BALTIMORE, MD. INTRODUCTORY In compiling" this Record of the various fortunes of the members of the Class during the past ten years your Committee has endeavored to preserve the individuality of each report as far as possible by giving it in its original form. VVe regret that the excessive modesty of certain members has supplied us with such meagre records and that we have not been able to live up to our ambition of giving at least the address and some brief account of every living member of the Class. We have labored diligently towards this end because we believe that every man in the Class feels some interest in the career of every other man, even though the feeling be nothing more than curiosity to learn whether in ten years he has turned out better or worse than an association with him of four years or less gave reason to expect. Does the history of the first ten years spent in "the wide, wide world" by the Class of 1 88 1, Princeton College, tend to show that a college edu- cation pays? In ten years more this question will begin to acquire a practical importance for those who were our foremost competitors for the Class Cup. iii But whatever the fortunes of her children there can be no dor.bt as to the prosperity of our Ahiia Mater, and the record of the changes during the past ten years cannot fail to be noted with pride by every loyal son of Princeton. The description of the Class Memorial by Prof. Mar- quand together with the report of the Memorial Commit- tee and the pictures of the casts, which by the courtesy of the Committee we are able to present, all unite to assure us of a just pride in our Memorial and its substantial value to the College. An account of the Decennial Reunion will be of interest to all who were unable to be present. But the changes of the years have brought with them loss as well as gain, sorrow as well as rejoicing, and we mourn the death of nine classmates who graduated with us ten years ago. The death of our President, beyond ques- tion our most representative man, fell like a blow on every member of the Class and the brilliant promise of the career of Bruce made his early death a peculiar loss. In concluding these introductory remarks the Com- mittee desires to express again to the Memorial Committee appreciation of its kindness in having prepared the pic- tures of the various pieces and groups of the Memorial Collection, and to Prof. Marquand thanks for the interest- ing d escription of the Collection he has so kindly pre- pared for the benefit of the Class. The Committee also desires to acknowledge the kindness of Messrs. Blyden- burgh and Munn in furnishing much valuable information contained in the sketcji of the College during the past ten iv years, and to thank several members of the Class for hav- ing honored so generously the drafts made upon their time in hunting up the lost and strayed, stirring upthedila- tory and obtaining information about the dumb. As the work of gathering materials for the Record went on your Committee has grown more and more grateful to those who sent news of themselves and sent that news promptly. J. Leverett Moore Thomas D.

P. " In the fall of 'Si I accepted the posi- tion of Chief Engineer of a contracting company, but the spring following, my health being poor, I gave up the place and after a few weeks rest started for Dakota to re- cuperate. On the way I picked up " Dad " Walsh, who was then living in St. Paul, and we journied together to Miles City, Mont., at that time the end of the N. P. R. R. I will not attempt to describe our ludicrous adven- tures, for Walsh might object as he has now settled down in life and become the dignified and happy father of a young son and heir. [How about yourself, Frank ?J Suf- fice it to say that we returned safely to civilization and I stopped at Jamestown, Dak., while "Hob " returned to his home in St. Paul. Soon after I came down to I^isbon and started the Ransom County Bank, but sold it out dur- ing the following winter and engaged in the Real Estate and Loan business. Since leaving College I had spent all my spare time in studying law, and about this time I was admitted to practice in the District, and subsequently in the Supreme Court. I was married Sept. i, i8S6, to Miss Minnie L. Taft at her home in Ballston Spa., N. Y. and on Aug. 3, '87, a little daughter was born to us. In the fall of i8S6 I was elected County Judge of Ran- som County, but after serving out my term declined a re- nomination and formed a partnership for the practice of law under the firm name of Rouke & Allen. Since set- tling in Lisbon I have filled the offices of City Clerk, Alderman, County Justice of the Peace, Commissioner of Insanity, County Judge and County Surveyor." Archer, J. R. No report. We have understood that he is still engaged in mining in Virginia. Armstrong, A. C, Jr. " 1881-2 Fellow of Prince- ton College, 1882-5 student in Princeton Theological Seminary, 1885-6 studied at the University of Berlin, 1886-7 Associate Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Princeton Theological Seminary, 1887-8 Assistant Editor of the New Princeton Review, and Instructor in History, Princeton College, from 1888 Professor of Philosophy in Wesleyan University. Married in Princeton, Sept. 6, 1888, Miss Mabel . Chester Murray, daughter of Rev. Dr. James O. Murray, Professor of English Literature in Princeton College and Dean of the Faculty. A son, Andrew Campbell Arm- strong, 3rd, was born June 5th, 1890; and died at Prince- ton April loth, 1 89 1. In June, 1889, was elected member of Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity, Wesleyan Chapter. I have published a num- ber of articles in reviews and newspapers, but they have been mostly forgotten and none are of permanent value." Bacot, W. S. After graduation turned his atten- tion wholly to Civil Engineering, preparatory to which he had already had some special training in the School of Science, as a special student under Prof. McMillan, and agreeably to his advice made a special study of Hydraulic Engineering. Has since been engaged in the practice of this branch in connection with other work .from 1881 down to the jjresent time, acting as Assistant and Chief Engineer in the construction of various water-works, tun- nels, etc. Was appointed Chief Engineer of County Roads, Richmond Co., N. Y. on July 8th, 1890, and still holds the position. Is also Engineer of Roads in the vil- lage of Lenox, Mass., and Asst. Engineer City of Albany New Water supply. Is a member of the American Society of Civil En- gineers, devoted to his profession, and doing well in it. Still remains single. jgARRET, C. R. No report. Opened a private banking house in Louisville, Ky., about four years ago, which failed last Fall. Went abroad and when last heard of was in India. Is still unmarried. Bedell, F. L. "On graduating from College I took up the study of the law, but after an argument with Black- stone of more than two years duration, I became con- vinced that there was little room, especially at the top, for any more legal lights to shine in this community. I therefore blew mine out and accepted the position of private secretary to the junior partner in an importing house in New York City. Here I remained until January 18S5, when I resigned to accept a position with the Pru- dential Insurance Company, in which I became Asst. Actuary, and afterwards manager of the Claim Depart- ment, the position I still hold. In January, 1886, I was married to Miss Matilda Webb, of Newark. We lost an infant daughter, and ha\-e one child living, a boy of four, who is a loyal friend of Princeton, and already has gone into active training for the Foot-ball Team of 1905." Blydenburgh, B. B. "On leaving College I entered the Columbia College Law School and graduated there in 1883. The following year I was admitted to the New York bar, and have since practiced in New York, having my office at in Broadway. I am unmarried." Bradford, T. B., is a physician. Graduated from Univ. of Penn. in '84. Spent a year and a half as resi- dent in the Episcopal Hospital of Philadelphia, with a year's special course in Surgery and Gynsecology in Univ. of Penn. Hospital. Is now Surgeon to the Delaware Hospital. Was married Dec. i8th, 1888, at Wilmington, Del., to Miss Helen Rogers. One child, Thomas Budd, Jr., born Feb. 4th, 1890. - Brant, H. L. Graduated at Columbia College Law School in 1884. After serving a clerkship of four years in New York, opened an office, and began the practice of the law, which is his present occupation. Married to Miss Nellie L. Chase, at Newark, N. J., Nov. 26th, 1885, Two children, Clifford Augustus, born Dec. nth, 1887, Hazel Chase, June 23rd, 1890. Has not been called upon to fill any "position of honor or trust", aside from that of Pater Familias, and offices in various religious and beneficial organizations. Breckinridge, D. C. "After graduating studied Law and practiced the same for 4^ years with my Father in St. Louis. Two years ago came to New York, entered the partnership of Martin & Breckinridge, and on the death of my partner having succeeded to the business, am now carrying it on myself r.nder the partnership name. My business deals with Railway Supplies and Equipment, Railroad Securities, and the construction of Railways, both Steam and Street, Horse and Electric. Am still unfortunately single, though having tried in vain to be otherwise — a sad commentary on the taste of the gentler sex. Have never filled any position of honor, never been guilty of writing a book, and have done noth- ing to make my Class proud of me, except to eat a very good dinner at the last Alumni Banquet here." Brown, S. "My profession is law (I am glad you did not ask for a <:(?//fession), and I am Master in Chancery of United States Circuit Court for Southern District of Illinois. I was married April 28th, 1886, to Miss Kate Logan Hay, and have one child, a boy, Milton Hay, born April 2nd, 1 83 7." Adam Todd Bruce died of fever at Ismailia, Egypt, Feb. 9th, 1887, in the twenty-eighth year of his age. The year after graduation he took a position in the Laurenceville School, and part of his instruction being in Natural History, his attention was turned to ijiology. He was a member of the Western Expedition of '82, and in the fall returned to Princeton as Demonstrator in Com- parative Anatomy. The next year he was elected a Fel- low of the Johns Hopkins University, and Fellow by Courtesy in 1885. He took his degree as Doctor of Philosophy in June 1886, and during the following sum- mer was appointed Instructor in Osteology and Mam- malian Anatomy in the University. He entered on his work with great energy and enthusiasm, but this fresh re- sponsibility, added to the labors of original research, overtaxed his strength, and towards the close of Novem- ber he was obliged to give up all work for a time, and started with his family on an extended tour in search of rest and recuperation. After remaining for some time in London he decided upon a voyage to Egypt through the Straits and made the trip by himself, joining his family, who had come by land, at Alexandria, whence they all went to Cairo and Ismailia. At the latter place he was attacked by fever — and the end came. The following is a brief account of a largely attended meeting of Bruce 's friends and pupils in the Biological Lecture Room of the Johns Hopkins University, Prof, Martin took the Chair, and among other remarks said : "Surely no death is so sad as that of a young man, who has just completed seven or eight years of hard work at college and university, and is beginning to enjoy the fruits of his labors. Such was the death which is the occasion of this meeting. Dr. Bruce 's researches as published* are known to most of you. They are all morphological and for the most part connected with arthropod embryology; although last Summer, while at Wood's Holl, he performed and published important work in regard to the development of the Squid. As regards his work on the early embryology of Lisects, Dr. Brooks told me that Bruce had discovered more than all previous workers on the subject put together. During the earlier months of this session he was engaged in preparing in common with Dr. Brooks a monograph on the development of the King Crab. Though devoted to morphological work Bruce was not narrow in his sympathies or pursuits. He had a great fondness for English literature, especially the older litera- For list of published articles, see/. H. U. Circulars No. 54. 6 ture, and had a very extensive knowledge of it. At Prince- ton his studies were largely philosophical while he was an undergraduate, and after coming here he did considerable psychological work under the direction of Prof. Stanley Hall. His handsome vigorous frame, his bright pleasant face, his manly honest look made all who met him in- clined at once to like him ; and those who knew him esteemed him more the more they knew him. So that between those who loved him for himself, and those who esteemed him for his work and those who were his com- rades in athletics, he had among us a very large number of friends, representing many departments and many in- terest in the University." Ur. Kimball, who had been a classmate of Dr. Bruce at Princeton, then said a few words in regard to the esteem in which Dr. Bruce had there been held, and pro- posed the adoption of the following preamble and resolu- tions : IVhcreas, We have learned with profound sorrow of the death of Dr. Adam T. Bruce, the friend of all and the instructor of many of us, — and IVhcreas, He had while here especially endeared him- self to us by his unfailing kindness and courtesy. — be it Resolved, That, assembled here today, in love of the memory of the pleasant companionship which existed be- tween him and us in all relations, official and personal, we hereby express our grief that he was not spared to return among us, — and Resolved, That we tender to his immediate friends and family our sincere sympathy in their bereavement, — and Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be for- warded to the Editor of the University Circulars, to the 7 Faculty of Princeton College, and to the family of Dr. Bruce. The following gentlemen also spoke of the high re- gard and affection with which they remembered Dr. Bruce, viz.: Mr. Riggs, Prof. Hall, Mr. Burton and Pres. Oilman * It was suggested in a letter by Dr. Brooks, who at the time was in Nassau, that the publication of Bruce 's thesis on "The Germ-Layers of Inserts and Arachnids" would be the best testimonial to the value of his investigations. Accordingly through the kindness of friends in the Uni- versity, Princeton and elsewhere, the volume appeared in February 1888, with an introduction by Dr. Brooks. In May 1887 the Trustees of the University accepted from the hands of Bruce's mother the sum of Sio,ooo to be used in founding as a memorial "The Adam T. Bruce Fellowship in Biology". Butler, C. H. "I am an attorney and counsellor at law practicing in the City of New York, and member of the firm of Holt & Butler, organized in 1884. I was married at Yonkers, N. Y., November 21st, 1882 to Miss Marcia Flagg and have three children, all living, viz., Ethan Flagg, born January 4, 1884, Marcia Flagg, born July 4, 1886, Charles Marshall, born December 28, 1887. Beyond having served for two years as Alderman for the Third Ward of the City of Yonkers, I have not filled any political position. I have not written a book, made any important discovery or done anything to my knowl- edge requiring the Class to erect a monument to my memory." 'Taken horn Johns Hopkins University Circulars, No. 57, April, 1887. 8 /^AULDWELL, T. W. "Since leaving College I have given my time to the study and practice of the law in New York State. On Oct. 21, 18S4, I was married in New York to Miss Caroline S. Johnson, of that City. We have one child, Elizabeth M., born Jan. 22, 1888." CoRV, L. No report. Is a member of firm of Church &. Cory, lawyers, Fresno, California. Married Oct. 17, 1882, to Miss Carrie A. Martin. Three children.

Was in office of Corporation Counsel of New York City for about three years. Cowan, J. F. "I came to Butte, Montana, Sep- tember 1 88 1 and engaged in the livery business for four years. I then bought some placer mining ground and water rights near Butte, and have since engaged in min- ing, and supplying the mills and smelters with coal and wood. The water rights became quite valuable and were sold last fall at a good advance. I am a member of the City Council and have managed to escape the penitentiary thus far. I have become a greater "gun-crank" even than when I was in College and won the Championship Cup of Montana last August in Helena, scoring 92 birds out of 100. I was married July 10, 1883 to Miss Stella Joslin in Oregon, Mo., and have three children, one boy and two girls. They can all give "the tiger" and the boy practices drop-kicks with his sisters' hat and keeps everybody in the house dodging his "out-curves". So you see I am training him to be a true Princetonian." CoYLE, J. L. "My business is insurance. Was formerly for several years a pedagogue. Am a widower at present, but intend to marry again in a few months. I was married in 1885, and my wife died in 1886. I have one daughter. My wife's maiden name was Clara B. Vanderhoof. Child's name Clara, born Sept. 30, 1886. Am a Committee on R. Rs., and call on all friends to force R. Rs. to give decent accommodations and run trains on time." Craven, C. E. "For two years after leaving Col- lege I taught in the York Collegiate Institute, York, Pa., and then entered the Seminary at Princeton in the Class of '86. I was ordained June 15, '86 pastor of the Pres- byterian Church of Birmingham, Pa., were I remained until the fall of '88, when I came to my present charge, the Central Presbyterian Church, Downingtown, Pa. I was married in York, Pa., Dec. 28, 1886 to Miss Anna Schenck McDougall and have two little daughters, Virginia Coryell, born Nov. 8th, '87, and Sarah Laudreth, born Oct. i8th, '89." Charlie was one of the Lynde Debate judges this year. — Eds. Edward F. Crosbv died at Helena, Montana, May 16, 1890 in the thirty-second year of his age. Crosby studied law in Newport, R. I., and was ad- mitted to the Bar there and afterwards in New York. He went to Helena, Mont., and entered the employ of the First National Bank. He also continued to practice law and undertook some journalistic work, as correspondent for some of the newspapers there and in New York ; a series of his letters from Alaska were extensively copied throughout the country. Later he went into Real Estate operations. He enjoyed the confidence of the community in which he lived and died leaving many friends. He married in Helena the daughter of the Right Rev. I.eigh R. Brewer, Episcopal Bishop of Montana, and his wife and child, a little girl, .survive him. "PVANFORTH, C. "My business is that of a raw silk im- porter, with the firm of Wm. Ryle&i Co. Was mar- ried April 8, 1886, at Paterson, N, J., to Claudia E. Greppo. Have two children, Charles Ryle, born Jan. 21, 1887, and Claudia, born July 18, 1888." Darden, W. H. "My profession has been the Gos- pel Ministry. After completing my studies at the San Francisco Theological Seminary I took charge of three churches near here, — a Presbyterian Home Missionary circuit. Three years later, the field opened up here at Petaluma, and we organized a church, to which I was called ; and here, in spite of the changes so common on this coast among our churches, I have remained. We have received 150 members into this church, and still we number only 80. This will give you some idea of the constant changes that are going on in this Western world. I was married April 16, 1884, to Miss Fanny D. Barlow. We have two children, Rena Elizabeth, born Jan. 7, 1888, and William Earl, born March 14, 1890. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to attend the Decennial Reunion." Davis, F. M. "My history since leaving Princeton has been uneventful. I did not study a profession, but immediately after graduation went into the machinery business in Liberty St. N. Y. City. There I remained for 5^ years, where I entered the house of H. G. Craig & Co., Commission Merchants, 132 Nassau St., N. Y., with whom I still continue, for it would be extremely difficult to find a more agreeable position. Entered into the married condition Feb. 7, 1884 with Miss Augusta M. Stalker, and am the proud father of two fine boys, Raymond Foster, born April 25, 1885 and Charles Moreau Jr., born April 7, 1888. They are both bound for Princeton and will reach it I hope in due time. Have not written a book, nor made a discovery, ex- cept that the married state is far better than the single. Have occupied several positions in the church, in socie- ties, etc., and even dabbled a little in politics, but have gained no reputation outside of the tov/n in which I reside and not very much in it." Davis, W. C. "I left Princeton College in June, 1879. In the fall of that year I entered the law office of Hon. Andrew Reed, at Levvistown, Pa., as a student, and was admitted to practice in the courts of Pennsylvania in August, 1 88 1. I then removed to New York City, — and served a further apprenticeship to the profession in the office of Walker, Cummins ewisburg, 36 Pa., and am now in my third year at South Bethlehem, Pa. (It is true that in the above statement the sum of the parts does not equal the whole, but I am not writing for the special benefit of our mathematicians.) In Germany I was a student of Classical Philology, chiefly Greek; at Marietta and Lewisburg, I filled temporarily the Greek chairs in Marietta College and Bucknell University ; at Allegheny, I coached boys for Princeton, Yale and Har- vard — two of my boys graduated this year from Prince- ton ; and at South Bethlehem, I am Professor of Greek in Lehigh University, and also Secretary of the Faculty — an office which bears more onus than honor. I was married in Brooklyn, November 26, 1888 to Miss Anna Green MacLaren. A Princeton Trustee as- sisted in the ceremony, my best man was from '86 and my ushers included four '81 men and one each from '?>i, '86, '90, and '91. I have no candidate for future foot-ball — or classical — honors at Princeton, but Miss Elizabeth Mac- Laren Robinson, born February 8, 1890, will be taught to look upon the Orange and Black as her own colors." Robinson, W. F. "After leaving college, I entered the Albany Medical College at Albany, N. Y. graduating in 1884. I practiced medicine in Albany, being associated with my brother-in-law. Dr. J. S. Delavan, and at his death continued practice alone until June '87, when I went to Europe in order to study a specialty. It seemed clear to me that the future of medicine lay in specialism and I chose for my own, the subject of nervous diseases, for which I had always had a special fondness. I pursued the study of my specialty in all the principal clinics of Europe, finding unusual advantages in Vienna where I obtained the position of Voluntary Assistant in the two 37 large nervous Clinics and also in the Clinic for the In- sane. I became much interested in the subject of hypnot- ism and saw all that was done in this curious science, both at Paris and at Nancy. I am convinced that there is a great deal in it, but there is no probability of its ever coming into use for therapeutic purposes, on account of the uncertainty of its action, the attendant dangers and numerous other reasons. It will probably always remain what it now is — a scientific curiosity. When I returned home in August 1890, I spent a short time in visiting and in October of the same year I reopened my office in Albany for the practice of my specialty which is my occupation at the present time. I am neither married nor engaged." RoDGERS, A S. "The year after graduation I taught in the Miami Classical School, near Cincinnati. In the fall "of '82 I began the study of law at my home, and finishing my studies at the Law School of Cincinnati, was admitted to the Bar in the spring of '85. Since then, as is the case with most young lawyers, my occupation and business has been more or less. The only positions of honor and trust that I have filled are those of Judge of Elections in my ward, and god-father to MacDermont's boy — a twin. I have written no books, made no discoveries and the only reason I can give why my Class should be proud of me is that in my profession I have charged all that the traffic would bear, and have paid my honest debts. I am still unmarried and prospects are nil.'" RoSEBERRY, F. M. "Immediately after my gradua- tion from College, I studied law in my brother's office in Belvidere, N. J., until November, when I cast in my lot with the West and entered the Law Department of the 38 University of Iowa, from which I graduated in '8;^. On my return to Iowa after a visit to my former home in New Jersey, I opened a law office in Lemars, Plymouth Co., Iowa, where I have practiced my chosen profession and where I expect to reside in the future. In September, 1885 I married Miss Delia M. Page and we have one child, a boy, Clarence Depue, now four years old. The world has dealt kindly with me and mine ; I am doing well, enjoying good health, and would be pleased to meet any of my Classmates at my home. I have not seen more than four or five members of '81 since the day we graduated." Adrian Scharff died at Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 2, 1890, aged 30 years. " When his father lay dying he called to his bedside his oldest son, Adrian, then scarcely nine years old, and gave him a charge concerning the entire family. He was to care for and comfort his mother, and be an example and a father to his younger brothers and sisters. Into this inheritance of care and responsibility he entered manfully, and while life lasted his first anxiety seemed to be to fulfil to the uttermost this trust. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1884, and practiced in the local courts of Newark, until in 1888 he became examiner of claims and auditor for the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance Co. of New York. He was em- ployed as their attorney, with large responsibility, until the time of his death at Nashville, Tenn., where he had opened an office for the company, with the intention of making his home in that city. He was active in church work, particularly among the young. While working in this direction he organized 39 a Lend-a-Hand Club, met with the boys evenings, taught them how to carry on their club meetings profitably, enter- tained them in his home. Their lives to-day are showing how truly they prized his example and his lessons in manly living." CCHMIDT, G. S. "I spent two years in Philadelphia reading law in the office of Atty-Genl. Brewster, and attending lectures in the Law Department of the Univ. of Pa. I was admitted to the Bar in June 1884 and have been practicing ever since. About two years ago I pur- chased a half interest in a manufacturing plant having for its object the heating of houses with steam or hot water, and also the manufacture and sale of Boilers, Radiators, etc., which business is carried on concurrently with my practice of the law. I have also been somewhat interested in politics, and for the past five years have been Chairman of the Republican County Committee, and represented the 19th Cong. Dist. of this State as Delegate to the Re- publican National Convention of 1888. I have been for some time a Director in one of our National Banks, and as a Director in our Street Railway Co., keep a watchful eye on the elusive nickel as it disappears in the slot. I am contemplating the matrimonial step shortly after our Reunion in June." "Dot" was married June 16, '91 to Miss Mary Richardson Small in York, Pa. — Eds. ScHNEiDEMAN, T. B. "Studied medicine after leav- ing Princeton. Upon graduation was resident physician in the Philadelphia Hospital for one year. Engaged in general practice for a few years, but have limited my prac- tice for the last three years to diseases of the eye. Am instructor in Ophthalmology, Philadelphia Polyclinic Col- 40 lege for Graduates in Medicine, assistant surgeon to Wills' Eye Hospital, oculist to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, and editor of the "Transactions of the Philadel- phia County Medical Society". Am not married nor engaged." ScRiBNER, A. H. "I fear I have little to add to my report in the Triennial Record. lam still a member of the firm of Charles Scribners' Sons, Publishers, 743-5 Broadway, N. Y. and my work in connection with it is most interesting and absorbing. Otherwise the ten years have been comparatively uneventful. My interest in Princeton is keen as ever and contrary to the general prophecy I find that the old college friendshijDS have only strengthened with time. I am neither married nor en- gaged." ScRiBNER, H. S. " The year after leaving college I spent in Saratoga teaching in a private school. I next taught the classics at the Sedgwick Institute, Gt. Barring- ton, Mass., for three years. In the fall of 1885, I en- tered the Johns Hopkins Univ. as a graduate student, and for three years pursued courses in Greek, Latin, Sanskrit and other subjects. In July, 1888, I went abroad, and put in six months' study at Gottingen, with some travel before and after. I came home and spent the following year teaching Latin at Lake Forest, 111. Last summer I accepted a call to the chair of Greek in the Western University of Pa., at Allegheny, and occupy that position at present. I am engaged to be married." Selheimer, H. C. "The first year after leaving college I passed at my old home, after which I went to Philadelphia and read law in the ofiice of Rufus E. Shap- ley, Esq. I was admitted to the bar in Philadelphia May 41 3d, 1884. In May, 1885, I came to Birmingham, Ala., where I first entered upon the practice of my profession, and where I have since resided. After considerable strug- gle I have met with fair success, and am permanently located. I am still single and without any present inten- tion of changing this state of supposed blessedness. It would give me unbounded pleasure to be present at the Decennial Reunion, and you may be sure I shall make an effort to be there." Robert R. Shellabarger died of typhoid fever in Washington D. C. January 10, 1889 in the thirtieth year of his age. He was a member of the bar of the District of Colum- bia and junior member of the firm of Shellabarger & Wilson, in which his father was the senior partner. He was regarded as a young lawyer of exceptional brilliancy and promise.

"In my case the bald facts will, I think, suffice, saving the valuable space of the Record for those who can spin more thrilling yarns. After taking my degree of M. E., I spent three years in the practice of that profession at the Midvale Steel Works in Philadelphia. I then went abroad for over a year to regain my somewhat impaired health. On my return I spent two years in the Ordnance Works of the Bethlehem Iron Co. Am now back at Midvale. Have not startled the world by any wonderful inventions or marvellous piece of engineering, nor have I startled my friends by getting married, or even engaged . ' ' 42 Skinner, J. B. "I hardly know what my occupa- tion is. The enclosed cards, etc., will give you an idea of some of the matters I am interested in. There are some half-dozen others, but these are the main ones. I practiced law up to two years ago, as one of the attorneys of the B. & O. R. R. Co., and other large corporations, and think I can say with all due modesty, I had the best practice of any lawyer of my age (or ten years my senior) in Chicago. Married Feb. i, 1887, in Chicago. Wife's maiden name, Jane Lapham Barnard. No children. [Miss B. was niece of late U. S. Senator Lapham, of New York. — Eds.] Don't know of anything that would make the class proud of me, unless they should con- sider it something of a feat to get together somewhere between j^ and J^ million dollars in a short space of time."

Then I spent a year abroad walking the hospitals in London, Berlin and Vienna, and incidentally travel- ling about. On my return I settled in Allegheny City, Pa., where I remained for two years and a half, but not 43 liking my location there I bought a lot in Pittsburgh and built a residence with offices in which I hope to live and die. I hold the position of Lecturer on the Diseases of Children at the West Penn Medical College and have charge of the same department in the Dispensary con- nected with that institution. I am also Assistant Gynae- cologist to the Pittsburgh Free Dispensary. I have writ- ten a number of papers for different medical societies of which I am a member, some of which have been pub- lished.

"Since leaving college I spent two years in teaching school, three years in study at the Prince- ton Theological Seminary and five years in the Gospel Ministry. On May 13th, 1886 I was ordained to the min- istry by the Presbytery of West Jersey and also installed pastor of the Fairfield Presbyterian Church at Fairton, N. J.

"I regret that this sketch of my life cannot be either eventful or brilliant : it must be a plain statement or else untrue. After graduation I served my time as a law student in my father's office, graduated from Columbia College Law School and was admitted to the New Jersey bar in 1884. I at once entered into a partnership with my father, which continued till his death in 1886. In 1888 I formed a partnership with Edward M. Colie, and our practice im- proved rapidly in size and character; but the following year my health suddenly broke down and after a summer in the Adirondacks I came to Denver, Col. in November, 1S89. I spent ten months here making a short trip to California meanwhile, and grew very robust again. The climate, the rapid and substantial growth of this city, the energy of its citizens and the remarkable development of the whole state and region seemed to agree with, and charm me. I returned to my old home in Newark, N. J., closed up my business, and returned to Denver as my new home. I have been admitted to the bar of Colorado, am practicing law in Denver, and giving special attention to the placing of loans for Eastern clients and others upon 45 city real estate security. I am not married yet and have no prospects towards that delightful state." TowNSEND, G. G. " My occupation since leaving college has been Civil and Mining Engineering, and I am still at it.

"Graduated from Andover Theo- logical Seminary in the spring of 1884. Went immedi- ately to Huron, South Dakota, organized the First Congre- gational Church of that city, and built a beautiful church building. Returned to Andover Sem. in Sept. 1885, and began the advanced course. In Oct. 1886, I entered upon three months of pioneer missionary work in the interior of Arizona territory. Then preached eight months in Fresno, California. At an invitation from the State Committee of 47 the Y. M. C. A., I visited the colleges and leading academies of the State in the interest of religious work. Served as State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. for one year from Nov. ist, 1887. While preaching in San Francisco was summoned, in Feb. '89, to New Jersey to the death- bed of my father. Returning, was attracted, while stop- ping in Colorado, by a more needy field, and settled in Telluride, a mining camp in the Rockies 8,600 feet above sea level. Here was a population of 1,500, and no religi- ous services of any character within 45 miles. In two months I organized a church of 23 members representing seven denominations. Was married July 12, '89, to Miss Grace Scrafford, just graduated from the Monroe College of Oratory in Boston. Ruth Voorhees was born April 12, 1890. She is the first baby of Mrs. Voorhees' class, and has been remembered accordingly. In July, '90, we went to Denver.

Have one child, Alex- ander Robertson, born Oct. 6, 1890. Have attained no special distinction worthy of mention. Doesn't seem as though I was cut that way." Warren, H. D. "My business is the manufacture of rubber, and my occupation the management of the Com- 48 pany with which I am connected, and of which I am the principal stockholder. I have been in Toronto for four years, although I still retain my legal residence in Mont- clair, N. J., for voting purposes. Since leaving college, I have devoted myself assiduously to hard work — in a way that would have astonished "Sissy" Orris, who was once good enough to chill my soul with baneful predictions of an inevitably disgraceful future, unless I mended my ways in his blessed (ireek. I am carefully training up a young Warren, whom no doubt some future Princeton class will know, and possibly his tv/o sisters as well. From which you may safely infer that I am no bachelor ; but as for attempting to give any dates of ceremonials, anniversaries, etc., the treachery of my memory forbids. In personal appearance, the only distinguished and distinguishing feature to which I can lay claim, is the top of my head." Warren, T. D. "I continue to reside in the rural districts, and have read law books in an intermittent way. My admission to the bar would have to be prefaced by a change in my manner of life and habits of study. Have during the past two or three years assisted in the settlement of a few estates, thereby acquiring a moderate amount of experience and about the same amount of money. Have been a Justice of the Peace since Feb., 1SS5, and am the first Postmaster of the only known Spinnerville on earth, which was established — the P. O., not the earth — in Sept., 1889, by the joint exertions and influence of Gen. J. S. Clarkson, of Iowa, and myself. These positions, while of honor, are not wholly of trust, as I have to give bonds, and I cordially request my class not to become proud of me on account of them. I have neglected to become married or engaged but shall endeavor not to do so again. " 49 Thorn wants to know where Spinnerville is anyhow, and what T. D. W. is doing there, and "Pop" Robinson, although living in Albany, is also ignorant of its where- abouts, but has no doubt that T. D. W. is the biggest man in it. Roseberry concludes as follows : "Dear Tom, I have been thinking who you are, and now I believe you are the red-headed man of the class, who used glasses, roomed in West and cracked delicious jokes. If so, I wish you happiness and prosperity." [Dead shot, that Rose- berry — and a good judge of jokes, if he is color-blind ! — T. D. W.] Jainies Augustus Webb, Jr. died at his home in Madi- son, N. J., April 6th, 1887, in the twenty-eight year of his age. Shortly after graduation, in the Summer of 1881, he entered into partnership with his father, James A. Webb, at 165 Pearl St., N. Y. City, and until the time immedi- ately preceding his decease held an important position in the firm, and commended himself to his associates in busi- ness as a man of executive ability and comprehensive ideas. On December 2nd, 1885, he was married to Miss Nellie Sanford Packard at Springfield, Mass. Shortly after, at a time when his career was blossoming with prom- ise of eminence in the business world, his health became impaired and he spent some months in the region of the Adirondacks, in a vain effort to regain his wonted vitality and vigor. During his enforced retirement from active business life in search of health his conduct was marked by an abnegation of self and thoughtfulness of others which could spring only from sterling manhood and Christian conse- 50 cration, coupled with the rarest fortitude and patience in suffering. To perpetuate his memory and crystallize the ideas that were uppermost in his mind at the time of his decease, his father has erected at Madison, N. J. a Memo- rial Chapel, which by its artistic finish and simple grand- eur will continue to recall a life marked by like qualities, and at the same time furnish a mete opportunity for wor- ship and devotion. Henry Boardman Welles died very suddenly of hemmorrhage of the lungs Oct. 30, 1890, at Las Cruces, New Mexico. One of the teachers who fitted him for college writes : "I could not wish my boys a better future, nor with all the love of my heart picture a character which I would prefer my darling boys to resemble in their youth and early manhood than Henry Welles, as I knew him, and as I remember him. Honor, ability, dignity and versatility combined are a strong heritage to the man who possesses them." His sister writes us: "My mother being a widow, he was obliged to care for our estate, and therefore did not enter a profession. He had an attack of pleurisy soon after leaving college, and never fully recovered from the effects of that illness. In the spring of 1887 a lung trouble was developed, and we went in the summer to New Mexico, where he passed the last three years of his life. He improved very much, led an out-of-door life, and made a brave fight which we feel might have been successful if the grippe had not come last winter to undo all the climate had done. * * * He was always very loyal and affectionate to Old Princeton."

But it is not possible from a few hurried glances while on one's way to the Athletic Grounds to take in all the build- ings that have sprung up during the past decade. Besides bricks and mortar alone do not make a college, and the changes in the Faculty and the Curriculum are even more numerous and important than those in the Grounds and Buildings. The modern College differs from the mediseval School in one noteworthy respect, viz., while the latter trained the mind, the former includes the education of the body as well, and no College history would now be deemed complete if the department of Athletics were omitted. Under this Dreibund of Campus, Curriculum and Athletics a brief sketch of the history of the College during the past ten years will prove interesting, if not instructive, to a majority of the Class. TheMarquand Chapel, the laying of the cornerstone of which was one of the events connected with our gradua- tion, was dedicated June i8, 1882. Among the interior decorations which add a special interest to the natural beauty of the building, are the windows given in memory 55 of Frederick Marquand '76 by his father, the marble tablets in memory of Prof. Joseph Henry and Prof. Guyot, and the noble bronze relief of Dr. McCosh by St. Gaudens — the decennial gift of the Class of '79. In 1882 the 23-inch equatorial was mounted in the Halstead Observatory. In 1884 the University Hotel came under College control and the name was changed to University Hall. The Biological Laboratory, which stands east of Dickinson Hall was the decennial gift of the Class of '77. In 1889 the Dynamo House, an addition to the School of Science building, was erected, as well as the Magnetic Observatory, near Washington Street, south of McCosh Walk ; both buildings are devoted to the uses of the new School of Electrical Engineering. About the same time the central portion of the Art Museum was built, standing back of and between Murray and Whig Halls. The complete design includes two wings in addition to the part now standing. It contains the famous Trumbull-Prime collection of pottery, and the col- lection of plaster casts presented by the Class last Com- mencement. In 1890 Albert Dod Hall was erected south of Clio Hall and running in the same direction as Edwards Hail. There are at present in process of construction on the campus the Chemical Laboratory on the corner of Wash- ington and Nassau Streets, the two Society Halls, which still retain their old position, and something of the idea of the old buildings, and David Brown Hall, which stands back of and between the Art Museum and Albert Dod Hall. The new Commencement Hall, the gift of Mrs. Charles B. Alexander, will be placed between Reunion and "the Gym" with entrances from Nassau Street and the 56 Campus. The contract for the foundations has been awarded and the total cost of the building will probably exceed ^200,000. The subject of a College Infirmary to be named in honor of Mrs. McCosh aroused great enthu- siasm at the Alumni Dinner last June and more than ^10,000 was subscribed. Including buildings already completed these structures represent over $750,000 added to the material prosperity of Princeton since President Patton's inauguration three years ago. A very hasty glance at this year's College Catalogue is sufficient to show the many and important changes in the Faculty, the Curriculum and the students since '81 graduated from College. The Catalogue itself has grown from a thin pamphlet of So pages to a considerable volume of 200, the number of students has increased from 488 (with 39 Postgraduates) to 850 (with 93 P. Gs.), and the Faculty from 34 to 52. The College year has been short- ened by a week at each end, and divided into two terms. The Grading System of our College days has been replaced by the Group System, though the College student is yet to be found who takes any deep sense of satisfaction in either. The Entrance Requirements have been increased in Greek by an extra book of the Anabasis, and in Mathematics by Quadratics of two unknown quantities and the whole of Plane Geometry. The additional Mathematics is also required for entering the School of Science, as well as a knowledge of the elements of Physical Geography and either French or German ; in Latin, five books of Caesar, and Cicero's four Orations against Catiline. Some idea of the numerous changes that have been made in the Curricu- lum may be gained from a brief statement of the work of the different years. In Freshman year all studies remain required, but in the Second Term Modern Languages and 57 Anatomy replace English (2 hours). In Sophomore year there are 12 hours a week of required work and a choice of two 2 -hour elective courses out of 5, — 16 hours in all ; History, Logic and Chemistry have also been brought into this year. The Junior year has 8 hours of required work and 6 of elective with a choice from about 25 courses ; and Senior year has 4 hours required and 10 elective with a choice from about 50 courses. A system of Special Honors in the various departments has also been introduced into all the years. In the School of Science a student may take the degree of B. S. by pursuing courses in General Science, Chemistry, or Biology and Chemistry. A School of Electrical Engineering has also been established. There are now twenty Alumni Associations organized. In 1885 the Base Ball, Foot Ball and Athletic Asso- ciations united to form the Princeton University Athletic -Association. This was done in order that the various athletic interests of the College might be brought under a single management and conducted in accordance with some definite policy. This Association consists of two boards, viz., the Graduate Advisory Committee, with gen- eral powers of control, and the Executive Committee, com- posed of the undergraduate officers of the three sub-associa- tions and the University Treasurer. ' The Football record since '81 has been as follows : Yale won the ChamiDionship in '82 and '8;^, in '84 no Championship was awarded, Princeton won in '85, no Championship in '86, Yale won in '87 and '88, Prince- ton in '89 and Yale in 'go. Since 1877, when the first Intercollegiate Football Association was formed, Yale has won six Championships, Princeton five, and three times none was awarded. 58 In Base Ball Yale won the Championship in '82, '83, '84 and '86, Harvard in '85. In 1887 a triangular league was formed between Yale, Harvard and Princeton, and Yale won the Championship each year. Last year Har- vard withdrew and did not play Princeton; Yale won two out of four games with Princeton, the third game being a tie. This year Harvard played neither Yale nor Prince- ton, and Princeton won the series with Yale. During the decade 1880-90 Yale won 8 Championships, Harvard i, and Princeton i (Yale not playing); Harvard and Prince- ton were each second three times, and tied for second place twice ; Yale and Princeton tied for second place once. In Track Athletics a very marked advance has been made since ' 8 1 . Although no general Championships have been won, good, and in some notable instances, brilliant records have been attained. The names of Dohme and Cary need only to be mentioned, and the performances of Roddy, Vredenburgh and Ramsdell have ranked them among the athletes of the country. The general improvement in every branch of athletics has without doubt been caused in large part by the great changes in the Athletic Grounds. In 1886 the Grand Stand was moved. In '88 the water supply was introduced into the grounds and the handsome gateway at the entrance was erected. In '89 the changes in the track were begun — the field was leveled, a new quarter-mile track laid out, and a new diamond made; the new Grand Stand (700 seats) was presented by Col. and Mrs. John McCook. The new Cage, a substantial brick building erected in place of the wooden structure destroyed by a storm in '86, is almost large enough for a full-sized diamond, and con- tains a 1 6 -lap track. During the past three years over ^23,000 has been expended upon the grounds. A Club 59 House, where the Base Ball and Foot Ball teams may have their tables during the training season, has been given by Prof. Osborne '77, and is already in process of erection. The recent sad and sudden death of Frederick Brokaw, the captain of this year's Base Ball team, who was drowned on the Jersey coast in an attempt to save life, has given form to a plan for a general athletic field for the whole college. It is proposed to use for this purpose the level field lying south of the President's house, and to indicate the occasion by a Memorial Gateway with a commemorative tablet. 60 THE DECENNIAL REUNION npHE informal presentation of the collection of plaster casts given as a Memorial by the Class to the Col- lege took place in the Art School on Monday afternoon June 8th, at five o'clock. C. A. Munn, Chairman of the Memorial Committee, read the following deed of gift : To Francis L. Patton, D. D., LL. D., President of Princeton University: Ten years have elapsed since the graduation of the Class of 1881, and in compliance with long established custom the members of this Class desire to commemorate their decennial birthday by presenting their Alma Maier with a gift in appreciation of the manifold benefits that she has bestowed upon them. The Class of 188 1, under the kind direction of Prof. Allan Marquand of the Art School, has formed a collec- tion of casts illustrating the history and development of ancient and medieval sculpture. F^ach statue in this col- lection is taken from the original molds at the principal museums in Europe, including the British Museum, the Beaux Arts, and the Trocadero, the National Museum at Berlin, and the Louvre. It is the hope of the Class that this collection may be of use in developing the finer sensibilities and the artistic tastes of the students at large, and that these specimens of 61 what is recognized to be the most perfect examples of form and beauty devised by the intellect and art of man during so many centuries, may be of value in extending and enlarging the work of the Art School at Princeton. It is understood that certain rooms in the Art Building are to be devoted to the use of this collection which shall be known as "The Class of 1881 Collection of Casts". The Committee, in behalf of the Class of 1881, hereby conveys this collection into your hands as President of this institution with the hope that it may remain henceforth in the safe keeping of you and your successors. Charles Danforth T. H. Powers Farr Willis Fowler Richard D. Harlan R. Grier Monroe A. H. Scribner Charles A. Munn, Chairman. Committee. Dr. Patton in response expressed his appreciation of the value and usefulness of the gift, and accepted it in behalf of the Trustees of the College. Prof. Marquand then gave an account of the purpose and scope of the Col- lection, pointing out and explaining the various casts. A Class Group was taken by Rose on the steps of Albert Dod Hall. The Class Dinner took place at No. 19 Dickinson Street at eight o'clock. A business meeting was held for the purpose of electing a president in the place of David A. Haynes, deceased, and C. A. Munn, the first president of the Class, was elected by acclamation. On motion of 62 C E. Manierre a committee was appointed to prepare res- olutions expressing the sorrow of the Class at the death of its late president, D. A. Haynes, and also to send a greet- ing to the Rev. Wm. S. Dodd, M. D., at present engaged in medical missionary work in Asia Minor. C. A. Munn, as Chairman of the Class Memorial Committee, made the following statement in regard to the financial condition of the Memorial Fund : "Out of 95 members and ex-members of the Class, 67 have subscribed to the Fund. The whole subscription amounted 10^4,700, of which $3, 844. 94 has been expended. The principal item of expense was the first cost of the casts, but the additional charges for packing, shipping, carting and repairing breakage during transportation almost equaled the original cost. Fortunately there were no custom duties. With the exception of two small bills still outstanding, there is a balance after deducting expenses of $855.06. The Committee did not believe it wise to expend the entire amount of the Fund at one time, because of the great expense of transportation and liability of breakage, in regard to which it was impossible to form in advance anything more than a very general idea. As the work of instruction, rendered possible by the Collection, is extended in the Art School it will be found very desirable to acquire certain special works of art, and in order to fill such gaps and make the Collection as complete as possible it has been thought best to reserve for the present the balance of over ^800 now on hand." The following members of the Class then sat down to dinner, Pres. Munn presiding : — Bedell, Blydenburgh, Bradford, Brant, Brown, Butler, Cauldwell, Coursen, Coyle, Craven, Danforth, Davis, Dufifield, Dunn, P'arr, Gledhill, Hudnut, Ingham, Jackson, Landon, Loney, Manierre, 63 McDermont, Monroe, Moore, Pitney, Robbins, W. A. Robinson, Rodgers, Schmidt, Schneideman, A. Scribnei\ Sinclair, Small, Townsend, Van Alen, Vlymen, H. V/arren, T. D. Warren, Wills. After dinner speeches of an informal character were made by Dunn, "Our Alma Mater"; Loney, McDermont and Bradford, "Football"; Duffield, "Base Ball"; Robin- son (assisted by Moore) "Our Sister Colleges"; and various remarks still more informal by Brown, Davis, Jackson, Landon, Rodgers, Small, H. Warren and T. D. Warren. Robinson was elected to speak for the Class at the Alumni Dinner on Tuesday, and Farr reported pro- gress for the Class Boy. After a vote of thanks to the Dinner Committee the Class started on the time-honored walk round the Triangle and the festive proceedings were brought to a fitting close about the Cannon by the Class cheering everything in general and itself in particular. It may be remarked in conclusion that nothing occurred to damage the Class's reputation for decency and good order. 64 ROMANESQUE AND GOTHIC SCULPTURE. I0IVP6, £. BIERSr "THE CLASS OF 1881 COLLECTION OF CASTS" To the Members of the Class of i88i: In sending you a brief sketch of the collection of casts which you have so generously presented to the Col- lege, I cannot help congratulating you on having selected so wisely a Memorial, which will not only add to the attractions of the Art Museum but will continue to exer- cise an educating and refining influence over the whole College. Education in general consists very largely in acquainting ourselves with the past, and how can we do this to better purpose than by being brought face to face with its monuments ! As these are scattered in distant lands, it is very fortunate that reproductions by casts and photographs enable us to gather together collections of casts, which in some ways are as valuable as the originals themselves. Monuments of sculpture preserve to us in enduring material vivid impressions of the religious, political and dramatic life of historic peoples. We may also trace in them the growth of the sense of form and pro- portion as well as the technical mastery of material diffi- culties. If you were unable to be present at the Memorial exercises last Commencement, let me lead you in imagi- nation to the Art Museum and show you the collection. The building itself in its unfinished condition is a charm- 65 ing structure, preparing us by its external beauty and its brightness within to open our eyes to its contents. As we enter the main hall we have already a suggestion of the cast collection in the three cases which contain grim Egyptian heads, Christian statues and Greek and Roman statuettes. Isis and Osiris guard the passage to the stair- way, on the walls of which are reliefs from Egyptian tombs and Assyrian and Persian palaces. The Egyptian reliefs tell us of the occupations of departed souls, who are engaged in ploughing fields or driving donkeys or catch- ing birds or in some pursuit similar to that which occupied their energies while living on the earth. The Egyptian tomb was the eternal home and here the sculptor's chisel was engaged in carving out the field of existence for the eternal spirit. The Assyrian and Persian reliefs adorned palaces and at the same time recorded the military glory of their royal occupants. As we reach the floor below we are in a hallway, whose dim religious light makes it an appropriate place for Christian sculpture. Especially is this true for the tombs of Bishop Evrard and of the Count of Artois, whose recumbent figures lie as if in eternal sleep. Here also the sculptures from four Romanesque churches are seen in their proper light. An excellent example of the sculpture of this period is seen in the photograph (opposite p. 65) which shows the group of the Virgin and Child from the Porte St. Anne of the Cathedral Notre Dame of Paris. The examples of Christian sculpture are not many in number, but have been selected to represent the characteristic features of Roman- esque and Gothic sculpture in Italy, France and Germany, during the XII, XIII and XIV centuries. The earlier centuries of Christian and Byzantine Sculpture may be studied in the casts of ivories in the room above. G6 In the two large rooms of the basement we may trace the history of Greek sculpture through its various stages. Here is the strange architectural relief from the oldest Greek temple in Sicily, representing Perseus cutting off the head of Medusa. The figures are clumsy and ill-pro- portioned, but the sculptor's effort is in the right direction and promises better things. The Strangford Apollo shows a more advanced stage of art, but is stiff and awkward. Other pieces have been selected to show local differences of style. The very rapid development of Greek sculpture is seen in the succeeding sculptures, which represent the work of Myron and Pheidias, Polykleitos, Skopas and Praxiteles. The end of one room is given up to the works of Pheidias. Here we may see two noble figures from the Eastern pediment of the Parthenon, where Pheidias had enshrined his conception of the Birth of Athena (opposite p. 55). Few and fragmentary are the original remains, but your imagination of the group may be helped by a study of the Madrid puteal near by. Upon the walls are casts of two Parthenon metopes and the greater part of the Eastern frieze. These with the Doryphoros of Polykleitos and a Caryatid from the Erechtheion and three beautiful sepulchral slabs bring before our eyes examples of the heroic style of the fifth century. The gracefulness and human- itarianism of the fourth century may be felt in the corner where we have placed the Venus of Melos, the Hermes of Praxiteles and the Apollo Sauroctonos. Here we find also the perfection of technical accomplishment. The further room takes us into a new school of Greek Art, that of Pergamon and the later Greek artists. The most impressive work of their school, the giant frieze from the great altar of Pergamon, is here represented by the Athena group and by single figures of Zeus, Apollo and of 67 the Giant on the Steps (Frontispiece). The small frieze from the same altar is represented by the group of Herakles and the infant Telephos, These sculptures are especially interesting from the vigor of their execution and from the types which they seem to have established. In the strug- gling giant in the Athena group we see a figure which may have suggested the Laocoon, and in the Apollo we seem to see a prototype of the Apollo Belvidere. So in the Herakles we see what was in the mind of Glaukon of Athens, when he produced the Farnese Herakles. Another figure in the same frieze explains the Torso Belvidere. I have by no means exhausted the contents of this col- lection, having only briefly noted some of the more impor- tant pieces. I need only again to reassure you that the collection will prove of real value to the department of Art and Archaeology and express on behalf of the College our most grateful appreciation of your generosity.
