Ailman, Thompsontown, Juniata Co., Pa. Am actively engaged in the business of an ordinary Pennsylvania farmer. Have been Secretary of the Pennsylvania State Grange for the past twelve years and am still holding that position. I was elected to the Legislature in 1906. My writing has not extended beyond newspaper articles. I was married in 1894, and have four children. As to classmates my knowledge is very limited. I know that D. S. Funk is a very successful and popular physician in Harrisburg, and that J. R. Flickenger is doing good work in the cause of education as Principal of the State Normal School at Lock Haven, Pa." George A. Armour After repeated requests, couched in more or less diplomatic language, the Secretary secured from George the following lengthy sketch : "Dear Jai :— I hate pubHcity. My home address is Princeton, N. J. Was actively engaged in business life, now retired. Received degree of A.M. from Princeton. My son Norman is in the Class of '09 Princeton, and William is at St. Paul's School, Concord, N. H." A most loyal and generous son of Princeton, and one of the three immortal "Short Stops," George is never so happy as when doing something for somebody and especially for Princeton and his Class of '']']. His interest in the 'y^ Hall is inspiring and characteristic of the way he delights to do things. His son Nor- man is Captain of his Class Crew, and may be seen as stroke oar in the first crew in the photograph entitled "Carnegie Lake and Washington St. Bridge." William Clinton Armstrong "I married Miss Stella Virginia Lenher at Elmora, a suburb of Elizabeth, N. J., on December 18, 1888. We have five children. I have been superintendent of the Public Schools of the city of New Brunswick since January 1899, having the supervision of about seventy teachers and three thousand pupils. Compiled and published two volumes on Genealogy and Local History. I have for several years been the Historian of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, and I have compiled for the Society a collection of New Jersey verses relating to the Revolutionary War, a book which the Society has published under the title of "Patriotic Poems of New Jersey." I have also written a series of short sketches relating to the life and services of Major-General William Alexander, which I hope I may be able at some future day to collect and publish under the title of "Lord Stirling of New Jersey as a Soldier and as a Man." The Secretary frequently sees "Poller," and always with increasing pleas- ure. He is doing good work in New Brunswick, and is worthy of a wider field. E. A. Balloch "Can't you let a man enjoy his summer vacation? I send items as re- quested. My address is 1013 Fifteenth St., N. W., Washington, D. C. Office ad- dress same. Am in active practice as a surgeon. Am Professor of Surgery in Howard University and member of several surgical societies. Have never been guilty of any books, but have written several profes- sional articles. Degrees, A.M. and M. D. Was married June 8, 1886, to Lillian F. McGrew, at Washington, D. C- Have one child, Agnes McGrew Balloch, born May 19, 1889. Graduated from Mount Vernon Seminary and now attending George Washington Univer- sity." I trust that invitation to go "trout fishing" with you still stands open, Doc. I should enjoy the company of one whose help at all times made the Reunion so enjoyable. George G. Barnes "My home address is Elmhurst, Pa., a suburb of Scranton, where I am Pastor of the Presbyterian Church. I have written a little for religious papers. Received A.M. from Prince- ton University. Am married and have two children. Both graduated at Meshoppen High School. Hosea is with Scranton Electric Light Company. Margaret is a senior in Bloomsburg Normal School. I rejoice in seeing D. D. Jenkins occasionally, and am glad to report him a valued and useful alumnus, having filled the place this summer of Rev. Dr. Ful- lerton and Rev. Dr. Hodge, in the great First Presbyterian Church of Wilkes- barre." A. C. Bartles The Secretary has used all sorts of bait on Austin but failed to get a rise. He is still in business in New York — Fire Insurance — and occasionally the Secre- 8 J. T. AlLMAN W.C. Armstrong G. G. Barnes G. A. Armour E. A. Balloch N. Benedict tary meets him and exhorts him to a better Hfe, but the usual answer is the old familiar laugh. N. Benedict "My home address is No. 23 South McLean Ave., and office address is No. 140 Calhoun St., Memphis, Tenn. Facts regarding my life and work (especially important ones) are 'like hen teeth' — few and far between. Owing to a shortage of cash I was forced, after finishing the Sophomore year with the Class of '']'], to abandon the idea of return- ing to Princeton. In 1877 I commenced a retail hardware business in Fayette- ville, Tenn., and for twenty-five years followed this particular line of work with some measure of success. In 1903 we began a wholesale hardware business in this city under the firm name of Benedict, Warren & Davidson Co., in which busi- ness I am now engaged. Have written no books or articles, and if any positions of honor or trust have headed my way, I have never heard of the fact. Was married February 23, 1881, at Petersburg, Tenn., to Harriet E. Hall. Have one son, Harry Hall Benedict, born June 14, 189 1. At present at- tending Memphis University School. It has never been my good fortune since leaving Princeton to meet any of the Class of '']'j, except Dick Richardson of Murfreesboro, who by the way is re- garded throughout the State as an able lawyer and is fast forging to the front in his profession." Benedict thus replies to the inquiry of the Secretary : "Is courtesy a lost art ?" and proves that it is not in his case. It is a pleasure to hear from him and let him now take the next step and join us in our next Reunion and all will be forgiven. John L. Best "My address is No. 29 Pomeroy Terrace, Northampton, Mass., and care of Hampshire Gazette. Have been for several years one of the editors of the above-mentioned sheet, which same is largely active, — retired only in the sense in which the neglect to affix to the duties of the position an adequate compensation renders consid- erable retirement (from Class Reunions, etc.) more or less compulsory. Was married Sept. 10, 1890. Classmates come to this region only to enter their daughters at Smith College. The knowledge of this fact has been in my possession only since last Reunion, however, so I have had no opportunities to meet any of them. I should be very glad to see or serve in any way in my power these young women already here or those who may come later, or their parents. Boys, please remember this. The orange and black makes but a feeble flame in this part of darkest New Eng- 9 land. Pyne has provided me with some photographs of Princeton buildings, which have been gazed upon with awe and admiration here and with which I hope to do something for Old Nassau." Best delighted his classmates by attending his first Class Reunion, and so far as looks are concerned can fill the place of best man to perfection. Will look for him now at every Reunion. John Biggs "My home address is 1310 West 14th St., and my office address 913 Market St., Wilmington, Del. Am actively engaged in practicing law. On April 7, 1885, was appointed Deputy Attorney General of the State. Served in this capacity until April 4, 1887, when I was appointed Attorney General of the State, and served, in this capacity, for the constitutional term of five years. Was elected a delegate to the Constitutional Convention on Nov. 3, 1896, and made its president on Dec. i, 1896. Was Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee for several years, and at present am a member of same, and have served in various capacities as an officer of said party. Was married on Oct 31, 1891, and have three children. I seldom see any of the fellows, excepting those you know about." John wears his honors well and is one of the youngest looking men in the Class. J. W. Bowers, Jr. "Part of the delay in replying to your communications was due to my efforts to get a good photograph of myself. After several attempts I secured a counterfeit presentment, which is said to give one a fair idea of my personal ap- pearance at the age of fifty. I have mailed you a copy of this photograph. My life has flowed on in such an even and monotonous manner that I can add nothing to my previous record. My home address is still 10 N. Calhoun St., and my office address still at 16 E. Lexington St. As I spend my leisure time at the University Club, I would prefer to have my personal mail sent there. I am still pursuing the practice of law and am still one of the few remaining bachelors of the Class. I seldom see any of the fellows. Baker Johnson drops in to see me occa- sionally. He has changed very little, — is a little gray and growing stout. Tom McKoy I ran across at our last Alumni Meeting here and failed to recognize him, as he had grown so stout in the past thirty years. He is located in Baltimore, in the office of the Western Maryland Railroad, and we frequently see each other." "Joe" was present at the Class Meeting in June, '08, and helped turn the sod 10 John Biggs O. S. Brumback W. B. Bryan J. W. Bowers Jr. F, E. Brooks Wm. Burgess for the '']'] Hall — after a long absence. He promises to be a regular attendant from this time forth, and cultivate closer relations with his classmates. Joe was for eight years Secretary of the Bar Association of Baltimore, a member of the Board of Governors of the University Club and its Secretary for three years, and for same period Secretary of the Baltimore Law School and a member of the Faculty. F. E. Brooks "My home address is 6649 South Halsted St., Chicago, 111. I was married to Mrs. N. F. Lynd, June 19, 1890, and we have no children to bless our home. As my mind travels back over the thirty years of life spent since leaving the association and doings of dear Old Nassau, I am strangely and strongly im- pressed with the rapidity with which the journey and work of life are rushing on to the tragic end. There is no turning back, our lives are governed by some un- seen hand, and we toil and struggle and attain those things which were intended as our part of the world's work. To some of us come honor, fame and glory, to others come wealth and power, but we cannot look at these forces as the only factors in the world's progress. There is another class who toil and labor even in obscurity ; to them fortune and fame are unknown, but who among us would be unkind enough to say aught against them on account of their humble life. "Let not ambition mock their useful toil, Their homely joys and destiny obscure." The thought that we have done something useful and necessary, something that has added comfort and happiness to others, is a pleasant one, and affords some gratification to our minds, even though we have not attained those things and ambitions that were our constant inspiration in more youthful days. The best part of my life was spent in the service of the L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co., and I am still in that service. How long I may rem.ain in this kind of work only the future can reveal. I am satisfied that I have been engaged in a use- ful and necessary kind of employment. The usefulness of the railroad to man- kind and the nation is great and manifold, no civilized country could do without it. The traffic of railroads is the greatest business ever carried on in the annals of the world. It is the greatest factor of our time, it has changed the conditions and revolutionized the habits and aspirations of mankind. Its volume and charac- ter measure the wealth of nations and indicate the limits of man's progress. I trust this will not be the last time I shall have the opportunity to communi- cate with my fellow classmates. The memory of dear Old Nassau is always with me. I sometimes thirst after the dear and lamented past. The names and faces of the living and our buried dead often come before me as they did in the days of long ago. Let me extend to all the living of our Class my kindest regards and draw a veil of sadness over our venerated dead." II Now, Brooks, you must break your record, and come to the next Reunion. You will then be able to add to your thoughtful review of "our past," some de- lightful reflections upon "our present." Orville S. Brumback "My home residence is 1603 Madison Avenue, with law offices at Nos. 530 to 535 Nicholas Building, Toledo, Ohio. Am engaged in the active practice of the law, principally court work. Have found the law more congenial and remunerative than a political career could pos- sibly be; therefore have devoted myself to my profession and declined to run for public office since my term in the Ohio State Legislature. The result is, I have not startled the country with my work in public life, but with all due modesty can say, I have attained good standing and financial success with all the happiness I could desire. These, after all, are the highest ends attainable in this world, — and so feel I have gotten about all out of life there is in it. Was a member of the Ohio Legislature for two years. Have been Grand Consul (President) of The Sigma Chi College Fraternity, which I joined before entering Princeton. Have also been President of the Toledo Public Library and President and Director in many corporations. My Hterary work has been confined to numerous briefs and arguments in law suits — many of which involved large sums of money and most important ques- tions of law. Was married at Indianapolis, Ind., October 26, 1881, to Miss Jennie Carey, of Indianapolis. Being in every way congenial, we have lived most happily to- gether during all the intervening years, and only wish we could go all over it again. Have two daughters, viz. : — Blanche Carey, born March 4, 1885, and Lydia Ellen, born December 2, 1888. Blanche graduated at Vassar College with the degree of B.A., in June 1906, and was married to Lyman S. Spitzer, Esq., of Toledo, Ohio, Sept. 19, 1906. The happy young couple reside in Toledo, at No. 2519 Glenwood Ave. Lydia graduated in the Smead School for young ladies in Toledo, Ohio, in June 1907, and will enter "The Castle" school for young ladies at Tarrytown, New York, in September 1907, for a two years' finishing course. Living so far apart from Princeton '']'] men, I have no items of interest about the fellows except what I learn at the Reunions of the Class. In this connection, permit me to say that no ''jj man would fail to attend a "fifth year" class reunion who once attended a '']'] Reunion. The enjoyment of meeting the "Old Boys" and the inspiration derived from a visit to the modern Princeton with all its new and magnificent improvements, will repay a trip across the continent. As per request, I enclose a photograph, concerning which I think I hear you say with Shakespeare: — "Some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltness of time." To the old inquiry, "Is Saul also among our prophets?" must be added a 12 hew one — "Is Brumback also among our poets?" It would seem so, for he modestly encloses his bid for the honor of being "Class Poet," and Joe Potter better look to his laurels. THE YALE BARGAIN SALE. Written after the Princeton-Yale Baseball Game, June, 1907. Air-Bingo. We're sorry for old Yale, Yes we are ! yes we are ! We're sorry for old Yale, Yes we are! yes we are! We're sorry for old Yale, For she's gone so awful stale, That her ball team is for sale, Marked way down, down, down. But we don't want to buy, No, we don't want to buy, No, we don't want to buy, Any Yale pie. Balm of Gilead, Gilead, Balm of Gilead, Gilead, Balm of Gilead Is what New Haven needs. Oh ! won't they feel good and sore, Oh ! won't they feel good and sore, Oh ! won't they feel good and sore, When they hear the baseball score. Princeton! Princeton, Princeton, Princeton! Princeton, Princeton Princeton ! Princeton ! We hail the Champion. Orville S. Brumback '^t. W. B. Bryan "I am engaged in the newspaper business. I am one of the officers of the Columbia Historical Society, and have written a number of papers on topics con- nected with the history of the District of Columbia, which are printed in the rec- ords of the Society. Some have appeared in separate forms and also as parts of volumes issued on special occasions. An account of the form of Government of the District of Columbia was printed for use as a text book in the public schools of Washington. A bibliography of the District of Columbia, the first undertaking of the kind, was completed under my supervision. Am married and have three children. My daughter Elizabeth is a member of the Class of 1909, Smith College, Northampton, Mass. My son Brantz expects to enter the door of 1912, Princeton University." Billy is still connected with "The Evening Star" in Washington, and the Secretary always rejoices to have a chat with him whenever he visits Washington. He is the same wholesome fellow, only more so. 13 William Burgess "My home address, The Woodlands, Morris Heights, Pa.; Post Office address, Box 563, Trenton, N. J. On leaving Princeton I entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons with the intention of making surgery my profession, but on account of a post mortem wound and ill health, my plans were changed. I entered the china and pottery business with Jai Campbell, in New York City, doing business under the name of William Burgess & Company. After a short experience in this line, as importers and jobbers, we had the opportunity of purchasing the business of the International Pottery Company at Trenton, N. J., and for many years we were very pleasantly associated together in that business, separating in 1895. From the year 1879 until 1904, I was actively engaged in this concern as its president. At the beginning of 1904 my duties as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Pottery Manufacturers became so exacting that I resigned from the presidency of the International Pottery, and from that time to the present, have devoted my entire attentions to the broader interests of the pottery industry of this country. I have occupied the position of President of the State Charities Aid Asso- ciation of New Jersey ; American Consul to the great pottery center of England, under the Harrison administration; and for two terms. President of the United States Pottery Association. My writing has been confined to technical articles in relation to pottery matters and to consular reports bearing on the same general subject. My wife's name was Clara Dwight Goodman. We were married on January 7, 1879, at her home in East Orange, N. J. (Jai Campbell being a great assistance to me in dressing for that special occasion). Children: — William, Jr., born June 20, 1880, private school, New Jersey State Model School, Alford University. Clara Goodman, born Oct. 22, 1881, educated private school. New Jersey State Model School. John Stewart, born July 12, 1883, New Jersey State Model School, Lawrenceville School, Princeton University, Oberlin Theological Seminary. Elizabeth, born April 17, 1887, died Dec. 23, 1888. I know so many things in relation to the fellows, of a character unfit for publication, that I feel constrained to leave your request uncomplied with. As a single example of what I mean, there are several who have so lost their sense of morality as never to have attended a single reunion of the Class. This, of course, most of us consider the "unpardonable sin." It is to be hoped that, as they grow older, we may see indications of reform. "While there is life, there is hope," but each one of those referred to should realize that their opportunities for redeeming the past are growing fewer and fewer. I close with sincere regards and love for each of the fellows." Clarence M. Bushnell "My home address is 545 Ferry Street, West; office, Bushnell & Metcalf, 917 Chamber of Commerce, Buflfalo, N. Y. 14 C. M. BUSHNELL. F. G. Campbell. John A. Campbell. Wm. M. Butler. Frederick Campbell. C. S. Carnaghan Am very actively engaged in the practice of law for ten months of each year, remaining two months devoted mostly to golf. Have never been an applicant for political office and never shall be; writ- ings confined to law briefs. Married Harriet Day Eames, Nov. 29, 1892, of this city. Children: Edwine Bushnell, born May 10, 1895, Clarence Eames Bushnell, born Jan. 10, 1899. Carolyn Bushnell, born Feb. 10, 1901. All at present in pre- paratory schools. One of the greatest regrets of the past thirty years of my life has been that I have so seldom met any of the fellows. I have occasionally seen our Secretary, Judge Smith and Pyne, and occasionally meet other members of the Class. An extended trip through the West, and later business relations, afforded me an opportunity, two years ago, of renewing my acquaintance with Williamson. I also then for the first time in several years saw Brooks, who is still located in Chicago. My life has been a very active one, devoted too exclusively to the practice of my profession. For something over twenty years I represented the traction roads of this city and personally defended all of the suits brought against them. My health compelled me to abandon connection with Street Railway litigation in 1901, since which time I have been endeavoring to do less trial work, but have suc- ceeded only indifferently. Should fortune be kind enough to bring any of the fellows of ''j'j to this city at any time, they will find the door open to them at my home." William M. Butler "My home address is 2636 Osage St., St. Louis; office, Yeatman High School. Am actively engaged in professional life, being A-Ssistant Principal in the High School. Have assisted in editing several books on "Physics" and revised a great many others. Am married and have four daughters. My son died in 1894. My eldest daughter, Cora Leila, graduated from Wellesley College in June 1904. My daugh- ter Elsa May from Vassar in June 1905. My daughter Clara Wilhelmina, is a stu- dent in Vassar, Class of 1909. My daughter Alice Elizabeth has completed her studies in St. Louis High School and will enter Wellesley College." The Secretary is indebted to Mrs. Butler for information regarding our classmate , and she further writes : "My husband is perfectly devoted to his bicycle, which he has ridden every day (including zero weather as well as 105 degrees in the shade) in the last sev- enteen years. In the summer of 1907 his cyclometer registered 1,000 miles. A few years ago he toured New England States." Butler in sending his photograph writes : — "Princeton has hardly done her full duty toward securing students from St. Louis in recent years, and I hope for a reform in this direction." 15 . Now, Butler, come to one of your Class Reunions and you will become the Reformer and draw St. Louis boys to Princeton. Frank G. Campbell "My home address is Cherry Valley, N. Y. Am not actively engaged in any business. Have the degree of LL.B. from Columbia. Am married and have three children. Alan F. was married December, 1904, to Louise Ida Fordham of New York. They have one child, Douglas Fordham Campbell, born Jan. 18, 1906. Nothing has happened to me within the past ten years worth telling, except I am ten years older but do not feel it. Am living a quiet, happy, uneventful life at the old homestead where I was born. My two boys have grown up and gone into business in New York. All told, I have met something like five ^yy men in the past thirty years, but I am going to turn over a new leaf and look up some of the old fellows, so those with latch strings always hanging outside, beware!" Come on Frank, all the latch strings are in plain sight. Frederic Campbell "My address is 30 First Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. Pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Clinton St. and First Place, Brooklyn, N. Y., for the past eight years. Moderator of the Presbyteries of Steuben, Boston and Brooklyn, the latter twice in succession. For the past three years Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of Brooklyn. Was Vice-President and am now President of the Department of Astronomy of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. A frequent lec- turer on Astronomy, for the Brooklyn Institute, the New York City Board of Education, and independently. Frequent writer for the religious and secular press, having written the astronomical matter for the Brooklyn Eagle for seven years and a half and now writing the same for the Boys' World. Also lecture and write on music and travel. Married Miss Mary B. Knight at Auburn, N. Y., Sept. 15, 1880. Have one son, Donald Argyll Campbell, born May 8, 1884. Graduated at Brooklyn Poly- technic Preparatory School and now a senior in Cornell University." Since the above was written, Fred has resigned his pastorate. John A. Campbell "I am actively engaged in the manufacture of pottery, being President of The Trenton Potteries Co. ; also President of the Trenton Banking Co., the second oldest bank in the state. I am interested in various religious, charitable 16 and philanthropic organizations, as I believe all men should be. Hard work con- tinues to be my portion but my lot has been a happy one. Am married and have one daughter, who was married June lo, 1908, to E. S. Aitkin of Trenton, N. J. At the Reunion in June 1907, I felt like saying in the words of old Simeon, 'Now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace.' The University honored me with the degree of A.M. ; the Class presented me with a silver cup as big as a house and a salver as big as a lot, and to crown it all, the Class at the memorable Reunion feast agreed to give a dormitory to Princeton. What more could one want? I am most grateful for the confidence reposed in me by my classmates, and send affectionate greetings to one and all." C. S. Carnaghan "My home and office address, Fredericksburg, Va. At present and for past eighteen months, the firm of which I am a member, has been engaged in doing what the lumberman's wife described as "causing no trees to grow where Provi- dence has planted a lot." We are cutting timber over a fifteen-hundred-acre tract, mostly into railroad ties. Expect to finish in a couple of years and then move on to pastures new, location always indefinite. Have been lumbering for past three years, and prior to that time, for a term of years in the Republic of Mexico with a corporation, mining for silver, lead and copper. Life in the interior of old Mexico, eighty odd miles from a railway and over the Tropic of Cancer at eight thousand feet elevation, is almost ideal for health and comfort; the people are kindly and hospitable, like in Ire- land, there are no snakes; the air seems to be made over fresh every morning, and our strenuous life is reduced to the simple life, with but two days in the week, "Domingo" (Sunday) when one attends to religion in the morning and pleasure in the afternoon and evening, and "Manana" (tomorrow), when things may or may not be accomplished. Mexico is the land of promise and opportunity for young men of our country to-day, for we must own it eventually, commer- cially, if not politically. This about covers what I have been doing for past ten years. Have held no office nor written for publication. My first wife died in 1888 and on Feb. 20, 1893, I was married at Chicago, 111., to Frances A. Bray. No children and consequently no grandchildren. By intuitive perception I would know a '"jy man wherever I should meet him, but have not seen any of the Class for so long a time that I will be forced to use that method when we do meet." Carnaghan has remained in seclusion for some years, but Scott and Van- Dusen ran him down and the Secretary did the rest, and we trust when next he changes his address he will not forget his old Class in Princeton. 17 H. D. Chapin Since graduation I have been engaged in the practice of medicine, although a large part of my work is with children. I still do family practice, with the exception of surgery and obstetrics. My consulting work, however, is very largely with children. Several years ago I brought out a book entitled 'The Theory and Practice of Infant Feeding, with Notes on Development', published by Wm. Wood & Co., New York, and now in its second edition. The work treats this subject from the biological standpoint and to this extent is new. I am now engaged in writing a book on the general diseases of infants and children for the same publishers. I have taught diseases of children in the Women's Medical College of the New York Infirmary and the University of Vermont, and for the past fifteen years have been Professor of the Diseases of Children at the New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital. I am an attending physician to the New York Post Graduate, Willard Parker and Riverside Hospitals, and Consulting Physician to the Randall's Island Hospital. I have always been interested in sociological and philanthropic questions and have done some work along these lines. At present I am a Director in the New York Juvenile Asylum, the New York Post Graduate Hospital, the Plaven ReHef Fund Society, the Life Saving Benevolent Association, and President of the Working Women's Protective Union of New York. Two years ago I brought out a book entitled "Vital Questions" published by T. Y. Crowell & Co., of New York. It is a discussion of the various problems of life from the standpoint of the physician. I am probably the last member of the Class to marry. Last June I married Miss Alice Delafield at Annandale-on-Hudson." The New York Herald in interviewing our classmate regarding that paper's proposal to place a model dairy in the people's pleasure grounds, the parks of the city, refers to him in the following language: "Dr. Chapin is a recognized authority on the care and treatment of the very young. He has been so for twenty-five years and he is now in charge of the very large infants' ward in the Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital as professor of the diseases of children. The subject of milk, its production and the marketing of it has been his life study in connection with the treat- ment of children of all stations in life." Charles Sydney Clark "Your touching appeal received. I never saw or heard of the first appeal to the best of my knowledge and belief. The other Charles S. Clark, whom I see is in trouble again, possibly got my mail. Your inquiries remind me somewhat of the story of the widow who was asked how her husband was, and responded that he was dead. Being again asked a little later how her husband was, by the same person, she answered, "Still dead." i8 H. D. Chapin J. O'H. Denny C. E. Evans C. S. Clark J. S. Ely H. E. FiSK I have the same wife I had as per last report, (not being a Mormon and having no "affinities") and the same children. I have no grandchildren, although Frederic is married. I am still peddling law at the same old stand, and trying with indifferent success to collect 25 per cent of what my clients owe me. I have also been for twenty years one of these "d littery fellers," having been editor on "on the desk" in a number of great publications. I have not held or desired public office — with an assessment of twice the salary to pay to the County Committee — and my only positions of honor and trust have been those connected wiih the law and newspaperdom. About two years ago I was asked to run for Supreme Court Justice in a district in which no human being could tell how it would go next time. I declined with thanks and the nominee was elected by a majority of 7,000. Then I hired a nigger to kick me around the block. My published articles number over 1,000; too numerous to mention. No books. I have not received any degrees except from Princeton and Columbia, A.B,, A.M. and LL.B. Also, at the Reunion, the degree of A.S.S. for relying on the innocence of Armour's Best. My residence is on Fort Hill, Staten Island, P. O. address 54 Sherman Ave. My office is at 206 Broadway as before." W. T. Dawson "My record is brief, and while neither glorious nor inglorious, I fancy that I have had an average share of both good and bad. My address is 850 West End Ave., New York City. Am engaged in the practice of medicine, no books, little fame, less pay. Flave held no positions of honor or trust, except in a small way medically. Was married to Florence Eugenia Read on July 23, 1902, at New York, and have no children. Rarely see any of the fellows." James O'H. Denny Jim's letter is so like him that it is given in full. He does not change, as time deals lightly with him. He is the same dear old "Nig." "Dear John: Am awfully sorry to delay answering questions in your information circu- lar but mislaid it and forgot it. li all the boys had nothing more to report than I, your Record would be very uninteresting indeed. Perrnanent address. No. 211 4th Ave., Pittsburg. Home in spots. Am not engaged in any business. Am not married, have never been married and don't want to be. This being so, I have no information for you upon your further questions. Don't know when I have had a photo taken, but will try to scrape one up for you somewhere. Sincerely, J. O'H. D." 19 John S. Ely "My address is Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Am engaged in general business. Have held no positions of honor or trust worth mentioning. Was married to Bessie E. Shaver on Feb. 7, 1881 at Cedar Rapids, and have four children. John M. Ely, born April 23, 1884, and graduated at Princeton 1906, and is now in banking business. Mary Esther Ely, born May 7, 1888, now at Smith Col- lege. Frederick S. Ely, born June i, 1893, at home. Martha W. Ely, born Sept. 12, 1897, at home. Have no grandchildren. Cal and I keep open house for any and all classmates, but I regret to say we are very seldom honored with a call. If proper, make this an ad. in the Record." In behalf of the Class, the Secretary accepts the invitation, John. We'll be there. Charles E. Evans "I beg to submit the following brief as per enclosed inquiries. My ad- dress is, Stockbridge, Mass., where I am actively engaged in business. Am Trus- tee of Savings Bank, on School Committee and have delivered several lectures of a literary nature. Am married and have three children. As to question five, I have nothing of interest to report, as I am too far away from Princeton. My photograph flatters me, as the photographer broke his lens several times in taking my "phiz." Love to all the fellows." Automobile fellows in trouble, note, that Charlie is a Justice of the Peace. Harvey Edward Fisk "My home address is 12 East 53rd St. ; business, 35 Cedar St. Am actively engaged in banking business, a member of the firm of Fisk & Robinson. Am mar- ried and have two sons." Thus briefly does Harvey Edward record the story of his most successful and useful life. He is one of the solid substantial business men of New York, and deserves his success. His eldest boy, a fine fellow, is at Princeton and expects to occupy a room in the 'yy Dormitory next year. (1909) J. R. FHckenger "My address is Lock Haven, Pa. I am Principal of State Normal School, my work being chiefly administrations, with some teaching. Was County Supt. of Schools, Perry Co., Pa., from 1881 to 1884. Member of Penna. State Legislature 1887 to 1889; Member Colorado State Legislature 1891 to 1893. Trustee State Normal School of Colorado from 1892 to 1894. Normal School Principal, Edinboro, Pa., State Normal from 1896 to 1899. Principal Lock Haven, Pa., State Normal School from 1900 to the present. 20 President of the Penna. State Educational Association in 1902. Author of a text book on Civil Government. A.B. and A.M. from Princeton, D.Sc, Bucknell University. Was married to Miss Caroline Milligan Rice at New Bloomfield, Pa., in 1888, and have one daughter, Jean C. Flickenger, born June 17, 1893, ^^ Pueblo, Col., and is at present a member of the Middle Class of the Lock Haven State Normal School." J. H. Ford "My address is Stony Ford, N. Y. Am not actively engaged in business. Was married in London, Feb. 7, 1906. You can secure my photograph in the 'Three Short Stops' from George Armour." Thus does the Deacon come to a "short stop," and while the Secretary would like to have prolonged the interview, he has no criticism to offer. After the Reunion and his share in the glorious results, he can do as he pleases, and we are with him to a man. George W. Forsyth George writes from London. States he has no photograph, but afterwards repented and sent one. Remarks, "Don't think many of you will recognize the old man, but all the same I am much pleased that you want it. My address is No. 6 West 51st St., New York. Married Dec. i, 1884." David S. Funk "Am awfully sorry I had to trouble you to send me circular No. 2, but it is the old story, — forgot all about it. Am in the same town and in the same business as before. All the writing I have done has been of a strictly professional character and has been limited to articles only. Was married to Miss Matilda Motzer, of Mexico, Pa., Dec. 22, 1881. Our only child was born Jan. 29, 1884. He entered Princeton Sept., 1901, and graduated June, 1905. He is at present a student at law." F. P. Glass "My home address is 1030 South Hull St. and my office address care The Advertiser, Montgomery, Ala. I am actively engaged in newspaper work, as Managing Editor of The Montgomery Advertiser, and as Secretary and Treasurer of The Advertiser Co., the corporation owning that paper. I have been connected with this paper for twenty-two years, devoting the bulk of my time and thought to its upbuilding. During that period it has grown from a daily circulation of 3,000 to one of over 15,000 on week days and of 21 22,000 on Sundays. Its size has grown from eight pages on week days and twelve on Sundays to lo's, 12's and 14's on week days, and to 28's, 32's and 36's on Sundays. Its gross income has sexlupled, it has buih a four-story structure of its own, and it is generally conceded to be one of the most important papers in the Southern States. Its editorial utterances are frequently quoted by the greatest papers in the country. The Advertiser is a Democratic paper, but has always been outspoken and independent. It has never been the mouthpiece of any faction or ring. In 1896 it would not recognize the Chicago platform as genuine, historic Democracy, and bolted the Bryan ticket. In Stale matters it has constantly fought for principle and against men the policies its conscience and judgment condemned. As a result the paper is feared by evil-doers and is respected by those who differ with it. I have never sought public office, believing that office-seeking is incom- patible with the independence of a newspaper man. Nor has any public office ever been given me. I am now holding the following places of trust and responsibility : Elder in the First Presbyterian Church. Trustee of the Alabama Presbyterian College. Director Alabama Bible Society. Vice-President Montgomery Commercial Club. Trustee Carnegie Library of Montgomery. Trustee Y. M. C. A. Director Alabama Agricultural Association (State Fair). Director American Newspaper Publishers Association of New York. I have written no books, but thousands of columns of newspaper matter, mainly of editorial character. The degrees I have received are A.B. and A.M. from Princeton. My wife's maiden name was Mattie Byrd Purnell, of Selma, Alabama. We were married at Solitude, Texas, April 2, 1884. She is still living. We have six children, all living, names and dates as follows : Frank P. Glass, Jr., born January 14, 1885. He graduated at Princeton this year (1907), and is now at work as a reporter on The Advertiser. He proposes to develop himself into a newspaper man. John Purnell Glass, born July 9, 1886. He is a member of the Class of '08 at Princeton. He has spent his summers for some years in work connected with the business office of The Advertiser, and intends to keep it up after graduation at Princeton. Christine Glass, born August 14, 1888. She has been, during the past year, a student at the Woman's College and the Peabody Conservatory of Music, Baltimore, Md. Louise Glass, born October 8, 1890, who has been attending the Mont- gomery Public Schools. Evelyn Byrd Glass, born December 24, 1892, also attending the Mont- gomery Public Schools. 22 f^' ^ J. R. Flickenger G. W. Forsyth F. P. Glass J. H. Ford D. S. Funk C. G. Green Hugh Bryson Glass, born June 29, 1903. None of my children is married. . The only classmate in the South, of whom I see much, is Dick Walker, of Huntsville, Ala., whose law business brings him to the Montgomery Courts frequently. He has been on the Supreme Bench of the State, and was very strongly urged to President Roosevelt for a new Federal judgeship, created for Alabama last winter. No lawyer in the State stands higher among his profes- sional brethren in point of ability, attainments and industry, while his character is spotless in all respects. He has recently been employed by the Governor of the State as one of the counsel in the important litigation in the Federal Courts growing out of the anti-railroad legislation enacted by the Assembly this year. Dick Richardson, of Murfreesboro, Tenn., I occasionally see, and fre- quently hear of. He is a Judge on the Circuit bench and stands high as a lawyer, as a judge and as a man. Sam Johnson, of Columbus, Miss., I see now and then. The last I heard of him he was engaged looking after various important business interests of his father, who is quite an old man. Sam is still a bachelor. Another classmate I sometimes see, is Healey, of Atlanta. He has become quite a wealthy man and is closely occupied with diversified business affairs in Atlanta. A few years ago he married, and those at the recent reunion were very much surprised to see how very pretty a young woman the old rascal had succeeded in winning." G. H. Gowdy "My home address is Campbellsville, Ky. I am cashier of the Taylor National Bank. I never married." C. G. Greene "My home address is 854 First Ave., Cedar Rapids, Iowa; office address, 55 Kimball Building. My business is mostly the care and development of real estate, and is almost entirely confined to this locality. I have been placed in such positions of honor as these: Director of Commercial Club, Trustee of Coe College, Trustee and Director of the Y. M. C. A., Church Vestryman and Warden, President of Historical Society of Linn County, President of University Club, and a good many Masonic offices, both in the York and Scottish Rite. I wish especially to inform my classmates that I am Curator of the 'Princeton Alcove' in the Free Public Library here. The Princeton Club of Cedar Rapids maintains this Alcove. It occupies a prominent place in the Library. Additional room will be provided as needed. There are exhibited here such Princetoniana as can be collected. The Club's object is to thus advertise the name and achievements of Princeton. I cannot qualify under items 4, 5 and 6." Cal, you were sadly missed at last Reunion. Do not disappoint us again. 23 M. T. Hargis "If you had not been one of the best natured fellows in the world, you would have cut my acquaintance long ago, for I have not deserved your persistent kindness. I have not, however, been as neglectful as I have probably appeared to be. I did want to send you a photograph, but had none of recent date. I sat for them twice, but both attempts resulted in what seemed to me to be lamentable failures. I know I am not quite so young as I was, but I hardly am prepared yet to be the Methuselah these photographs make of me. I will try it again in a very few days and will send you something that is at any rate intended to look like me. This will have to be my contribution to the Record. I have no eventful career to tell you of. I have written no books, acquired no titles, sought no office, nor done anything very disreputable. My very best wishes for you and all the members of the old Class." Hargis is a good looker, as his photograph discloses, so he is excused for not wanting to look older than he is. There are others. Frank Hartley "My address is 6i West 49th St., New York City. Am actively engaged in surgical work. Am attending Surgeon to New York Hospital, consulting Surgeon to St. Joseph's Hospital, Paterson, N. J., Nyack Hospital, Nyack, N. Y., and to the Memorial Hospital, New York City. Clinical Professor of Surgery, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City. Have written many articles upon surgical topics. Married Mrs. C. T. Parker, nee E. A. Burton, of Boston, Mass., University Place Presbyterian Church, New York, 1899. Have one daughter-in- law, born 1882 — Grace A. Parker, St. Gabriel's School, Peekskill, N. Y. She was married in 1907 to Leander Schearer, graduate of Princeton, Class of 1897." Walter Hazard "My home address is Georgetown, S. C. ; office address, 117}^ Screven St. Am actively engaged in practice of law. Was admitted to the bar of this state in 1882, having read law in the office of Hon. Richard Dozier of Georgetown, one of the leading lawyers of South Carolina. Have practiced continuously since 1882, in both State and Federal Courts. In 1882 established weekly newspaper, Georgetown Inquirer, which I pub- lished until 1889, and then sold out, retiring from journalism on account of increasing demands of my law practice. In 1882 was elected without solicitation on my part as member of House of Representatives of S. C. Defeated for same office in 1884. ^^ 1888 again elected to the House, and re-elected in 1890. In 1892 was elected to the State Senate from Georgetown County and served until December, 1894, when I resigned on ac- count of ill health. Have held no politital office since. Served from 1887 to 1893 as Secretary of Board of Trustees of Graded School District (legal name, Winyah 24 M. T. Hargis Walter Hazard Morris Hoats Frank Hartley W. T. Healey F. W. Hughes Indigo School District) and in 1904 was elected Chairman of the Board, retiring in 1906. Prepared the legislation providing for building of a new modern school house, and superintended the plans and arrangements for an election upon an issue of school bonds. This building now in course of erection. Served as member of Vestry of Parish of Prince George Winyah, this city, for many years, and for five years as Junior Warden of the Parish. Am still a member of vestry. Was confirmed as a communicant of P. Episcopal Church about 1880. Have written no books. Two formal addresses made and published. One before the Winyah Indigo Society of this city, in 1878, on the occasion of its 143rd Anniversary banquet. One on June 28, 1907, at the Jamestown Exposition as Orator of the Day for South Carolina. Have delivered many addresses on social, political and religious topics and before schools at commencement exercises. Re- ceived A.B., Princeton 1877, and A.M., Princeton 1880. No other degrees. Have been married and have had four children, of whom two are living. Paula Elizabeth prepared for College at Winyah Graded School and by private tutors, Georgetown, S. C. Entered St. Mary's School, Raleigh, N. C. Fresh- man Class in 1906 and is now a student there. Minnie T. Hazard prepared for College at same place, and will enter St. Mary's School, Freshman Class, in Sept. 1907. Milton Rowland, died June 21, 1885. Milton Hazard, Jr., died July 25, 1902. I have seen none of the ^"jj boys since the Reunion of 1887, except Jim Denny, who paid me a flying visit in the Winter of 1905 while on a trip to Summerville, S. C, near Charleston. I greatly enjoyed having him at my home and chatting over old times with him, though he spent only a day here. Saw Frank Speir, Jai Campbell, Ingens Pyne on a pleasant trip I took to New York in 1899; went down to Princeton and spent a delightful day at Pyne's with Jai Campbell. Have heard frequently from Jai Campbell and Frank Speir, and occasionally from John Scott, Bill Libbey and Ingens Pyne." W. T. Healey "My home address is No. 89 Ivy St. ; office address, 28 Peachtree St., At- lanta, Ga. Since leaving college have been actively engaged in business as a builder, manufacturer and handler of real estate. Have erected some nice struc- tures and have been fairly successful. Most of my building has been on my own property, that is, improving central real estate for stores, hotels, etc. Have also acquired and built in an adjoining town a car line and developed a valuable mine- ral water property. Have studiously avoided both public and political life; am not suited to fill either. Have always furnished my own grindstone when I had an ax to grind, and not being able to be Everything to Everybody, I cannot be made a tool of by politicians ; also being averse to wearing any man's or set of men's collars, the politicians have not run in my crowd to any extent. Am a Deacon in the First Presbyterian Church, an office filled by my fa- ther during his life. Have written some for the magazines. 25 Was married Jan. 7, 1904, to Miss Ada Niles Moore at Atlanta, Ga. Have one son William Thomas Healey, Jr., born Nov. 9, 1904. His present occupation is turning somersaults on a large shawl spread on the floor in the study where I am trying to write, and every time he goes over he calls out, "Look, Papa." There are so few Princeton men here, or near here, I only see them very seldom. They have an Alumni Society here, but the number is so small we only exist in a social way. I see Glass of ''jj quite often, and J. C. Jenkins of '76, until his appointment as Judge of the Federal Court in the Philippines. Had a call from liilly Burgess of Trenton on his way South a short time ago." Morris Hoats "My home address is 29 South Seventh Street, my business address 610 Hamilton Street, Allentown, Pennsylvania. I am practicing law and am a director of the Merchants' National Bank and several business corporations of this city, but have not yet been able to retire from active business. Not having any taste for politics I have never been a candidate for or held any public or political office. I have received no degree except those conferred in course. My wife's maiden name was Nora Nelson,- and we were married at her home in Frederick, Maryland, on November 12, 1890." Morris regrets his inability to be at Princeton this year (1908), as "his health has not been gootl, and he is preparing for a long absence. Our best wishes go with you, Morris. F. W. Hughes "I have delayed writing trying to get the photo. Everyone that the artist presented me with made me look so much older than I thought it should, that I told her that she must try again. Finally she said this was the best that she could do, so I sent it, but wish to state that I really look about ten years younger ("so say we all of us, Frank"). I have been practicing medicine here since 1881. My work has been most agreeable to me and my success all that I could have anticipated. I am still actively engaged and will probably so continue for some time. Was married in 1863 to Miss Caroline A. Winder, of Raleigh, N. C, and we have had seven children, six of whom are living. We have only one little girl at home. My eldest daughter Octavia is married to Mr. Wm. Dunn, Jr., an attor- ney of this place. Annie died in infancy. Isaac is a Junior at Chapel Hill University of N. C. He expects to be a civil engineer and has done some work with engineer corps on the Norfolk & Southern and the S. & W. R. Roads, and also was on the Geolog- 26 J. C. Hume D. D. Jenkins E. R. Johnston M. W. Jacobus Baker Johnson W. W. Johnston ical Survey in Virginia. Mary is a student at Mary Baldwin Seminary, Staunton, Va. John Winder is a Freshman at the University of North Carohna. James and Carol are at home. I hope to have a representative at Prince- ton before the boys get through with their education ; but, up to the present have not been able to carry out that wish. I am sorry to say that I see nothing of the members of the Class. Last Spring while in Washington, I called upon Dr. Balloch and had an exceedingly pleasant visit with him. It always gives me great pleasure to meet my friend, R. A. Springs, when in New York. I had hoped and had looked forward with much pleasure to being at the Class Reunion last June, but was prevented by pro- fessional engagements." J. C. Hume "I thank you sincerely for your manifest interest and your former very pronounced courtesies to myself. I will gladly forward you a photo at once, which you can add to the Record or omit, as you think best." Hume was present for a short time at the 30th Reunion and has changed but little. Henry C. Hunt The fellows who have seen Hunt report no change from last report. He graduated at Lafayette and naturally his affections center at Easton. M. W. Jacobus "I am actively engaged in the teaching of the New Testament to the stud- ents of Hartford Theological Seminary — not, I trust, as a "profession", but as a devotion to the aims of a life work into which I came sixteen years ago, and from which I trust nothing short of the helplessness of age will take me. In 1887 I was elected Trustee of Lincoln University, at Oxford, Pa., where my parish was located. From this position I resigned in 1904, after coming into New England. In 1890 I was chosen to a place on the Board of Trustees of our Alma Mater, and am still trying to serve her interests there. In 1897-8 I was Stone Lecturer at Princeton Seminary, and since 1903 have been Dean of the Faculty of Hartford Seminary. In 1898 Lafayette College gave me the degree of D.D., which I but poorly deserved. I have written but one book and this was simply the lectures I gave at Princeton on New Testament Criticism. I was Contributing Editor-in-Charge of the New Testament Department of the Neiv International Encyclopaedia, and with the help of others am editing now a work soon to appear under the title of A Standard Bible Dictionary. On 8th January, 1896, I married Clara M. Cooley, youngest daughter of Flon. Francis B. Cooley of Hartford. 27 We have had four children, two boys and two girls. Three are still liv- ing: Maritje Kip, born May 3, 1898. Clarissa Cooley, born August 26, 1903. Melancthon Williams, III, born February i, 1907. Porter Ogden was born February 9, 1901, and died February 19, 1901." Pyne (and he knows) says Jake is one of the most valued men on the Board of Trustees. We have a great trio on the Board, Pyne, Jacobus and Thompson. We are with the Irish witness in his answer to the question, "Are you opposed to foreign corporations ?" "I am not," he replied, "I would to heaven there were more of them." D. D. Jenkins "My address is Wilkes-Barre, Pa. I am still in the ministry and love it enough to continue in it until death. I have given to the public press, "Remi- niscences of President McCosh," "The Beauty of a Sunset," "A Big Contrast," "The True and the False," "Columbia," the national song, is doing good service and is being praised. The following poems seem to have caught the public eye and touched a heart cord : "Ofifie Downs," "The Dawn of Peace," "The Star of Bethlehem," "The Voices," "The Maiden's Death," "Invitations," "Mercy's An- gel," "The Christ Is Young," "The Praying Shepherd," "The Cottage by the Lake." "Our Flag" was set to music by Prof. James Parson Price of New York, a former pupil of the famous Manuel Garcia. My last, "The Christ of Power," was set to music by Prof. J. I. Alexander, also a musician of national reputation. The splendid ovation given "the class poet" after reading the presentation poem at the banquet of our last Reunion, created a spot that will ever remain pleas- ant and green in his memory through the years to come. I was married Dec. 6, 1881, to Miss Laverne Sherwood, who died Dec. 10, 1898. We had two children, Albert S. and Harriet M. ; the former died Sept. 14, 1900, at the age of eighteen years. My daughter is at present a member of the Senior Class of Westchester State Normal, Pennsylvania. Since the Reunion, I visited at the home of our classmate. Best, of North- ampton, Mass. He is making his mark in Journalism, as editor of the "New Hampshire Gazette." Best and his "better half" are royal entertainers. I have had two pastorates, The First Presbyterian Church of Frostburg, Md., and the First Presbyterian Church of Smithville, N. Y., with fair achieve- ments in both. For some time I have made my home in Wilkes-Barre, supplying the city churches. During the last year I have filled some of the most important pulpit engagements of my life, and it is very gratifying to learn with very compli- mentary results. I regarded the last Reunion a brilliant success. Let the "Memorial Ser- vice" be a permanent feature. Plow my poor heart aches every time I receive a 28 card with a black border from our faithful Secretary. The same heart of hearts says now, "Long life — good health — great success — to every one of the fellows." No Reunion is complete without the presence of Jenkins, and long may he live to be with us and bring his song composed for the occasion. Baker Johnston Baker was found in Jersey City and sent his photograph and said, "I ex- pect to return to Chicago soon." Tommy McKoy says he is an expert Railroad Auditor, and has been living in Baltimore for some time. E. R. Johnson Self: (i) Cumberland, Maryland. (2) Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court for Allegany County. (3) None. Wife: (4) Wife is not living; she never was. Children: (5) They are in same fix. Grand: (6) Idem. Classmates: (7) Saw Tommy McKoy the other day — only one I've seen for years. P. S. — I have answered the questions just as a Deputy Clerk should, to wit: "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Of course, in my unsworn position of "old bachelor," I could say a great many things (to the la- dies) about "positions of honor and trust" that I should have occupied (but didn't), and the ladies would not pay the least attention to me, for which wise action on their part I would admire them all the more, if such a thing were pos- sible. Dear Jai : I could fill up your whole book with things that I haven't done, but your questions only touch on Sins of Commission — Ergo : I am, according to your catechism, an angel (sans wings and tail feathers). Pardon me, Jai, for talking in this serious fashion, but when a fellow feels serious, it is hard to curb the spontaneity — I am such an insignificant member of the great Class of 'yy, that I feel almost ashamed to write anything for the Record : — but, dear Jai, cut out any or all of it, if you see fit, and whatever you do is right. And, as for the others, I loved in youth — I have only this to say : And I say it simply as the truth — I love them in the same old way. "Slab" has entered the contest as Poetaster of 'yy, and his prize poem is given in full. 29 Jai Campbell dares me to write a poem ; lie thinks I can't; so, I'll just show him — Byron, Moore and our own Syd Clark Have Genius, but they lack that spark Which gives the unmistakable shine To others — for instance specially mine. "I say it who shouldn't," but if I neglect To say it, it might go unsaid — I suspect. Now and then — sometimes — I almost regret That I was "born-not-made" — and yet I know it's wrong — yes, very wrong; Remembering "life is short" not long We have to suffer and complain — And, even poets must be born again — We poets are very much like the mosquito ; (Now Jai, of course you've the right to veto Whatever I say) — Yes, we're like mosquitoes Since — what we were put here for, God only knows ! The sands have crept through our glass so fast. There are only a few more to creep — All we have to think of is the past And soon all 'tj will be asleep — It is no joke — but, fully worth the while; Let it provoke at least a little smile — We've had our day — now comes the night ; In the natural way — it's all right — all right — We're like a Hock of scattered sheep — Or herd of wild horses gone astray — Let our dream be — e'er we've fallen to sleep. We'll meet at the dawn of that other day. S. B. Johnston "There are no incidents of my life which can be of any possible interest to my classmates, so there is nothing for me to say in reply to the circulars I have received from yon.

The Secretary desires to state for the benefit of some tired pedestrians of '']'], during the Reunion that he tried Kim's auto at a most enjoyable visit at his home in Seabright and it is all right. David Laughlin The Secretary had not heard directly from Dave, and concluded that he must be ill, as always heretofore he has replied to communications promptly. Bowers, however, visited him lately and found him recovering from an attack of the grip. He preaches occasionally, but at present has no regular charge. He still resides in Baltimore. J. H. Laughlin Home address is 3817 West St., Oakland, Cal. ; office address is 911 Stockton St., San Francisco — that is, this will be the place as soon as our new Chinese church is completed, which will be about the last of October. The last Record left me at Chining-chow, China. There my wife died in May, 1899, and I brought our small daughter home to the United States. Thus I escaped the Boxer Uprising, which occurred soon after, and possibly saved my life, as the movement originated close by my China home. In 1 901 I returned to my post, because there was no one else to take it. I remained three years, then came home to the sad-hearted little daughter whom I had left behind. Meanwhile the Board of Foreign Missions, whom I had served for twenty- three years, asked me to take the superintendency of the Chinese Missions in California, and hither I gladly came, in the spring of 1904. 31 On the i8th of April, 1906, our home was shaken, with the rest of San Francisco, by the great earthquake, and two days later was consumed by the destructive fire which followed. Chinatown was entirely wiped out. We, with most of our Chinese people, fled to Oakland, on the east side of San Francisco Bay, and here have been living, and carrying on our work, since. Present indications are that San Fran- cisco will soon become the center of our operations once more. My friends would probably say that my highest honor was the election to the moderatorship of the Synod of North China, in 1903, but my own abiding conviction is that nothing more honorable has, or can, come to me than the privilege of being a missionary, and baptizing something like a thousand Chinese, as they entered the Kingdom of God on earth. No books have been produced by my hand and brain. All that I have done in that line has been in the way of articles for church magazines and papers, two or three of which have been published, by the Board, as pamphlets. No degree has been forced upon me by competing institutions of learning, though on this Pacific coast where the people give divinity titles with the same prodigality that the South confers the military kind, none of the boys of ^'j'j need fail to recognize me if they hear of 'Doctor' instead of 'Jai.' Laughlin. In April, 1904, I was married, in Princeton, New Jersey (best place on earth), to Annie May Boyd. To save the boys from the trouble of looking up former Records, I will frankly confess that this is my third marriage, which ought to be good evidence that I have been happily, as well as much, married. My Mary Hood Laughlin, whose name appears in former Records, and who was born in Tungchow, China, Dec. 14, 1882, passed into the life eternal on Decoration Day, 1901, after an operation for appendicitis. Returning to China, I left her on the 12th of April, and had hardly reached my station, ten thousand miles away, when the news came that I should see her no more on earth. My only remaining child — Lina Isabel, born in Wei-hien, China, Oct. 18, 1889 — is with me in California. She is attending the Oakland High School, preparing for a college course at Mt. Holyoke, Mass. When home on my last furlough I saw a good deal of J. R. Flickinger, and was impressed with the good work he is doing as principal of the State Normal School in Lock Haven, Pa. A good faculty of instructors and several hundred students are connected with the institution. Flick, is wielding a good influence, which is an honor to the class. R. M. Mateer manifests the same singleness of purpose and dauntless energy that he did in younger days. Thousands of Chinese know him. and feel the eflfect of his selfdenying labors among them. L. D. Wishard is selling Canada timber, wheat, and land, but not too engrossed to do a lot of good as he goes along." Frank S. Layng "My vocation in life has not been in the literary line, so here goes the answer to your conundrums briefly. 32 Holland House, New York City. Retired. None.

Frank is also an immortal "Short Stop," and did great work at the 30th Reunion Dinner, not only exhibiting great generosity, but urging others to come to the front. His longest and greatest speech was condensed in these few memorable words, "I am no speech maker, but money talks here. How much wiU you give for the '']'] Dormitory?" Brief, characteristic and pointed. F. A. Leavenworth "Home and office, 186 Lake Ave., Rochester, N. Y. I am an invalid, caused by paralysis several years ago, two shocks of it.

Edwin Manners "At this even-tide of our Class, it would seem that every member of it was too well known and established in society, church, state and other categories of life, to have a lot of statistical questions flung at him in regard to his status in the several kinds. It would be pleasanter and less egotistical if you would act as biographer-general, and write us all up, — always up, — never the other way. Personally, I presume I am just what I am. While still engaged in legal practice, I find that demands of my own affairs engross most of my attention and keep me from doing much else. I have enough serious work to do and sufficient leisure. My health is good and I hold myself well in hand with an eye on the various tangents. I am fond of horseback riding, but my pet horses are dead. I amuse myself with letters and social diversions. I look out of my window on an interesting world, with keen dehght and with a wealth of kindly feeling for everybody, good, bad and indifferent. This may be a pliable, complacent phil- osophy, but it is an agreeable one and has its advantages. It may also have its reservation for the enemy lurking in the dark — none appears in the open. I am inclined to be reticent, and reticence is such a beautiful thing and saves so much trouble. At your request I send my picture. I always retain in my heart a warm place for 'j'] and Old Nassau."

Andrew is recognized by medical authorities as one of the best surgeons in the country. He wears his honors modestly and has as warm and generous a heart as ever beat in human breast. He deserves all his success and more if possible. Since the above was written, our friend and classmate has been called home. On Nov. 28, 1908, he was thrown from his carriage in a runaway accident, and sustained injuries which resulted in his death on Dec. 2, 1908. The Princeton Alumni Weekly in its issue of Dec. 9, 1908, refers to our classmate in the following terms : THE DEATH OF DR. McCOSH '^^ In the death of Dr. Andrew James McCosh '']'], Princeton has lost one of its most distinguished and loyal graduates, and the country one of its foremost surgeons. Dr. McCosh died at the Presbyterian Hospital, New York, at ten o'clock on Wednesday night, December 2nd, five days after the runaway in which he was injured. He had been unconscious most of the time since the accident. His mother was with him constantly from the day he was , hurt till his death. Telegrams, letters, and other messages of sympathy, many of them from Europe, were received to the number of four hundred a day, and the stream of callers was incessant. Nearly two hundred physicians and surgeons and a large number of nurses volunteered their services. Dr. McCosh's old college friend, and later his colleague in New York, Dr. M. Allan Starr '76, was in constant attendance, and his classmate. Dr. Frank Hartley ^Tj, was among the numerous eminent surgeons who attended him. The funeral service was held at ten o'clock Saturday morning, December sth, at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church of New York, and was conducted by the pastor, Dr. J. Ross Stevenson, and Dr. Wilton Merle Smith 'tj. The large church was filled, about three hundred alumni of Princeton and the leading representatives of the public, business and the professional life of New York being present. Members of the Class of 'T] attended in a body and were seated opposite the family. A touching feature was the presence of a large number of persons, probably several hundred, who had been Dr. McCosh's patients, many of whom owe their lives to his remarkable surgical skill. Rarely has the death of a private citizen produced so profound a shock in New York, and the grief of the assembled audience was very manifest throughout the service. The casket was covered with a mantle of white roses, and around the pulpit were floral 37 trihiilcs in unusual profusion. As Mrs. McCosli, his aged niotlifr, t'ulfrcd, attended hy her family of children and grandchildren, llie husii of reverent silence was most affecting. The service was very simple. Two hymns were sung hy the choir, "Rock of Ages" and "Lead Kindly Light," Dr. Stevenson read selections from the Scriptures, and Dr. Smith offered prayer. At the conclusion of tlic service the family with several friends accompanied tlu' hody lo I'rinetlon, vvlicrc lln' inUrnunl was made in the President's Plot of the old cemetery, next to llie grave of Dr. McCosh's distinguished father, President James McCosh. The commitment service was conducted by the Rev. Sylvester Beach '76, pastor of the First I'rcsliyterian C'hin-ch of Princeton. Jn reviewing- his life, a deserved and beatitifnl lril)nle was wrillen by I'rof. M. y\llan Starr i)i '76, and was pnljlisheil in 'I'lie Trincelon .Alninni Weekly of Dec. 16, 1908. With Prof. Starr's consent we republish it. ANDRl'.W JAMl'S MeCOSlI '77, A.M.. M.l)., LIJ). AN AI'PRKCIATION Princeton :dmnni .and the medical profession of this country have met with a great loss ill tin- (Kalh of I )r. Me( osli, for there was no one in New York, either among the Princeton men or among the surgeons, who occupied, deservedly, a higher position. The grandson of Dr. Alexander Guthrie, for years the foremost surgeon of Rdinburgh ; and the son of President James McCosh of l^rinceton, and of his wife, Isabella Guthrie, Dr. McCosh inherited many of those sterling qualities of Scotch perseverance, stern integrity and noble ideals characteristic of his family, lie was born in Belfast, in 1858, and was brought to this country in 1868, when President McCosh took over the direction of the college. In Princeton he grew up and was prepared for college, from wliieli he graduated with honor in 1877. One of a class long since distinguished for its success, a class which has shown an umistia! class loyalty and a remarkable devotion to the interests of Princeton, a class which numbers many eminent men. Dr. McCosh was always a leader. As time went on and as the men of '77 attained their acknowledged positions in the community, the fame of Dr. McCosh as a surgeon steadily grew, until it may be said that he had become one of the foremost surgeons of the United States, respected and hcMiored throughout the world. This distinction was won by steady, persistent, untiring work in his profession. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Department of Coiuiiibia University, in iXcSo, being one of the ivn honor nun of his class of 160 members; and he completed his i)rei)aration for his work by serving a year and a half as interne in the Chambers Street Hospital in New York, and by a year of post-graduate study in Vienna. On his return, in 1HS2, he was taken into partnership by Professor T. Gaillard Thomas, then the leading gynecological surgeon of New York, with whom he worked for eleven years, until I )r. Thomas' death, lie soon became recognized as a clever young surgeon. He had ae([uiiHil the knowledge which leads to accurate diagnosis; he had the .skill which was necessary for successful operations ; and he also had those personal qualities which made his judgment s<-em reasonable to patients, and wliich conmianded their conlldence, their personal regard, and tlieir implicit faith in liis lioiusty ;nul integrity. In hSSS he was appointed an attending pliysician to the Presliyterian Hospital, and tliis position he retained up to the day of his death. This position carried great responsibility, .ind gave him gre.at oiiportunities for constant important work. Three days in the week, from two to six o'clock, he was operating continuously, on every sort of surgical disease, — meeting serious emergencies as they arose, facing grave responsiliililies ;is tiiey were presented, undertaking new and original procedures with courage ami skill, and accomplishing results of great importance, and so recognized by the surgical profession the world over. In the Prisbyttrian Hospital he luld his clinics,- -public operations with lectures and 38 H. N. Mateer E S. McCalmont A. J. McCosH R. M. Mateer W. F. MCCORKLE T. H. McKoY running comments upon the case before him, — as Professor of Clinical Surgery for the New York Polyclinic, a post-graduate school of medicine, until 1895, and from 1895 to the time of his death as Clinical Professor of the College of Physicians and Surgeons. These climes were attended by students of Columbia, and also by surgeons visiting New York from all over the world, who came to observe his methods, and to profit by his experience. As that experience grew, he began to contribute to medical and surgical literature, to publish the reports of rare and unusual cases, to give the results of his operations to his surgical confreres, and to discuss in an exhaustive manner subjects in which his conclusions were of value. From 1889 to 1908 no year passed in which he did not publish an important article in the surgical journals. Some of these articles, viz., those upon the "Surgical Treatment of Brain Tumors" and of "Epilepsy," upon "Acute Peritonitis," upon "Appendi- citis," upon "Gall-stones," upon "Spinal Surgery," and upon the "Surgical Treatment of Exophthalmic Goitre," attracted wide attention and were translated abroad into several languages. His address before the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, in Washington, 1897, and his address before the International Congress of Surgery in Brussels in 1905, both on the subject of peritonitis, won for him world-wide fame. At the time of his death he had just completed an encyclopsedic article on this subject for Keen's System of Surgery. Thus he made his own knowledge available to others and has left behind him a contribution to surgical literature of no mean value, as nearly forty important articles on surgical subjects were published by him during the past twenty years. In the New York Academy of Medicine, and in the Clinical and Practitioners' Societies, of all of which he was an active member, his papers and discussions were listened to with interest and respect. On the subjects of abdominal surgery and of brain surgery he was an authority, and in the latter field he was known as an original inventive operator, skillful and successful, in a most difficult special line of work. That his position as a leader was accepted by the members of the profession is attested by the fact that for two years he held the position of President of the New York Surgical Society. In 1904, in recognition of his attainments, Columbia University conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws, and in 1906 Princeton gave him the same degree. But aside from his professional reputation. Dr. McCosh had attained a recognized position in New York City as a man of high character, of wide sympathy, and of many social and philanthropic interests. His charity was shown in his constant willingness to give his services freely without any regard for the pecuniary returns, and the large majority of his operations were done for the poor without pay. The records of the hospitals show 1600 such operations for appendicitis alone. In a city where financial success is regarded too highly, he was known to be a man of moderate fees, and one whose first thought was the good of the sufferer, and not his own profits. In many cases known to the writer he never asked for any payment after successful operations because on learning more about his patient he found that the fee might embarrass him. It is possible that this liberality was at times abused, but he never grudged it, as he found his greatest satisfaction in the good done. And withal his extreme modesty, his unwillingness to put himself forward and his cordial appreciation of the work and merits of others, even of the young members of his house staff at the hospital, added to the devotion of his associates and friends. During the past year he made it a point to gather at his office, on one evening in every month, the younger men connected with the hospital, in order to have an informal talk and discussion of the most recent discoveries in surgery, thus coming into closer contact with the staff and with the men who had recently left the hospital service and were starting out in practice> Thus he kept in touch with the young surgeons, many of whom had been his students, or had been studying abroad under his direction. For by his personal acquaintance with the foremost surgeons of Great Britain and the Continent, kept up by his yearly summer trip abroad, he was able to send these young men to the clinics of Europe and secure their admission to many privileges not open to the crowd. The devotion of these men was shown during his illness, when the hospital was crowded by anxious inquirers, all eager to offer their services, to watch night and day by his bedside, and at his funeral, when there assembled in the church one of the largest bodies 39 of medical men ever brought together in the city. If it is the greatest reward of a surgeon to advance his science, to secure the admiration, respect and love of his associates, to win the devotion of his grateful patients, poor and rich, and to be cherished in the hearts of all who knew him, Dr. McCosh certainly received his reward.

Attended 'Baltimore Country School for Boys' last year, but is in Hagerstown High School for boys at present. It has been a great pleasure to meet our friend and classmate, James W. ' Bowers, in Baltimore, where he has a good law practice and is a generally useful man. I also had the pleasure of a visit from Baker Johnson not long ago, who looked well and was returning from the west to Maryland to engage in business. I always call up our old classmate "Slabby" Johnson when I go to Cumberland, where he still lives and helps to keep the Court Machinery greased in the capacity of Assistant to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. While there is a large number of Princeton men here and in Baltimore, these are the only members of dear old 'j'] whom it has been my pleasure to meet since leaving the Eastern shore, where our friend, Marion T. Hargis, still lives and continues to associate with him in business ex-Governor, next U. S. Senator, John Walter Smith and State Senator John P. Moore — Marion lets them work the political field while he keeps the "pot boiling" at home. I look forward with a great deal of happiness to reading the new record of those of the dear old boys who are still living. With a heart full of sincerest good feeling for all of my classmates I close this account of myself." Tommy is a welcome classmate at all reunions and dinners and contributes very much to the pleasure and hfe of the '']'] gatherings. D. B. McMurdy 1. Sodus, Wayne Co., N. Y. 2. Our home has been in Sodus, N. Y., since Jan. 2, 1908, when I began my work here as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Resided for fifteen years in New England, twelve years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Lynn, Mass., going from there to New Bedford, Mass., where I remained until called to my present pastorate. 4. Mrs. McMurdy's maiden name was Annie Laura Lester. We were married at Mannsville, Jeff. Co., N. Y., Aug. 9, 1893. We have no children. Malcolm McNeill "There is really nothing new to write about myself. I am in the same place and doing the same work I have done for nearly twenty years. I have managed to keep out of the hands of the Sheriff and thus bring disgrace on '"jy, but have not gained any great fame by any of my work. My principal growth has been below the belt. Brains seem about stationary. My chances of wife, children or grandchildren seem as remote as ever. I see very little of classmates. The only one I have seen recently was John Ely ; he paid me a short call a few days ago." 41 "Mac" should visit Princeton at Reunion time. He owes it to his classmates. Crittenden McKinley "I reside at 3817 Washington Ave., St. Louis, and my office address is 407 Granite Building. I am Vice-President of the Tyler Estate and give all my time to it. Married Miss Lucy Bent April 19, 1892, and have one son, born Dec. 6, 1893, Silas Bent McKinley, now at Phillips School." McKinley made his first visit to Princeton since he left in Senior Year. We trust for all concerned he will repeat the visit often and that the boy will matriculate in due time. Charles L. Mead "My home and address is 24 Mulberry St., Middletown, Orange Co., N. Y, Not engaged in any business since my term of Treasurer of Orange Co., except being Director of Merchants' National Bank and Trustee of Middletown Savings Bank, both here in said city. Aly wife's name was Fannie Tuthill; was married June 5, 1878, at Middle- town, Orange Co., N. Y. Have never had any children. Do not know anything of special interest in reference to any of the Class. Did not stay and graduate — have always regretted that I did not remain — so have not felt as though the Class had any special interest in me." K you want to get the truth about "interest in you", come and see your classmates at the Reunion. You will never make such a remark again. Read the history of the "Three Short Stops." W. E. Millard "1 am actively engaged in the practice of the law in New York City. I meet Charles Sydney Clark occasionally. He is well and cheerful and taking an active part in politics. Any of the boys intending to make election bets better get a tip from Charles Sydney before putting up their money. Bartles is well and as busy as ever. The sound of the fire bells always alarms him. The sudden death of Jack Halsted was a great shock to me ; he always seemed so strong and well and genial and cheerful." J. H. Moore "My home and address arc the same as when last Record was issued. I am still engaged in the practice of medicine in Bridgeton. I was married in 1900, having overcome the anti-matrimonial "vis inertia" as I termed it in my last letter for the Record. My wife's maiden name was Rona Brown of South Orange, 42 m. .'■^ « V D. B. McMURDY Crittenden McKinley W. E. Millard Malcolm McNeill C. L. Mead J. H. Moore N. J. We have no children. I have seen very Httle of the fellows, except occa- sionally a few of the Phila. crowd. We have had the pleasure of entertaining Westcott at our home during his occasional visits to Bridgeton, and through him I have managed to keep in touch with Princeton affairs during the last few years." John encloses a letter from Slemmons thanking him for a delightful book. As the Secretary had to secure the aid of Mrs. Slemmons to get facts concerning Emmet, he thinks this long letter worth recording. Slemmons writes: "The volume brought not only great joy in that you should think enough of me to want me to share your pleasure in reading it, but a flood of very tender memories of the dear days which are fast becoming for us ''j'j fellows the days of 'Auld Lang Syne.' How often I wish I were where I could see you and talk with you. I get very lonesome here for some of my own academic flesh and blood." L. S. Mott 1. Lawrence Scudder Mott, 31 Saybrook Place, Newark, N. J. 2. Actively engaged in journalistic and literary work. Have been con- nected with a number of newspapers. Founded the Trenton (N. J.) Times in 1882 and was one of the founders of the Newark (N. J.) News in 1883. Am on the staff of the New York Tribune and the New Jersey political representative of the New York Evening Mail. 3. Have written the hundreds of articles that make up a newspaper man's work. Have represented various papers during twenty-five years in the New Jersey Legislature. Have written a number of magazine stories, mostly regarding politics and legislatures. Some of them are to be published in book form in a few months. 4. My wife's maiden name was Mary B. Stitt. Were married at my father-in-law's house in New York Oct. 17, 1883. 5. Have three children, all living — Marjorie, born on June 2, 1889; Dorothy, born on Dec. 18, 1892, and Lawrence, Jr., born Aug. 6, 1900. Oldest daughter finished at Miss Townsend's private school in Newark last Summer. Second daughter at school yet. Boy will enter school next year; will graduate from Princeton in class of '21. Have been a partial invalid for some years, and have seen very little of the fellows. Attended the Class Reunion last Summer for the first time. Benjamin NicoU "My home address is Morristown, N. J. My office address is 59-61 Wall Street, New York City. Am actively engaged in the iron and steel business, my firm being run under the name of B. Nicoll & Company, operating blast furnaces, iron mines and steel plants in different parts of the country, with central offices in New York. I am a director of the following companies : Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, 43 Manchester Land Company, Mercantile National Bank of the City of New York, Rossie Iron Ore Company, St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, Vulcan Detinning Company, Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Railway, Wall and Hanover Street Realty Company, West Side Belt R.

Courtlandt Nicoll; born December 2, 1880; attended I*rinceton; occupation, lawyer. Elsie Nicoll; born April 20, 1886; attended private schools at New York, Briarclifife and Wilburton, England." W. M. Norris "I reside at 69 Alexander St., Princeton, N. J. My business that of a Consulting Chemist. Specialty, the leather trade. Married to Helen G. Johnson, Philadelphia, June 8, 1886. Have four children — William M. Norris, Jr., Jan. 14, 1889, Princeton University '10; Helen G. Norris, Feb. 23, 1891, enters Smith College Sept. '08; Alfred E. Norris, Aug. 7, 1895, Lawrenceville '12; Henry M. Norris, Feb. 17, 1898, Miss Fine's School." James D. O'Neill "Fenian" wrote in February: "We have been blocked on our road by snow for over a month. I will be compelled to go to Elkins to get a photo taken, a distance through the forest of forty-two miles." But he made the trip, sent the photograph, and upon the Secretary remarking upon the change in his appearance, wrote : "Yours in regard to photo at hand. I overlooked the fact that after thirty-one years you might have some trouble in recognizing me. There must certainly be quite a change. Well Jai, mine has not been a very eventful life. After leaving College, I was rather overpersuaded to forego Blackstone for a mercantile life. I became general superintendent of mining and shipping of coal for one of the largest firms in Pittsburg. After serving in this capacity for eleven years, I became a stockholder and director in a new company which was organized out of the old firm and incorporated under a Pennsylvania State law. At the same time I became licensed under the U. S. Government to act as master of vessels navigating all inland waters of the United States. Our company then became absorbed by the River Coal Combine of Pittsburg. I then concluded to go into the lumber fields, and have followed same for the last fifteen vears. As 44 it is a very healthy as well as pleasant occupation, I expect to stick to it for a few years yet. I have never been married. I suppose this has been partly due to the unsettled life I have led, as I have been forced to travel a great deal during the impressionable period of my life, and now as I grow older the chances seem to be very remote. Kind regards for yourself and any of the boys whom you may meet." A. T. Ormond "276 Nassau St., Princeton. Holding down the McCosh Professorship in Philosophy, which, by the way, is not fully endowed. In the last decade have sprung two books on an unsuspecting (and long-suffering) pubHc, to wit, Founda- tions of Knowledge, and Concepts of Philosophy. Have only one wife, whose maiden name was Mary Huston. Married June 25, 1884, at Appleby Manor, Pa. Have six children — John Kelso, Archie Huston, Harold Huston, Alexander Thomas, Jr., Margaret, and Roger, aged respectively and approximately, 22, 20, 19, 17, 15 and 12. John K. graduated from Princeton in '06 and is at present Teacher and Physical Director in a school in Pensacola, Fla. Archie H. is a Senior in Princeton. Harold H. and Alexander T. will enter Princeton next September. Margaret is in the High School pre- paring for college. Roger is trying to tread the labyrinths of the Grammar School. 6. Have none. No immediate prospect of patriarchal dignity. 7. Have no special information, but assume that every Seventy-Seven man is doing his duty." The Senator is a great man, mentally and physically, and a visit to Prince- ton is not complete without a chat with him. A renowned philosopher, he also aspires to be a poet, and by special request the following lines are inserted : J. A. C. When Nature would her masterpiece devise She was sore puzzled till she thought of Jai, But soon she found that in his ample size She could store every manly quality. And then to prove him favorite of heaven As he grew up she turned his jovial face To Princeton and the class of Seventy Seven, Where he has won and kept the leader's place. Till now the centre of the fellows' love He stands the all-round, wholesome, helpful man, While passing years but serve his right to prove And their endorsement stamp on Nature's plan. But he and I to such vast bulk have grown, That to converse we use the telephone. Henry Fairfield Osborn* "My wife (Lucretia Thacher Perry) and I celebrated our silver wedding September 29, 1906, after a happy quarter of a century together. On May ii, 1907, our elder daughter, Virginia, presented us with- a class grandson, who was 45 duly christened Fairfield Osborn Sanger. Our elder son, Alexander Perry Osborn, Princeton '05, is now in the second year of the Harvard Law School and is one of the editors of the Harvard Lazv Reviezv. Our second son, Henry Fairfield Osborn, is in the Junior class at Princeton (1909). Our younger daughter, Josephine, a girl of seventeen, is now completing her education in Paris. We had the sorrow of losing our third son, Gurdon Saltonstall, while an infant. Since 1877, the year of the first Rocky Mountain expedition, and 1880, when Dr. McCosh called me to a Biological Fellowship in Princeton, I have devoted my life to teaching, travel and exploration, original research, writing, and administration. I have been obliged to give a vast amount of time and energy to the last named function of administration, especially in developing the Depart- ment of Zoology at Columbia, which I was called to organize in 1891, the New York Zoological Park, of which, as chairman of the Executive Committee, I have been the head practically since 1896, and the American Museum of Natural History, as Curator, Trustee, Vice-President, and recently as President. It has been a great privilege to help along the growth and popularity of these large scientific institutions in New York and see them take finally a rank worthy of the great commercial metropolis. It happens that several well-known Prince- tonians (Messrs. John L. Cadwalader, Cleveland H. Dodge, Percy R. Pyne) have cooperated in the Museum and Park. Last year the combined attendance at the American Museum, the Zoological Park, and the Aquarium was over 4,000,000. In writing, all men feel Dr. McCosh's influence. My first book, "From the Greeks to Darwin", was dedicated to him, and the very last piece of literary work on which he was engaged was a review of this volume. Another feature of my writing has been the desire to popularize and spread science through the magazines. Two memoirs are under way for the U. S. Geological Survey series, namely, 'The Titanotheres' and 'The Sauropoda'. The former is almost complete ; the latter is still unwritten. While life at Columbia has been most delightful in association with Presi- dents Low and Butler and with a number of able and charming colleagues in the Department of Zoology, Princeton is constantly in my heart and thoughts, and I rejoice over the noble development which is following the lifelong work of that Prince of Princetonians, our classmate Pyne. Perhaps one of the greatest things our class has accomplished is that indirectly through the labors of Libbey, Scott, and myself, and our students, we have so directed the energies of the institution into the channels of zoology, comparative anatomy, palaeontology, geolog}^ and physical geography that it has at last come into the heart of that great friend of the institution, Cleveland H. Dodge '79, to secure the magnificent gift for the erection of the Hall of Biology and Geology. The class may be proud to know that 'yy men and their personal students were the originators of the lines of museum work, exploration, and research which, expanding constantly, have given Princeton a world wide prestige and have dignified these departments of study so that at last they are rewarded by being grouped together in a magnificent building. 46 Benjamin Nicoll w. m. norris h. f. osborn A.

Harry is the youngest looking man in the Class, even though he is a grandfather. His record is a most flattering one, and we are proud of his achievements. 47 M. M. Padget "My life has been uneventful, s|)ent chiefly u])on a farm in the companion- ship of wife and six little girls, and 1 feel that 1 have had more than my share of blessings, both temporal and spiritual. Have never sought any position of honor or trust. Am, however, a Director of 1^-enton Warehouse Co., Church Steward, Trustee of Trenton High School. Was married Oct. 31, 1894, to Miss Minnie C.

Henry Cooper Pitney, Junior "I am actively engaged in the practice of the law at the Bar of New Jersey. I have pursued a general practice and have argued some causes which are reported in the Law and Equity Reports of this State. Have been a consistent member of the National Republican party; have held no public or political offices worthy of mention; have been sufficiently engaged in various private trusts and services. My wife's maiden-name was Laura G. P. Wood. We were married on June 17, 1891, at Morristown. We are still living in wedded happiness. As to children or grand-children, I make no boast." George R. Van-Dusen ^'j'j has a daughter and a son, whom 1 regard with the partiality of a maternal uncle. Luther D. Wishard ''j'j, at Summit, N. J., is my nearest neighbor. When- ever I meet him, he is vigorously shaking a new rattle in some charity or ]ihilanthropy. b'rank S]icir 'yj, in his sylvan retreat near South Orange, is my next neighbor. There he is the head of a charming family. A visit to him restores or renews the philosophic calm of senior year. Jotham Potter Previous issues of the 'jj Record have contained in some detail accounts of my life and work, ilriefly, after teaching several years at Lawrcnceville, and reading law, I entered upon a commercial life, which took me for two years to Japan and the Orient as manager of the interests of The lirush Electric Co. of Cleveland. Returning to Cleveland in 1884, T settled down to a business career in electrical manufacluring, in winch I am still actively engagetl as President of The Jandus l'21ectric Company. 48 M. M. Padget JoTHAM Potter J. E. Richardson H. C. Pitney Jr. Charles Remsen Adrian Riker I am a director of several corporations, a Trustee of the Cleveland Medical College, the Cleveland School of Arts, and the University for boys. But the po- sition which I have valued most highly and which gave me the greatest enjoyment has been the Presidency of the Princeton Alumni Association of Northern Ohio, in which I served for many years. My writings have been entirely fugitive, and I am sorry to say have been mostly limited to trade catalogues and technical articles in relation to electrical manufacturing. Married Dec. 29, 1881, in Cleveland, to Helen Carey. Our first child, Cary Potter, was born Aug. 18, 1883, in Japan, and died in infancy. Mildred Day Potter, our eldest daughter, is to be graduated from Vassar College in June and will complete her education in Europe. Sheldon Cary Potter, twenty years of age, is at Princeton in the Class of 1910, taking the academic course. Helen Henrietta Potter, twelve years old, completes the roll of children. Here's to 'jy fellowship and loyalty !" Hugh Pritchard Pritchard still resides in New York City, and is preaching the gospel; at least that is the general impression. The Secretary has been unable to secure any answer to repeated letters and has concluded that "Ephraim is joined to his idols," and per force is compelled to "let him alone" — for this time. M. Taylor Pyne "My home address is "Drumthwacket," Princeton, N. J. My office address might as well be omitted, as I am not engaged in business. I studied law and practiced for twelve years and then gave it up to look after various trusts. I have been Trustee of Princeton University for the past 23 years ; Chair- man of Princeton Township for the past nine years. I have not published any- thing. I have received the following degrees: B.A., Princeton University, 1877; M.A., Princeton University, 1880; LL.B., Columbia College, 1879, Honorary L. H. D., Columbia University, 1903. I married June 2, 1880, Margaretta Stockton at St. Michael's Church, Trenton, N. J. Children: Percy Rivington Pyne H, born June 23, 1881, educated at St. Paul's School, and B.A., Princeton, 1903; Robert Stockton Pyne, May 1883, educated at Pompret School, Conn., died February, 1903; M. Taylor Pyne, Jr., born November 5, 1885, educated Pompret School, at present a Senior in Princeton University." The story of what Pyne has done for Princeton would fill several volumes. Great credit must of right be given to him by future historians of Princeton Uni- versity. He is public-spirited and displays deep interest in every movement tend- ing to the improvement of Princeton as a town. His fellow townsmen are most appreciative of him as a man and citizen. 49 Charles Remsen "I retired from the practice of medicine about fifteen years ago, and since then have been occupied in looking after the afifairs of my father's estate. Was married to LilHan L. Jones, June 9, 1886, at Grace Church, New York City. Have three children living. My son Charles died March 22, 1899. Have not seen any of the fellows except Andy McCosh and Momo Pyne occasionally." Jno. E. Richardson "I was engaged in the active practice of law at Murfreesboro from date of admission to the Bar of Tennessee to December i, 1904. There is nothing else of consequence in my "life and work" except an effort to train up in the way they should go a rather large family of children. Have sent one son to Princeton, a member of the Class of '05, and have devoted many hours in persuading other parents to do likewise. The number of students lately attending from Murfrees- boro shows that the Princeton spirit abounds in the old alumni hereabouts. I was appointed Judge of the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Tennessee by the Governor December i, 1904, to fill a vacancy; was elected to same office August, 1906, for the balance of the term expiring in 19 10. Have been City Attorney for Murfreesboro ; attorney and counsel for Rutherford County ; Revenue Com- missioner for the County ; Director in First National Bank, Murfreesboro ; Trus- tee in local school boards; Chairman of Democratic County Convention, and of Democratic State Convention, 1904; President of Local Bar Association and Vice- President of State Bar Association ; member of official board of local church con- gregation ; am President of First National Bank, but chiefly and mainly have pur- sued the uneventful life of a general practitioner of law. Have written no books, and the 'articles' produced have been in the line of briefs and a few papers before the local Bar Association. Degrees received are A.B., and A.M., Princeton ; LL.B., Cumberland University. Was married to Miss Annie Lou McLemore, at Franklin, Tenn., May 18, 1882. Have five living children: William M., '05, Princeton, aged twenty- four; Annie W.,, nineteen ; Albert S., seventeen ; Ida Lee, fourteen ; Louise, ten. The eldest prepared for College at the Webb School, Bell Buckle, Tenn., and, as already stated, graduated at Princeton in the Class of '05, where (I speak both joyfully and gratefully) he came in contact most pleasantly and profi- tably with a number of ''jy fellows, and he is now with the Crowell Publishing Co., New York City, in the advertising department of the Company's publications. The second is a graduate of Souls College, Murfreesboro. The third is himself teaching temporarily, having passed Princeton examinations in part, June, 1907, after preparation for College at the Mooney School, Murfreesboro. It is our intention that Albert shall enter Princeton next September. We have lost several children, three of them dying within eighteen months. I live very much in a state of separation from all of the fellows, and seldom have an item of interest from them except such as I gather from the Alumni Weekly and occasional visits to Princeton.

All as far as I know are too far away ever to come to see me or I them, so as to allow me to make any comments concerning them.

I have been confined lo the house for the past couple of weeks with a severe attack of the grij), which has given me plenty of time to think about old times at Princeton. You know 1 have not been taking much interest in Princeton since I left. I have been busy keeping quiet and sawing wood. When I look back over our careers at Princeton, I don't feel proud of much. You know and we all know how things were done there. Many of our classmates rose to distinction through the use of the "Shenanigag." Some, I am informed, are or have been "professors" at Princeton University ; some stood high who were frcciuent visitors at professors' houses and who were encouraged and cultivated as probable or possible annexes to the family. One little devil told me that he would always ask the old man not to call him next day, and some even did worse. I have got along all right in the world. I am not married. I am not crazy. How are you on this subject? You have become a Jerseyman and they say the morals of Jerseymen are very bad on the female cjuestion, too nuich duplicity, but I still believe you true (o'wer nit). Now will you love me again? 1 have unbosomed my whole career. I seldom see any of my old classmates, yet I live in a better land than any of them. We have better land, better living, and Gabriel is going to blow his horn right here." p. S. — Excuse this long letter; T would not have written it if I hadn't been sick." Glad to hear from William Heister. The letter has a familiar sound and no apology is needed, even if he tried one. Note the P. S. Joseph M. Roseberry "My home is in I'.clvidere, N. J., and so is my office in the practice of the profession of law, in which I am actively engaged. I am County Attorney and have been for some years. I am engaged, also, to some extent, in iron ore mining and am President of the Buckhorn Springs Water Company, and Vice-President of the New Jersey Land Reclamation and Drainage Association. I am interested in a business way, in mining, farming and timber lands, and, I must not forget to say that I am trustee in the First Presbyterian Church of P.clvidcre, N. J., and one of the officers of the Cemetery Association. I have been Chairman of the Republican County Committee and also of the Democratic County Committee. I have written many articles for papers, but not of sufficient importance to mention. 52 I was married to Mary Winter White the 15th day of August, 1891, at her home at Belvidere, N. J., and have one child, Joseph White Roseberry, born the 29th day of April, 1897. He is attending a private school, and I expect to send him to Princeton University later on. I have been busy and unable to ascertain much about my classmates, not so much as I would like to know. I had the pleasure, a week ago, of cross-examining Prof. Cornwall of Princeton University, as an expert on water analysis, and his expert opponent is Prof. Alvin Davison, professor of biology in Lafayette College. I believe he took the biological fellowship at Princeton in 1897, and is thus connected with the class of 1877. He is an able man in his department." A. E. Rowell "I would have responded to your circular sooner, but balked at the photo- graph requirement. I have not had one taken for twenty years, and would about as lief have a tooth pulled. I have just returned from my vacation and your second appeal finds me still 'unprepared.' I will try to get around to some camera fiend within a few days and send you the result. In the meantime here are answers to your questions : My home is in West Falls Church, Fairfax County, Virginia. My office address is, Board of Pension Appeals, Interior Department, Washington, D. C. Am occupying the same position as when the former Record was issued. My wife died July 7, 1900, and I have not remarried. My oldest daughter was married on Sept. 17, 1904, to Dr. Wilfred S. McCardell of Frederick, Md. The other four children are at home. My youngest girl is attending the Washington Normal School and the youngest boy is attending the Western High School, Washington, D. C. Plave one grandchild, Jean McCardell, born Oct. i, 1905." S. J. Rowland "Sam" is pastor of a successful church in Clinton, N. J., and the only fault that can be found with him is his failure to join his classmates at their Reunions. He states modestly that "the facts called for are all in the former issues of the Record. A few words to the effect that I am not altogether reprobate will do." The record of his church in the Minutes of the General Assembly are most creditable to him. W. p. Samuel "I am actively engaged filling the office of First Assistant Treasurer, City of St. Louis, Mo. Have been in above office for five and a half years and am now filling out my second term. 53 My wife's maiden name was Annie B. Wade. We were Married at St. John's I'^jjiscopal Church, St. Louis, Mo., Oct. i6, 1884, by the Rev. B. E. Reed. I lave three children : William Wade Samuel, born June, 1889. Died April, 1891.

Attending Mary Institute, St. Louis, Mo., Preparatory Department. J have not yet reached the dignity of grandfather. Recently saw McKinley, who gave me a glowing accr)unt of the i\cunion, and told me T missed the cTcnt of the century. If my boy was living, be would now be a sludcnf at i'rinceton, and 1 know he would do bis mother and falbcr credit. I received a letter from Dr. ISrdlocb just after the Reunion, expressing regret that I bad not altcnded. I realize now what I missed, but I was so very busy in Jinie that I could not iind time to pay Princeton a visit." A. R. Schanck \h)c still lives in I'rinceton and has a welcome for every ^yy man. FTe writes : "J am not actively engaged in business at ])resent, but am a member of Mercer County iioard of h'reeboldcrs, which manages the business affairs of the county. vStill remain single. I''re(|uently see my classmates living here. Relieve they are making a brilliant record for the Class." W. F. Schroeder "My home address is 225 Vesper .St.; have no office other than my residence. I am not engaged in practice of law. I conduct a farm at city limits, do maiuial labor sometimes, and for myself and others conduct a little real estate business in renting and collecling rents. I only ])rac!iccd law a few years after graduation, its re(juirements being too confining for me, and upon com])letion of a tri]) to the West coast for health in 1884, T retiu-ned to Lock' I laven and occupied myself as above stated. I have (illcd no oflicc of any kind worth mentiouing, have written no books, and have received no degrees, other than a Rachelor. I am uimiarried. Have seen none of my classmates except J.

John Scott Jr. Willis B. Skillman. S. W. Smallwood. I can hardly say that I have filled any special positions of either honor or trust. Certainly have held neither public nor political office since I resigned as Assistant City Solicitor early in 1884. Outside of my professional work, I have for about ten years j^ast been a Director of the Centennial National Bank of Philadelphia and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Polyclinic Hospital, of which Board I was President from 1901 to 1907. I found the work of the hospital occupying so much of my time that I was obliged to ask to be relieved, which the Board finally did on my |)romise to continue to hold my place as a Trustee. They gave me, however, a very kind scnd-f^ff and some engrossed resolutions, which are very pleasant to have. I was married July 17, 1884, at Chestnut Hill, Pliila.. to Mary I.anc Landis who is still spared to me. I have one son, J. F. Reynolds Scott, born 1885, who, after aitendinj"^ Preparatory School here, graduated at Mercersburg Academy and also was a year at Sedgwick Institute, Great Barrington, Mass. He entered Princeton in the class of 1908, but is now studying law in the Law School of the University of Pennsylvania. ]"or almost twenty years past Van Dusen and I have had our offices together, and, of course, I have seen more of him than any of the other fellows. It has been very pleasant to continue this old-time association, even if he and I don't lo(jk upon Princeton oi lo-day through the same s]jectacles." Jai has been of great assistance to the vSecretary in keeping him informed regarding the movements of any of the fellows. May his example be followed by others.

We have a strictly gospel clnu'ch, large in memhership and covering a large area. It nt'cds constant watching.

To this communication from the kindergartens of '82, the Secretary repHed that there would be no trouble about nerve or Dutch courage, but we could not definitely decide the question until Commencement Week, as we were not certain they were in our class. On Sunday evening, Prof. Hibben, '82, called at headquar- ters and arrangements were made for a game at 2 p. m. Monday. On Monday representatives of '82 called and concluded it was best to call the game off, as both classes had receptions to attend and we would be "warm and dusty" if we played baseball. We, however, took no chances, as like Finnegan, this might be a game of "off again and on again", and so '"jj took the field at two o'clock with Libbey as Umpire. The game was called, and no '82 men appearing, it was for- feited 9 to o. We then formed two nines and played several innings. The work of Jai Scott as pitcher, Jim Denny on first base and Charley Evans on second base was remarkable by way of contrast. At the end of the third inning all went to headquarters for repairs. RECEPTION BY PROF. AND MRS. LIBBEY On Monday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock the beautiful and commodious house of Prof, and Mrs. Libbey was thrown open to the Class and their families, and a reception tendered by host and hostess. The occasion was a most delightful one, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in attendance. Photographs were taken of the entire company, of the members of the Class present (including Prof. Brackett), and of the children of ''jy, and of the three short stops. It was an event long to be remembered. We were all proud of the 'jy families and thankful to Prof, and Mrs. Libbey for so thoughtfully and happily bringing us all tosfether. 75 The Great Thirty-Year Reunion Dinner Tl is appiopriatc at this ])()iiit in the narrative to slate that the Committee in charm" of the Kennion, I'yiie, Speir, Armoiu", Jai Scott, Lihl)ey, h'isk and ("amphcll, had considcicd the (picstion of niakini;- a i;ift to the University, and decided to make no recommen(hition at tiiis time other than that a Committee he ap])()inted to take the matter in han(k The onthnrst of j^enerosity at the (Hnner, theiefore, was sponlaneons and mai^nincenl and worthy of ^'j'^.
