PREFSCE. 
 
 Happy is the man that writeth a preface. 
 
 It may possibly .have been suggested to the several members of 
 our Class that "Judge Taylor, being in the midst of his Medical 
 School ' finals,' has asked me, &c." But lest any in the press of busi- 
 ness, legal or otherwise, should be ignorant of the same, and should 
 wonder at the entrusting of a work of such moment to hands so 
 unskilled and rude, I hasten to announce my appointment to the 
 under-secretaryship, pi'o tern., of the Class of '82. This appointment 
 was ratified by both President and Secretary, at a business meeting 
 held by them last Fall. As I lay aside the robes of oflice, I look 
 back with no little pleasure to the by no means irksome task of 
 compiling the Record, and I have to thank the fellows for their gen- 
 erous and prompt attention to the impertinences. 
 
 Believing that verbatim reports would be of most interest to the 
 Class, I have, for the most part, simply selected and arranged.

Bi©gFaphies. 
 
 Acker, W. H. "After graduating at the Law School, in 
 May, '84, I spent the usual summer vacation in the back- 
 woods of Virginia, camping among the mountains, hunting 
 and fishing. In October began my third year at law, and 
 have been reading hard since that time. Prospects are good. 
 My intention is to go to Texas in September, and locate at 
 Fort Worth. Have a good opening there. Not engaged." 
 
 At the time of writing, Acker was expecting to be ad- 
 mitted to the Washington bar in May, and also to receive 
 the degree of Master of Laws from the National University 
 Law School. 
 
 Baker, W. B. " I have led rather a quiet, uneventful 
 life since June, 1883, and am still in the same business, viz., 
 grain commission. My plans are a little hazy." As to being 
 engaged, Billy says, "Emphatically, no ! with no inclination 
 or prospects {as yet) in that direction." 
 
 Banister, J. B. " I have been a clerk in a shoe factory, 
 as per letter-head. [We regret our inability to present right 
 here a fac-simile of the gold-medal-embellished letter-head 
 of Jeemes' concern.] Last Winter I traveled with a ' line 
 of fine shoes ' for J. A. Banister. Li fact, I became a com- 
 mercial tourist for the States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and New 
 York. My prospects are boots, shoes and slippers for men, 
 boys and youths." As it was two years ago, Jimmy has 
 " not yet seen the young lady with whose presence he 
 cannot dispense." This may possibly account for the 
 strongly masculine tone of his gratuitous ad. Joe Wood- 
 rufi* is betting, as it were, all his old hats on Jimmy.

 Barrett, A. L. " Since our reunion in '83 I have been 
 pursuing the even tenor of my ways, with no remarkable 
 experiences, or startling adventures worthy of record. Dur- 
 ing the winter months I have been endeavoring to gain 
 that knowledge of the outer and inner man which will 
 enable me to combat the many 'ills that flesh is heir to.' 
 The month of July, '84, was spent in making a practical 
 application of my knowledge at the Chambers Street Hos- 
 pital, New York City. I expect to continue at the College 
 of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, for another year ; 
 but beyond that my plans are unsettled. I am not engaged." 
 
 Beattie, W. E. " My life, since June, '83, has been 
 chiefly occupied with my duties in the Bank. I am very 
 well pleased with the business, and trust I can make a pretty 
 good living out of it." Expects to continue at it until 
 " something better offers." 
 
 "I answer, with the majority, 'not engaged.' Have 
 retired, disheartened, from the contest." 
 
 Benton, S. H. Sam is in St. Louis, in the law depart- 
 ment of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway. " Some- 
 what changed, perhaps, by these three years, but with only a 
 stronger friendship for my Class and College. I followed 
 the star of empire and came West. The star has disap- 
 peared, but is only hidden by the pall of smoke that offended 
 nature hangs over the home of the factory and soft coal. 
 What have I done ? That will, of necessity, hardly appear. 
 I have been engaged below the surface, laying the founda- 
 tion. I spent two years in the St. Louis Law School, having 
 entered October 18th, 1882, and graduated June 11th, 1884, 
 with the first honors of my class. Since then I have been 
 engaged in waiting for practice — more recently in practice. 
 My prospects ? Well, that depends on myself, and — ' I bide 
 my time.' Political views and tendencies ? You ask me to 
 anticipate. For the present I must devote myself not to 
 law-making, but to law-breaking — once a favorite pastime. 
 Do you remember, fellow-trespassers, and have you forgotten.

 O, long-suffering faculty ? And when I have in some degree 
 alleviated the remunerative wrongs which I trust are await- 
 ing my ministration, it will be time to consider whether it 
 will be advisable to attempt to cap law with politics." 
 
 BicKHAM, A. S. A great moral reformation has been worked 
 in Bick. He has thrown off the debasing chains of science 
 and base-ball, and has become a staid, law-abiding journalist. 
 He writes that in April, '83, he accepted a position on the 
 reportorial staff of the Dayton Journal — his father's paper — 
 and attended to the required duties for a year. " Then," 
 he says, " I became city editor of that newspaper, which 
 position I have since filled, with the exception of a three 
 months' correspondence trip through Indian Territory, 
 Texas and Mexico. I am not married, and have no pros- 
 pect of such. [What can that mysterious ellipsis mean ?] 
 Have not been engaged." A partially erased sentence at 
 this point, which has been deciphered by the aid of the 
 entire editorial staff, suggests that there is "a possible she." 
 On the political question Abe sounds no uncertain note ; he 
 avers that he is " a red-hot Republican and protectionist and 
 anti-prohibitionist." 
 
 Black, E. N. Is " his father's private and financial secre- 
 tary," on his large stock farm in Tinicum township, Dela- 
 ware county. Pa., and " don't expect to change." Is auditor 
 of his district. Spends his summers North and his autumns 
 South, shooting, &c. As to engagement, silent. 
 
 BoGGS, J. M. The summer vacation of '83 I spent teach- 
 ing a select school in a country village, and worked immod- 
 erately hard on only moderately good pay. After another 
 year's routine work in the Sem. (Allegheny), I was licensed 
 to preach, and immediately went to Sarimore, in N. E. Da- 
 kota, where I preached four months, returning in September 
 to the Sem." Boggsie intended to graduate the latter part 
 of April, and doubtless accomplished that feat. Expects to 
 be engaged in home missionary work at Kimball, Dakota, in

 connection with a certain lady, to whom he blushingly 
 refers. 
 
 Browne, G. D. " Since June, '83, 1 have been reading 
 law in ' pent-up Utica.' That one short sentence embraces 
 nearly everything that has occurred in all that time, for, 
 with the exception of that one ever-to-be-remembered ex- 
 cursion last Thanksgiving, I have been hard at work. Did 
 you smile ? Fact, nevertheless." The Senator refuses to 
 discuss politics, alleging that the " scope of the question, 
 like Pud Fine's smile, is too everlasting broad." " My pros- 
 pects are that I will be admitted to the bar and have a 
 practice of $100,000 a year before Rutherfurd gets any hair 
 on his face." Oh no. Senator is not engaged. 
 
 Bryan, J. H. Returned from Europe last June, after a 
 year's absence abroad, and expected to resume the study of 
 medicine at the Missouri Medical College, where he had 
 been before his trip. He remained in the East during the 
 summer of '84, and returned to St. Louis in the autumn, 
 thence going to "Western Texas for his health. There he has 
 since remained, on a ranch belonging to his brother. Butch 
 Bryan, of '80, but he expects soon to come back to civiliza- 
 tion and study. 
 
 Bryan, P. T. No report. 
 
 Bryant, H. Pete's record shall not be marred by any 
 editorial interpolations or expurgations. Here it is : "I 
 will answer your questions, as well as I can, and hope to get 
 my average grade, 50. Since I left College, in June, '82, I 
 have been a good boy and 'don't you forget it.' I read law 
 in my father's office at Denton for two years, was admitted 
 to the bar of Maryland in October last, and am now practic- 
 ing here in Western Maryland, Hagerstown. (General fees, 
 fifteen cents per week — strictly confidential.) My travels 
 have been up and down the 'Great Choptank river.' Liter- 
 ary work, a weekly letter to the 'joy of my heart.' " Plans, 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 9 
 
 " to remain iu Hagerstown and become a good citizen — 
 prospects, at present damp." This must refer to Pete's 
 professional outiook, as there seems to be no sufficient reason 
 for apprehending a local inundation or Pete's inability to 
 keep the laws. " Would like to be engaged — tell you better 
 when I receive my next letter. Whenever you see any of 
 the boys, give them Pete's love." 
 
 Burt, A. F. " Freddie " writes from Santa Barbara, 
 Cal. : " Have practically done nothing since the summer of 
 1883. My health has not been up to par, and in conse- 
 quence, I have drifted about hither and thither, hoping soon 
 to be in condition to drop anchor. Have been in California 
 since the middle of the present winter.

 Campbell, M. " I have just returned (April) from a 
 somewhat extensive trip through the South and West, and 
 am now prepared to talk, with great facility, on the advan- 
 tages and disadvantages of any State in the Union ; but I 
 don't feel so inclined to talk about myself. The subject is 
 broad, but quite short, as you know. I have given up my 
 position in the office of Winston, Lanier & Co., and have 
 become a broker, dealing in investment securities and 
 loans." [Cam. has confided to us that the firm is " Campbell 
 & Father."] 
 
 " I am not engaged." 
 
 Chamberlin, B. S. From among the victorious chuckles 
 of our Elmira Democrat we cull the occasional biographical 
 allusions, albeit their divorcement is well-nigh impossible. 
 It is whispered that Chimby has been playing tennis for 
 these years — polling law for recreation. Chimby himself, 
 however, thus dignifies it : "I continued the study of law 
 in the office of Hon. D. B. Hill, the present Governor of 
 New York by the grace of a grand Democratic victory in

 national politics. I was admitted to the bar of the State of 
 New York Oct. 9th, 1884, and soon opened an office in 
 Elmira. Shall remain here and continue the practice of 
 law. Am engaged. As to what professors helped me most, 
 I vote in favor of Freddy Vinton's library." 
 
 Burton has added the choicest articles of his political 
 creed. Don't fail to call for them at the reunion, 
 
 Chapin, E. F. is " simple and brief. Still the receiving- 
 teller of the Fourth National Bank, Boston." Plans " all 
 indefinite," and matrimonial status in just as unhappy a 
 condition. Yes, yes, but have you heard of Chippy's new 
 departure? Come to the seance. Dark room — excited 
 group around table — hushed in silence — spirits rap — enter 
 medium with large blonde moustache — audience raps — 
 " Gentlemen, any disturbance at the mention of this gentle- 
 man's name will receive particular attention ! " — spirit chorus, 
 " Wah-who-wah." 
 
 Chetwood, J., Jr. " In the summer of '82 I paid a flying 
 trip to France and England on a mixture of business and 
 pleasure. In the autumn of that year entered Columbia Law 
 School. Finished course there in May, '84. Spent the 
 summer in New England and the South. In September 
 admitted to the bar in Brooklyn. In October came to Cali- 
 fornia by Panama. About January 1st, '85, formed a 
 partnership and opened an office in San Francisco. My 
 purposes for the future are to master my profession as far as 
 possible, and also to pay attention to certain periods of 
 history and certain departments of social science. My 
 prospects I regard as good, though not, as yet, definite. I 
 shall exp«ct all of '82's business on this coast — being, so far 
 as I know, the only legal member in this neighborhood — 
 except divorce, which we don't undertake. Great success 
 to the reunion, all its members, and the winner of the cup. 
 Not engaged." 
 
 Clark, R. K. " Have been engaged in the thread-mak- 
 ing business at Newark." This is too modest. Rumor has

 it that Bobby has displayed great energy and business ability 
 and has repeatedly received deserved advancement. He con- 
 tinues, "Am very much engaged — have been for some time. 
 I advise you [' you ' must refer to the class] to follow suit." 
 
 Clarke, T. S. " Seems rather a long stretch to go back 
 to ' June, '83.' I spent that summer in the saddle, knock- 
 ing about through the great Northwest, more particularly in 
 the Valley of the Yellowstone and Dakota, in search of the 
 bison and the picturesque. After having secured a sufficient 
 amount of this game, and having arrived at the dignity of a 
 Western name — ' Big Foot, the Trapper ' — I returned East 
 and shortly after sailed for this side, to continue my art 
 studies. Spent the winter of '83-'84 working in the school 
 of Bouguereau and Lefebvre, in Paris, and later in the 
 ' Acadamie Belli Arti,' here in Florence. Knocked off studio 
 work in the spring and started off around the Mediterranean 
 to Gibraltar, where I met my brother and my artist-friend, 
 Alexander, who was instructor of our Sketch Club at Col- 
 lege. We struck over to Africa from Gib., and had a most 
 interesting jaunt through Morocco, landing at the city of 
 Tangier and proceeding from there inland on camels and 
 donkeys in regular caravan style, to Tetuan and other points 
 of the interior. It is a veritable romance-land, but space 
 forbids, &c., &c. The bulliest thing about it, though, is the 
 delightful absence of the almost omnipresent Britisher, with 
 his umbrella and guide-book. Then up through Spain — 
 Cadiz, Seville, Granada, Toledo, Valencia — lovely girls (fact), 
 mantillas, bull-fights, raisins and the slowest of trains. From 
 Madrid we hurried on to Paris to see the great salon exhibi- 
 tion, and after that up to Holland, where we settled down to 
 several months' work from nature, at Dordrecht. About the 
 middle of August my friends left me to return to America, 
 and a month later I returned to Paris and my work in the 
 schools.

 " Kept at my studies ia Paris until the cholera broke out in 
 our district, then returned to Italy. My work goes on in 
 quite a so-so manner, and I have discovered, like the rest of 
 the fellows, I guess, that the world is a large place, after all, 
 and the rungs of the ladder are some little distance apart. I 
 have been having a cane-spree with No. 1, and have managed 
 to keep both hands on so far, doing a little correspondence 
 for the papers, and drawing illustrations for the New York 
 magazines So the pot begins to simmer in an encouraging 
 manner." 
 
 A picture Tom painted in Holland last summer was 
 accepted by the jury of this year's "salon." He made 
 his professional debut May 1st. " Unfortunately " not en- 
 gaged, nor yet in a fair way to be. 
 
 CoLLis, W. E. After remaining in '84 one year, com- 
 pelled to leave, " completely broken down in health." Since 
 then has spent his time in Chester, N. J. Might be classed 
 as " a gentleman farmer without a farm." Expected to be 
 married about June 1st. 
 
 CoRNWELL, F. M. No report, 
 
 Craig, W. D. " Since I left Princeton I have been pretty 
 closely confined at home with the care of my father, who is 
 infirm and almost entirely blind. Since '83 I have remained 
 in Plainfield and busied myself with looking after his prop- 
 erty and person, and at the same time have studied enough 
 daily to keep my conscience easy." Billy has been a cor- 
 respondent of the New York Dramatic News. He will 
 remain in Plainfield as long as he can be of service to his 
 father. Is not engaged. 
 
 Crew, H. " In the autumn of '83 I went to Berlin and 
 studied physics [for Henry's other German recreations, consult 
 editor] until January, 1884. Spent the remainder of the Col- 
 lege year at Princeton. For the next three months I worked 
 in the employ of the Government, at Clifton, near Baltimore, 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 13 
 
 as an assistant to Kimball, '81, in the determination of the 
 ohm in absolute measure. Since the autumn of '84 I have 
 been at the Johns Hopkins University, where I expect to 
 spend two years more." Hopes to teach physics, and is not 
 engaged. 
 
 Critchlow, E. B. " Shortly after the adjournment of the 
 meeting, held at Princeton in June, 1883, I traveled west- 
 ward until I reached Salt Lake City, where, after a brief 
 spell of rustication in the mountains, I took up my abode. 
 In August of that year I successfully persuaded the honor- 
 able Supreme Court of this Territory that I knew enough 
 law to entitle me to admission to the bar, whereupon in an 
 unguarded moment I was admitted, and have thus far with- 
 stood all efforts to get me out. After spending a year here 
 I had about completed arrangements to leave and woo the 
 fickle goddess amid other scenes — those of Washington 
 Territory preferred. But certain considerations, not alto- 
 gether unconnected with the question of finances, together 
 with the inability of Pat Murphy to join me, prevented my 
 getting away, so that my shingle has hung out here ever 
 since, and here I shall probably remain for some years to 
 come. My plans for the future are few and easily told. I 
 purpose (1) to fearlessly and conscientiously uphold the 
 majesty of the law with as great a regard to the claims of 
 justice as the interests of my client will admit — if he have 
 money, he shall have law, if not, he shall have justice ; (2) 
 to maintain the constitution of the United States if T have 
 to do it alone ; (3) to succor the widow and the orphan — 
 widows in easy circumstances and orphans over thirty years 
 of age — one-half down as a retainer, the other half — of the 
 property in litigation — on trial of the case, the balance held 
 in trust until the final disposition of the case. My post- 
 office address will probably remain unchanged for some time 
 — both Poorhouse and Penitentiary are located here. 
 
 " So much for plans. Prospects are that few of them will 
 be carried out. Engaged ? Certainly."

 Cromer, J. C. "Since June, '83, my main profession has 
 been to study theology in Yale Seminary during the term 
 time, and to preach the gospel during the long summer 
 vacations. Spent the summer of '83 in Minnesota, and the 
 summer of '84 in the White Mountain region." Expects to 
 preach the gospel " some place on the globe." His matri- 
 monial representations are about as vague. " Engaged ? 
 Who ever heard of the theologue that was not ? " 
 
 Darlington, C. F. " On leaving Princeton I entered 
 Columbia Law School, and, in company with several of 
 ' our boys,' graduated last June. Last September I was 
 admitted to the New York bar, and since then have been 
 acting as clerk to my father. I expect to continue the study 
 of law, though my plans for the future are not very definite. 
 I am not married, nor even engaged to be, in fact do not 
 look for that blissful state until far in the future." 
 
 Day, G. L. " I've been on the Tribune for over six 
 months, and expect to stay. Last winter I studied law, but 
 learned very little. You can always address me here until 
 the building tumbles down or I get bounced. I am not 
 engaged." 
 
 From the above it may be inferred that George has dis- 
 continued the study of French — vide last Record — and has 
 returned from abroad. 
 
 Denby, C, Jr. Charlie has been selling real estate in 
 
 Evansville, Indiana, and expects to. Says his " literary 
 
 work" consists in a superficial study of the law." Is not 
 engaged. 
 
 Doland, J. B. " Business ? lawyer. Have traveled from 
 New York to Ohio two or three times. Have been to 
 Coney Island also. Have accomplished nothing in the 
 literary line, except have written a diary, but have con- 
 cluded not to publish it, because I can't find any one mean 
 enough to dedicate it to. ' Charlie ' did me most good. I

 still enjoy loafing. I expect to remain in New York city 
 and practice law. Not engaged." 
 
 DuNLAP, J. " In September of '83 I accepted a partner- 
 ship with Prof. D. F. Dimon, an old Princeton graduate, in 
 the ' Central Educational Bureau and Bureau of the Plat- 
 form,' 1613 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Pa. In Septem- 
 ber, '84, I dissolved my connection with the 'Educational 
 Bureau, &c.,' came to New Haven and entered the Yale 
 Theological Seminary, where I expect to continue my 
 theological studies for two years longer." Pop hopes to 
 enter the Presbyterian ministry, and is not engaged. [Mc- 
 Williams, Scudders and other heartless gossips please note.] 
 
 Dunning, H. W. " I have continued the practice of my 
 profession, the law, with fair success. My prospects, so far 
 as I can judge, are as good as those of the average young 
 man who attends to his business with fidelity and persever- 
 ance, and behaves himself. I am not engaged." 
 
 Edgar, M. No report. When last heard of, he was a 
 cowboy in Utah. Seen by Critch a year ago. 
 
 Elmendorf, D. L. D wight's letter is written from the 
 "Inst, for Deaf Mutes, Lexington Ave. cor. 67th St., New 
 York City." " My life since graduation has been very 
 pleasant; of course some storms and clouds, but on the 
 whole rather full of sunlight. My chief occupations are : 
 teaching the deaf to speak and understand speech by 
 watching the lips of the speaker ; and ' tooting ' on the organ 
 for the delectation of Dr. Crosby's congregation. My liter- 
 ary pursuits have all been in German, and German works 
 on German method of deaf-mute instruction. Also, have 
 made quite an extended research in photography as applied 
 to the lantern transparencies. Every month I give an ex- 
 hibition with the stereopticon, to the children of the insti- 
 tution." Probably will settle where he is teaching now. Not 
 engaged.

 Elmer, M. K. "I have been, for the past three years, 
 pursuing my medical studies at the University of Pennsyl- 
 vania, from which I graduated this spring. Having received 
 the appointment of resident physician in St. Mary's Hospital, 
 of Philadelphia, that will be my address from the first of 
 May. Time has not changed the blissfulness of a bachelor's 
 life." We accept this as a truism. Matt, but, in such an un- 
 married and unmarriageable class as ours, must suspect every 
 such generality as a disguised confession. 
 
 Emmons, H. H. " I have been interested in the Kew Jer- 
 sey Flint and Spar Co., Trenton, N. J., for more than a 
 year, and intend to go on with my present business. I am

 Ernst, E. H. " A few months after leaving College I 
 became connected with the Fred. J. Meyers Wire and Iron 
 Works, of Covington, Ky., acting with that firm in capacity 
 of secretary and treasurer. This position I still hold. I am 
 a decided freetrader when the results are beneficial to me, 
 otherwise a decided protectionist. As to my prospects, judg- 
 ing from present business aspects, the color is a ^^dark-blue." 
 But if hard work and close attention to duties will do any 
 good, a few years will make me well established in business. 
 Am not engaged." 
 
 Fine, J. B. Has been at Princeton the past two years, 
 studying and tutoring. Not engaged. Plans, " somewhat 
 mixed," and not likely to be settled before next summer. 
 
 Flick, L. " Since leaving Princeton have taken the 
 course of the Columbia Law School, and on graduating 
 there received the customary degree. After that, served my 
 clerkship in the office of ex-Judge Birdseye, and, in Janu- 
 ary last, was admitted to the New York bar. Will probably 
 practice law in Wilkesbarre, for some years at least. Pros- 
 pects . fair. In answer to the most important question — I

 GoLOKNATH, H. " I have been getting up a fund of in- 
 formation from the vade mecum of every-day philosophy in 
 America. Theological studies engross much of time and 
 attention. I have cultivated a fondness for literature and 
 criticism in general. But on the whole permit me to say 
 that, having but little in common with the rest of the class, 
 I am * dragging my slow length along ' in the race of life. 
 My plans and prospects still elude my grasp. I am waiting 
 for the occasion and opportunity to call them forth. I have, 
 however, ministry in view — India my field of labor. I leave 
 this country in May for Edinburgh. Am 1 engaged ? I am 
 afraid it is languishing after an unattainable Sappho's apple. 
 I have not found her." 
 
 Greene, G. F. " The early summer of '83 found me en- 
 gaged in missionary work in Nova Scotia, which lasted 
 during the long vacation following the Junior year in the 
 Seminary. Then followed a second year ' in Arabia,' (I 
 wonder if George Day knows what that means), succeeded 
 by another, appearing as a clerical star this time as the sup- 
 ply of the First Presbyterian Church, of West Chester, Pa., 
 during the summer of '84." Now he has just completed his 
 weary course at Princeton, and, not having been " shipped " 
 or " conditioned," was installed as pastor of the Presbyterian 
 Church of Cranford, N. J., on the 14th of May. " Here

 endeth the first lesson." " I have been a Republican ever 
 since, as a six-year-old, I hurrahed for Lincoln and Johnson, 
 and shouted over the defeat of Lee. I hate the Democratic 
 principles and feel contempt for Mugwumpism. I voted for 
 Blaine and would do it again, because I regard him the 
 greatest statesman since the time of Clay, because he is a 
 pronounced protectionist, because his party leans towards 
 increased centralization, and because his administration 
 would have tended to magnify the name America 
 [HOORAH !] in the eyes of the world and rescue the inter- 
 ests and honor of our nation in foreign countries from the 
 contempt with which they are at present apparently regarded. 
 Tennyson says : 
 
 ' In the spring the young man's fancy 
 Lightly turns to thoughts of love.'

 Grier, E. B. Was resident physician in a hospital in 
 Philadelphia for one year. "Went West with a patient, trav- 
 eled in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. 
 Remained West five months, since then has been practicing 
 his profession. Will settle permanently in the East this 
 autumn. " I am not engaged, but cannot say how soon I will 
 be." 
 
 GuYER, A. F. " Through the summer of '83 and all the 
 way up to January, '84, I tusselled with friend Blackstone 
 et al., occasionally wandering in the fields of journalism, 
 more for pleasure than profit. At that date I said farewell 
 to the legal world and, having dried my tears, turned again 
 to newspaper work, which lasted until about May. The 
 reason for my deserting the law was, I had never had a taste 
 for any profession, only entering it to please others and 
 selecting law as the least objectionable. Then I became a 
 gentleman of elegant but irksome leisure, interspersed by 
 caring for business interests of my father here and in New 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 19 
 
 York. About September I beeame a victim of the patent 
 fever, and continued to spend my time and substance thereon 
 until a recent date, when I put my interests into others' 
 hands and became a member of the firm of Guyer & Phillips, 
 insurance brokers and surveyors. I may mention that I have 
 taken out one patent, as inventor, and have two others pend- 
 ing in the Patent Office. For the future my plans are pretty 
 well settled, to remain in Philadelphia, build up ray busi- 
 ness, and settle in or near the city." Is Alonzo engaged ? 
 He inveighs against Dame Rumor, and claims to be under 
 necessity of making outside inquiries before he " can even 
 dare to hazard an opinion." 
 
 Hallock, G. B. " Biography — my occupation has been 
 the study of theology. Travels — to Nova Scotia, where I 
 have preached during the summer vacations, at Digby, on 
 the shore of the Bay of Fundy. Plans — to settle down in 
 a parish and preach the gospel, probably in the East." Is 
 not engaged. 
 
 Hallock, R. C- " I spent the summer of '83 tutoring 
 three young persons of the fair sex, and, to save myself 
 from brain fever, I took a two-weeks trip among the Berk- 
 shire Hills of Mass. in the autumn. Spent the seminary year 
 at Princeton. Took the ' Scribner Biblical Prize.' I was 
 in charge of a small Presbyterian church in Wayne Co., 
 Pa., during the summer." Here follows an interesting 
 itinerary of a walking tour, covering most of the N. E. por- 
 tion of North America. After which " Senior year put in 
 at Princeton. Couldn't go back on the old town. Expect 
 to settle. Engaged ? Yes, I am ; but I want you to dis- 
 tinctly understand that the girl never saw Princeton in her 
 life. So don't think I am to carry off one of the girls ' who 
 mashed our father's hearts, &c.' I respectfully ask Mc Wil- 
 liams to congratulate me." 
 
 Harris, C. B. M. In the autumn of '83, B. went to Spain 
 via London, Paris, &c. Thinks London melancholy, and 
 
20 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 Paris opera grand. He spent the Winter in Seville, wit- 
 nessed a bull fight (Oh! B !), and studied Spanish. 
 
 Harris, C. E. " I have been in my brother's law office 
 since I last reported. I shall probably remain with him after 
 being admitted to the bar." (A catastrophe expected this 
 June.) Chubby made such a violent efibrt to explain his 
 political views that his "platform" deserves publication. 
 " I may say that we Democrats in this region ask for Equal 
 Education, Equal Rights, Equal Laws, Day Light and Fair 
 Play. We are all reformers, of course. As to the tariff 
 question, I may also add that I believe in a tariff for revenue, 
 so adjusted as to afibrd protection to American industries, 
 and I shall be very glad to have some of my beloved class- 
 mates enunciate a plan by which it can be accomplished." 
 The poor boy says he is " still wandering in the realms of 
 bachelorhood," without even a hope that his state may soon 
 be changed. 
 
 Hemphill, P. Was admitted to practice law in Chester, 
 S. C, in December, '83, and has since been too busy to en- 
 gage in literature, travel, matrimony ante or ■post — in fact, 
 anything foreign to LAW. Paul claims to have abandoned 
 loafing, and to have become an obdurate bachelor. 
 
 Hibben, J. G. " In summer of '82 went to Berlin, took 
 two semesters there, studying on my fellowship. I also 
 traveled through Germany, Italy, France, England and 
 Scotland on my way home. Returning to America, I en- 
 tered Princeton Seminary in the Fall of '83. I still have 
 one more year before completing my course. During the 
 third term of '84 I was tutor in math, in the College, tak- 
 ing Harry Fine's place. My plans for the future are entirely 
 indefinite." Jack is not engaged. For two months he has 
 been professor of French and German at the Lawrenceville 
 Prep. School. ♦ 
 
 HiLLHOUSE, J. S. " After graduating with '81, I entered 
 the Theological Seminary at Princeton, and took the regular 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 21 
 
 course, graduating May, '84. I then returned to Georgia, 
 where I am engaged in preaching. My life since I wrote to 
 the Record has been very prosaic, and I have nothing of 
 interest to communicate. I may say, however, that I have 
 quit punning — Darius Greene drove me from the field. In 
 reply to your question whether I am married or engaged, I 
 will tell you frankly that I am not married." Jimmy always 
 was keen. 
 
 Howell, W. C. " The two years since our last Record 
 have passed very quickly and uneventfully with me, the 
 time having been devoted entirely to my profession, the 
 law. I graduated at the Law School in June, 1883, and com- 
 menced practicing immediately. My plans are, to remain 
 in this place (Keokuk, la.), and push ahead my profession 
 as fast as possible. The novelty of my early practice, which, 
 at first, seemed much like our Hall debates, has given place 
 to the steady work and solid fees and increasing practice. 
 Am not engaged." 
 
 Hughes, E. H., of Hughes, Red & Co., dealers in hard- 
 ware and agricultural implements, Abilene, Texas, mourns 
 that he has not seen a single member of our Class since the 
 fall of '82. [Must have been lonely, Eddie; most of them 
 single yet.] Has succeeded "fairly" in business. "The 
 fourth question I will answer some other time. I will say, 
 however, that I am not married." 
 
 HuRiN, S. E. Silas substituted Cincinnati for Morris- 
 town, and law studies for school teaching, in the Fall of '83. 
 He completes his course this spring ; will remain at home 
 and practice at his present address. Is not engaged. 
 
 Jackman, E. R. No report. 
 
 Larcombe, G. G. " Since June, '83, the greatest part of 
 my time and thoughts have been sacrificed upon the altar of 
 medical science. Taking as my motto, ' Be virtuous and you 
 
22 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 will be happy, though you will miss lots of fun,' I waded 
 through the requisite amount of medical lore at the Bellevu^ 
 Hospital Medical College. The degree of M.D. was con- 
 ferred upon me March 9th, 1885, with all the pomp and 
 paraphernalia admissible under such mournful circumstances. 
 It was my good fortune, upon the same occasion, to receive 
 an appoiiitment upon the resident staft' at Bellevue Hospital, 
 to take effect October 1st next ; term of service, eighteen 
 months. My plans for the future are to treat suffering hu- 
 manity to the best of my ability at regular rates ; prospects 
 at present veiled in obscurity. Still open for engagements." 
 
 Larkin, J. Is still with Butler, Stillman & Hubbard, 111 
 Broadway, N. Y. He writes: " I am still sticking to the law 
 and am likely to remain fastened to it. I was admitted in 
 September last, with Billy Toler, Charlie Darlington, and 
 John Chetwood, who are all but one [for the sake of those 
 who didn't take junior mathematics we may say this is two] 
 revolving with me about the sun of legal eminence in orbits 
 of more or less — principally less — magnitude in the city of 
 New York. I think you wanted to know which professor 
 or course of study benefited me most. They all did, I think. 
 A man needs all the professors, and not a certain class. I go 
 in for the course of instruction as it is, or rather was, in 
 Princeton when '82 was there. I am neither married nor 
 engaged, and consequently will be at the class dinner with 
 the rest of the boys, and especially with Mc Williams, whom 
 I met once on Wall street, and who, to my question whether 
 he was going to the class dinner, said, ' You bet I am, and 
 what's more, I am going to carry my own pot of paint, too." 
 Mac's association with Peabody in the Seminary in this city 
 has proved too much for his good resolutions." 
 
 Libbey, F. a. Graduated with '83 after " the painful 
 separation from '82,''' worked for a short time in a banking 
 house, studied one year at Columbia School of Mines, and 
 at date is interested in one business project or another, and 
 incidentally in railroading. " Most people have not been 
 
Triennial Kecord of the Class of '82. 23 
 
 able to decide the mooted point as to whether or no I am to 
 be placed in the category of the 'engaged.' The jury is 
 still out, in several senses." 
 
 Life, J. C. No report. 
 
 LiNDSLEY, C. A. " Dabbled a little in electricity, with a 
 view of following it as a profession, but gave it up, after 
 due consideration, as offering a good field for inventive 
 genius, and for nothing else. Since then I have been with 
 my father in the coal and hardware business in Orange, 
 where I expect to remain. Plans — settling down in Orange 
 and following footsteps of father and grandfather — business 
 established in 1808." Charlie is pessimistic " in reference 
 to a college education (?)," and sees no probability of being 
 engaged. Sad. 
 
 Lloyd, S. Dr. Samuel Lloyd, of 110 West 40th street, 
 traveled through the West during summer of '82, studied 
 medicine the rest of the time until graduation last June. 
 Since then has been teaching Minor Surgery and Bandaging 
 in the New York Post-graduate Medical School and Hos- 
 pital. "I am also engaged at present in writing our society 
 reports for the medical journals, and hope soon to have a 
 journal started with myself in the editorial chair. I am 
 engaged." 
 
 Magie, D., Jr. Dave's second year at the College of 
 Physicians and Surgeons, New York, was interrupted by ill 
 health. In February, '84, he journeyed South ; in the 
 following summer to the Adirondacks ; thence, after a short 
 stay at home, to Colorado, where he expected to remain 
 until his strength was restored. At present he is at del 
 Norte tackling the law in the office of an adjacent lawyer. 
 
 Marshall, C. H. " Since June, '83, 1 have been engaged 
 in missionary work in Allegheny City, Pa., and have been 
 in attendance at the U. P. Theological Seminary at the 
 
24 . Triennial Eecord of the Class of '82. 
 
 same place. I finished my Seminary course March 25th, and 
 at the same time surrendered my position as missionary. 
 Probably before the 1st of June will accept a call to the U. 
 P. congregation at Parnassus, Pa. Not I, sir. Not any pros- 
 pect of such a thing. However, I am not theoretically 
 opposed, and will embrace the first opportunity." 
 
 Martin, P. " In the Class Record of two years ago my 
 present and prospective occupation was given as electric 
 lighting. Nevertheless, September, '83, found me back in 
 Princeton again, matriculated as student in Princeton Semi- 
 nary, where I have since been enjoying study and the pleas- 
 ant companionship which made the four years of College so 
 delightful. I have no plans for the future, matrimonially or 
 professionally, except to proceed with my seminary course 
 in Princeton. I expect to spend the summer preaching in 
 Wayne Co., Pa." 
 
 Maxwell, J. E. "I left College for the treatment and 
 rest of my eyes, and after two years' absence I re-entered 
 Princeton, and became a member of '84. While yet in the 
 the first term of my Senior year I met with a serious finan- 
 cial misfortune, through the failure of a business firm, and 
 was obliged to leave College. Since then, through a line of 
 circumstances, I have become engaged in the business of 
 milling flour. I greatly regret that I was not permitted to 
 finish my College course. I especially regret that my plan 
 of passing from the College to the Seminary, in preparation 
 for the Christian ministry, has been completely interfered 
 with ; but it is the will of an all-ruling Providence. I am 
 neither engaged nor married — a sweeping statement; but 
 do not infer from this that I take no interest in the fair sex." 
 
 McCarter, U. H. Mac refers biographically to "our last 
 Eecord." "I am still, and hope to continue, with Kidder, 
 Peabody & Co., bankers, New York, and have done nothing 
 worthy of note since my last report." This is a gross mis- 
 representation. Reports have circulated freely, in the vicin- 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 25 
 
 ity of the editorial chair, of brilliant mashing by Mac during 
 the past season in his native town. Nay, even of a con- 
 summation, but we read " am not engaged." Really, this 
 formula begins to lose some of its freshness. 
 
 McWiLLiAMS, J. A. " Since '83 I have been pursuing ray 
 Seminary work, with a summer's preaching at Winona, 
 Minn. I have accepted a call to Port Jervis, N. Y. ; will 
 be ordained and installed June 16th." Mac has had a per- 
 fect fusillade of calls — six in all — and has been making things 
 very lively for this section of country for some time past. 
 " Engaged ? Yes. For fuller developments see hand-bills 
 about May 20." 
 
 MiLFORD, C. R. " In the fall of '83 I obtained a position 
 in the public schools of Danville, 111., and taught there 
 until the close of the school year, June, 1884. In the mean- 
 time I did not allow my law studies to be neglected. In June, 
 '83, 1 was in the law ' biz.' ; now I am in the same. I have 
 only one plan for the future — to stick to the law, I am not 
 a Mugwump, because, in national politics, a bad Republican 
 is better than a stupid Democrat." [Elmira papers please 
 copy.] "Ami engaged? Well, I should say not. I be- 
 lieve in the good old maxim : 'Ne monkeyez pas avec un 
 saw de buzz.' It is a splendid rule of life." 
 
 Mills, A. E. "Since our last re-union I have continued 
 my work as law student and clerk in my father's office at 
 Morristown, N, J. After I am admitted to the bar, I expect 
 to practice in Morristown. I am not engaged, and do not 
 expect to be for some time to come." 
 
 Montgomery, W. J., is still in the real estate business, and 
 getting along much better than he expected. Still unmar- 
 ried. Promises a hearty welcome to any of his classmates, 
 who " must " call on him when they visit New Orleans. 
 
 Murphy, W. " From June, '83, to June, '84, 1 continued 
 to study law, at the Law School of the University of Penn- 
 
26 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 sjlvania, and in the office of George Junkin, Esq., at Phila- 
 delphia. In June, '84, I graduated from the Law School, 
 and in the same month was admitted to the Philadelphia 
 bar. Since then I have continued to be admitted. I find 
 the members of this bar to be, on the whole, a real nice set 
 of fellows, and the law-books real interesting. And there's 
 a real interesting class of creatures — strange creatures, called 
 ' clients,' — which are a very rare species ; and the lawyers 
 here amuse themselves in trying to catch them. I have 
 caught a few little specimens, and have them nicely stuffed. 
 My principal achievement, since admission, has been to wear 
 out a chair cushion, I have also sprung upon the commu- 
 nity a ponderous law tome, viz., 'Remainders to Children 
 as a Class,' printed in Philadelphia, and used principally for 
 gratuitous insertion in boxes of reading matter for the Insane 
 Poor. It was an agony of mine at the Law School. I have 
 also in press, by the same publisher, a Digest of the Part- 
 nership Laws of Pennsylvania, and a similar Digest of the 
 Pennsylvania Corporation Cases. 
 
 Critch. and I hope some day to tie up together in a law 
 partnership in some incipient Chicago in the Wide W. But 
 this is for the present postponed and rather indefinite. 1 
 have been suffering from a press ot spring engagements, not 
 of the kind — think it not — which result from the alleged in- 
 corrigible tendency of the young man's fancy at that season 
 of the year. Corns and my spring suit have absorbed most 
 of my surplus emotions so far." 
 
 Parker, C. W. " Career, since graduation from College, 
 quite uneventful. Trip to Europe in summer of 1882. 
 Entered my father's law office October 1st, '82, and have 
 been there ever since and am there still. Expect to be 
 admitted to practice law in June, '85, if I can pass examin- 
 ations. Musical work hardly worth mentioning. Am presi- 
 dent — with a very small p — of the Choral Union of Trinity 
 Church, Newark. No prospects of either success or opu- 
 lence, but of hard work and small pay, and a prolonged stay 
 in Newark." No. 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 27 
 
 Peabody, W. C. " '83-'84 I was assistant in the College 
 Library, and spent another year very pleasantly and profit- 
 ably there among the books. While there I continued a 
 post-graduate course in Greek with Prof. Orris, from which 
 I derived much benefit. In the spring I passed an examin- 
 ation and submitted a thesis on ' The Doctrine of Ideas in 
 the Platonic Philosophy.' During the following summer I 
 gave up my idea of studying medicine, and made up my 
 mind to study for the Christian ministry. I deserted Prince- 
 ton, and, turning my back on the old-school conservative 
 theology [Seminoles, how are you now ?] and on the home 
 of old blue Presbyterianism, I entered Union Theological 
 Sem., where I have been for the past year, digging Hebrew 
 roots, wearying my brain with Assyriology and cuneiform 
 inscriptions and dipping into theology. Prospects for the 
 future indefinite. I hope that I may lead a good and useful 
 life. I am still free. I suppose, though, 'some day,' I shall 
 meet her." 
 
 Peebles, T. When Senator Ormond was called to a pro- 
 fessorship at Princeton, Tommie quietly stepped into the 
 position thus made vacant in the University of Minn. He 
 is now, therefore. Instructor in Mental Science and History 
 in that institution, and really at the head of that depart- 
 ment ; for no professor has been elected. 
 
 PiERSON, G. P. " Owing to the resignation of the princi- 
 pal of the Morris Academy and the consequent uncertain 
 future of the school, I evacuated Morristown and accepted a 
 position offered me in the Pingry School, Elizabeth, N. J., 
 where I have taught — classics chiefly — for the past two 
 years. If I may judge from my post-graduate experience, I 
 should be far from sorry to learn that I was fated to remain 
 a pedagogue. However, I expect to enter Princeton Semi- 
 nary next fall, and become — w^ell, see Decennial Record. 
 I spent half of last year's salary and all of last summer in 
 Europe, putting in most of the time in Gottingen, Germany, 
 where I perpetrated Hermann and Dorothea, likewise origi- 
 
28 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 nal German, on the delighted natives. Took in a very little 
 of Holland, Belgium and Scotland, and a great deal of Lon- 
 don. Have located in America permanently. As an author, 
 the greatest effort of my life has been editing the memoirs 
 of some American men of letters." 
 
 Porch, F. M., presents the phenomenon of a young law- 
 yer successful. His report is essentially the same as that 
 published in the last Record. Still in Bridgeton, N. J. He 
 is a happy 'pater familias — ' familias ' being a two-and-a-half 
 year old son. '80 has not won his affections from '82. 
 
 Potter, T. "In the fall of '83 I began the study of 
 medicine under the direction of Dr. R. D. Mussey. In the 
 spring of '84 I matrisulated as a student in the Medical 
 College of Ohio, Cincinnati, within whose time-(and blood-) 
 stained walls I am still pursuing ' original investigations.' I 
 expect to take four years — one more than is customary — and 
 shall thereupon, if all goes well, graduate in the spring of 
 '87. It is not certain yet where I shall settle. I received 
 last spring, as a reward of labor, a set of bones from the 
 Prof, of Anatomy. So I have one skeleton in my closet 
 already. Engaged ? Well, I have spent every evening for 
 two months with a lady. Yet matters are still in statu quo. 
 Reason ? She was dead. And yet I could not give her up. 
 I consult her on many a perplexing problem, and she is a 
 model counselor, for she knows well how to keep her mouth 
 shut. No. I am not engaged. I am not mad, but soon 
 may be, if rumor is to be credited." 
 
 Prentiss, H. S. Henry is very decidedly engaged, and 
 still uses a stylograph. However, the words of his com- 
 munication, as nearly as can be deciphered, are somewhat 
 as follows : " Occupation since graduation, Stevens Institute 
 of Technology and experimental work on the subject of 
 thermo-electricity, in connection with a graduating thesis on 
 the same subject. Business the same, namely, mechanical 
 engineering, with a tendency towards electricity as a spec- 
 ialty. Purposes and prospects — don't know."

 Rafferty, O. " My attention has been running chiefly in 
 channels of medicine, with an occasional game of ball — 
 mostly for pleasure, but occasionally for other considerations. 
 Getting exceedingly tired of the regular routine work of the 
 medical college, and learning that it was possible for a man 
 to serve his junior six months in the large hospitals of this 
 city (New York, Blackwell's Island,) without holding a 
 degree of M.D., I came up in the public competitive exam- 
 ination last fall, and won a place on the junior staff of the 
 Charity Hospital, being the only man who has accomplished 
 that feat at the hospital in over ten years. Have just fin- 
 ished my finals at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. 
 My plans and prospects of marriage are in an embryonic 
 condition." 
 
 Ralston, J. J. " From June till September, '83, I was 
 principal of the Normal Academy, in Worthington, Pa. 
 From September to April, attended Allegheny Theological 
 Seminary, having my old partner, ' Tommy ' Marshall, for a 
 room-mate. Summer of '84, was again principal of above 
 academy. Since last September, have been in Princeton 
 Seminary, absorbing the germs of theology which are afloat 
 in the atmosphere of this place. Have completed a course 
 in the '■Catena of Patristic Testimony.' I pursue one course in 
 College, i. e., am trying to learn how to make out my card 
 for a book in the College Library without making a mistake. 
 Am discouraged ! I may pass in that branch without a con- 
 dition, but will probably not receive a higher grade than at 
 Todd's French examination Fresh, year. No jeopardizing 
 engagements. Plans not matured. Will probably go West 
 for a time." 
 
 Rankin, E. S. " In May, '83, Joe (Woodruff) and I left 
 for the 'boundless West,' objective point being Dakota; 
 object, to see the country, stay if we liked it, or come home 
 if we did not. We reached Belfield, D. T., about the first 
 of June. Staid there about a month, but found nothing to 
 do. While there we visited the Bad Lands, where we were 
 
30 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 subpoenaed as witnesses in a murder trial, and taken to 
 Mandan, 150 miles further east, the nearest county seat. We 
 liked the town so much that after the trial was over we 
 decided to stay. Joe will tell you how he became editor of 
 the Mandan Pioneer, while I tried my hand at a variety 
 of things, starting in a real estate office and going, by suc- 
 cessive stages, into farming, city and country surveying, 
 drug business, etc., ending up with laying out a town for a 
 French marquis in the Bad Lands. If ever the city of 
 Medora plays an important part in the history of our coun- 
 try, please bear in mind that the streets were originally 
 staked out by 'yours truly.' We found some very good 
 society in the ' wilds,' of both sexes, but I was able to return 
 bringing my heart with me. As the winter came on, busi- 
 ness began to get slack, and the ties of friendship decided 
 us on coming home. I regret to state that I loafed all the 
 winter. In March, obtained a position in the Maintenance 
 of Way department of the P. R. R., Jersey City, where I 
 have been ever since, and will certainly be until something 
 better turns up." 
 
 Ranney, p. While at Scribner's Pen's health proved 
 uncertain, and the firm sent him traveling for them for a 
 few months in the South. He found the work too trying, 
 and, in July, '84, left the " books " for the laboratory. He 
 has returned to his first love — Chemistry, and now may be 
 found at the State Scientific School, New Brunswick, where 
 he expects to study until June, '86. Those best capable of 
 judging, affirm that Pen is still matrimonially unembar- 
 rassed. 
 
 Reiber, a. E. 
 
 Root, F. F. " In June, '83, as nearly as I can recollect, I 
 was hard at work doing nothing. Since that time I have 
 been variously engaged as school teacher, counter-jumper in 
 an optician's store, and assistant editor of a one-horse paper. 
 None of these occupations have proved either congenial or 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 31 
 
 remunerative, and, at present writing, I am a first-year stu- 
 dent at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. My plan 
 for the future is to get through the Medical School as soon 
 as may be — combining a maximum of study with a minimum 
 of other work — to spend from one to four years in a hospital, 
 and then work up a private practice. I have raised a beard 
 and shaved it off" again. In politics I have changed from a 
 Republican to an Independent " [which is Frankie's way of 
 spelling Mugwump]. Here follow the reasons therefor, 
 which we reserve for the North American Review. 
 
 Rowe, R. B. Pete, like all the rest "continued," but in 
 his case " medicine " must be substituted for the more com- 
 mon "law." He graduated from the University of Penn- 
 sylvania in May, but the work of destruction has not fairly 
 begun yet. On the matrimonial question he maintains a 
 discreet silence. 
 
 RuTHERFURD, L. Livy's ^^ report" is too explicit to require 
 comment. " Between ourselves, does it not occur to you that 
 this scheme of catechism is rather after the manner of a 
 ' honeyman' on the faculty's biographical catalogue ? Who 
 cares whether J. Smith earns his living by shaving clients or 
 notes, and whether he is a Mugwump or an infidel ? The 
 practical outcome is simply the gratification of a morbid 
 curiosity quite befitting Vassar students. So you may count 
 me among the goats in this enterprise and put down what- 
 ever you think suitable. You may depend upon it, however, 
 that I will be present at the feed. 
 
 " Sincerely, 
 
 "L. RUTHERFURD. 
 
 " P. S. I believe you wrote that letter to me on Sunday. 
 
 "L. R." 
 
 ScuDDER, L. R. " I have been carrying on my theological 
 studies here at Hartford, spending vacations at home in 
 Glastonbury till last September, when my home started for 
 India and left me behind. My literary work has been con- 
 
32 Triennial Eecord of the Class op '82. 
 
 lined to sermonizing. It is against my principles to have my 
 sermons printed, so you need not tease me to send you one 
 to put in the Record. I have decided, so far as the decision 
 of this question comes within my power, to be a foreign 
 missionary. I hope India may be my field of labor. Next 
 year and the year following I hope to be in New York at the 
 College of Physicians and Surgeons." Not engaged — Billy 
 has entire charge of that department. 
 
 ScuDDER, W. W., Jr. " Since 1883 I have spent the 
 months of study in Hartford Theological Seminary and vaca- 
 tions at home. Purposes for present future are pastoral work 
 in the West, probably Alameda, Cal. Plans for foreign mis- 
 sionary service have had to be postponed for two years or so, 
 anyway, and possibly will have to be given up altogether. 
 Engaged ? Yes." Billy adds a very interesting sequel to 
 this last but, as it is strictly confidential, we may say nothing 
 of it until after the ceremony. 
 
 Shaw, W. McD. " Cincinnati Law School until May, '84, 
 then graduated. From that time until September, a loafer. 
 Plans for future ? Law. Prospects? Starvation. Engaged? 
 The only engagement I have is to sit here and wait for 
 clients." Billy modestly refrains from mentioning his win- 
 ning the prize for " Forensic Discussion " at the Law School 
 of the Cincinnati College last May ('84) Ed. Ernst says, 
 " Shaw is a great masber," although Billy, himself, chants 
 the same old minor. 
 
 Sherwood, W. B. Mother incoheres thus : " My most 
 beloved and well-meaning friend, Dear Sir: Amen. Greet- 
 ing. If so be that this instructive letter comes too late to 
 be of use, congratulate yourself that it is of so little value. 
 If I start out modestly I will end splendidly, so come with 
 me. My dear young friend, so surely as the rapids are below 
 you, let us attend first to business and afterwards have 
 recourse to the amenities of life. If the introduction is suf- 
 ficient, let us proceed to the apotheosis.

 " I came to my native place and did busy myself in farm- 
 ing. Of travels, none. Of literary work, nothing special, 
 except a little German. With regard to politics and the 
 tariff I have no objection to being interviewed, and please 
 don't give my views sufficient publicity to lead any one 
 astray. At present I am very much in the position of a 
 Republican who votes the Democratic ticket and who has 
 strong sympathies with the Independents, but who would be 
 pleased to indorse the Mugwumps also, if he could only get 
 a clear definition of the term. Any plans must be formed 
 for the occasion, to be repented of and changed afterwards, 
 no doubt. Ami engaged? Oh, no, the youth is not yet 
 engaged, but perhaps the youth will be engaged. The east 
 wind blows keen, children, let us go in out of the rain." 
 
 Shober, J. B., has passed his medical finals at University 
 of Penna., where he has studied for the past three years. 
 Prospects good. December 1st he goes on duty as Resident 
 Physician to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. 
 
 Simons, E. S. Ed. has kept up the manufacturing jewelry 
 business, spending his time " equally in New York and 
 Philadelphia," resultant of forces plainly projecting him into 
 the vicinity of Princeton. 
 
 Simpson, F. " As I write, I imagine myself back again 
 in Princeton. Somehow or other the atmosphere seems 
 changed, and, instead of ordinary business, Latin, Greek 
 and mathematics, Brackett Hall and college songs, with 
 foot-ball and all my friends are around me. There is not 
 much in bustling, busy Kansas City, in this ' Little Giant 
 of the West,' to remind one of classic Princeton. In June, 
 '83, 1 came West to look over the ground here, with the 
 prospect of locating in case the situation suited me. My 
 cousin, and now my partner, met me, and, after making as 
 thorough an inquiry into the surroundings as possible, we con- 
 cluded to open up an office and trust ourselves to the tender 
 mercies of the world as Real Estate and Loan Brokers.

 After this determination was made, I went back home, and 
 spent the summer in having a general good time. By the 
 first of September I was back again in Kansas City, and 
 have been here ever since, with the exception of my visits 
 home. Our business here has been very good, both our 
 brokerage business and our own speculation. We have 
 made no bad breaks, and have not been cheated, and, with 
 the help of our limited supply of brains, intend to keep 
 right on and make all the money we can. If there are any 
 young physicians in the class who are undecided where to 
 go, it would be well to give Kansas City some consideration." 
 
 SuMMERiLL, J. J. " In the autumn of '83, I commenced 
 reading law with Bergen & Bergen, of Camden, N. J., and 
 am at it yet. Plans are to get to practicing law as soon as 
 possible. Prospects good. Am sorry to say that I have 
 been unable to become engaged — haven't had time. But 
 
 ' Where's the cheek, however soft, 
 That one would kiss so very oft? ' " 
 
 SuTPHENy W. G. VAN T. " In June, 1883, 1 resigned from 
 the World, and went to Central Pennsylvania to assist in the 
 construction of a new railroad to the coal fields. I was told 
 that I would soon be made a director of the Company, or 
 would be given some other profitable and dignified position. 
 On my arrival, however, my childlike dreams were rudely 
 shattered, and I compromised by becoming a member of 
 the chain-gang of the engineer corps. I remained three 
 months, fighting rattlesnakes and my landlord — for the 
 Company were painfully remiss in settling their accounts. 
 Finally the Italians on the road struck, and we had an 
 amateur riot, in which I behaved with conspicuous gal- 
 lantry and shot a cow. The Company then suspended (if 
 we could have caught any of the officers we would have 
 conducted the suspension ourselves), and I walked home. 
 This last is only figuratively speaking. I have still a bill 
 for services rendered, which I will be glad to place in any 
 young lawyer's hands.

 " In December I received an offer to go to California as 
 private secretary to a mining man. I accepted and went, 
 reaching San Francisco December 19th. My employer had 
 changed his mind, and thought he did not need a secretary, 
 but told me I could go to his mines in Inyo county, east of 
 the Sierras, and act as his representative there. There was 
 nothing else to do, so I went. tTnfortunately the men 
 already in charge chose to regard me as a spy. I got along 
 as well as I could for a month or two, taking care of the 
 horses, selling groceries to the Indians, painting the mill — 
 in short, performing the usual duties of a private secretary. 
 Finally the bad feeling between my colleagues and myself 
 culminated in an open row. One of them called me a bad 
 name, and I felt obliged to smite him. The battle had to 
 be drawn, however, in a few moments, to enable me to find 
 my glasses, and the foreman of the mine then stepped in 
 with a gun and convened a peace congress. The boys in 
 the mine — with whom I was on very good terms — offered to 
 go up that night and hang my esteemed contemporaries, but 
 this I generously would not permit. I went to San Fran- 
 cisco and tried to have matters arranged on a more satisfac- 
 tory basis, but failed. 
 
 " I then returned to Inyo county on my own hook, having 
 been invited by some miners to go with them to the Ccjeur 
 d'Alene gold fields, in Idaho. The plan fell through, though, 
 and I was stranded, I didn't want to go back without accom- 
 'plishing something, so I remained in the little desert mining 
 town — it had a population of forty people, four bar-rooms 
 and a fine graveyard — for a couple of months, cooking for 
 myself, translating Latin hymns and Spanish ballads, and 
 waiting for the ace of trumps to turn up. At last I was 
 offered a place on a mine survey ; but on the second day I 
 was taken down with an old trouble and unable to walk. I 
 thought it was about time to get home, which I did, arriv- 
 ing by the Pacific Mail route in New York in May, 1884. 
 Balance sheet : Debit, $400 ; credit, a complete and — in 
 future, I hope — a profitable knowledge of three-card-monte. 
 
 " Since then I have been engaged in newspaper work. 
 
36 Tkiennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 assisting in editing the weekly edition of the World, and 
 also doing work on two other papers. 
 
 "The part of the college curriculum that has been of most 
 benefit to me was undoubtedly Chapel Stage, with compli- 
 mentary mention of Eng. Lit., The Tiger, and Whig Hall 
 Theatricals. No, I am not engaged. I should like to be a 
 widower, as it gives one a certain dignity and standing in 
 society ; but the process of arriving at that enviable state is 
 too uncertain." 
 
 Taylor, G. Y. " Of the past three years I need say little 
 but ' vide Record 1882-'83.' Study and teaching have been 
 combined in varying proportions, with an occasional flavor- 
 ing of ' bat.' Nothing of startling interest has occurred 
 except the presentation to your humble servant of an M.D. 
 degree. My purposes for the future are to live and let live, 
 so far as is consistent with the practice of medicine. My 
 prospects are vague, very. I shall spend a year — beginning 
 October 1st — in the Presbyterian Hospital, of Philadelphia,, 
 as Vesident physician. 
 
 " I am not, have not been, have not tried to be, have not 
 wanted to be, and do not expect to be, to try to be, or to- 
 want to be, engaged." 
 
 Taylor, I. N. No report from Isaac, personally, but his 
 brother writes : " My brother, Mr. I. N. Taylor, is at present 
 traveling through the "West in search of whatever he can 
 lay his hands on." 
 
 Terhune, H. S. " I spent the college year of '83-84 at 
 the Columbia Law School. After graduating there in May, 
 went abroad and spent the summer traveling through the 
 Holy Land, stopping over for a day or two now and then at 
 Monmouth Park, in order to witness a few of the competi- 
 tions for the large stakes." The delicate humor of this sen- 
 tence is well worthy of careful study. Harry has evidently 
 not forgotten the precepts of his old instructor in English 
 Literature, Prof. Peebles. By this time Stafl" is doubtless a 
 
Triennial Eecord of the Class op '82. 37 
 
 full-fledged member of the New Jersey bar. Still free from 
 entangling alliances. 
 
 ToLER, W. P. Billy writes from the law office of Root & 
 Martin, 83 Cedar street, New York City. The usual legal 
 trilogy — Law School, unengaged, grubbing — will about 
 complete his biography. 
 
 Van Stone, S. B., has been engaged in teaching ever since 
 '83 ; was called from Peapack to Hackensack to take the 
 position of assistant principal of the Union Street School ; 
 pursued the study of medicine for a short time. " For the 
 future, I expect to teach as long as I do anything. My pros- 
 pects are bright. I have the best wife there is to be found 
 in this land." Van has had to mourn the death of his first 
 born son. 
 
 Waddell, R. S. " I can't help but think how little my 
 record has changed since graduation. Commenced to study 
 law (in West Chester) in September, 1882, attended the 
 Law School of the University of Pennsylvania for one year, 
 and was admitted to the bar on the 5th of January, 1885. 
 Couldn't say which (college) professors helped me most, 
 they all did me so much good. Am not engaged." Of course 
 — immediate inference from law studies. 
 
 Wallace, B. L. Bish. still occupies the position of teller 
 in the Clearfield County Bank, and hopes some day to " run 
 a bank." He is also connected with the Clearfield Bitumi- 
 nous Coal Co., and it is simply stunning to read among the 
 directors, following the names of Cornelius Vanderbilt, 
 John G. Reading, &c.. Bishop L. Wallace. Bish. is still a 
 Democrat, " and a good one now. ' Good for twenty years.' 
 Engaged ? Oh, no." 
 
 Warfield, E. D., was admitted to the bar June 16th, 
 1884 — has no plans or prospects — is not engaged. It is 
 stated, however, on excellent authority, that Doc. is beyond 
 
38 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 hope an inveterate lady-killer. His conquests have made 
 historic parts of New Jersey, at least. There is a heresy 
 in Doc's report which it is the part of the faithful editor 
 to expose. "I drift sadly out of the way of seeing and 
 knowing the fellows who once so fondly imagined that the 
 bonds of class friendship would prove unseverable." Will Pete 
 Bryant and Simpson please lay the skeptic out. 
 
 Welles, H. H., Jr. " Occupied since June, '83, with 
 polling of law, including the year 1883-4 spent at Columbia 
 Law School, and am still indulging in the same recreation. 
 Plans are, admission to the bar twixt this and June, with 
 more or less indefinite prospect thereof, and practice at 
 Wilkesbarre, Pa. Not engaged." 
 
 West, R. H, From far across the seas comes Rob's 
 report. " When I sent in my report in 1883 I was assistant 
 in the observatory in Allegheny, Pa., under Prof. Langley. 
 I resigned that position in September following, and on the 
 16th of October sailed from New York. I spent a few days 
 in London and Paris, and reached Beyrout on November 
 15th. Since then this has been my home, except last summer, 
 which was spent on Mt. Lebanon. During 1883-4 I was 
 Instructor in English in the Syrian Protestant College, while 
 this year I am Instructor in Mathematics, with the care of our 
 little observatory. My present engagement here ends in July, 
 1886. My movements after that are uncertain ; I may stay 
 here, or I may go direct to the United States, or I may 
 study in Germany. Not engaged — wish I was." 
 
 Westervelt, G. " I will plunge at once 'm medias res.' 
 This Latin is the last surviving remnant of a classical educa- 
 tion. My career since June, '83, has been an exceedingly 
 checkered one. I came West that summer and lived some 
 eight months on a ranch in Western Oregon, owned by two 
 Harvard fellows. My duties while there were of a menial 
 and sometimes exceedingly filthy character, including the 
 care of pigs and the cleaning of barns, &c., but the company 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 39 
 
 was very pleasant, and our labors were varied by an occa- 
 sional trip to and spree in Portland. While on this ranch I 
 entirely recovered my health, which had quite broken down 
 before I left the East. About the middle of the winter I 
 migrated into Eastern Oregon, where I hired out on a sheep 
 ranch for a month or two. During my stay there I had been 
 corresponding with a friend located in Fort Benton, Mon- 
 tana, the result of which was a further migration on my part 
 to the last mentioned place. I have taken part in various 
 enterprises here, including, among other things, the gold 
 stampede to the Little Rocky Placers, from which I soon re- 
 turned. In January I went to Helena, where the Legislature 
 of the Territory met, and lobbied successfully for the posi- 
 tion of engrossing clerk. My stay in Helena was riotous and 
 enjoyable in the extreme, as well as successful in the line of 
 my work. I returned a few weeks ago and am now estab- 
 lished permanently here (Great Falls, Montana,) in this infant 
 town, which is just beginning to boom. I have just formed 
 a partnership under the style of Gibson & Westervelt, real 
 estate and insurance agents, contractors and builders, bunko 
 steerers, &c., &c. I have been hard at work carpentering all 
 day — we are building our own office. It would puzzle a 
 much more far-seeing fellow than myself to say much about 
 my future plans in this young and rapidly changing country, 
 but my upper lip is still rigid and I hope for the best. 
 
 " My literary work is too voluminous to be treated of at 
 present. The college professor to whom I believe I owe 
 most is Prof. George Goldie. Kindest regards to all the 
 boys." Westy is non-committal on the engagement ques- 
 tion. 
 
 Wheeler, T. K. " Since '83 my record has been, &c." 
 [We all know the little song.] " I have obtained my degree 
 of LL.B. from Columbia College Law School, and changed 
 my city address to the office of Edward S. Hatch, Esq., 55 
 Liberty street, New York. Beyond this there is nothing 
 noteworthy. Once in a while I meet a Princeton man, which 
 event, of course, makes that day a red-letter one, from 
 
40 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 which subsequent events are reckoned." [Dad's English is 
 elegant, as of yore, but unfortunately the gracious sraile by 
 which such sentiments used to be accompanied cannot be 
 transferred to unfeeling paper.] " My plans, so far as I can 
 state, are to continue in the line already marked out, as I 
 know of no benefit to be derived — for me [ingenuously mod- 
 est implication] by going West, or East, or South. If I can 
 deserve success,! shall be satisfied." Could anything be more 
 touching than that! The vanity of all human ambitions 
 must have been forcibly demonstrated to Dad's sweet young 
 soul by some sad experience — possibly a " cruel fair," for he 
 writes, " I am not engaged." 
 
 White, E. J. The Deacon has been treed in Los Angeles, 
 Cal. Freddie Burt has seen him, and announces that he "is 
 in business, is married and settled down for life." Why, 
 Freddie, do you tantalize us with mere morsels ? When 
 did the Deacon get in his fine matrimonial work ? Did he 
 get Jack Life's formal consent ? Who is the — that is, is the 
 present Deaconess, she whose correspondence precluded 
 anything biographical from Everett ? Are there instrumen- 
 tal clubs in Los Angeles ? Oris the Deacon's "business" 
 conducted without the winsome smile and clarinet ? 
 
 Wilcox, H. D. " In September, '83 (after studying law 
 one year), I entered the gas-fixture house of Mitchell, Vance 
 & Co., where I am at present. My intentions are rather un- 
 defined as yet. I shall probably stick to the gas-fixture 
 business for some time yet, but hardly think it permanent." 
 Hal still poses as a bachelor. 
 
 Williams, F. R. Another " uneventful" lawyer. Grad- 
 uated this spring from Law School, Baltimore, Md. " Not 
 engaged — the law is too jealous." 
 
 Wills, W. H. " Since the publication of our last Record 
 my occupation has been drafting. In August, '83, 1 left the 
 Edgar Thompson Steel Co. to fill a similar position with the 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 41 
 
 Lucy Furnace Co., of Pittsburg, where I remained until the 
 completion of the improvement to their plant in February 
 of the present year. Since then I have been out of busi- 
 ness, and in the meantime find leisure for professional and 
 general reading, the claims of society, &c. Plans not yet 
 matured. Am I engaged ? Well, not yet; nor likely to be 
 in the immediate 'soon.'" 
 
 Wilson, J. " I have been doing the professional invalid 
 business, a role for which nature has in many ways fitted 
 me. October, November and December, '83, I spent in 
 Kansas for my health. January, February and March, '84, 
 I was teaching the English department in the State Normal 
 School at Indiana, Pa. Since then, I have been the victim 
 of various learned M.D.'s, and other humbugs, in various 
 places. My purpose is to go to teaching again in September. 
 Prospects most confoundedly slim. I am not engaged." 
 
 WiNTON, B. G. " I remained in business in Elmira till 
 January, 1884, when I returned to Addison, and in Feb- 
 ruary of that year went into business — manufacturing sash, 
 doors and blinds. I intend to continue in the same line of 
 business." 
 
 WiTHiNGTON, C, thrusts in upon us his " say, just before 
 the last horn blows." His " say" has already been said in 
 our last Record. He is still on the Engineer Corps of the 
 department of Public Parks of New York City. Bones can 
 perhaps now appreciate the reasons for the mysterious 
 changing of ways and removal of old land-marks, that had 
 their highest boom when we entered as Freshmen. " En- 
 gaged ? No." 
 
 Woodruff, J. M. " I have often thought that if this 
 were my obituary, the writer would probably use the phrase, 
 ' during his short but varied career.' My travels since 
 graduation have taken me as far West as the Bad Lands of 
 Dakota and South to Mississippi. In the Bad Lands I tried 
 
42 Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 
 
 my hand as cow boy, and brought up in Mandan, on the 
 Missouri, as a witness in a murder trial. Here I became 
 assistant editor of the Mandan Pioneer — by the way, the 
 best paper published west of the Missouri, and the fierce 
 and deadly rival of the Bismark Tribune. From Dakota I 
 came home, and have since been junior partner in the 
 house of A. G. "Woodruff & Co., in which position, by 
 making several more or less extended trips on the road, I 
 have managed to see a good deal of the country and life. 
 As for my future, I see now no reason why I should not 
 keep right on in the line I am in. It is a solemn fact that 
 
 Hundreds of

 Will love me." 
 
 Woods, D. "W., Jr. "After my middle year in the Semi- 
 nary I found myself run down, and in order to run up again 
 I crossed the sea to get a good start. I had expected to 
 remain in Europe a year, but cholera, anxious friends, com- 
 plications, &c., necessitated my sudden return. I came to 
 Princeton and re-entered for my last year in the Seminary. 
 And from my knowledge of Princeton Faculties, and my 
 experiences of the results of examinations, I think I shall 
 be able to leave here with a theological lambskin — or fleece, 
 if you choose — over my wolfish garments. 
 
 " I am neither engaged nor about to be. Nance Hallock 
 has a sermon on the 'Loneliness of Genius.' If you state 
 the premises correctly, and draw a logical conclusion, I sup- 
 pose I am a genius. But my loneliness does not imply that 
 I am sad or in despair. I am only very self-contained and 
 cautious. What are my prospects ? Big. I am about to 
 step into the ' wide, wide world,' which is gradually grow- 
 ing wider." 
 
 Yaeger, E. L. No report. 
 
 Yard, Daniel Swift, was born January 11th, 1862. He 
 received his preparation for college at the Freehold (N. J.) 
 
Triennial Record of the Class of '82. 43 
 
 Institute. From there he came to Princeton with " the Free- 
 hold crowd," of Brackett Hall fame, and graduated with us 
 in due time. Dan was never very strong, though he ap- 
 peared in robust health, and just before our commencement 
 he became seriously ill, so that he had to leave college, and 
 consequently was not present on that occasion. From this 
 time he was never perfectly well again, yet for three months 
 toward the close of 1882 he was at work in Freehold upon 
 his father's paper. He then was forced to give up everything 
 and, after a long and trying illness, he died November 20th, 
 1883, in Freehold, N. J., at the home of his father. Major 
 James S. Yard. Unto the end he was loyal to '82, sending 
 his love to all the boys when he bade his cousin Bob "good 
 bye." George Yardley Taylor, '82, and of '83 Robert S. 
 Yard and F. A. C. Perrine were present at his funeral. 
 
 Yard, R. S. " I spent four years in '83, and at the end 
 of that period tucked my dip. under my arm. The Septem- 
 ber following I joined with W. E. Russell, '83, in the book 
 business, and remained so occupied until March, 1884, when 
 I dissolved partnership and accepted a position in the ship- 
 ping and commission house of W. R. Grace & Co., N. Y. 
 City, where I have been ever since, and where I expect to 
 remain, at least, until I get a good business education. 'In 
 maiden meditation fancy free.' " 
 
 Young, F. B. " The course of my life has not been ma- 
 terially changed since June, '83. I am still giving ' Uncle 
 Sam ' the benefit of my services in the Department of State. 
 Unless something tempting and promising turns up, I'll be 
 a lawyer one of these days. I am not engaged."

 The Class met at supper at 10 P. M., G. Taylor occupying 
 the chair in the absence of the President. Members present 
 were Banister, Barrett, Campbell, Chamberlin, Chetwood, 
 Collis, Critchlow, Elmer, Emmons, Ernst, B. Harris, Linds- 
 ley. Mills, Parker, Peabody, Peebles, Pierson, Rutherfurd, 
 L. Scudder, W. Scudder, Shober, Simons, Sutphen, G. Tay- 
 lor, Wallace, Welles, Westervelt, Wheeler, Wilcox, With- 
 ington. 
 
 After supper was over and a number of toasts — so arranged 
 as to give every one an opportunity to speak — had been dis- 
 posed of, the Class was called to order. It was voted that 
 another reunion be held at the Annual Commencement of 
 1885. On motion of Peebles it was voted that all those who 
 were members of the Class for three years of the course — 
 and only those — shall be eligible for the Class cup. It was 
 moved and carried that the President appoint a committee 
 to have in charge the procuring of a cup to be presented to 
 the " Class Boy ;" the same committee also to examine into 
 and decide upon the claims of the candidates. In the dis- 
 cussions attendant upon these motions Rutherfurd waxed 
 especially eloquent. 
 
 With soul-stirring cheers, many and various, for divers 
 classes, the Class then adjourned to march around the tri- 
 angle.
