Harvard College Class Of 1865 PDF Download

Excerpt from Harvard College Class of 1865: Secretary's Report No; 11, 1907 to 1921 Classmates: Our devoted Secretary, George A. Goddard, intended to issue a Class Report in 1915, on our fiftieth anniversary, in accordance with the time-honored custom, but his failing health prevented him from completing the task. As our last Report was issued in 1907, many members of the Class have been very anxious that the new Secretary should issue one more Report. Since 1907 more than fifty of our classmates have died, and as it would be necessary to prepare memorials of each of these, the magnitude of the task can be appreciated. With the help of the Class Committee and others this has at last been accomplished, although some of the memorials are not as complete as we should like to have had them, and your indulgence is asked for any shortcomings or errors. During the past year much time has been devoted to the Harvard Endowment Fund, and it is gratifying to be able to state that our class is one of the eight classes that have obtained one hundred percent, in enrolment, and that there are only four classes older than ours that have contributed a larger amount than we have. To recall the memories of the past, we have reprinted the Class Ode and Class Song, and extracts from the Oration and Poem.
