Class Of 1903 Princeton University Five Year Record PDF Download

Excerpt from Class of 1903, Princeton University, Five Year Record This Quinquennial Record book is offered to the Class with many apologies on account of its incompleteness. The first notices were sent out last September with expectation that I would have enough material in the course of at least three months, but I found at the end of that time that about half the material was in my hands, making the many extra notices necessary. It was my intention to have each fellow write a letter for the book, but all my repeated coaxings, entreaties, etc., were alas in vain. To those fellows who did write letters for the book I wish to extend my congratulations as their efforts will help to make the record book infinitely more interesting than a mere compilation of names and addresses. Since graduation, the fellows in the Class have scattered to the four parts of the globe; some have gone out to foreign fields as missionaries; others as teachers, and still others as travellers. Among the professions, the study of law seemed to have had the greatest attraction, and as a result there are at present fifty of our Class who are young barristers practising throughout the United States, - the career of the lawyers is more particularly described in "Al" Smith's article on the Law. Those who studied medicine, though fewer in number than those who studied law, now hold responsible positions in the various hospitals of our cities, as you will learn by reading "Old Doctor" Mixsell's article on Medicine. The Class is also well represented in the clergy, there being nine men who are now ministers in charge of churches, and I am informed are all doing well, as you will see by the interesting article by Reverend Paul Stratton of Yonkers. The success of the fellows in politics is just as great as the unknown author of the article on politics would have you believe. As for diplomacy, Pax Hibben will tell you all about it in his article. The number of married men in the Class is increasing, and at this time, there are sixty-five men who are happily married. I call your attention to the pictures of some of our 1903 children, on another page of this book. They certainly are a fine looking group of youngsters and well might their parents be proud.
