A SCORE OF YEARS THE RECORD OF THE CLASS OF 1884 PRINCETON TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY NEW YORK PRINTED FOR THE CLASS M C M I V \ ^ " When the cares of life overtake us. Mingling fast our locks with gray. Should our dearest hopes betray us. False Fortune fall away. Still we banish care and sadness. As we turn our memories back. And recall those days of gladness 'Neath the Orange and the Black.' INTRODUCTION LOOKING back over days that are past, it is pleasant to note the harmony which has always characterized our class. Ever since that night in Freshman year, when the class responded as one man to that cry of "Atzy Four," from Mishoff clinging to the Cannon, has our class been bound man to man. No cliques, no factions, no dis- cord. One devoted, harmonious family. It is but natural that this spirit should find expression in such a round-robin family letter as this record, containing a message from each member to each of the others, and in which each classmate may lind at least some mention of every other. What a splendid thing it would be if this record might tell the whole story of each comrade, of his trials and strug- gles, of hopes baffled and ot ambitions achieved. Priceless as such a record would be, it is unattainable. Men will not let us get so close to their inner lives. We may only get a tew facts and then draw inference as to the rest. Men of qual- ity for achievement in deed are men modest in speech ; and those of us who have not been called to do great deeds are likewise silent. We cannot get men to write of themselves. All we can hope to do is to establish certain personal facts from the statements of the men themselves, and then to glean other information here and there. Endeavor has been made INTRODUCTION to give all the information obtainable about every man who at any time was ever in any way connected with our class. When we think of over a year of incessant writing, and of the fifteen hundred and more letters written, we wonder that more information has not been found, and when we think of the reticence of some men and their family and friends, and of the round-about way many facts have been gathered, we wonder that so much has been obtained. Somewhere in this book we know that you will find something of interest. Here you will find the story of some lives whose last chapter has been written. Maybe this will be the last note to be made of them, as they are passing into oblivion. As we read these stories we will feel proud that these men were our classmates. The devoted friendship of Stevens and Urner, the consecrated lives of Welling and Woodhull, the magnificent achievements of many of our comrades, will be a source of inspiration. We will all feel bound into a dearer and closer friendship by a more inti- mate knowledge of each classmate. No friendships are quite so true and close as those of our youth, and these have been mellowed and strengthened with the passing of twenty years. " Nothing 'gainst Time's scythe Can make defense — save Friendship." May this book serve in some degree to knit us closer to each other and to dear "Old Nassau." Let this book be dedicated then to the Friendships of College Days — those golden " days of gladness 'neath the Orange and the Black." VI CONTENTS Introduction ......

Rowland Ambrose G. Todd PERSONAL RECORDS OF '84 PERSONAL RECORDS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1884 WILLIAM ALTON, JR., A.B., LL.B., LAWYER, 1 133 STOCK EXCHANGE BUILDING, CHICAGO, ILL. WITH a break of some six weeks spent on his wheat farm in Dakota, Alton's first year after leaving Princeton was devoted to the study of the law. He passed his examinations to the Bar in 1887, with fine prospects for the future. As he had adopted for his life's motto, *' Love in a palace, but no love in a cottage," we suppose him to have attained the palace about five years after graduation, for he was mar- ried on October 15, 1889, to Miss Caroline Emma Wilson, and considers this the *' personal achievement ot the past twenty years which has given him the most satisfaction." Ernst was present at the wedding. Alton has three children — M. H. Alton, 12; Wm. Carol Alton, 10, and Lena Wilson Alton, 6 ; and his favorite leisure occupation is entertaining them. He has filled several public positions, and has worked in politics, serving as Judge of Elections and in other capacities. 3 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON He is a member of the following clubs: University; Law Club; Bar Association; Homewood Country Club. He has also been for some time and has been recently re-elected first vice-president of the Princeton Club of Chicago. In 1902 Alton helped to welcome Professor Woodrow Wilson to the annual dinner of the Alumni of Chicago. He says that he has not changed at all since he left Princeton; that ''he has not seen any" of his published writings ; that his ideal of perfect contentment is a " clean conscience," his fondest ambition *' success." He has achieved his ambition, for Alton has been success- ful. Several enterprises promoted by him have proved very profitable. In his profession he has made himself a good name. His home and his family are delightful. Can a man ask anything more ? WILLIAM E. AYRES, A.B., TEACHER, SWEDESBORO, N. J. " After leaving college I took up my residence at Toms River, Ocean County, New Jersey, and went into the brick business with my brother. In connection with four brick works we afterwards opened a general store. " In 1889 I married Miss Delia Jennings of Toms River. We have one daughter, Florence, who is now twelve years old. " Later I began teaching school, and from 1900 to 1903 I was principal of the schools of West Cape May. " I am now located in Swedesboro, New Jersey, and am 4 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON supervising principal of the schools of Woolwich Town- ship, Gloucester County, New Jersey." HARRY L. BALDWIN, C.E., TOPOGRAPHER U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, WASHINGTON, D. C. We have had quite a hunt for Baldwin. We advertised him as lost, but he turns up with this excellent letter and account of himself: *' It is rather startling to find myself among the missing, and I don't just understand the reason therefor. *' It produced much the same effect noted by Oliver Wendell Holmes in ' The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table,' as being produced when one first hears himself called *old man.' Having once experienced that delightful sensation, I can testify to the aptness of the author's description. Am not sure the designation was correct in my case, and not sure it was not. " Had not unfortunate real estate investment been made, I might now be in a position to realize my ideals. Have not lost hope yet, and also hope that before our 40th anni- versary is celebrated two of my descendants may be num- bered among Princeton's Alumni. I trust none of the other missing ones may have been less fortunate than I, but have had my curiosity aroused as to why any one should go to Sing Sing to live. *' I became Assistant Topographer on the U. S. Geologi- cal Survey on July 24th, 1884, at a salary of $720. I spent five months in field work in Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. ** We explored several of the side canons of the Colorado River, and had lots of hair-breadth escapes. 5 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON " Now, in 1 903, 1 am Topographer, at a salary of $2,400. " I have written several astronomical articles, whose dates I have forgotten. -I was married December i ith, 1895, to Miss Elizabeth J. Watson, and we have four children — Elizabeth, 6^; Harry, 5>^; James, 33^; Mary, 1% . " My ideal of contentment would be to have sufficient income to be at home twelve months of the year instead of six. Home to consist of an eight or nine-room house, ten acres of ground for garden, chickens, etc., located within easy distance of Washington or Denver, so that my children may have school advantages equal to those I have had ; a house servant who is thoroughly reliable (why long for the unat- tainable !) ; and finally a ' green old age,' with children hap- pily married and settled nearby. '« To employ my leisure hours in mechanical investigation, and to have the social pleasure of music, would make up my sum of content. " The achievement of the past twenty years which has given the most satisfaction is that I hold the record in geo- logical survey for accuracy and speed in primary triangula- tion. I am a Master Mason, Chapter of the Commandery and Mystic Shrine," JAMES MARK BALDWIN, A.B., A.M., Ph.D., Hon. D.Sc. (Oxford), Hon. LL.D. (Glasgow). PROFESSOR JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, BALTIMORE, MD. The career of Baldwin has been one of such stupendous achievement that your editors feel it is no confession of weak- 6 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ness to say that they are not competent to take a fair meas- ure of Baldwin and his work. We have, therefore, invoked the aid of Professor Ormond, who has kindly given us the following article : JAMES MARK BALDWIN James Mark Baldwin was born in i86i,and is now forty- two years old, having accomplished, before reaching middle age, a work that would be considered a great achievement for a long lifetime. It was the good fortune of the writer to serve on the committees that in his senior year awarded Mr. Baldwin the Baird Prize, and on his graduation the Mental Science Fellowship, the latter marking the beginning 7 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON of his philosophical career. This early work contained a germ of promise on which the writer, who knew him some- what intimately, founded a prediction of future success which has been much more than fulfilled. Mr. Baldwin spent his Fellowship year and part of another at Leipzig, studying under Professor Wundt and doing work in his laboratory in Experimental Psychology. He then re- turned to Princeton as Instructor in French, and in the mean- time took a course in Theology in the Princeton Theological Seminary. He also completed his studies for the Ph.D. de- gree in Philosophy, winning the degree by examination and thesis in 1887. The subject of his thesis was Materialism, a theme assigned to him by President McCosh. From 1887 to 1889 he occupied the chair of Philosophy in the University of Lake Forest, 111. He was then called to the University of Toronto, at Toronto, Canada, as Profes- sor of Philosophy, a position which he held till 1893, when he was called to Princeton as Professor of Psychology. This position he has held until the present (1903), when, much to the regret of Princeton, he has been called to Johns Hopkins University as the head of the new graduate department of Philosophy recently instituted there. Professor Baldwin's works are almost legion, and space will only permit mention of the more important. He has been an incessant and influential contributor to reviews and periodicals. His first important book was a translation from the French of Ribot's German Psychology of To-day (1886). His next publication was his important two-volume Hand- book of Psychology (1888 ; 2nd edition, 1891). Then fol- lowed a smaller treatise. Elements of Psychology (1893). ^^^ THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON 1895 appeared the first part of his Mental Development in the Child and the Race, which was followed in 1897 ^Y ^^^ second part on Social and Ethical Interpretations. These two volumes gave Professor Baldwin a world-wide reputation. They were translated into French, German and Italian, and secured to him the recognized leadership in the field of Gen- etic Psychology, The second volume, in manuscript, was awarded a special gold medal by the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences of Denmark. His next publication was his in- teresting little volume entitled Story of the Mind ( 1 898), written for beginners in Psychology. Since 1898 Professor Baldwin has published two books comprised largely of his more important addresses and contributions to periodicals, the first entitled Fragments in Philosophy and Science (i 902), the second, Development and Evolution (1902). At present Professor Baldwin is engaged on a work in Genetic Logic. In addition to the writings mentioned Professor Baldwin has served as associate editor of Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia, writing most of the articles on Psychological subjects. He is editor-in-chief of the important three-volume Dictionary ot Philosophy and Psychology (i 900-1 902). In connection with Professor Cattell, he founded and edits the Psychological Review. He is also editor of the Princeton Contributions to Psychology, which include the most important Psychological publications of Princeton men. Professor Baldwin is also one of the editors of a series in the History of Psychology, and he has also served as chairman of a committee to drait a plan of work in Psychology for the Carnegie University at Washington. That Professor Baldwin's work has been recognized is THE CLASS OF 1884, P 1^ I N C E T O N shown not only by the succession of important positions he has held, but also by the degrees and honors he has received. At Princeton he received the degrees of M.A. and Ph.D. in 1887. In 1900 the lirst degree of D.Sc. ever given at Ox- ford was conferred on Professor Baldwin. In 1897 ^^ ^^^ the first American to receive the special gold medal of the Denmark Academy of Sciences. In 1900 the University of Glasgow conferred on him the honorary degree of LL.D. He was president of the American Psychological i\ssociation in 1898 ; vice-president of the International Congress of Psy- chologists, London, 1892; member of the Council of the same organization, Munich, 1896; honorarv president of International Congress of Criminal Anthropology, Geneva, 1896. He is at present honorary member of the Aristotelian Society, London ; member of Society of American Natural- ists ; member Comite d'honeur scientific congresses, Paris, 1900; member of Trask Institute of Sociology, 1898, and of other societies too numerous to mention. Such a record is phenomenal for a man who is yet only forty-two. What the next twenty years will bring to pass in such a strenuous life it would hardly be safe to predict. We feel sure, however, that Professor Baldwin still holds a trump or two, and that the brilliant game is not near to its conclusion. Obtaining his initiation into experimental psy- chology in the laboratory of Wundt, then the most famous in Germany, Professor Baldwin has always emphasized the importance of laboratory methods, being the founder of the first British laboratory at Toronto, and also founding and equipping the psychological laboratorv at Princeton. Apply- ing experimental methods to the phenomena of individual 10 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRIx\CETON consciousness, Professor Baldwin was soon attracted by the Genetic aspect of the problems that arose. The idea of Gen- esis proved the open sesame that enabled him to connect the growth of consciousness, by means of its biological correla- tions, with the categories of evolution and heredity ; while, on the other side, it enabled him to extend the processes of development on into the field of the social. The epistem- ologist and metaphysician, as well as the educator and social philosopher, may find in the Genetic conception which Bald- win has taken a leading part in working out admirable data for their own work. As a teacher Baldwin has few equals. His enthusiasm tor his subject is contagious, and his mastery of it commands the confidence of his pupils. Though somewhat averse to lecturing before a very large body of students, his success as a lecturer is pronounced. He is in his element, though, when, surrounded by a limited number of advanced students, he takes the lead in an informal way in their discussions. He excels as a o-uide in investio-ation and as a leader and director in research. His own strength lies rather in the field ot orig- inal research and discovery than in that ot scholarly erudi- tion. This gives him a strong bias toward science and tempts him at times to put too little stress on form. Not that his productions are lacking in literary merit. His volumes on Mental Development especially make very interesting read- ing, and the fault touched on here only shows itself in a cer- tain impatience with the restraints of literary form. But this defect is greatly outweighed by the brilliant merits ot Pro- fessor Baldwin's work, which are so many as to make criti- cism on a single point seem ungracious. Let us hasten to II THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON say, then, that it is the richness of the feast that has made us critical, and that the standard we expect Professor Baldwin to surpass in the future is the one that he himself has set. As in everything else. Professor Baldwin has been happy in his family life. Mrs. Baldwin, who is a daughter of the late Dr. William Henry Green, not only keeps up the domestic end ot the establishment, but finds time to accompany her husband's literary and professional work with intelligent in- terest. There are two charming children, Helen and Eliza- beth, about thirteen and eleven years of age respectively. They are referred to as "H." and "E." in their father's books on child psychology. Under the home influence Baldwin has become quite domestic, and it is evident that in his affections the family jewels hold the highest place. To the facts stated by Professor Ormond we may add that the award of the Gold Medal of the Royal Academy of Sci- ences of Denmark, 1896, was the first time this medal has ever been awarded to an American. The French Institute ot Sociology, of which Baldwin is an honorary member, has only three American members. The occasion when Baldwin was presented for his degree of Hon. D.Sc, at Oxford, was a memorable one for America and lor Princeton. It was the first degree in Science ever awarded by Oxford. True to his Alma Mater, Baldwin pre- sented himself in his Princeton gown and hood. This was the first time any university colors except those of Oxford have ever been allowed in the historic Sheldonian Theatre. The presentation speech was an extended Latin oration pre- pared lor the occasion and delivered by Professor Elliott of Oxford. 12 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON [We know that every member of 1884 would read this with facihty and interest, but lack of space forbids its publi- cation.] The result of it all was, among other things, the red and gray gown which you will see on Baldwin in the academic procession. We present his picture, robed in this gown. But with all the greatness which Baldwin has achieved, and with all the honors which have been thrust upon him, he has main- tained a sincerity and simplicity of manner which has en- deared him more than ever to his fellows. No classmate ever went to Princeton who did not receive a hearty welcome to his home. We all remember that delightful reception at his house which he tendered to his classmates and their wives and friends on the occasion of our last reunion, and the lunch- eon he tendered the class at the time of the sesqui-centennial of the college. If you would see this rounded and mellowed man for yourselves, he has drawn his own picture in replies to our questions: In what ways do you think you have changed since graduation? *' From an over-serious 'Jim Dumps,' burdened with the weight of his own soul, to a ' Sunny Jim,' in love with everybody else." What accomplishments have you? "Photography and golf, mainly; in a secondary way, a little Psychology." Have you anv fixed habits, good or bad ; and if so, what are they? "A bundle of them, pretty well balanced in qual- ity, from staying home from church to going to Europe every two years or oftener. Newest habit is that of wearing eye- glasses for reading. Most valuable acquired habit is that of 13 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON judging persons liberally and allowing that their points ot view on conduct, opinion, political, religious, etc., may have a modicum of sense." What is your idea of perfect contentment ? " My lot as sketched above, with certain questionable additions, which, on the whole, would probably make me discontented. I should like to see the fellows oftener and have them become better acquainted with 'Sunny Jim,' sometimes also called * Easy Mark.' " CHARLES J. BANDMANN, MINING ENGINEER, fOS CALIFORNIA STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. " When the waters were dried And the earth did appear, The Lord he created the engineer." — Kipling. Charles J. Bandmann was not heard from in the first three records after graduation, except through a vague and glitter- ing rumor in 1887 that he was " interested in a gold mine." We learn from other sources that Bandmann took a prac- tical course in metallurgy under the State Mineralogist ot California in 1885, and in 1886 took charge of the Pittsburg Mines at Grass Valley, California. He also studied the manufacture of explosives, and was engaged in that business for several years. He writes that the successive steps in his career were : " first, powder manufacturing business, afterward mining, in which he has continued ever since, being now a consulting engineer." He has been President of California Rattan Co.; Manag- 14 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ing Director West Vancouver Commercial Co., and Consult- ing Engineer for several mining companies. Bandmann's business address is 508 California Street, San Francisco, California, under the firm name of Charles J. Band- mann Co., Engineer of Mines. CHAKI.t s 1. liANDMAW He was married January 11, 1888, in San Francisco, to Miss Ottelea F. Mann, and quite a number of i 884 men were present at the wedding. He has two children, Charles J. Bandmann, Jr., age 13, and Florence B, 5}^ . Bandmann has a cheerful philosophy. He says the 15 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON achievement of the past twenty years which has given him the most satisfaction, has been '^' making money," which sounds prosperous and comfortable. He adds: "I don't think I have changed at all. Am just as much of a 'kid' as ever; play the 'Jew's harp,' and speak French, German, and Spanish. My favorite occupation is to be at home, reading; my greatest social pleasure, the theatre, and my ideal of contentment to have no worries, no cares, a competency and good health." Bandmann belongs to the following clubs: Masonic So- ciety in which he has attained 328 ; Union League of San Francisco; Princeton Club of New York. He is a Republican in politics, and a believer in protec- tion and expansion, " Charlie " always had these beliefs as we saw in Fresh- man year when he tried to put out the fire in town, and was so zealous to ' protect ' the fair occupant of the house, and so generous in playing the hose on everyone and everything. EDWIN S. BELKNAP, A.B., TEAS, 5 FRANKLIN STREET, POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. After Princeton and one year at the Eastman Business Col- lege at Poughkeepsie, Belknap went into the spice and tea business in Bridgeport, Conn. His stores there were burned in 1889, and about that time he established a branch store, Torrington, Conn., and went to the latter place to live. Afterwards he returned to Poughkeepsie and became connected with the firm of B. Fischer & Co., tea merchants. 16 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON On April 14th, 1887, Belknap married Miss Julia D. Wright, daughter of Mr. Jeremiah Wright of Poughkeepsie. They have three children : William Cook, 16. Leslie Hurst, 12. Edwin S., Jr., 9. He belongs to the Princeton Club, Dutchess Club of Poughkeepsie, and University Club of Poughkeepsie. Bel- knap has not lost his athletic prowess of college days. He has figured successfully in local golf and tennis tournaments. JAMES B. BENSON, COUDERSPORT, PA. Benson left college in Freshman year. Nothing has been seen or heard of him since. All of the various ave- nues of inquiry we have followed have led to no informa- tion. The above address is taken from the college catalogue of our Freshman year. LAWRENCE W. BIGHAM, A.B., A.M., LL.B., LAWYER, 518 FOURTH AVENUE, PITTSBURGH, PA. [We promised Bigham, if he would only give us the facts, we would not publisii his letter, but edit one of our own. His letter is so good, however, that we publish it, asking his forgiveness.] My dear Todd : Your letter has touched my heart and I will give you just a little more data for your Class History, especially when you tell me that you will carefully edit the letters and be respon- sible at least for the English. It seems incredible to me that almost twenty years have elapsed since our graduation. The years have passed lightly 17 THE CLASSOF 1884, PRINCETON over me. I have not been sick a day in all that time. While not quite the youngest member of the class, I flatter myself that I will look quite as young as any when we meet at Com- mencement. My whole time during these twenty years has been given to the study and practice of the law. Probably my success in the profession has been as great as I deserved. I have not made a specialty of any particular branch of the law, excepting that I have practiced as little as possible in the criminal courts. I have not held any political office, but have taken some interest in politics. I have carried out Professor Gar- field's idea that it is the duty of the citizen to give at least a part of his leisure time to the pursuit of practical politics, as eloquently elaborated by him in his speech at the Princeton dinner on March 25th, 1904, in this city. I have taken part in one or two independent movements upon principle, but have mainly devoted my energies to the success of the Re- publican party, and have held and still hold positions of more or less importance in the City and County organizations of that party. This city and county have recently experienced the evils of a bogus reform administration, which tempora- rily defeated the Republican party. I did not espouse the cause of the so-called reformers, because I believed their ob- ject was loot rather than the benefit of the public, and their course when in power has Justified my belief. I attended Albany Law School and was graduated there- from in 1887. In the same year I received the degree of A.M. from Princeton. I intended trying for the degree of Ph.D. from Princeton and had some correspondence with Professor West on the matter. I refused to undergo the ex- THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON aminations required prior to registration, upon principle, be- lieving that the grantor is bound by the recitals in his deed, and the college had certified under its official seal to the rest of the world that I was passably versed in the subjects upon which examination was to be had ; so that line of study was never taken up by me. During the twenty years I have read extensively, but mis- cellaneously. I have kept up my slender acquaintance with the foreign languages which I gained while in college and acquired a reading knowledge of a few additional languages. The study of language is perhaps my especial fad. I have written no books. I was married on September 30th, 1891, at Albany, N. Y., to Blanche Louise Brainard of that city. Her father is Albert Brainard of Albany, and her mother Isabella Patter- son Brainard, now deceased. We have no children. There were no Princeton men at the wedding. I am not much of a club man. I am a member of the Princeton Club of Western Pennsylvania, of the Americus and Magee Republican clubs and of various Masonic bodies. . John G. Jennings, ex-' 84, is engaged in the oil-produc- ing business. He is a member of the firm of E. H. Jen- nings & Bros. I think he is married and has children. He is a hustling business man and I understand is pretty well otf. His firm is a very strong one. He is an enthusiastic Prince- ton man and frequently attends the Princeton Club dinners. He is away from thecitv a great deal of his time, and I have been unable to see him recently to obtain more information from him for you. Mr. Jennings is the only other member of '84 who now lives in this county. Carl I. Heydrick lives 19 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON at Franklin, a half-day's journey from here. Heydrick at- tended the Princeton dinner last week. He said he had written you and that he expected to attend the reunion. He is still entitled to the nickname " Sol." His face still retains the bloom of youth. I hope to be able to attend the reunion, but cannot promise to be there more than a day or two. It comes in a bad time of the year for me. HENRY McKIM BLACK, A.B., BANKER, 55 BROADWAY, NEW YORK CITY. For six months after graduation Black pursued '* farming operations and pleasure-seeking," after which he was engaged in the manufacture of electric burglar alarms in Camden, New Jersey, and in 1886 he went into the brokerage busi- ness in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, dealing in specialties and pat- ented articles. About 1890 he moved to New York and carried on a piano manufacturing business under the firm name of Black & Keffer, 729 First Avenue, in addition to his brokerage special- ties. He was the first to introduce tar camphor as a moth de- stroyer, but, being unable to obtain a patent thereon, its use soon became general. He then started in the banking business under the name of H. M. Black & Co. He was married in St. Paul's, Hoboken, New Jersey, on November 4th, 1891, to Miss Nina Wolf, daughter of Henry and Cecilia Wolf. 20 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON They have had three children, of whom two are living : Henry McKim, Jr., born July, 1892, died June, 1893; Gladys Newbold, born October 23d, 1893; William Tod, born July 24th, 1898. Black has been in the banking business for nine years, and says: ** Will probably end my days in same pursuit." He writes that his son, William Tod Black, is a future Princeton boy, and adds, "Next June I trust to meet many of you and go into further details." Rev. ALVIN BLACKWELL, A.B., A.M., CLERGYMAN, COOLBAUGHS, PA. Blackwell spent the first two years after graduation at teaching as principal of a school in Pennington, New Jersey. Since this time he has devoted himself to the ministry. Graduating at Princeton Seminary in 1889, his work tor three years after being ordained was at Federalsburgh, Ma- ryland. Since that time he has been pastor of the Middle Smithville Presbyterian Church at Coolbaughs, Pennsylvania. In 1 90 1 he was married at Lewis, Delaware, to Alice B., a daughter of William E. and Anna E. Bingham. JOSIAH LOW BLACKWELL, A.B., CONTRACTOR, 229 E. GERMAN STREET, BALTIMORE, MD. Charm as we might we could not succeed in getting a line from Blackwell, and therefore the following statements are not guaranteed : Blackwell is a general contractor, but making a specialty of street railway work. His headquarters are at 229 E. Ger- 21 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON man Street, Baltimore, Maryland, and he has branch offices in Philadelphia and New York. At first Blackwell became connected with the Bentley- Knight Company in the electrical business at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in which company he and his brothers owned a controlling interest. Thereafter, when said company was absorbed by the Thompson-Huston Company, he started his present general contracting business at Baltimore, turning his attention to the constructing and asphalting of streets, in- stalling electric street railways, etc. We understand he has been very successful. Blackwell is married, and we are told he has a family. Blackwell's silence we know is due to his desire to avoid being ** written up." It is not due to any lack of interest in Princeton or the class, for he is a member of the Princeton Club of New York and of Baltimore, and we frequently hear of him at the dinners and meetings of these associations. JOHN D. BLAIR, A.B. ATTORNEY AT LAW, HOLLIDAYSBURGH, PA. " Where have you been this while away ? Johnnie ; Johnnie ? " There has been no direct response from Blair since leav- ing Princeton until February i, 1904. He was reported to be in Europe in 1885, and in 1889 to have studied law and to be practising the same in Holli- daysburgh, Penn. He was said at that time to be "neither married nor engaged, but prospering in other ways." The following letter has been received from him : ** You 22 THE CLASS OF I 884, PRINCETON have so relentlessly bombarded me with postal cards and cir- culars, that out of self-defence I will give you this informa- tion. When a classmate does not respond there is a motive — it may be modesty, it may be regret. I regret that I am not able to schedule great achievements. I am practising law at Hollidaysburgh, Pa. I am not married. While this is much a negative letter as to myself, yet it is positive in this, that the successes of my classmates will be learned by me with great rejoicing. By this medium I send out to every class- mate my extreme interest in his welfare." We have learned that Blair's life as a graduate is much the same as it was at college — genteel, comfortable, progres- sive. Prosperity has followed him, and as a lawyer he has been successful in establishing a lucrative practice. JAMES W. K. BOAK, LAST KNOWN ADDRESS, LEROY, N. Y. Boak left college in Freshman year. He has never been heard of since. The following letter has been received from the postmaster at Leroy: " f>bruary 19, 1904. "J. W. K. Boak left Leroy about 1888, and gave no ad- dress. His present address is unknown. " George E. Marcellus, P.M." JOHN Y. BOYD, A.B., WHOLESALE COAL, BOYD, STICKNEY AND CO., 222 MARKET STREET, HARRISBURG, PA. Boyd has been in the business of wholesale coal ever since graduation. 23 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON The steps in his career have been regularly progressive. He entered the office of Boyd, Stickney & Co. in 1884, and is now junior partner. The 1889 Record says that he had then " one of the prettiest homes in Harrisburg," He was married on April 26, 1887, to Miss Eleanor Gil- more Herr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Herr. Several classmates were present at the wedding ceremony and assisted. Boyd has four children : James, Jr., age 16 ; Eleanor Gil- more, 10, A. Jackson Herr, 12, Louisa Yeomans, 8. His avoirdupois has increased considerably, but he is still active. He is an enthusiastic golfer, and belongs to many clubs. Rev. EDWARD L. BRADLEY, MANAGER, ALLENDALE FARM, LAKE VILLA, ILL. Here is a man who has probably done as much good for humanity as any member of our class. He is now conduct- ing the Allendale Farm, a sort of Boys' Junior Republic, at the above address. Ned did not go at once into this work, but first started into the publishing business as a member of the firm of William M. Bradley & Bros, at Philadelphia and New York. They were the publishers, among other books, of Bradley's Atlas. Later he became the Eastern agent of Rand & McNally, and then, deciding to go into the min- istry, he entered the Episcopal Theological Seminary at Mid- dletown. Later he was called to Chicago to the Western Theological Seminary, where he spent three years. While engaged in work in Chicago he became oppressed with the 24 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON poverty and unfavorable conditions which attended the life struggles of the street boys of Chicago. By his efforts cer- tain people of influence were interested in the enterprise, and especially those who had the administration of the juvenile courts of Chicago. So a farm was started with a few boys, and Bradley was placed in charge, and this has since devel- oped into a well-organized and splendidly-managed institu- tion where boys are given a chance to get away from their bad habits and develop those of thrift and usefulness. This is conducted on the lines of the Boy Republics. We are told that in fact Bradley is sole dictator in his little kingdom, but nobody knows it because Ned has the faculty of getting the boys to want to do what he wants them to do. A friend who has been to Allendale says the boys and each one of them love Bradley ; that he is really a great and good father to each one, and they are glad ot it. Some one has said *' happy is the man who has found his work." It is evident Bradley has found his, and he loves it and loves his boys each and every one. When we asked him if he was married he says '' No, no," but when we ask him the names of children he gives us a list of about seventy- five, which he siys are his by adoption although he is not re- sponsible for them. His answers to some of our questions show how deeply he is in love with his work. His fondest ambition is ** to place the work of Allendale upon a selt- supporting basis and withdraw it from the list of charitable institutions of the State," and he regards it as his best achieve- ment that he has accomplished something with the odds against him in the work in which he is now engaged. "What is your favorite leisure occupation ?" 25 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON " I have no leisure." " What social pleasures do you most enjoy?" " They donothave such things in these parts — too busy." *' What is your ideal of perfect contentment ? " " To be the foster father of lOO ; to see them grow and a few of them finish off at Princeton, as one of them will have done in June, 1907." In these few answers you get a fine picture of Bradley, up to his ears in work and happy in it. The Allendale Farm is at Lake Villa, Illinois, on the Wis- consin Central Railroad, fifty miles from Chicago, on the west shore of Cedar Lake. It is the home of forty or fifty boys from eight to twelve years of age, who are orphans or else wards of the Juvenile Court. There are five workers at Allendale who give their services. The cook, his assist- ant and the farmer are the only ones receiving pay. Why don't some of you fellows send for a copy of the " Allendale Blue Print "? You'll find it mighty interesting. WILLIAM D. BRERETON, YONKERS, N. Y. Brereton was only with us a short time — so short, in fact, we scarcely had time to get acquainted with him. We have tracked him to Yonkers, N. Y., but there the trail became " blind," and we could go no further. GEORGE BORROUGHS, PHARMACIST, MANASQUAN, N. J. Borroughs never completed his college course, but since then he has studied chemistry; and now is a graduate phar- 26 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON macist. About 1897 ^^ opened a drug store at Manasquan, New Jersey, where he has been very successful. A branch store was later opened at Point Pleasant, New Jersey. He is married and has one child, a son. JAMES E. BURT, M.D., D.O., PHYSICIAN, DRS. BRYAN AND BURT, ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY. '* The sixth and last call — a hurry call, I take it — reached me this morning. If Ambrose has been half as persistent in collecting bills as he has in drumming us derelicts up to duty, he surely is in a class with the J. P. M's, the W. H. V's, or the Hetty G's. " Note the foxy wording on the postal : * Can't get out class history without you ' (or something to that effect ! ) thereby inoculating our frame with the feeling that the * To be or not to be' of '84's autobiography is up to us. Some hesitate to write, doubtless, because of the personal element that must enter, necessarily, into a paper of this character ; but I shall take it for granted that this ' Twenty Years After ' is the one occasion in our lives when we are permitted to talk about ourselves without fear of offending the good senre of friends and neighbors. " Apropos of that classic phrase tempiis fugit, when we viewed the future through the large end of youth's telescope and saw, in imagination, the wads of wealth and chunks of fame awaiting us up the line, twenty years seemed a rather long time. But now as we stand on the eminence with hands in our pockets, * looking backward ' in more senses than one, we feel * how short ! ' 27 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON " I shall never forget that September afternoon in 1883, when I took train for South Jersey, where I was to become teacher of the ' district school ' in a small hamlet called Wey- mouth. As the college buildings dropped out of view one by one, it seemed that e-vei-ything was behind me. But what could a fellow do who was financially ' up against it,' and practically had been so from beginning of prep school life ! "As some of you know, I intended to return to college the next year and complete my course, but when the time came I weakened. My classmates would not be there. It was apparently the desire of the community that I teach an- other year, and they backed it up by materially increasing my salary ; furthermore, I had met my fate. The result was I taught two years longer, the last year as a married man. ** During the teaching period, in addition to getting mar- ried, I had paid off all obligations incurred during school life at Pennington and Princeton, and had about $1,000 to the good. So I concluded to enter into a newspaper and print- ing business at Asbury Park. The first move in that direc- tion was to build a little ' home by the sea,' and, by way of description, it had upon it a pretty cupola and a beautiful mortgage. We enlarged our newspaper and printing plant. I began to hustle in the commercial world and ride on rail- road passes. The stork meanwhile had hovered o'er our dwelling and left a baby girl, so that * papa ' for the next year pushed his pencil and directed the presses by day, and walked the floor at night. *' In addition to our local work I was seashore correspond- ent for several metropolitan papers, and reported the proceed- ings of the mid-winter sessions of the New Jersey Legislature. 28 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON '* Three years after the stork left us the baby girl, he concluded she would be lonesome without a brother — ** I might add that I was elected to fill different political offices, of more or less consequence, at various times, and Dame Fortune while never prodigal, generally rewarded our labors with a fair share of her favors. ** It had always been my desire to study medicine. The thought still skirmished in my brain cells, and one day, twelve years after quitting the University, I determined to carry out the idea. I feared to speak to my wife about it, but to my surprise, she not only encouraged me in the idea, but planned to help me carry it out. ** I disposed of my interests in the printing establishment, and matriculated at the New York Homeopathic Medical College. It wks hard work — leaving Asbury Park at six A. M., and returning at 8.30 p. m. '* The course was practically uneventful further than that I was elected Assistant Editor of the ' College Magazine ' in my junior year, and Editor the last year. " After graduation I took the New York State Regent's Examination, obtained license to practise there, and later re- ceived license to practise in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Have taken special courses in Clinical Microscopy and Bac- teriology at the New York Post Graduate College and Hos- pital and a course in Osteopathy, at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy, receiving the additional title of D.O. " My home is still at Asbury Park where I am associated professionally with Dr. Joseph A. Bryan. We have all we can do in the summer, and a branch office at Lakewood dur- ing the winter. 29 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON *' I want to say in closing that I have one of the best wives in the world, and my success, if I have attained any, is due as much to her as to myself. Our daughter — Mabel Helen — is now 17, and will enter Wellesley next September. The boy — Wilbur — is 13, and enters the high school in the fall. He is nearly as tall as his * dad,' is an enthusiast in athletics, and is as good as the average ' kid ' in his studies. Among the decorations of his room is one of my old Princeton flags, which he prizes highly, and he is looking anxiously forward to the time when he will be numbered among the sons of ' Old Nassau.' ** Now then, fellows, you have it in a crude way, from start to finish. What the next twenty vears will bring to us all is a question, but whether I live twenty or forty years longer my affection for Princeton and the class of 1884 will only be that much stronger. May we not hope that 'some- time, somewhere,' we shall renew the old fellowships never again to be broken. Burt." GEORGE P. BUTLER, A.B., A.M., BROKER, 35 WALL STREET, NEW YORK. Butler is one of the successful members of our class. After some little drifting around after graduation he settled into his proper channel, and then his progress was remarkable. When he graduated he announced that he was undecided as to his future course. He soon went to Lawrenceville as professor, where he re- mained until 1892. While there he was very successful as a teacher. He also devoted himself to literary work ; he wrote 30 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON a text-book entitled "School English," a manual for use in connection with the written English work of secondary schools. This was a simple and clear book of instruction in rhetoric, addressed to pupils of fifteen or sixteen years of age. It w^as said by the book reviewers of the time that " in offer- ing this manual Mr. Butler has done something that was well worth while." He also rewrote, revised and completed the School History of the United States, which Professor Johnston had in preparation before his death. In 1893 Butler went into Wall Street, where he served in various capacities until i 898, when, with his brother Arthur, Princeton, '92, he formed the firm of Geo. P. Butler & Bro. Butler is said to be very expert in analyzing corporation figures and reports, and he has great facility in estimating the value of commercial projects and devising methods of reor- ganization of companies and a readjustment of their finances. His reputation in these particulars has become widespread, and he has developed a large business. It is commonly stated in the newspapers that Geo. P. Butler & Bro. "are recognized Gould brokers." Since the firm was formed J. H. McClement and W. B. Lawrence have been taken into partnership. On the 24th of June, 1886, Butler was married to Miss Ellen Mudge, daughter of Mr. Daniel C. Mudge. They have an interesting family of four daughters and three sons. GEORGE H. CARPENTER, A.B., FIRE EXTINGUISHERS, 24/ PEARL STREET, NEW YORK CITY. After graduation Carpenter w^as engaged to tutor some young men desiring to enter Princeton, and the summer ot 31 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON 1884 was spent at Newport, Rhode Island, with a result that several men who have since been famous at Princeton were safely entered there in the fall. Then Carpenter turned his attention to the study of law in the office of Dillon & Swayne, New York City. While there he became engaged in the organization of several companies, and it appearing that he had pronounced executive ability he was placed at the head of one of these manufacturing enterprises. Thereafter certain legal difficulties arose, and these were made the occasion for somewhat extended articles in certain newspapers. None of the matters, however, were brought to trial until Carpenter forced a libel suit upon the New York '' Journal." This was strenuously contested, and after a long trial before a jury in New York City Carpenter was victorious. In the meantime, however, he had been industriously at work inending his shattered fortune, with the result that every dollar of the old debts was paid in full and prosperity was again in sight. In 1889 he organized the Kauff Organ Company of Phil- adelphia, which at that time was the largest pipe organ com- pany in the world. Later Carpenter became interested with the Equitable Mortgage Company and with George Ames of Boston and with Carroll D. Wright in the securities of certain companies. About 1895 ^^ ^^^ asked to look into the question of combustion and fire extinguishers. An extended study was made into the subject, and an entirely new theory of extin- guishing incipient fires was suggested by Carpenter, namely, by a dry inste-ad of a liquid process. This was a revolution 32 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON in the business. A new powder was patented to which the name of " Kilfyre " was given, and the ** Monarch Fire Ap- pliance Company " was organized to exploit it. Success attended the enterprise from the start. Carpenter continued the study of the subject of combustion in its incipient stages, and we have been told by the officers of insurance companies that he is to-day a recognized authority on that subject in this country, and as such is consulted as an expert by the United States Government departments and many of the largest transportation, telegraph and electric light companies. The financial success of the matter, we are told, has been phenomenal, so much so that the Pope Manufacturing Company has bought out the selling rights of " Kilfyre," leaving Carpenter at the head of the manufacturing at a princely compensation. Carpenter was married in 1886 to Miss Josephine Laird, daughter of Hon. John H. Laird of Elizabethtown, New Jersey. They have one son, George H. Carpenter, who is now 1 7 years of age. ALBERT A. CASTLE, A.B., LL.B. Castle has not been heard from for many years. It is reported that he is dead. After leaving college he studied law at Cincinnati University, Ohio, from which he graduated with the title of LL.B. in 1886. Efforts were made to reach him when the Class record of 1889 was in preparation but without success. He has given no word about himself His office was at No. 41 Pikes Building, Cincinnati, Ohio. His home address was Alexandria, Ohio. 33 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON SAMUEL M. CAULDWELL, C.E., ARCHITECT, ANDREW J. ROBINSON CO., GENERAL BUILDING CON- TRACTORS, 123 EAST 23D STREET, NEW YORK CITY. Cauldwell entered the Newell Universal Mills Company after his college course as mechanical engineer. Afterwards he was one of the engineers for the Bentley-Knight Electric Railway Company, in 1889, ^^^ ^^^ ^^'^^ associated with Blackwell and Aleck Moffat. In 1899 he was a member of the architectural firm of Howard, Cauldwell & Morgan, and he is at present in the Andrew J. Robinson Company, general building contractors and engineers. He says the various steps in his business career have been "front, rear and area steps, fire-escapes and ladders as incident to building operations in general." He was associated with Thomas Shields Clarke, '82, in the important sculptural monument designed to be placed be- tween Whig and Clio Halls, on the Princeton campus. The idea of the monument is, " The college graduate bringing gifts to his Alma Mater." The architectural part of the monument has been designed bv Cauldwell. If you will look at this model in the Art Build- ing, we think you will be proud of the artistic ability of one of our classmates. Cauldwell was married on December 12th, 1894, to Miss Julia Maria Valentine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Man- son Valentine, at 605 Madison Avenue, New York. He has four children — whose "ages vary from two to eight." "His writings consist," he says, "of advertisements for cooks wanted, for which see N. Y.

The following answers have been received to the class questions : *' I have received the thirty-second degree and title of Esquire." "Filled a small office in police station for one night." Changed since graduation? "Grown larger around the chest and below." Accomplishments : " Can perform with equal facility on following instruments : cornet, flute, sackbut, psaltery, dul- cimer." Cauldwell is just as bright and successful in his business as he is in answering class letters. His firm of Howard & Cauldwell stood very high in architecture in New York, They did some very substantial and highly artistic work, and a great deal of it. His present firm are very large operators in the largest and best class of buildings. Cauldwell has made good use of his time and his talents. The wolf never bothers his door, and we guess it never will. Rev. WILLIAM CHESTER, A. B., A.M., CLERGYMAN, 343O GRAND AVENUE, MILWAUKEE, WIS. Chester entered the Union Theological Seminary im- mediately after leaving Princeton and graduated three years later, in 1887. He was co-pastor of the Phillips Presbyte- rian Church, Madison Avenue, New York City, from 1887 to 1889 ; pastor of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church of Mil- 37 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON waukee, Wisconsin, from 188910 1898, and eleve avance de la Faculte de TheologieProtestante de /' Universitede Paris from 1898— 1 90 1 . At present he is living at 3430 Grand Avenue, Milwau- kee, Wisconsin, and while temporarily without charge is de- REV. WILLIAM CHF.STF.R voting himself to authorship. Chester was married on July 22d, I 890, at Milwaukee, the name of his wife being Marion Merrill Smith, fiee Marion Merrill ; her parents Mr. and Mrs. Sherburn Sanborn Merrill. No classmates were pres- ent at the wedding. He has two children, William Merrill Chester, 1 1 years of age, and Norman Merrill Chester, 7 years of age. His stepson, Sherburn Merrill Smith, is now in Princeton in the class of '06. Chester has done considerable writing and has in preparation for publication in New York a work entitled: " Does Consciousness Survive Brain Dissolu- 38 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON tion ? or The Witness of Science, Philosophy and Religion to Immortality." He is a member of the Society of the Cincinnati of the State of Connecticut, the Town Club of Milwaukee, and the Tennis Club of Paris. His fondest ambition, he says, is " domestic happiness and usefulness to humanity," and the personal achievement that has given him the most satisfaction has been " the broadening of his theological thought by scientific, philosophical and higher criticism studies." His favorite leisure occupation is reading and ten- nis. The editors of the Record are surprised that Billy makes no mention of bicycling. None of the boys can forget Billy's achievements on the high wheel in college days. The very mention of his name recalls a group of open-eyed, open- mouthed boys of '84 assembled in front of the old chapel with *' Billy" in the centre on one of the old-fashioned high wheels doing breakneck stunts. Can it be that the arrival of the prosaic safety wheel has destroyed his enthusiasm for the sport by eliminating the element of danger ? Tennis is all right, and we have no doubt that Billy does credit to the Class in the courts, but for our part — if only for the sake of the old days — we would like to see him once again astride of the daring wheel. Chester writes that his ideal of perfect contentment in life is " to have sufficient resources of intel- lect, heart and spirit to be comparatively independent of sur- rounding circumstances." Since the above was written Chester has resigned the pas- torate of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in order to go to Europe and study under Auguste Sabatier at the Univer- sity of Paris. His book, entitled 'Tmmortality a Rational Faith," has just been published. 39 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON HENRY F. COAN, A.B. Coan died in 1886. He went into the study of medi- cine, but died before he finished his course. Appendicitis was the cause. It is said his life might have been spared to us if surgery had at that time been as far advanced as it now is with that disease. WILLIAM E. COLLIS, CHESTER, N. J. ColHs really belongs to '82, but since he was with us a short time we make some claim to him. One of William E. Collis's friends says of him: *'He has been foremanof oneof our Grand Juries and has taken considerable interest in political affairs, at one time being seriously considered as the Republi- can candidate for Senator from Morris County. I have heard him make excellent speeches." CoUis was married on May 28, 1885, to Miss Anna Louise Warner, and they have two children, Mary Louise, born May 2, 1886; William Edwin, Jr., October 5, 1887. He is at present associated with the Wheeler and Wilson Sewing Machine Company, at Bridgeport, Connecticut. THOMAS C. COLTMAN, Ph. G. PHARMACIST, LA JUNTA, COL. After a silence of five years Coltman reported for himself in 1889 that he had left college at the end of Freshman year, expecting to return, but owing to financial reasons he had not been able to do so. 40 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON For the same financial reasons he entered a pharmacy in Camden, New Jersey, to learn the drug business. He re- mained in Camden one year, and afterward removed to Jenk- intown, Pennsylvania, where he accepted a position with J. W. Ridpath. He attended courses during this time at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, from which he graduated as a Ph. G. in April, 1885. He married Miss Emily Nice of Jenkintown, on October 7, 1886, and went into partner- ship with Mr. Ridpath in 1888. This partnership was dis- solved in October, 1892, and Thomas Coltman became the name of the business. Owing to the health of his wife, Coltman sold his busi- ness in Jenkintown in November, 1901, and removed to La Junta, Colorado. His wife's health improved under new skies, and he bought a drug store in La Junta in January, 1902. Thomas Her- bert Coltman was born on May 5, 1890. Coltman has held local positions of confidence in Jenkin- town, and has written for the newspapers. His favorite leisure occupation is gunning, and he says he has no accomplishments. FRANCIS L. COOLIDGE, A.B. COTTON BROKER, 112 WATER STREET, BOSTON, MASS. "Just after graduation I spent a few weeks in northern Virginia. Passed the rest of my vacation with my parents at our summer home in Cutries, Cape Cod. The latter part ol September I took a short trip to Montreal and Quebec. In October I entered a three years' apprenticeship in the ma- 41 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON chine shops of the Boston Manufacturing Co. in Wakham, Mass. " In April I went into the draughting rooms of the Law- rence Manufacturing Co. of Lowell, Mass., where I stayed until November, 1887. Then I traveled and loafed — mostly the latter — until April i, 1888. *' In April of that year I entered the Bay State Trust Co., Boston, an institution incorporated by the State of Massachu- setts for banking purposes, in connection with deposit vaults for the safe keeping of bonds, stocks, jewelry, plate, etc. My part was to look after the vaults. *' My reasons for leaving Lowell were shorter hours, more salary, and living at home. *' I continued in the banking business until 1895, ^^^^ since then have been a cotton broker. ^' My present business address is i i 2 Water Street, Boston, under the firm name of Coolidge, Cummings & Co., com- posed of Francis L. Coolidge, Frank A. Cummings, and J. Arthur Brooks. *' I was elected to Boston School Committee in December, 1896 for three years, beginning January, 1897, ^^^ ^^^ ^^~ elected to the same for three years, beginning January, 1900. " I was Secretary of Young Men's Democratic Club of Massachusetts from August, 1896, to January, i 901, and Sec- retary of Princeton Alumni Association of New England." [Coolidge was Secretary of Princeton Alumni for several terms. He made such a stirring speech at meeting of club in Boston, May I 5, I 902, that he was re-elected Secretary of club. — Ed.] He is also a member of the Puritan Club in Boston. 42 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON On November 19, 1901, Coolidge was married to Miss Alice Brackett White. He says that the only changes of the past twenty years are that *' I have lost some hair from top of my head, and FRANCIS L. COOLIDGE have had three wisdom teeth extracted. I am going along in the even tenor of my way, and enjoying myself as well as I can. I have no ideal of perfect contentment, and my fixed habits, good or bad, are — loafing." Coolidge is a Gold Democrat. Coolidge has served Princeton well. We are told by a Bostonian that he is largely responsible for the Princeton 43 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRIxNCETON Clubs of Boston and New England. He has ever been ready with time and energy and money to forward the interests of his Alma Mater. He has rendered good service also to the cause of good government in filling a difficult position in the school board, where with tact and firmness " Tommy " al- ways stood for the best interest of education, and steadfastly resisted putting that department into politics. ANDREW McNAIR COYLE, MECHANICAL ENGINEER, OTIS ELEVATOR CO.,17 BATTERY PLACE, NEW YORK CITY. After leaving Princeton, Coyle spent some time in Boston, with a manufacturing company, and then began business in Washington, D. C, as general contractor. He took out his first patent in 1886, and has been en- gaged in experimental work more or less since that time. " Most of my work," he says, "is in the scrap heap, but some has come into general use, particularly the devices in connection with electric elevators." He has been connected with several elevator companies. He is now with the Otis Company, and has been for some time past. In 1888, he married Miss Virginia S. Knox, of Rich- mond, Virginia, and has two children — Andrew McNair, Jr., 14; Mary Brook Temple, 13. Coyle shows a fine class-spirit, by thanking the Secretary and Class General for " keeping track of him all of these years," and ends his letter thus : " I have no great things to report but I am on deck, well and hearty and it is a great pleas- ure to me to greet my old classmates." 44 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ALEXANDER CRAWFORD, OCCUPATION AND ADDRESS UNKNOWN. It is funny how a man will " fall off the earth " appar- ently, and leave no trace of himself whatever. Crawford left college early in our course, and from that day to this nothing has been heard of him. Someone said he was in the United States Navy. The Department reported several Alexander Crawfords, and we ran each one down. One turned out to be a Commander in the Navy, but knew us not. Another was a Chaplain who likewise disclaimed any knowledge of Princeton. A third was a seaman who might be the Son of some of us old chaps. Then someone turned us loose on a new trail, which we followed through many and devious ways, finally to end in the studv of a genial old gentleman in New England, old enough to be the father of any of us, and who proclaimed his allegiance to Dartmouth, and disclaimed all other. Then a new scent was started at a hospital in Philadelphia that led to a pau- per's grave. And there we are. Can anyone make any new sugges- tions ? ALBERT N. CRECRAFT, EDITOR, FRANKLIN, INDIANA. Crecraft left us in Freshman year and it has been a long search to find him again, but we finally located a prosperous, busy editor at the above address and he proved to be our class- mate. His paper is the Franklin Democrat, A. F. Crecraft, pro- prietor. 45 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON He is married and has two sons, one eighteen years of age and one eight. He has been located at Franklin, Indi- ana, for over twelve years. In his letter he sends "A cordial greeting to you and all Princeton men." WILLIAM DARLING, WEST END TRUST BUILDING, PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. The following letter from Darling tells his story : " I was in hopes I would escape but Jack Kennedy threatens to write mv ^autobiography,' if Ifail to come to time, so in order to head him off, I will try to answer your questions, as I remember them. I think a general negative will answer most of them. I am not married nor have I any children. Why am I not married ? You will have to ask the other sex ; a general lack of appreciation on their part is the only way I can account for it. '' I have never been in politics nor have I received any titles or honors. I spent a number of years, immediately after leaving college, ranching with Kennedy in Wyoming ; for the past three years I have been in the employ of Joe Black- well, and at present am stationed in Philadelphia, which lat- ter fact I think will be sufficient to show anyone other than a Philadelphian, to what straits I have been reduced. '* Hoping the reunion this coming June will be a great suc- cess and that I will have the good luck to get there I am sin- cerely yours, William Darling." Darling is a member of the Westmoreland Club of Wilkes- barre, Pennsylvania. 46 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON JOHN C. DAVES, ROOM 32, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUILDING, BALTIMORE, MD. Daves is now the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, also Secretary and Treasurer of the Chamber of Commerce Building Company. JOHN C. DAVES A short time after leaving college he filled the office ot United States Engineer at Memphis, Tenn. From there he v^^ent to the Railroad Building, Tallahassee, Florida, and afterwards to the American District Telegraph, Baltimore, Md. His home address is i 36 West Lamballe Street, Baltimore. He was mar- 47 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ried to Nita K. Pitt on December 3, 1898, in Baltimore. The names of her parents were Faris C. Pitt and Nettie G. Wood Pitt. The only classmate mentioned by Daves as pres- ent at the wedding was Josiah Low Blackwell. Daves is a member of a number of societies, including the Society of the Cincinnati, the Society of the Colonial Wars, Sons of The Revolution, Foreign Wars, University Club of Baltimore, Tennessee Club of Memphis, Princeton Alumni Association of Maryland, and the North Carolina Society of Baltimore. We would like very much to be able to print a number of interesting tacts covered bv the questions sent out to the class, but in Daves's case we are unable to do so, for he is very un- communicative. He '* dodges " all the questions relating to his ambitions, his personal achievements, his habits, his leis- ure occupation, and his social pleasures. We must be con- tent, therefore, with picturing Jack as happily married and comfortably settled in life. We are sure that he is all this from the tone of the answers that he gives us, and we know from old times that he is popular in his circle, and that he enjoys social pleasures. It does seem to us, however, that he might have told us more about himself. CHARLES E. DAVIS, A.B., A.M., LL.B., LAWYER, NEW YORK CITY. Davis has not been heard from. We have gleaned the following facts here and there : After graduation Davis started to study law in New Jersey. Davis was admitted to the New Jersey Bar, and graduated from Columbia Law School, New York City. In our last Record he wrote : *' Like the Corpora- 48 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON tions of the Metropolis, I am now existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New York, having my prin- cipal place of business in the Potter Building in New York City." Davis has also studied theology. He went through the Seminary at Princeton from which he graduated, and later entered the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in New York. This led to several years of mission- ary work in the State of Washington. Later Davis was found engaged in law at Boise City, Idaho, and later he came back and settled at New York. LEONIDAS DENNIS, A.B., A.M., LL.B., lAWYER, 66 LIBERTY STREET, NEW YORK. Having graduated from Columbia Law School in May, 1886, Dennis was admitted to the bar the next month and began the practice of the law in New York City. In the '89 Record he says that "only success and encour- agement have been" shown him in his profession. He is now the Attorney for the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company, which does one of the largest surety and indemnity businesses in New York City. His position is one of great importance and responsibility and commands a fine compensation. Dennis was married on April i6, 1890, at Kingston, New York, to Miss Mary Shafer, daughter of C. B. Shafer. Billy Shaw was present at the wedding. We believe he has no children. Dennis lives in New York most of the time, but has a fine home at Lake Hopatcong, N. J. 49 THE CLASS OF 1804, PRINCETON EDWARD B. DOLTON, A.B., WHOLESALE GROCERIES, TRENTON, N. J. Dolton has been in the business of wholesale groceries ever since he left Princeton. He has been prominent in business and social circles of Trenton. He was at onetime president of the Board of Trade and a director and one of the largest stock holders of the Standard Fire Insurance Companies. In November, 1902, he lost a good sized fortune from unfortunate speculations in stocks. He was married on June 5, i 888, to Miss Maude Ralston Pierce, and has two boys, "who are studying hard and play- ing hard in order to qualify themselves intellectually and physically for the honor of Princeton University." Dolton is a Mason, and was in the militia, from which he was honorably discharged after live years of service. Dolton's letter says : "If I should go back to 1884 and relate the experiences of iny life since that date, I am afraid the Class History would be cumbersome. I will, therefore, limit myself to facts which are interesting to the class. " In looking back over the past twenty years I can readily see the mistakes which have been many, yet at the same time I feel grateful that I am alive and able still to cheer for ' old Nassau.' " SAMUEL G. DORNBLASER, A.B., A.M., CLERGYMAN, HAGERSTOWN, MD. " Immediately after graduation I spent three months trav- eling through the West. THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON " I entered the Theological Seminary in old historic Gettysburg in September, 1884, and spent three of the most delightful years of my academic life in that institution. '' In July, 1887, I entered upon the work of the minis- try in Johnsviile, Ohio. SAMUEL G- DORNBLASER " College companionship was greatly missed in this quiet town, and so after three and a half months, I concluded to take a life companion — a wife — who ever since has been a help and inspiration to the parson." Dornblaser was married on October 11, 1887, at Spring- field, Ohio. His wife was Miss Carrie Tressler Billow, and 51 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON they have three children: Helen Tressler, 14; Ruth Miller, 10; George Billow, 6. In May, 1890, he removed to Emporia, Kansas, where, he says : " Among other delightful people, we found some Princeton men." From }une, 1894, to March, 1903, Dornblaser was pas- tor of the Munro Avenue Lutheran Church of Columbus, Ohio. He now writes : '' Just recently we have taken up our abode in* Maryland, my Maryland,' and already we feel quite at home in the East, from whence I hail. As to * personal achieve- ments,' * accomplishments,' * habits,' ' leisure occupations,' ' pleasures,' etc., I have nothing to say. I might say, how- ever, that it would have been wise to have inquired of the wives of the married men as to the habits of their noble lords." Dornblaser received his A.M. from Princeton in 1888. Has filled several positions in connection with the Synod of Ohio and the Luther League. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Wittenburg College and of the Execu- tive Committee of the Luther League of Ohio. Dr. MALVERN H. DUE, PHYSICIAN, 117 N. I9TH ST., BIRMINGHAM, ALA. Due left our class and thereafter became numbered with the class of '85 and is accredited a member of that class. In their record issued in 1901 the following facts are re- corded. *' My career since leaving Princeton has been very un- eventful. I was graduated with degree of M.D., from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, in May, 52 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRIiNCETON 1888. Served as interne in Jersey City Hospital from May, '88, to May, '89. After resting a month in Montgomery, Alabama, I began practising my profession in that young and prosperous iron center of the South, Birmingham, Alabama, where I now am and expect to remain until iron goes out of use or I am consigned to the dust. I have lived in no other city and have diligently attended to the practice of medicine. On November 9, 1892, I was married in Montgomery, Alabama, to Miss Annie E. Clauton. Have one child, a daughter, born on October 2, 1893. -^^^ name is Juliette Clauton Due. I have never taken any part in politics. We have only one party in local and state affairs. In 1897, Birmingham had an epidemic of small-pox. I was appointed City Health Officer with forty men under me to put down the epidemic. This we succeeded in accom- plishing. I am now United States physician for the United States prisoners in this district and am also a member of the Board o£ United States Examining Surgeons for pen- sions. I know only one other Princeton man besides myselt in Birmingham — Dr. E. H. Sholl, '53. In conclusion, I would add, as a whole, the world has treated me fairly well. I have a good practice and am as happy as the ordinary man ever becomes. CHARLES B. DUNN, A.B., A.M., COUNSELLOR AT LAW, ROOMS / AND 8, ROMAINE BUILDING, PATER- SON, N. J. After graduation and until September, 1886, Dunn stud- ied law at Newton, New Jersey, in the law office of Martin 53 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Rosenkranz, '67. He then taught school in Hamburg, New Jersey, keeping up the law studies at the same time. He was a great success in his teaching, but abandoned it to become admitted to the bar in '87. He *' flung his shingle to the breeze " in Paterson, New Jersey, and has been there ever since. He is in partnership with his brother Michael, '81. They have a very large law practice and one or the other of them is in nearly every fa- mous trial in Paterson and vicinity. They are dominating factors in local politics and are said to be the '* power behind the throne." Dunn is not married. Perhaps because he still " lacks the courage of his convictions," as he said in '89. G. W. DYSINGER, M.D., D.D.S., I307-I309 WASHINGTON AVENUE, NORTH MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Dysinger was in the class of 1884 but one year, when he was obliged to leave to seek the favor of Dame Fortune, in order to gain the necessary funds to continue his course. He taught public school in Wyoming County, Penn., in I 881-1882, but hard luck and misfortune being his portion in the East, he turned his face westward and went out to Minneapolis in September, 1882. He entered the State University there, and pursued a course of study in medicine, surgery, and dentistry, gradu- ating in March, 1886, with the two degrees of M.D. and D.D.S. He practised in a general way until February, 1890, since 54 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON which time he has specialized in dentistry and is very suc- cessful. Fortune, whose favor he sought in earlier years, has bestowed upon him a comfortable and well-secured compe- tence. Dysinger was married March 17, 1885, to Miss Emily E. Mummah, of Mifflintown, Pa. They had one son — Raymond Girard — who was acci- dently shot while gunning on August 14, 1902. He died two days afterwards in the 1 4th year of his age. The shock of his son's death was so overwhelming that Dr. Dysinger has spent most of the past year in travelling ex- tensively in the far west and islands of the Pacific. H is a Presbyterian, a Knight Templar, and member of the Consistory 32*^. SENECA EGBERT, A.B., A.M., M.D., PHYSICIAN, PROFESSOR, 48 I4 SPRINGFIELD AVE., PHILADELPHIA, PA. People in and around Philadelphia look up to Egbert as an acknowledged authority in hygiene and sanitation, and nu- merous kindred subjects. Medical authorities in charge of the medical colleges have recognized his ability, and have given him very important chairs in their institutions. His success, however, might have been expected. Egbert came of good stock. He was a high-stand man at Andover, where he prepared for college. And we all remember he was always among the leaders in our class. Egbert's great-grandfather — William Egbert — was a sol- dier in the Revolutionary war. His original maternal ances- tor in America was Joseph Phipps, an Englishman and a 55 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON friend of William Penn, who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1682, and became a member of the first Pennsylvania as- sembly. Seneca Egbert graduated from the Medical Course in the University of Pennsylvania in 1888. He was made Demonstrator of Hygiene in the latter Uni- versity in 1888, where he remained four years, being lecturer on Hygiene from 1890—92. He has been Professor of Hy- giene and Sanitation in the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia since June, 1893, and Dean of the Medical De- partment of the same college since January 3, 1898. He is also lecturer on Hygiene at P. E. Church Train- ing School (since 1892) and in the Ludwick-Institute course of the Academy of Natural Sciences. He was Professor of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene in Temple College, Philadelphia, from 1896— 1899. He was vis- iting surgeon to the Northern Home for Friendless Children from 1889— 1892. Dr. Egbert was married on September 26, 1888, at Frank- lin, Pa., to Miss Nancy McClellan Bredin, a daughter of Dr. Stephen L. C. Bredin. Heydrick was present at the wedding. They have two children, Albert Victor, who will be i 5 years old in July, and Catherine Bredin, 14 in May. He is author of: "A Manual of Hygiene and Sanitation," now in its 3d edition; a text book in over thirty-live medical schools in this country. He has also written numerous arti- cles for medical journals, etc., and read the Annual Address on Hygiene and State Medicine at the Annual Meeting of the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, September 22, 1903. Egbert writes of himself as follows : " I must admit that 5^ THE CLASS OF 1884, PRIxVCETON Dame Fortune has been very good to me and mine, and that her unmarried daughter has kept very much out of my way. I am especially thankful to her for so many imbibitions of the " Spiritus Princetoniensis," that I am still — and I hope for- SENECA EGBERT ever — under its influence. As you will see by the accompa- nying sheet, I have been associated with college students every year but one since I entered Princeton with you in 1880, and feel that this has had much to do with my optimism. " Each year now I have almost four hundred medical stu- dents under my deanship, and lecture to considerably more 57 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON than half of them. You may be sure that I find plenty of problems and emergencies that call for decision ; but few men could have more congenial work than I find it. '* One of my ' grads' — Dr. Carnochan — did much to keep the foot-ball team in good condition this fall, and we have occasionally others coming from Princeton that help me to infuse something of that aforementioned * spirit ' into the rest of the mass. *' What more can I say ? If a man is only as old as he feels, then no man of 1884 is younger. However, please don't call as a witness of this my perennial freshness. I do trust that most of the fellows have had as much of success as I, and that they have been able to gather in more of Uncle Sam's dollars. Dame Fortune could have treated me better in that respect, though that is what everyone says of his own luck. I think I have grown somewhat younger since graduation. The social pleasure which I most enjoy, is attending Prince- ton Reunions, and seeing Princeton lick Yale. " I certainly hope and expect to be at the Reunion next June, so keep m.e posted." Egbert is an Independent Democrat and a member of the following clubs : Kappa Psi Fraternity, American Medical Association, Pennsylvania State Medical Society, Philadelphia County Medical Society, Philadelphia Medical Club, Amer- ican Public Health Association, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, Associate Member of Princeton Club of Philadelphia. He says : " His fondest ambition is to be Dean of a Prince- ton Medical School, or to have Woodrow Wilson's place when he doesn't want it any longer." 58 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON WILLIAM ERDMAN, A.B., A.M., LL.B., LAWYER, 141 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. Here is a quiet, silent man, who just '* saws wood and says nuffin." He studied law at Columbia, New York, and took his degree of LL.B. He entered into an association for the practice of the law in New York City with Job Hedges, and they have been together ever since. That he has been successful and has made for himself a place at the bar in New York City, we know by our own ob- servation. Rest assured you would never have learned that from Erdman. We know, too, that he has a fondness for the sea, and is the owner of a trim little yacht on which he spends most of his leisure time when he can dodge his clients and get away. DR. ALEXANDER B. ERNST. Poor "Alec" died in Cincinnati shortly after our Quin- quennial Reunion. After leaving college he studied medicine, spending one year with a preceptor, and then entering the Ohio Medical College, from which he graduated in 1888, and accepted a position as one of the resident physicians in the " Good Samaritan Hospital," Cincinnati, Ohio. His term of ser- vice there expired in March, 1889, and he started out for himself as Dr. Alexander B. Ernst, No. 149 Broadway, Cincinnati, Ohio. Thereafter he was appointed District Physician. He only lived a short while to continue his profession. 59 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON GEORGE ROSS ESHLEMAN GEORGE ROSS ESHLEMAN, A.M., LAWYER,. NO. 48 NORTH DUKE STREET, LANCASTER, PA. Lawyer and editor of law papers, Eshleman claims as an accomplishment " ability to pay his debts." A good one in- deed. His greatest personal achievement since graduation he declares to have been matrimony. On June i, 1893, ^^ married at Lancaster, Pa., Elizabeth Spencer, daughter of S. S. and Emeline Spencer. He is a member of the Hershel Lodge, No. 123, L O. O. F. ; also Lancaster Lodge No. 134 P. P. O. E. ; Hamilton Club of Lancaster ; Lancaster County Club ; Young Republican Club of Lancaster, and the Y. M. C. A. Eshleman studied law in his father's office at Lan- 60 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON caster, and was admitted to the bar in September of 1886. We know of him as a busy and successful man, although he claims to *' have acquired a disposition to abide on easv street." As to achievements, he says he " has acquired a few dol- lars and some sense." GEORGE E. ETTER, REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE, 213 WALNUT STREET, HARRISBURG, PENN. Etter is claimed by 1885 as a member of their class. While we do not give him up, we must admit that the col- lege authorities decide against us, and accredit Etter to 1885. Notwithstanding his alienation from us, he has grown portlv and prosperous. His genial and ample presence pro- claims " all is well." He was married in Philadelphia, March 9, 1894, to Lucy S. McGonigal. He has the following children : Benjamin Franklin Etter, Jr., December 17, 1894; Katharine Etter, May 19, 1896; Eleanor Lindsay Etter, August 16, 1898. He has taken some part in politics. He was a candidate for School Director for the Fourth Ward, Harrisburg, in Febru- ary, 1889, and defeated by good majority, his opponent, who had been in the School Board for eighteen years. He has been Treasurer of a number of organizations for several years, and has been Secretary of the Harrisburg Alumni Association for some time. It does beat all the way these Harrisburg boys — Boyd, Etter and the rest — progress and wax prosperous. 61 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Rev. CHARLES A. EVANS, A.B., A.M., M.D., JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY. After his university course Evans studied theology in the Northwestern Theological Seminary of Chicago, coaching CHARLES A. EVANS the "St. Jo." four-oared crew in the summer to good effect, and keeping in touch with college studies. His first pastorate was at Holly, Mich., where he was ordained and installed in 1886. He was called to the Sixth Presbyterian Church of In- dianapolis in October, 1888; to the Calvary Presbyterian 62 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Church of Rochester, N. Y., in October, 1892; and since October, 1897, has been '* pleasantly located on the Pali- sades, opposite New York city, as pastor of the First Presby- terian Church of West Hoboken, N. J." He was married on May 13, 1886, at Rahway, N. J., to Miss Lamberdine Louise Borgmeyer, who died on July 5, 1899. Louis Alexander Evans was born April 12, 1890, and is *'now nearly fourteen years of age," and his father writes: " He is my best friend, dearest chum and severest critic. My greatest pleasure and ambition centres in my boy. " Louis is at present a student at the Montclair Military Academy. I expect to enter him at Princeton in about four years as a candidate for foot-ball and other scholastic honors." As an author, Evans has published lectures and essays for the most part, with magazine articles from time to time — *' In the Shadow of the Rock," 1893 ' "The Church as a Promoter of Good Government," 1896; "James Russell Lowell, Diplomat, Poet, Patriot," 1896; "Lowell's Place in English Literature," 1896; " The Yosemite and the Yel- lowstone," 1903. These are among his contributions to re- cent literature. He writes : " Your array of questions bewilders me — ' de- grees, titles, offices, honors.' Every man should honor old '84 by winning them ; yet, my quest has apparently been in another direction, for none of them worth mentioning have loomed up within my horizon. "It is a satisfaction, however, that many other '84 men have won them in abundance, in church and state, in law and medicine, and scientific pursuits. 63 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON *' As to achievements, Stanley White's latest has put us all in the shade. " In all the years, I have never been separated in spirit from dear old Nassau. Whatever honors or distinction may come in this direction will be largely due to the training of Alma Mater. Count me in for '84's reunion." Evans is a member of Princeton Club of New York City, Gamma Sigma Society of Jersey City, Kappa Sigma Alumni Chapter of New York, Society of the Genesee, New York. Dr. ALEXANDER G. FELL, B.S., M.D., 317 SOUTH RIVER STREET, WILKES-BARRE, PA. *' Dr. Fell is a fine fellow, a physician of standing, and was quite active in politics some time ago. A brand-new baby, the first in his family, arrived a short time ago, which may explain his failure to answer." This is the report given by a Wilkes-Barre man when no response from Fell had come to headquarters. When the brand-new baby could allow him time. Fell answered for himself. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania Med- ical School on May 2, 1887, having been elected presi- dent of the class of '87, and received an appointment to Blockly Hospital, in Philadelphia, and to the Wilkes-Barre City Hospital. *' In our section of the country," he writes, "hospital work is generally on the surgical side, and Wilkes-Barre is located so far from any of the great medical centres that one must be prepared to do anything from an amputation of the 64 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON first joint of a finger to any of the organs of the abdomen. To be candid, I have enjoyed and still enjoy my work. " I have been thrown into politics somewhat, and have been initiated to the various degrees, and know how to take my medicine without making a bad face. ALEXANDER G. FELL " I see my classmates but seldom, as I do not believe that any live within a radius of a hundred miles from me, but I watch the newspapers, and I felt overjoved when I noticed that Jack Kennedy escaped from a wreck without serious in- jury. "A little over two years ago I was married. I can't say 65 THE CLASS OF IOO4, PRINCETON that marriage is a failure, but, to the contrary, a great success. On the 22nd of January, 1904, we were blessed with a little daughter, and now I believe that I shall be forced to surren- der to another dictator." Fell was married on November 14, 1901, in Scranton, Pa., to Miss Rena M. Howe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas B. Howe, and his daughter's name is Elizabeth Cope- land Fell. Fell was elected to staff of Wilkes-Barre City Hospital in 1890, president Luzerne County Medical Society in 1901, chairman Luzerne County Republican Committee in 1901.

STANLEY FERGUSON, LL.B., LAWYER, S. W. CORNER 4TH AND MAINE STS., CINCINNATI, OHIO. Leaving college, Ferguson engaged in the cotton factoring and commission business ; later, in manufacturing of patented articles. He entered the law office of his father, E. A. Ferguson, of Cincinnati, and was graduated from the Cincinnati Law School in the class of '86. He is now practicing law under the firm name of E. A. Ferguson. He is also secretary and auditor of the Cincinnati Southern Railway. He married Miss Mattie A. Lever, of Loveland, Ohio, on October 12, 1887. Frank Miller, Alexander Ernst, E. S. Leavitt, of '84, and Joe Baldwin, '83, were at the wedding. 66 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Two daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson — Alex- ina, who is now fifteen years old, and Helen, who died in 1892. Mrs. Ferguson died August lo, 1896, and Ferguson is still a widower. He is interested in politics, and has been delegate to Dem- STANLEY FERGUSON ocratic Municipal, County and State Conventions ; is also a director of Youne Men's Democratic Club of Cincinnati. The other societies of which he is a member are : Knights of Pythias and University Club of Cincinnati.

Left Princeton in '82, and attended the University of Maryland and studied medicine. He graduated in '84 as M.D., and has been practicing medicine ever since. He has lived at Church Hill, Md., all his life until last year, when he moved to Centreville. On the 8th of January, 1885, he was married to Miss Margaret Paterson Groson, the daughter of Judge Groson. He has had four children, only one of whom is now living, a son, Richard Harrison Finley. His last letter says that he " is doing well," and trusts all of his classmates are doing the same. He has been Health Officer of the County, and is a very busy man. Dr. J. M. T. FINNEY, A.B., A.M., PHYSICIAN, 1300 EUTAW PLACE, BALTIMORE, MD. "Your circular letter asking for information concerning myself received. I should have answered it earlier, but, as usual, my time has been so much taken up with other things that I haven't gotten to it. In reply I would say that nothing very startling has hap- pened to me since graduation. I have led a very busy and active life, and, therefore, a very happy one. I have accom- 68 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON plished nothing very startling, but I hope I have been of some service in alleviating the sufferings of those poor unfor- tunates who have fallen into my hands. My home address is 1300 Eutaw Place, Baltimore, Ma- ryland. I was married to Miss Mary Elizabeth Gross of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on April 20, 1892, and, I am glad to say, I have three of the finest boys you ever saw. All of them are in training for places on the eleven already, and the position of tackle, half back and kicking full back are already mortgaged. They are three of the most enthusiastic Princeton men I have ever come across. You should hear them talk now of what they are going to do to Yale. After graduating from Princeton, I entered the Harvard Medical School, was knocked out one year by typhoid fever, and, after graduation, served as house surgeon in the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, Boston, which position I resigned to come to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, when it opened in 1889, and have been at work here ever since. My official title is Associate Professor of Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, and Surgeon to out-patients of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, I am also surgeon to several of the other hospitals in Baltimore, all of which, together with my pri- vate work, keeps my nose to the grindstone constantly. I have never been honored with any other position, po- litical or otherwise, except that I rejoice in the title of Brigade Surgeon to the Maryland National Guard, on the staff of a good and loyal Princeton man. General Lawrason Riggs, '83. We did not see service in Cuba, but we were in camp for some weeks, expecting to get there. This position entitles me to the rank of '' Colonel" and also allows me to appear 69 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Upon State occasions with all sorts of gold lace and brass but- tons on my clothes. I have been guilty of writing to the medical journals a number of articles upon surgical subjects, a complete list of which would be too long lor the space allotted me, and, I fear, would not interest any but the medical portion of my classmates. I belong to a number of the social clubs of Baltimore, the Maryland, University, and the Country Club, etc., where I am always glad to put up the name of any '84 man who comes to Baltimore. You ask what is my fondest ambition ? I hardly know, unless it is to live up to the expectations of my friends, and be ot some service in my profession. So far as my personal achievements are concerned, I hardly feel that I can glory in any of them. The consciousness of having done one's best, under whatever circumstances one may be placed, affords perhaps the greatest satisfaction. I trust that I have changed for the better in many ways since graduation. Perhaps the most hopeful indication of improvement is in being more charitably disposed toward an- other's faults. What accomplishments have I ? I am not conscious of any that merit special mention. So far as my habits, good or bad, are concerned, I feel that Mrs. Finney would be a most competent witness. I will ask her to make a note on this subject. My favorite leisure occupation is going fishing with my boys. The social pleasure that I most enjoy is a quiet talk with a Princeton man. 70 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON You ask what is my ideal of perfect contentment ? I would say that the life I am at present leading is as near that as any that I can frame. I have not had the opportunity to see many '84 men. I have had the pleasure of seeing more frequently, perhaps, than any other Johnson Poe, *'Buck" Blackwell, and George Harper. Jack Daves I see only occasionally. All of our class- mates are giving good accounts of themselves in this part of the country. I shall take great pleasure in getting back to our Twen- tieth Reunion next year, and shall hope to see a large num- ber back." How like the modest, unassuming " J'ai " the above letter is. Who would suspect that he was one of the most famous and successful surgeons of the South. We understand also that he and his wife have done a great amount of good and charitable work, and have from their own resources practically maintained a small hospital for the worthy poor. We have tried in vain to get details of this and his many other good deeds. JOSEPH J. FORGEY. PHARMACIST, 938 WEST 43RD STREET, WEST PHILADELPHIA, PA. We remember Forgey as a hustling chap, who used to room in North Edwards, but who only stayed freshman year. Rooming in North Edwards was not, we understand, the rea- son for his leaving College, though some of the boys might think it sufficient. He is married and has one child, Lucile, aged lo years. 71 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON REV. JOHN N. FORMAN, A.B., A.M., MISSIONARY, ETAH, UNITED PROVINCES, INDIA. John Newton Fornian was born in India, his father be- ing a missionary there at the time of his birth. He was fa- miliar with the Hindustani language in his childhood, and used it until his fourteenth year, a circumstance which con- tributed greatly to his value as a missionary to India, the call- ing he very naturally chose for himself. He spent two years in Princeton Theological Seminary to prepare for the ministry, and one year with Mr. Robert P. Wilder in carrying forward the Student Volunteer Movement among college men in America. (Mr. Robert Speer says that everywhere the pervasive influence of his strong personality left a powerful impression upon the colleges visited by him.) He spoke in behalf of this movement in some of the col- leges of England, Scotland, and Ireland on his way out to In- dia, in 1888. His early knowledge of the language made it possible for him to begin work immediately, although he kept up a constant study of both Hindustani and Hindi for several years, thus gaining what he calls *'some freedom of use of the Hindustani language " (by others an " exceptional command of the vernacular" ). He tried the experiment of giving up his rooms in the Mission Compound and living amongst the people, renting a small room in one city and then in another. His object was to get in as close contact as possible with the people. It meant much hardship and he found it did not give him any advantage in dealing with the people, but rather made them suspicious of his motives ; so after a thorough trial he gave it 72 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON up, but the experience thus gained has been of value to him ever since. Most ot his time in India has been given to preaching throughout hundreds of towns and villages, in the great melas or religious gatherings for bathing in the sacred rivers, at noted shrines where at set times crowds of Hindoo assemble and also in the bazars of Ferrukhabad. A day in Forman's work is somewhat as follows : At 7.30 A. M. he starts out preaching, which he continues until 1 1.30. In the afternoon he preaches in the bazar, and in the even- ing he conducts services in some village near by. In this way many hundreds come within his influence in a single day. Forman was the college missionary for some time. He was stationed first at Fategahr. In 1902 he came to America on a furlough, bringing his only child back here to be edu- cated. Since his return to India he has been in charge of the work in Etah, where he and his wife have been the only Foreign Missionaries in. a district of 850,000 people. This means work in 75 villages, an oversight of about 25 schools with I 5 teachers and 5 preachers on his staff. Among these schools is a boys' Boarding School, having about 60 boys, a training school for teachers, and a small boarding school for girls. In October Mr. Forman is to leave this field to become Professor of Theology in the Theological Seminary at Saha- ranpur. On September 30, 1890, Forman was married to Miss E. M. Foote, of Lowville, New York. They were mar- ried at Landow in the Himalaya Mountains. They have one daughter, Florence Dorothea, now eleven years old. In answer to the class list of questions, he says : *' My favorite leisure 73 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON occupation is reading papers; our social lite is largely made up of limitations. I envy those of you who can join in the great reunion planned for '84. I do hope you can get a large crowd and have a grand time. One of my ideals of perfect contentment is to meet '84 men in June, 1904; but I find this impossible, because of continents and oceans in the way, whether I go by the Western or Far-Eastern route. So please excuse absence and accept my hearty well wishes." When recently in this country arranging for the educa- tion of his daughter, Forman favored us with a call. It was a delight to us to grasp his hand and get his hearty greeting. We could get for him but little about his part in the won- derful work in India. The Presbyterian board of Foreign Mis- sions has issued a pamphlet about it entitled "The Great Awakening at Etah." If you want to feel proud of a class- mate, drop in and ask the Board what they think and know about Forman, and what he has accomplished. GILBERT RODMAN FOX, LAWYER, 320 DE KALB STREET, NORRISTOWN, PA., AND 8oO PENN SQUARE BUILDING, OPPOSITE CITY HALL, PHILADELPHIA, PA. In 1885 Fox had been admitted to the bar and was prac- ticing law in Norristown, Pa., under the firm name of G. R. Fox & Son. He is at present one of the law firm of Lar- zelere, Gibson & Fox, with offices in Norristown and Phila- delphia. He was married Mav 11, 1886, at Norristown, to Miss Rebekah Coleman, daughter of George F. and Josephine A. Coleman. Several classmates were present at the wedding. 74 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON He has live children — George Coleman, Josephine, Mildred, John Wister, Catherine. He confesses that one of the two commonest ills of life has overtaken him, i, e., baldness ; but the " too, too-soUd GILBERT RODMAN FOX flesh " of which some others make mention is not compatible with " cricket," " dancing," '* horseback riding and shoot- ing," which are his leisure occupations and social pleasures. He is a member of the following clubs : Union Cricket Club, Athletic Club Schuylkill Navy, Princeton Clubs of Philadelphia and New York, Art Club of Philadelphia, and local clubs. 75 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON GEOP.GE B. FRENCH, UNIVERSITY CLUB, NEW YORK CITY. We have not succeeded in getting any response from French, and so we do not state these facts regarding him authoritatively, After skirmishing around, inquiring here and there, we have been told that in 1887 he was married to Miss Lesher, daughter of Arthur L. Lesher. We believe he has one daughter. If any of our author members wants data for a good, breezy, stirring story of adventure, he need not draw on his imagination. If he can only have a heart-to-heart talk with French and get him to unbosom himself of the facts of his career, material plenty, better than any fiction, will be found. French sought to find his fortune among the mines of Colorado. He touched about every side of that business, in- cluding the bottom and the top. He concluded not to pursue it further, and went into railroading. For a while he was with the St. Paul Road, and later was with the Santa Fe. After a while he turned up in Chicago and tried life as a wheat broker. He showed great skill in this business, and soon drew about himself some very influential customers. Among these was Joseph Leiter. They got their heads to- gether and devised and engineered the great corner in wheat, French acting as Leiter's broker. Of the details of that tre- mendous enterprise all the world knows — of the magnificent fortune which was made and lost again. Later French drifted to Boston, and became the resi- dent director of the Bankers' Electric Protective Company. 76 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON This position he held until recently at a very comfortable compensation. On November 25, 1897, ^^^ following appeared in one of the daily papers : *' George B. French is a prominent wheat merchant in Chicago. During the recent rise in the wheat market he represented the heaviest dealers on the Board and practically controlled the situation for several days." HENRY B. GAYLEY, A.B., A.M., LL.B., LAWYER. 51 WALL STREET, NEW YORK CITY. Having graduated from Columbia Law School in 1886, Gayley took up the practice of the law in New York City, doing a general practice. A few years later he joined with Joseph D. Baucus, '86, and Matthew C. Fleming, '86, and made up the firm of Gayley, Baucus & Fleming. A year or two later Baucus withdrew, and Gayley & Fleming still continue under that name at the above address. In April, 1900, at St. Thomas's Church, New York Citv, he was naarried to Miss Estelle Cauda, daughter of Charles J. Canda, of New York City. Tod and several other '84 men assisted at the ceremony. They have two children, Henry Clifford, aged 3 years, and Madeleine Estelle, aged i}^ years. He is a member of the Princeton Club of New York, of the Ardsley Club, and of the St= Andrew's Society. He is very fond of golf, and if you follow the records of the matches 77 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON at Ardsley, you will generally find Gayley's name near the top of the list of winners. He is faithful, too, in his allegiance to 84, and if there is any function in which our class figures, Gayley is generally on hand. GEORGE McCLELLAN H. GOOD, M.E., ENGINEER OF MINES. OSCEOLA MILLS, PA. Good left college in Freshman year, and later went to Columbia University, New York, to study mining engineer- ing. He graduated from the Columbia School of Mines in 1886 with the degree of Mining Engineer. This profession he has followed ever since. He is now located at Osceola Mills, Pa. He was married to Alice M. Bubb, and they have two children, Sarah Burrows, born August 17, 1898, and Eliza- beth Houtz, born April 24, 1904. He is a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity, and of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. WILLIAM C. GOODELL, M.D., PHYSICIAN, I418 SPRUCE STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Left college in Freshman year. Returning to Philadel- phia he loafed a year and then entered the University of Pennsylvania Medical Department, and graduated in 1885. We are told he is a Gynecologist of high reputation — one of the best authorities on his subject in Pennsylvania. He has held the following positions : Gynecologist to University of 78 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Pennsylvania, Surgeon in University of Pennsylvania Dispen- sary, Obstetrician to Philadelphia Maternity Hospital, Gyne- cologist to St. Clements Hospital and Dispensary. ALVAH RUCKMAN GRIER, MOUNTAIN SEMINARY, BIRMINGHAM, PA. We had almost lost track of Grier. Finally a notice reached him. Then he wrote : " When a fellow is advertised for, it's about time to make himself known — at least, that he is in the land of the living and has not disgraced Old Nassau and his classmates of 1884. My college career was such a short one, as I left for the Christmas vacation, and did not return for some years. Thus I lost track of the fellows even before I knew them all. Did not return to reunion as I felt I would be a stranger if not in a strange land. " I have determined to go back in 1904, and see if I can- not get in touch with the boys of 1884. I'm getting my boy ready to go about 1920, so must start in to learn new tricks so I can keep up with the chap. I will be a sort of an * old one ' by that time, but just now as young as I was twenty years ago." It's necessary to begin at this date and trace Grier's biog- raphy as previous records have been scanty. These are the ascertained steps in his career : Six months law, lumber two years, railroad two years, school manager twelve years, two years secretary and treasurer of an electric railroad, and pres- ident of the Tyrone Electric Light Co, He has been coun- cilman, and anti-machine state delegate, and made " good 79 THE CLASS OF I 884 PRINCETON roads " speeches. His present address is Mountain Seminary, Birmingham, Penn. This is the college preparatory school for girls of which Grier is at present manager as well as be- ing President of the Tyrone Home Electric Light and Steam ALVAH RUCKMAX GRIER Heating Company. On October 16, 1900, he was married to Miss Mary Virginia Campbell at Altoona, Pa. Colonel Reynolds, of 1884, was at the wedding. Alvah Ruckman Grier, Jr., was born in 1902, and the achievement of the past twenty years which has given Grier the most satisfaction he declares ''to be his boy." Grier says that he is "not a joiner," but is a member of the Altoona Golf Club and Ty- 80 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON rone Club just the same. He confesses to the rare accom- plishment of "looking pleasant when I feel bad." His favo- rite leisure occupations make him akin to the "great Izaak," fishing for bass and horse-back riding, and his ideals are *' enough money to travel and to keep the best horses in the county when at home." J. FRANKLIN GULICK, A.B., PRESENT OCCUPATION AND ADDRESS UNKNOWN. Frank Gulick has not been heard from for some time. For a while he was engaged in farming near Kingston, N. J. Later he took a farm near Lawrenceville, N. J. A letter ad- dressed to one M. H. Gulick at Lawrenceville, brought the response : " J. Franklin Gulick is in New York City. I do not know where. A letter addressed to him, General Delivery Post Office, New York City, may reach him." But it did not. It came back unclaimed. J. HENRY GULICK, A.B., REAL ESTATE, I505 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, WASHINGTON, D. C. Gulick was actively connected with Princeton University for a year after graduation as he took a Post Graduate course in Chemistry under Professor Cornwall with Comparative Anatomy and Histology as by-plays. He continued, how- ever, to be in touch with Princeton Hfe incidentally for some three years longer, for he owned a farm two miles out of town, where he kept bachelor's hall until the fall of 1888. Finding that farming was more profitable to one's health THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON than one's purse, he moved to Washington, D. C, where he went into the real estate business. He was married in the spring of i 896, and has two children, both girls, WILLIAM H. GULICK, B.S., IRON AND STEEL CONTRACTOR. WILLIAM H. GULICK & CO., PHOENIX- VILLE, PA. The ''short and simple annals" of W. H. Gulick are as follows: Heard of in 1887 as engaged in Phoenixville Iron Works and doing well. These are the steps in his business career : Clerk, Shop Foreman, Shop Inspector, W. H. Gu- lick & Co. He was married on February 3, 1893, to Miss C. Eliza- beth Dismouth, and has one daughter, Helen. He disclaims all titles, honors, public offices, habits, ideals, ambitions and clubs. We are sorry not to have more to record of Gulick, be- cause we have heard in a general way that he has done very well on both the technical and financial side of his business. We have heard of occasional large contracts being executed with ability. All appeals, however, for definite information to him, to his brother and to his father, have brought no re- sponse, so we can only speak in general terms as above. CHARLES S. HAMILTON, A.B., A.M., M.D., PHYSICIAN, NORTH FOURTH STREET, COLUMBUS, OHIO Hamilton studied medicine in his father's office, and in Columbus Medical College of Columbus, Ohio, graduating in 1887. 82 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Please give a Complete Record since Graduation. 1.

Job Hedges, who is probably one of the most re- markable men of the nineteenth century. He carries the record in New York of a politician without a party, and of a man who has held more offices in a given period than any inan before or since his time. He illustrates the idea of Gil- bert and Sullivan in * The Mikado,' of one man being able to hold a number of offices at the same time to the entire sat- isfaction of not only himself, but of the people generally. This is the most remarkable thing about him." As soon as Job began to practice law he engaged actively in political work of one kind or another. He frequented the primaries from the start, and soon became known as a very useful and earnest worker, with a ''gift of gab " that won au- diences as easily on the East side as in the aristocratic sections of the city. He was always prominent in the cause of good citizenship, and through several campaigns he fought hard with the forces organized to defeat Tammany Hall. It was only natural, therefore, when, as a result of the great Reform movement in 1894, the Tammany Tiger was routed, and Mayor Strong was elected on an independent ticket, Job should come in for some share in Reform administration. In 1894 he was appointed secretary to Mayor Strong, and he remained in that office until 1897, when he resigned to accept a ten- year place as City Magistrate. Job refused to accept this place when it was first offered to him. The Magistrate's law prevents anyone holding a Magistrate's place from practising law or following any other business or profession, and Job had a large and growing practice which he was unwilling to surrender. He was, however, prevailed upon by Mayor Strong, 107 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON and served as Magistrate for about a year. His first appear- ance on the bench was recognized by elaborate floral decora- tions from his classmates in New York. Thereafter he was appointed, Deputy Attorney General for New York by Attor- ney General Davies. When the law establishing the Metro- politan Elections Districts was passed, Job Hedges was called on by the party to look out for the interests of the State. He served as prosecutor in many of the most important cases that were tried under the primary and general election laws, and secured many convictions. Job is, as all his classmates know, a man of sociable instincts, and in his political life he has made many friends, and won for himself a reputation as a most genial and lovable companion. His name has appeared within the last three or four years very frequently as one of a group of entertaining speakers on public occasions. As an after-din- ner speaker he is one of the few rivals of the famous Simeon Ford, and no better reading can be found in the morning pa- pers than an account of some public dinner at which these two genial antagonists have had a bout of wit. Job, as every Princeton man knows, has alway kept in close touch with his Alma Mater, and has been a prominent and devoted worker for Princeton's best interests. It will be noted in reading his report, printed herewith, that he regards the invitation to re- spond to the dinner to President Wilson on December 8, 1902, as the best compliment he has received. WILLIAM TOD HELMUTH, PHYSICIAN, 26 EAST 6 2D STREET, NEW YORK CITY, N. Y. Helmuth left Princeton in Freshman year in order to study medicine. He graduated at New York Homeopathic THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON College in 1887 and afterwards studied surgery abroad in London, Vienna, Paris, and Berlin. He was appointed sur- geon to the Laura Franklin Hospital in 1889; to the Flower Hospital in 1890; to the Hahnemann Hospital in 1903; con- sulting surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital in Passaic, N. J., in 1900, and consulting surgeon to Jamaica Hospital, L. L, 1902. Dr. Helmuth was appointed lecturer on Surgery in the New York Homeopathic College in 1 890, professor of or- thopaedic surgery in 1898, and professor of surgery and head of chair in 1903; he was also vice-president of County Medical Society of New York in 1903. The head of the chair of surgery in New York Homeopathic Medical College is the achievement of the past twenty years which has given him the most satisfaction, but his fondest ambition is still "a degree from Princeton." He was married April 17, 1895, ^t St- Agnes' Church, New York City, to Miss Belle Lochman, the daughter of General John Lochman. T)r. Paul Kimball was at the wedding. He has two sons, William Tod Helmuth, Jr., aged seven, and John T. Helmuth, aged five. He says of himself that he has changed in every way since graduation ; has written a few monographs ; has no ac- complishments to speak of, and that his greatest social pleas- ure is ** football when Princeton wins." Helmuth belongs to the following clubs : New York Medical Club, Chirurgical Club, Unanimous Club, New York Athletic Club, New York Homeopathic State Society, New York County Society, American Institute. Among the medical profession of the Homeopathic school Helmuth is reputed to be one of the best surgeons in New York City. 109 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON GRIER HERSH, A.B., BANKER, YORK, PA. Grier says the circular for information gave- him the shudders, it was so Hke an examination paper. " I faintly re- call the fact that many years ago I was able to tell more than I knew, bv answering ten questions printed on a slip like yours. My percentage on questions covering three months was usually titty. How can a man be expected to tell the events of twenty years by answering ten questions, and receive a percentage of over ten?" We met a man recently who lived near York. We asked it he knew Hersh, or about him. He said : '* I guess we do. You can't get anywhere near York unless you pay trib- ute to Hersh. He either owns the whole or a large interest in everything around there." All Hersh says is, *' The stock- holders since 1895 have annually elected me President of the York National Bank." His status in the financial world may be judged from the fact that he is or has been the President of the Pennsylvania Bankers' Association. Hersh confesses to being an author. Of his writings he says : ** Simply a note or two protested, several historical sketches, a few articles on financial matters. I have never written a novel." Hersh was married in December, 1897, ^^ J'^^i^ L. Mayer. They have two children, Helen, aged i 2, and Mar- garet Grier, aged 7. They have a beautiful home at York, one of the most beautiful, we are told, in that part of the state. The old love of sports is still with him. Quite often we see his name in the papers among the winners of golf trophies at Lakewood, Atlantic City and elsewhere. no THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON His love of the class and the college still runs high. We don't think he has missed one of our reunions. CARL I. HEYDRICK, A.B., LAWYER. EXCHANGE BANK BUILDING, FRANKLIN, PA. ** Your duns for my class letter always find me ' broke ' for time and news worth telling. The present is never a conve- nient season for me to pay anything I owe, except attention to a pretty girl. " In your list of men not heard from, I see Moore, of Georgetown, Del. I heard last week that he is there doing a good law business. Draw on him and all other delinquents with registered letters, and make them answer. " Lots of our boys have accomplished something. If one is too modest to tell of himself, let someone else tell it. There ought to be someone from near Cincinnati to tell that Jelke has gotten to be a judge, and is as big a man in ' Old Porkopolis ' as Hedges is in 'Gotham.' Also that Jack Har- lan, in Chicago, is as big a man as * Mr. Dooley ' or Carter Harrison, and so on through the list. " You can't get the boys to brag about themselves. You must coax them to tell about each other. I don't believe any of us is either proud, ashamed, or jealous ; but if we have been on San Juan Hill, or in jail, we are none of us going to tell it of himself. So you can tell the boys that the only way to learn about each other is to attend the Alumni meetings, and the class banquet. I am going to attend the next if I have to walk. Ill THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON '* If the rest feel as I do, we will have a glorious reunion of Princeton '84 at commencement this year. " We ought all of us to be at our best now. Let us all get together and see how good that is. *' Yours for '84 forever, *' Carl I. Heydrick." Apropos of Heydrick's suggestion we are glad to have found some one to tell about him. He represents the Standard Oil interests in and about Franklin, and is a shrewd and successful "oil" lawyer and operator. He can't play pool and billiards as well as he could in college, but he can show you a few points on petroleum. He is married, but has no children. FRANK S. HICKS, GENERAL INSURANCE, 1 27 WEST SECOND STREET, LOS ANGELES, CAL. Frank Hicks has been in the insurance business ever since graduation, and is now to be found at the above address in Los Angeles. The name of his firm is Childs, Hicks & Montgomery, and they represent in their business a number of the most prominent insurance companies, including the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, and the Fi- delity and Casualty Company of New York. Hicks was mar- ried on April 29, 1900, to Caroline M. Childs, daughter of Osro and Emmeline Childs. No classmates were at the wed- ding. He has one child, io}4 years old. He has received no titles or honors, and none of his writings have been pub- 112 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON lished. He is unable to give the various steps in his business career through lack of space. " Took too many steps " is his comment. Hicks, as all his classmates know, is of a sociable disposition, and it is no matter of surprise that he is a mem- ber of a number of clubs, societies, and organizations. He gives, however, in his communication to the class, very little definite information about such matters, telling us simply that there are a number of them, and that there is insufficient space to list them. His fondest ambition is to stand well with his friends and with the New York banker. He says that he has changed in various ways since graduation, but does not par- ticularize. The editors, however, feel confident that what- ever these changes have been, they have not affected Frank's cheerful and sunny disposition. The same old Frank is ap- parent in the '' chipper " tone of his responses to our inquir- ies. He has, he says, no good habits, and as for bad habits — " witness declines to answer." His favorite leisure occupations are hunting and golf, and he enjoys all social pleasures, while his ideal of perfect contentment is ** to be let alone." This last is, no doubt, intended for the Editors of the Record, who have been hot on his track for information. That it is *' not good for man to be alone," Frank appreciates surely as much as the majority of mankind, for like them he has entered into the blissful state of wedlock. WILLIAM C. HILL, A.B., CONSTRUCTOR, 2/ E. 22D STREET, NEW YORK CITY. Hill has sent us the following letter : *' I have before me your circular letter in which you ask, in your own seductive and placid manner, the story of my 113 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON life. Few men, I am sure, will decline to unbosom them- selves after receiving such a sweet-spirited invitation. In vain will the men of 1884 seek to hide themselves behind such barriers as twenty years of contact with the world have WILLIAM C. HILL erected about their lives. Even my humor factory, which has long since been closed for repairs, has now been opened up and any serious consequences that result therefrom, I charge you now, will be laid at your door. Do not judge me nor permit others to do the same by reason of any im- pressions that my photograph may convey. I am much bet- ter looking than you think, and the photograph in question 11^ THE CLASS OF 1554, PRINCETON does not reveal any of the kindly light with which my face is wont to be illumined. *' My present business address is 27 East Twenty-second Street. The name of my firm is Sturgis & Hill Co. My busi- ness partner is the present Fire Commissioner. Our business is construction. My residence is 323 West Eighty-seventh Street, New York City. I was married on the 22d of October, 1885. The name of my wife is Martha Hill. I commend your requirement that marrying classmates shall furnish evidence of the tact. Ned Bradley was present at my wedding. There is additional evidence in the office of the County Clerk. My only child, whose name is Dudleigh, was born December 15th, 1886, and I might add that my only scholastic honoris being the father of this Class boy. My business career has not been one of steps, jumps rather. The subject of degrees, titles or honors is, indeed, very delicate, and I touch upon it with all caution. I am pleased to be addressed as plain Mr. without any qualifying adjectives. In South America, where I have some interests, I have been alluded to in the press as the " Pirate of the Coast " and the " Hungry Gringo," and also the *' Grasping Yankee," but these Spanish-speaking peo- ple are given to extravagant terms in matters of this kind, and I assure you that such suggestions are by no means well founded. My business relations have invariably been con- ducted along the lines enjoined by the Golden Rule, and I disclaim anything of the character that such titles imply. Having been raised in a Christian family I have refused pub- lic office, although a long-suffering public has endeavored to thrust the same upon me from time to time. If I ever accept such an office it will be from motives of pure patriotism, and 115 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON for an eminent example of this spirit I refer to our classmate, Job Hedges. Military distinction has not fallen to my lot. The nearest approach to it, however, has been to stand on the sidewalk and watch Johnson Poe march by. It is a satis- DUDLEIGH HILL — CLASS EOY fying thought that the military greatness of the American nation is safe in the hands of such old war-dogs. My writ- ings have all been printed, not published. I insist upon keep- ing the product of my pen before a reading public despite the singular obtuseness of publishers. All my writings are part of one general theme, which I have thought best, from time 116 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON CLASS CUP to time, to contribute to the public press, namely, the ' Apologia pro Vita Sua.' The necessities of the case render my contributions along this line far superior to Car- dinal Newman's best efforts. Of the societies, clubs and organizations which have been honored with my member- ship, little need be said. I might remark, however, that I served two terms as treasurer of the Princeton Club of New York, and also that the Club is still in existence 117 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON and financially vigorous. The experience was unique ; all the complaints or evidences of dissatisfaction with the policy of the Club which 1,200 members could furnish were ad- dressed to the Treasurer. You may have noticed the mol- lifying manner which is my chief characteristic. I exercised this to such an extent during my term in office that it has been entirely eliminated from my nature forever more. If I ever undertake the work again, I will first secure as a private secretary the heavyweight champion pugilist and refer all complaints to him for settlement. I acted as treasurer with great profit to the club and to myself. *' My fondest ambition is, as ever, to pass my examina- tions. This is no joke. Those seasons of anxiety through which we passed three times a year as students are occur- ring daily or oftener in the lives of active men, and I question whether any of us feel that we have attained such positions of freedom from responsibility that we can regard examina- tions as a matter of the past. Our qualifications are on con- stant trial in every departinent of life, and I believe that they will never cease until the last chapter is written. " The greatest achievement of the past twenty years has been to contribute this letter to your collection. I have changed since graduation. I am older now and no longer smoke cigarettes. I have no accomplishments that need be mentioned in this letter, and, likewise, around the subject of habits, good or bad, I think it wise to draw a kindly veil. My favorite leisure occupation is riding in the surface cars of this city. I have no time for anything else outside of my business affairs. This also is no joke But I am able to combine, with such pleasure as I am able to derive, much 118 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRIxNCETON benefit of a physical character in the athletic exercise which necessarily results. Hanging on street-car straps is the best possible exercise for the arm muscles. Holding you own in the rush hours develops the muscles of the legs and body, and catching the car is most excellent for the wind. These thin2;s may seem trivial, but to me they are very important, and because of these things I maintain fine bodily health and strength. Social pleasures are endured, not enjoyed ; and by the same process of reasoning I may say that an afternoon reception or a progressive card party is about the limit. Your final query with regard to my ideal of perfect contentment is, of all the others, the m.ost difficult to answer without elab- oration of thought and diction. I have always regarded per- fect contentment as somewhat akin to an ignis fatuiis, for it is never attainable when I am ready to grasp it. Possibly the nearest approach is sleep, but that is somewhat marred by the knowledge of the awakening that is to follow. I cannot add anything of interest or benefit to this letter, and will close with the hope that all my classmates are able to regard the past twenty years as years of achievement and progress, and that their ideals of success and perfect content- ment may be realized to the fullest degree. " Very truly yours, ''William C. Hill." Dr. ANGIER B. HOBBS, A.B., A.M, M.D., MEDICAL BOARD OF NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE CO., 346 BROADWAY- NEW YORK CITY. " A long time ago I received a class communication, con- taining many questions, queer — and otherwise, such as : * What 119 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON is your loftiest ideal, and if you have none, what will it be ten years from now ? The time for the natural birth of this fund of information seemed so far in the future that I pushed the document to one side, resolving in due time to give it the certain categorical consideration which it seemed to demand. It is, apparently, lost, but perhaps it is just as well. " I graduated from the College of Physicians and Sur- geons in New York City in 1889, and afterwards was on the house staff of Roosevelt Hospital." By reference to the 1889 records it will be remembered that Hobbs graduated with distinction, taking the third Har- sen prize of $200 for proficiency in examination, and also re- ceived a Diploma of Examination Honors, together with an- other prize of $25. He did not enter into his medical studies immediately upon leaving Princeton, but taught in the High School in Washington, D. C, for a time, traveled in Germany and took a special course at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He was married on October 20, 1897, ^^ Miss Caroline M. Henderson, and about the same year he was obliged to go to California for his health. This disturbed the plans laid down for his life, but he became completely restored, and re- turned to New York, and is now on the Medical Board of the New York Life Insurance Co. He has one daughter, Caroline Angier Hobbs, 4^ years old, of whom he writes : *' She will certainly go to Prince- ton if the authorities ever look with favor upon co-education. At any rate she will champion the Orange and Black, and help the football toward the right goal." Dr. Hobbs expects soon to go abroad. 120 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Rev. CHARLES J. HOWELL, CLERGYMAN. LONGMONT, BOULDER CO., COLORADO. After graduation Howell studied for the ministry at Au- burn Theological Seminary. When he had completed his course there, he was called to the Presbyterian Church at Am- boy, near Syracuse, N. Y. After a term of several years there he went to the Presbyterian Church at La Grange, Ills. From there to the Pine Street Presbyterian Church, Harris- burg, Pa, , in association with the pastor of that church. Later he took charge of the work of Bethany Chapel. In February, 1 90 1, he received a call to the Central Presbyterian Church of Longmont, Colorado, where he still remains. He was married on January 17, 1889, at Auburn, N. Y., to Miss Cornelia M. Griggs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam- uel T. Griggs. Smith Ordway was present at his wedding. Howell has a boy now 8 years old, Charles J. Howell, }r., by name. The only honor he lays claim to is that of hav- ing prospered in his work at every place — an honor, by the way, that any man might be proud to claim. Replving to the question concerning printing or publishing of his writ- ing, Howell says : " I have occasionally and sporadically broken into print, and have had the distinction a few times of hav- ing my sermons printed." His fondest ambition is " to glor- ify God and enjoy him forever," and the personal achieve- ment that has given him most satisfaction is the building-up of one church edifice, and the prospect of the erection of an- other. The only way that he has changed since graduation is that he is twenty years older, but he adds, *' I am just as young as I used to be." His answer concerning habits is too good to paraphrase. 121 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON We must quote it in full : '* I have formed the habit of hard work, which I hope will grow. As for bad habits, I neither drink, smoke, gamble, chew, or vote the Democratic ticket." His favorite leisure occupation is reading, when he can CHARLE? ]. HijWJ;LL get a chance, and the social pleasures that he most enjoys are the comforts of home. This, too, is part of his ideal ot per- fect contentment, and he then adds : " There is no such con- dition as perfect contentment in this life. If there were, one would lapse into the dreamy tropical Utopia where all pro- gress would cease, and man would simply vegetate ; but the ideal by which perfect contentment can be ultimately reached. 122 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON is to have a high and noble aim of unselfish devotion to the right and for the good of others. In other words, altruism is the perfect ideal, and I am more and more convinced that it is realized only in the life surrender to Jesus Christ." REV. ROBERT. S. HUNTER, A.B., D.D., clergyman: PASTOR OF KENSINGTON PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, PHIL- ADELPHIA, PA. Rev. Robert Hunter's place in the class of '84 was an unique one. He had been seven years in the ministry and was mar- ried and had two children before he came to Princeton. His college feeling seemed to be no less strong than that of the other men, and his loyalty to '84 is noted. He wrote an enthusiastic account of the commencement of 1899, which was published in the Presbyterian Journal ot June 22 of that year. His son was then a student in Prince- ton, graduating in 1901. In this article Mr. Hunter says : " Every thoughtful ob- server must have been impressed with the fact that Prince- ton abides by her sublime traditions in all that appertains to fundamental educational principles, while, at the same time, she is modifying her methods of instruction and details of administration, to meet in an aggressive but wisely conserva- tive spirit the varied demands of the day. " Princeton spirit was never more in evidence, whether in services, speeches or in the vim with which the old songs were sung or the old cheer given." Another unique feature of Hunter's life has been the tact 123 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON that he has been the pastor of the Kensington Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia ever since he left Princeton. The church then numbered 400; to-day it numbers more than 850 with a Sunday school of iioo. It is now called The Union Tab- ernacle. Eleven years ago it moved farther up town, with the result of steady growth ever since. Hunter has held the following church positions : Permanent Clerk of the Presbytery of Philadelphia ; Stated Clerk of the Synod of Pennsylvania ; Member of the General Assembly's Board of Education ; Member of the Committee on Examinations and Credentials in the Presby- tery of Philadelphia ; Member of the Executive Committee on Evangelistic Work in same Presbytery, also member of the Committee of Presbytery in its relations to the Presby- terian Historical Society. He has represented his Presbytery four times in the Gen- eral Assembly and had the honor of serving as a Member ot the Executive Committee of the General Assembly's Com- mittee on the Twentieth Century Fund, during the three years of its existence. He is a regular correspondent of the " Presbyterian Ban- ner " of Pittsburg; "The Interior" of Chicago; "The Presbyterian Journal " of Philadelphia, and an occasional writer for other magazines. He has also compiled a successful book ot church music. The daughter of Mr. Hunter was a little girl going to school in Princeton when he was in the University and is as loyal to Princeton as her father and brother, although mar- ried early in 1904, to a Haverford College man, who is also a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School. 124 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Dr. RANDALL HUTCHINSON, A.B., A.M., M.D., PHYSICIAN, 324 BRADBURY BUILDING, CORNER THIRD STREET AND BROADWAY, LOS ANGELES, CAL. After his Princeton course, Hutchinson graduated at the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania, and entered the Philadelphia Hospital as resident physician, where he re- mained from May, 1887, to June 30, 1888. He then re- signed this position to become resident physician in Philadel- phia Orthopedic Hospital, and Infirmary for Nervous Dis- eases. In November of the same year he became assistant physician to Dr. Wentz at Hazleton, Pa. In 1891 he re- moved to take charge of the colliery practice at Landgratt and Eckman, West Virginia, and is now, since 1899, perma- nently located at Los Angeles, Cal. Dr. Hutchinson has been President of the Board of Health in McDowell County, West Virginia, examining physician for United States Pension Bureau, McDowell County, West Virginia, Examining Phy- sician for Mutual Life Insurance Company, Los Angeles, California, Instructor in Medicine in University of Southern California Medical College. He was married September 3 i , 1887, at Salem, West Virginia, to Miss Helen Munson, daugh- ter of Dr. George Munson of Denver, Col. He has no children. Dr. Hutchinson writes that '* he has shaved off his moustache and found a few gray hairs; that there are too many lawyers and ministers in the class of 1884 to put him- self on record as to his habits, good, or bad ; but floriculture, dancing, whist and horse-racing make up his favorite occu- pations and pleasures. " The saving of human life and relief of suffering " is the achievement of the past twenty years which has given him most satisfaction. He is a member of 125 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON the following clubs : University Club of Philadelphia, Uni- versity Club of Los Angeles, CaL, University Ethical Club of Los Angeles, CaL, Phi Rho Sigma Fraternity, University of Southern California, American Medical Association, County Medical Society, Los Angeles, CaL, California State Medical Association. Hutchinson's business card reads as follows : Randall Hutchinson, M.D. OFFICE HOURS, 10-12 A. M. PHONE. OFFICE, RED 2706 " '' 1-4 V. M. RES., WHITE 6176 If '• Hutch. "ever feels /?/iie and sees stars, he must feel like a good American. ALBERT M. JACKSON, A.B., A.M., PRINCIPAL WESTERN MILITARY ACADEMY, UPPER ALTON, ILL. Jackson has taught ever since he left Princeton, and with apparent enjoyment of his work, as he says that the achieve- ment which has given him the greatest pleasure has been " the assurance that he has helped some boys to become manly men." In 1885 he taught at Blairstown Academy, and in 1886 went to Western Military Academy, first as teacher, after- ward becoming principal in 1888. On July 6, 1885, he married Miss Jennie Simons at Ed- inboro. Pa., and he has three children — Florence, Ralph and Grace. He is Colonel of the National Guards of Illinois, and is a member of the following clubs and societies : All College 126 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Club of Alton, M. W. A. of America, Building and Loan Association, Golf Club, Country Club, Illinois National Guard, Princeton Club of St. Louis. We suspect that Jackson will soon be President of the United States. He has his eye fixed on the top round of the ladder, and he is not content till he reaches it. No inter- mediate position for him. Principal of his school. Colonel in the National Guards, President of his Building Association, etc., etc. We wish we all had his grit and perseverance and ability. Hon. FERDINAND JELKE, Jr., A.B., A.M., LL.B., JUDGE CIRCUIT COURT OF OHIO, COURT HOUSE, CINCINNATI, OHIO. In 1889 Jelke wrote for the record : " I have nothing of interest to report. I am busy and happy. Am a member of the law firm of Roelker & Jelke." Since then there is a great deal to report, for no man in our class has risen higher in place of honorable preferment. It is the acme of the lawyer's ambition to become Judge of the Supreme Court of the State, and that point was reached by Jelke in 1900. He doesn't seem to have made any '* steps in his profes- sion ; " he rose by bounds and was soon Judge of the Court of Common Pleas. Thereafter he was unanimously endorsed by the Republi- can Executive Committee to fill a vacancy as Circuit Court Judge in July, 1900. ''There was no opposition to him" [to quote the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune of July 12, 1900J, "as all other aspirants for the honor withdrew in his favor when it became known that he was a candidate." 127 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON He was inaugurated February 9, 1901. The Cincinnati Enquirer of the next day said : "Judge Jelke goes on the bench of the Appellate Court ripe from a number of years' experience on the Common FERDINAND JELKE, JR. Pleas bench, and thus exceptionally equipped for his work in the higher tribunal. He seems to be fitted by nature for judicial work, and was an able jurist in the place he has just vacated." Jelke has also made for himself a place not only in State but in National politics. Readers of the newspapers will re- member that recently his name was mentioned prominently 128 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON for the Governorship of his State. It will also be remem- bered that he was summoned by President Roosevelt to his home on Long Island in reference to the political conditions in Ohio. He is very much in demand in Ohio for addresses before societies of many kinds and of various nationalities. He was married on January 14, 1891, to Miss Daisy Elizabeth Spence, and his boy, now six years old, is Ferdi- nand Jelke III. He has made but one response to the Secretary's appeal for facts concerning his achievements, ideals, ambitions, pleas- ures, etc. He says he has grown ** fatter." The following amusing incident, from the New York Times, July i ?, 1900, will be interesting because of its light on the cheerful humaneness of the character of the success- ful Judge : Cincinnati, July 17. — "Gentlemen of the jury," said Judge Jelke in the Court of Common Pleas to-day, " no one believes in maintaining the dignity of the court more than I do, but in this weather I think some liberties should be permitted. Those of vou who wish may take your coats off." No move. Assistant City Solicitor Wadehellis : " Does that also apply to the counsel ? " Judge Jelke said : "Yes, that also applies to counsel." Instantly several coats were shed and an arrav of shirtage in all degrees of sound, from the calliope to the silence of white, was dis- played. The jury, however, still hesitated. " For fear there may be any hesitation," said the humane Judge, " I'll take off my coat myself." Plaintiff and defendant, witness, jurymen and stenographer soon " peeled," and in one moment were comfortable. 129 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON JOHN GUNDRY JENNINGS, PETROLEUM. FIRM OF E. H. JENNINGS & BRO., NEGLEY AVENUE, NEAR ROUP STATION, PITTSBURG, PA. It is a strange thing that a man may be of considerable importance, and yet it is hard to get much definite informa- tion concerning him personally. It's that way with Jennings. Rejoined us in September, i88i,and left the following De- cember. Brady's Bend, Pa., was the address given in our Freshman Catalogue. Not one word has been heard of him directly since. Scraps of news, however, have been gathered here and there, and the editors of the Record have put to- gether these few facts. It is a pity that there is no more information to be had about Jennings. The Secretary of the Princeton Club of Pittsburg gives us the above address. Bigham looked him up for us, and writes that he is in the oil business, a member of the firm of E. H. Jennings & Bro., which firm is a very strong one. He says he is a " hustler," is well-to-do, and an enthusiastic Princeton man. The following incident which we noticed in the paper, confirms Bigham's views. Speaking of the Alumni dinner at Pittsburgh, and Dr. Stewart's address on the Alumni gymnasium, the account continued : '' At the conclusion of this address John G. Jennings, '84, of Pittsburg, said he would give $500 for the gymnasium. Then the Hon. Job E. Hedges, '84, of New York, responded to The East- ern Question. In the course of his remarks he said that if Dr. Stewart, a casual acquaintance of Mr. Jennings, could obtain from him a subscription of $500, he, a classmate, should get from him at least that sum, whereupon Mr. Jennings in- creased his subscription to $1,000." 130 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCET O N Professor ALEXANDER JOHNSTON, DIED JULY 19, 1899. Professor Johnston was our one and only honorary mem- ber. We were his first class at Princeton, and, as he often declared, his ** first and best love." Never a meeting or reunion of our class occurred during his lifetime without some loving message from him. His face will be found in our class groups. He took some part in each of our reunions until June, 1889. At our dinner a letter from him was read, and all were filled with sadness to know how close he stood to death's door. The following resolution was drawn impromptu and adopted at once : Whereas, the esteemed instructor and honorary member of our class, Alexander Johnston, has been confined to a bed of suffering for many months, and thereby prevented from imparting that instruction to the students of our Alma Mater, the value of which the members of the class of '84 so fully appreciate ; And whereas, we have this night, as graduate-sons of old Nas- sau, gathered together to commemorate our Quinquennial Anniver- sary and to renew the associations and friendships of the past; Therefore be it resolved that we, the members of the class of '84, keenly appreciating the loss in pleasure to ourselves occasioned by the absence from our midst of one so truly loved and honored by our class, do hereby extend to him our heartiest sympathies in his ill- ness and our sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery. And be it further resolved that, though deprived of the pleasure of his personal presence to-night, we sincerely hope we may enjoy his company and friendly counsel in every future reunion of our class. In July came the sad message of his death, and a committee of five, with a tribute of flowers, proceeded 131 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON to Princeton to pay our last respects to our departed friend. It was very fitting that a classmate of ours (Butler) should have revised and completed Professor Johnston's Brief His- tory of the United States, and it was appropriate, too, that many of our members should have been instrumental in pro- viding the means which carried Professor Johnston's daugh- ter through her college course. Dr. NEWELL L. JOHNSON, A.M., M.D., PHYSICIAN, 629 WEST 4TH STREET, WILLIAMSPORT, PENNSYLVANIA. Johnson is now a physician at Williamsport, Pennsyl- vania. He left college in junior years ; tried a business ca- reer for five years. In 1888 he entered the Medical Depart- ment of the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in I 891, having been President of his class. On January last, he was elected President of the Lycoming County Medical Society and visiting physician of the City Hospital. He is very successful in his profession and has written considerably on medical topics, though as yet no book from his pen has been published. On June 20, 1893, ^^ ^^^ married to Miss Gula B, White, daughter of John A. White. He is a member of a number of societies and organiza- tions, including the Lycoming County Medical Society, Pennsylvania; State Medical Society, American Medical Association, Ross Club, Temple Club (Knights Templar), Philadelphia Sigma Society, Williamsport Board of Trade, and W. M. Lodge, No. 397 F. and A. M. 132 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETO NEWELL L. JOHNSON MOORHEAD C. KENNEDY, C. E., VICE-PRESIDENT OF CUMBERLAND VALLEY RAILROAD, CHAMBERS- BURG, PENNSYLVANIA. Upon graduation, Kennedy and Darling, who had been room-mates in college, went at once to Wyoming, where Kennedy purchased a ranch on Powder River and they en- gaged in the cattle business. In 1887 he left Wyoming and established a private bank in Junction City, Kansas. In 1889 he returned to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where he en- tered the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company as Assistant to the President. He is at present Vice-President and General Superin- 133 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON tendent of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company with headquarters at Chambersburg. He is also Vice-President of the Valley National Bank of Chambersburg, and President of the Valley Traction Company. He was married on June 25th, 1891, to Miss Margaret Coyle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Coyle, at the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pa. He has now four children : Thomas B., 3d, aged 11 ; James Coyle, aged 10 ; Margaret C, aged 7; MoorheadC, Jr., aged 2. He is a member of the University Club of Philadelphia. In a railway accident near Newville, Pennsylvania, on New Year's day M. C. Kennedy narrowly escaped serious in- jury. The following account is from the "Chambersburg Repository." *' Mr. Kennedy sat dozing in the third seat from the rear of the coach, and when it overturned, was thrown the length of the car to the front door. He was unconscious for a brief time, but when he revived he at once took charge of the relief work, himself bleeding and badly bruised." In this injured condition Mr. Kennedy *' helped the wounded, directed the rescuers, and ran the train bringing the injured here, jump- ing off the caboose and throwing switches. After all were in the hospital, he obeyed the doctors and went home and went to bed." The newspaper then adds : *'As an undergraduate, Mr. Kennedy was a famous football player." All the boys of '84 know that fact well enough and they also know that any em- ergency demanding steady nerve would find Jack Kennedy equal to the situation. 134 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON H. W. KESSLER, CHEMIST, BRANDT, PA. There are no previous records of Kessler's career. On March 26, 1902, he writes of himself: ** After leaving col- lege a place was opened for me in a chemical works for which I had a decided liking, but no theoretical training, then for the first time I began to study with an object in view, and I have remained at the same business, with various side issues, and have continued my studies so that I have been able to build up quite a successful and fairly profitable business for myself. " I have had many ambitions that have come to nothing, and life has finally come to be a routine of hard work with the satisfaction of accomplishing something aside from the money view. I have never coveted public or political posi- tions; habits are fixed both good and bad. A hunting or fishing trip now and then filling up the leisure time, and the sense ot accomplishing something brings a degree of contentment." He was married on October 29, 1885, at Pleasant Mount, Pa., to Miss Minnie Atwater, and they have two children — Charles A., 14 years old, and Katharine, 9. Kessler is a member of the Society of Chemical In- dustry. Dr. PAUL T. KIMBA.LL, A.B., A.M., M.D., PHYSICIAN, LAKEWOOD, NEW JERSEY. Kimball took his medical course in the New York Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons and graduated in April, 1887. 135 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON He became Ambulance Surgeon at the Chambers Street Hospital and afterwards Senior Assistant at the Woman's Hos- pital, New York. He writes that he is now " peddling pills" down in Lakewood ''and as far as I am able to remember am about the same article I was in '84 when we left Princeton — certainly have not improved any. Am still unmarried but strug- gling hard and am still hopeful. I fear I shall not be at the class re-union as I expect to go abroad about the iniddle of May. Should I be here will certainly be on hand to whoop her up once more for old '84." The newspapers say that Kimball is a prominent factor in life at Lakewood. For a while he was famous as a golfer and as a wing shot. If recent newspaper accounts are to be credited Kimball is the physician for the family of Mr. George Gould and travels extensively with them. He has recently returned from a trip to California with them. Dr. JAMES W. KING, M.D., PHYSICIAN, STOTTSVILLE, N. Y. King is a successful physician at Stottsville, Columbia County, New York. He is president of the Medical Society of that county, and has been for many years Health Officer of his town. For two years after he graduated from the Albany Medical College he was House Physician at the Albany Hospital. He sends us as his idea of prosperity : " Enough for the present to eat and to wear. *' Enough when aged to have and to spare." On July 25 last, he married Cornelia, the daughter of Roswell and Matilda Gleason. 136 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Rev. WILLIAM LANGDON, A.B., A.M., BOOK BUSINESS, HAMILTON, BERMUDA. Two severe nervous break-downs interfered with Lang- don's work to the extent of completely revolutionizing his plans of life. He took a Post Graduate course in Philosophy at Prince- ton, and after that a course in the Theological Seminary and went to Pekin, China, as a missionary of the Presbyterian Church. The Board of Missions speak of his work there in the highest terms, and of him as a valuable man " bright in intellect and consecrated in spirit, devoting himself with sub- lime taith to the work of enlightening and reclaiming his fel- low-men. He broke down at his work in China and returned to America in 189 1. In 1892 a second illness interfered still more seriously with his plans, and since then he has spent a large part of his time in Florida and Bermuda, adapting his life to the necessities of the case — tutor, schoolmaster, pulpit- supply, and " cycle-porter." He is now in the book busi- ness at Hamilton, Bermuda. On June i, 1899, at Hamilton, Bermuda, he married Miss Harriet Frances Burrows, daughter of Rev. Dr. Andrew Burrows. They have no children. This letter was received from him in January, 1903 : "I return herewith my last examination paper, lour blank suggests that you would make quite a stiff inquisitor as a college professor. At least for those who are ' not pre- pared.' Well, a compensation for a ' low standard ' man is that he will not excite the envy of his fellow classmates while he can rejoice in their brilliant achievements. I see I am not as far out of the world as a baker's dozen of the fellows 139 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON whom you have lost track of. Wishing you all success in your labors for class and Alma Mater, I am yours, "William M. Langdon." Hon. JAMES M. LAWSON, A.B., A.M. ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA Our C^inquennial Record found Lawson in Philadelphia, having previously spent some time as a practicing lawyer in Aberdeen, South Dakota. His letter to us at that time is interesting in view of his subsequent career. He said to us : " While no longer * a citizen of the West, I am at least a thorough Westerner, being fully convinced that its future will be proportionately greater than that of any of the older parts.' " Lawson returned to the West and as a member of the State Senate of South Dakota in 1899; President of the Senate in 1901 ; Speaker of the House of Representatives in 1903 ; and Chairman ot the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1903, Law- son has attained his ambitions with honor to himself and to his adopted State. As a lawyer and politician "Jim" is to be credited with a number of articles and pamphlets on gen- eral and political subjects which have found favor with his readers. Princeton is looking to him for new influence and prestige now that he has become President of the Alumni Association of the New North West. It may also be well to mention that if any member of " eighty-four " is short of gold, he can call upon our friend Lawson as President of the Cleo- patra Gold Mining Company. "Jim's" apology for being unmarried needs explanation. He says : " Too many people married now * before they were 140 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ripe.' " When asked how he has changed since graduation, *' Jim " says : *' I am about the same, but do not feel as wise." Recently the ''Minneapolis Journal" said of him : " Lawson of Aberdeen is a student and orator who has by no means JAMES M. LAWSON reached the height of his powers. If a faction . . . sets out to elevate Mr. Lawson from the State Senate to the United States Senate, the mov^ement is likely to be successful." " Eighty-four " will be truly honored when Lawson takes his place among the august lawmakers at Washington. The above portrait is from a recent photograph and shows the statesm.anlike look that Lawson has developed. 141 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON EDWARD S. LEAVITT EDWARD S. LEAVITT, A.B., LL.B. E. S. Leavitt died July 8, 1903, at Cincinnati, Ohio. He was married February 16, 1892, to Miss Lily Packer, and left 3 children, Edward, 10; Emily 9, and Robert, 5. He graduated from Cincinnati Law School and the Class Record of '89 reports him as having opened a law office at 37 Wiggins Block, Cincinnati. Among other public positions which Leavitt filled were Membership of the Cincinnati Board of Education and Secretaryship of the Cincinnati Blaine Club. He was also an Officer of the Cincinnati Elks and was Mason 32"^. 142 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON The following minutes were adopted by the class upon his death : The members of the Class of '84 of Princeton University record with greatest sorrow the death of their classmate, EDWARD S. LEAVITT. It is gratifying also to record that his life-work carried into frui- tion the promise of his College days. The community in which he lived has lost a good man, an excel- lent lawyer and a valuable citizen. We, his classmates, will ever cherish his memory, and do join with his widow and family in mourning that a life of so much good and usefulness should have been terminated so early. Ambrose G. Todd, For the Class. CHESTER F. LEE, MINING ENGINEER, 7 1 SAFE DEPOSIT BUILDING, SEATTLE, WASH. " The class circular came this morning having been for- warded to me from Spokane. I am glad you are going to get up a new record, and I hope great things for it. I haven't seen a classmate in eight years — then I saw ' Jane ' Harris for a couple of days. Princeton men are all too scarce out this way. We have a very good University Club here of one hun- dred members, and there are only three Princeton men in it. When I left college I thought a Yale man was a natural en- emy, now I think any college man is my friend, and Yale men are nearer to me than any of the rest after our own fellows. I don't know whether I can make it to get back to the re- union or not, but I am going to make a bold stagger at it. You chaps back there in New York can say glibly : * Why, 143 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON of course you can come if you only think so.' For you it only means a day or two of time and a few dollars expense. For me it means two weeks in going and coming, and about $300 for traveling expenses, just at my busiest time — never- theless I am going to try for it. I haven't any photograph at all recent, but will send you one during the current year. You will see by it that my whiskers, which I wear just the same as in senior year, are quite gray. I own up to 4 1 , but I was taken for '48 or 50' recently. Nothing very startling, striking or even amusing has happened to me. I have never made any very great mark, nor have J been a particularly easy mark for others. I am thoroughly identified with the West. I am not only in it, but of it, and expect to make my home on this coast for the rest of my days. I like the climate. I like the people, and I do not care to go East for more than a visit. I am rejoiced to see that old Princeton now has a President who is the right sort — truly ' a man of light and leading.' I am gratified beyond measure at what he is saying and doing. I was especially pleased at the recent saying of his, that there was a great deal of cant about character-building, and that if a boy was doing something worth while the character part would take care of itself. Our Alma Mater will now take a great brace, I feel sure, and it will be of the right sort, too. If you know of any Princeton men coming this way, send them to see me. I will give them a warm welcome, I assure you. Give my regards to any of the class you may see. Rev. S. H. LEEPER, A.B., A.M., CLERGYMAN, COATESVILLE, PA.

He graduated with '85, and entering the Theological Sem- inary graduated there in 1888. Before completing his course he received a call from the Presbyterian Church of New Lon- don, which he did not accept. The summer of 1888 he supplied the pulpit of the Boundary Avenue Presbyterian Church of Baltimore, and returned to the seminary in the fall to take a Post Graduate Course. In June, 1889, ^^ ^^" came the pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Mount Hollv, N. J., where he spent six years, during which his church doubled its membership. He left this parish with regret to accept a call to Coatesville. This he did because it opened the way to a return to the hills of Pennsylvania, which he and his wife love, and to which he was advised by his phy- sician to return. On the 5th of June, 1890, he was married to Laura Fer- guson, a graduate of Wells College of the class of '84. They have three children. EMIL LEUTE, A.B., A.M., CHIEF CLERK, WEIGHEr's DEPARTMENT, CUSTOMS SERVICE. APPRAIS- ER'S STORES, 134 SOUTH 2ND STREET, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Leute sends us the following splendid letter : *' If ever men loved one another, of course they do after a twenty-year separation. All the bovs of '84 want to have * heart to heart talks.' How delightful that would be if each fellow could and would tell of all the bumps and knocks, as well as the smiles of fortune. It is Princeton affection that 147 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON has made us what we are, and your letter is a clarion call to keep ever eager for the fray. " Wherever we are, whatever we do, nothing is so true, nothing so good, as the glad, eager hand shake of some old- EMIL LEUTE time, loyal Princeton man. And they 're all true. Why, hang it, Ambrose, finer hearts than those of yours and ' Scotch ' Tod, Gandy Reeves and ' Butch ' Gulick, Jack Harlan and lit- tle Murray, * Billy' Woods and 'Bob' Hunter, *Ben' But- ler and * Billy ' Langdon, good old Stewart and all the rest of them, don't exist anywhere. " At our last class dinner back in '89 I think — in Dohm's 148 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON hall — ' Butch ' Gulick thought I had gained sufficient success in one line to entitle me to get up and * gab.' Our school was successful. It was located at Sing Sing. A great place to get lost to the world in for more than one ambitious soul. But it was a pleasant spot for five years of my life, and I got in some good work for Princeton there. '' Six or seven boys were sent down from the Mt. Pleas- ant Military Academy at Sing Sing as a result of a lifting hand from M. Taylor Pyne and the Glee Club, (^larter Back Morse was one of them. Professor Dahlgren of the Princeton Scientific Institution was another." [Scoville, Baird, Hubbard, and Smithers also went from Mt. Pleasant.] Leute taught for the first ten years after graduation, first, at Chillicothe, Missouri, then at Macon, Mo., and next at Sing Sing. His experience with the New York Public School System he thus describes : " Later I was in New York City, in public school life. I got a whole lot of experience, a trunkful of testimonials, and my first insight into one of the preserves of city politics. * Got a pull?' 'No.' * Got dough?' *No.' * You're nit. Git!' *' In 1884 I fished out of the trunk a couple of notes Acting Mayor George B. McClellan, '86, wrote for me, and the consequence is I have been located here in the Custom Service for the last ten years. So here's to Mac and his success." Leute says that one of the ways he has changed since graduation is coming to the conclusion that *' pull " beats ** push." He married in 1886 on September ist, at Princeton, N. 149 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON J., Miss Lillie M. Berrien, daughter of Scott and Anna E. Berrien, and he has five children. Lilian, 15, Cecil, 13, George, 11, Harold, 8, Marjorie, 2. His favorite leisure occupation is " teaching a mixed grade school at home." And his ** fixed habits" are '* watching Jack Harlan's" "fixed habit" of gunning for the mayoralty prize in Chicago, and "keeping tab on Princeton's chance of landing the foot- ball championship." He belongs to the Philadelphia Law Academy and Young Republican Club of Philadelphia. Leute writes : " And so you're going to get the boys together again. What a treat ! That'll be as near heaven as the most of us'll ever get. " Yes, sir, there'll be there *Spot' Morris and ^ Jane' Harris, * Davy ' Look and ' Johnnie ' Poe, * Alec ' Moffat and ' Char- lie ' Winton and all the fellows who made us famous in fresh- man and sophomore years. " How real it all is ! Each fellow is to come in out of the wet, up to the fire of the festive class hearth, where good cheer and fellow feeling are so bright and warm, and have eager hearts drink in his story. " It will shake off the Rip Van Winkle flock-by-yourself spirit. No man can be a howling success all alone. " So here's a bumper of good liquor from the '84 bowl ! " The Editors of the Record wish that they had more letters from the boys written in this spirit. It stirs one like a rous- ing old college cheer. With sons like this no one can ques- tion the vitality of '84. 150 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ALVIN F. LEWIS, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. (J.H.U.), PROFESSOR, BOWLING GREEN, KY. Lewis has followed teaching as a profession since leaving college. In 1884-85 he taught in a preparatory school in Ken- tucky. In 1885—87 he was adjunct professor in the Univer- sity of Arkansas ; 1887-89, professor in West Florida State College; 1889-92, graduate student at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity; 1892-97, president of West Florida State College. He then went to Germany for further study, and, returning in 1899, he occupied the chair of History and Political Sci- ence in the University of Arkansas. In 1901 Lewis's health broke down, and he was compelled to cease work for awhile. He is now convalescent, however, and in the fall will assume the duties of teaching again. With such a busy career, it is no wonder Lewis has not found time to get married. DAVID M. LOOK, DRY GOODS COMMISSION BUSINESS, JAMES TALCOTT, I08-IIO FRANK- LIN STREET, NEW YORK CITY. *Dave' Look entered the wholesale house of Sylvester, Hil- ton & Company on September lo, 1884, and remained there till January 23, 1885, when he went with James Talcott, Dry Goods Commission Merchant, and he has remained with him ever since. His business address his 108 Franklin Street, New York City, and his house address 34 West loth Street, New York City. He was married on April 27, 1892, in Albany, N. Y., 151 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON to Mariana Townsend Reed, daughter of Mrs. Joel R. Reed. There were several classmates at the wedding. Look has two children — Edward Townsend Look, aged 6, and Mariana Look, aged 4. He has had no titles, degrees or honors, but has filled one commercial position — that of Director of the Merchants' Safe Deposit Company. He is a member of the following clubs : Princeton Club,, Union League Club, University Club and Merchants' Club. As Dave passes in silence the questions ot a more personal character, his classmates must be contented with the facts as given. It is evident from these that he is happily fixed in life and contented with the way that the world has treated him. AYRES D. LUNDY, A.B., A.M., ENGINEER, RAILWAY EXCHANGE BUILDING, MICHIGAN AND JACKSON BOULEVARDS, CHICAGO, ILL. Lundy was for two months after graduation in the Edi- son Machine Works in New York, and then went to Hazle- ton, Pa., as an electrician of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company, where he completed his first year in the " wide, wide world." He then took a purely electrical course in Cornell for two years. In June, 1887, he went to Chicago to work for Sprague Electric Railway and Motor Company, his business being the superintendence of the construction of Sprague Elec- tric Railways.

He is usually on hand at reunions and Princeton Club meetings, and on occasions when good fun and entertainment are wanted he plays a star role. His latest enthusiasm is photography, and it will be seen from the answers he has made to what extent this enthusiasm has absorbed him. He is no longer the man of affairs, the actor or the entertainer. He is " America's Leading Photog- rapher," and his ambition is to be America's leading photog- rapher and America's leading playwright forever. This ambi- tion assumes a place of importance in his soul, with the thought even of ** Her." Those of Burr's classmates that are married may have a comment to make on this. They will be apt to note that Burr has not yet married *' Her," and they may observe that when he does " She " may change all his ambi- tions and enthusiasms. Rev. R. GORDON MACKAY, A.B., LL.B., CLERGYMAN, MEMORIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF BROOKLYN, L. I., 330 47TH STREET, BROOKLYN, N. Y. After being graduated at the Union Theological Semi- nary, in 1887, he went to Newport, R. I., and organized there the First Presbyterian Church of Newport, which is now a prosperous church. He is also a member of the bar of New York State. On October 4, 1898, he was married to Miss Bertha Hancock Clark, of Utica, N. Y. They had one child, who died at the age of one year. The personal achievement which has given him greatest 161 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON satisfaction is " stumping the State during the Roosevelt campaign." In the spring of 1899 Mackay accepted a position as assistant pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian Church in Brook- lyn, and since that time he has devoted himself to the mission work of that church in the Southern District of that place. Mackay says he has changed considerably since leaving college ; has gained fifty pounds in weight, lost his cynicism (we never noticed he had any to lose), has better health, a good appetite, and is a splendid sleeper. He sends this message to his classmates : " I desire to convey my best wishes to all my classmates and renew my allegiance to dear old Princeton, especially the class of '84. I hope to be present at the reunion. As I get older I lind mvselt warming toward Princeton more and more, and am proud of the success and honors which have come to her men." FREDERIC D. McKENNEY, A.B., A.M., LL.B., LAWYER, 131 7 F STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, D. C. Fred McKennev's report is printed in facsimile herewith. It tells his story pretty thoroughly, and we have no letter from him that adds any facts to this. Fred McKenney was present at the fifteenth reunion of the class in 1899, and it was observed at that time that he made mysterious general observations on the subject of mar- riage. His tone was light and facetious, and calculated to direct suspicion away from himself. This attitude of mind is easily recognizable by all married men as a sign of change 162 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Please give a Complete Record since Graduation. 1.

Handley. Fred has always been a faithful attendant at the reunions of the class, and is a devoted son of '84. We wish that he could have given us a letter in his usual agreeable manner. His answers to the regulation questions are, however, full and satisfying. R. FULTON McMAHON, A.B., A.M., LL.B., LAWYER, 54 WILLIAM STREET, NEW YORK CITY. " Practicing law in New York city." That is very ex- pressive and comprehensive, but it don't give much detail for our Record, nor does it even suggest the wide field of Mc- Mahon's usefulness. He has been rich in many good works, personally, politically and religiously. Of a man's personal benefactions the world will never know, especially of such a man as McMahon. It is pure chance that we happen to have personally information regarding one or two instances of most helpful charity. Of McMahon politically we may find out more, for he has been in the front rank of those engaged in reform politics in New York city. He was prominently identified with the Good Government Club movement, the Committee of Seventy, and with the crusades of the City Club against municipal corrup- tion. At our last class dinner Job Hedges had great fun with 165 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON MacMahon, whom he termed "The Purist in PoHtics." Then, speaking seriously, Job remarked, " He has done things which few of us would have the principle or the courage even to at- tempt." In January, 1900, he was the counsel for the City Club in its prosecution of charges against the Tammany District Attorney, Asa Bird Gardiner, who was subsequently removed by the Governor. When he preferred the charges the full power of Tammany was directed against McMahon. In order to save their official, a trumped-up charge was preferred in the police courts against his accusers. McMahon voluntarily demanded the most searching investigation, which resulted in a persecution running for several weeks. The press vigorously denounced this method of terrorism ; the ring was fought to a stand-still ; McMahon was fully vindicated, and all charges against him were dismissed. McMahon has also been very active as representative of the Sabbath Observation Committee, devoting a large amount of time and money to this good work. Meantime, he was also conducting a Mission Sunday- school, with over one thousand scholars. As though all this were not work enough for one man, Mac has devoted his leisure ti*me to the study of the languages, in which he has become very proficient. This he has turned to a practical account in the study of the Roman law and that of France and Spain. He has worked out some intricate cases concerning property rights in the Spanish-American countries. When the War Revenue Law of 1898 was passed, Mc- Mahon, in collaboration with E. L. Heydecker, published a book on the subject. 166 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ALBERT McMillan, OCCUPATION AND ADDRESS UNKNOWN. All search for recent and definite information regarding McMillan is fruitless. About the only thing we can find is that he entered the United States Army as an enlisted man. The records of the War Department show that he enlisted in Troop E, 7th Cav- alry, August 15,1887. Thereafter he served in the follow- ing grades: Corporal, Sergeant, ist Sergeant and Sergeant Major. He was discharged at Fort Riley, Kansas, Septem- ber 2, 1892, by reason of expiration of service, a private. These records further show that on December 29, 1890, he participated in the Battle of Wounded Knee, South Da- kota, and received a medal of honor for bravery in action. Kennedy, when in the West, took occasion to look up McMillan. He writes regarding his inquiries as follows : '*In 1890 (I think) Albert W. McMillan was 1st Ser- geant in the 7th Cavalry United States Armv, and distin- guished himself for bravery at the Wounded Knee Indian outbreak i:i South West Dakota. '' In fact, after the trouble, one of his superior officers spoke to me in the highest terms of Mac's bravery and cool- ness. He was a fine soldier and a fearless rider. I am strongly of the opinion that if he was living at the time, he in all probability served in the Cuban or Philippine wars." The War Department say there is no record of his re-en- listment after his discharge in 1892, and that they have no knowledge of his present whereabouts. As to the medal of honor, it may be said that they are 169 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON very rare, and are only awarded in very exceptional cases. We have heard it said that Kennedy and other friends of McMillan's made strong efforts to obtain for him the privi- lege of an examination for a commission, which McMillan passed with high grade, but other things prevented the com- mission being awarded. We have written to McMillan's family, and to many oth- ers for further information. We have even advertised in the papers without result. CHARLES T. McMULLIN. McMullin continued in Princeton for part of the year after graduation, then taught in a co-educational school at Pennington. He entered the General Theological Seminary against the wishes of his friends, to become an Episcopal clergyman. He left there in the spring of i 889, without fin- ishing his studies. He is now an invalid. H. W. MANNERS. Manners died during our college course (October 14, t88i). He was the only classmate, you will remember, in whose memory a flower was dropped on the roll-call at class- day. STARLING MARSHALL, A.B., A.M., RETIRED, HENDERSON, KY. Marshall became part owner of a newspaper in Hender- son, Ky., soon after graduation. The name of the paper was 170 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON the " Daily Journal." It was very successful and grew from a weekly into a daily in a few years. The firm in 1894 was Lynn & Marshall, proprietors and publishers. Marshall was elected trustee of the Henderson High School in 1887, be- STARLIXG MARSHALL came secretary and treasurer of the Henderson State Line Railway in 1889. Marshall expected to make journalism his life work, but was disappointed in his plans owing to ill health. He sold his newspaper interests and is now living on his farm a short distance out of Henderson. " Although at the present date I am still unmarried, I promise that this re- proach shall have been removed from my record before I am 171 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON called upon for another class record ; more definite informa- tion I am not now at liberty to give. Trust to be with the boys at the next session." Rev. J. E. MAXWELL, Ph.D., BEETHOVEN STRASSE, 10, LEIPZIG, GERMANY. At Princeton Theological Seminary and the Universities of Leipzig and Edinburgh Maxwell fitted himself for his special lines of work after quitting Princeton University. He is now pastor of the American-British Church in Leipzig, Germany. This is an undenominational and international church — a students' church, in fact — for the large numbers who flock to Leipzig for the University and the Royal Con- servatory, and is a social centre of the English-speaking col- ony. Mrs. Maxwell, who is deeply interested in her husband's work, was formerly Mrs. Sarah Knisby of Chicago. Their marriage took place on October i, 1895, ^^ ^^^ ^^^Y of Lon- don, England. They have no children. In response to the class letter Maxwell writes : " It did me good to have a word from a member of '84. It has been years since I have had the pleasure of meeting a classmate. I continue to have a hearty interest in my Alma Mater." **The Interior" of Chicago had an article in February, 1903, on Maxwell and the American-British Church in Leip- zig, and thus refers to the work Maxwell is doing : " The first year or two abroad for the young man is a critical period. He experiences greater freedom and discovers a wider hori- zon. Not infrequently conceptions of God and of life once 172 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON cherished prove under new conditions inadequate. The pastor (Maxwell) by the lead of the Spirit has tried to give help in such cases, to keep the young mind from casting aside the substance of his faith, to assist him in replacing old and in- adequate conceptions with those of higher and larger and nobler character." Since the above was written Maxwell has been called to the position of assistant to the President of the University of Wooster, Ohio. He assumes his duties there this year. ARTHUR M. MILLER, A.B., A.M., Fellow of Geo- logical Society of America. PROFESSOR, STATE COLLEGE, LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY. Miller taught school four years in Ohio, his native place, and in 1888 came back for a P. G. course at Princeton. In this year he was elected the Class of 'j^ University Fellow in Biology. He spent the summer of 1888 working with Phillips, '84, and McClure, '88, at Wood's Holl in the Fish Commission laboratory. In 1889 he was appointed profes- sor of biology, geology and astronomy at Wilson College, Chambersburg, Pa. After two years at Wilson he was at the summer school at Avon with Professor McCloskie in charge of the biological department. Spent the winter of 1891-92 at the University of Munich, Germany. Since his return from Germany he has been professor of geology and zoology at the State College of Kentucky. Miller has contributed various articles upon geology to the scientific magazines ; he is not married. Says he neglected his opportunities during the " impressionable period." His favorite leisure occupation THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ARTHUR M. MILLER is looking after a little country seat of 13^^/^ acres known as Maxwelton. If you want to pass a delightful evening drop into Professor Miller's library, but don't suggest whist or chess unless you are prepared, for Miller's a *' crack" at those games. EUGENE MILLER, A.B., A.M., LIFE INSURANCE, N. Y. LIFE BUILDING, KANSAS CITY, MO. On leaving college Miller took up teaching. He estab- lished the Louisiana Female College at Shreveport, La. He also conducted a Teachers' Bureau, and in his leisure (?) hours pursued the duties of editor of the Baptist Chronicle. In 174 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON 1896 he became professor of English language and literature in Kansas City University. Miller was married December 29, 1884, at Bowling Green, Ky., to Marie N. Van Meter, daughter of Dr, S. K. Van Meter. Alvin Lewis assisted at the ceremony. He has an interesting family, two daughters and one son. He just missed getting the class cup because his girl was not a boy. His children are: Marie Kirk, age 18 ; Walter P., age 16, and L. Cessna, age 14. In answer to our question as to whether he has occupied any high positions, he replied with pride, " head of the fam- ily." We don't credit this statement, for later on we asked him what he regarded his highest achievement, and his answer was : " My wife at my elbow says it was my marriage ;" and when we asked, " What accomplishments have you ? " he said, ** My wife dictates ' none.' " He says he has not changed much, except to become gray and bald-headed ; that he loves the pleasures of home and family, and is glad to find a little time to read and study and write on his hobbies. We are sorry we could not get a list of these, but we did not happen to find any one who knew, and Miller answers us with characteristic modesty: "They're of no importance." FRANK H. MILLER, B.S., CARRIAGE MANUFACTURER, 713-15 SOUTH MAIN STREET, CINCINNATI, OHIO. Miller is engaged in manufacturing carriages and has been ever since he graduated. 175 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON" On Tune 6, 1886, with the able support of Jelke, Hedges and Todd, he was married at EUzabeth, New Jersey, to Miss Julia Glasby. Their daughter, Miss Gladys, is now 15 ; their son Donald Glasby is now 14 ; and they have another daugh- ter, Fredericka, aged 6. He is a member of the Cincinnati Automobile Club ; of the Sons of the Revolution and of a Shooting Club. He attends and is a member of the Westwood Presbyterian Church. He writes : '* I should love to be with you all in June, but that is my busy month, so don't expect me." Dr. IVAN DEMETER MISHOFF, A.B., A.M., M.D., LL.D., PHYSICIAN, 413 GOLDSMITH BUILDING, MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. After graduation Mishoff went through the Seminary at Princeton, then took a medical course at Rush College, Chi- cago, to equip himself as a medical missionary. Mishoff, our theologian doctor, at the date of our last record in 1889, was on his way with his wife Laura Raush, whom he hadmarriedinMayof that year, to hishome, Lootcha, in Bulgaria. He remained in that country for over a year as a medical missionary. Since that time he has devoted him- self, with success, to the practice of medicine in Milwaukee. Among the articles he has published is one, copies of which we hope he will have on hand for our reunion. It is entitled *' Physiological Action of Alcohol." He says that since his graduation he has " grown better natured and better looking than milhousey 176 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON Mishoff is a member of several societies, among which are: American Medical Association ; Wisconsin State Medical Association ; Milwaukee Medical Association ; F. A. M.; K. P.; R. G. E.; I. O. F.; A. O. U. U., and I. O. G. T. He has one child, a daughter, Williard, of seven years. His idea of contentment is " to be busy all the time at one thing or another." ALEXANDER MOFFAT, C.E., IRON AND STEEL WORKS, I52— 154 WEST 34TH ST., NEW YORK CITY. In reply to your circular letter asking for a contribution of wit and wisdom to the Class Record, I wish to say that I never shone as a wit and was never remarkable for my wis- dom. *' My present business address is with the Cooper, Wigand, Cooke Company, i 52 West 34th Street, New York City, with which Company I have been connected for over a year past. We are manufacturers of cast steel and engineers and contrac- tors for structural and ornamental steel and iron work for the fabrication and erection of steel structures. I am a Director in the Company, and have very pleasant business associates, two or three of whom are Princeton men, I being manager of sales of our steel-casting department, our foundry plant being situated at Delawanna, N. J. " My business experience since graduation has been a rather varied one, and with only a modest degree of success. When first graduating I went into the pottery business in Trenton, but, having been prepared by my course as a civil engineer 177 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON and post graduate course in electrical work for electrical en- gineering, I soon tired of the pottery business, and for about two and one-half years went into electrical work, being em- ployed by the Bentley-Knight Electric Railway Company, of ALEXANDER MOFFAT which "Joe" Blackwell and his brothers were the controlling spirits, and spent some time in Allegheny City, Pa. " After this Company was absorbed by the Thompson- Houston Electric Company, about the fall of 1889, I con- nected myself with the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing Company, in their New York office, as selling engineer, i;8 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON and remained connected with them for some two and one-half years. After this connection I was employed by the H.Ward Leonard Company, and again by the New York Electric Equip- rnent Company, in electrical work and the specific line of sell- ing equipments for plants in New York city and immediate vicinity. This continued until the year of 1896, when I en- tered into a partnership with another Princeton man, Conrad Hewitt, '88, and engaged in the taking of contracts for lire- proof floor-construction work, and eventually branched out into a general contracting and building concern, which part- nership lasted until a little over a year ago, when the oppor- tunity of engaging in the steel business with the new depart- ment of an old concern and becoming interested in the Com- pany was offered, and since then, as stated above, I have been connected with this concern. "In 1895 ^ married Miss Madeline S. Spratt, who was a native of Toronto, Canada, although at the tiine I knew her she had been living at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. We were married at the home of her sister in Toronto. She was the daughter of a Mr. Robert Spratt, an old citizen of Toronto. We have no children, and our present place of residence is at Mamaroneck. Our highly respected class president, Wil- liam Stewart Tod, was my best man at the wedding. So much for the bare, cold facts. " As far as my social life goes, I take the greatest pleasure in going to the Princeton Club of New York City, where I meet the bovs, and especially take pleasure in meeting the fellows of our bully old class who frequent that social resort. " My old athletic davs have passed from me, and although 179 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON I kept up my interests in outdoor games and sports for a number of years after college, I have not had the time nor the opportunity to do more than play a very " dufferous " game of golf, and probably will shock some of our ministerial friends, such as Brother Howell and ''Pous " White, by stating that I only have the time to play the ancient and noble game on the Sabbath day. This does not seem to interfere, how- ever, with my enjoyment of it. " I am looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to our reunion in June, and sincerely hope that nothing will arise to prevent my turning up and spending a few days in Prince- ton, when I hope to see all the old fellows, some of whom 1 have not seen for twenty years. *' With most sincere greeting and affection for all the fel- ows. WILLIAM D. MOFFAT, A.B., PUBLISHING, CHARLES SCRIBNER's SONS, I53 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK. '' The twenty years since graduation have meant to me, so far as employment is concerned, one thing alone — the pub- lishing and selling of books and magazines. A few months after we sang our last song about the old cannon in the back campus I landed in the cold world in the shape of a book clerk. I loved the business, and I have stuck to it ever since. I have been connected with the publishing-house of Charles Scrib- ner's Sons — a thoroughly Princeton house, by the way — for eighteen years, and my business address is in the Scribner Building, at 153 Fifth Avenue. My present occupation is the business management of the two periodicals published by 180 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON the house, " Scribner's Magazine" and "The Lamp." It is my purpose to remain in the pubHshing business for good and all. I do not think that I could be happy in any other kind of work. I have my home on my native soil, the State WILLIAM D. MOFFAT of New Jersey, where I spend my leisure hours chasing the elusive golf ball. '* Following in order the line of your questions, I would say, first of all, that I was married on August 15th, 189S. The wedding was private and no classmates were present. " There is little to say about the " various steps in my busi- 181 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON ness career." It would mean simply a record ot work in the different departments of a publishing-house. '* I have received no degrees or titles, and the only honors that I can point to are six silver golf cups that represent a series of successful achievements through the "fair green." I may mention in this connection, merely as an aside, that I am willing to meet any member of the class at any time, on a fair handicap basis, for ''a ball a hole." ** I have not filled any public, political or military offices. As far as writing is concerned, I plead guilty to a few offences. These, however, were published a number of years ago, and may be classed among the indiscretions of youth. My clean record for the last five or six years ought to atone for this ; moreover, I might say in extenuation that when I wrote my stories I needed the inoney very badly. I was, however, like the literary sinner of old — I went "from bad to verse.'' Hap- pily, I discovered before too late the error of my ways, and I have since been trying bravely to live it down. " I am or have been a member of a number of city and country clubs of New York and vicinity, including The Princeton Club, The Players, The Calumet, The New York Athletic, The Aldine Association, and the Hackensack and Englewood Golf Clubs ; but, though living in a great centre, I very seldom see any of my classmates. Ambrose Todd and Rowland I have occasionally seen, and once in a while I get a glimpse of Gayley. Of course, I see Job Hedges at times. Everybody sees Job in New York, but from his eminence on the rostrum, or at the speaker's table at public dinners, I know that he does not see me. I have often en- vied Job's self-command and easy speech, and I have often 182 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON wished that I could free my mind of thoughts that have har- dened it for a long time, with equal wit and eloquence. It is a satisfaction to me to see one of my classmates doing such good, strong work in public life, and helping with his ready tongue to *' scorch the scorpion scandal in his lair." When our old college mate of '86, George McClellan, is through with being Mayor, I hope Job will have a chance at it. I am sure that when he gets it his first act will be the presentation of the " freedom of the city " to the boys of '84. '' My fondest ambition, I believe, is to be successful in a clean way. Such achievement as I have made in the past twenty years that hasgiven me satisfaction has been in the nature of occasional small contributions toward the kind of success that I want. I do not know that I have changed very much since graduation, except that I don't know half as much as I did then. I came very near knowing it all then. I very soon, however, forgot most of it, and this left my mind with a vast amount of echoing space in it which I have since found use- ful for other purposes. I have no accomplishments that I can think of except very good direction in my "drive " and a very accurate " short approach shot." I have no good nor bad hab- its, I think. I have plenty of habits, but they are neither good nor bad — they are just plain habits. My favorite leisure occupation, of course, as will be inferred from the foregoing, is golf, and the social pleasure that I most enjoy is going over the day's score with some good golf friends in the evening. I have never formulated an ideal of perfect contentment. I know when I am contented, and I consider health, con- genial work and home happiness most desirable things in life. My hope is to enjoy them all indefinitely, and my 183 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON most cordial wish for all classmates is that they shall enjoy them too." CHARLES L.

He is not married, and makes this apology, " those whom the gods love they destroy ; I have so far escaped the love of the gods." He is a member of the Philadelphia Club, Princeton Club of Philadelphia, and also of New York. His most satisfactory achievement is that he has ridden some good steeple-chases and owned one or two good horses. His fond- est ambition is a successful and honorable reputation.

Young 266 SINCE GRADUATION IN June, 1885, about fifty members assembled to celebrate our lirst anniversary and reunion. The first Record of the individual members of the class w^as published on this occasion. The next meeting of the class was our Trien- nial, held June 21, 1887. Forty-two members assembled at the University Hotel to partake of the banquet and celebrate the bestowal of the class cup upon William C. Hill on be- half of his son — our class boy. A letter was received from Professor Johnston, our hon- orary member, regretting his inability to meet with us. At this meeting was inaugurated the idea of a " batting cage" for the baseball men, and a fund was then and there started which was subsequently increased by general subscrip- tions, and the building was thereafter erected. On this occasion it was decided to plant a new Ivy and insert in the foundation of *' Old North " a suitable tablet. This was done with appropriate ceremonies the following June. On June 18, 1889, the class assembled in old Ivy Hall in Mercer Street for our quinquennial banquet. Professor Johnston was unable, by reason of sickness, to be present at this meeting. He sent a message, however, and resolutions of sympathy were adopted and presented to him next day by a committee. 267 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON On the 22nd of the following July, Professor Johnston was laid at rest, and a committee of our class attended, bear- ing our floral tribute to his memory. Our Decennial Reunion was celebrated in June, 1 894. We then inaugurated the headquarters idea, which has since been largely developed. The new store at No. 40 Nassau Street served as an assembly place, and sleeping quarters were arranged above. Who can forget these delightful hours of friendship and reminiscence among our class and college mates, and who can forget the delightful call and chat of dear old Dr. Duffield. The banquet was served in Odd Fellows Hall, forty-four members being present. A committee of fifteen was ap- pointed to consider the question of a class memorial. In 1896 the college celebrated its sesquicentennial, and a memorial fund of a million dollars was raised, which was to include all expected donations from all sources. After some correspondence with the college the Executive Com- mittee of the Memorial Committee adopted and presented to the college this resolution : Resolved, That the class of '84 present to the college on the occa- sion of the Sesquicentennial celebration a Fellowship of six thousand dollars ($6,000), and that we collect said sum within three years from October i, 1896, and complete the full endowment of the Fellowship to ten thousand dollars (| 10,000) as soon thereafter as may be practicable. The college celebration was held October 21, 1896, and our class assembled with torches and flags. About that time the silver question was prominent. Grover Cleveland re- 268 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON viewed the procession. When our class arrived in front of the reviewing stand, instead of rendering the college cheer as preceding classes had done, we carried out the drilling of Mcintosh, halted in our places, then turned, faced Mr. Cleveland, and shouted in concert, '* i6 to i .^ Nhy Then faced to the left and marched on. It was startling, a feature of the occasion and provoked a great cheer In June, 1899, our last reunion was held. Headquar- ters were established at No. 2 Nassau street, a house which was hired for the occasion, and the banquet was served at the Princeton Inn. On the afternoon oi June 12, a recep- tion was tendered to the class, their wives, relatives and friends, by Professor and Mrs. Baldwin. At this reunion the following resolution was adopted : Resolved^ That a committee of ten be appointed to designate a proper subject for a class memorial and to raise a fund to establish such a memorial as shall be selected; That Grier Hersh be chairman of said committee and that he be empowered to name his own com- mittee and to increase its members in his discretion. On October 25, 1902, the occasion ot the inauguration of President Wilson, twenty members of our class assembled and took their place in the academic procession and attended the exercises in Alexander Hall. This was the last meeting of our class. Numerous informal meetings and dinners have been held at the Princeton Club, New York. During these twenty years seventeen of our members have gone to their rest, and resolutions have been duly passed and presented to the members' relatives as each sad occasion arose. 269 REPORT OF MEMORIAL COMMITTEE York, Pa., May 7, 1904. Mr. William Tod, President : DEAR Sir : — The Chairman of the Memorial Com- mittee, appointed by the class at its last meet- ing, offers the following report : " Acting under authority granted, he appointed as mem- bers of the committee, Messrs. Butler, Hedges, Paul, Finney, Boyd, Jelke and Harlan. The committee held no formal meeting, but exchanged opinions by letter. " The chairman assumes the entire responsibility for the decision ' to not proceed in the manner proposed at the last meeting of the class,' and the conclusians reached by him are the result of the interchange ot opinions with members of the committee, class officers and various members. The chairman disclaims any intention of shirking his duties, and was only actuated by the great desire that the class establish a memorial worthy of its record. The diversity of opinion presaged no unanimity of action. A number of purposes to which a class memorial fund could be applied were proposed, each having its advocates. The choice of any one would, naturally, have been a disappointment to the adherents of all others. THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON "The questions arose : Of what amount of money would the fund ultimately consist ? Should the memorial be chosen before this would be approximately determined ? A fund sufficient to erect a memorial of one character would be inad- equate for one of another. Would the class feeling of the members respond generously to a simple proposition of a memorial without a definite purpose ? Should the commit- tee decide in advance ? If so, would a member subscribe freely to a fund to be applied to a memorial of which he did not approve ? The chief object being the creation of a fund sufficient to establish a creditable and permanent memorial, these considerations were regarded as being essentially perti- nent to success or failure. " In view of these difficulties it was deemed best to recommend : First, that the class select, at its twentieth anniversary, the character of the memorial, and that the sum of money necessary for the establishment of such memorial be determined. Second, that if at the end of a definite period the amount of money contributed has not reached the amount so determined, then the Memorial Committee shall apply whatever the amount of money then in its hands to a memorial which, in its judgment, such an amount would establish. " All of which is respectfully submitted, Grier Hersh, Chairman." 271 VARIOUS FACTS AND FIGURES ALL told one hundred and sixty-eight men were mem- bers of our class at sometime during our college course. Of these one hundred and twelve graduated with us and six graduated with other classes at Princeton. Of our one hundred and sixty-eight members seventeen have died, or about ten per cent. One hundred and four- teen have married, or about sixty-eight per cent., and these have a total of two hundred and ten children. Our membership distributed itself among the world's workers as follows : Lawyers . • • 40 Business . ■ 35 Physicians ■ 23 Clergymen . 21 Professors 12 Unki lown Engineers g Bankers .... 6 Pharmacists .... 5 Editors . . . . . . 3 Architects 2 . . . . 9 The bonds of friendship and devotion for our classmates and for the college have grown with the years. Each suc- ceeding reunion has exceeded its predecessor in attendance of members. As a class it was our good fortune to be small enough to 272 THE CLASS OF 1884, PRINCETON make possible a class acquaintance and friendship of each member with all the others. As a class we were always, during college, unusually united and harmonious, and this same spirit has shown itself in later years in numerous small and informal dinners and reunions at the Princeton Club in New York. With but one exception no class has held as many of these dinners as the class of '84. Those of you who have never attended one of these dinners, and who would renew your old love and memories, come to one of our fam- ily gatherings and get in close touch with the old boys, who will be more than glad to see you in the fold. There are forty-tour ot our members located in and around New York City, and thirty-live are members of the Princeton Club of New York. While our memorial has not taken definite shape as yet, we have not been lacking in our devotion to the University. Toward the building of the Alumni Gymnasium our members have contributed nearlv five thousand dollars. Individuals have also contributed large sums to projects connected with the de- velopment of the New Princeton. Our class started the scheme and the subscription for the erection of th? batting cage for use of the baseball men. We originated the Alumni-headquarters idea in its good aspects. We disclaim certain abnormal growths which have attached themselves unbidden to what in its inception was a good plan. We hope this year to exemplify our headquarters plan prop- erly administered. 273 DIRECTORY CLASS OF 1884 PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Alton, William, Jr., Lawyer, I I 33 Chicago Stock Exchange Building, Chicago, 111.
