Ill il'>.: m,. i \ Book ^^^1 ^ PKKSKXTKI) IIY ■And Recall those Dai^s of Gladness 'neath the Orange and the Black!' 'AS WE TURN OUR MEMORIES BACK" BEING THE FIFTH YEAR RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1909 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS SECRETARY RECORD No. 3 FOREWORD Although we alphabetically record the activities of each Classmate, we trust this volume will not be read as statistics from cover to cover. But that it may occupy a place on the library table, where,, when the night is lonely and long, we can open its pages and refresh our minds by seeing the faces and reading these personal letters from the best friends of all time. May we then feel that wonderful Princeton influence that cheers us on our way and, as we close its pages, may we be conscious of our duty to serve Princeton and our fellowmen. REFLECTIONS Some people like culture and soar up above Where the ether grows thinner and thinner, While some of them favor the joys of true love And some the effects of true dinner ; There are many delights of days and of nights, But there's never a gladness that ranks With the pleasure supreme, the rapture extreme, Of filling statistical blanks. We gravely produce some ancestrial facts And the names of our children and wives. And we try to account for our various acts When we've not done a thing in our lives, We think of the books that we never have writ And the churches we do not attend. We start to write something, then scratch out a bit, And sign our full names at the end. Our deeds are undone and our songs are unsung, But the students are gradually growing, The poets and statesmen are still rather young But shortly some heads may be showing, And a few years along we can take a square look. And I'll see with a sort of distress The rest of the crowd simply stuffing the book, — When I've only a name and address. — Spencer Gordon '09. 1909 CLASS ORGANIZATION William Mann Prizer President 529 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

The Preliminary work had been done by the reunion committee — and the honeyed words of Brash and Dick- inson's famous folder had given every man within reach of the mails that "PU get back of bust" feeling. The costumes had been talked over since the winter before — the tent was ready, the bands also — and as for the Beer we know you Bill Hoffman. Picture then "Mose" Mosher and his trusty fiddle leaving the wilds of New Richmond, Wisconsin, Doc. Smith driving miles to get to a train leaving Edmonston, Alberta, and one hundred and ninety-three other loyal ought niners each with one idea — to" get back where the music of big brass bands mingle with the Howareye of his best friends. Did you know that four men came more than 2,500 miles just to see Princeton and you once again ? This is the stuff' that made our Fifth the biggest quinquennial ever held. "Young mex with far away looks in their eyes." First Day From the time you struck Princeton Junction you knew which was the big class, which one had the real tent. It was a poor tree or fence that didn't have a sign. This year it's '09 — count the cards 19 and Friday morning's Prince bore the same message to the world. The early birds in found some of the committee there — getting things ready and promptly at one o'clock the pack was shuffled and costumes given out — and weren't they some costumes. At exactly 1 .075^ 2^Iaury was heard to order another keg tapped — which was done. At 2.30 Dickinson led the famous band of Harlem Ethio- pians up from the station and a beer was had by all — while Josh worked behind the counter dealing pairs of Sixes — straight flushes — and full houses in quick succession. The papier-mache heads were finalh' dug out of the recesses of the University Store Room after a small fortune had been spent in 'phone messages to Xew York and in a moment were being tried on before the mirror and camera. From that moment on there was action — pep — and more pep, till the last tent peg was pulled up. Do you know of anything better than pee-rading up Xassau Street on a June day behind a big brass band led by a master leader Hke A.rtie Samuels ? One of these pee-rades was started at 3.30 and was followed at frequent intervals or whenever any member yelled Pee-rade. What the band lacked in technique it made up in willing- ness and pep and "Fobeys" variations on the cornet are a sweet mem- ory. Back to the tent after each fresh Pee-rade — a new story — a beer — a hot dog — and cover up ! Here comes Tomlinson ! That well known writer of boys' books was in rare form from Fridav till the end. and Ross Kay's little friends and readers should have been there to see him. Suddenly there was a rush to throw a reinforcing guard around the defenseless dispenser of the cooling fluid for a scout came in with the news that Souse Keen was on his way up from the station. AVith him a lot more of the loyal Philadel- phia contingent. ^IcXeely the leader man. Gay, destroyer of Rats, Bill Arnett, Shorty Burke, Dick Este and his thirst. Bill Latta, AMlly Prizer so soon to become our President and all the rest of that far from sleepy bunch. At 5.15 Ferry Belden was observed drinking part of a cup of "Isx't it woxder- ^^^^- Some had dinner about now, through the FUL WHAT xouR- wire entanglements, others pinned their faith to isHMEXT YOU cAx ^ ^ ^^ • ,^ -^ wouderful what nourishment GET OUT OF . THAT ° HoFFMAx Brew." a'ou can get out of that Hoffman Brew? 20 I — Four of Our Engineers — Dennis, Wagner, Perrine, and Shaner. 2 — Dickinson — Leader of Coon Band. 3 — Maury — Disguised as a Bridge Germ. 4 — Treadwell — Joker. 5 — Four of Our Fizzicians — Hetzel, Martin, Thorburn, and McWilliams. As the shades of the First Evening descended, our famous ring- masters Hatch Treadwell and Roy Dickinson took charge and from then on till somewhere around 2.00 A. M. there was much action. Ed. Brown and his famous quartet outdid themselves. The sweet strains of Chloe and the new rags were interrupted at times in the good old drules of Doug Ballin, Hatch, Cunningham and Roy, while Fat Wagner's songs took us back to the old benches in front of Nassau Hall and the songs we used to sing on spring nights in the long ago. Medina was there with his Phi Betta Kappa yarn. We missed old Norm Carrol who was eating his heart out way ofif in Frisco but who sent "some"' telegram. The ringmasters got one man after another up from the crowd uncovering lots of new talent — they Roy, who puts pep in coons — got the little feller to do another dance and so the evening went. Many a grad in Princeton was heard to say on that first night, "Now lets go to the real tent," and everybody knew he meant '09. Our old reputation for hospitality was never better kept up. No one who dropped in went away disappointed — and those who dropped in constituted about everybody and so ended the first day. Second Day Saturday dawned clear and sunny, but nobody saw it, except Ed. Annin, the well known Berkshire County hog raiser and a few others who forgot to go to bed. It was also sunny from eleven on which was much more interesting to the rest. Scotty held forth in the tent for a while in the morning and after being tied into horrible knots by Maury, Armour, Heyniger and other strong arms, did a quick Houdini act and started collecting before he was half out of his bonds. Many new pee-rades were started, and many poses were struck in front of movie cameras and regular ones. The class picture was taken on the steps. At 12.30, back in the tent, John Kellogg finished his sixth, while some painted signs — and they were the best in the pee-rade, a few kindred spirits and Turk House gathered on the platform and warbled snatches from the operas. The Son of the Beach — "the Underground Chant" and "She Works in a Jam Factory," being some of the favorites most in evi- dence. About this time it was discovered by Holley Clark that our costumes in addition to being remarkably cool, and making the best showing of any in town, were also unmistakably and absolutely beer Juir Giffuif: I — The Face Cards on Dress P-Rade: Note Our Jacks — Farr and Moffett and Our Queens on either side. 2 — CouT Selby, Earle Holsapple and "Big" Heyniger show General Huerta to the grand stands. 3 — The P-rade on the way to the ball field. This gives some idea of how clearly the cards could be seen from a distance. proof. Between sign painting, band concerts, impromptu singing and preparation for the big Pee-rade, the tent was a busy place. Suddenly some bright mind suggested the idea of meeting the train bearing into town Woodrow Wilson '79. No sooner said than started, and after a syncopated goose step march around town '09, in "Many poses were struck in front of MOVIE cameras." a body reached the station and waited. By the time the train arrived Fobey, our famous cornettist was slipping one, and numerous other Ethiopians were missing from the band. The remainder however, gave a remarkable rendition of Hail to the Chief in ragtime while the President of these here United States was attempting to say a few words from the car steps. The struggle was an unequal one and he soon gave up. The class gave him a regular welcome, then started on the Pee- rade to the field. For the sake of history it must be admitted that there were one or two other classes in the Pee-rade around the field at the '09 Quin- quennial, and the crowds in the grand stand greeted them. It was perfectly plain to any observer, however, that they were merely waiting for '09. The bells on the ringmasters rang with excitement as they led the aggregation, and Art Samuels put seven more ounces of pep into the Ethiopians as they came bravely up playing their famous "I'm on my way to Mandalay." Will you ever forget that song? Behind the band came a seven foot Huerta captured by '09. Beneath a big card bearing the words "We come from West of the Mississippi" came the men who had won the right to that distinction. Then after a larger group came Jim Maury dancing along disguised 24 %\ -1V|*|5r^.|i I — 2 — 3 — Each of these pictures were taken uninten- tionally AT nearly the same PART OF THE GRAND STAND BY THREE DIFFERENT PHOTOGRAPHERS. EaCH SHOWS ONE- THIRD OF THE P-RADE TAKEN IN REGULAR ORDER. "UnUSUAL, Gentlemen ! Very unusual !" as a big red Germ. — then our famous secretary, Josh Brush, as a prize fat baby. . A roar went up from the grand stands as they read the standards "Don't cut the Deck Girls, be Friendly." "All this pack needs is a few more Queens," and the rest of them. Our standard showing the record attendance for five successive reunions got a big hand. The costumes were the most spectacular and effective seen on the field in many a year and '09 passed by in a blaze of glory. Then the Tigers and the Elis got busy for a while and after their slight interruption, we went back to the big tent. And here words fail the willing scribe. That night never to be forgotten — to be remembered in happy moods in years to come, is hard to describe. From Friday night's reputation all of Princeton literally fought to get into the '09 tent. There wasn't a dull moment from right after the game till rosy dawn. One good story followed another. Ed Brown and his peerless quartet out-did themselves. Norm Armour out-did Scotty in liberating himself from a straight] acket, done without the aid of a net. Buck Dougherty was a royal straight flush all by himself. Our prize contest for outside talent was a big success. Deac. Alurray was there with his well known drules and made a big hit. Lefty Flynn of Yale, after pulling the piano all around the platform, entertained the whole tent for half an hour with Chinese songs, stories, and Kipling set to music, and was unanimously awarded first prize with the Deacon a close second. Though there was pep every minute from start to finish, our ringmasters kept excellent order and the whole evening passed in a most enjoyable way — a very nice time being had by all, as the Bingville Bugle would say. Old Alec. Verner helped close the tent, if it did close. Tubby Sherrill and Con Connet scorning beds and such, lay their weary heads at the foot of the new statute on the Campus and slumbered peacefully till wakened by Italian workmen. Next Morning On Sunday morning some there were who slumbered and some who beard an address by R. R. Gailey, which was very well spoken. Among other movements discussed at the Social service meeting which was most interesting, was the Big Brother movement, which almost forty men volunteered for. After the meeting all sat around and exchanged views on life, liberty and the pursuit of 26 the elusive shekel. Then after a dash of nourishment, the big class meeting came off. Old William Prizer, our hard working Philadel- phia chairman was elected Class President. The election was a very popular one and Bill certainly deserves the honor and is the right man for the right place. Hatch Tread- well was elected Class Representative on the Graduate Council. Another case of ditto. Hatch and Roy were then each presented with a beautiful cigarette case engraved from the Class of '09. These were in recognition of their untiring efforts for the past five years at class dinners and reunions. Immediately followed the famous trial for the awarding of the long distance cup, Judge Buchanan presiding. Mulford, Belden, Dr. Smith and Mosher were the claimants, each represented by a ball-of-fire lawyer. Maury's cross examinations of witnesses were supreme examples of the art — any art. Juror number six, Arm- strong by name, was forcibly ejected from the jury box for obstrep- erous conduct and refusing medical attention. Trimble's impassioned pleas to the jury brought tears to the eye of every listener and there wasn't a dry throat in the tent. Amid tremendous excitement, the jury filed out and after due deliberation brought in the verdict for Doc. Smith, who had traveled 4,500 miles or more from Edmonton, Alberta. The cup was presented to the blushing Doc with great applause. Jim Woodrow got the consistent traveller cup, by having averaged over 700 miles each year for the past five to get back to the big reunion. Cups were presented to seven more who had travelled from west of the Mississippi to get back to the Quinquennial. They were B. Taylor, Doc Smith, Perry Belden, Mul. Mulford, Gene Kelley, Mose Mosher and Ed. Beck. Then after a few songs in chorus up on the platform and a fine concert by Ed and his willing workers, the evening came on, the best evening of all, some say. There was more pep than ever — the sweet strains of Annie Laurie, sung by Fat floated out into the balmy June night, and the nightin- gales grew green witih envy. Then a surprise was sprung — one of the Ringmasters called on Mose Mosher, who was sitting in the audience with his trusty fiddle held like a child beneath his arm. Lots of men in the class never knew Mose played, but he sure got away with it big. Not a sound was heard in the whole tent, as he held them entranced for half an hour and they called for encore after encore. This was one 27 of the pleasant surprises of reunion and we'll never miss Mose again when we get a chance at him. Ed Annin sitting embracing a stein on the platform edge, missed "The Postum Dansant." train after train while his father rushed frantically around the station singing — "where is my wandering son." The tent stayed open till after one, while those who had jobs were leaving — "The owners of position" stayed over till the next day, which next day brought in a new idea at Princeton — the Postum Dansant. Chick Turner made the dance a success by rushing up a relief column at the crucial moment. The ten ladies seemed to have a great time and Ed. Brown proved that Europe had nothing on him when it came to fox trot and hesitation. Many a bachelor had a big thrill as he saw the greatest galaxy of charm and beauty ever gathered beneath one canvas covering, since the world was young. From the sawdust dance, all moved to Williams Street for '09's big athletic meet. Everything then went smoothly and many worlds records were broken amid the cheers of hundreds of spectators who crowded both sides of the street. The greatest event of all was the twenty-five yard race for ladies. That was some race. It was won by a plucky six yard diving slide, the like of which has never been seen since Eddie Collins won the game in the ninth inning in his famous slide to the plate. It was a big morning for '09 and for Chick Turner. The old guard of the class took possession of the whole town in the after- noon. Maury commandeered a hot dog wagon and dispensed the 28 ^^ I — Ladies' Day at the Tent on Monday — Showing Wives, Sisters, Sweet- hearts and Maury. 2 — Desperate Finish of the Sack Race at the Big Track Meet on William Street, Won by Turk Martin. 3 — The Ladies' Twenty-five Yards Race WAS MOST exciting AND CLOSELY CON- TESTED EVERY INCH OF THE WAY. fried Fidos to one and all. His gymnastic stunts on the wagon had Fred Stone of Montgomery & Stone jealous as any bride, and Jim risked his neck while the populace cheered. As the shades of even- ing fell over the elms, the rear guard of '09 smoked the pipes of peace and fellowship at the remains of the tent and agreed unani- mously that the greatest reunion in '09's record of five big ones had rolled into history. So be it set down — it was some reunion. On behalf of the class, we (editorial staff), wish to congratulate each and every man who had anything to do with this biggest re- union, and who would that leave out? For it is just that get-together and pull hard spirit which makes '09 different. That eagerness to help — and every man does help, — makes the success he shares in, wdiich is as it should be. The reunion Committee deserves a bunch of credit also — but one especially — he who is in himself a host — and if he cuts this out of the account I'll kick him — that is Josh Brush who from the drop of the hat till the last tent peg is pulled up — is on the job — as he is all through the year — to keep '09 working together and smoothly for the common good. So long then — see you all in June. — Ought Niner. 30 I — Fifth Reunion Headquarters at 22 William Street — Showing a few of our elaborate standards in front OF THE Big Tent. 2 — The Old Guard on the Last Day. 3 — Some idea of the size of our card case.

Coming to reunions from Jacksonville, Fla., the thought of that carfare from Philadelphia to Princeton quite provoked him. It is suggested that on his next trip some philanthropic Philadelphian '09 man bring him up in his auto. In New York rumor has it that Cunningham is getting to be a devil with the ladies ! The Lion of the Triangle Club is now the Fox Trotter of the Social Circle. Now that Bayard is in Syria and Cleve in this country, it ought to be comparatively easy to greet the latter with some certainty of success. Ralph Gamble is a volunteer fireman in Larchmont, N. Y. Sprint- ing to fires he grabs the heat away from other runners. Wilbur LaRoe is in Washington. Wilson, Daniels, etc., are among other Princetonians there. Wilbur is the boy who made Perth Amboy famous. Pop Silver popped the question to Reddy Milne's sister. Now that they are brothers-in-law they have a new relationship towards the Class. Nutting is in the insurance business. The risks some of our boys take are appalling. No ! Obefammergau is not named after the Obers.

Freddy Stohlmann says that tea will be brought into this country. The war be d d, he must have his stimulants. Mort Fry is glad he and the chee-ild are not in London at present. Zeppelins are dangerous play toys for Class Boys. We have a little story on "Big" and a big story on Little. Which should we tell? Our Knight of the Towering Collar and Giddy Neckerchiefs- William A. Keys, is married. They say it is the tie that binds. Poor Herb Boas had to flee from Canada with a chee-ild under each arm after the outbreak of the war. His stock of Canadian dimes is very handy for tippping purposes in New York, he says. David Bonner was seen leaving the Penn Station in New York after the Yale game, in a taxicab. Why didn't you make her walk, Dave, didn't you lose enough as it was? Edgar Baker, Ji"-, is a rising C.E. He is cutting parabolas and hyperbolas in the air at cavalry drills in New York.

We are told Ed Booth goes to bed oily and gets up oily. He always was smooth. Norm Carroll marooned in California, was found on the Barbary coast one summer dawn looking for gold fishes. Some say he is banking on making a fortune in fruit. What? Peaches? Woodrow Wilson says we are a good class "relatively speaking." James Woodrow of illustrious '09 is responsible for this bond. Bill Zinsser brings out a bulls-eye varnish during war time- not bad Bill? Art Samuels is not going to lead the band at reunion next year. Wake up ! boy, you're dreaming ! We are only going to spring one more of these and then we close. Pink Henderson was born on St. Patrick's Day.

Ed attended Fifth Reunion. 41 Boston, March 9, 1915. 95 Pinckney St. Dear Josh : Boston — where I am sojourning at present, working for the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, is "a far county" with respect to Princeton. To hear Princeton spoken of as a southern college and to have to listen to continual smug conversation about the University — meaning just one thing — Hawvawd — make one believe the say that "New England is not a place, but a state of mind." Holley Clark came over here on his first visit last September to spy out the land and after seeing "Repayment Car" for "Pay-as-you-enter" and "crustaceans" for "shell-fish" on a hotel menu he was convinced that the humorous side of Boston had not been overdrawn. Here is one that appeared in one of Boston's own papers a few days ago : "I live in dear old Boston The home of beans and cod Where the Cabots speak only with Lowells And the Lowells speak only with God." One thing about this city that is not well enough advertised is that every Wednesday at one o'clock a few do gather together for lunch at Bova's res- taurant on Arch Street, and have some beans and cod together, and they be all Princeton men. If any of the class of 1909 happen to be in these parts for either pleasure or business on that day I hope they will drop in and they can be sure of a warm welcome. I do not know that I can add anything of a personal nature which is not given in the statistics sent you some time ago. If all our reunions are as good as the Fifth we will have to print some S. R. O. signs and hang them outside the tent of an evening. With kind regards, I am, Fraternally, "Eddy" Annin. I hope this letter is in time for the book. 10 NORMAN ARMOUR A.B. a Allison House, Princeton, N. J. he 15 A Graduate College, Princeton, N. J. Studying. Born in Brighton, England, on Oct. 14, 1887.

Dear Josh : Glad to get your letter and hear that the reunion plans are coming along so well. The costumes sound cool, which is the main thing. Don't be afraid of lack of originality if you do go back to the Garden of Eden for a few suggestions on the subject of dress. My own history since our big Third Reunion, will not take up much space. The summer of 1912 I spent at work in the American Embassy at Vienna (please note the "at work"). The fall of 1912 I resumed work at the Har- vard Law School. The place seemed sadder and quieter than before, rhe reason being the departure of such sterling barristers as Squire Cass, die gebriider Myers and other '09 lights. However Fred Mayer and myself ap- plied ourselves assiduously to the sheep-skin tomes and the following June saw us southward bound, from Cambridge. Unfortunately exams prevented my attending our "Fourth" which I hear was well up to standard. The summer of 1913 I spent sleeping in Princeton and working in Newark. My brief career as a lawyer (police take notice) was spent in that pretty little New Jersey town nestled on the banks of the pleasantly purling Passaic. During the hot summer months it was a cooling and refreshing sight to see Harry Trimble and Dick Hartshorne mounting the Court House steps on their way to uphold the cause of the downtrodden and oppressed. June 1914, saw me finally ensconced on the safe side of the New Jersey Bar which feat was accomplished just in time to land me inside the tent tor our Fifth. Where those days went, I don't know. It certainly was a great reunion. The first thing I knew the tent was gone, and I was alone wi'.h Maury discussing the Battle of Trenton. Maury told me in confidence he didn't blame the poor old Hessians for getting drunk in Trenton on Nev/ Year's eve. He thought Washington was pretty hard-hearted to take advan- tage of it. After last summer spent in the woods of Maine and Canada, I took up Graduate work in International Law and History, and have had a splendid year here in the Graduate College. I expect to be on hand in June. We cannot have too many cooks this year. Hope Germany's being at war won't affect the quality or quantity of the "refreshments." Hoping to see you soon. Sincerely yours, Norman Armour. II JOHN TAYLOR ARMS a Care of Arms & Drury, 131 1 "G" Street, N. W. AA^ashington, D. C. b 161 Henry Street, Brooklyn, N. Y'. c 542 Fifth Ave., New York City.

To the members of the Class of 1909, Gentlemen : I would write of Reunions, of Reunion tents, and of Reunion banquets. There is much in all of these that I, for one, would like to see changed. I ask you to call into mind your definite impressions of Reunion. Let the knocking department speak first. Misfit tawdriness, noise, a band, constant marching to nowhere, the tent, the odor of stale beer, artificial sentiment, everything thoroughly organized, the fifth annual installment of a never original drewel, more noise, weariness, emptiness, a graphic description by contortion of how to escape from a straight jacket when you do reach the asylum, things worse, things worse, everything but the worst, and then they say we had a successful reunion ! I frankly have never felt much more bored, or lost, or lonely than in a Reunion tent. And outside, on the campus, the darkness is so dark, and the quietness so quiet, particularly for the effete and city bred. To be sure, many offer and assure me of a certain palliative for such mawkish sentiments, but my discovery is that they are themselves next morning a prey to worse. 45 And I am always pierced 'by the thought that this organized Tommy- twaddle is not what a large body of us want at Reunions. I have talked with many men who have felt more earnestly and deeply what I have. Right here get my note, which is not moral reform, nor the abolishment of the tent for those who may really enjoy it, but as I am sure there are others who want something different, to find out if it would not be possible to make the attempt to get it. To turn the picture to the praising department. First, let's hear our many cynical friends, who assure me there is nothing in the 'Reunion except the beer. They say we shake hands with men we never knew in college, and we ask after their health, and we find out their business, and then we ask after their health again. That is all. I would remind them of the long thrilling talk with the man going down in the train on your respective businesses. How you lied about wonderful success, and parried the salary question (for you didn't dare to tell what you made), and nearly fainted when he told you his commission in the last six months. Later, to be sure, you met a man in his of^ce v/ho told you the real truth, but was your own tale strictly accurate? A.B. that I am, the C.E. fresh from the Argentine where he was padrone to eight hundred live souls, the only boss of fifty square and wild miles, inspires me even to hat taking off. Or, there is the man who wrote a play, and told me of its soul, and of the managers. And again, whatever my views on the foreign mission field, the man who will go to China, or Eastern Syria, or Patagonia to stay perhaps a decade, takes me beyond the hat off period. Then I would point out to the cynics the interest of talking to the man who like themselves is only plugging along slowly. I, myself, like to talk to my fellow clerks. We have learned in our five years to pierce many a bubble of our big and successful brother. It always delights my soul to bring low the proud V.P., the fat sales-manager, the rich bond salesman, compare him to my standard and my measure, and many times, though not always, to find that the possibility of equalizing the problem is not impossible, and that he too has failed as often and in as much as I have. Besides, we clerks still have the romance of planning the future, when we shall ourselves conquer the world. And then the pleasure of home going with old thoughts restarted, and pos- sibly a stray and new thought mixing you all up quite pleasantly, with old friendship renewed, and with some men in your thoughts, who were strangers to you at Princeton but whom you will be glad to see again, and who you hope v.-ill be glad to see you when the city or the country bumps you together again. I would summarize the Real of Reunion thus : 1. The pleasure of companionship. 2. The inspiration of some and in some. 3. The satisfaction that the average is no better than you, and is failing as often. Now to what I advocate. The Real of Reunion we have most of us gained at odd moments, on the train coming or going, walking to the tent, or about the campus, and so on. Let me state right now I believe in democracy, and in the rights of democracy. If we want something, let us try to get it.

I don't want canned sentiment. I don't plead for an opportunity for fanatics to plead their cause of social service or aught else. But I ask is it not possible while the Big Tent is tenting, for those of us who would do something else to do it? Surely, it may be boring, but merciful Heavens, could it be more awful than the fifth annual instalment of the inimitable inanity ? What is needed is a more or less quiet place, away from the tent. Beer, why not, but not too much of it, and all that goes with too much. A pleasant feeling of sociability, and a program. Of course, here's the rubber. But I know it could be worked out. There is the breadth of the faculty to draw on for what we will. I have always wanted to know what the University is doing. Why not ask some member to come and really tell us what is going on. And athletics ; an opportunity to learn what the coaches are doing, and what they plan, told if possible by themselves, or through a talk by the football cap- tain. And then there is ourselves. We could work up something. You believe it impossible, I know it isn't. I am pretty well bored with many things, but I have never failed to be interested in listening to the recital of what a man is doing, provided he also tells you what he is planning and hopes to do. Natural, simple no more style than we are capable of, with the opportunity for questioning, and if it don't prove more interesting than the inanities, we can let out a fanatic. Or this year there is the War. If we couldn't work up something on that, why this isn't an idea at all. What I advocate, then, for those of us who will not the Tent, is this. At the time when the Tent is tenting hardest, an opportunity to enjoy com- pionship in a different and somewhat quieter corner of the campus, with a definite program, made as interesting and also as positive as can be. The purpose of this to open to all of the class who will the Real of Reunion. I am not trying to sell or push this scheme, but I am positively interested in it and prepared to do what I can. If you are interested, write me, if only a postal. There must be some general demand for it, or the attempt were fruitless. Therefore we must know of this demand, so write me a line, if you want anything done. I understand the plans are under way for a Sixth bigger than the Fifth. I am, gentlemen.

Dear Classmates : The little appeal at the head of the Fifth Year Record blank which heads, "What kind of a class would my class be, If every member were just like me?" is irresistible. I am so anxious to know what the rest of you are all doing that I would hate to think what the result would be if every man followed my first inclination to postpone this letter writing business indefinitely and I therefore "take pen in hand" to do my share. After taking a two year's graduate course in electrical engineering, at Princeton, I started in on the game of "getting experience" which is the usual lot of the newly graduated engineer and is a more or less euphoneous name for getting up at six and working for ten hours in a dirt}' machine shop up to one's eyelids in oil and grease, on a minimum wage. To go the whole hog and banish cleanliness entirely, I chose Pittsburgh and spent a year and a half in the Westinghouse shops. Joe Chamberlain '07, was in my class in the electrical school and also joined the Westinghouse Co. and being companions in misery, we hitched up together on the second floor of a house that displayed a "rooms for rent" sign in the front window and there of an evening we discussed the latest dope from "the little burgh." A year ago last spring we both got restless. Joe got to talking about how the prairie would be in bloom down home in Texas and how fine it would feel to get astride a pony again and pretty soon he lit out for San Antonio. I persuaded the Company to send me to the electrified division of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. iR. and spent the summer at Stamford, Conn., engaged in a more or less successful effort to keep the electrical equipment of that road off the junk pile. In the fall, I moved to New York and Floyd Crosby and I together with a Lehigh man spent a very pleasant winter together in the latter's apartments near Washington Square, enjoying the delights of civilization once more after my exile in Pittsburgh. I don't mean to knock Pittsburgh, though. Outside of the dirt and the fact that I was a stranger there, I liked the city and in some ways would rather live there than in the East. Last spring I took a vacation and with Alfred Olcott went to Ashville, N. C, to visit Wells Kerr and Don Roberts, who are teaching school there. We hired horses and went off for a four day's trip in the mountains around Ashville (which are the highest East of the Rockies), and had a delightful and adventurous journey. I am now located in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania working for the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Co. We generate power here from the waste product of the mines and in addition to transmitting it to the region 49 around Allentown and Easton, we are installing a large amount of electrical apparatus in the collieries. We are sprinkling the landscape with sub-stations and among other things will put into operation shortly the two largest electrical mine hoists in the country. My best wishes to all "ought niners," Yours as ever, Bill Arnett. 14 OSCAR MEREDITH AUERBACH a The Sherman, Washington, D. C. h 44 Walnut Street, Newark, N. J. c Care of J. H.

Dear Josh : You say you want me to write and tell you what I've been doing since the memorable and far-famed year of 1909. Well, I'm still with the good ship Harris, Forbes & Company, and together with those well-known financiers, E. T. Holsapple and C. Vezin. Am 'busy trying to separate investors from their hard-earned coin. The war gave the bond business a pretty stififjolt at first, but now everything is going along again in good shape. For five years I was in the buying end of our business specializing on public utility bonds — gas, electric light and power street railway, water and telephone. Since last November, however, I have gone into the selling end here in New York City and like it immensely. Haven't missed a reunion or a big game yet and don't intend to. Am looking forward to our "Sixth" in June and hope we will have a bunch back. Here's hoping that every member of '09 is well and happy and that the "first six years out" have started everybody on the road to success. As ever, Doug. 19 ELMER ANDREW BARCHFELD Litt.B. ah 106 South Eighteenth Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. c 1115 Frick Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa. Attorney-at-law. Born May 2y, 1886.

I cannot write a letter with much breeze to it, as I save all my breeze and speed for Commencement. But in order not to miss my nook in the Class Record, J will write a couple of lines biographically speaking and then bid adieu. Since leaving Columbia in June, 1912, I have either worked in or visited nearly every mining camp in the western country and also found time to take a side trip to Anticosti Island, Canada, where I put in a very pleasant winter of five months with Bill Hallimond. Since last May I have 'been killing time "till the war is over" with the Palisades Park Commission up the Hudson near Bear Mt., N. Y. After that, if I do not happen to be married, I suppose it will he on the road again, always returning, I trust, in time for our (Reunion each year. And in conclusion, I would like to put in a strong plea for a Reunion of the Class every year as that is the only bright spot a poor 'bachelor has to look forward to, in his miserable existence. Best to you. Josh, and will see you at the dinner this winter. Will send you a picture if I can find one and it is not too late. As ever, John C.

Dear Josh : I was under the impression that enclosed form I had mailed to you long ago and hope still in time. Some time early in February, I suppose the Class dinner will be pulled off, and I would give a hell of lot to be there but as you can readily understand, heing so far away, it is impossible. I did a lot in getting fcack to the "Fifth" and I am sure no one present was happier than I. It was worth anything and all praise to the Committee for their work in making it such a huge success. I expect to be there sure for the "Tenth" — perhaps the "Seventh." At the dinner give all the "Studes" my best, and though not present in body, my thoughts soul and heart will be "with you all" and if possible will celebrate down here that night by getting a "peach" — "a perfectly good one." Keep me, posted of all doings, for though far away, I don't want to feel I am completely out of it. Ever yours, Ed R. Beck. 54 22 EDWARD WILLIAMS BECKWITH ab c St. Luke's Hospital, New York City.

Nesterville, Ontario, April 19, 1915. My Dear Josh : - Your notice in the Alumni Weekly reminds me that I have not sent you any dope concerning self for the Fifth year book. I am located in an outpost of civilization called Nesterville in Ontario, Canada, occupation manufacturing lumber, and that only means ten hours per diem these war times if one wants to keep manufacturing. The climate in these out of way places is very salubrious, no cinders in the air, nor glare from the bright lights to rob one from proper rest, so a little work does not come amiss. Have been in the lumber business about four years but only been sentenced here two years. At present there is no pardon in sight, my ofifense must have been very grave. S6 The out-of-door life here is quite enjoyable. We have good hunting and nearly every fall we arrange a moose hunting trip. Occasionally I get down to Chicago and Toronto which make very delightful changes. Would 'be pleased to see any students desiring to take a rest at any time. We run open ibachelor quarters and there is always room in the trenches for one more. With best regards to all, I am as ever. H. W. Bishop '09. 28 HARRY C. BLACK Litt.B. a b "The Washington" Mt.

Herb has attended our Second, Fourth and Fifth Reunions. Dear Josh : You ask for a letter on the past five years of my life. They have been spent to a great extent in jumping from one place to another: El Paso, Texas, working in a railroad company and travelling through West Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Northern Mexico, then after two years there, back to New York where I entered the Hamburg American Line, which work seems to have predestined me for a wandering existence. New York, New Orleans, Chicago, Hamburg, Montreal have been my various places of resi- dence during the past three years, the last stay having been cut short by the unfortunate trend of European affairs, so that now I am back in New York, where I hope to remain, at least as my headquarters. The fall of 1913 and winter of 1914, most of which T spent in Hamburg, saw me travelling on business through Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, and along the German- Russian frontier. During the above period, despite my wanderings I have managed to keep 58 POST CARD SERIES NO. 4— PLAYING CARDS I — Heki; Boas. 2 — Clarence Southerland. 3 — SpE^XE Gordon. 4 — Spence Thraner. 5 — Tug Murray. 6 — Bill Keys. up with the rest of the class, or shall I say best, and in October, 1910, I was married and have two sons, one three years old and one four months, who I trust, will some day enter Princeton. I have been to three out of our five reunions, missed out on the other two on account of being in El Paso and in New Orleans at the time. You have a very big work ahead of you compiling the very interesting record and so I will not add to your labors by writing a letter which might have to be cut down, or "censored," and so I will close with every good wish, from Yours very sincerely.

Dear Josh : ■ . - I'm not married yet or soon. Even if I did take a girl to a show three 60 years ago, that was a dirty Irish trick of yours in "After three years" and am writing you a letter this time, so you can't pull any of -that stuff again. You see I learned my lesson. But if I ever got you down, you can bet you'll say "Uncle." Since 1912 have been trying to make both ends meet by sticking to engi- neering from the contracting end with Henry Steers, Inc., until January, 1914, and spent most of the time in Maryland on the Bush & Gunpowder Rivers (God bless them with the accent on the bless) building bridges for the P. R. R. One was a mile long and the other about three thousand feet reinforced concrete over a "tidal estuary" as one of the Penn engineers put it, but in A.B. language "a damn swamp." Then got sent up to Newark Bay rebuilding the Pennsy bridge that had burnt down and on the night shift. It rained all the time and just believe me, Newark Bay on a rainy night is a lovely spot. - After that, did the estimating for the company, till I left in January to go in business with Harold Barker a very old friend, who didn't see the light ^d went to Brown. We are contractors and engineers and specializing on concrete and bituminous concrete roads. We haven't stolen anything yet that I've seen, but our friends tell us that all road contractors are crooks there- fore we must be, so there's still hope for a little honest graft. - We are building some concrete roads over in Greenwich, Conn., and I've got to be there to-morrow morning at seven and it's late now, so see you at the Yale game. Josh, good luck to you and good night, (Signed) Dave. 34 LESTER HARRY BOOKER A.B. a Helena, Mont. h Great Falls, Mont. c Commercial National Bank, Great Falls, Mont. Banking.

Helena, Mont., March 6, igiS- Dear Josh : ■ Several months ago I started to write you the story of my life for the past live'years or so, and it seemed a difficult task to inject any real interest into my rather prosaic career. I had been employed continuously since leaving col- 61 lege, by the same institution — the National Bank of Montana, and while I had made progress in my work it had not been a sudden rise to fame or even notoriety. Starting in as a bookkeeper I had passed up through the various stages until I had reached the far-from-dizzy height of receiving teller. As each advancement was more lucrative I constantly widened my activities until in June, 1913, I took the one big leap and became an old staid married man. My wife, formerly Miss Celeste Eastlake, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Lewis S. Eastlake of Chicago, 111. While all loyal 'ogers were reuning that year, I was honej^mooning and strange to say I didn't seem to envy the fellows back in the big tent, although I would have given most anything to have been there long enough to freshen up the old friendship that time and distance are so apt to erase. The next big event in our little home was the arrival of the "Stork Special," which stopped at our door on Oct. 12, 1914, and left us a fine nine pound girl. Tt took me several weeks to get the top 'buttons of my waistcoat buttoned but now the paternal air has adjusted itself to my shoulders and I am now just a doting father. Already in these few months, our young hopeful has strug- gled through an attack of bronchial pneumonia, but she is back in the heavy- weight class again and no one would ever guess she had -been so sick. As far as I could see it was my lot to keep on in the same old way, for of course, advancement in a small institution is necessarily slow. But suddenly everything has changed. Within a week an opportunity has presented itself and been promptly grasped. Last week I was elected to the position of Assistant Cashier with the Commercial National Bank of Great Falls, Mont., and am now actively engaged in making preparations to move there and take up my new duties. Bill O'Brien is located at Great Falls now so we will no doubt have several reunions of our own. Bill is with a firm of contractors and seems wedded to this western country. There have been several positions which I am compelled to give up on account of my move, that is positions outside of the ibank. For the past two years I have been Secretary of the Montana iCIub, one of the finest social clubs of the Northwest. There are several Princeton men on its membership roll, including George G. E. Neill '07, Dr. P. G. Cole '06, C. E. Larabie '09 of Deer Lodge, Mont., and myself. During the past winter this Princeton crowd has been trying to interest Helena boys in our old school and while it has been but a small service, we have all worked with the hope that we were promoting the interests of Princeton. I have also acted as Treasurer for the Helena Philharmonic Society and in the same capacity for the State of Montana Advancement Association, an organization designed to promote healthful, constructive legislation. During this past fall and winter this latter organization has waged a successful cam- paign for a just and reasonable Workmen's Compensation Act. Well, Josh, I have tried to tell you just about all that has happened since I left Princeton and I hope I have not crowded in so much of self that I have excluded heartiest wishes and greetings to all other struggling 'ogers. li any of them ever turn their faces westward there is one place at least where they will b'i accorded a hearty welcome for it is seldom that I see any of the old 62 POST CARD SERIES NO. 5— VOCATIONAL I — CuRLEY Peacock — Lawyer. 2 — Gene Kelly — Publisher. 3 — Mel Blun — Manufacturer. 4 — Milt Matter — Banker. 5 — Joe Cook — Business Man. 6 — Sadie Sidwell — Teacher. familiar faces out this way and a trip to Princeton in June cannot always be arranged. With best good wishes to yourself and all the class, Sincerely yours, L. H. Booker. 35 ALBERT EDWARD BOOTH B.S. a b c 124 Jackson Ave., Bradford, Pa. Oil Producer. Born on July 18, 1887.

Ed attended our Third Reunion. 59 S. Euclid Ave., Bellevue, Pa. December 7, 1914. My dear Josh : Having been so unfortunate as to miss our Fifth last June, I am looking forward with no little pleasure to the edition of the new number of the "iRecord." I anticipate many a pleasant hour here in my study with the fellows when it arrives. Often I take down the old Triennial copy from the 64 shelf and become so engrossed in it that on the day following such an excursion into memory and dreamland, I hear the shuffling of student's feet in front of my desk, their owners impatient at the instructor's evident lack of preparation, and then, later in the day, am obliged to bear the ignomy of not being able to "state the facts and the law in the case of )Roe vs. Doe, 15 P. D. Q. 726." For, you will please understand that, during part of the day, I answer to the quite respectable title of Professor of Technical English in the Schools of Engineering and Mines of the University of Pittsburgh, while for the remainder of the same day I sit humbly at the feet of divers more or less learned gentlemen of the faculty of the Law School of the same institution, among whom is none other than our own "Johnny" Buchanan, and who, I beg leave to observe, is to be categoried, very emphatically, as belonging to the former group. You may well conclude from the foregoing, when considered in connection with the fact that Saturday nights and most of Sundays find me engaged in an attempt to coax as much harmony as possible from the very unharmonious choir and as little discord as possible from the very discordant organ of Christ Episcopal Church, that time does not lie exactly heavily upon my hands. The "gude wife" frequently admonishes me with a gentle inquiry if I am aware of her existence, only to receive the diplomatic answer that she must not be jealous of these temporal things, for they only assist in their attain- ment toward a fuller appreciation of her own dear self ! Whether or not an office filled with a legal atmosphere — and empty chairs, will next fall prove a welcome change from the present humdrum monotony must, until then, remain a matter of conjecture. At any rate, the "shingle"' will be out and I shall be in, with a right hand ready to welcome any Naughty-niner that happens my way (and a left that will try to behave itself at least as honestly as the average lawyer's is supposed to). Faithfully yours, Ed Bothwell. 37 SHERWOOD BUTLER BOSWORTH a b c 296 Central Park West, New York City. Accountant. Born in Utica, N. Y., July 30, 1886.

Dear Josh : It's hard to realize that I haven't seen a member of the class for nearly two years, but I've been just that much of an exile. The biggest disappoint- ment of my life was when I just barely missed going 6ack to the Fifth last June and I'll always regret it even though it was due to cirmumstances which I couldn't control. My autobiography for the past five years is brief and uneventful. I spent half of my first year with an irrigation company in Idaho. Then I drifted to railroad work with the Frisco Line in Texas. With the exception of a few months on a development project in California in 1913, I have spent the rest of my career since graduation with the Frisco and its subsidiaries in Texas, Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas and am now with the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico which became independent of the hig system shortly after the receivership last year. Haven't 'been east since Christmas 1912, but I'm swaying 'between a desire to go home this winter to see a little "sure nuff" snow and a hankering to wait for the big Sixth next June. At this writing the odds are in favor of the big tent. You fellows who are within hailing distance of Princeton don't realize what a hardship it is to have to pass up reunions year after year. That's my chief objection to Texas. My only glimpse of the campus since our last eventful year as undergraduates, was at our second reunion in 191 1 and I'm firmly resolved that, should I ever be fortunate enough to live in the east again, I'll make up for lost time and trot off to the old town at the least semblance of a provocation. Here's hoping that the success you've had during the past five years will repeat itself many times before we're ten years out. Sincerely, Jos. F. Boyd. 66 39 RALPH STEWART BOYESEN ab c Portland Block, Chicago, 111. Not heard from since leaving college in 1905.

Dear Josh : Sorry to add to your troubles by writing at this late date, the fact is that I have just kept putting off unthinkingly until I saw in the Alumni Weekly that all letters must be in by the 15th. I don't know if this will reach you in time for puhlication, but still I am taking a chance and hope for the worst. We just moved into what I hope is to be our permanent home last Novem- ber, and ever since then have had our hands full getting settled and straight- ened out. There has been so much to do that we have frequently found it 67 necessary to employ convict labor. I enclose a photo of one of my chain gangs, the two on the ends are particularly hard looking bums, but I kept them quiet with plenty of hard work and fire-water. You can probably recog- nize them as the famous Myers Bros, of Princeton, Harvard Law School, etc., etc. You could tell Charley anywhere by his hat. The other lad with his elbow planted on my manly bosom never went to prison — I mean Princeton, but I couldn't cut him out of the picture without personal injury to myself and perhaps loss of life, so I had to let him stay. "Chick" Turner has been out once or twice in bad weather when he couldn't be worked outside — but I've never succeeded in getting him to perform in fair weather. Among out of town visitors in addition to the Myers Bros., we have had "J- R-" Maury sometimes called James and R. Newton Lupper, the king of Spring- field, Ohio. Bo'b arrived Monday looking natural as life and almost human. I had to keep him outside the house until the children went to bed, he frightened them so, they thought he was an "Ourang-Outang" — ^he lasted two days and then retired to Springfield to rest. We have a near farm out here of sixty-nine acres — just at present we are getting ready for spring planting. The trees are all getting green, some of the shrubbery is flowering and crocuses and hyacinths have been out for some time. It's a great life, and I get spring fever pretty badly every morn- ing when I have to beat it to town, where I am still slaving in the Munsey Trust Co., hoping some day to be a cashier as "Chap"' Spencer is or maybe outstrip him, even, and be a president or board of directors. In addition to the picture of which I spoke above I enclose one of my oldest son, at present about two and a half years old. I won't say much about him except that he's a great kid. In closing, here's to a most succesful reunion this year and best wishes to all the class. Yours in crime, Stans Brady. 42 JAMES LAWRENCE BREESE B.S. a b 27 West 43rd Street, New York City. c American Locomotive Co., Motor Truck Department, New York City. Consulting Automobile Engineer.

Gentlemen : Having put in nearly 500 hours of work and pleasure, pursuing you all relentlessly from apartment house to bungalow and from bungalow to busi- ness ; prying into the ancient and modern history of your pedigree and progen\r, collating all your habits, favorite fish, indoor sport, and shrine of worship, the whole tone of this letter should be forgiveness for all crimes committed. But the job 'jf author, when it is combined with that of Census Taker and Family Photographer is some little job and is my only plea for clemency. I trust that by this time we have gathered enough folk lore to make that General Biographer work overtime and I assure you that you will not be bothered again. Having requested each man to relate his history since graduation, I submit the following to avoid collision with my critical colleagues. Graduating a full-fledged C.E., I went into the world expecting to build a Brooklyn Bridge or a Xew York sk3fscraper the following week, but the first bump was to find myself way up in a Connecticut swamp (which the towns- people hoped me to convert into a reservoir) in charge of seventy-three full blooded wops. The incidents and accidents in that county, where men swap wives for horses, would furnish material for several Jack London novels. There I got my first taste of real C.E. life and probably my last and resolved to enter the manufacturing game. The next scene shifts to an asbestos factory in the wilds of Brooklyn, where twelve hours per diem was in vogue. Here I learned how to make anything from pipe-covering to a theatre curtain. When you consider covering- pipes alone in the Municipal Bldg. in New York City totaled up $75,000.00 you can get some idea of what it must cost to erect a skyscraper. The ex- perience gained here in cost system was well worth while. My next adventure was with a lithographing machinery house. To learn how to produce economically and artistically anything from a label to a poster at a time when lithographing was undergoing momentous changes in method of production and machinery was mightily interesting work. To sell these machines costing anywhere from $4500.00 to $25,000.00 necessi- tated living with one hand on my grip and repeated traveling about the coun- try. On my trips these five years I think I saw nearly every Ought Nine man living this side of the Mississippi. That is in any really respectable size town. As living on the road is not a very happy lot for a married man, I looked about for a little plant that I could build up and where the work would keep me nearer home. The opportunity presented itself this spring in the form of a dentifrice which had been on the market for fifteen years, but had been neglected from every business and advertising viewpoint. "Brush and Tooth-paste. — Very good ! Eddy," says I. While asbestos, lithograph machines and tooth paste are not exactly along the same line, still the main business principles of manufacture are identical, be it horseshoe nails or submarines. Upon investigation I learned that this dentifrice had a reputation second to none and was being recommended by the dental profession all over the country, So on the fifth day of February, 1915, I started in the dentifrice business, as Treasurer and General Manager of the Dentacura Company of Newark, N. J. The new white tube and carton, plus a little advertising at a time when the care of the teeth was being emphasized by the Board of Education, has materially increased our little business and we are enthusiastic- ally planning new schemes for future development. We also manufacture several other toilet preparations which Avill be brought to the front in short order. And so it goes. 71 Such is the narrative of my first five years and about all I can say is that I've just started and hope by the tenth year to report progress. Your clem- ency, gentlemen for all this extended lecture on the vocational adventures of Josh Brush. With heartiest well wishes and hoping to see you all at the Big Seventh. As ever, your classmate, Josh Brush. 46 JOHN GRIER BUCHANAN A.B. a b 1409 North Highland Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. c 1 55 1 Frick Building Annex, Pittsburgh, Pa. Attorney-at-Law.

Dear Josh : Long ago I managed to accomplish the mechanical tasks of filling out the blanks which you sent me, but I find it very much harder to write when I'm not answering questions — hence the delay as to this letter. Because I feel guilty by reason of the long delay, I can't wait to scare up something in- teresting to say, but at the expense of dullness will be, to use your words, "as personal as possible," and merely say what's happened to me since the Triennial. I graduated from Harvard Law School, where the hardest work I've ever had to do was in large measure compensated for by the fact that I v^^as always with a big body of Princeton men, a week or two after the Third Reunion, missing that big even on account of examinations at the time when it became history. I had a long vacation that summer, at Eaton's Ranch in Wyoming and on a horseback trip through Yellowstone Park, and short vacations the next two summers, spent partly at our Fourth and Fifth Re- unions and partly at Beaumaris in Canada. With the exception of these trips and one to Atlantic City this fall, when I was recovering from a bad attack of hay fever, I have been steadily at work here since Sept. 16, 1912, chiefly for the firm of Gordon & Smith, but on a small scale on my own account also. This year I am varying the usual run of work a little by teaching a course in Conflict of Laws in the Pittsburgh Law School, and contrary to my fears am finding it quite interesting — 'but you see I'm not one of the victims of the teaching. But I won't go into detail about my work, 72 for it's growing late and I've talked enough, and the practice of law, while a very interesting thing to be engaged in, is a very unexciting thing to hear about. I haven't thought it worth while to run the risk of breaking a photogra- pher's camera since McManus did mj' face for the Class Album, 'but if I can find any snapshot in the possession of my friends to take the place of the inane looking copy made of me at the tent last June, I'll send it by a later post. With best wishes to all the Class. Always your friend, John G. B. 47 DANIEL SPENCER BUDD C.E. a b c Chester, N. J. Eng^ineering and Contracting. Born in Chester, N. J., June 9, 1887. Son of Joseph Daniel Budd of Chester, X. J., and Jennie Xelson Spencer of Berkshire Valley, X. J. Prepared at Blair Academy. Entered Princeton in 1905, graduated 1909 — third group. Member of Terrace Club. With Taylor-Wharton Iron & Steel Co. from 1909-1910. With Long Island Railroad from 1910-1912. Assisted in construction of garbage disposal plant for Boston, Mass., in 1913. Since then farming at Chester, X. J., and now with Salmon Bros., Road Builders & Contractors at Point Claire, Quebec. Dan attended our First, Second, Third and Fourth Reunions. Chester, X^. J., Jan. 19, 1915. Dear Josh : The return of the accompanying "able" Class Dinner card reminds me that there is still outstanding some Fifth Year Record "dope," which I have endeavored to impart on the enclosed blank. The Biographical ^Record I have already answered. As to my doings since our Triennial, the chronicle is not a long one. At the beginning of the year 1912, I left the Long Island Railroad to assist in the design and erection of a garbage disposal plant at Boston — a rather smelly job at which the Bostonians naturally turned up their noses, hut which proved very interesting from an engineering standpoint. There were several other Ought Xiners living under the shadow of Har- vard, which helped make my stay in Boston a pleasant one. Then followed a most enjoyable — if not profitable— year of farming, during which agricul- tural 'bulletins were my chief literary diversions. Once in awhile I could, inveigle Ritchie Smith out for a week-end, and once or twice Ernest Wyckoff stopped a minute with his family on their way to X^ew York. Last June this term of rural independence was brought abruptly to a close by my being sent to Canada to build roads, and hence I missed the Fifth Reunion — a catastrophe which my contractor friends failed to realize. How- ever, the war and the winter have put a stop to construction activities in that 73 quarter, and so now I have plenty of time to look forward to the Big Dinner in New York. Until then, bye-bye. Sincerely, Dan Budd. 48 JOHN CHRISTIAN BULLITT ab c 1322 Locust Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Not heard from since leaving college in 1906.

Dear Josh : You certainly must think me a "rotter" for being so tardy in sending in the statistical blank, and can only ofifer as an excuse my being such a rotten correspondent, and this you know already. The most important thing that has happened to me since last Commence- ment, was the birth of our second child, Jane Bunting, born Aug. 28, 1914- I think her 'big brother, who is now well over four years old, will be right on the job taking her around and showing her a good time a few years hence. The business world, as far as financial remuneration is concerned has certainly given me the go-by, but there is hope I suppose, the road to fortune is rough and very much up grade. For the past year I have been trying to scratch up some new business for the United Gas Improvement Co. here in Philadelphia, meeting with various successes and various failures. How- ever, we should worry ! Am terribly sorry, but will be unable to make the New York dinner this year, but will certainly be on the job next June. Yours, Aubrey R.

Fats" has been unable to attend our Reunions on account of distance, but wait! December 7, 1914. Dear Josh : I have waited until the last moment to write this letter in the vain hope that in the meantime something would happen to me which might be of some interest to the other members of the class hut Bill Prizer has just called me up and demanded that I "get that letter in" so you will have to be satisfied with just the usual line. As a matter of fact it only seems a few months since I faced a similar predicament in trying to write you a letter for the Triennial Book. As you know I have been in the lumber business ever since I left Princeton and about the only thing worthy of note that has happened to me since I wrote you that last letter some two years ago was my appoint- ment as manager of the Eastern Sales Office of the Long-Bell Lumber Com- pany about the middle of last summer. Since that time I have been living in Philadelphia, and as I had been back to Princeton only once in five years you can realize how much I enjoy being where I can see some of the fellows occasionally. I am going to try to come up to the '09 dinner in February and, will surely be hack in June unless I am sent to Arkansas or South America or somewhere else before that time. I am not married, nor engaged, nor in that frame of mind which makes either possible, or desirable, but I am getting some very excellent training for that prevalent and popular state of servitude by associating with friends who have been blessed with offspring. It startles me sometimes, Josh, when I observe a proud parent holding his second son, or daughter, in a graceful, easy way that can only be attained through long practice, to remember that only a few years ago this same man wagered much coin of the realm that he could put down ten beers in half an hour and make them stay there fifteen minutes, and lost, both the wager and the heers, before an enthusias- tic audience at Doc's. The five years since June, 1909, have been mighty pleasant ones for me as well as mildly profitable and exceedingly busy. With kindest regards to all the fellows, I am, Most Sincerely, "Fats" Caldwell. 56 WILLIAM ROBERTS CAMERON A.B. a b 305 Second Ave., Irvin, Pa. c Irvin Foundry & Mine Car Co., Irvin, Pa.

Member of Kansas City Athletic Club and Princeton Engineering Association. Married Miss Narcissa Stevenson Beal at Pittsburgh, Pa., on July 6, 1915- "Cam" attended our Second and Fifth Reunions. Irvin, Pa., Nov., 22, 1914. Dear Josh : The Yale game woke me up with a start — no letter to Josh yet. So here goes. At the time of our Triennial I was busily engaged on engineering work for a bankrupt western railroad at Kansas City, hut in August of that year, I went over to Cairo, 111., as City Engineer. Cairo is noted chiefly for its large "bad nigger" population and its overabundance of even worse saloons which run twenty-four hours per day, three hundred and sixty-five days per year. There was lots of opportunity to get good engineering experience there, but in January, 1913, the beginning of the rainy season, six and one-half inches in one day, and rotten politics were too much for me, and I struck out for dear old Pennsylvania again ; not, however, until I had the satisfaction of helping to start a movement, which culminated in April in a complete change of City government, and the installation of the Commission Form of Government. For the next year I worked at various kinds of work for several Pennsyl- vania mining companies. Diamond-drill, prospecting them as Mine Clerk, and later Construction Engineer. In February, 1914, I went with a manufacturing concern here in my home town which makes mine cars and wheels. My work is partly on the sales end. In the sales work I travel all over Western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. In my travels, as well as the Pittsburgh gang, I have had nice visits with two fellows who have not been with us for some time, Pete Graff, at Kittaming, Pa., and "Lawry" Lawrence, who is growing up with the thriving mining town of Logan, W. Va. You asked me to be personal. I have been. I will even go so far as to confide that thus far my endeavors to embark on a matrimonial venture, have met with no encouragement. With best wishes to yourself, and with heartfelt thanks to the class officers and the reunion committee for that corking reunion last June, I am. Sincerely yours.

Dear Joshua : I answered a lot of statistics a few months ago, hut to save you looking them up will fill in the blank sent and return it herewith. Will write you a letter sometime soon. Have spent two years in railroad engineering with the G. T. P. (Grand Trunk Pacific Ry.) in Canada and am back as an instructor in the engineer- ing department at Princeton. By the way, the head of the engineering de- partment here now is Professor Constant of Minnesota University, as you have no doubt heard, and the course is to be rearranged considerable, and I think improved. I'm in teaching for good and at Princeton for good, unless I get fired. Have taken a couple of years at the real work to keep one from getting too academic and intend to keep in touch with engineering practice by working during summer vacation if I can get a job. The only other item of interest is that I married the best girl in the world this summer. With best wishes to yourself. Sincerely, M. A. Campbell. 58 FARRINGTON REED CARPENTER Litt.B. a b c Hayden, Col. Attorn ey-at-Law. Born in Evanston, 111., on Aug. 10, 1886.

My dear Josh : I hear from you indirectly occasionally through some of the fellows you visit. I wish your travels would send you out here into the Rockies for I'd like to acquaint you with "the garden spot of the West" and acquaint myself with the latest bicker on the members of the Class of '09. I surely hated to miss the Fifth Reunion, but it's made me only the more determined t feet for what I hope will prove a long, long time. Since that hurried departure I have made headquarters near the border but safely on Uncle Sam's side of the fence. The Mexican rebel has given place to the American prospector in my scheme of things, and of the two the latter is much the hardest to dodge. As mining geologist for two of Arizona's copper companies, I have been hunting both for new ore in the old mines and for new mines to conquer. As the lure of gold (and copper) draws the prospector into the waste places — and believe me there are some waste places in the Southwest — it is my lot to follow him there, if he can- not be eluded. One gets a good wholesome respect for the wealth of imagina- tion bred in these old timers by close lifelong commune with the desert after he chased one of their will o' the wisps to earth over miles of trackless • desert. The only ought-niners who have strayed into these parts are Jimmie Beam and Cleve Dodge. The thought of the reunions and football games he was missing was too much for Jimmie, though, and he has left us for the efifete East. Cleve is in Mexico now not far over the line and we get together occasionally. I get mighty hungry now and then for a good old bicker session, but an invitation to come down and see the country is empty now. Arizona has gone dry ! Sincerely, Philip D. Wilson. 299 371 JAMES WOODROW A.B. ab 1301 Washington Street, Columbia, S. C. c University of South CaroHna, Cokmibia, S. C. Professor, Born- in Columbia, S. C, on June 9, 1889.

Dear Josh — or should I say, dear Fellows ? — Well, here goes : Dear Fellows : First of all I want to tell you a little story. It's about a man whom we all know and I think you will agree with me that he has missed his calling entirely and instead should have invented long e're this, a method for ex- tracting blood out of turnips and be making money in some way out of the blood. It was this way : I wrote what I considered a very nice personal letter to the person in question in answer to one from him, saying that in- asmuch as writing was not in my line, and most assuredly not the writing of interesting letters, and also that I had no pictures, that he would have to be content with my very best wishes for his success and the success of the individuals of the Class. Here's the postal I received in reply : "Any man who is a professor and can't write a letter to his friends for the Fifth Year Record, can't know an awful lot and ought to have taken a C.E. Course. I can get your picture from other sources. Fondly, lovingly, hopingly and prayerfully." With that little stinger, here goes : I think I'm supposed to tell something of my whereabouts work, habits, etc., whether it is of interest or not. So to it ! On leaving Princeton after the flap of the finest Tent in town had been dropped, I went to Deal Beach and spent a very enjoyable week visiting until time to go up to see the final game in New York. I then came home for a week and after straightening up my many (?) business affairs, jumped to the mountains of North Carolina for a rest of five weeks. This time was spent in sleeping, eating, golfing and tramping over the mountains. It was the calm before the storm. In the meantime war had broken out, and in South Carolina the political situation was getting hotter and hotter. I came home to do five good days' of work before the first Democratic Primary and 300 was on the run from early morning until the Polls closed, the daj' of the primary. After the close I sat in a box and counted the votes until two- thirty in the morning. We had won and South Carolina was freed of rotten officials and a gentleman had been elected to the Governor's chair for the first time in four years. It was not long then before College opened and my work began in earnest. There is not much to tell concerning my work at the University, except that until Thanksgiving I was kept very close with classroom duties three hours each morning and all of each afternoon helping with the football squad. The rest of the time- has been taken up in trying to find the ways and means for weathering the financial crisis that this part of the South is now going through. My cup is standing" on the mantle now and behind it is a framed picture of "Old North." Each time I come into my room I see it and I think of the dearest of all places and the best of all friends. I have not been able to carry out the promises I made in the tent, of giving it to a very attractive young lady and building a house around the two, only because I've not been able to make her say the word — or is it that our class has not found enough Queens to go around ? At any rate, I'm going to carry out that promise some day if the Fates will only help me. At present it does not look as though I will be able to get back to our next big reunion, but where there's a will they say there's a way, and I'm going to do the very best I know how to find that way. With kindest regards and best wishes to all you fellows from one who gets lonely for, and longs to hear, the voice of a Princeton man and especially one which belongs to a member of the finest of all classes. W^OODY. Josh : I would like to know what the "other sources" you referred to are. If you mean the picture which was taken at the tent, for the Good Lord's sake put the enclosed in instead. It was taken for the records of the University of S. C. this spring — a kind of a Prisoners Gallery effect. I wish I were where I could try to help you just a little with all this work you are doing. With best wishes to you and the family. Woody. 372 ERNEST HOLT WYCKOFF A.B. a c Main Street, Stroudsburg, Pa. & 519 Thomas Street, Stroudsburg, Pa. Merchant.

Fate has been on your side and I am home with water on the knee and plenty of time to think over past sins, present platitudes, and future prospects. You remember the old days Shorty Phillips worked overtime to blackmail me and succeeded in electing me "also ran" fusser of the class? Well tables have turned, Phillips is now seeking the companionship of the fickle, filmey, frilley, feminines while I try to spill shellac and paint over the U. S. and live a life of sufficient seriousness to have driven weaker men to drink. Not that T have given up the ladies, but quite vice-versa. They, with poor taste, 302 I — The P-rade passing the grandstand at our Fourth Reunion.

My social life is spent telling proud mama's and papa's how much their offspring resembles them, and hoping inwardly for the kid's sake that he will forgive me for that insult when he gets old and strong enough to resent it. Xow we come to the real object of this letter, which is to provoke pity. If any of my classmates know of a cross-eyed, bow-legged or otherwise attractive creature, who would care to divide sauerkraut, pig's knuckles, etc., for life with their German classmate (not of the rabid "Deutschland iiber Ally" kind), wire me her name and address, I will then triumphantly call for her in one of my yellow paint trucks, if the State has not by that time condemned our two remaining steeds like it has the others, for foot and mouth disease. In the beginning of this letter I said I was laid up with a sore foot. That I have not contracted the foot and month disease from my horses is evi- denced by this letter. My knee was badly wrenched while rough riding a week ago at the Squadron Armory. I am one of the Uhlans to whom the Iron Cross has not yet been awarded. The others are Otto Sprague who is in another troop and Edgar Baker, and Howard Turner who are in my troop. There are a very many other Princeton men of various classes in the organization. If this letter seems disconnected blame yourself. I have just made out that statistical blank and it was some job. I think those questions about the "prep" school of your father-in-law's father, the number of eye teeth your aunt has, whether your dog's nam^e is Fido and if not why not, are really unnecessary, even though they may be eugenical. For once I was glad I was single. The courage it must have taken to pry into the family secrets of two families, your wife's as well as your own, must have been stupendous. And that Income Card! Just when you had congratulated yourself that the loss of your job and the filthy lucre connected with it, on account of this accursed war, was known to but a few intimates, the class secretary asks you to state what enormous amount you are now earning after more than five years of conscientious labor ! But to be serious for a moment before closing (as I imagine George Armstrong probably, has another long letter this year) I have been hard at work since June 1909, trying to put H-E-L-L into SHELLAC for some of my competitors. In my spare time I have gone into a little political work, as for example stumping for Whitman with the College Men's league in the last campaign, etc. Golf and Riding are my exercises. Possibly you have deduced from my letter that I am not married. If yon have you are correct. While there is life there is hope and by our Centennial I hope to report progress.

Bill Zinsser. 304 H r< BACK EVERY YEAR ATTENDANCE AT REUNIONS The following table speaks for itself. First year 183 ; second year 144; third year 182; fourth year 157; fifth year 199. No class has ever had an average attendance of 173 men for the first five years out of college. We fully believe that a once-a-year-Reunion-in-Princeton is the back-bone of Class Organization. It has been the ambition of the Reunion Committe to get every man that graduated back to Prince- ton at least once every five years. Only twenty-three graduates have not returned to our Reunions, and eight of these have been back on other occasions. So practically only fifteen have found it im- possible mainly on account of distance to return to Princeton from 1909 to 1914. Our hearty congratulations to our Efficiency and Reunion Committees on such a remarkable record. Back of all the good times at our yearly meetings, the Committee's one purpose is to keep the Class together and alive to the interests and needs of Princeton. We realize more and more at each Reunion how much we owe our Alma Mater and as the years go on we know that Ought Nine will be in the front rank when Princeton needs us. Realizing this responsibility from the beginning, our Committee has spared no efforts to make our Reunions interesting for every- body, knowing that getting men to come back would be the best means of keeping them in constant touch with the University. Each year our meetings are carefully planned, expense kept to a minimum and within the reach of all, so as to get every possible man back there in June. Our five years' efi^orts to make each one realize that it is only through his individual co-operation that we can hope to hold the Class together, has brought our Organization up to a high state of efficiency. May the good work go on. The change of costume each year plays a part in getting many men back, because from its very nature it means new life, new thought and new action. Something different each year. If we 307 REUNION ATTENDANCE FOR FIRST FIVE YEARS— 1910 -1914 1 Ackerson % X 64 Chambers. J. W. X X X 127 Gordon, S. Vt; A X A X X 2 Adams, C. E.

A. ■^ K AVERAGE ATTENDANCE FOR FIRST FIVE YEARS— 173 MEN kept our costume permanent, (which would not lessen the cost) we would soon fall into a rut and our Reunions would have a same- ness that would show lack of interest very soon. This would be especially true for the man who comes a long distance. A permanent costume is generally an excuse for a com- mittee who has not had the time to think up a few ideas. We hope to continue our change of costume each year till the Decennial and even then it will be hard to give up. Too much credit cannot be given our two Ringmasters — Roy Dickinson and Hatch TreadAvell for their splendid work on the tent platform at each Reunion. It is almost tradition for other classes to go to the '09 tent and see "What's Doing." Their untiring efforts in entertaining has always meant a Successful Reunion. May it ever be thus. To sum up — if Ought Nine men agree on any subject it is Reunion. While some claim the Band may have a wheeze and others advocate the absence of beer, and others bashfully insist on long legged costumes — still they are all minor differences and will be worked out as time rolls on. We are united in one purpose and that purpose is to get Back Every Year, because we are conscious of our privilege and know what it means to the Class and to Princeton to spend three days in June with the Class of 1909. This table tells the stor}^ of how we have come back. Summary of Reunion Attendance June 1910 183 1911 144 1912 182 1913 157 1914 199 Five Year Average 173 HONOR ROLL For five years these seventy-three men have never missed a Reunion. We realize reunion attendance is dependent on many conditions especially business and distance from Princeton. Yet due acknowl- edgement should be made these men who have come Back Each Year. The Reunion Committee will post the names of these men in the 310 Tent each June and at our Decennial Reunion a substantial recog- nition will be awarded to those who have come back every year. In the meanwhile the Class heartily congratulates these men large- ly through whose efforts we are holding up our proud title of the "Best Reunion Class." 73 MEN WHO HAVE NEVER MISSED A REUNION C. E.

With all four Class Officers present for the first time, and sixty- eight men in attendance including Big Heyniger from Corning, 2\. Y., the Sixth Annual Dinner of the Class of 1909 was unani- mously voted the Best Yet. "Norm" Armour's versatile wit as Toastmaster was at a high pitch all evening. The Philadelphia contingent lead by President Prizer and his seven faithful follow- ers each disguised behind a large false nose with moustache and chin whiskers P-raded around the room in lock-step after we were seated. Their remarkable speech in concert was the big hit of the evening. Their famous choir which sang the Faculty Song with local verses on Ought Nine men brought down the house. Full edition is appended. President Prizer, through whose efforts the loyal Eight came over from Philly gave a good talk on our splendid get-to-gether spirit. Norm introduced Paul Tomlinson, our noted Author of Boys' Books, by quoting extracts from local papers com- menting on his ability. Paul retaliated with a story he had written on Norm, the Kaiser, and himself in which every few minutes came the famous line "Norm Armour, you haven't changed a bit." Harry Trimble told us some good stories, and the Secretary for the nth time requested data for the General Biographical Catalogue and the plans for the Sixth Family Reunion were told. Squire Cass who came all the way from Albany, sang the old songs that mean so much to us. To have Newt with us in the East from now on is the best news we have had for many a day Herb Rankin gave a detailed report on the conditions in Germany and the interesting experiences he had to go through while coming to the U. S. last week. Herb is sure some speaker. Harold Medina "pulled'' a good one and then summed up in a legal style the remarkable progress that the members in the Class were making in all the professions and the business world. The moving pictures of Our Fifth Reunion were shown on the 312 screen through the medium of Ted Slocum's own moving picture machine called the Phantoscope. Between the pictures,- the custom- ary advertising slides were shown with local hits. Harry Osborn gave a good wholesome heart to heart talk on the condition of the Memorial Fund and put it right up to the Class to get busy. He displayed a chart that made us all sit up and think, showing that we have only thirty-two per cent of the Class con- tributing. Every man not enrolled was earnestly requested to send m a dollar at once and raise it to five or ten or fifty if possible in the future, but to enroll NOW. We are out to raise our percentage to seventy-five percent before June. Are you doing your part ? The Eureka Trio headed by Old Reliable Thomas Fletcher gave "That Water Melon Vine" and "Say! Wouldn't That be a Dream," and brought a big round of applause. Then we all gathered up close to the stage and were treated to the most unic^ue and best program of stunts ever pulled off. We must here put on record for Hatch Treadwell that neither he or any other member gave an old drule. Everything was new for the occasion. We all missed Roy Dickin- son who was delayed an extra day on the boat from Nassau and pent the first wireless message to the Class which was received with big cheers. Our other telegram was from Pani Hutcheson who for six years has never missed remembering us at our Annual Dinner. James Maury showed us a living model of our Reunion Costume for next June which was voted a big success. Then Hatch followed with a new Kelly story that will rival "Kimmel" in future popu- larity. Artie Samuels disguised as a Ventriloquist with Jim Maury as the Dummy brought the best laugh of the evening with his "Very Good Eddy ! Very Good !" as he calmly knocked the ashes off his cigar with faultless imitation of the famous Fred Stone. Hatch and Doug Ballin gave a new war sketch wath newspaper opinions by dift'erent men in the Class, that made another big hit. Frank Cun- ningham gave a sterling exhibition of dramatic art in a new powerful prose recitation about "Bennie and the Ourangatang." Everybody had a chance to show what he could do and when fifty men remained till after 12.30 A. M., Yea, Bo! It was indeed a night of nights ! As usual Turk House was the last to leave and was still playing "But His Chief Delight," at 1.20 A. M., when the Sixth Annnual Dinner passed with history as one to be remembered for many a day. 313 A FEW OF THE VERSES SUNG Here's to Josh, our lively Sec. He's always on the job, by Heck. He never misses any tricks, He's been a Sec. since he was six. Here's to Prexy Prizer too. Philadelphia's biggest stew. He often goes upon a spree, And drinks a dozen cups of tea. Here's to Norman Armour, who Was gallant captain of our crew. He likes the classic shades the best. He's rooming now with Andy West. Here's to Nat our polo king. His hat is always in the ring. On horsey topics he just dotes. In fact his meals consist of oats. Here's to Victor Herbert Samuels, Our expert in conducting manuels. As a leader of our Reunion Band, He's certainly there with the musical sand. Here's to C. Roy Diskin.yc»w, At entertaining he's a son-of-a-gun, In "Blacka-de-boot" he makes things hum, But we don't want to "wait till Martin comes." Here's to Hatch, that funny guy. See him close the other eye. He just can't make his lamps behave. He's funny like an open grave. Here's to Tommy Tomlinson, With his pen he makes the mon. Life to him is full of joys. They say he's very fond of boys. Here's to James Robb Maury, who Has developed into our greatest stew, He's also ought nine's wittiest wit, And always makes a h — — of a hit. 314 u >< Oi ^i '^y. Ph FIFTH ANNUAL DINNER When sixty out of seventy-seven, who attended our Fifth Annual Feast at the Hotel Martinique last Saturday night, remain till eleven thirty, surely this is convincing proof of a thoroughly successful dinner. We have increased our attendance regularly each year at these dinners and to have the largest attendance yet at our Fifth is a sure sign of a healthy growth. When Prizer, McNeely, Gay, Ottinger and "Ritchie" Smith come all the way from Philly, and "Big" Heyniger from Corning, "Sim" Rising from Vermont, "Wheat" Chambers from Bridgeport, "Ike" Stauffer from Altmar, N. Y., to see the old crowd again. All this shows that when '09 holds a Class Dinner only war and pestilence can keep them away. The "garden room" at the Martinique was tastefully decorated with Class numerals, banners, etc., while on the walls were hung pictures of our various Reunions and some Undergraduate Days. Telegrams and letters from those unable to be present were exhibited on tables. In the center of the horseshoe table was a large tiger with electric lights flashing from his eyes, and wearing an old orange and black "horse" hat. The whole setting was ideal. "Norm" Armour's usual ready wit and humor as toastmaster easily showed the advantages of a Harvard Law School education and was certainly appreciated. He spared no one. Harry Osborn gave a good talk on the Memorial Fund Campaign which meant business. His Committee needs every possible dollar and Princeton is looking to us for it. Don't let the Memorial card go by unanswered. It's our one big opportunity of doing some real service for Princeton. Ralph Gamble spun a couple of good yarns and which were much appreciated. Then the Secretary talked as long as they would let him, congratu- lating the men in the Class on their wonderful attendance, their achievements during the past year, and expatiated on the most im- portant National Event next June. The Fifth Reunion of 1909 — the best in our own or Princeton's history. The costumes were de- 316 scribed in detail, with sketches, and met with unanimous approval. Ed Brown's peerless quartet was never better and rounded out the whole evening in great shape. Shortly after the Secretary's oration, the House Detective came in with a warrant and put "Hatch" under arrest. Poor Harry remonstrated but to no avail, until the Reunion Committee convinced him it was their "put up job." Dinner over the Big Feature of the evening followed. All the chairs were drawn close to the stage like a Triangle performance in Lhe Casino. "The Mystery of the Orange Mark" in four acts was cleverly executed. A real overture played by "Sammy" Samuels, footlights, costumes, printed programs and soft music where neces- sary, and all proved it to be a regular show. The flawless acting of Treadwell disguised as a Jew salesman for Kresge & McNeill, Roy Dickinson as a Demon Freshman, Frank Cunningham disguised as Maggie "Snooks," Josh Brush as "Jack" White, and all the scenes abounding in local wit and clever lines, brought applause after applause. In fact the management of the hotel begged us to put the show on, downstairs in their Dutch Grill, replacing their carbaret. Never was there a performance more appreciated and the men who took part in it have the heartiest thanks from the Class for all tiieir laborious efforts spent in making it such a decided success. Show over, Hatch and Roy conducted a Reunion Tent and had Doug Ballin give his near Dutch one on the "Pay-no-more Canal," Wheat Chambers gave a one minute talk in Chinese, Roy with several new ones, and even Hatch himself put a new one across Wagner and Passerella sang the good old campus songs and after everybody had a chance to speak who wanted to, we drew round the piano and finished the evening with Senior singing and living over again those four memorable years. Each dinner we've had has been better than the last but it was the unanimous opinion that Our Fifth Dinner was the most interesting and enthusiastic ever held and unite-1 the Class stronger than ever in our purpose to serve Princeton. 317 AMONG THE FORTUNATE ONES Ackerson Hetzel Phillips, S.

Mr. Olcott was born in Chicago, April 8, 1887. He prepared for college at Montclair High School, Montclair, N. J., and took the academic course at Princeton. Since graduation he has been with the Boston office of Brown Brothers, the banking house, and has been living with his parents at 96 Summit Avenue, Brookline. On January 26, "Rage," as he was familiarly called by his class- Gage Olcott March 8, 1914 mates, went to the Princeton-Harvard hockey game. It was a very- rainy and disagreeable night, and there he contracted the cold which developed into pneumonia and resulted in his death. He made a hard fight against the disease, and his powerful physique undoubted- ly helped prolong his life. A serious operation finally became neces- sary, and about two hours after it had been successfully performed, a fit of coughing ruptured an artery, with fatal results. Gage was the author of a book entitled "Meditation of a Young Man," published by Houghton Mifflin & Co. several months after his death. It is a collection of his diary entries that have been compiled by his father. As a revelation of depth and a clarity of thought and expression which probably his best friends in the Class little suspected, they are very interesting indeed. This little book is surely a very real contribution to the record being made by our Class. Class of 1909, Princeton University, Resolution Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to take from us our beloved classmate. Gage Olcott, and Whereas, he had endeared himself to us all by his unfailing cheerfulness, his capacity for close friendships, good nature, and his enthusiastic loyalty to 1909 and Princeton, therefore be it Resolved, by the members of the Class of 1909 of Princeton University that, in the death of Gage Olcott, Princeton has lost a loyal son and we, his classmates, have lost a faithful and well loved friend, and be it further Resolved, that we extend our heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved family, and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family, and that they be published in the Alumni Weekly. E. Annin E. A. Dillon J. B. Brush N. R. Cass J. W. SURBRUG For the Class. 321 John Donald MacDonald died suddenly on the tenth day of August, 1912, as the result of a fall from a four story building which caused his instant death. He was born in New York City, June 3, 1887, and prepared for Princeton at Columbia Grammar School, entering the University in the fall of 1905 in the C.E. Department. He was very active in Freshman athletics, being a member of the Class Football and Base- ball teams, therein winning his numerals. He was Manager of the Glee Club, a member of the Ivy Club and prominent on the Senior Council. After graduation he joined his father, J. H. MacDonald in the building and constructing business, at 357 West i6th Street, New York City, in which he was actively engaged till the tragic accident in August, 1912. The qualities which endeared him to us have made his death a personal loss to every man in the Class. No one of us will ever forget his bright smile and his "Howdy Jim" that always went with it. No matter what trouble he was always the same cheerful light- hearted Mac. It is with heavy heart that we herewith record the death of Jack MacDonald a loyal member and classmate. The Class extends our deepest sympathy to his family in this their great loss. N. R. Cass E. A. Dillon J. C. Brush J. W. SURBRUG, Jr. For the Class. 322 John Donald MacDonald August 10, 1912 Jlamf0 Arrl|tbalii '09 James Archibald died on Feb. 19, 1913, at his home in Hightstown, N. J. He was born in Clarivsburg, N. J., on Sept. 2, 1887. Son of David Kent Archibald of Bordentown, N. J., and Mary Catherine Messier of Clarksburg, N. J. He prepared at Peddie Institute. Entered Princeton in 1905. Archibald left college in June, 1906, on account of illness. He was an Instructor in Peddie Institute for several years. It was with deep regret that the Class learned of Jim Archibald's death, and record herewith our deepest sympathy to his family in their sorrow. E. A. Dillon N. R. Cass J. C. Brush J. W. SURBRUG, Jr. For the Class. 324 James Archibald February 19, 1913 OCCUPATIONS AND INCOMES Looking over our list we were surprised to learn that the lawyers outnumber any other vocation, although they must admit that the manufacturers and business men come a close second and third. All told, fifty-five have taken up the practice of law. In only four cases do we learn that men changed their minds after a year or more at law school. Practically all of them found their life work at the start. We recall with pride the many Ought Nine men who made records on the law reviews of their respective Universities and already note the remarkable progress these men have made in their practice, one at present an examining attorney for the Interstate Commerce Commmision. This list will prove useful for those seeking legal advice. Armour Groeneveld Ottinger Barchfeld Hartshorne Peacock Burnett Henderson Flunkett Buchanan Hill Phillips, C. K.

Following close on their heels come the men who are engaged in manufacturing, either as proprietors of their respective businesses or as subordinates in the field of production — 50 in all. We are also 326 adding the general product of manufacture after their names as all things being equal we believe we should encourage business reciproc- ity whenever possible.

Under that appellation we include brokers and jobbers of manufactured products, exporters, importers, buyers, salesmen, etc. It is really a broad title as very few are engaged along the same line and their various vocations prevent us from classifying them.

The future builders of Panama canals and Brooklyn bridges. The Class has generally had the impression that our engineers were in the small minority and it is with great satisfaction that we note their increasing members, as the Secretary always has had a warm spot in his heart for the hard working C.E. Any man wanting a well, ditch, sewer, sidewalk, gas tank, railroad, watermain, country home, office and factory building, or mines developed, had better consult these forty-four enterprising engineers.

Carver Haven Niles Dodge Laubach Northwood Fenninger Tied for that same place are the hard working advertising men who plan the publicity and distribution of the products of our busi- ness. The lucky seven : Carroll Hildebrant Samuels Dickin.'^on Howell Stafford Fryer With the rapid increase in telephone facilities we find six of the Class assisting in the development of the Bell System. Ankeney Lyon Findley Andrews Strong Straat Five energetic farmers, Annin, Howard, Hutchinson, King and C. H. Scott, give us a representation in the agricultural line. Four men are holding Government appointments and one elected in the legislature — La Roe, Belden, Oliphant and McGee. Five of our number still continue their studies along their chosen lines — R. H. Smith, Prahl, Shellabarger, Roberts and Sanford. Our architects are Arms, Baker and Peirce. Our only artist is Selden. We have three men, Boas, Olcott and Dunlop helping the transportation facilities in the country, two men Hagenbuch and Rockwell who are ranching in the West and two are in the brewing business — Hoffmann and Dougherty. Our publishers are Funk and E. C. Kelly; our accountants and general secretaries are Bosworth, Butler and F. Myers. We have Glaser in the dramatic field and Vaughn in the baseball field and one soldier, Bill Hallimond. Finally we come to our miscellaneous troup whose vocations are unknown to the Secretary or who stand alone in their respective businesses. 330 Adams, L. R. Hackman Neilson Alexander Hattstaedt Moscrip Angell Heutz Rogers Averill Hollowbush Sands Bickford Jones, G. C. Shoemaker Boyesen Markley Speers Billitt Matthews Sterringer Burk Maury Webb Chambers, B. B. Mayer West Curtis McKaig In connection with our occupations, the Secretary has requested each man to state the actual amount of his yearly incomes since graduation. One hundred and seventy-one anonymous cards were received in all and while we do not feel a table of this character should be accepted as a general average it is very interesting to note the rate of increase in the various vocations each year. An interesting comparison is made with the classes of 1901, 1906, 1908, whose average fifth year incomes are tabluated below: No. of men 1901— $2,039.42 135 1906 — 2,225.80 251 1908 — 2,086.51 132 1909 — 2,157.00 171 It will be seen that our average is based on the replies of 171 men which is really more accurate than the averages of the other classes, with the exception of '06. So until a more uniform rule is adopted for all classes, comparisons at present are only very general. As to the occupations that yield the largest income. Two out of two publishers gave the desired information. Their average is $8,882.00. Next are the advertising men. Seven out of seven replied and their average income is $2,862.00. Comparison with classes of tgo8 and 1906 show that the average of all three classes in advertis- ing is within $100 of each other. So we feel that this income is the most accurate of all as one hundred per cent of the men replied and it also checks up with the results obtained in other classes. The table gives the order of incomes of the other vocations. As only fourteen occupations were mentioned on the card we had to follow out along those lines unless otherwise indicated. 331 The highest single earned annual income was $15,000. From one of the men engaged in the publishing business. We have two men over S6,ooo, one an engineer, the other a lawyer. Four $5,000 a year men one in advertising, one a business man, one a manufacturer, one in insurance and real estate. Fourteen men are earning $3,000 per year or over. The work of the world as we are doing it and the corresponding remuneration is presented in tabular form. We earnestly hope that all men who failed to send in their cards will positively do so on the Tenth Year Record as they can see that this table is only accurate when everybody is heard from.

With such a large number of men living so near and all four Class Officers within easy reach of Princeton, our mobilization for Reunions should be comparatively easy and mean a great deal towards strengthening our Class Organization.

Wagman Wagner Walter Watson Webb Woodrow Zimmerman Zinsser 343 ORGANIZED ATHLETICS AND GENERAL SPORTS The questions under this title were asked for the purpose of emphasizing the necessity of daily systematic exercise while we rush on in our business and professional life. Attention is called to the surprising fact that less than one third of the Class are engaged in any regular form of exercise andonly twenty play on any organ- ized teams. Tennis and golf are the favorite sports with baseball a close third. Other favorites are bowling, squash, cricket, wrestling, soccer, swim- ming, riding, basketball, hockey and fox hunting, tobogganing, fish- ing, shooting. Jim Maury will probably say that we put fox hunting in to make it hard but we assure James to the contrary and urge him to participate in all the above. The following testimonials as to the ill or beneficial after-effects of college athletics prove that the majority of the Class is of the opinion that they were benefited. L. P. Scott — "The ill effects of injuries received including the dislocated knee have been very slight when compared with the physical development induced by strenuous exercise in the field. I believe football has been beneficial to me." Ed Booth — "I received benefits from college athletics. The ability to act quickly and decisively under stress of circumstances has been a great help on several occasions and credit the same to a great extent to football training." Nick Floyd — "Beneficial if anything." Spencer Gordon — ."No ill effects." Charlie Vezin — "Have not had to take medicine or call on a doctor since leaving college." Ike Stauffer — "Cross country running was mighty good preparation for hoofing fifteen rriiles per day over the job." Fat Wagner — "No after effects." Big Heyniger — "In baseball I threw the muscles from shoulder and had to pitch underhanded." Laurie Dowd — "Nothing but beneficial after effects. No heart, lung or kidney disease." J. Lee Chapman — "I think the part I took in college athletics helped con- 344 siderable in pulling me through an operation after several attacks of appendicitis." Burt Carr — "No ill effects." Bill Keys — "None whatever." Dick Hartshorne — '"No doubt as to my having been benefited by rowing. Increased by general development. No heart or lung trouble, due I feel to short distance of races at Princeton. Gene Kelly — "I believe effects were beneficial." Laurie Lawrence — "I feel that college athletics benefited my health and gave me confidence to participate in all contests athletic, professional and political." Nat Ewing — "Knee operated for floating cartilidge and laid up for two years." Charlie Coxe — "111 — too much." Schuyler Phillips — "Injured my right hand playing baseball Junior year." Tug Murray — "Much benefited in general health from all athletics." Al Walter — "Effects beneficial especially results of baseball teams and canoeing." Jim Woodrow — "Most assuredly no effects." Wyckoff — "Only beneficial results." Frank Hardison — "Slight weakness of leg from football." LuD Strong — "After playing three weeks with freshman football team got blood poison from coloring matter in stocking by kicks on shin. Fully recovered by Junior year. No ill effects since." Ken Stern — "Beneficial results — before entrance was undeveloped, flat chested, etc. Now fairly husky." Jene Tittmann — "In June, 1913, over exerted in swimming and given two hours to live due to enlarged heart caused by running at high school and Princeton. Recovered in three weeks and in perfect condition now. Advised to exercise to keep in trim." 345 SPECIAL VALUABLE INFORMATION 1. What Relatives Have You Who Went to Princeton f Over seventy men had relatives (from father to third-cousm-once- removed) who went to Princeton. This question was asked because of the bearing on the next and also to enable the Secretary to trace any men in case of change of address. 2. What Persuaded You to Go to Princeton? This question was asked for the purpose of recalling the particu- lar reason that made you decide to go to Princeton, in hopes that you too will constantly use your influence to send other men there. You will note that much of the influence that brought '09 men to Princeton was caused by graduate relatives and individual friends, a fact that should make each one of us alive to this opportunity of serving Princeton. We take our hats ofif to those men who per- suaded fourteen Ought Niners to go to Princeton. Dr. MacKenzie, Jesse Lynch Williams, Bertran Williams, Max Kratz 99, Sam Shellabarger '09, Amos Hoagland '07, Bob Sterrett '07, Harold Tenney '07, Schweikert '03, Whitney Baker '03, Tom Hardenbergh '04, Howard Peake '04, J. W. Mcllvain and F. J. O'Hara. May many men in future Princeton classes thank some member of the Class of 1909 for doing likewise. The following reasons caused us to go to Princeton : 1 Family influence 44 2 Because most of our friends went there 21 3 Love for Princeton and its reputation 20 4 The Spirit of the Place 18 5 A visit there and Senior Singing 15 6 Individuals 14 7 The principal or teacher in Prep School was a Princeton man 7 8 Proximity 7 9 Grew into the idea from childhood 5 10 Lawrenceville School 3 1 1 Chance 3 12 Athletics 3 346 Desired a technical training with broadening effect of University life. Woodrow Wilson was President. Do not know but have ever since I can remember I have always wanted to go there and still have that feeling. A story in the Tiger. Wanted to go to a good college. Honor system. All round education. Presbyterian college, as it is known in the South. Statement of a Lehigh graduate that Princeton was the only college to attend. 3. Have You Been Directly Responsible for Sending Other Men to Princeton — Financially or Otherzvise? The good work has already started. Forty-eight men have already used their influence in sending some other man to the University. At least a dozen have lent financial assistance. May our Decennial Record show a considerable increase to this already good start. When you hear of a good man, use every influence to get him to go to Princeton. Get in touch with the Committee on Schools of the Graduate Council who will help you follow him up. Our individual endeavor in getting good men means everything to the future of Princeton. 4. Suggestions for Improving Our Reunions. 1. Get Herb Morrow to sing a song. 2. Better Band. 3. Cut out Colored Entertainment on Sunday. 4. Quiet Class Sleeping Quarters. 5. Cut out the Beer. 6. All but six want to go back to Princeton each June. 7. Divide the Class into groups geographically and have them march together in the P-rade and do stunts together in the tent. 8. Cannot be improved. Number 8 was the answer of no men. It is most gratifying and encouraging to our Committee to have so many express such an opinion. While the confidence of the Class in their ability will give them more enthusiasm than ever before, we do want every member to continually give us suggestions and help make our Reunions bigger and better each year. 2A7 5- Suggestions for Furthering the Welfare of Princeton. More money for library and endowment. Smaller proportion of expenditures for buildings. Try to get more Western men and Public School graduates. Abolish compulsory chapel. It must be more closely related to the life of the American people as a whole — a system of exchange professors, particularly with Western Colleges and Universities. This would increase Princeton's reputation and keep it from becoming provincial or sectional. A University Club. Improve the Engineering Course. More practical work for C. E. Students. Get more Princeton men in Politics. Strict adherence to Wilson's policies. Cut out the clannishness that did not use to be there. More courses in Law, Mechanical, Mining and Chemical Engineering. Central advertising bureau for furnishing local Alumni with Princeton literature for distribution. Cut out Upper Class Clubs. Have more men like Dean West sent out in the West to lecture. The Dean's visit made a very favorable impression and he spoke before many schools. Make the entrance system correspond with the theory of under- graduate work. Less dependence on entrance conditions and more on work that has been done in secondary schools. Abolish old customs. Dignified magazine advertising. Beat Harvard in Football and send the crew to Poughkeepsie. Allow a student in good standing to play or work for money during vacations. More books in library, uniform salaries for faculty members of same grade. Additional allowance based on service following system of U. S. Army and Navy. Help present administration abolish paternalism started by other presidents. Less hysteria on the subject of winning athletic teams. Spread knowledge that Princeton is not a Rich Man's college. Get Woodrow Wilson back. More money for brains less for buildings. Bring "horsing" back. Cut out too much luxury at Clubs. 348 More vital religion. Greater incentive in spiritual things. Don't allow bible classes to develop solely along critical lines. Reduce membership of Halls and base it on intellectuality. More of the kind of publicity it used to get when Wilson was President. Then a practical training school now an academic insti- tution. New college library. Keep up the spirit which I found in one year. I don't often say it but three years in Lafayette don't mean as much to me as that one. I don't believe you can ever make a Princeton man anything else. Establish a School of Agriculture. Upper Class Clubs for Social purposes only. A separate Dining Hall for each Class. Further democratic spirit. More official recognition of scholarship as by precedence on academic affairs — representation in undergraduate bodies, etc. 349 RELIGION The Class as a whole was very patient in answering the thousand and one questions previously asked but when the subject of religion was brought up, quite a few protested. It has been our purpose at all Reunions to try to enlarge the nar- row ideas that we get by the daily routine of business and to broaden our views on the subject of life in general. At our yearly meet- ings in Princeton we have begun to see that there are other things in life worth while besides the elusive dollar. Interest in the welfare of our fellowmen is gradually growing and we are taking more part in the affairs of the community. The important questions under religion were asked to make us think. As several answering the blanks wrote, "I believe I should be a church member," we hope that more serious thought of religion will be given by the Class to this important subject. This table shows the number of men answering with their denom- inations : Presbyterian . 62 Episcopalian 55 Baptist 10 Congregationalist 7 Catholic 6 Methodist 4 Unitarian 4 Lutheran 4 German Reformed 3 Dutch Reformed 3 Non Sectarian i Christian Science i Jewish I Agnostic 2 Over fifty-two men in the Class are engaged in works with Boys' Clubs, Y. M. C. A. and Big Brother Movement. With three missionaries in the Class like Frank Niles, Frank Laubach and Bayard Dodge, it is difficult to believe there are thirty- one in the Class whose attitude towards foreign missions Is of unconcern, although 148 are strongly in favor of them. We wish every one could have heard these men speak at our Fourth Reunion. The splendid self-sacrifice and noble purpose of these men must stir up enthusiasm of us all in the subject of missions and deserves the hearty support of every man in the Class. 350 I — William Keith Sidwell, b.

Over seventy-eight have traveled in Europe, eleven in Asia and six in Africa. Three had been around the world. Sixty- two men have made the trip to Canada, twelve to Cuba and Panama and seventeen to Mexico. To sum up over half of the Class have seen about one-third of their own country and considerable of foreign parts, Harry Black, Don Gilpin and Ned King are our best globe trotters. 3£6 1909 CLASS MEMORIAL FUND Our present report indicates that general progress is being made, not only in the raising of actual cash but also in the increase of the proportion of men subscribing to the fund. At our class meeting, held on June 13th, at Princeton, the pro- position was submitted that we should become party to the plan for the erection of a new dormitory on the campus, seventy-five feet north of Brown Hall. The University during the past year has had the plan of this dormitory in mind and has been extremely anxious that the various classes, from 1902 to 1912 inclusive, with the excep- tion of 1905, who have pledged themselves for a $17,000.00 entry, should go into the scheme of this new dormitory and increase their subscription to $22,000.00, the time for the raising of which is to be extended five more years, or, in our case until June, 1924. The cost of the building will be $220,000.00 and will consist of ten entries at a cost of $22,000.00 per entry. A circular giving full details of the building plans is inserted. After a full and careful discussion of the proposition it was moved and resolved that we should become party to the same and thus co-operate towards the best interests of the University. The building is tc be erected as soon as $100,000.00 is paid in by the classes. This will probably be within two years as over $60,000.00 is already at hand. The purpose and object of this fund has, therefore, at last taken definite and concrete form. The time will soon be at hand when we may go to Princeton and see in process the building of an entry which owes its "existence" to our support. It will stand, firstly, as a memorial to our class ; secondly, as a means of ofifering accom- modation to many more men on the campus, and thirdly, as a source of regular income, through rentals, to the university. The advantages gained are worth our consistent and generous support. The Treasurer begs to report that the amount of cash on hand, including interest allowed us as of July i, 1915, amounts to $3,868.07 (deposited with the U. S. Trust Company, New York City). We attach herewith a list of the present subscribers. The percentage of 357 subscribers to the total number of men in the class now stands at thirty-five per cent. Although very marked gains have been made recently (the percentage of subscribers having doubled since Febru- . ary i, 1914) at the same time we shall not have accomplished our end until every man in the class is represented in this gift.

All Prince- ton was surprised at our showing and when we went by the grand- stand in our famous chef costume with the "Base of Supplies" in the form of a hot-dog wagon, everybody thought it was our fifth reunion. The standard, "I didn't raise my dog to be a sausage," made quite a hit. Without even the aid of the coon quartette, the tent at 27 Univee Place was going every minute on Saturday night, every class visit- ing us as usual and enjoyed he new drules of Roy, Hatch, Sam and Jim. Although the zobo vegetable band blew up early in the even- ing, the instruments served their purpose, as they were awarded as prizes for the best drules later on. We couldn't keep the crowd back, so eager was everyone to compete. The tent the whole evening was run with the same excellent system that always characterizes our '09 reunions. An informal class meeting on Sunday brought the reunion to a close. Sam Hinton won the Long-Distance Cup, — from Chicago, whence he has come for four reunions. The Class voted to send a letter to the Department of State asking that a search be made for Bill Hallimond, now wounded and prisoned with ihe Germans, also that the Secretary be instructed to take up a subscription to send a motor cycle to Frank Laubach, now missionary in the Philippines. It was also voted to increase our Memorial Fund to $22,500 and extend the time five years longer. The meeting was a decided success and all voted enthusiastically to hold the Biggest Seventh Reunion next June that Princeton has ever seen. Due to the splendid systematic efforts of President Bill Prizer, the Sixth Reunion was the most enjoyable and successful get-together party we have ever held, and six years finds the Class united stronger than ever before. May every man in the Class be present at our Seventh next June ! 360 z X 12 FINANCIAL REPORT 1909's Sixth Year Reunion — June 12, 1915.

On behalf of the Class he wishes to thank every member for his help in filling out those lengthy statistic blanks which must have tried the patience of a saint. When the General Biographical Catalogue appears next year, he hopes the completeness of the '09 data will speak for itself. In this volume he has tried to eliminate the usual dryness of a Class Record by the publishing of snap-shots rather than the conven- tional-six-for-ten-dollar portraits. While he regrets they were re- duced to such a small size for economical reasons, he hopes they will prove interesting enough for everybody so they will continue this custom by sending photos voluntarily from time to time. The Secretary is very grateful to Roy Dickinson, Bill Zinsser, Hatch Treadwell, Frank Cunningham and Bill Prizer for all their generous help in rounding this book into shape. Suggestions at any time relating to Alemorial Fund, Reunions, Dinners, Year Books, or any Class Activity will be most welcome. Every Ought Niner is requested to write a letter about himself at least once a year in order to keep the Class posted in the Alumni Weekly. Don't crowd ! Line forms on the right ! In closing 'his heartiest well wishes go to every man in the Class together with grateful thanks for his co-operation all these first five years. Always together for Ought Nine and Princeton, As ever, "Josh" Brush. 363 RrEIJNIOlM ATTE:i\*I>AfNI l»IO 183 I9il 144 1912 -18^ 1913 . 1S7 1914- ISO Average For \ ifi Five Years- ' FIFTH REUNION JUNE 1914 - ifflTEMDANCE 1»9 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS llllllill * 028 321 500 3
