Harvard College Class Of 1872 Eighth Report Of The Secretary 1898 1902 PDF Download

Excerpt from Harvard College, Class of 1872: Ninth Report of the Secretary, 1902-1912 Classmates: - Ten years have passed since the eighth report was published, and for that reason if for no other this ninth report should prove of interest. Except in one or two instances it covers only the past decade, and to give it a more personal touch you were asked to write your reply to my circular in the form of a letter to your Secretary and only the points on which information was particularly desired were indicated. For its sins of omission you will know where to place the blame and for its sins of commission I must ask some indulgence on the ground that it has had to be prepared in the midst of my ordinary work with all its constant interruptions. The Class is "still achieving, still pursuing," but the mournful fact which stares us in the face is the sad depletion in our numbers; sixteen of the graduate members have left us, among them Mills with his hearty enthusiasm, and the twin Sherburnes with their tuneful voices, to all of whom I think we will agree we owe the success which has attended our annual dinners; of those temporarily with the Class at Cambridge, Switzer has gone, in whose renewed acquaintance we were rejoicing. There are still too many men from whom we do not hear, but we have discovered the whereabouts of Burry and Eldridge, formerly members, and William Wesley French has joined us again.
