C' \^^^ V. n^s LJJ4dd)4' Class Book FKESENTliD BY X/ THE VIGESIMAL RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1889 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY No. 6 I904-1909 Printed at Princeton University Press Princeton, N. J. PREFACE This little volume serves as a clearing house, through which to distribute both information as to our several pasts and tangible, if unexpressed, affection for each other. The compilation of this little volume represents a labor of love, undertaken, my classmates, because you are men with warm hearts and red blood. My regard for you is impressed on it as deeply as are the graven words on the beautiful cup you recently gave me. With some few exceptions, dear classmates, this little volume represents the "orneriest" lot of correspondents a human being ever had. Over sixteen hundred written requests were necessary to obtain reports from, or about, the one hundred aUd twenty-six living men described in the following pages. Curses for your silence, but love for you all ! The dates ascribed in this Record to various events differ from those assigned in previous Records to the same occurrences. A comparison was made of all the entries in the former Records, not only as among themselves, but also with the statements in the letters intended for insertion in the present volume. Whenever any dis- crepancy appeared, it was referred to the classmate concerned, and there was obtained from him, in specific terms, a correction of the error. Other inconsistencies were corrected, by reference to the original records of the University or to files of the Princetonian. These errors were due in no wise to our former Secretary, but entirely to a habit of many of those who answer class circulars — a habit of whose nature one may obtain an inkling from the following summary. Replies to the recent circular, when compared with the original letters of five years ago, purport to show that, in two instances, men have married their same wives on two different dates, that three other men, who, prior to July, 1904, had no children, and have had none since, now have, among them, five children; that several men have 1909 sons or daughters ; that an eldest daughter of five years ago is now become a youngest son, and that one man has recently married his son, and this, despite the fact that the son died more than ten years since. You can make all future Records the more readable and accurate, and the less delayed in publication, if each of you will meet these two simple rules : 1. At the time of a change in your address, advise the Secretary of your new address. 2. Read over, and, if necessary, correct your Record letter, when you have written or dictated it. Philip Ashton Rollins, Class Secretary. 32 Nassau Street, New York City. BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD July i, 1904 — July i, 1909 NOTE The letters in this volume were in answer to the following circular : "Please write as soon as possible and give, for publication in the Class Record, the information requested below.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD MAITLAND ALEXANDER At the recent reunion, "Mait" made "First group" in the affection and respect of his classmates. For the next five years, having been with him at headquarters will be a pleasant memory to those of us who were "back", and to be with him there at our twenty-fifth reunion will be a pleasant anticipation to all of us. Maitland, who has been since 1899, and now is. Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh, Pa., reports that he may be addressed either at the church or at his home, I^o. 902 Ridge Avenue, N. S., Pittsburgh, Pa. He tells us that on April 17, 1906, he married, at Pittsburgh, Miss Madelaine Francis Laughlin, of that city, and that, on May 21, 1908, there was born to them a son, who later died. ^) JARVIS NORRIS ATKINSON The class will insist, after reading Atkinson's letter, that, unless he attend the next reunion, the class officers destroy whatever ribs escaped the accident mentioned below. Atkinson writes : "I am still engaged in the practice of law at 76 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, which same is in the State of New Jersey. I reside at 172 Kensington Avenue, Jersey City, which is near the first hole in the mosquito belt. Our fireside is made happy and glorious by five children : Thalia Cloyd, born 1894; John, born 1896; Frank Gray, born 1899; James Cloyd, born 1902; Jarvis Norris, Jr., born 1905, named after his father, as it appears. Thank God there are no Vacant chairs' in our home. It will be my ambition to send the boys to Princeton. Princeton is bound to our family by sacred ties. Within its silent field sleep my father and brother and grandparents. I often wish I could have been graduated with the class, all of whom were fine lads. As I grow older I recall oftener and oftener the class prayer meetings and the good they did me. Parents, in selecting a college for their boys, always consider the rehgious influences of the institution. Princeton still retains the faith of its fathers. After leaving Princeton, I entered New York University and graduated with the class of 1889 with the degree of A.B. I immediately entered the University Law School and received LL.B. in 1891. While at the University I joined A. $. and $. A. $. (Law). I hope to be at the Reunion with the companion of my joys, sorrows and the children, if I am able. At present I am suffering with a broken rib obtained honorably and while walking in the paths of peace. Say! If Adam hadn't had rib trouble I suppose we all would be old bachelors. This is my belief. Love to all the class and ma,y peace and comfort be their portion forever," \ ■\ WILLIAM PATTERSON ATKINSON "Peter" is as thoroughly Princetonian as is the old cannon. He attends every reunion and he answers every communication by return mail. Since February, 1899, "Peter" has been in the faculty of the High School of Jersey City, N. J. He may be found either at the school or at his home, No. 17 Burnside Street, Upper Montclair, N. J. A son, Kenneth Biddle Atkinson, was born January 2, 1907. His living children are, therefore, two sons (the elder born Decem- ber 14, 1897) ; his only other child, a daughter, having died the day after her birth and on February 18, 1896. "Peter" adds that, since 1904, he has been "Secretary of the University Club of Hudson County, New Jersey, successively Vice- President and Member of the Executive Committee of the New Jersey High School Teachers' Association, Member of the Execu- tive Committee of the Princeton Alumni Association of Montclair and vicinity, and Chairman of its sub-committee on schools." X THOMAS LEROY AUGHINBAUGH The "Bug", who is assistant cashier of the Kaldenbaugh Bank at New Philadelphia, Ohio, writes : "Your very rigid examination list at hand. I always steered clear of midsummer 'exams', but I do not want to flunk clear out, so here goes. 1. My present business address is the same as it was in 1904, New Philadelphia, Ohio, with no prospective change. 2. My present home address is the same, and I do not anticipate any change providing my wife continues to put up with my presence. 3. I am still connected with the same banking institution as in 1904, in the capacity of Ass't Cashier. 4-5. You perhaps noticed when I was with you in 1904, that I was married. I may have forgotten to tell you, but you no doubt had a record of it, and she still lives. 6. On March 21, 1905, Elizabeth Rebecca Aughinbaugh was born. She is our only child and is at present a lively little chick. I will bring her to Princeton in 1914." ("Bug", see that you do it.) "If she had been a boy, he certainly would have entered Princeton at some future day. 7-8. None. 9. Answered in No. 6. 10. In 1906 and 1907 I was City Auditor of New Philadelphia, and would have been in 1908-9 had there not been too many that voted for the other fellow. 11-12-13. My scholastic degrees received, books and pamphlets written, and inventions patented, have been so few that I am sure this item would not interest any of my classmates. And now in conclusion I am very sorry I shall not be able to be with you at this reunion. I look back upon the reunion in 1904 as a very happy spot in my Hfe and never shall regret having met with the boys at that time. My hope is that when the great and glorious class of '89 shall have rounded out the quarter century that I may again renew those associations and lend my voice in praise of our beloved Alma Mater. Remember me to all the boys and do not forget the fact that the 'Bug' would like to be with you." >y^' ANDREW BANKS "Stumpy's" letter is as abbreviated as is his physique. Here it is : "Your second notice has just reached me and reminds me of the fact that I have been somewhat negligent in this matter. Just give me the same rating I had five years ago and you will be substantially correct. II As to the Reunion, I expect to be there. I am anxious to see the boys with whom I had so many pleasant associations during college days at old Princeton." But he was not "there". He since has pleaded unavoidable business. "Stumpy's" letter apparently means that his business and home address is Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa., where he is practicing law without a wife, and recently was, if he be not still. District Attorney of his county. , / ALFRED HAMILTON BARR "Allie", as he is known to us, but the Pastor of the principal Pres- byterian Church in Detroit, as, since 1896, he has been more for- mally known, tells us that his "present business address is the Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church, Detroit, Michigan", and that his "present home address is No. 567 Congress Street East, Detroit,, Michigan". "AlHe" also tells us that, on April 8, 1905, was born a son, Andrew Wilson Barr, who he hopes "may be some day as good a player on the Princeton Nine as was his Uncle 'Andy' Wilson '83".. "Allie's" children, accordingly, have been two sons (both living, the elder born January 28, 1902). He disclaims having occupied official positions since 1904, "unless you include occasional services in civic or church organizations", and also disavows the receipt during the last five years of any scholastic degrees or even "a narrow escape from any". He tells us that as regards his publications since 1904, "two or three sermons and a couple of lectures are the extent of my transgressions in this direction". In concluding "Allie" adds : "Don't get it into your head that '89 men lack interest in their classmates. Even if they disgorge information with the utmost reluctance and use that nice stamped envelope of yours for selfish ends, they have all got a warm spot somewhere for old Princeton. It surprises me how much we always seem to have in common when- ever we run across one another. I cannot tell you how often my mind runs back over the names of the fellows. I believe that the ties grow stronger as we grow older. The other day I was in Santa Barbara, California, and was hardly settled in my room when the bell rang and a familiar voice called JASON ROGERS BARR up from the office, 'Is this AlHe Barr '89?' It was almost worth a trip across the continent to have that hour and a half with Al McCord, talking over '89 and the days since then. When I think of Denver I think of Jim Thorpe, and so with other men scattered elsewhere over the country. I think especially just now of a de- lightful hour or two with Sill, where we met by accident last sum- mer in a Massachusetts town. What a splendid, modest, capable fellow he was ! He was looking forward then to the 20th anniver- sary. I do not believe I ever looked forward to anything with more eagerness than to this anniversary. We will all be there, 'Lengthy', every last portly, bald-headed fellow in the bunch. The absence of some faces which we shall never see on the old Campus again, will only draw into closer friendship those of us who are there." "Allie", come back in 1914. It wouldn't be a reunion if you were absent. ^ JASON ROGERS BARR k Jason Rogers Barr died at Lexington, Kentucky, August 18, 1906, and on the following day was buried in Louisville, Kentucky. Born January 5, 1868, he attended the public schools of Louisville, until prepared to enter the High School, and then commenced his three years' attendance at the private school of Prof. Jason Che- tiault. Thence he went to Princeton and spent the four years ending with June, 1889, as an undergraduate in the civil engineering department. After our graduation, he remained some months in Princeton, supervising, first, the installation of the Princeton Water Company's mains, and, later, the grading and laying out of the present athletic field of the University. He then moved to Hopkinsville, Kentucky, where, as an assistant engineer, he aided in the construction work of the Newport News and Mississippi Valley Company. Next he was employed by the Huntington Line between Memphis and Louisville and then by the Ohio Valley Railroad Company, in each instance as an assistant engineer. In 1895 he moved to Lex- ington, Kentucky, and entered the service of the Lexington and Eastern Railway Comipany, a service unbroken until his death. At first Engineer of Maintenance of Way, he was promoted in March, 13 1897, to the position of General Manager, and this position he held .when he died. Exposure during an inspection trip produced pleurisy, and after six months of illness Jase passed away. On February 20, 1895, he married Miss Elizabeth Nelson Wood, daughter of the Hon. Hunter Wood, of Hopkinsville, Ky. Their children born before Jason's death were two sons, John Watson Barr, born April 29, 1896, and Jason Rogers Barr, Jr., born February 21, 1899 (both now Hving), and one daughter, who died four days after her birth and on March 21, 1901. Despite the shortness of her stay, this little girl showed to Jason's, heart what it was to have a daughter, and from the day she left him it was his fondest hope that another daughter would come to him.. Jase lived to the very threshold of the realization of his dream,, for the day of his funeral there came into this world Elizabeth Barr. In accord with the spirit of our class meeting held at Princeton, June 14, 1909, the class secretary sent this little girl a string of gold beads bearing a gold tag which was inscribed on one side "Elizabeth Barr" and on the other "Princeton '89". With the beads went the following note : "32 Nassau Street, New York City, June 23, 1909. Dear Elizabeth: You never knew your father. We knew him, and the afifection of our college days, undiminished through seventeen years, followed him to his grave. Little girl, you cannot understand this letter now; but, in time to come, you will know its meaning. Some day, little girl, you will marry. We trust that the man to whom you give your hand will be as ready to love you, as worthy for you to love, as your father would have been, if he had lived. As a symbol of our love in the past, as a gage of our hope for the future, we send you a necklace and ask that, when you wear it, you remember why and whence it came. The Class of '89 of Princeton University (your father's class), by Philip Ashton Rollins, Class Secretary. To Miss Elizabeth Barr." 14 The class, at its meeting mentioned above, adopted the following resolution : "Be it resolved that the class of '89 hereby testifies to its deep sense of loss in the untimely death of Jason Rogers Barr. To each member of the class has come a personal grief, and to the class itself a wide breach in its ranks. Admiring Jason Barr for his ability and his strength, and loving him for his generous and kindly heart, we miss him as a companion, we long for his friendly word, and we grieve over the empty place he has left in his world and ours; but also we rejoice mightily that he lived, that for a time he was so much ours, and that in the outer world he so fulfilled the expectations of his college days, that when death claimed him it meant, not only a personal loss to personal friends, not only the departure of a tender husband and loving father, but also, and even more than these, it meant that the State had been deprived of one of its strongest and best workers, that the world had lost a man." SAMUEL McKEAN BAYARD "Mac" writes: "As requested in your communication received this very morning, I am writing you 'as soon as possible'. While my 'history' for the past five years can not prove of any general interest, yet, as the late and lamented Orris used to instruct us, 'I will endeavor to do my duty'." ("Mac" used actual Greek letters, which your secretary, in self defense, has omitted.) "To answer, or rather to give you the definite information you desire, I will run down your list of fourteen sections, giving the data as briefly as possible. 1. I have no present business address. 2. My home address is Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pa., and there is no immediate prospect of any change in it. 3. I am not now in business, but until August, 1907, was with the Penna. Rail Road. 4-5- 6. Daughter, 15 January, 1905, Philadelphia. Name, if you want it, Frances McKean Bayard. IS 7- 8. Never had any sons. 9. Two daughters living, all I ever had" (elder born May 26, 1902). ''10. None that I think come under your list. 11-13. 14. In August, 1907, I left the Penna. Rail Road and had arrangements under way, though not completed, to enter the banking business in the fall of that year, but the financial panic upset things to the 'Queen's taste', as every one knows. In January of last year Mrs. Bayard's health broke down and in March we went to England and remained abroad until October. While I hope to get to the Reunion, yet, if I am not there, it will be because I am not able to be away from home, for even such a short time, but if I am not present this year I shall look forward with the full intention of being on hand at our quarter century reunion in 1914. At present I have certain religious activities, so to speak, besides personal business matters on hand, but Mrs. Bayard's physicians may order her across the water again on short notice, hence I am not at present in active business. This is a dull and uninteresting epistle, but I look forward with pleasure to reading the doings of the rest of the class during the past five years." ^ EUGENE WALKER BELKNAP "Mose" writes a long letter expressing his individual, and not very flattering, opinion of your class secretary, to which he adds : "I have no news in particular for the Class and am still plugging away at medicine here in Syracuse. My address, both house and office, is 313 James Street, Syracuse, N. Y., with no expected change. I have had but one child, a son, born February i, 1898, and still alive. I have been for several years Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Clinical Director of Obstetrics in the Medical College of Syra- cuse University, and also Attending Obstetrician to the Hospital of the Good Shepherd and the Syracuse Free Dispensary." "Mose" acted as House Surgeon at our recent reunion. 16 EDWARD PAYSON BERRY Berry reports himself as "a village preacher" at Hoosick Falls, New York, and says that his present address is No. 130 Church Street, in that place, with no expected change. He gives us the sad news that his wife died November 5, 1905. His only child, a daughter (born February 16, 1897), died on April 21, 1897. Berry, wholly mistaken, adds : "My existence is of so ordinary a character that my 'Classmates' could only be depressed by hearing about it. I still live." The class has a memory, and what it remembers about Berry makes the class insistent that he attend the next reunion. J FREDERICK BLACK From the eel grass of the Delaware River and the shores of Hog Island, now more politely designated as "Black's Island", comes the following information, and came to our reunion the b(Wy of Fred Black himself. The class now notifies him to attend every class gathering here- after, in order that each class function may be assured of success. Black tells us that his only address is Black's Island, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, via. Station Paschall, Philadelphia, and that his business is that set forth in our Decennial Record (i. e. manag- ing his family's estate and incidentally farming). He has had one daughter (born December 3, 1889) and two sons (born respectively February 4, 1892, and August 17, 1898), all of whom are living. WILLIAM ROSCOE BONSAL "Rocky" confines himself to terse answers to the specific ques- tions asked by your secretary. Of course, he was at the reunion. "Rocky's" office and social address is Hamlet, N. C, where, under the firm name of "W. R. Bonsai & Co.", he is engaged in a general contracting and lumber business. The only change in his family, since our reunion of five years ago, has been the birth, on May 29, 1905, of a son, Warwick Potter Bonsai. "Rocky", accordingly, has had two sons (the elder born February 13, 1901) and one daughter 17 (born Nov. 8, 1902), all of whom are living. He denies having held official positions, received scholastic degrees or published any- thing since our last reunion. E. SHIRLEY BORDEN / V"^ Borden tells us that his business, as well as his social address is Media, Pennsylvania, where he is engaged in farming, and has held, or holds, the official position of "Road Supervisor". Those of the class who are familiar with the country about Philadelphia can readily picture the hardships of a tiller of the soil in that inhospit- able and forbidding region — a region so inhospitable and so forbid- ding, that a farmer frequently has to motor some distance to reach his country club. Borden's living children are one daughter (born May 29, 1893) and one son (born February — , 1896). His only other child, a daughter (born October 10, 1891), died April 2^^, 1892. /' / DAVID BOVAIRD, JR. Unlike the majority of the members of the class, David writes an actual letter. It reads as follows: "Your fourteen questions give one a fore-taste of the day of judgment. Who are you any way that you should hale us to the bar and drag from us the confession of our deficiencies and derelic- tions? Oh, well! I remember your early propensity for interro- gations, and forgive you, you can't help it. And yet when I look back over the past five years and try to find something of interest to the Class of '89, I am not a little taxed. Life has flown on very smoothly with me. Every position I occupy I have had for five years or more. My home is the same, my wife and children all the same as in 1904 ! And yet life has not been so humdrum as this record might suggest. I've gone steadily on with my work in the hospital and teaching in the Medical School, and have enjoyed it all. And when you add to these things the effort to make a living out of the practice of medicine, if you know any- thing of the subject, you will understand that I have not been idle. Speaking of that teaching reminds me just in time of one of the notable features of the recent years. Cy Pershing will undoubtedly tell you how he has at last awakened to the fact that the only appro- 18 priate calling for a gentleman and a scholar is that of medicine. So some years ago he entered the College of Physicians and Sur- geons and in due time appeared in my classes. Except that his brow had risen almost to the back of his head, he was the same old Anarchist, and I leave you to imagine what joy it must have been to instruct him in the mysteries of the healing art. I shall always cherish the smiles of kindly indulgence with which the Anarchist would regularly accompany his recitations. After seeing them I always felt that it would be unkind in me to push the question too far. Dear old Anarchist, may he find fields ripe for the harvest in Denver ! The practice of medicine never loses its attraction. As the poet once said of some other fair charmer, "Age cannot wither nor custom stale her infinite variety ! What with Christian Science, Emmanuel Movements and the normal advance of rational medicine, one has had to step lively to keep up with the procession. So you see that I have just been one of the quiet citizens of the land, doing my daily task as best I could and happy in the doing (^ it. What more could one ask?" At the foot of this letter, David adds the following more specific information : His present home and office address is No. 126 West 58th Street, New York City. This address, he has no intention of altering. There have been no changes in his family the last five years. He has had one daughter (born March 13, 1900) and one son (born June 19, 1901), both of whom are living. He was Secretary of Section IV of the International Congress on Tuberculosis at Wash- ington, D. C, in 1908. He has also written, in the last five years, the following merry little novelettes : "Portals of Entry and Sources of Infection in Tuberculosis of Children" (N. Y. State Journal of Medicine, September, 1906). "The Weights of the Viscera in Infancy and Childhood" (Arch. of Pediatrics, 1906). "Trichinosis" (Am. Jour. Med. Sc, 1906). "The Differentiation of Common Types of Protracted Fever" (Am. Jour. Med. Sc, 1909) "Meningococcus Septicemia" (Arch. Int. Med., 1909). Your secretary is credibly informed that but one person has ever 19 i had the disorder the scientific name for which is the title of David's last work, and that, when that title got tangled crosswise inside the patient, nothing could save him, and his tongue burst into ten thousand fragments. EDWARD LANDSEER BOYLE Boyle, writing on the letterhead of "Boyle & Boyle, Real Estate, 45 Byrd Building, Memphis, Tenn.", says : "I delayed answering, in the hope of finding time to amplify your statistical interrogatories with something interesting. I am engaged in the real estate business in Memphis, Tennessee, and am the nomi- nal head of a happy family consisting of my wife and five children ; one girl and four boys. We received an invitation to Mrs. Neher's reception yesterday, and I made a compact with my wife, that we would attend the very next Princeton Finals that caught us without a baby at the bottle. You can see from my boy record that I am doing my full duty to old Princeton, in a quiet, persistent sort of fashion. The Confed- erate Reunion opens to-day in Memphis, the streets are filled with the old veterans ; and while I write this, a band is playing an air that carries me back to the old elm-shaded campus as it was twenty years ago. With kindest regards to all." Get a demijohn for the baby of 19 14, and bring him to Princeton in June of that year. Prior to our fifteenth reunion, Boyle's children had been one daughter (born November 9, 1898) and two sons (born respect- ively November 30, 1900, and October 31, 1903). His later chil- dren are Charles (born April 19, 1905) and John Bayard (born January 26, 1908). WILLIAM COUGHLIN BRAISLIN "Bill's" office and house address are identical : 556 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. The Doctor writes: "My wife is living and in good health. One daughter has been born since 1904, namely, Alice Cameron Braislin, born February 18, 1906. The three children previously reported in the record, all three boys" (born respectively August 16, 1893, March 5, 1896, and January 13, 1901) "are living and in good health, as is also the little girl. Have occupied no official positions, except of a very minor sort, other than those previously reported. I still occupy my position of Aural Surgeon in Brooklyn Eye and Ear Hospital. I have published a few papers relating to my special branch of medicine since 1904." Doctor "Bill", prescribe for yourself a trip to Princeton in June, 1914. I,/ WILLIAM DANIEL BRATTON "Bill" tells us that: "There is nothing for me to report. I am still Editor of The Cecil County News, a weekly newspaper, pub- lished at Elkton, Maryland. Am unmarried and live with my sisters at Elkton. There have been no occurrences in my life the past five years of interest to the class." "Bill", there must be an event of interest to the class in June, 1914; and that will be your presence I at the reunion. DESHA BRECKINRIDGE '^ "Breck" is President of The Lexington Herald Company, which publishes "The Lexington Herald". His brief letter reads as fol- lows: "In response to the queries on the form which I have just re- ceived, my present address is Lexington, Kentucky, without any prospect of change. There has been no change in my address, family or business during the past five years." This latter means that "Breck" has had no children. "Breck", Princeton and June, 1914, must coincide, or the class will make Mrs. Breckinridge a widow. JOHN MILTON BROOKS ^ Brooks sent by return mail a letter which, though short in form, was definite and accurate. He is President of the Birmingham Building & Improvement Company, which is engaged in the busi- ness of general contractors and builders, with its office at 2109 First Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama. He gives his house address as 2920 Juniper Avenue, Birmingham, Alabama, but says : "I expect to change October first and cannot give you now any definite house address." He has had no children and adds that "nothing of interest" has happened in his life the last five years, as "I am leading the usual life of a business man with occasional intermissions for vacations". . ARTHUR AUDLEY BROWNLEE "Bum" has always been square in his actions, but he is rapidly becoming cubical in his figure. "Bum" arrived at the reunion, accompanied by a toothache of about his own size; and hence had to be excused from the writing of a letter. He has communicated, however, the statements that his present address is No. lo Wall Street, New York City, and that, the past five years, as before, he has been engaged in mining. During the forepart of the last five years, he was President of the Columbus & Hocking Coal & Iron Company and he is now President of the Tuscarora & Nevada Mines Company. He has never married. The last five years have taken "Bum" frequently to Alaska, Nevada, Hayti and other suburbs of Princeton. He is reputed to be the dearest friend the Pullman Car Company has. CHARLES K. CARPENTER Carpenter, who now is, and for many years heretofore has been, of the well-known law firm of Daly, Hoyt & Mason, at 15 William Street, New York City, writes : "Your 'second notice' comes peremptorily. You might note for the record, if you will, that I am still a lawyer, at the same address (15 William St.) and with the same firm as for these last fifteen years. My home address is Scarsdale, N. Y., where I built a house some two years ago. I strongly hoped to go to Princeton for the reunion next month, but cannot arrange to do so, unless perhaps for a few hours only." Unfortunately, business prevented his going to Princeton, even "for a few hours". No engagements must be allowed to interfere in June, 1914. /" V GEORGE HERBERT CARTER "Bert", in terse answers to the printed questions, states that his address is Huntington, Long Island, New York, where he is still ^ engaged in his practice as a physician ; that the only addition to his family in the last five years has been a daughter, born July ii, 1907; and that she, with his other daughter (born October 4, 1895) and his two sons (born respectively May 23, 1898, and February 22, 1903) still lives. WILUAM SABIN CHASE "Boogus" gives his office address as Woods' Block, and his home address as 144 East Market Street, each in Akron, Ohio. He adds the scant information that now, as before, he is a practicing physi- cian and that he has had no children. "Boogus" atoned for the brevity of his letter by appearing at the recent reunion. After this first sight of him as an alumnus, the class insists that he attend every reunion hereafter. FREDERICK JOSEPH CHURCH ^ Fred's business and home addresses are each Wailuku, Hawaii. From 1904 to 1907 he was successively Manager of the Haleiwa, Seaside, and Royal Hawaiian Hotels; and, since 1907, has been the sole agent for Hawaii of Tansan water. He has had no children. Fred's short letter concludes : "Just recovering from bad accident, falling into canon with horse and buggy on me. Otherwise would write long letter. Aloha." The whole class will fall on him, unless he appears at Princeton in June, 19 14. HENRY WORKMAN CONNER, JR. "Roger's" law office still continues at 13 Broad Street, and his home address at 43 Meeting Street, each Charleston, South Carolina. He has in all two children, one son and one daughter (twins, born July 12, 1899), both of whom are living. He disclaims having held official positions save "some political ones for conduct of elections". In conclusion he says : "I have been going ahead trying to attend to my business. My latitude is unfavorable for seeing much of my class, which is a great regret to me. I hope to get on to the reunion and help '89 23 whoop it up. It would do me a great deal of good and I am looking forward to being there. My interest in old Princeton and '89 is as keen as ever." Unfortunately, at the last moment, "Roger" was prevented from attending the reunion. ALONZO EDWARD CONOVER, JR. "Connie" writes : "As it appears from your registered letter that the matter is urgent, I hasten to answer your fourteen questions, which in my case can be given in condensed form." Then follow, in disgustingly condensed form, the statements that his office address is 51 Cham- bers Street, and his house address is no West 84th Street, each in the City of New York; that his vocation is architecture and that his only child, a son (born January 23, 1900) is still alive. ^i WILLIAM JUDSON COOK "Yup" says: "My present address is 511 Washington Street, Mariettta, Ohio, with no prospective change. This will answer for both business and social address. Have been in the natural gas business for several years furnishing gas for a few small towns in Ohio. I was married at Parker's Landing, Pa., on June 26, 1907, to Miss Ora Galbreath. There are no deaths or births to record. I assisted in patenting one device for gas wells, but it has not been of any great consequence so far, commercially. I cannot think of anything in particular that would interest the boys of '89. My work for the past ten years has been in the 'open' and I still retain my good health. Would greatly enjoy meeting '89 men who will gather in Princeton next month to celebrate twenty years of being out in the wide world. Kind regards to all the fellows." "Yup's" children have been a son (born April 16, 1889; ^i^^ April 17, 1889) s^d two other children still living, i. e. a son (born January 5, 1892) and a daughter (born May 16, 1895) — all by his first wife. 24 GEORGE LYLE CURTIS On the letterhead of "Geo. L. Curtis & Co., Wholesale Grocers, 109-111 E. Church St., Elmira, N. Y.", Curtis writes the sort of a letter the rest of the class should write, but do not. It is as follows : "This letter heading will show the nature of my business and my business address. There is no change in prospect. My home address is 357 College Avenue. We have three sons living" (the elder two born respectively March 20, 1899, and September 29, 1900). "The youngest was born July 26, '05, and his name is Lawrence Thurston. I am training the oldest for a Varsity pitcher, and I expect to see him in the box in 1922. Regret that I have nothing to say about official positions, degree, books or pamphlets or mechanical inventions. You should withdraw the insinuation in your circular that I am not interested in my classmates. It is with great pleasure that I see recorded the achievements of '89 men and a present day victory by the Princeton athletes fills me with joy. ^ I have just received a note from Halsy Sayles '98 asking the local Princeton men to meet in his law office to 'form some sort of an organization to do something for Princeton'. We feel that Elmira is not as well represented at Princeton as it might be." C^- JAMES DENNIS DENEGRE "Jim" is still paying rent for his law office in the Gilfillan Block, St. Paul, Minn., and his house address is still 307 West 6th Street in the same city. "Jim" writes : "Your formidable list of interrogatories has reached me. One- half of them are based upon the assumption that all of the class are married. It seems to me that as a lawyer you should know, if you do not, that the minority have rights that are entitled to recognition in all organizations. Several of your questions cannot be answered by a bachelor without embarrassment. I would therefore suggest that for the next record you send out two sets of questions. The nearest I have come since our last reunion to holding any official position was two and a half years ago, when I ran on the republican ticket for the legislature in the strongest democratic district in this city, and was defeated by one vote. I suppose that Bill Jenney will say that I was a traitor to democracy's cause, and 25 deserved a licking. The cause of my non-election was that one evening near the end of the campaign, as I was about to give a 'beer party' at a slum hotel, one of the ladies of a theatrical show stopping in the house, discovered the refreshments, gave the alarm, and chorus girls appeared from every quarter in all kinds of cos- tumes. By the time the thirsty voters arrived on the scene the beer was all gone, and as my time was all taken and I could not give another party in the same place, my political ambitions were doomed. My platform, however, has always been the same as when I was the executive head of the old Democratic Guard, in the fall of '88. My business and home address have not changed. I am still prac- ticing law. The experiences I have are the same as those which any lawyer meets with in his work. I am enjoying a fair measure of success, and feel very little older than when we graduated twenty years ago. I still keep more or less interested in athletics and every day enjoy a two or three mile pull in a shell on the river. I seldom see any of the '89 men out here, though I occasionally meet a classmate in Chicago or other places. Sam Thorpe, in Minneapolis, and Winton, in Duluth, are the only other members of our class in this state. I have been laying my plans for some time to be present at the reunion in June. I expect to come early and stay right through." "Jim" fulfilled his expectations, and, having come a week ahead of the reunion, hovered about the place in which it had been held, until no one could have had a suspicion that there was any reunion left. Some of the wiseacres of the class suspect that "Jim" is to be married within the next century, as, during the recent reunion, he was very anxious to organize a syndicate for the purchase of an expensive silver cup to be given to that member of the class who, at our fortieth reunion, shall have the youngest child. \ WILLIAM FREDERICK DIX Why cannot other members of the class copy the example of Dix and write a letter which may be printed verbatim in the record ? Dix writes : "In reply to your circular letter, my present home address is 177 Harrison St., East Orange, N. J., and my business address is on 26 this letterhead (Secretary's Office, The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, 32 Nassau Street, New York City). On May I, 1906, I resigned the editorship of 'Town and Country' and "became Secretary of this Company. I have one son , Tennille Dix, born November 21, 1902, and one daughter, Alison Joy Dix, born November 3, 1905." (He has had no other children.) "On May 7, 1909, I was elected Governor of the Society of Colonial Wars of the State of New Jersey, having been Registrar of the Society for several years previously. I have written the following books since 1904 : 'The Face in the Girandole', a romance of old furniture, pubHshed by Moffat, Yard and Co. in 1906, and 'The Lost Princess', a novel, same publishers in 1907. Have also contributed occasionally to the magazines, but my duties as Secretary of this company do not leave me a great amount of time or energy for other work." I HORACE WARDNER EGGLESTON M "Eg" is one of the foremost alienists of the country, but he is no alien to Princeton spirit, as he clearly showed at the reruiion. The weight of your secretary was reduced some six German pfunds, in procuring the presence of Eggleston at the reunion and the disgorgement of the letter below. But the game proved well worth the candle. Here is the letter : "While I am certain that the entire class of 1889 will be deeply interested in not reading the very prosaic account of my wander- ings since I left old Nassau they will have to blame it on you. I will tell you the sad story in skeleton, and if you care to print any of it, I shall be glad to see a copy of it. After leaving Princeton, I studied two years in a medical school, was attacked by disease and obliged to leave. Before returning I thought that I would mend my finances somewhat and went to work for the New York World as an ordinary plain reporter, which position I occupied for about two years, after which I engaged in some desultory business and graduated in medicine in 1895. Recol- lecting the much vaunted opportunities of the West I went West, at least I went a little way, namely, to Laporte, Ind., where I took up the practice of medicine in a Sanitarium. Sanitarium very kindly failed ? few months after this, and I returned to New York 27 City, where I commenced the practice of medicine in Harlem. This I followed but a few months, at the end of which time some man or body of men tempted me to enter the service of the State hos- pitals. An examination was needed which through some fortunate accident I passed. It gave me a position as Medical Interne at Binghamton State Hospital, Binghamton, N. Y. I was at that time- the last man on the staff, but chance has been such that I succeeded, seven years after this time (1896), in being made first assistant physician to this hospital. On September 8, 1904, I married Miss Mable E. Dunn, of Bing- hampton, N. Y. George Dunn Eggleston, born August 2, 1905, is not quite ready for college yet, but when he is ready will be a Princeton man. A natural inclination toward mechanics led me so far to forget myself as to patent a fire extinguisher, which I did two years since.. I never had such a time in my life as I did at the reunion. I will' come again if you will let me know when." The next "when" will be June, 1914, and the "when" will last from Friday until Wednesday. If Eggleston does not come back to the next "when", the class must procure his incarceration in hiy own asylum. ^ JOHN SEYMOUR EMANS "Emmie", who is an unmarried physician and childless surgeon, lives and has his office at 78 Irving Place, New York City. This bachelor modestly says that his publications the last five years have been "none worth mentioning". He continues that he has been, and is. Instructor in Medicine and Assistant Attending Physician at the New York Post Graduate Hospital. "My chief interest has been in the practice of my profession, in seven clubs and societies of which I am a member, and my annual trip either to Europe or in this country ; or camping, canoeing and fishing either in Newfound- land or Canada." H. WARD FORD -4 "Fordie," the last five years, has continued with the Windsor Trust Company, of which he is now a Vice-President and a Director. His present business address is in care of that company at No. 65 28 A Cedar Street, New York City, while his home address is Morris- town, New Jersey. He tells us that he has had, and fortunately still has, two daugh- ters (born respectively March 8, 1892, and December 20, 1895) and one son (born November 28, 1893), and adds: "I regret that there is nothing interesting to report, as I am still plodding along in the old way." When he reported his presence at our reunion, it was interesting. LLEWELLYN STOVER FULMER Fulmer, who is Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Montclair, New Jersey, restricts his letter to the following: "Present address, 53 Church Street, Montclair, N. J. My busi- ness is still the ministry. My two sons living" (born respectively August 5, 1894, and December 24, 1897). "Received degree of D.D. from Wooster University June, 1906." Fulmer will receive the degree of Dead Divine, unless he attends our twenty-fifth reunion. SIDNEY DALE FURST "Sid" writes : "My present business address is Lock Haven, Pa., with no prospective change. My home address the same. I am still a lawyer and expect so to continue to the end of the chapter. I was married August 12, 1903, and have two sons, the first one born September 5, 1904, and the second born April 26, 1909. The whole family is in the best of health. We have lost no children and have the aforesaid two sons now living. I have occupied no official positions, except such as have pre- sented themselves in the line of my profession, and none of which are of autobiographical importance. As heretofore the only books I have written are paper books for the higher Courts, but all of which, I am pleased to report, by their results have justified the effort expended upon them. The one great fact of my life is that I am a very happy man and in the enjoyment of many blessings. If I can regulate my adjournments to my own satisfaction, I shall certainly have the pleasure of seeing you in June at old Nassau." "Sid" fortunately regulated his adjournments to the satisfaction 29 of the class, as well as to his own, for he was able to see the reunion commence, continue, and end. \\ WILLIAM JAMES GEORGE "Henry" George needs to have a doctor give him a large dose of self-appreciation. He says : "You know one does not take kindly to writing about himself, especially some do not. I am still doing what I can to unfold the minds and hearts of some of the boys at Lawrenceville. My present address is Lawrenceville, N. J. I have received no degrees, written no books nor patented any airship." On June 19, 1907, "Henry" was married at Lawrenceville to Miss Esther M. Baker, of York, England. "Henry" modestly states that he is doing what he can to unfold the minds and hearts of some of the boys at Lawrenceville. Gradu- ates of that school, since "Henry" went there, bear testimony to the fact that "Henry's" efforts have been eminently successful, and that his word "some" should be changed to "many". GEORGE ELLIOTT GILLESPIE H Gillespie had written a more condensed letter, it would have been invisible. His address is still Coatesville, Pa., where he is Pastor of the Coatesville Presbyterian Church. His son John Runyon Gillespie, who was born June 20, 1898, died ^pril 3, 1909. /His two daughters (born respectively July 10, 1894^' and January 5, 1903), and his son, George E. Gillespie,V Jr. (born December 5, 1906), still live. Since 1904 Gillespie has been a member of the School Board of Coatesville. WILLIAM FLEMING GILLILAND One of the pleasantest features of the recent reunion was the presence of Gilliland, who, like "Boogus" Chase, had suffered twenty years at hard labor, without meanwhile seeing Princeton. GilHland's address is Gettysburg, Pa., where "I am still engaged in farming with slight prospects of a change". Gilliland has had two sons (born respectively October 10, 1897, and May 2, 1900) and two daughters (born respectively April 8, 1892, and Nov. 12, 1893), 30 all of whom are living. He says that the official positions held by him "have been of no importance", and concludes: "Still have an interest in Princeton." / THEODORE GRANGER GORDON "The", whom Predestination has determined shall attend our next reunion, gives us, meanwhile, the following interesting letter: "For the past several months, I have been trying to arrange my business matters in such shape as to make it possible for me to be with you at the 'BIG DOINGS' at Princeton this month, but affairs have not turned out as expected, so am to be deprived the pleasure of being at the reunion. In regard to information for 'Class Record', will say that my present business address is Wilcox Building, Los Angeles, Cal., and my home address, North Los Robles Ave., Pasadena, Cal. I am still associated with my brother in the Mining Business, under the firm name of Gordon & Company. I have not, as yet, joined the ranks of the Benedic'^s, and have absolutely no prospects along this line. As to your questions lo to 13 inclusive, will say, 'Nothing doing'. I sincerely regret that I cannot send along some news that might be of interest to the boys, but my life for the past five years has been practically free from any of those experiences and exciting incidents that go towards making 'newsy stuff'. I have been hard at it trying to do my share towards developing some mining prop- erties located in Nevada and California, and while I have met with a fair measure of success, am still quite a distance from 'Easy Street'. We have a good bunch of Princeton men in this section of the country, and the Princeton Club of Southern California is doing good work in keeping up the Princeton spirit. I am at the present time Vice-President of this organization." / MALBONE WATSON GRAHAM For a number of years past, Malbone has been wandering over the face of the earth ; but, unfortunately, his travels did not bring him to Princeton at the time of our recent reunion. He, however, writes : 31 "i. My present business address is Dubuque, Iowa. 2. My present home address is the same as the business address, and both are subject to change without notice. But mail sent to me at Dubuque will always reach me. 3. I am still a minister, tho no longer a foreign missionary. From November, 1904, to June, 1905, I was stated supply of the Second (or Northern) Presbyterian Church of Jonesboro, Tenn. From November, 1905, to April, 1908, I was pastor of the mission church at Barranquilla, Colombia, South America. During the year following I resided' at Ocean Grove, N. J. In May of the present year I removed with my family to Dubuque. Questions 4, 5, 6 and 7 need no answer. 8. I have one son living, to-wit, Malbone, Jr. 9. My only daughter is an adopted one, a little Spanish Amer- ican from Bogota. 10. None other than those mentioned. 11. In June, 1906, I received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Lenox College, Iowa. 12 and 13. None. 14. After being something of a wanderer on the face of the earth during the last five years, I expect to settle down in some more permanent abode in this country. The question of an educa- tion for our boy led us to give up the missionary work. As my first period of missionary service in Colombia was confined almost exclusively to school work, I was glad to be assigned to evangelistic work. I went to a church that was 'ready to perish' of neglect. I reorganized it and got it on its feet. With a session of native elders and a new enthusiasm infused into the membership, the church surpassed all previous records in Colombia for aggressive work. The impulse given it has not died out, and the church gives promise of permanent usefulness. A gratifying experience in con- nection with the Presbyterian Church at Asbury Park has put me in touch with the conditions of church life in this country." NORMAN GREY Norman, who was prevented from attending the reunion by the death of a relative, writes as follows: "In reply to your fourteen questions, I inform you as follows: 32 ^ 1. 104 Market Street, Camden, New Jersey. No prospective change. 2. 125 Evergreen Avenue, Woodbury, New Jersey. No antici- pated change. 3. My business now, and since June, 1904, is and has been the practice of the law. 4. I am thankful to say no answer need be given to this horrible question. 5. I am innocent of bigamy. 6. None. / 7. Same answer as No. 4. / 8. No son living." (Norman's only son, born April 17, 1897, died February 19, 1902). / "g. Three daughters" (born respectively January 12, 1896, Aug- ust 28, 1900, and October 8, 1903). "10. In 1906 I was elected President of the West Jersey Trust Company, and have been annually elected since. 11. Nit. * 12. Numerous briefs; good, bad and indifferent, but I suppose they are not books or pamphlets. 13. No patents. 14. Should I really state other facts, which for the past five years are of interest to me, and if you published my answer, the class record would look like Webster's unabridged. I have been enjoying health and happiness, more than I deserve, so let it go at that." ALEXANDER READING GULICK "The Governor" has been and gone and done it. "The Governor", who, as this book goes to press, is a married man, is President of the Princeton Club of New York, and is probably very seasick on his way to Europe, gives us the following brief on the facts : "Replying to your circular I give you information as follows : 1. 165 Broadway, Borough of Manhattan, New York City. No prospective change of address. 2. The 'Lorraine', 2 East 45th Street, New York City. No anticipated change of address. 3. Practicing law. No prospective change. 4. 33 / 5- Married April 29, 1909, in Pittsburgh, Pa., to Miss Annie Larimer Rhodes. 6-9- ■ 10. No official position, unless you regard Chairman of the House Committee, Vice-President and President of the Princeton Club of New York as such, all of which I successively have been since June, 1904. 11-13. None. 14. The only facts of interest are those recorded above, except that I have the privilege of acting as attorney for Mr. Andrew Carnegie and the Committee appointed for the construction of Lake Carnegie. I had general charge of the work, am still con- nected with it, and am Secretary of Lake Carnegie Association." v\ \\ GEORGE LOUIS HALL "Pardy's" letter is on orange paper, and bears, at the top, in black letters, the title, "The National Railway Materials Company". The text of the letter is : "Your circular just received and noted. My business address is 90 West Street and my home, the Marie Antoinette Hotel, 66th St. and Broadway, New York City. I am in the railroad supply business and have been since 1898. On November 28, 1908, I married Miss Florence C. Walker in Pittsburgh, Pa. In the past five years as far as I recall nothing of particular moment has occurred that would be interesting to my classmates. I look forward to our meeting next June with a great deal of pleasure, and sincerely trust that all the members of the class of '89 will be present, and that we may all enjoy the reunion." "Pardy" participated in the most enjoyable reunion the class has had. ALBERT HALSTEAD "The people of the United States of America, by the Grace of God, Free and Independent are, as regards Birmingham, England, Albert Halstead. His consular invoice is : "i. My present business is The Consulate of the United States of America, Newton Chambers, 43, Cannon Street, Birmingham, Eng- land. If you can tell whether there is to be any prospective change 34 in my address, you are more of a seer than I supposed. I can never tell at what moment I may be kicked upstairs, and of course there is always the possibility that the Government may think my use- fulness so great that I create too high a standard for the Consular Service. Then again, if the end of my life here should be soon, and that would be a prospective change of address, how on earth can I tell what the future address will be? There might be some more peace of mind if I had a tip on that point. 2. My present home address is 67, Wellington Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, England. I am not anticipating any immediate change in that address as I have just moved into the house and the idea of moving again makes my hair turn even grayer. 3. I am at present Consul of the United States of America, Bir- mingham, England. If I should endeavor to tell you the nature of my business it would take me too long, but one of the duties which is not officially scheduled is to help out stranded Americans. Other duties can be easily learned by reference to the Consular Regula- tions. I was appointed Consul April 3, 1906, confirmed the next day and assumed charge of the Consulate on June 15th. Up to the time of my passing the examination for the Consular Service with a better grade than any I ever obtained at Princeton, I was engaged in helping uphold the pillars of the Government at Washington and in telling through several newspapers as much of the truth as it was desirable in public interest to disclose. At the same time I wrote a number of articles for magazines and weekly newspapers, that helped to keep the wolf from the door and they were much easier to produce than many of the learned essays I inflicted on Dean Murray when at Princeton. 4. Fortunately I was married before June, 1904, and more fortu- nately I am not compelled to answer the remainder of the question. 5. The answer to this question was included in my report for 1904. 6. No children born since June, 1904. 7. No children have died since that date. 8. I have one son" (born Oct. 28, 1897) "whose chief ambition seems to be to grow out of his clothes and to exceed my height and weight at the same age. 9. I have two daughters born before 1904" (on Aug. 24, 1899, and September 11, 1902, respectively). 35 "lo. The only official position I have occupied since 1904 is that of Consul. 11. Unfortunately for them the great universities of the world have conferred no degree upon me. 12. I have written since June, 1904, enough to fill many volumes, and while I have not subtracted from the sum of human knowledge I have had too little appreciation of my own views to print them in book form, a modesty that may seem surprising to those who knew me at Princeton and which may be explained by them on the ground that I did not care to hire a storage warehouse for unpub- lished volumes, or to have to make up for the deficit in a publisher's account. 13. In reply to this hoodoo number, I will state that while those who do not know the newspaper business might regard that as one in which there were many inventions, I have patented no mechani- cal inventions or processes and have no temptations to do so when I appreciate how such plutocrats as you and some of the other mem- bers of the class profit while the inventor holds the bag. 14. This question is inquisitorial. Many of the facts in connec- tion with my life for the past five years would probably be of pass- ing interest, but I never was much at confession and I have a habit of resenting inquiries as to my private affairs and personally desire to retain a reputation for average good conduct. Life has on the whole been calm, busy and happy, but sorrows have not been absent. I wish I could be at the reunion next June, but I had to go home in January and I cannot spare the time now, while the heat of a Princeton June would be very trying to one who has become accus- tomed to sitting in a temperature of about 58° and by self -hypno- tism persuading himself that he is comfortable. My regards and warm affection to '89." A. SCOTT HARRIS "Baldy" writes : "Your letter of June 4 with the list of 'tell mes' was forwarded to me from Bellefonte, Pa., and has just been received, and I hasten to answer it. I am sorry that I have delayed you in not having fur- nished you the data asked for at an earlier date, but this is the first 36 intimation I have had that you were still keeping tabs on me, and your letter takes me back over the many rough trails I have trav- elled since leaving 'Old Nassau', and I am glad and proud to know that I am not entirely forgotten. You boys, RolHns, that are keeping aHve the class spirit, and take the time, trouble and expense to go out into the byways and hedges and round up the 'also rans', would have your reward did you but know how keenly your efforts are appreciated and what a warming up of long dormant thoughts and impulses they bring about and what pleasant thoughts of old and cherished friendships they revive. I wish you all the good luck in the world — you and all the other good, old boys of '89 and their wives, children and sweethearts." "Baldy" adds that his permanent home address is Bellefonte, Pa., and that his present business address is Perris, Riverside County, Cal. He is now "Engineer of irrigation plant" ; and, since 1904, has been in charge of the Commissary of the Unite^d States Gov- ernment at the Roosevelt Dam in Arizona, and also Er^ineer for the Risdon Iron Works of San Francisco. He has never married. "Baldy" uses the phrase "also rans". "Baldy" must be one of the "also rans" towards Princeton at our next reunion in June, 1914. K he will paste this date in his hat, he will, some months before the reunion, receive notice of the exact dates of the various class reunion events. EDWARD RINGWOOD HEWITT "Teddy's" active business is the Presidency of the Hewitt Motor Company, the office of which is at No. 10 East 31st Street, New York City. His home address is No. 127 East 21st Street, New York City, As to further details, he writes : "Since 1904 I have been m the Automobile business, constructing principally commercial vehicles and some pleasure cars. I have not had any children born or died since 1904. I have two sons and two daughters. I have held no public official position since 1904. Have been President of one or two companies, — Hewitt Motor Company and Hewitt Motor Truck Company, and am Treasurer of Cooper Union, and interested in some other concerns. I have not received any degrees since 1904; nor have I published any books or pam- phlets. I have made a number of mechanical inventions since 1904 37 and taken out a considerable number of patents, most of which have to do with gas engines and motor cars and details pertaining to them. I regret that I cannot attend the class reunion this year, as my business is in such shape that I cannot get away." The births of "Teddy's" children were as follows : sons, July 7, 1895, and January 27, 1901 ; daughters, June 14, 1893, ^^^ J^^y 27, 1899. THOMAS WOODWARD HOTCHKISS "Tom" states that his home and business address are each 699 Madison Avenue, New York City, and that, since 1904, he has been engaged exclusively in journalistic work. For some time, and until he resigned, on October i, 1908, he was editor of "Town and Coun- try". His letter continues : "In one of the earlier Records I sketched a prophetic scheme of various professional activities I would some time undertake. I have done about every one of them; profited by them all — in ex- perience — and am now turning that experience to good account, to the best of my ability, though not to that degree of efficiency that I hope and desire to reach, in the field of free-lance Journalism. I have written many articles on many different subjects which I have sold to magazines and newspapers, and have acted as both collabo- rator and middleman in working with and for other writers. It has been an experience that has developed my self-reliance and originality more than anything else I have ever done, and been pro- portionally the more enjoyable. It is my hope that I can in some manner utilize this experience in the cause of Princeton." ^ STANLEY CARNAHAN HUGHES In a voluminous letter of twelve words, Hughes tells us that he is still Rector of Trinity Church, Newport, Rhode Island, that the Rectory of this Church is his address, and that his only children have been the three sons born prior to our fifteenth reunion (on April 28, 1898, July 18, 1900, and June 21, 1903, respectively), and still living. JAMES HUNTER "Jesse's" pen produced the following : "Your courteous request for information for the projected pub- 38 lication was sent to the last address of mine that you have. I re- ceived it this morning in this habitat. That you may retain abiUty and vocabulary to swear at other dilatory fellows, I hasten to reply. Do not send any second notice to me.

The fact that impresses itself on me from time*to time is a growing wonder how I ever got through Princeton. The experi- ence that is most pleasing is the occasional meeting with one and an- other of the Class of '89, and the renewing of youth by contact with some of the best men I know, thereby. The hope that I most often cherish, is the possibiHty of seeing them for an indefinite number of years to come here upon earth, and, afterward, still knowing them beyond. The enclosed clipping from a recent "Outlook" I send to you as it relates to one of our men who most probably will not be with the class at its reunion." (See under Lee.) "With best wishes." Dear old "Jesse" or "Jake", whichever you prefer to call him, was, of course, at our reunion. His own death could not afifect his loyalty. FRANK CHALMERS HUSTON Huston, now, as for many years past, a broker in investment se- curities, has sent a model letter, and must produce himself at our next reunion. He writes : "There is scarcely anything worth my mentioning, or that would interest the class of '89 members during the past few years. Am 2>9 putting in my time partly in Detroit, partly in Mexico, and am inter- ested in some mining ventures that are doing very nicely. I had hoped to come to Princeton for the reunion on June the nth, but am afraid it is very doubtful whether my wish will be gratified or not. Hardly ever see any of the old Princeton boys, but did have the pleasure of meeting D. McCord in Detroit about a week ago. We also had the pleasure of having Dr. Wilson with us for a little banquet some five or six weeks ago, and his visit was very much enjoyed, not only by the alumni of Princeton, but by the University Club members of Detroit, with whom 'Dr. Wilson is a great favorite. Coming to the essential part of your request, I will answer your questions in detail : No. I. No change of business address. Have been at looi Majestic Building, Detroit, Mich., for eight years, and expect to continue the same address. No. 2. Home address still the same, viz., 1433 Grand River Ave- nue, Detroit, Mich. No. 3. Still in the brokerage business, no prospective changes. You can combine No. 4-5-6-7-8 and 9 and say that I have never been married, the chances are very much against my being married, consequently have no children, neither sons or daughters. I might add in this connection, however, that I hope I am the only member of '89 with this kind of a record. In regard to No. 10, have had no official position and never have sought any, and hope I never will be obliged to. In regard to No. 11, I very much doubt whether I was ever enti- tled to any scholastic degree. Of course it follows that No. 12 is answered by saying that I have published no books or pamphlets, and have nothing excepting business letters on file, neither am I of an inventive turn of mind and, therefore, will say in regard to ques- tion No. 13, that I have no mechanical invention to my credit, either before or since 1904. From this, you will see that my life has been yery prosaic and I presume it will continue to be as long as I am on earth. I don't know of anything interesting at all in regard to myself. If I did, I surely would tell you, but if you will join me some time on a trip to Mexico I certainly will do my best to make the trip both interest- ing and pleasant. 40 Regretting that I am unable to attend the reunion, as I probably will be, I am, with the fondest remembrance of all of the members of the class of '89." J HENRY CLAY IRONS ''Harry" Irons still lives at Plainfield, N. J., while his office is at No. 320 in that simple New York City by-way known as Fifth Ave- nue. He is still engaged in the improving of erstwhile potato fields and cabbage patches on. Manhattan Island, by dividing them into corner lots and selling them at astonishing figures. Of the two sons born to him (on Feb. 16, 1898 and April 27, 1899 respectively) both are living, and of his two daughters one (born September 5, 1896) is Hving. His other daughter, born September 15, 1895, died September 23, 1I895. i WILLIAM SHERMAN JENNEY This is the story of a man, to whom success has come, not by chance, but because he earned it. Some of you write of hard work, but this man's ordinary business days make the most violent efforts of some of you look the final stages of the "Sleeping Sickness". "Colonel Bill" sometime since deserted Syracuse, N. Y., and moved to New York City, where his house address is 301 West 82nd Street. During business hours, "Colonel Bill" may be found at No. 90 West Street, New York City, where is his office, as Vice-Presi- dent and General Counsel of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company. The only addition to his family the last five years has been a daughter, born on October i, 1908, which makes his living children one son (born August 16, 1900) and two daugh- ters (i. e., daughter above and another, born January 31, 1896)/ A secpnd son died at birth on December 20, 1897. ^- FRANK SNOWDEN KATZENBACH, JR. If the voters of New Jersey had voted, in 1907, as well as "Katzy" has written the following letter, "Katzy" would now be Governor of his State. He says : "i. My present business address is 28-29-34 Forst-Richey Build- ing, Trenton, New Jersey. 41 2. My present home address is 504 West State Street, Trenton, New Jersey. 3. I am practicing my profession of the law and have been ever since my admission to the Bar of New Jersey in November, 1892. 4. On November 10, 1904, I married at Wincote, Pennsylvania, Natalie McNeal Grubb, daughter of Andrew H. McNeal. 6. The following are the names, dates and places of birth of our children: Floy McNeal Katzenbach, born at Trenton, New Jersey, September 22, 1905 ; Frank S. Katzenbach, III, born at Trenton, New Jersey, June 8th, 1907; Natalie McNeal Katzenbach, born at Spring Lake, New Jersey, September 15, 1908. 7. On March 17, 1909, my daughter, Natalie McNeal Katzen- bach, died. 8. The number of sons now living is one. 9. The number of daughters now living is one. 10. I was Mayor of the City of Trenton, from January i, 1902, to January i, 1906. 11. I have received no scholastic degrees. 12. I have published no books or pamphlets. 13. I have patented no mechanical inventions or processes. 14. I know of no other facts concerning my life during the past five years which may be of interest to my class, except possibly the fact that on vSeptember 17, 1907, I was nominated by the Democratic Party of New Jersey for the office of Governor of New Jersey. After an arduous campaign, the election was held November 5, 1907. The returns, until the following day, indicated my election l3y eight thousand majority, and the newspapers had it so reported. All the early returns were verified with the exception of the returns from one county, which reduced the majority of fifteen thousand, reported to have been given me, to seven thousand, so that my oppo- nent was elected by a majority of eight thousand. I had the satisfaction, however, of having received the highest number of votes by many thousands ever given to any Democratic candidate within the State of New Jersey and of having reduced the Republican majority from the last precedmg gubernatorial election from fifty-one thousand to eight thousand. At this time I had the pleasure of receiving a number of congratulatory letters and tele- grams from eighty-nine men, some of those being from classmates I had not seen since graduation. 42 Since the election of 1907, I have been devoting my time exclus- ively to the practice of my profession of the law, and have really been enjoying life more than when I was holding an official posi- tion". Your Secretary has been told by members of the 1907 State Com- mittee that "Katzy's" record as Mayor accounted for the loss of 43,000 Republican votes. J VICTOR KAUFFMANN Straight from his editorial office, Victor sends the following letter, which, as appears from its text, is self-insured against the blue pen- cil of the class secretary: "Since the record of the class was published five years ago, I have neither made much history nor had much made for me. I am just about the same old six-pence, rather grayer and a bit stouter, but otherwise not much changed. I have the same home address, am in the same business and have the same wife andk children, — no more, and fortunately no less. My older boy, Philip Christopher, is at Lawrenceville, and my younger, Samuel Hay" (erroneously called Victor Rudolph in previous records), "is in school in Wash- ington, but both have figured out what class they expect to- enter at Princeton. My home address is 2200 Wyoming Avenue, Wash- ington, D. C. I am, as I have been ever since 1889, on the editorial staff of The Evening Star, and intend to hold on to the job, unless Tom Noyes takes it into his head to fire me. We are always glad to see Eighty Nine men at The Star office and only wish they would drop in oftener. I have contributed nothing of importance to lit- erature, nor have I invented anything but excuses for leaving the office earlier than I should and going out to the Chevy Chase Club for a game of golf. Am still in the duffer class, however. Am fond of automobiling, but have to hire a man to do my driving. I usually spend part of every summer at my little cottage in New Hampshire, and a part at a salmon fishing club in Canada. Last summer I was desperately ill, and spent several months in a hospital where my life was despaired of, but none would believe it now. Am enjoying better health than I have ever done since I was a boy. Have filled no positions of honor, political or otherwise. Plenty of ■otium cum or sine dignitate, as you choose to look at it. Am look- 43 ing forward with the greatest pleasure to our reunion and sincerely hope that everyone will enjoy it as much as I expect to, for the class of '89 has a mighty warm place in my heart." Victor's children have been two sons (born October 13, 1895, and February 24, 1898, respectively), both of whom are living. The younger of them was with Victor at headquarters at our recent reunion, and was unfortunate enough to contract pneumonia; but, after transferrence to the College infirmary, under the professional care of "Mose" Belknap and David Bovaird, he made a good recov- ery. Incidentally, this youngster showed courage that the majority of his elders would lack. A WILLIAM HOWARD KING ■■r,J "Billy's" office address is now, as in the five years last past, 112 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pa., where he is Chief Medical Director of the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Phila- delphia. His home address is Narberth, Pa. On May 22, 1904, was born to him a daughter, Margery L., and on October 11, 1907, a son, Howard C. Accordingly, "Billy's"*// living children are four sons (born respectively October 14, 1895,^' January 22, 1897, December 9, 1899 and October 11, 1907), and two daughters (born respectively June 26, 1898, and May 22, 1904). His first child, a son, died May 2, 1893. t/'^ "Billy" adds : "I have written some very poor stuff, published in various jour- nals, on "Moral Hazard", "Tuberculosis and Life Insurance", "Under Average Lives", etc. I have worn a beaten track between my work and my family. My work and my family, while all in all to me, would be dull and prosy in comparison with 'his' work or 'his' family so that I can say nothing of interest, save to pay tribute to a member of '89, who shall be nameless, whose kindness will ever be remembered by me and mine." FURMAN KNEELAND "Sport" is still engaged in the grocery business, with his office at 65 Hudson Street, New York City, and his home address at No. 438 Grand Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. The only child born to him has been a daughter (born February 18, 1894), and she is now liv- ing. 44 "Sport" may be short in his letter, but he is "long" on Princeton spiyit. Reunions are to him what raw meat is to a hungry dog. I 4 GRAHAM LEE From Pyeng Yang, Korea, comes the following letter: "To keep Speer from writing a young book about me, as he did once before, I'll have to say as the coon did, 'don't shoot, I'll come down'. In regard to the list of questions, here are the official an- swers : I and 2. Same old stand, Pyeng Yang, Korea, which I hope to hold down until the end of the chapter. 3. Same old business — trying to help Koreans be men — Chris- tian men, and I wouldn't trade jobs with any of you. 4. Same good wife, only hke wine, she grows better with age. 5. Epso — that's Korean — you can guess what it means. 6. One boy, born December 4, 1906. Name, Henry Moffett Lee, born in Pyeng Yang, Korea. 7. Nothing to report — the bunch intact. 8. Three; and they are all right, if I do say it. 9. One, and she's righter than the boys. 10. Ambassador of the Lord of Hosts. 11. The degree of O. T. J., and if you don't know what that means, find out. 12. A very important work on the subject, 'Should the Children of Missionaries Be Educated?' I enclose one to Rollins, hoping that it may do him good. 13. None as yet, but am working on a process, with which to solve the following: How to make a decreasing nerve force meet the demands of increasing problems. 14. My friends, there is no more beautiful sight than to watch the development of Christian homes among a people who have been accustomed to sell their women Hke brute beasts. It is a rare privi- lege to have the opportunity of placing your stamp of Christian manhood on an awakening people, and that is the privilege of the Korean missionary to-day. With greetings to all the class." "Jake" Hunter sends the following clipping, taken from the "Outlook" of April 17, 1909: 45 "Like many another observer of the situation at first hand, I have envied more than one missionary his career. But there are no shoes in which I would rather stand than those worn by the Rev. Graham Lee, of Pyeng Qang, Korea. The world of mission stud- ents know him as one of the two men, Moffett and Lee, who pio- neered that stupendously and romantically successful mission work in North Korea, which bids fair to prove nothing less than the es- tablishing of a Christian empire. For my part, I love him most as a fun-maker, a sunshine missionary to the missionaries. Once a month all the missionaries of that city, both Methodist and Presby- terian, get together for a frolic, with Missionary Lee as Ringmas- ter, so to speak. Everybody has to do some 'stunt', and woe betide the missionary who is caught saying a word about his 'work'. There have not come within my observation any other body of mis- sionaries who bear such a terrific burden of increasing labor. The greater, therefore, the need of relaxation. The nerve strain of life and labor in an alien community is beyond an untravelled person's comprehension No missionary should be sent out who has not a sense of humor. Happy is the station that has a resident with the courage and wisdom to hold his fellows rigorously to a periodical frolic. Graham Lee is pastor of Pyeng Yang's famous 'big church' (there were twelve hundred persons at the midweek prayer meeting on a wintry night when I was there) : he is also the only pastor of seventeen other outlying churches, which he visits on week nights; he is a professor in the theological seminary, superintendent of an industrial school that pays its own expenses, general business agent of the mission, and Special Committee on Good Humor for the whole station — a fair stint of work for one who has barely reached middle life. William T. Ellis." In this connection, it may not be amiss to mention that, on the label of a brand of flour, has appeared the statement: "It's the Graham that does the work," ROBERT CHARLES LEWIS ' "Bobbie" writes : "Such replies as I could make to your catechism you will find on the reverse side of this sheet and on the circular itself. Sorry I 46 cannot report any matter of importance or that would be of inter- est. Am still looking for my day of great things." "Bobbie" adds that his home address is Riverdale, N. J., and that since his resignation as Treasurer of the Lincoln Trust Company, November i, 1907, he has not been engaged in business, but "ex- pects a change in the near future." Lewis has had, in all, and now has two sons (born respectively January 11, 1898 and March 27, 1904) and one daughter (born October 11, 1901). The death of a relative and the serious illness of two of his chil- dren deprived us of "Bobbie's" presence at our last reunion. ROBERT HENRY LIFE \^ "Bobbie" tells us that he is still unmarried, and that his address is Haydenville, Mass., where he is minister of the Congregational Church. He adds : "The above report looks so brief that it may imply indifference, but it does not mean that. One who has to speak to the same people three or four times a week comes to think of brevity a? a very great virtue. Most all the events of my life are interesting to me, but I do not know how I could put them in the fofm of a report." WILLIAM T. MacMILLAN MacMillan writes that he is still practicing medicine at Perrine- ville, N. J., that his only child a son (born February 14, 1894), is still living and that he is "not guilty" of any of the implied accusa- tions made in the tenth and succeeding questions of the class circular. He had planned to attend our reunion, but was prevented from doing so. GEORGE THEBAUD MAXWELL Maxwell is still a member of the New York Stock Exchange firm of Maxwell & Scoville, whose offices are at No. 3 Broad Street, New York City. His home address is Oyster Bay, Long Island, N. Y. Maxwell's children have been two sons (born respectively March 5, 1900, and January 20, 1902), both of whom are living. He concludes with the statement that he has, during the last five years, followed "the simple life and been as quiet as some of the 47 football games and the eminent reformers and magazines would permit." JOHN STEVENS MAXWELL y Hurrah for Maxwell, and hurrah for Bonsai ! "Rocky's" busi- ness is contracting. He contracted to find Maxwell, and his efforts eventuated in the following interesting letter : "It has been years since I have heard from any of the Class of '89; in fact, I have not heard or seen any of the members of that class since 1890, when I met Jenney at the University of Virginia when taking the summer law course under Professor John B. Minor. I left Princeton at the end of the freshman year, and had intended to return in due course ; but upon returning home I found that the freeze of January, 1886, had damaged things so that it was prob- able that I could not continue for the full four years, and I therefore decided to at once get into business of some kind. In January of 1887, I entered the Auditor's office of the F. R. & N. R. R., afterwards the F. C. & P., and now part of the Seaboard and remained there until January, 1889, when I went to Gainesville, Fla., and entered the office of W. W. Hampton, Esq., for the pur- pose of studying law. I remained in Gainesville until February, 1890, when I returned to Jacksonville, Fla., and entered the office of A. W. Cockrell & Son, with a view to continuing my study of the law. In the summer of 1890, about the latter part of June, I went to the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, Va., to take the sum.mer law course under Prof. John B. Minor. I returned to Jack- sonville in the Fall, in September, 1890, and re-entered the office of A. W. Cockrell & Son. I was admitted to the bar in 1892, and continued with A. W. Cockrell & Son until May, 1898, when I en- tered the volunteer army during the War with Spain. Returning to Jacksonville in December, 1898, I opened my office as a lawyer, and continued by myself until after the fire of 1901, which de- stroyed so much of this city. In January, 1902, I formed a part- nership with Hon. Cromwell Gibbons, under the firm name of Gib- bons & Maxwell, and we are still practicing together. As to any honors bestowed upon me, they have been mainly in the service of the State militia. I entered the militia as a mem- ber, private in Jacksonville Light Infantry, during a threatened riot in July, 1892, and served as private, sergeant, second lieuten- ant and captain, and in 1898 entered the Volunteer Army of the United States as Captain of Co. E, Florida Volunteer Infantry, and served until December 11, 1898, being Provost Marshal for about a month at Huntsville, Ala. Upon returning home, I continued as captain of Jacksonville Light Infanti*y, and upon the reorganization of the militia into two regiments in 1899, was made major in the First Regiment of Infantry, and have served continuously ever since through the grades of lieutenant-colonel and colonel of the First Infantry, until appointed in July, 1907, as brigadier-general and assigned to command the First Brigade of Infantry, which po- sition I still hold. I have never actively entered into political life, but in June, 1907, I was appointed by Governor N. B. Broward as Judge of the Criminal Court of Record for Duval County, Florida, which court has jurisdiction of all criminal offenses arising in this county except capital cases, that is to say, except rape and murder. In the primaries in May of 1908, I was nominated for a new term of four years, which I am now about to enter upon, rhave held the chair of Lecturing Knight in Jacksonville Lodge No. 221, Ben- evolent and Protective Order of Elks of this city, was director of the Elks Ckib for two terms, and am now president of The Robert Burns Association of this city. I was married in November, 1905, to Miss Willie Mae Dancy, the daughter of Dr. W. McL. Dancy and Mrs. Mae Young Dancy. I have one child, a girl named Martha EHzabeth Maxwell, born July 19, 1907, who is still living and progressing finely. I have never been back to Princeton but once since 1886, and that was on my wedding trip in November, 1905, when I stopped over one Sunday afternoon. I hardly recognized the old place, so many new and handsome buildings had been erected. Still it was a great pleasure to me, and aroused my pleasant recollections." 125 men will insist that the 126th man. Maxwell, attends the next reunion. / ALVIN CARR McCORD "Mac" is still engaged in the manufacture of railway cars and their equipment. His office address is now Old Colony Building, Chicago, 111.; and will continue such until May i, 1910, after which 49 date it will be Peoples Gas Building, Chicago, 111. "Mac's" house address is No. 600 North State Street, Chicago, 111. There have been no additions to his family the last five years, and the only child born to him has been a daughter (born June 24, 1902) who, fortunately for "Mac" and everyone brought in contact with this small lady, is much alive. "Mac", in his short letter, makes no mention of the occurrence, but it was an endearing sight to see him enter the Hotel Regina in Paris, four summers ago, carrying under his arm an enormous "Teddy Bear", carried solely because young Miss McCord, aged three, said he had to carry it. He car- ried it, and he put it down only when Miss McCord told him he might. Mac's short letter concludes : "I have taken out a lot of patents, but they are all in the nature of improvements on different things in our various lines of manu- factures, and are hardly worthy of the dignity of being called in- ventions." j DAVID WALTER McCORD H T'other McCord writes : "There are no changes of moment for me to report since our last Record. My business address is now 50 Church Street, Hudson Terminal Building, New York. I regret that I am unable to chron- icle any great performances, official positions held, scholastic de- grees received, mechanical inventions, books published, etc., during the past five years, but notwithstanding, the period has been a full and joyous one to me." "D" has been, for some time, a member of the Council of the Princeton Club of New York, and is the '89 representative in the Graduate Council of the University. He has had two daughters (born respectively July 23, 1894, and June 7, 1903), both of whom are living. ^ WILLIAM HERRON McCULLOCH ■4 "Mac's" letter reads thus: "I won't attempt to apologize or explain why I have not answered your numerous letters, I simply didn't write and that is all. On receipt of your two registered letters this morning, I recog- 50 nized the fact, as never before, that the Princeton spirit is simply indomitable, and will not be denied, and I am therefore compelled to give you what little information I can about myself. My present business address is, care of U. S. Industrial Alcohol Co., Peoria, 111., and there is no prospective change. My home address is 412 N. Monroe St., Peoria, 111., where I hope to remain for some time. I am still in the distilling business, as indicated by the answer to your first question. I have not married, which statement takes care of questions four to nine inclusive. To each of the next four I must answer, none. There are no unusual facts about my Hfe for the last five years, which would be of interest to the class in general. Until this morning I thought that it would be impossible for me to attend the reunion, but I think now that I shall be able to get away, and I wired you to that effect this morning." He attended the reunion, and he must attend the nex^one. His letter, written on the letterhead of the "U. S. Industrial Alcohol Co., Manufacturers of Denatured Alcohol, Trademark Pyro, Smokeless, Odorless" raised great hopes among certain members of the class, until they learned that denatured alcohol, although smokeless and odorless, produces in the drinker a physical state known as lifeless. Then the excitement died out. But this fright- ful blow to hopes in no way detracted from the pleasure the class had in having "Mac" at the reunion. THOMAS McKEE McKEE "Tom's" home address is still Beverly Farms, Essex County, Mass., but he is now a member of the New York Stock Exchange, with an office at 115 Broadway, New York City. He has had but one child, a son (born February 11, 1891), who is still living. During the last five years, "Tom" has filed one patent. I WILLIAM B. McLEAN McLean writes : "The only change necessary in my case for the class record is my address, which is now 409 Stokes Avenue, Braddock, Pa." SI This means that McLean is still connected with the H. C. Frick Coke Co., that his one son (born July 23, 1897) is living, and that, of his two daughters (born respectively Dec. 22, 1901 and May 29, 1903) the elder is still alive. The younger died July 16, 1903. McLean concludes : "With regards to all the old boys." U GEORGE GRENVILLE MERRILL George tells us that he now is, as he has been since June, 1903, Rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, in Buffalo, N. Y., and that his house address is 214 Porter Avenue, in that city. At the time of our fifteenth reunion, he had had no children, but since then, and on February 22, 1907, a daughter was born, and fortunately she is still living. He says also: "Since June, 1904, I have been on the Sunday School Commis- sion of the Diocese of Western New York, on the Committee of Revision of the Canons of the Diocese of Western New York, President of the Buffalo Sunday School League, 1906-1908, Dele- gate to the Pan Anglican Congress in London, 1908, Chaplain to the Bishop of Western New York at the Lambeth Conference, London, 1908, etc. I am leading a terribly busy life as Rector of a church of 840 communicants or over 600 families, or parts of families. Paid a debt of $12,500 off my church three years ago. Received a gift of $2,500 at Easter toward acquiring property for a new Guild House. Interested in Art School, in public things and give innumerable sermons, lectures, addresses, etc., on all kinds of top- ics, in the church and out of it." \ WILLIAM LAING MERRILL "Billy's" address is in care of his brother George (above). He is not engaged in active work; and, through illness, was unable to write a letter prior to the time this volume went to press. j FREDERICK SHEPARD MINOTT sj "Fred" still continues as Secretary of the Goodyear Rubber Com- pany, and may be found at that Company's New York office, No. 787 Broadway. His house address is 449 Park Avenue in the same 52 \ city. In addition to his connection with the Goodyear Company, he is also President of the Goodyear Rubber Insulating Company. 'Tred" was married in Florence, Italy, on February ii, 1905, to Miss Marion Lowry, daughter of the late Commodore R. B Lowry U. S. Navy. CLARENCE BLAIR MITCHELL "Mitch" always replies by return mail, and always sends definite answers to any questions put to him. Below is an example of the way he ordinarily does things and of the way the majority of the class should do, but do not. "Answering your questions in detail, I would say that my pres- ent business address is No. 40 Wall Street, New York City, and that my home address is Pennbrook House, Far Hills, N. J., and that I have no expectation of altering either address. I am still engaged in the practice of law, and hope to continue in the profes- sion. There have been no births or deaths in my immediate family since 1904. I have now living one son, the class boy" (born Decem- ber 17, 1890), "who goes to Princeton next Fall, and four daugh- ters" (born respectively January 25, 1893, March 22,, 1895, February 2, 1897, March — , 1901). "I have not filled any official positions, received any scholastic degrees, published any book or pamphlet, nor patented any mechan- ical inventions since June, 1904, nor, so far as I can remember, have I done anything sufficiently meritorious or disgraceful to warrant reference to it." To Clarence Blair Mitchell, the father, our classmate, our loving congratulations, and to Clarence Van Schaick Mitchell, the son, our class boy, our best wishes, on the latter's becoming a Princeton undergraduate. CHARLES JENKINS MONTGOMERY Many of the class, on reading "Monty's" letter, should be filled with shame, but not so completely filled with shame, that there may not be left a little space for good resolve that next time they will do better in their writing. "I will answer the questions contained in your circular letter as follows : S3 1. John's Street, The Hill, Augusta, Ga. No prospective change in the near future. 2. This may be answered as the first question, for while I have been living at the home of my aunt, adjoining mine for several months, I expect to move back to my house on or about June i. 3. General practice of medicine doing some surgery as opportu- nity offers. 4. Am glad to say that my wife is living and in good health. 5. Was married as stated in the last Record, December 24, 1901 ; as you ask in a postscript to this circular where I was married and where Mrs. Montgomery was living at the time, will say that I was married in the Church of the Good Shepherd, Sand Hills, near Au- gusta, Ga. ; that Mrs. Montgomery, who was then Miss Scott lived about one square (as the blocks here are called) below the Church. For general information will state that the place alluded to as the Sand Hills refers to a settlement, often known locally as The Hill, and legally as Summerville, being an incorporated town of about five thousand inhabitants, and adjoining Augusta, Ga. 6. One girl, Margaret (born August 8, 1904) ; two boys, the elder of these, Francis Holland (born June 29th, 1907), and the younger, Edward Alexander (born August 21, 1908). 7. None. 8. Two. 9. One. 10. I continue to hold the position of County Physician of Rich- mond County. Was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia State Sanitarium till January, 1908. Am still a member of the Board of Trustees of the Summerville Academy. Am Pro- fessor of Hygiene, Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology in the Medical Department of the University of Georgia. Held a commis- sion as Major and Surgeon N. G. Ga., retired. Was a delegate to the Georgia State Democratic Convention in June, 1908. 11. None. 12. The Need of a Scientific System of Identification in Georgia ; with recommendations and suggestions.' This was an address de- livered before the Prison Commission of Georgia July 11, 1907, and later published in pamphlet form. 'Survivors from the Cargo of the Negro Slave Yacht Wanderer' is the title of an article which 54 /■ was first published in the American Anthropologist, in 1908, Vol. 10, No. 4, and later also in pamphlet form. 13. None. 14. Nothing further to record at present. With best wishes for a most successful reunion of the class in June, whether I am so fortunate as to be present or so unfortunate as to be absent at this anticipated gathering of '89." The class was unfortunate. "Monty" was absent. JOSEPH CHANDLER MORRIS "Pomp" was prevented from attending our twentieth reunion, and he must immediately make a note of the facts : first, that our twenty- fifth reunion will be in June, 19 14, and, second, that a reunion is not a reunion without "Pomp" Morris. "Pomp's" calling is now, as it has been since before June, 1904, that of a civil engineer. His business address is Peoples Bank Building, New Orleans, La., and his house address is No. 1654 State Street, in the same city. % His only child, a son, born (May 29, 1902) is still living. / y WILLIAM BOSWELL MOUNT Mount is still devoting himself to intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. work among medical and dental students. His office is at the Intercol- legiate Young Men's Christian Association, No. 1421 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa., while his house address is No. 904 South 47th Street, in the same city. Russell Baker Mount (born October 9, 1904), Philip King Mount (born August 15, 1906), and Julia Lyman Mount (born January 21, 1908), comprise the additions to Mount's family since our fifteenth reunion. As reported in our quindecennial record. Mount had one other child, a daughter, who was born and who died on October 18, 1902. His two small sons and one small daughter all proceeded to devote themselves the last winter to successive illnesses, which pro- vided their father for some time with good cause for anxiety- anxiety which, fortunately, has ceased to have excuse for existence. LEWIS SEYMOUR MUDGE "Mudgie" ofifers no excuse for the use of the blue pencil. Here is his letter intact: 55 •"The last record found me located in Princeton. There I contin- ued to reside until last September, when I came to Lancaster as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. After an enforced idle- ness of several years it is most delightful to be at work again, and especially under such favorable conditions as one finds here. Lan- caster is a city of over fifty thousand inhabitants, and its population is increasing at the rate of one thousand a year. It is a great agri- cultural, manufacturing and educational centre, a rare combination and as desirable as rare. As Lancaster is situated on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. I trust that some of my classmates will stop over as they pass through, and give me an opportunity to show them how desirable a place it is in which to live and labor, for the only thing it needs to make it almost ideal is a larger con- tingent of Princeton men in residence. I am very grateful that I have no sorrows to chronicle and no changes to contemplate. Though of course I miss greatly the spec- ial charms of life in Princeton, I sincerely hope that I am to remain here for an indefinite period, and in the work to which I have de- voted my life. I cannot recall having occupied any official positions or having received any degrees, or having written any pamphlets or books or having invented any devices, during the past five years. Possibly by the time our twenty-fifth anniversary comes around I shall have more of interest to report." This is the writing of the best class secretary any Princeton class ever had, AISAKU NAKAGAWA First, read "Nak's" letter. It is: "Oiso, May 4, 1909. — I am afraid I'm much behind time. I have been rather unwell and you will kindly ascribe my delay to that attenuating circumstance. Answers to the questions : 1. I have no business address. 2. Oiso. No anticipated change. 3. None. 4. Wife still living. She lived in Tokyo before our marriage, which took place in Sendai. 5- 56 6. A daughter, Marie, born December 8, 1904. 7. None. 8. One. 9. One. 10. Continued in my old position as a professor of Hygiene in the Sendai Medical School, till November, 1907. 11. 12, 13. None. 14. I am sorry that I cannot give anything of interest as my life has been very uninteresting, even to myself. On account of ner- vous prostration I gave up my position a year before last November, and have been in retirement at this sea-side town ever since. I am beginning to feel better and hope to be quite well soon." Second, mindful of "Nak's" fear that he had been slow in reply- ing, notice the date of his writing, May 4th, and then, some of you men who live in the City of New York and who replied, only after from four to sixteen requests had been sent you, consider. Third, every one of you use your influence on "Nak," to per- suade him so to arrange his life, that he will find it atj^olutely nec- essary to be at Princeton in June, 19 14. FRED NEHER Fred calmly opens his letter with a reference to not having writ- ten before the reunion. This simple, honest-sounding statement, needs editing. Fred, not only did not write prior to the reunion, despite urgent requests, but did not write after the reunion, until there were arriving at his house missives from your secretary, of such wording that Fred felt that, out of deference to his chil- dren's morals, they must be stopped. Then, too, there was always the danger that, if one of Fred's children escaped the physical in- jury of burning its hand on one of the secretary's communications, the child might read the letter, and so lose faith in its father and in Christianity. Yet, we have to forgive Fred his slowness because of what he does in Princeton and because of what he is. Fred, who is inciden- tally trying to square himself with the secretary, sends this letter : 'T have no excuse to offer for not having written you before our reunion, but I feel that the delay gives me the distinct advantage of, an opportunity to express the deep obHgation I, in common with every other '89 man, am under to you for bringing about for us a 57 reunion so perfect in all respects. (If you do not print this I swear never again to attempt even a belated answer to your cumulatively 'urgent appeals.) Comradeships of sorts we had long known, but the reawakening and deepening of fellowship we experienced sur- passed the fondest hopes even of our ever optimistic David. I con- fess to having felt a somewhat cynical pity for the said David when I thought how rudely he would be awakened from his impossible dreams. I was outspoken in opposing his extravagant plans for our comfort and entertainment. Two houses, forsooth ! You see, I was counting the cost in dollars and, all unconsciously, measuring the possible benefits also in dollars. Should we now try to express its value in mere dollars, the schedules would suggest a Roosevelt appropriation bill. Now my slogan for the next reunion is : Three houses. A sorority adjunct to '89's bidomiciliary fraternity, de- voted to the entertainment of our sisters by marriage, is, I beHeve, the only way left us to out-David David. We must not let the op- portunity slip. In short, then, the reunion is the dearest memory of my last five years. I think I would not part with its fragrance for anything else I possess save wife and family. For the rest, my business address is still Princeton, as I have a summer home at Rangeley, Maine, where, as in Princeton, I hope to see '89 men drop in with increasing frequency. I am still nominal head of the household re- ported five years ago, with extensions but no additions. I am still serving as professor and head of the department of chemistry here in Princeton. My only publications are a few researches on most prosaic chemical subjects. My heart glows more warmly than ever before for '89 and for Princeton." Fred's two children, a son (born August 14, 1899), and a daugh- ter (born May 27, 1902), are living. No chemical experiment ever done by Fred can have been so suc- cessful, in its performance and in its culmination, as was the garden party which he and Mrs. Neher gave the class at our recent reunion. If Fred were "testing" for pleasure given, he could have done it in \ no more conclusive way than was done by him and his wife. ^ HENRY GRAVES NOEL "Father" Noel is President of the Noel- Young Bond and Stock Company, dealers in municipal bonds and local securities, at No. • ' 58 304 North Fourth Street, St. Louis, Mo. He tells us that his house address is No. 5065 McPherson Avenue, St. Louis, Mo., that the only addition to his family, since our fifteenth reunion, is through the birth of a daughter, Cynthia Wylie, on October 13, 1908, and accordingly, that his children have been one son (born July 18, 1892) and four daughters (born respectively April 26, 1891, March 22, 1894, April 24, 1898, and October 13, 1908), all of whom are living. THOMAS CLARENCE NOYES The following letter will suggest that "Tom" is not an insistent correspondent, but the effort spent in obtaining the letter was more than offset by what was obtained. In the fullness of time, "Tom" wrote this : "The things that you ask of me in your registered letter dated June 4th, and addressed to me as editor, I refuse to do with all the scorn and contumely it is possible to throw into a rejection. In my editorial capacity I have a high regard and a very tender considera- tion for Mr. Thos. C. Noyes, as an individual, and I will neither ■'kick him', 'hit him in the face' or 'tear his coat up the back' to please any long-legged specimen of the legal fraternity. On the contrary I have, pursuant to your request, but with sympathetic words, shown him your letter, and have witnessed with approba- tion the just indignation that flamed up in his wronged heart as he read your outrageous proposals. What he said about you in his righteous wrath I should like you to know, but I cannot write them to you; there is a law against sending such expressions through the mails. But why waste ammunition this way, as the man said when he shot at a rabbit and hit his wife. You demand information. You shall have it. Take your blamed old circular, note the numbers of the questions, and listen. 1. Star Building, Washington, D. C. 2. 1800 Connecticut Avenue, Washington, D. C, and Alton Farm, Sligo, Md. 3. Newspaper business with a few side Hnes, the particulars of which it is not necessary to relate, in view of the well-known legal principle about a witness incriminating himself. I am Treasurer of 59 r the Star Company, and News Manager of the Evening and Sunday Star. 4, 5. Still married — same wife. 6, 7, 8, 9. Do you mean to insult me? 10. Silence. 11. More and deeper silence. 12. Have helped in the daily publishing of a pamphlet called the Star, having a larger circulation in proportion to the population — but what's the use, you are a lawyer. 13. Very dense silence. 14. This is the number I've been waiting for. There are so many 'facts' connected with my life during the past five years that are of thrilling interest to me that I don't know where to begin. There is the question of millinery bills. As I said to my wife shortly after Easter in the year 1906, — but gee ! it wouldn't be right to tell you that. I'd better tell you about a cook I had in 1909, who drank all the cooking sherry and licked two policemen, and say Phil, are you interested in dogs? I had a dog that chased a rabbit up a tree and just as he — but now I think of it that was before 1904 and doesn't go. Ah! but here a real fact. In 1906 I bought an automobile. I owned it two weeks, since then some automobile has owned me. Speaking of tires — say, who is the best all around 'cusser' in the class ? I want to have a talk with him. Now, you emaciated, not to speak of elongated, writer of circu- lars, if you can get any information out of this you are welcome to it." / J WILLIAM MILLER PAXTON, JR. "Bill" has retired from business, so that he has ample time in which to write. Consider the weeks of anxious work put into the following communication — a communication so voluminous that the printer has considered the possible advisability of publishing his letter as a separate work. Here is his letter: "Paxton. Address, Princeton, N. J." \^.A?M^ ^RUSSELL PEMBERTON Pemberton, with over-modesty, writes : "There is little to tell. My home and my office address are 165 Madison Avenue, New York City, and my occupation is, as it was 60 before, the regular practice of medicine, meanwhile also acting as Medical Examiner for the Prudential Life Insurance Co. As regards questions 4 to 13, inclusive, absolutely nothing has happened. As to 14, I fear I cannot do much better. (I see right now, that I am going to get plucked on this examination.) I simply have been leading the usual humdrum, tedious, and sleepy existence of the average New Yorker. Possibly I notice it the more keenly, because f practiced in Philadelphia for a couple of years." A CYRUS LONG PERSHING Read the "Anarchist's" platform. It is : "The enclosed is a brief summary of my varied career for the last five years : 1. Janeway Hall, City Hospital, Blackwell's Island, N. Y. City. 2. 1335 Howard Ave., Pottsville, Pa. In the course of a few months I expect to move to Denver, Colorado, where, after Sep- tember I, my address will be Stedman Block. * 3. I have been studying medicine since 1904, and at present am a hospital interne. With regard to all the other questions I have nothing to commu- nicate. I graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, in May, 1908, and have since been working at the Manhattan State Hospital on Ward's Island and here at the City Hospital. I expect to practice medicine in Denver, Colo." JOHN VAN NESS PHILIP "Phil" reports that he has not been in business since prior to June, 1904, that his address is "Talavera", Clavarack, N. Y., and that he is not married. He answers "None" to questions about degrees, pubHcations and inventions, and "Thanks" to the 14th interrogatory. CLIFFORD CHANDLER POLLISON This is the "Ice man's" letter: "I had expected a hard examination paper, but find it a snap. It is so easy to say no degrees, no inventions, no pamphlets, no daugh- ters, no anything. If you had asked 'zvhyf — as a real live examina- 61 tion paper would, then the saiHng would not be so plain. I think you would have added interest to our papers if you had inserted one more question, to read something like this : State all your infrac- tions of the Ten Commandments since 1904. (i) 496-510 Pacific Ave,, Jersey City, N. J. (2) Waverly Park, Newark, N. J. (3) Wholesale ice and produce. (4) Not guilty. (5) January 28, 1908, Newark, N. J., Daisy Spader Voorhees. (6) No sex, no date, no place. (7) Ditto. (8) o. (9) Ditto. (10) '' (11) " The degrees of interest in the ice business are not scholastic. (12) Ditto. (13) " (14) " ." When your class secretary went to Princeton, some weeks since, to prepare the houses for the reunion, there was "Polly", waiting for the reunion to commence. His heart has never gotten into any of his refrigerators, nor have his feet, when there arose for Prince- i ton or '89 any need, whether financial or otherwise. 1 EDMUND FRANCIS QUINN In prompt answer to the class circular, came the following: "In response to your request for information for the class record, I would advise you that there has been no change in my 'status' since the last report. My address is care of Comptroller of the Cur- rency, Washington, D. C. Hoping that you may have a pleasant time at the reunion, I remain." This means that Quinn is in the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, where his work consists of keeping his bureau acquainted with the laws and decisions affecting national banks, and that he \ has never married. \ EDWARD WATSON RAND '^^^ "Mose" tells us that his business address is Rand Collegiate School, No. 138 West State Street, Trenton, New Jersey, and that 62 his house address is Hodge Road and Library Place, Princeton, N. J. During the last five years, as before, he has been Head Master of the Rand Collegiate School at Trenton, N. J., a pre- paratory school for boys and girls, and has also been in charge of the Summer Term of the Rand Collegiate School maintained, at Princeton, in one of the buildings which was used by us as head- quarters at our last reunion. "Mose" says that he hopes all '89 men will send their sons to his summer school to remove the conditions which are sure to be given them in their entrance examinations. His letter concludes : "As many in the class know, I have made my home for the last twenty years with Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Hudnut at Princeton in the winter time and at Allenhurst, N. J., in the summer. As some of my classmates know, the saddest event in my life was the death in one year of the two best friends I ever had — Mr. and Mrs. Hudnut. With the exception of these sad events and irreparable losses, I have lived a quiet and happy hfe, keeping my name out of the newspapers — not caring for newspaper notoriety like % . . " \/ FREDERICK ALONZO REMINGTON Remington, who unfortunately was prevented from fulfilling his intention of attending our recent reunion, reports merely that his home and business address is Great Barrington, Mass., and that his only child now living is a son. Reference to previous records shows that this son was born November 24, 1899, and that Rem- ington's only other child — an earlier son— born January 6, 1897, died March 15, 1898. BASIL NORRIS RICKETTS "Bas" has never married. During the past five years he has not been engaged in business, and has been living in New York City. His address is 156 West 45th Street in that place. To "Bum" Brownlee, we are indebted for the address, as, when "Bas" relin- quished his former address, he failed to advise your secretary, and then "Bum" came to the rescue. EDMUND YARD ROBBINS If Robbins were not one of the best men in the class, your secre- tary would break his neck. (Any Greek or Latin word may be inserted in place of the dash.) The physical conception of "Absolute inertia" moves like an express train compared with Rob- bins, when he answers class circulars. However, when his answers come, they are well worth reading. In reply to some fifty million requests, he has written as follows : "Nothing new since 1904 except a bald spot on top of my head. I am still married, still alive, Mrs. Robbins ditto ; we have no children. I am still a Professor of Greek at Princeton, and am not eager for any change in 'the nature of my business'. My publica- tions have been critical reviews of technical work in my own subject. I note that your 'examination paper' contains fourteen questions. No Princeton student ever answers more than ten, — unless with {he phrase 'Lack of time'. But, contrary to precedent, I do want to say at this opportunity, how great a pleasure to me this reunion was. I am sure it was equally so to every man who came. We must have all of '89 back at the 25th. If the absent ones could realize the spirit of true fellowship that marked this reunion they would know that they could not afford to miss the next." THOMAS M. ROE Roe was a bit slow in answering; and, while waiting for his reply, your secretary endeavored to obtain information concerning Roe from the Headquarters of the United States Marine Corps. The Colonel's report contains one item not mentioned in the fol- lowing letter from Roe, but, of interest, because it completes Roe's military record as set forth in our fifteenth year volume. The report shows that Roe left the United States Marine Corps service, in good standing, on August 5, 1905, receiving his discharge at the Annap- olis, Maryland, Barracks. On the same day that this report was received from Washington, came the following letter from Roe, dated at Reading, Pa. His letter reads: "Sorry to keep you waiting. I will hurriedly try to answer the questions contained in your circular. 1. Book Dept., Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Reading, Pa. 2. No. 166 Clymer St., Reading, Pa. 3. Clerking in Book Dept., D., P. & S., Reading, Pa. 4. I am still single, and consequently that covers answer to questions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 10. I have held no official positions since June, 1904. .64 i/' 11. I have received no scholastic degrees since June, 1904. 12. I have published no books or pamphlets since June, 1904. 13. I have patented no mechanical inventions or processes since June, 1904. ^ PHILIP ASHTON ROLLINS To the ten or twelve of you who have any sense of decency about replying to circulars, and yet, to all of you, despite your fiendish slowness, my love goes out. — Borituri salutamus. 1909 finds me, as did 1904, a member of the law firm of RolHns & Rollins, whose office is at No. 32 Nassau Street, New York City. My house address continues to be No. 28 East 78th Street, in the same city. This satisfies such of the first twelve questions as may not be answered by the word "none". To make specific reply to the 13th question — in the spring of 1905, I invented a fossil liver. It would not work in this longitude, so, in the summers of 1905 and 1906, I took it to Carlsbad, and, for eight weeks in each year, played I was an aquarium. Finally the bilious devil was drowned, and later I dried out. The next summer, I spent in a trip to Spitzbergen and in Norway and Switzerland. A short hunting trip in the fall of 1908, and a motor trip this last spring in Algeria and Tunisia complete my catalogue of office absences. I had arranged to go this spring to Japan, but cancelled my passage, in order that I might be home in time to bring out the record before the reunion. Accordingly, I took the much shorter trip to Northern Africa. It was a great disappointment to find that less than a third of the class had responded to the circular, when I landed in New York. Save for the travels specified above, my five years past have been spent in ill-advising corporations. In concluding, I add that, if some of you prove as slow in an- swering the last trump as you have in responding to the class secre- tary's notices, the Judgment Day will have to be adjourned sine die. Selah ! THOMAS HENRY POWERS SAILER "Sinbad" may not be tall enough to reach the average post-box, but, somehow or other, he succeeds, at each reunion, in getting his 65 letter into the return mail, and his letter is always well worth reading. This time he writes: "My answers to the questions in your circular are as follows: 1. 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City. 2. Englewood, N. J. 3. Educational Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of For- eign Missions. A principal part of this work is the promotion of a systematic study of missions among the young people of the church. Last year we had over 1200 classes reported and nearly 15,000 members. I am also just taking up a correspondence with mission- aries engaged in educational work, advising with them on educa- tional problems. 6. Agnes — daughter — ^born September 9, 1904, at Englewood, N.J. 8. One. 9. Two. 10. I have continued to be educational secretary of the Board, 12. A booklet of about 150 pages, on the teaching of missions; also some smaller pamphlets on the same subject. 14. For the last five years my life has been as unspectacular as a Howells novel. My work involves a certain amount of speaking at conventions, summer conferences, colleges, etc., and leading normal classes. The reading which is required on missionary and educa- tional subjects is especially interesting, and I have been taking a course or two at Columbia each year in order to keep up with the times in educational lines. I have text books to edit for the study of missions, and articles and pamphlets to write. For exercise I. play tennis and squash, and occasionally condescend to lick Speer just to show him that he is not equally great in all lines. Bobby and I live no further apart than Teddy Hewitt can drive a golf ball when he is on his game. Our boys play together, are in the same class in school, and will probably be classmates at Princeton. The only other '89 men whom I have met more than casually since last reunion are, A. H. Barr, with whom I have had some very pleasant visits in Detroit, and Hughes." "Sinbad" has had one son (born August 24, 1898) and two daughters born respectively June 17, 1896, and September 9, 1904), all of whom are living. 66 \ WILLIAM HEDGES SCOFIELD V "Billy's" record is : "I am in receipt of your circular letter and take pleasure in answering at once, for I have not lost interest in my classmates', even though it has not been my good fortune to see many of them during the past ten years. I. Waverly, New York. 2. 3. Treas. of The A. H. Thomas Paint Co. until Jan. ist, 1908, engaged in the manufacture and sale of paints and varnishes. Since that date have been in the Investment Security business; handling the Bonds of Jimmie Thorpe's operations in the vicinity of Denver. 5. Nov. 4th, 1907. Waverly, N. Y. Edna Carohne Mixer. 6. 7- 8. One. 9-14. ." WILLARD BLOSSOM SEGUR "Bill" Segur hath much the figure of an orange, but, in the slang of the day, he is "no lemon". Spherical "Bill" says : "Although I have nothing of interest to give except the simple answers to your questions, still they will help complete your sta- tistics. Princeton once — Princeton always, and while I rarely see any of the fellows, any word concerning the University or '89 in particular is eagerly sought by me." Then follow certain statistical entries, which collectively tell us that "Bill" is still practicing medicine at Enfield, Mass., and that, in the last five years, there have been no additions to his family. While "Bill" has had no children of his own, the adopted son men- tioned in the decennial record is still living. "Bill" rolled into the reunion. A reunion and his presence always are coincident. IRENAEUS MAYBERRY SHEPHERD "Shep", alias "Muldoon", a bachelor physician, briefly states that No. 188 South Broad Street, Trenton, New Jersey, is the number 67 \ both of his house and of his ofifice, and impHes that, at this address, he still writes prescriptions for the biHous and other unfortunates. He adds that he anticipates no change in his address, unless his native State sees fit to put a tax on bachelors, "in which event I may jump the State". To every other question he answers "None". JOHN ELIOT SHRADY "Doc" is not a bit more married than is "Muldoon". He is a bit more discursive than "Billy" Paxton, but not much more so. He tells us merely that both his friends and his patients may find him at No. 78 East 79th Street, New York City, and that, in addition to his private practice, he is Attending Physician at St. Francis Hospital in New York City. Exclusive of his address, "Doc" spread his letter out into six words, but cut down their length somewhat by using contractions. I HENRY DORR SILL Dr. Henry Dorr Sill died of typhoid fever at his home in Coop- erstown, N. Y., on January 11, 1909. Born at Cooperstown October 20, 1866, educated at its public school, and later at St. John's School at Manlius, N. Y., he entered Princeton in the fall of 1885, and graduated with the degree of B.S. in Jime, 1889. He graduated, in June, 1892, from the College of Physicians and Surgeons ; and, after serving an interneship at St. Francis Hospital in New York, he returned in 1893, ^o his native town, to undertake the practice of his profession. Fifteen years of the most devoted service that a man could give to any community served to win, not only the esteem and affection of his townspeople, but also a like position in the hearts of all those who knew him. A simple enumeration of the positions he held testifies to the fulness of an active and successful life. At the time of his death he was a Vestryman of Christ Church and Superintendent of its Sunday School, President of the local Y. M. C. A., a Director of the Second National Bank of Coopers- 68 HENRY DORR SILL town, a Trustee of the Orphans House of the Holy Saviour, Sur- geon of the Thanksgiving Hospital, which latter institution he was largely instrumental in developing, and President of the Otsego County Medical Society. Wide and effective as were his public activities, his memory will be treasured still more for the self sacrificing devotion of his private life, and for his widespread charity. Hard driven by his sense of duty, he never spared himself or his means, when there was suffer- ing to which he could minister, or misery that he might relieve. That'he was loved by his townsmen would appear from the fact that, on the day of his funeral, all the Cooperstown stores were closed, and, as -the procession moved through the streets, all the church bells of the village were tolled. Henry never married, and, throughout his professional life, he and his sister lived together in the house of their childhood. The memory of their unselfish, mutual devotion will be always a bene- diction to her. The class adopted the following resolution : » "We are taught to honor our father and our mother, that our days may be long. The life led by Henry Sill was a constant honoring of his father and his mother. While his death, in his forty-third year, made his days numerically few, his ordering of them made them long. A Hfe crowded with generosity, a life nobly spent, a life ended, solely because exhausted in good works, can not be short, however soon it end. Graduating from Princeton with our respect and love, he died, full in the possession of a professional standing, of which we, his classmates, are justly proud. We place our tribute on his bier, and extend our loving sympathy to his sister, to his associates in charitable institutions, and to the many who now live, because his skill prolonged their lives." J. CONDIT SMITH No member of the class will be surprised, on recalling "Pete's" fondness for the national game, to learn that his present business address is Ball Ground, Georgia. Hov,^ever, this name is a mis- nomer, for, at this place, "Pete" is engaged in coal mining. His home address is 1814 Jefferson Place, Washington, D. C. (>9 From his letter, we obtain the sad news that his wife died in 1905. He has had no children. In concluding, Pete says that one matter connected with his life during the last five years which is of great interest is the fact that his conduct has been extremely good. -1/ LEWIS MUDGE SMITH "Lew" is Manager and Treasurer of the Engineering Construc- tion Company, a general contracting concern, and has his office at No. 407 Coal Exchange, Scranton, Pa. His house address is No. 512 Elm Street, Dunmore, Scranton, Pa. He has had but one child, and that a son, William Gibbons Smith (born March 29, 1906) and now alive. His letter concludes : "Our contracting business has carried me mostly into the field of steel bridge erection. We are just finishing a contract with the Delaware & Hudson Company, placing all the bridges on their Q., M. & S. extension in Canada, the feature of this work being the assembling of 50-ton lattice trusses and placing them, on the piers without the use of the usual false work. This was accomplished by means of a large steel traveler owned and operated by our Cf)mpany." WILLIAM WALTER SMITH Doc", characterized on the letterhead of the Sunday School Commission of the Diocese of New York as "Rev. Wm. Walter Smith, M.A., M.D., Gen'l Sec'y, 416 Lafayette St., New York", apparently has something to do to keep him busy. He writes : "A brief, but epitomized letter. I depend upon you to enlarge it and put it into running English. I am so busy that I can scarcely call my soul my own. I venture to send much printed data to you under other cover, for you to digest. You can judge the work I am still iti. Circular enclosed will show my position. Letter head my address. My home address as before, 30 West 128th St., The Penrose. Married, June 28, 1905, to Miss Maud Parsons Canfield, St. James Church, Fordham, New York City. No children. 'Too busy.' Queries 10-14 answered by enclosed pamphlet. I fear I cannot get to Princeton, in spite of wanting to, as I shall almost 70 certainly be travelling out of New York at that time. I cover about 14,000 miles a year, organizing, etc., in the Forward Movement of the Sunday School, so that I am on the road a good deal. With our big $40,000 a year business, teacher-training, organizing, editing books and our periodical, handling nearly 2,000 schools of our Church, besides Pres., Cong., M. E., Bapt., Luth., and even Jews and R. C, practically making the entire Sunday School Movement, I am on a perfect whirl of nervous rush, till I have almost never even an evening free. Give my regards to the boys." The circular to which "Doc" refers shows that he is "A.B., A.M. (Princeton) ; M.D. (College of Physicians and Surgeons, Colum- bia) ; General Theological Seminary ; Graduate Student in Teachers' College (Columbia University) ; General Secretary of the Sunday School Federation of the Church; Secretary of the Sunday School Commission, Diocese of New York; Secretary of the New York Sunday School Association; Author of 'The History and Use of the Prayer Book,' 'Christian Doctrine', 'The Making of the Bible', 'From Exile to Advent', 'Sunday School Teaching"* 'Rehgious Education, a comprehensive Text Book", and various other works, some of which are mentioned in our quindecennial record. In order to get through his each day's work, "Doc" has had to train himself to use a knife and fork in his sleep. ROBERT ELIOT SPEER "Bob" is absent in South America. Through the kindness of Mrs. Speer and of a certain T. H. P. Sailer, your secretary has obtained the following information : "Bob's" business address is 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City, where is his office as Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of For- eign Missions. His home address is Englewood, N. J. The only changes in "Bob's" family in the last five years have been as follows : On August 4, 1906, one of his then two daugh- ters (born respectively November 20, 1900, and May 5, 1903) died, while on November 9, 1907, another daughter was born. His living children are, accordingly, one son (born November i, 1898) and two daughters. "Bob's" present trip to South America is made, pursuant to the Board of Foreign Mission's policy to have its various missions visited from time to time by its Secretaries. Speer sailed May 5, 71 1909, for Brazil, whence his work takes him, in addition to inland trips, down the Atlantic coast to Buenos Ayres, thence, through the Straits of Magellan, to Chili, and home, via Peru, Colombia, and possibly Guatemala. He expects to arrive home about Decem- ber ist of the present year. GORMLY J. SPROULL No. I Madison Avenue and Freeport, Long Island, N. Y., are reported by "Gorm" to be respectively his office and home addresses. At the former address he practices law; and, at the latter address, he neither has nor has had either wife or child. Gormly was one of those who made the last reunion a success. THOMAS SPROULL "Tom", who, with his brother "Gorm" (above), is a partner in the well-known New York law firm of Sproull, Harmer & Sproull, briefs his record thus : "Replying to your recent request for information for the Class Record, would say that my business address is as above, and my home address Freeport, Long Island, wtih no anticipated change of either. I am still practicing law and am not married. 'Nothing doing' in regard to the other matters asked about." The "as above" is No. i Madison Avenue, New York City. FRANCIS LANSING STEBBINS Stebbins' letter answers the questions asked on the printed cir- cular, and gives additional information requested from him. His letter reads : "Will give you the old information first. I was married to Mrs. Elise d'Espinville Picot, of Philadelphia, in Syracuse, N. Y., on March 2, 1898. Have had one child, boy, born September 10, 1904. I. 385 Main St., Geneva, N. Y. 2. 3. Physician and surgeon. 5. Was married in due and ancient form in '98 and haven't found it necessary to repeat the ceremony since. 6. Boy. The same one spoken of above. Not twins. 7. None. 72 8. One. 9. None, and never had any. 10. None. 11. None. 12. None. 13. None. 14. My life for the past five years has been quite interesting to me, but as to the last part of the question — I don't believe a word of it, so will 'shut up'." In another communication, Stebbins says : "You know, I often feel as if I didn't really belong to '89, as I was at Princeton so short a time. I really was counting on going to this reunion, if only to represent, if possible, dear old 'Rats', as the boys used to call my brother. If I do not get there, kindly remember me to all the fellows, especially 'Sid Furst' and 'Waddy', and tell 'Bobby' Speer that T am still as 'lazy' as ever, but have grown fat on it." When Stebbins attends our next reunion, he will &id that his suggestion of the dependency of his welcome on our love for his brother was not well founded. JOHN DeWITT STERRY This from "Jack" : "In reply to your circular containing inquiries for class record: (i) 79 Pine Street, New York City. (2) 21 West 74th Street, New York City. (3) Importer crude drugs. (4) Nothing doing. (5) The same, with nothing on the side. (6) Time will tell. (7) See Em. (8) Unknown. (9) No returns have reached me. (10) Same as No. 4. (11) None, so far as I know. (12) Same as No. 4. (13) Making money, but have abandoned this broad path. (14) Same as No. 4." 73 CHARLES WADHAM STEVENS "Waddy", the class "Catologist", sends this letter: "There is very little of interest that I can add to what I wrote you for the 1904 record. I am still associated with my father at the same old stand and sincerely hope to continue so for many years. No wife as yet and no prospects of one. I have, however, some- what extended my field of work, as, for the last four years, I have transferred my office for two months of the summer to Portland, Me., and if any '89 men wander Down East during July or August they will find me hard at work at 732 Congress St., where I can give them unHmited information as to the beauties of Casco Bay and the surrounding country. I am anticipating a great' time at the reunion and hope to get there early and stay late." DUNCAN WARREN TAYLOR "Dune" writes : "Here are the answers you want" (and they are) : "i. Care Colgate & Co., 55 York St., Jersey City, N. J. 2. 455 West 7th St., Plainfield, N. J. 3. Superintendent of factory of Colgate & Co. 4 5 One son, Henry Warren Taylor (born Oct. 4, 1904), and one daughter, Alice Cleveland Taylor (born April 4, 1908). 7. One daughter, Alice C. Taylor (died Dec. 12, 1908), Plain- field, N. J. 8. Two sons" (born respectively March 24, 1901, and October 4, 1904). "9. One daughter" (born March 4, 1900). "10. II. 12. 13- 14. years." "Dune" has had only the four children mentioned above. The unending thanks of the class are due to Mr. Chemist Taylor 74 Member of Common Council, Plainfield. None None. None. Nothing particular has happened to me during the last five ior his manufacture and presentation to the various members of the class of certain pasteboard boxes containing preparations such as would, if used, keep their hands clean and aid in the removal of their whiskers. WALTER CERRE TAYLOR "Petie" reports that he may be found in St. Louis, Mo., either at his office, No. 21 12 Locust Street, or at his house. No. 3800 Delmar Boulevard. The last five years, he has been engaged in the whole- saling of proprietary remedies, and also, under the charter name "Walter C. Taylor Realty Company", in dealing in real estate. He tells us that his wife died April 5, 1907, and that he has had no children. Answering the loth to the 14th questions, "Petie" tells us that his only official_ position, since June, 1904, has been prompter in a deaf mute asylum; that, during this period, he has received the degrees of C. Q. D., P. D. Q. and Q. E. D. ; has published certain Sash books and check books ; has produced a fishing fly known as the "Taylor Belle", and has "been fishin' ". JOHN ALVIN TERHUNE Millertown, N. Y., is the address of "Jack" Terhune, from which place comes this, his letter: "Enclosed find list of questions with accompanying answers. The facts are about the same as in 1904. I am pastor of the same church which I have served for the past -eight years, and there have been no changes in my immediate family since the publication of our last class record. I do not know that I will be able to be present at the reunion ; if liot, it will be only the second time since our graduation. The last time I was at Princeton was last fall at the Yale game. Whenever I think of our Alma Mater, a longing comes over me to get back to the old scenes so dear to every Princeton man. If I am not present at the reunion, give my love to all the fellows." "Jack" has had two children, both sons (born respectively De- cember 2'j, 1892, and June 30, 1900), and both now living. 75 v DEAN THOMPSON Dean Thompson, five years ago, wrote of "Single Blessedness". Now, he states : "1 was married August 19, 1908, at Allentown, New Jersey, to Miss Ethel L.ouise Parker." Dean is still associated with his father, under the name of "J. Bergen Thompson & Son", in the business of greenhouse products. His business address is Corner of Lawrence and Webb Avenues,, Ocean Grove, N. J., while his house address is Corner of Franklin and Lawrence Avenues, Ocean Grove, N. J. His letter reads : "I haven't lost interest in the plucky old class,, but find life strenuous and business demands great just at reunion time." JAMES RUGGLES THORPE Big-hearted, big-natured old "J™" Thorpe brought from Denver something which, throughout our reunion, gave it a snap and zest. That something was "Jennie Thrapp". "Jim", alias "Jennie", writes that 404-407 Colorado Building, Denver, Colorado, is his office address, and that his house bears the- street number 1152 Race Street, Denver, Colorado. "Jim's" busi- ness is still "Investment securities". He has had no children. SAMUEL SKIDMORE THORPE "Sadie Thrapp" got aboard the train at Minneapolis, with a. through ticket to Princeton and about five hundred tons of con- tagious good nature and Princeton spirit. "Sadie" appeared at headquarters, before the reunion officially cornmenced, and dumped the whole five hundred tons into the middle of the reunion and it stayed there while the reunion lasted. In automobile parlance,, "Sadie's" own "emergency tank" was so effective, that he could* give away his entire five hundred ton consignment, and still have- left, for his own use, so much enthusiasm and warm-heartedness that he never "missed an explosion". Here is his examination paper: "Answering your circular printed letter I will take up the ques- tions in order. (i) Still at 512 Nicollet Ave., Andrus Building, Minneapolis,. Minn., where we have been for the last ten years. (2) Living at 1106 Mt. Curve Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. (3) In the general real estate and mortgage loan business and have been since 1889. (4) Wife is living, very much so. (5) Married before 1904 and still married. (6) Two children born since 1904, boy and girl. (7) All children living, no deaths in family since my marriage. (8) Three sons living. Oldest (born July — , 1900) to be member of Class of 1922. (9) One daughter living. (10) No wonderful official positions. Two terms president of Real Estate Board, always active in its committees, served on Water Commission for the City, besides serving on a jury and spending two days on a dog case. (11) Nothing doing. (12) Real estate advertisement mostly. (13) No mechanical inventions, but pumping up tires or polish- ing up the carburator. % (14) Nothing special except that we have been very much engrossed in quite large real estate operations, some in Oregon, some in Florida, mostly, however, in Minneapolis. Always glad to see an '89 man in Minneapolis and latch string is out and glad hand here for any who will do the honor of calling me up when in Minne- apolis." DAVID RIPLEY TODD L'^^^ "Dave" writes : "Present business address, 103 Park Avenue, New York City. Present home address, 235 West 103rd St., New York City. Now, and since June, 1904, engaged in the business of real estate and building. Never married. Since June, 1904, no official positions, degrees, publications or inventions." "Dave", at present, is building a bank balance. I JOHN REYNARD TODD I ^ John reports his business to be now the same as it was in 1904, i. e. "Real estate operating". This means making incisions in the public and inserting in the wound mud to take the place of the gold extracted. 77 John writes that his present business address is No. 320 Fifth Avenue, New York City, and that his present house address is Summit, N. J. He tells us that there have been no additions to his family since June, 1904, and that his children have been, and are, one son (born August 27, 1899) 3-rid one daughter (born June i, 1896). To this daughter. Miss Frances Bray Todd, now thirteen years of age, the class of '89 tenders its abject apologies, for the reason that, at page 94 of our quindecennial record, she appeared as one of "2 sons". FREDERIC CROSBY TORREY Torrey's address, both business and social, is Lakehurst, Ocean County, N. J., where he is engaged in the business of "Real estate". His only child has been a daughter, Ruth Ware Torrey, born Jan- uary 28, 1905, and now living. Torrey was prevented from attend- ing the reunion which, he said, was the more disappointing from the fact that Lakehurst was so near to Princeton, he being "so near and yet so forth". MARCH GONZALES TURNER March Turner left Princeton at the end of first term in our freshman year. The brother of our Dix recently met him in Europe, and learned that Turner has married, is not engaged in business, and spends the major portion of his time in Europe, making his headquarters at the Hotel Beau Sejour, Lausanne, Switzerland, but occasionally returning to Wilkesbarre, Pa., to look after his investment interests. Some three years ago, your secretary, while in Italy, discovered, in a local paper, that, some weeks before, a "March G. Turnero, Americano", had won a Swiss tennis tournament. A flying trip to Switzerland discovered no one who could locate Turner. Turner has not answered your secretary's letters, although, ap- parently, they have reached him. Had he known the spirit in which they were sent, he would have answered. y CHARLES FREDERICK UEBELACKER With all that "Uebe" has accomplished in his professional career, nothing that he has designed compares, in efficiency, with his en- thusiasm for Princeton and his devotion to '89. These two elements in his makeup are hard at work twenty-five out af every twenty- 78 four hours. If "Uebe" ever reports that it will be impossible for him to attend a reunion, the class should at once go into the hands of a receiver. "Uebe" sends the following letter : "My present business address is 115 Broadway, New York, c/o Ford, Bacon & Davis; with no prospect of change. My present home address is Summit Avenue, Hackensack, N. J. ; with no anticipated change. Now and since June, 1904, I have been engaged almost entirely on financial and engineering reports on Public Service Corporations. My wife is still alive. I have had no children born to me since June, 1904. Neither of my children have died. I have now living two sons" (born respect- ively June 17, 1894, and January 29, 1899) "and no daughters. I have occupied no official positions since June, 1904; nor have I taken any degrees or published any books. Do not recollect having taken out any patents in that time. The summer of the year 1904, when I saw you all in Princeton in June, I spent looking after the engineering work of Ford, Bacon & Davis, whose Chief Engineer I have been since 1902. The year of 1905 I spent almost entirely in Chicago assisting the officials of the Chicago Railway Company in their franchise nego- tiations with the City. The year of 1906 and the early part of 1907 I spent in Pittsburgh and New York, working over the report on the financial and en- gineering features of the Pittsburgh Street Railways electric light and gas situation. The winter of 1907 and 1908 I spent mostly in Chicago, working on the problem of increasing the capacity of the Union Elevated Loop, and other minor matters that came up in connection there- with. Since April, 1908, I have been acting as Chief Engineer for the Receivers of the Metropolitan Street Railway Co., still, however, retaining my position as Chief Engineer with the firm of Ford, Bacon & Davis." CORNELIUS DOREMUS VAN WAGENEN In order that "Jim" Denegre may not feel that the Noah Cup (for "Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, 79 Ham and Japheth") is certainly to be won by him, the class secre- tary, acting for and on behalf of the "Band Wagon", hereby notifies the said "Jim" Denegre that the said "Band Wagon" is as yet unmarried and not even committed to be given in matrimony. But let "Bandy" speak for himself, which he does in a letter dated at Atlantic City : "I send you herewith answers to your questions for the class record. Having had but one month of vacation in ten years, I have taken a six months' leave of absence from my various professional positions and am devoting it to recreation. There is nothing much to add to the record for the past five years except this fact. There is to be a meeting of the American Medical Association here next week and I will probably remain here until its close, when I will probably return to town for a few days at least. My plans for the summer are quite uncertain, as is also my presence at the reunion. If I do not show up remember me to all the boys. As specific answers : Office, 6i6 Madison Avenue, cor. 58th Street, New York City. Home, 302 West 78th Street, New York City. Business, Physician ; Specialty, Nose, Throat and Ear ; no prospective change. Official positions, Assistant Surgeon Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital ; Clinical Assistant Vanderbilt Clinic, Col. P. & S. ; Fel- low New York Academy of Medicine." PERRY WALTON Five years from now. Perry's temporary address will be '89 Headquarters, Princeton, N. J., or else the Walton Advertising & Printing Company will be without a head. This of the future. Of the past and present, we learn from Perry's letter that — "My present business address is 15 Exchange Street, Boston, Mass. My home address is Belmont, Mass. My business for the last four years has been general advertising under the name of the Walton Advertising & Printing Co. I was married in June, 1904, at Orange, N. J. The maiden name of my wife was Mabel King- man. I have a little girl three years old." Perry has had no other child. I HOWARD CROSBY WARREN This is the person who understands why you forget your um- brellas and why you never answer class notices. It is the undying 80 wish of your class secretary that the anti-vivisectionists may never obtain such power, as will save some of the class from Howard's laboratory. From the Psychological Laboratory at Princeton, Howard writes : "Let me unveil myself to you as follows : 1. Princeton University, Princeton, N. J. (business address). 2. 133 Library Place, Princeton, N. J. (The only change I anticipate is to the graveyard, which I do not contemplate imme- diately. ) 3. Business : teaching, with editorial work on the side. 4-5. Married April 5, 1905, to Catherine Campbell, of Indiana, in the city of New York. 6 to 9. None. 10, 11. None. 12. I have continued to be (jointly with Mark Baldwin, '84) editor of the Psychological Review, Psychological Bulletin, and Psychological Index, in which I have published several articles, and I have compiled and published annually a bibliography^ of psychol- ogy which no one has ever found very exciting reading. I have also contributed to and edited a sporadic publication called Princeton Contributions to Psychology. 13. None. 14. Since our last meeting I have been happily married and have found a permanent home of my own opposite the homes of Fred Neher and Robbins. We hope to see most of the Class there this June, and will welcome the remainder as they drift in from time to time. As you may guess from (12) most of my teaching is in the line of psychology. I am now head of the psychological laboratory here." Howard has, in Mrs. Warren, an able associate in the chair of "entertaining", which they jointly and temporarily assumed on the Monday of our reunion week. Every man at the reunion elected this course, which consisted of a garden party, and from which everyone graduated with a high degree of pleasure. \ BERTRAM HOWARD WATERS ^ "Bert", sometimes known as "Minnehaha, Laughing Waters", •sends the following prescription : "In response to your urgent request for information I send the following : 81 1. The Clendening, 202 West 103rd St., New York City. 2. The Clendening, 202 West 103rd St., New York City. 3. Physician. In general practice, especially interested in Tu- berculosis. 5. Married Miss Jessica Howard Buck, September 4th, 1906, at Saint Ignatius Church, New York City. 6. No children. 10. Assistant Chief of Division, Division of Communicable Dis- eases, Department of Health, New York City; Chief of Clinic, Tuberculosis Clinic, Department of Health, New York City; In- structor and Chief of Clinic, Department of Phthisiotherapy, New York Post-Graduate Medical School; Lecturer on Tuberculosis, Department of Health, New York State. 11. None. 12. Some contributions to the current Medical Journals. 13. None. 14. I believe there is nothing of general interest, except perhaps that I have been, as I said, much interested in the campaign against Tuberculosis, in the City and State, and have, I hope, 'helped some'." STEPHEN KELLOGG WATTS "Steve" Watts lives at Glen Ridge, N. J., and, as selling agent of the "Brighton Manufacturing Company, Cotton Goods", has his office at 43 Leonard Street, New York City. "Steve" has had, in all, one son (born September 18, 1904) and two daughters (born respectively April i, 1897, and October 29, 1900), all of whom are living. THOMAS WHITE i/ .... "Tom" maps his present, and his recent history, in this manner: "I have for acknowledgment your circular requesting that I reply to certain definitely outlined queries, which are plainly numbered, and in reply to same let me submit replies as follows : 1. My present business address is 711 Sansome Street, San Francisco, California. 2. Home address is 171 6 Pacific Avenue, San Francisco, Cali- fornia. 3. I am manager of the Pacific Department (San Francisco 82 Office) of the Sanborn Map Company of New York. As for pro- spective changes, I have none. 4. My wife is still living, still healthy and still attractive, as ever. 5. Inasmuch as I was married before 1904 I need not offer an answer thereto. 6. We have no children. 7. Can be answered by referring to No. 6; as can also Nos. 8 and 9. 10. Same position as is outlined in query No. 3. 11. No scholastic degrees have I achieved or sought. 12. I have not written or published any books or pamphlets. 13. I have not invented or patented any mechanical contrivances or processes. 14. As for other facts connected with my life during the past five years, I scarcely know how to begin a recital of such, for nothing but success and happiness has attended me |jnce I have recovered my health, and when I say this I think it conveys a meaning which everyone will understand and appreciate, especially those who may have suffered and denied for years as I did. Replying to your penned postscript concerning the place of my marriage, on September 26, 1903, will say that the event occurred in Christ Episcopal Church, Chicago." "Tom" and his wife went to Princeton the day immediately pre- ceding our recent reunion, but unfortunately were called away by business and could not return. "Tom" must spend the next five years in remembering the date, June, 1914, and in preparing a map of the shortest route to Princeton. 4 THOMAS BROWN WHITNEY Immediately below this present paragraph will be found a letter from a man who, in 1914, must reach Princeton either by surface route, by tunnel or by sub-aqueous methods. Which way is imma- terial, so long as he arrives. "i. 1015 Betz Building, Philadelphia, Pa. 2. 1627 Summer Street, Philadelphia, Pa. 3. Am interested in an iron foundry in Tennessee. 4-9. Have never married. 10. During 1906 and 1907 was in Engineering Department,. 83 Penna. Tunnel & Terminal Co., New York, construction of sub- aqueous tunnels for Penna. R. R. between New York and Weehaw- ken under Hudson River, 11-13. None. 14. During the past five years I have spent considerable time in the southern states, Tennessee and South Carolina especially, on family business. I also lived for nearly two years in New York and had an interesting engineering experience in sub-aqueous tun- neling. I spent several thousand hours in compressed air work under the Hudson, a strange and valuable experience." LOUIS WILDMAN WICKHAM Thus saith Wickham: "Your several letters received, and I owe you as many apologies for my neglect. I had hoped until the last few days to be able to say that I would be present with the class at Princetorrt but busi- ness engagements prevent. My love to all the boys and I wish you all a bully time. Answering your questions : 1. Merrit Block, Nor'walk, Ohio. 2. 237 Benedict Avenue, Norwalk, Ohio. 3. Attorney at Law. / 6. Daughter — Annabelle (born July 9, 1907). 8. One" (born April 8, 1900). "9. Three" (born respectively June 25, 1893, Feb. 23, 1895, and July 9, 1907). "10. Was prosecuting attorney, Huron County, Ohio, until Janu- ary I, 1909." Through a typographical error, at page 95 of our quindecennial record, Wickham was credited with four daughters and two sons. He has had but four children in all. ARTHUR DIX WINDSOR "Section Thirty Oil Company, (Coalinga Oil Fields), 505 Hiber- nia Building, San Francisco, Cal, A. D. Windsor, President", is the letterhead on which comes the following letter from Windsor : "Dave Bovaird, wrote me a few days ago that I had better show up at the reunion ; now I want Dave and all the class to know that nothing would make me happier than to see every one of you again at good old Princeton. I know the reception I would get and I sincerely would enjoy seeing the old University, my heart and thoughts will be with '89 on the day. Good luck to all and count me in at the reunion five years from now, God permitting. In answer to the circular will state my present business address is Coalinga, Cal., and the Mechanics Bank Building, San Francisco, Gal, Room 309. My home address is Brocton, N. Y. Business, 'law; also in the oil business. I am not married, nor have I written any books, or invented any- thing." Windsor, at the time of the compilation of each record, modestly always says that he has nothing of interest to report. However, in the last twenty years he has traveled much in this country, and has seen much ; and none of the class will forget the event reported in our Triennial Record. This event was as follows. In June, 1892, by a flood of water coated with burning oil, a number of the inhabitants of Titusville, Pa., became marooned on an island. From this island, was stretched a rope to the main shore, ay successive trips hand over hand along this rope, Windsor, unassisted, rescued six persons. He made this effort, only after, with the assistance of other men, he had succeeded in saving numerous lives. He fainted from exhaustion, but not until his work was done. To get this sort of a man back to our next reunion, the class should go to the length of appointing a vigilance committee. WILUAM CRAYTON WINTON Winton is Secretary and Treasurer of S. G. Knox and Gompany, trading in pine, hardwood and farm lands, as well as wholesale deal- ers in lumber and logs. The unfortunate interference of business kept him from our reun- ion, but we have, to fill a very small part of the space which he him- self- should have occupied, the following letter: "In regard to the questions would answer as follows. 1. 102 Palladio Building, Duluth, Minn. 2. 1509 East First St., Duluth, Minn. 3. Timber lands and lumber. 4. Married June 10,, 1891. 8. One" (born January 26, 1896). 8S "9- Two" (born respectively October 6, 1896, and June 27, 1898). "10-14. None. I have planned for a long time on being able to be with you at this reunion, but within the last week some important matters have come up in our business in Alabama and I am sorry to say that I will have to leave for Mobile on June loth, and this will prevent my be- ing able to be with you, and having a mighty good time." Winton has lost no children ; but he lost a good time, by not at- tending our reunion. I/' JAMES EDWARDS WYCKOFF "Wyck" evidently feels that his letter should be no longer than his nickname, and sends the following : "My business address is 54 Wall Street, and my home address is 131 East 39th Street, both in New York City. In fact, there has been no change in my address or in the nature of my business since the last class record was made up, and I really do not think of any- thing that would be of interest for the new record." Every man in our class knew "Wyck's" brother, Walter (Prince- ton '88), by personal association with him in our undergraduate days. In later, years, some of us had the privilege of continuing this personal acquaintance ; while all of us knew him by reputation. His untimely death took from our "Wyck" a loving and a loved brother, from some of us a present and valued friend, and from all of us a man whom we were proud to have associated with the Fac- ulty of Princeton University. 86 STATISTICAL RECORD July i, 1904 — July i, 1909 CLASS ORGANIZATION.

The rear house was used exclusively as a dormitory. In the Uni- versity Place building, were bedrooms, the meals were served, and the class gatherings were held. Although the reunion was not scheduled to commence until Fri- day, June nth, men began to filter into Princeton the preceding day. The first formal event of the reunion was the parade to the Uni- versity Field on Saturday afternoon. The class, weariftg long white whiskers, in recognition of its age, carrying a tiger balloon and the class banner, and preceded by a band, marched in the Alumni pa- rade, and had the pleasure of seeing Princeton defeat Yale at base- ball. A baseball game with '84 had been scheduled for the morning of Monday, June 14th ; and, for this game, "Bill" Paxton had trained more than fifteen minutes. '84 was unable to find any tennis balls sufficiently soft for the purpose of a baseball game, and defaulted. On Monday, at noon, the class photograph was taken on the steps of Nassau Hall, and then the class adjourned to headquarters for the class meeting. The minutes of this meeting appear below. On Monday afternoon, the class attended the two delightful gar- den parties, given respectively by Fred and Mrs. Neher and Howard and Mrs. Warren. On Monday evening, in lieu of a dinner, the class had a formal smoker at its headquarters. At this smoker your class secretary was given a silver loving cup, so that he may be biased in judging of the merits of the smoker. But men of brain and heart, such as Allie Barr, "Sadie" Thrapp and others have written, since the close of the reunion, to your secretary and expressed opinions identical with his own. They and 105 he feel that, not only was this reunion, the spirit of which culmi- nated in the smoker, the best the class ever had, but also a more genuine exhibition of honest comradeship could not obtain. Several members of the class had brought their automobiles to Princeton, and these cars were actively engaged in encouraging other members of the class to renew their acquaintance with the en- virons of the town. When the headquarters closed, on the morning of Wednesday, June 1 6th, there were still standing on the steps men who hesitated to leave. After seeing this recent reunion, every man who attended not only must come back five years from now, but also must use his in- fluence, to persuade those who were absent last June not to repeat their offense in 1914. There were present at the reunion: Alexander, Pete Atkinson, Alf Barr, Belknap, Black, Bonsai, Bovaird, Brownlee, Chase, Con- over, Denegre, Dix, Eggleston, Emans, Ford, Furst, George, Gil- liland, Gulick, Hall, Hotchkiss, Hughes, Hunter, Irons, Jenney, Kat- zenbach, Kauffmann, King, Kneeland, the two McCords, McCul- loch, Mitchell, Mount, Mudge, Neher, Noyes, Paxton, Pemberton, Pershing, Pollison, Rand, Robbins, Rollins, Sailer, Scofield, Segur, Shepherd, Shrady, the two Sproulls, Stevens, Dune Taylor, the two Thorpes, the two Todds, Uebelacker, Warren, Waters and White. The minutes of the class meeting are as follows : The meeting was called to order by President Bovaird. Rollins, as treasurer, reported that he had paid the entire ex- penses of the fifteenth year reunion and of printing the record of that year, aggregating $1,436.64, against which he had collected $1,316.67, leaving a deficit of $119.97; ^^^ that, while this deficit had been added to the previous deficit of the class, it appeared that, at the present reunion, all of these deficits would be made up. As secretary, he made an informal report, in the course of which he said that, in May, 1909, he made an inspection of the grave of Durell, in Rome, Italy, and found that it was in so good a state of preservation that, except for the apparent necessity of painting the iron work some three years hence, there was no present indication of any future demand for repairs. The class determined to hold a reunion at Princeton in June, 1914, and to publish a record in that year. 106 The president then read RolHns' letter of resignation as class sec- retary and treasurer, which resignation was not accepted. The secretary then read the resolution adopted by himself and the class president, in the name of the class, at the time of the death of Henry Sill, and explained that the adoption of such resolution was necessary at the time in order that it might be promptly published in the Cooperstown papers. The action of these officers, as well as the text of the resolution, was unanimously approved by the class. Tom Noyes dehvered a eulogy on Jason Barr, and, at its close, was designated as a committee to draft a formal resolution in the name of the class. The president was authorized to appoint an executive committee consisting of the class officers and four other members, which com- mittee should have all the powers that the class would have at any regular or special meeting convened after due notice. The com- position of this committee appears elsewhere in this volume, under the title "Class Organization". Tom Noyes then made an appeal to the members* of the class, not only to maintain their comradeship with the successful of the class, but to do, at the very least, their pro rata part in extending helpful comradeship to any of the class who, for one reason or an- other, might now have lost, or might hereafter lose, their hold on themselves. For the effectuation of the purposes thus set forth, the president, after due authority given him, appointed as the "Rear Guard Committee" the men whose names appear under the heading of that committee on that page of this volume entitled "Class Or- ganization". Everybody patted everybody else on the back, and the meeting ad- journed. 107 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY'S PROGRESS Arriving at Princeton, either by the Pennsylvania Railroad (now double-tracked from the "Junction"), or by one of the two trolley lines from Trenton, the Rip van Winkle of '89 is confronted by many changes. STUDENTS. The catalogue for the academic year, i9o8-'o9, shows an enroll- ment of 1314 students, divided thus: Graduate School 91, Electrical School 10, Academic Undergraduates 625, Scientific Undergradu- ates 523, Qualifying for regular undergraduate standing 61, Spec- ials 4. ^ This decrease of more than one hundred students, as compared with the figures of five years ago, is due, almost entirely, to the raising of the educational standard of the institution. FACULTY. In 1904, the faculty was composed of 109 professors and instruc- tors. In 1909, the number had been increased to 161. This increase is due to the installation of the "Preceptorial Sys- tem", whereby there has been added to the faculty a number of "Preceptors" or instructors. To the several preceptors in the various subjects, are allotted the students pursuing that subject. Each of the preceptors subdivides his allotment of students into sections, according to the extent of knowledge and bent of mind of the students assigned to him. These sections vary in number from one student up. By intimate personal contact, and so by promptly discovering just what portions of the text books are not understood by the student, by friendly and informal explanation, by directing the student's collateral reading, the preceptor keeps him prepared to meet the requirements of the formal recitations and of the examinations. A student must regularly report to his preceptors, and must do the work specified by them. Otherwise, he is liable, either to be de- 109 barred from examination and so conditioned, or, at the least, to be penalized by the imposition of extra work. All this means that the undergraduates of today are studying more diligently than did the classes of past years, and that a higher standing is demanded of them. Since 1904, Time has been reaping its harvest. There have died Professor Charles Woodruff Shields (August 26, 1904), Henry Clay Cameron (October 26, 1906), S. Stanhope Orris (December 17, 1906), and Charles A. Young (January 2, 1908). In the sum- mer of 1904, Dean Murray's widow passed away ; and, on November 28, 1904, the loved face of dear old Dr. William M. Paxton disap- peared forever from the campus. The death of Dr. Elijah R. Craven, on January 5, 1908, made vacant another Trusteeship, and deprived the University's diplomas of a familiar signature. In 1905, Dennis, known to us as Janitor of Dickinson Hall, and respected by more than fifty successive classes, went to his reward. Professors Packard, Brackett, Mackloskie and Rockwood are now Emeritus. Moved disagreeably near the top of the Faculty List, appear the names of the very much alive, very well, thank you, and very active Warren, Robbins and Neher, Professors, respectively, of Experi- mental Psychology, Greek and Chemistry. This year, a new Deanship has been created, that of the College, its incumbent being Dr. Elliott. "Square", lovable "Harry" Fine, is now Dean of the Scientific School and of the University, and is senior to the other Deanship. Dr. West still continues as Dean of the Graduate School. Let us see what this faculty of 161 members teaches. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. For entrance, one aiming at the A.B. degree must present Greek, Latin, History, English, Mathematics through Plane Geometry, and either French or German, while one intending to pursue either the B.S. or Litt.B. courses must offer these subjects, save only Greek, and, in lieu thereof, Solid Geometry, Plane Trigonometry, either both French and German, or one of these languages and either Chemistry or Physics. An incipient C.E. must present History, English, Mathematics no through Plane Trigonometry, either Physics or Chemistry, and any two of the following languages, Latin, French, German. COURSES OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDY, OTHER THAN C.E. The course of the freshman year is composed of i6 class exercises a week, none of which are elective, and of which, 2 are given to English, 4 to Latin, and 4 to Mathematics. In addition, each A.B. candidate has 4 exercises in Greek and 2 in that one of the modern languages which he ofifered at entrance, while each Litt.B. or B.S. candidate has 3 exercises in the modern language which he offered at entrance, and 3 exercises either in the other modern language (French or German) or in Physics, according as he did or did not offer Physics for entrance. The schedules of every sophomore, junior, and senior, who is a candidate for a Bachelor's degree, consists of 5 courses, each of 3 hours a week, subject only to such exemptions as are established for candidates for "Special Honors" (for exemptions, see below). In sophomore year, the courses are: • For A.B. Degree, "Required", Physics, Logic (ist term), Psy- chology (2d term), Greek (ist term), Latin (2nd term), "Elective" (any 2 courses to be taken) Latin (ist term), Greek (2d term), Chemistry, Mathematics, English (ist term), History (2d term), French, German. For B.S. or Litt.B. Degree, "Required", Latin or Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry, Logic (ist term), Psychology (2d term), "Elective" (any 2 courses to be taken) Latin, Mathematics, Phys- ics, Chemistry, French, German, English (ist term). History (2d term), Graphics (if Mathematics elected). For the purpose of arranging "Electives", all the courses of junior and senior years fall within "Divisions" and "Departments", as fol- lows : A. Division of Philosophy, I, Department of Philosophy, II, Department of History, Politics and Economics ; B, Division of Art and Archaeology, HI, department of Art and Archaeology; C, Division of Language and Literature, Departments of IV, Classics, V, English, Via, Modern Languages, Germanic Section, VIb, Mod- ern Languages, Romanic Section; D, Division of Mathematics and Science, Departments of VII, Mathematics, VIII, Physics, IX, Chemistry, X, Geology, XI, Biology. In addition, there are, in junior year, "Honors" courses in IVa, Classical Humanities, and III Vila, Mathematics and Physics, and also 5 other and isolated courses under Division D, but not included in any of its Depart- ments, and, in senior year, an "Honors" course in Vila, Mathe- matics and Physics and also 4 isolated courses not included in any Department. The student's choice of a Department for junior and senior years is largely conditioned by his selection of electives in sophomore year. Certain sophomore courses are a prerequisite to admission to certain upper-class courses. Each junior must choose a Department in which to concentrate his studies; and must take, not only all the junior year courses of that Department, as indicated in the official list, but also all the courses which are there stated to be cognate to that Department. Three of his five courses must, in all cases, be in the Division in which the elected Department lies, and one course shall be outside of this Division, the remaining course being left to the student's free election. Each senior must continue his studies in a Department in which he has satisfied the junior year requirements, and must take three courses in that Department as indicated in the official list, or, in case three courses are not thus indicated, three of his courses must, in all cases, be in the Division in which his Department lies. All of the foregoing schedules are subject to modification in the case of a student admitted to an "Honors" course. Such a student is spared the necessity of taking certain of the electives specified above, but he must devote the time thus saved him to exercises in his "Honors" course. This coordination of the studies, particularly as had with the "Preceptorial System", is producing graduates, not only clear in thought, but also well grounded for the specialized work in which they engage on graduation. COURSE OF UNDERGRt^DUATE STUDY, C.E. (aLL REQUIRED). The freshman attends exercises 16 hours each week, i. e. Graph- ics (ist term) 2 hours. Geodesy (ist term) i hour and (2d term) 3 hours, and (throughout the year) Enghsh 2 hours. Physics 4 hours, Mathematics 4 hours, Chemistry 3 hours. The sophomore attends exercises 17 hours each week, i. e. Min- eralogy (ist term) 3 hours. Geology (2d term) 3 hours, and (throughout the year) Physics 3 hours, Mathematics 5 hours, Graphics 3 hours, Geodesy 3 hours. The 17 hours weekly exercises of junior year are Analytical Me- chanics 3 hours. Astronomy (ist term) 3 hours, (2d term) 2 hours, Graphical Statics (ist term), 3 hours. Mechanics of Materials (2d term) 4 hours. Geodesy (ist term) 4 hours, (2d term) 5 hours, Graphics (ist term) 2 hours, (2d term) 3 hours, Materials of Con- struction (ist term) 2 hours. The senior's 17 hours of weekly exercises, he divides among Framed Structures (ist term) 5 hours, (2d term) 3 hours, Prime Motors 3 hours. Hydraulics (ist term) 2 hours, Water Works (2d term) 2 hours, Graphics (ist term) 2 hours. Sewerage and Drainage (2d term), 2 hours. Geodesy (ist term) 3 hours. Roads, Masonry Structures and Methods of Construction (each 2d term) each 2 hours. Laboratory (ist term) 2 hours, (2d term) i hour. POST-GRADUATE SCHOOLS. The Graduate School may be entered only by those who^ossess a Bachelor's degree, either from Princeton or an institution of equal standing, or by those who, on examination, show a corresponding amount of preparedness. Its courses lead to the degrees of A.M. (in i year), and Ph.D. (in 2 years). The School of Electrical Engineering gives a two year course, and requires that appHcants for admission either have a Princeton Bach- elors' degree (with satisfactory knowledge of French, German and Mathematics including Calculus and Differential Equations), or have had an equivalent preparation. The survivors of this course are given the degree of E.E. GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. The campus, as we knew it in our undergraduate days, contained about 225 acres, and was bounded, on the north, by Nassau St., on the east, by Washington St., on the south, by the swamp north of the canal, and on the west, by the Pennsylvania Railroad and Railroad Avenue (now called University Place). Since we entered college, the following changes have occurred, the date of the erection of each structure being bracketed after the name of the structure. Of the buildings we knew, as freshmen, all remain, save East College, the Gymnasium, the "Old" Chapel and Whig and Clio Halls. On the sites of the old Halls, now stand new Halls (1893), o^ marble, and larger than the old. East College, and the "Old" Chapel have made way for the Li- brary (1897), built of Longmeadow stone, in the Oxford Gothic style, a hollow quadrangle of about 160 feet square, connected with the old Chancellor Green Library by a delivery room. Its capacity is 1,200,000 volumes, and there now are in the united buildings 240,000 volumes and some 58,000 unbound periodicals and pam- phlets. The Biological Laboratory (1887, brick and terra cotta), and the Dynamo Building (1889, brick) closely adjoin the School of Sci- ence Building on the south, while, facing the rear of that building, and, on the easterly side of Washington St., are the Civil Engineer- ing Laboratory (1904, brick) and the Chemical Laboratory (1891, brick and stone). On the Chapel side of McCosh Walk, running the entire length of the walk, is the large Collegiate Gothic recitation building, Mc- Cosh Hall (1907, Indiana limestone). It is over 400 feet long, and contains i room seating 600 persons, i room seating 400, 4 rooms each seating 75, 4 rooms each seating 65, and 6 rooms each seating 50. The present building forms one side of a contemplated quadrangle. North of the present building, and in the center of the proposed court, is a stone replica of the Turnbull Sun Dial (1907) at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. On the opposite side of McCosh Walk, is the small Magnetic Ob- servatory (1889, brick). South of the Magnetic Observatory are three Gothic buildings. The first of these, a dormitory, Seventy-nine Hall (1904, brick and limestone), faces on Washington Street, with its tower and arch- way opposite the end of Prospect Avenue, and accommodates 48 men. The second building, the Palmer Physical Laboratory (1908, brick and Indiana limestone), lies south of Seventy-nine Hall, is built around three sides of an open court, and contains laboratories, machine shops, lecture, recitation and various other rooms, whose aggregate floor space is approximately two acres. The third build- 114 ing, Arnold Guyot Hall (1909, brick and Indiana limestone), is almost as large as the Palmer Laboratory, and is to be devoted to Geological and Biological work. Between these two buildings, is the Isabella McCosh Infirmary (1892, brick) with its isolation annex (1899). Going back toward the center of the campus, we find, on the west side of and connected with Murray Hall, a larger and Gothic building, Dodge Hall (1900), which contains four prayer meeting rooms, a reading and several committee rooms, and also the apart- ments of the secretary. South of Dodge Hall is the Art Museum (1887, brick and terra cotta), south of it, David Brown Hall (1891, granite and brick), a Florentine Renaissance dormitory containing 50 suites. South of David Brown Hall, is Patton Hall (1906), white Ger- mantown stone), a Gothic dormitory holding 100 men. West of the north end of Patton Hal!, and approximately 1,500 feet from Nassau Street, is a building (1903) occupied by the Uni- versity's power plant. Abutting on the northerly side of this build- ing, at its easterly end, is the Brokaw Building with its swimming tank (1892, stone) and, at its westerly end, the Gymnasium (1903). The Gymnasium is the southernmost of a line of Gothic, white Germantown stone buildings which skirts the westerly side of the campus as far as the Observatory. The Gymnasium contains com- mittee, trophy, and other rooms, an exercising hall (166 x loi feet) replete with apparatus, the dressing and bath rooms being of corre- sponding size and equipment. Connected with the northerly end of the Gymnasium, is Stafford Little Hall (1899 and 1902), a dormitory containing 62 suites. North of this, and running along the irregular boundary of the campus, up to the Observatory, is Blair Hall (1897 and 1907), a dor- mitory, through the arch of whose massive tower, one reaches the railway station. Immediately east of the Observatory, and covering the site of the old Gymnasium, is Campbell Hall (1909), a dormitory, of the same style and material as Blair Hall, and holding 60 men. All the buildings facing on Nassau Street and between University Hall and the First Presbyterian Church have disappeared in the past month, and, in their place, is now going up the Sage Dormi- tory, a Gothic building, to be occupied by freshmen. IIS Between Reunion and Campbell Halls, is Alexander Hall (1892), a granite and brownstone Romanesque building occupied by an aud- itorium devoted to Commencement and other formal exercises. Finally, southeast of Edwards Hall, is Albert B. Dod Hall (1890), a dormitory of granite and limestone, in pseudo-Italian Renaissance style; while, one the northerly side of Nassau Street, opposite the Dean's house and the east end of Nassau Hall respectively, are the Upper and Lower Pyne Buildings (1896). These two dormito- ries are in the half-timbered Chester style. The fence in front of Nassau Hall has been replaced by a mas- sive wrought-iron fence, pierced by the stone Fitz Randolph Gate- way (1905). The glory of the campus, Nassau Hall, is untouched, save that the horrid little cheese boxes at either end of the roof have been removed, and the large room formerly occupied by the museum has been remodeled into a stately apartment for faculty meetings. The lions of imitation bronze will move, this coming fall, from the front steps to the entrance of Seventy-nine Hall. Bronze tigers, the gift of '79» will guard thereafter the door of Nassau Hall. The new Gothic buildings overshadow the old structures, except Nassau Hall, which, important in the excellence of its architecture and the dignity of its traditions, is, and always will be, the focus of the campus. The campus, as a whole, is now in charge of a supervising archi- tect. All future buildings are to be placed, according to a plan devised by himx, and by which a system of quadrangles in the Oxford style will gradually be constructed, all related to the Cannon and North College as their focal centre. This plan contemplates the re- modeling if not the ultimate removal of some of the less pleasing of the buildings, but whatever has the sanctity of age is to remain, West College included. A building soon to go up on the campus will be one for the Graduate School, which now occupies "Merwick", where Professor Raymond lived in our day, but which the college now owns. On its II acres, are Professor Raymond's former house, now holding 14 students and an annex holding 8 more. Prospect Avenue, from Washington Street to beyond the Athletic Field, is given over to the upper-class clubs, of which there are fif- teen. 116 The freshmen and sophomores are compelled to eat at the col- lege commons. Recently President Wilson suggested that the jun- iors and seniors also be required to take their meals in commons, there to be several commons, one for each group of buildings or quadrangle. This was the much discussed "Quad System". This suggestion was made; because the President believed that, with the large number of clubs, possibly a stigma was cast on the men who failed of election to any, and that there was scant possi- bility that there ever would be clubs enough to absorb all upper- classmen. The suggestion has not been adopted thus far by the Trustees. Bounded on the north by the line of upper-class clubs, and on the east by Washington Street, is a tract of 93 acres, acquired in 1905. The south boundaries of this tract, as well as of the old campus, are marked by Carnegie Lake (1906). The lake extends to Kingston from the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge on the "Princeton Branch", about 3^ miles ; and, covering the swamp land between the canal towpath and the Princeton hill, varies in width from 400 to 1,000 feet. Such of its entire shore as is not owned by the University is restricted against factory or other undesirable use. Another tract, of 221 acres, lying between the Theological Semi- nary and Stoney Brook, was presented to the University in 1905, and contains a golf course, and a clubhouse built by '86. The University Athletic Field has been completely remodelled since our day; and, in addition to splendid spaces for games, con- tains the (i) clubhouse with its training quarters, dining, bed, sit- ting and bathrooms, (2) base ball cage, (3) field house with its dres- sing, bath and locker rooms, (4) large covered grand stand, and (5) large open stands. MISCELLANEOUS. The expenses have increased somewhat since we entered, $381 being now the minimum annual expense, not including, however, the cost of books, clothes, room furnishings or travelling expenses, and not, on the other hand, allowing for the financial assistance obtain- able from the University. Because of the insufficient size of the Chapel, each undergradu- ate is required to attend but two week-day services, and but one- 117 half of each term's Sunday services. But one service is held each Sunday, and that in the morning. The town, too, has changed. New houses are in what we saw as fields. The farms of our day on outer Stockton Street have been transformed into well groomed country places. Near the point where Nassau Street forks into Stockton and Mercer Streets, one finds a good hotel, the Princeton Inn, and an attractive club, the Nassau Club. These are the changes. There has been no change in the democ- racy, in the comradeship, in the sanity, or in the idealism of the college life. ATHLETICS. The past five years have brought a greater variety of competition than theretofore obtained, a variety wholly unknown twenty years ago. In addition to intercollegiate contests in football, baseball, basketball, track events, hockey, gymnastics, swimming, water polo, fencing, rifle and shot gun shooting, cross country running, wrest- ling, golf, tennis and only Heaven and the undergraduates know what else, there are, in many of these things, dual and freshman meets, as well as both team and individual championships. Then, too, there is rowing on Carnegie Lake, but, in this sport, the only contests have been those between Princeton class crews — both "fours" and "eights". The football records of the last five years show that Princeton, in the lo games of 1904, scored 181 to her opponents' 34, losing to Yale (0-12) and Annapolis (9-10) ; in the 10 games of 1905, scored 229 to her opponents' 45, losing to Yale (4 to 23) and to Dartmouth (0-6) ; in the 10 games of 1906, scored 205 to her opponents' 9, tying Yale (0-0) ; in the 9 games of 1907, scored 282 to her oppon- ents' 23, losing to Yale (10-12) and Cornell (5-6) ; in the 10 games of 1908, scored 84 to her opponents' 25, losing to Yale (6-1 1), and Dartmouth (6-10), and that the Princeton freshmen, in 1904, de- feated the Yale freshmen (10-7). In baseball, Princeton, in 1905, after winning the only game played with Harvard, and after winning the first Yale game (18-2), lost the next two Yale games; in 1906 and again in 1907, defeated both Harvard and Yale in both of the two games played with each of them; in 1908 won both of the two Harvard, and two of the 118 three Yale games, and, in 1909, lost both of the two Harvard and two of the three Yale games. Among the intercollegiate championships in minor sports, were shot-gun shooting (team 1904 and 1905, individual 1904 and 1906), swimming (1907), hockey (1907) and gymnastics (team and indi- vidual 1908). The elimination of the freshman, post graduate, and conditioned students from intercollegiate contests makes relatively small the number of men from which Princeton may recruit her teams. Intercollegiate successes, other than athletic, were the winning of the chess tournament in 1909, of the debates with Yale in 1907 and 1908, and with Harvard in each year from 1905 to 1908 (both inclu- sive), and of the intercollegiate freshman debate in 1908. In 1909, Harvard, Yale and Princeton each debated twice with the other two, and each won one, and lost one of such two debates. These debating victories have been the more pleasing, because law students not infrequently represented our opponents. ^ Whether Princeton has progressed is not a subject for debate. P. A. R.
