SUMMARY OF CLASS MEETINGS AND THE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1865 YALE COLLEGE 1865 1910 WHITEHEAD C. DUYCKINCK Class Secretary New York Press of Tobias A. Wright 1 9 1 o A-^i-^ t>8S PREFACE. My Dear Classmates: To write the records of the Class of 1865 was a task for which many members were better qualified than myself, but in accordance with the general desire of the Class I was chosen to undertake the work. Having carefully examined the material received and the matter I had already collected, I found great difficulty in making the proper selections as to what portions I should use. After much reflection and no little persevering labor I am now happy in being able to offer you as the result, this book, however imperfect it may be. May this story of our post-graduate lives, our surround- ings, our vicissitudes and our successes receive the approval of every man, and keep alive the recollections of those dear friends of our college days at Yale. Hoping that my labors have not been in vain and relying on your kindly consideration. I am, your Class Secretsry, Whitehead C. Duyckinck. May, 1910. CLASS COMMITTEE James E. Chandler. Whitehead C.

MEMBERS of the class present at the Commencement exercises of 1867 having selected McLean and Mar- tyn a committee to take charge of the Triennial proceedings, early in 1868 issued an invitation to all who had been connected with the class, to attend the Triennial Meeting to be held July 22, 1868. The New York City members at a later meeting added to the committee, Chandler, Ewell and Kimberly. FIRST MEETING. TRIENNIAL, JULY 22, 1868. In one of the recitation rooms of the Lyceum a business meeting was held at 11 A. M. There were present: Allen, Bacon, Barrows, Blanchard, Bronson, Brooks, E. W. Brown, H. A. Brown, J. C. Brown, Bushnell, Byington, Caskey, Chandler, Chapman, J.

Brown was elected chairman of the. meeting and to preside at the dinner. James E. Chandler was chosen Class Secretary and requested to prepare a History of the Class to be published and distributed among the members. Expenses of the meeting to be met by a tax levied on each of the Class. The report of the Committee of its action taken in ref- erence to the Silver Cup was then presented. They decided t> CLASS MEETINGS to give the cup to McCreary's boy, as Kitchel, whose boy was some six months older, declined to allow him to com- pete. The selection proved very satisfactory to McCreary. He sent the boy and his mother by steamer from San Fran- cisco to New York. But as both were very ill upon arrival, the physician forbade their going to New Haven. Allen Mc- Lean and Chandler were appointed a committee to receive the cup for the boy in his father's, absence. After deciding to hold the next reunion at Sexennial, the meeting adjourned to meet in the President's lecture room at 9 P. M. At 9 P. M. the Class reassembled and marched to the New Haven House. In addition to those present at the morn- ing session were Buell, Cooper, Dryden, Leonard, Man, Stim- son, Stowell, C. N. Taintor, H. E. Taintor, Thompson, Wen- ner, Wilson, Witter (56). Of the Non-Graduates, Bassett, Butler, Darrell, Davis. Grant, Hall, Hatch, Mead, N. E. Robinson, 9 ; total, 65. Allen McLean said grace and at 11 P. M. the dinner be- ing finished, Henry A. Brown, as President, announced the event of the evening. Hyde made "the presentation speech and Allen McLean accepted the cup on behalf of the McCrearys. The regular toasts were responded to by Keep, Norton, Mer- rill, C. E. Smith, Caskey, Shreve, Dryden, Drury, Kittredge, Stimson, Buell, Stocking, Leonard, Ewell and C. N. Taintor. For a full report of the speeches, see Class History of 1875. At five o'clock in the morning we marched to the Class Ivy and after singing the Ivy Song the Class parted. SECOND MEETING. SEXENNIAL, JULY 12, 1871. The Class met at 178 Lyceum at 11 A. M. Henry A. Brown called to the chair, Chandler acted as Secretary. There were present : CLASS MEETINGS I Barrows, Brooks, H. A. Brown, Buen, Byington, Caskey, Chandler, Chittenden, Churchill, Dickerman, Duyckinck, Gregory, Hyde, Ingersoll, Kimberly, Kittredge, Lockwood. A. McLean, Man, Newbold, Rogers, Scranton, Thompson, H. W. Warren and Woodworth, 25. Of the Non-Graduates, Hayden, S. McLean and Parsons, 3 ; total, 28. Sandy Buell was selected to preside at dinner. The usual tax to defray expenses was levied and the meeting adjourned to meet at the Tremont House, having resolved to have its next reunion at Decennial. All but Parsons attended the dinner. It was at this dinner that the episode occurred, in which the McLeans, Allen & Sam, became confused as to saying grace ; fortunately, the latter begged to be excused and the former invoked the blessing. While nearly all spoke during the evening, there were no formal toasts and all passed a pleasant night. In the early morning the Class went to the old college fence, corner Chapel and College Streets, where they sang '65's songs until 2.30, when they left the fence for some rest. We must rely only upon the slight data preserved among our memorabilia, as no records appear to have been kept of the meeting in 1875 by Chandler. Early in the spring of 1875 Chandler, as Class Secretary, called upon the members of '65, resident in New York City and vicinity, to meet at Delmonico's, April 1, 1875, previous to the regular meeting of the Yale Alumni Association, to consider all matters pertaining to our Decennial. This invitation brought together most all of the class living in and near New York. A committee was appointed to have entire charge of the affair, consisting of Barrows, Brooks. Brown (H. A.), Chandler, Merill, Newbold, Norton, Sage and Taintor (C. N.), with Duyckinck, Ingersoll and Man as a Special Committee having charge of the dinner; a Class Treasurer being required, Duyckinck was duly elected. 8 CLASS MEETINGS THIRD MEETING. THE DECENNIAL, JUNE 30, 1875. A business meeting was held at 174 Lyceum, and at 9 P. M. the Class enjoyed their dinner at Redcliff's, corner Chapel and Temple Streets ( former residence of Com. Foote) , Harry Brown presiding. Of the speeches and the happy hours spent that night we have no report. Forty-seven were present, viz.: Blanchard, Brown (H. A.), Brooks, Bissell, Byington, Burchard, Collin, Caskey, Chandler, Comstock, Con- verse,. Chittenden, Dalzell, Dickerman, Drury, Duyckinck, Ely, Ewell, Ford, Forrest, Gregory, Gilbert, Hyde, Isham, Kerr, Keep, Kittredge, Leonard, Man, Merrill, Norton, Newbold, Sage, Stires, Smith (C.E.), Smith (W. B.), Scranton, Sayles, Thompson, Taintor (H. E.), Wood, Wilson, Warren (W. L), Warren (H. W.), Wenner, Wilson (J. W.), Wood- ward. FOURTH MEETING. FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 30, 1880. Again we are without any special report. At noon a business meeting was held in Room E, Athe- neum, and at 8 P. M. we. met at Redcliff's to enjoy our din- ner, there being but twenty-three present, viz. : Brooks, Chan- dler, Chittenden, Converse, Dalzell, Duyckinck, Gregory, Hicks, Hyde, Isham, Kimberly, Lockwood, McLean, Man, Martyn, Merrill, Newbold, Payne, Scranton, Shreve, Taintor (H. E.), Warren (H. W.). Class Committee having charge of the meeting were Chan- dler, Duyckinck, Ingersoll and Man. FIFTH MEETING. TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 23, 1885. The business meeting having been called to order, in Room C, Cabinet Building, at 12 o'clock noon, Merrill was selected to preside, and Duyckinck to act as Secretary. CLASS MEETINGS » The following (14) being- present: Chittenden, Collin, Converse, Dickerman, Duyckinck, Ewell, Kerr, Kimberly, Leonard, Man, Merrill, Reeves, Stires and Wilson. The Class Committee were duly re-appointed, and Kim- berly added to same. Duyckinck, as Class Treasurer, offered his report, which was duly accepted, and the Treasurer was authorized to ex- pend such amount as was deemed necessary to prepare and print some record or later history of the Class. The following resolution was then carried: "That the Committee issue, as soon as possible, a Class "Letter or addenda to Class History — giving all possible in- "formation of each member up to date, and that each mem- "ber assist the Committee by advising all items of interest "pertaining to himself or any member of the Class, whether "in print or from personal knowledge." After discussing general matters pertaining to the Class and Class Supper, all details being left to the Committee to arrange, the meeting adjourned till evening. At the Alumni meeting, Merrill responded for the Class, and at the Alumni Dinner, Stimson represented us. At 8 P. M. the Class met on the old corner about the Col- lege fence and sang a few of '65 songs until 8.30, when we quietly marched to Mrs. Redcliffe's, to enjoy our Class Sup- per. There were present Budlong, Chandler, Cooper, Chitten- den, Collin, Converse, Dickerman, Drury, Duyckinck, Ewell, Forrest, Gregory, Keep, Kerr, Kimberly, Kittredge, Leonard, Lockwood, Man, Martyn, Merrill, Newbold, Reeves, Stim- son, Stires, Taintor (C. N.), Warren (H. W.) and Hill, in all 28 — Wilson having to return home before supper. Taintor occupied the Chair. Cooper invoked the blessing. Prof. Wheeler (having been invited) dropped in upon us; we were much gratified by his many kind words for his first class at Yale. We enjoyed each course, with now and then a Class song, till coffee was brought in. Taintor read telegrams from Scran- 10 CLASS MEETINGS ton and Wenner, then told us of those dear Classmates who had departed since our last meeting, and called upon Chandler to say a few words of his old room-mate, Sandy Buell (died Oct. 10, '80). Collin also described a visit upon him just before his death. Merrill, being called upon, eulogized Allen McLean (died April 21, '82), and was folowed by Ewell, Dickerman, Martyn, Converse and Taintor, with many kindly remarks. At the request of Budlong a committee of five were ap- pointed by the Chair to draft resolutions of sympathy to be sent to the families of those recently deceased. The Chair appointed Budlong, Martyn, Ewell, Newbold and Duyckinck. The Class then arose, and while standing sang McLean's '65 Alumni Song. Stimson was then requested to speak of Ben. Riggs (died Apr. 13, '83), and he told us of his last meeting him in Ger- many, and at whose request he baptized his two children there. He spoke of his many good qualities, and also mentioned that it was Riggs who designed the Class Stamp. Drury spoke of Tom Ingersoll, who died Feb. 7, '84. Kittredge was then called upon to honor the memory of Isham (died June 29, '84), and was followed by Dickerman and Keep, who added words of praise of him who was the last to leave us. Thus we honored the Five who had gone from our Class since our last reunion, and then we listened to Ewell in re- sponse to "the Class of '65." After these few speches, the meeting passed a vote of thanks to the Committee for their services in making this anniversary so pleasant and satisfactory. We then listened to the various experience of each one present, and as the hands of the clock pointed to 3 :4s, we rose from the table, and in a body visited our Class Ivy. After singing Harry Brown's Ivy Song, and with three rousing cheers for "Dear Old Sixty-five," we said good-bye to one an- other. CLASS MEETINGS 11 The. Committee appointed to draft resolutions of sympathy did so immediately, and forwarded them, duly engrossed, to the respective families July 6, 1885. On May 28, 1886, a complimentary dinner was given to Tod Ford at Delmonico's by those of the Class residing in New York and vicinity. There, were present Brooks, Bud- long, Chandler, Chittenden, Duyckinck, Drury, Gilbert, Ford, Kittredge, Lockwood, Man, Merrill, Newbold, Rogers, Stires, Taintor (C. N.), Wenner and Witter, 18. On Feby. 16, 1889, at the great dinner at Delmonico's, celebrating Yale's victories in athletics, our Class was repre- sented by Chandler, Chittenden, Brooks, Budlong, Drury, Duyckinck, Forrest, Man, Merrill, Taintor (C. N.), Sage, Scranton and Witter. SIXTH MEETING. THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 24, 1890. A business meeting was held in No. 174 Lyceum, at 12:30 P. M., there being present: Allen, Chapman, Converse, Dal- zell, Dickerman, Duyckinck, Ely, Ewell, Forrest, Hyde, Kim- berly, Kitchel, Leonard, Martyn, Merrill, Payne, Stires, Stocking, Taintor (H. E.), Warren (H. L), Wenner, Wilson and Wilson (J. A.), 23. Duyckinck called the meeting to order, and requested nominations for Chairman. Dalzell nom- inated Duyckinck, who, being elected, respectfully declined the honor, owing to necessity of reading sundry reports, and Ewell was chosen to preside, with Duyckinck to act as Sec- retary. The Treasurer's report was then read and adopted. It was decided, after some discussion, not to make an assessment, but to permit each member to give whatever amount he considered right. The Secretary then stated we. had the Class Cup in our possession, and read the following letters: 12 CLASS MEETINGS "June 19, 1890. Mr. Duyckinck : Dear Sir — On my return home I find your letters of May 12 and 22, also of June 16, and regret the delay in responding, but hope this will still reach you in time for the anniversary occasion. We hold and cherish this memento of our precious little grandson very dearly, and feel that we would like to keep it in our possession while we live, to be afterwards presented, through the Class of '65, to Yale College, as you suggest. We, therefore, send the cup to you with the request that it may be returned to us after this occasion, and with the assur- ance that it shall be presented to the college in the not far distant future. Respectfuly yours, James K. Sexton." "New York, June 27, '90. James K. Sexton, Esq., 449 Kemper Lane, Cincinnati, O. Dear Sir — Your favor of 19th and package by express I received with thanks just as I was about taking the train for New Haven. You can hardly imagine the pleasure your letter gave those members of the Class present at our twenty-fifth anniversary, who are only too willing to accede to your request that ulti- mately your promise shall be fulfilled, and that a permanent monument shall be established in the Yale Library to the mem- ory of one so dear to us all. We passed the loving cup to one another at our dinner, and drank from it with the sad memories of those years so long since. This cup made grateful by the joys it had given us that happy night so long ago, when all were so proud of this gift to our Class boy, but now sanctified by the deaths of father, CLASS MEETINGS 13 mother, our boy, and of Brown, who was presiding officer, and McLean, who received the cup in behalf of McCreary — all five had gone. With many thanks for your kindly appreciation in sending the cup in time for our meeting, and for your assurance that it shall be presented to Yale University, we returned it imme- diately after our dinner by Adams Express, but could not advise you before. Again thanking you, and wishing you many happy years to enjoy this token of our mutual affection, I am Yours, &c, W. C. Duyckinck, For the Class of 1865." The folowing letter was received later: "March 21, 1906. Mr. W. C. Duyckinck: . Dear Sir — As the daughter and sole heir of James K. Sexton, I take the liberty of replying to your communication of March 17th, addressed to my husband, Dr. Charles E. Cald- well. The Class cup in question is certainly in my possession, left to me by my mother, to whom it was given by my sister, Mrs. Henry C. McCreary, at her death. It has been a most precious and comforting memento to my parents for many years, and as the sole survivor of my entire family, it is now one of my most treasured keepsakes, bringing back as it does not only the happy days of my childhood, but also most vividly the dear baby. to whom it was presented — a child inexpress- ibly dear to me. I appreciate, however, your wish in the matter, and recognize your prior claim. May the Cup be to you what it has been to us, a link to the past. And may it still serve the Class of '65 for many years to come. Very truly yours, Augusta Sexton Caldwell." 14 CLASS MEETINGS Man offered the following resolution, which was unani- mously carried : Resolved, That there be appointed a Class Custodian of Records and Historian, whose duty it shall be to correspond with the members of the Class at stated periods, and to col- late and preserve the information so obtained. Resolved, That each member of the Class be, and he is, hereby requested to promptly reply to all communications from the Historian, and to furnish to him all matters of news which will be of interest to the Class concerning any of our class- mates, and all matters concerning himself and his doings. So that the Historian may have in his possession, at all times, all data necessary to give complete information to any inquiring classmate. Duyckinck being nominated, was duly elected as "Custo- dian of Class Records and Historian." A vote of thanks was given Duyckinck for his "Addition to Class History," just published, and for all his labors in behalf of the Class. After deciding that we should meet upon the steps of Osborne Hall at 8:15, to proceed to Class dinner, the meeting adjourned at 1 P. M. At the Alumni meeting held previous to the above, Merrill was called upon to respond for the Class, and at the Alumni dinner Dalzell responded for the Class of '65. At 8 130 P. M., leaving the steps of Osborne Hall, we pro- ceeded to Prokasky's restaurant, 72 Center Street, where we were to enjoy the dinner celebrating our twenty-fifth anni J versary. There were present: Allen, Barrows, Bronson, Chapman, Converse, Cooper, Dalzell, Dickerman, Duyckinck, Ely, Ewell, Forrest, Gregory, Hicks, Hyde, Kimberly, Kit- chel, Kittredge, Leonard, Lockwood, Man, Martyn, Merrill, Payne, Peck, Stires, Stocking, Taintor (C. N.), Taintor (H. E.), Warren (H. E.), Wilson, Woodworth, Hill, Parsons and Wilson (J. A.), Duyckinck, of '91, making in all thirty-seven to dine. CLASS MEETINGS 15 Dalzell, having been selected to preside, took the Chair, and requested Ewell to invoke the blessing. Then we proceeded to enjoy our dinner, with now and then a song, until the seventh course, when Dalzell, calling the attention of the Class, stated that we had with us to-night our Class Cup, which, having been filled with wine, each one was requested to take a draught from it, passing it on to his neighbor until every man had drank from this loving cup. So we passed it from one to another, with many kindly thoughts and wishes, and then continued our dinner and our songs until coffee was served. After Dalzell had expressed a few happy and appropriate thoughts he read letters and telegrams from several absent members of the Class. Man was called upon to honor the memory of his old roommate Newbold, and we all appreciated his remarks, while many others during the evening added words of praise of him who had so recently departed. After this each one made, a short speech, Dalzell affording all much pleasure in his kindly introductions, mingling the reminiscences of the past with the situations of the present. Before leaving the table Kittredge proposed a vote of thanks to the Committee, and Taintor (C. N.) a vote of thanks to Dalzell as Presiding Officer, both votes being duly carried. As we left our places at the table it was 3 145 A. M., but, owing to a severe thunder storm, we were unable to visit our Class Ivy, so decided to meet previous to our Alumni dinner and there sing our Ivy Song. So at 1 130 P. M. (Wednesday) some twenty of us who had remained over met at our corner of the library building and sang, not only Harry Brown's Ivy Song, but his Class song and Norton's song (Abschied). SEVENTH MEETING. THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 25, 1895. Owing to the change in the commencement exercises manv of us attended the Alumni meeting at Alumni Hall, at 9:30 A. M., to listen to the only speeches to be made in representa- 10 CLASS MEETINGS tion of the various classes. When our class was called upon, the Rev. H. A. Stimson delighted us with one of the best responses made at the meeting. At 12 noon the business meeting was held at 196 Old Chapel Building. Duyckinck, calling the meeting to order, requested nominations for Chairman, and C. E. Smith was duly elected. The Secretary called the roll, and the following answered to their names : Caskey, Chandler, Chapman, Chittenden, Col- lin, Converse, Cooper, Dickerman, Drury, Duyckinck, Gaines, Gregory, Kimberly, Leland, Leonard, Man, Martyn, Merrill, Scranton, Shreve, Smith (C. E.), Smith (C. H.), Stimson, Warren, (H. W.) and Witter — 25. Allen, though present at the Alumni meeting, did not join us. The Secretary read his financial report, which was duly accepted. Owing to a deficit in the Class Treasury, Chittenden and Man were appointed by the Chair to collect subscriptions and pay same to the Secretary for class expenses. Learning of the recent affliction of our classmate, Rev. Thos. J. Brown, Collin and Gaines were appointed a com- mittee to prepare and mail a letter expressing the sympathy of the Class for him and his family. Upon motion Chandler, Kimberly and Man were again elected upon the Class Committee with Duyckinck. Dickerman proposed a vote of thanks to Duyckinck for having filled the position of Class Secretary so faithfully and acceptably to all. Witter seconded the motion, which was duly carried. A general desire being expressed that the Class should attend the Yale-Harvard ball game, Kimberly was appointed to arrange matters and report soon as practicable. Witter was elected to preside at the Class dinner, and after a general exchange of greetings the meeting adjourned at 1:15 P. M. Leaving the meeting, we met Kimberly, who reported that he had secured the necessary reserved seats at the "Field" CLASS MEETINGS 17 and that the. elegant private car of the president of the road would be at our disposal all the afternoon. At 2 :3c) P. M. we all met at the corner of York and Chapel streets, boarded the car, and with a '65 banner flying (thanks to Chittenden), went to the game, where we witnessed another Yale victory. Leaving the "Field," we found our private car waiting to take us back to the New Haven House. At 7:30 P. M. we assembled in front of Osborne Hall, where we welcomed many late arrivals and sang the songs of '65 until 8 P. M., when we marched two by two to "Flemings." There were present : Barrows, Caskey, Chandler, Chap- man, Chittenden, Collin, Converse, Cooper, Dickerman, Drury, Duyckinck, Ewell, Gaines, Gregory, Kimberly, Keep ; Leland, Leonard, Man, Martyn, Merrill,, Rogers, Scranton, Shreve, Smith (C. E.), Smith (C. H.), Stimson, Stires, Taintor (C. N.), Warren (H. W.), Wilson, Witte.r, Woodworth, Hill and Wilson (J. A.) — 35. Witter called the Class to order and asked Dr. Cooper to invoke the blessing. After enjoying the best dinner the Class had ever sat down to, we. sang our Class songs and each chat- ted with h's neighbor until Witter called the meeting to order that we might listen to some of those present. Short speeches were then made by Prof. C. H. Smith of the Faculty, Dr. Cooper of the Corporation, Keep, Leland, Collin, Merrill, Gaines, Caskey, Drury, Scranton, Chittenden, Stimson and Ewell upon the course of instruction, especially- regarding public speaking, Yale spirit and enhusiasm and Yale democracy and athletics. Extracts from letters from many of the absent ones were read, and a letter from Stocking to the Class was greatly en- joyed ; also a very kind message to the. Class from the grand- parent of our Cup-Boy, Mr. J. K. Sexton, of Cincinnati, O. Having heard of the serious illness of our old instructor. Professor Newton, a committee, consisting of C. H. Smith and Witter, were appointed to call upon him and express the sympathy of the Class with him in his severe suffering. 18 CLASS MEETINGS A vote of thanks was given Kimberly for his successful efforts in securing so many good seats at the game, and such a palatial car to take us to the "Field," where we had enjoyed so delightful an afternoon. At 2 45 A. M., leaving the table, we marched to our Class Ivy, when we sang our Ivy Song, and then sadly bade each other good-night. EIGHTH MEETING. THIRTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 26, 1900. Slowly the members of the Class gathered about Alumni Hall, few being there at 9:30, when the Alumni meeting was called to order, but when Kittredge was called upon to speak for '65 a fair number of the Class had assembled, and all were much pleased with his remarks upon what '65 had done for Yale. At 12:15 -P- M. the business meeting of the Class was held at Room E-2, Osborne Hall. Duyckinck called the meeting to order and requested nominations for Chairman. Kimberly was chosen to preside. The Secretary then called the roll, and the following answered to their names : Caskey, Chapman, Chittenden, Collin, Converse, Cooper, Dryden, Duyckinck, Ely, Ewell, Gregory, Hall, Hicks, Hill, Kimberly, Kittredge, Man, Merrill, Stires, Taintor (H. E), Warren (H. W.), Wenner, Woodworth, Wilson (J. A.) — 24. The Secretary read his report as follows : To the Members of the Class of '65 : Since our last re- union Stoskopf, Burchard, Dutton, Norton, Charley Smith, Shreve and Bacon have left us, thus reducing the Class to 74 men, and the sad words received from some of the Class, say- ing that their condition prevents their joining us to-day, can- not fail to inspire all with a feeling of sadness. Your Secretary has notified you of the death of each class- mate as soon as possible, and in June, each year, has issued an "In Memoriam'' circular contributed by some College chum of our dead classmate. CLASS MEETINGS 19 The expenses of the Class have been exceptionaly small, less than $40 a year for the Class since graduation, including Class history with its addition. The Class suppers were paid for by those attending them. In order to continue the work of your Secretary until our next reunion, and to meet the present deficit, we shall require about $250. It remains for you to decide whether to raise this amount by voluntary con- tribution or by assessment. The cost of the ball game and supper to-night is not included. Your Secretary has prepared for the meeting "Incidents of our College Life," which he trusts may prove not only satisfactory but of personal interest to each one, and revive the memories of those happy days at Yale. The Class button selected by your Committee we wear to-day for the first time, and it appears to meet the approval of all. Hereafter, at all Yale functions, may each man wear this insignia of '65. The 'Committee, upon due consideration, decided not to issue a book containing the latest pictures of the present mem- bers of the Class ; many photographs were sent in as requested by the Secretary prior to the decision, and their pictures we have with us to-day. Mr. Sexton, the possessor of the Class Cup, we are happy to learn, is in excellent health ; long may he live to enjoy and care for our mutual memento of the past. The Class Committee have used every effort to make this meeting a success, and trust their anticipations may be real- ized. To Kimberly is due many thanks for arranging all matters pertaining to the supper and other details at New Haven. The financial report is also respectfully submitted, and trust same may meet with your approval. With hearty greetings to every member of the Class, I. remain Your Class Secretary, Whitehead C. Duyckinck. 20 CLASS MEETINGS Ewell moved that the report be accepted and to extend to the Secretary thanks of the Class for his faithful services. Motion duly seconded and carried. Man moved that all members present at this meeting and supper pay $5 each ($3.50 for supper and $1.50 toward def- icit), and that the Class Committee be authorized to assess each member not over $3, so as to cover any deficit and the current expenses up to next meeting. Motion seconded and carried. Chittenden moved that the selection of presiding officer at our dinner be left to the Committee. Mot'on duly seconded and carried. The Secretary announced that Kimberly had secured 25 tickets for the ball game, and that a car would be ready for us at 2 P. M. in front of Osborne Hall. The pictures of the Class were then shown, and it was a source of great pleasure to see the photographs of our absent classmates, and only sorry that many had failed to forward theirs. Motion to adjourn being made and carried, the meet- ing adjourned at 1 P. M. At 2 P. M., with our Yale '65 flag, we took our trolley car to the Yale Field and saw a wonderful game of baseball, but did not enjoy seeing Yale defeated by Harvard 3 to o. We returned after the game to the New Haven House corner. At 7:30 P. M. we assembled in front of Osborne Hall and sang our old college songs until 8:15, when we all marched two by two to Fleming's. The following were present at the supper : Barrows, Bran- son, Caskey, Chapman, Chittenden, Collin, Converse, Cooper, Dryden, Duyckinck, Ely, Ewell, Gregory, Hicks, Hill, Kim- berly, Kittredge, Man, Merrill, Scranton, Stires, Taintor (C. N.), Taintor (H. E.), Warren (H. W.), Wood, Woodworth, Wilson (J. A.) — 27. Cooper having been selected to preside, called upon Caskey to invoke the blessing. All enjoyed the excellent dinner pro- vided, and as we sang our familiar college songs between the CLASS MEETINGS 21 courses, and as each member present had much to say to his neighbor, the time passed quickly, until Cooper called the meeting to order and asked that letters from the absent ones be read. The Secretary requested Man to read those from the following: Frank Miller, Judge Adams, C. H. Smith (in charge of the Yale examinations at Chicago), Hyde, Leonard, Hale, Keep, Rogers ; a special letter from Stocking, a very kindly letter from Mrs. Burchard, and extracts from many other letters, ending with the Wilbur Bacon postal answering "Probably not" (almost a message from the dead). When Man had fiinished, Kittredge read a letter from Drury. After the absent ones had been heard from, Cooper called upon each member present to tell something of himself, and when all had spoken, Judge C. N. Taintor called the attention of the Class to the fact that we did not propose to let any guilty man escape, and therefore the Chairman must tell of himself, which he did very satisfactorily. Taintor (C. N.) called the attention of the Class to one of Norton's poems, which he read ; then we sang Norton's song, "Sweet and Low." As the hands of the clock indicated 2:15 A. M. we left the table and all marched, with the flag of "Yale '65" before us, to the Library building. As we assembled about that corner where our Class Ivy still is green, and where so often the Class have sung Harry Brown's Ivy Song, we sang again those pathetic words, but missed the. voices of many who had gathered with us in the past. As we ended our song of sadness, standing with uncovered heads, sorrowfully and reverently we listened to Ewell pronounce a benediction ; then we bade one another good-by. At the Yale bicentennial, held October, 1901, there were present: Barrows, Caskey, Chandler, Chapman, Chittenden, Cooper, Dalzell, Dickerman, Drury, Dryden, Duyckinck, Ewell, Forrest, Keep, Kimberly, Kittredge, Leonard, Man, Martyn, Merrill, Rogers, Scranton, C. H. Smith, Stimson, Stires, C. N. Taintor and H. E. Taintor, H. W. Warren, Wenner, Wilson and Woodworth (31), and three former members, Davenport, Hill and Wilson. 22 CLASS MEETINGS NINTH MEETING. FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY, JUNE 27, 1905. At 10 A. M. we met in Alumni Hall, listened to President Hadley's report and the speeches of one or two of the duly appointed orators, but before the termination many of us had left the hall to talk outside with each other. Very unexpect- edly to most of us Drury, just before the close, arose from the audience and, addressing the President in a short speech, protested against the ignoring of our class in the arrangement for the speakers for this gathering. At 12 noon the business meeting, in a room of the Uni- versity Club, was called to order by Duyckinck, and Dryden was chosen to preside. The Secretary then called the roll, and the following responded : Chandler, Chapman, Chittenden, Collin, Converse, Cooper, Dalzell, Dickerman, Drury, Dryden, Duyckinck, Ely, Ewell, Forrest, Gaines, Gilbert, Gregory, Kimberly, Kirkhuff, Kit- chell, Kittredge, Leonard, Man, Martyn, Osborn, Rogers, Stimson, H. W. Warren, Wenner, Wood, Wood worth — 31, and Davis, Hall, Hill, Pierson and Sayles — 5 ; total, 36. The Secretary then read his report : REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. Forty years have come and gone since our class life at Yale ended, and of all our members there is only one who cannot be found or accounted for. In tracing some of the others we have had to overcome many difficulties, resorting to second and third notices, registered letters, and correspondence with Yale men of other classes, postmasters and public officials. Certainly our labor has not been in vain, and we can con- gratulate ourselves upon the results. We have heard, directly or indirectly, from all but one of the 62 survivors who, with our 38 departed classmates, account for that 101, the class of 1865. During the past five years twelve have passed away — Allen, Bissell, Wilson, Stires, Lockwood, Byington, Keep, CLASS MEETINGS 23 Reeves, Tom Brown, H. E. Taintor, J. Charnley and Stowell. Due notice of their deaths have been mailed you and the usual obituaries issued each June. The Secretary wishes to express here his many obligations to those who so kindly aided him in contributing these obituary notices for the Class. The holder of our Class Cup, Mr. James K. Sexton, is still living in Cincinnati, and we hope to have some message from him at this meeting. Soon after our Thirty-fifth Anniversary your Secretary, in behalf of the class, presented to the Yale Gymnasium a framed photograph of the "Wilbur Bacon" crew in their shell and some interesting posters of the Worcester races, which were apparently highly appreciated for the insight they gave of those older days. At the Bicentennial '65 was represented by 31 graduates and 3 non-graduates. The procession, dramatics and commemoration ceremonies were thoroughly enjoyed by all except the writer, but he met with an accident that Monday night and did not recover until months later. He would here offer his thanks to each and all of his classmates for their expressions of sympathy and the many kindnesses shown him at that time. A friend of Converse some years ago cut off and cultivated a slip from the old class ivy, and has presented it to us so that we might have a younger branch to occupy the place so long held by the old ivy, which died a few years ago. We would suggest that the class express to the donor our appreciation of the gift, which we have had planted in the '65 corner. A more detailed personal report of each man seems to your Committee a necessity, especially if we are to issue another class history. We would, therefore, suggest the appointment of two members of the class to assist the Secretary in collect- ing and preparing such data as will be necessary for a book, which it is planned will give much fuller records of the past than we have had heretofore and of the present. It is for you to decide whether the class shall issue a revised history or not. 24 CLASS MEETINGS We lack so much of the personal history of each man up to date that we ought to have it, even if not for present publi- cation. As to the financial condition of the class, the contributions made in 1900 have defrayed all but $65.57 °f tne expenses up to date — a detailed statement is ready for your inspection. We shall require at least $300 to pay the probable expenses to be incurred now and until the next reunion (not to mention the cost of a class history if decided upon). Whether you desire to raise this by assessment or voluntary contributions is for you to decide. To Kimberly, who secured the rooms at the Universitv Club for our dinner and seats at the ball game, and arranged many other details which will contribute much to our enjoy- ment, we are greatly indebted. Your Secretary is under many obligations to Chandler and Man, with whom he has had often to consult regarding class matters. To each and every man of '65 the Secretary offers his sin- cere thanks for their kindly expressions of approval of his work, and their assistance to him in the various duties he has been called upon to perform. May the labors of your Committee prove acceptable to you, and may each man present assist us in making this meet- ing a delightful one. Your Class Secretary, Whitehead C. Duyckinck. On motion, the report was ordered accepted. It was moved and ordered that the class express to the donor of the ivy its appreciation of the gift. On a motion duly made and carried, that the Secretary select two of the class to assist him in collecting and arranging personal data to be furnished by each member suitable for a class history, and to publish the same if they deem it advisable. Duyckinck named Chandler and Man. CLASS MEETINGS 25 Man then offered the following resolutions, which were adopted by the Class : Resolved, That a Class Fund be established for the pur- pose of meeting the expenses to be incurred by the Class Com- mittee and Secretary for printing, postage, future Class meet- ings, Class history and other Class purposes, such Fund to be raised by subscription from members of the Class; that the money so collected be deposited in a bank or trust company at interest, in the name of the Class, subject to the draft of the Class Treasurer. Resolved, That in the event of the death of the Class Sec- retary, Treasurer or a member of the Class Committee, the surviving members of the Class Committee be empowered and authorized to fill any such vacancies; that the member or members so appointed to fill such vacancy or vacancies hold office until the next Class Reunion. Resolved, That any surplus remaining after the death of the last member go into the fund of Yale University. The election of Merrill on the Corporatio.n for life, in place of a minister met with hearty approval. Stimson moved that the Secretary express to Merrill, who is abroad, the congratu- lations of the Class. Motion seconded and carried. Dalzell was unanimously selected to preside at the Class dinner. There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 12:45 p - M - At 1 P. M. the Class met on the steps of the Chittenden Library instead of Osborn Hall, as first selected, and had a photograph taken by Pach, who will notify you regarding orders. About 2 P. M. we all took 1 the trolley to the Yale Field to see the Yale-Harvard game. Kimberly had secured fine seats, and we all enjoyed seeing a Yale victory of 7 to 2. At 7:30 we met in front of Osborne Hall, the arrival of Barrows, Taintor and Thompson were welcomed by all; the songs of '65 were sung as they were in the days of old, and semed to be appreciated by the large audience on the street. 26 CLASS MEETINGS At 8:10 we marched to the University Club to enjoy one of the pleasantest dinners the Class has ever attended. Thirty- nine members and ex-members being present, though Hill had to go very early to start on a Congresional trip to the Philip- pines. Dalzell called the meeting to order, and asked Wenner to invoke the blessing. Then each course was enjoyed informally until we reached our coffee. Owing to the purely personal character of the next event, the presentation of a Loving Cup to your Secretary, he would refer you to the accompanying report of the ceremony by one of the Class Committee. :}£ if: $ fy $ :£ !)c He would here tender to you all, in most inadequate words, his thanks for, and great appreciation of, the magnificent testi- monial of the kindly feeling of the Class toward him. The cup was filled with two quarts of champagne and passed around the table so that each man might drink to the health of the Secretary. Speeches followed by Ewell, Dryden, Stimson, Lt. Col. Davis, Drury, Taintor, Kittredge, Forrest, Cooper, Sayles, Pierson, Wood, Converse, Ely, Thompson, Woodward and Kirkhuff. Man read letters from many of the absent ones. Others were present whom we had wished to hear from, but as it was 2 :20 A. M. the class decided to adjourn and visit the Class Ivy. Before leaving the room Dalzell called upon Dicker- man to pronounce the benediction, and suggested that first we all unite in repeating the Lord's Prayer, which we did with great solemnity. Then we marched to the Class Ivy and sang Harry Brown's Ivy Song, and with a closing benediction by Chapman, we bade one another a sad good-bye, realizing the many changes that might take place before 65's next reunion at Yale in 1910. Wednesday, June 28. A number of the class joined in the procession to Woolsey Hall for the commencement exercises. CLASS MEETINGS 27 At 2 P. M., at the Alumni Dinner in University Hall, nine- teen of the class were present: Chandler, Chapman, Cooper, Duyckinck, Ely, Gaines, Kimberly, Kirkhuff, Kitchell, Kitt- redge, Leonard, Man, Martyn, Osborn, Stimson, Wenner, Woodworth, Pierson and Sayles. In the evening a few of the class attended the President's reception. Thursday, June 29. Several went to the boat race and saw Yale win the 'Varsity. The story of our fortieth anniversary is told, and we may rejoice that the strong ties of friendship which bound us together in college have grown stronger and stronger, until now we, at least, are sure that there is a deeper and truer affection for each other than can be found among any other sixty men. Your Class Secretary, Whitehead C. Duyckinck. BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF Graduate Members of the Class. [An Astrisk t*) proceeding a name indicates that the member is dead.J ELMER BRAGG ADAMS, LL.D.

During this period of study he filled a position in the Public School System of the City of New York. He continued the practice of medicine for two years, when he abandoned it so that he might give his entire attention to the service of the Board of Education. He identi- fied himself with Public School No. 58 in Fifty-second Street, where he remained until his death, a period of over thirty years, for a number of years past having been Vice-Principal. His rare musical talent and skill placed him in the best church choirs in New York City — St. George's St. Stephen's, Zion, St. Andrew's, and for twenty-five years he held the posi- tion of soloist and precentor in Dr. John Hall's Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church ; the last four years he was precentor at his church at home in Hackensack, N.

He caught a cold while traveling, and was not well when he made a speech in Quincy, III, which proved to be his last, for within a month it was known, that he had consumption. He returned to the East, and then back to the West to try Min- nesota; but in April, 1868, he went to Nashua, New Hamp- shire, where he lingered very feeble in body but with his mind active and unchanged until August 12, 1869, when a sudden change came over him and in a moment he was dead.

His eighteen years' labor proved very successful, but his wife's health and the consideration of his children's future caused him, in December, 1900, to resign, and he became "Rector Emeritus." While in Dresden, he declined the Professor- ship of Church History in the Theological Seminary at Fairibault, Minn., and after his return he declined many 44 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD calls to parishes.

In 1904 he went to the Yale Divinity School and remained three years. His health has never been robust, and this has disquali- fied him from doing the hard and heavy work of a parish as he had desired. He writes : "I am living a quiet, uneventful live, serving a small country parish, simply an ordinary country minister doing what little good I can do in a quiet way." His congragation afforded him an opportunity to carry out his long cherished plans of devoting the spacious house and grounds of the rectory to the entertainment of poor children from the crowded tenements of New York and New Haven, and during the past two summers he has met with gratifying results. 46 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD He has been identified with the public schools, and as a member of the various boards his influence has been felt.

He received the degree of B.D. from Yale Theological Sem- inary in 1868. His pastorates were at Normal, 111. ; West Haven, Conn. ; Lewiston, Me., and Amherst, Mass. In De- cember, 1891, he accepted an invitation of the American Mis- sionary Association to educational and missionary work in the South, in which he continued until October, 1895. During the three following years he was engaged in literary work, and at the same time maintained his interest in the South by study, correspondence and travel. In 1898 he became intimately asso- ciated with Hampton Institute, whose wise system of training deeply impressed him. In 1899 he was a member of the Capon Springs Conference for Education in the South, and read a paper on "Co-operation in Educational Work." Afterward he was invited to become the Field Agent of this Conference, with which he has ever since been identified. BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 57 In 1901 action taken at the Fourth Conference, at Winston Salem, N. C, resulted in the organization of the Southern Education Board, which was speedily followed by the organ- ization of the General Education Board. He became general field agent of the Southern Education Board at its origin. He is now a member of this board and its Associate Secretary. In May, 1906, upon the request of the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund, he became their field agent, which office he still holds. He has prepared for the press a number of papers on educa- tional subjects, which have been published in the "Southern Workman" and other periodicals. His "Illiteracy of the Vot- ing Population of the United States" was printed as Chapter XVIII. of the Report of the United States Commission of Edu- cation for 1902; another paper on the "Conference for Educa- tion in the South and the Southern Education Board" consti- tutes a chapter in the Commmissioner's 1907 report. He has edited, published and distributed "The Proceedings of the 8th, 9th, 10th and nth Conferences for Education in the South"; also the "Proceedings of the 'Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund' for 1906-1907, 1907-1908 and 1908-1909." He was engaged in the. year 1905-1908 in genealogical re- search, which resulted, in several publications — "Families of Dickerman Ancestry'' (in preparing which he was associated with his brother, E. D. Dickerman), "Plant Genealogy" and "The House of Plant" being the more important. Married November 29, 1870, Elizabeth M. Street. Children : Elizabeth Street, born November 13, 1872. Smith Col.

William Clark, born September 28, 1882. Address, 209 Washington Street, Boston, Mass. JOHN FAIRFIELD DRYDEN, M.A. Born in Farmington, Me., August 7, 1839. Son of John and Elizabeth (Butterfield) Dryden. Soon after leaving college he engaged in the. insurance busi- ness in Ohio. Coming to New Jersey, he read extensively on the subject of life insurance, and his attention was attracted to the industrial plan of that business, which had been placed on a practical basis in England. He visited England, where he made a thorough investigation of the system, and upon his return selected Newark as a suitable place to carry out his plans. He is to-day recognized by all insurance men as the father of that BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 59 branch of the business, and enjoys the distinction of being the only American underwriter of the present day personally to have founded one of the two great branches of American life insurance. One of the incorporators of the Prudential Insur- ance Company, and its secretary for the first five years, suc- ceeding to the presidency in 1881, which office he still retains. He. has devoted his energy and ability to broadening and liberal- izing the policies and methods of his company, working out and introducing many improvements. His letters to agents and his addresses on life insurance topics have won for him a reputa- tion as a clear and logical writer and speaker and a strong executive. In 1890 he personally supervised the building of a new home office building in Newark, while at the same time he gave the closest attention to the expansion of the business. In 1895 he appeared before the Insurance Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature, and in a speech full of facts and figures of experience clearly demonstrated the fallacies of the proposed bill to prohibit insurance of children, and succeeded in defeating the bill. In 1897 declined on account of pressure of business to run for the United States Senatorship for New Jersey. In 1900 one of the Republican Presidential Electors for New Jersey. During 1900-1902 he took a prominent part in the establish- ment on a firm basis of the Gas, Electric and Traction organ- izations of New Jersey. His chief interest, however, was always in the great life insurance company he had organized and brought to splendid maturity. About this time the com- pany built and occupied three new magnificent buildings. As in the case of the first, he supervised every plan and detail of the construction from start to finish. / In 1902, owing to the death of the United States Senator from New Jersey, a successor had to be selected. Dryden's name was again mentioned, and being the most prominent can- didate, he was elected on January 29, 1902. Upon his entering the Senate, he received a number of prominent com- 60 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD mittee appointments, and made his first speech April 12 on certain phases of the Chinese Exclusion Bill. As a member of the Interoceanic Canal Committee, he rendered valuable service in bringing to a successful fruition the legislation which defi- nitely assures, within a comparatively few years, the completion of that stupendous project, he great international waterway connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific. His speech in support of the minority, coupled with his personal co-operation with President Taft, then Secretary of War, in converting the op- position Senators to the lock type of canal, was most potential in effecting the. narrow majority vote by which the bill was finally enacted into law. In addition to the national measure in which he had a voice in framing and bringing to a successful issue, he was most active and influential in securing for his own State appropriations aggregating at least $5,000,000. His amendment to the Railroad Rate Bill, fixing the time for divorc- ing the control of mining properties from the railroads has proven a wise and important enactment. As a member of the Committee on Library and the Com- mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, he secured action upon a number of important measures for the improvement of the National Capitol. As a member of the Committee on Immigration, he aided materially in effecting desirable laws. On March 4, 1907, his term expired. His health breaking down, he yielded to his physician and family and withdrew from the contest, though he was the choice of the voters, as a result of the primaries, for re-election. Upon regaining his health he immediately resumed activities in business matters, and in the 1907 panic proved himself a financial genius, and through his efforts, more than those of any other man, the. city of Newark and the entire State of New Jersey were able to stave off a financial crisis. In 1908 and 1909 he began the construction of additional office, buildings, and further extended the field of operation of the Prudential. Upon the celebration of his seventieth birthday in August, in the full vigor of health physically and mentally, BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 61 the field force of the company handed in 85,000 policies in one week — the largest volume of insurance ever written by any company within this length of time.

Re- tiring from this firm, he. became a partner in the firm of H. A. Rogers & Co., importers, manufacturers and dealers in railway, machinist and engineers' supplies, at 50 and 52 John Street, New York, which was dissolved in 1875. He then continued the businness alone until 1886, when, owing to sickness from overwork, he retired, having disposed of his business to a stock company. For a time he did not take part in any active busi- ness, but in 1 89 1 accepted a position in the Mutual Life Insur- ance Company of New York, with which he is still connected. In 1877 he prepared and issued an illustrate.d trade cata- logue, which met with the approval of all interested in such articles, both here and in foreign countries. He also has writ- ten quite a number of circulars and leaflets on life insurance. During his leisure he has enjoyed studying genealogy and Colonial history, especially that relating to old New York and the old Dutch families.

Immediately after graduating he returned to Elyria, where he has since resided. For twenty-three years he was exten- sively engaged in the manufacture of carriage hardware. Since disposing of his interest in this business in 1888 he has been interested in many enterprises in his own city and elsewhere. For twenty-five years he has been a director in the National Bank of Elyria, and since 1895 its president. Some six years ago, after his father's death, the real estate owned by the family was deeded to the Ely Realty Company, a corporation, and he became its president and manager. In this position he finds constant and congenial occupation in advancing the rapid growth and development of Elyria. He organized the. Chamber of Commerce, and was for several years its president. The only political office he ever held was that of State Senator for two terms, 1893-1897, having been nominated by acclamation each time. He was one of the charter members of the Cleveland Yale Alumni Association in 1881, and has served as its president three terms, and is the only member who has attended every one of the twenty-eight annual meetings.

His pastorates were Clinton, Iowa ; Belmont and Millbury, Mass. At the close of 1890 he accepted a professorship in the School of Theology in Howard Uni- versity. This being the only department not receiving any aid from government, it is largely supported by the American Missionary Association, so the chairs of its teachers are some- what broad. He had charge of the courses in Church History, Hebrew Bible and Greek Testament. For ten years was Dean of the Department, and still retained the full work of a pro- fessor. On his second trip abroad he visited Greece, Egypt and Palestine, and upon his return delivered many lectures, illus- trated with views, of the various places of interest. 66 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD His seven voyages to Europe have been made largely to prosecute his studies in Church History and to trace with camera in hand the homes and wanderings of the Pilgrim Fathers in England and Holland. In 1904 he published the "Story of Byfield," a history of his native parish in Massachusetts, which received favorable mention from "The Spectator," "The Nation," and the press in general. In 1906 he issued a brief history of the School of Theology, then known as the Theological Department, of Howard University. He also contributed many articles for magazines and weekly papers. His summer home was on the old homestead in Byfield, where they have land that has belonged to the family for two hundred and ten years and for seven generations, and there he was buried.

His legislative work the first year in the Senate probably secured the enactment of the original subway legisla- tion, and subsequently on his re-election not only saved its repeal, but secured enabling and perfecting amendments upon which the Boston subway was finally built.

He then organized and became pastor of the "Evangelical Luth- BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 115 eran Church of Christ." He writes, "My life has been con- fined to a narrow sphere as pastor of a congregation on the East Side for the past forty-two years. It was a congregation which I had gathered while I was a student at the Seminary, and when that course was over, I found myself so attached to the congregation, and the work itself was so congenial, that I just kept on in the old ruts, doing the same things and seeing no reason why I should go further afield in search of a life work." The church is Lutheran and the services are conducted both in English and German, so he claims that his intellectual development has taken place to a great degree in a Germanic atmosphere. With his required studies in pastoral work he has given special attention to Liturgies and Catechetics, upon which he has written several brochures. His little book on "Religious Education and the Public School" has attracted much atten- tion ; also numerous articles and brochures on the general sub- ject of the Inner Mission and the Diaconate. Since 1883 has been chairman of the Liturgical Committee oi" the General Synod; 1885-1899, chairman of the Committee on Deaconess Work and aided in the establishment of a Moth- erhouse in Baltimore under the auspices of the Synod. As recording secretary of the Evangelical Alliance for the past thirty years, as vice-president of the New York Federation of Churches, and as a member of the Executive Committee of the National Federation of Churches, he enjoys the privilege of coming in contact with the religious movements outside of his own denomination. Since 1904 has been president of the Synod, or ecclesiastical body, to which his congregation belongs, now known as the Synod of New York, which gives him the care in a certain way of some. 130 churches, located from Trenton to Buffalo. Since 1892 has been a member of the "Quill Club" of New York, and in 1908 was elected its president. Member of the Executive Committee of American Tract Society, Lutheran Seamen's Commission. 116 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD Married, April 4, 1880, Rebecca Pullman, who died in 1902.

C of the 52d Massachusetts Volunteers, serving nine months in Louisiana. He entered the class of 1866 at the beginning of Sophomore year, but left at the end of the second term to engage in journalistic pursuits. He became a newspaper writer, and soon after the editor and publisher of The Free Press at Northampton. In 1870 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 145 took a position as assistant editor of the Springfield Repub- lican, which he retained until 1872, when he established the "Western Massachusetts Advertising Agency." In 1879 he removed to Hartford, Conn., where he assumed the position of editor of the Connecticut Farmer, and a year later the business control of the paper, from which he retired in 1904, to again engage in the advertising agency business.

J., November 8, 1844. He entered Yale with the class of '65, but left at the close of Freshman year to join the army, enlisting as a private in the 27th N. J. Volunteer Infantry, a nine months' regiment. He was in Burnsides' Fredericksburg campaign, and afterwards in Kentucky, and when mustered out of service, he had risen to the rank of second lieutenant. Im- mediately after reaching home he re-enlisted as sergeant- major in the 33d N. J. Volunteers, and with it went West under Hooker. He served in the campaign about Chatta- nooga, and was with Sherman on the whole of his Atlanta campaign, the March to the Sea, the campaigns of the Carolinas, and Joe Johnson's surrender at Raleigh. He was wounded once, became adjutant of the regiment, and was brevetted captain, and afterwards major, for gallant con- duct, and came out of service July, 1865, the youngest officer in the brigade. He returned to college in September fol- lowing, joined '68, and continued with the class the first two 146 BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD terms of Sophomore year. He received the degree of M.A. from Yale in 1888 and is enrolled with the class of '68. After leaving Yale he was a student of medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, where he graduated in 1869, and was appointed house physician at Bellevue Hospital. He began the practice of medicine at Boonton, N. J., in 1870. In 1873 he removed to Morris- town, where he has since resided. His character and stand- ing cannot be better expressed than by quoting the Rev. William Durant, D.D., his former pastor: "As a physician it is conceded that he stands in the front rank, not only for skill and fidelity, but also for broad cul- ture, refined taste, genial manners, good judgment, and ex- tensive though unobtrusive influence. His practice is large, but he finds time to keep abreast with the best thought of the day and to take an active part in all measures looking to the higher welfare of the community. "Dr. Pierson has been a member of the Morristown Board of Education for a number of years and for a part of the time its president, and the excellence of the public school system of that city is due in no small degree to him." In 1892 he was appointed Medical Director of All Souls' Hospital, Morristown. He is also one of the visiting staff at the Morristown Memorial Hospital, and continues to do much active work in both hospitals. He has not written anything 'for publication, but has made a number of short addresses before medical societies and at various public meetings. He has also taken an active interest in church work, and for a number of years has been an elder in the First Presbyterian Church and president of the Board of Trustees. As to achievement, successes and reverses, he values the three years of service for his country from '62 to '65 more highly than any years which have followed it — next to that, the evidences of good will, friendship and respect bestowed upon him by the community in which he was born and where he has lived his life. Financially, his professional in- BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 147 come has been sufficient for his needs, with something on occasion for somebody else — and a modest provision for old age, should old age come to him. His reverses have been the personal griefs and losses stated below. He was married at Morristown, September 13, 1870, to Amelia T. Cory, and has had two sons : Edward, born at Boonton, January 7, 1872, died at Alorristown, June 12, 1886; Stephen Cory, born at Morristown, August 25, 1886, died at Morristown, July 26, 1893. Airs.
