and 
 that at the Decennial at least 75 men 
 will be present. Tuesday being the 
 day for the alumni dinner, the class 
 supper was arranged for this date. 
 The Sexennial supper was a great suc- 
 cess. About 7:30 the fellows gathered 
 at Carls' Restaurant in the same room 
 in which Mrs. Dohm's club used to 
 meet, and Duck Karner's club felt 
 thoroughly at home. After the bless 
 iug had been asked by Rev. Frank 
 Woods' Grouse acting as toast master 
 and president pro. tern, called for 
 matters of business. The Secretary 
 read the minutes of the Triennial Re- 
 xiniou, with occasional comments on 
 the whereabouts of the members of the 
 class. Frank C. Roberts was elected 
 class treasurer. The following were 
 elected as the memorial committee to 
 suggest and select a suitable gift for 
 the college at our Decenuial Reunion 
 in June, 1893: Alexander, Grouse, 
 Hodge, Roberts and Wauamaker, with 
 Wilson and Rudd as members ex- officio, 
 making a committee of seven- Com- 
 munications regretting their absence' 
 were received from Harriman, Hoskius, 
 Parmly, "Andy" Wilson and several 
 others. The dinner itself was one of 
 
 the best ever served a class in Prince- 
 ton, the decorations were exquisite and 
 dainty, the service excellent and the 
 speeches bright. 
 
 After the coffee was reached and the 
 cigars were lit, the fellows began to 
 effervesce. Hedge spoke on '83's absent 
 members, ' making especial and beauti- 
 ful reference to the life and death of 
 Hoi) McKnight, who was cheerful and 
 brave to the last." Petty proved him- 
 self to be an A. No. 1 stump speaker, as 
 he replied for "83's politics." Jim 
 Harlan spoke for '"83 in law." Rusty 
 Moore responded to the toast — well, 
 call his subject "Miscellaneous," then 
 you could truthfully say he "stuck to 
 his text." As a pleasant diversion it 
 had been decided by the Senior Class 
 Glee Club to give a silver cup to the 
 first boy born to one of their members. 
 A. C. Ward sprung it on them to the 
 tune of "double entry" and on May 8, 
 1889, twin boys came to his home. On 
 behalf of the S. S. S., Richmond pre- 
 sented two silver cups to the lads. 
 Ward and Reward, and Acey respond- 
 ed in a way becoming a proud dad. 
 College songs were interspersed 
 through the evening and before ad 
 journiug the following were noted as 
 present: Alexander, Bryant, Carter, 
 Grouse, Day, Dickinson, Fell, Harlan, 
 Hawes, Hodge, Howell, Kellar, Moore 
 Murdoch, Osborn, Petty, Phillips, Pres- 
 cott, Richmond, Rieman, Riggs, 
 Roberts, Rudd, Rutau, Suauklin, Smy- 
 ser, Spier, Wadleigh, Ward, Woods 
 and Yard. 
 
 Notes on Informal Reunion June 13, 1892. 
 
 A few of the class had a pleasant 
 dinner Monday evening June 13, 1892. 
 Plans for the Decenuial were discussed, 
 the Secretary was instructed to have 
 the "Record" ready for Decennial Re- 
 union. Committees and Sub-Com- 
 mitees were appointed in connection 
 with the Class Memorial and the Re- 
 union June 13, 1893. As the Secretary 
 
—100— 
 
 was unable to be present and only a 
 meagre report was sent hirn on de- 
 tached slips by the Class President this 
 "minute" is rather incomplete. 
 
 Class Ode of '83. 
 
 June 18, 1883. 
 
 words by c. v. thompson, music by 
 
 charles i. young. 
 
 A song to greet the morning! 
 
 The woven shadows gray. 
 The golden mists of dawning 
 
 Roll back and it is day. 
 And boyhoods' dreams and pleasures 
 
 And all that fancy rears — 
 Shrink back before the measures 
 
 Of the diviner years. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 Farewell — no more together 
 
 Are battles fought and won — 
 We part, and none knows whither 
 
 The swift years bear him on. 
 Yet tho' we part and sever, 
 
 Are we not one forever, 
 All one in love for old Nassau, 
 
 All one in eighty- three! 
 
 Life comes to each one bringing 
 
 Her gifts of love and faith, 
 Of sorrow, and of singing, 
 
 Of tears and peace, and death 
 With lips that mock and flatter, 
 
 With garlands for the brow, 
 With hands that hold and scatter, 
 
 She stands before us now.— Cho. 
 
 Forth ! woo her as a lover 
 
 Woos at his lady's knee, 
 Until she bless thee over 
 
 All that thy prayers may be. 
 The brave have ever won her, 
 
 The true have known her best, 
 She giveth gold and honor 
 
 Still to the worthiest. — Cho. 
 
 And when the years made holy 
 With battles lost and won, 
 
 Look wearily and slowly 
 Unto the setting sun. 
 
 Our hearts shall turn, my brother. 
 
 Like pilgrims worn and gray 
 Back to the saci'ed Mecca — 
 
 The shrine we leave to-day! 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 Farewell! our Alma Mater — 
 
 Our love, our hopes — to thee — 
 The dawning day shall scatter 
 
 Thy sous of Eigty-three. 
 Yet, Brothers, though we sever. 
 
 Still are we one forever — 
 All one in love for Old Nassau, 
 
 All one in Eighty-three.

 '83' s Decennial Memorial Gift to Princeton 
 College. 
 
 In order that the class may have in 
 this permanent form the beginning' re- 
 garding our class gift to the college, 
 your secretary inserts the following 
 letters issued by the Memorial Com- 
 mittee: 
 
 New York, June 15th, 1892. 
 
 To the members of the class of eighty- 
 three: — The Memorial Committee elect- 
 ed at the Sexennial of our class was in- 
 structed to select a memorial gift to be 
 given to the college at our Decennial 
 Reunion, and was directed to raise the 
 necessary funds. They were given full 
 power in the premises, including the 
 power to add to their numbers. 
 
 After a considerable amount of cor- 
 respondence and consultation with 
 various members of the class, a very 
 full aud representative meeting of the 
 original members of the committee was 
 held in this city the night before the 
 Thanksgiving game last fall, 1892. 
 
 The committee at that meeting at 
 once set about enlarging itself in order 
 that all sections of the country and all 
 the various interests in the class, both 
 among the graduates and those who are 
 members of '83. but who are not gradu- 
 ates, might be fully represented, and 
 in order that every member of the class 
 might be within the reach of a member 
 of the committee. 
 
 The original committee, as appears 
 by the Sexennial Record, consisted of 
 Alexander, Crouse, Hodge, Roberts, 
 Rudd, Wanamaker and Wilson. The 
 resignation of Wanamaker, occasioned 
 by necessity aud regretfully tendered 
 and accepted, had caused a vacancy 
 
 which had been tilled previous to the 
 Thanksgiving meeting by the election 
 of Bryant. 
 
 The new members of our little con- 
 gress, representing constituencies all 
 over the country, elected' at the last 
 mentioned meeting, are Bratton of 
 Maryland, Day of Ohio, Jones of Texas, 
 Harlan of Chicago, Harrimau of 
 New York, Field of New Jersey and 
 Richardson of Louisiana. These mem- 
 bers have each of them since accepted 
 the office of committeeman aud its 
 duties. Alexander was elected chair- 
 man; Roberts treasurer; and Crouse 
 secretary. Alexander, at a subsequent 
 meeting, was compelled to tender his 
 resignation owing to ill health, and 
 Bryant was elected chairman in his 
 place. 
 
 The Memorial of the Class of '83 is to 
 be a Section in the College Library de- 
 voted to the subject of Constitutional 
 History, Political Science and Juris- 
 prudence, to be known as "THE 
 CLASS OF 'S3 LIBRARY OF POLITI- 
 CAL SCIENCE AND JURISPRU- 
 DENCE. 
 
 It needs but a few words to show 
 that this (1) tills a need of Princeton 
 University, (2) will be popular with 
 our class and the college, (3) can be 
 purchased aud endowed with whatever 
 sum the class places at our commaud, 
 (4) is a permanent gift, aud (5) is an 
 eminently appropriate one for our 
 class to make. 
 
 A collection of works upon the sub- 
 ject suggested is the most appropriate 
 gift '83 could give. Our class gave the 
 "Lyman H. Atwater Prize in Political 
 Scieuce." She now proposes to give 
 necessary tools to her prizemen 
 
 The foundation of such .a Library 
 may possibly (and in the opinion of 
 some in authority, will probably) be 
 an important step towards the estab- 
 lishment of other post-graduate courses 
 in Constitutional History, Political 
 Science and Jurisprudence, and finally 
 
— i03 — 
 
 of a Law School, under the direction 
 of that most able and popular Professor 
 — Woodrovv Wilson. 
 
 Our class will be able to put into the 
 hands of the students of Princeton 
 nearly all the standard books of value 
 in the English language upon this sub- 
 ject, and to keep them fairly supplied 
 in future, if we are able to raise $10,- 
 000, and to approximately reach the 
 same result with a smaller sum. 
 ******* 
 
 Arrangement has already been made 
 for the purchase of between 1,000 and 
 1,500 volumes, as the nucleus of the 
 '83 library. Each book will be stamp- 
 ed on the back and insidj with a design 
 setting forth the name of the Class, &c. 
 Sepai'ate alcoves will be assigned to 
 the collections. A handsome wrought 
 iron grille; with a suitable inscription, 
 will be hung from the balcony in the 
 library immediately in front of the as- 
 signed alcoves. 
 
 President Patton, the Faculty and 
 the Librarian, Mr. Richardson, are all 
 greatly interested in our gift, and are 
 doing everything in their power to for- 
 ward its interests. The "Princeton- 
 ian" for March 2d, 1893, contains the 
 following editorial: 
 
 "The proposition of the Class of '83 
 to found and endow a Library of Politi- 
 cal Science and Jurisprudence as their 
 decennial class memorial is one that is 
 a source of untold gratification to the 
 undergraduates. While our library is 
 rich in the departments of mathemati- 
 cal and mental science, it is, on the 
 other hand, proportionately weak in 
 other branches, and it is one of these 
 branches the Class of '83 proposes to 
 make one of the best. The lack of ref- 
 erence works in the department of 
 political science and jurisprudence has 
 been felt for a long time, without much 
 hope of an appreciable addition. This 
 class has generously offered to till this 
 want, and in doing so they may be sure 
 that their efforts will not be misplaced. 
 
 They could not have decided upon a 
 gift which would have been more ac- 
 ceptable or upon one which would be a 
 means of greater benefit to the college. 
 It is doubly pleasing to learn that a 
 larger number of volumes are to be 
 placed on the shelves immediately, and 
 that access will soon be given to them. 
 This gift will be one more add- 
 ed to those given heretofore as memo- 
 rials, all of which are testimonials of 
 the great interest taken by the alumni 
 in the welfare of their alma mater."

 The presentation of the Memorial 
 will be made June 13, 1893.
