Harvard College Class Of 1882 Secretarys Report 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from Harvard College Class of 1880: Secretary's Report, No; II. Commencement 1888 To The Class of Eighty: - In preparing this report I have, as a rule, let each man speak for himself, so that the information given is absolutely reliable. In a very few instances I have added facts which the writer has neglected to mention, and on the other hand I have omitted considerable matter which seemed inappropriate; for instance, statements of salaries, hopes for the future, engagements, and most of the humor inspired by question number two. The office of editor has been more difficult than I anticipated, and frequently I have been perplexed in the extreme to know whether I should offend more by omitting or by inserting. Will you all kindly remember that in so large a class there is great variety of taste. I make no apology, however, for giving so much space to Bradley and Geddes: I fear rather that I shall be blamed for not giving more. There are few innovations in this report. Seventy-seven printed a picture of their baby, and Seventy-nine of their window. Much of the matter in the Appendix has rarely been given, however, and not, I think, in any recent report. The Class Directory is a novelty which will, I hope, prove useful. The names of a few men who were always identified with the Class of Seventy-nine have been omitted, by request, from the body of this report, and also the name of one classmate.
