Nothing specialU' e\entt'ul hapj-iened in either ot them. There were problems to solye, and though 1 never solved them to my own satisfaction, the exercise toughened my ribre, added a virtue or two to the meagre stock, that I possessed when 1 began, and gave me a knowledge of human nature which neither McCosh, Shedd, nor \ litchcock ever imparted. One thing 1 have learned very clearly — the ama/ing long-suffering ot the average church member. President Patton once remarked that the average preacher kills three con- gregations betore he learns how to preach. 1 am now on my third, and the process ot extermination is rapidly progressing. 1 hope to be able to report at our fortieth anniversary that 1 have graduated from the school of assassination and am devoting the rest of my days to a course in " benevolent as- similation." In January, 1896, I began my ministry in Free- port. A leap of a thousand miles was somethini^; of a venture. But the West holds the future. Instead of the buffalo and the Indian, which we anticipated would threaten the satety of our arri\al,we were de- lighted to find a hiijh decree ot ci\ili/ation. Free- ^^4 PERSONA!. BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 port is a fine little city of 14,000 inhabitants, with considerable culture, and large manufacturing inter- ests. My church has about five hundred members, is by all odds the strong- est in the city, and is one of the largest between Chicago and St. J-'aul. My ministry here has been uniformly pleasant, and 1 trust fruitful. The ministry grows upon me from year to year. 1 be- Heve it brings out the deepest and the best there is in a man. No special honors have come to me. I repre- sented the Presbytery of Albany in the (jeneral i''-^ i^««hyterian church, Frceport, 111. ^ _ _ Rev. Charles E. Dunn, Pastor. Assembly at Detroit in 1891. I found myself on the liberal side in the great theological controversy that began at that time. I am a Revisionist of the Herrick Johnson type. The request of the committee to state any connec- tion with directorships, etc., is my only apology for saying that I am one of the Directors of the Du- buque Theological Seminary and First Vice-Presi- dent of the Illinois Anti-Saloon League. In politics, as between the two great political parties, my inclina- 85 AFTER TWENTY YEARS tions at present are toward the Republican. How- ever, I have not openly affiHated with any party, and have frequently voted the Prohibition ticket. EDWIN M. ELLIS After completing the course at the Princeton Theological Seminary, Kllis was sent by the Board of Home Missions to Stevensville, Mont., where he remained until 1891. He organized and built three churches, and re-officered another ; organized several Sunday-schools, and the Missoula County 86 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Sunday-school Association, of which he was Secre- tary. He also edited a paper, called The Light of the Valley. In the fall of 1891 he was appointed Presbyterial Sabbath-school Missionary for the Presbytery of Montana, and when that Presbytery developed into the Synod of Montana, he became Sy nodical Sunday-school Missionary, being ap- pointed by the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sunday-school Work. He has labored in that capacity ever since, his headquarters being at Helena. Ellis was married, July 28, 1883, in Amherst, N. H.,to Miss Lilla M. Prince, and they have two children, — a boy, now fourteen years old, and a girl almost twelve. He is a member of the State Prohibition Com- mittee of Montana, and belongs to the Prohibition Party. He has been twice appointed Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. He writes that he does not expect to attend the Reunion. The Rev. Dr. James A. Worden, Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sab- bath-school Work, writing to the committee, pays the following tribute to Ellis's work : " The Rev. E. M. Ellis has been a faithful and successful Sabbath-school Missionary of this Board. He has been in our employ for about ten years, dur- ing all of which time he has labored in the State 87 AFTER TWENTY YEARS of Montana. He shows in his last annual report twenty-five Presbyterian Churches organized as the direct outgrowth of the work which he has estab- lished. He now has under his care over one hun- dred Mission Sabbath-schools in different parts of the State ; and a large number of Home Depart- ments, in settlements where it is impracticable, on account of distances, to have a Sabbath-school. Mr. Ellis does a great deal of itinerant missionarv work, and is a good evangelist. The work among the Ind- ians is an interesting feature, two churches having been developed and six chapel buildings erected among them during the past eight and one - half years. "In a State as large as Montana, often without any other S. S. missionary in that whole region to help him, we consider that he has accomplished great results." T. H. POWERS FARR A few days after graduating I was offered and ac- cepted a position in the office of Fisk & Hatch, which Pliny had kindly secured for me. For two years I remained with them, and obtained a very good general idea of the banking business. In the spring of 1883, just before my marriage, I became a member of a Stock Exchange firm, which (with some changes in the meantmie) continues to do busmess, 88 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 under the firm name of Kilbreth & Farr, in the At- lantic Building, corner of Wall and William Streets, New York City. I was married on April 14, 1883, in St. James's Church, Philadelphia, to Maria W. Harding ; and in the following autumn located in Llewellyn Park, Orange, N. J., — within a short distance of Charlie Munn, who perhaps, more than any one else, was responsible for our choice of Orange as a home. We have continued to live in Orange ever smce ; spendmg our winters in New York until the children grew old enough to go to school, when we found it 89 AFTER TWENTY YEARS necessary and desirable to live continuously in the country. Our present home, known as the " Home- stead," we purchased three years ago. It is on top of the Orange Mountain, about 650 feet above the sea-level, in the town of West Orange, N. J. We have some twelve acres, and thoroughly enjoy real country life. We have a few horses, several cows, and a lot of chickens, and indulge in a little general farming. During the season, we play considerable golf, on the Essex County Country Club links near by. Incidentally, I am willing at any time to play any member of the Class of '8 i for the golf championship of the class, — the loser to provide a suitable dinner for those members of '81 that can be secured. In addition to the Class-Cup boy, T. H. Powers Farr, Jr., born February 21, 1884, we have three children, — Georgiana Harding Farr, May 30, 1886; Barclay Harding Farr, September 6, 1890, and Will- iam Rush Farr, April 6, 1899. Powers expects to enter Princeton in the autumn of 1903. Barclay goes to Groton in the fall of 1901, and should enter Princeton six years later. If I am distmguished in any way, and I believe I am, it is solely through the merits of my family. The only official position that I occupy at the pres- ent time is that of vice-president of the Guayaquil & Quito Railway Company, and president of the South American Railway Construction Company. This 90 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 railroad when completed will run from Guayaquil, on the coast of Ecuador, to Quito, the capital, and the highest city in the world, — about 304 miles ; cross- ing the Andes at an elevation of 13,000 feet. We have constructed to date the most difficult portion of the line, namely, the section from the coast to the top of the Andes. In politics, 1 have never had occasion to vote any other than the Republican ticket, although I should not hesitate to do so, if I believed the other party represented higher principles, or if it should happen to nominate the better man. In religion, since mar- riage, I have been an active member of the Episco- pal Church, doing some work as a vestryman and choir-boy. In the matter of clubs, I have been chairman of the Out-Door Sports Committee of the Essex County Country Club, at Orange, and a Gov- ernor since its incorporation in 1887; and am also a member of the Down-Town Association of New York, and of the University and the Princeton Clubs. The following items about some of the class may be of interest : Since Frank Landon became so intimate with the English nobility, I have seen less of him. It may be that he is busy explaining why the Seventh Reg- iment does not go to South Africa and " stand shoul- der to shoulder with their English cousins," as he promised in case of need. 1 never knew what the difference was between 91 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Jack Fowler and the proverbial elephant, until I saw Jack climb a tree. While spending one Sunday with us he insisted upon cutting down all the branches that were dead or obstructed the view ; and the risk he ran in doing it was terrible to behold. He is a most desirable guest, as he always works his passage. I see Pliny Fisk when I go to see him ; but the rarefied air that he breathes in the realms of " haute finance " is not suited to the blood of the average mortal. I hope some day to breathe the same at- mosphere, and see more of him. Billy Coursen and I used to cross on the Barclay Street boat quite often together. One day Billy told me that he was raising money for a monument to be placed between the Halls — and / have not- seen him since. One Sunday I happened to be in Rochester, and my host called my attention to the sportmg parson of the place. I was surprised to find it was Dick Harlan. I am not sure whether he said he played golf on Sunday, but I am sure he said he played golf. If it were not for the fact that Paul van Dyke is so well known — being a large part of the University — I should like to throw some side lights on his character as a bachelor host. His success in that capacity has been so great that I fear it has perma- nently weakened his matrimonial inclinations. 92 THE CLASS-CUP BOY AGED SIXTEEN MONTHS. AGED SIXTEEN YEARS. T. H. POWERS FARR, JR. " Hould 'im up! Joy, joy ! Hould 'im up ! Is that the Boy ? Hould 'im up!" The Class Boy was born February 21, 1884. He is now a fifth-former at Groton School, Groton, Mass., and expects to enter Princeton in 1903, — Class of '07. 93 PLINY FISK •*Some for the Glories of this World ; and some Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come ; Ah, take the Cash, and let the credit go.

WARREN J. FLICK " Who yet in youth, the whiles Abandoned, did his steadfast course pursue." I practised my profession [Flick is a Civil and Mining Engineer], in various capacities, for the first ten years after leaving college. Then, through my father's death and a combination of circumstances, I was forced to settle down in Southern California. I escaped in the spring of 1897, went to Chicago, and, having done some pretty smooth work in rail- roading, got back into the harness again. 1 worked pretty hard at the business, and, " getting in with the gang," was slated as general manager of the Chicago, Bluffton and Cincinnati R. R. While waiting for the completion of some of the inevitable red tape connected with such work, I drifted down here [Versailles, Mo.] for the purpose of looking at 95 AFTER TWENTY YEARS some property I had acquired. I became interested in mining for zinc and lead, and have now been here for a year. As, from the present outlook, I am going to make a pretty good thing out of it, I mean to stick here for another year or more. I was married on September 25, 1900, at the home of her parents. Captain and Mrs. Joseph In- gall Sterne, to their daughter, Dixie Lee Sterne, in Columbia, Mo. I am still a stalwart Republican in politics, and now, more than ever. Have not joined any church. Have devoted a good deal of time to Freemasonry, and try to live up to its teachings. I belong to the 96 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 University Club of Philadelphia, but very seldom get there, so I never have the chance to see any of our classmates. I hope to be in Princeton for the Reunion, and see the boys. My address is always Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and let- ters will be forwarded wherever I am. WILLIS FOWLER ** Age sits with decent grace upon his visage. And worthily becomes his silver locks." There is little that I can write for our new Class Record, for my particular history of the first ten 97 AFTER TWENTY YEARS years after graduation has about repeated itself in the second ten. Since the latter part of 1887, I have been residing in New York, where I have been practising my pro- fession of patent law. I am still unmarried, and have not held any public or political office ; in fact I have done nothing noteworthy. In politics I am a Democrat, but am getting tired of voting the Republican ticket. As to clubs, I am a member of the University, the Princeton, and the Reform Clubs, and am a member of the Bar Asso- ciation of this city. I surely expect to attend our Class Reunion at Princeton in June, and hope to see many of the fellows there. GEORGE C. FROST My residence is No. 258 Mount Hope Avenue, Rochester, N. Y. After leaving college, in order to get a little prac- tical education I went into the employ of John W. McFarlane, bookseller, Detroit, Mich., where my parents lived. I was one year in his employ, and then went to the Theological Seminary at Princeton, graduating in 1885. In the fall of that year, I was called to the Presbyterian Church in Three Rivers, Mich., where I remained until the fall of 1891. While there, I was married to Miss Claudia Ben- 98 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 nett, July 25, 1888. On leaving Three Rivers, I came to Honeoye Falls, N. Y., having received a call from the church in that place. I remained until the fall of 1896. While I was in Three Rivers a little boy was born, George Antes Frost. He died just after I left Honeoye Falls. During the sum- mer of 1897, I supplied the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church of Middletown, N. Y. I was then called to Calvary Presbyterian Church, Roches- ter, N. Y., where I am now located as pastor. On January 30, 1900, a little girl was born, Elizabeth Claudia Frost. 99 AFTER TWENTY YEARS My literary efforts have been confined to the pul- pit, with an occasional contribution to the papers. My politics at present, as indicated by my recent vote, are Republican, though I was brought up a Democrat and voted the Democratic ticket until Bryan came into the field. I am hoping to be present at the Class Reunion in June. I have seen very few of the class since graduation. Harlan, whom I see every week, is known among the " brethren " of Rochester as " The Bishop of Third Church." When he rides the wheel, the title is changed to " The Bishop of Third Church and Steeple." EDWARD GILDER Gilder joined the class in the beginning of Sopho- more year, remaining with it only four months. He afterward engaged in the commission dry-goods business with a house in New York City, where his home was. He died on December 21, 1890. 100 CHARLES R. GILL *'He's an absent-minded beggar, and his weaknesses are great. But we and Mac must take him as we find him. He is out on active service, wiping something off a slate. Though we made him leave his class report behind him." — With Apologies to Kipling, Gill was a difficult fish to land, and your commit- tee feels a modest pride in displaying its catch here- with. He writes : Dear Dix : If there is any reward for perseverance in '8i's treasury, then you and Alex. Hudnut ought to be lOI AFTER TWENTY YEARS well repaid. I have received your touching appeals, and will no longer put you off, like my repentance, for " a more convenient season." You say that each of the other fellows will read of my doings with the same interest with which I read of his. You are diplomatic. I will do my duty. A short account of my wanderings is as follows : I graduated in medicine in 1884, at the College of Physicians and Surgeons (Columbia), New York City. I practised my profession for some years in New York, until I contracted the Western fever, when I went West to Seattle and Bellingham Bay, Wash., and invested in real estate, etc., remaining there several years. I then returned to New York, and resumed the practice of medicine there. At the breaking out of the Spanish War I was appointed by the American National Red Cross Society its Field Agent, and was sent to Camp Thomas, Chickamauga, Ga. I met Stuart Brown there, doing his duty in an Illinois regiment. Re- maining there a sufficient time to organize the work and turn it over to my successor, I pushed on to Tampa and Santiago. After the fall of Santiago my duties were mainly among the Cubans^ relieving their distressful conditions. The Red Cross estab- lished a large dispensary and supply depot. The city was districted, and the sick, the needy and suf- fering people were regularly attended to. This comprised nearly the entire population. 102 >H ON PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 I led a relief expedition into Santiago province. A full description of this venturesome expedition will be found in Scribners Magazine for February, 1899. The relief work in Santiago being nearly accomplished, and hearing that the port of Havana would be soon opened. Miss Clara Barton, with most of her staff, embarked aboard the United States steamship Clinton, which our Government had placed at the service of the Red Cross. Ours was the first American ship to enter the port of Havana after the Santiago surrender, and the only one there for several weeks or until the Comal arrived. Cap- tain-General Blanco received us fiercely ; he said : *' I have not surrendered, I have two hundred thou- sand men here, and I do not intend to surrender. There is no distress here but that I am able to take care of, and you had better get out." We did not oblige him at once, but remained in the harbor, hoping to be allowed to land our cargo and relieve the greaf distress existing there. This was denied to us, as well as to the Comal. We were practically prisoners, and as we could do nothing and had no way of communicating with our Government, we decided to run over to Key West. Leaving our anchorage near the poor old Maine, we passed out under the guns of Morro Castle, and I think that we all breathed easier after we reached the open sea. In February I returned to Cuba as Acting Assist- ant Surgeon, United States Army, and was sta- 103 AFTER TWENTY YEARS tioned at Matanzas in the Military District Hospi- tal, and later detailed to inspect the city of Cardenas and put it in sanitary order. At the completion of this work I returned to Matanzas, and was stricken with typhoid fever, nearly losing my life. Invalided home, placed on temporary duty at Fort Hamilton, New York Harbor, November, 1899. Sent to take medical charge of Fort Trumbull, New London, Conn.; remaining there until ordered to this post — Fort Wood, Liberty Island, New York Harbor — in a similar capacity last June. In reply to your numerous questions, excuse me if I reply referring to them by number : I. United States Army; residence, anywhere be- tween here and the antipodes. Letters addressed to Care of J. M. French (Cuyler, Morgan & Co.)> 44 Pine Street, New York, will be forwarded to me. 1. Physician. 3. Married, October 25, 1887, to Clara Devoe Gardner, Catskill, N. Y. Five children, two of whom are dead. 4. Politics, independent ; religion, Presbyterian. 5. I will certainly attend the Class Reunion in June, if I am in this country. Gill subsequently writes : " I have just received an appointment from the President as Captain and Assistant Surgeon [Assist- ant Surgeon of Volunteers, with the rank of Cap- tain. — Eds.] and will be sent to Manila. So I 104 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 cannot have the pleasure of the reunion in June. I regret not to be able to meet the dear boys of '8i, and you must remember me very kindly to them. FRANK GLEDHILL ** 'E 'as n't got no papers of 'is own ; 'E 'as n't got no medals nor rewards." I wish it had been my good fortune to have ac- complished something out of the ordinary — some- thing that would have brought great renown to our class ; but I have not had more than is accorded to the average, and with a brief outline of my unevent- 105 AFTER TWENTY YEARS ful career since we parted, the class will have to be content. My residence, during the past ten years, has been at 429 Park Avenue, and my business address. First National Bank Building, Paterson, N. J. In due course of time, after having left Princeton, I was ad- mitted to the bar of New Jersey, and have been practising ever since. Politics, to a limited extent, occupied my time and attention, and for a short term I was a member of the Board of Education in this city. In '93 and '94 my political aspirations landed me in the New Jersey House of Assembly, as one of the Republican representatives from this county. Business, not poHtics, since then has occupied my time, and upon the organization of one of our local trust companies, named in honor of Alexander Hamilton, I was selected to fill the position of Act- ing Vice-President, which position I still occupy. As has been indicated above, my political affiliations have been and still are with the Republican Party. The Hamilton Club of Paterson and the North Jersey Country Club are the only social organiza- tions to which I belong. My marriage took place in Fruit Vale, a suburb of Oakland, CaL, to Miss Florence E. Perine, on August 16, 1888. My only child, a son named William Gledhill, was born June 20, 1889, and died September 20, 1889. 106 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Unless something or somebody prevents me, I shall participate in '8i's celebration in June. CHARLES N. GOSMAN I am in the assaying business, associated with Mr. John R. Bapty, at 119 Hamilton Street, Butte, Mont. Since leaving college, except for a few years in the East in the banking business, I have been largely identified with the mining business in Mon- tana. For several years I was chief accountant for the Butte and Boston Consolidated Mining 107 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Company, and am now trying some mining on my own account. I was married on September 21, 1897, to Miss Charlotte E. Murphy. The ceremony was per- formed at Billings, Mont., under the ritual of the Episcopal Church, with which church we are to some extent affiliated. We have no children. I am a Republican. I am a member of the Over- land Club of Butte. I am a member of the Benev- olent and Protective Order of Elks, and have served for four years as secretary of Silver Bow Lodge, No. 240, of that order. I am afraid I shall be unable to attend the Re- union in June, though I should much like to be there. I see Cowan quite often ; he is doing very well, I think, in the mining business. And now, having answered your queries, I want to say that I have been quite negligent of my class duties in the past, but hope to keep in touch with the boys better in the future. I don't drink, have a happy and pleasant home, and am trying to lay up a little of the worldly goods. Dominie has gone into politics a little, and at one time was City Clerk of Butte. His connection with the Order of Elks, to which he so unobtrusively alludes, is one of a good deal of prominence. Cowan writes : " What his official cog. is I can't say, but 108 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 at a meeting a short time ago he was elected to the highest office for the State. He is fat and jolly, and seems to enjoy the world as he is passing through." JACOB ROSS GROVE *'Thou indeed mayest live much to thy ease and satisfaction with philosophy." 1. Address, York, Pa. 2. No occupation at present. Circumstances have restricted my activities, to an extent, for many years. Have spent most of my time in philosophical re- search, which, I find, resembles virtue, at least to the 109 AFTER TWENTY YEARS extent of being its own reward. I haven't written anything for publication, although I admit that I hope to do so some time in the remote future. 3. Am single. 4. Haven't " held any position of honor or trust, or done any other noteworthy thing." 5. Voted for McKinley, very reluctantly, as an unwelcome choice of evils. Belong to no clubs or societies. As to religion, I am, nominally, a Presby- terian, although I find myself unable to accept any of the distinctively Presbyterian dogmas. 6. Hope to attend the Class Reunion. ALFRED GUILLOU '81 was too good for Guillou, and he descended upward into '80. Afterward he studied theology, first entering the West Philadelphia Divinity School, then going to the Yale Theological Seminary. Differences arose with his ecclesiastical superiors, — perhaps they objected to exegetical puns, — and he was obliged to give up the ministry as a profession. He then took up the study of the law. He gradu- ated from the U. of P. Law School in 1886, and practised law in Philadelphia for two years. In 1887 he married Emma Barton Brewster, of Philadelphia, and has three children, — two sons and a daughter. In '88 he went to California, and took a ranch near Hueneme, in Ventura County, where he still is. no PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Now all the rest of the words of Guillou, and the things which he did, are they not writ large in the Book of the Chronicles of the Class of '80 ? ROBERT HADDOW Having left Princeton at the end of my Fresh- man year, in 1878, I came up that fall to Toronto, and passed my second year in Toronto University. Then I remained at home [at Dalhousie, N. B. — Eds.] for a year ; my father was in Parliament, and I was helping to look after his business. 1 returned III AFTER TWENTY YEARS to Toronto in the fall of 1880, and graduated there in '82, with first-class honors in Mental and Moral Science and Civil Polity. I am thankful to say that I studied philosophy under George Paxton Young (since dead), one of the greatest philosophers and one of the best teachers of the century. After graduation 1 taught for a year in a High School in Cayuga, Ont. In the fall of 1883 I returned to Toronto and began the study of the- ology in Knox College. I graduated there in 1886. In my last year 1 was president of the glee club, vice-president of the football club, and editor-in- chief of the college journal, the Knox College Monthly. (Perhaps I should have said that in my last year at the University 1 took part in the pro- duction of " Antigone " — the first production in Canada, and, I think, the second in America. I took the part of the Watchman.) In the spring of 1886 I was ordained in St. John, N. B., and spent a year at Home Mission work, as ordained missionary, in my native province. At the end of that year, the members of the Quintette went off together to Scotland. When passing through New York at that time, I had the pleasure of seeing Fisk, Hudnut, and Farr of '81. We spent that winter in Edinburgh, did some study, and saw a good deal of social life, especially in musi- cal circles. While in Scotland, on a trip through the West Highlands, I met Henry Scribner (now 112 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Professor Scribner, I believe), of '8i. The follow- ing summer, we made a bicycle tour on the Continent, visiting Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and France. On my return to Canada in the fall of '88, I was called to the Presbyterian Church in Milton, Ont., and here I remained for seven very happy years. While in Milton I edited for a year (and another year after I left) the Knox College Monthly, which had now become a sort of theological review and the organ of the Alumni Association of Knox Col- lege. In 1893 ^ married a young lady in my con- gregation. Miss Eleanor Caldwell, daughter of William Caldwell, Esq., of Milton. We have three children: George Caldwell, born August, 1894; William Robert, born March, 1897; Marion, born October, 1898. In 1895 I resigned my charge in Milton. I came to Toronto and took a year of special study, at- tending lectures at Toronto University and Knox College. In 1897 I was called to Watford, Ont. While there I received the degree of B.D., upon examination, from Knox College. (Perhaps I should explain that Knox College stands to Toronto University in the same relation that Princeton Sem- inary stands to the University there, except that our theological college has the power to grant degrees in divinity.) I am now a member of the senate of this college, and this year an examiner for the same de- gree of B.D. While I was in Watford, also, I was 113 AFTKU TWEMY YKAKS comciKM' ot the I Kmiic Missumi Ci^ininirrcc ot the Presbvtcrv, luul did ;i good deal ot genend church work ill addition to the wcM-k ot niv congregation. 1 wrote a somewhat ehihorate article on " The l\e- Hgious Life of l\ngland in the Kighteenth Century," which was read at a theological conterence in I'oronto in 1900. About four months ago, in November, 1900, I was called from Wattord to be associate editor ot The irestm:nstc-)\t\\c leading Presbyterian journal ot the Dominion. As mv throat had given me some tremble for the last year or two oi my ministry, it is altogether likely that the remainder of my lite will be devoted to religious journalisni. I ha\e li\ed a \erv happ\', busy, and not alto- gether useless life, but I ha\e never tound u way to make any money and nexer expect to, and don't care. It would be a great delight tor me to attend the Class Reunion in June, but 1 am pretty certain that it will be impossible for me to get away. 1 only hope something may turn up to make it possible. My permanent address is, Office of The IJ'est- minstery Toronto, Ont. 114 ^« S^ . > . «^.»-» . „., ^. -A ... \ EDWARD P. T. HAMMOND Hammond is having a varied and interesting ca- reer. His home was in Berlin, Md. He first took up law, studying at the University of Virginia, and in 1883 commencing practice in Snow Hill, Worcester County, Md. In February, 1884, he made an ex- tensive trip in Florida, and was so impressed with " this growing and prosperous State, the land of the orange-tree and Italy of America," as he put it, that he determined to make it his home, and se- lected Gainesville, as " centrally located and one of the handsomest towns in the State," and the one eventually to be the capital. The United States Land-Office was situated in Gainesville, and here Hammond went into contested land cases and con- templated a general practice. Evidently the Florida metropolis did not progress toward capitalship as rapidly as he had hoped, for soon after we find him again at Snow Hill and re- opening his office there. Matrimony had not tempted him, and he was single. The fourth period is known as the Hungarian period. On January 6, 1892, Hammond was ap- pointed United States Consul at Budapest, and immediately went abroad and entered upon his du- ties. His statistics give the population of Buda- pest as 600,000, and of the whole of Hungary as 115 AFTER TWENTY YEARS 1,800,000; and he was the only American consul for them all. On leaving the Huns, he went to London, and since 1897 has made that city his home. He has an office with Edwards & Co., a firm of brokers, at No. 5 Arundel Street (Dacre House), Strand. He frequently has business on the Continent, which takes him across the " silver streak." He is still unmarried, and is a Republican and an Episcopalian. Hammond has not been in this country since he went to Budapest, nine years ago ; but his brother, Dr. Thomas V. Hammond, of Washington, writes that his father, who is still living in Berlin, Md., is in ill-health, and that E. P. T. is shortly expected home and may be here in time to attend the Reunion. RICHARD DAVENPORT HARLAN ** In short, so provoking a devil was Dick That we wished him full ten times a day at Old Nick ; But missing his mirth and agreeable vein, As often we wished to have Dick back again," After graduation, I took a position in the legal division of the Post-Office Department in Washing- ton ; but, receiving an attractive offer to do some private tutoring work, I returned to Princeton in January, 1882, taking some post-graduate studies in the college at the same time. In September, 1882, I entered the Seminary, and was graduated in 116 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 1885. After a post-graduate year in theology, I was called to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church in New York City, where I was ordained and installed on April i, 1886. In 1888, Paul van Dyke, then pastor of a church in Geneva, N. Y., invited me to spend at least a part of my summer vacation with him, helping him in his work. (He had not been well.) Verily, I had my reward , for Paul, being a good judge in such matters, introduced me to my wife, Mrs. Mar- garet Prouty Swift, whom I had never met before. We were married on June 5, 1889. 117 AFTER TWENTY YEARS In November, 1890, I resigned my charge in New York. Mrs. Harlan's health not being good, 1 determined to carry out a long-cherished plan of pursuing some special studies at the University of Berlin. Accordingly, I sailed for Deutschland in December, 1890, intending to spend eighteen months at the University; but in June, 1891, I was summoned back to this country by what proved to be the fatal illness of my father-in-law. Shortly afterward, Mrs. Harlan herself suffered from a long and serious attack of illness. In the hope of restor- ing her health, I went, in February, 1892, to the Mediterranean, visiting Spain, Tangier, Algiers, Tu- nis, Sicily and Italy. In August, 1892, leaving my wife on the other side, I returned to this country on important business matters, taking passage on the steamship Normannia on her famous cholera trip, and was therefore caught in quarantine in New York Harbor for two weeks, and took part in the battle(?) of Fire Island. In December, 1892, I returned to Europe and spent the winter in Paris, witnessing the opening sessions of the Bering Sea Tribunal of Arbitration, of which my father was a member. Mrs. Harlan's health being restored, I returned to this country in May, 1893, only to be stricken myself, in June of that year, with typhoid fever, from which I did not fully recover until the following spring. In the winter of 1893-94, I took Paul van Dyke 118 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 into the Canada woods north of Three Rivers, to teach him how to hunt big game. Finding some mysterious tracks in the snow, he spent two hours in a most stealthy and carefully planned approach to the supposed hiding-place of the caribou. When he got there, he discovered they were only rab- bits ! But then, what would you expect of a duffer Hke him who, on a recent historic duck-hunt, allowed one distinguished member of his party to bring down seventy-six out of a total bag of seventy-nine ducks? Whether Paul got even one of the other three has not yet been divulged. Third Presbyterian Church of Rochester. Rev. Richard D. Harlan, Pastor. In June, 1894, I was called to the Third Presby- terian Church of Rochester, entering upon my work in the following September, and I have been there ever since. I have no children. 119 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Under present conditions, I am a Republican ; but, a strong sub-stratum of mugwumpery and a tendency to free trade, a new alignment of parties, when silver and other isms are dead, might easily make me a political heretic once more. I am a member of the Princeton and University Clubs in New York City, and of the Genesee Valley and County Clubs of Rochester, and also of the Loyal Legion. I expect to be at the Reunion. S. GRAEME HARRISON •* It's a very good world to live in. To lend or to spend or to give in." English Club, Pau, France. My life has been an uneventful, if not altogether an unpleasant one. My home is Easthorpe House, Ruddington, in the County of Nottingham, Eng- land, and I have spent my winters at Pau, in France, for the last ten years. I was married at Thomas- ville, Ga., on March 17, 1888, to the widow of the late F. A. Marquand, of New York. I have had three children, viz., Graeme, born at Lausanne, Switzerland, April 3, 1889; Randolph, born at Leamington, England, May 31, 1892, and Ellen, born at Pau, November 30, 1893, — of whom Ran- dolph died as a baby. I have no business or profession, and have certain- 120 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 ly done nothing noteworthy. I am a Tory in politics, and a member of the Church of England. I am a member of many clubs in England and France. I regret that I shall be unable to attend the Class Reunion. Best wishes to the members of the Class of 1881 ! Cauldwell, in his report, tells of a narrow escape from death in 1881, when Harrison and he were wrecked, off the Irish coast. They were saved by the life-boats. He adds : " Harrison behaved gal- lantly, as we would expect, and declined to leave the sinking ship until every woman had been safely taken off." DAVID ADAMS HAYNES Died of peritonitis, in New York City, December 8, 1890, in the thirty-first year of his age. Haynes was born in June, i860, at Harrisburg, Pa., and received his early education In Washington, D. C. In college he rose rapidly to high rank, and in addition was widely interested in all the activities of student life. After graduation, he studied law in the office of Shellabarger & Wilson, Washington, at the same time attending the Law School of the Co- lumbian University in that city, obtaining the de- gree of LL.B. On September 15, 1883, he came to New York to practice — " after much thought and not 121 AFTER TWENTY YEARS without some fear," he wrote ; and after serving a year's apprenticeship as clerk in the office of Mr. Crammond Kennedy, he began practice for himself, and became a member of the firm of Morse, Haynes & Wensley, at lo Wall Street. Here his legal ability and his aptitude as a special pleader, coupled with his marked oratorical power, soon brought him into prominence, and success steadily followed his work. In 1884 he was selected by the Princeton Faculty to deliver the Master's Oration for the class, receiv- ing at that time the Master's degree. He was also President of the class. In New York he served a 122 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 term in the Excise Board, was actively interested in church work, and was a member of the University Club. He was not married or engaged, but had acquired a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Haynes's last illness was a very brief one. On Friday, December 5, he was at his office, but went home early ; on Saturday his symptoms became alarming, and on Sunday it was decided that the trouble was peritonitis and that an immediate oper- ation was necessary. After this was performed it became apparent that there was no hope, and death followed at one o'clock on Monday, December 8th. The Decennial justly says : " Probably the death of no one of its members could have been felt more keenly by the class. Both as a man and as the rec- ognized official head of the class, Haynes was in a double sense representative. Socially he filled a place in all the various sets into which a class natu- rally divides ; intellectually he showed, more perhaps than any other member, the stimulating and bene- ficial results of college training, and it was in recog- nition of this fact that he was elected to deliver the Master's Oration. His character was a rare combi- nation of gentleness and strength, a high type of Christian manhood pervaded by true religious feel- ing, yet entirely free from cant, — a character that won the respect of all." 123 JAMES S. HILLHOUSE " Of prastcs \vc can offer a thamiin' variety, Widclv renowned for larnin' an' pictv ; Still, I 'd advance ye, widout impropriety, Father O'Flynn as tlie flower of them all." The twenty years ot my life since leaving college are to be accounted for as follows : Three as a student (so-called) at the Theological Seminary in Princeton ; two as a Presbyterian preacher at Ring- gold, Ga.; seven at Cartersville, Ga,, and eight here at Vicksburg, Miss. I confidently expected by this time to have done something worthy of a place in 124 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 the Record, but I have either failed or neglected to do so. The truth is, the years have been a little too fast for me. I have made no invention or dis- covery, which is a pity ; I have written no book, which is an honor ; I have received no degree, which is a shame. I am a Democrat. I say Democrat, because the last vote that I cast was for old Grover ; but I have not been running with the party much of late, be- cause it seems to be a little " blind as to its eyes " and " lame as to its legs." I was married at Calhoun, Ga., on March i, 1888. My wife's maiden name was Belle Boaz. We have three children, viz., Walter Boaz, born January 29, 1889; Joseph Newton, born January 2,5, 1 89 1, and Nida, born December 24, 1892. That is all that there is to tell about myself, and I have not time to tell about my wife and children. I am afraid that I will not be able to attend the Re- union. JOSEPH D. HUBBARD *' Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nature rousing herself like a strong man after sleep." Joe frantically but mistakenly seeks to atone for atrocious procrastination by profuse contrition. (This is an error common to not a few in the class.) He writes as follows : You have heard of that resort said to be paved 125 AFTER TWENTY YEARS with good intentions; and Chicago has been like unto it since receiving your hist appeal urging me to " confess." The truth is, 1 have been shockingly busy the past two months. My desk is loaded with unfin- ished tasks, and I have repeatedly attempted this one, only to be called to something more imperative. Pray accept my apologies, and with them this brief but pathetic record of a misspent lite. The practice of law was interrupted three years ago by a severe illness, and 1 was compelled, by reason thereof, to spend a winter in California, and 126 X -5 'Jj j= ■.1 13 q S=! u ;:: Q „ Z ■^J < ca -7^ c < '■" ai t: oi hi PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 another year in general travel. Since my return I have not resumed general practice, but have devoted myself to matters suggested partly by my tastes and partly by business interests which had developed during the past ten years. No change has occurred in my domestic affairs since we reported in 1891 ; that is to say, I am still married, have no children living, and continue to be a resident of the so-called " Windy City." As to the appalling list of possibilities contained in paragraph 4 of the interrogatories, I can only say I have done a little, a very little, of some of those things, but not enough of any to justify explicit reference to them. As to politics and religion, they both seem to be drifting to a point where an " independent " attitude is the only one possible for a rational being. I still cling to the New York University Club, the Chicago University Club, the Onwentsia Coun- try Club, and other minor organizations. Yes, I do expect to attend the Class Reunion in June, whether the walking be good or not, and hope every other man of the class feels the same way and will get there somehow. Unfortunately, I know little about our men, and see less of them. Skinner is here in Chicago, but I have seen him only once or twice in some years. Stuart Brown comes up occasionally from Springfield 127 AFTER TWENTY YEARS to attend a Princeton banquet, but 1 can give no in- formation about anyone not already known to most of the other men. ALEXANDER M. HUDNUT " The devil was piqued, sucli saintship to behold. And longed to tempt him, like good Job of old ; But Satan now is wiser than of yore. And tempts by making rich, not making poor." Since graduation I have lived in New York City. My residence is at 51 West Thirty-ninth Street, and my business address is 1 1 Wall Street. 128 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 On October i, 1891, I formed a co-partnership with Mr. R. T. H. Halsey, of the Class of '86, under the firm name of Halsey & Hudnut. We are brokers and dealers in investment bonds. Hal- sey is a member of the New York Stock Exchange. I have been very closely confined to my work during this period, and have not wandered far from Manhattan Island, either on pleasure or business. I sometimes make trips to neighboring golf courses and get a day's outing on the links. In the summer I live with my parents at Allen- hurst, N. J., — a settlement on the New Jersey coast where we have a summer home, — and commute be- tween there and New York every day. We still retain our old home in Princeton, and I go out there frequently to spend Sundays during the winter and in the spring and fall. [Aleck is breaking ground for a new house in Princeton, in the vicinity of ex- President Cleveland's home.] I am neither married nor engaged at the present writing. Ed. Dix tells me I am old enough to get married,* and I am beginning to think he is about right on that point. In politics I am a sound-money man and have been voting the Republican ticket the last two na- tional elections. Prior to that time I was a Demo- crat, but I have no sympathy with Bryan Democracy and will never support any party which affiliates with free-silverites or populists. * I never said so. What's forty ! — E. A. D. 129 AFTER TWENTY YEARS I am a Presbyterian, but at present I attend the Collegiate Church at Twenty-ninth Street and Fifth Avenue. I belong to the following clubs : The University Club. The Grolier Club. The Reform Club. The Princeton Club. The Quill Club. The Nassau Country Club. The Deal Golf Club. The Nassau Club of Princeton. I am also a member of the Chamber of Commerce of New York. During the past year I have written to every member of our class and have heard from most of the men ; and it has been a very gratifying expe- rience to note the almost universal interest and loy- alty of our men for the good old Class of '8 1 . The men are doing well, and, so far as I can judge, a fair share of success has come to them. Aleck is one of the most popular men in the class, and the friendly comments upon him in the fellows' letters to the others of the committee have been too numerous to record. He is too diffident to touch on his marked business success in the country's financial centre, but it merits much more than this brief allusion. — 3^ Eds. 130 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 R. H. HUTCHINS After Hutchins left college, " on that memorable fourteenth day of February, 1878," he took up the study of medicine. He settled in Wilkesbarre, Pa., and became resident physician of the City Hospital there. Subsequently he went to Pittsburg, Pa., where he is still engaged in the practice of his pro- fession. He was married on September 26, 1883, to Miss Helen M. Atherton, of Wyoming, Pa. They have no children. In reply to the question whether he has held any public or political offices, positions of honor or trust, business directorships, military rank, etc. ; written books or articles, made an invention or discovery, obtained a degree, or done any other noteworthy thing which should be chronicled in the Record — Hutchins sends a laconic " No." He is a Democrat and a Presbyterian, and belongs to the Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties' Princeton Alumni Associa- tion. WILLIAM INGHAM After graduation, Ingham went into business in New York, but, left in the following spring. He made a trip abroad, and in June, 1882, went into the coal commission business in Philadelphia, in which he continued for a number of years. He has since been very ill, and has been travelling for his health. He is not married. PHILIP NYE JACKSON *' If you would live at your ease, manage but a few things." — Democritus. My present residence is No. 15 Waverly Place, Newark, N. J., and my business address is No. 209 Market Street. On graduating in 1881, I commenced the study of law, attending lectures at the Columbia Law School, and reading here in Newark in the office of my uncle," Hon, Schuyler B. Jackson. At the end of the year, I concluded to go into business, and after looking up various lines of occupation, had an 132 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 opportunity of becoming connected with the Newark Electric Light and Power Company as Assistant Secretary. Since then electric lighting has been my chief occupation, and whatever else I have been in, I have always retained a connection with this line of business. From time to time I held the offices of Secretary, Treasurer, General Manager and Vice- President of the Newark Electric Light and Power Company, and upon its absorption in 1895 ^7 ^^^ People's Light and Power Company, I became the President of the latter company until it in turn was absorbed by the United Electric Company of New Jersey, of which I am the Third Vice-President. Incidentally I have been interested largely in real estate, and in from thirty-five to forty corporations, mostly electric light, gas, water, and various manu- facturing enterprises. On November 5, 1 884, 1 was married in St. Luke's Church, Germantown, Pa., to Miss Margaret Atlee, of Philadelphia. We have six children, — Nannie Nye Jackson, born in Newark, August 11, 1885; Edith Atlee Jackson, born in Newark, October 6, 1886; Frederick Wolcott Jackson, 3d, born in Newark, February 20, 1888 ; Margaret Atlee Jack- son, born in Newark, November 11, 1890; Philip Nye Jackson, Jr., born in Newark, May 15, 1898 ; and Schuyler BrinckerhofF Jackson, born at Ber- nardsville, N. J., August 18, 1900. I have never held any political office, and have 133 AFTER TWENTY YEARS not been especially active in politics outside of serv- ing as delegate to several conventions, attending to the ordinary duties of primary meetings, and voting on election days. In a business way I have held a large number of official positions, having at various times been a director in numerous corporations, and at the present time am connected with eight or ten, in seven of which 1 hold the position of President. Politically I have always been a Republican, and at present am a strong McKinley man. 1 am a member of the Third Presbyterian Church of Newark, and am one of the Trustees. I have never been much of a club man, although I belong to a few, — the University Club of New York, the Princeton Club of Newark, the Newark Athletic Club and the Garfield Club being all with which I am at present connected. I have been the President of the Princeton Club of Newark for the last four years, and have served on the Executive Committee for the last ten years. 1 have been somewhat interested in benevolent organi'/ations, and at the present time am a member of the William Street Mission, and a director of the Board of the Bureau of Associated Charities. I hope to be at the Reunion in June. Phil is a very conspicuous figure in Newark. He has organized a great many successful adventures 134 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 there, and has developed electric-light plants in dif- ferent parts of the State with success and profit. Like the sensible man that he is, now that he is comfortably fixed, he is getting more enjoyment out of life than formerly, and incidentally showing a most decided interest in Princeton. About a year and a half ago, as the committee is informed, he gave ^5,000 to the University, and he has now sub- scribed $25,000 toward the new gymnasium. "Jack," writes an admiring classmate, "has got- ten to be a great big fellow, and weighs 225 pounds, he tells me. He wears the same kind of a smile he did years ago, but it has expanded and covers more territory." JOHN MURRY JORDAN Jordan left our class soon after the beginning ot Junior year, being " called up highei " into the Class of '80. Consequently he, like Guillou, de- serves no consideration save as a deserter. He studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, attended lectures in London and Paris, and got married He practised medicine in Philadelphia for two years, then, relinquishing this profession, became a member of the Petroleum Exchange, where, as he says, he bucked the market with great success till he had no money to buck it more. Later he travelled in all parts of the world for E. &. H. T. Anthony, 135 AFTER TWENTY YEARS the dealers in photographic supplies, and is now in business for himself, publishing illustrated books — especially in the line of photographic portfolios of well-known places and buildings throughout the world. His office is 1433 South Penn Square, and his residence, 302 West Chelten Avenue, Philadel- phia. For fuller details, reference is made to '8o's Record. ARTHUR L. KIMBALL " His tribe were God Almighty's gentlemen." Our Honorable Secretary obtained from Johns Hopkins the degree of Ph.D., in June, 1884, and was appointed Associate, and later Associate Pro- fessor, in Physics, in that University. In May, 1 891, he was elected Professor of Physics in Am- herst College, whose president. Dr. Gates, referred to him as " one of the foremost scientific men of the country." He accepted the chair, with the promise of a new physical laboratory to be begun at once. He will now take up the narrative for him- self: In October, 1891, I began my work in Amherst College, where I still remain as Professor of Physics. In the fall of 1893 work was begun on a new phys- ical laboratory. The planning for this building and Its equipment, together with the constant attention 136 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 that had to be given to the work as it advanced, and the regular teaching work to be carried on at the same time, gave me all that I could well do. In February, 1894, we entered the new building, and of course during the remainder of that year the work was unusually heavy, involving the organizing of the laboratory and its equipment. As a conse- quence, I was pretty well run down in health by summer, and in the fall found that I was totally un- able to do any work. The doctors decided that my lungs were affected and advised the Adirondacks or Colorado. In the middle of October I left every- 137 AFTER TWENTY YEARS thing and went up to Lake Placid. Soon after going there I began to improve. 1 was there till April, gaining steadily, and during the latter part of the time spent a large part of each day tramping through the woods. As the snow got deeper I had to take to snow-shoes, and these daily tramps and rifle-shooting formed my chief occupation. The rest and the outdoor life were just what I needed, and I came back feeling like a fighting-cock, and have kept in good condition ever since. My work of teaching is very absorbing, and be- tween class work, laboratory work with students, designing instruments and apparatus to be con- structed in the shop, and my own experimental work, not to speak of keeping up with journals and current progress, and trying at least to follow the developments in applied electricity, I manage to keep busy. There is an assistant professor to aid in the work, and a mechanician to attend to repairs and construction of apparatus in the shop ; besides some student assistance. We have a fine laboratory, with good general equipment, though in some directions we need additional instruments. We are adding all the time, however, though the gain is rather slow. We are improving our courses and adding to the work as we have opportunity. I was married, August 25, 1884, to Miss Lucilla P. Scribner, of Plainfield, N. J. Our children are : Arthur Livingstone, born February 22, 1886; 138 THE NEW CLIO HALL. m WW^ KM !^)^i '«'>1 1 1' ^ ri|| THE NEW WHIG HALL, PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 William Scribner, born August 28, 1887; Stanley- Fisher, born January 6, 1890, and died the follow- ing July; Henry Maxwell, born February 17, 1892, and Bradford Fisher, born August 17, 1896. The two older boys are now in the High School, and the oldest is within an inch of my height. I cannot get used to his being so big, and find it hard to realize that I shall soon have college boys of my own. I am a member of the American Physical Society and of the Amherst Country Club, play golf a little, ride a bicycle to and from my laboratory whenever the weather permits, and enjoy an occasional bicycle ex- cursion out among our hills with congenial friends. I am a member of a Congregational church. In politics I am independent. I would be glad to vote the Republican ticket if they would nominate a man of backbone and conscience, who would live up to his sense of right and justice in spite of the pressure of the money-power. I am satisfied that our treat- ment of the Filipinos has been unjust and treacher- ous, and that the Philippine war was brought about by gross mismanagement and lack of tact, to say the least, — that it is a wicked, unnecessary war. I be- lieve that the islands should have been given inde- pendence under our protectorate. I fully count on being at the Reunion in June. 139 THOMAS DANFORTH KING King died at his home in Springfield, O., Decem- ber 2;^, 1888, at the age of twentv-nine. Atter leaving Princeton, he began the study of medicine, and graduated " with distinguished merit" from the University of Pennsylvania in 1885. He was greatly interested in mission work, and, after practising in Springfield for about a year, offered himself as a Medical Missionary to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. Before he had been assigned to his field, a tumor began to manifest itself in the cavity of the right eve, against which all the 140 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 efforts of medical skill were of no avail. For the last two years of his life he suffered excruciating pain, his strength being constantly wasted by the disease. The Springfield Gazette said of him : "In quiet deeds of kindness to the poor, in words of cheer to the despondent and struggling, in labors to lead the sinful to repentance and salvation, . . . he filled his years with usefulness, and scattered blessings with lavish hand at every step of his life." — Decennial. JOHN L. KIRK "Some said, 'John, print it ;' others said, ' Not so ; ' Some said, * It might do good ; ' others said, ' No.' " BUNYAN When I left Princeton, 'way back in 1881, I had made up my mind to take a fall out of Blackstone, but the opportunity of making money in a business long established proved too alluring. I joined forces with my father, and with him, and afterward as his suc- cessor, continued for a number of years in the business of brewing pure ales and porter. Later I returned to my first love, entered Columbia Law School and studied there for one year. During this year arose the trouble between President Seth Low and Profes- sor Theodore W. Dwight which disrupted the school. Together with about a hundred others, I went to the 141 AFTER TWENTY YEARS New York Law School, and graduated in 1892. My clerkship was served in the office of Stanley, Clarke & Smith, at 120 Broadway. I started to practise on my own account in February, 1893, in ^^^ same building ; and am still there. A reference to the Decennial Record will show that my answer to the matrimonial question was a fierce negative. In me you find a happy exemplification of the fact that the unexpected always happens. On January 15, 1894, Alice Amy Flemming, the daugh- ter of the noted lawyer, was changed into Mrs. John L. Kirk, at her home in Jersey City. In this place, 142 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 where the Pennsylvania Railroad has its terminus, we reside at 82 Grand Street. Two children were born to us, — Robert Linton, on Christmas, 1895, who died while an infant; and Sara Flemming, who still survives, born February 23, 1900 I am a member of the Princeton and Twilight Clubs, but more especially of the Family Club which meets at my house every evening. I have connected myself as an active worker with two set- tlement clubs of boys, and am striving, by precept and example, to increase the number of good citi- zens. Though adding no laurels to my Alma Mater, I have, I believe, done nothing at which she might blush. I am a member of that wing of the Democracy which follows the standard of Grover Cleveland. The Episcopal Church claims me as an active member. I have met only a few of our fellows. I saw Billy Dodd when he was in this country, and have received letters from him. He is ever the same un- assuming Billy that he was of yore, and is doing work second to no man in the class. Monroe and Bacot were ushers at my wedding. McMurdy is a successful physician, who has not only given his business to me but has brought other clients also. W. C. Davis and I occupy offices in the same suite. This propinquity warrants me in the assertion that Davis smokes better cigars than he did in college days. 143 AFTER TWENTY YEARS I expect to attend the Class Reunion, and trust that the fellows will recognize me, though I now wear both whiskers and spectacles. Hudnut writes of Kirk : He spent part of his summer a year ago with his wife at Allenhurst, N. J., and I used often to see him in the swimming-pool. He looks very much as he used to look in the old days at college, when he was in the front rank at the class rushes in Fresh, and Soph, years. He is still fond of athletic sports, and makes a very handsome dive from the diving-board into the pool. The following clipping tells something of John's many altruistic activities. — Eds. "MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY." A Boxing Cluss in Connection AVith a CUurcU in Jersey City. Jersey City, N. J., Dec. 2.— When the Rev. Edward L. Stoddard, rector of St. John's Protestant Episcopal Chureli, opened his new Jioxing chiss at St. John's Institute to-night, there were six lads present. The instructor, John L. Kirk, is a lawyer, a nieniher of Grace Church, and an amateur of much skill He gave each member of the class fifteen minutes' instruction. He is a graduate of Princeton College, and it was there he learned to l)ox. The Rev E. S. Forbes, curate of the church, said that the members were in accord with the views of Mr Stoddard. They believe it a good idea to liave the boys instructed in self-de- fence, because they think il will tend to their physical development and health. Mr. Forbes said tlie price of lessons was fixed at ten cents, as Mr. Kirk gives his services free. 144 EDWARD RANDALL KNOWLES ** Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage. And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age." Knowles has been lost In the shuffle ever since the triennial, and the committee has had no little trouble in dealing him out. It was known that after leaving college he and his wife lived at his home in Providence, R. L, for a while, a son being born to them while there; that in 1882 he went on the professional stage, organizing a company of his own , and that he had contributed extraordinarily abstruse articles, on " The Nature of the Existence 145 AFTER TWENTY YEARS of Matter" and the like, to various periodicals. The committee was finally lucky enough to track him to Massachusetts and to secure the appended report : For ten years my home has been in this secluded village of West Sutton, thirteen miles south of Worcester, Though my career since '8i has been exceedingly clouded by ill-health and extreme pre- disposition to lung trouble, I have steadily gained, and manifested great endurance, losing meanwhile, by their deaths, six successive family physicians, not one of whom had had the slightest confidence that I would hold out a year in this climate. Some years ago I was deeply interested in an effort to establish in America an "Old Catholic" episcopate under the patronage of the Orthodox Syrian Church, from which I received holy orders as a priest. After much travel abroad and some study and experience of the so-called " Orthodox " Coptic, Syrian, Armenian and Greek sects, I lost all faith and interest whatever in those sects, as such, believing only in the reality and power of the imme- diately present Christ and in the acceptance and fol- lowing of the promise that " whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, — God dwelleth in him, and he in God." Since 1891, I have published several small edi- tions of poems (substantially the same collection) as- 146 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 " Songs of the Life Eternal " [J. Stilman Smith & Co., Boston, 1 891] ; "Selections" [Smith & Co., 1 893] ; " Ecce Regnum, and Other Poems " [Worces- ter Messenger Co., 1892] ; and a treatise, "The True Christian Science" [1892]. But my only successful book, from every point of view, was " The Supremacy of the Spiritual " [The Arena Co., Boston, 1895]. For three years past, I have availed myself of ex- ceptional opportunities for study, original research, and experiment in psychiatry and hypno-suggestive therapeutics ; and although now just forty, I am yet young and ignorant enough to seriously expect to follow up my intense interest, and perfect my already growing proficiency, in the above-named depart- ments, by a regular course in one of our best medical colleges. My journalistic and scientific work has led to many unusual experiences, and to recognitions from several foreign authorities, governments and societies,, as, e.g.y the order of the Liberator (grade of Com- mander), from Venezuela, the Ottoman Medjidieh (Commander), from the Khedive of Egypt, my elec- tion as corresponding member of the Society of Geography, Lisbon, 1897, and various other similar incidents. Apart from the death of my eldest child, my do- mestic life has been quite favored and happy. I have four children living. 147 AFTER TWENTY YEARS It is impossible at present to determine whether I shall attend the Class Reunion. I am at present in seriously impaired health. Knowles has in preparation another book, which will probably be entitled " Absolute Therapeutics." Of " The Supremacy of the Spiritual " (now out of print), the Boston Globe^ among other papers, spoke in warm praise, as " clearly treating the ultimate nature of matter and the essential nature of elec- tricity, and makmg original and important researches of a most vital character concerning invisible powers of the universe." It added that the book would cause the author to rank with the most not- able discoverers of this progressive age. In 1893, West Virginia College, at a meeting of the trustees and faculty, conferred upon Father Knowles the honorary degree of LL.D. — Eds. FRANCIS G. LANDON *• What a pity is it That we can die but once to save our country ! " " Though wondering senates hung on all he spoke. The club must hail him master of the joke." I Started my business career on July 19, i88i,as clerk in my father's store, Charles G. Landon & Co., New York, importers. Upon the death of my father, in March, 1893, I resigned my clerkship, and since then I have not been in business. 148 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 After leaving college, I kept up my interest in athletics, the track, base-ball and gymnasium for several years. I took a great interest in amateur theatricals, and for three or four years took part in all the principal amateur productions in New York. In January, 1882, I joined the Seventh Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., worked up through all the grades of non-commissioned officers, and for over four years was Regimental Adjutant and Chief of Staff under Colonel Daniel Appleton ; and since April, 1895, have been Captain of Company I. The most interesting event of my life was my trip 149 AFTER TWENTY YEARS to London, in July, 1899. By invitation from one of the London volunteer regiments, a brother officer and myself were sent to London to represent our regiment, the Seventh, and the National Guard of New York. The occasion of our visit was to be present at a grand review of all the volunteers of London by the Prince of Wales, the centennial cel- ebration of their first review by King George IIL We were much entertained, and as a fitting climax had the honor accorded us of a presentation to the Queen. It was at Windsor, upon the occasion of the Queen presenting to the Scots Guards a new State color. It was a beautiful ceremony. At the conclusion of the military function three English officers and ourselves were brought forward, and with this magnificent regiment, 1,600 strong, stand- ing at attention, were presented to the Queen by the Duke of Connaught. Afterward the invited guests, including ourselves, were the guests of the Queen in the castle at afternoon tea, and we were shown especial attention by the Duke of Con- naught. In December, 1893, I purchased a small country home for myself, — " Mansewood," in Staatsburg, Dutchess Countv, N. Y. ; and, when not travelling, of which I have done quite a lot, I have spent most of my time there. I became interested in my county politics ; and in September, 1900, I was unanimously nominated by the Republicans for the Assembly of 150 DOD HALL. ^ J^^r^^^'^ : rg'* ^^®l i^^g^;; Jh jssssst .^ l^3s 1 fi 4fl ismmwstm-i!^mfiS!SWt&IKtllKtllllKttlHMtll\ __S «"* "" ■ - =^ — '-iriw^ ==^ BROWN HALL.

On May 20, 1897, I was married in New York: City to Mary Hornor Toel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Toel ; and we have one daughter, Adelaide, born July 3, 1898. I am a Republican and an Episcopalian ; I ex- pect to be at the Class Reunion, and my address is " Mansewood," Staatsburg, Dutchess County, N. Y. The New York Tribune says of Frank : " Captain Landon is one of the most popular men in the Seventh Regiment, and has shown him- self to be a valuable man in many positions. He was instrumental in organizing the Seventh Regi- ment Signal Corps ; was the prime mover in the Howitzer Corps, and organized the Bicycle Corps. He enlisted in January, 1882, and was made adju- tant in January, 1891. At the election which fol- lowed the resignation of Captain Harper, Adjutant Landon received seventy-eight votes, not one vote being cast against him." 151 LOUIS j.

Mv career, since o;raduation, has been perhaps no more eventhil than that experienced hv other ineiii- bers ot the chiss who chose journaHsm as a profession. Within a few months after leavinc Princeton 1 be- came a reporter on the Philadelphia Times. Later 1 joined the staff of the New York Tiiiirs, and re- mained there until the spring of 1882, when the 15- PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 illness of my mother forced' me to return to my home in Elmira, N. Y., where I, for a year, acted as news editor of the Daily Advertiser. In 1883 I made up my mind to follow the political end of the game, and was attached to the political department of the New York World. Three years later I was made the legislative correspondent of the World at Albany, and served as such until 1889, when I be- came the Washington correspondent of the New York Press. The retirement of the Harrison administration found me back in New York again on the Worlds and until 1895 ^ followed politics for that news- paper. [" The last time I saw Lang," writes Cauldwell, " he was interviewing Richard Croker, who was jumping all over the New York World."~\ Through the sessions of 1895, 1 896, and 1 897 I was the Albany correspondent of the New York Morn- ing Advertiser^ and when, in the latter year, the Ad- vertiser was absorbed by the Morning Journal, I was engaged by the latter as a political writer. With the Journal I am still identified. Outside of my duties as a newspaper writer, I have contributed intermittently to magazines. My most recent article appeared in the November Frank Leslie's [1900]. It was entitled " Election Day." I was married December 25, 1883, to Clara Os- borne Terhune, of Brooklyn, N. Y., at 382 Union Street, in that city. We have two children, — Fred- 153 AFTER TWENTY YEARS erick Lyford, who was born May 14, 1883, and Katharine Gushing, born at Washington, D. C, March 13, 1891. I am a Republican and a Presbyterian. The New York Press Club is the principal social organ- ization to which I belong. It will be my pleasure to attend the Class Reunion in June, unless any event unforeseen prevents. FRANCIS LONEY After graduation, Loney returned to his home in Baltimore and took up the study of the law. He attended the Maryland University Law School in that city, passing its examinations with high credit, and being one of its Commencement orators. Fel- ]ov/-members of his class there were Walter Preston of '81 and Greene of '80. He was admitted to the Bar, and for a time practised law in Baltimore. Then the wide West attracted his attention, and he went out to West Superior, Mich. He engaged in real estate and banking and other business enterprises, and has been highly successful. Frank is not married. He is in the East a good part of the time, and is often in evidence at Prince- ton functions, robust and enthusiastic. He will probably not attend the Reunion. 154 ZACHARIAH KEPNER LOUCKS Zachariah Kepner Loucks was born on December a8, 1 86 1, in Spring Garden Township, York County, Pa., at the Loucks homestead in the suburbs of the city of York. His father, Zach- ariah Kalbaugh Loucks, was a distinguished citi- zen of York County, and a noted pioneer in the manufacture of high-grade flours. He was a prom- inent figure in the growth and development of his county, and at the time of his death was President of the First National Bank of York. The paternal grandfather of the subject of this 155 AFTER TWENTY YEARS biography was George Loucks, and his great-grand- father, John George Loucks, who in 1780 emigrated to America from a village close to the Alsace-Lor- raine frontier, — he being the first member of the Loucks family to settle in this country. His mother was Sarah Ann Loucks, daughter of Colonel Michael Ebert, of Spring Garden Township, whose ancestors came originally from Wurtemberg, Ger- many, and settled in York County during Colonial times in 1742. The subject of this sketch received his early edu- cation at the township schools and the private insti- tution of Rev. William Vaughn at York. Later he attended the York County Academy and Franklin and Marshall College. He matriculated at Prince- ton University during the fall term of 1878, grad- uating from the institution with the degree of Bach- elor of Arts on June 22, 1881. Later he received the degree of Master of Arts, on June 20, 1888. After graduation he began the study of law in York, under the preceptorship of John Gibson, Esq., afterward Judge of the Nineteenth Judicial District. Upon the elevation of Judge Gibson to the Bench, he entered the office of Hon. Robert J. Fisher, an ex-Judge of the same district, subsequently moving to Philadelphia and continuing his studies under the direction of the Hon. George Junkin. He also at- tended the law lectures of E. Coppee Mitchell at the University of Pennsvlvania, and was admitted 156 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 to the Philadelphia Bar on February 5, 1887. Two years later, on March 25, 1889, he was admitted to the Bar of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and on December 16, 1889, his practice meanwhile having extended beyond his native State, he was ad- mitted to practice in the courts of the Eighth Judi- cial Circuit of Maryland and to the Bar of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore. On June 22, 1893, he was admitted as a counsellor in the United States Court. In addition to his extensive law practice, he is actively identified with the management of various enterprises in which he is financially interested. He is a member of the firm of Z. K. & H. J. Loucks's Sons, of York, manufacturers of high-grade flours and dealers in grain. The mills of the firm are among the most extensive in the State. He is also a prominent factor in real estate interests in Phila- delphia and York, and has various allied enterprises. He is a Republican in politics. He has frequent- ly been importuned to enter politics, but has never allowed his name to be used in any political connec- tion, preferring to devote his energies and talents to his chosen profession, the management of the large estate left by his father upon his death on April 25, 1895, ^^^ ^^^ various financial enterprises. He is a member of the Lutheran Church, and is unmarried. He is a graduate member of the American Whig Society of Princeton University, and an active mem- 157 Ai rni rw i \ ia \ i aus \\\ o( \\\<- I iw \v,ul> i\\\ .nul (hv- 1 .iv\ AssvHM.nuM\ .<( rtul.ul.lpUi.i.

They lived at one time, it is said, on Long Island, where Lynde went in for some kind of fancy duck and chicken farming. Finally he be- came an extensive traveller, eventually turning up in Australia, where he tried a taste of mining and ad- venture. In 1895 his father died, leaving half his fortune, estimated to be over a million dollars, to Charles W., who was promptly summoned home from Aus- tralia. His wife had, on August 7, 1893, obtained a divorce. Both of his boys had died, within a few months of each other, from diphtheria. On his father's death, his first wife brought suit to open the decree of divorce and obtain a share in his inheri- tance. This suit has been fought and won through every successive court of New Jersey, and now has just been confirmed in her favor by a decision in the United States Supreme Court at Washington. By this decision she receives $30,000 in cash, as back alimony, besides |8o a week during the life of her ex-husband. Meanwhile, Lynde has married again, his second wife being a widow, and a resident of Patchogue, Long Island, where he has lived since his return. They have a handsome house between Blue Point and Patchogue. 160 CHARLES E. MANIERRE "Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult." — Hannah More. My brother Alfred (Columbia, '83) and I continue our partnership in the practice of the law in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Our office has increased in size since the Decennial Rec- ord of our class came out. We have both deserted the ranks of the bachelors, and our homes are near together, not far from Broadway and Seventy-sixth Street. I was married January 3, 1900, to Miss Elizabeth Hunt Welling, a daughter of Charles H. 161 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Welling. My residence is 352 West End Avenue, and my business address is 31 Nassau Street, New York City. I still take an interest in the Prohibition party ; and also have a flourishing Bible-class at Bethany Memorial Congregational Church, on Tenth Ave- nue. I have not been far from New York, except one trip to Florida, on which, at Ormond, 1 met Dix and his wife. Occasional letters come to me from " Billy " Dodd, and I had the pleasure of see- ing him when he came back from Turkey two or three years ago for a vacation. I expect to be at the Class Reunion. HARRY K. MATTHEWS Harry Matthews did not return to college after his rustication by the faculty at the time of that famous hazing afi-air in February, 1878. He went to Texas and engaged in business in Mineola, in that State, in the line of railroad contracting. The committee has been unable to trace his subsequent history. 162 -1 Q h g EDWARD F. MATTHEWS Ed. Matthews, whose brain was perhaps even more active and versatile than his keen-witted brother's, — they were in reahty a brilHant pair, — left Princeton at the same time as did Harry, in February, 1878. He studied law, and going to Cincinnati engaged in practice there. He afterward died, — of lung trouble, it is believed, as he had a tendency to that disease. 163 m xm :\ir\i riN Mv i^sivUi\,\l (u>in (lu- 1 .iw IVjMU'tnUMit ot thv- l'ni\i-isi(\ ot Iuoiv'.m, t\.is lurn thi' jM.uti».'i' i>t l.iw In \c\A\ to \\\\M I h.i\ v' Ih-ii\ d«.>M>g sijH'c lcavu\g ^"olK'^f, I snnp'v woiiKl s.i\ , I \v,\\c hcvn t\\\\\i\ to mtnil in\ own Iuisimvss .iiivl \\o[ intrntuMi.iUv i\c[ m (l\v- \\.i\ oi o[\\^\ p^-opU-.

[Mac sailed for B'.urope the following year, this being his second trip abroad, and travelled in Spain, Africa, and Russia, during which time he wrote a number of articles for newspapers in America. — Eds.] I was married again, in 1894, to Miss Isabelle E. Wilbur, in South Bethlehem, Pa. I have held no public office, and have never been in politics. 1 have always exercised the privilege of voting for the best man for the best place, regardless of party or principle. I voted for McKinley both times that he was before the people for suffrage, but in local politics I have always been a Democrat, though I have never been allied to any party or fac- tion. I am now for the first time a candidate for a political office, and hope to attain the Judgeship of the Court of Ordinary, known in some States as the Probate Court, which has exclusive jurisdiction over wills. I am Captain of a troop of cavalry which forms part of the Georgia Militia and is one of the oldest organizations in the United States ; its cor- porate name is the Georgia Hussars, and it is known in the Georgia State Militia as Troop " A " of the ist Regiment of Cavalry, Georgia State troops. I am also President of the St. Andrew's Society, which is composed of native Scotchmen and their lineal descendants to the second generation. This society celebrated its one hundred and fiftieth anni- 165 AFTER TWENTY YEARS versary on November 30, 1900. My grandfather was President of the same just fifty years prior to my promotion to the honorable position of head of the organization. I am a member of almost every club or organization in Savannah ; and am one of the high officers, in the State of Georgia, of the In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows, there being one station between my position and the highest office in the State in that Order. I have since leaving college taken a more or less active part in amateur theatricals, and but few years have passed without my appearing in prominent roles before select audiences. 1 have the honor of being President of the Dramatic Association of Savannah. I certainly intend to attend the Class Reunion at Princeton this June, if I have to walk. WALTER L McCOY McCoy left Princeton at the close of Soph, year, 1879, and in the fall entered Harvard, '82. Hence it is understood that he no longer regards himself as a Princeton man. It may be stated that he attended the Harvard Law School, and became a member of the New York Bar in 1886. He practises in New York City, his office address being 149 Broadway. He was married, in New York, to Miss Kate Philbrick Baldwin, on October 17, 1888. They have three children : Percy Beach McCoy, 2d, 166' PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 born December ii, 1889; Philbrick, November 14, 1897, and Catherine Baldwin, September 20, 1899. ALEXANDER McCUNE ** They may rail at this life, — from the hour I began it, I've found it a life flill of kindness and bliss ; And until they can show me some happier planet. More social and bright, I'll content me with this." My residence is 613 East Twenty-sixth Street, Minneapolis, Minn., and my business address, 412 New York Life Building, same city. I am a lawyer and have never undertaken any other business or work since leaving college. The amount of success I have met with has hardly justi- fied my sticking to the text in the manner I have, but I like it very well and have made up my mind to stay with it to the end of the chapter, whether any success comes from it or not. What few ambi- tions I have, I am nursing along carefully ; indeed, they are too tender to display to the chilly blasts of even a friendly circle like my old class, therefore of them I say no more. It is with deep regret that 1 write that my class can have little to pride itself upon in my career. The only consolation I have is that few, if any, expected much, and the disap- pointment therefore will not be acute. I was married on October 20, 1886, at Lima, N, Y., to Miss Clara A. McNair. There have been 167 AFTER TWENTY YEARS born into our family three children — Clara, on Janu- ary '22, 1888 ; Mary McNair, on October 19, 1890, and Anna Louise, on March 21, 1893. ^Y wife and children are living. I have held no position of honor or trust, worth mentioning, save that I am now serving a term as Alderman in the Citv Council of this city. There is nothing else to be said under this subdivision of your circular, except that at this writing I hav^e es- caped any attention from the grand jury and the sheriff. In politics the Republican Party usually finds me a pretty devoted follower, but I sometimes kick on party policy and on nominations for office. I am a member of the First Presbyterian Church of this citv ; have no club connections, aside from member- ship in a neighborhood social club, which has a lit- erary name. There is little probability that my face will be seen at the coming Reunion of our class. A definite answer to this question is out of the possibilities at this time. I will say that there is no event I can think of which would so much gratify me to attend. Writing about one's self is a very delicate matter, and perhaps least said is soonest mended ; but I will say that I am cheerful, enjoy my friends, have a reasonable amount of good nature for almost every- body, am patient with the never-ending stream of applicants for political jobs, sleep well o' nights, am 168 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 endeavoring to cultivate a philosophy of life which will square with my success and place in life, and, finally, if I were just a trifle less " hard up " all the time, would be comparatively happy, Princeton men are scarce out here in Minnesota, and an '8i man is a very rare specimen of that genus. However, Harry Walsh is in St. Paul, Minn., and I see him occasionally. A year ago was the last time I saw him. He was then employed by some wholesale house. He was well and cheerful. Vanderburgh has been living steadily in Minne- apolis since the death of his father, which occurred about two years ago. His home is at the corner of Seventh Street and Tenth Avenue, South. He has no office or business address at this time. Van is happy over the birth of a son, an event which hap- pened during the past year. His other child is a girl ; I cannot give her age. Van made an effort to land the Democratic nomination for Congress in this district last fall, but failed of nomination. At present he is nursing his business interests and liv- ing along quietly and sedately as a family man. In conclusion, I will say that I hope all the fel- lows will feel disposed to poke their noses out of their shells just a little farther than I have mine. The successful men of the class ought to do it. We who have plodded along in the common ways of life have little to tell, but every one of us will be glad to have the other fellows spread themselves in 169 AFTER TWENTY YEARS the sunshine, and I promise them that we will not be a bit envious nor accuse them of bragging. HORACE McDERMOTT McDermott died on July 12, 1897, at Oxford, O., of paresis. On leaving Princeton he studied law in Dayton, O., his home city, and in June, 1883, ^'^^ admitted to practice by the Supreme Court. He continued in this profession until his death. He was married on March 21, 1882, to Miss 170 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Rosalie B. Thruston, of Cumberland, Md., and was the father of seven children, six of whom, as well as his widow, are now living. ;,f».***«i«fc 'M- A^ CHARLES McKEE Died at his home in Lewistown, Pa., of brain fever, July 31, 1882, in the thirtieth year of his age. McKee was one of twin brothers, born near Lew- istown, November 22, 1852. When seventeen or eighteen years old, he left school and devoted him- self to farming. Six years later, however, he deter- 171 AFTER TWENTY YEARS mined to resume his studies, and prepared for and entered Princeton. After graduating, he studied law in Lewistown until his last iUness. In the latter part of 1882 he was suddenly taken sick in the har- vest field, where he had been working tor several days ; and ten days later he died of brain fever, brought on by exposure to the sun. THOMAS EDWARD McLURE Died April 27, 1889, in the thirty-first vear of his age. McLure, whose home was in Chester, S. C, left college at the close of Sophomore year, and took up the study of the law. His father, president of the National Bank of Chester, writes us as follows : After leaving college, adopting the profession of law as a congenial life work, he entered the offices of Messrs. Hemphill & Hemphill, at Chester, and after the prescribed course of studv was licensed and admitted to practice in the Courts of Law and Equity, after examination before the Supreme Court of the State, sitting at Columbia. After having ob- tained his license, he remained in the office of Messrs. Hemphill & Hemphill for one vear, to further perfect himself in the practice of his profes- sion. His genial and courteous manners secured for him many warm friends and supporters, so that when he opened his own office in Chester, he had at 1/2 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 once a good practice, which continually increased until his death. In January, 1886, he married Miss Maude J r*^ i .timm*' •<«*»«. ' \ -^-x X.- • i "^^m^^ 4 ^^HP; .^H^HES % , , ;) 'z-r()oms to it, where the "mill boys" could pass the evening. Benches, chairs, and the like were fashioned from store boxes or any old lumber obtaina- ble. The fireplace was of cobble- stones, set in cement. No plaster was used in the Iniilding, but in- stead double walls were filled in with broken stone. To-day the 178 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 house is known as "The Neigh- borhood Club " and was dedicated by Mr. McNutt last September and turned over to the " boys " of the mill. The fathers, mothers, and children of the neighborhood share in its comforts. Three days ago Mr. McNutt came to Philadelphia and wants work in this city for a time. Later he will visit the coast cities "I am not surprised," he said yesterday, " on the hold that the saloon has on the common people. A man, if he's poor, is constantly compelled to accept their cour- tesies and necessities. I'm im- pressed with Philadelphia's splen- did institutions for educational and remedial uses, but I'm of the opin- ion that the provision for shelter- ing homeless men is hopelessly inadequate in the City of Broth- erly Love. Out of necessity and curiosity I have had a taste of Philadelphia's best cheap lodging- houses and have sampled the hos- pitality of the city's wayfarers' lodges. In nearly every case the physical and moral conditions of these places are invitations to dis- ease and incentives to crime." The Club-houbC tor Working-boys. Built by Rev. George L. McNutt. GILBERT W. MINOR Minor left college in December, 1879. He studied law in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., until Septem- ber, 1 88 1, and then, removing to Albany, entered the Union University Law School, from which he was graduated in May, 1882. He has practised law in New York City, and is now a member of the firm 179 AFTER TWENTY YEARS of Leslie & Minor, at 206 Broadway. His home is at 892 Park Place, Brooklyn. He was married on December 24, 1884, in Al- bany, to Emma J. Farling. They have had two children, one of whom, born in Albany, April 12, 1889, died in infancy, and the other, Helen Gene- vieve Minor, was born in Brooklyn, February 15, 1895. ROBERT GRIER MONROE 1. My business address is 15 Wall Street, New York City. My most permanent uptown address might be considered the University Club, Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fourth Street. 2. My profession is that of a lawyer and I have endeavored to make patent law a specialty. I grad- uated from the Law School of Columbia College in 1883, and was admitted to the Bar in June, 1884, and have been practising law in this city since that time. 3. 1 am not married and am not engaged to be married. 4. I was an aide-de-camp on the staff of Governor Flower from '91 to '94. I ran for Congress in the fall of '94 and was defeated. During Mayor Strong's administration I held the position of Attor- ney for the Collection of Arrears of Personal Taxes, a bureau in the Corporation Counsel's office. I 180 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 have been identified with a number of poHtical organizations and have been active in different campaigns, viz., the Reform Club, the National Association of Democratic Clubs, the National or Gold Democracy, the Strong and Low mayoralty campaigns, and the campaign for the independence of the judiciary, conducted by the Bar Association, in 1897. I was secretary of the "Anti-Snappers," which was the name given to the organized body of Democrats in this State in '92 who advocated the nomination of Cleveland for President. This latter was probably the most successful and effective po- 181 AFTER TWENTY YEARS litical movement with which I have been identi- fied. 5. As the answer to question 4 would indicate, I am a Democrat, — a Gold Democrat in national politics, and an Independent Democrat in local mat- ters. I belong to the Union, University, Reform and Princeton Clubs. I am also a member of the Asso- ciation of the Bar of the City of New York. I expect to attend the Class Reunion at Princeton in June. Grier has just been appointed counsel of the Com- mittee of Fifteen, in New York City, the citizens' committee organized for the purpose of investigat- ing the prevailing conditions of vice. — Eds. WILLIAM J. MONTGOMERY Babe left the classic shades in May, '78, and for a while played the role of gentleman of leisure at his home in Trenton, N. J. Later he went into mer- cantile business in New Orleans. The committee is informed that his address is 2520 Prytania Street, in that city ; that he is a wholesale grocer and cotton- factor, the firm being Montgomery & Parker ; that he is married and has two children ; that he has made two fortunes and spent three, and that he is still ahead of the game. 182 J. LEVERETT MOORE 1. Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 2. Teaching. The twenty years of my life since graduation can be summed up as follows : '81—2. Graduate work in science at Princeton. '82-5. Latin Tutor at Princeton. '85-'9i. Studying and teaching at the Johns Hopkins University; '87-8, Fellow; '86, '88-9, Instructor. '9i-'oi. Professor of Latin, Vassar College. When biographic duty's to be done. The professor's lot is not a happy one. 183 AFTER TWENTY YEARS The first ten years after graduation are briefly and sufiiciently set down in the Decennial Record ; the second ten seem to me to stretch back so unevent- fully that I had almost begun my account of them by omitting the very important fact that I am mar- ried and have a daughter. I still continue to be Professor of Latin in Vassar College, patiently waiting for some of the numerous daughters of my classmates to come and be new women. A profes- sor's life is at the best not " fast," unless he happens to be in Stanford University, or some other place where modesty is the best policy ; so I have noth- ing to say that needs to be writ large in the Record. 3. Married in Baltimore, Md., December 23, 1891, to Nancy Clark Williams; one child, Nancy Campbell Moore, born May 13, 1893. 4. Received the degree of Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University in 1891. Published my doc- tor's dissertation, " Servius on the Tropes and Fig- ures of Vergil," in the Atnerican Journal of Philology, vol. xii. ; and " Latin Prose Exercises," University Publishing Company, New York, 1898; am also preparing an edition of Terence for the Gildersleeve- Lodge Latin Series. 5. Am a member of the American Philological Association, the Archteological Institute of America, and the Managing Committee of the American School of Classical Studies in Rome ; also belong to the University and Princeton Clubs, of New York 184 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 City, and to the Dutchess County Golf Club and the Euterpe Glee Club, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. I am a Republican and a Presbyterian. 6. There are practically no Princeton men, let alone '8i men, in this section of the Union. Lan- don lives up at Staatsburg, but I never see him when he comes to Poughkeepsie. I voted for him, however, when he was elected to the Assembly last fall. LYMAN G. MOREY Morey left Princeton in May of Junior year and joined the Class of 1 88 1 of the University of Mich- igan, at Ann Arbor. He afterward took up news- paper work, and until a short time previous to his death had a position on the Minneapolis Evening Journal. He was unmarried. In politics he was a stanch Republican ; in religion, he was not formally connected with any church. In i888 his health broke down, and he was com- pelled to leave his work in search of recuperation. He went on a camping expedition to Berts Lake, Mich., and on August 8th of that year his boat was upset in a storm on the lake and he was drowned. 185 CHARLES ALLEN MUNN Almost immediately after graduation, I sailed for Europe with my parents and my old college friend, Morton S. Paton, of the Class of '80. I did much travelling and sight-seeing, and passed a delightful summer and winter abroad, not returning to America for nearly eighteen months. On the I St of January, 1883, I went into the Scientific American office, with a view of learning the business which my father had been instrumental in establishing many years before. Desiring to extend and perfect my knowledge of the professional side 186 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 of the patent practice, I entered the New York Law School in 1 89 1. In the year 1893 I took my de- gree at the Law School, passed my examination be- fore the Supreme Court, and was duly admitted to the Bar of the State of New York. Through the death of one of the members of the firm of Munn & Co., on January i, 1896, much of the active management of the business fell upon my shoulders. As attorneys, our firm has for over half a century been engaged in practice before the Patent Office, and I have been actively interested, not only in this department of our business, but in the edi- torial management of the Scientific American. My residence during this period has been at 14 East Twenty-second Street, New York City, and during the summer months, in Llewellyn Park, Orange, N. J., where I have had Powers Farr as a near neighbor. I am single. ["This fact," observes the above near neighbor, " is one of the great mysteries of the Orange Mountain. It is said that he is afraid of being married for a farm that he owns in the vicinity. His married neighbors think he should at least pay a heavy '' single ' tax for the benefit of those who are doing their duty by their country and have thereby incurred heavy liabilities."] I have not held any public or political office. I have made no inventions or discoveries, and have written no books or articles, save occasional 187 AFTER TWENTY YEARS editorial comments which happen to fall in with my professional duties. I have obtained no degree except that of LL.B,, upon my graduation from the Law School. In politics I am at present a Republican, although I twice voted the Democratic ticket, before the downfall of the Democratic Organization. I am a Presbyterian, I am a member of the following clubs : Union, University, Racquet and Tennis, Century, Grolier, Merchants, •Essex County Country Club, Baltusrol Golf Club. I expect to be present at the Class Reunion. SAMUEL H. MYERS •♦ The feather, whence the pen Was shaped that traced the Hfe of this good man, Dropped from an angel's wing." Sam writes : You and the rest of the fellows well remember my innate modesty in shrinking from public gaze, together with the fact that I have successfully dodged the sheriff of this county for the past twenty years ; i88 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 and if I were to write and give you the history you desire, I am sure the sheriff would have me within twenty-four hours after the pubHcation of the Class Record. However, with the understanding that I reserve to myself the right to enjoin you fellows from circulating this history in Georgia, I will, as briefly as possible and as accurately as I can, give you the history of my actings and doings since June, 1881 : My residence is in Summerville, near Augusta, Ga., three miles from the city ; and my business ad- dress is Augusta, Ga. I leave off the number and 189 AFTER TWENTY YEARS street, as everybody in Augusta either knows me personally by reputation, or is in possession of one of my due-bills. 1 am still regarded as a very " promising " young man. After leaving college, I accepted a position as entry clerk with the firm of Myers & Marcus, wholesale dry-goods merchants of this city, the senior member of the firm being my father. 1 re- member distinctly that my labors were very arduous and confining, such as measuring spool-cotton, counting pins in papers, and such other light work. This position I held for some time, when my father decided that inasmuch as he had carried on this business successfully for a number of years previous to my employment, he believed that he could con- tinue it without any further assistance from me. He then placed me in charge of a cotton business, where I remained for some four or five years ; and at the end of that time, owing to my special talent in this line, I had accumulated all the poor lands within a hundred miles of Augusta, and in addition thereto, as extra collateral, I was the proud possessor of every poor, blind, and spavined mule in the country. My father still had great hopes in my excellent but undeveloped business talent ; thought that with the proper encouragement and opportunitv I would be- come a second A. T. Stewart or John Wanamaker ; and established me in quite a nice dry-goods busi- ness in Augusta. Right there is where I reached 190 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 my limit. As a successful business man and pocket edition of either Stewart or Wanamaker, I was the most complete failure that ever happened. How- ever, as a failure as a dry-goods merchant, I was a howling success and played to standing room only. It occurred to me about that time that I had best read law, which I very promptly did, was admitted to the Bar, and now am the proud possessor of a swinging sign bearing in gilt letters the following inscription : sam:'Iv h. niyers, Attorney and Counseivlor at Lav*/, and as John Pitney said of me on class-day, " I am hitting 'em a natural rap." In answering the matrimonial question, not being certain about dates, I stated to Mrs. Myers last night that my classmates desired to know the exact date and place of our marriage. I stated that this information was not specially desired by myself, but was wanted to complete the Record. She was read- ing at the time, and I suppose did not hear me dis- tinctly, for she answered, " All her life." I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't seem that long to her. As a matter of fact, we were married on the twenty-fifth day of June, 1890, at Athens, Ga. My wife's maiden name was Honora Stern, I have wondered 191 AFTER TWENTY YEARS ever since that day how on earth I fooled Mrs. Myers. In reference to children, I can safely prove an alibi. We live in a healthy neighborhood, and my neighbors are all blessed with large families, whose children I borrow whenever the occasion arises ; but as yet the stork has never visited my house. The only offices, public, political or otherwise, that I have ever held, have been of such minor importance, that they have entirely escaped my memory. I am always found in the first rank of the privates, hollering and cheering for the other fellows, who usually get the office and the pay. I am generally on hand when the banners are dis- tributed, and usually carry one bearing such patriotic inscriptions as, " Vote for Bill Jones, the reformed candidate, free ballots and no counts," and other soul-stirring political devices. I have smoked enough campaign cigars, of the give-away kind, to make a Filipino turn white. I am continually hop- ing that some day my services to the party will be recognized and rewarded, and that I will be waited upon by a delegation of the best citizens (the news- papers refer to these delegations as being the best citizens), and as a fitting reward for past services I will be tendered the office of constable, justice of the peace, police-magistrate, or some other similar high office. Bv virtue of the fact that I live in Georgia, I am 192 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 a Democrat, and, as I said before, I expect some day to hold some political office ; it is immaterial to me what it is, just so long as it is an office. I am an active member of the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Elks, Red Men and numerous other minor fraternal orders. In fact I had a mania for joining, until Mrs. Myers remarked that she believed I joined these lodges more for the desire to get out at night than to deal in brotherly love, benevolence, and all such. I shall be at the Reunion in June, unless some- thing unforeseen occurs. I have not had the pleasure of meeting any of the fellows, outside of Henry McAlpin, who is liv- ing in Savannah, and from what I can learn of Henry, he is doing exceedingly well in the practice of law. [Henry, on his part, pays the following beautiful tribute to Sam. It is a most touching love-feast all around. — Eds.] " Seventh, the only man in this section of the country from our class with whom I have been much associated is Samuel H. Myers, who lives in Au- gusta, Ga., and who, after a checkered commercial career, found his calling in law. He started the practice of law several years ago, and is making quite a success of same. Everybody that knows Sam likes him, and they are willing to do what lies 193 AFTER TWENTY YEARS in their power to help him along. I would not be surprised to hear of his being one of the Supreme Bench of Georgia, in the course of the next few years." W. B. MYERS Left the college, in excellent company, in Febru- ary, 1878, and afterward went to Lafayette, entering the Class of '82. FRANK J. NYCE Nyce has never reported for any of the class's Rec- ords. He left college at the end of Sophomore year. His home was in Cambridge, O., and for a time he engaged in farming there. JULIAN G. OLDS We have not been able to obtain any trace what- ever of Olds. Van Alen is under the impression that he is dead. After leaving college, Olds studied and practised law in Newark, N. J., for ten years or thereabouts. He was married in 1889. About 1894 he went West. A Newark lawyer, a relative of his, writes that w^hen last heard of, he was believed to be prac- tising his profession in Denver, Col. The New T94 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Jersey Lawyers' Diary says, " Last address, Seattle, Wash." Circulars and personal letters sent to these and several other tentative addresses, however, have failed to elicit a response ; and none of the class has been able to supply information as to his where- abouts or his howabouts.

Pleasant Military Acad- emy, Sing Sing, N. Y. Then, the next year, I was Principal of the Oxford Presbyterian Academy, at Oxford, Pa. I then entered the United Presbyte- rian Seminary, at Alleghany, Pa., and was graduated in 1885. I " missionated " [the quotation marks 195 AFTER TWENTY YEARS are ours. — Kds.] in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Illinois, was offered settlement several times, and, accepting one, settled in Coulterville, 111. Sickening with malaria, I resigned and again took to mission work, laboring in Pennsylvania, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri ; settled at Mulberry, Mo., and built a mission at Amoret, Mo. Being offered a position in Greenwood, in a school preparing for Amnesty College (to take entire charge), I resigned and accepted this position. Typhoid fever prostrating our eldest daughter and threatening myself, I changed climate and 196 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 took up mission work in Nebraska. After some months, acting upon advice of my doctor, I returned to my native State, New York, and was seized with typhoid fever and held fast for thirteen and one-half weeks. On recovering, I spent several months in the Catskill Mountains, preaching to the " Moun- taineers " and " River Rats." Then I received a call to Elgin, N. Y., a small congregation, and accepted, expecting to have light work and regain strength ; and succeeded so that I could make my century run and more on the wheel and suffered no inconven- ience. I then began lecturing, using the stereopticon. This I found pleasant and profitable. I found I could reach a class of people that was difficult to reach in any other way, and they became interested. During this time I had given considerable thought to the electric telephone, and concluded to construct an experimental one, and thus succeeded in doing what has not been done heretofore and promised to be a revelation in the telephone world. I found my wife in New Jersey, where she was not lost; and we were married on September i, 1885, after m.y graduation from the Seminary, at her home in Wellington, Kan. We have four children, — Adena E., born June 21, 1886; James L., born November i, 1888 ; Annie L., born July 26, 1891, and Albert F., born September 14, 1895. -^^^ ^^^ well and doing well. 197 AFTER TWENTY YEARS 4.

I am a Republican, belong to the United Presby- terian Church, and am a member of the Christian Endeavor Society. Will attend the Class Reunion if possible, but may be hindered. HENRY M. PAYNE Payne left college at the beginning of Sophomore year, and for a time pursued the study of law at his home in Washington, D. C, with the expectation of practising with his father in that city. Later, he went into railroad engineering. The Record Com- mittee takes pride in furnishing herewith the first report that has been obtained from him since the one-year Record in 1882.

Previous to this and for some time prior to my marriage, I was engaged in the practice of my profession, railroad engineer- ing, in Montana and in this section of the country. I was married, May i, 1888, to Frances Ran- dolph Hargrove, in Baltimore, Md. I have three children, — Marion Hargrove Payne, born April 18, 1889; Sarah A. Payne, born June 17, 1891, and Frances Payne, born March 3, 1896. I am a Ma- son and a Gold Democrat ; also an Episcopalian. As far as I can learn, I am the only '8 1 man living 199 AFTER TWENTY YEARS in Washington at the present time. I meet and hear from men of other classes, but see none from my own. At this time I cannot say whether I shall be able to attend the Class Reunion next June or not. JOHN L. PHILLIPS Phillips went through Freshman year w'th the class. From 1878 to 1880 he was at the University of North Carolina. During the next year he stud- ied medicine at the University of Virginia, and dur- ing the two years following, at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City. His home was in Washington, D. C. About '84 he entered the medical service of the United States Army, becoming assistant surgeon. He was sta- tioned for a time at Fort Preble, near Portland, Me., and has since had several stations in the Far West. He is now full surgeon, with the rank of major. At the breaking out of the Spanish War, he was ordered to a camp in North Carolina, but his regi- ment was not fortunate enough to be allowed an ac- tive part in the war. Last fall he was at Governor's Island, in New York Harbor, and Gill, who met him there, states that he was subsequently sent to the Philippines. This is now confirmed by his father, Judge Samuel F. Phillips, of Washington, who writes that Phillips is now at Aparri, North Luzon, having been there since January. 200 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 He was married, in October, 1884, at Grace Church Chapel, New York, to Miss Daisy Horrill, and they have had two children ; one, a daughter, still living, Frances Lucas Phillips, born March 5, 1896. STANLEY K. PHRANER Phraner was the youngest son of the Rev. Wil- son Phraner, D.D. He was with the class only during its first year. He then entered the Sopho- more class of Williams, where he remained till the spring of 1881, but did not graduate. From 1881 201 AFTER TWENTY YEARS to 1886 he was chiefly in the West, part of the time in Kansas and part in Texas. In 1887 he entered Princeton Theological Seminary, graduating in 1890. In August of that year he married Miss Eliza- beth Pennell, of Omaha, Neb., and went out as a missionary to Laos, under appointment of the Pres- byterian Board. On February 12, 1891, Mrs. Phraner died, and for a time during the early months of 1891 Phraner himself was so unwell that he was urged by the medical missionaries to return home. Against their advice he remained upon the field, and went off re- peatedly from Chieng Mai, where he was located, on iong and fruitful evangelistic tours, especially to the far north. Several times his health seemed broken down, but he steadfastly refused to come back to the United States. Once he was willing to leave the field, and went to Singapore and then to Java for a month, returning to Chieng Mai ready for further service. On July 7, 189a, he married again, his bride being Miss Eliza L. Westervelt, of the Laos Mission. In June, 1894, he reported that he was in better health than at any time since reach- ing the field, and was planning, as soon as a new medical missionary might arrive, to go off to the north to establish a new station at Chieng Hai. The depletion of the missionary force by necessary returns to America on account of ill-health left him 202 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 with one other missionary to carry on the extensive and burdensome work of the Chieng Mai Station. He never murmured at this, though his heart had been set upon going to Chieng Hai. It was appar- ent, however, from many letters, that he would have to abandon this hope, and on November 8th, Dr. Peoples, who was with him, wrote that he was ad- vising him to return home at once, but that they would wait till authority might be cabled from the Board. Before this could be done he was obliged to leave, in December, and with his wife and two small children he reached Singapore, Here he died, on January 15, 1895. ^^ ^^^ buried in the Singa- pore cemetery, and Robert E. Speer, '89, writes that he went to see his grave while there, in order to see that it was in good repair. He left two children, — Wilson Westervelt, born July 29, 1893, ^^^4 Stanley Lansing, born Septem- ber 16, 1894. His widow and children are at pres- ent living with his father at 31 Lenox Avenue, East Orange, N. J. The Church at Home and Abroad^ in expressing sorrow at Phraner's death, spoke warmly of his earnest and self-sacrificing work, and said that the spirit of his four years of missionary service marked him as one of the most lovable, persistent, and inde- fatigable missionaries of the Presbyterian Church ; that his missionary life was peculiarly full of severe trial and suffering, but that he was enabled to main- 203 AFTER TWENTY YEARS tain through it all the same genial and hearty char- acter which all who knew him in his seminary course would remember. JOHN OLIVER HALSTED PITNEY ** The law is a sort ot hocus-pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket ; and the glorious uncertainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it." In response to your recent circular, I will give you the facts desired, trusting to the literary ability of the committee to get them up in an attractive 204 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 form. [In this instance there was no occasion for the exercise of the committee's alleged literary abili- ty. — Eds.] I. My legal residence is at 37 Washington Street, Newark, N. J. My place of business is at 765 Broad Street, in the same city. I reside most of the year, and will always be glad to see any of my class- mates, at 123 Madison Avenue, Morristown, N. J. 1. I am still engaged in the active practice of the law, and have had my full share of the business here. 3. I was married on January 15, 1890, at the North Reformed Church, in Newark, to Miss Ro- berta A. Ballantine. We have had only one child, — a boy, born December 12, 1892, named John Bal- lantine Pitney, a red-hot Princeton enthusiast, dili- gently preparing himself for admission to the Class of 1 9 13, with every expectation of a place on the football team. 4. I have never felt equal to a public or political office, nor have I enjoyed any position of public trust that was a private snap, although I have filled several positions that I consider an honor, and have had some gratifying evidences of trust on the part of the people of this city. I have had directorships in two banks and in a prominent insurance company, but no military rank since that enjoyed in college in connection with the Garfield and Arthur Light In- fantry. I have never delighted my enemies by 205 AFTER TWENTY YEARS writing a book, but I have made several inventions and discoveries which I am not giving away. Since leaving college I have obtained several degrees, at $14. each, all in the line of the legal profession, but otherwise cannot claim to have done any particularly noteworthy thing that should cause the bosom of our class to swell with pride. 5. I am a Republican and a Presbyterian, and yet am a member of the University and Princeton Clubs of New York, Essex Club of Newark, Essex County Country Club of Orange, Morris County Golf Club, Morristown Club and Morristown Field Club. 6. I expect to be in Princeton with my family during the whole of Commencement week, in June, and to be present at the Class Reunion. 7. I have kept pretty closely in touch with those of our class who live in the vicinity of New York, and can give you, or procure for you, information about any of the following, if your reports on any of them should not be satisfactory. If you will let me know some little time before the report is made up, I will be glad to co-operate in giving informa- tion about any of those mentioned. [Here follows a goodly list of names, Pitney proving to be the model of the class in his comprehensive treatment of question 7. — Eds.] A classmate writes of John : 206 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 " Doing exceedingly well professionally and in every other way, and is held in highest regard everywhere." H. CHARLES PORTER Polly's whereabouts eluded the committee for a long time. No one in the class seemed to know his address, as the question was specially asked in the address-list sent out with the circular of inquiry, and remained unanswered. After leaving college, he taught in Wilkesbarre, Pa., and studied law there ; and then went to Philadelphia, where he con- tinued both occupations. He taught for several years at Brown's, a prominent school for boys in that city, and was later an Instructor in the U. of P. The Decennial Record stated that, as its editors were informed, Porter subsequently " married a rich wife, quit work, and is now [this was in 1891] liv- mg abroad." We have finally discovered him, but he makes no allusion to this alleged and highly interesting episode in his career. He writes as follows: " My dear Dix : " Judging from your perseverance in sending out circulars, you have lost none of your old-time persistency of character. In looking back over my own life for the past twenty years, of whose passage your notice so relentlessly reminds me, I 207 AFTER TWENTY YEARS find a dearth of those incidents essential for an auto- biography, or even for confirming my present self- conceived impressions of what life means and has meant. " That I am still living, let this letter certifv, as well as acquaint you and other members of the class with my address, 22^2 North Fifty-third Street, Wynnefield, Philadelphia, Pa. " At present, I am teaching in a boys' private school recently organized in this citv. After five years' experience as an Instructor in the University of Pennsylvania, I find the original occupation of my earlier years more satisfactory. *' Of other men of the Class of '81 I regret my inability to send any news, not having conversed with an '81 Princeton man since the Sesquicenten- nial. Trusting, particularly for the sake of other members of the class in a similar isolated position, that you will succeed in making this record of the class as complete as vou desire, 1 remain," etc. Porter has the degree of Ph.D. WALTER W. PRESTON Was born in Harford County, Md., January 14, 1863. H^ attended the Bel Air Academy, and St. John's College, Annapolis, at which latter school he passed through the Junior class. In 1880 he entered the Senior class at Princeton, 208 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 where he graduated in Jane, 1881, with the degree of A.B, He immediately commenced the study of law at Bel Air, Md., and later attended lectures at the law department of the University of Maryland, and after one year at the University, graduated with the degree of LL.B. In 1884 the degree of A.M. was conferred on him by Princeton. In 1888 he was elected by the Democratic Party a member of the Maryland Legislature from Harford County, and was re-elected in 1890. In the latter session he was appointed chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and of the Committee on Claims, two 209 AFTER TWENTY YEARS of the most important committees of the House. In 1 89 1 he was appointed Acting State's Attorney for Harford County, becoming State's Attorney in January, 1892, by election of the people; and he was re-elected in 1895. He retired from this office on January i, 1900, having been continually in office for twelve years. He is now engaged in the practice of law at Bel Air, Harford County, where he resides. He mar- ried, on November a, 1892, Lillie Pue Hall. Besides the above-named positions, he is presi- dent of the Savings Bank of Harford County, and is Past Master of the Masonic Lodge at Bel Air. He is an Episcopalian, and is a vestryman of Em- manuel Church in that place. He will certainly attend the Class Reunion at Princeton in June, 1 90 1. He writes: " 1 would not miss it for any- thing." E. DUNBAR PRICE Died in New York City, December 4, 1890, aged thirty-two years. Price was in college only two months, leaving in November, 1877. By the death of his grandfather, Elon Dunbar, in that year, he inherited a very large income, which was afterward increased at the death of other relatives. In 1881 he was married, in Philadelphia, where he lived, to Miss Sarah C. Bur- 210 THE ATHLETIC HOUSE, UNIVERSITY FIELD, Showing Part of Base-ball Cage. THE OSBORN ATHLETIC CLUB-HOUSE, On Prospect Street. PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 ton ; the wedding being said to have been one of the events of the social season. He did not engage in any regular occupation or profession. ALEXANDER T. REID After leaving Princeton in June, 1878, I was in the National State Bank of Boulder, Col., for about four years. The next two years I was Deputy County Treasurer of Boulder County, Col. Then I moved to Denver, and was with the Colorado National Bank there for twelve years, when on 211 AFTER TWENTY YEARS account of failing health 1 became somewhat of a wanderer. I spent a year in the East, then went to California, where I stayed two years, most of the time being on a fruit ranch near Long Beach. My next move was to New York State, where for a year I was an insurance agent ; but last July, at the sug- gestion of Alex. Hudnut, I reformed and became a respectable citizen again. I am now cashier for Halsey & Hudnut, a Princeton firm on Wall Street. I am still desperately single, have never been married, and don't recollect being engaged. I was Sergeant of Company H, Colorado National Guard, some years ago, but it was a bloodless affair. Have written no book, made no invention, and done nothing that I know of to cast a halo of glory over the Class of '8i or myself Just led a decent life, paid such of my debts as were pressing, and kept out of jail. I am a Democrat, without reservations or desire for reorganization ; and a Presbyterian with slight reservations. I belong to no clubs or societies. I shall be at the Reunion if the walking is good. On the subject of '8i men, I have nothing to fur- nish, beyond the fact that Titsworth and I were members of a Princeton Club in Denver, which was instrumental in bringing the Princeton Glee Club to Denver some five years ago, — where they gave two very successful concerts. Beyond this, Alex. Hud- nut is the only one I've kept in touch with. 212 WILLIAM HUGH KENDALL Died of consumption, at Lincoln University, Pa., October 22, 1882, in his twenty-first year. Kendall was born June 29, 1862, in Madura, India, the son, it is believed, of missionary parents. He came to this country, and subsequently prepared for college, graduating with the class. His health became seriously impaired toward the end of Senior year, and in the summer he put himself at once in a physician's care. For a time his voice left him en- tirely. His hope was to study theology in the fall, with the intention of becoming a missionary. Grow- ing somewhat better, he was able to begin the course at Lincoln University, Pa., but in the fall of 1882 he succumbed to his malady. MICHAEL KHINE Every fellow remembers the genial and accom- plished Mike, now that his name is mentioned, and will smile delightedly at the memory. The com- mittee only wishes it could supply the thirst for ad- ditional information about him. He was with the class for a year and two months, and then went into '80. '8o's new Kecord, however, contains no men- tion of his career, its secretary, George Dunning, hav- ing had no better luck than ourselves in tracing him. 213 G. H. RICE After finishing Freshman year with the class. Rice went to Hamilton College, where he entered the class of '82. His home was in Elmira, N. Y. L. D. RICKETTS After taking a two years' post-graduate course at Princeton for D.Sc, Dave went to work in Lead- ville. Col., as a mine surveyor in July, 1883. In 1885 he resigned, and took a position as Superin- tendent of the work on some mining claims near Silverton, Col., for a New York company, and he continued this work for two years. In 1887 he ac- cepted a position as Geologist for the Territory of Wyoming, and was later State Geologist, but he re- signed in 1890 and accepted a position as mining engineer with various allied mining companies do- ing business in the Southwest. From 1893 to 1896 he did some mining upon his own account, gaining experience, and in the last- named year returned to work for his former em- ployers. He is still working for them as a consult- ing engineer in business connected with the mining and metallurgy of copper. For the past year he has been acting as Superintendent of a copper mine and reduction-works, during the period of construc- 214 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 tion and adjustment of the plant for steady produc- tion. He is not married. His business address is No. 99 John Street, New York City, and his resi- dence at present is Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico. He is not a poHtician, but is, if anything, a sound-money Democrat. CHARLES CARROLL ROBBINS If the committee only sought fiction, I could easily write a glowing tale, for I would not then be hampered by any limitations whatever and could 2^5 AFTER TWENTY YEARS make my career appear fine. I am neither a histo- rian nor a biographer, and so have been slow to take up my story and tell about myself. My residence is 262 Hamilton Avenue, Trenton, N. J.; my business address is 28-30 Forst-Richey Building. 1 have been engaged in the general practice of law here since November, 1886. I have met with suffi- cient success to keep on good terms with the few creditors that I have. I have had no celebrated cases, either civil or criminal. None of my clients have been hanged ; and I am not aware that any really guilty have escaped through my efforts. As I remarked ten years ago, Edna Thompson and I were married at Urbana, O., by Rev. George L, Van Alen, on October 12, 1887. The knot was well tied and still holds. The only child we have ever had is Elsie Robbins, born August 9, 1892. Her mother declares that she is very much like her father in many ways, from which you may infer a great deal. I was a member of the Board of Health of this city for nearly four years. I have been a member of the Board of Education for the past six years, and have just been again appointed for another term of two years. I was president of the board for three terms of one year each. I am still a Republican and a Presbyterian. As to other '81 men, I have seen more of Van 216 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Alen and T. D. Warren than of others. Van be- came tired of Quay rule and moved over into Jer- sey, and has become a real Jerseyman. Tom War- ren still supports the Republican ticket in New York, He and the officials at Washington created a post-office for him and gave it the name of Spin- nerville, and Tom was the first, last, and only post- master the place ever had. He ran it several years and then grew tired of it. I saw it in operation during the last week of its existence, and to the last it had a good delivery. The officials at Washing- ton let him out by recommending the rural free delivery in that section, and now Spinnerville is no more ; and all that is left is a memory and the stamp used for cancellation. T. D.'s address is now Mo- hawk, as it was twenty-odd years ago, with the addi- tion of R. F. D. for certainty and P. D. Q. for speed. I have enjoyed the best of health. Am happy and contented with what I have done, though I have won neither fame nor wealth. Have done nothing great ; never expected to. If I am alive and the trolley runs, I will be with you at Princeton in June. The trolley has made Princeton, and Trenton suburbs of each other, and my house is on the line connecting them. I hope that we may have a large number of the boys back, for the Reunion, and a very merry time learning of each other's prosperity and success. 217 EDWARD G. ROBERTS ♦* An elegant sufficiency, content. Retirement, rural quiet, friendship, hooks. Ease and alternate labor, useful life, Progressive virtue and approving Heaven." It hardly seems possible that nearly twenty years have elapsed since we were together as one class at Old Nassau. How time does fly ! and yet even now I don't seem to feel much older than when I was at Princeton, twenty years ago. I am still located at Columbus, O. My residence address is 415 East Broad Street, and my office address 265^ North 218 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 High Street. I have never entered into any mer- cantile business, but have devoted my time to look- ing after my property interests. I have done some building. I have spent quite a number of my summers since leaving college in Colorado, and have been to Flor- ida several times during the winter months. My last trip to Florida, which lasted about seven weeks, was spent on the Gulf coast, fishing. We went as far south as Naples, Fla. I am still a single man, and am not engaged, and, I may say, have no prospects, — at least, at the pres- ent time; but, of course, we cannot always tell what a day may bring forth. I have held no political offices and do not aspire to anything of that sort. I am a Republican in politics, first, last and all the time, and in the national elections always vote the straight Republican ticket. In local politics I gen- erally vote the Republican ticket, but occasionally make an exception to the rule, according to the character of the man who is running for office. I am a Baptist, but not one of the " hard-shell " sort. I am a member of the Columbus Club, one of the social organizations of our city. Am also a member of one of our bowling clubs, and we bowl one after- noon each week, from 3 to 6 p.m., the year round. I hardly think that I shall be present at the Re- union in June, but if I am not there in person, I shall be with you in spirit, and hope the meeting 219 AFIKK I \\ KN ^^ ^ KAKS will l>c a success. I can gixc no iiitonnatiDn in rc- oaiil to other Si nu-n, as I have seen \ei"V little of an\ ot them since leaNini^ college. 1 he only one 1 ha\ f seen ot late years is A. S.

When the hank with which he was then Ci>nnected went out ot business, he threw in his lot with the People's Light and Power Comjtany, of Newark, N. |.,with which Phil Jackson is pronii- nentU connected. Behind the cashier's desk there he hecame a tamiliar tigure, — " round-taced, smiling and hald headed," as one ot his classmates jnits it. llis he.ilth t.uling, he reliiujuished his position, and went out [o nan\ilte, Kv., where his father, the Rev.

He is a Republican. He does not expect to attend the Reunion. WILLIAM A. ROBINSON " Delightful task ! to rear the tender thought. To teach the young idea how to shoot." My report for the Decennial Record left nie fill- ing the chair of Greek at Lehigh University I continued for eight years to breathe the intensely unclassical but socially delightful atmosphere of 221 AFTER TWENTY YEARS South Bethlehem, meeting only those external and impersonal changes which do not belong to this Record. Two years ago, I was invited to take charge of the Latin department at Lawrenceville School, and after hesitation accepted the invitation. The changes involved were great, but on the whole worth making ; and I have found no cause for re- gret. It is to me a new experience, — and a very pleasant one, — to be thrown by my work into close touch with Princeton men, and to feel that whatever I do here with success counts directly for Old Nassau. I have to report but one addition to the roll of 'Si's new generation, — Thomas Hastings Robinson, 3d, born January 18, 1893. WALTER F. ROBINSON *' His faith, perhaps, in some nice tenets might Be wrong ; his life, I'm sure, was in the right." Immediately after leaving college I studied medi- cine, graduating in 1884, after which I spent about two years in hospital work in America, combined with general practice. I then went abroad and spent three years visiting and studying in the various European clinics and hospitals. On my return I re- sumed practice, and I am still at it. During the Spanish War I went to the Sand- wich Islands as surgeon attached to the First New 222 ^Wwi^\V%^^; THE TROPHY-ROOM IN THE ATHLETIC CLUB-HOUSE. PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 York Volunteer Infantry. The regiment was or- dered to Manila ; but when we arrived at San Fran- cisco, peace was declared and we considered ourselves fortunate in getting as far as the Islands, where we remained about three months, waiting for something to turn up. Our trip to the Islands was extremely interesting to me, though we all very much regretted not having a chance to see active service. The island climate is said to be one of the finest in the world, and this is one case where popular re- port is true. The morning sun is quite warm and shade is very grateful. About the middle of the afternoon, however, a dehcious trade-wind comes 223 AFTER TWENTY YEARS over the ocean, cool and bracing, and after that it is pleasant to ride, drive, or walk. As to the nights, the only word to describe them is charming. They were cool and pleasant but mild, so that I swung a hammock in front of my tent and slept in it, in preference to staying inside. To wake up at night was a delight, the air was so soft and balmy and the stars so bright. The large planets are so brilliant that they throw a wake on the water almost as large as the moon's. The winter following the war, I practised in Central Florida, taking with me certain patients who were unable to stand our severe Northern winter. This winter (1900- 1901) finds me doing the same thing again. I am neither married nor engaged, and each year that goes by finds me more and more confirmed in bachelorhood. I was formerly lecturer on Klectro- Therapeutics at the Albany Medical College, and 1 am told that I can have the position again if I re- turn to that city. If I am anywhere near New York in June, I shall certainly come to the Reunion, but it is im- possible for me to tell definitely. If I have to take my patients up into the woods, it would be impos- sible for me to come back just for two or three days. In answer to a further inquiry. Pop writes : As to politics and religion, I have the same opin- 224 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 ion as to both. They are the result of inherited prejudices, and largely due to the imperative need that man feels to be fighting with some one. Feel- ing as I do, therefore, I have no opinion, and not the slightest desire to take sides, anv more than I would in a dog-fight. ADDISON S. RODGERS Since closing the last chapter of my autobiog- raphy, in the Decennial Record, but little has hap- pened worthy of mention in this report. My 225 AFTER TWENTY YEARS residence and business connections are the same, and as given below. 1 am still single, with prospects fair to remain so. 1 am a Presbyterian, a Repub- lican, a member of the Lagonda Club (social), the Columbia Club (political), and the military order of the Loyal Legion (patriotic). I hope to be present at the Reunion in June, when any information not herein contained will gladly be given. Rodgers's home is in Springfield, O., and an agreeable and hospitable home it is, as one of the Editors of the Record can testify. Ad. is Secretary of the Springfield Gas Engine Company. FRANK M. ROSEBERRY I attended the Law School of the State Univer- sity of Iowa, at Iowa City, la., graduating in the year 1883. Thenceforth, 1 have been actively en- gaged in the practice of law, at Lemars, la. In my profession I have attained satisfactory success. I have been married fifteen years. Mv wife's maiden name was Delia M. Page. We have three children, — C. Depue Roseberry, born January 23, 1887, and now in his second year of the city high school ; Florence Mackey Roseberry, born Septem- ber 24, 1892, now in fifth room grade school work, and Irene Delia Roseberry, born June 7, 1896. I have held no political or other office, unless of 226 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 a minor character and in necessity. I have no de- sire to earn a Hvelihood by playing the role of a politician. The human wrecks in character, reputa- tion and possibilities are sufficient warning to avoid the side-track of my profession. I am intensely in- terested in the affairs of State, local and national, — a Republican in party affiliations, a Democrat respect- ing liberty and rights. I expect to assist in the fight against the great' corporations, or family organiza- tions, domineering the industrial field or reducing us to the rank of legal courtiers to truly industrial kings. If need be, I would prefer socialism to de- 227 AFTER TWENTY YEARS pendency. I have stumbled on no minerals, thought out no invention, nor stolen one from another. I travel the narrow field of the legal profession, which requires the entire power of my mind. Religiously, I am a believer in God, conscious in part of my imperfections, and have hope to live somewhere hereafter. I am a member of the Pres- byterian church of this city. I realize that my piety will never give me brain fever, but it is a good thing to tie to. However, all people of the earth stand as good a show to enjoy the felicities of heaven, as pictured by Dr. Atwater, as I do. I will probably attend the Class Reunion next June. ADRIAN SCHARFF Died at Nashville, Tenn., November 2, 1890, aged thirty years. The Decennial Record quotes the following facts : " When his father lay dying, he called to his bed- side 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 22S PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 1884, and practised in the local courts of Newark, until in 1888 he became Examiner of Claims and Auditor for the Fidelity and Casualty Insurance Company, of New York. He was employed 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 a Lend-a-Hand Club, met with the boys evenings, taught them how to carry on their 229 Ai n u rw i\ r\ vi aks c\\\h inc'c-tiiu;s |Mi^tiMM\, cntcrt.iinc\l tlu'in \n his hotuv.'.

SCHULTZ The fatal epidemic of fever which visited the col- lege in the spring of 1880 claimed two victims from our class, Schultz being one of them. His death came as a shock to all his classmates. He was known 234 THE ISABELLA McCOSH INFIRMARY. THE CHEMICAL LABORATORY. PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 to be ill at the time the college was hastily closed, early in June; but his death did not occur until the 28th. He had an unusually bright mind, a warm heart, and an alert, sunny manner which won and held friendship ; and his loss was very sincerely felt. ARTHUR H. SCRIBNER I have one event of importance to add to my re- port in the last Record, — my marriage, a little more than a year ago, in January, 1900, in New York City, to Miss Helen Culbertson Annan, also of 235 AFTER TWENTY YEARS New York. Her father was a graduate of Prince- ton, first honor man of his class, so that she appre- ciates and shares my affection for my Alma Mater. My residence is lo West Forty-third Street, New York. There has been no change in the firm of Charles Scribner's Sons, ot which I am a member, except that we have moved to a building of our own at i 55 Fitth Avenue. I have been fortunate enough to be able to get awav from mv work for several trips abroad ; last summer crossing on the same steamer with Frank Landon and his wife, and three years ago making the trip with Paul van Dyke, when we spent most ot our time wheeling through the Tyrol and Switzerland. Politics: Independent Republican. Religious afiiliation : Presbyterian ; Brick Church of New York. Clubs : The Princeton Club of New York. The Century. The University. The Grolier. The Racquet. The Aldine. The Seawanhaka Yacht Club. The Morris County Golf Club. The Ardsley. The Triton Fishing and Shooting Club. 2\b PERSONAL BI0GRAPHIP:S OF '81 I keep in touch with a good many of the old fel- lows, and my Princeton associations continue to be an increasing pleasure to me. Unless the unexpected happens, 1 shall certainly be at the Class Reunion in June. One of his classmates, whose name the committee will not divulge under torture, remarks : " Since Arthur Scribner became a supremely happy married man, he has given evidence of a con- tented spirit by an increase in stature which is be- ginning to attract attention. It might be better for his figure if his happiness came harder." HENRY SAYRE SCRIBNER '* Oh ! ye who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germanv or Spain, I pray ye, flog them upon all occasions ; It mends their morals, — never mind the pain." After graduation, I taught four years, and in the fall of 1885 entered the Johns Hopkins University and for three years engaged in graduate studies. In 1888 1 went abroad and remained nearly a year, studying at the University of Giittingen, and travel- ling. Since 1890 I have occupied the chair of (jrreek in the Western University of Pennsylvania, Allegheny, Pa., and have also taught English liter- ^2>7 AFTER TWENTY YEARS ature, — to my own delectation, though at the ex- pense of concentration on my specialty. I am also secretary of the Faculty. My duties here have en- grossed my time to such an extent that I have not as yet published any magnum opus, though I occa- sionally contribute to the city papers, as well as to the Presbyterian Banner. In 1899 ^ had charge of the Greek work in the Chautauqua Summer School. I was married in Plainfield, N. J., to Miss Mary Lee Myers, December 28, 1891. We have two boys, — Henry Lee, born March 29, 1893, ^^^ 238 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Joseph Myers, born June 14, 1897. ^Y li^^ dur- ing the last two decades has been happy and un- eventful. My home is in Ben Avon, a beautiful little borough on the Ohio, five miles below Alle- gheny. I regret that I have met very few '81 men since graduation, I have been an elder in the Emsworth Presbyte- rian Church in Ben Avon for several years. I vote the Republican ticket in national politics, but with a good many mental reservations. The Quay re- gime in Pennsylvania is not calculated to make a Princeton man very enthusiastic in politics. I fear that my duties will prevent my being at the Class Reunion in June, though I shall certainly be with you in spirit. HENRY C. SELHEIMER My Decennial report recorded me as a lawyer, practising in Birmingham, Ala. Since then I have been continuously engaged in the practice of my profession in the same city, and from the lawyer's point of view have been successful. In September, 1899, I formed a partnership with former Circuit Judge James J. Banks, which association has been very pleasant and will probably be of long duration. My present business address is, Rooms 401-403 Jefferson County Savings Bank Building, Birming- ham. I am neither married nor engaged to be mar- 239 AFTER TWENTY YEARS ried. I have never held anv pubhc or poHtical of- fice, or position of particular honor or trust, but have refused an offered appointment to a judgeship, and have recently been nominated bv the Dem- ocratic convention of my county as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention to be held in May, 1901, to frame a new constitution for the State. I am a Democrat in politics, rather weak in partisanship, and strong in independent proclivities on national issues. I have led a quiet, uneventful, yet, profes- sionally speaking, successful life. I presume we can all look back into the past and see where we have 240 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 missed opportunities or failed to wring from cir- cumstances the utmost of good and effect the best results. I have enjoyed good health, and my con- science does not accuse me when I recall my deal- ings with my fellow-men during the past twenty years. For the rest, while I have not brought par- ticular honor upon my class, I have not, I hope, disgraced it. I fear it will be impossible for me to attend the Class Reunion in June. I anticipate much pleasure from reading the Class Record, and will eagerly await it. I see so few of the boys here that I am almost ignorant of the doings or whereabouts of any of them. JOHN IRWIN SHAW " Fatty " Shaw, with others, was escorted with great pomp to Princeton Junction in February of Freshman year by the Class of '80, and went to his home, near Pittsburg. He did not return to col- lege, but afterward engaged in the business of pho- tographic materials and supplies in Pittsburg. He has since gone into politics, and is a member of the lower house of the Pennsylvania Legislature from Allegheny, where he now lives. He is a strong Quay supporter. He is married and has a family. 241 JAMES P. SHAW Poor Shaw's tragic death, at the time of the fever epidemic in Princeton, startled the college and the community, and made a deep impression on the class. He died on May 26, 1880. ROBERT ROGERS SHELLABARGER Died of typhoid fever, in Washington, D. C, January 10, 1889, in the thirtieth year of his age. After leaving college, Shellabarger went to Europe with Danforth for the summer, and, returning, be- 242 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 gan the study of law in his father's office in Wash- ington. He was duly admitted to practice, and became a junior member in his father's firm of Shellabarger & Wilson. He soon came to be re- garded as a young lawyer of exceptional brilliancy and promise. On June 17, 1886, he was married to Miss Sara Rivera Wood, and was the father of two children, — Mildred, who was born March 12, 1887, and died in July of the same year, and Sam- uel, Jr., born May 18, 1888. His wife died on June 23, 1892. 243 GEORGE M. SINCLAIR After graduation I spent a year in general busi- ness and looking around, and then took the engi- neering course at the Stevens Institute of Technol- ogy, Hoboken, N. J., receiving the degree of M.E. in '84. I afterward received the degree of A.M. from Princeton. Since '84 I have been employed in practising mechanical engineering, and have held positions with the Midvale Steel Company, Nice- town, Philadelphia, and the Bethlehem Iron Com- pany. Outside of these engagements I have indulged in a little manufacturing on my own account, first in 244 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 a small electrical business, later in machine-building. My present company, the Philadelphia Machine Tool Company, is engaged in the designing and construction of presses and machinery for working sheet-metals, testing-machines and special machines. It may be of interest to add that the problem of carving gold dollars out of cast iron is almost as dif- ficult to solve as the old i6 to i puzzle. I am not married or engaged. I am a Republi- can of a liberal hue, and a Presbyterian, though hardly of the (Princeton) Seminole tribe. If all goes well, 1 shall surely show up at Prince- ton in June. JOHN BONNER SKINNER " Thou troublest me ; I am not in the vein." Bonner gives us the marble heart. In reply to the circular itself, he sent the following chilly statis- tics : Business address, 16 Montauk Block, Chicago. Residence, 159 Cass Street. Lawyer. Married. February i, 1887. Jane L. Barnard. No children. Republican. Hope to. [Apropos of attending the Reunion.] 245 AFTER TWENTY YEARS In response to two fervent appeals for more and hotter air, Skinner frostily answers : " I know of nothing further to tell you. I have been eating three meals a day and sleeping about eight hours, with marked regularity. Still, I do not suppose this fact will particularly interest my class- mates, who have probably at times done things equally commonplace." 246 EDWARD H. SMALL " Better to hunt in fields for health unbought Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught." Hannah studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and then for a year was resident physi- cian and surgeon in the West Penn Hospital in Pittsburg. He then spent a year abroad, " walk- ing the hospitals in London, Berlin and Vienna, and incidentally travelling about." On his return, he at first settled in Allegheny City, Pa., where he re- mained for two years and a half; then decided to move to Pittsburg, built a residence with offices 247 AFTER TWENTY YEARS there, and has been there ever since. His address is corner of Penn and Negley Avenues. He has held the position of Lecturer on the Diseases of Children, at the West Penn Medical College, and has had charge of the same department in the dis- pensary connected with that institution. He has also been Assistant Gynaecologist to the Pittsburg Free Dispensary. Four years ago he was chairman of the Section on Diseases of Children, of the Amer- ican Medical Association. He is on the medical staff of the West Penn Hospital and of the Pitts- burg Hospital for Children. He was married April 2t, 1897, to Elizabeth Tirdle, of Pittsburg. " In politics I am a Republican mostly," he writes. " I hardly think that I shall be able to at- tend the Class Reunion ; but if things turn out so that I may, I will notify you." The chairman of the Record committee recently met a resident of Pittsburg, who knew Small's name at once, and spoke very highly of his practice and reputation, saying that he was greatly esteemed in that city. There seems to be nothing the matter with Hannah. 248 LEWIS H. STANTON On leaving college I went to Minnesota for my health, and from 1880 to 1890 resided in Stevens County, where I owned and operated a stock farm. In 1890 I came to New Orleans, and entered the banking and brokerage house of my father-in-law, Mr. Gideon Townsend. A few years later I be- came a member of the firm of G. Townsend & Co., and on the retirement of Mr. Townsend from busi- ness, formed, with the remaining member of G. Townsend & Co., the firm of Stanton & Littlefield, stock and bond brokers. 249 AFTER TWENTY YEARS On April 19, 1881, at Christ Church, New Or- leans, I married Miss Adele Cephise Townsend. My eldest child was born in January, 1882, and given the name of his grandfather, Edwin M. Stanton. Cora van Voorhis was born in July, 1 883 ; Gideon Townsend, July, 1885; and Mary Ashley Townsend, June, 1889. My family circle has re- mained unbroken by death and all enjoy good health. In politics 1 am a Republican; in religion, an Episcopalian, and a vestryman of Christ Church Cathedral. I will not have the pleasure of attending the Class Reunion to be held next June, my journeys north only being made in the late summer or early fall. Cordial greetings to all classmates who hold me in remembrance, and assurances of a hearty welcome, should chance bring any of them my way. JAMES B. STOKES Stokes was connected with the class only for a short time. After leaving he engaged in the steel business in California. He afterward retired from this, and is now living in New York City, his address being the Racquet Club, 27 West Forty-third Street. He spends his summers in Newport. He is still un- married. 250 WILLIAM N. STRONG Strong died, suddenly, of pneumonia, on June 6, 1892, in Brooklyn, N. Y. After leaving college, he studied law in Washing- ton at the Law School of Columbia University, graduating in 1883. He went to St. Paul, Minn., where he practised law for several years ; but the climate not agreeing with him he returned East, and at the time of his death was with Davies, Short & Townsend, in New York City. He was married on November 3, 1886, at Wash- ington, to Miss Josephine Douglass ; Rev. Richard D. Harlan officiating and Grier Monroe being best 251 AFTER TWENTY YEARS man. A child, William Strong, Jr. (named after his grandfather, the late Justice William Strong, of the United States Supreme Court), was born August 20, 1887, and from boyhood has nevet swerved in his determination to enter Princeton and afterward to follow in his father's professional footsteps.

J., and attended the Columbia Law School in New York, graduating from that school in 1884 and receiving the degree of LL.B. In the same year I received the degree of A.M., from Princeton. I at once entered into a law part- nership with my father, ex-Judge C. S. Titsworth, and after his death, in 1886, continued practice alone till 1888, when 1 entered into partnership with E. M. Colie, one of the leading lawyers of the State. In 1889, my health broke down, and I went to Colorado to endeavor to regain it. I was in a serious condition physically when I wrote my report for the Decennial Record, and my tenure of life seemed precarious. From 1891, however, I began to im- prove in health. I made Denver my home, and re- mained there until 1896, becoming practically a well 255 AFTER TWENTY YEARS man. I was admitted to the Colorado Bar, prac- tised law in Denver, and was also interested in real estate operations. In the spring of '95, while there, I was nomi- nated for City Supervisor, in a municipal' reform movement. We knew little of current political methods, and as they were not to our liking, we ran our campaign in our own way. We had the argu- ments, but our opponents threw the usual amount of dust in the people's eyes, some of our political friends who professed conversion sold out, and we were beaten. I led my ticket, and was afterward 256 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 told, by an opponent who ought to know, that some of our candidates had unquestionably been elected but had been counted out. In the fall of the same year we organized another reform movement to control the county election. I was forced to take the chairmanship of the campaign committee, and had the entire management of the campaign. We succeeded in electing half in num- ber of the principal officers of the county. In 1896 t returned to Newark, and have made it my home since. I entered again into partnership with Mr. Colie, and with Francis J. Swayze, who had succeeded me in the partnership when I went West. I remained in the firm until June, 1899, when I withdrew to accept the position of Title Officer of the Fidelity Trust Company, of Newark. I have the management of that department of the company's business which pertains to the examining and guaranteeing of real estate titles throughout New Jersey. As all titles passed by the company must be approved by me, real estate law has become my specialty. My residence is in Newark; my business ad- dress, the Prudential Building in that city. I am single, and am not engaged ; am a Republican in politics, and a Presbyterian in religion. I am a mem- ber of the Newark Athletic Club; the Newark Academy Alumni Association, of which latter I am treasurer ; the Princeton Club, the University Club 257 AFTER TWENTY YEARS and the Lawyers' Club, all of Newark. 1 am also a trustee of the Job Haines Home for Aged Peo- ple, a director in the Bureau of Associated Charities, and a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church. I expect to attend the Reunion in June. Later. — C. G. T. writes subsequently : There is a change to be made in mv report. I said I was single and was not engaged. 1 am now engaged to Miss Elizabeth L. Dawson, of Newark. This is a very recent development. Later Still. — C. G. T. expects to be married on the fourth day of June. GEORGE G. TOWNSEND Townsend lives down in Frostburg, Md. After graduation, he obtained a position as leveller and draughtsman in one of the engineering corps en- gaged in locating and constructing the Pittsburg and Western Railroad. He later entered the employ of the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad Company as draughtsman for their locomotive works at Mt. Savage, Md. After a short digression into the patent-medicine business, he returned to engineer- ing, and was employed by the Consolidation Coal Company, of Cumberland, in making maps and plans of their coal properties in Maryland. Since then he has invented a certain " pin-puller " 258 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 for mine-cars, and seems to have a pull with Dame Fortune in consequence. Despite three illustrated diagrams at the top of his letter-head, and several enthusiastic testimonials on the back of the sheet ("after taking but three times," etc.), the committee regrets that it is still unable to explain to the class what a pin-puller is ; but we have not the least doubt that it is an extremely good thing. George writes a cheerful letter, as follows : Upon my return from Washington, I found your second letter asking for information for the 259 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Class Record. I must apologize for not having answered the first one. 1 was wrestling with the grip when 1 received it, and didn't care whether the class had any Record or not ; after I regained my usual frame of mind, I could not find it (the letter, not the mind), and so neglected to fill out the blank contained therein (the letter, not the mind). 1.

[With reference to the photograph of himself which graces this account, Townsend remarks :] About a year ago I received a letter from Alex. Hudnut asking for my latest photograph for this year's Record. As I did not have a very recent picture, I had one taken by our special artist on the spot, and sent it to him. Shortly after he received it, he sent me word that what he wanted was a pict- ure taken lately. I wonder how old he thinks I am. Don't let him tamper with that photo, or palm it off on some unsuspecting girl for one of his own. GEORGE L. VAN ALEN *' Of right and wrong, he taught Truths as refined as ever Athens heard; And (strange to tell!) he practised what he preached." My " residence and address " are Blackwood, Camden County, N.J. After graduation from col- lege, I spent a year in a bank. In the fall of 1882 I entered Princeton Theological Seminary, and 261 AFTER TWENTY YEARS graduated in 1885. Since then I have been preach- ing as a Presbyterian minister. For the first ten years of my ministry I preached at Watsontown, Pa., occupying for a part of the time the pulpit of the church near by, at Montgomery, Pa. In 1893 ^ was called to the Mt. Airy Presbyterian Church, of Germantown, Pa,, where I preached until 1896. Resigning that charge, I spent some months travel- ling in Europe. I have since taken charge of the First Presbyterian Church of Blackwood, N.

W^ILLIAM H. VANDERBURGH " There have been holy men who hid themselves Deep in the woody wilderness, and gave Their lives to thought and prayer ; And there have been holv men Who deem.'dit were not well to pass life thus," After graduation, I came out and settled in my native city, Minneapolis, and entered into possession of a large estate inherited from my grandfather My- gatt, of Chenango County, N. Y. I built, in '81, the first modern office-building ever put up in this city. I studied law for two years in St. Paul, and engaged in real estate operations in St. Paul, Min- 263 AFTER TWENTY YEARS neapolis and Duluth. I went to the Columbia Law School, graduating there in 1885, and was admitted to the Minnesota Bar soon after. I was at that time elected director in the North- western National Bank of Minneapolis, and contin- ued in that capacity until 1893. ^" 1887 I closed out my speculative real estate holdings " on top of the boom " at an immense profit ; but four years later, embarking $550,000 cash in Richmond Ter- minal shares (to-day known as the Southern Rail- road), I was unable to hold on in the panic of '93, and lost all. 264 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Meanwhile, 1 took no less than fifteen trips to Europe, remaining all the way from three to eighteen months each visit. In the summer of '85, I walked all through Switzerland, with Dave Breckinridge ; and again spent a whole year and a half with him in '87 and '88, travelling over Europe, — and we had the greatest time on record ! In 1894 I was married to Mile. Jeanne Ferret, of Paris, France, — a cousin of Paul Deschanel, the dis- tinguished French statesman ; the religious cere- mony taking place January 31st, and the civil, Feb- ruary 1st. From 1894 to 1898 I lived in New York, trying to gain back fortune in Wall Street, but times were not propitious. In 1898, my father, the late Judge Vanderburgh, Minnesota's best known jurist, died, having served continuously during the first thirty-five years of the history of the State ; and I came to Minneapolis to take charge of his estate as one of the executors. The bulk of his estate was bequeathed to religious organizations. I have con- siderable real estate interests in Minneapolis requir- ing my attention, I have two children : a girl, Francine Mygatt, aged four, and a boy, Charles E., ad, aged one. I belong to the St. Paul Town and Country Club, and the Minnesota Club, St. Paul. In politics, I changed from Republican to Democrat on the silver issue, and voted for Bryan in 1896 and 1900. In the latter year I took an active part in politics in 265 AFTER TWENTY YEARS this county, running for the Democratic nomination for Congress at the primary election ; and made such a satisfactory showing that there appears to be ground for thinking that I have a good chance for nomination in 1902. My residence address is 923 Seventh Street South, Minneapohs. 1 have no business address. I ex- pect to be at the Reunion in June. PAUL VAN DYKE " My Lord St. Albans said that Nature did never put her pre- cious jewels into a garret four stories high, and therefore that ex- ceeding tall men had ever very emptv heads." The fall after graduation I entered the Princeton Theological Seminary, from which I graduated in due course three years later. Shortly after, I sailed for Germany, where I remained until the fall of the next year, except for a trip in the spring to Italy. I was enrolled as a student of the University of Berlin, taking courses in the History of Art and the Life of Christ. After my return I remained at home for eighteen months, preaching and writing. In the spring of 1887 I was installed as pastor of the North Presby- terian Church of Geneva, N. Y. ; and two years later was called to Princeton Theological Seminary, to take charge of the Department of Church History. I resigned three years later, in the spring of 1892. 266 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 The reasons for my resignation are sufficiently in- dicated in the following letter : To THE Board of Directors of Princeton Theo- logical Seminary, Gentlemen : I beg leave to resign into your hands the Department of Church History which has been under my sole charge for three years. In so doing I feel it my duty to make a frank statement of the reasons which lead me to retire from the service of Princeton. It has been brought to my knowledge, in a manner which precludes all doubt, that no man can be elected to a pro- fiessorship in this mstitution with the full approval of the present teaching force, unless he makes a distinct and un- 267 AFTER TWENTY YEARS equivocal a\owal that he accepts "the standards of our church in the sense which has always been put upon them bv the fathers, founders, and former professors of this sem- inary," that "he will conform his teachings thereto," and that he "will introduce no new departure in this respect." Such an a\owal I should not be willing to make under any circumstances or for anv purpose. 1. It is unnecessary and unconstitutional. The \ows imposed on professors bv the Church are sufficient, and I should find no difficulty in taking them. But I could not reconcile it to mv conscience to make such an additional avowal of lovaltv to a partv or tradition, because I believe that its exaction is not apt to promote the peace, uiiitv, or prosperity of our Church. 2. It seems to me to destroy libert\' of speech and per- sonal initiative, and to impose an obligation impossible to fulfil. I am unable to understand how the teaching of church history can be conformed to a traditional sense put upon the Westminster Standards by certain men. 3. It is evident that it includes a promise of support to a doctrine which is at present under discussion, i.e., pret- erition. Now I believe the Calvinistic theology to be the best which the human mind has constructed, but I do not be- lieve that preterition is essential to Calvinism, and I should not be willing to make it a test of orthodoxy. In regard to this point, while I ha\'e never been conscious of any want of harmony with the spirit, method or teaching of my re- vered preceptor. Dr. A. A. Hodge, it may be that I am not in perfect harmony with the present spirit and teaching of professors in this seminary. If so, it is certainly not due to any change on my part. 268 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 For these reasons I should always decline to make any such avowal as that to which I have referred. The knowledge that it is expected of me is in fact the reason why I must ask you not to consider my name in connec- tion with the future of the Department of Church History. This withdrawal leaves you free to fill the chair in accord- ance with the policy of the faculty, and leaves me free to serve the Church according to the dictates of my con- science. I remain, gentlemen, yours very respectfully, Paul van Dyke. At the same time that this letter was read, testi- monials from the three classes of the seminary were laid before the Board of Directors, expressing appre- ciation of my methods of instruction, and using the kindest terms about my personal relations to them. They were accompanied by a memorial and a peti- tion adopted in a mass-meeting of the students and presented by a committee, asking that I be continued in the service of the seminary. These papers were signed by more than nine-tenths of the students en- rolled in the seminary. The Board of Directors accepted my letter of withdrawal, with a kindly resolution of personal re- gard. I have recorded at some length this episode, because I thought it might be of interest to my class- mates to know that I had enjoyed the great privilege of being able to make a protest in behalf of the free- dom of academic teaching, which is now so firmly estabHshed in Princeton University, 269 AFTER TWENTY YEARS I accepted immediately a call to the Edwards Congregational Church of Northampton, Mass., where I spent six very happy years of work, being helped in the last three by one of my former stu- dents of the seminary. In the spring of 1898 I was much surprised by being asked to consider a call to the chair of His- tory in Princeton University, formerly occupied by Professor Sloane. The call was made, and two members of the Seminary faculty on the Board of Trustees voted for it. I accepted it, with the un- derstanding that my particular field was to be Mod- ern European History, from the fourteenth century to the present time. And I have since been very happily engaged in the work of the chair. I am unmarried, but have built a little house on the end of Library Place, where I shall always be glad to see my classmates. Williams College gave me the degree of D.D. in 1898. I have published a book entitled " The Age of the Renascence." My vacations have been spent in hunting, fishing, walking, bicycling, and travelling abroad. 270 WILLIAM T. VLYMEN " • Then here 's to another! ' says he, * to make sure. For there's luck in odd numbers,' says Rory O'More." Your notice of the close approach of our twen- tieth- anniversary has brought to my attention the unpleasant fact that I am getting old. Up to now I have refused to consider any such possibility, but your cold and searching questions on the retrospect compel me to face the situation. That reminds me that my eldest boy will be ready for College in 1902, and the next in 1903. After these, the series reaches so far that preparations for a new dormitory should be no longer delayed. 271 AFTER TWENTY YEARS My eldest girl starts for College in I90i,and the next in 1903. After that, — the deluge. As you will see by the horribly long list accom- panying this, I am fortunate enough to have a fam- ily. The children are all strong and healthy. I could give in proof statistics that would be interest- ing, but I fear lest to some weak brother they might be a discourager of matrimonv. Suffice it that, though 1 am both bald and gray, — paradox- ical but true, — I have been able to provide for our hungry brood bread every day, with butter on Sundays. All the years since leaving College, I have been engaged in teaching. I am happy to say that suc- cess seems to have attended mv efforts. My pres- ent position, I know, I would not exchange for any other in the profession. It is my happiness to think that my advice has led and will continue to lead a number of boys to Princeton. My writings, except a few articles for educational magazines, have been confined to humble but neces- sary school-books. I have just completed the Co- lumbus Readers in four books (Schwartz, Kirwin & Fauss, New York) and an edition of Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" (Macmillan, New York). The Christmas holidays of '99 I had the pleasure of spending with Thom in St. Louis. He has a charming wife and a lovely daughter. He is happy and prosperous. We read over the Class Record 272 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 together, and made additional comments where we had the necessary information. " Deacon Bradbury " is in use by nearly all the members of our family. We intend to train the younger ones on it as a reading book as they grow up to it. I have read it with a great deal of pleas- ure, and I beg to congratulate Dix upon its success. Of late years I have not met very many men of our class. 1 want to give notice that if any '8i man happens along in Brooklyn, he will be welcomed by me with open arms.

SPENCER VOORHEES " This goin' ware glorv waits ye hain't one agreeable feetur'." On graduation from college, I went to Andover Seminary and graduated with the class of 1884. My first work in the ministry was to organize the 274 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 First Congregational Church of Huron, Dak., which soon became one of the leading churches of the State. After a year in Dakota, I returned to Andover and took a year of advanced study. Then I went out under the Congregational Home Mis- sionary Society and did three months' pioneer work in the wilds of Arizona, after which I went, at the request of that society, to Fresno, Cal., and brought the struggling missionary church of that place to self- support as the result of eight months' work. Then 1 accepted an invitation from the State Committee 2/5 AFTER TWENTY YEARS of the Young Men's Christian Association to visit the colleges and leading schools of the State of Cal- ifornia and hold evangelistic meetings, organiz- ing, where practicable. Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations. I made the round with such a degree of success that I was urged to take for a year the position of State Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. After the close of this engagement, I was led to undertake missionary work in mining camps of the Rocky Mountains. In 1890 I organ- ized a Union church in Telluride, Col., 8,700 feet above sea-level, which has now been a flourishing, self-supporting church for ten years. When I went there the nearest railroad was forty-five miles away, and no religious services were being held in the county, with a population of over 1,500 people. [Voorhees was afterward in Denver, for a time, and later in Pueblo, Col. — Eds.] In 1892 I returned to the East and became pas- tor of the Second Congregational Church of Win- sted, Ct., one of the leading churches in that part of the State. After a five years' pastorate, I went abroad, returning in time to be appointed by the Governor of Connecticut Chaplain of the Third Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, to go into the " Yanko-Spanko " war. As the enemy were not sufliciently courageous to keep up the fight until we arrived, we were not permitted to fight, bleed and die for our country. After nine months of 276 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 camp life, we were mustered out, with experiences of various values. In the fall of 1899 I became pastor of the Ros- lindale Congregational Church, of Boston. We made memorable the closing year of the nineteenth century by raising a large debt and receiving a large number into the church. In politics I am an Independent.

I hope to meet many of the class at our Reunion next June. For the present, my place of business is Boston, and my residence is 37 Hawthorne Street, Roslindale Station, Boston, Mass. Voorhees's army experiences, which he curtails above, are given more fully in " Princeton in the Spanish-American War," a volume prepared at the request of the Faculty and published by authority of the Board of Trustees. From this it appears that he first reported for duty at Camp Haven, Conn., 277 AFTER TWENTY YEARS on June 24, 1898, and by July 7 the full regiment of 1,326 officers and men was mustered into the service, being the first regiment mustered in under the second call for volunteers. The summer was occupied with vigorous drills, and the men were put under thorough military discipline. On September 9th they were transported to Camp Meade, Pa., and brigaded, belonging to the Second Brigade, First Division, Second Army Corps. Here the cold nights brought much suffering to the soldiers. Af- ter four days, Voorhees was sent home with typhoid fever, and was absent on sick leave for ten weeks. During five weeks of fever he lost weight at the alarming rate of a pound and a half a day ; but dur- ing his convalescence, the five weeks following, he nearly regained this loss. He returned to camp, and in November they were moved to Camp Marion, S. C, a more health- ful spot. Here they remained until February, 1899, when they were ordered to Camp Onward, near Savannah, Ga., with the expectation of embarking for Cuba for garrison duty. Orders for this were, however, revoked, and on March 20th the regiment was mustered out and Voorhees returned North. 278 HENRY B. WALSH " Cheerful at morn, he wakes from short repose. Breasts the keen air, and carols as he goes." Walsh, after leaving college, attended the Colum- bia Law School for a year, and then went to St. Paul, Minn., where he has lived ever since. He was successively connected with a firm of stationery importers, a wholesale plumbers' supply house, and the St. Paul Ice Company, of which he was secretary and treasurer. He was married, in that city, on October 12, 1886, to Miss Nellie A. Newson, and they have two children, Alexander Robertson, born 279 AFTER TWENTY YEARS October 6, 1890, and Edward Stanton, born Feb- ruary 18, 1892. Daddy eyidently tired of being the ice-man, for he writes : " I have changed business connections, being now an embryonic coal baron, (very embryonic,) and de- vote my time to the interests of the Northwestern Fuel Company, of St. Paul." In other respects, he goes on to say, " my history, so tar as subject to pub- lication, '•■ has been entirely uneventful during the past ten years, and would be largely a repetition of the '91 Record. 1 still live in St. Paul, still work for my living (which implies that my fortune is still fut- ure), am still married, (same wife as before,) have same children, — no, have one more, a boy, Edward Stanton, who was not on hand in '91.

My personal contact with '81 men has been limited, and I regret that I will not be able to renew old ac- quaintance and old times, in June. * We have been unable to learn, from the Twin Cities' jiolice annals, what dark occurrences are alluded to in this mysterious reservation. — Eds. 280 HENRY D. WARREN 1 reside at 95 Wellesley Street, Toronto, Can. My business address is 45-49 West Front Street.

[Warren is president and treasurer of the Gutta-Percha and Rub- ber Manufacturing Company of Toronto, Limited.] In June, 1887, I married Sara Trumbull Van Lennep ; and have fivechildren, — Trumbull, Helen, Carolyn, Harold, and Eric Alden. I have never done anything sufficiently " note- 281 AFTER TWENTY YEARS worthy " in my opinion to be worthy of pubHc record ; therefore must plead an alibi. I belong to all kinds of clubs, and for all kinds of purposes, except politics, for which I have no fancy. 1 do not see enough of '8i men to be in possession of any information regarding them or their doings. As to my coming to the Reunion, I think it hardly likely that I shall be able to manage it. THOMAS D.

I am often, however, quite busy. To express myself more clearly, I try, by attending strictly to business, to get along with as little work as possible. I am not, as I was ten years ago, a justice of the peace or a postmaster. I insisted on retiring from both positions. In that historic tableau, I repre- sented an island, — i. e.^ I was a body of insistence entirely surrounded by general regret.

Died of consumption at his home in Madison, N. J., April 6, 1887, in the twenty-eighth year of his age. We reprint the following from the Decennial Record : Shortly after graduation, in the summer of 1881, he entered into partnership with his father, James A. Webb, at 165 Pearl Street, New York City, and until the time immediately preceding his decease held an important position in the firm and com- mended himself to his associates in business as a man of executive ability and comprehensive ideas. On December 2, 1885, he was married to Miss Nellie Sanford Packard, at Springfield, Mass. Shortly after, at a time when his career was blossom- 284 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 ing with promise 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 vitahty and vigor. During his enforced retirement from active busi- ness Hfe 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 consecration, coupled with the rarest forti- tude and patience in suffering. To perpetuate his memory, and crystallize the ideas that were upper- most in his mind at the time of his decease, his 285 AFTER TWENTY YEARS father has erected at Madison, N. J., a Memorial Chapel, which, by its artistic finish and simple gran- deur, will continue to recall a lite marked by like qualities, and at the same time furnish a meet op- portunity tor worship and devotion. HENRY BOARDMAN WELLES Welles died very suddenly, of hemorrhage of the lungs, October 30, 1890, at Las Cruces, N. M., aged thirty-two years. His sister wrote the Decennial Record Commit- 286 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF 81 tee : " 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 outdoor life, and made a brave fight, which we feel might have been successful if the grip had not come, to undo all that the climate had done. He was always very loyal and affectionate to Old Prince- ton." One of the teachers who fitted him for college wrote : " 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 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 heri- tage to the man who possesses them " JOSEPH MOSS WHITE " Much have I travelled in the realms of gold." White entered the class with the beginning of Sophomore year, and left it in April of Junior year. Little has been known by the class regarding his 287 AFTER TWENTY YEARS subsequent life, as he made no reports for the suc- cessive Records. Through the kindness of Wilder, '79, we have succeeded in obtaining an account of White's life from a Mr. Harvey Spencer, who was his friend and co-wanderer. When in this country, he lived in New York and Lenox, but it appears that the bulk of his time was spent in travel. Beginning with a brief first trip abroad in '82 with his mother, to England, France and Germany, he next, in '83, vis- ited Cuba, the West Indies and Panama; and cross- ing thence to England, undertook a long tour to 288 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 Ceylon, Australia and India. Returning to Europe, he later, in the fall of 1884, rented a country place in Hampshire, England, which he thereafter regard- ed as his home. In 1885, after a trip to Turkey and Greece, he bought a schooner-yacht, in which he became fond of making long cruises. The winter of '86 found White in Russia, and the following summer was spent on the yacht. After the autumn and Christmas in Hampshire, he went to Paris and Vienna for several months, returning to England for the Queen's first Jubilee, in June, '87. This summer was likewise passed on the yacht. In the fall, he rented a house in Paris for the winter. It was while here that White was taken seriously ill; and after an illness of some months, on March 22, 1888, he died of pneumonia, in the thirtieth year of his age. A. PENNINGTON WHITEHEAD My life since leaving college has been uneventful. In the fall of 188 1 I entered the law office of Mar- tin & Smith, 50 Wall Street, New York, as a stu- dent, and after admission to the bar became a clerk in their employ, and so continued until the forma- tion of the partnership of Duer, Strong & White- head, composed of the surviving members of Martin 289 AFTER TWENTY YEARS & Smith and myself. Of this firm I am now a member, and our office is at the same address. I married Miss Agnes H. Strang, on May 21, 1890, at the Church of the Transfiguration, in New York, and still remain in vinculis matrimonii. My married life has been such a happy one that I cannot say to my unmarried classmates that I would I were both almost and altogether such as they are, except these bonds. You ask if I have any children. Some achieve children, and some have children thrust upon them ; but I look forward to an old age unshadowed by 290 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 even a single olive branch, with a fortitude which those whose quiver is full can never appreciate. My residence was in Newark, N. J., until after my marriage, when, being brought to see the error of my way (commuting via P. R. R.), I moved to New York City, and have since lived there, my present address being 5 1 East Seventy-eighth Street. M.A. and LL.B. are the only degrees to which I am entitled. With these I am content ; for those whose degrees are numerous enough to make a great circle are not really to be envied. Although their merit may be indicated by so great a number, it can never be proved, as any attempt to that end results in an argumentum in circulo. In politics I am an Independent and Anti-Impe- rialist; and I am a member of the Presbyterian Church. The University Club, the Down Town Association, and the Richmond Hill Golf Club, all of New York City, fill my demand for club Hfe. From the use of the latter club, and its affili- ated clubs (drivers, mashies, etc.), has resulted the most important discovery made by me since leaving college, — that I can never hope to emerge from the duffer class. My classmates, i.e.^ those in that class, have my sympathy, and will, I trust, extend theirs to me. Leaving golf out of the question, I have no reason to be other than content with my lot. I hope to attend the Reunion, 291 ROBERT WILLIAMS " Young in years, but in sage councils old. Than whom a better senator ne'er held The helm of" — Trenton.

I , was ad- 292 PERSONAL BIOGRAPHIES OF '81 mitted as an attorney-at-law in June, 1884, and as a counsellor in June, 1887, and have been in active practice in Paterson ever since. I was married, April 23, 1891, to Alice Winslow Ingham, daughter of Major George T. Ingham, U. S. A., and a cousin of Will Ingham of our class, and have two children : Robert WiUiams, Jr., born January 27, 1892, and Henry A. WiUiams, born January 15, 1895. I was elected a member of the New Jersey Assem- bly in 1889 and 1890, and received the minority nomination for Speaker in the session of 189 1. I was elected a member of the New Jersey Senate in 1894, and was President of the Senate in 1896, and again in 1897. My only military title was that of Captain, which I received as Judge Advocate in the National Guard of New Jersey. I was appointed a Special Master in Chancery in 1896, and am counsel and director in several large corporations. My only political position at present is that of member of the Executive Committee of the Repub- lican State Committee of New Jersey. I am a Republican and Presbyterian. I expect to attend the Class Reunion this June. Bob is in line with the procession as a golfer, and is a member of the North Jersey Country Club of Paterson. He speaks of besting Jack Fowler at the game, summer before last, at the Atlantic City Coun- 293 AFTER TWENTY YEARS try Club, and of being bested in turn by Bob Cress- well at the same place.

President Cleveland Reviewing the Torch-light Procession of Alumni and Students, October 21, 1896. '8 1 AT THE SESQUICENTENNIAL October, 1896 By JOHN O. H. PITNEY Our class officers exercised excellent judgment in consolidating our Sesquidecennial with the Col- lege Sesquicentennial. The interest in our re- union was intensified ; and we may say, — modest- ly because truly, — we were a decided addition to the Sesqui. No class showed a finer class spirit nor a heartier Princeton enthusiasm ; and in the grand night pageant, none were more cordially welcomed and applauded than the " Old Continentals, yielding not." It is not intended to boast, but our classmates who were not present have a right to indulge a class pride in the knowledge that, in that grand celebra- tion, '81 played a conspicuous and worthy part. Our Committee of Arrangements (Munn, Hud- nut, Monroe and Scribner) had made every provi- sion for our comfort — had secured class headquarters, class dormitory and class restaurant. We were ex- pected on Wednesday, October 21st, and we began to arrive at noon, and were immediately lunched 299 AFTER TWENTY YEARS and wined bounteously. Then we attended a foot- ball game between Princeton and the University of Virginia, brilliantly played by such Princeton stars as Poe, Kelly, Church, (who afterward won fame before Santiago,) Cochran, and Hillebrand, who has since played on three champion foot-ball teams and three champion base-ball nines. It was a fine ex- hibition of Princeton skill, and warmed our enthu- siasm. As the torchlight procession was to start early, our dinner was served promptly at six o'clock, and was rather short and informal. We had donned Conti- nental uniforms of orange and black, and the boys were soon m the spirit of the occasion. If any flagged, he was promptly dosed with champagne ; a few of the empty medicine-bottles may be discov- ered in the photograph reproduced for this Record. Rose, the Princeton photographer, is guilty of this calcium flash-light. Some of the faces are hardly recognizable, and one or two scarcely got an eye- brow in focus. For identification, the names are given in the order in which they sit or stand. Those sitting, counting from the right, are A. H. Scribner, Hudnut, Powers Farr, Jr., (our class boy,) Titsworth, W. H. Roberts, van Dyke, Landon, Sinclair, Van Alen, and Wills ; those standing, counting also from the right, are W. A.

Our place was in front of Clio Hall, with right resting on the little cannon. Landon (who always spoke of the occasion as the Squashennial) acted as Grand Marshal. Harlan, gorgeously arrayed and in powdered wig, and looking every inch his part, repre- sented George Washington. He was seated in an open barouche, drawn by four prancing white steeds, which were led by four darkies in livery walking at their heads, and encouraged by two other colored gents on the box, — altogether quite an imposing sight. The class carried orange-colored paper lan- terns, and formed four abreast in two divisions, — one in front of the carriage, in command of Munn, Assistant Marshal ; the other following, in command of Pitney, Assistant Marshal. Other classes were formed in a continuous line skirting the quadrangle. The whole campus was full of light and color and shouts and songs. There were lusty cheers for Washington and the class of '8i as the other classes passed to their positions in line. President and Mrs. Cleveland arrived while we were being formed, and were escorted by the City Troop of Philadelphia to the steps of Old Nassau, where a reviewing stand had been erected. The front of the old building was brilliantly illuminated. Every window was framed by a line of electric lights, and threads of orange lights marked the outlines of the building and the old clock-tower. Strings of 303 AFTER TWENTY YEARS cranage lanterns were festooned trom tree to tree, so that the whole front campus was a blaze of light and splendor. The entire route ot the procession was gayly decorated and illuminated. Two effective arches had been erected for the occasion : one, at the corner of Mercer and Stockton Streets, spoke the Town's greeting to the University; the other, erected bv the College, stood in tront ot the Dean's house. The procession started at halt-past eight, in com- mand of Grand Marshal William Libbey, '77, headed bv the Seventy-tirst Regiment Band of New York. Crowds of spectators lined the way, and the cheering was continuous. As we marched through the town and then counter-marched, class greeted class with the College cheer. First in the line of march were the Mercer Blues, a picked company of undergraduates, caretully drilled, and uniformed in regimentals ot blue and buff; then came a dele- gation of about twenty-five Yale students ; then the Princeton undergraduate division, and then the Old Guard Division, made up ot alumni of the classes graduated prior to i860. The oldest representa- tives were two '39 men, and with one or two excep- tions everv later class was represented ; and a won- derful sight they presented as they passed us, — old bearded men carrying torches, grave clergymen, swinging lanterns enthusiastically, dignified business men carrying banners, and here and there a judge 304 THE '8 1 CONTINENTALS IN THE TORCHLI /tr/r^ HT PROCESSION AT THE SESQUICENTENNIAL. THE SESQUICENTENNIAL or chancellor with a transparency over his shoulder, all cheering and singing. Graduates had come from the far West, from England, from France, from China, and from India, to take part in the celebra- tion. Some of the class delegations exceeded one hundred and fifty in number, and altogether over three thousand people were in line. '79 made a fine turnout. They had their own brass band, and carried several elaborate transparencies, one of them representing the bas-relief statue of President McCosh which their class had set in the chapel ; another, the Battle of Princeton ; and another, the demolition of old East College, bluntly characterized as the Crime of '96. '78 dragged along a wooden cannon, from which a continuous stream of red fire poured. '77 escorted an enormous stuffed tiger mounted on a cart. '88, known as the "Horse Class," on account of the horse-play they so fre- quently indulged in in college, had a large delega- tion, the men in the front ranks with dummy horse- bodies suspended from their waists, making a toy cavalry effect. After following the line of march through the town, the procession returned to the campus, and, fihng alofig in front of Old North, was reviewed by President and Mrs. Cleveland, with whom on the reviewing stand were President Patton, Gov- ernor Griggs of New Jersey, Senator Gray of Dela- ware, and other distinguished guests. As the pro- 305 AFTER TWENTY YEARS cession passed the reviewing stand, the classes formed, Hne behind Hne, in the front campus, and all joined in singing " Old Nassau." Then followed a brilliant display of fireworks, with an illumination of the whole front campus ; there were handsome and stately set pieces ; there were bombs and Roman candles, and the air was full of rockets, both pyro- technic and vocal. It was a thrilling and impressive sight, — one never to be forgotten by those who saw it, but hard to picture to those who missed it. We left the scene with reluctance, and strolled back to our place of reunion, where a hot supper was served. Then in the small hours we marched around the triangle for "Auld Lang Syne," gave a parting cheer at the cannon, and adjourned to meet in the same dear old place in June, 1901. 306 THE CLASS MEETING IN 1896 At the Class meeting, held at the time of the Sesqui Dinner, the following business was transacted, as shown by the minutes of the Class Secretary, Dr. Arthur L. Kimball : The President, Mr. Munn, who is also Chairman of the Committee on the '81 Memorial Collection of Casts, presented a report on behalf of that com- mittee. (See p. 308.) The President and Secretary were re-elected ; Mr. Moore, on motion, being chosen to cast the ballot for the class. Mr. Hudnut was elected Treasurer of the class. It was voted to hold a reunion in 1901, on the twentieth anniversary of the graduation of the class. On motion of Mr. Landon, the sons of members of the class were invited to be present at the reunion in 1901. The committee who had acted in making prepara- tions for the fifteenth-year reunion were appointed, together with Mr. Duffield, as committee in charge of the preparations for the twentieth-year reunion. It was voted that the decision as to what should be done about the Class Fountain be referred to the above class committee. 307 AFTER TWENTY YEARS A committee on the Class Record for 1901 was appointed ; also a committee to draft resolutions on the deaths of Bedell and Danforth. Those relating to Bedell were entrusted to Mr. Coyle to deliver. Those relating to Danforth were sent to Mr. Will- iam Ryle, 54 Howard Street, New York City, to be forwarded to Mrs. Charles Danforth.

These are now included in the complete list of casts on pages 315 to 321. 308 FINAL REPORT OF MEMORIAL COMMITTEE, June, 1901 At the last meeting of the class held in Princeton during the Sesquicentennial Celebration of 1896, only an informal report was made concerning the additions which had been made to the 1881 Collec- tion of Casts. Your committee considered that material additions should be made to the collection before the time of the last reunion, and through the kind assistance and co-operation of Professor Allan Marquand, a number of important casts were im- ported from Germany and Italy during the spring of 1896. In all, over $600 was expended in mak- ing these purchases, and in repairing, mounting and placing them in the Museum. In the autumn of 1897 your President received a visit from Professor Frothingham, who informed him that some important reproductions of the beautiful but little known Memorial Arch of Trajan at Bene- ventum were lying in the custom-house awaiting payment of freight charges and storage. He asked whether your committee would like to procure these casts with the view of adding them to the 1881 col- 309 AFTER TWENTY YEARS lection. It appears that until the previous year, no moulds of the decorations and sculptures of the arch had ever been made ; but under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome, and under the personal supervision of Professor Froth- ingham, all the important parts of this historic work had been reproduced. They are regarded as the finest group of Roman relief sculptures now extant, and as the most important record of the reign of Trajan ; while as a whole the arch surpasses in beauty the better known ones of Titus, Septimius Severus, and Constantine, in Rome. The opportunity of procuring these fine works of art for the 1881 Collection was considered by your committee to be one which should not be lost, especially in view of the very favorable conditions under which it was possible to procure them. Through the munificence of Mrs. Harrison Garrett, of Baltimore, $1,000 had been subscribed, partly as a help in the very expensive task of making the moulds, and partly with the object of providing Princeton with some of the casts of the arch. The expense of making and packing the casts was so great, however, that sufficient funds did not remain to pay the expenses of transportation and of mount- ing the casts in Princeton. It was at this juncture that Professor Frothingham called, and made the proposition that, in case all bills were paid by your committee, with the approval and consent of Mrs. 310 THE ARCH OF TRAJAN, BENEVENTUM, ITALY. Showing the Taking of Casts now in the '8i Collection in the Art Museum at Princeton. THE SESOUICENTENNIAL Garrett, the casts would be added to the 1881 Col- lection. As a considerable sum remained in the treasury, the proposition was, after much consulta- tion and correspondence, accepted, and the members of the class may judge for themselves whether they do not consider that the reliefs from the Arch of Beneventum add greatly to the interest and value of the '81 Collection. In the report of the Treasurer published in the Class Record of 1891, the total amount of subscrip- tions to the Memorial Fund amounted to ^4,700.00. The total expenditures at that time amounted to |3_,844.94, leaving a balance in the Treasury of I855.06. The expenses of purchasing, transporting, re- pairing, mounting, etc., the casts purchased by Professor Marquand in 1896, amounted to I613.62. The expenses of procuring, repairing and mount- ing the casts from the Arch of Trajan amounted to $458.04. The total expenditures, including several small bills contracted in 1891, amounted to 14,963.- 60. The total receipts to June 13, 1892, amounted to $4,745.00. The interest on the unexpended bal- ance from January i, 1892, to January, 1896, amounted to $129.15. The small deficit of $89.45 remaining was made up by voluntary contributions. The account is now closed, but I am requested by Professor Marquand to remind the members of the class that the collection is not yet complete and that 311 AFTER TWENTY YEARS further additions to the collection will be more than welcome ; and that when the Art School is still fur- ther enlarged, another opportunity will be offered the class to extend the work which has been so suc- cessfully inaugurated. Professor Marquand has furnished a complete list of the 1881 Collection, which is published herewith. RECAPITULATION OF ACCOUNT -Rt'ceipis.

In 1 88 1 there were 491 names in the college catalogue, of whom 389 were academic students, ^6 scientific students, and 46 alleged post-graduates ; mostly seminary students attending scattered courses of lectures in the college. Five years later, in 1886, the total number of students in college was 500, that year marking the trough of a wave-motion on the line of numbers, whose crest was marked by ^66. Five years later, in 1891, the total number of students was 850; the largest proportionate in- crease being in the scientific department. In 1896 the total number of students was 1,088, of whom about one-third were scientific students. In 1901 we have a total of 1,277 students, of whom 109 are graduate, 749 academic, and 419 scientific students. 325 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Of our present graduate students, many are resid- ing in Princeton only for the sake of the univer- sity courses. Many are students for the degree of M.A., and all are required to pass examinations in their courses. The increase of students, therefore, in the last fifteen years is over one hundred and fifty per cent. In 1 88 1 there were on the list of the Faculty thirty-five names. Of these names nineteen repre- sented full professorships. In 1901 there are forty- two full professors, and forty-nine assistant profes- sors, instructors and other officers. In 1 88 1 the total endowment of Princeton was about $1,000,000, with an income of $60,000. In 1899 it was about $2,300,000, yielding an income of $114,000. The income from other sources, room-rents, tuition and entrance-fees, was in 1881 $52,000; in 1899 it was $158,000. The total in- come has therefore increased from $108,000 to $271,000 in 1899. This income does not, how- ever, represent any larger proportionate relation to our opportunities, increased work, multiplication of courses, and the standards of instruction among institutions with which we are ranked, than it did in 1 88 1. I am inclined to believe that so far as concerns the relation of our fixed income to our necessary expenses, we are probably poorer than we were in 1881. And it is safe to say that there is no college or university on the list in which we are 326 PRINCETON'S GROWTH ranked in popular estimation, which does so large a business on so small a capital. This has been possi- ble only because the rate of wages for all branches of service in the university is lower than that of any other institution of equal standing. There has been a very large increase in the num- ber of our buildings in the last twenty years (eigh- teen to thirty-five). And those recently erected have been costly, {e.g., Alexander Hall, $250,000; University Library, $600,000 ;) so that the value represented by our campus now is very much greater than in 188 1. In addition, from $50,000 to 1 1 00,000 have been expended on our athletic plant, and about $150,000 spent by graduates and undergraduates in the equipment of the eight social clubs. The most remarkable of the many new build- ings are the Library, Alexander Hall, and the group of dormitories soon to be completed on the rail- road side of the campus. The most costly is the Library, — a stately quadrangle, suggested in its style by Magdalen College at Oxford. It is connected with the old Library, which is used as a reading-room, on whose shelves are kept the books most often referred to by readers. The new building contains two large stack-rooms for books, only one of which is yet fitted with shelves ; and it is capable of holding more than a million volumes. It also contains about twenty seminar rooms, for 327 AFTER TWENTY YEARS small classes of advanced or graduate students for the kind of work which cannot be done in large classes. Many of these rooms have been furnished by private subscription. The effect upon the life of the University of the maturer work which is done in these rooms is very marked. The only drawback to the library now is the comparative lack of books. We have a library building and fixtures worth some ^800,000, and a library worth some |20o,ooo. Alexander Hall, used for Commencement and other public exercises, is an exceedingly handsome building, whose exterior combines solidity of ap- pearance and a beautiful scheme of color decoration in marble and mosaic and stained glass in the apse, which is in full view of everyone in the audience. The cheering of the undergraduates who often fill the large gallery on public occasions has a peculiarly resonant effect as it is echoed by the solid arch of the roof. The new dormitory group consists of Blair Hall, under whose tower one enters the campus from the railroad ; Little Hall, recently finished ; and a third building, not yet built but shortly to be erected by Mr. Stafford Little, who also gave us Little Hall. They will form an irregular and most picturesque line along the western side of the campus, in the style of the buildings at Oxford. When completed, this group of buildings will be one of the finest and most consistent bits of archi- 328 PRINCETON'S GROWTH lecture in America. The buildings will not be en- tirely joined, except by walls with gateways between, but will be treated as if they were one composition ; and indeed they are all the work of one architect. This form of dormitory, two stories high and divided by short entries piercing the building from front to back, has many advantages. It diminishes the dangers of fire and the contagion of noise, be- cause there are fewer rooms opening off an entry. It is more beautiful than the old high square style. And it is found that when you consider the aver- age cost per room, it is very little if any more ex- pensive. As far as the work of the student body goes, I am inclined to beheve that the industrious students do very much better work than they used to in our day, — I mean work of a higher and more mature character. On the other hand, I fancy the average student thinks it necessary to do less work than he did in our day. This is the result of a variety of causes. I may mention two, — the growing habit of sending sons to college largely for social reasons, and a consequent failure on the part of parents to insist that their sons must do their work at Prince- ton or go to work somewhere else. I may also mention the fact that we are in a transition stage. The expansion and improvement of our curriculum, the elective system, and the size of our classes, for- tunately compel us to treat our students more and 329 AFTER TWENTY YEARS more like men and less and less like boys. The best students are responding finely to these new op- portunities. I believe that the last half of the class will ultimately do so. There are many signs, nota- bly in the last year, of intellectual revival among the undergraduates, and there is reasonable ground to hope that within a few years the average A.B. degree of Princeton University will represent a standard of attainment raised to meet the larger op- portunities given by our enlarged and strengthened curriculum. No account of Princeton's progress would be complete without an allusion to the finest of all her achievements, the introduction of the honor sys- tem in examinations. I believe that this happy change lies at the root of the great amelioration of the relations between professors and students. During my three years' service, I have seen noth- ing remotely resembling intentional disorder in the class-room. And judging from my own experience, I do not see how it would be possible to improve the general courtesy, frankness and kindness of the attitude of the students, so far as I have come in contact with them. There is no single feature of the progress of Princeton during the last twenty years which seems to me more significant or more hopeful than this. 330 UNIVERSITY CAMPUS CLASS MlSCLLLANlLiS .i>, > ORGANIZATION *• However, as is usual in our city.

CLASS OF 1881 THE TWENTIETH-YEAR REUNION By J. Leverett Moore. The first act in 'Eighty-one's Twentieth-Year Reunion was the opening of the Class headquarters, at 32 Mercer Street, on Saturday morning, June 8th, by draping the Orange and Black banner with 1 88 1 on it across the front of the house. Hudnut brought in some flags and uniforms that had figured in the Sesquicentennial parade, which helped to give the rooms a pleasant and patriotic appearance. Early in the day the sale of the Record began, and everybody was loud in praise of its attractive appear- ance and fine literary character.* In the afternoon came the ball game with Yale, and headed by Charlie Munn and Dick Harlan, the Class, with 23 men in Hne, marched down to the University Grounds with brass band and banner, orange hat-bands and flags. The result of the game was a foregone conclusion with '81 on the field, and Princeton won with a score of 15 to 5 * This statement is entirely ex parte, because the member of the Committee who makes it is absolved by his inaction from any share in the praise. 3 AFTER TWENTY YEARS In the evening the fellows really got together, and with Dix at the piano broke forth into song, which continued until after midnight. This was the even- ing of Frank Landon's debut as a vocalist. Dick Harlan and Farr soon withdrew from the contest and left Frank undisputed master of the field. C. C. Cuyler, '79, was welcomed as a prominent mem- ber of the Class which we had come at the very beginning of our course to regard as a model and a friend, and all were glad to hear him tell about the great Princeton spirit of to-day as compared with the apathy of our times. This was no doubt an old story to the men in New York and nearby, who go back to Princeton at least once a year, but for those of the Class who live at a distance or who have been growing rather out of touch with the old col- lege, it was a great awakener of interest and loyalty. Sunday, the 9th, passed off as peacefully as one would expect, and in the evening singing and story- telling were once more resumed at headquarters. This was Sam Myers's night and he scored a great success in story-telling, pointing high along the lines of wit, style and high moral character of his anec- dotes. Landon would have to look to his laurels. Monday, the loth, was such a beautiful day that the athletic spirit of the Class awoke — a scrub game of baseball was gotten up on Brokaw Field. Dick Harlan, magnanimously waiving all the advantages which spring from a big family backing, challenged 4 SUPPLEMENT Vlymen to a lOO-yard race for the Heavy-Weight Championship of the Class, and Farr renewed his offer to defend the CJass Championship in Golf. Encouraged by their success, the Class determined to challenge '91 to play baseball the next day, and then adjourned to Paul van Dyke's for luncheon. Everybody enjoyed heartily the hospitality of the " little house at the end of Library Place," and especially the opportunity of meeting the wives of several members of the Class — " The Girls of '81" — Mrs. Dix, Mrs. Duffield, Mrs. Harlan, Mrs. Rob- inson and Mrs. Titsworth. As a social event, van Dyke's luncheon was one of the most enjoyable features of the Reunion, In the evening we gath- ered together at headquarters as usual and spent the time in singing and talking over things past and present. Tuesday, June iith, was made memorable by the ball game with '91. Never before had the un- suspected athletic powers of the Class been revealed in so signal a manner. It was well worth waiting twenty years to see Charlie Munn pitch the whole game through, growing more steady and more effect- ive with each succeeding inning. Van Alen cast off clerical dignity with his coat, stopped grounders and short-bounds and pulled down flies that looked like sure hits. But our " bright, particular star " played behind the plate. Regardless of dust and grass-stains Landon dashed hither and yon for foul 5 AFTER TWENTY YEARS flies and third strikes and electrified the spectators by the reckless abandon of his play. 'Ninety-one were not able to get out a full nine, but they bravely tackled "the old men of '8i," with what they could muster, and recruited their members from the spec- tators as their men dropped at the coaching-lines. They took a commanding lead at the start, but gradually '8i kept adding here a run and there a run, until at the end of the ninth inning the score stood — fateful numbers! — 19 to 18 in favor of '81. After the strenuous life of the morning, the Class was ready to attempt even an Alumni Dinner in the afternoon and listen to the long list of speakers^ including Harlan, as the representative of the Class, who spoke about the necessity of balancing the spirit of athletic enthusiasm outside by the spirit of scholarship and democracy inside the college. It was there that men shculd get the true idea of citizenship and grow to think less of their rights and more of their duties toward their fellow-men. The college man often fails to influence the com- munity because he regards himself as an exceptional being, not obliged to conform to the standards of honesty and conduct prevailing in the world at large. When the dinner was over, all the Class went to pay Mrs. McCosh a short visit, and after she had given us a most gracious welcome, Munn presented her with a copy of the Class Record — " After 6 SUPPLEMENT Twenty Years," appropriately inscribed by the edi- tor, Edwin A. Dix. We then attended President Patten's reception, inspected the '8i collection of casts in the Art Museum, and finally went back to headquarters for a class-meeting and a class- picture.* A business meeting of the Class was held at 6 P.M., June II, I90i,at the headquarters on Mercer Street. The minutes of the last meeting, October 21, 1896, were read and approved. The first business was the election of officers, and C. A. Munn and H. G. Duffield were nominated for President. It was voted that the candidate receiving the second highest number of votes be elected Vice-President of the Class, and a ballot being taken, Munn was re-elected President and Duffield was elected Vice-President. A. L. Kim- ball, Secretary of the Class, resigned, and nomi- nated E. A. Dix in his stead. There being no further nominations, the Secretary was directed to cast a ballot for Dix and he was declared elected. A. M. Hudnut was re-elected Treasurer, the Secre- tary casting a vote for those present. All the above officers were elected to hold office until the next regular reunion of the Class, which it was voted should take place in 1906. * Copies (price $i.oo) of this, as well as of the other picture taken on Saturday on the way to the ball game, can be obtained from R. H. Rose & Son, Princeton, N. J. 7 AFTER TWENTY YEARS The following resolutions were also passed : — Voted : That the President of the Class appoint the Committee to have charge of the next reunion. The following Committee was appointed : Munn, President; Duffield, Vice-President ; Dix, Secretary; Hudnut, Treasurer; Pitney, Scribner and van Dyke. Voted : That the President appoint such com- mittees as he may see fit to prepare resolutions in memory of deceased members. Coyle, Pitney and van Dyke were appointed as such a Com- mittee. On motion the meeting adjourned. SUPPLEMENT At eight o'clock the Class assembled at the Prince- ton Inn for the Class Dinner; 40 members were present, and C. A. Munn, President of the Class, presided. The order of seating was as follows : — M DIX FARR VAN DYKE VOORHEES PRESTON COURSEN HUDNUT SINCLAIR A. SCRIBNER W. A. ROBINSON MOORE TITSWORTH CRAVEN CAULDWELL HUBBARD BRANT VAN ALEN KIMBALL REID UNN HARLAN PITNEY LANDON FOWLER MONROE BUTLER CORY DUFFIELD JACKSON MYERS F DAVIS BROWN COYLE McMURDY T. D. WARREN ROBBINS MANIERRE DUNN THOM VLYMEN Schmidt was in town, but could not stay over to the dinner, and Symmes came in the next morning. AFTER TWENTY YEARS The menu was as follows : — H Little Neck Clams on the Half Shell T[ Consomme Royal H Olives: Salted Almonds : Radishes T[ Ken- nebec Salmon, Hollandaise : Cu- cumbers ^f Potatoes Parisienne H Tenderloin of Beef, Larded, with Mushrooms *\\ Green Peas ^[ Punch T[ Turkish Cigarettes H Roast Capon : Compote of Cherries ^f Asparagus, served cold ^ Broiled Philadelphia Squab : Lettuce Salad 11 Fresh Straw^berries : Ice Cream : Petit Fours 1[ Roquefort Cheese with Toasted Biscuit Tj Coffee lO SUPPLEMENT When the dinner had been served, the President read a Hst of the deceased members of the Class and a toast was drunk in silence to their memory. Then, after a letter from Armstrong had been read, Dix was called upon for the first toast of the evening — " The Class," all rising and singing " Here's to 'Eighty-one ! " Dix's speech was partly in a hu- morous vein, touching on various well-remembered incidents of our undergraduate days, . He recalled Dr. McCosh's solemn assurance at graduation that we were "the finest class that iver graduated from me college," and remarked that we could blushingly accept this as strictly true, since Jimmie himself had said it. " The class," he went on, " signalized itself — or part of itself — at the very outset of its Fresh- man career, by doing something that no other class, so far as I know, has ever ventured to do ; it turned the tables and hazed a part of the Sophomore class. Among my most cherished possessions is a lurid pink Police-Gazette woodcut of two certain as- tounded and indignant '80 men, standing with arms tied above their heads, their hair shaved off, and Horace McDermont applying the mucilage brush, and Ed. and Harry Matthews negotiating the pad- dles, while seven other members of '8 i stood around to see that order was preserved." After lightly re- viewing other incidents in the Class's college career, he gave a number of interesting statistics based on those in the Record, and enided with a humorous II AFTER TWENTY YEARS version of a current poem parodied to fit the class. When Dix had finished, Munn sprung a great sur- prise on him by presenting him a large silver loving- cup in the name of the Class, as a mark of their appreciation of the time and pains he had devoted to editing the Class Record and the great artistic and literary success which he had achieved with it. After Dix's reply the cup passed round the table and all present drank his health. Harlan was then called upon to respond to the toast of " George Washington," as he had once assumed that role amid the varied incidents of his checkered career. After a number of Washington and other stories, he closed with a tribute to college friendships, and declared that, even though he was thinking of becoming a College President himself, he would never fail in loyalty to Princeton. The Class then rose up and sang " Here's to Nassau Hall." Van Dyke, the excellence of whose household management was said to prove him a confirmed bachelor, was next called upon to speak for " The Popes of the Renascence" (cf Record, p. 357), and in response read a very clever poem taking off the various members of the Class. It was voted forthwith that the poem should be printed in the Supplement to the Record, but by virtue of that modest obstinacy or obstinate modesty which so rarely accompanies literary ability, van Dyke has 12 SUPPLEMENT successfully withstood all efforts of the Committee to obtain the priceless manuscript. Landon followed van Dyke and spoke upon " The Army." After a number of excellent stories, he dwelt upon the spirit of loyalty and union which pervades the College Class and the Seventh Regi- ment, N. G. S. N. Y. John Pitney had no trouble in making a success of his toast — " Princeton Spirit," and showed how the old pessimistic spirit, only too common in our time, had been swept away by the new patriotic spirit of the present — a spirit of loyalty to Nassau Hall, a spirit of manhood; then everybody sang " Old Nassau." The last regular speaker, Farr, responded in truly paternal spirit for " The Class Boy." According to his impartial account the Class Boy is everything that he should be — physically, intellectually and morally, and his father's chief ambition in life is to cultivate in him a sense of responsibility to the Class of 1 88 1. The Class then had the pleasure of listening to three men who had not been back to Princeton since they graduated — Hubbard, Myers and Cory. Hubbard had gotten up from a sick-bed, and Cory had travelled 3,000 miles in order to attend the Reunion ; while Myers, who had come all the way from Georgia, declared that if there were no other way of getting to the next reunion, he would walk. 13 AFTER TWENTY YEARS Manierre spoke about Billy Dodd's great work as a medical missionary in Cesarea, Asia Minor, where he has built and raised the money for a hos- pital of 18 beds, at which, according to its last report, more than 6,000 cases were treated during the year. It was voted that the Secretary transmit to Dodd " the greeting of the Class, and their appre- ciation of his spirit of energy and self-sacrifice in the important work which he is carrying on." A short poem by Blydenburgh was then read, the last stanza of which runs as follows : '' Though years may go, our hearts keep young, The ancient spirit keeps its youth, Our fellowship arose in truth And lasts the changes time has rung ; And fast our loving memories keep The thoughts of comrades laid to sleep. Close up the ranks while shines the sun. God bless the Class of 'Eighty-One ! " It was further voted that an expression of sym- pathy from the Class be sent to Kirk, who was reported to be in danger of losing his eyesight. The dinner broke up about midnight, and all the fellows went back to headquarters, where they spent a last delightful evening, or rather morning, talking over old times, and finally went off to bed about 3 A.M. Thus ended the Twentieth-Year Reunion of the 14 SUPPLEMENT Class of '8i, and the 42 members who had gathered from all over the country turned their faces home- ward with the conviction that, after all, a man's college life and college friends are among the best possessions in this world. The complete success of the Reunion was due in great part to the members of the Committee, who gave liberally of their time and money, but to no one in a greater degree than to Alex. Hudnut, whose careful attention to countless details and invaluable assistance in gathering materials for the Record deserve the thanks of all his classmates. Hudnut made arrangements for the headquarters, attended to the dinner, got up the menu cards, and did it all at a time when special activity in Wall Street was making unusual demands upon his time and thought. The Committee, therefore, feels that it is not going too far in expressing to him in the name of the Class a hearty appreciation of his services. 15 The Class Secretary has a little plan which he believes will be of value in keep- ing the men in friendly touch with one another; viz., to issue, every couple of years or so, a small Bulletin of Class news. In order to make this possible and interesting, every member of the class is urged to send, from time to time, items, clippings, etc., about himself or any other '8i man, to the Class Secretary, who may be depended on to use the material with due discretion. The Secretary has accumulated the following items since the Reunion, and takes the opportunity of adding them to the foregoing Supplement prepared by Moore. EDWIN A. DIX. i6 BULLETIN. May, 1902, MISCELLANEOUS CLASS ITEMS. FRANK P. ALLEN. Frank was in New York during last summer, on some Western mortgage business in connection with his law practice. He was unable to come on in time to attend the Reunion in June. Hudnut writes that Allen looks about the same as always, and is doing well. W. I. BOYER. Boyer's last known address was Belvidere, N. J. It has recently been learned that he left Belvidere several years ago and went South. Subsequently he went out to Mena, Arkansas, where he is now em- ployed in a railroad office. HENRY G. DUFFIELD. Following the death of Mr. E. C. Osborn, Treas- urer of Princeton University, Henry was, in Octo- ber, 1 90 1, chosen by the Board of Trustees as University Treasurer. 17 AFTER TWENTY YEARS RICHARD D. HARLAN. In September last, Dick became President of Lake Forest College, 111. He spends his summers in Murray Bay on the St. Lawrence. GRiEME HARRISON. Harrison's name figured in the New York papers, last fall, by reason of a visit of his wife to this country and the reported loss of jewels of hers valued at ^15,000. It was supposed that they were stolen, but this proved not to be the case, and they were shortly after found. Mrs. Harrison soon after sailed for England to rejoin her husband, accom- panied by her two daughters by a former marriage, the Misses Marquand. R. H. HUTCHINS. The address of Hutchins, who is an M.D., is West State Street, Sharon, Pa. JOHN L. KIRK. It will be remembered that at the time of the Reunion, John was threatened with the total loss of his eyesight, and the Class instructed the Secretary to send him its united condolence and sympathy. By dint of assiduous care on the part of his wife, and of Very skilful treatment, he is now much better, and writes that, while he still has to be careful, he can use his eyes again, and is " inside the safety line." 18 BULLETIN FRANCIS G. LANDON. Since the Reunion, Frank has again been elected a member of the New York Assembly. He has another daughter, Eleanor, born July 28, 1901. CHARLES W. LYNDE. Lynde is reported to have forsworn America and the Americans. The Record has told of his mar- riage, divorce and remarriage, and also of the suit brought and won by his first wife to obtain a portion of the 1^500,000 inherited by Lynde from his father. The decision against him made him bitterly declare that there is no justice to be had in the courts of this country. He is now reported to have sold his Long Island estate at Blue Point, L. I., valued at ^30,000, for $7,000, and other property in proportion, and he intends to transfer all his interests to England, live in Kent, and become a British subject. The N. Y. World says that Lynde has doubled his half million by speculation and judicious investment. GEORGE L. McNUTT. McNutt appears to be still carrying on his work- ingman and dinner-pail experiences, and has been reported in the papers during the winter as deliver- ing addresses before the Presbyterian Ministers' As- sociation, N. Y. City, and elsewhere, on sociological subjects. 19 AFTER TWENTY YEARS ROBERT GRIER MONROE. Since the New York election last fall, Grier has been acting as attorney for the Citizens' Union in the prosecution of fraudulent election cases ; and for a time it was stated that he was slated to succeed Devery as Deputy Commissioner of Police. The report started at the time of a dinner given by Mayor-elect Low to Col. John N. Partridge, the new Police Commissioner ; Jerome, the District-Attorney elect ; Robert C. Morris, the President of the Re- publican County Committee, and Grier Monroe. One of the papers editorially remarked : " Col. Monroe is just the type of man that Mr. Low has wanted from the start. He is a lawyer and an inde- pendent Democrat. Consequently he would be well fitted for the trial of policemen, and for the various duties which Devery has been ' touchin' on an' appertainin' to ' up to the present time." Grier was not made Deputy Commissioner, after all ; but the incident shows that he is still very much alive, and a prominent figure in New York local councils. J. LEVERETT MOORE. Levie reports the birth of a second daughter, Fi- delia Leverett Moore, born August 7, 1901. 20 BULLETIN CHARLES A. MUNN. Munn sailed for Europe on April 30, to be gone about two months. He expects to be at the coro- nation. J. O. H. PITNEY. Pitney has formed a law partnership with John R. Hardin of '80, at 765 Broad St., Newark, N. J., under the firm name of Pitney & Hardin. EDWARD RHINE. Rhine is in New York City, engaged in the Im- porting and manufacturing business. His lines are millinery and hat tips, silks, ribbons, etc., and his business address is 61 East 9th St., whither he has recently removed from 775 Broadway. His home is in Mt. Vernon, N. Y. He looks hearty and healthy and happy, and seems quite ready to renew his interest in Princeton and the Class. He was married on June 6, 1895, ^^ Miss Emma Florence Patton, at Philadelphia. They have had four children : Elinor Florence, born March 29, 1886; Arthur Edward, born January 16, 1888; Percival Robert, born July i, 1891; and Marie Louise, born February 11, 1894, died February 20, Rhine is a Methodist, and his politics are Repub- lican. He has done a little mventmg, in the line of 21 AFTER TWENTY YEARS a bicycle improvement, but for the most part has devoted himself steadily to his business. ADDISON S. RODGERS. Rodgers was married on June 27, 1901, to Miss Anna Trigg Payne Hargis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Thomas F. Hargis, at Louisville, Kentucky. HENRY S. SCRIBNER. Scribner, who is a professor of Greek at the Western University of Pennsylvania, Allegheny, is to have charge, this summer, of the Greek and Latin classes at the summer school of languages at Mar- tha's Vineyard. CHARLES G. TITSWORTH. Titsworth was married on June 4, 1901, at New- ark, N. J., to Miss Elizabeth Linen Dawson. Li July they sailed for Europe, making an extensive trip and being away over two months. They have since taken a house at 18 Camp Street, Newark, where they have made their home. PAUL VAN DYKE. Is going abroad this summer. THOMAS D. V^ARREN. Tommy sailed in January of this year, on the Auguste Victoria, for a winter tour of the Mediter- 22 BULLETIN ranean, visiting Algiers, Egypt, the Holy Land, Turkey, Greece and Italy. The trip occupied nearly three months. As an evidence of the deep and solemn impression that the storied scenes of the Bible made on T. D.'s receptive and awestruck mind, the Secretary may be permitted to quote from a let- ter received during the trip. Tommy says, with simplicity and sincerity : " Jerusalem is a peach, isn't It?" J. M. WILSON. Van Alen went West last summer, and among other things made a brief visit to Boulder, CoL He writes : " I saw Wilson during the last week of July. He is preaching in the Boulder Presbyterian Church, and was doing good work. He teaches in the State University at Boulder, in the department of social science. I think he lectures in this course once a week. He also figures in the religious life of the institution, in chapel exercises and otherwise. He was further delivering lectures occasionally at the Boulder Chautauqua camp." 23 DIRECTORY 367 DIRECTORY Judge Frank P. Allen, C.E., Lisbon, North Dakota. James R.
