While the labor involved in the preparation of the book has been arduous it has been most interesting and greatly facilitated by the cooperation of the mem- bers of the class who, with three exceptions, have complied, in general very promptly, with requests for information and statistics. The Committee desires to extend its thanks to Abbott and Brewster to whose joint efforts is due the article entitled, "Our Instructors." Edwin L. Dillingham J. Culbert Palmer William H.

Brothers? . . . but we were boys, and there it ends. The Children of the Night. THE number of applicants for admission to '82 who crowded Alumni Hall in June, 1878, was the largest then on record, and the faculty was compelled to pursue a vigorous course of pruning in order that the class might be kept within what seemed to be proper bounds. We first met as a body in Battell Chapel on Thursday afternoon, Septem- ber 11, 1878, at five o'clock, where we were divided into six alphabetical divisions and assigned to our respective division officers. Our first recitation came the next afternoon, and the first man to recite was D. B. Porter, who was called upon by the "Rev. John," who subsequently succeeded in reducing our class from the largest on record to one of the smallest of then recent years, for, as Professor Northrop laconically expressed it: " '82 Petered out." On Wednesday evening we met '81 in a rush in the yard of the Hopkins Grammar School, where, by our superior weight and vigor, we won our first laurels, not only in the rush but in numerous individual wrestling matches, and thereafter maintained our form and our position on the sidewalk during the return march to the campus. The Record of September 14 gave us one hundred and [3 3 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 twenty men, with one hundred more out on conditions, which was a very large total membership; but in the same issue, while speaking of our great numbers, it quoted that little proverb which was very applicable to us, "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding small." Our numbers were steadily reduced until at the time the first catalogue was issued we had only one hundred and seventy- four members. In the rush at the class boat races at Lake Saltonstall we repeated our victory and won. This was the battle which the New York Sun immortalized by a vivid account in which it magnified one injured arm into "five bruised and almost senseless bodies." We took the fresh- man fence two weeks earlier than any preceding class ever held it and were awarded the sophomore fence at the usual time. Our class supper was held at the old Pequot House at New London, but a detailed description of that event is unnecessary. Those who were there will never forget it, and no pen could represent the festivities to those who were not. In sophomore year we were victorious in the first rush, but hazing was largely eliminated because of a notification from the faculty that twelve men were held as hostages for proper behavior by the class in this particular. In junior year our appointment list was very large, as we had eight philosophical besides a much larger number than usual of the lower honors. Our Promenade was a great success and our Junior Exhibition of superior excellence. This year saw the death, by order of the faculty, of Kappa Sigma Epsilon and Delta Kappa, in whose halls we had so many good times in our freshman and sophomore years. Our senior year was marked in the latter part by the decease of our classmate Wentworth, when for the first time our ranks were broken by death. During our four years the course was enlarged and im- proved in several ways and a number of new professors Campus from Chapel, looking South Rear Campus, looking North HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 added. A new library for the Theological Seminary was erected and preparations made for the construction of a new Laboratory, the gift of the Messrs. Sloane of Xew York. Hamilton Park was supplanted by the Yale Field, which was purchased, developed, and almost entirely paid for during our time. The last recitation of the class was to Professor Phelps in Constitutional Law on Thursday, June i, at twelve o'clock, Hand being the last man called up and completing the record of the class with a "cold rush." Thirty-one members of '82 were born in Connecticut, 21 in Xew York, 16 in Pennsylvania, 1 1 in Massachusetts, 6 in Maine, 4 in Illinois, 4 in New Hampshire, 3 in Xew Jersey, 2 in Wisconsin, 2 in Louisiana, 2 in Minnesota, 2 in Ohio, and 2 in Kentucky, and i in each of the following States: Indiana, Vermont, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Maryland, and Michigan, while i was born in X^ew Brunswick and i in Syria. Forty-eight schools and eleven private tutors participated in preparing '82 for its college course. The Hopkins Gram- mar School prepared 15, Williston Seminary 12, Andover 10, Hartford High School 5, Rockville High School 3, St. Paul's, Adelphi, Polytechnic of Brooklyn, and the high schools at Montclair, Bath, Bangor, Birmingham, New London, Buffalo, and Philadelphia 2 each. The average age of the class at graduation was 22 years, 8 months, and 4 days, being the oldest average of any class to that date, with the exception of '8i, whose average was 22 years, 9 months, and 26 days. '69 at the time of our graduation was the youngest class on record, her average age being 22 years and 8 days. The age of our youngest man was 20 years, 1 month, and 10 days, and of our oldest, 32 years, 5 months, and 8 days. Our tallest man measured 6 feet 2*4 inches and our shortest 5 feet 2 1 ? inches, while our average height was 5 feet 8% inches. Our average UNDERGRADUATE DAYS weight was 146 pounds 5.38 ounces; our heaviest man weighed 200 pounds and our lightest man weighed 115 pounds. The average chest measurement was 36/2 inches, the largest measurement being 42 inches. During our sophomore year the Athletic Association of the college was reorganized and placed on a firm basis and became a member of the Intercollegiate Association. We won many events in the class games, while at the Mott Haven games one of our members won the mile run for two succes- sive years. Our class baseball nine was very strong, and in the spring of freshman year we won every game we played with a single exception, beating the Harvard freshmen not only in New Haven but at Cambridge, which was the first time that a Yale freshman nine had ever succeeded in vanquishing the Harvard freshmen on their own grounds. In our first year the college won the intercollegiate cham- pionship in baseball, and while in our sophomore year Princeton won the Intercollegiate Association championship, from which we had withdrawn, as we defeated her and won every college game played excepting one, the press of the country awarded us the college championship. This we again held the following year, having rejoined the Intercol- legiate Association. The Intercollegiate Football Associa- tion was formed in our freshman year, with Yale, Harvard, and Princeton as members, and the game was played with fifteen men; we beat Harvard, but were defeated by Prince- ton. In sophomore year our games with Harvard and Princeton w T ere both draws, and in the following year we defeated Harvard and again played a draw game with Princeton. In boating, although we originally had an ex- tremely strong crew, we were unfortunate, for one reason or another, in the class races. The history of the university crew during our course is more agreeable, though not ex- hilarating, we having won from Harvard in our sophomore and junior years and lost in freshman and senior years. C'7 1 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 The average expense for each of the four years was as follows: freshman year, $867; sophomore year, $923; junior year, $1048; senior year, $1063, making a total average expense of $3901. The price for table board paid by each member of the class throughout the course varied from $3.50 to $14.00 per week, the average price being about $5.25. Thirty-seven of the class helped support them- selves in various ways during their college course, of whom eighteen earned money by tutoring and six by writing and contributing to papers; three each by playing poker and teaching, two by singing, and one each by drawing, acting as a clerk, farming, collecting, working in the Library, acting as an organist, and taking prizes. The sums earned varied from ten dollars to one thousand dollars, one man having earned the latter amount during his course. Of the class, 85 were Republicans, 14 were Democrats, 9 were independent, and there was one civil service re- former, while 8 had no definite political views. Thirty-four of the class had voted before graduation, and 23 expressed an intention of taking an active part in politics subsequent to graduation. In spite of Professor Sumner's teaching the class graduated 23 protectionists, while 9 were undecided on that point and the remaining 84 men were free-traders. Seventy-two of the class had no objection to alcoholic beverages, and 67 used tobacco in some form, all of whom except 15 formed the habit before entering college. Twenty- seven neither smoked nor drank. Four were arrested; two for a fight on the steps of Delta Kappa Hall, one for dis- turbing the peace, and one for swearing at a policeman. One of the first two was fined, but the other cases were dis- missed. Four men were called at various times before the faculty; 9 were suspended and 21 warned. Fifty-five members of the class were church-members, divided denominationally in the following manner: Con- gregationalists 22, Episcopalians 12, Presbyterians n, C§ 1 Durfee Farnam HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Baptists 6, Methodists 4. The sympathy of the whole class with the several denominations was as follows : Congrega- tional 35, Episcopalian 31, Presbyterian 19, Methodist 7, Baptist 6, agnostic 5, Jews and non-sectarian 2 each, Lutheran, Quaker, Unitarian, Deist, Utilitarian, Ingersollite 1 each; 4 had no religious belief and 1 was undecided. Thirty of the class at some time engaged in work in the several missions of the city, and 25 of these regularly so. At the time of graduation it was the intention of 70 men to enter a profession, 29 contemplated entering business, and the remainder were undecided as to their future occu- pation. Of the professional men 38 intended to study law, 17 medicine, 8 teaching, 4 theology, 1 civil engineering, 1 mechanical engineering, and 1 chemistry. Presentation day was Monday, June 26, when Whitney read the class poem and Storrs delivered the oration. Com- mencement exercises were held in Center Church on Wed- nesday, June 28, with the ceremonies then customary, John- son being our valedictorian and Abbott our salutatorian. And so, having "made good friends and studied— some," we left our Mother's sheltering arms and hopefully started on our journey of life. [>3 RETROSPECTIVE MORE than a quarter of a century has elapsed since '82 passed from the campus, and during that long inter- val many matters of individual and general consequence have occurred. A few of our number have become famous and a few wealthy. Most of the class have made honorable rec- ords and maintained a good position in society and in their respective callings. Some of our strongest and our best have crossed the great divide, their careers, so full of prom- ise, cut short, their hopes, so vivid and enthusiastic, withered and dead. The College has become only a part, though still a large part, of the University; the old brick row has disap- peared, together with the fence as we knew it; many of the elms have been sacrificed, and the places which knew them are now the sites of imposing buildings. Instead of one campus there are three, while Sachem's Wood is taking form as a university field which in the not distant future promises to surpass all others. But the little oak still thrives, the old spirit survives, and the Yale of to-day is in all essen- tials the Yale of '82. "Though much is taken much abides," and though to the long absent one returning the surround- ings are strange and unfamiliar, the old college is still the Alma Mater and the tie of kinship remains unweakened.

Z^l President Porter OUR INSTRUCTORS THE intellectual atmosphere of the western slope of the Rockies is more hospitable to irrigation plans and railway projects than to educational matters. And if it is a relief to me to turn away for a while from such material preoccupations, and in obedience to our class secretary's request try to catch some memories of the Yale life of thirty years ago, nevertheless the limitations to my sketch of our instructors must be obvious. Look, then, for no complete account of the after lives of the men who awed us even if they sometimes won our admiration in our college recitation-rooms — for such they were in those days rather than lecture-halls. Do not expect from me any adequate judgment upon the educational value of their methods or their ideals. Dillingham has sent me the ad- mirable article by Professor Williams of '79 on the subject, and good reading it is. For a comprehensive survey of the Yale professors and tutors of our time and a well-poised appreciation of their work, go to that '79 Class Book, for, with few exceptions, our instructors were the same. It was the tutors to whom the duty fell of molding our minds by the rigorous curriculum of Greek and Latin and mathematics, as we freshmen, confident or timid as the case might be, stepped out from the narrow confines of our pre- paratory schools into the ampler spaces of the college. Beebe, Perrin, Phillips, Robbins, Peters, and Tarbell— I think that was the list of our regular freshman tutors. Who does not remember the enthusiasm of Tutor Phil- lips? If spherical trigonometry and analytical geometry never took deep root in my un-mathematical mind, it was not HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 his fault. A true teacher, in love with his subject, winning us by suggestions of undreamed-of mysteries like the fourth dimension, illustrating his teaching by strange models, al- ways kindly tolerant of our crude mistakes, shaming us out of our laziness by his assumption of interest on our part- it is a pleasure to recall his personality. I think we learned more from him than we could then realize, and every member of '82 must rejoice at his well-earned promotion to a foremost place in the Yale mathematical faculty and a leading position in the educational world. May the uni- versity long enjoy the fruits of his splendid abilities ! Our other mathematical teacher, Mr. Beebe, of a differ- ent temperament, no doubt, accomplished his work with un- swerving fidelity to the highest standards. There was no romance about his classroom; there mental discipline reigned. Frank Abbott (who ought to have written this entire article) has set down some reminiscences, and what he says about Tutor Beebe will find a response in many minds : "One member of the class, at least, looks back with much gratitude to the training in precision and accuracy which he set up as his ideal. With him no slovenliness in thinking or in expression was tolerated. The line of demarcation between what a man knew and what he didn't know was clearly drawn, and was made apparent to himself, as well as to the rest of the class. In Mr. Beebe's classroom every man stood at attention, for he didn't know when the dread sentence would come out, 'Jones, you may take it up there,' and no light upon the location of 'there' or the sequence to 'there' was to be had from the instructor. What an anxious moment that was when you stepped to the blackboard, pointer in hand, with dry lips and quaking knees, to follow the arcs, tangents, chords, and segments which your lucky predecessor had turned over to you ! Haec jam meminisse juvat." OUR INSTRUCTORS It is not so much the things they tried to teach us as the personalities of our teachers that left the most lasting im- pression on our youthful minds. I enjoyed Tutor Tarbell's courses, and I then thought I knew some Greek. But his austere, almost ascetic appearance is what clings in my memory. One evening he was a visitor at some society meet- ing, when a debate was on about free trade and protection (we had not then had the luminous lectures of Professor Sumner), and I well remember how I gained an added respect for our Greek tutor's versatility and logical intellect as he quietly punctured the hazy generalizations of our argu- ments with a few concrete facts, deftly indicating their appli- cation to either side of the question. Tutors Robbins and Henry Farnam both, as I remem- ber, guided us in our Latin study (the latter in our sopho- more year), but they were not destined to remain in this sphere of work. The former was about to enter upon his honorable career at the Connecticut bar. The latter has devoted himself to economic studies, and in that department has achieved a notable reputation, adding luster to the uni- versity. He won our respect by his unfailing courtesy; and, as partakers of his genial hospitality, many of us callow youth were initiated into a larger world of social amenities. Tutor John P. Peters was a Nemesis to many of the class, but I am thankful that some fate led me to listen to certain evening readings he gave in the Odyssey, open to all who chose to come. It is a commentary upon our old methods of instruction that I, at least, owe to these free readings, rather than to any prescribed course, some insight into the glory of the old Greek world, and the beauty of the Homeric poems. For this enlargement of the intellectual horizon I am glad to record my gratitude to one who, probably owing to the ill-judged methods of discipline then in vogue, won a reputation among Yale undergraduates aptly characterized by Professor Will- HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 iams, who says that Peters "will ever be remembered by the class of '79 as the Thing it came up against." Dr. Peters has earned his laurels since then in several widely dif- ferent spheres; and some of us who have known him in his later career honor him as a friend no less than as a scholar, a preacher, and a leader in practical social re- form. An additional commentary upon those educational methods which Yale has outgrown is afforded by Profes- sor Abbott, from whose notes I again quote in regard to another of our tutors: "Professor Bernadotte Perrin be- gan his long and honorable career as instructor and pro- fessor of Greek with our class in its freshman year. The subject was the Odyssey, in which even the fourth division would have felt a chastened pleasure under Professor Perrin's instructions, had it not been for the fact that, by an unkind decree of the faculty, we were doomed to read a book abounding in myths, and the sys- tem of instruction adopted made it necessary for us to familiarize ourselves with all the relatives of each god, demigod, and hero to the most remote generation. It proved to be an excellent system of mnemonics for those of us whose brains were equal to the strain, and Profes- sor Perrin softened the rigor of the system as much as possible, but we failed to catch a glimpse of the poet through the genealogies." Upon the work of another of our sophomore teachers, Alfred Thacher, I shall also borrow Abbott's words, for it is good for us to catch the point of view of one who is at home in that Augustan world which to most of us, perhaps, is but a world of shadowy figures: "With Mr. Thacher as guide we accompanied Horace from Rome to Brundisium, we strolled with him in Rome along the Sacred Way, and we shared the poet's simple fare while we listened to Cervius' story of the city mouse r* jrr\ Professor E. J. Phelps Professor J. D. Dana Professor A. M. Wheeler Professor W. G. Sumner Professor A. W. Wright Professor G. T. Ladd HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 and the country mouse. To Mr. Thacher we owed an introduction to all these delightful experiences, although far be it from me to suggest that we appreciated our good fortune at the time. But a wider acquaintance with life and a better knowledge of the Roman poet have shown us the debt of gratitude which we owe to our former instruc- tor." Professors Wright and Northrop were, I suppose we must all feel, the prominent personalities of our sopho- more classrooms. Honored names both! Professor Henry Wright is too well known to need any extended re- hearsal of his sterling work. He was my division of- ficer (we had no deans then). Unerringly just, yet kind, I knew him. And I do not wonder at the supreme suc- cess of his later work as dean. As head of the department of English literature Cyrus Northrop never sat stiffly in his professor's chair. A certain expansive good nature was temperamental with him, even when we must have bored him with our crude literary efforts. In the administrative work of upbuilding the University of Minnesota until it has be- come one of the great institutions of the West, he found his true career. His bonhomie has never deserted him; and I suppose many an old Yale man has been delighted, as I have been, to meet in later years the kindly encourage- ment he has always been forward to give. In junior year we had chemistry under Professor Arthur Wright, and physics and mechanics under Tutor (as he then was) Edward Dana. Had the Yale traditions of those days admitted such laboratory work as now uni- versally prevails, scientific studies under these men would have been more worth while for all of us. But their great abilities were not obscured in our eyes, even under the bookish methods which cramped their work. And though some of us may have failed to appreciate the OH * J> fS Professor W. M. Barboui Professor H. A. Newton Professor Franklin Carter Professor H. A. Beers Professor E. S. Dana HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 sciences they taught, they both had the respect and lik- ing of us all. I well remember one day, when, being asked by Mr. Dana to describe "convection," I endea- vored by much talking to cloud over the fact that I had not obtained the faintest idea from the book-definition, but I could not withstand the gentle astonishment in Dana's clear-eyed gaze, and I sat down confused, yet acknowledging him to be a gentleman even when he flunked me. It was the privilege of our class in junior year to have for our instructor in logic Arthur Twining Hadley, who, in the same year when '82 entered Yale, had become a member of the faculty, showing his versatility by teach- ing successively German, Greek, and logic. Abbott re- calls some interesting experiences: "After some training in logic, we acquired a certain facility in dealing with fal- lacies. With the aid of clues which our predecessors had set down in the second-hand copies of Jevons, secured at Gulliver's, we almost always scored a fall out of 'the undivided middle' and 'the false major premise.' It was an interesting game. In addition to the fallacies which Jevons furnished, Mr. Hadley gave us, from time to time, others of his own invention. These ranged all the way from topics in theology and political economy to the odds in betting. One Friday, late in November, in dis- cussing some fallacy, he was remarking upon the doc- trine of chances to the class, which was listening with a successful simulation of absorbed interest, when, with that impetuosity of manner which was not unusual with him, he said: 'Now, if I were betting on the Harvard foot- ball game to-morrow — ' It was a master-stroke. No man dared spend his time in the classroom day-dream- ing after that, when there was always a chance of pick- ing up a bit of expert information which might be valu- able in a field really important." We could not know in OUR INSTRUCTORS those days that the presidency of Yale awaited Mr. Hadley, and that the Yale of our day, with its halting educational methods, would under his administration be developed into a great modern university. But it re- quired no prophet to foresee that great things awaited him. We studied German under Tutor Zacher and Profes- sor Carter, another man destined for a college presidency. Professor Newton may not have been known to many of us, but as the conditions of a scholarship which I hap- pened to get in freshman year demanded that I should take calculus, it was my lot to come under his instruction. It was delightful to see the pleasure which he seemed to take in the abstruse mysteries of a study of which I never got more than a most remote view. Professor Tracy Peck, the Latinist, and Professor Seymour, the Atticist, were new instructors in our time. Latin and Greek being optional in junior year, the major- ity of our class did not come in contact with these scholars in the classrooms. They were both imbued with the ideals of modern education, and I believe could have taught us much, had we given them the opportunity. I am sorry that I did not take English literature under Professor Beers. Appreciation of his profound scholar- ship and his refined literary taste was lacking among us college youth, for the most part — owing partly, no doubt, to what seemed great reserve of character— a fact which leads not a few of us to vain regrets in after years. Xor was I of the discerning group who elected the course in American history with Professor Dexter. But it was open to all of us to know him in the Library, where we found him indeed a gracious host. Xo one who went there for things which the curriculum did not give us will fail to remember with gratitude his sympathy and readi- ness to help. I suppose many of us, returning in later D3n HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 years, have been surprised to find how accurately he re- membered us. His heart has ever been in Yale, and with Yale men in their work in life; and a figure like his, so closely associated with her academic shades, is one of the memories we can least afford to spare. While some figures undoubtedly have passed from my mind, of men who in those days loomed large, I cannot omit a reference to the good work of Professor Mark Bailey, who as professor of elocution directed our work in preparing for the junior ex. and for the commence- ment speeches. I now wish I had attended more to his valuable suggestions. Probably, also, there is good reason for me to regret that, being an Episcopalian, I had very little opportunity of hearing the preaching of Dr. Barbour, the college pastor. The impression, however, which I obtained from the daily chapel exercises and from his demeanor as we met him on the campus, inspires the belief that he was hardly what in the West is called "a mixer." Of the instructors of our senior year, Sumner and Wheeler stand out conspicuous, I suppose, in the memory of every member of the class. Strong personalities, yet of very diverse temperament, they taught us more than any others of our staff the necessity of clear thought grounded upon careful induction. It is true that they taught subjects for which our minds were then probably better fitted than they were for the abstract subjects with which our President dealt. The scintillating brilliancy of Professor Sumner's lectures on economics will never be forgotten. That you cannot "get something out of noth- ing" is a truth which he illustrated with infinite variety. And for this we must ever be grateful, even if some of us have moved (whether it is advance or retrogression this is not the place to say) away from the standpoint of enlightened individualism, of which Professor Sumner D4] Professor Cyrus Northrop Professor H. P. Wright Arthur T. Hadley Edmund Zacher f A Henry W. Farnam Alfred B. Thacher HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 was so distinguished a representative. Professor Wheeler might not soar like his colleague, but he left us no excuse for failing to get some understanding of the mighty sweep of historical forces. Of Professor E. J. Phelps, Professor Abbott writes an appreciation, which all will be glad to read: "It was a difficult task to teach to undergraduates a subject so far removed from common experience as international law. It was a difficult thing for an instructor accustomed to the more serious-minded professional students of a law school to adapt himself to academic students. Both of these things Professor E. J. Phelps accomplished with great skill. Such lectures as he gave us on his subject are rarely heard on this side the ocean. In their lucidity and charm of expression they suggested the Sorbonne, and reminded one of the finished discourses of a Boissier or a Martha. Professor Phelps had already won distinc- tion as a jurist when he came to Yale. A still greater honor came to him later when President Cleveland ap- pointed him Ambassador to the Court of St. James. We who had listened to his lectures in the Old Chapel were not astonished to hear of the delight which his public addresses in England gave, and those of us who came to know him personally after graduation were not surprised to learn that our cousins across the water found his con- versation and manner equally charming." W T ho does not honor the memory of the elder Dana, whose long life of devotion to science shed a glory over old Yale? In the classroom, I think, we did not feel his worth, but if a single-hearted enthusiasm for his subject did not meet with the response from us that it deserved, there were few of us who were not ready to yield him the respect due to his simple dignity of character no less than his hoary head. Professor Ladd assumed the chair of philosophy at D6] Andrew W. Phillips Edward D. Robbins William Beebe Frank B. Tarbell John P. Peters HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Yale in our senior year. The metaphysical habit of mind was not largely developed in any of us, and I fear that most of us were not attracted by this prescribed course. Professor Ladd was a leader, however, even if we did not all know it then, in that experimental psychology through which such great results have been accomplished. I think a few of our more mature men, having the good judgment to take an optional in this subject with him, found reason to be thankful for the choice. In regard to President Porter also, I think our recol- lections do not rest very affectionately on the studies of the classroom. But of his lovable personality there can be among us but one verdict. If we did not care for "The Law of Love and Love as a Law" as a text-book, we nevertheless were conscious that "Prexy" really guided his honorable life by the law of love. It is no doubt true that the advance of Yale in educational methods was re- tarded by the policy for which President Porter allowed himself to stand. Yet, if gentleness of spirit and tolerance and fair-mindedness count for anything, we Yale men who came under his influence may have received benefits which we could not then measure. In fact, this may be said of most of those men whose work I have so imperfectly reviewed, that, if wiser me- thods might have enriched our intellectual inheritance and given us a better hold upon the problems of life, yet in the sphere of character, in those elements of personal life which lie so much deeper than the intellect, they probably helped us more than we can ever know.

Some immediately entered upon the work for which the four years had been a training and an inspiration; some were privileged to prolong, for a little while, the col- lege associations before they, too, essayed to take the places in the world for which our Fostering Mother had done her best to prepare us. Our TRIENNIAL in June, 1885, seemed a long way off, but it came at last and brought seventy-three of us together at New Haven. By the Saturday evening before commence- ment we had gathered together a goodly crowd, and the event was duly celebrated. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday brought many more, and in all the following members of the class reported: Abbott, Allen (J. F.), Allen (M. S.), Atterbury, Badger, Bailey, Baltz, Barbour, Bartlett, Beach, Beede, Billings, Boltwood, Brewster, Brinton, Brockway, Bronson, Campbell, Clement, Cragin, Curtis, Dillingham, Eaton, Farwell, Foote. Ford, Foster, French, Fries, Graves (C. B.), Graves (G. H.), Hand, Hanlon, Hopkins, Jef- ferds, Kellogg (F. A.), Kellogg (J. P.), Kingman, Kitt- redge, Knapp, Lewis, Long, Loomis, McKnight, Morris, C40 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Osborne, Page, Palmer, Pardee, Parke, Parsons, Pember, Piatt, Pollock, Pratt, Rice, Richards, Richardson, Scranton, Shoemaker, Smith, Stillman, Storrs, Sweetser, Vought, Waller, Weed, Welch, Welles, Whitney, Williams (E. S.), Williams (H. L.), Worcester, Wright. At the business meeting Abbott was chosen chairman, and Brewster was elected to respond for the class at the alumni dinner on commencement day. In the evening at seven o'clock we gathered about our flag at the fence, and, headed by a band of music, marched around the college buildings and then proceeded to the resi- dence of President Porter, on Hillhouse Avenue. The Presi- dent was not at home, but a hearty three times three was given for him, and the line of march to the Athenaeum was resumed, a halt being made for cheers at the house of ex- President Woolsey. At eight o'clock the class filed into the Athenaeum, on Church Street, and found the galleries crowded with ladies and their escorts, who were there to witness the presentation of the class cup. Sixty-nine members of the class and four former mem- bers—Dickinson, F. W. Clark, Folsom, and Seymour — mak- ing seventy-three in all, seated themselves about the tables, and after singing "Here 's to '82" were called to order by Piatt, who, as chairman of the cup committee, acted as pre- siding officer and toast-master. He opened the ceremonies with a few words of welcome and introduced Whitney, the poet of the occasion. The reading of the poem was con- tinually interrupted by laughter and applause. Then followed the event of the evening, the presentation of the cup to Russell Yale Hanlon, the Class Boy. The boy was there, looking his prettiest, and so were his proud parents. The presentation speech, which was made by Beach, kept the class and the audience in the galleries in an uproar of £42] REUNIONS merriment, and even the baby expressed so much enthusiasm as to be heard above all the rest. Hanlon accepted the cup in behalf of his infant son and thanked the class in appropriate words, and in conclusion presented each member with a photograph of the boy. The cup was then filled with champagne, and after the baby had taken a pull at it, and while he was crying for more, it was passed around the table, and everybody drank his health. During the dinner the class was entertained by listening to responses to the following TOASTS The Class, Asa P. French "Death cannot sever The ties that bind our souls through mortal years — They last forever."— Barnes. The Faculty, Frank F. Abbott "By education some have been misled." — Dry den. Our Clergymen, Benjamin Brewster "Priests are patterns for the rest." — Dryden. Our Lawyers, Theodore Holland "Whoso loves law dies either mad or poor." — Middleton. Our Physicians, Burnside Foster "Those lives they failed to rescue by their skill, Their muse would make immortal with her quill." — Garth. Our Business Men, Frank R. Gallaher "Through life's dark road his sordid way he wends, An incarnation of fat dividends."— Sprague. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Our Married Men, Wayland I. Bruce " Happy the man whom thus his stars advance ! The curse is general, but the blessing chance." —Parnell. Dear Old Yale, Charles B. Storrs "But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever." — Burns. Owing to the absence of Holland, Gallaher, and Bruce, the toasts to which they had been assigned w r ere omitted: but impromptu speeches on various subjects by Bill Pollock, Jonas Long, and others served to fill the gaps in the pro- gram. Later in the evening the class of '75, which was celebrat- ing its decennial in an adjoining room, paid us the honor of a visit and received a cordial welcome. At last the festivities of the dinner were ended, and the class made its way to the campus, where a bonfire was lighted, and before the morning of commencement day had dawned the good people of the neighborhood had reason to know that the "glorious class of '82" was again in town. Our SEXENNIAL convened on June 26, 1888. About thirty-five members of the class attended the business meet- ing, which was held at Room B, Cabinet Building, at eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning. J. Howard Pratt, Jr., was chosen chairman. Messrs. Knapp, Pember, and Osborne were appointed a committee on obituary resolutions. The thanks of the class were unanimously tendered to the secretary for his past services, and he was thereupon instructed to prepare and publish a sexennial record, and to include in it, besides those who graduated, all who were with the class more than one year. C44 3 REUNIONS J. Howard Pratt, Jr., was elected to respond for the class at the alumni dinner on commencement day. After the adjournment of the business meeting, a class prayer-meeting was held at Dwight Hall, and at the alumni meeting, which was held at the same time, Badger was spokesman for the class. In the afternoon Yale beat Harvard at the Yale Field in a baseball game, on the result of which the championship depended. Immediately after the return from the ball game the members of the class assembled at the fence, and, headed by the American Band and preceded by the class of '78, marched to the corner of Church and Chapel Streets, where horse-cars were waiting to convey them to Hill's Home- stead, at Savin Rock, for the sexennial dinner. The classes of '53 and '78 dined in separate apartments at the same place and time. The liquid department was under the able management of J. P. Kellogg, and the liberality of those who attended the dinner enabled him to conduct it on a generous scale. There were no regular toasts to be responded to, but everybody was given an opportunity to display his eloquence if he had any. The dinner, while it was orderly, was informal, and for that reason seemed to be the more enjoyed. During its progress a committee from the class of '78 entered the room, bearing the compliments of that class and also a bottle of wine, both of which were presented with appropriate words. At the same time Lyman, in behalf of '82, visited both '53 and '78 and presented each with a similar token of esteem. At the conclusion of the dinner it was learned that Ab- bott, who had recently been married, was spending his honeymoon at a cottage near by. It was decided to rout C45II HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 him out and demand an explanation of his absence from the festivities. The class, headed by the band, proceeded to the cottage, where, after a protracted serenade and loud calls for Abbott, the information was obtained that he was at the Sea View House. Thither the class immediately be- took itself, and shortly after it had made its presence known Abbott appeared on the upper piazza, showing evidences of a decidedly hasty toilet, and in eloquent words endeavored to calm his excited classmates. Nothing would satisfy them, however, but that he should accompany them back to Hill's, and, rather than argue the question, he yielded to their wishes. It was a late hour when the classes of '78 and '82 marched up Chapel Street to the campus amid a blaze of red fire and Roman candles, but plenty of graduates and undergraduates were on hand to join them in the powwow around the bon- fire and in songs upon the fence. The sexennial committee consisted of F. A. Kellogg, J. P. Kellogg, Knapp, Osborne, and Pardee, and received many well-deserved assurances that the meeting had been a suc- cessful and much enjoyed one. The following members of the class attended the dinner: Allen (M. S.), Badger, Barbour, Bate, Bates, Billings, Bolt- wood, Brinton, Brockway, Cragin, Curtis, Dickinson, Dil- lingham, Eno, Foote, Gallaher, Graves (C. B.), Graves (G. H.), Haskell, Kellogg (F. A.), Kellogg (J. P.), Knapp, Loomis, Lyman, Osborne, Page, Palmer, Pardee, Parsons, Pember, Pollock, Pratt, Sanford, Shoemaker, Smith, Welch, Whitney, Williams (H. L.). In addition to the above the following were in New Haven at some time during commencement week, but were unable to attend the dinner: Bruce, Campbell, Hopkins, Lewis, Rossiter, Silver (L. M.). We celebrated our DECENNIAL anniversary on Tuesday, June 28, 1892. A business meeting was held at No. 176 C463 REUNIONS Lyceum in the morning, followed by a luncheon at the resi- dence of Billings. In the afternoon we went to the ball game, and in the evening had our dinner at the old Church Street Opera House. About fifty members of the class attended. Habenstein of Hartford catered, and Pope's Military Band, also of Hartford, furnished the music for the afternoon and evening. Those attending the reunion were: Allen (J. F.), Allen (M. S.), Badger, Baltz, Bate, Beach, Beede, Billings, Boltwood, Brewster, Brinton, Brock- way, Bronson, Bruce, Clement, Curtis, Eaton, Eno, Farwell, Foote, Graves (C. B.), Graves (G. H.), Haskell, Hebard, Hopkins, Kellogg (J. P.), Kingman, Knapp, Lay, Lewis, Loomis, Lovering, Lyman, McBride, McKnight, Osborne, Page, Palmer, Pardee, Parsons, Pember, Piatt, Rice, Scud- der, Silver (L. M.), Storrs, Welch, Welles, Wells. The first of our NEW YORK CLASS DINNERS was held at the Arena, in West Thirty-first Street, on April 18, 1896. There were present the following men: Baltz, Bate, Billings, Brockway, Colgate, Dillingham, Ely, Hopkins, Kellogg (J. P.), Knapp, Lewis, Moodey, Osborne, Palmer, Parsons, Piatt, Stillman, Storrs, Welles, Wells, Williams (H.L.). These New York dinners have now become annual af- fairs. The first Friday in March has been adopted as the date, and the dinner is generally held at the Yale Club. There are usually thirty or forty men attending. Dillingham has presented a loving-cup to be awarded each year to the "long-distance" member of the company, on condition that if it be won by the same man for three years it shall become his own. At almost every dinner some member of the class is pres- ent who, for some reason or other, has not been with us for a long time previously, and the annual dinners have come to be regarded as oases where for one evening we live over again the happy days of the past. May they long continue to bring many of us together each year. C47] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Our QUINDECENNIAL meeting was held on Tuesday, June 29, 1897, and was attended by about fifty members. Osborne, the class secretary, called the meeting to order. The Parting Ode, written by Whitney for the class, was then sung. A vote of thanks was extended to the committee in charge of the reunion. Billings again kindly invited us to take luncheon at his residence, and the invitation was heart- ily accepted by all present. After luncheon the class attended the Yale-Harvard baseball game, and Hatch's Military Band of Hartford furnished the music. The dinner was held at the Anderson Gymnasium, on York Street, at seven o'clock, and was served by Sherry of New York. After din- ner French was appointed toast-master, and the following men responded to informal toasts: Foster, Beach, Lyman, and Sanford. A flash-light photograph was taken while the class was at dinner. There were present the following: Allen, Badger, Baltz, Beach, Beede, Billings, Brinton, Brockway, Bronson, Bruce, Clement, Colgate, Cragin, Dickinson, Dillingham, Eno, Farwell, Foote, Foster, French, Graves, Harkness, Haskell, Hebard, Hopkins, Kellogg (J. P.), Kingman, Knapp, Lewis, Loomis, Lyman, McBride, McKnight, Osborne, Pardee, Parsons, Pember, Piatt, Sanford, Shoemaker, Silver (L. M.), Snell, Stillman, Sweetser, Waller, Welch, Welles, Wells, Williams (H. L.) . The BICENTENNIAL OF THE UNIVERSITY, on October 20, 1901, brought together at New Haven the fol- lowing forty-four members of '82; Allen (J. F.), Allen (M. S.), Badger, Baltz, Barbour, Bartlett, Bate, Billings, Brinton, Bronson, Bruce, Clement, Dillingham, Eno, Foote, French, Graves (C. B.), Graves (G.

M.), Snell, Welch, Welles, Wells, Wight, Williams (H. L.). Barbour was a delegate from the University of Nebraska. C48] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Our class lunched at the Quinnipiack Club on Tuesday, Oc- tober 22. Every one who attended the Bicentennial will always be glad to have been there, for it was an occasion never to be forgotten. Our VICENNIAL meeting was held on June 24, 1902. Thirty-one members of the class attended the business meet- ing, which was held at F 1 Osborn at 1 1 130 A.M. Parsons called the meeting to order, and it was moved, seconded, and carried that Badger act as chairman. He thereupon took the chair. In the absence of the secretary, Palmer was elected secretary pro tern. It was moved by Parsons that there be elected at this and each succeeding meeting one to serve as president of the class, who shall preside at all meetings of the class, appoint committees, and act with the secretary in furthering the interests of the class. The motion being duly seconded and carried, Knapp was put in nomination and unanimously elected. He then took the chair, and, on motion of Badger, the thanks of the class were unanimously extended to Osborne, the class secretary, for his many services to the class. Parsons then moved that the president appoint the following committees : Class Dinners in New Haven and elsewhere. Class Book. Class Finance. The motion was seconded and carried. In the afternoon the class attended the Yale-Harvard baseball game, accompanied by the Waterbury Military Band, and upon their return the class picture was taken from the steps of the Library. The class dinner was held at the Anderson Gymnasium, on York Street, at 7 p.m., forty-one members and three non- graduates being present. It was served bv Maresi of New York.

Dur- ing the dinner Knapp announced the committees which he had appointed in accordance with Parsons' resolution— the following (with the president ex-officio a member of each committee) to serve from 1902 to 1907: Dinners and Twenty-fifth Reunion: Parsons, Lyman, J. P. Kellogg, Pardee. Class Book: Dillingham, Rice, Palmer. Finance: Welch, Eno, Farwell. There were present at the dinner the following: Allen (J. F. ) , Allen ( M.

During the following five years the annual dinners were held in New York, and preparations were made for what was to be our greatest and best gathering, when friends, some unseen for twenty-five years, were to come back and drink again from the fountain of youth, which exists for those who know what friendship is, and who have tasted the joys of companionship under the elms of "dear old Yale."

Barclay was the spokesman, and I stood In the doorway to cut oil retreat, and Barclay said: "Mr. President, we want to continue this excellent debating society which the class of '81 has conducted so admirably." And Prexy asked us if it was a debating society, and we said yes — through our spokesman. And that was really why the fate of He Boule was stayed for several years. It hung upon that answer. C9i] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Old Library This picture signifies something to old Yale men. It has the old ivies on it, and when we come back here, certainly by our next anniversary, it won't be here. We will never see that building again, boys, and I hope you will take a good look at it. They are going to remove that, too. Old Gymnasium OH THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY I will say, for the enlightenment of those men who took so much interest in that Greek examination paper, that that is the old gym. If you have seen the new gym, it affords by contrast a pretty good gauge or measure, certainly, of physical development, or I might say of the opportunities for physical development. A Voice: They turned out some pretty good teams there. Toast-master : It all looks small now, but that seemed like an awfully long track after you had been around it twenty or twenty-live times. Hamilton Park There is old Hamilton Park, and I have a notion that that is an '82 crowd out there. Perhaps some of you can recognize it. A Voice: Sam Hopkins is on first base. C93] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Toast-master: That was the scene of some of our great- est achievements; that is, I am speaking now from the standpoint of the athlete. [Laughter.] There you see one of the greatest events that ever took place at Ham- ilton Park; that is a three-legged foot race in which you see "Tufa" Dar- ling hitched up with Three-legged Race -i ■, somebody. Badger: That is Darling and myself, and "But" Wood- ward and Folsom. Freshman Baseball Nine of '82 Toast-master: You don't need to have me tell you whose picture that is. That was the old freshman ball nine. Badger: We got the fence two weeks earlier than any C94H THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY class ever got it. We got the fence the twenty-sixth day of April, 1879 — two weeks earlier than any class ever had the fence before. Toast-master: That nine beat the Harvard freshmen 19 to 11 and 6 to 5, and judging from to-day's result I think they could have beaten this year's Harvard 'varsity. Hut that 's nothing. [Applause.] Badger: Up in Cambridge we beat them two games, the first time the Harvard freshmen were ever licked on their own grounds, and Harry Piatt was the man that did the trick with a left-hand stop. t • I f k k * ,. WPP, £ 'Varsity Football Team of '78 There is what is known as the first Walter Camp team, and it is historic to-day, and it must be interesting to any- body who was on it, and to the class, to know that it really goes back to the beginning of modern football. That is the fifteen team, and we had but one fifteen after that. That team was interesting to us in our day because it had five freshmen on it, four from our class and one from Sheft. Five freshmen played in the game up at Boston with Har- vard. It was won by Yale with one goal, due to an extraor- dinary kick by Thompson from the middle of the field. He IT 95 3 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 hit the ball with the side of his foot. He was not a drop- kicker; he was a rush. Badger: May I say a word about that? Six men from Adams Academy played in the game that he tells you about; live were on the Harvard team, and myself on Yale. [Badger names the players: Camp, Watson, Peters, Nixon, Moorhouse, Eaton, Lyman, Harding, Fuller, Bad- ger, and others.] Bailey: Let *s have one drink to Chummie Eaton, as loval a Yale bov as ever lived, and he would be here now if he could. [Sophomore fence.] [For reproduction see page 2.] Toast-master: That is the sophomore fence, which, as Walter said, we got prematurely through the efforts of him- self, others ably assisting. That is the fence that I think Asa French, if he were here, would say that he had some part in getting by his oratory. That was the beginning of Asa's oratorical career, as I remember it, which we ex- pected would culminate to-night in his response to a toast, but he has been called away, greatly to our regret. I don't know whether you can recognize the men in that group. Murray Hale Now we have two old familiar characters, Murray the hackman and Hale the postman. I can't unde -stand this C96] THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY controversy about having a statue of Hale on the campus. [Applause and laughter.] I certainly think Hale ought to have one, and Murray, too. Professor Wright Professor Phillips There are Andy and Baldie as they were, two fine charac- ters, the students' friends, conscientious instructors; and the warmth of feeling that was displayed when they came around to see us the other night I think is sufficient apology for my selecting those two men to represent the old faculty. [Applause.] I must pause a minute to tell you a story that is going around New Haven that hinges on Professor Wright. There is a famous English lawyer, Sir John Pollock, who came over to this country a short time ago. He came to New Haven, and a dinner was given to him by one of the prominent men here. The leaders of the faculty and other prominent citi- zens were invited to meet him. Shortly after the dinner began, Sir John Pollock's head began to nod, and in a short time his chin was on his chest, his eyelids were drooping; he was snoring and fast asleep. The other guests were aghast, but, with true New England politeness, they went right on C97] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 with their conversation and paid no heed to him whatever. In a short time Sir John woke up and resumed his conversa- tion with his neighbors. In due course the party went out and had their cigars, etc. (it was a stag party), and Sir John took his leave rather early, and his host accompanied him to the door. On his return he was plied immediately with questions as to whether Sir John apologized, because there was a general feeling that his deportment was, to say the least, quite an innovation, if not a breach of international comity. "Well," the host said, "he did n't exactly apolo- gize, but, just as he was going out of the door, he said: 'I am stopping, you know, with Dean Wright, and they rise very early at the dean's.' " [Laughter.] 'Varsity Football Team of '79 Now we are passing on chronologically, you realize. There is the football team of the next year. That is the last "fifteen." That team had an honorable record, but they were not champions, as I recollect it. [98: THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY There is the old Cabinet Building, where the read- ing-room was. I reproducethatbe- cause it has gone out of existence; you can see it no more. A Voice Cabinet Building That is where we had Newton. Old Laboratory Toast-master: Here is the old building at the left where Professor Arthur Wright held forth. As he said the other night, the incandescent lamp which he exhibited to us he believed to be the first incandescent lamp that was ever exhibited or lighted in Connecticut. I remembered that fact; but I want to say (which I did not say to him) that I re- membered also the fact that Professor Wright said that the electric light would, no doubt, play a very important part in outdoor illumination, but it would probably never be used for interior illumination [laughter], showing the short- sightedness of even the most enlightened. C99] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 "Penikeese" Now that is a group of the "Penikeese" opera caste. I should like to have Billie Williams or somebody tell who some of those disreputable-looking characters are. Williams: There is Frank Snell, Miss Gaffney, who sang in Trinity Church at that time, Woodward, etc. [Naming them.] ** 1R* IS-* Professor Phelps Professor Dana Toast-master: We have had the men who are particu- larly dear to our class, and these are two of the men who C IO °3 THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY typify the old Yale. "There were giants in those days." Those were two of the grand old men. You know the after career of Professor Phelps as Minister to England, and Professor Dana, of course, is also gone. President Porter [Long-continued applause and cheers.] President Porter's characteristics have been splendidly portrayed in some verses by Rogers of '83, and I will read you just a verse or two of his tribute : Alike all loved him: careful student, drone, Scapegrace or steady man ; all knew His mild reproof was for their help alone, And his reproofs were few. No man remembers him to have his heart Tingle with some keen, unforgotten smart. No gift of comeliness had he, scant grace Of bearing, little pride of mien — He had the rugged old-time Roundhead face, Severe and yet serene ; But, through those keen and steadfast eyes of blue The soul shone fearless, modest, strong, and true. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Glee Club This is the Glee Club, senior year. I want to say that of course it was impossible to get a complete collection of the athletic teams or other views, so I just picked out these that are shown as typical. You will look upon this view with variable degrees of pleasure, probably. 'Varsity Crew of '82 There is the university crew, senior year: Hull, Storrs, Rogers, Parrott, and others. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Football Team of '81 One more football team. They were the champions that year, and, as I remember it, that year we had the tri-cham- pionship, the triple crown. [Applause.] Varsitv Ball Nine of '82 There is the ball nine, the 'varsity of senior year. They were the champions. That is one of the nines that used to beat the professionals. That was a great team, boys. If HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 I am not mistaken, that was the year that Harry Piatt led the batting list of all the intercollegiate nines; is that so, Harry? Piatt: No, it is not so. [He led the fielding in '81.] Badger: I want to tell you one thing. We saw the ball game played to-day. When Harry Piatt played on that ball team, he said: "Badger, I can't do the trick." I said: u Yes, you must, Harry." He said: "Then I will try." He showed me his arm. From the shoulder down to his wrist it was absolutely black and blue. Harry Piatt played the game out for old Yale and '82, and we won out. [Ap- plause.] May I say one thing more? You remember to-day that the first baseman jumped up in the air and caught the ball, and the man running was not out. I said to Harry: "I tell you, Harry, if that had been Sam Hopkins, he would have lengthened out." [Laughter.] Parsons: Boys, three times three for Harry Piatt. Toast-master: Badger's allusion to Sam Hopkins re- minds me of some quotation, I don't know whom it is from, but it runs to the effect that "Their endowments make these base men great." [Loud laughter.] ['82 trophies.] [Reproduction on opposite page.] In lieu of showing all the teams in whose honors '82 shared, I will just show in this picture a few of our trophies. These are the trophies of senior year. It is impossible to show all on a screen only about five, by six feet. Badger (pointing) : That is the one "Tufa" Darling and I won in the three-legged race. I have it in my room now. Toast-master: Fellows, we do not look upon athletics as the chief thing in college life, but we think they have a good deal to do with the development of the Yale spirit. I think that is about the last of the athletic pictures, and now sup- pose we give three times three cheers for the athletes of Yale of our time. C I0 4] '82 Trophies HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Parsons: Three times three for the athletes of our time and of our own class. Pardee: I want to give three times three for Chester Lyman for thinking of all these pictures and pulling them out here, for he is the only man that w T ould think of it. Toast-master : You wait, please, until I get through. [Graduation group.] [Reproduction on opposite page.] Here is the graduation group of our class, taken at the old State House. That shows how T nice a thing it is to select a good background, because the old State House is no more, and that view is of historic interest to us all. I should like to have the lights turned up, and if you will turn to the songs of '82, you will find the Parting Ode there. Let us sing the Parting Ode, because that was the breaking up, that was the end of the first era of '82. PARTING ODE BY J. E. WHITNEY Swift our college days have passed, Like a vision fleeting, Filled with joys too bright to last, Down the years retreating ; And the ever earnest call Of the years advancing, Speaking to us one and all, Breaks the dream entrancing. While we swell the parting strain, Be it softly spoken, We shall never meet again In a band unbroken. But though severed far and wide, With new scenes delighted, Time nor tide can e'er divide Hearts at Yale united.

We will live for Eighty-two, And for Alma Mater. Then before the last farewell Let us pledge to cherish In our hearts their happy spell Till remembrance perish. Barclay Johnson Ernest Whitney Toast-master : Boys, "lest we forget,'' here are two of the men who were very prominent in our college life, and would have been prominent in after life, had their lives been pre- served. I reproduce this because Barclay, as you know, was our valedictorian, a lovable fellow, and Whitney was our class poet, a lovable fellow. They stand for that large number who have gone already. Wentworth was the first. Barnes, though not in our class at the time, followed quickly. OS] THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Shortly after we were graduated, Cuyler went over to the beyond, and then, one after another, some of our best men went. Now let us not forget that all these men were an important element in our class, and simply because they have gone ahead, let us not fail to cherish their memories. Let us stand and drink a toast to the dead, a silent toast. Now, while we are standing, I want you to sing the Ivy Ode, which Whitney composed. The air is "Lorelei." IVY ODE O Ivy newly starting In tenderness and grace, Our final clasp at parting Above thy resting place Shall hallow thee forever, While memory is true To ties that now we sever Around dear 'Eighty-two. May Spring give thee the vigor To flourish in thy seat, Despite the Winter's rigor, And Summer's scorching heat; May rains and sunbeams gentle Like blessings on thee fall, Until thy beauties mantle The cold and naked wall. O lend us inspiration To live as thou wilt live, Whatever be our station, To ever nobly strive With fairest deeds of duty, Though fond ambition fail, To deck with fadeless beauty The name of dear old Yale. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 [Twentieth reunion group.] [Reproduction on page 51.] Now we come down almost to the present. We have reached the end of our college reminiscences. This is the '82 group, with which most of you are familiar, and I think I need not delay with it, the twentieth anniversary group. Tutor Hadlev President Hadlev Those show Hadley as he was in our time, and as he was a short time ago. Let 's have three times three for the tutor and for the President. [Three times three for President Hadlev.] I am introducing Holland now a little out of place, be- cause he is unable to be here to respond to the toast as billed. I am sure he is most regretful himself. That is Ted Holland in his most re- cent photograph. He sent on Ted Holland THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY some very interesting lines which will be read later. Ted is out in Denver, and only the call of duty prevented his being here. I have had correspondence with him, and Billie has, and he was keen to get here, and it was only a sense of duty that kept him away. That is Senator Kittredge of South Dakota as he is. He was unable to be here because, as I understand it, his continuing to be Senator hinged upon his remaining out West and conducting a vigorous campaign. I want to say, as you perhaps know, he is known as the silent Sen- ator, and he certainly is a wonderfully modest man. I had great difficulty in even getting a picture of him. I had men searching the pho- tograph galleries of Wash- ington, and all they could find was a negative. I don't know whether that indicates that he is so modest as not to have his picture taken, or whether they are in such demand that the supply is exhausted. Kit, as you know, has been a conspicuous figure in Washington, and his reputation rests largely upon his vigorous fight, first, for the Panama Canal, and, secondarily, for having the canal built on a level. It seems that they were not willing to have the canal built "on the level," so that I think that scores a point for our mem- ber. We little thought that Kit would become the biggest dig of the class. [Applause and three times three for the Senator.] Senator Kittredge CiiO HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 At Triennial At Present The Class Bov That is Russell Yale O'Hanlon, although I think at the time the picture was taken it was Russell Yale Hanlon, which reminds me of the story of a fellow by the name of Hooley who came over from Ireland. He said: "When I first went to work, I was called Pat, and pretty soon they began to call me Patrick Hooley. I became foreman of our job, and they called me Mr. Hooley. When I became alder- man they called me the Honorable Mr. Hooley, and one day I was walking up Fifth Avenue with my wife, and I went into one of the churches, and started to walk up the aisle, when all the people got up and began to sing 'Hooley, Hooley, Hooley!' ' [Laughter.] There is the boy, and there is the man. That picture was taken in the Sierras, where he was an engineer. He was a self-educated engi- neer. I gather from his history that O'Hanlon was unable to afford himself a college education, so he took a course in the Scranton Correspondence School and made himself C"2] THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY an engineer, and has gone on very successfully, up step by step, and at the present time he is in Korea in connection with the Oriental Randolph Exploration Company, or some- thing of the sort. I have a notion that it is one that I Iarry Piatt may know something about, but I am not sure. Piatt: Mr. Toast-master, I propose three times three for the Class Boy. Toast-master: When the questions were sent out by Dill- ingham in preparation for our record, I was astonished at the thoroughness of them. It seemed to me that he had pro- vided for everything excepting for what an X-ray picture would show, for he had asked all kinds of questions con- ceivable. He had even asked you to fill in statistics in regard to your grandchildren! I did n't know whether that was in anticipation of the fact that the records might be some time in coming out [derisive laughter], judging from past ex- perience (due, of course, not to any remissness on the part of the publication committee, but to the great difficulty of getting replies quickly). In looking over the twentieth reunion record, I noticed that Dil- lingham, in his preface, spoke of the short-Qommgs of the record. It seemed to me that a more proper term would have been the long- comings of the record. [Laugh- ter.] Now, by a sagacity which is very remarkable, they have pro- vided for things just as they are, and others of the class have not been idle either. I don't know whether to commend most those who prepared the questions as to who your grandchildren were, or those who were at work producing grandchildren, because, boys of '82, that is your first grandchild! [Applause.] I C»33 The Class Grandchild HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 don't know his, her, or its exact name, but I know that it is the grandchild of Chummie Eaton. [Loud applause and three times three for our grandchild.] It is a fact, and the baby is only a few days old, less than two weeks, I think, and it is the child of Chummie EJaton's daughter, and but for that event Chummie would be with us to-night. Allen: I did n't know it affected the grandfathers that way, Chester. [Laughter.] Toast-master : This is an opportune time, before proceeding to expatiate on this present picture before us, to allude to a message that I have here, two mes- sages in fact, if I can find them. You know that we expected Brewster here, and you know what an earnest, enthusiastic fel- low he is, and he set his heart on coming, but there was an event anticipated in his family which made it very uncertain as to whether he would come or not. I learned this from a doc- tor who has recently arrived from Salt Lake City, and we also have a telegram from him. You know Brewster was a good deal of a wit, but I think the best joke that he ever perpetrated is comprised in this despatch from him, which reads: "I must abandon trip; little William will not hurry." [Laughter.] Shortly before I came over here this evening, I received this despatch: "William came to-night, and yells for '82." [Applause and three times three for little William Brewster.] You remember, those of you who were here two years [114] Welles Kennon Rice THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY ago at the ball game, how the result hung in the balance, and the class boy of '80, the class that was holding its twen- ty-fifth anniversary, stepped up to the bat, hit the ball, and made a home run, and that was accounted the most delight- ful event of the anniversary of the class of '8o. Now this is anticipating a little, but I want to introduce to you now the son of Rice, Welles Kennon Rice, who is a member of the university crew, and will surely do creditable work next Thursday, and it would certainly be a great satisfaction to us if we could see him, and the other seven men who will probably help him some, carry the boat over the line ahead of Harvard. [Loud applause and three times three for young Rice.] Rice: Billie kindly gave me a badge for the boy, which I have sent down to him, and if they win, the '82 badge will go over the line first. [Ap- plause.] The boy sent his thanks to the class for it. Toast-master : I want to bring in the man on whom more eyes in this country are fixed than perhaps on anybody else, excepting the President. And we hope some day (I think a great many of us do, but I don't want to make any political issue at all) that he will be the successor of Presi- dent Roosevelt, and those of us who can do so conscien- tiously will support him and • Biir Taft will welcome seeing such a sterling, typical, representative Yale man as Bill I aft suc- ceed to the Presidency. [Applause.] It reminds me of a C"5n HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 little story that I heard about him. He was having his shoes shined on a public stand, and he was being very much annoyed by newspaper boys trying to sell him papers. A friend waiting for him finally said to the boys: ''There is no use asking that man to buy, or talking to that man; he is deaf, he can't hear what you say." "Gee whiz!" said the bow "is that so? He 's a fat son-of-a-gun, ain't he?" [Laughter.] That is "Ting." I sup- pose you are more or less familiar with his career, and with the fact that he has risen to high rank in China, and has had a very honora- ble career since he left col- lege. For twenty years, I think, he was confidential secretary and adviser of Li Hung Chang, who is looked upon by all Chinese and the world at large as being the greatest Chinese statesman of our day, and Sir Chen- tung Liang Cheng, the pres- ent Chinese Minister, said that very much of the credit that had been given to Chang for broad views was due, no doubt, to the counsel and advice of his confidential ad- viser and secretary, our old friend "Ting." "Ting," as you probably know, is to succeed the present Chinese Min- ister, Sir Chentung, and we hoped to have him here to- night, but he will not come to this country for a month or two. After being secretary of Chang, he was made taotai of Tientsin, and that is a very high position and office, and a very remunerative one. I am told that his salary was ^ing" as an Undergraduate THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY three hundred thousand dollars a year, but that, in a spirit of retrenchment, they had cut the salary down to one hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars; still, as Sam I [opkins very aptly said, "every day counts when you are getting a salarv of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year." [Laugh- ter and applause.] Welch: I want to say here is a telegram that came from "Ting" by which some of that salary goes into the '82 fund. [Three times three for "Ting."] "Ting" Liang Toast-master: In the center you see "Ting" as he is now or w r as quite recently; the center dignitary is "Ting," and is n't it quite interesting to see the changes in the man? "Ting" was w r ith us about three years, but during a revolu- tion in the government he w r as recalled. It was not within the range of possibilities for him to complete his course and take his degree. But I am authorized to state to the mem- HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 bers of the class only that the faculty have recommended that he receive the degree of A.B., with enrolment in the class as of '82, and the corporation will confirm it to-mor- row, and the announcement will be duly made. [Applause.] "TING" LIANG (Dedicated to the new Chinese Minister) 1 We revel in song, Oo-long and ping-pong, Far o'er the ocean and with deep emotion Make love to "our best" At the chop-suey fest As with chop-sticks we beat on a gong. Chorus: "Ting" Liang, "Ting" Liang, Oo-long, ping-pong, Those are the principal words of our song, "Ting" Liang, "Ting" Liang, Oo-long, ping-pong, As with chop-sticks we beat on a gong. Toast-master: The class has achieved honor in almost every sphere of activity that I can think of, but it seems as though in the medical profession we had been quite pre- eminent. In various cities East and West we have men w T ho stand high in the medical profession. Here is the man who, as you know, was one of the quiet workers in college, who 1 Although generally understood to be the appointee at this time, "Ting" was subsequently appointed President of the Board of Foreign Affairs, and did not come to this country. £"*1 THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY has gone steadily forward, who has advanced not only by reason of his accomplishments, but by reason of his per- sonal character— such an important element in a suc- cessful professional man, particularly in medicine. That preeminence which he enjoys in Xew York and in the country has received the recognition of all his confreres in the profes- sion. They have united, some of the most eminent physicians have united, in seeking for him some rec- ognition from his Alma Mater, and I have the pleasure of announcing (I think this is news to almost all of you), and this is . Cragin anticipating another an- nouncement of to-morrow T , that Cragin will receive the de- gree of M.A. [Applause.] I wish I could quote to you some of the high testimonials which it was my privilege to read from some of the most eminent men in the country in regard to his attainments. To be slightly "levitious" —to use the word he coined in classroom — I saw a list of the works that he has contributed to the science of medi- cine and surgery, and he has written whole volumes on sub- jects which it makes me blush to even think about. [Laugh- ter.] I am sure that even the titles must be excluded from our class record, or the records will be excluded from the mails. Let 's give three times three cheers for Cragin, one of the most eminent men of the class. C»93 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 I have been really anticipating, and I must go back a bit to bring me down to the immediate present, and the next view will conclude the series. [Class picture taken 2 P.M., June 25, 1907.] [Repro- duction on page 54.] This is the view taken of us this afternoon at the Library, and it is an extraordinarily good view, I think. I don't think it is necessary for any one to point out who they are. [Laughter and applause.] Now I think a song would be in order. That is the end of the pictures. I hope I am not protracting the program too much. We now are down to the toasts, and we are going to ask one man to work overtime to-night, as he has already made one speech to-day. This is a man who, through accident of birth, occupied the first position in the class at the beginning of our course. His name began with A, and was first on the list when the class was divided alphabetically; but, overcom- ing or rather supplementing the advantages of birth, he very nearly held the position of supremacy, only being sur- passed by our dear valedictorian Barclay. The man whom I have in mind has devoted himself to the teaching of young men, and another accident has placed him where his influence is not in the direction of producing men for Yale, but he is doing great work in connection with a sister university. He, with President Harper, went to Chi- cago in 1890, I think, or 1892, and organized Chicago University, which has become so great an institution. This man stands as one of the representatives of a large element of our class who have devoted themselves to pedagogic work; no less than fourteen of them are so occupied, exem- plifying the saying, which is very common in regard to Yale, that she is the "teacher of teachers." It is in recognition of that fact that we are serving to-night that beverage which must be to the pedagogues as ambrosia was to the gods and THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY demigods of the past— Teachers' Scotch. Had we known that Scotch whisky was the beverage of the teachers, I am sure more of us might have followed that line. [Laughter and applause.] I will now ask Professor Frank Frost Ab- bott to respond to the toast "Lessons." Abbott, you may recite. Abbott: Mr. Toast-master and Fellows: You have heard enough from me already. I am not really responsible for this second appearance to-day, and I want you to charge it up to the committee, to which we are charging up every- thing, of course, to-night. I have no speech to make, but now that I am on my feet, there are two things that I want to say. One is that I shall always remember that noble army of martyrs that I looked down on from the platform in Alumni Hall this morning during those two sweltering hours of oratory. When there were easy chairs and cooling drinks in the class tent, it was one of the most touching illus- trations of class loyalty that I have ever had the good for- tune to witness, to see those heroic souls sit and wait for the class of '82 to be called upon, and it will be a very pleasant thing to remember in the future. [Applause.] The other thing that I want to say (because I am not going to take the time of the others who are to follow, and whom you want to hear more than you want to hear me) — the other thing that I want to say is suggested by the flatter- ing remarks, unnecessarily flattering remarks, which the toast-master made in introducing me. After hearing them, I feel that perhaps I ought to say a word in excuse of my apparent falling from grace in the choice of a profession. Many of us did not have the pleasantest impressions in all cases of the man behind the desk twenty-five years ago. [Laughter.] But Fate has put me there for the last twenty years or more ; yet there are extenuating circumstances which I think even such a rigid jurist as our learned classmate from Waterbury, for example, or my distinguished legal 00 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 friend here at the right would regard as lessening the hein- ousness of the offense. For instance (this is personal, be- cause this is a family party to-night), I have tried to take our soft-spoken clergyman friend of freshman year, whose memory is still green with some of us, as a warning, not as an example. [Applause.] I have also tried to put myself in the place of the man on the bench. I have remembered that list of fine fellows, which runs from J. Allen, M. Allen, Atterbury, Badger, Bailey, to Wells, Wight, Williams, and Wright. I try to remember that what happens in the classroom does n't count. It was our life together outside the classroom that did count, and I think we have all felt here this week, more perhaps than we even felt in college, that the coming to know one hundred and fifty or more fine fellows, in fair weather and in foul, is the thing that is really worth while. When you and I have happened to meet during the last five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years, and during this last week, when we have talked over things together, we have not talked about geometry or political economy, or even about that most fascinating subject of Latin, but we have talked of the little things that happened to us together. Not that these small happenings were in themselves important; they were not tragic; they were not so very funny, either, but they were significant to us because they brought up the old days, because they were a part of our life here together. So the first thing we think of in these reunions is not, it seems to me, what men in the class have done in the last twenty-five years, for we knew they would do things worth doing in the world, but it is what they were as men twenty- five years ago, what they are as men to-day. [Applause.] Of course we are proud of their achievements. When peo- ple talk, for instance, about the relations between the far East and America, we think of one of the members of our class who has had and still has so distinguished a part in C I22 3 THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY directing them, as the toast-master said a few minutes ago. When any one speaks of the Panama Canal, we call to mind another member of our class who has laid broad and deep the legal foundations of that enterprise. Still other '82 men are at the top of their professions in the law, in medi- cine, in education; yet it is not thai that we think of. We knew they could do these things. It is what they were and what they are as men which appeals to us. [Applause.] There is only one other thing I want to say before giving way to the eloquence which is to follow, a thing which has come on me very strongly during this past week, to which Chester has already referred — the fact that our class has had no clique, no factions, that it has been a unit; that, from the night before entering, when we locked arms on the old Grammar School lot in the face of a common enemy, up to the day when we marched together onto the platform at Center Church, we have faced the same music, we have been one; and that spirit of solidarity, which I believe we may claim is a peculiar characteristic of the class of '82, is one of the pleasantest memories and one of the finest recollections that I, at least (and I think the same is true of all of us) , will carry away from this week of reunion here. [Prolonged applause.] Toast-master : Scanning — we were wont to look with aversion, I think, upon the task of scanning when we were in college; but it is one thing to have to scan, and another thing to have the scanning done for you. Holland has sent on some poetical lines which I am going to ask another member of the class to read. There is a saying that next praiseworthy to the man who creates a great expression is he who first quotes it. I think that may be slightly changed so as to apply to the work of the one who will now act as the voice of Holland. I will ask Palmer to read Holland's message to the class. Palmer: When Lyman asked me to read these lines, he c i2 3n HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE *82 asked me to read them as my own. I thought I was going to grasp a halo of glory, but he has not only put Holland's name on the program, but shown you his picture, so there is nothing in it for me at all. But I will proceed: When the fun is at its height In the middle of the night, Pause, and think Of the classmates far away, And let some good fellow say, "Take a drink!" BEING A FEW INCONSEQUENTIAL LINES INSCRIBED BY THEODORE HOLLAND TO HIS CLASSMATES OF YALE '82 IN BEHALF OF ANY UNFORTUNATE WHO, LIKE HIMSELF, MIGHT BE CALLED "THE MAN WHO COULD N'T COME" There 's a rumor borne by the evening breeze Which has reached 'way out to me. It started, they say, in the old elm-trees In a city by the sea — In a city celebrated for Its university. It has found its way over hill and dale, Over mountain and river and plain, To the ramparts high that cut the sky Where the Rockies rise amain And peaks glow bright in the sunset light Like domes of a gilded fane. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY The seismographs, the world around, Are recording the earthquake shocks, And a tidal wave has swept the land From Bridgeport to Windsor Locks, While here — two thousand miles away — I feel the trembler's knocks. Then tell me, ye elements convulsed ! Tell me, thou waning moon ! What mean these fearsome portents? Say ! Does the end of the world come soon ? And the earth and air and sky reply : " 'T is the twenty-fifth of June!" Ah ! Now I see why these things be ; And I know r , full well, 't is true That the ivied walls where the sparrow- calls Are held by a motley crew ; For to-night 's the night that is owned outright By the class of eighty-two. Gathered around the festive board, They come from over the land To feel the joy of the college boy And the grasp of a comrade's hand, Ere the hour-glass of the good old class Has emptied its load of sand. No doubt the place has greatly changed — More than some of us can know r — Since we sat in the shade the elm-trees made Five and twenty years ago ; And modern halls now rear their walls Where stood the old brick row. The college fence, where we loved to sit And see the girls trip by, HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Where jest and song, when days grew long, Made the happy hours fly, Has passed away like a vanished day, To live but in memory. Doubtless the songs we used to sing Are old-fashioned and out of date And would be "2, 3," if they reached the ears Of the undergraduate. For is n't it strange how all things change? Well, cheer up! Such is Fate! But I fancy the years have left their mark On other than fence and wall, And some will come with whitened locks, And some with no locks at all ; And many who seem in the summer of life, But more in the early fall. Time will have left his seal on all In some conspicuous way. The trousers that most of us used to wear Will never meet to-day; There will be a general look, I fear, Of October instead of May. The telltale lines about the mouth, The touch of gray in the hair, Will indicate we are headed "south," While a crow's-foot, here and there, Will show necessity, alas ! For general repair. But here we are for what we are In several degree : The doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief, The Reverend D.D. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY From here, from there, from everywhere— A noble sight to see ! The man who entered politics And glories in the strife; The man who does not care to "mix," But leads "the simple life" ; The banker and the poet, The surgeon with his knife. You 've had your dinners table d'hote, You 've heard that stirring call, The baccalaureate address By Prex in Woolsey Hall, Had luncheon at the Country Club, And, then, that is n't all. You 've eaten clams and chicken Where the clams and chicks abound, To wit, at the Momauguin, Which is by Long Island Sound ; You 've seen the great Yale-Harvard game. In fact, you 've looked around. But when I read the "program" (With one m, sir, s'il vous plait!) I seem to miss the good old names That marked a former day. 'T is all quite right, but here, to me, Two thousand miles away, There comes a sense of longing For the things that are no more, When, arm in arm, we pushed the baize Of Moriarty's door. Those scrambled eggs were better Than a dinner by the shore ! HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 1 seem to see the foaming mugs, To see the buxom dame Who often stopped her knitting And from her parlor came To chide some ribald youth whose song Was lost to sense of shame. The cellar where Gus Traeger drew The beer so highly prized (When "Ein, noch einmal, zwei, noch einmal, Hyrusasized"), It tasted mighty good to us Although not sterilized. I see the homeward sailing crews — Beneath the arching elms Which, with their canopies of green, Shut out the starry realms — Making short tacks with schooner loads That will not mind their helms. Ah ! Those were happy days and nights When, with digestion placid, We sipped our beer or strolled at dark The streets we knew were lass-ied, And recked not of the wrath to come, Nor dreamed of uric acid. But stop ! There 's one name that I know, One that I can recall : The Wheeler & Wilson Band — the Pequot House — I see it all ! And leading the "Blue Danube Waltz" That seemed to start the ball ; Guests taking hotfoot to their rooms; Proprietor in funk. Then things grow hazy, indistinct — Yours truly in his bunk, C»81 THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY While bands of Indians rip and roar — 'Most everybody drunk! And so you will forgive me If, like Riley's man, I say 1 'd give 'most anything I have "To hear the Old Band play." Just turn 'em loose, boys, once, For all the fellows far away ! I don't know who will win the race Or who will win the game; I hope when '82 lines up You '11 cheer the Blue to fame. But win or lose, what matters it? We 're Yale men just the same. Thrice happy those whose lots were cast To be here at this meeting ; To give old Yale and former friends One hearty, rousing greeting ; To snatch a day from Father Time — From hours so sw T iftly fleeting. And when the room is wreathed in smoke, And w T ine and wit are flowing; When toasts are drunk, and songs are sung, And things get really going — The time the morning star appears, And early cocks are crowing — When you have pledged each other's health And pledged the dear old class, And drunk to Yale, the "Girl in Blue" (Imperishable lass), When sentiment asserts itself, Let each man fill his glass, C I2 9] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 And, if he feels that he can stand One bumper more of Mumm, Or, if he does not like that brand, Choose any kind of rum That long experience has shown Is suited to his "turn" — That will not hurt his inner man Or put him on the bum — And think of those unfortunates (I know, alas! of some), And pledge that most unhappy chap, " The man who could n't come." [Three times three for Ted Holland.] Toast-master : Ted wanted to know all that went on here, and I am very glad to be able to report to him that his message was so cordially received. The next toast is "Rushes." Unless you stop to think of the meaning of a simple word like that, you don't realize how many significations it has. You go back into ancient history and you find that, if it were not for the rushes of the Nile, little Moses would not have found shelter in the pool, and the children of Israel might never have been led out of bondage in Egypt. Coming along down the avenue of time by leaps and bounds or rushes, we know that the first thing that threw us together as a class, and threw us against the class of '8 1, was the rush at the Grammar School lot. Then, coming into college, we remember some of the rushes which we used to hear the other fellow make, and wished we could make ourselves. The man who is going to respond to this toast is well qualified to talk about that kind of rushes. But the par- ticular kind of rushes that we had in mind when we selected the toast was the rush of life which leads to success, and the man who is going to respond exemplifies that kind, I know. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY because, only a few years after he got out of college, the people in Chicago, where he lived and where I lived for a while, were talking about the promising young lawyer, and all that was said about him has been amply fulfilled. And Chicago, as you know, is the place of rush. They even have a street named Rush Street [laughter], and, without more ado, I call upon the man who knows how to "get-there- quick"— Cyrus Bentley. [Loud applause and three times three for Cyrus Bentley.] Bentley: My dear Toast-master and Fellow Class- mates : The chill at this end of the room has so affected my voice that I am not sure that I can occupy the whole of the hour and a half which has been assigned to me; but if you will all pay attention and shut the windows, I will do the best I can, and if Jim Rice is on my side, who can be against me? I got a little agreeable information out of this program to-night. I was surprised when, on taking up the card, I saw that I was to respond to "Rushes," because I did not believe you would remember how I invariably took the brunt of the physical contests that we had with '81 and '83. It is pleasant, indeed, to me to know that you have not forgotten my physical prowess. I must say, though, that I am inclined to criticize the sentiment which goes with the toast: "He was bound to follow the suit." As I remember those occasions, I never tried to follow the suit, but was quite content to save the z//7^rclothes. The rushes which we fought out years ago, so far as I recall them now, consisted of a delirium of noise and pro- fanity, and a good many hard knocks. You played your part well, holding your breath and butting in with lowered head. As the years have passed, the elements, the distinc- tive characteristics, which took us into the rushes and kept us hard at work in them have remained for us, though the obstacles in our way are no longer human. The days of HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 physical strife for grown men are past, but obstacles there have been and are, many and serious. It is fine to think that so many of us, after twenty-live years of struggle against difficulties of one kind and another, are here to- night to recall the pleasant, if strenuous, days of the past, and to speak of the pleasant days of the present. [Ap- plause.] I don't know any better work that has been done, for which our college rushes were an education, than the work which has its climax in our feast to-night. I am sure there were innumerable obstacles, harder to overcome than the freshmen of '83, or the sophomores of '81, which our committee have fought their way through, and we all must recognize their services to the class, the indomitable charac- teristics they have displayed, and the memorable experience we owe to them. [Applause.] What is it that gives the peculiar charm and interest to such an occasion as this? Of course, foremost in all our minds is the thought that it is enough to meet together and exchange reminiscences, to look at the pictures which our thoughtful toast-master has provided for us, and to consider the ways of life which the members of our class have fol- lowed. But there is something less tangible than that, not better than that, nor more than that, but different. The years which we spent together here at Xew Haven were the preliminary years of youth. Life presented to us then no problems which we feared to face. Our ideals were un- tarnished, nor had they been proven impracticable. The struggles before us we were willing and perhaps even anx- ious to encounter; and so the associations of this occasion revive in us that spirit of youth which is the most precious possession of life, to which we should hold fast until the end. Such a tie, sentimental and subtle — perhaps indefinable — a real tie, nevertheless, binds us together. May these occa- sions be repeated for many years, for many years to come. In truth, I do believe that we shall keep our youth just in pro- THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY portion as we look forward to, and as we participate in, them. I remember I heard, when we came back for our twentieth reunion, that the twenty-fifth was the end, that men did not return very much after the twenty-fifth anniversary. I trust that will not be true of us, and that from this night we shall be planning for the next reunion, though they must not be too frequent, for the edge of them would be dulled if they were repeated very year. Through the five-year in- tervals to look forward to them and to look backward to them, and to think of all that they mean, and of the expe- riences that they revive, will surely make more efficient our work in the world, and strengthen our hope for that which is to come. [Applause.] We have lived out of college twenty-five years. That is more than half of the average life of the college graduate, but I will not think that much of sunlight does not remain. Let us sing processionals as long as Chester and Archie will write us the words, leaving the inevitable recessional to take care of itself. [Applause.] One bright afternoon not many weeks ago I went to the church at St. Denis, the sepulcher of French royalty, where marble tombs guard the anointed dust of Louis the Saint and his successors of the house of France, tenants of the kingly office. Apart from the rest, deeply hidden in the shadows of the vault beneath the altar, lie Louis the Martyr and his most unhappy queen. As I stood beside their white stone coffins, rather inclined to moralize upon the crumbling vanity of human grandeur and ambition, near-by chimes struck out upon the hour that cheerful tune to which we have, in days gone by, beneath the elms, so often sung: "Brothers, the day is ended, Lost in the surge of time." It seemed a message from the sunlit world without to those cold ashes locked in their funereal cells. 1 waited and t'33] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 listened, held bv the associations of the familiar melody, carried in imagination to our approaching class reunion; and my thoughts were gloomy as I reflected that soon enough that message of the bells would sound for each of us. But when, turning away from the sanctuary of the dead, I re- visited the outer air, instinct with life and redolent of spring, I saw what we all may see for ourselves even on this twenty- fifth anniversary; I saw that the sun was still shining; the shadows indeed were beginning to lengthen, but hours of davlight yet remained. [Long-continued applause.] Toast-master : The next toast is "Skins and Cribs," familiar to you all. The man who is to respond is peculiarly fitted bv reason of the fact that he is a dermatologist and a gyne- cologist at times. [Laughter.] He has attained a position out West that reflects honor upon him. He is not only a practitioner, but a teacher and editor, and if you knew all about the experience he had when he laid low several ''thugs'' who attacked him one night, you might say that he Avas an adventurer. He certainly had an adventure which was most remarkable. I won't dilate upon that fact, but he is qualified to talk about this toast, though not in the signi- ficance which in part it had to most of us when we were undergraduates. He can put any interpretation upon it that he wishes. I ask Foster to speak to you upon Skins and Cribs. [Applause.] Foster: Mr. Toast-master and Classmates and dear Friends : In the first place, I want to say, God bless you all ! The toast-master has assigned me to a toast which he knew I very well knew I did n't know anything about. I saw it for the first time this evening when I read the pro- gram, and consequently I am going to ignore it entirely. Before I say a word — and I shall make mv message to you very brief— I want to express again, for the second time to-day, my own appreciation and gratitude to those who have prepared for us this beautiful hospitality which we THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY have all enjoyed for these several days. I have been back to very few of these meetings, and I had no idea of what was going to greet me when I reached Xew Haven. I had read something about a club-house and a dormitory, but I looked forward to a sort of crowded, uncomfortable time, the discomfort of which I was quite willing to undergo for the pleasure it would give me, but I had no idea I was going to be surrounded by all the comforts and luxuries I could find at home. All these things have been prepared for us by our committee, who have striven so hard for our plea- sure and comfort. Again I want to thank them, and I think I speak for all of you when I say that they deserve the thanks and credit of every one of us. [Applause and motion seconded.] Gentlemen, I have lived for twenty-five years a long ways from all of you. It has not been my privilege to come to many of our meetings. This is the third meeting I think I have attended of the class. I came to the triennial, and I was here ten years ago. I have been with you, however, in spirit at every meeting. I have received the invitations, and I have, I think, almost always responded to them, but, unfor- tunately, it has not been my fortune to attend the meetings. I have regretted it, and I know what I have missed. I hare, however, kept in touch, so far as I could, with the members of the class of '82. I have read every line that I have seen printed in our class records, and I have read and been inter- ested in everything that every man of '82 has done, and while, from certain points of view, perhaps we have not produced any men who have done great work such as would entitle them to a niche in the Hall of Fame, we have, I be- lieve, been successful in life. As I look around me to-night and see our classmates after twenty-five years (seventy-five per cent., I think, of the living class of '82 are here to- night), the class of '82 has taken as high a rank as any class that has ever graduated from Yale College and has met HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 with as much success in life. What is success in life? It is measured, of course, by different standards, but, according to my code of ethics, which is a very simple one, a man is suc- cessful who has a happy family life, who keeps himself in good health, keeps his bills paid, and who keeps his reputation clean. [Applause.] There are men who acquire wealth, some of them honestly, and some of them by other means, but I don't look upon wealth as a measure of success. I look around me at a prosperous, healthy, fine set of fellows who were my classmates, and whom I am proud to have been the classmate of, and every one of whom I believe is my friend to-dav. I assure you, gentlemen, that if any one of you ever comes into the Northwest where I live — and I am the only '82 man in the State of Minnesota (Kittredge is a few miles from the State of Minnesota) — I assure you, gentle- men, that if any of you ever come to the State of Minne- sota, I will throw the gates wide open and give you a royal hospitality. [Applause.] You have been, gentlemen, I think, rather surfeited with verses to-night, but in a sentimental moment (and I some- times still have them) I wrote a few lines which I wanted to dedicate to the class of '82. They are very brief, and, with your permission, I will read them. [Applause and three times three for Burnside Foster.] AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS Dear Mother Yale, who made us what we are. To whom as boys we came, with whom to manhood grew, Again we come with greetings from afar To offer thee that reverence which is thy due. The years have flown since on that day in June We stepped from thy gates, regretfully but proud ; The day of parting had come all too soon. But each was eager for life's busy crowd. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Armed with thy strength, thy courage, and thy love, We started forth, each on our several ways. Bright was the day, and clear the skies above, The path looked easy to our youthful gaze. Within our veins there beat the pulse of Yale, Within each heart was something that Yale had given, Something which said to each, "You cannot fail," And, with that something, toward our goals we 'vc striven. What is that gift which every son of Yale Bears with him when he leaves her halls? What is that talisman which tempers every gale Alike to him who conquers or who falls? My classmates, friends, and fellow sons of Yale, Answer yourselves, what is the best of gifts? In your life's battle what does most avail To help you win? What most your burdens lifts? It is a feeling words cannot define, It is a spirit common to us all, Which Yale has breathed into your lives and mine, W T hich never sleeps, which hears Yale's every call. That spirit makes us sure to do our part, To do our best, not for ourselves alone, For where there beats the true Yale heart There stands a man to be depended on. The sons of Yale, a mighty, loyal band, Loyal to selves, to country, and to Yale, Are found wherever in this mighty land Are needed strength and courage to prevail. So we come back year after year To meet and greet each other, To sing Yale's songs and cheer Yale's cheer, And to honor our common Mother. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Few years at best remain to us Ere we go, when or whither No man can tell, no man can guess, But Yale shall live forever ! So let us make the best of life, As long as life shall last, And when we cease our toil and strife, When the tide is ebbing fast — Then lift the cup, let no man fail, Good friends of Eighty-two; Let 's drink one final toast to Yale — God bless the dear old Blue ! [Long-continued applause.] Toast-master: I should have added to my characteriza- tion of the last speaker the words poet and all-round spell- binder. [Laughter.] The next toast will be responded to by another one of the representatives of the pedagogic profession, who has been charged with a great responsibility in the rearing of boys during those ages when they are most susceptible to influences, good or bad, and I know that the men who have boys appreciate that it is a great thing to have schools at the head of which are men of sterling character, of such true principles that you are willing to take your boys from your families and your homes and intrust them to them. [Ap- plause.] The next speaker has been at the head of a very important preparatory educational institution since 1890; seventeen years he has occupied that position and fulfilled its responsibility, and in that time has sent to Yale many boys who have reflected credit upon his institution and upon those principles which he instilled into them. I will ask Pratt to speak upon "Marks and Remarks." [Applause.] Pratt: Mr. Toast-master and Fellow Classmates, THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY whom I have met with joy and pleasure to which it is im- possible to give expression: I want to reiterate the thanks, the personal thanks which I feel to the committee for the royal good time and the excellence of their preparation. When I received an imitation from the committee to be on the program to-night, I rubbed my eyes and looked at the letter again to see if there had been some mistake in the name : "For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech." In fact, when I scanned the list of my classmates endowed with wit and humor, and ability to make an after-dinner speech, I felt that the committee, having tried elsewhere, must have been in the predicament of Charlie Huggins, and I in the situation of Mayme, who said: "Charlie Huggins made desperate love to me last night." "Ah," replied Edyth, "I am not at all surprised. He has been desperate ever since I refused him." [Laughter.] The honor, however, was too tempting to admit a re- fusal, and I gladly embrace the opportunity to say some- thing to those I have seen, most not at all, some only once or twice in a quarter of a century. Doubtless some word of the growth and development of old Yale, now new Yale, and a discussion of her problems and needs, and how we are to help her, would be in order. This I will leave to others better versed in the subject, though I might remark, in passing, that, when I read of the attitude of the university in regard to the gift of the Stan- dard Oil magnate, I was reminded of the story of the darky preacher's discourse on tainted money, which concluded somewhat as follows : "Brethren and sisterens, w'en yo' stops ter kinsider de mil- lions and millions and millions dis yhere man owns, and in- spect dese yhere millions 'longside his gifts, de inspection C1393 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 am powerful queer. Now hit ain't fo' me to enquire whar de money comes from dat each member of my flock draps in de plate, en I don't 'zackly see why fo' my colleagues up North ask questions— de onliest taint I bin able ter diskiver 'bout dis yhere tainted money is 'tain't 'nuff." [Loud laugh- ter and applause.] Leaving the consideration of larger questions, my thought turned to a more personal side of our gathering, and I re- called some of the stories extant concerning a few of our number, for the authenticity of which, however, I will not vouch. When I remember the ability of all the men in '82, not only to express themselves, but to discriminate in the choice of a wife, adhering to the doctrine of evolution, and the development and improvement of the race, I cannot be- lieve that one of them, when asked about his daughter: "What did you think of your daughter's graduation essay?" replied: "I did n't permit myself to think about it. I simply did my duty and admired it." Kittredge has been our most successful standard-bearer in politics, and it is said that, not being entirely on the side of the administration, he loves to repeat a conversation he overheard between two Irishmen who met after a period of absence. After the first greeting one asked: u Hov yez heard the news?" "Naw," the other said. "What news?" "The Pope is dead." "Which wan? Toledo Pope?" "Naw. The real Pope; the Pope of Rome." "Well, now, that 's too bad, too bad! I hope Misther Roosevelt won't app'int a Protesthant in his place." We teachers, though set down as dictatorial members of the community, sometimes get our deserts. It is said that one of our number, who teaches in a famous school in New England, on seeing one of the small boys in the study hall with very dirty hands, said to him: "Jamie, I wish you would not come to the hall with your hands soiled that way. What would you say if I came here with soiled hands?" [HO] THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY "I would n't say anything, 1 ' was the prompt reply. k 'l \1 be too polite." [Laughter.] I am going to tell you something on Wight, who lived for a while in Wisconsin, and possibly you know that in Wiscon- sin we have a rather large foreign element. It was said that when he was visited by some friends on one occasion he was rather long coming into the reception-room. "I 'm sorry to have kept you waiting," he remarked, as he entered, "but I have just had to perform a wooden wedding in the church." "What !" said one of his visitors. "I never heard of such a thing. What kind of ceremony was it?" "Oh," answered the clergyman, with a twinkle in his eye, "it was the marriage of a couple of Poles." [Laughter.] The lawyers must not be neglected in this recital of anec- dotes. Yet I wonder if it was any of the class of '82 that was badgering an unfortunate witness in cross-examination. In reply to one of the questions the victim began: "I think—" "We don't want you to think," interrupted the lawyer. "We want your testimony." "Unfortunately, then," he retorted, "I am unable to answer; for in giving testimony, not being a lawyer, I am obliged to think." Another, though I have it from good authority, I am in- clined to doubt. Soon after our graduation, when the pres- ent distinguished array of legal talent had yet its reputation to make, and was still ready to accept some humble em- ployment at the bar, a prisoner was brought before the bar in the criminal court, but was not represented by a lawyer. "Where is your lawyer?" inquired the judge who presided. "I have none," responded the prisoner. "Why have n't you?" "Have n't any money to pay a lawyer," he replied. "Do you want a lawyer?" asked the judge. "Yes, your honor." "There are Walter Badger and Hercules Bates and Albert Atterbury," said the judge, pointing to a group of young attorneys who were about the court, waiting for something to turn up, "and Cy Bentley is out in the corridor." HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 The prisoner eyed the budding attorneys in the court- room, and after a critical survey stroked his chin and said: "Well, I guess I will take Mr. Bentley." [Loud bursts of laughter.] A Voice: As long as he did n't take John Kellogg, he was all right. [Laughter.] A Voice: He would have got six months if he had. [Renewed laughter and cries of "That 's right."] Prat l: Cragin was one of us grinds in college. You all remember that as long as Harry Piatt haunted the Elysian Fields of the first division, having an eye to Cragin's inter- ests, he always assisted, with an imaginary crank, the halt- ing efforts of Cragin, weighed down with information, to unburden his knowledge upon the professor. In spite of Cragin's high-stand proclivities, and in defiance of all well- established rules in regard to the etiquette of high-stand men after college days, he has amounted to something, is a professional and social success, and has a dry humor of his own. It is related of him that a charming New York hostess — one of the four hundred, for aught I know — remarked one evening to him : "I am sorry, doctor, you were not able to attend my supper last night ; it would have done you good to be there." "It has already done me good, madam," he replied; "I have just prescribed for three of the guests." [Laughter.] On another occasion he was in the hospital operating upon a man for appendicitis. When the man came to (as they sometimes do), he said: "Why, it seems to me, doctor, I have seen you before." The doctor said: "Well, I don't know but you have." Said the patient: "You remember a man who was hurt in an accident a while ago and you ampu- tated my right forefinger?" The doctor said: "Why, yes, I do remember that." Said he: "You ought to be satisfied now; you took my index then, and now you have got my ap- pendix." [Laughter.] THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY As I look about on your faces to-night, it seems scarcely possible that twenty-five years have elapsed since we armed ourselves with sheepskins and proudly marched forth to battle with the world. Many of you seem to have drunk of the fountain of perpetual youth. There is Billie Parsons, the proud father of five promising children. He does n't look a day older than he did when he stood by my side on the platform at Center Church, while President Porter bombarded us with a volley of Latin, and Professor (now President) Northrop kindly instructed us sot to -core, in English, when to make our bow and disappear in the crowd. I can readily believe what Mel Clement told about Billie, not only because Mel was superintendent at Bethany Sun- day School, and, having been a teacher there myself, I am bound to believe him, but because Billie's whole appearance bears it out. It seems that in 1904 Billie took his w T ife and boys to Eu- rope, where he left them, returning unattended. On the w r ay back he found on the steamer a charming young lady, to whom, true to the traditions of his class, he proceeded to make himself agreeable. As the liner was entering New York Harbor, the young lady was heard to inquire of an- other Yale man: "Did Mr. Parsons graduate in 1900 or 1 901?" So it is with many another. Time has dealt gently with us. The struggle with the world has developed character and strength in our countenances, but the youthful spirit shines there triumphant over care and responsibility and life's work. We greet each other with friendly handshake and recognize the fruition of the promise of our college days. Each has made for himself a place in his community, and is giving of himself to those about him. Various de- grees of worldly success have attended us, but our aim is still faithfully and earnestly to do the work our hands find to do. And here we meet, while ours is yet the fighting line, HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 to gain the cheer that comes from mutual greeting, to hear of one another's welfare, and to renew the friendship of college days. And yet, were we to satisfy ourselves with mutual well- wishing, the reminiscences of bygone days, and the story of our careers, the occasion would be incomplete to me. There is a deeper chord to strike. College days may have left us careless boys, but a quarter-century has not passed with- out many an experience to make us think. I, for one, have been brought face to face with fundamental questions : Whence came our life and whither does it tend? Is there a God? What is all this life for? Does death end all? And as they have rung in my ears, there have come before me the faces of the strong and gentle Campbell; the bright and promising Curtis; of Whitney with his sweet and lovable disposition; of Hand, transparent in his goodness and sin- cerity, and the others whose faces we miss here and whom we shall no more see on earth. And I have asked myself: "Can it be that their thought was the vibration of matter? that their noble intellectual and spiritual qualities had no foundation but in atoms and molecules, or, as we must say •to-day, in electrons? Is there no life apart from this mortal body, and must we look to have thought and hope and faith and love extinguished when we cease to breathe?" No, classmates, I cannot believe it, and I am not voicing now merely the teachings of my youth. Such vital questions one must settle for himself, and had my twenty-five years brought me nothing but the conviction that the unseen and spiritual is the real and everlasting world, they would be well-spent years. The knowledge of the reality of goodness and truth and justice, and of their eternal and omnipotent quality, makes the difficulties of life easier to surmount, gives hope for de- spair, supplants grief with joy, death with life, and bathes the heart and thought in the true fountain of perpetual youth. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY And so, as I look into your faces to-night, I think I read there the message that to one and another has come the answer somewhat as it has come to me. With you I rejoice that you have found the inspiration to hopeful effort. What wonder that over you, who, consciously or unconsciously, cherish such convictions, the years pass lightly, and that upon you time fails to set his seal? [Prolonged applause.] Foster: Mr. Toast-master, may I say one word? Pratt has called a name to-night which has not been spoken before at this meeting. I think we all remember old Jim Camp- bell, one of the most lovable, noble, generous men that the class of '82 ever knew. I don't see very much to drink around here, but I should like to propose that we all rise, and those of us who can find anything to drink, drink a silent toast to dear old Jim Campbell. Toast-master: Now, boys, the next toast, if you have examined the list, being "Examinations," although you must regret the absence of Asa French, you may not be averse to having this dispensed with. I am conscious of the fact that I have occupied the lime-light for an undue portion of the evening. [Cries of "No!"] That was inevitable from the character of the entertainment. I am reminded of the man who said to the little boy: "Willie, I hear your father is dead; what were his last words?" "He did n't have no last words; mother was with him to the last." [Laugh- ter.] I am afraid I have placed myself in the position of mother. Now, boys, I want to say to you that this has been the most pleasant thing that I ever had to do in connection with '82, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the attention that you have given, and your appreciation of the entertainment which has been prepared by the committee, of which I am only one. I hope that this occasion will be an inspiration to you to come back to our next anniversary in even larger numbers. C 145;] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 The program is now ended. I think there is nothing further for us to do. The vice-president has appointed some committees, and I believe he has decided to announce those at the dinner to-morrow night. I thank you very much. John Kellogg then made the following announcement : In regard to the boat race and the tickets, those of you who have n't your tickets can get them from me to-morrow morning. Those who have their tickets will know that the train leaves Union Station at n :io on Thursday morning, I presume in front. The train is made up of parlor-cars and day-coaches. Our parlor-car will be the last parlor-car of the parlor-cars on the train, and the day-coach will be immediately next to it. The coach is the first of the day-coaches, and the parlor-car the last of the parlor-cars. They will also have big labels on each for those of you who can read: "Class of '82." Those who cannot read will know that it is the last parlor-car. The parlor-car will be a buffet-car and will carry her coterie of servants with it, and also a hired man, and also a porter furnished by the company, together with a guard selected to look after Harry Piatt and those fellows who need free Scotches and beer all the time. That car will hold thirty-six, and we will put in a number of camp-chairs to make it hold as many as can get into it. I presume the thing we ought to do will be to have the ladies take that car, so far as it will accommodate them, and the rest of us will take the day-coach. [Applause.] Badger: Mr. Toast-master, may I say one word only? You showed a picture of the ball nine of '82 to-night. The man who was the life of that nine did not show in the photo- graph, the man who played in every game but one did not show; and in every game we played, the luck of that man, our classmate, was proverbial, and when he tossed the coin, he won, and we took our choice, except when we went to Brown and played there, the captain of the nine said: "No. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY Richardson can't toss the coin." At every meeting of '82 which we have had George Richardson has been the life of the class. He comes from my end of the line. One of the best men that ever lived was George Richardson, and I don't want this meeting to adjourn to-night without drinking a silent toast to that prince of good fellows, one of the best men, one of the smartest, one of the noblest men that ever lived, and really and truly, and not to the detriment of any- body else, the life of '82. May I ask you all to drink a silent toast to George Richardson? The crowd dispersed, singing "Auld Tang Svne. ,, Wednesday morning was a period devoted to rest and recuperation by such as were wearied by the festivities of the previous day, and many of the men attended the com- mencement exercises and the alumni dinner in University Hall. In the afternoon a heavy rainfall cooled the atmo- sphere, but did not dampen the ardor of the ladies of the class, who in full numbers attended the reception given in their honor at the club-house. The members of the class were present in force, and the gathering was most enjoy- able, the guests of the occasion especially appearing to ap- preciate their novel surroundings. The benign influence of the ladies abashed and hushed the demon chorus, and the angel choir, now in the ascendant, tunefully rendered the beautiful verses composed by Tyman and Welch. In the evening the entire delegation of the class whiled away the hours until early morning with song and story in the tent. Thursday was given over to the university race. Through the foresight of Kellogg a buffet-car with a coach as trailer had been chartered for the class, luncheon was provided, and an otherwise tiresome trip thus made the occasion of another social gathering. Owing to adverse winds, the race was postponed until evening, but compensation for the delay HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 was found in the magnificent contest of the rival crews. It is stated by old habitues that no race has ever equaled in breathless excitement that of the current year, and to the members of '82 a greatly increased and personal interest was lent to the occasion by reason of the fact that the son of Jim Rice pulled number three in the Yale boat, wearing the '82 pin presented to him by his father's class. Victory un- der such circumstances had a double zest. At the Race While many of the class left for home immediately after the race, enough remained to make good company back to New Haven. To fill, not unacceptably, the vacancies caused by the deserters, the ladies present were invited to the table d'hote dinner in the club-house, at which thirty-five were present. Though tinged with the sadness of approaching separation, the evening passed agreeably, and so, gently and pleasantly, the present blended with the past, and the re- union was but a memory. At the annual New York dinner at the Yale Club on March 6, 1908, Welch, chairman of the finance committee, read the following letter and financial report of the twenty-fifth reunion: THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY YALE UNIVERSITY New Haven, Conn., July 20, 1907. My dear Mr. Welch : I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letters of July 17 and 18. The check for $18,000, representing the twenty- fifth anniversary subscription of the class of 1882, has been duly received and handed over to the Treasurer's office. The principal will be preserved intact in accordance with your request, the income alone being used, at the discretion of the Corporation. I assure you that the authorities of the University will feel that your class has made a very handsome contribution, especially in view of the financial situation in the country in the last few months. I am glad to take this opportunity to express to you my appreciation of the exceedingly high character of your anni- versary exercises. Your class has set an example which will have a marked effect in acting as a helpful tonic to the qual- ity of commencement reunions in New Haven.

He was a member of the standing committee of the diocese of Colorado from 1897 to 1906, and president of the Council of Advice in the district of Salt Lake from 1906 to 1909. From 1899 to 1906 he was chaplain of the Colorado Springs lodge of Elks, and from 1895 to 1906 he was chaplain of the Colorado Springs council of the Royal Arcanum. In 1897 and 1898 he was a director of the Colorado Springs Young Men's Christian Association. His wife, Stella Yates, born on November 23, 1866, is the daughter of Charles Yates (brigadier-general in the Civil War) and Josephine Bosworth. She had the follow- ing kinsfolk who were college graduates: father, Charles Yates, Union; grandfather, Judge Joseph Sollace Bosworth of the New York Supreme Court, Hamilton; uncle, Joseph Bosworth, College of the City of New York; cousin, Bishop H. Y. Satterlee, Columbia. Brewster has had the following children: Katrina Myn- derse, born on May 16, 1894, in South Orange, New Jer- sey; Benjamin Yates, born on December 28, 1896, in Colorado Springs; Josephine Stella, born on June 8, 1900, in Colorado Springs (died on December 18, 1900) ; Wil- liam, born on June 24, 1907, in Salt Lake City; and Stella Frances, born on November 5, 1908, in Salt Lake City. His address is Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Ferree Brinton is the son of John Ferree Brinton and Anna (Binney) Brinton. His parents both came of English stock. Our classmate's father was born on July 29, 1827, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a graduate of Yale in 1848, and an attorney-at-law in Philadelphia and in Lan- caster County. He died in Philadelphia on November 20, [201] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 1878. His parents were Ferree Brinton and Elizabeth Sharpless of Lancaster County. The Ferree ancestors were French Huguenots, and came to this country in 1708 from Ferree Brinton France via Bavaria, the Black Forest, and England, to settle in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after a short so- journ at Esopus, New York. The Brinton ancestors came from Staffordshire, England, in 1624, and settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Our classmate's mother was born on December 24, 1834, in Boston, where she lived until her marriage. She died on July 17, 1870, at Newport, Rhode Island. Her parents were Amos Binney and Mary Anna Binney, first cousins, both of Boston. The Binney ancestors came from Nottinghamshire, England, in 1678, and settled at Hull, Massachusetts. Other ancestors include the Raines, the Shaws, the Lorings, and Stephen Hopkins, [ 202 ] BIOGRAPHIES who came over in the Mayflower in 1620. The Binney men of his mother's generation were all Harvard graduates. Brinton's brother Sharswood was in the Yale class of 1886. Brinton was born on July 8, 1861, in Philadelphia, lived in that city for about two years, then in Lancaster County till 1866, then in France till 1870, and then principally in Philadelphia until he entered college in 1878. For several years he was at Rugby Academy in Philadelphia, and for the last year before college had a private tutor. In freshman year he roomed alone at Mrs. Hotchkiss', on York Street, in sophomore year with Beach in 49 South Middle, in junior and senior years with Beach in Durfee. He was the chair- man of the senior supper committee and received an oration appointment. He was a member of Delta Kappa, of Psi Upsilon, and is a graduate member of Wolf's Head. He spent six months in Europe after graduation, visiting Ireland, England, Scotland, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, and Hungary. On his return he entered the law school of the University of Penn- sylvania, and received the LL.B. degree, with the prize for the best final examination, in June, 1885. Thereupon he was admitted to practice in Philadelphia, and has been an attorney-at-law there since. He writes : "About nine years ago I bought two acres of land in Radnor Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania, about eight minutes' w r alk from St. David's station, and built thereon a comfortable two-story house, with large rooms and wide porches. Since that time I have added, from time to time, three acres more of ground, and have improved the land, which was originally a corn-field, and also the house, so that I now have a very comfortable place of five acres, upon which, in addition to a rather large and attractive house, I have a chicken-house, an automobile-house, a small summer cabin, a vegetable-garden, tennis court, and plenty of lawn, with slowly growing trees and shrubbery. Here I [>3:i HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 have been living all the year around for the past eight years, coming in to my law office in Philadelphia every day, either by train or by automobile. "I am sorry that I have nothing more entertaining to relate. I am, however, reasonably well, surrounded by a loving and attractive family, living in a comfortable home, having plenty of good friends, and provided with sufficient worldly wealth, including the products of my own labor, to make life for myself and family pleasant and happy. "I have had, by reason of my hardness of hearing, to restrict my own legal business to office work, and to assist other lawyers engaged in court work in the really legal end of their business. From a financial standpoint the arrange- ment is fairly good." In the course of his work he has found time to visit Eu- rope six times in addition to his 1882 trip. In 1889 he trav- eled in England and France. In 1890 it was Germany, Switzerland, and France. The following year he visited England and Wales. In 1906 the trip included Germany, France, and England. In 1907 it was restricted to Holland, while in 1908 it was an automobile trip in France. He is a member of the Graduates' Club of New Haven, the Uni- versity Club of New York, and the Rittenhouse Club of Philadelphia. At various times in the past he has belonged to the Racquet Club, the Country Club, the University Club, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the Merton Cricket Club, and the Germantown Cricket Club, all of or near Phila- delphia. On April 25, 1893, in New Haven, Connecticut, he mar- ried Lina Ives, daughter of Dr. Robert S. Ives (Yale '64) and Maria Stille. They have three children: Caroline Ives, born on March 25, 1894; Anna Binney, born on January 22, 1896; and Ferree Brinton, born on August 9, 1900, all in Philadelphia. Mrs. Brinton comes of a Yale family. In addition to her father, her grandfather, Levi Ives, was C 2 °4 3 BIOGRAPHIES Yale Medical 1838, her great-grandfather, Eli Ives, was Yale 1799, and various brothers and uncles were likewise Yale men. The Ives family settled in Connecticut about 1630. Mrs. Brinton's maternal grandfather, Alfred Stille, whose family came from Sweden and settled near Philadel- phia in 1642, was graduated from Yale in the class of 1832. His business address is 804 Land Title Building, Broad and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, and his residence is St. David's, Pennsylvania. * Fred John BROCKWAY was the son of John G. Brockway and Amanda (Carroll) Brockway. He was born in South Fred John Brockway Sutton, New Hampshire, on February 24, i860, and pre- pared for college at the Tilton (New Hampshire) Semi- C 2 °5] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 nary. He entered '82 at the beginning of sophomore year and roomed with Beede on York Street in sophomore and in North during junior year. In senior year he roomed with Rolfe in North. After graduation he taught two years in Stamford, Con- necticut, and then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, from which he received the de- gree of M.D. in 1887. For the two years following he was in the surgical department of Roosevelt Hospital, and then became first resident surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hos- pital in Baltimore, Maryland. In the fall of 1890 he re- turned to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York as lecturer and demonstrator of anatomy, and was later secretary of the faculty. He was a member of the American Museum of Natural History, the American Asso- ciation of Anatomists, the New York Academy of Sciences, the New York Academy of Medicine, the Alumni Associa- tion of Roosevelt Hospital, the Johns Hopkins Residents' Association, the Omega Society of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the New England Society, and the New York Athletic Club. He was the author of "Chemistry and Phy- sics" and a "Compendium of Anatomy," and of several valuable monographs on anatomical subjects. His death occurred at Brattleboro, Vermont, on April 21, 1901, after an illness of several months which was largely the result of ceaseless devotion to his profession. He was a member of the Methodist Church. On November 25, 1891, he married Marian L. Turner, daughter of A. M. Turner, cashier of the Union Mining Company of Mount Savage, Maryland. Two daughters were born to him: Marian, on May 13, 1896, and Dorothy, on February 27, 1898. He was quiet in manner, thoughtful and conscientious in all his conduct. Enthusiastically devoted to his professional work, he found little time for recreation, yet his sense of O63 BIOGRAPHIES humor was such that he made a most congenial companion and was greatly beloved and respected by all who knew him. Nathaniel Richardson Bronson is the son of Lu Stone Bronson and Elizabeth Xancv (Baldwin) Bronson. Nathaniel Richardson Bronson Bronson the elder was a Connecticut merchant. He born on April 20. 1S21, at Middlebury, and lived sac sively at Watertown ( 1S40) and Waterbury : ' in the latter town on October 30. 1892. His father Garry Bronson, and his mother Comfort Richardson, both of Middlebury. The Bronsons can be gen- erations in New England and the Richardsons eight, "pure- blooded New England Yankee- :es our classmate [2073 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 whence — it is doubtful. I am of the belief that both can be traced to England, but I cannot prove it. My ancestor John Bronson was one of the original eight settlers of Waterbury, coming from Farmington." Bronson's mother was born on September 27, 1823, in Norfolk, Connecticut. She lived in Norfolk until her marriage, and died in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, on December 28, 1906. Her father was Amos Baldwin of Watertown and Norfolk, Connecti- cut, and her mother was Elizabeth Bryan of Prospect and Waterbury. Bronson was born on July 3, i860, in Waterbury, Con- necticut, and spent his early days there, attending the public grade and high schools till 1875, and then the English and Classical for three more years. He entered our class at the beginning of freshman year, and for the first year roomed alone on Chapel Street. In sophomore year he had a room in Farnam with Lowe, in junior year in North College with W. Anderson, '84, now dead, and in senior year in Farnam with Anderson again. He indulged in athletic sports, such as walking, running, baseball, and football. Bronson received an LL.B. from the Yale Law School in 1884, and he has confined himself closely to the practice of law in his native city of Waterbury. He writes : "In January, 1885, Mr. George E. Terry, one of the old lawyers, a man of high standing, who had been for years associated with Kellogg's father, as Kellogg & Terry, but who had been alone then for four years, asked me to come with him, which I did with great suddenness and despatch. Mr. Terry behaved himself very well, and I took him into partnership on the 1st of July, 1888, under the firm name of Terry & Bronson. That partnership continued until the middle of January, 1901. Mr. Terry meantime, with in- creasing age, had become subject to certain physical infirmi- ties, and under his doctor's orders he stopped short. "I carried on the business, and in 1906, July 1, took into BIOGRAPHIES partnership with myself Mr. Lawrence L. Lewis, who had been in my office for several years practising law. The rela- tion then assumed still continues, and I hope will. "My practice has been of a corporation and commercial nature, and I have been also largely interested in real estate practice. Perhaps I do more corporation work than any- thing else. "I have been moderately successful, with no serious set- backs. The office has all the practice that it can well attend to, but beyond that I don't know that it is necessary or worth while to say further. My health has been fairly good, by virtue of the fact that I have taken pretty good care of it, notwithstanding the fact that I am worked about to the limit, and have been for many years. "Beyond golf, of recent years I have had no regular exer- cise except in the saddle. "I have been interested for two years back in the promo- tion and construction of a street railway, fifteen miles across country. It will be finished in the course of the next year, but from that I have resigned all connection. "I have two boys. They both say they are going to Yale, of course. The younger one, aged ten, can with difficulty abide the sight of a red scarf." Bronson belongs to the Waterbury Club, the Waterbury Golf Club (of which he has been president), the Yale Club of New York, the Waterbury Republican Club (he is a Re- publican), and the Waterbury Bar Association (of which he is treasurer) . Helen Adams Norton became Mrs. Nathaniel Richard- son Bronson in Brooklyn on March 26, 1889. She is a daughter of Henry Lott Norton and Julia Adams. On the father's side her ancestors were New Englanders, on the mother's side New York Dutch, living on the Hudson River. She had one uncle who was graduated at Yale, Wilfred Ernest Norton. The two boys who have been mentioned [>9] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 above are Norton Bronson, born on February 28, 1894, and Richardson Bronson, born on October 12, 1896, both in YYaterbury. His business address is 136 Grand Street, and his resi- dence is 59 Pine Street, Waterbury, Connecticut. * Wayland Irving Bruce was the son of Alfred Bruce and Mary Emily (McAlpine) Bruce. He was born at Hillside, Columbia County, New York, on May 12, 1858. His Wayland Irving Bruce father died in 1876, and the same year he entered Williston Seminary at Easthampton, Massachusetts, where he studied for two years, and was graduated with the class of 1 878. He entered college while under the guardianship of his elder C 2I °3 BIOGRAPHIES brother, the Hon. Wallace Bruce, Yale 1867, and roomed throughout the course with Lewis in North Middle and Durfee. He won a freshman mathematical prize, composi- tion prizes in both terms of sophomore year, and at the Junior Exhibition he divided the first prize with Storrs. He was an editor of the Lit and one of the Townsend speakers. His societies were Gamma Xu, Eta Phi, Delta Kappa Epsi- lon, Scroll and Key, and Phi Beta Kappa. The year after graduation he was connected with the Bryant Literary Union of New York City, and then spent a year in study in Germany and in European travel. On his return from abroad he taught in the Albany Academy at Albany, New York, and thereafter was for twenty-one years instructor in modern languages in Williston Seminary. He visited Europe repeatedly during that time, spending sum- mers in France, Holland, England, Germany, Switzerland, and the Austrian Tyrol. He was beloved by a great number who were students in his classes in successive years, and was much esteemed by the townspeople. He was for a number of years warden of St. Philip's Protestant Episcopal Church. He received the degree of M.A. from Yale in 1888. Bruce had not been in good health for several years, and died of appendicitis at his home in Easthampton on June 2, 1906, at the age of forty-eight. On April 3, 1883, at New Haven, Connecticut, he mar- ried Mary Emily Skinner, daughter of Franklin Skinner and Eliza Perry. He had one son, Donald, born on July 23, 1884, at Newtonville, Massachusetts, who was graduated from Yale in the class of 1906. * James Alexander Campbell was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 16, i860. He was named after a [2.1.1 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 favorite brother of his father, a young man of very bright intellectual powers, who died in early manhood at the family home, Aughalane House in the county of Tyrone, James Alexander Campbel Ireland, to which place the family had removed from Scot- land. Campbell's early education was at Washington Uni- versity, St. Louis, where he held a high place in his class and was very highly regarded by his instructors; but most of his education was under the personal attention of his mother, who took a very great pride in all his work, and with whom he was on the closest terms of intimacy. He roomed with French; during sophomore year in South Middle and during junior and senior years in Durfee. As an undergraduate he was a member of Delta Kappa, Eta Phi, Psi Upsilon, and Skull and Bones. He remained at Yale for a year after graduation, study- BIOGRAPHIES ing in the Graduate Department; and in July, 1883, he went abroad on an extended tour, from which he returned in the spring of 1885. In the succeeding autumn he entered the Law School of Harvard University, from which he was grad- uated in 1888. After this he went abroad again, and while living in Paris with his brothers had a very severe attack of the grippe in January, 1890. This was followed by conges- tion of the lungs and pneumonia, and he lingered on the verge of death for several months. He then rallied a little from the extreme prostration, but only to experience a fatal relapse, attended with great suffering. He died in Paris on July I3> 189°- His life was remarkable for its modesty, its tenderness and gentleness, for its chivalry and integrity; indeed, for all that makes the true gentleman. Princely generosity, a sym- pathetic heart, painstaking consideration for the feelings of others, loyalty to truth, and self-sacrificing fidelity to hard duties — these were some of his characteristics that won for him our love and respect. * David Anderson Chenault entered '82 at the begin- ning of sophomore year and roomed with Bennett, the first year on George Street, junior year in Farnam, and senior year in Durfee. He was a member of Psi Upsilon. After graduation he was for two years a member of the firm of Isaac Brinker & Company, commission merchants and wholesale fruit and produce dealers, at Denver, Colorado. He w r as afterward at his home at White Hall, Kentucky, for a year, engaged in farming, and for three years was in the live-stock business, together with farming, at De Graff, Kansas. He returned to Kentucky in 1891 and established the University School of Kentucky at Louisville, of which institution he was president. He died January 21, 1903. C 2I 3] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 On July 17, 1883, at Richmond, Kentucky, he married Bettie Baker Bronston. Thev had two children: Nettie **fc ^ David Anderson Chenault Bronston, born December 12, 1884, and Walter Scott, born July 22, 1888. William Churchill is the son of William Churchill and Sarah Jane (Starkweather) Churchill. He is of English descent on both sides. The paternal ancestors came from Devonshire, England, in 1632, and settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts. Those on his mother's side were a part of the New Haven Colony. William Churchill of Boston and Mary Myrick Hayden of Nantucket were his grandparents, and his father w r as a merchant importer of porcelains. The father was born on February 4, 1825, in Boston, was edu- C214] BIOGRAPHIES cated in English public schools, spent most of his life in New York City and abroad, and died In Montclair, New Jersey, on June 7, 1873. His wife was the daughter of the Rev. William Churchill John Starkweather and Mercy Hubbard of Middletown, Connecticut, born on January 1, 1835, in Bristol, Rhode Island. Churchill was born on October 5, 1859, in Brooklyn, and divided his youthful days between that city and Montclair, New Jersey. He was graduated from the Montclair High School in 1877. He entered Yale with the class of '8i and went as far as Christmas of sophomore year, but had to leave college on account of grave illness. After a long sea voyage he resumed work with our class at the beginning of sophomore year. Guernsey was his roommate while he was with '81, but for the rest of his course he roomed by HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 himself in North Middle. He contributed to the Lit, the Record, and the Courant, was a member of the ivy com- mittee at graduation, and belonged to the Yale Society of Natural History. Churchill has made a reputation for himself as a news- paper writer, an explorer, and a linguist. For a year after graduation he taught school in Indianapolis. Then he went to Australia and the South Sea Islands. Upon his return to America he entered journalism in San Francisco. For two years he was librarian in the Academy of Sciences in that city, and while holding that position he delivered a course of lectures on the people of the South Pacific, their languages, customs, etc. He then came East and contrib- uted to various magazines. For a time he was in the Signal Service Bureau in Washington. In 1891 he became an edi- tor of the Brooklyn Times, occupying that position until June, 1896, when President Cleveland appointed him con- sul-general to Samoa. When President McKinley appointed his successor in 1898, he returned to this country. He is the author of "A Princess of Fiji" (Dodd, Mead & Co., 1892), many scientific documents for the government, magazine articles and reviews, as well as a great quantity of edi- torials. At present he is engaged on the New York Sun. Philology had always attracted Churchill. His pursuit of it led to a wild life among wild men in remote savagery, but in the end he worked out a comprehension of the method of isolating speech that is being received with interest. Without going into the intimate details, his discovery amounts to "the dissection of the hitherto irreducible root, the segregation of the elemental sense of the few simple vowel sounds which have come to us from the animal cry, and the analysis of the discriminative selection of the co- efficient value of the consonantal modulants whereby the earliest type of man acquired a language." In prosecuting this research Churchill mastered about a hundred languages BIOGRAPHIES of the Pacific Ocean and Malay seas, collected a large mass of cosmopoietic myth from old savages, and prepared on the lines of comparative philology a dictionary of the Samoan language. His results are appearing at short in- tervals in philological journals and transactions of learned societies. The grammar of the Samoan language on which he is now engaged is to present proofs as to the beginning of human speech, and competent authorities here and abroad have said that he is about to contribute to philology a dis- covery as epochal as was the discovery of Sanskrit and the work of Whitney and Max Miiller. He is active in the Polynesian Society of New Zealand. His travels extended to every continent, but in the South Seas and Malaysia he has been an explorer and has been able to add to the maps. On August 14, 1899, m New York City, he married Llew- ella Pierce, daughter of Llewellyn Pierce and Catherine Spillane, and a relative of Franklin Pierce, a graduate of Bowdoin. His business address is the Sioi, 170 Nassau Street, New York City, and his residence is Fale'ula, 1874 East Twelfth Street, Brooklyn, New York. Stephen Merrell Clement is the son of Stephen Mal- lory Clement and Sarah Elizabeth (Leonard) Clement. Stephen Mallory Clement was born on February 26, 1825, in Manlius, Onondaga County, New York. He was the son of Frederick Clement and Olive Mallory. The Clement family is of English origin, coming from Coventry in the early days and settling in New England. On the maternal side Clement's ancestors w T ere also English, settling in Massachusetts. Two of the descendants, David H. Leonard and Anna Merrell, lived in Dewitt, New York, in the early part of the last century, and on September 12, 1824, had a C 2I 7] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 daughter whom they named Sarah Elizabeth, who was the mother of our classmate. She died on August 10, 1891, in Buffalo, and her husband followed her in the next year, Sep- Stephen Merrell Clement tember 29, 1892. During most of his life the latter was a banker. Clement's great-grandfather, Captain Caleb Mer- rell of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, took part in the battles of Bennington, Saratoga, and Stillwater. His great- great-grandfather, Colonel Giles Jackson of Tyringham, Massachusetts, was the chief of General Gates' staff, and drew up the so-called "Convention of Saratoga," under which Burgoyne surrendered. Born on November 4, 1859, at Fredonia, Chautauqua County, New York, Clement moved with his parents to Buffalo in 1870, and entered the Buffalo public schools. Seven years in the State Normal School there fitted him for [>i8] BIOGRAPHIES Yale, and he entered with the class. In freshman year he roomed with Albert W. Shaw, '79, in 101 North, in sopho- more year with Colgate, and in the last two years with Ly- man in Farnam.

He was superintendent of Bethany Sunday School, and, since gradu- ation, has been a member of the Bicentennial committee on funds, of the committee on restoration of South Middle, and of the Yale Alumni Advisory Board. The son of a banker and himself one of the most promi- nent financiers in Buffalo, Clement has made a shining mark for himself and '82 in the business world. The first thing he did after commencement was to go abroad with several other members of our class, and travel for nine months through Europe and the Orient. On his return, in April, 1883, he entered the Marine Bank of Buffalo, was appointed assistant cashier in December, 1883, was elected cashier in December, 1884, and held that position until March, 1895, when he was elected president of the bank, which position he now holds. Since his election as president the institution has been reorganized as a national bank and has grown to be the largest bank of discount in the State outside of New York City. He was a member of the committee of three that organized the Buffalo clearing-house in 1889, and has been chairman of the clearing-house committee since 1892. He was one of the organizers of the Power City Bank at Niagara Falls, and has been a director since its incorpora- tion in 1893. He was president of the Merchants' Na- tional Bank of Dunkirk, New York, from 1892 to 1893, is a director in the Ontario Power Company, the Niagara, Lockport & Ontario Transmission Company, the Interna- tional Railway Company, and the Buffalo Abstract Title C 2I 9] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Company; is president of the Buffalo & Susquehanna Steam- ship Company, and first vice-president of the Rogers-Brown Iron Company.

Stephen Steele, was graduated at Yale in the class of 171 8. Clem- ent has had six children, five of whom are living. As four of them are boys, they are proving fine material for Yale. The oldest, Norman P., was graduated in the academic class of 1907, and married on June 1, 1908, Margaret Hale of Keene, New Hampshire. The second son, Stephen M., Jr., was graduated in 19 10. Both these boys prepared at the Thacher School in southern California and at the Hill School at Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The next son, Harold T., was graduated from the Hill School in 1908, and is a member of the Yale class of 191 2. The fourth son, Stuart H., will come along in time for Yale 191 7.

He is a de- scendant of Governor William Bradford, one of the leaders Edwin Bradford Cragin of the band of Puritans who came in the Mayflower to Plymouth Rock and laid the foundations of an empire. Cragin was born at Colchester, Connecticut, October 23, [ 221 ] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 1859, where his parents were then residing, having removed from New York City. His early education was received at Bacon Academy in Colchester, where he prepared for col- lege. He entered Yale in 1878, taking his degree in 1882. Deciding to study the profession in which he has since gained fame, he entered the College of Physicians and Sur- geons in the city of New York in 1883, and was graduated in 1886, taking at graduation the first Harsen prize for proficiency in examination. He served on the house staff of the Roosevelt Hospital from June 1, 1886, till December 1, 1887. He has filled various important professional posi- tions in New York City, among them that of assistant gyne- cologist to the out-patient department of the Roosevelt Hos- pital, to which he was appointed in July, 1888, attending gynecologist to the out-patient department of the hospital, November 27, 1888, and assistant gynecologist to the hos- pital proper, June 25, 1889. On June 27, 1889, he was appointed assistant surgeon to the New York Cancer Hos- pital. He held this position until November 21, 1893, when pressure of work forced him to resign it. On the 14th of November, 1895, he was appointed consulting gynecologist to the New York Infirmary for Women and Children, and on January 22, 1896, consulting obstetric surgeon to the City Maternity Hospital on Blackwell's Island.

He became secretary July 1, 1895. In April, 1898, he was elected to the chair of obstetrics in the college, with the title of lecturer in obstetrics, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. McLane. At about the same time he was appointed attending physician to the Sloane Maternity Hospital.

He writes : "I have to plead guilty to what you have found out con- cerning my actions, viz., giving a library to Colchester, Con- necticut; being a Presbyterian elder; being a supporter of foreign missions; and being chairman of the advisory board of the Students' Club (College of Physicians and Surgeons) . It seems to me immodest to speak of it, however, and I guess the least said the better." He married Mary R. Willard of Colchester, Connecticut, HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 on May 23, 1889. They have three children: Miriam W., Alice G., and Edwin B. Cragin, Jr. His address is 10 West Fiftieth Street, New York City. Bryan Cumming is the son of Joseph Bryan Cumming and Katharine J. (Hubbell) Cumming. Joseph Bryan Cum- ming was born on February 2, 1836, at Augusta, Georgia, Bryan Cumming where he has spent most of his life, and is still living as a practising lawyer. He was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1854 and from the Harvard Law School in 1859. His family was of Scotch origin, his ancestors com- ing to this country in 1747 and settling in Maryland. Cum- ming's mother was born on July 19, 1838, at Bridgeport, C 22 4] BIOGRAPHIES Connecticut, and spent her early life in New York City. Her family was of English origin, her ancestors coming to this country in 1645 an< ^ settling at Fairfield, Connecticut. Many of Cumming's ancestors and near kinsmen have held important public positions as city mayors, territorial gov- ernors, etc. One of his ancestors was graduated from Yale, another from the University ol Georgia, and a third from West Point. Cumming was born on January 4, 1862, at Summerville, Richmond County, Georgia, and resided there before enter- ing college. He was prepared at private schools, and en- tered '82 at the beginning of freshman year. He roomed at first alone, but afterward with Cragin, during sophomore year in Old Chapel, and thereafter in Farnam. While an undergraduate he took a prize in French. After graduation he spent the summer holidays at Xarra- gansett Pier, and then returned to Augusta and entered upon the study of law in his father's office. He was admitted to practice in January, 1884, and since that time he has been actively engaged in professional work. He writes: "I took a small excursion into politics during a period covering five or six years, serving respectively as one of the governing body of the suburban village in which I reside, known as Summerville, and for a while as its executive officer. For two years I was a member of the lower house of the Georgia Assembly, and for two years was a member of the Georgia Senate. While this political experience was most interesting and useful, it had no great allurements for me, and I have made no further effort to fill any public offices. There have been no special incidents connected with my life. There has been simply the usual routine of an active practising attorney, interspersed with a fair amount of quiet pleasure-taking." From other sources it is learned that Cumming's profes- sional standing is very high, both from the standpoint of C 22 5] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 character and ability. He has been in partnership with his father for a long time, and has represented the Georgia Railroad for years. In politics Cumming is a Democrat, and is a member of the Richmond Hussars. He is one of the governing board of the Country Club of Augusta, and a member of the Commercial Club of Augusta and of vari- ous social organizations. He married on November 27, 1889, at Summerville, Georgia, Mary G. Smith, the daughter of Charles Shaler Smith and Mary G. Gardner. Mrs. Cumming's family is of English origin. They have two children, one boy and one girl. His address is 204 Montgomery Building, Augusta, Georgia. * George Edward Curtis was the son of George S. Curtis and Catherine Lewis (Curtis) Curtis. His father was born on August 26, 1833, at Nichols, Connecticut, and spent most of his life at Derby, Connecticut, in the hardware business. He died on September 27, 1862, at Derby. He was the son of Alvin Curtis of Nichols, Connecticut, and Dolly Blake- man of Orinoque, Stratford, Connecticut. His ancestors were of English origin, and came to this country from Eng- land in 1637 and settled at Stratford. Curtis' mother was born on July 27, 1834, at Stratford, and spent her early life there. She was the daughter of Cornelius Agur Curtis and Phoebe Lewis, both of that city. Her family, too, was of English origin and came from England to settle in Stratford. Curtis was born on July 8, 1861, at Derby, Connecticut, and spent his life there until he entered college. He at- tended the Birmingham Public School and High School, and was graduated in 1877. He spent one year as a clerk before entering college. Curtis was an only child. His father died when he was but fifteen months old, but his mother sympa- C"6] BIOGRAPHIES thized with his ambitions and encouraged him In their at- tainment. Early in life he cherished the desire and hope of a career at Yale, and from his twelfth year steadily bent his George Edward Curtis energies to accomplish that ambition. His own efforts and his mother's self-denial enabled him to enter our class in 1878 well prepared. He roomed the first year on Howe Street, the second in South Middle, and the last two with Titche in Farnam. At college he was a faithful student, and ranked well in all his work, but especially excelled in mathe- matics, in which he took a prize in senior year. He was a member of Gamma Nu. For a few months after receiving his degree he remained at his home in Birmingham, Connecticut, prosecuting his studies in his chosen work of mathematics. In 1883 he re- ceived an appointment under the chief signal officer in the C 22 73 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Weather Bureau at Washington. He continued his work in meteorology and atmospheric physics until 1887, when he accepted the professorship of mathematics in Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas. Subsequently he was connected with the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. His health forced him to move to Arizona, which he had already visited in the employ of the government, preparing a geological survey, and again as meteorologist of the Dyrenforth rain- making expedition. His health continued to fail, and in 1895 he returned to Washington, where he died in January of that year. He received the degree of M.A. from Yale in June, 1887. He was an active member of the Philosophical Society of Washington, District of Columbia, and wrote a number of articles on scientific subjects. Numerous articles by him re- lating to meteorology have been published by the Signal Office, the American Journal of Science, the American Meteorological Journal, and other scientific periodicals. In 1893 he edited a book entitled "Smithsonian Meteorological Tables," and the Century Company paid a high tribute to his attainments by engaging him to write the definitions of the meteorological terms in all but the first volume of the Century Dictionary. Short as was his career (he was but thirty-three years of age when he died), his achievements were considerable and gave great promise of distinction. * Theodore De Witt Cuyler was the son of Theodore Cuyler and Mary (DeWitt) Cuyler. He was born at Philadelphia on the 18th of May, 1862, and was the young- est man in the class. He was prepared for college at a pri- vate school in Philadelphia and at St. Paul's, Concord, New Hampshire. He rowed on his class crew and was a member of the freshman class supper committee. At the intercol- [228] BIOGRAPHIES legiate games at Mott Haven in sophomore year he won the mile run in 4 minutes 37^ seconds, which was 7 Is seconds better than the best college record and within ^ of a second Theodore De Witt Cuvler of the best amateur record. In junior year he again won the mile run at Mott Haven, and in senior year he was presi- dent of the University Athletic Association. He roomed in freshman year on York Street and during the last three years with Farwell in Durfee. He was a member of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, He Boule, Psi Upsilon, and Scroll and Key. After graduation he traveled abroad for six months, and returned late in the fall of 1882. He began the study of law under his brother (Yale 1874), and was earnestly pur- suing his studies at the time of his death, which occurred at his residence in Philadelphia on January 1, 1883, from an attack of scarlet fever, after an illness of three days. C 22 9] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Stricken down so suddenly while in the enjoyment of perfect health and strength, his death came as a great shock to all his friends. He was one of the most conspicuous figures in our class both in athletics and socially, and he was the first, after graduation, to be taken from us. A tablet in his memory has been placed by some of his classmates in the vestibule of Battell Chapel, and bears the inscription, "Brave and Beloved." Frederick Orren Darling is the son of Charles Wesley Darling and Emily Frances (Squire) Darling. His father Frederick Orren Darling was born on October 20, 1832, at Rowe, Franklin County, Massachusetts. He was educated at the district school in Leyden, Massachusetts, and at Power's Institute in Ber- BIOGRAPHIES nardston, Massachusetts. He was actively engaged in busi- ness in the city of New York, and died on April 23, 1904, at Center Moriches, Long Island. His parents were Uriah Thayer Darling and Caroline Williams of Rowe.

She was the daughter of Samuel Weld Squire of Bristol, Connecticut, and Caroline Coe of Wolcott, Connecticut. On July 24, 1881, she died at Leyden, Massachusetts. Darling is English on both the paternal and maternal sides. His father's ancestors came from England in 1640-50 and settled in the Plymouth Col- ony, and his mother's forebears came from England and settled at New Haven. Darling was born on September 25, 1856, at Bethlehem, New York, and scattered his boyhood days in twenty-one different towns and six different States. He attended the grammar school at Hudson, Michigan, the high school at Westfield, Massachusetts, the Columbia Grammar School in New York City, and was graduated from the Williston Seminary at Easthampton, Massachusetts, in 1877. He en- tered Yale with '81, but joined our class in the spring of 1879. As a freshman with '8 1 he roomed with R. W. Hine, in sophomore year he roomed with Gallaher, and in junior and senior years with Bentley. He was a member of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, He Boule, Psi Upsilon, and is a graduate member of Wolf's Head. After graduation he established the "T D" cattle ranch on O'Fallon Creek— now the town of Teedee, Custer County, Montana— where he remained till July, 1884. He then became a commission agent for hydraulic elevators and brick at Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. For several years he lived in New York, being connected with the firm of Belding Brothers, and in 1889 he moved to Center Moriches, Long Island, where he became a member of the HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Moriches Fuel Company. Ten years later he moved to the Hilthorpe Farm in Leyden, Massachusetts. From 1906 to 1909 he was in Detroit, Michigan, and he has recently re- turned to Leyden. He is a member of the Protestant Epis- copal Church. On December 23, 1902, at Brattleboro, Vermont, he married Ada Brann, daughter of Alba Augustus Brann and Sophie Prince Field. She is of Scotch descent on her mother's side, and of German descent on her father's. The family name was originally Brandt. His address is Leyden, Massachusetts. Edwin Lynde Dillingham is the son of Edwin F. Dilling- ham and Julia (Snell) Dillingham. His father was born at Warren, Maine, on June 6, 1832, and for more than half a century he has been the most prominent bookseller in Bangor. Both his mother's and his father's family are of English origin, the Dillingham family having settled in Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1630, and his mother coming of a family that settled in New England in 1640, where they were people of historical prominence. Dillingham's ma- ternal grandfather, Martin Snell, was graduated from Brown in 18 18, and after taking a post-graduate course at Yale received the degree of A.M. in 1821. His great- grandmother, Abigail Alden, was a lineal descendant in the fifth generation from John Alden and Priscilla Mullens, who came over in the Mayflower in 1620. F. H. Dilling- ham, his brother, was graduated from Bowdoin in 1877, and a cousin was graduated from Yale in 1891. Dillingham was born in Bangor, Maine, on May 3, 1861, attended school in that city, and entered '82 at the beginning of freshman year, although, on account of a serious illness, he did not join the class until October. While in college he C 2 32] BIOGRAPHIES roomed with Jefferds, in freshman and sophomore years in West Divinity, and in junior and senior years in Durfee. He was an editor of the Yale News in senior year, secretary Edwin Lynde Dillingham of the University Baseball Association, and secretary and treasurer of the University Athletic Association. During senior year he was president of the University Baseball Association, and a member of the senior promenade com- mittee. He was a member of Delta Kappa, Psi Upsilon, the University Club, and is a graduate member of Wolf's Head. After graduation Dillingham was engaged in brokerage for several years as a partner in the firm of Currie & Dil- lingham, and thereafter in 1885 became connected with the publishing house of his uncle, Charles T. Dillingham. He has since been continuously engaged in the publishing busi- ness, being for a time connected with the firm of Ticknor & HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Company, and later with Lee & Shepard in Boston. Sub- sequently he returned to New York and became a partner in the firm of Charles T. Dillingham & Company. In 1896 that firm sold out to the Baker & Taylor Company, and Dil- lingham became connected with Charles Scribner's Sons, publishers, with which concern he now occupies an impor- tant position. He is a member of the New York University Club, the Yale Club, the Aldine Association, and the Engle- wood Golf Club. He is unmarried. His business address is 153 Fifth Avenue, New York City, and his residence is 148 West Eighty-fifth Street, New York Citv. Franklin Maynard Eaton is the son of Henry Franklin Eaton and Anna Louisa (Boardman) Eaton. The Eatons came to this country in 1836 and settled in Watertown, Massachusetts, and the Boardmans came from Yorkshire, England, in 1637, and settled at Xewburyport, Massachu- setts. Henry Franklin Eaton was a lumber-manufacturer in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, and Calais, Maine. He was born on November 22, 18 12, at Groton, Massachusetts, and died in 1905 at Calais.

For five years he was in the South at Port Gibson, Mississippi, for fifteen years in Chicago, and for another fifteen in New York City. He was a wholesale importer of coffee, and died on February 24, 1877. His parents were Richard Ely and Mary Peck of Lyme, Con- necticut. His family was of English origin, and his ances- tors came to this country from England in 1628 and settled at Lyme, where they owned and lived on the same premises from 1628 to 1850. Ely's mother was born in Massillon, Ohio, and died in New York City. She was the daughter of James Duncan of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Emily Villette of Virginia. Her family was of Scotch and 037:1 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 French origin, and her ancestors came from those countries and settled in Portsmouth and Virginia. Ely was born on August 12, 1859, in Chicago, Illinois. He lived in Chicago until 1866, and then in New York City. He attended the following schools: Charlier School from 1866 to 1 87 1, Auction's School till 1873, Williston Semi- nary in 1874 and part of 1875, was in Europe till the latter part of 1875, and attended the Signers' School till 1877.

He has taken some interest in politics, having belonged to the old County De- mocracy and subsequently to its successor, the State Democ- racy. Later he was a member of the National Democratic party, in which he was on the executive committee of the County Organization. In April, 1895, he was appointed assistant United States attorney and served until February, 1898, when his resignation, tendered in December, 1897, was accepted. He was a delegate to the Syracuse Conven- tion of the National Democratic party in 1905, and he was a delegate to the National Convention of the party in In- dianapolis when Palmer and Buckner were nominated. In the fall of 1898 he was made a member of the Committee of One Hundred in the movement in behalf of an inde- pendent judiciary. In January, 1902, he was appointed BIOGRAPHIES assistant district attorney under William Travers Jerome. In 1905 he took an active interest in Jerome's election for the office of district attorney in the latter's independent cam- paign. Since his admission to the bar he has been a member of the law firms of Ely & Walker, and Ely & McBride. The Walker of his first firm was Eugene W.

Amos Richards Eno's an- cestors went from Valenciennes, France, to London in 1569, thence to Windsor, Connecticut, in 1648, and soon after- ward to Simsbury, Connecticut, where he was born on No- vember 1, 1 8 10. Early in life he moved to New York and was known as a successful dry-goods merchant and real estate owner. He died in New York on February 21, 1898. His father was Solomon Eno. His grandfather, Jonathan Eno, served in the Revolutionary War, as also did his great- uncle, Major-General Roger Eno. The name in France was spelled in various ways, namely, Henne, Hennet, Hai- nau, and Hainault. In England and America it has been HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 spelled at different times Enno, Enos, and Eno. The ances- tors of Eno's mother came from Tewkesbury, England, in 1630, settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts, thence went to William Phelps Eno Windsor, Connecticut, and finally to Simsbury, Connecticut, where she was born on March 1, 1818. She died in New York on November 14, 1882. Her father was Elisha Phelps, of Yale 1800, and her grandfather was Major- General Noah Phelps, whose reconnaissance of Fort Ticon- deroga was followed by its capture. Her fifth great-grand- father was the Rev. Garsham Bulkley, of Harvard 1655, and her sixth great-grandfather was Charles Chauncey, sec- ond president of Harvard College. Eno was born in New York on June 3, 1858. He went to school in Paris and St. Germain in 1868-69. He at- tended a number of schools in New York City, one in New- BIOGRAPHIES burgh, New York, Williston Seminary in Easthampton, Massachusetts, and the Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven. He entered the class of 1 88 i at Yale with seven conditions which he passed oft, but voluntarily withdrew his papers and joined the class of 1882 the following Septem- ber. He was a member of the class crew, of the freshman class supper committee, floor manager of the junior prome- nade, leader and manager of the junior and senior germans, and gave considerable time to the reorganization of the Yale University Club. He was taken ill with scarlet fever just after the junior promenade and was out of college until May, when he returned and finished the year with his class, but did not return to college in senior year. He was a member of Delta Kappa, He Boule, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. In 1 88 1 he entered a New York bank to learn the busi- ness. From 1884 to 1898 he spent much of his time in his father's office, where he had unusual opportunities to gain a thorough knowledge of real estate in all its branches. About ten years after leaving college in 1881 the faculty sent Eno his degree of A.B., with enrolment in the class of 1882, in response to a petition signed by most of his classmates. About 1900 he received permission to erect an exact repro- duction of the old fence within the campus, to make up, as far as possible, for the irreparable loss of the original fence, which had been removed to permit the erection of Osborn Hall, and at the same time he provided a fund for new walks and other improvements on the campus. On the founding of the Yale Club in New York, Eno was elected to the council and intrusted with the adaptation of the first club-house. He was on the council for several years, was engaged on the financial plan that led to the new club-house on Forty-fourth Street, and was chairman of the building committee. The club-house was completed for the amount of the appropriation and within the promised time. He has [>40 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 been present at the Yale-Harvard boat races at New Lon- don for the past ten years, where his yacht Aquilo has acted as judges' boat. On the death of his father, in 1898, he be- came one of the executors of his estate, which took three years to settle. He is largely interested in real estate, but for the past few years has not been active in business mat- ters, having devoted practically all his time to introducing and perfecting street traffic regulation in New York and other cities. He took the London practice of regulating traffic on the streets as a basis to start with, and introduced such extra or new things as seemed necessary to perfect the system. The rules now officially adopted in New York and partially or wholly in almost every city in the United States were compiled by him. In the autumn of 1909 he went to London and to Paris to study street traffic in both places. As one result, the authorities in London have signified their intention of adopting some of the New York regulations in the near future, and as another, the prefet of police of Paris, on December 1 last, put the New York regulations in opera- tion on the Rue de la Paix and has since extended them to many other streets, and the New York regulations have become the standing ones of the city of Paris. He has written many articles and pamphlets on street traffic regula- tion, civic transportation, and kindred subjects. In Sep- tember, 1909, he published a book entitled "Street Traffic Regulations." It has been given large circulation here and in Europe and is the only book on the subject. Eno belongs to the following clubs: Metropolitan, Cosmos, University, and Chevy Chase of Washington; University, Yale, City, New York Yacht, and Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht of New York; Boston of New Orleans, and Quinnipiack and Graduates' of New Haven. On April 4, 1883, in New Orleans, he married Alice Rathbone, daughter of Henry Alenson Rathbone, born in Hartford, Connecticut, of English descent, and Marie Ce- C 2 42 3 BIOGRAPHIES leste Forstall, a native of New Orleans, of French, Spanish, and Irish descent. His residence is Washington, District of Columbia, where he built a house four years ago.

Carlton Alexander Foote is the son of Alexander Foote and Sarah Amelia (Kelsey) Foote. His father was born at Carlton Alexander Foote Northford, Connecticut, on February 9, 1824, but spent most of his life in New Haven, where he was engaged in business until his death in 1894. The family is of English BIOGRAPHIES origin, and located at Wethersfield, of which Foote's ances- tor was one of the first settlers and where he died in 1664. His mother's family was also of English ancestry, coming to this country in 1660 and settling at Madison, Connecticut. One of Foote's ancestors was a tutor and fellow of Yale in the middle of the eighteenth century, and was secretary of the corporation from 1770 to 1776. Foote was born on January 10, 1859, at New Haven, Connecticut, where he attended the New Haven High School, entering '82 in September, 1878. While in college he took the Berkeley prize for Latin composition, a subject in which he early- displayed ability, and the teaching of which he has made his life-work. After graduation he taught school for a number of years in Portland, Oregon, and from 1884 to 1886 he held the Larned scholarship, taking a post-graduate course at Yale, from which he received the degree of M.A. in 1902. For eight years he was in charge of the Latin School at Atchi- son, Kansas, but in 1901 came to New York and took the examination for teachers of Latin in the high schools of that city. The result of the examination was evidence of his exceptional fitness for his work, as he was third in rank on the list of those passing. In 1902 he was appointed in- structor in Latin at the De Witt Clinton High School, a position which he still retains, having also taught French and Greek at intervals. He is unmarried. His business address is De Witt Clinton High School, Tenth Avenue and Fifty-ninth Street, and his residence is 157 West One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Street, New York City.

He entered Yale with the class, roomed with Vought in sophomore year, and with Osborne in junior and senior years, was champion high kicker of the class, contrib- uted occasionally to the Lit, and belonged to Delta Kappa, He Boule, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. After graduation he studied for three years in the Har- vard Medical School, became an M.D. in June, 1885, with the highest hospital appointment in the class, and began on August 1, 1885, an eighteen months' service in the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, Boston. On leaving the hospital in February, 1887, he went to Europe and spent the re- mainder of the year studying in Vienna and Dublin. For the twenty and more years which have intervened since that time, he has been practising in St. Paul, varying the routine of his work by professional and editorial duties. He is professor of dermatology and lecturer on the history of medicine at the University of Minnesota, and editor of the St. Paul Medical Journal. He has published his lectures ("A Course of Lectures on the History of Medicine and of the Medical Profession"), and is the author of nu- merous articles for medical journals.

In the sum- mer of 1896 Foster had a desperate encounter with some highwaymen at Wyoming, Minnesota, when he was hasten- ing from St. Paul to join his wife near that place in response to a telegram. Two men were killed in the fracas, and 050 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Foster himself was beaten into insensibility. Bob Wilson, the assassin, was killed by a posse of citizens and officers, and his two accomplices were captured. In April, 1909, Foster delivered, by invitation, an address before the Asso- ciation of Life-Insurance Presidents, of New York City, entitled "A Suggestion Concerning the Increased Longevity of Life-Insurance Policy-Holders." In this address, which attracted wide attention not only among life-insurance men but in the newspaper press all over the country, he made a strong plea for enlisting the powerful organizations of life- insurance companies in the cause of preventive medicine, urging that anything which contributed to human longevity would be of financial advantage to the business of life- insurance. Several of the suggestions made in this ad- dress have already been adopted by some of the life-insur- ance companies. On January 1, 1894, Foster married Sophie Vernon Hammond, daughter of John Henry Hammond, a general in the Union army, and Sophie Wolfe, of English and Hu- guenot ancestry. There are three children: Harriet Burn- side, born on February 3, 1895 ; Elizabeth Hammond, born on March 5, 1899; and Roger Sherman, born on December 13, 1901, all in St. Paul. "My life has been comfortable and happy," writes their father, "and I have been fairly successful in my profession." His business address is Lowry Arcade, and his residence is 117 Farrington Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota. Asa Palmer French is the son of Asa French and Sophia Briggs (Palmer) French. Asa French, Sr., a graduate of Yale in the class of 185 1, was born in Braintree, Massachu- setts, on October 21, 1829, attended the Albany and Har- vard law schools, practised law, was judge of the court of Alabama claims in Washington, and died in Braintree on BIOGRAPHIES June 23, 1903.

After that he had a year at Adams Acad- emy, Quincy, Massachusetts, and another year at Thayer Academy, Braintree. In freshman year French roomed alone on York Street, in sophomore year in South Middle with Campbell, and in junior and senior years with Camp- bell in Durfee. He was a contributor to the Record in sophomore year, and in junior and senior years one of the editors. He was on the freshman class supper committee, fence orator in sophomore year, chairman of the junior promenade committee, and one of the class historians. He won the sophomore prize declamation.

He then studied law at the Boston University Law School, was admitted to the bar, went to Washington as clerk to the judges of the court of Alabama claims for one year, and then returned to Boston to practise law. He was nominated by both Republicans and Democrats in 1901, and was elected district attorney for the Southeastern Dis- trict of Massachusetts. Reelected as the candidate of both parties in 1904, he served until January, 1906, when he re- signed to accept the appointment, tendered him by President Roosevelt, of United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts, which office he now holds. He has gained for himself an enviable reputation as an advocate on account of his remarkable management, in asso- ciation with the Hon. James E. Cotter, his senior, of the defense of Thomas M. Bram, mate of the barkentine Her- bert Fuller, tried for murder on the high seas in October, 1896, and argued on error before the Supreme Court of the United States, where the judgment of the Circuit Court against Bram was reversed. This was his first celebrated case and brought him into national prominence. The 054:1 BIOGRAPHIES strength of his power to convince jurors was later illus- trated when he secured the acquittal of Joseph E. Seery, indicted for murder in December, 1899, in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. He has also figured in many im- portant civil cases, and, several years ago, won additional prominence by his able presentation of the cause of the anti- vivisectionists before the Committee on Probate Chancery of the Massachusetts Legislature. This service was rendered for practically no remuneration, and as a contribution to the cause of humanity. He is president of the Randolph Savings Bank, of the Norfolk Bar Association, a member of the executive com- mittee of the Massachusetts State Bar Association, a trustee of the Thayer Academy, and governor of the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants.

He was of a quiet, earnest disposition, commanding the respect of all and the love of those who knew him best. His strength of character and his natural abilities were such that, had they been coupled with a strong physique, he would surely have attained a position in the world that would have been an honor to the class.

From 1896 to 1900 he was in the United States navy, and participated in the battle of Manila under Dewey, and since 1900 he has been in the government employ in the Census Bureau. His work involves considerable travel. He writes: "I had the honor to belong to the fleet under Admiral Dewey and was with him on May 1 , 1898, when we whipped the Spaniards in Manila Bay, and remained in the Philip- pines throughout the war and afterward until September 2, 1899. So far as I know, I am the only Yale man of any class who took part in those stirring events. With the ex- ception of the above, my life has been absolutely uneventful." He was married on November 7, 1888, in New Orleans, and the bride was Lucy Wiltz, daughter of Louis Alfred Wiltz and Michail Bienvenu. Mrs. Gardes is of a pure Creole family. The four children are: Alfred Wiltz, born on August 22, 1 890, in New Orleans ; Arthur Hutchins, born on November 2, 1 891, in the same city; George Washburn, born on December 31, 1900, in Norfolk, Virginia; and Marie Louise Geraldine, born on February 24, 1906, in Washington, District of Columbia.

He then spent eighteen months at the Boston City Hospital, and in January, 1887, went home to New London, Connecticut, and settled down to the practice of medicine. He has re- mained in New London ever since. He writes: "The round of professional duties in a small city, how- ever important and absorbing to those immediately con- cerned, affords little of interest for a narrative. Routine professional duties, though generally arduous and exacting, have yet left some time which could be devoted to outside interests." Graves has been for many years one of the trustees of the Bulkeley School, and is also one of the trustees of the New London Public Library. He is also an officer in the Manwaring Memorial Hospital. His travels have been limited to various trips in different parts of this country, but the larger part of his leisure has been given to the study of the various natural sciences.

Richards & Heald to combine practical with theoretical work, as was the requirement for a two years' course. In June, 1884, I passed my final examination and was admitted to the bar in New York. "During the following year I became interested in some patents for the manufacture of 'water-gas,' and became the secretary of a company that started out with great promise. Our career was cut short by losing a patent suit, and we were forced to retire gracefully from the business. "This occupied most of my time up to 1888. In that year I was seized with a sudden longing to follow the advice of Horace Greeley, and selected Denver as the objective point. I was delighted with the climate and people and decided to settle there. "The law never appealed to me. I lacked the elements that go to make a successful lawyer. Soon after reaching Denver I investigated a land scheme that some of my new- made friends were embarking on and went into it. The lands that we bought were located at Buena Vista, a very pretty mountain town, lying in the Arkansas valley at the foot of the 'College Peaks' — Mounts Yale, Harvard, and Princeton. I resided for some time in Buena Vista. Na- ture has always appealed to me, but after studying the situ- ation I decided that man cannot live on scenery, and sold out my holdings to advantage and returned to Denver. C280] BIOGRAPHIES "In 1 89 1 I married Florence Olmsted Ward, daughter of the Hon. Jasper D. Ward, and I never did a better thing. I thought so then, and after sixteen years I think so still. Judge Ward and I mined together for some time, but with- out success. We were among the early ones to exploit Crip- ple Creek in a small way. That was in 1893. You couldn't go into camp in a Pullman car then, but had a long pull over the mountains in an old 'Concord' or a mud wagon behind six. It was an interesting trip with Keno on the box, but it was cold in winter. I once had the pleasure of a trip down the side of a mountain, six horses and all, when we slipped off the road in turning out for an ore-wagon in a snow- storm. I have been knocked unconscious by a windlass handle. I have been bucked off into the dry bed of a moun- tain creek, and I think there are some rocks still embedded in my back. These are trivial matters, but go to show some of the incidents of a life not wholly free from variety. "There were born to me twin daughters on April 15, 1892. November 16, 1900, the boy arrived. We named him Jo- siah Gilbert Holland after his grandfather. I hope to see him a Yale man. "A good many trials beset me at this time. My daughter Elizabeth succumbed to pneumonia on April 25, 1901, and in 1902 I suffered a severe breakdown with nervous pros- tration, from which I did not recover for nearly two years. Finding that the confinement of a law office would not do, I took up real estate. I have been in that business since, and was, for a time, connected with the Eden Irrigation & Land Company, a corporation operating under the Carey Act in western Wyoming. I am now doing a general real estate and investment business. I find Denver a delightful place to live in, but regret that it is so far away from old friends and associations." Holland was originally a Presbyterian, but joined the Episcopal Church in 1896 and has been a vestryman in St. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Barnabas' Church in Denver for the past nine years. He is a member of the Denver Country Club. He was married on June 3, 1891, at Denver, to Florence Olmsted Ward, daughter of Jasper D. Ward and Emma J. Raworth.

The family was of French Huguenot origin, his ancestors having come to this country from France, via Sandwich, England, in 1635, and settled at New London, Connecticut. Lewis' mother was born on September 2, 18 17, at Naugatuck, Connecticut, where she lived until her death on November 20, 1888. Her family was of English origin. The following ancestors and near kinsmen of Lewis were Yale graduates: Thomas Lewis, 1798; Edwin A. Lewis, 1870; Tracy S. Lewis, 1894 (Sheff.) ; Edwin T. Lewis, 1899. D° 2 3 BIOGRAPHIES Lewis was born April 8, 1857, at Naugatuck, Connecti- cut, and resided there before entering college, preparing at the Naugatuck High School, the South Berkshire Institute, Charles Henry Lewis and at Williston Seminary, entering '82 in the fall of 1878.

He then served on the staff of St. Vincent's Hospital for eigh- teen months, the last six months as house physician and sur- geon. The following year was spent in Europe in study and D°3] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 travel, after which he returned to New York and did special work in the Carnegie Laboratory, and about one year later began active practice in New York City. For five years he was assistant physician in the out-patient department of Roosevelt Hospital, from which he resigned to organize a dispensary at St. Vincent's Hospital and to take charge of the medical division. Subsequently he became assistant attending physician at St. Vincent's Hospital, and for the past eight years he has been attending physician, and is at present a member of the executive committee of the medical board of that hospital. In 1892 he acted as one of the or- ganizers of the Columbus Hospital, and is now one of its attending physicians and vice-president of its medical board. Lewis is the author of numerous medical treatises published in different journals, and is a member of the University Club of New York, the New York Athletic Club, the American State and County Medical Associations, and various other professional organizations, and in 1904-05 he was the pres- ident of the Hospital Graduates' Club.

At Yale he pitched on the freshman baseball team, and was a mem- ber of Kappa Sigma Epsilon. After his return to China he was sent to the Government School of Telegraphy at Tientsin. For a number of years he was private secretary of his Excellency Chang Chi-tung, 1 While the book was in press Lewis died suddenly of apoplexy on March 31, 1911. [304] BIOGRAPHIES Viceroy of Hukwang, at Wuchang. In 1903 he entered the customs service at Hankow, and two years later was transferred to Tientsin in the same service. He was then Liang Tun Yen deputed as the chief commissioner to inquire into the cause of the Niu-chuang massacre, which was causing trouble with France, and he managed to avert the danger of a serious breach and bring the affair to a peaceful conclusion. His creditable handling of that case brought him the promotion to the directorship of the Tientsin-Chinkiang Railway, with the power to raise funds for the construction of the proposed line. Before he was fairly launched on this work he was nominated to be Minister to the United States, but declined the appointment, and was made controller-general of the Imperial Maritime Customs, with a view to reinstating the control of the Chinese customs in the hands of the natives. D05] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 In conjunction with that office he accepted the position of junior vice-president of the Board of Foreign Affairs at Peking, which he held until he was recently elected president of the board. His diplomatic career has been most brilliant, and he is now one of the foremost figures in China. In 1908 he was sent to Amoy as one of the commission to welcome the visiting American fleet. He is said by an admiring friend to be the biggest man in China, and in charge of all her foreign relations, occupying a position corresponding to that of Secretary of State in the United States. His address is Board of Foreign Affairs, Peking, China. Charles Jonas Long is the son of Jonas Long, who came to this country about the year 1846, and, after living some years in Philadelphia, finally settled in Wilkes-Barre in i860, and died there in 1884. The family is of German origin. Long was born in Philadelphia on May 3, 1859, but was taken to Wilkes-Barre soon after, and went to the Wilkes- Barre public schools, the Wyoming Seminary, Kingston, Pennsylvania, and the Central High School of Philadelphia. Afterward, under Professor George Stuart, he was tutored for college, entering Yale in 1878. It was Long's idea to take up a professional career, but the death of his father soon after graduation drew him, along with his brothers, into the care of his father's busi- ness. He is now actively engaged in the management of Jonas Long's Sons' chain of department stores, and is a director of the Luzerne County Trust Company. Long has taken a deep interest in the public affairs of Wilkes-Barre. He is a member of the Wyoming Historical Society and a trustee of the Wilkes-Barre Board of Trade. He was chosen by the latter to represent it at the Commonwealth Do6n BIOGRAPHIES Congress and Export Exposition at Philadelphia, and was one of the deputation which welcomed President Roosevelt when he visited Wilkes-Barre in 1905. He has been a life- Charles Jonas Long long Republican, and was at one time treasurer of the Re- publican Eeague of Northeastern Pennsylvania. He has de- clined political preferment, although he has represented his State at national gatherings. He was three times selected as a representative to the National Prison Congress of the United States, twice appointed by Governor Stone, and again by Governor Pennypacker. At the Kansas City Congress he delivered an interesting address on "Prison Reform." He is unmarried. His business address is care of Jonas Long's Sons, and his residence is North River Street, Wilkes-Barre, Penn- sylvania. D°7] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Seymour Crane Loomis is the son of George Wells Loomis and Mary Ellen (Norton) Loomis. He is English on both sides of the family. The paternal ancestors were de- :-- Seymour Crane Loomis scended from Joseph Loomis, who came from Braintree, England, in 1638, and after a year in Boston settled in Windsor, Connecticut. Our classmate's grandparents in this line were John Wells Loomis of Suffield, Connecticut, and Eliza Whitney of Huntington, Massachusetts. His father was born on June 24, 1832, in Southwick, Massachu- setts, and lived most of his life in Suffield, attending Mr. Bird's School in Hartford in his youth. He was a merchant and manufacturer, and died on February 10, 1903. Loom- is' mother was born on June 6, 1836, in Suffield, the daugh- ter of Daniel W. Norton and Mindwell Pease. Her family C3083 BIOGRAPHIES came from Bedfordshire, England, in 1633, and settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts. Loomis was horn on November 12, 1861, in Suffield. At the age of twelve he entered the Connecticut Literary Insti- tution, from which he was graduated as valedictorian in 1878. During his college course he roomed at home with his parents. He was a member of Delta Kappa. The theory and practice of law had been a hobby with him in college to the extent of actually impelling his going to the law courts in his spare moments and following the cases. Consequently it was no surprise to his friends when, after being graduated from Yale, he entered the Law School and was graduated in 1884 an LL.B. cum laude. Meantime, from 1883 he worked in the office of a New Haven lawyer, John \Y. Ailing, Yale '62. For three years after graduation he w r as with Mr. Ailing, and from 1887 to 1893 practised with Judge William B. Stoddard. In the fall of 1893 he opened an office of his own, and this he still maintains. He has been engaged in general civil practice, largely in cases involving insurance and employers' and common carriers' liability, and the law of trusts and estates. Always inter- ested in politics, he was elected assistant city clerk of New Haven in 1885 and 1886; and in the latter part of 1886, during the illness and after the death of his superior, he was acting city clerk. In 1903 he was appointed executive secre- tary to Governor Morris and held that office for two years. As such he did for the State Executive Department the work now done by the attorney-general, an office since created by the Legislature. Loomis was the compiler and editor of the New Haven City Year-Books in 1885 and 1886, and has published many legal papers and addresses. He is a member of the United Church (Congregational), a Democrat, and a member of the Graduates' Club, the New Haven Country Club, the Yale Club of New York, the General Staff Association of [309] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Connecticut, the Democratic Club, the Connecticut Bar As- sociation, the American Bar Association, the local advisory committee of the American Health League, the Association for the Advancement of Science, Hiram Lodge No. i, Free and Accepted Masons, and the New Haven Chamber of Commerce. He is also president of the New Haven branch of the Sons of the American Revolution, president of the Congregational Club, president of a committee of citizens for the aid of New Haven charities, a director of the Organ- ized Charities, and secretary of the Citizens' Trust Com- pany. He visited Europe in 1887, the West Indies in 1906, and has traveled extensively in this country and Canada. On April 22, 1892, in New Haven, he married Catharine Canfield Northrop, daughter of Samuel Canfield Northrop and Caroline Tomlinson Bassett. Mrs. Loomis is descended from John Taylor, who came from England in the Rev. Ephraim Huit's company in 1639, and settled in Windsor, Connecticut. Among her ancestors were Dr. Amos Bassett, Yale 1784, a tutor and fellow of Yale; Dr. Nathaniel W. Taylor, Yale 1807, professor of theology in the Divinity School; and Dr. Martin Bull Bassett, Yale 1823, a Derby physician.

During freshman and sophomore years he roomed with Kinley in North College and in the Treasury Building, in junior year with E. E. Smith in North Middle, and in senior year at 273 Whaley Avenue. After leaving college Lovering became a teacher, and car- C31O HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 ried on his work uninterruptedly until June, 1904. About that time his health failed to some extent, and since then he has, as he expresses it, been rusticating on a farm. He writes as follows : "I come of a long-lived ancestry. Both grandmothers lived to be over ninety years old. My maternal grand- mother lived to be over ninety-nine years of age. I hope I may live as long and as worthily." Lovering is independent in politics, has been president of the Board of Education, is a member of the School Commit- tee of Carlisle, and, though a member of the Congrega- tional Church, has held the office of vestryman, church clerk, and church treasurer in an Episcopal church.

He was a descendant in a double line from the Rev. Thomas Hooker, founder of the Connecticut Colony at Hartford in 1637. "Of my mother's ancestors, Zechariah Whitman was graduated from Harvard in the class of 1668, and Samuel Whitman in the class of 1696.

From 1887 to 1889 Morris was at the Berkeley Divinity School, at Middletown, Connecticut, be- coming a deacon in 1889 and a priest of the Episcopal Church in 1890. The summer of 1889 he spent traveling in England and Scotland. He is an independent in politics. Of his pastorate since entering the ministry he writes: "My life in the Church for eighteen years has been a roving one. I have served as curate, rector, and missionary in many parishes, in various parts of the country, in city, vil- lage, and town, and among all classes of people. "Like every rover, I have had the benefits of that sort of life, and have also had to pay the penalties. The penal- ties are obvious and sometimes poignant. But I have kept out of the ruts and escaped bondage. I enjoy life and I enjoy my work. Life appears to me as fresh and full of interest as it did twenty-five years ago." On October 24, 1904, at Amesbury, Massachusetts, he married Mary Josephine Burlingame, daughter of Charles Austin Burlingame and Katharine Maon.

Page's mother was born at Phippsburg, Maine, in 1821, and there spent her early life, dying at Bath, Maine, November, 1893. Her family was of Scotch-Irish origin, her ancestors having come to this country in 1728 and settled at Georgetown, Maine.

Frank Edward Page After leaving college Page went to Chicago and studied law in the office of Cornelius Van Schaack and others until he was admitted to practice in 1884. After his admission to the bar he was engaged in general practice continuously until his death. He wrote concerning his career : "It is deplorably lacking in interest, but such is the fate of man who lives out of the public eye. I have not inscribed my name high in the temple of fame, on the other hand it has not been engrossed in bankruptcy or criminal court pro- ceedings, except occasionally in a professional capacity. I arrived in Chicago with five dollars capital and could prob- C334] BIOGRAPHIES ably schedule that amount now, though there have been times in the past twenty-five years when I could not have made this proud boast." Early in 1908 he made a legal connection with one of the old-line life-insurance companies, which took a good deal of his time, and paid him well. The work was not all of a legal nature, but was in connection with the investment and reinvestment of real estate in Chicago and the immediate vicinity. Page died at his home in Chicago, May 25, 1909, of pneumonia, after a short illness. The Warren Avenue Con- gregational Church paper, in a notice of his death, said: "No one has ever been identified with the church who was so intimately connected with all the departments of its work and so helpful in all of them as was Mr. Page. He was con- nected with the church before its organization as an indepen- dent church twenty years ago, and when it was so organized he was elected church treasurer, a position which he held, with the exception of a short time, until his death. This position identified him with the board of trustees during all the life of the church, and his wise judgment and kindly counsel has had no little to do with guiding the affairs of the church in times of crisis." Page married, July 2, 1895, at Chicago, Illinois, Gertrude M. Swenson, the daughter of Bernard Swenson and An- toinette Swenson. Two of Mrs. Page's brothers and two of her sisters are graduates of colleges. They had no children. Josiah Culbert Palmer is the son of Lucius Noyes Palmer and Anna (Culbert) Palmer.

During the next few years his business became entirely corporate. In 1905 he ran for mayor of New Haven as a Democrat, and although he received very many Republican votes, he was badly beaten, partly as a punishment for his gold record, the only so-called Democratic paper in town bolting him.

Pierce himself was born on November 20, i860, in Richard Henry Pierce Woonsocket, Rhode Island. He was less than a year and a half old, therefore, when his father was killed. The rest of his youth was spent in Hopkinton, and in 1878 he was graduated from the Hopkinton High School, in which at one time his father and mother had been principal and pupil respectively. He roomed with Pember, first in North, then in South Middle, and for the last two years in Durfee.

In 1894 he formed the firm of Pierce & Richardson, consulting engineers, which in 1897 was changed to a corporation styled Pierce, Rich- ardson & Neiler. The company is engaged in electrical, mechanical, sanitary, heating, and ventilating engineering in a purely professional way. Pierce is president thereof. For several years and until he left Chicago he was the local honorary secretary of the American Institute of Elec- trical Engineers. In 1904 he was chief engineer of the Exhibits Power Plant at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition; was also associate member and expert of all the group juries and the department jury in the Department of Ma- chinery, and was awarded a gold medal for services as chief engineer and also as member of the International Steam-Engine Jury of Awards.

In 1890 he became the principal of Mil- waukee Academy, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This institution was in existence for more than forty years, and was man- aged by Pratt with ability and success, both as to its financial condition, and as to its ability properly to equip students for college. Many of the best people in Milwaukee sent their sons to the academy, and it has been stated that most of the boys who have gone to Eastern colleges from that city were prepared by Pratt, w T ho is well liked both by the boys and by their parents. In July, 1909, Milwaukee Academy was merged into the German-English Academy, on the faculty of which institution Pratt accepted a leading position. Pratt is an independent in politics, and, while originally a Congre- gationalism he became a member of the Episcopal Church, and has been actively connected therewith, both as superin- tendent of a Sunday-school and as choir-master.

His father's family is of Welsh descent, but his ancestors came to this country James Quackenbush Rice from England about the middle of the seventeenth century, and settled in Rhode Island. James Quackenbush Rice, Sr., was a graduate of Wesleyan University, Middletown, Con- necticut, and was later given the degree of M.A. by that university. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was con- ducting a large school in Goshen, Litchfield County, Con- necticut.

At the same time he studied law, taking the degree of LL.B. at the Columbian University Law School, and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in 1884. He remained in the Patent Office until 1898, and during most of his term as principal examiner was in charge of the class of inventions relating more par- ticularly to printing machinery and machinery for producing paper products. It is in connection with this class of ma- chinery, therefore, that he is best known to the patent pro- fession. He was also at various times, however, in charge of classes of invention relating to tobacco machinery, sew- ing-machines, and applied electricity. He resigned from [357] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 the Patent Office in February, 1898, to become a member of the firm of Philipp, Phelps & Sawyer, 220 Broadway, New York.

Of his life since graduation he writes: "Immediately after graduation I determined to study elec- trical engineering. Professor Arthur Wright laid out my work, there being in 1882 no institution in the United States or abroad offering a course for giving a degree in electrical engineering. I began my studies in the summer, but before the college year began I received a flattering business offer, which I accepted. "I remained in the wholesale watch and jewelry business [359] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE ? 82 in Boston for seven years, and then went to Moreno, Cali- fornia, into orange and fruit raising. "I came to Los Angeles in 1899, and began contracting. A short time ago, with others, I incorporated under the name of the Richards-Neustadt Construction Company, with place of business at 704 Wright and Callender Building, Hill and Fourth Streets, Los Angeles, California.

The Rutledge family was of Irish origin, having come to this country in 1730 and settled at Charleston. The first of Rutledge's ancestors in this country was attorney- r.3653 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 general of the colony, and in the next generation the family were all lawyers, educated in England and members of Lincoln's Inns of Court. John Rutledge was the second Benjamin Huger Rutledge Chief Justice of the United States, and Edward Rutledge one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and High Chancellor of South Carolina for many years, dying in office after the Revolutionary period. Rutledge's father was a member of the Secession Convention of i860, and commanded a brigade in the army of the Confederate States during the Civil War. On his mother's side the ancestry of Rutledge is equally distinguished, all his maternal fore- fathers having been educated in England, one of them hav- ing been a royal governor, one president of the Continental Congress, one a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and one a governor of South Carolina and Minister from D 66 n BIOGRAPHIES the United States to Russia. All of these were graduates of English universities. Rutledge was born on September 4, 1861, at Charleston, South Carolina, and there resided prior to entering college. He prepared for Yale at the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Virginia, and entered '82 in junior year, during which he roomed alone on Elm Street. At that time the war period was not so distant that its sadly bitter experiences could be forgotten, and it would have taken more than a normal youth from the South to escape all feeling of rancor toward those of Northern blood. The Yale spirit, how- ever, works surely though subtly, and gradually the spirit of friendship supplanted that of hostility, and Rutledge became loved and loving. Rutledge came to Yale a type of the Old South, but was graduated with the spirit of the New South. Since that time he has been busily engaged in the practice of law in Charleston, his firm being Mordecai & Gadsden, Rutledge & Hagood. In 1885 he was elected captain of the Carolina Rifles, and in 1887 major commanding the Sec- ond Battalion, Fourth Brigade, South Carolina Volunteer Troops. In 1889 he was president of the City Democratic Convention, and was for a number of years a member of the State Legislature. He has for many years been vestryman of St. Michael's Episcopal Church, and is a member of the Charleston Club, the St. Cecilia Society, the State Bar Asso- ciation, and the Masonic Fraternity. Rutledge married on October 5, 1892, at Fletcher, North Carolina, Emma Craig Blake, daughter of Daniel Blake and Helen E. Craig. Mrs. Rutledge is a descendant of Benjamin Blake, a brother of Admiral Blake, and also of Sir Joseph Low, Proprietor of South Carolina, and the first governor thereof born in this country. They have six chil- dren, of whom one, the only boy, Benjamin H., Jr., born January 11, 1902, Rutledge designates as destined, D. V., for Yale 1924.

Daniel Sammis Sanford is the son of Daniel Sanford and Helen Eliza (Sammis) Sanford. Sanford is English on both sides of the family. The paternal ancestors came to this country from Stowe, Gloucester County, England, be- tween 1630 and 1634, and settled in Dorchester, Massachu- setts. Aaron Sanford and Fanny Hill of Redding, Connecti- Daniel Sammis Sanford cut, were Sanford's grandparents, and his father was the founder of Redding Institute. Sanford's father was edu- cated at White Plains Academy and Wesleyan University, where he received the degree of M.A. He was born in D683 BIOGRAPHIES Redding Ridge on March 5, 18 17, and died there on Janu- ary 12, 1902.

He is an Episcopalian, an independent politically, and chairman of the Board of Edu- cation in his native town. He was a member of the Brook- D 6 9] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 line Thursday Club for twelve years and its president for two. He belonged to the Twentieth Century Club of Bos- ton for ten years, and was its secretary for one year. On July 7, 1898, in Derby, Connecticut, Sanford married Annie Bennett Tomlinson, daughter of Joseph Tomlinson and Annie Brewster, the latter a lineal descendant of Elder Brewster. Mrs. Sanford is a Wellesley graduate in the class of 1893 and was a graduate student at Yale 1893-94. They have two children: Joseph Hudson, born on June 28, 1900, and Daniel Sammis, Jr., born on April 4, 1902, both in Brookline. His address is Redding Ridge, Connecticut. Arthur Scranton Arthur Scranton was for a number of years assistant superintendent of the Bessemer Steel Works, Scranton, D7o] BIOGRAPHIES Pennsylvania. Resigning his position, he spent several years in Europe, and is now connected with the Lackawanna Steel Company, Buffalo, New York. He married Mary D.

Evarts Scudder was born in Charles Locke Scudder Boston on January 2, 1832, and was educated at the Rox- bury Latin School, Williams College, and Andover Theo- [370 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 logical Seminary. He became a Congregational clergyman, and was settled in Kent, Connecticut, and in Great Barring- ton, Massachusetts. His family was of English origin, hav- ing come to this country in 1635 and settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Sarah P. Lamson, Scudder's mother, was born November 24, 1840, at Derry, New Hampshire, and is still living. Scudder was born August 7, i860, at Kent, Connecticut, and passed his early life at Kent and at Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He entered Williston Seminary in 1877, being graduated in 1878, and then entered '82 in the autumn of that year. During the first year he roomed alone in Crown Street in the house of Dr. Leonard J. Sanford. In sophomore year he roomed with Smith in Old Chapel, and in junior and senior years with Morris in Farnam. Scudder trained for and participated in the quarter-mile race, receiving first prize in the college games. He was a class deacon and a member of Kappa Sigma Epsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon. After graduating he took a course in chemistry and biol- ogy under Professor Chittenden in the Sheffield Scientific School, preparatory to the study of medicine. He received the degree of Ph.B. in 1883. Thereafter he attended the Harvard Medical School, from which he was graduated with the degree of M.D. in 1888. Immediately after leav- ing the Medical School he served as house surgeon at the Boston Children's Hospital, and then as surgical house officer at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Since graduating at the Medical School and the hospitals he has lived in Boston, where he has practised as a surgeon. Soon after beginning private practice, in 1891, he was ap- pointed surgeon to the out-patient department of the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, and in 1903 he received the appointment of attending surgeon to that institution, one of the most coveted positions in surgery in New England.

Seelye, the daughter of L. Clarke Seelye, president of Smith College. They have two chil- dren; one boy, Kvarts, born September 5, 1896, and one girl, Hilda Chapin, born February 7, 1899. Kvarts, the son, enters the Hill School at Pottstown, Pennsylvania, in the fall of 1 9 10, and hopes to enter Yale with the class of 1 9 1 8 . Scudder has recently built a new house in Boston, arrang- ing it for satisfactory surgical offices. His address is 209 Beacon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. D73] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Caleb Wright Shipley is the son of Murray Shipley and Hannah Davis (Taylor) Shipley. Both were of English origin, but Mrs. Shipley had an admixture of Welsh blood Caleb Wright Shipley in her veins. The Shipleys came from Uttoxeter, England, about 1780 and settled in New York. Shipley's grandpa- rents were Morris Shipley of Uttoxeter and Sarah Shotwell of Rahway, New Jersey. His father was born on March 1, 1830, in New York City, was educated at St. Xavier's College, Cincinnati, was a wholesale merchant, a manufac- turer, and a minister of the Society of Friends, and died in Cincinnati on January 20, 1899. His mother was born on September 21, 1831, in Cincinnati, and died there on No- vember 19, 1 87 1. The grandparents on the mother's side were Caleb Wright Taylor and Mary Jordan Davis. The C3743 BIOGRAPHIES Taylor ancestors came from England in the early part of the seventeenth century to settle in Virginia. Shipley was born on August 31, 1 86 1 , in Cincinnati, Ohio, and spent his early days there and in Kendal, England. For one year he attended the Friends' School in Kendal, and was graduated from Chickering's Institute in June, 1878. He entered with the class at the customary time, and roomed with Sweetser during the last three years of the course, after rooming alone during freshman year. He was captain of Dunham for several years, and participated in other forms of athletics. In 1881 he was a substitute on the Varsity foot- ball team. Kappa Sigma Epsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon were his societies. From 1882 to 1885 he was in the dry-goods business with Shipley, Doisy & Company of Cincinnati. In May, 1887, he joined Sechler & Company, Incorporated, wholesale car- riage-builders, 544 East Fifth Street, Cincinnati, and is now president as well as director in the company. He is an Epis- copalian, and a vestryman and treasurer of his church. He is a trustee of the Children's Home, a director of the Lodge & Shipley M. T. Company, of the Queen City Warehouse Company, and of the Highland Carriage Company; and is a member of the Queen City Club, the Cincinnati Golf Club, the University Club, the Country Club, and the Riding Club of Cincinnati.

Goshorn, an uncle of Mrs. Shipley, was a graduate of Marietta College (Ohio), and later di- rector of the Philadelphia ('76) Centennial Exposition. The Shipley children are two : Marguerita, born on June 13, 1888, and Alfreda, born on August 27, 1893, both in Cin- cinnati. Marguerita was graduated in 19 10 at Bryn Mawr. [375] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 She prepared at the Collins Doherty School in Cincinnati and the Misses Shipley's in Bryn Mawr. His business address is 538-544 East Fifth Street, and his residence is 356 Resor Avenue, Clifton, Cincinnati, Ohio. * Levi Ives Shoemaker was the son of Lazarus Denison Shoemaker and Esther Wallace (Wadhams) Shoemaker. Shoemaker's father was a graduate of Yale in the class of Levi Ives Shoemaker 1840, and there have been a number of ancestors or kinsmen who have received baccalaureate degrees. Some of them are: uncle, Charles Denison Shoemaker, Yale 1876; cousin, Robert Charles Shoemaker, Yale 1885; great-grandfather, Noah Wadhams, Princeton 1754, Yale M.A.; uncle, Calvin D763 BIOGRAPHIES Wadhams, Princeton 1854; cousin, Dr. R. L. Wadhams, Princeton 1895; cousin, Samuel Wadhams, Dartmouth 1875; cousin, Moses Wadhams, Dartmouth 1880; cousin, Ralph Wadhams, Amherst 1889. The Shoemakers were Dutch, having come over from Holland in 1660. Shoemaker's grandfather, Elijah Shoe- maker, married Elizabeth Denison of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Lazarus Denison Shoemaker, their son, re- ceived the degree of M.A., studied law, and became an attorney in Wilkes-Barre. He was born on November 5, 1 8 19, at Forty Fort, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and died on September 10, 1893, in Wilkes-Barre. Shoemaker's mother was the daughter of Samuel Wadhams and Clorinda Starr Catlin of Plymouth, Pennsylvania. She was born on December 13, 1826, in Plymouth, and died in Wilkes-Barre on August 4, 1889. Her ancestors came from England and settled in Wethersfield, Connecticut. Shoemaker was born on September 28, 1859, in Wilkes- Barre, where his early years were spent in private schools, and on January 1, 1877, he entered the Hopkins Grammar School, from which he was graduated in 1878. He roomed with Parke in freshman year, in sophomore year alone in West Divinity, and as a junior and senior in Farnam with J. F. Allen. In senior year he was president of the Hare and Hounds Club, and at graduation was on the senior promenade committee. He was a member of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and a graduate member of Wolf's Head. Medicine attracted him, and he received an M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1886, and he attained no little distinction in his profession. He was a surgeon on the staff of the Wilkes-Barre City Hospital, consulting surgeon of the Mercy Hospital, physician for the Home for Friend- less Children and the United Charities in Wilkes-Barre, trustee of the State Hospital for the Insane at Danville, [377] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Pennsylvania, surgeon for the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Central Railroad of New Jersey, examiner for the Mutual Life Insurance Company and the Security Mutual Life Insurance Company of Binghamton and the Bankers' Life Insurance Company, a director of the Second National Bank and of the Wilkes-Barre Lace Manufacturing Com- pany, and a member of the Westmoreland Club, the Wyo- ming Valley Country Club, the Wyoming Historical and Genealogical Society, the Luzerne County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, the American Medi- cal Association, and the American Academy of Medicine. He was a Republican. His European travel included three trips, in 1876, 1902, and 1909. On November 27, 1889, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he married the sister of his classmate, Cornelia W. Scranton, daughter of Joseph H. Scranton and Cornelia Walker. In the summer of 1909 Shoemaker traveled extensively in Europe with his wife and sister, and about the middle of September went to Bad Nauheim to try the baths. He died there September 27 from an acute attack of the heart trouble from which he had suffered for several years, a disease that he had known to be incurable from the beginning. Its progress had compelled his gradual retire- ment from the practice of his profession at a time when a more than local success and reputation were assured. He was enthusiastic in his work, intensely ambitious, and was making good in the largest sense. Few even of those who knew him well realized how bitter the disappointment was. To such as understood and watched the course of events, he gave a most wonderful exhibition of pluck and courage in a fight against overwhelming odds. He never complained or whimpered. Always a manly man, he was never more so than in these last years. He was a fellow of earnest con- victions, wide in his sympathies, lovable and loyal to his friends. One who knew him intimately from prep-school D78H BIOGRAPHIES days till the end can truthfully say he never heard him speak a cruel or even unkind word of any one. To him the loss of the success in his grasp seemed failure. Those who watched the way in which he played out as hard a game as can come to a man, how sweetly he accepted the inevitable and simply did the best he could as long as he could, felt it the most glorious success that could be achieved. He was a man who could ill be spared, and his going leaves a gap that for many can never be filled. * Charles Mather Sholes was the son of Charles H. Sholes and Emilie (Mather) Sholes. He was born in Bos- Charles Mather Sholes ton, Massachusetts, on March 6, 1859, and prepared for college at Andover, Massachusetts. He joined our class in L379] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 sophomore year, being then a resident of Newport, New Hampshire. He roomed his first year on Chapel Street and during junior and senior years with M. S. Allen in Durfee. He was a member of the junior promenade committee. After graduation he settled in business in Oswego, Kan- sas, where he was a loan broker and notary public, and also a director in the First National Bank. On December 25, 1884, he married Anna Electa Tucker, and they had two sons, Hiram 2d, born on October 3, 1885, and William Mather, born on June 1, 1888. He died on August 7, 1889, at Oswego, from heart disease. This was brought on just after he left college, when he, with a friend, tramped through the White Mountains. Although he did not join the class until the beginning of sophomore year, he at once took a prominent place, and was held in the very highest regard by all. Edward Vernon Silver and Lewis Mann Silver are the twin sons of Charles Alexander Silver and Helen Lydia ( Mann ) Silver. Charles Alexander Silver is a Brooklyn busi- ness man, the son of Alexander Simpson Silver and Jemima Peterson of Norwich, Vermont. The Silvers were originally Scotch, and came to this country to settle in Norwich. Our classmates' father was born there on August 21, 1821, was graduated from Norwich University with the degree of A.B. in 1 841, and has lived in Brooklyn since, as a merchant from 1 841 to 1865, and a real estate operator and builder from 1865 to the present time. His wife was born in Or- ford, New Hampshire, on October 28, 1823, the daughter of Nathaniel Mann and Mary Mason of Orford. The Mann ancestors came from Kent County, England, in 1634, and settled in Scituate, Massachusetts. Both the Silver and Mann family trees are full of ancestors with college edu- [3803 BIOGRAPHIES cations. A list of them would include the following: Rev. Samuel Mann, Harvard 1665; Rev. Cyrus Mann, Dart- mouth [806, great-uncle; Rev. Joel Mann, Dartmouth Edward Vernon Silver [810, great-uncle; lewis Mann, Dartmouth 1830, uncle; Charles A. Silver, Norwich University 1841, father; George Wilcox, Dartmouth i860, cousin; Leonard Wilcox, Dart- mouth 1863, cousin; Henry Mann Silver, Dartmouth 1872, brother; Herbert Wilcox, Yale 1898, cousin; Edward Hitchcock, Amherst 1899, cousin. Edward Silver was born on July 24, i860, in Brooklyn, New York. From 1869 to 1872 he attended the Juvenile High School, and from 1872 to 1875 the Polytechnic Insti- tute. For two years thereafter he was at St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont, and for one year at Phillips Andover, and entered Yale with us in September, 1878. He roomed r.3813 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 with his brother, on Chapel Street during freshman year, on Library Street during sophomore year, and in Farnam in junior and senior years. After graduation he entered Sheffield Scientific School, where he studied chemistry and kindred subjects for one year. In the fall of 1883 he entered the College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, New York City, and was graduated with the class of '85. After spending two years in Roose- velt Hospital, he went to Vienna, where he studied for one year. Returning to New York, he engaged in general prac- tice and in hospital work. In 1891 he removed to Salt Lake City, where he has since resided. He writes : "The beautiful location of this city, the broadstreets and the lofty mountains round about, appealed to me so strongly that I decided to remain and build up a practice in the Mormon capital. Murphy was then living here. During the eighteen years' residence here I have not once regretted my choice of this Western home. My professional duties have not been allowed to absorb all of my time. Church and Sunday- school work have been given all of the time I could spare. This has not been difficult, as I have no office hours on Sun- day. As an elder in the Third Presbyterian Church and superintendent of the Sunday-school, and, later, elder in the First Presbyterian Church and superintendent of the Sunday- school, I have had a diversion from professional duties and cares which has proven very helpful. As president of the Young Men's Christian Association for a number of years, I have been able to help a work which appeals to me very strongly." Silver was a member of the Salt Lake City Board of Health from 1894 to 1896 inclusive, and is a visiting physi- cian to St. Mark's Hospital. He is also an examiner for the following insurance companies: the New York Life, the Home Life, the Washington Life, the Equitable Life, the Mutual Life, and the Union Mutual Life. BIOGRAPHIES On April 3, 1901, in Salt Lake City, he married Bessie Larsen, daughter of O. and Martha Larsen.

His business address is 9 and 10 Mercantile Block, and his residence is 902 East Second South Street, Salt Lake City, Utah. Lewis Mann Silver and Edward Vernon Silver are the twin sons of Charles Alexander Silver and Helen Lydia Lewis Mann Silver (Mann) Silver. For the antecedents of the former, see the biography of his brother Edward Silver, next preceding. C3833 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 Lewis Silver was born in Brooklyn on July 24, i860, and, like his twin brother, attended the Juvenile High School till 1873, and the Polytechnic Institute from 1873 to 1875. He then, still with his brother, went to St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont for two years, and afterward to Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. He entered Yale at the usual time, and roomed with his brother, as stated in our sketch of Edward. Having determined during his senior year to enter upon the study and practice of medicine, he matriculated at Belle- vue Medical College in New York City, and was graduated in March, 1885. After passing eighteen months in Bellevue Hospital he studied abroad in various cities and for six months was intern in the Frauenklinik, Munich, Germany, and then settled in New York, where he has since practised his profession. In 1889 he received an appointment as assistant demonstrator of anatomy in Bellevue Medical Col- lege. This he held until 1894. In 1891 he received ap- pointments as attending physician to the Demilt Dispensary, department of general medicine, and as attending physician to the Vanderbilt Clinic, department of children, which positions he still holds. "For the past five years," he writes, referring to the inter- val since the publication of our twenty-year book, "nothing very eventful has happened, and I have lived the even tenor of my way. Have enjoyed excellent health, which is something to be thankful for. In the summer of 1905 I took an extended trip through the West and along the Pa- cific coast and Alaska. Met Yale men all the way from the summits of White Pass, Alaska, to Los Angeles, California, and all glad to see some Yale friend from the East. At Seattle had a pleasant three days' visit with Clarence Smith at his summer home on Lake Washington. At Portland I called on Jefferds and found him but little changed, busy attending to the sick and afflicted. At Los Angeles I called 1:3843 BIOGRAPHIES on Richards, but did not find him at home. The trip ended with a pleasant visit with my brother at Salt Lake." Silver is a Republican politically, and an elder in the Rut- gers Presbyterian Church of New York City. He has written several professional articles for the Archives of Pediatrics.

The Smiths came from England early in the history of this country and settled in Milford, Connecticut. They were farmers mostly, and such was William Smith of Washington, Connecticut, who married Julia Stone of Middlebury, and became the grandfather of our classmate. His son, our classmate's father, was a manu- facturer, of Derby, Connecticut, who was born on June 24, 1827, at Washington, and died in Seattle on May 2, 1902.

He writes: "After my return to Seattle in 1902 I was active in agi- tating the establishing of a medical library. As a feature of this work, with the aid of another physician, I began publish- ing a medical journal, Northwest Medicine, of which I have been editor-in-chief. In the summer of 1909 it was adopted as the official journal of the State Medical Associations of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. It was doubled in size and is now accepted by the medical profession as the estab- lished and recognized organ of the profession of the Pacific Northwest. I was elected editor-in-chief of the new journal." Besides articles for his own magazine, Smith has pub- lished "A Study of Uretero-Cystostomy" in the American Journal of Obstetrics (1901), and "Cancer in the District of Columbia for Twenty Years" in American Medicine (February, 1902).

Henry Speke Snyder is the son of Jesse Snyder and Eliza- beth (Glenn) Snyder. He is German on his father's side Henry Speke Snyder and Scotch on his mother's. His father was a Philadelphia teamster and farm-hand. His mother died in Williamsburg, Massachusetts, in 1895. C39o] BIOGRAPHIES Snyder was born in Philadelphia on October 9, [852. He lived in Mechanicsville, Tacony, Holmesburg, Huntingdon Valley, Readingville, Somerton, Millersville, and several other towns in Pennsylvania. "Like gipsies, we moved about every two years," he writes. "From four years of age until eleven years I attended fourteen different public schools. At eleven years I was bound out to a farmer for my 'victuals and clothes' until I was sixteen years of age. On the farm I studied alone at nights." He was graduated from the Millersville State Normal School, and taught there for four years. Entering college with the class, he kept house with his aged mother and supported her during the four years of his course. He took a sophomore prize in English composition, and a junior prize in speaking. He was graduated from the Yale Theological School and ordained in the ministry in 1885, and has been a Congrega- tional clergyman since that time. He writes: ''After graduation I took a parish at Northford, Connec- ticut, and also took a post-graduate course of one year in the Theological Seminary. I was called from Northford, in 1888, to Williamsburg, Massachusetts. There I remained nine years. From there I went to Weymouth, Massachu- setts, and served for four years. Then I stopped a year for rest from labor, but I supplied several pulpits in this State during that time. I preached on the island of Nantucket for three months during the summer vacation. After about seven years' service at Gilbertville, Massachusetts, I am entering upon the second year of my ministry at Chicopee, Massachusetts. "I delight in the work I have chosen. I should select the same profession if I had the privilege of choosing a second time. The gospel is to me 'the power of God unto salva- tion.' I think I get more good from it than my hearers do.

He was a member of Psi Upsilon and of the Yale University Club. Vought was in the banking business for twenty years. Fie writes : "From graduation to 1884 I was not actively engaged in business. After the death of my father, in 1882, I was con- nected with the Anchor Line Transit Company of Philadel- phia and Buffalo for one year. Then I became connected with the Manufacturers' and Traders' Bank of Buffalo as corresponding clerk. I remained with them in various ca- pacities for twenty years, finally ending as manager of the safe-deposit department. I resigned from that position in March, 1906. From March, 1906, to November, 1906, I tried to be a gentleman farmer on my place in East Aurora, with some degree of success. November, 1906, I went to Spring Hope, North Carolina, for the Montgomery Lum- ber Company of Buffalo, and stayed there until January, 1907, when I went to Suffolk, Virginia, for the same com- pany. The F. F. V.'s and the climate proved my undoing, and I came back to East Aurora in March, 1907, with a few relics of the climate in the way of a cough, bronchitis, etc. March 25 I went with J. R. Heintz & Company, stock- brokers of Buffalo, and was with them until July 1, 1909. [402] BIOGRAPHIES Since then I have associated myself with my brother, J. H. Vought, Shell. 1893, in the manufacture and sale of the best shaking and dumping grate-bar on the market. It 's a dandy! My life for twenty-five years has been even and uneventful — no great successes; above all, no great sorrows, and not enough disappointments to hurt any one. I am scratching along, trying to be as good as I know how, with a good wife, three good boys, a contented spirit, and a hope that I shall be able to do my duty in that state of life to which it has pleased God to call me."

Patterson felt the call of religious work, affiliated with the Salvation Army, and later became a minister of the gospel. Thus left alone, Waller wandered to Kansas, where he became associated with our classmate Sholes in the lumber business; but his eyes were fixed on the still farther West, and he moved to San Francisco. Wan- derlust claimed him, and feeling the call of the sea, he in- dulged in a whaling voyage of eight months up to and beyond Alaska.

In 1894 the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company absorbed the Silver Creek & Morris Coal Company. Weed thereupon moved to Cali- fornia, where he purchased a ranch at Gardena, then eight miles south, but now included in the boundaries of Los Angeles City. His land has irrigation rights and is highly productive and of large present and larger prospective value, walnuts and alfalfa being his crop.

Later he was elected treasurer and fourth vice-president. In April, 1906, on account of continued ill health, he resigned, and, taking his family with him, left for Europe. From Venice he wrote in 1907 : "We expect to return to the United States in August. I plan then to go to the Pacific slope, where the climate will be more beneficial than that of New York." On return- ing to this country, however, he changed his plans, and he is now living in Hartford, Connecticut, where he is vice-presi- HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 dent and director of the Connecticut River Banking Com- pany. He is also treasurer and director of the Dwight Slate Machine Company of Hartford.

Wells' mother was born in Fay- etteville, New York, on October 14, 1829, the daughter of David Collin of Fayetteville and Anna Smith of Hillsdale, Dutchess County, New York. The mother's family was of French Huguenot extraction and came from France in 1680 to settle in New London, Connecticut. Wells had the fol- lowing kinsmen who were graduated from college : brothers : BIOGRAPHIES D. Collin Wells, Vale 1880; P. I. Wells, Yale [885; sister: Anna S. Wells, Smith 1893; cousins: Sylvester Gardner, I [amilton 1871 ; Collin Armstrong, Amherst [873; Roswell John Lewis Wells Collin, Williams 1872; William Gardner, Trinity 1885; second cousins (father's side) : John Williams, Amherst 1884; Talcott Williams, Amherst 1872; Frederick Wil- liams, Yale 1879; Fred Williams, Amherst 1893; second cousins (mother's side): Charles A. Collin, Yale 1866; W. W. Collin, Yale 1876; Frederick Collin, Yale 1872; Henry Collin, Yale 1870; Frank Collin, Yale Sheff. 1881.

In sophomore and junior years he was with Johnson in West Divinity and Farnam, and in senior year in Farnam with McMillan. He took sev- eral Greek and Latin prizes while he was an undergraduate, and was a member of Delta Kappa, Eta Phi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. After graduation he entered the Yale Law School, but in 1883 he went to South Dakota and was president of a bank at Ipswich until 1887, when he moved to Kansas City. There, he says, he "answered the only question ever asked me in a bar examination," and was admitted. Later he returned to South Dakota, and practised in Ipswich from 1888 to 1895. "Law practice in South Dakota," he writes, "was active but not profitable. Years of drought wiped out land values, and a fire burned up the town. I had been elected county judge by the Pops and Democrats, but the Republican auditor held the keys of the ballot-boxes, and on a recount I was not elected. As he was a Republican, and therefore incapable of wrong, I suppose the ballots changed their own markings. The combination of apparent misfor- tunes hastened our return to New York. Here the law en- ables us to own a little farm of woods and hills on Long Island, where we enjoy the summer. My present firm is Collin, Wells & Hughes, a very congenial combination. We are neither rich nor poor, but we enjoy our friends and envy none." Wells' New York life dates from 1895. He is a mem- ber of the University, Brooklyn, Yale, and Lawyers' clubs, and is a Presbyterian. On November 12, 1884, in Freeport, Illinois, he married Eleanore B. Fitch, daughter of Edward C. Fitch and Mar- garet Bonner. Mrs. Wells' parents moved to Freeport from Columbia County, New York, in 1850, and her more remote ancestors came from Scotch and English families whose representatives came to this country two hundred BIOGRAPHIES years ago. They have one child, Marguerite F., horn on Septemher 30, 1885, in Ipswich, South Dakota. She was prepared for college in Adelphi, in Brooklyn, and was grad- uated in 1 9(36. His business address is 5 Nassau Street, New York City, and his residence is Xorthport, Long Island. ♦Thomas McDonnell Wentworth died at his home in Racine, Wisconsin, April 30, 1882. He had battled with ill health all through his college course, and had reached the Thomas McDonnell Wentworth middle of senior year before he was compelled to give up the struggle. The degree which he had made such a noble effort to obtain, but which he did not live to receive himself, was sent to his family after his death. C417J HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 * Joseph Ernest Whitney, son of Joseph L. Whitney, was born in Cornwall, Connecticut, on February 17, 1858.

He was called thence in the summer of 1884 to Yale College as instructor in English, and remained there [418:1 BIOGRAPHIES until December, 1888, when he went to Colorado on ac- count of his health, which had begun to fail the previous year. He lived in Colorado Springs in increasing feebleness for over four years, and died there from hemorrhage of the lungs on February 25, 1893, at the age of thirty-five. His literary tastes were prominent in undergraduate days, and in spite of years of weakness he was able to do much work of high order in poetry and criticism; while by his courage and sweetness of spirit he won the deepest regard. He was a contributor to the Century, the American Magazine, St. Nicholas > Harper's Young People, Wide Awake, the Critic, the New Enghnulcr, and many other periodicals. On November 15, 1883, he married Sadie Prince Turner of New Haven, at Syracuse, New York. They had one child, Margaret, born April 13, 1886. During the last four years of his life, under infirmities of body to which most men would have succumbed in absolute idleness, he kept on heroically at his literary work, and the poems he wrote then, as well as the unfailing brightness of his conversation and his letters, have been, for many, an inspiration to better living. His struggle with disease did not make him bitter, and his cheerfulness and wit never deserted him. He interested himself in social betterment, and a Boys' Club, named after him, still exists in Colorado Springs, as a memorial. But more enduring than any such institution is the memorial which lives in the hearts of the many, East and West, who came under the influence of his rich and ever ripening per- sonality.

He fitted in the public schools of Northampton, with the exception of two years, when he studied with a private tutor. He roomed alone during freshman year, and with Richardson the other three. "Rowed some on class crew," he writes, "but never in a race. Wanted to play first base on class nine, but Sam Hop- kins entered our class, and so I had no show.

The depth of his inner life was hidden under an easy grace of manner. No one was more free from cant, more straightforward in speech, nor more ready with the tactful, kindly word in season.

Afterward he moved to Chicago, whither his inclinations had always led him. He writes : "I have traveled North and South between the two great oceans, and I have crossed them. I have regained my health long since, and I have worked at my chosen profession with diligence and with such success as my friends shall judge. My travels have made me contented, my work has made me happy. This I have achieved, and, according to my philos- ophy, if I shall thus continue to the end of the book, broad- ening as I progress, I shall not regret that I have no more to say about the present chapter."

Bishop was born in New Brunswick on September 17, i860, but in early youth went abroad and attended several German schools and one French one. Later he returned to this country and was entered at St. Paul's at Concord, New Hampshire, to prepare for college. He was graduated in 1879 and entered '82 at the beginning of sophomore year. Bishop was interested in indoor gymnastics and took a prize for work on the horizontal bar in the winter meeting of 1 88 1. He was on the staff of the Courant and belonged to Psi Upsilon. At the end of junior year he left college, en- tered Harvard, and was graduated in the class of '82. Since graduation he has been engaged in school teaching and management. For the first year he was at St. Paul's School. In 1883 he accepted a position in the New Jersey State Bureau of Statistics at Trenton. This occupied him for a year, until Dr. McCosh persuaded him to take hold of the defunct Princeton Preparatory School, with a view to its resuscitation. The trustees deeded the school property to him, and he was very successful in reviving the institu- tion. Finally, when the management of it became too bur- densome, he sold his title and good-will and bought a half- share in an established day-school in Cincinnati. Thither he moved in 1888. From 1895 to 1904 he was principal of the Walnut Hills High School. The University of Cincin- nati conferred a Ph.D. on him in 1904. Since that time he has been at the head of the Eastern High School in Detroit. He has edited a book called "Ovid for Sight Reading" and has written numerous articles for the School Review and the National Education Association reports. He is chief editor of an edition of Cicero's Orations for schools, now in the press of the American Book Company.

He was also "a railway contractor, a coal-dealer, a lumber-manufacturer, a wholesale grocer, and a David Harum in a hoss-trade." Griggs was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on February 19, i860, lived in Ledyard, Connecticut, his mother's old fam- ily home, during the war, then in Chaska, Minnesota, from C4S83 FORMER MEMBERS 1864 to 1S69, attending the Moravian School for the last three of those years, and then in St. Paul from 1 870 to 1 878, attending the public schools and the high school.

Since graduation he has been in the wholesale grocery business in St. Paul, being a member of the firm of Griggs, Cooper & Company. He w r rites : "The first thing of note which happened to me after leav- ing '82 was to get well enough to go back and graduate with the next best class, '83. "Since then I have endeavored to put in as little time for as big pay as possible in the grocery business, and as much time for as little pay as possible in out-of-door pursuits. Fresh-water sailing, wild-fowl and upland shooting, a little golf and very poor, the American trotting horse and Eng- lish setter dog have each had their time in my enthusiasm, and the horse has not yet been superseded by the automo- bile, but I fancy it will, if the Good Roads Commission in this State accomplishes its object." Griggs has also been vice-president of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society for the last five years, and head of the amusement and speed departments — "positively the greatest outdoor show on earth," he writes. He is trustee [459] HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF YALE '82 and chairman of the music committee of the Park Congre- gational Church of St. Paul, and u a Republicanized Demo- crat."

They were joined to us by the close ties which four years of college life together had woven about us, and in the intimacy of that life, and in the years which have passed since then, we found them to be true men and sincere, sympathetic, and steadfast friends. In the outside world their fine personal qualities, their upright lives, and the services which they rendered to their friends and to the public won them respect and esteem, and the communi- ties in which they lived mourn with us over their decease.
