The men, instead of becoming more garrulous as they grow older, are disposed to be more reserved about themselves. Many names have disappeared from the roll; Wooten has come East as Professor of Law at Notre Dame University. About one-third of the Class have retired from their respective jobs. For most of us the period of constructive activity has passed. Old age has its compensations: Given the philosophy or faith to bear with tranquillity the fact that this is a world of partings, life is much less com- pelling and we can shift the burdens to stronger and more willing shoulders. The Fiftieth Reunion was certainly a great success, and the men who returned (twenty out of a possible thirty-one) had a great time, fighting over the old bat- tles and getting acquainted with the new Princeton. Formal obituaries have been omitted because they have been published in the Alumni Weekly. Henry Morrat, President Tuos. W.

How various are the ways Our feet have trodden, in our zeal to climb Where rose the heights of life, serene, austere, Since that far era of youth’s happy prime When first we gathered here! I wonder if the dreams that we dreamed then Of what our lives should be when we were men— Oh, more than marvellous those dreams of youth!— Have in one case come true! You smile—good sooth, A wistful smile!—as you your dream recall, How big with promise, and then think how small Has been the outcome. Ah, but that is Life! 6 CLASS OF °%75 The future bides unknown—its peace or strife. We never know a moment in advance What fate or fact or scheme or choice or chance May intervene to check or change our course; We seem directed by an Unseen Force This way or that to unknown ends; but still, Clearly conditioned by our worth and will! So, though those dreams of ours came never true, We've done the tasks that we were set to do. In all the feverish ferment of our age, We've played our part, have served and won our wage; Have had success and failures, felt delight In love and home, known sorrow, helped to right Some wrongs, we trust, and, through all, kept our faith In Right and Truth and Virtue void of scathe. Now we are come—the fact we dare not blink— Eyes growing dim, feet faltering, near the brink, Whence very soon, as ebbs our failing force, We must take ship and steer an unknown course— With favoring breeze, we hope, on sea serene— On, and still on, into the Great Unseen! PRINCETON UNIVERSITY II What is this life we cherish? I query o’er and o’er, And does it wholly perish When throbs the pulse no more? —A little while for dreaming, For love, a little space, A period for scheming To win one wealth or place: So, to our purblind vision, The average life appears, Exciting now derision, Eliciting now tears! We can no way determine Why things are ordered so That some go robed in ermine, Some only tatters know! We pore o’er History’s pages In hope to gain a clew; We turn to seers and sages To learn what they thought true; And find that no man ever Has felt himself quite sure, When soul and body sever, That he shall still endure. CLASS OF °75 But life is so unequal That justice must expect A compensating sequel To heal the world’s defect! And so, though all things alter When falls the stroke of death, We must not—dare not falter In hope and trust and faith. III But not to tones of sadness Alone Id tune my lyre; Tonight be joy and gladness That still our hearts conspire To glory and rejoice in The memories of old days, And lift our every voice in The old familiar lays. Oh, youthtime with its rapture In sunshine and in showers! Tonight we almost capture Those olden joys of ours: Again some youthful notion Our fancy seems to stir, Requickening old emotion Age could not wholly blur. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Oh, happy days of learning Care-free and void of stress, But haunted oft with yearning Life’s largess to possess! In memory we relive them, In memory feel the zest, That youth alone could give them, That age alone can test. How golden loomed the distance We sought with longing eyes! We vowed that no resistance Should cheat us of its prize: Whatso the years have brought us, Whatso we’ve learned to do, For all, Old Nassau taught us The worth of being true. IV But let us pause a little to recall them, Our brothers who have crossed the Great Divide: Earth’s joys and sorrows can no more befall them, Nor any ill betide! 10 CLASS OF ’75 “Death is no evil save to those surviving!”’ So our good classmate Lionberger writes: Tis but cessation of life’s strenuous striving, Release from all affrights. But we—we mourn them, and in recollection Recount their deeds, their virtues, their acclaim, Ruing their passing, while with staunch affection We linger o’er each name. V To Alma Mater, glorious, God grant perpetual youth! May she be aye victorious In battling for the Truth! Still may she be most rigorous To teach young men the creed Of service, virile, vigorous, Whatso good cause has need! May she in all futurity, How great soe’er she grow, Preserve, in pristine purity, The spirit that we know: PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 11 That whatso men may do in life To win them wealth or fame, They must be ever true in life To feed Truth’s sacred flame! This spirit she inherited From those who gave her birth; Through it she’s won, and merited, A fame that girds the earth! VI O Brothers mine, what shall be said to strengthen Our hearts and give them grace For future hours? The evening shadows lengthen And night comes on apace. A little while remains for love and laughter, For toil and cares and tears; And then we pass into the long hereafter, Where there are no more years. What shall confront us when we cross the border? —Ah, there is none that knows! We can but hope for larger life and order, For joy, love, and repose: 12 CLASS OF °75 For ampler knowledge, fuller comprehension Of God, of man, of life,— Completely freed of caste, creed, and convention, Of argument and strife. Still let us keep our hearts young, as in olden Care-free and joy-filled days, When all the dreams that thrilled our thoughts were golden, And flower-strewn seemed all ways. And “carry on” in faith and calm endurance, Until life’s bourne be passed, Our hearts cheered by th’ unwavering assurance— All shall be well at last! CL8[ AO SLSVNWAY) AH, HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 775 First DrecaDE E first decade after graduation was under the Secretaryship of Charley Murray. We have in our files all of the correspondence that led up to the first year’s record. We have a record of the tri- gennial, when we had a reunion and a class dinner. In 1885 Charley resigned and the Decennial Record was printed. Since then we have a very complete file of correspondence. There were three deaths in this period. Charley Fleming, undoubtedly the sweetest spirit that ever blessed a college class. He had studied law, been ad- mitted to the bar of Dauphin County and was rising rapidly in his profession when he was translated, March 20, 1883. His memory is still green in the hearts of us all. Blinn also died February 6, 1877, less than two years after graduation. We lost track of him, but be- lieve that he taught school. We will remember that he had epilepsy while a student, but in spite of this hand- icap he was the strongest man in the class and shone as a heavyweight gymnast. 14 CLASS OF °75 The third death was Stevenson, about whom we have never had any information. There are no letters from him on our files. Archie Alexander during this period had pursued his studies in philosophy in America and Europe, had been married and was a professor in Columbia Uni- versity. F’.

Alexander. Geneva, Switzerland. Two years lec- turer in Philosophy in Neuchatel. During the first two years of the war Archie’s letters were very rich dis- cussing President Wilson and his notes: *“When one of his notes reaches Europe the monarchs and chancel- lors fairly shake in their boots. When half the world is aflame it is very soothing to my nerves to read one of his lectures and his alarming threats written in Dad Atwater’s best style. These notes have become a per- fect joke from Constantinople to London. Americans seemed pleased with them. I suppose they are like the old lady who, in reading her Bible, found such com- fort in that blessed word Mesopotamia.” In 1906 the Class of ’75 began to have a winter Class Reunion in New York. This was very successful for a few years, then we dwindled, and added ’76 then °73 and °74 and later all of the Seventies and before; it is going still successfully. F’. D.

Firrg DECADE 1915 to 1925 A. Alexander, who died in 1917 in Geneva, had been living in that town and was connected with the University of Geneva. His letters, written after the beginning of the war, were typical. His sarcasm was stimulated by the Wilson notes and their effect on European diplomats. He did not live long enough to appreciate their full effect upon the peoples of Europe. F. Alexander. Died in 1923. “F’ quietly slipped down the toboggan after a life, the quietest and most uneventful that can be imagined. He dreamed, and smoked, and read, and fished. Dr. W.S. Archer. “Little Sage’’ is still practising in Bel Air, Md., driving his old horse buggy as of yore and only the other day he was run down by an auto bus that threw him out, broke his ribs and treated him generally with contumely. Charley Allen. Practising law in St. Louis. His son 52 CLASS OF ’75 and son-in-law were in the service, and he is still the same singing evangelist of good cheer as ever. Charles H. Botsford. After a silence of ten years, word came to the Secretary on June 12 that he was on his way from Italy and would attend the Reunion, which he did, arriving late Saturday evening having travelled four thousand miles. Botsford makes his home in Italy and is engaged in various commercial enterprises. He has children and grandchildren and success has crowned his labors. He had many things to say about the New Europe and its vast economical problems. 5. W. Bradford. Pebbles surprised us at the Forty- fifth with a very eloquent address on Patriotism and Good Citizenship and we made up our minds that he had been making good use of the forty years, during which he abstained from attending Reunions, poling for the greatest effort of his life and he “tore.” A. 5. Brown. Practising law in New York and run- ning a farm in New Jersey. James Edward Burr. Died April 6, 1924. One thing Burr did was to keep us pretty well informed of his movements during his life and we know that he de- voted himself to his profession. He missed coming to the Forty-fifth but looked forward to coming to the Fiftieth with much enthusiasm. Rev. John P. Campbell. Resigned his pastorate in PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 53 Baltimore in 1918 after forty years of service. He is Director of the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Craig B. Cross. Has retired from the activities of the ministry and is living in Oxford, Pa. Rev. Dr. Allen M. Dulles. Professor of Theism and Apologetics at the Auburn Seminary where they have almost as many students as they have professors. George R. Elder. Practising law in Leadville with his son as a partner. His son served in the war and was mustered out a captain of infantry. “Chippy” got quite wrought up over receiving his “letter’’ for serving on the first football team to play Yale and sent to the meeting of the “remnants” of the two teams a long telegram narrating his work on that glorious day. Judge Endlich. Retired in 1925 as President Judge of the Twenty-third Judicial District of Pennsylvania, honored and respected by all men. He lives and prac- tises in Reading, Pa. Arch Bishop Eldredge. President Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad. Marquette, Mich. Died in New York City suddenly September 9, 1918. The “Senator” did not long survive the Fortieth Reunion which he attended and enjoyed very much. He was a very prominent lawyer in Michigan, gradually going more and more into railroad law. He became the 54 CLASS OF ’%5 Counsel and later the President of the above men- tioned railroad. He had a very happy disposition and was most successful in his business ventures. He was married, had three children, one son and two daugh- ters; his son, Ralph, graduated from Princeton, served in the War, studied law. Eldredge delighted in coming back to Princeton and renewing the compan- ionship of his college days. Rev. A. Frederick. Died May 1918 in Corinth, N.Y. He was retired. Two sons graduated from Princeton. Rev. D. Charles Noble Frost, Avon, N.Y. Jack served in the Avon pastorate for ten years, resigning in 1919. He has since then lived quietly and happily as Emeritus Pastor of his old church. Rev. Dr. George Washington Gallagher, D.D. Died in Baltimore, July 17, 1921, after a long sickness with paralysis. Joseph D. Gallagher. Died May 20, 1919, at Glen Ridge, N.J. He was a tireless worker in his business (Vice-President of the American Brake Shoe and Foundry Company) which grew to huge proportions, owing to large Russian contracts for munitions in the early days of the War, and also with the United States during later years. A. P. Garrabrant. Died October 9, 1918. His latter PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 55 days were saddened by his blindness which curtailed his usefulness. Bolton Hall is continuing in his altruistic work. The following list is what he is interested in: (1) Free Acres. (2) A plan to get young people to write to the editor. (3) A scheme to establish a big settlement where any young man can get work. (4) An associa- tion to introduce the Pittsburg plan of taxation. George Bruce Halsted. Died March 16, 1922. Hal- sted’s death was pathetic; his later years seemed to be a progressive decline of his powers and ability, and his son wrote me that he had run an electric repair shop in Greely just before he came East. I first heard from him after he came East when he had gone to a little hotel in Long Island where he went to recuperate after some operative work in the Roosevelt Hospital. He wrote me from there, and almost immediately I received word from Mrs. Halsted that he was desper- ately sick at the Presbyterian Hospital where Bolton visited him. I also received a letter from President Hibben suggesting that we, as a Class, go to his as- sistance. On the same day I saw the notice of his death in New York. Brown and the Secretary at- tended the funeral of one of the most brilliant gradu- ates from our Alma Mater. 56 CLASS OF °%5 Titles and Honorary Degrees GrorGE Bruce Hatstep, A.B., and A.M., (Princeton Univer- sity); Ph.D. (Johns Hopkins University); F.R.A.S.; Life Member of the London Mathematical Society; Sociétaire Perpétuel de la Société Mathématique de France; Member of the American Mathematical Society; Mitglied der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung; Socio Correspondiente de la Sociedad Cientifica Antonio Alzate; Member of the Royal Society of Arts; Trustee of the Ohio Academy of Science; Member of the Washington Academy of Sciences; Member of the Washington Association of New Jersey; Phi Beta Kappa (Alpha of Md.); Fellow and Past-President of the Texas Academy of Science; Life Member of the Mathematical Asso- ciation (London); Member of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education; Fellow and Past Vice-President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; Membre d’Honneur du Comité Lobatchefsky (Russia); Socio Corresponsal de la Sociedad de Geografia y Estadistica; Co- Editor Le Matematiche Pure ed Applicate (Italy); Socio Per- petuo del Circolo Matematico di Palermo; Member of the Advisory Council of the Simplified Spelling Board; Socio Fon- datore Honorario per le Scienze Matematiche, Universita Popolare, Tempio (Italy); Member of the National Council of the National Economic League; Ex-Fellow of Princeton University; Twice Fellow of Johns Hopkins University; Inter- collegiate Prizeman; Collaborator (Mathematics) The Cen- tury Dictionary and Cyclopedia; Membre correspondant de la Société des sciences physiques et naturelles de Bordeaux. These are only some of his titles. Dr. T. W. Harvey. Secretary of the Class of ’75. In 1919 President of the Medical Society of New Jersey. Rev. James W. Hawkes. A missionary in Hamadan, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 57 Persia. He suffered many hardships and privations during the War, eventually being driven by the Turks and Kurds from Hamadan. He has, however, returned to his work there. Rev. Charles Herr retired from his Jersey City pas- torate in 1916. Later lived in New York City and Wayne, Pa., where he died on December 6, 1923. Dr. William Crawford Johnson is still practising medicine in his old home town of Frederick, Md., where he is the medical Jove, and he keeps the Secre- tary well informed about the queer things that happen to °75 men in Maryland. E. J. Kennard. Died February 10, 1920. He prac- tised law, farmed, and at the end was in the real estate business in Baltimore. He was not a very good cor- respondent and, consequently, we know little of his life. George M. Lanning. Lives in East Orange, N.J., and is in business in Newark. He has two sons, the elder, the Class Boy, is the Canadian Manager of the Prudential Insurance Co. I. H. Lionberger. Security Building, St. Louis, Mo. Residence, 37 Westmoreland Place. “‘Zach”’ practises law and writes essays on “de Senectute” which are read and enjoyed. He is rather cynical about college friendships and Reunions, but he reports good things of Charley Allen. Keeps sending sons to Princeton. 58 CLASS OF ’75 Growls at, but still loves us. The Class Secretary took a real vacation last summer and went with his family on the Mediterranean cruise. Almost the first man he met on the ship was Zach Lionberger taking the same trip with his son Arthur ’24. Zach had the time of his life and was the life of the ship. In two weeks he had conversed with 90 per cent of the five hundred pas- sengers, knew their various life histories and occa- sionally would confide to me his opinion of their char- acters. We had two months of real old Princeton bicker. Zach took part in everything, sports, hikes, donkey rides and all. Rev. W. B. Louderbough. Died May 18, 1919. His departure was sudden, but he had previously con- fessed to certain weaknesses indicating old age. He died in harness while conducting service in the old church that he had served so many years. He was fond of old ’75 and never failed to say so. Rev. John McElmoyle, Paoli, Pa. His last few years in Elkton were stormy ones as his reputation as a marrying parson brought him many clients from Pennsylvania and Delaware. He soon established a wide reputation in the local press, and eventually his clerical brethren took the matter up through the vari- ous governing bodies of the Church until it amounted to a persecution. His average yearly crop was a thou- sand marriages. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 59 Rev. Hector A. McLean died April 29, 1917. After many years in the old historic church of the Forks of the Brandywine, Pa., his latter days were darkened by a mental disorder the physical basis of which was the cause of his death. Rev. William Sidney Miller, D.D. Died May 18, 1916. Our dear Billy served as a pastor to many churches in and about Pittsburgh, retiring in 1913 because of ill-health. Dr. Henry Moffat. Our worthy President, our peer- less leader, practises medicine in Yonkers, dandles his grandchildren on his knee, smokes his pipe and thanks God he is a graduate of Princeton, vintage of ’75 and not as other men. Has two grandchildren. R. D. Morrow is in active business in Wilmington, Del. He keeps in close touch with Princeton and we hear from him regularly. ‘Rev. Arthur Newman, D.D. Died in Bridgehamp- ton, N.Y., after forty years of uninterrupted services as pastor. A notable record, he died the same old blue presbyterian that he had always been. James S. Nickerson. Died May 2, 1916. Nick was back at the Fortieth after a lapse of thirty years. He told a tale of a busy life at home and abroad, with a very small crop of moss but wonderful experience. Frank Hunter Norton. Died, but no word has come to the Secretary since 1915. 60 CLASS OF ’75 Hon. James Pennewill, L.L.D., is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Delaware, a wonderful example of an upright and honest judge. “Jim” is as human as he always was, and while we don’t see him often enough he means well and really wants to come back and renew the old times. Rev. John S. Plumer, D.D. After preaching a long time in Baltimore he retired and settled in his old home Cadiz, Ohio. Mrs. Plumer’s death unsettled the old fellow so much that he is again preaching in Gibsonia, Pa. J. E. Ramsey is living in Swarthmore, Pa. He is also a banker in several banks; has a most charming family and keeps regularly in touch with the old Class al- though it is many years since he and Dickey lived up at the top of Reunion. Samuel C. Rea died on his way home from the Forty-fifth Reunion, but he had fulfilled the dream of his life, to bring his family to the old Princeton that he loved so much. Patterson A. Reese. Died February 1, 1916. He practised law, with his son as a partner, up to the time of his death. Robert C. Rodgers. Died May 2, 1920, dying very suddenly just after he had written to the Secretary that he could not attend the Forty-fifth. Charles Scribner. “‘Scrib” is just about as communi- PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 61 cative to the Class Secretary as to his own personal accomplishments, as he is to ““Who’s Who,” which is not saying much. So far as I can see he has had the fullest life of any of us, I do not mean in material af- fairs alone, but in the wonderful association he has had with the great intellectuals of the world. It takes one’s breath away to read of the many who have con- fided the publication of their mental products to his hands. Princeton is one of his hobbies and the Class of °75 he cherishes with a very practical love. Fred Snow is still practising law in New York when he is near there. Practically retired, he spends his winters in the Carolinas and his summers on Long Island. He supports the Class faithfully, but does not venture to come to see us very often. John C. Ten Eyck. Lawyer, politician and at times a philosopher. He has as many notions today about golf as he had fifty years ago about Cow Warren trapping baseballs. He has some vagaries, but Doc. Moffat keeps him in hand most of the time. Walter H. Underwood. Practising law in New York. Charles R. Williams lives in Princeton retired from the worries and conflicts of life, playing occasionally upon his lute in that most charming environment. Most of us, who only see Princeton at intervals and with the crowd of returning alumni, forget the peace and charm of the sleepy old village noted even in the 62 CLASS OF ’75 early days of the Republic in the interesting letters of the student, William Patterson, quondam Governor of New Jersey. Dudley G. Wooten. Practised law, delivered politi- cal addresses, wrote law books, served as Judge both in Texas and Seattle. In 1924 he accepted appoint- ment as Professor of Law in Notre Dame University, Notre Dame, Ind. Martin Dasher Wylly. Died January 31, 1916. Dasher was connected with the Moses Taylor Estate as manager for many years previous to his death. He was paralyzed just before our Fortieth anniversary and for ten years we have had to do without him, than whom no classmate ever took more interest in the Class and in old Princeton. ZACH’S POEM Ah Tam, Your bugle sounds its last sad call To muster us for just a little while And then break ranks for ever more. The Class of Seventy-five, Where is it now? Who will distinguish mid the crowd What was himself? Are we the boys of that good time Less sadly phantom of ourselves Than they we call the dead? The faces round the board Most strange will seem Not smooth but deeply marked By Time’s relentless plow. We'll search in vain for friends Using the old familiar campus calls, But they we seek will make no answer To our halloo: Or if we hear a voice or see a form Which once we knew so well We shall but dream. Alas that it cannot be otherwise! 64 CLASS OF ’75 And yet we still are boys in this: Remembering what once we were The old, old amity will swift revive, Assert its sway, And then for just a little while We'll love again as we did then, And maybe drink a toast To long ago When we were boys And meant what’s right And knew no ill And stern resolved to make the world A better place for us and men: A final toast to that dim once That knew no fears nor griefs nor doubts But only hopes and loves. And after we have drained the glass To what we were long long ago, To youth that once was ours, We'll part and say goodnight Never to meet again.

THE FIFTIETH REUNION PRINCETON UNIVERSITY NatTionaAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Graduate Council Office of the Secretary PRINCETON NEW JERSEY V. LANSING COLLINS June 24, 1925 Dr. Thomas W. Harvey, 59 Main Street Orange, New Jersey Dear Si: This 1s to inform you officially that the Class of 1875 won the 1901 Attendance Trophy for the year 1925. With warmest congratulations, Sincerely yours, V. Lansine Couns Secretary 66 CLASS OF ’75 This letter, showing the attendance of the Class at its Fiftieth Reunion, justifies all the efforts that were made to insure its success. The percentage was 64.5. Headquarters were opened on Friday June 12, 1925. The following were present during the Reunion: Allen Plumer Elder Hall C. Williams Ramsey Harvey Ten Eyck Bradford Moffat Frost Brown Scribner Dulles Johnson Morrow Campbell McElmoyle Cross Botsford Class meeting was called to order by President Moffat at six-thirty o’clock. The minutes of the 1920 Reunion were read and approved. The Secretary’s re- port was read. Secretary’s Report Since the meeting in June 1920 the class business has pro- gressed along the familiar way, the Secretary sending out a letter to everyone at least once a year. On June 19, 1921, the date of the laying of the cornerstone of Pyne Hall, the Class was represented and joined the other Classes in laying flowers on Mr. Pyne’s grave in Princeton Cemetery. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 67 At the suggestion of the Graduate Council, January 22, 1923, the Class sent a birthday greeting to Dr. Patton on his eightieth birthday. He was living in Bermuda at the time and sent an ap- preciative letter of thanks which the Secretary has not been able to read. Since the present Secretary took office, in April 1885, he has been in correspondence with most of the members of the Class during the intervening forty years, and has their letters on file, and, of many of those who have gone on, he has various obitu- aries and notices. He also has on file some record of the things that they have done. This record is far from complete. Some very curious developments have occurred during the fifty years. Men who apparently were careless, indifferent or even dissipated as undergraduates have become steady, upright citi- zens, doing their share of the world’s work in an honorable fash- ion and living sane, clean lives. Others pursued the same careless or reckless life after graduation as before, dropping to a lower level and went west unhonored and unsung. Others, above criti- cism as undergraduates, went downhill very rapidly when on their own. Some of these recovered and made splendid men, ac- complishing much for themselves and their fellowmen. The large majority of the Class have been good citizens, have done the work that came to them most creditably and they have left, and will leave, behind them fragrant memories of their virtues, and, departing, take with them the consciousness that the world is better for their living in it. The physical side of the story is interesting: Of the first ten men of the Class at graduation six are living. Of the first twenty names eight are dead. Of the last ten two are living. But one of the last twenty could be called athletic, while ten of the first twenty were given to athletics. 68 CLASS OF °75 Of the eighteen ministers seven are living, but all are retired except Dulles, although Plumer has taken up pastoral work again. Of the thirty lawyers twelve are living and working more or less; two are Judges and Wooten is Professor of Law at Notre Dame University. Of the eleven doctors five are living and working. There are thirty names on the mailing list. Six of them respond only at long intervals. There are twenty of them who keep up their interest in the Class and Princeton by writing to the Secre- tary now and then. There have been 125 children reported to the Secretary. I do not know how many are living. After this report was read Ten Eyck stepped for- ward and made an admirable presentation address, giving to the Secretary a very handsome stop watch with the following inscription: “From the survivors of Princeton 1875 to Thomas W. Harvey in remem- brance of his fifty years of love and service.” This was entirely too much for the Secretary who could only express his thanks in feeble and broken, yet heartfelt, phrases. Letters were read from Pennewill, Endlich and Lionberger. At seven-thirty o’clock dinner was served. About nine o’clock President Hibben stopped in and gave a short address of welcome and congratula- tions. PRINCETON UNIVERSITY 69 C. Williams read a poem entitled “‘Verses, by Charles Richard Williams. Read at the Dinner of the Class of ’75 commemorating the Fiftieth Anniversary of Graduation.”’ Lantern slides of the Class groups taken during the undergraduate years, old views of Princeton, pictures of reunions and some of the ’74 slides were shown. Scribner gave an address on the state of the Univer- sity, the new phases of study and the plans of the ad- ministration for the future. The following resolution was offered by Allen: “Re- solved that the class of ’75, at the Fiftieth anniversary of its graduation, register their approval of the work of President Hibben and his associates in the admin- istration of the affairs of Princeton University and that we also express our enthusiastic appreciation of the part that our classmate, Charles Scribner, has taken in pushing their work to a success.” Much discussion followed with the result that at the end everyone was believing the same as at the beginning. On Saturday the class picture was taken at head- quarters. At noon the class took luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams at their residence on Cleveland Lane, a very delightful repast in a charm- ing environment. The President presented a shopping 70 CLASS OF °75 bag to Mrs. Williams, a gift from the class in appre- ciation of her many acts of courteous hospitality. At one o’clock the Class marched to the campus, led by its band, and thence to the University Field where we had the satisfaction of seeing Princeton win. Sunday and Monday were devoted to seeing the New Princeton. Headquarters were closed Monday afternoon, Scribner, Botsford and Plumer being the last to leave. On Tuesday Scribner received the honorary degree of Litt.D. from his Alma Mater in recognition of the position he has attained in his chosen calling and for his loyalty to Princeton. “Like clouds that rake the mountain summits Or waves that own no curbing hand, So fast has brother followed brother, From sunlight to the sunless land.” The necrology for the last ten years is as follows: Fifteen died between 1915 and 1920 M.
