Secretarys Report Vol 5 PDF Download

Excerpt from Secretary's Report, Vol. 5: Commencement, 1895 After saying to you in March that I was so busy that I did not see where I was to find time for this report, I sailed suddenly for Europe and did not return until the report was almost ready for the printers' hands. The accumulation of work lying in wait for me when I landed made it impossible to give much personal attention to the report, and for the first time I employed assistance. If I had not, it could not have been distributed at the triennial dinner, but would have been put forward until September. I regret sincerely one fault for which my absence is accountable. I had made no provision for memorial notices for some of our class mates who have died, and it was not possible to attend to this after my return. The notices will be prepared this summer and mailed to the class, and in the next class report they will be printed in full. For another defect in this report I will make no apology. There are over thirty graduate members of the class who have not been heard from, and I here pillory them as follows: Alley, Atwood, Benton, Blodgett, Brackett, Butler, Chapman, Cole, Ellis, Gooch, Griswold, A. L. Hall, Harrison, Henderson, Hibbard, Houston, Howe, Jordan, Kenneson, Learned, Lester, Morgan, Muzzey, O'callaghan, Parker, H. M. Perry, Pew, Sharp, Townsend, Trimble, Weld, Whitcomb, F. D. White. To each one of them three notices of this report have been mailed, March isth, April 1sth, and May 1sth, and I know no reason why the secretary should tease them further for what should interest them as much as him. If I had been at home, however, I should have obtained some word from most of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
