The strain of frequent ill health and serious family trouble, the wearing anticipation and dread reality of massacre, the daily sight of an over- whelming mass of human misery, the apparent hopelessness of any lasting improvement in the po- sition and the pressure of never ending work and responsibility, all have been endured with the same unflinching courage, unvarying tact and temper and lofty devotion to duty. Not the least of his lovable qualities is his entire absence of self-con- sciousness. I am quite sure that he has never real- ized that the services which he has rendered to hu- manity are in any wise remarkable, and that noth- ing would surprise him more than to be told by those who have watched him at his work that his is an example to all men of a noble and unselfish life. BEV. CHARLES B. CHAPIN, A.M., D.D., 117 Convent Avenue, New York City. "My life since the last report, in 1896, has been a quiet but very busy one. For over eight years I have been the pastor of the Hamilton Grange Reformed Church, New York City, This church, at present without a suitable edifice, occu- pies a strategic position in what is destined to be one of the finest residential sections of Greater 17 New York. I have been and am straining every nerve to secure a building, and thus develop one of the strong churches of our denomination (Dutch Reformed) in the greatest city of our land. "In addition, I have written more or less for the religious press, have delivered outside addresses of various kinds, have been an officer in various re- ligious and charitable organizations, secretary and vice-president of the Patria Club of our city — in short, I have striven to meet the many demand.s of many kinds made upon a city pastor. "Received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from the New York University, June 8, 1895. 4. "Francis Stuart Chapin, born February 3, 1888. 5. "There should be more psychological study given by educators to child life, to the nature, make-up and mind of the child. Secondary edu- cation would then in some respects be changed. It would become more scientific in the sense of being more intelligent. "The present tendency toward manual and in- dustrial training in connection with the mental is an eminently wise one, in my opinion. 6. "As to Princeton University, there should not be, in my judgment, less of the classical and dis- ciplinary, from the mental standpoint, for this is of necessity the foundation of true education ; but the tendency should be more and more to the prac- tical ; that is, towards more opportunities for men to study those branches to which they have a nat- 18 ural bent, and which will help them the most in their after lives. 7. "(i) As to Character: Character is the most important thing in a man's life. And character is not what a man says or does or acquires ; it is not even his reputation ; but it is what he himself real- ly is in his heart and soul before his God. "(2) As to Success: There are two kinds, i. e., worldly and real. Worldly success is that viewed from the human side, i. e., power, place, wealth, reputation ; and this is more often the result of circumstances than of true merit. "Real success is, as an out-and-out Christian, to fill the place God made a man to fill, and to do the work well he wants him to do. This may be in connection with fame and riches. Oftener it is not.. Oftener the truest successes are hidden from the world, and will never here be known. "(3) As to Wisdom: The wisest man in old '76 will be, not the man who acquires the most of this world's knowledge and culture; not the man who makes the most of this world and gets the most out of it ; not even the man who does the most for others from the humanitarian standpoint; but the man who lives and sacrifices the most for the King- dom of God, that it may be extended in the earth."' REV. HARRISON CLARKE, Boulder, Colorado. "Since the last report, I remained as pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Coal City, Illinois, un- til October, 1899, when we moved to this place at 19 the foot of the Rockies, on account of Mrs. Clarke's health. We came to Boulder to live for a year or so, as an experiment, to see whether the climate would prove beneficial. It having done so, I ex- pect to remain in the region of the Rockies and engage in church or educational work. " Boulder is about thirty miles northwest of Den- ver, and is the seat of the State University, the State Preparatory School, and the Texas-Colorado Chau- tauqua, said to be the second largest in the country. "Beautiful scenery; fine climate; rare and dry at- mosphere ; altitude, one mile. Arrived here Octo- ber 14, 1899. "In May, 1899, I was a Commissioner from the Presbytery of Chicago to the General Assembly at Minneapolis, Minn., and there met Beach, Scudder and Symmes. Also attended a banquet of the Prince- ton men in the Assembly, at the West Hotel. 5. "As for secondary education, the public schools are too much encumbered, if not cursed, with fads, frills, and ginger-bread. Too much time wasted on things of but little, if any, value. Too little of real teaching and training done. "The high schools and academies have reached their limit. They now require a four years' course, and this is so crowded with various studies that it is al- most impossible to complete them in that time and do thorough work. The colleges are somewhat to blame for this, as they have raised their requirements for entrance so high. "In the past twenty-five years the academies and 20 o colleges have undergone a revolution, as well as evo- lution, in the courses of study, as well as in methods of teaching. It has been largely experimental. Isn't the beginning of the new century a good time for the educational authorities to cull from the past quarter- century all that has proved wholesome and practical, and formulate a curriculum that will be broad and strong, as a basis for a liberal education? The old classical course seems to have largely disappeared; and some of the new courses seem to have consider- able 'fancy work.' 6. "For the past ten years or so, I have not been able to keep in very close touch with Princeton; but it seems to be the general opinion, not only among Princeton men, but others, that she has largely receded from that old-time moral and re- ligious life of our day, and has become too worldly and fashionable." WILLIAM ALLAN CLELAND, Chamber of Commerce Building, Portland, Oregon. "Have continued in the practice of the law. Nothing noteworthy in my personal, business, pro- fessional, or political career. Member of Commer- cial Club of Portland. "Not married. 6. "Have great pride in and hopes for the growth and expansion of Princeton University, but not sufficient knowledge of just what is being done or what is under contemplation for its advancement, to enable me to enlarge upon the subject. 7. "Too far west for observations." 21 REV. ARTHUR B. CONGER, Rosemont, Penn- sylvania. "I have mislaid your blanks, and nave nothing to report beyond pegging away at the old stand, and the death of my dear wife, November lo, 1896." ALFRED C. COURSEN, Madison, New Jersey. "I practiced law in New York City for over twenty years, when my health broke down, and last spring I opened in the country, near my home, a 'squire's' office. My literary achievements have not gone higher than magazine and newspaper contributions. My fellow citizens rejected me as a reform mayor by a majority of 78 votes. (I am glad it was not 76). I could have been elected all right if I had kept it up. My club is within my 'castle.' "Children: Marion, born February 27, 1887; Gladys and Donald Chester, July 15, 1888; Ronald Chester, December 2, 1893. Donald Chester died July 15, 1888. 5. "I am not competent to advise under this head. 6. "If Princeton University is thinking of be- coming a rich man's college, the best thing it can do is to give its faculty a course in Roman history. 7. "You ask for 'observations on life as viewed after twenty-five years of graduation,' upon the suggestion of a classmate that this from each mem- ber should throw some side lights on the Book of Proverbs. That is a strong thought, and I believe you should have given us the name of the author of it. "It will be to some of us as the last message that we shall deliver, and even though it shall not be delivered, but only uttered, it will be spoken sol- emnly. If one hundred and eighteen Princeton di- plomas (less deaths) can move through the world for twenty-five years and gain nothing of mutual helpfulness, then the university would better close its doors. For such is not the mission of the higher education. And yet it has occurred to some, that mutual helpfulness, like many another virtue of civilization, has gone down in the 'individualism' of the commercial order which has now run riot to perfection. The ways of Providence are not ques- tioned, and it is not doubted that the dawn of true equality is preceded by this, the darkest hour of the world's known history. We know that no deeper depths can be reached when we read (last November, in the most conservative of news agencies) that ten or twelve thousand Chinamen were pushed off the bank, until for days their bod- ies impeded navigation; and when we read that right here in New York men were found who had worked sixteen hours a day in a bakery in a hole in the ground without any ventilation, until they had dropped to sleep on the dough upon which they were working. "Such things concern us less than the breaking of a shoe-string — they concern us less because they inconvenience us less. And yet men go to church 23 and pray about them and ask God to bless them as the direct means of grace and salvation. The wonder is that they do not fear that a bolt will come out of heaven and strike them dead. If the desire for gain, in the competitive struggle for ex- istence, should be eliminated, a raving maniac could not conceive such iniquity of action or such blasphemy of expostulation. We have become a race of Ishmaels, a savage race, in which every man's hand is raised against his brother, and there is not one of us who, if he could, would not take unto himself every blessing now enjoyed by every other. Those words ought to blight the hand that writes them, they should blear the eyes that read them and they should palsy the mind that hears them. But the fact is otherwise, and if they should be translated into polite and conventional phrases, they would be part of the stock ideas with which our good are consoled. "If you do not appreciate these things, if you are not informed upon them, the means of knowledge is complete, for the science and literature of social- ism are well advanced. You are of those who should be giving, rather than receiving, of enlight- enment upon this, the admitted problem of greatest urgency now confronting the entire world. How can a Princeton '76 man approach the twenty-fifth anniversary of his graduation, bracing himself for the half-century hurdle of life, and know these things silently? 'We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can take nothing out,' 24 and if we are to do aught of the only real good that can be done, good for others, when shall we begin to raise our voice or our hand? We are chargeable with some knowledge of the proper means, and should by this time know that puny ^charity,' administered upon full stomachs to empty ones, is no more a cure than is quenching fire with oil. If you repudiate other men's views, then what are you doing to expound your own ? And if noth- ing, when shall you begin? "I protest, that the legitimate work of philan- thropy is work for humanity, and that individual- ism in the world is nothing but peopling the world with devils. You may conclude that 'Billy' has grown crusty, but I warn you not to draw a con- clusion until you shall have duly considered your premises, after the manner which that just and dear old man, 'Dad' Atwater, has taught you. It may be true, as Bolton Hall thinks, that the salvation of man lies in his complete starvation; but it greatly and personally behooves you educated men to look to your powers and to take thought that you es- cape that greatest damnation, that you had a talent and refused to use it. I challenge each of you silently to prove to himself this theorem or its converse." BRYANT O. COWAN, Springfield, Illinois. "Since last report my life on the farm has been uneventful. I have grown an abundance of grass, about which Senator Ingalls wrote that incom- 25 parable gem of agricultural literature. And an abundance of rich grass is necessary to grow good short-horns, so I have both. I have been elected Assistant Secretary of the National Short-Horn Breeders' Association, with headquarters in this city. "Names of my children: Cora E., born Sep- tember 20, 1879; Florence J., January 26, 1886; and Lillie, August 12, 1887. The last died in infancy. Cora attended Tarlcio (Mo.) College and the Art Institute, Chicago, 111. Florence is in Tarkio Col- lege at present, taking the classical course." SAMUEL CRAIG COWART, Freehold, New Jersey. "Since last report I have been busily engaged in the practice of law at Freehold. Have worked hard and am making a comfortable living, but am not rapidly growing wealthy. Have done no literary work, except the writing of briefs which have been especially remarkable for their length. Have been elected Ruling Elder, and recently Superintendent of the Sunday School, in the First Presbyterian Church of Freehold ; Davy Perrine is also an Elder and Fred Parker a Deacon in the same church. The class of '76 is therefore pretty well represented in this portion of the Master's Vineyard. "Have not married again since last report, as I am very well satisfied with my present good wife. "Princeton has expanded wonderfully since our departure in ^^6, but I still think there is room 26 for improvement. There ought to be elective courses in law and medicine, and perhaps in other professional studies, which would give a young man a good foundation on which to build in his chosen profession, "As I look back upon the past twenty-five years of experience in life's journey, I am more and more convinced that the best equipment for a young man in commencing the journey is implicit trust in God, a hopeful spirit, and indomitable per- severance." BRODIE JACKMAN CRAWFORD. Died July 27, 1883. [See Record No. IV., page 39.] CLARENCE CUNINGHAM, Charleston, South Carolina. "My life for the last few years has been so strict- ly private that I cannot conceive how it can in- terest any save my immediate entourage of friends and my family. Under the new system of labour plantation affairs are as complicated as are the af- fairs of the wide, wide world. To my plantation affairs I have been giving my attention, and my leisure hours I have occupied with deeper studies and observations on politics, sociology, and philos- ophy, hence have had no time for clubs and other such aggregations that disturb rather than further thought and industry. Not to be too much the re- cluse and fossil I have traveled somewhat. As simple, peaceful and bucolic as my life is, it does 27 not so fill me with selfishness as not to wish each and all of my classmates success in their different and diversified pursuits, whether material or in- ner and moral, nor have I grown so unsympathetic as not to offer them my sincerest sympathy and encouragement in their failures and disappoint- ments." The Daily Sun, Charleston, S. C, of June 29, 1896, contained a letter, from which the following is obtained: "I have failed to notice as yet the mention of the name of one gentleman in connection with the office he now fills, who seems to me to be peculiarly fitted for the position. I refer to the present County Treasurer, Mr. Clarence Cuningham. Though not by bent especially adapted to the ways of politicians most calculated to commend him to popular favor with the masses, Mr. Cuningham possesses the qualifications and requisites of character, habits of mind and training, which above all others are im- peratively essential to the particular position which he now occupies. The conscientious, careful and laborious scrutiny and performance of every de- tail of his responsible office and of the expenditures of the public's money which passes through his hands, and his indefatigable insistence on the due forms being observed and both the spirit and the letter of the law with regard to all the claims on the treasury presented to him carried out, charac- teristics which no one familiar with the workings 28 of the office for the past year will deny him, render his services especially desirable and valuable in this office. "In Mr. Ciiningham the public has a careful, cap- able and efficient officer, whose personal probity and responsibility few will undertake to question. "It was largely due to Mr. Cuningham being ' made a Jury Commissioner by virtue of his office that the jury box was revolutionized to the extent of giving the courts juries of the character which has recently given the community a new experi- ence." HON. HENRY E. DAVIS, LL. D., Jenifer Build- ing, Washington, District of Columbia; resi- dence. The Concord, Washington, D. C. "Titles: A. B., Princeton, 1876; A. M., Prince- ton, 1879; LL. B., Columbian University, 1878; LL. M., Columbian University, 1879; LL. D., Na- tional University, 1898. "I do not recall the date of my last report, so submit the following general statement, which you can fit to the record which you have. I was admitted to the bar September 25, 1879, ^^^ ^^ July I, 1885, I was appointed Assistant Attorney of the District of Columbia, the office of Attorney of the District of Columbia corresponding to that of Corporation Counsel in other cities. This office I resigned October 31, 1889. From 1888 to 1897 I held at various times the positions of Professor of Common Law Practice, Judge of the Moot Court 29 and Lecturer on the History of Law in the Colum- bian University, this city. I resigned from that institution, and was elected to the faculty of the National University Law School here, first occupy- ing the chair as instructor in Mercantile Law, Evi- dence and the History of Law. I am now instruc- tor in that institution in the law of Common Law Pleading, Equity Pleading, Evidence and the His- tory of Law. In 1897 I read before the Section of Legal Education of the American Bar Association, at Cleveland, Ohio, a paper on 'Primitive Legal Conceptions in Relation to Modern Law,' which was republished in one of the law journals and re- ceived very flattering attention in the profession. "In 1896 I was guilty of the offense of being a Gold Democrat, in which offense I persist to the present day. I took the stump for McKinley in 1896, and reluctantly, and only in response to the solicitation of a number of my fellow townsmen,. again took the stump for McKinley in 1900, mak- ing my initial speech in the latter campaign in Washington to 'standing room only.' In the cam- paign of 1896 I accepted the challenge of a promi- nent advocate of the Bryan cause to a joint debate extended to another than myself, but accepted by me at the solicitation of a number of my fellow sinners in the cause of Gold. The debate was held in the presence of some seven or eight thousand people, taxing to its utmost the largest auditorium in the city. "On February i, 1897, I was nominated by Pres- 30 ident Cleveland to be United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, and after being hung up in the Senate for one month, my nomination was laid upon the table through the efforts of my for- mer political associates, whom my course in the preceding campaign had offended. On March i, however, and contrary to all precedents, I was ap- pointed by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to that office, which I held until the fifth day of October, 1899. During my term of office I had the distinction of prosecuting and trying Have- meyer and others in what are known as the Sugar Trust cases, which attracted national attention. "The most gratifying distinction which I ever had was that on the occasion of the retirement from the bench last year of one of the most respected and esteemed judges of our court, I was chosen by the bar to make the memorial address upon his life and professional and judicial career. In 1899 I was selected by the Washington Academy of Sciences to deliver an address on the 'Constitution- al Development of the District of Columbia,' which was one of three addresses delivered before the Academy in that year to be preserved in its records and published. "1 am a member of the following clubs : Metro- politan, Cosmos, Chevy Chase, Woodmont Rod and Gun Club, and Analostan Boat Club ; also of the American Bar Association. I represented the District of Columbia on the committee on John Marshall Day. 31 "There is no change in my matrimonial or family; status since my last report. "In view of my answer to the immediately pre- ceding questions, any views that I might have to offer on 'Secondary Education from the Experience of the Children,' would, as we say in the law, be purely obiter dicta, and are therefore withheld. "I take it that my views on the future growth and expansion of Princeton University are those which are held by all alumni, and I deem it neces- sary to say only that I hold, as I have always held, that Princeton is the ideal educational institution of the country, and that its growth and expansion will be in accordance with the high ideal which it has always sought to maintain, and, as I think, which it more nearly approaches than any of our sister institutions. I can see for Princeton only a future of the highest success and widest usefulness and influence. 7. "Great Scott! Do you want me to write a volume or an epigram in answer to this question? I could give you a volume, but I doubt my ability to conceive a suitable epigram. "Although I have been assiduously engaged in the practice of my profession and with my duties in the law schools, I have been a close and constant student of polemical and philosophical questions, the history of institutions, and anthropology, with the result that I have acquired and cultivated an 32 intense interest in what Clodd calls, 'Those high matters about which, like planet tethered to sun, the mind of man revolves by irresistible attraction,* As a consequence my views on many subjects have undergone some radical changes, and have come, I fear, to smack very much of the mundane; and, though wholly without any pessimistic flavor, I find myself gravitating towards the philosophy of Omar Khayyam, as expressed in the quatrain : '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, Nor heed the Rumble of a distant Drum.' "And in view of the swift and momentous mak- ing of history, both political and social, during the past quarter of a century, I find myself rather min- imizing the individual and magnifying the national. I begin to believe that although the individual, of course, is at the bottom of all things social and political. Providence is working out its plan through the instrumentality of nations rather than of men, and that the sacrifices of patriotism and the noble deeds of philanthropy have their real springs in this fact, although not always conscious- ly. I am much impressed by Charles Dudley War- ner's estimate that the three great men of the cen- tury just closed were Lincoln, Bismarck and Ten- nyson ; the last being, par excellence, the seer of the century. His noble philosophy, playing about the 32, central idea, 'That somehow good will be the final goal of ill,' and that that goal is to be attained in the working out of 'The one far-off, divine event To which the whole creation moves,' impresses me more and more as the most distinc- tive contribution of the century to the solution of what I heard an eminent divine characterize as 'the mystery of human enterprise.' No doubt dear old 'Dad' would raise his hands in deprecation of this, as possibly 'leading to Pantheism,' but I do not balk at the thought because of this. "Now, after this learned effusion, do you know what my views on life are, after my quarter of a century's observation? Like the banished Duke of Shakespeare, I think that I have come to see the 'good in everything,' and, to return to Omar, I do not care so much as formerly for 'the Rumble of a distant Drum.' Am I becoming material? On the contrary, I think that I am becoming more spiritual, only it is with the spirit of the universe that I am more in touch than in the earlier days." At the annual meeting of the Princeton Alumni Association of the District of Columbia, held Feb- ruary 27, 1901, "Jeff" was elected vice-president, and he acted as toastmaster at the dinner that fol- lowed. In Princeton, at the Alumni dinner, June II, 1901, the high honor was accorded to him of presiding and acting as toastmaster, which he did with marked tact and felicity. 34 REV. PROF.

Ivan Chandler was born July 3, 1896, and is now a vigorous boy of four and a half, who shouts for 'Blackburn,' but who, I trust, will some day shout for Princeton baseball and football teams. I am not sure that I want him to be on either team, so will not be disappointed if he does not get that honor. Our son Laurence has just finished his 35 first year at Blackburn University. He has taken many prizes in drawing and writing in the 'Open Window Club' of the Chicago Record-Herald, and intends fitting himself to be an artist or journalist. "I removed to this field of labor in November, 1896, since which time our town has trebled its population, and will double again in the next year.

"I am still in the active ministry, with the same old loyalty to Princeton and pride in her class of '76." JOHN FLETCHER DUFFIELD, M. D. No report. John's son, Barry, has just com- pleted his freshman year at Princeton, being a member of the class of 1904. FRANK DUNNING, Valley Home, Warwick, Or- ange County, New York. Dunning is the soul of wit, brevity itself. His extremely short letter gave no information addi- tional to that supplied to the last previous record. Undoubtedly he still passes most of his time in the country and is interested in breeding and raising stock. He says : "If you had a question, say, 'ob- servations on twenty-five years of bachelor life,' I might have sent you some happy experiences." It is a great pity that Frank was not at the class dinner to hear Judge Ball get back at Ed Lyon on that topic. 36 R. A. EDWARDS, Peru, Indiana. "I am very greatly interested in the doings of the Class and hope that the contributions from the Class to the Alumni fund will continue to grow. "I believe that I have no new facts to report about myself. I am continuing to work hard and enjoy life. Location unchanged." THOMAS IRELAND ELLIOTT, 440 to 444 Equitable Building, Baltimore, Maryland. "I haven't had any history since my last report, except that of an effort to keep myself and others straight. I put myself first because I believe that is the proper point of beginning. I have been to Europe since I saw you ; came back a little broader, I hope, in mind and sympathies, and I know I am more of an American. I love England and her people, but not her rulers, any more than you like Tammany Hall. "When last at Princeton I had recently entered upon the duties of City Solicitor of Baltimore, an office of considerable esteem among our citizens, fairly remunerative and full of demands upon one's time and energies. I have no doubt the boys, with- out regard to party affiliations, will agree that I had my hands full when they learn that it was only part of my task to obviate the results of Dem- ocratic mistakes, and prevent the occurrence of Re- publican failures in our city government. I came in with the change of administration from one party to the other, and I believe that my least 37 partial friend would be willing to say that I was as hard worked a City Solicitor as we have ever had. At any rate, you couldn't prove it by me that there ever was one who worked harder than I did. "They let me draw salary for a little over two years, and then I got to be persona non grata. My friends would tell you that that was because I be- lieved in carrying out promised reforms. Others might say it was because the incoming Mayor had some one whom he preferred for my place. At any rate the salary stopped and I retired to private life. There wasn't any injunction asked for by me, and the people didn't get up any riot. I just went, and stayed out. "I have had two other offices, but they were of a different kind; they were all honor and work without any monetary consideration. I was one of eight men who drew the new charter for Balti- more. They did talk of cutting our names in marble, but that was before the politicians had dis- covered that we had gold-bricked them. One of our number was, almost immediately after, elected Mayor of Baltimore, and since then we have been ^between the devil and the deep blue sea,' that is, seven of us have been. The politicians say our charter is no good anyway, and the one of our num- ber who has been elected Mayor says he wrote the charter, and the rest of us had little or nothing to do with it. You may have seen several articles in the Philadelphia Saturday Post exploiting the charter, but leaving us out. I want you to get the 38 l)oys to believe that both the politicians and the Mayor have been unfair to the Class of '76 in that ■charter business. "The other office that I held only lasted for a few days, about a year ago. The Mayor who didn't think anybody but himself drew the charter put me on our Board of Corrections. The job didn't last long, for the Mayor tried to run the Board in the interest of some of his political chums, and when we had demonstrated, or rather when he had shown, our inability to prevent him, four of us filed a public protest and withdrew. We now have otium cum dignitate. "I continue to be a bachelor, though not yet reconciled to my fate. Perhaps I may get in on the second vigintennial 'with wife and children all included.' "I want to see Princeton grow and expand, but only along those lines which characterized her when we were there. Then she disseminated light among the many. I never want to see her turn toward specialism. "There are some observations on life which have occurred to me, as I doubt not they have occurred to others of you. "(i) What absolute downy fledglings we were when we left college, and how little we really did know in comparison with what we thought we knew ! "(2) How much more important it was to us then to get started right, than to have made any great degree of progress! "(3) How much better it is to be, and remain,, in full sympathy with our fellow man, than to sur- pass and leave him behind in intellectual develop- ment i "(4) How we ought to strive to cultivate sim- plicity., rather than allow ourselves to become in- volved in and carried away with the complexity of our present-day civilization! "(5) How the college-bred man ought to throt- tle, wherever possible, the theory that wealth is an end rather than a means, and how he should set his face like a flint against the idea that ill-gotten gains, whether by unlawful, though legal, combi- nation, or unfair methods, can be made respectable,, even by devoting a portion to charitable purposes! "(6) There is nothing in an office that has no salary attached." Elliott was elected in February, 1901, a vice- president of the Princeton Alumni Association of Maryland. REV. EDWARD C. EVANS, Remsen, Oneida County, New York. Evans writes: "I am a loss what to say, for there are no changes in my family to report, nor any additional honors and titles; these are slow coming. Nor have I published new books, al- though I am preparing one in Welsh on the Gos- pels, nor have I made a big fortune, but am still 40 active in the work of the Gospel ministry and pros- perous in my worldly affairs. My observations on life confirm the idea in my mind that right thinking, right living and the blessing of God are the chief elements in securing a successful life." GEORGE FIELDING FICKLEN.

"There is nothing new to report. I am still un- married and am living quietly here at same ad- dress. "If possible I will be at Princeton in June, when I hope to see all of the fellows." "Sooner's" history this year was short and de- cisive, but he made up for it when he arrived at Old Nassau, as he was again a "boy" with the rest of us and once more demonstrated his fitness as one of the "class wits." May we have more of it,, old fellow, next time. REV. ALBERT ANDREW FULTON, Canton, China. "Dutch" comes up smiling from his encounters with the Boxers, and justly from his letter; he is still full of the old time '76 "ginger," if not of the 41 Canton kind. His interest in things Princetonian is still flourishing as of yore, and he sends much love to all members of '76. We regret that illness in his family prevented his attending the reunion. He says: "What would I not give to see Prince- ton w^ax old Yale to-morrow." It was a braw .sight, and we are sorry, "Steamboat," that you missed it. "Since my last report I have been engaged chiefly in evangelistic work in the Province of Canton, China. The past eight years have been fruitful in the founding of out-stations and establishing of churches in the field committed to my care. My field of labor is confined to work in Canton, and to four districts south of that city, comprising a population of several millions. In those four dis- tricts we now have twenty-five out stations and five churches, and nearly one thousand adults have been baptized during the past eight years. In Can- ton we began with less than a dozen converts, housed in a small shop, and out of that work has grown the largest Protestant church building in the city, with a congregation of nearly two hun- dred members. We left Canton in May last year, just before the outbreak occurred. The Boxer movement did not extend south, but thieves took advantage of the general disturbance to loot our chapels and the homes of the Christians. Compen- sation for these losses was secured without trouble through consular agencies. "I regard the Chinese question as one of the pro- 42 I' Ejig !-<>' - ' € f :r t i I foundest ever brought to the attention of our peo- ple, and I am strong in my belief that the introduc- tion of Christianity is the only solution of the great problem. China, as a mission field, is the most im- portant on the face of the earth, and it is also the most hopeful. China's vast resources are un- developed. It is the greatest commercial prize in the world. The Chinese are pre-eminently an in- dustrious, economical and peaceful people. Their hopeless condition is due to a lack of good men. Only Christianity can supply this need. "The Boxer movement was directed against all foreigners, and not against the missionaries alone. The origin of this outbreak was due to a com- plication of causes, aggravated by insufficient food supplies, but stimulated principally by the unjus- tifiable seizure of China's territory on the part of certain European powers. "Influenced by ignorant and ambitious counsel- ors, the Empress Dowager undoubtedly connived at the fanciful project of extirpating all foreigners, but speedily trimmed to meet emergencies, and it will probably be difficult to find out exactly to what extent the central government was responsible for plain violation of treaty rights. "The field of hostilities was very limited, and was confined almost entirely to parts of the Shan Tung and Pechili Provinces. The vast majority of the population of China are probably ignorant of all facts connected with the outbreak. The result of all the severe loss of life and property will be 43 the promulgation of needed reforms, the abolition of all discrimination against Christians in literary- examinations and in judicial proceedings, and a full and complete toleration of Christianity. The Chinese reserve the highest honors for the scholar. In fact, the scholars of China may be said to rule the empire. The Chinese are ignorant rather than bigoted in their conservatism. They will become advocates of true learning once they realize the potentiality and wealth of true science. "A Christian college has been founded at Can- ton with a corps of very able teachers, and all instruction will be carried on in the English lan- guage. Colleges and universities will spring up all over the empire, and the ignorance and supersti- tion of centuries will disappear before the expul- sive power of true learning. "The partition of China I regard as a visionary,. impracticable project. A few decades of mission- ary eflfort along wise, patient, tactful lines, will do more for China than a fleet of battleships and myriads of soldiers. With a few millions of Christians, sure to come in the near future, the fear of China as a belligerent, obstreperous power will disappear. I count it a great honor to have any part in this work, and find my love for the people and work increasing with every year spent in the empire. We reached the United States in June, and since that time I have made seventy ad- dresses in different cities east of Chicago. It is our purpose to return to China in September. I 44 have written a number of articles for the different religious papers, and have published a second edi- tion of my 'Phrase Book in Cantonese Dialect.' 4, "Children : Edith M., preparing at Wooster, Ohio, for college, age 16; Theodore C, Preparatory Department, Wooster, age 14; Harold W., High School, Wooster, age 12; Ralph W., age 9; Grace, age 7, and Horace H., age 2." ALEXANDER B. GILLESPIE, Garrett, Wyom- ing. "I was in the Internal Revenue service in North Carolina from graduation until June, 1885. I was an 'offensive partisan' and was let out with my party. I then went into the newspaper business, but Republicanism failed to prosper in my locality. "I removed to Wyoming in September, 1888, and embarked in the wool industry. Prospered for a few years, but was caught by Cleveland's second administration and a blizzard which lasted forty- one days — one day longer than the flood — and be- tween the two I was cleaned out. "I am still in the stock business, and it looks now as if prosperity would soon smile again. "I was married in 1880. We have had the fol- lowing children : Annie Virginia, born March 25, 1882, died January 17, 1886; Kenneth, born Jan- uary 2.2, 1884; Alexander, November 23, 1885; Hat- tie Perrie, June 27, 1888; Calloway and Joseph, twins, November 4, 1891 ; George Yeakle, Decem- ber 6, 1893, and Eugene, September 20, 1897. 45 "The kindest regards to each and all of our dear old Class of '•76." SAMUEL BARTOW GREENE, Monticello, New York. No report. REV. PROF. WILLIAM BRENTON GREENE, Jr., D. D., 60 Stockton Street, Princeton, New Jersey. "I have been trying to fill my chair in Prince- ton Theological Seminary, and I have found that it gives me about all that I can do. I have, however, made time to publish, in addition to quite a num- ber of book reviews in the Presbyterian and Re- formed Review, and some articles on the Revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith in the Presbyterian and the Presbyterian Journal, the following papers: 'Reality,' in the Presbyterian and Reformed Review, January, 1898; 'Duality,' ibid., April, 1898; 'Personality,' ibid., July, 1898; 'Morality,' ibid., October, 1898; 'Immortality,' ibid., January, 1899; 'The Supernatural,' ibid., April, 1899; 'The Elective System of Studies in our Col- leges in relation to preparation for the Theological Curriculum,' ibid., January, 1900; 'The Function of the Miracle,' The Bible Student, March, 1900; 'The Acceptable Offering,' The Bible Student, January, 1901 ; 'Against the Revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith,' Homiletic Review, January, 1901. 46 "Princeton University ought to learn to expand along the lines of religion and culture. It is in some danger of becoming secularized, and also of making its end the development of specialties rather than of men. "This world is a good one in which to learn and to realize God's purpose for us. It is a poor world for any other purpose, and any other purpose is un- worthy of us." C. CUYLER GREGORY, 914 First Avenue, North, Fargo, North Dakota. "Pope" came on from the "wild and woolly West" to greet the "boys" of '76 again, and hopes to be on deck at the next reunion, and so do we all. He writes : "History — Simply the routine of business work. No change in occupation." "Pope" is with a firm of wholesale grocers. 6 and 7. "The most important questions of the present and immediate future are sociological. "The accumulation of wealth in a few hands, the absorption of the natural resources of the land by the few, the inability of those willing to work to obtain occupation, the compressing of mercantile power into monopolistic hands, the concentration of quasi-public functions and powers in the hands of private individuals, are a few of the pressing questions of moment. "The present systems are radically defective, basically wrong somewhere. Few advances to- 47 ward correct remedial principles have been made. Such studies are of far more value to the race wel- fare than dead languages, live languages, world construction or star dust. Should Princeton Uni- versity promote the investigation and study of these questions in dead earnest, as a living issue, she would attract the attention and have the sup- port of the country. Individual minds are awake, a renaissance is coming. Princeton should have a moulding influence." REV. H. P. HAMILTON, P. O. Box 2155, Mexico City, Mexico. "Hite" does not write us what he is doing down among the "Greasers," but we take it that he is still engaged in the service of the American Bible Society for the Republic of Mexico. He says his ^'family remains numerically the same." He was in the United States for five months of 1900, but did not see any of the members of '76. Look 'em up next time, "Hite." He writes: "I may make an observation on life later, but at present have all I can do to live it day by day." The oldest son, Edward, is at Mohegan Lake School, near Peeks- kill, N. Y., where he is preparing for Princeton. REV. ROBERT WILSON HAMILTON, M. A., The Fort Manse, Lisburn, County Antrim, Ireland, "R," though not in robust health and much bus- ied by his manifold duties, sends his greetings from 48 R. W. Hamilton H. Markley Howard Plumley, i8i Howard Plumley, 1901 the "ould sod" to the "boys" as follows: "Little worth recording, hands fairly full of work, the mer- cies abound. In addition to other work, have been convener for some years of the State of Religion and Evangelization Committee of the General As- sembly. 5. "Our system is so different from yours that it would be difficult to make intelligible remarks. Our Intermediate system has done muclr for edu- cation, but its distinctive feature — payment of teacher by results — while it has served a good pur- pose, needs much modification, and is likely to get it soon. 6. "May its growth and expansion be increas- ingly wide and deep. 7. "All the experience and discipline of life teach the futility and waste of all else, and the wisdom and blessedness of one thing — seeking to do the will of God. Only this makes life worth living, and blessedly so." HENRY L. HARRISON, 20 East Fiftieth Street, New York City. "I am still teaching in the Cutler School, where I have charge of one of the departments, as for many years past. Much of my spare time goes into church work, in connection with the Collegiate Reformed (Dutch) Church of New York City. "Member of the Century, Barnard and Princeton Oubs. 5. "Two members of the Record Committee, be- 49 jng engaged in secondary education, thought here is an opportunity to obtain views from the parental side, and they have gotten several. The course of study has been advanced in the schools until now it probably embraces a full equivalent of what we did in freshman year. At the same time, new re- quirements for entrance to college have been intro- duced, so that candidates average a year older than they did twenty-five years ago. The result is not altogether satisfactory from the view-point of the instructor in secondary schools, and the college authorities do not seem, on their part, to be alto- gether happy with it. Changes are coming grad- ually, and ultimately, without doubt, the happy ar- rangement will be reached. 6. "Princeton, in its undergraduate department, at least, is big enough to satisfy me. In large classes the individual is in danger of being lost in the mass. If the pressure of students for ad- mission is great, it can easily be controlled by rais- ing the standard of scholarship, or by increasing the requirements, though the latter would seem to be high enough now. An institution is not liable to injury from having a reputation for high schol- arship, for being somewhat difficult to enter and difficult to stay in. Add special schools on the scientific side and increase the graduate depart- ments, but leave the race for large classes to other universities. 7. "In the estimation of too many a successful life is measured in financial terms. There is need of so adoption as working principles in life of such mot- toes as those of Clio and Whig Halls, Prodesse Quam Conspici, and Literae, Amicitia, Mores, or that other of the child's story, Laetus sorte mea." CHARLES HARTRIDGE. Died November 23, 1882. [See Record No. IV., page 62.] W. J. HENDERSON, M. A., Editorial Rooms, New York Times, New York City. "I returned to the position of musical editor of the New York Times in November, 1896, and have not yet been discharged. I write so-called musical criticism for eight months of the year and editorials and book reviews the rest of the time. It's the same old grind. Have not any other his- tory, 'personal, business, professional, literary or political,' and no 'honors received.' I have pub- lished since last report: 'The Last Cruise of the Mohawk' (1897), 'What Is Good Music?' (1898), 'How Music Developed' (1898), and 'The Orches- tra and Orchestral Music' (1899). I am now writ- ing a big book on Richard Wagner, chiefly be- cause every one else has done so. It will be out next winter — I hope. 4. "Harry W. Henderson is a law student at Cornell. 5. "My experience from secondary education is not encouraging. My son, for instance, reads French and German easily, but cannot speak, or write, or understand either when spoken. I find 51 that French and German are treated now as Latin and Greek used to be — just taught so as to enable a boy to pass his entrance exams. As for girls' schools, I do not know what to say. Most of them are mere farces. The girls have dances and re- ceptions, and they make a pretence of studying, but ^o not know anything. And they are not taught to think at all. That's the sum of my experience. 6. "Why has not Princeton that variety of courses which one finds in less pretentious col- leges? Princeton calls itself a university, but it is nothing of the sort. We ought to have a wider curriculum in our scientific school. We need a law school and a medical school. We need to ex- pand. And in order to do so we have got to out- grow our old narrow, hide-bound traditions, which teach us that Latin, Greek and mathematics are the sum and substance of the higher education. We might as well hold that reading, writing and arith- metic constituted a high school course. 7. "This is where I fall down, I have not quite formulated my views on life yet. If you will permit me to define it as life in these United States, I can say this, that a man who devotes himself to any sort of intellectual pursuit must make up his mind to get most of his rewards in his inner life, for he will find himself despised by the great mass of his fellow men, for the simple reason that he does not make large sums of money. In this free land of •ours, and especially in the mighty city of New York, only two things count — money and social po- 52 sition. And the latter is the product of the for- mer. Intellectual men are debarred from social standing in this country, solely because they have not money. And the moneyed class regards all people who do things, artists, authors, musicians, inventors, etc., as their servants, created for the purpose of amusing them. It is, of course, open to the artistic and intellectual men to pretend that they do not notice this, but as the great mass of their fellow men follow the lead of the rich and fashionable, the attitude of society toward the doer and the thinker is unmistakable. If I had my life to live over again, and were ambitious to be re- garded as a great and good man in this country, I should enter the pork packing business or try to get a job as a railroad president. I certainly should not decide to be a college president, or a famous novelist, or a great composer, or a master painter. But I have found it possible to get considerable comfort out of life with- out being a great and good man, and I sup- pose that is what we should all do. I am of the opinion that two good children can discount the valuation which one's fellow men place on one. And about this getting rich. It's a fraud after all. I have much more fun in my life than Russell Sage. In fact, I get more out of life than half the rich men I know of, because I see more in it. When a dollar grows larger than all art and literature, a man's intellectual horizon is bounded by the Wall Street edition of the after- 53 noon papers, and there are neither sunsets nor sun- rises for him. I don't think I would trade places with him, although I know that he despises me." "Hendy" was with us at the reunion and awoke the echoes with some of his stirring eloquence at the dinner. He is still interested in the Naval Re- serve, and one of his proudest moments is when the musicians play "Strike up the band ; here comes a sailor." BAYARD HENRY, 701-706 Drexel Building, Phil- adelphia, Pennsylvania. "There is nothing new since last report, excepting the fact that in November, 1898, I was chosen a member of our State Senate, and, following in the footsteps of 'Jin^i"i6' Woods, I am doing all I can for the 'honor of '76.' I have two more years to serve as Senator. "Three children: Howard H., Caroline M. and Snowden Henry. Howard H. is a member of the freshman class, Princeton. "I have no suggestions to make on secondary education of children, it being my judgment that each individual case must be governed by its own special circumstances, and that no general rules can be laid down. I am clear, however, in reply to your interrogatory regarding the future of Princeton University. Her prospects for growth and great success were never brighter. The pur- chase during the last year of the Stockton Farm for golf links, and the Olden farm, by those interested 54 in the University, practically gives us over 500 acres of University campus. When we think of the small numbers, few buildings and little campus in our day, and of the large numbers, new build- ings and extensive grounds now belonging to the University, we can take pride in the prosperity of our Alma Mater, and feel encouraged to work more than ever for greater advancement in the future. "The only observation I have to make on life, as viewed after twenty-five years of graduation, is, that the more a Princeton man works for Princeton the happier he is. "As members of the Board of Trustees of Prince- ton, 'Paley' Stewart and I have done all we could for the University along the lines laid down by our beloved preceptor and President, James McCosh." The Trustee was telling at commencement, with evident enjoyment and what seemed like pride, that the clapper of the college bell had been removed a short time before by a certain student, who per- formed the feat quite unaided and alone. Bayard is a member of the Rittenhouse, Penn and Harrisburg Clubs, and of the University Club of New York. In February, 1901, he was elected President of the Scotch-Irish Society of Pennsyl- vania, and one of the vice-presidents of the Prince- ton Alumni Association of Philadelphia. In May, 1901, he was elected a director of the United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company. In connection with the fact that Bayard is a trustee of Princeton University it is interesting 55 to know that his father and his father's father were trustees of Princeton, as also were his great-grand- father Bayard, and his father. From "Sketches of Members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania," we learn that : Bayard Henry, Senator from the Fourth Dis- trict, is serving his first term in the State Senate. Until his candidacy for the Republi- can nomination last year, Mr. Henry had never been a candidate for any office, although he had always taken an active part in Republican politics- and was frequently a delegate to various conven- tions. Mr. Henry entered the contest for the Re- publican Senatorial nomination in his district last year as an avowed anti-Quay candidate. His cam- paign was one of the most remarkable conducted in Philadelphia in a number of years. Mr. Henry went before the people, openly declaring his oppo- sition to the re-election of Mr. Quay, and carried the district by an overwhelming majority at the primaries, and later was elected at the polls by a majority of 18,434, which was the third largest majority ever given any Sen- atorial candidate in the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Henry is chairman of the Senate Commit- tee on Forestry, and is a member of the Senate Railroad and Judiciary General Committees. Mr, Henry is one of the trustees of Princeton Univer- sity, trustee of the First Presbyterian Church in Germantown, and also President of the Young- Men's Christian Association of Germantown. He 56 is actively engaged in the practice of law, and is interested in several business enterprises. JAMES CALDWELL JENKINS, 264 Washing- ton Street, Atlanta, Georgia. "I have been giving my time and attention to my profession since last report, except what I have given to politics. I did considerable work for the nomination and election of McKinley in 1896." He reports the birth of two children since the last Record: Susie Lodema, born November 30, 1898; a girl (yet unnamed), April i, 1901, Jenkins has been "living a strenuous life" in the perturbed and highly charged political atmosphere of the "Sunny South." He is a warm admirer and friend of President McKinley and hopes to get official recognition for his active labors in his be- half. We all wish him good fortune in his efforts. MORRIS N. JOHNSON, 290 Broadway, or 326 West Thirty-third Street, New York City. "Manager of the Metropolitan Agency of the American Real Estate Company. Am a member of the Princeton, University and Knickerbocker Athletic Clubs. Still unmarried." In addition to the above, "Johnnie" is the Secretary of the Class of ^^2. of Phillips Academy, Andover, and one of the vice-presidents of the Phillips Academy Al- umni Association of New York. Also, he has re- cently been elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Big Hurricane Zinc Mines Company. 57 RICHARD W. JOHNSON, M. D., Major and Sur- geon, United States Army; Commanding Officer Santa Mesa Hospital, Manila, Phil- ippine Islands. "Since the last report I was on duty in Colorado and Wyoming up to April, 1898. I left Tampa in June of that year, with the expedition to Cuba, as surgeon in charge of the First Division Hos- pital, Fifth Army Corps, and participated in the engagements before Santiago. I remained there throughout the balance of the summer, reaching Montauk Point the middle of September. "I was on duty a short while at Huntsville, Ala- bama, and was then ordered to Chicago as at- tending surgeon, and examiner of recruits. I left that city in January, 1900, for the Philippines, where I have since been on duty, as Chief Surgeon of the Department of Mindanao and Jolo, which comprises Mindanao and all the islands of the Sulu Archipelago. "Afterwards I was Chief Surgeon of the Island of Negros, and am now in command of Santa Mesa, a hospital of seven hundred beds, and the largest of the four general hospitals in Manila. I am well pleased with my present detail, but must say I prefer service in the States, for obvious reasons. 4. "No children. 5, 6 and 7 I will leave to other members of the class more competent to speak on such subjects than I." 58 ROBERT W. JOHNSON, A. B., M.

"As to observations : Only such as you can find in the Book of Job and the Book of Proverbs." "Dave" neglects to say that he is President of the Princeton Club of Chicago. THOMAS D. JONES, 62 Astor Street, Chicago, Illinois. Tom still continues as one of the members of the tripartite legal aggregation of Swift, Campbell and Jones. Since his last report he has devoted him- self to the practice of law, except the year 1900, which he spent in travel abroad, and says : "Incidents of ordinary law practice do not make entertaining history, and I have little else to re- port." Go to, now, Thomas, thou art modest as ever. He is a member of the University Club of Chicago, Chicago Literary Club, Chicago Histor- ical Society, Art Institute of Chicago and Board of Trustees of the John Crerar Library, Chicago. At the second annual meeting of the Western As- sociation of Princeton Clubs, Tom was made Pres- ident. Says he is still a bachelor with "excellent prospects of so remaining." He also says : "I f^af that my views, as distinguished from hopes, on the future growth and expansion of Princeton Uni- versity are too vague to be worthy of finding ex- pression in a Class Record." He thinks the "ob- servations on life" "too big a contract." 60 WILLIAM T. KAUFMAN, 29 Nassau Street, New York. "I have mislaid the blanks, but I may say in a general way that there has been no change in my family" since I last reported, except that my twin girls are now young ladies, and the old man feels — I won't say older, but not quite 'so young as I used to be.' My lines have fallen in pleasant places and I am disposed to look at life from the rosy standpoint. I have had my troubles: 'Every lady has her troubles, and every gent,' you know, but the sunshine has been more constant than the shadows. I feel better, much better, for having seen the boys at Princeton, at the reunion, and I say from my heart, God bless dear old 'y^!' Billy is with Harvey Fisk and Sons, at the above address, and lives in Plainfield, N. J. He is a mem- ber of the Princeton Club of New York. REV. GEORGE KNOX, Indianapolis, Indiana. "Superintendent of Home Missions for Indiana, Stated Clerk of Vincennes Presbytery, Chaplain First Regiment Indiana National Guards ; was pas- tor of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, Indian- apolis, 1895-1896; pastor Vincennes Presbyterian Church, 1896-1901.

He is henceforth to be the peripatetic "Bishop of Presbyterianism for this Synod under the 'Indiana Plan of Home Missions.' " He writes from Vin- cennes, Ind., and says he was loath to give up his pastorate there in the city of "Alice of Old Vin- cennes." He, however, explains the feeling by say- ing "that Alice is no longer here and I am going at once." Fie! fie! John. REV. ROBERT TODD LISTON, Wetumpka, Alabama. "When the last report was made I was still at Oxford, Ala. About a year ago I came here, where I shall probably remain for some time, preaching to three churches. The history of these five happy years, like that of the average home mis- sionary, though full of personal interest, includes little that is worthy of special note. 3. "June 9, 1896, I married Miss Isabel Lapsley, of Anniston, Ala. 4. "I have three children, Margaret Lapsley, born April 27, 1897; Robert Lapsley, born Decem- ber — , 1898, and Sarah, born October 6, 1900. 6. "Surely we all rejoice in the strength and beauty that every added year brings the Univer- sity. It is clear to me that Princeton does not give enough attention to printers' ink. So many period- icals read in this part of the country are more or less directly advertising Yale or Harvard that their 62 relative importance is magnified beyond the true state of things. Princeton ought to have a friend- ly journal in every State in the Union." JAY HENRY LONG, Mankato, Minnesota. "There is not very much to report since the last publication. I have moved my family from Slay- ton to the city of Mankato, one hundred miles east, but still keep a branch office at Slayton, the latter place being tributary to Mankato. Being attorney for several corporations having their principal place of business here, and my practice extending over all of Southwest Minnesota, it is necessary that I have my office in the principal city in the territory- named. You may drop the 'Reverend' when ad- dressing me. I was honorably retired, or, rather,, demitted at my own request. No publications ex- cept law briefs." REV. LEONARD WALTER LOTT, A. M., Par- ley Vale, Jamaica Plain, Boston, Massachu- setts. "I am rector of St. Peter's Church, Boston. "I may be wrong, but from my observations of life at Harvard (don't kill me for quoting Harvard), it does seem to me as though the study of law and medicine at Princeton would be advantageous to her growth. But she is sure to grow anyway." "Len" says, in regard to his "observations:" "If you want a clear answer to this question I will send you a few sermons. I dare not begin to tell 63 you what my observations are or I would exceed the limits. Services are held here at 10.30, and 7:30 on Sunday, and any inquiring classmate will be given a good seat." REV. J. WALTER LOWRIE, American Presby- terian Mission, Paotingfu, North China. No report. Owing to the unsettled condition of North China it is more than probable that "Brick" did not receive the '^6 circulars in time to reply for the Record. In September, 1900, Lowrie sent to the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions the first detailed account of the massacre at Paotingfu. He had left the station to escort his mother, Mrs. Amelia P. Lowrie, who had been engaged in mis- sionary effort at the same city, to her steamer at Shanghai, as she was returning home on furlough. By a singuar coincidence Fulton was on the same steamer, but unfortunately the classmates were ig- norant of each other's presence and did not meet. On his way back Lowrie had gotten as far as Tien Tsin when the fighting began, and he served in the hospital during its continuance. This explains his absence from his station at the time of the massa- cre, and had he been there it is extremely doubtful whether he could have escaped with his life. "Brick" remained in Tien Tsin for some time, doing what he could for the comfort and aid of the troops, looking after the property of the various missions, helping native Christians. In October last he accompanied the foreign troops to Paoting- 64 iu, found all the mission property in ruins, and be- ing comfortably housed through the kindness of the German commander, he began to gather the surviving Christian Chinese and take up again the work that had been so violently interrupted, with the result that at the beginning of this year he had the joy of baptizing ten men into the membership of the church. We present entire the last letter received by the Class secretary from Lowrie : "Paotingfu, Nov. i6, 1896. "Dear Harrison : Your announcement of the sesquicentennial and the rally of ^'j() boys to it, together with the news of the preparation of the Class Record, has just arrived. Herewith a cheque for three dollars and an additional ten cents for postage. Kindly send the Record to my address: Paotingfu, North China. "I was sorry not to contribute my little towards making the Record complete, but the main facts of my small history are the same as ten years ago. I shall be much interested to see the varied ex- periences of those whose lives have been modified and multiplied by weddings and births and ad- vancements and the rest, and do not in the least lose interest in the joys of the members of the old Class. "A suggestion occurred to me while thinking that very soon again the twenty-fifth anniversary of '76 would arrive and another Class Record be called for. How would it answer to call from 65 every man for three or five observations upon life — ^the fruit of twenty-five years' experience in the 'billowy world' of which in college declamations we used to talk — (I don't think that you ever did, but some of the rest of us). They would, to some extent, each reflect the character of the writer, would naturally be both sober and merry, and ought, besides being interesting, to be even val- uable. The combined wisdom of such men as those were, gathered after the lapse of a quarter century, ought to throw some side lights on the Book of Proverbs. "Knowing that you are within call of many old classmates, through you I send greetings to all in- quiring ones. I am essentially a preacher these days, preaching six times or more a week. No happier or higher work on earth. Cordially yours, "J. W. Lqwrie." After the above was in type the following was re- ceived, July 12, 1901 : "Observations after twenty-five years: 1. "There is no calling more soul satisfying, not- withstanding all its depressing conditions, than the calling of the missionary. 2. "The eyes of men's souls are not figuratively but really blind. They do not see that Jesus Christ is indeed God come down to earth. 3. "The common and insidious habit of depre- ciating men and things corrupts the detractor, is nauseous to high-minded men and tends to paralyze all well meant efforts. 66 4. "As we grow older let us not view with appre- hension the inevitable, swift and manifold changes in society, government and elsewhere. The world's Pilot is at the wheel. 5, "To-morrow is one's enemy, to-day is one's friend. In the proper use of this friend lies one of the secrets of life. J. W. Lqwrie.

I am now partner in The Wilson and Lyon School, a majority of whose pupils are trained un- conditionally for Princeton. My honors consist for the most part of the living ones — boys enrolled among the honor men of the various colleges, and imbued with an understanding that these two things must go together: 'Manly dependence and manly independence, manly reliance and manly self-reliance.' "Of clubs, I am a member of the Princeton and of the University. "With the present expansion and outlook for growth of Princeton University, the mind of every alumnus must glow with proper pride. Dr. Mc- Cosh's fond hope of making Princeton an Ameri- can Oxford seems about to be realized. Magnifi- cent is the word for the new buildings and the sweep of college grounds, while the true scholastic spirit has its abode in the 'ancient pile of buildings,' 67 *far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife.' Princeton is keeping abreast of the times, and criti- cism of the changes in her ancient regime involves criticism of the changed conditions of our country at large.

"It is my privilege and pleasure to record five years of a busy, active life in my profession since last report, still pursuing phantom fortune and find- ing her as elusive as ever. In connection with my private practice I am an inspector for contagious diseases on the Board of Health, and am also Med- ical Examiner for the Prudential Insurance Com- pany. My honors have been strictly professional, the plaudits of the living and the blessings of the dead. Besides medical societies I am a member of the Society of the Cincinnati. "My oldest daughter graduated from St. Mary's School last June, and the other two are now at col- lege pursuing the classical course ; and the two boys have Princeton in view as the goal of their am- bition. "The only suggestion I have to make on second- ary education is that too little time and attention are given to the study of English, the study of words, their derivation and uses, and to practice in literary composition. It is the foundation stone 68 on which to build the college and university structure. "We all glory in Princeton's growth and ex- pansion into a University. In this busy, practical age every one should have an elementary knowl- edge of law, and I should like to see Princeton add to her courses of study one on 'Outline Studies of Law.' "After twenty-five years in life's busy garden I agree with Solomon that 'two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.' I have also observed that " 'The married (honest) man, though e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that.' " JOSEPH McELROY MANN, 153-157 Fifth Ave- nue, New York.

His oldest boy, Peter Carter Mann, expects to enter the freshman class at Princeton this coming fall, taking the academic course. The following clipping from the New York Times of August 8, 1898, may prove interesting : "Certain adherents of Yale declare that Avery, the famous Yale pitcher, invented the curved ball in 1873. If this is the case, they should kindly ex- plain how it was that on May 29, 1875, in a game at Hamilton Park, New Haven, Yale, facing the pitching of Joseph McElroy Mann of the Class of '76, Princeton, scored only a round goose egg, while Princeton, facing the famous Avery, scored three runs. Yale succeeded in getting a man to third base on errors in the first inning, and after that they did not get a man to first. The entire Yale nine showed conclusively that they had never seen a curve before. The truth is that Arthur Cum- mings of the Hartfords was the first profes- sional to pitch a curve, and Mr. Mann was the first amateur. Mr. Mann's record as a pitcher shows that the men who faced him did not know why they could not hit the ball, because the curve was unknown to them. Radcliff, Boyd, Fulmer, Bar- nie and other old-time professionals, whom he struck out, can testify to this." FRANCIS HARTMAN MARKOE, A. M., M. D., 15 East Forty-ninth Street, New York City.

WILLIAM JAMES McKITTRICK, 5097 Washington Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri. "Since my last report I have left Calvary Presby- terian Church, Buffalo, N. Y., to accept a call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, and have been at work here for two years.^ "One child living, Seward McKittrick, born No- vember 21, 1891. He is rather too young to furnish any interesting data. He goes to a private school and is filled up on a curriculum reaching all the way from cookery to the abstract sciences. A large part of his secondary education is carried on in a back yard behind the house, where his father teaches him the rudimentary rudiments of base- ball, with an interest and excitement on the part of the boy that sometimes makes his face as red as his hair, and awakens fears of an explosion that might shatter him back to the primitive nebulosity. (See Iverach on 'Evolution and Christianity,' or any other book that is close by and deals with the general subject of the world as it is, and things as they are.) "Princeton University ought to expand, and will expand until it bumps up against the confines of the Unknown and the Unknowable. The only thing for a university to do is to keep on expanding, not from the wind inside of it, but from the risings ideals of educated mankind outside of it and above it. "Princeton is all right — blooming and booming, settled down into her bigger clothes, going into the 72 twentieth century with a very audible whoop and gallop, whiskered and bearded, booted and saddled, for a splendid struggle with all the social and edu- cational problems of the coming age, "Life, too, is all right. I cannot find any ob- jection to it. I would be willing to go to consid- erable personal inconvenience to keep it up. A quarter of a century sobers and mellows it, but does not pluck the rose of dawn from its breast. The faces around us are older but sweeter, grasses and flowers are still whispering and singing, and the firmament is studded with larger stars. I have not yet evolved any sympathy with the grunt of pes- simism, and have no intellectual or spiritual fellow- ship with the blue-streaked philosophy that crum- ples down the glory of world and life into the spec- tacle of a triumphant devil leering into the face of a defeated God." Expressing much regret at his inability to at- tend the class supper, McKittrick writes: "Re- member me most lovingly to all the boys. God bless every one of them." In a letter written soon after he took up his resi- dence in St. Louis he affirms : "We are happily lo- cated here in St. Louis. Good church, good house, good health, good spirits, poor bicycling, no climate to speak of, but lots of weather, fine residences, heaps of mud and quite a Western ozone pervading the air. Now and then an itch creeps all over my flesh and a little streak of heat runs all through my bones to see the East again. We took our last vacation in the vicinity of Boston, and favored the Atlantic waves with our noisy and hilarious pres- ence. We like it very much out here, and find that we are carrying the same sky over the top of our heads." In January, 1898, McKittrick was a guest of the Princeton Club of New York at its annual dinner, when he delivered a stirring and eloquent address on The Alumni. At the annual meeting of the Princeton Alumni Association of St. Louis, in May last, he was elected one of the vice-presidents. SAMUEL DAVIS MELTON. Died December 10, 1880. [See Record No. IV., page 80.] REV. PAGE MILBURN, 812 Twentieth Street, Northwest, Washington, District of Co- lumbia. He is in the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Five years ago Page was pastor of a church in Baltimore. Thence he went to Wash- ington, D. C, to the Union M. E. Church, and at the recent session of the Annual Conference he was reappointed pastor of this church. The Christian Advocate of November i, 1900, contained an interesting article by Page, entitled "The Princeton College Revival in 1876, and Mr. Moody's Part in It." December 3, 1900, the members of the Union M. E. Church tendered Rev. and Mrs. Page Milburn 74 a public reception in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of their marriage. Davy and Mrs. Perrine were in Washington at the time, on their wedding trip, and were welcome guests at the re- ception. Let him speak for himself: 4. "Same as in list given in last Record. My son, Joseph W., is taking Latin-scientific course at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa. ; graduates in 1902, taking the four years' course in three years. My daughter, Mary E., is a freshman in the Woman's College of Baltimore, in the academic course. 5. "Am satisfied with the thoroughness of the work done in the secondary schools of Baltimore and Washington, except in the rudimentary branches. Reading and penmanship are not taught as carefully as they should be. Until this year spelling has been neglected in Washington. My criticism has been that too many things are taught in the public schools, and too much time is devoted to some studies. This may be necessary on ac- count of the multiplicity of tastes and degrees of mental alertness among the tax-payers on the one hand and of their offspring on the other. The secondary schools are very superior to those I at- tended thirty years or more ago. 6. 'T am not in a position to answer this ques- tion. I am proud of Princeton University, proud that I am a 'son of Old Nassau.' I hail with de- light every good thing coming to Princeton. 7. "Oh, my! I don't want to preach just now. To be good, to do good, to keep a conscience void 75 of offense toward God and man, to have a clear hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ, I am satisfied is the only satisfying life. This after an experience of twenty-five years. To be a gen- uine Christian is the highest type of manhood and the only satisfactory life. A man should be judged by what he is, and not by what he says he is, nor by what he has." JOHN G. MILLER, Market Street and Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois. "Jack" is full of business, but sends us the follow- ing: "Answering the inquiries, I am still without title, with a business address at the corner of Jack- son Boulevard and Market Street. I have no per- sonal history other than such as a business man has ; have confined my attention strictly to business. Have had no political nor literary aspirations nor experiences. Am a member of the Union League, Chicago Athletic and Washington Park Clubs. I have given no thought to educational subjects, and my observations of life have been from a very prac- tical standpoint, with such varied experience that it would be difficult to answer." "Jack" regrets his inability to be at the reunion and sends his regards to all the boys and best wishes for a good time THOMAS A. NOBLE, 508 Diamond Street, Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania. "My report will be short, so that you will not 76 have to hold back the Class Record. The reason I have not sent it earlier was that J. K.

"I believe a busy life is a happy one, and he who sets out in life with the determination to do his best will succeed. My uneventful career has been happy in striving to help those who need my as- sistance, whether they were able to pay for the as- sistance or not. I have had much pleasure out of the past twenty-five years, and the time has passed so rapidly I look back to the date when we graduated and think of it as being only five or six years ago. I feel as young and youthful as then and my friends say I have not changed. I still wear my freshman moustache, and can sprint as well as ever, and am willing to tackle Ed Bonner and Judge O.

He says : "There has been very little change since my last report. Pittsburgh is steadily forg- ing to the front of American cities, or, I had better put it, keeping up with the foremost. Its output in steel compares favorably with England. "I am very desirous of having both the boys go to Princeton, but find it very difficult to interest them sufficiently in the preparatory studies. "Princeton University is making wonderful prog- ress under the guidance of President Patton. One cannot fail to notice the interest the recent Alum- nus and under-graduate take in the institution, but mere enthusiasm and prolonged and continued cheering do not do much direct good. Let the 80 afore-mentioned take a more substantial view by subscribing to the Alumni Fund. That would be a fair test of loyalty.

In the same quiet, self-contained style "Davy" writes: "If it were not for the interruptions in our lives this life would be to us a long drawn out monotony. Half an hour ago I began to write this sentence and I have just been allowed to finish it. This day in my business is an illustration of what my life has been since we graduated twenty-five years ago. Yet I have no reason to complain, these very interruptions have been an incentive to urge me forward — the very essence of success.

REV. WILLIAM EDGAR PLUMLEY. Scranton yesterday lost an exemplary and valued citizen by the death of Professor William Edgar 81 Plumley, Head Master of the School of the Lacka- wanna. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word and a man of remarkably brilliant attain- ments. As Head Master of the School of the Lack- awanna he contributed immensely to the elevation of that institution to its present high plane of ex- cellence. As a man among men he taught a beau- tiful lesson by the nobleness of his life, and in his works as a leader in religious activities he set an example that was a model to be followed by any man. It was as an instructor of youth that Professor Plumley will be best remembered. He prepared for the profession of teaching at Princeton, graduating in the Class of 1876, when he was twenty-five years of age. He married in that same year Mrs. Mary Trask, eldest daughter of Rev. T. M. Cann, Principal of the School of the Lackawanna, and taught in Dr. Cann's school for two years. For four years he was Latin Master in Lawrenceville School, and later filled a similar position at Dr. Lyon's Classical School on Fifth Avenue, New York City. He re- turned to Scranton in 1896, and resumed his place in the School of the Lackawanna, serving as its Head Master. He was a son of Rev. Gardiner Spring Plumley, D, D., and was a native of New York City. He was himself a lay preacher, and for some time has regularly filled the pulpit of the Presbyterian Church at Taylor. For several months he has also been heard in the Sumner Avenue Presbyterian 82 W. E. Plumley A K. RlLEY H. R. SCHENCK De L. Wardlaw Church, West Scranton, preaching at Taylor on Sabbath morning and at the latter in the evening. He is survived by his widow and six children. The children are Howard, Stuart, Gardiner, Mary, Margaret and Sallie. (Scranton paper, May 15, 1901.) Simple but impressive services were conducted over the remains of Head Master W. E. Plumley, of the School of the Lackawanna, in the First Presby- terian Church yesterday afternoon. The church was filled with friends and former pupils, the School of the Lackawanna being present in a body. Rev. Drs. Logan, McLeod and Robinson preceded the casket, which was borne to a place before the altar by six of his former pupils — Messrs. James W. Oak- ford, Thomas Moore, Harry Kingsbury, Selden Kingsbury, Robert M. Scranton and Walter Briggs. After a prayer by Dr. Logan, who had been as- sociated with the deceased in church work during his residence in Scranton, Dr. McLeod, pastor of the church of which Mr. Plumley was an elder, paid a fitting tribute to his memory. In his remarks he quoted many verses from the Old and New Testa- ments telling of the future life and the home of the redeemed. In the Epistle to the Romans we read, "In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded that nei- ther death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall 83 be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord." Of Mr. Plumley the doctor said that he came of good stock, and there was something in blood. His father was a minister of the Gospel who kept the faith and lies in Metuchen, N. J., where we will take our friend to-morrow. He would have liked to become an ordained minister, but his profession was to teach. Never- theless, since he had been in Scranton he had been preaching in struggling churches. The speaker de- clared that no man in the city would care less to have a eulogy pronounced over him than Professor Plumley, as in his own opinion he had done only his duty. Speaking to the school. Dr. McLeod said that they had suffered a great loss. He had taught both by precept, and, what was more important, example. The church will miss him, the pupils will miss him and the city will miss him. Dr. McLeod then read the resolutions adopted by the session of the church. They are as follows: William Edgar Plumley was received into the membership of this church September 9, 1896, and was ordained and installed as a ruling elder May 2, 1897. He was called to his rest on the 14th inst., and died surrounded by his devoted family at his home on Quincy Avenue, after a very short ill- ness, at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Session out of a full heart makes record of the 84 unselfish devotion of our beloved brother to the work of the Master, both in this church and as op- portunity oflfered or duty called, in the general work of Christian Endeavor in our city and elsewhere. His sweetness of disposition, kindness of spirit and wide range of information made him a welcome visitor in time of trouble or of joy in the house- holds of God's people, and his willingness for ser- vice found expression far beyond his strength in ministerial labors in our struggling churches and mission fields, and this, too, even during his vaca- tions. Elder Plumley was a godly man whose life was lived by faith in the Son of God, and in his home, in the church, in society, and as a citizen no one questioned his . absolute sincerity and Christian character. He was a man of high ideals ; he loved nature and books and the beautiful and noble. He loved the association of good people and was the companion of all those who feared God. He was licensed to preach the Gospel by the Presbytery of Elizabeth, N. J., and while his duties as Head Master of the School of the Lackawanna absorbed much of his time and energy, he still found time for efficient service in the churches of our Pres- bytery, and was by it appointed to supply the pul- pits of the churches of Taylor and Sumner Avenue, where his services won for him the love and respect of the people and were blessed of God to their edi- fication and growth in grace. 85 He was an exceedingly tender-hearted man, strong in his sense of right and free in his expres- sions of hatred for wrong and evil, still his merciful disposition made him tender and full of sympathy toward wrong doers. We mourn the loss of our brother. We shall miss his warm greeting and his ever ready help. We shall miss him in the prayer meetings, where he has often led our worship, but our consolation is in Him whose he was and whom he served. We commend the widow and the fatherless to our covenant-keeping God with the earnest prayer for their comfort in the precious promise, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." The services were concluded with prayer by Dr. Robinson and the singing of "Nearer My God to Thee" by John T. Watkins. The space inside the chancel rail was filled with beautiful floral tributes from the School of the Lackawanna, organizations of which he was a member and from friends. A quartette consisting of Mrs. Alfred Connell, Mrs. W. J. Hand, Dr. George DeWitt and John T. Wat- kins sang impressively during the services. ALUMNI RESOLUTIONS. The following resolutions were adopted yesterday at a meeting of the Alumni of the School of the Lackawanna, presided over by Mr. J. W. Oakford : Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in his great wisdom to remove from our midst Professor 86 W. E. Plumley, for many years a teacher in and Head Master of the School of the Lackawanna, and Whereas, The Alumni of the School of the Lack- awanna have received the news of his death with great sorrow and have assembled this i6th day of May, A. D. 1901, for the purpose of expressing in some fitting manner their profound grief at the loss which they and the community have sustained. Be it, therefore Resolved, That we take this opportunity to ex- press our great appreciation and admiration of him as a man and a teacher. We respect him for what he was: a man of high Christian ideas; of lofty and exalted purposes; of loving and tender disposition, kind, gracious and benevolent. We honor him for what he did. In his modest, unostentatious manner he assisted those who needed his help; he elevated those with whom he came in contact; he encouraged all to better deeds and a more honest, upright life; he aided the poor and needy ; he used his talents, his time and his treasure for the uplifting of mankind. And, be it further Resolved, That we condole with the members of the School of the Lackawanna and those who have felt the influences of his noble Christian character and benign and wholesome personality, in this, their great deprivation. And, be it further Resolved, That we extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family to whom he has been a devoted hus- 87 band and a kind and loving father, in this, their sad bereavement. And, be it further Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this association and that a copy there- of be sent to his sorrowing family. R. M. SCRANTON, W. E. GUNSTER, W. J. Taney Torrey. Committee. The Scranton Republican, May 17, 1901. A whole-souled personality characterized our classmate, William Edgar Plumley. He was ever ready to give prodigally of his best — of his thought, of his sympathy, of his friendship, of his hospitality. He was a Christian gentleman, considerate of others' feelings, and deferring to others' opinions ; he was roused to righteous indignation in the presence of all forms of oppression and cruelty toward man or beast, and showed the chivalrous spirit of his New England ancestors, who strove with tongue and pen and sword for the rights of the individual. He was public spirited. He served two years in the National Guard of Pennsylvania. He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Elizabeth, New Jersey, October 8, 1890. He was an enthusiastic and tireless teacher, with a rare gift of clear presentment and of adding interest to whatever subject he taught. His sterling traits of helpfulness and thoroughness in his work, united to sound 88 learning, made him exceptionally popular with his pupils. After years of bravely meeting heavy responsi- bilities, from which he never shirked, he was sum- moned heavenward from his many activities at a time when he had made "adversity a winning fight." Such a life is a solution of the problem of living. He had "The faith that life on earth is being shaped "To glorious ends, that order, justice, love, "Mean man's completeness, mean effect as sure "As roundnesss in the dew-drop."

"As to Princeton, permit me to say that her strength for the present and future, in my judg- ment, lies not more in the accumulation of large endowments at the hands of multi-millionaires 89 than in the might of her glorious past and the hearty co-operation of all her sons. "If my experience in life has taught me any- thing it is this : That economists may reason out political and social problems according to exact principles of justice, but they are solved by the people, each one according to his own individual interest.

Princeton is in good hands. Life is full of hard and most attractive work for the man who is not afraid to plunge into it. The prizes are many, and Princeton men are getting their full share of them all. Princeton, both in her intellectual and spiritual life, was a 90 great uplift to me, I assure you. I can never re- pay her real help to me." Under date of June 20 "Dan" writes : "I was greatly disappointed in not being with you at the dinner. I had all my plans made to be present, when, on the afternoon of June 9, in Mont- clair, N. J., I was summoned home to the funeral of a brother Presbyterian minister in our congre- gation here in Monticello. I was so sorry about it, and I came past old Princeton and cast longing eyes over the fields, and thought of you all. My re- turn was so sudden and so unexpected that I did not even have time to write a note and send some hearty greetings to you." CHANDLER W. RIKER, 164 Market Street, Newark, New Jersey. No report. He sent word that he would attend the Class Dinner, but failed to be present. ALDEN KELLOGG RILEY, 1417 Twelfth Street, Des Moines, Iowa. He is manager of the Loan Department of the National Life and Trust Company, has no change to report in regard to his family, but says that the world has been treating him very nicely for the last four years, and he has no complaint to make. He and Chaifee, it will be noticed, are near neigh- bors. 91 REV. EDWIN P. ROBINSON, Dauphin, Penn- sylvania, or Orchard Park, Erie County, New York. "Robbie" is still preaching at Orchard Park, New lYork, and has sent the following interesting letter : "Since my last report there have been no changes that would alter my status, professionally, political- ly, matrimonially, hence 'I'm just the same.' But I am constrained to supplement my usually brief reports with a few details of the delightful trip I was about entering upon when they last heard from me, as that gives me an opportunity to say some- thing of 'yd in the far off parts of the world, "In company with Professor A. Guyot Cameron I left New York in April, 1896, for a trip through Belgium and Holland, and then into France. After reaching Paris and spending some time there we parted. Professor Cameron remaining to do some work in connection with his department, he was then at Yale, and I went into Switzerland, and thence made a trip into Italy as far as Rome, Ven- ice and Naples. Then around Germany, Saxony, and, finally, via Paris, to England, Scotland and Ireland. In the latter country I visited Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney stone several times. "Leaving London September 17 by steamer I started on my trip through the Mediterranean, stopping at Malta and touching at Brindisi. Chang- ing steamers at Port Said, I went north and entered Syria at Beyroot, then to Damascus, and later through the Holy Land to most of the places as- 92 sociated with the life and work of our Saviour. From Jaffa I returned to Port Said, and thence went to Cairo and the Pyramids. I left Port Said by steamer for Bombay, India, visited the Wilders and other friends south of Bombay, and crossed India by rail from Bombay to Calcutta, stopping at Delhi, Agra and Benares. "From Calcutta I went to Colombo, Ceylon, and visited the interior of that wondrously beautiful island as far as Kandy. By invitation of American friends I spent the Christmas holidays at Conoor, South India, crossed over to Madras by rail and then returned to Colombo. Taking steamer from there I passed through the straits, and after touch- ing at Singapore, turned north to Hong Kong, but only tarried a short time, for I hastened on to Can- ton to see dear Fulton. Fellows, we may well be proud of him. "When I was making my plans for leaving he said : 'Robbie, if you only stay over another steamer I will take you on a river trip, so that you may see somewhat of our work at the cities and vil- lages up the river, about two hundred miles.' I did not hesitate, and replied that I would gladly wait till the next steamer. I wish you could all have been with me to see some of the grand results that noble^ earnest fellow has been accomplishing for Christ's Kingdom in that part of China — churches, chapels and dispensaries, hundreds and hundreds of native converts and workers. In sev- eral places where we held services I sat at the 93 Lord's table with many happy and hopeful native Christians. Fellows, I must make the appeal here that '76 have a hand in the settlement of the affairs of China that will make most for her highest ad- vancement and return richest blessings upon us all. If there are those that cannot support a mis- sionary, there are none that cannot either have a native Bible woman or preacher working for them at an expense of from fifteen to thirty dollars per year. Fulton ought to hear from us after our 'Sil- ver Jubilee.' Then, too, there is Lowrie, whom I could not see because I could not get farther north than Shanghai, as the weather was not favorable at that season. But you all know how heroically he has been laboring these years, and how bravely he with others endured the siege at Pekin. I re- cently met a man lately come from China, and this is the tribute he paid him when he found I was a classmate : 'He is one of the truest, noblest Christian men.' And we all say yes. I bespeak for Lowrie in his work such co-operation and encour- agement as we may give our Fulton. And while on this line I must not forget those other noble fel- lows in Persia and Turkey, Sam Wilson and Chambers. They are laboring faithfully and suc- cessfully. Then, again, we are in Brazil and Mex- ico, through Wardlaw and Hike Hamilton. Oh, '76 is a grand power to the ends of the earth, "From China I passed through Japan's inland sea, and reaching Yokohama, went thence to Tokyo and south by rail to Kyoto, where I spent a few 94 days very delightfully with Orita and his family. I met his wife and seven children. He inquired most kindly for his classmates and has most gen- erous and pleasant remembrances of college days. He was principal of the High School and was hop- ing to be head of the splendid new university that was being erected in the city. Some of the build- ings were already completed. I finally left Yoko- hama, and, touching at Honolulu, arrived at San Francisco. After a few days in California I came east, and arrived home safely, having had unin- terrupted good health and verifying in every partic- ular Psalm 121." "Robbie" greatly regretted his inability to attend the reunion of 1901, where he was "pretty sure you all had a right royal time." ROBERT J. ROSS. Died April 10, 1879. [See Record No. IV., page 93.] WILBER F. RUDY, Collamer, Stanley County, South Dakota. He has been engaged in horse and cattle rais- ing. Lately he has closed out both lines, and is at present undecided what to do next, though he prefers live stock.

"I have no additional titles tacked on to my name 95 since the last report, but remain the same as before. "My history since last report has been quiet and without anything occurring in it of marked interest. I have devoted my time to the practice of my pro- fession and am still 'on deck.' Nothing great or striking to chronicle, but merely the every day in- cidents of an ordinary life. I have taken some little interest in political matters, as I feel it to be the duty of every man so to do. I have not engaged in any literary work, nor have I published any- thing. I am a member of the Citizens' and of the Crescent Athletic Club, "I am still a member of the Brotherhood of Bach- elors, so cannot give you any extended answers to questions Nos. 4 and 5. "As to the future of Princeton University, I fer- vently hope and trust that she will continue to grow and expand, even more rapidly than she has in the past. She cannot either halt or drift, or she will be out of the race. Certainly there are no signs but good ones at present, and her interests are in the hands and keeping of men who know her needs and will not hesitate or fail to most care- fully conserve them. Just what professional schools could be successfully established is some- what difficult to determine at present, but I have no doubt tliat the problem will be solved, and that, too, for the best interests of the University. A,s to the 'observations' and 'side lights,' that is a little too ponderous for me to tackle in such weather as 9S this, so will call 'quits' and leave these matters for some of the other boys." REV. HARRIS ROGERS SCHENCK. Roelof Schenck van Nydeck was born in the Province of Utrecht, Holland, in 1619, and came to Nieu Amsterdam in the ship "de Valckener," ar- riving June 28, 1650. In 1660 he married Neeltje van Couwenhoven, at what is now Flatlands, Long Island, where he then resided. Garrett Schenck, a son of Roelof, moved to Mon- mouth County, New Jersey, in 1696. In 1737 he, with his cousin, John van Couwenhoven, purchased of John Penn several thousand acres at Penn's Neck, near Princeton, N. J. Farms were given to the children of the two families, and the family cem- etery was set apart. Of this cemetery, now no longer used as a burying place, Harris Schenck was one of the trustees at the time of his death. Joseph Schenck, grandson of Garrett and great- grandfather of Harris, located at Princeton, and built the Schenck Homestead. Here Harris's grandfather and father were born. Rev. William E. Schenck, D. D., the father of Harris, after grad- uating from Princeton College and Princeton Semi- nary, married Jane Whittemore Torrey, daughter of William Torrey, and niece of John Torrey, LL. D., of Princeton College. He served with ac- ceptance in several pastorates, including the First Presbyterian Church of Princeton, of which his 97 father was an elder and trustee, and his uncle at one time a pastor. Harris Rogers Schenck, the youngest of eight children, was born February 27, 1856, in Philadel- phia, where his father was at that time serving the Church as Secretary of its Board of Publication. About two weeks after his birth the home was darkened by the death of his mother. His early education was obtained in the city of Philadelphia. At the age of thirteen he confessed his faith in Christ and became a communicant in the West Spruce Street Presbyterian Church. In September, 1872, he entered Princeton Col- lege. He was then sixteen years old, tall, slen- der, smooth-faced, more than ordinarily boyish in appearance and innocence. He soon became known among his fellow students as a careful and diligent scholar, whose chief characteristics were persistence and thoroughness. He early took a high standing in his class and maintained it throughout his course. From the beginning of his college career he was a consistent Christian, and a youth of severe and high ideals. It was while he was a senior in college that the revival of 1876 came with its great spiritual bless- ing and its far-reaching consequences to Princeton College. Schenck was active in the work of that revival, taking part in the public meetings in the college, speaking with his fellow students in pri- vate and going out with the delegations which 98 were sent to the neighboring churches in country and city. It was while he was on his way to meet one of these appointments, and while walking on the platform at Princeton Junction with one of his classmates, that he distinctly decided to devote his life to the Gospel ministry, a decision and an hour to which he frequently referred in after years as one of the most blessed of his experience. Upon graduating from College he became tutor in the Preparatory School at Princeton. While working in this capacity he suffered a severe at- tack of inflammatory rheumatism, the dregs of which were a heart affection from which he never fully recovered, and which at last proved fatal. This sickness made a trip to Florida necessary. He was in the habit of saying that that trip did him a world of good, as he threw all his rheuma- tism into the Atlantic between New York and Sa- vannah. In the fall of 1877 he entered Princeton Theologi- cal Seminary, where he took a four years' course. On June 7, 1881, he was ordained by the Presby- tery of Westchester and installed as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Mahopac Falls, New York. On the 30th of the following August he was mar- ried to Miss Minnie Hollister, of Bridgeport, Conn. The first great sorrow that came into his life was when, on the 12th of the following June, his wife and infant child were taken from his side and en- tered into rest. On February 26, 1884, he was married to Miss gg Mary A. Smith, of Bronxville, N. Y., who, with their daughter Elsie, survives him. In 1887 Mr. Schenck was installed by the Presbytery of West- chester pastor of the Mt. Kisco Presbyterian Church. Here he continued until he was called to the pastorate of the Falling Spring Church of Cham- bersburg, in 1892. This was his last pastorate, for it was while he was faithfully serving this church that he was stricken with his last and fatal illness. About the first of April, 1898, he began to suffer from an unusually aggravated attack of his old- time heart trouble. However, he attended the spring meeting of Presbytery, held in the early part of that month in the Harrisburg Westminster Church. He was unable to read the^paper on "Propor- tionate Giving," which he had prepared by request of the Committee of Arrangements. It was read for him, and was so highly regarded by the Presby- tery that it was proposed to publish it. At the final, session the Assembly's Overture on the Amend- ment to the Form of Government making the Dea- cons the Trustees of the Church was up for con- sideration. Schenck had prepared an elaborate ar- gument favoring the Overture, and, notwithstand- ing his feeble condition, he read his written arraign- ment of the policy of secular trustees and gave rea- sons for ordained men managing the temporal af- fairs of the Church. It was a paper that showed to good advantage his technical familiarity with the policy and practice of the Presbyterian Church in 100 all its branches, and was regarded by all, including those who disagreed with him, as a remarkably- strong argument for his position. This was the last service he performed for the Church. Almost immediately after he finished the Presbytery ad- journed and he returned to the home of his fellow presbyter where he always stayed when in Harris- burg. The evening previous his heart had worked badly and caused alarm, but he rallied. He was now evidently greatly exhausted. That afternoon he went to his home in Chambersburg, intending to start at once upon a short vacation. But the Master had other plans for him. Upon reaching home he went to bed, to suffer much pain, and to linger for weeks with alternating hope of recovery and anticipation of death. In June he was strong enough to go to his wife's home in Bronxville, New York, in the hope that a change of place might improve his health. He realized the serious nature of his malady and spoke with the utmost composure of its possible fatal termination. For a few days he rallied from the fatigue of the journey, and his persistent good cheer led our hearts to hope for better things than we feared. But the improvement was only tem- porary. He began to fail, and the best skill and the tenderest care were unavailing to stay the fatal de- cline. On Tuesday, June 21, 1898, he peacefully fell on sleep, sustained and sustaining others by the firm assurance of a blessed immortality and a glorious resurrection. On the following Thursday funeral services were held in Bronxville, in the home of his wife's father, Dr. Smith, where he died. The remains were borne to Princeton, N. J., where in the afternoon further services were held in the presence of a large congregation in the First Pres- byterian Church. The interment was in Princeton Cemetery, by the side of his own beloved dead. Schenck was a man of marked personality. His tall, stalwart frame attracted attention in any com- pany. His incisive and assertive expression of views, held with great clearness and expressed without hesitation, always won the attention of his associates and quickly drew the fire of his oppon- ents. No one who knew him could fail to be im- pressed with his intense conscientiousness. With him it was enough to know that a certain course was right. His bent of mind was legal, and this gave him a great fondness for the law of the church. Prob- ably no man in the Presbyterian Church of his years, and few men of any years, were as familiar as he with the law and usage of his Church. He kept himself 7ully informed of all cases in our ec- clesiastical courts and decisions of our General As- sembly, and was a repository of exact and minute information regarding all ecclesiastical procedure. Another characteristic of Brother Schenck was his passion for souls. His letters, his conversation and his prayers were full of the desire to bring men into relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He was most unselfish in his work and desired nothing but to build up the church and every member of it in righteousness. He was truly a minister, not asking to be served, but to serve. He delighted in the work of an evangelist, and ever responded with alacrity to the frequent calls of his brethren to come and help them in special services. Almost his last work was his visitation by appointment of Presby- tery to the Market Square Church of Harrisburg, where he conducted for the last two weeks of March evangelistic services. Another characteristic of Schenck was his schol- arly tastes. He was too active a pastor to devote much time to writing, and there are left but few products of his pen. Chief among these are: "A History of the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church," an article in the Southern Presbyterian Quarterly on "The Office of Elder in the Old Tes- tament," occasional sermons printed by request, and occasional articles in our religious papers upon topics of the times. As a pastor he was faithful. His ministries to the sick, the dying, the afflicted, were always wise and consoling. His care for the little children was thoughtful. He spared no pains. He never saved himself. Indeed, if he could have lived with less intensity and less unsparing devotion to his daily tasks he might have lived much longer. While in the fullness of his powers he was called to larger life and a higher service. [Extracts from an article presented to the Pres- 103 bytery of Carlisle, April, 1889, by George B. Stewart.] It is a special privilege for me to offer to my classmates this tribute of most loving, intimate and long-continued friendship to one who was so wor- thy of our respect, esteem and affection, and who was ever an honor to his class, a credit to his Alma Mater and a faithful minister in the Church of Christ. Our close friendship and intimacy began at our first meeting when I entered college. Be- cause of this there is, perhaps, no one of the fellows who knew more of the inner life of Harris and appreciated more fully those qualities that go to make the true and noble Christian man that he was. You all know well his mental ability and his record as a student, but more than these was his moral and spiritual life, which so deeply impressed and helped me. He was singularly generous- hearted, manly and pure-minded. In all the close relations I was permitted to sustain with him in college and seminary, and then in his home life with his family, he was ever an inspiration to purity of thought and earnestness of purpose towards the best things of life that would promise good to all. A few years ago we were spending a day in Buf- falo, N. Y., and we attended one of the meetings Mr. Moody was then holding there. When we en- tered the hall Mr. Moody was at once attracted by his striking appearance, and calling me to him asked who he was, and then invited him to take 104 part in the devotional services. And so, wherever he might be, "he could not be hid." His character and work were those of the Mas- ter. I am glad for his friendship. I am grateful for his love. I am thankful for his help to me, and I know the fellows of 'y() whom he loved will ap- preciate this sincere but inadequate tribute of his friend and classmate. The funeral services were in the First Presby- terian Church of Princeton, and were conducted by Stewart, who made a most fitting address. He and I were the only classmates present. The interment was in Princeton's Westminster Abbey. E. P. R. GEORGE D. SCUD0ER, Room 14, Damarin Block, Portsmouth, Ohio. "I have little of interest to record in the last five years. I am still practising law in Portsmouth. I was recently elected a trustee of Wooster Uni- versity and I was a Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, which met at Minneapolis in 1899. I met Symmes and Beach, also Harrison Clarke. 3. "Married, November 20, 1879, to H. Helen Damarin. 4. "One child, Charles Damarin Scudder, who, I hope, will enter Princeton in 1902." REV. L. J.

In the main, all of it has been pleasant and, so far as my merits have de- served, has been successful. It has been free from most of the disappointments which sour and dis- gust so many." FRANK S.

LIVINGSTON SMITH, 24 North Pine Street, York, Pennsylvania. "My life during the past five years has been spent in a vain effort to recover my health through a complete retirement and suspension of ministerial labors and a patient endurance of the Lord's afflict- ing hand. Meantime, I have given myself to the care of my family and to the education of my chil- dren, that they may be fitted to take up my life's work and carry it on even more successfully than I could have done it in any other way. For that pur- pose I have recently removed to this city, where I have placed them in better schools than the coun- try afforded. 107 "I am always happy to avail myself of any op- portunity to promote the cause to which I gave my life and heart, and I find many such opportun- ities from my location in this thriving city. "Since October last I have been able to preach occasionally without suffering as much as for- merly. "The two oldest children are in the second and third years, respectively, of the York Collegiate Institute. For the first time in all these years have my children had the advantages of schools worthy the name. "Twenty-five years of observation and experience have only confirmed the teachings of former years, that life is only worth the living when consecrated to the glorification of our God in the loving service of our fellow man. Better never to have lived than to have lived for self and time. The Christian life is the only life — all else is but a fruitless, waste- ful, sinful existence." MOSES ALLEN STARR, M.

"Princeton University is growing at a marvel- ous rate and has already become one of the great universities of the land. I believe the true policy is to promote its advance along its traditional lines. The undergraduate academic course must remain its determining characteristic. Its graduate school ought to be energetically developed, so as to make the university increasingly attractive to students de- siring to pursue graduate studies. But Princeton's chief work must be for undergraduate students. Ill 7. "Life is a school, with its hard lessons, delight- ful fellowships, valuable experiences, splendid train- ing for some post-graduate service.

" 'Secondary education' might be interpreted to signify the things one has learned or ought to learn by the process of disillusionment, as time clarifies the vision of the optimistic product of col- 113 lege commencements. Of this I have learned much. My song may not be 'sweeter/ to quote the opening quotation from Dr. Holmes, but it will be phrased more soberly, and mayhap more accu- rately than the song I sang about the cannon in 1876. It would run into the answer to No. 7, which would require a large amount of paper to do it justice, and more time than I have at my dis- posal, unless it had some good end to serve. I am by no means sure it would amuse or instruct the secretary, or possible readers of the Record, hence it would serve no good end. "I have put much of my beliefs in such shape as addresses to graduates, etc., which appear here and there in various periodicals. "Life for me has been very pleasant, chiefly be- cause I have a buoyant disposition and retain an almost boyish nature, despite much harrowing and many disappointments. The worst of this is the conviction, slowly forced upon me, that my abili- ties are of a distinctly respectable, useful, but not lofty order, capable of serving many wholesome ends, but of no epoch-making powers. It is im- possible for me to realize that I am so advanced in years as to be middle-aged. Life still looks bright to me and full of promises. I feel myself ready to undertake almost any quest in my chosen lines, with the full expectation of obtaining suc- cesses, and then I am forced to observe that my days are too full of petty responsibilities which brook no neglect from the standpoint of duty." 114 PROF. HENRY A. TODD, Ph. D., 824 West End Avenue, New York City, and "Woodlsuids," Baltimore, Maryland. "I am just returned, with wife and children, from an eight months' stay in Europe, where I have been enjoying my first 'sabbatical year' of absence from Columbia University. Our time was spent wholly in England and France — in the former country for pleasure and recreation, in the latter for the re- newal of old-time studies and associations. One of my experiences in England was a visit to the register of the old parish church at Bradford, where is recorded the baptism, early in the seventeenth century, of my first American ancestor. "Under query No. 4, I am happy to be able to report, in addition to two daughters already ac- counted for, the birth of two sons: Henry Wal- lingford Todd, born at 'Woodlands,' Baltimore, August 2, 1897, and Paul Wallingford Todd, born at 824 West End Avenue, New York, November 15, 1899. "The professional assurance of this happy con- summation to my former reports was given me some years since in a casual meeting, by Dr. 'Bob' Johnson, who declared authoritatively, and much to my satisfaction, that 'boys would follow.' In view of my recent genealogical success 'at both ends of the line,' I am interested in the organization of an 'American Family Record Society,' with strictly democratic family-emblem attachment, in 115 regard to which I should be happy to correspond with classmates and others. "As to query No. 5, 1 find, like every one else who gives the subject attention, that the secret of suc- cess in the rearing of children lies in the judicious combination of — no weak indulgence, a little firmness, and no end of devotion. If you wish your children to be able to speak a foreign language when they are grown, do not rely upon school or college training, but give them a foreign nurse from the outset. The only difficulty lies in finding a good one." "H"' neglects to add that he is, or was.

"As you may note, my experience with chil- dren being limited to a period of eighteen months, I am somewhat diffident in face of this question. Upon the training of young children Dr. George E. Dawson, in his lecture 'The Child that Resists,' seems to have more common sense than one finds in any recent writer. 6. "Princeton University should be expanded only as a means to an end, the end being the mak- ing of great men whose salutary influence shall be felt to the uttermost parts of the earth. The chief defect in its present graduates is physical, not men- tal, a fact mainly attributable to the undergraduate not learning how to exercise regularly as a habit. Daily exercise should be part of the instruction — 117 just as much part oi the opportunity given for the acquisition of knowledge as that supplied by any of the curriculum. I do not mean gymnastic tricks and field games, but such exercises as one can con- tinue as a daily habit after graduation; either such exercises as the Keating method gives or some similar method. The alumnus can carry away from Princeton this knowledge and habit, but he can not continue baseball, football, track athletics and gymnastic practice. Princeton alumni would have far more influence if there were not among them so many dyspeptic lean and plethoric fat. Fa- cilities for exercise at Princeton are now designed for the strong, who need it as gladiators, but inducements to exercise are not brought to bear upon the great majority. This great majority will lead sedentary lives. They will work with their brains mainly. Their occupations are within doors and regular exercise that is possible every day of the year indoors is what they should learn. "The habit of sensible, feasible, daily exercise once acquired will never die. Field work and ap- paratus exercises are always abandoned or fall into disuse because they must of necessity. What profiteth it a Princeton undergraduate if for four years he have muscles of steel and a straight front, but a few years later become rotund as the full moon or a coddler of chronic indigestion, with ap- pendicitis, gastritis, neuritis, cystitis or any other *itis* as his constant companions? iiS 7- " 'Observations on Life' — a most enticing trap for the unwary ! "I observe that the twenty-five years have passed as a 'watch in the night' ; that the future still has the allurements of hope; that one's judgment on others grows gentler as years mellow; that old friends are dearer and the simple virtues are still the most enduring, the most potent; that kindness, courage and truth yearly rise higher in our esteem, and that the rarest of all virtues, loyalty, grows still rarer; that he has the most capacity for en- joyment whose appreciations include most, and that no man need live in a fog of commonplace if he but practice rising above his own petty horizon; which is but saying that one's ability to rise above one's natural horizon is the greatest blessing de- rived from a university education."

The rule of my life has been in anything undertaken, no matter how trivial, to give it my. best thought and endeavor." LAPSLEY G. WALKER, Chattanooga, Ten- nessee. "I have little to report since the last Record. I am now, as I was then, the managing editor of the Chattanooga Times. I have since served as Chairman of the Election Commission for this (Hamilton) County, and as such earned the undying disfavor of the politicians, office-holders and office- seekers of my own party, because I insisted on fair and honest elections and demanded fair play for the people of the opposite party. The appointment came to me without solicitation, but the reappoint- ment will not come because the Governor is not built after my order of architecture. My exper- ience in politics, which has been largely, in fact I might say altogether, as an amateur, is that virtue in that particular field of endeavor must bear its own reward — it rarely gets any other. But on that account I think it is all the more the duty of the honest and high-minded citizen to give of his time and thought to partisan politics, to the end that the trickster, the time-servers and trimmers may not always control." For "Yap's" views in regard to Princeton, we quote some editorial remarks from the Chattan- ooga Times of June 17, 1897, anent the recent change from college to university : "The old graduate will cherish the name of 'Col- lege of New Jersey' as his Alma Mater with love and reverence, but he will none the less rejoice that the beloved institution has taken its rightful place in the highest rank of modern universities ; his only fear will be that the new regime may in a measure destroy that generous fraternity and warm-hearted affection for each other that charac- terized the students of former days and made Princeton College the most delightful and desirable institution of learning on the continent. The heart was then educated as well as the head, and the soul of the student was broadened and elevated by contact with such noble spirits as McLean, At- water, Alexander, and last, and above all, the la- mented McCosh, all of whom taught first the broth- erhood of man and afterwards added all other learn- ing thereto." "Yap" continues, under question No. 7 : "I have not much to boast of as a result of my twenty-five years in the 'wide, wide world.' I have tried to do my duty as it came to my hand, and to do it with all my might. I have used whatever ability I have had to the advancement of the inter- ests of those who trusted me, and I have measur- ably succeeded in securing and holding their con- fidence. I have not succeeded in accumulating much of this world's goods, but I have enjoyed and do now enjoy a happy and contented mind. I have been deprived of most of the luxuries, pleasures and opportunities for higher attainments, enjoyed by more highly favored classmates, but I have 122 found that these, things are not essential to genuine happiness. My lines have been cast in pleasant and congenial places, and after all there is little else to be found in the battle of existence. My conclusion, after these twenty-five years, is that the man whose tastes and duties conform, and who has attained to the things of which his ability is capable, has succeeded and may be accounted to have reached the highest degree of happiness pos- sible to him. There are successes in life all around us just as worthy of note and just as important to the world as Carnegie, Rockefeller or Schwab ; and in my judgment the man who wins in the lesser and more arduous walks of life will have just as much coming to him in the final round-up of credits as any of the more distinguished figures in the world's history."

In 1883 I first preached the Gospel according to Protestant ideas in the Province, now State, of Rio Grande de Norte, and organized later the first Pres- byterian Church in that State. "In the same year I also spent four weeks preach- 123 ing in the Province of Maranhao, and six weeks in 1884. My work has been in opening up new ground, bearing the hard knocks, and, after all dan- ger was over, to be succeeded by other missionar- ies.

His inauguration came September 21, 1900, the subject of his address being "The Lower Criticism as a Preparation for the Higher." According to the New York Observer of August 23, 1900, "he will instruct the Junior Class in the canon and text of the Old Testament. Years of enthusiastic study devoted to textual criticism have rendered Dr. Wilson peculiarly acquainted with the Old Testa- ment, its history, its present condition, its repre- sentatives in ancient versions, and the methods of determining its genuine form." "Bob" writes "My principal literary labor has been in the line of book reviews for a couple of the University of Chicago Reviews and for the Presby- 126 terian and Reformed Review. One of the pleasures of my life in Princeton has been that some of the boys of '76 have dropped in to see me. I hope there may be many returns of the same, and that their example may be followed by others." REV. SAMUEL GRAHAM WILSON, Tabriz, Persia, via Berlin. "I have continued the same work as reported in the last Record, with no changes worthy of special notice. "Rob visited us in the summer of 1898 and roughed it with me around Lake Urumia.

"I am not in full accord with the present ex- pansion policy of Princeton. The tendency now- adays seems to be to let the young men do as they please. The 'University' is too great, too exalted and too big for those at the head of the institution to take any interest in the personal welfare of the young men fresh from the restraining influence of home. The philosopher and teacher should not say to the pupil 'come up to my level' ; they should be willing to make the interest of the student their interest by coming into personal contact with each student.

I have been y with the same firm in San Francisco since 1882, and occupy what is generally considered a good posi- tion. I am free to say that it does not satisfy my ambition. However, I suppose I should not com- plain, and that a man with a thirteen-room house clear of incumbrance, on a fifty-foot front lot lo- cated in a good neighborhood, in the second largest city on the Pacific Coast, having no debts, with some money laid by, and with wife and children all 136 in good health and happy, is really better off than a good many. If in addition to all these good things this same man occupies a prominent political position in a city of sixty thousand inhabitants, if three times in succession he has been elected by ever increasing majorities, if he has the conscious- ness that he is trusted and honored by his friends and the public, and that he is respected, although hated, by his enemies, surely that man has no great cause for complaint. Well, to use a homely and un- grammatical expression : 'That man, that's me.' Such has been my experience during the past few- years, and I have just been re-elected by the largest vote received by any one of the many candidates running for that office to serve the city of Oakland for a term of two years more as Councilman at large, that is, representing the entire city, and not any single ward. "How did I get the office-holding bee in my bon- net ? Simply by having the riot act read to me by one of my young children at the beginning of a political campaign just before the holding of the conventions for making nominations. It was at the dinner table, and I was explaining to the family why it was that for the sixth consecutive evening I would have to be absent from home until quite late, as it was necessary that I should attend a political caucus having in view the promotion of the aspirations of one of my friends for Mayor. Up spoke one of my small boys: 'See here, papa, the whole family is getting tired of having you 137 work yourself to death helping other people get nominated and elected. Now, if you must be in politics, why don't you get in and get elected to some position yourself?' Verily this was 'wisdom from the mouths of babes.' I lingered over my black coffee and discussed the matter fully with the wife and children. The wife did not enthuse much over the project, but the youngsters were all emphatic and boisterous in their approval of the idea. ''Anything to make you happy,' I said, and I walked out of the house that evening with the firm determination to get a nomination as Councilman- at-large and to be elected. I did both, although not in one evening, of course. I got the nomination and was elected by a very flattering vote. That was in 1897. Then in 1899 I was renominated and re-elected by a still larger vote. And now in 1901 for the third time I have again been nominated and elected by the largest vote of any. "What have been the secrets of my success? I will tell you, I did not go into politics to make money. I waited until I felt that I could afford to be honest an3 that I was in a position where no amount of money could be an inducement to me to do wrong. I took up politics as a pastime and it be- came a passion. "I made municipal government a study. I treated all classes and conditions of men alike, without prejudice and without partiality. Rich and poor in politics are all the same to me. I have tried to be fair and just to all, and have ever striven to pro- 138 I u.L:;f Cl, ,i O < Q O Q mote the welfare of the community which had hon- ored me with its trust and confidence. "I have been sincere in my convictions and have fought for the principles I believe in. "I have never allowed myself to get carried away with an over-estimate of my own abilities nor of my importance, I have made it a point to remem- ber and know people after election just as well as I did before election. Whenever it has been in my power to do some poor fellow a good turn I have done it gladly, and have put myself out to oblige him when necessary. "When I tell one of my constituents that I will do a thing, I do it. It is political suicide to give what is known as 'the double cross.' In politics be careful how you give your word, but having given it, stand by it. Municipal ownership of water sup- ply is what I have been fighting for during the past four years, and will continue to advocate. "If you ask me what has been to me the greatest source of gratification in my political career, I will answer that it is the good which I have been able to do, the helping hand which by reason of my political position and influence I have been able to extend to many who were in need of it. ''You want a few observations on life as viewed after twenty-five years of graduation. "(i) Honesty is not policy, it is principle. "(2) The world can be divided into two great classes, the exploiters and the exploited, but most 139 of the world's happiness is not among the ex- ploiters. "(3) There is no sentiment in business. If you expect to get any of the world's money, you must have something of your own to offer in exchange therefor, whether it be ability, intelligence, knowl- edge, or goods, wares and merchandise. "(4) If you want anything in this world you must go after it. You are likely to be disappointed if you wait for things to come your way. "(5) The man who is perfectly contented with his lot in life is supremely happy ; but so also is a cow in a hay field. Don't be a cow. "(6) A clear conscience, good health and the respect of your fellow men are worth more than all the gold on earth.

HAROLD MANN. Died July 31, 1889. [See Record No. V., page 117.] HAMILTON MARKLEY. Hamilton Markley died at his home in Camden, New Jersey, April 4, 1900. He was born in Cam- den, N. J., on the 6th of May, 1854. His father, Al- bert W. Markley, was an active and influential di- rector of the Camden and Amboy Railroad from 1859 to the close of 1871, and in a portion of 1868 and 1869 was acting President. Hamilton was educated in private schools in Phil- adelphia until admitted to Princeton College in Sep- tember, 1872. Upon leaving Princeton he pursued professional studies for several months, and in Jan- uary, 1874, entered the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as weighmaster at Walnut Street Wharf. He was promoted to be Cash Clerk in 1875, Cashier in 1876, Chief Clerk of the consoli- dated stations, under L. N. Walton, January i, 1881, Chief Clerk of the West Philadelphia Freight Station, August i, 1886, and in addition to the latter, he served as Superintendent of the Grain Depot from November 7, 1889, to No- vember, 1891, and as Assistant Superintendent of the Merchants' Warehouse Company from Feb- ruary, 1888, to July 6, 1892. He was promoted to be freight agent of the Kensington District July 6, 144 1892. This district is the great manufacturing ter- ritory of Philadelphia, producing a million tons of freight annually to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr. Markley administered the affairs of the agency with fidelity and skill. He was also a director of the Camden and Philadelphia Ferry Company, having been elected January i, 1895. In addition to his official duties he devoted a part of his spare time to improving the military standing of the citizen soldiery of New Jersey. After many years of service with the National Guard of that State, he won for himself the com- mission of Major and Engineer of the Second Brig- ade, which ranks among the finest volunteer organi- zations in the United States. In April, 1899, he was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel and Quar- termaster on the staff of the Division Commander. Mr. Markley was a member of Camden Lodge, No. 15, F. and A. M.; Camden Lodge, No. 293, B. P. O. Elks ; the New Jersey Society of the Sons of Cincinnati, the New Jersey Society of Sons of the Revolution, the Loyal Legion of Pennsylvania, and the United Service Club of Philadelphia. He was a trustee of the First Presbyterian Church, Cam- den, and a member of several college fraternities. The funeral took place from his late residence in Camden on Saturday, April 7th. Rev Dr. Wil- liam H. Fishburn, of the First Presbyterian Church, officiated. Among the pall-bearers were United States Senator William J. Sewell, Attorney-General Grey, Superintendent A. O. Dayton, of the Penn- 145 sylvania Railroad, Col. Thomas Chambers, Col. D.. B. Murphy and John B. R. Cassady. Interment- was made in the family vault in Evergreen Ceme- tery. Mr. Markley took an interest in the moral move- ments of the day in the community in which he re- sided and along the lines of the railroads with which he was connected. Although at times his speech was brusque, an evident outcome of his military training, he aimed to be just and was always kind of heart and charitable of hand. A man of honor and integrity, a devoted son and brother and a good citizen, soldier and business man, his loss is keenly felt in the large circle of people who knew him. — The Pennsylvania Railroad Men's News. All who passed through freshman year with the Class of '76 remember big-hearted, genial, kindly "Ham" Markley with much affection. Although he did not graduate he was always deeply interested in Princeton and the Class, and attended the re- unions as opportunity permitted, being present at the Decennial dinner, and at the Sesquicentennial celebration, October 21, 1896. On this latter oc- casion two or three of the class lunched with him at the Inn and enjoyed his reminiscences of the old days, finding him little changed from the man they had known over twenty years before. That was the last class gathering where he was one of the number. In January, 1899, he had a severe attack of the grip, after which he never regained his customary 146 vigor, and to that disease is ascribed in some meas- ure his last illness. He died April 4, 1900, of cere- bral hemorrhage, at the home of his mother, in Camden. He was not married. H. L. H. LINCOLN WOOD MARSTON, Jr. Died No- vember 16, 1873.

"In my business (Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of New Jersey) and in my immediate family no changes have taken place since my last report. The boys (twins) are preparing as rapidly as possible for Princeton, and think it a long stretch till '05, but after an experience of twenty-five years in 'the bil- lowy world,' like the rest of us, they will doubtless not think a few years a long time. "The last time I was at Princeton I heard a re- mark attributed to an old lady resident, that if many more millions came into the place she would have to get out. An apt illustration of the growth and expansion of Princeton University." 147 WILLIAM PEARSON, P. O. Box 258, Harrisburg, Pennsylv£inia.

He is the editor of Pear- son's Reports and author of Pearson's Supreme Court Practice, member of the Dauphin County Historical Society, Harrisburg Board of Trade and the Country Club of Harrisburg. He is not married. HON. ANDREW PRICE, Thibodeaux, Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. "There is little to add to that which I see you already have in the Record of 1896. I declined to run for Congress again, and my last term expired on March 4, 1897. I was elected one of the dele- gates from the State at large to the Constitutional Convention, which met in New Orleans in 1898, and adopted a new constitution for the State of Louisiana. "Latterly I have been giving my time and atten- tion to my private affairs, spending my winters at my home in Louisiana, on my sugar plantation, 'Acadia,' and my summers at Donelson's, Tennes- see, at my stock farm, 'Clover Bottom.' "I was married June 26, 1879, to Miss Anna Margaret Gay, daughter of Hon. Edward J. Gay, of Iberville Parish, Pa. We have no children. "My interest in Princeton and the Class of '76 148 *^1 <* 2!nTi ' Hi: 0m r^*^',' '■* is not lessened by the twenty-five years which have passed since I was a freshman, and when I had the pleasure of knowing you and the other good fellows." MARTIN RALPH, 62 Willet Street, Jamaica, New York. Ralph writes under date of July 6, apologizing for not answering earlier, and saying that he had promised himself a visit to Princeton in June, but the very severe illness of a relative prevented. His interest in Princeton and '76 is still strong, though he feels that his long separation from them would render his answers to the questions propounded of little value, which, of course, is a great mistake. JOHN P. ROBERTS, P. O. Box 259, Columbus, Wisconsin. Roberts is one of the last to report, having de- layed writing that he might send his photograph, but his effort before the camera not being success- ful he sent his letter without the likeness, saying: "Anyhow, it would look like Old '36, so it is no matter. I have not forgotten '76 nor Princeton, for some of my happiest days were spent there." He reports as follows : 2. "The 'since' is so long ago that I do not know how far to go to reach it. But, in general, my health has been better for the last six or seven years than before that time. I follow my repair work — organ cleaning, sewing machine repairing, clocks, 149 watches, painting, fancy and indoor, furniture, etc. — and for the last four or five years, as a hobby, took up photographing, and unless you go faster than the lightning I will surely be prepared to take your visage, providing you come near enough to and within range of my camera. I read and study more or less as I get opportunity, my preference just now is mathematical, geometry, trigonometry, etc." JAMES A. ROBINSON, 604 Monongahela Bank Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "No title, just plain 'J^m.' 2. "Business, the same (New York Continental Jewell Filtration Company) and very lively at present. 3. "Like 'Jeff,' I do not believe in bigamy, and therefore have but the one good wife with which the Lord has blessed me. 4. "There have been no 'additions or subtractions' since last report. 7. "Life has been, on the whole. Very pleasant, and the only fault I can find is that it is too 'fleet- ing.' " JOSEPH M. ROSEBERRY, Belvidere, New Jersey. "My history since I last reported has been full of hard work and gratification, so far as success is concerned, and I am glad to say that I have been very fortunate in the trial of cases. My business ISO is a fairly good one, and I have about all I can do, so much so that I cannot attend to all of my busi- ness affairs, for I am interested to a small extent in iron ore and sand. I am making some money as I tread the pathway of life. "I have one child, a boy, born the 29th of April, 1897, and his particular business now is mischief- making, much to his mother's annoyance and my discomfort. "I am not acquainted with the matter contained in the 5th question, except in the way of castigation, and that I consider as primary education now. "The future growth and expansion of Princeton University depend, to a considerable extent, upon the acquisition of large gifts of money and endow- ments, and to an organization suitable to the mod- ern methods of competition, and with it all a su- perior excellence in all kinds of athletic sports, be- cause it is with young men as with Nature, a selec- tion of the fittest; and, for the satisfaction of the parents, a superb training in educational matters. "My observations of life are that I am more in- debted to my early training at home than to all else. It is and has been my pole star, and if I strayed somewhat at times, its influence drew me back. "To work hard and long I learned, and it is to this, the mother of success, that useful men, in all pursuits, owe their advantages, for men are a part of nature, and it seems to be her rule to make all 151 things war with one another until they finally re- turn to their original condition. "The most man can do is to make as many days of sunshine in his calendar of life as possible, for many shadows and clouds that flit across our path- way come unsought and are generally hidden from the light of our fellow kind. "To avoid these, to forget them, to think that the members of the human race are subject to the same vicissitudes, to take of life its happiness and to forget its evils, are earthly happiness so far as it goes."

"Same report as '96. My oldest, Lygon Corbin Smith, graduated in June from Wedemeyer's High School, Belton, as captain of the Military Depart- ment, Literary Course. My youngest, Oliver Carey, graduated from the Public High School, 152 May 24, and was elected class orator in a class of twenty-four.

"Remember me most kindly to my old friends, and I promise now that I shall strive most earnestly to be present at the next reunion." JONATHAN R. SWEET. Died June 3, 1897. After a brave fight against continued ifl-health, John was compelled to leave college in freshman year. He returned to his home in Newark, partly recovered his health and entered upon a course in medicine in New York City. Again he became ill, and finally he had to relin- quish all hope of a medical career, which had been his aim from childhood ; for his father was a physi- cian, and the whole line of the Sweet family were versed in simples and were natural doctors. 153 With patient resignation he turned from his books to the study of nature, and he became "one of the best botanists in New Jersey." He had a genuine love for flowers, and the daily donation from his garden, unobtrusively sent to the New York hospitals, made the flower mission of East Orange. In his home circle he was a devoted son and hus- band, and a sympathetic father, utterly unselfish and kind. In religion as in his friendships he was sincere and earnest, "one of those benignant souls who make a happy difference in the lives close around them, and in this way lift the average of earthly joy." E. D. L. REV. BEVERLEY ELLISON WARNER, D. D., 21 15 Chestnut Street, New Orleans, Louis- iana. "Bev" is rector of Trinity Church, New Orleans. For titles he pleads guilty to M. A. (Trinity Col- lege), and D. D. (University of the South). But we will let him speak for himself: "Is it twenty-five years? Why, General, it can't be. And yet when I read that 'Cooley' is elected to a Reform Council in California I know that years and years must have passed. Things like that need time. "History! I've had no history. I've been plod- ding and doing what I could, gradually losing my hair and assuming something like embonpoint. It is true that another book has seen the light for 154 which I am responsible, 'The Facts and the Faith — a Study in the Rationalism of the Apostles' Creed,' but it did not create any conspicuous stir — of the right sort. One of the Church papers toyed with it for three pages, and wound up by saying that 'only one good thing could come from the publication of thie bad little book' — and what do you think that was? 'It will give his Bishop an opportunity to depose the author from the ministry.' Now, would you call that success? There were other criticisms, but that is the one that lingers with me as I grow old. It has a certain naivete about it, a frank and simple directness that appeals to one's better nature. As for the Bishop, he bought a copy. For the information of the boys I may say that it has been recently re-issued in paper covers at fifty cents. It must be sold somehow. "In 1896 I arose to the dignity of a D. D., the University of the South in its blindness conferring the same, and the next year was made an Adminis- trator of Tulane University of Louisiana, which answers to the Trustee of other colleges and universities. It gives a man a certain degree of self-respect who has a vivid memory of his fresh- man days at Princeton, to be a Trustee. As Master of Ceremonies at the recent inauguration of a new President of the University, I thrilled with pride at herding a whole flock of college presidents and Su- preme Court judges into line — and remembered how I had thrilled in other days (also in other ways) when college presidents were ordering me about. 155 "Outside of my regular work I have a chronic habit of lecturing, mainly on Shakespeare — ^but it does very little harm. "As to clubs, I am a non-resident member of the Century Club, New York, and President of the Round Table Club, New Orleans. "I am quite sure — without troubling her with the question — that Mrs. Warner would have objected, any time during the past five years, to my marrying again. Of course, I understand that you want things to fill up the Record, but I know that she is not loyal enough to '76 even to make an effort to change things as they are. "We are pretty conservative down here in Louis- iana, and that may account for the fact that we have stubbornly resisted all inducements to alter the names, or even the dates of birth, of our chil- dren. They remain exactly as they have been re- ported : Gertrude, Philip and John. "Philip is at school not far from Princeton, and has the Princeton fever, although he is normally fit- ted for the navy. He may tread those historic Avalks in a year or so — I only hope not in his father's footsteps. "There is an improvement in the English prepar- ation of our secondary schools, but there is room for more. I am old-fashioned enough to think that English is the most important of all studies for our boys and girls. "Observations on life after twenty-five years? Well, it's a large order. 156 "Most of- us have probably gotten what we de- served. Many of us more. I am among the latter class, and I am profoundly grateful that, in spite of so much of my own effort to the contrary, my lines have fallen in pleasant places. I am more and more convinced that the boy is father to the man; that the studies, the tastes, the natural inclinations of a lad should be more attended to both by parents and teachers than they used to be, at all events. I know that the things I have done best in life are the things I had a taste for at college. The use of the elective system in its broadest application in my day would have been of inestimable benefit to me. I hope it will grow. I mean that my own boys shall go nowhere to college where they will not have the largest opportunity to develop the thing that is in them to do and to be. "I wish I could go to the supper, but I can't. My holiday is so long Anyway that I try not to shave it off too often. "Give my love to the boys. I see them so seldom. One day, two or three years ago, 'Andy' Price, 'Yap*^ Walker and I came together on a side street in New Orleans, and it needed all my influence with the police to prevent an arrest for riot. And 'Hendy'' is a usual experience when I go to New York. Bless them all. We had good times of old. Some of the details are not to be recalled often, but there was heart in the old life, and enthusiasm, and joy." In the fall of 1897 there was an outbreak of yel- low fever in New Orleans, and "Bev," who had been 157 passing the summer at Litchfield, Conn., returned home that he might be with his congregation. He was attacked by the disease and reported to have died. He saw two obituaries of himself, which he found "pleasant reading, but not exhilarating" ; one called him "d. pious martyr." The following is taken from an article in the New York Times of October 8, 1900 : Tulane University has a new President, whose name is Alderman, and, introducing him at the ex- ercises which marked the opening of the term, the Rev. Dr. Beverley Warner said that when the peo- ple of the city first heard the name of the new Pres- ident they had probably exclaimed "What ! bring another Alderman to New Orleans ! We rejoice that he is here. He is to train the future Aldermen of New Orleans, and he is to train them so that we may hope he will purify even the City Hall." No sooner had Dr. Warner's speech appeared in print than Mayor Paul Capde Vielle gave vehement expression to his anger and indignation that any- body should have intimated the need of purifying the City Hall. He severely denounced the doctor for using his wit against a municipal administration like that with which New Orleans is at present fa- vored. These remarks were submitted to Dr. War- ner, and he immediately denied any intention to of- fend, explaining that his speech was extemporan- eous, and that the spirit of his words had been mis- understood. He wrote to the Mayor a letter of re- gret that the latter should have seen anything per- 158 sonally offensive in the introductory address. The Mayor, in a letter of reply, accepted the communi- cation as an apology and begged the doctor to ac- cept the assurance of his continued respect and es- teem. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE ISAAC WELLING COOLEY, 914 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "I am now and have been for ten years en- gaged in life and accident insurance. I have had a few ups and several downs in business. In the last few years have had better health than formerly. "I have never married, so can not be expected to answer questions 3, 4 and 5." HON. ROLLA WELLS, Mayor's Office, St. Louis, Missouri. "I have nothing to add to my report for the Rec- ord, with the exception that in March last I was nominated by the regular Democratic City Conven- tion as a candidate for Mayor of the City of St. Louis. The election was held the second day of April, and I received a plurality of about eight thou- sand votes, and was inaugurated on the ninth day of the same month." A New York newspaper had the following the day after the election : Rolla Wells, the Mayor-elect of St. Louis, is a 159 wealthy real estate operator. He inherited a large fortune from his father, the late ex-Congressman Erastus Wells, who established the first omnibus line in St. Louis. Erastus Wells also secured the first charter for and built the first railroad in that city. His son, Rolla, when a young man, drove a car on this line for a while. The campaign for Mayor this year was particu- larly interesting because the man elected will serve during the World's Fair to be held in that city in commemoration of the Louisiana purchase. Mr. Wells is about fifty years old. He voted for Palmer and Buckner in 1896, being one of the organizers of the National Gold Democratic party. He has never held a public office. This is from a western newspaper: ROASTED BY BRYAN. Lincoln, Neb., March 16. — W. J. Bryan, in an editorial entitled "A Sample of Harmony," in the Commoner, roundly scores the St. Louis Democ- racy for nominating Rolla Wells for Mayor. Wells renounced his allegiance to the Democratic party in 1896 and openly supported McKinley in 1900, since which time, Mr. Bryan says. Wells has given no evidence of having a desire to return to the fold.^ 160 Later Daisan, Koto-Gakko, Kyoto, Japan, July 9, 1901. My dear friend Harrison: I beg your pardon not to have answered to you sooner, notwithstanding of your kind letters sent to rrie several times. The fact was this, that it is quite a labor to me to compose English, so I have often laid it aside on account of interruptions, of daily occurrence. I have not much material to report to you. I have eight children, six bo3^s, two girls. They are all well. Is there any one among our classmates to contest with me in getting so many offsprings? The first and second boys are now in the State Military College, expecting to offer their lives for the sake of defense of humanity and honor of their own country. The rest are going to secondary and elementary- schools, excepting the last, who is only two years, old. I am still serving in the sam.e college as before. The most important work to promote the welfare and standing of our country is especially to produce useful men in every direction. Toward such an aim, I believe I am doing good. If I could write English freely it would be a great pleasure to me to tell you about a confusion now going on in Eastern Asia and how we are situated,, and aiming in future. Ever yours sincerely, H.

R. Smith and Van Lennep arriving during the afternoon and even- ing. The Headquarters were opened at once, at 31 University Place which had been engaged a year be- fore for this purpose, and Saturday morning the house was abundantly and tastefully decorated with orange and black and the national colors, the principal feature being a broad strip of orange bunting across the porch, having inscribed on it "Welcome, Faculty and Alumni/' This was flanked on either side by banners bearing, respectively, "Welcome, Harvard," and "Wel- come, Yale." On the lawn the Class numerals were outlined with small American flags. Every train on Saturday added to the numbers, those registered being Ball, Macky, Fowler, M. N. Johnson, Woods, J. M. Mann, Peter Carter Mann, Patterson, Cowart, Noble, Henderson, Gregory, Cha- pin, Cuvellier, Symmes, Scudder, Kaufman, E. D. Lyon, A. B. Conger, W. A. Butler, H. R. Butler, Henry, Taylor, Elliott, and Parker. At 10:30 a. m., came the Junior Orations, and as "Jeff" Davis was one of the judges, his genial presence was missed from 180 Headquarters ' for a season. After luncheon the forces were marshalled, each man, carrying an orange flag bearing the Class number, and, preceded by a band of fifteen pieces, imported from Cranbury, marched to the railway station to meet the last trains before the ball game, then through the town and the college grounds to the baseball field. Seated with the Class were the wives and daughters of several of its members. One week before Yale had beaten Princeton by a score of 9 to 8, making six runs in the last inning; therefore much interest was felt in this contest, but Yale, although playing an excellent and plucky game, could not get her hits properly placed, and lost — 15 to 5. (The third game, which was thus necessitated, was played in New York, June 14, and gave another victory, and the series, to Princeton by a score of 5 to 2. There were no games with Harvard this year.) After the game, the various classes of alumni marched about the ball-field with their bands, pre- senting a most interesting sight; then returned to the College in a long procession, and sought their various rallying places. Saturday evening had for special at- tractions the senior class singing on the steps of Old North and the Glee Club concert in Alexander Hall. Sunday morning, Alexander Hall was crowded to hear Dr. Patton's baccalaureate sermon, and ^'jd was well represented in the congregation. One newcomer, Bryden, registered during the day. Monday's trains brought Russell, Stewart, R. N. Todd, J. A. L. Smith, Perrine, Beach, Lott, F. B. Smith, J. A. Robinson, Van Dike, Lytle and Scott H. Lytle, Evans, H. A. Todd, Turnure, Oli- phant and T. Jones. Harris B. Stewart, 1903, was also registered with his father. By special appointment, Mrs. James McCosh was at home to the Class of 'y^ at five o'clock, and we marched from Headquarters, each bearing his '76 flag, through the campus to her house, where the dear old lady, strong and vigorous in spite of her years, gave each man a most cordial welcome. Returning, the Class were photographed on the steps of North Col- lege (see frontispiece), and then proceeded to the Headquarters. The ^uina-Vicesimal Class Meeting President Bonner called the Class to order and the Treasurer presented the following report in regard to the Record of 1896 and other expenses : EXPENSES. Illustrations $151.20 Printing 156.40 Binding and stamping 60.40 Mailing 22.00 Menus and posters 9.75 Circulars, postage, etc 7.75 $407.50 RECEIPTS. From 99 subscriptions $293.28 Deficit 114.22 $407.50 182 SESQUI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. Circulars and postage $5-25 Banner, torches, etc 2.50 Circulars, etc., Feb. i, 1897 4.75 $12.50 There being a total deficit of $126.72, an appeal was issued in February, 1897, to the Class, which met with a generous response of $160,68, so that there was a balance in hand of $33.96 to begin the work of the present year. The Class Officers and the Executive Committee were re-elected, as follows : President — Robert Edwin Bonner. Vice-President — Henry E. Davis. Secretary and Treasurer — Henry L. Harrison. Executive Committee — The Class Officers, W. A. Butler, Jr., and C. R. Smith. The question of having a reunion of the Class in three years, in addition to the usual gathering at the end of five years, was raised, and, on motion that was duly carried, the matter was referred to the Executive Committee, with the request that within a year they present the subject to the Class and solicit a vote upon it. On motion, the Record Committee were requested to issue a Record in 1906. It was also moved and carried that the expense of maintaining headquarters be assessed upon the mem- bers of the Class. 183. The meeting had hardly gotten under way, when Professor Cameron came in. He was most cordially welcomed, and spoke for a few minutes of the service he was able to render Princeton through his knowl- edge of her history, concluding by saying that he was like an orange that was being sucked and would soon be thrown away to be trodden under foot and for- gotten. T^he Dinner Business havin g been transacted , the Class, forty- seven in number , marched to the Inn, where dinner was served at 8 o'clock. The following men were present : Ball Hegeman Perrine Beach Henderson J. A. Robinson Bonner Henry Russell Bryden M. N. Johnson Scudder H. R. Butler T. D. Jones C. R. Smith W. A. Butler Kaufman F.

When dinner was about half over, the menus were started about the table, and each diner affixed his au- tograph to each, so that all took away a very interest- ing souvenir of the occasion. At the proper time, the Czar opened the talk opera- 187 tions of the night with a few appropriate remarks, after which he turned over the meeting to "Slim," our accomplished toastmaster. "Slim," however, did not have things altogether his own way, for the Czar came in occasionally with a few suitable diversions, "Paley" Stewart was the representative of our Class in the Board of Trustees, where we now have three men. "Paley" told briefly what the objects of our boys are, and spoke to us in the old straight, strong fashion, which none of us are likely to forget. "Our Noble Class" was the toast on the programme for "J^ff" Davis, but Bonner made him respond to "Our Alma Mater." "Jefif" surprised his hearers by stating that when he left the College his mind was unsettled on religious questions, chiefly because neith- er Dr. Guyot nor Dr. McCosh would explain to him how animal life was developed on a coral island. He had heard the baccalaureate sermon of Dr. Patton on Sunday, and in it he found no satisfaction. In short, "Jeff" complained that his Alma Mater had not done a great deal for his soul, and he threw himself for hope upon the Scriptures. After the memory of "Our Classmates Gone Be- fore" had been drunk in silence, the Rev. Leonard W. Lott responded to the toast of "The Boys of the Cloth." Lott spoke in the same musical voice that used to delight us in Soph Year, and he paid a fitting tribute to the fellows who are working behind the sa- cred desk. Eddie Lyon had a hard task in responding to the "Unmarried Boys," for he undertook to apologize for i88 them and to explain that they were better off than the married fellows. This was too much even for "Soon- er" Fowler, who is still a bach., and as for the mar- ried men present, they simply laughed Eddie to scorn. Lyon supported his position with many apt quotations, but he was pleading before a packed jury and was bound to lose his case. Dr. M, Allen Starr was down to respond to "Our Medical Ones," but he was unfortunately not with us, and Dr. "Jack" Taylor kindly consented to act as his substitute. "Jack" made a graceful speech, in which he touched upon the important topic of a med- ical department at Princeton. He did not think our University advantageously situated for the establish- ment of a working medical school, because of the ab- sence of large hospitals. He believed, however, that a school for special medical research along advanced lines, not requiring the presence of human subjects, could be founded in Princeton and conducted success- fully. Harry Todd, who continues to be a Professor in Columbia, was called upon to respond to "The Edu- cators of the Class." Todd made some interesting re- marks about his experiences in dealing with the in- tellects of the young. Hendy, when called upon to respond to a toast to himself, repudiated the accusa- tion of "Slim" that he was a composer, and declared that the greatest composer Princeton had ever pro- duced was Bonner, because he had once succeeded in composing "Sooner." Hendy further declared that the spirit of Princeton seemed to be that of progress, 189 and that Xenophon's constantly reiterated "Enteuthen exelaunei" was descriptive of the history of the Class. To the toast of '"^6 in the Political Arena," Cuvel- lier, who was with us for the first time since he left College, responded in a very earnest speech. He dep- recated the manner in which educated gentlemen held aloof from the practical work of politics, leaving the management of public affairs in the hands of the pro- fessional wire-pullers. He urged the men of the Class to go to the primaries. Reform, he said, could not be accomplished from the outside, but must be achieved within the lines of one's party. He spoke fluently and eloquently, and the boys applauded him heartily. "Our Brothers at the Bar" was the subject to which Bayard Henry responded. Bayard is a bigger man physically than he was when he was in College, and he is a substantial man in his talk. He spoke simply and frankly, and he had a word or two to say in addi- tion to Stewart's about the work of Princeton's trustees. "Our Absent Boys" was set down for Dave Jones, but he was unable to be with us. "Slim" secured an excellent substitute in the person of Tom Elliott. He made one of those happy speeches for which he has become notable at our reunions. Most gracefully did he tell us how the absent boys were with us and how we were with them, and how the associations of the Class were always an inspiration to its members wher- ever they were doing their work in this world. 190 •' I ♦jir.-v Judge Ball (Bloody) responded to "The Married Boys." The Judge always makes a "tear" at Class reunions, but on this: occasion he outdid himself. He paid such an eloquent and touching tribute to the wives of the Class that he really moved his hearers, while his few brief words of sympathy with poor Eddie Lyon and his kind were deliciously apt and pointed. "Yap" Walker was on the menu to answer to "Our Journalistic Brothers," but he was unable to escape from his editorial burdens in Chattanooga, and so Turnure spoke in his place. Turnure disposed of his subject briefly and then invited the attention of the Class to journalistic enterprise in Princeton, espe- cially the Alumni Weekly. Beach was quite unable to see why he should have been chosen to respond to "The Ladies," but he proved in his few well-chosen words that he had a most sub- stantial appreciation of their adorable qualities. The proceedings wound up with General Harrison's response to "The Class Committee." The General read some letters and telegrams of regret from fel- lows who could not join us, spoke of a few of the difficulties encountered in getting up the Class Rec- ord, and from his correspondence in connection with the Record gave illustrations of the thought which had been amplified by Elliott, the unconscious influ- ence exerted one upon another by members of the Class of '76, and the incentive thereby given to many to do their best in all situations in life. Soon after speech-making began, Mr. James W. 191 Alexander, '60, came into the room and, being called upon to speak, recalled his adoption into the Class five years before, pledged himself to attend all our fu- ture reunions and expressed his great pride in the privilege. The statement was made during the week that the largest attendance of any Class at a twenty-fifth anni- versary thus far had been forty-seven. The Class of ^'jd was able to break this record, for while there were only forty-seven at the Class Dinner, there had been forty-eight men in town that day, R. N. Todd having been compelled to leave during the afternoon on ac- count of other engagements. Reference to the De- cennial Record discloses the fact that the meeting in 1886 "was the largest Class reunion ever held at Princeton, our own Triennial being the largest pre- viously." The breaking up of this, our most delightful gath- ering, began all too soon. Several withdrawing be- fore the speeches were over, took the trolley to Tren- ton and the late trains thence; others left by early trains on Tuesday, but there were about twenty-five to join in the procession of Alumni and to partake of the Alumni Dinner, 'yd was honored by having a representative preside, the Hon. Henry E. Da«is, LL.D., having been invited to perform that duty. "Jeff" was fully primed to speak for 'j^ in due course, but the earlier speeches were long and the day was warm, so the "man without a vote," by a Herculean effort, skipped from '71 to '81. He presided well, his 192 introductions were always happy, none could have done better. The weather must be alluded to; it was glorious, •cool and pleasant, but by Wednesday it had become the wonted Princeton Commencement article, and the last men, most of whom had also been the first, were ready to depart to their several homes, vowing they would return more frequently hereafter. THE CLASS OF 'y6 MEMORIAL PRIZE DEBATE At the Class reunion in 1886, this prize was estab- lished, under the following regulations : The debate should be held on Washington's Birthday of each year ; there should be four contestants, one from each class; the subject debated should be one of current interest in American politics. It was further ar- ranged that the Professor of Political Economy should €ach year select the subject and announce it at least two months previous to the time of the debate; that the Faculty should appoint three men to act as judges and award the prize. Subscriptions were obtained and the money was in- vested, from the income of which $50 was paid each year to the winner in debate. In 1891, the Class voted to increase the prize to $100, but sufficient money was not secured for this until 1895, since which time the prize awarded has been $100. 193 The securities now in possession of the Treasurer of Princeton University to the credit of this fund are one one-thousand-dollar bond of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, due in 1934, and twenty fifty-dollar shares of stock of the Nesquehoning Val- ley Railroad, each bearing five per cent. The total subscription amounted to $2,263.01. The debate was held in the old chapel on the even- ing of Washington's Birthday until 1895, when the contest was transferred to Alexander Hall and held in the morning, before the other customary exercises of the day, which are given in the gymnasium. Originally each debater was allowed twelve minutes for his first speech and eight minutes for rebuttal, but of late years these have been reduced to nine minutes and five minutes respectively. The Record of 1896 contained the subjects dis- cussed and the names of the debaters and prize win- ners from the establishment of the prize until that date. Following are the subjects and names of de- baters since 1896. Those having the affirmative side of the question are placed at the left, the negative at the right : 1897 Resolved, That the best interests of the United States require a large increase in her navy. H. H. Yocum, '98, Pa. W. B. Ramsey, '97, O. J. Jones, '00, N. J. N. S. Reeves, '99, N. Y. Prize awarded to H. H. Yocum. 194 1898 Resolved, That the United States should establish a system of Postal Savings Banks. Samuel B. Scott, '00, Pa. S. T. D. Jones, '01, N. J. Daniel F. Altland, '98, Pa. Wm. M. Schultz, '99, Pa. Prize awarded to Daniel F. Altland. 1899 Resolved, That our foreign policy should be guid- ed by the principles laid down in Washington's Fare- well Address. R. P. Swofford, '01, Mo. E. M. Mulock, '02, Pa. A. S. Weston, '99, Me. J. H. Hill, '00, Pa. Prize awarded to A. S.

Hope, '01, N. Y. John B. Kelly, '00, D. C. Prize awarded to Axtell J. Byles. 1901 Resolved, That the constitutional restrictions upon the suffrage recently adopted in North Carolina are for that State both wise and necessary. T. A. Butkiewicz, '04, Pa. John Ewing Steen, '03, Pa. Alex. J. Barrow, '02, Pa. Robt. Service Steen, '01, Pa. Prize awarded to Robert Service Steen. 19s THE SES^UICENTENNIAL When the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the charter of the College of New Jer- sey was celebrated, October 22, 1896, the following members of the Class took part in the festivities and marched about town in the procession: Ball, Beach, W. A. Butler, Jr., Co wart. Dunning, Edwards, W. B. Greene, Jr., Harrison, Hegeman, Henry, M. N. John- son, D. B. Jones, T. D. Jones, Leason, Mann, Markley, Markoe, Oliphant, Parker, Perrine, Riker, C. R. Smith, F. S. Smith, Starr, W. P. Stevenson, Stewart, Van Lennep, Van Dike, Woods. Four were accom- panied by their wives : Cowart, Edwards, Oliphant and Parker. Two brought two sons each: W. A. Butler and Stewart. 'y6 AND PRINCETON It is impossible at this time to present a complete list of the gifts made by members of the Class to the University in the past five years, but following are some of them: For the McCosh Professorship, $10,000, $550, $550 ; for the General Fund, $500 ; for trees and shrubs on the campus, $2,000; to purchase Ibooks for the Mathematics Seminary, $1,000, $500, $500, $250; for the new gymnasium, $250, $25, and seven men each give $1,000; for the Princeton Alumni University Fund, 35 men are annual contrib- utors, the total of their gifts for 1900 being $360. 196 s g OS t ^ THE FIRST FIFE TEARS OF THE UNIVERSITY When the Class of '76 celebrated its vigintennial,, our Alma Mater was still the College of New Jersey. Now she is Princeton University. It was in that year, 1896, that the University came into being. Five years in the new order of things have passed and have been notable in the development of the institution. Within the period the two dormitories, Blair Hall and Stafford Little Hall, the University Library and the additional Y. M. C. A. Building, Dodge Hall, have been erected. These buildings are not only the most beautiful upon our campus, they inaugurate a new era in our architectural development. For ex- ample, Blair Hall and Little Hall embody the idea of enclosing the campus with magnificent structures. To each of these it is proposed to make additions, by which one will be extended to University Hall, and the other toward the Brokaw Memorial, being con- nected with it by the new gymnasium. It is not im- probable that in days to come University Hall will give place to a building in harmony with the new ones, thus continuing the scheme along Nassau Street and making a cordon of buildings unequaled in any university. It is to be hoped, however, that the- campus in front of Old North will never be enclosed. There have been added to the Faculty twelve pro- fessors and instructors, all of whom are increasing- the reputation of that body for brilliancy in scholar- 197 ship and pedagogical skill. Of the present large Fac- ulty, over eighty in all, only eight — Professors Cam- eron, Shields, Packard, Brackett, Cornwall, Macklos- kie, MacMillan and Hunt — ^were our teachers. Dear old "Duff" was the last to leave us and pass to his glorious reward. Able as was the Faculty of our day, we must admit the splendid service and high ability of the present Faculty. We rejoice that the teaching power of Princeton has vastly increased, and in no period of five years more than in the last. Within this period the student body has grown from 1, 088 to 1,277. No finer set of fellows can be found on any campus. The best of it all is that the demo- cratic traditions of Princeton are preserved. The good-fellowship, the absence of snobbishness, the even chance for all men, the "Princeton spirit," are as con- spicuous in the University as in the College. There has been marked progress in the curriculum. The entrance requirements in the Academic Depart- ment were quite high enough, but they needed some modification by way of adjustment. This has been effected. In the School of Science there was need for thorough revision of the entrance requirements. This has been recently accomplished, with the prom- ise of great advantage to the School. In the curriculum proper a large number of val- uable courses have been added, and the range of elec- tives has been widened. The Seminaries have been increased in number, thoroughly organized and luxuriously housed in their own quarters in the University Library. There are 198 , now the Classical Philology, the English, the Mathe- matics, the Romance Languages, the Philosophy, the Ancient History and Archaeology, the Economics, and the History Seminaries, in all of which professors and students are pursuing advanced work with fine enthusiasm. Although the Seminarium had found its place in the College, yet in the University, the number, equip- ment, organization and efficiency of the seminaries have advanced until they are an integral and valued part of the institution's intellectual life. The fine form in which our representatives now ap- pear in the inter-collegiate debates, and the victories they win, are due to the organization two years ago of special courses in the Departments of Politics, His- tory, Economics, and Oratory. The Faculty has been more perfectly organized. An Academic Faculty and a Scientific Faculty have been formed, and these, together, constitute the Uni- versity Faculty. All of the Faculties have their necessary committees. A Secretary to the University has been added to the executive force. His duties mainly are to be a medium of communication between the University and the outside world, and to relieve the President's office of the enormous amount of detail business which has come to it with the growth of the University. A Dean of the Graduate School has been elected within the past year. Hitherto the graduate work has not been organized into a separate department, and it will be the duty of the new Dean to do this. 199 While he has not yet formally entered his new office^ yet Dean West, '74, has been formulating his plans and determining his policy. We may confidently ex- pect that the steps already taken and those contem- plated will make our Graduate School what it ought to be — one of the prominent features of our Uni- versity. A scheme for the representation of the Alumni in the government of the University has been adopted and set a-going. At the recent Commencement the first election for Alumni Trustees was held and awakened a gratifying degree of interest among the Alumni. It was flattering to the Class of ^yd that of the five Alumni chosen for this position, One was a '76 man,. David B. Jones, Esq. No worthier man could have been elected. This period may be called the era of organization. There is scarcely a department of the University that has not come under the beneficent influence of more careful organization. Five years is but a finger-breadth in the life of a great institution like Princeton. Yet we are amazed and delighted by the rapid strides with which Prince- ton has advanced between the twentieth and twenty- fifth anniversaries of the Class of '^6, the first five^ years of the University.
