The following men have been added to the active list :

Retired List
The following men who received their degrees with the Class have so persistently declined to subscribe to the Class Fund, to attend Class reunions, and (particularly) to reply to Class com- munications, that it has not seemed worth while to continue their names on the active list of the Class.

ERNEST HAMLIN ABBOTT
Born at Cornwall on Hudson, New York, 18 April 1870, of Lyman Abbott
(clergyman and editor) and Abby Frances Hamlin. Fitted at the Hill School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married May Louise Kleberg at New Rochelle, New York, 28 September 1899. Children:
Alexander Lyman, born 26 July 1900.
Lawrence, 9 July 1902.
Theodore Vaughan, 24 September 1908. Now on The Outlook at New York City.
" Editorial work of the sort that I do involves so many diverse interests that I can hardly select special parts for mention. Within the past year I have settled my household on some land on the side of Storm King Mountain, and am now a landowner. My outdoor interests are confined chiefly to the development of my modest place and to very indifferent golf. I do not intend to send my boys to any college ; I hope they will choose Har- vard when the time comes for them to choose. A fellow will take pains to justify his own choice when he won't take pains to justify his father's. I 'm no good at autobiography. I don't even keep a diary."
ALVIN ADAMS
Born at Boston, 30 November 1870, of Edward Livingston Adams (express)
and Emily Macy. Fitted at Hopkinson's. Class Status: Scientific, 1889-92. Died at Pasadena, California, 5 April 1902.
See Report III, page 34.
WALTER SAWYER ADAMS
Born at Worcester, Massachusetts, 15 April 1871, of John Francis Adams
(dentist) and Ellen Jane Wilson. Fitted at Adams Academy. Class Status: A.B. 1895 as of 1893. Now practising medicine at New York City.
" I am doing work for the New York Life Insurance Company and some outside practice. Also am the medical examiner of one
Class of 1893
of the private schools for boys. Out-door interests : anything in sight — I walk a fair distance every day. Am not an athlete. Am not connected with any charitable institution, but try to do my share as a physician. Health good. Walking, fresh air all the time and moderation in eating. Heredity. Am unmarried and have no real opinion, but it seems to me that a boy should elect his own college. Harvard always my own choice."
GEORGE HENRY ALDEN
Born at Tunbridge, Vermont, 30 August 1866, of Edwin Hyde Alden
(clergyman) and Anna Maria Whittemore. Entered from Carleton College (B.S. 1891). Class Status: I. Graduate School, 1892-93; A.B. 1893. Married Dora Hall Page at Anoka. Minnesota, 23 June 1898. Children:
Eodney Whittemore, born 18 May 1899.
Margaret Marion, 12 December 1903. Now Professor of History at the University of Washington.
" Have been on the faculty of the State University of Wash- ington for the past five years. Was made Associate Professor three }^ears ago. Have been trustee of the University Congre- gational Church, and specially interested in the laymen's move- ment in that denomination. Am president of the Puget Sound Congregational Club. Gave a commencement address before a high school up the Sound three weeks ago, and next day went salmon fishing in Deception Pass. We landed a few good ones, and my family feasted for several days on the twenty-four pounder I brought home. Let me recommend salmon fishing to the members of the class who are inclined to that sport."
JOHN ALDEN
Born at Portland, Maine, 16 October 1870, of William Ladd Alden and
Rhoda Louise Libbey. Fitted at Portland Latin School. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married Alice Nichols at Portland, 23 December 1899. Children:
John, Jr., born 21 January 1901.
Mary, 15 June 1902.
Elizabeth, 23 October 1903.
Alice, 25 February 1905. Now Assistant Principal of the High School at Portland.
" I have nothing worthy of mention to Avrite, having stayed at home most of the time since the last report. Health has been
Fourth Report
good enough till this spring, when I had a mild case of ' Nerves,' and, in consequence, spent the summer on Monhegan, where Moody, '93, also turned up. My son should belong to the Class of '24, Harvard College."
FREEMAN ALLEN
Born at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, 27 September 1870, of Henry Freeman
Allen (clergyman) and Georgiana May Stowe. Fitted at G. W. C. Noble's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising medicine at Boston.
" Since the last report I have practised my profession, — that of anesthetist, — a specialist in administering gas, ether, chloro- form. I am anesthetist to the Massachusetts General Hospital and Children's Hospital, Boston. With a colleague I wrote a chapter on Anesthetics for the ' American Practice of Sur- gery,' edited by Buels, New York, and got paid real money for doing the job. Finding the study of anesthesia a somewhat limited field, I have, for the past year, endeavored to learn about other medical subjects, and to that end have spent the winter studying (Dermatology among other things) in Berlin, Vienna, and am now in Paris. I am coming home to settle again in Boston. If I had sons and was able to support them for the rest of their natural lives, I would send them to Harvard. If I were poor, however, I should try to give them a good school education, and have them understand that after twenty-one they must support themselves."
WILLIAM HENRY ALLISON
Born at Somerville, Massachusetts, 17 August 1870, of George Augustus
Allison (agent) and Julia Lucinda Powers. Fitted at Cambridge Latin School. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married ( 1 ) Elizabeth Lincoln Smith at Newton Center, 6 September 1899
(died 14 July 1900). Married (2) Mary Emily Mills at Chicago, 31 July 1905. Child:
Elizabeth Mills, born 28 January 1907. Now Professor of History at Bryn Mawr.
" Continued as Fellow in Church History in University of Chicago till August 1, 1904, when I resigned to become acting Professor of Church History and Christian Missions at the Pacific Theological Seminary, Berkeley, California, 1904-5. Returned to the University of Chicago, and received the degree
Class of 1893
of Ph.D. {magna cum laude) in June 1905. Thesis: 'Baptist Councils in America,' published in 1906. Married July 31, 1905. September 1905 became Professor of History and Politi- cal Science at Franklin College, Franklin, Indiana. For the last two years have been engaged in the compilation of an inventory of unpublished manuscript material relating to American reli- gious history, for the Department of Historical Research, Car- negie Institution of Washington, and am to contribute a long article to the new edition of the ' Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge.' Tennis and out-of-door life in general appeal to me. Try to climb a few of the White Mountains each summer. Find little time for general public service, as a small college makes great demands upon one's time both in regular work and in all sorts of side lines of activity. I find opportun- ity to advise some other men's sons to go to Harvard. Franklin College has had two able graduates there this last year, when they made good records and return for next year. Since Sep- tember 1908, have been head of the History Department at Bryn Mawr College, with special charge of the European (and especially English) History work."
FRED HOWES ANDERSON
Born at Arlington, Massachusetts, 28 August 1869, of Clinton Orlando
Anderson (merchant) and Juliet Stark Howes. Fitted at Wakefield High School. Class Status: Regular A.B. Died at Wakefield, 30 December 1893.
See Report I, page 126.
ALBERT STOKES APSEY
Born at Cambridge, 27 November 1870, of William Stokes Apsey (clergy- man) and Jennie Herrmans. Fitted at Cambridge Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married Laura Louise Soule at Cambridge, 2 May 1896. Children:
Lawrence Soule, born 14 November 1902.
Suzanne, 8 January 1907. Now practising law at Boston.
" There is absolutely nothing to say on the usual topics. Have practised law continually for five years, and have done considerable of the other work mentioned on the side — interest- ing, however, to no one except myself, and not especially to me. Have played tennis some, till a champion lady-player from
Fourth Report
Chicago or thereabouts beat me three sets straight, then stopped. My good health I attribute to a fairly clear conscience. All the sons that I have or may have will go to Harvard if I have the price and can make them go. The real and controlling reason is purely sentimental. I have a sort of affection for the old place. A boy takes a lot of chances there. In my opinion there are more drunks and ' chumps ' around Harvard Square and the alleged Bohemian Cafes than there were in '93 — more proportionately. I realize that any '93 man knows this is a strong statement. However, it 's a good deal in the boy, and if he is going to be an ass — Kismet"
PERCY LEE ATHERTON
Born at Boston, 25 September 1871, of William Atherton (merchant) and
Mary Edwards Dwight. Fitted at Phillips Andover. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now composing music at Boston.
" The past five years have slipped by, comparatively unevent- ful, in work at musical composition, with a couple of months' fishing and shooting each fall in Maine and Canada. The sum- mer of 190-1 1 spent in Spain, Sicily, Italy, and Switzerland. . . . Though a contented Bostonian, I felt that a temporary transfer of headquarters would be beneficial, so I essayed the winter and spring of 1905 in New York City, gaining, I believe, consider- able art-impulse therefrom. During the following winter and spring I made a rather comprehensive tour of the Southwest (including Mexico) and the Far West, composing as the spirit and opportunity moved. I indulged in ranching (Texas and Wyoming) ; visited for several weeks an army post and a neighboring mining camp (New Mexico), and investigated, at some leisure, the three great National Reservations, the Grand Canon of Arizona, the Yosemite, and the Yellowstone Park."
WALTER AYER
Born at Chicago, 26 April 1870, of Benjamin Franklin Ayer (lawyer) and
Jennie Amelia Hopkins. Fitted at Brown and Nichols. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now a director at Chicago.
A lawyer, but not engaged in active practice, devoting most of his time to looking after interests he holds in several cor-

porations. Clubs : Chicago Club, University Club, Saddle and Cycle Club, Onwentsia. Interested in automobiling. Unmarried. [Information kindly furnished by F. H. G.]
HENRY BERTHIER BACON
Born at Warren, Massachusetts, 23 April 18G5, of Theodore Fayette Bacon
(mechanic) and Augusta Louise Green. Fitted at New Hampton Literary Institution. Class Status: Special, 1889-90.
Married Emma Marion Eaton at Wentworth, New Hampshire, 14 July 1892. Children:
Theodore Eaton, born 28 November 1894. Marion Augusta, 3 September 1900. Now teaching at the New Hampton Literary Institution, New Hampshire.
" In addition to my work as an instructor, I have devoted much time to the development of our baseball and football teams. This work has given me exercise in the open air, and as a con- sequence my general health has been exceptionally good. I hope my son will go to Harvard, but may not be able to send him there."
WILLIS ADAMS BAILEY
Born at Zanesville, Ohio, 15 August 1870, of Willis Bailey (druggist) and
Caroline Augusta McConnel. Fitted at Phillips Andover. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now President of the Bailey Drug Company at Zanesville, Ohio.
" First of all, I am still unmarried ! I am very fond of out- door things, especially horseback riding. I play a little golf occasionally, but it tries my patience too greatly. I like to con- tribute my mite to charities I am interested in but am too busy to take an active interest in them. I really think I draw an * A ' for general health, due, no doubt, to the inheritance of a good constitution and fair sense in taking care of it. I shall surely send my sons to Harvard if I ever have any. I have recently had a short trip abroad, and hope to travel consider- ably in the next few years."
MORRIS BAKER
Born at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, 2 April 1871, of Reuben Baker and Mary J.
Baker. Fitted at Andover.
Class Status: Special Scientific, 1889-93. Now a civil engineer at Philadelphia.

Fourth Report
" At present I am not making history ; I am simply ' on the j ob.' I am not married, have no children, am no politician, and am simply working."
WALTER FARNSWORTH BAKER
Born at Boston, 11 November 1870, of William Emerson Baker (manufac- turer) and Charlotte Augusta Farnsworth. Fitted at A. Hale's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Died at Bogota, New Jersey, 27 October 1907.
Baker's father was William Emerson Baker, for a long time connected with the Grover and Baker Sewing Machine Company of Boston, and his mother was Charlotte Augusta Farnsworth. He prepared for college at Hale's School, Boston. During his course at Harvard he was greatly interested in rowing, and was coxswain of the Class Crew for several years. He also did some work with the University Crew in practice, and steered the '93 Senior Crew in the memorable Class race on the Charles when Chew broke an oar and jumped out of the boat. He was a member of the Boston University Club, the Harvard Club of New York, the Boston Whist Club, and various golf and coun- try clubs. After graduation he was for a time connected with the Chelsea Clock Company, and later with the Five and Ten Cent Store Company of Boston. He also did some rent collect- ing for his father's estate. Although never very actively en- gaged in business, he took a keen interest in and was well in- formed on financial matters. His mind ran in scientific rather than literary lines, and his reading was mainly confined to scien- tific subjects, particularly psychology and spiritualism.
A mental photograph of our first glimpse of Baker will prob- ably occur to many of us. At the end of Freshman year, when our nine was struggling for the Class championship, he chartered a German band and led it through the yard to Jarvis Field, to help pull out a victory. And then his pump — the miniature facsimile of the old yard pump — which stood for many years in our room in Hollis on Commencement Day, and dispensed amber or crimson liquid! For us, the keynote of his life was his love for Harvard College and the Class of '93. Probably nine-tenths of the Class knew Walter Baker by sight; a great many men were acquainted with him, but few of us really knew him well.
8 Class of 1893
Those who were close to him could not help loving him. They recognized his kindly, genial disposition, his commendable strict- ness in money matters, the absolute lack of malice in Ins charac- ter, coupled with a love of harmless mischief, and his complete open-heartedness. That he was fond of Harvard and the Class is a by-word, substantiated by a clause in his will, whereby he left one-third of his estate to Harvard College. G. C.
WILLIAM FRANCIS BAKER
Born at Springfield, Massachusetts, 13 December 1868, of Henry Kingsley
Baker (railroads) and Abbie Martha Bacon. Fitted at Phillips Exeter. Class Status: Regular A.B.

" Have been with the New York Telephone Company for nearly eleven years, and have been its contract agent for about four years. Live in Montclair, New Jerse}r, where there are several Harvard men, but more Elis. A small and practically unknown trout brook near by has afforded me some sport, but few fish. Farthest distance I have been from home was a trip to Denver two years ago."

Fourth Report
" If a bloomin' thing of any consequence has happened to me since my last report, I do not know what it is. When I make a million, write a novel, or obtain triplets, never fail, I shall report to you at once. Have spent a large part of my spare time in assisting in establishing on a permanent basis the Worcester Tennis Club, of which I have been treasurer since its organization in April, 1907; and if the '93 'rain champions' at the Nahant Quinquennial celebration will ' name the day,' Post has agreed to run up and help them qualify in a ' dry town.'

Barbara, 7 March 1905. Married (2) Lucia Burnett at Los Angeles, California, 27 July 1907. Now Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawaii.
" For the greater part of the time since the last report I have been engaged in practising law in Honolulu, with occasional trips to Washington, to appear before the Supreme Court and Interstate Commerce Commission. My recreations in this land of out-door life are tennis, golf, motoring, mountain climbing, and occasionally polo. I am president of the University Club, — a club of over one hundred and fifty, limited strictly to college men; and also president of the Harvard Club of Hawaii, which meets for an occasional dinner, and maintains a scholarship for Hawaiian men at Harvard. In August 1907 I was appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Hawaii. The court comprises two Harvard men and one Yale man."

io Class of 1893
" In 1903 I was in Constantinople, whore I had been for three years, trying to get from the Sultan permission to excavate a Babylonian ruin city. To assist me in this I had become the private secretary to the American minister to Turkey. When an American official in Turkey was kind enough to be shot at, pressure was brought upon the Sultan, the irade was obtained, and I excavated for the University of Chicago the ruin of Bismya, which concealed the oldest known city in the world. Among several thousand objects discovered was a large marble statue of a king of 4500 b. c. The excavations were continued less than two years, when, fortunately for my health, our camp was robbed, and the Government stopped the work. For one year after my return, in 1905, I was cataloguing and arrang- ing the objects which we had succeeded in getting from Turkish territory ; they are now in the Haskell Museum of the University of Chicago. After President Harper's death my connection with the university ceased, and since then I have been writing and lecturing in various parts of the country."
CHARLES RUSSELL BARDEEN
Born at Kalamazoo, Michigan, 8 February 1871, of Charles William Bar-
deen (publisher) and Ellen Palmer Dickerman. Fitted at Syracuse (New York) High.
Class Status: Special, 1889-90. Joined class Sophomore year. Married Althea Harmer at Chicago, 5 August 1905. Children: William, born 19 April 1906. John, 23 May 1908. Now Dean of the College of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin.
" In September 1904 I moved from Baltimore to Madison to take charge of the newly-established department of anatomy at the University of Wisconsin. In 1907 I was appointed dean of the College of Medicine, established here in that year. I have been busy here with the organization of the department of anat- omy and other departments of the College of Medicine (in which at present merely the first two years of the four-year medical course are offered) with teaching and with scientific work; so that I have had little time for outside interests. I have, however, devoted some time to local interests, such as the Madison Gen- eral Hospital, of which I am a director, and the newly-established University Club, in the organization of which I have played an active part, and of which I am a director and chairman of the House Committee. I shall at all times be glad to ' put up ' there
Fourth Report n
'93 or other Harvard men. I belong to several scientific socie- ties, and am a member of the Executive Committee of the Asso- ciation of American Anatomists. My health has been good. I weigh forty pounds more than when in college. I expect, if possible, to send my two sons to Harvard, although it is some years before they will be ready to go. I think Wisconsin a good university, but I believe it a good thing for a boy to go away from home for his college course, and I want my boys to have the best."
CHARLES LOWELL BARLOW

(lawyer) and Ellen Shaw. Fitted at A. H. Cutler's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising law at Boston.

Betty Amory, born 5 December 190(3. Now manager of brewing company at Albany.
" At the time of my marriage, in 1904, I moved to Ports- mouth, and have lived here since, spending the last two summers over in the benighted state of Maine. In April 1908 I took the management of the Eldredge Brewing Company. My career has not been eventful, and with the exception of two short trips abroad, I have stuck pretty close to my job. I wras elected last year to the New Hampshire Legislature. Of course, in New Hampshire every one who's sane and out of jail goes to the Legislature sooner or later. I believe it 's the largest delibera- tive body in the world — but it is not necessary to advertise that fact. I attribute my good health to the Grace of God and an out-door boyhood. I should send my sons to Harvard." Has now taken position with the Amsdell Brewing Company at Albany.
MURRAY BARTLETT
Born at Poughkeepsie, New York, 29 March 1871, of Stanley Bartlett
(salesman) and Lida Carolina Simpson. Fitted at Riverview Academy, Poughkeepsie. Class Status: A.B. 1892. Married Blanchard Howard Folsom at Buffalo, New York, 15 April 1903.
Child :
Blanchard, born 6 August 1907. Now in Episcopal ministry at Manila.
" Missed decennial reunion for a good reason. Was in Italy on my wedding trip. In the summer of 1906 Mrs. Bartlett and I visited Holland, Belgium, and England. We rooted for Har- vard at the race with Cambridge on the Thames September 8, and received valiant aid from Batchelder. Returned on same steamer with T. Hoppin. Our first child, a daughter, Blanchard, was born in Rochester August 6, 1907. Was a provisional deputy from Diocese of West New York at the General Con- vention in Richmond (October 1907). Received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity June 17, 1908, from the Univer- sity of Rochester. Attended fifteenth reunion of '93 at Cam-

bridge and renewed my youth very successfully. Was also toast-master at the preliminary dinner in New York in April. These, I think, should be yearly affairs. On July 5, the eleventh anniversary of my pastorate in Rochester, I preached my last sermon as rector of St. Paul's Church, having resigned to ac- cept the appointment of rector of the Cathedral at Manila, Philippine Islands. The work is hard but intensely interesting. I am glad I came, because there is more to be done and the need is greater. Tell Moorfield Story and Fiske Warren that I am crazy or else they are. We are doing a good clean job out here, that never can be done without somebody's help, and we must stick to the job and see it through. Hart told us, on his recent visit here, that he did n't think there was a place where Harvard men could do a better chore than here. Thanks !"

" Since the last report have as formerly (for the last thirteen years) been engaged in the practice of law. Much of my time has been profitably devoted to outside interests. Served in the Coun- cil of the Citv of Quincv for six vears ; held the office of chair- man of Committee on Finance for two years."

" Health magnificent till time to get out a class report, — then severe general collapse and cold feet. Continue much interested in music, playing organ, managing choir, and conducting little choral club — all great fun. Charitable work confined mostly to a boys' club (believed to be unique) run on lines of ' Naval Brigade.' Give 'em seamanship instruction and drills in winter, and take 'em out for practical sailing work in summer. Secre- tary's job seems to get harder and harder, but also more and more fascinating. Am especially glad to have calls from out-

Willis, 14 June 1902.
Holland, 2 June 1904. Now in real estate at New York City.
" From the falling off of a very good real estate business, owing to the absolute lack in value that Boston property has reached, I am trying to start all over again in New York, and find it hard sledding. Main out-door interests, shooting and fishing. Health excellent, from lack of necessary funds to make it otherwise. Were I to have my own way, I should be guided largely by the tendencies of my sons as to whether they should go to Harvard or not."

FRANCIS GANO BENEDICT
Born at Milwaukee, 3 October 1870, of Washington Gano Benedict (real
estate) and Harriet Emily Barrett. Fitted at English High (Boston) and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. Class Status: Special, 1889-92. Joined Class Senior year. Married Cornelia Golay at Brewer, Maine, 28 July 1897. Child:
Elizabeth Harriet, born 12 March 1902. Now in physiological research at Boston.
" The past five years have seen a marked change in my life, beginning with my appointment as associate professor of chem- istry at Wesleyan University, followed by the appointment of professor, with simultaneous appointments as physiological chemist of the United States Department of Agriculture, and a research commission from the Carnegie Institution of Wash- ington. The work at Middletown was in large part experi- mental research on the nutrition of man. These researches were carried out with the aid of elaborate apparatus, including a respiration calorimeter in which a healthy man is placed inside of an air-tight box, fitted with appliances for measuring simul- taneously the heat production, carbon dioxide elimination, water elimination, and oxygen consumption. These factors, taken together with elaborate urine and fecal analyses, permit the striking of many important physiological balances. The re- search at Wesleyan was so successful that a year or two ago the Carnegie Institution decided to establish a special laboratory for the furtherance of this work, and in April 1907 I resigned my positions at Wesleyan University and the Department of Agriculture and accepted the directorship of the Nutrition Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. This laboratory, which has a special building on Vila Street, immedi- ately south of the power-house of the Harvard Medical School, is being equipped with every known device for studying physi- ological problems pertaining to the nutrition of man. In con- nection with the equipment of this building and the planning
16 Class of 1893
of future researches, at the request of the Carnegie Institution, I took an extended tour through Europe in the spring and summer of 1907, examining all laboratories where researches in nutrition were being carried out. This tour took me as far south as Buda Pesth, and included St. Petersburg, Helsingfors, and the Scandinavian universities. My out-door interests are confined to motor-boating on Machias Bay during the summer. Since, with the assumption of the directorship of the new labora- tory, my work is wholly research, very little time is left for other public service. My health remains excellent, due, doubtless, to the fact that I carefully avoid practising any nutrition doc- trines, and also to the experience with out-door sleeping obtained during the combating incipient tuberculosis with Mrs. Benedict. Twelve years' experience as professor in a small college has not altered my belief that had I sons they should go to Harvard. While I am inclined to think that it is ninety per cent the young man and ten per cent the institution, for all serious-minded young men certainly no university offers the opportunities that Harvard does."
EDWARD MELLEN BENNETT
Born at Medford, Massachusetts, 5 October 1871, of Theodore Wilbar Ben- nett (merchant) and Anna Brown Mellen. Fitted at W. Nichols's.
Class Status: Entered with '94. Joined Class Junior year. Now practising law at Boston.
" I have been practising law with an office in Boston, and have been a member of the school committee of the Town of Wayland, Massachusetts. As to out-door interests, while I have played baseball some, tennis has been my favorite game, and I have played a good deal. While I may have led a fairly strenu- ous life, I think I should be called a very healthy person. Being still unmarried, I have not thought much about where my sons should go to college, but should I have any to send, I should send them to Harvard as the best."
GUY BROWN BENNETT
Born at Owatonna, Minnesota, 27 October 1871, of Leonard Loomis Ben- nett (banker) and Arabella Fidelia Brown. Fitted at Owatonna High.
Class Status: Special, 1889-92. Joined Class Senior year. Married Winifred Fay Niles at Owatonna, 30 June 1900. Now bank cashier at Owatonna, Minnesota.
Fourth Report 17
" Have held down position of cashier of The National Farmers' Bank of Owatonna since the last report. Have served as a mem- ber of the School Board for the past four years, and have been quite active in local politics. My motive for going into local politics is a desire to improve conditions and have a clean town. Take some time every summer for sailing and motor-boating. Am a member and officer of our local Civic League, which I would class under charitable and public service work (unpaid). My general health is distressingly good. I cannot attribute this to any other cause than the excellent care my good wife takes of me. If we ever should be fortunate enough to have a son he will go to Harvard, because he can get more out of Harvard than from any other university in the world. During the last two years we have been engaged in erecting a new bank building, which is being recognized all over the country as something out of the ordinary. If any of my former classmates are interested, shall be pleased to have them write about it."
RALPH WILHELM BERGENGREN
Born at Gloucester, Massachusetts, 2 March 1871, of Frederic Wilhelm
Alexis Bergengren (physician) and Caroline Francis Boynton. Fitted at Lynn High.
Class Status: Special 1889-91. Joined Class Junior year. Married Anna Farquhar at Boston, 26 January 1900. Now journalistic writer at Boston.
" True enough, no readable report can be * constructed out of a few stock phrases ' — and there, neatly epitomized, you have five years out of the life of a man who lives by magazine and newspaper stories and the fugitive editorial, joke, verse, or other miscellany. A certain number of adventures of the mind ; an uncertain income ; a degree of personal independence that allows considerable time in the open, and so makes for pretty good health. No unpaid charitable or public service, if we take the term literally ; but a fair general effort, editorially and other- wise, to help keep the world moving in the right direction. Theoretically I should send my son (if I had any) to Harvard, because of its disadvantages — in other words, because it is so big and elective ; but I should try to start the youth in the direc- tion of taking advantage of these qualities. The cosmopolitan- ism of Harvard is an education in itself, but it seriously needs
more of a ' state of mind ' on the part of sub-Freshmen."

Charles Edgar, 10 March 1902.
Lyman, 15 September 1903.
Frances, 17 September 1906. Now President Billings-Clapp Company, manufacturing chemists, at Boston.
" The man with a largo family and an active business finds his time well taken up by these two interests. He must leave the ornamental side of life and the work for public advancement to those with more money or less family. If he can bring up three or four boys to be good citizens he is doing his share. — This is my excuse for not having any public achievement to submit to '93. But our fifteenth reunion was surely the real thing! It meant a great deal to me, and I am already looking forward to 1913. All praise to Nutter and his committee."
RUDOLPH MICHAEL BINDER
Born at Hetzeldorf, Hungary, 11 March 1865, of Johann Binder (farmer)

Class Status: Freshman, 1891-92; Senior, 1892-93. Now lecturer in sociology at New York University.
" Received the Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1903 in sociology, psychology, and philosophy. Resigned assistantship in St. Bartholomew's Church, New York City, in April 1906, and
Fourth Report 19
went to New York University as lecturer in sociology. Had seven students that year. In 1907-8 I had thirty-five students, sixty-nine in 1908—9, and one hundred and thirty this year. In June 1907 I entered the office of W. D. P. Bliss, editor of the ' Encyclopedia of Social Reform,' and was in due time made as- sistant editor of the second edition, appearing April 1908. This work has been of great value to me in my sociological studies. But of even greater value was my connection with the United States Bureau of Labor in connection with a special investiga- tion into Woman and Child Labor. I worked for five months altogether, in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash- ington ; but found the latter place too hot and the work of tab- ulation too dull, and resigned July 31, 1908, in order to accept a position as secretary of the American Institute of Social Ser- vice. I am not an athlete, although I enjoy very good health, owing to abstinence from drink. Have been too busy to take up any out-door sports, except golf and swimming occasionally. Walking is my chief recreation ; but should dearly love to row or sail, if I had time. On the whole, the world has treated me well, and I am contented. My only trouble is that I am still single, as I have not found Miss Right. A fairly well educated girl of between twenty-five and thirty years would suit me — pref- erably a blonde, as I am dark. I should like to have a good- looking girl, although I am far removed from that definition. It was a source of grief to me not to be at the fifteenth anni- versary of my Class ; but my connection with the United States Government as Special Agent into the conditions of Woman and Child Labor forbade that."
RALPH BISBEE
Born at Jacksonville, Florida, 11 December 1870, of Horatio Bisbee (lawyer)
and Martha Florida Flotard. Fitted at Phillips Exeter. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising law at New York City.
" During the greater part of the last five years I have been so intimately associated with the affairs of a man some time of prominence in ' financial circles ' that a detail of my doings might involve a breach of confidence. During that time I have twice revisited the Pacific Coast for more or less extended
20 Class of 1893
periods. Three days of that period I have been compelled to spend in Chicago ; a great deal of it I have spent in the moun- tains of western North Carolina. In April 1907 I became a member of the law firm of MacFarland, Taylor & Costello, at 63 Wall Street — the safest address for you to make note of. During the past year or more I have enjoyed some of the prac- tices of the law in which I have been permitted to participate. For the most part, my life otherwise has been so prudent, cau- tious, and chaste (I had almost said chased) as to make very dull chronicling. No simple-minded female orphan of great wealth has as yet proclaimed her inability to live without me. P.S. Rent is still a damned nuisance, and I get so tired moving."
DEXTER BLAGDEN
Born at New York City, 8 October 1870, of George Blagden (broker) and
Frances Meredith Dexter. Fitted at A. H. Cutler's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now banker and broker at New York City.
" At the time of the last report I was a member of the firm of Rhoades & Richmond, Bankers and Brokers. That firm dis- solved partnership, and on April 1, 1906, I became a partner in the firm of Charles Head and Company. I am unmarried, as the photograph taken at the Quindecennial shows, and the usual question, shall I send my sons to Harvard or Yale, has not wor- ried me yet. You know my feeling towards Yale, so that ques- tion will answer itself if the time ever comes."
CHARLES ARTHUR BLAKE
Born at Boston, 26 January 1872, of John George Blake (physician) and
Mary Elizabeth McGrath. Fitted at Boston Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now in insurance at Boston.
" Am still plugging away at the insurance business. Take interest in almost all sorts of out-door sports, especially yacht- ing, swimming, and horseback riding. I have once in a while attempted to amuse a few unhappy sailors in a society made for badgering the poor fellows when they come ashore. I am still hopelessly healthy, which I attribute to a love of plain food, sleep, a fondness for everything in the open air away from
Fourth Report 21
the city, and a clear conscience. If I have sons I shall certainly send them to Harvard, as I cannot conceive of any other place as good. And I hope to continue through life loving my neigh- bor as myself."

" Since graduating have spent much time in travelling. 1893-9-t went round the world, visiting Japan, China, Strait Settlements, Java, Burma, India, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, etc. ; 1895-98, 1905, went again to Japan and China; 1896-98-99, 1901-2 spent largely on Continent. In 1902 went to Europe to live and have remained there, with annual trips to America in summer. Address is * Les Rochers,' Cap Martin, A. M. France."

Was married in 1902, and since then have made my permanent home in Lenox, Massachusetts. Have two daughters, aged two and five. Have done some big game shooting in the Rockies and Canada. Favorite sports shooting and lawn tennis. Am serving this year as a select- man of Lenox."

" Have been plugging away at the law, nothing startling hap- pening. Was in Boston in summer of 1906, and called on sec- retary, but he was attending the Harvard-Cambridge race in England. Am fond of golf and tennis, and also baseball, being substitute on Harvard team of Seattle, which plays the Yale team every year. Belong to the Seattle Golf and Country Club, Seattle University Club, and Seattle Athletic Club. If I had any sons, would certainly send them to Harvard, as I believe it is by far the best place ; and I feel pretty competent to j udge, on account of contact with men from almost every college in the country. My general health is good, although I am taking on too much weight, weighing now over one hundred and ninety pounds."
HENRY SPRING BLAKE

Fourth Report 23
" I have undergone many changes during the past six years. As Superintendent of the Educational Alliance, New York City, an institution for the Americanization of foreigners, I came in contact with people of different shades of opinion and different social strata. On October 1, 1907, I resigned my position as Superintendent of the Alliance and have become manager of the Houston Street Branch of the Jefferson Bank. This was a radical change. Instead of dealing as heretofore with ideal- ists, or so-called dreamers who sought my assistance, I am now coming in contact with people who have a materialistic view of life but who have helped themselves, and have, so to say, built up their own fortunes. I nevertheless feel that I am greatly benefited by the new experience in life. I shall, through this, become better balanced myself. Experience in banking just during the year of a financial crisis, while from a financial point of view was not satisfactory, was to me a great lesson in economics. Though I have resigned from the Alliance, I am still interested in social work, and am dividing my time between banking and communal work. In a general way I wish to say that my character during the past five years has become more and more settled. As to my out-door interest, I am altogether indifferent as to this, probably due to my early training in Russia and public life in America. Considering the fact that I take little if no interest in out-door life, and that I work hard and always am before the public eye, my health is in a pretty good condition. I ascribe it to the fact that I am moderate in eating and drinking, and do not dissipate my energies on what are called social functions."
WILLIAM MILLER BOOTH

" My business has grown steadily. I am very glad that the change from teaching to my own chosen work was made, and only regret that this change was not made sooner. As a member of the Harvard Club, I acted as chairman of a committee ap- pointed to solicit funds for free summer concerts in the parks in this city. We raised one thousand dollars and had eight
24 Classofi8g3
concerts, with an average attendance of four thousand people. The city carries on the work this year with fourteen concerts. We held four winter concerts, which were well attended. I have acted as treasurer (1904-5) and secretary (1905—6) of our Engineers Club — 150 members; director of Harvard Club, treasurer of American Institute of Chemical Engineers, presi- dent of Central New York Section American Chemical Society, member social clubs with Mrs. Booth, and of the Harvard En- gineers Club. We have been very well, and I feel that my pro- posal in 1896 was not a mistake."

" In 1903 I was in charge of the construction of a large hydro-electric plant near Redding, California. After the com- pletion of this work in 1904 I was engaged as expert in Irri- gation Investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture, and spent two years on this work in Southern Texas and in the North Atlantic States. I returned to San Francisco in time for the earthquake and fire, and opened an office here just in time to have it burned up. Since then I have been en- gaged in engineering work and in the manufacture of electrical

switches and lightning arresters of my designs for large power plants. I have often heard in the East that things in the West were always on a large scale. Well, we had the greatest fire in the world's history here, and now we are putting in the finest fire-fighting system on record. I am at present connected with this work. I have published several articles in the engineering press in the last few years, and also a book entitled ' Practical Irrigation.' The Department of Agriculture published the re- sults of my work for them in Bulletin No. 158, Separate No. 6, ' Irrigation in Southern Texas ' ; and in Bulletin No. 167, ' Irri- gation in the North Atlantic States,' of the Office of Experiment Stations."

" The most important occurrences in my life since the last report are the birth of my two children and the changing of my profession from that of teacher of English to educational
26 Class of i8g3
editor. My children have not only broadened and deepened my home life, but have modified my whole relation to the world. The change in my profession is in large measure the result of the coming of my children. They have made me realize as never before that a man's duty to his family is vastly more important than duty to an educational institution, or to the cause of edu- cation in general. I have lost all patience and respect for the well-to-do and often wealthy trustees and well-paid heads of educational institutions who try to make young men believe that it is their duty to take what they can get in the way of salary from such institutions ' for the good of the cause,' regard- less of the rights of the mothers and children. It seems to me that it is time for common sense and not sentimentality to be brought into play in considering the salary aspect of the teacher."

I hold no public office, nor am I a director or officer in any semi-public institutions. My pri- vate life has been uneventful, and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed most excellent health. As I have been much in the West during the past two years, you must excuse my neglect of your past inquir}\ I am also most sorry to state that I missed my class reunion last year for the same reason."

" Since 1893 I have been connected with the United States Mortgage and Trust Company, New York; secretary of the Company since the last report, and now vice-president. This has kept me pretty well confined and prevented much activity in out-of-door sports. My summer holidays have all been de- voted to travel, having made two trips to Europe and one to Honolulu and Japan during the past five years. Have not engaged in any public or charitable work. General health ex- cellent until May 1908, when an attack of scarlet fever prevented me from attending the reunion at Cambridge. I attribute my health to my temperate life, love of fresh air, and not too hard work. Shall undoubtedly send my sons to Harvard, although I have not given the matter serious consideration yet."

28 Class of 1893
" An unusually arduous, general practice, with very little vacation, on top of my hospital life, very nearly undermined my health in 1902-3. I then went to England and Scotland for three months and came back in wonderful health, since which time I have taken a long vacation every two years. In 1905 I went to Alaska, and spent two months in going through the Canadian Rockies, the foothills of Mount Baker, in Washington, and down to Portland, Oregon. Last year I spent a month in Switzerland, and another month in France, Germany, and Hol- land. To me, the value of such travel from the point of view of health and of education is unspeakable. My daily life is ab- sorbingly interesting. I have a distinctly general practice, but holding an appointment as assistant surgeon at a thoroughly equipped, modern, and busy hospital, I am able to keep in touch with modern progress in surgery, and to get much to do in operative work. Except for my actual vacation, I get rather little out of my routine work. In the fall I get considerable tennis, and usually go off snow-shoeing for a week every winter. The rest of the time not devoted to work is fragmentary and given up to social, church, or occasionally musical things."

" Until about two years ago, when motor cars became so numerous, I rode horseback considerably, and before that used to play tennis and golf, but regret to say that I have since given up out-door sports. My general health has been good, and I

I have also been interested in and a director of the Eastern Steel Company of Pennsylvania, Windsor Trust Company of New York, United National Bank of Troy, New York, O'Rouke Engineering Construction Company, and the Port Henry Iron Ore Company. I have taken some trips into Canada after the moose and deer. My usual recreation in the spring is polo and tennis. My health has been good, owing largely to plenty of out-door exercise, hard walking when there is nothing else to do. I shall send my sons to Harvard because I feel that it offers the best general education to be had in this country."

partments has doubled the attendance at Middlebury College and made it necessary to divide into two or three divisions some of my classes formerly taught in a single division. Fewer hours have been available for my own researches. We have been hoping that the urgent need of the college would bring donations which would make possible the employment of another to take half my work. I am now promised that I shall have help next year. My sons are each five years older and still four in number. I should like my boys to have the opportunities I found at Har- vard, but the local college is good also, and I have always had to regard the cost."

Elizabeth, born 17 January 1904. Now practising and teaching medicine at Boston.
" I have continued along about same work : practising medi- cine when occasion offered ; teaching anatomy at Harvard Medi- cal School, and lecturing from time to time on medical subjects. Have written several zmimportant articles on medical, anatomi- cal, and military-medical subjects; as well as translated a num- ber of others for a military surgical journal. Having served seven years in Massachusetts Volunteer Militia as assistant surgeon, I have now resigned. As for political service, none to my share. As for charitable work, all doctors in a city have that, and I have done a share, both in the lower or poverty dis- tricts of Boston as well as visiting physician or surgeon to one small hospital and an Old Ladies' Home. There 's a lot of such work to do ! As for out-door interests, I am seeing more and more the pleasure, the wisdom, the necessity of such for those whose life falls in a big, noisy city ; and when [my] children are growing up, the country, with fresh air, sunlight, and out- door life, is essential to best development of health. For myself, occasional golf, much automobiling, some camping, and much walking contribute to good health. About that question of ' the boy and what college,' I 'm in doubt. Freshman classes at Har-

" I have attended pretty closely to practice of law in Boston, at 30 Court Street, with some measure of success, taking only sufficient out-door recreation to keep myself in most excellent health. My son and my daughter are candidates for Harvard and Radcliffe respectively, because they are the best institutions of learning in America."
GUY STEVENS CALLENDER

Everett, born 10 April 1905. Now Professor of Economics at Yale.
" You will not expect a detailed account since the last report when I say that I began the period with an illness due to ner- vous derangement, which has hampered me in my work during the entire five years, but has not as yet prevented me from doing the minimum work required of a university professorship — Economics, in Yale. I am not at all anxious to send my son to Harvard or any other big university, with the vast interest of students there in athletics and social affairs and their small interest in the curriculum. He would be much better off in a small college like Bowdoin or Williams, getting his taste of university life (which has come to be a part of the big world) later, when he is more mature. The comparatively small number
3
34 Classofi8g3
of Harvard men here at Yale, and of Yale men on the Harvard faculty, coupled with the intense rivalry of the two institutions in athletics, has resulted in the most absurd mutual misunder- standings among the students and alumni which could possibly be imagined. What could be a more striking example of this than that article in the Graduates' Magazine of a few years ago on Yale athletics? I should like to say for the benefit of my classmates that after spending eight years at Harvard and five at Yale, I think the notion that athletics occupy a more promi- nent place here than at Harvard is based on ignorance of real conditions here and on long-distance observation. Perhaps this sort of thing is inevitable among the undergraduates, so long as we keep up the kind of fierce athletic rivalry that now exists, but it does seem as if the alumni might ' grow up ' in this re- spect, so that such articles as the one referred to might not be printed, nor indeed written."

" Have taken a limited interest in politics and active interest in town affairs, but up to this year have not held any office, ex- cept on the Republican Town Committee. Last March was elected on the School Board, and as Superintendent of Schools have already found more trouble than I ever dreamed of before. Have always had an interest in boys' clubs, and have been elected first president of the ' Castine Fraternity,' an organization simi- lar to the Young Men's Christian Association, which has just been formed here. My health is excellent, due, no doubt, to the ' simple life ' we all have to lead in Castine. Am interested in all out-door sports, but do not have much opportunity to in- dulge in any except tennis. Have two sons who expect to go to Harvard, because that university is by far the best in the country."
FREDERICK JAY CARR
Born at New Lisbon, Wisconsin, 13 March 1869, of Willard P. Carr (real

Class Status: Special, 1889-90; with Class Sophomore year. Married Ada Couch Elwell at Brooklyn, 21 April 1892. Now bank cashier at Hudson, Wisconsin.
" Have resided in Hudson, Wisconsin, for the past ten years as cashier of the Bank of Hudson, and during this time the events that have happened to me are such as would in the ordi- nary course of things happen to the average citizen. Have served a term on our School Board, also Public Library Board, and during the year 1907 served as president of the Wisconsin Bankers' Association. As to general health, it is excellent, owing, I think, to fondness for out-door sports, — hunting, trout fishing, and autoing are my specialities. If I had any sons I would surely send them to Harvard ; but not having any, the next best thing is to assist some of my nephews to attend, and
36 Classofi8g3
I hope later on to see some of them at Harvard. Why Har- vard? Because, in a word, I think it the best place, and for the further reason of my own personal attachment and association with it."

Alcuin Thomson, 30 December 1908. Died 4 March 1909 at Orono, Maine.
Was born at Hampstead, New Hampshire, January 15, 1870. After attending the high school of his native town, he entered the Phillips Exeter Academy (1886), where he soon gave evidence of exceptional ability and faithfulness as a stu- dent. In 1890 he entered the Freshman Class at Harvard, and by dint of close application to his studies, fulfilled the require- ments for the A.B. degree magna cum laude in three years. He then continued his study of Germanic Philology in the Har- vard Graduate School, and received the degree of A.M. in 1891. From 1894 to 1897 he was classical master at the St. Bartholo- mew's School, at Morristown, New Jersey, and in the fall of 1897 he was matriculated at the University of Leipzig, where he received the degree of Ph.D. in 1899. On his return to America he became a substitute instructor in German in Rad- cliffe College, from which position he was called to the profes- sorship of Germanic Languages at the University of West Virginia. In 1901 he resigned this position to accept the pro- fessorship of English and Modern Languages at the University of Arkansas, where he remained five years, filling his position with high credit to himself and to the university. In 1906 Dr. Carr became professor of Germanic Languages at the Uni- versity of Maine, which position he held at the time of his death, March 4, 1909. During his residence in Arkansas he became a frequent contributor to " Dialect Notes," being engaged, with other scholars, in the compilation of a " Dictionary of Ameri-

canisms." He had recently been elected President of the Ameri- can Dialect Society.
Dr. Carr was one of those men who were obliged to struggle against financial obstacles in securing an education. The re- sult, however, was strength of character and a most earnest purpose in life. He was actively interested in the work of the St. George's Episcopal Church at Orono, Maine, and was influ- ential in the formation of a St. George's Society among the students of the university. He was also an active member of the Masonic order, being a Knight Templar. Those who knew him, whether as classmate, friend, or instructor, will re- member him as a man of great intellectual ability, of genuine culture, and of deep convictions of duty. Dr. Carr married Miss Florence Ange Hollister, of New York City, in December 1900, who, with four children, — Bradshaw, Katharine, William Hollister, and Alcuin, — survives him.

" On September 1, 1903, I was made assistant professor of Zoology in Harvard, and have confined myself pretty closely to the duties of that office ever since. These have consisted of teaching and investigation. My special field of study is hered- ity. In this I have made use of a colony of guniea-pigs, rabbits, rats, and mice, kept in the rear wing of Lawrence Hall. The results of my investigations have been published principally in the Publications of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and in the journal Science.

Born at Philadelphia, 28 April 1871, of Samuel Chew (treasurer) and Mary- Johnson Brown. Fitted at St. Paul's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising law at Philadelphia.
" After several years in the city solicitor's office, in which I had a very pleasant and easy education in accident and contracts law, I left, both because the field did not stretch much further, except in the office work (I having been occupied entirely in court work) ; and also because my position seemed to involve an active interest in local politics, which had become distasteful to me. Since then I have been in the office of Innes & Williams, doing a general business, more commercial and land damage cases against the city and local trolleys than anything else. These we have had a great many of — or at least ones involv- ing large amounts and requiring many meetings and much tes- timony. I hunt the fox six months every year once a week at least, weather permitting or not. I live in town three months and country suburbs nine months. Been to Mexico bear hunt- ing two months in one year. I have a small sail-boat in Buz- zard's Bay. Been to Europe twice for two months."

DONALD CHURCHILL
Born at Andover, Massachusetts, 20 May 1870, of John Wesley Churchill
(clergyman) and Mary Jane Donald. Fitted at Phillips Andover. Class Status: A.B. 1894 as of 1893. Married Harriott Boss Pearce at Mansfield, Massachusetts, 7 September
1904. Child:
Harriott Boss, 29 September 1907. Died 27 November 1909, at Providence.
Donald Churchill's death shocked a community in which he was recognized as one of the ablest of the younger surgeons. The circumstances of his fatal illness seemed peculiarly cruel. He performed a very slight operation without anaesthetics upon a brother physician at the Rhode Island Hospital. As the latter pulled away his finger in pain Dr. Churchill's finger was cut. Blood poisoning resulted and then death, the second fatality of its kind within a few weeks among the surgeons at the hospital.
" Don " Churchill had made a name for himself by patient and conscientious work. He began the study of medicine after a long illness in the hospital about which his professional career centred from first to last. He built up a large general practice, was active in the several local medical societies, and earned the most coveted surgical appointment in Rhode Island. Members of his profession gladly acknowledged his thorough and often brilliant work, and when he died, the Providence papers expressed the conviction that the city had lost a surgeon who had accomplished much and gave promise of several decades of valued service.
He was a member of the American Medical Association, The Massachusetts Medical Society, The Rhode Island Medical So- ciety, being a member of the House of Delegates, The Provi- dence Medical Association, which society he served as secre- tary in 1904-5, The Clinical Club, The University Club, The Harvard Club of Rhode Island, and The Rhode Island Hospital Club. Among his published medical articles are " Appendicitis at the Rhode Island Hospital in 1891-1900," " The "Early History of Medicine in Rhode Island," " The History of Small Pox in Rhode Island," " Treatment of General Purulent Peri- tonitis," and " Gastric Surgery," all of which appeared in the Providence Medical Journal. His last literary work was an interesting and instructive paper on " Fracture-Dislocations of
Fourth Report 41
the Head of the Humerus," which he read before a recent meet- ing of the Providence Medical Association.
Those who knew " Don " Churchill in college can understand that in his later years he was ever a candid and cheery friend with marked intensity of purpose and an ever-present sense of the joy of living. He radiated cheerfulness. Loyal to Har- vard and with a fine capacity for friendship, interested in the success of all his classmates, it can truly be said of him that he " made good " and reflected in his all too short career credit upon the college and the Medical School alike. " The class is getting old enough now," he said about a year ago, " so that it will be judged by how well the fellows are doing the work they set out to do." No surgeon of his years in Rhode Island had done his daily work more successfully than he did his.
On September 7, 190-1, he married Miss Harriott Boss Pearce, who, with a two-year-old daughter, survives him. His mother, Mrs. John Wesley Churchill, and his brother, Marlboro Churchill, an officer in the United States Army, also survive him. F. R. M.

Shall send our son Kirk to Harvard because I consider that the best university in this country. Always in condition, because I lead the simple life. Value health above all, and believe every man should keep up athletics as long as he lives."

" I came to New York from Boston about six years ago, to take charge of Gordon House, a new settlement for men and boys. I was given full swing in planning the building, which cost about one hundred thousand dollars. Aside from one group of young men and boys, I also planned the different clubs and classes and all the various activities incident to settlement work. In 1904, in addition to my settlement work, I became one of the secretaries of the City Club, taking charge of the various cam- paigns — eight in all — which the club successfully carried on with the co-operation of various civic societies, against the Inter- Borough and Brooklyn Rapid Transit Companies, in their ap- plications for certain franchises. It was great fun, for it presented many dramatic situations. After a year's work at the City Club, I became secretary to the Commissioner of Health. In this position I was able to see the Tammany wheels go round. I knew every leader by sight and the maj ority of them quite well. About one year ago I resigned my post in the Department of Health and became General Fiscal Agent for the Diamond Core Drilling Company. I have opened an office at 62 Liberty Street, and now propose to abandon social work as a profession, and simply try to make money. I am very fond of sailing and tennis, but I put in most of my leisure on the golf links. I think I have the distinction of having the oldest son of '93. He is fourteen years old, and I propose to send him to Harvard. I believe in the much maligned ' Harvard culture ' ; in the spirit of free inquiry and the sense of fair play which prevails there ; in the wonderful appeal to the imagination made by Harvard tradi- tions. Incidentally, I believe in certain important particulars the New Harvard is better than the Old Harvard. The present student body demands more than ever before that the best men shall represent the university, irrespective of social distinctions. The thrill of the boat race and the baseball victory is still upon me, and so I am constrained to prophesy that the youngster
Fourth Report 43
who goes to Harvard during the next ten years will have more than his share of joy in watching victories on field and water. A conclusion not to be despised : betting on Harvard in my day might not inappropriately be described as rash patriotism ; when my son gets to college it may turn out to be a good business proposition."

Have continued as director of The Keewaydin Camps for Boys, Lake Temagami, Canada, where we had one hundred and sixty- five last summer. Am president of Jefferson Hotel and Land Company (Waumbek Hotel, White Mountains). General health first class, due, I think, to out-door life at camp. I expect to send my boy to Harvard for more reasons than you would have the patience to read or the space to print."

genial. We have four Harvard men here, including Manley '93. I am actively engaged in the work of the Presb}rterian Brother- hood of our church, being its secretary. We are engaged at present in some Home Mission work. During the past two years my out-door interests have been in taking long walks in this beautiful region. This summer I am actively engaged in out-of-door work, and spend virtually twenty-four hours a day out of doors, as I also sleep in the open. Hence continued good health. If I stay at Marietta, I shall expect my boy to attend college here, but should like him to take a graduate course at Harvard."

Sarah Roberts, born 29 January 1901. David Duke, 20 September 1902. Now practising medicine at East Dorset, Vermont.
" Practised medicine in East Arlington until the spring of 1906. Went to Charlottesville, Virginia, for the summer, and passed 'State Board' (that is, got license to practise in Virginia by passing examinations), but was called back to Ver- mont by death of my father. This left no one on the ancestral acres but my mother. So I took up permanent abode where five generations of Cochranes have lived. Here I practise medicine to a limited extent and try to keep the farm from losing all possible value by ' runnin' down.' A great place for the kids (two) and their parents to grow healthy and sassy — which they do. Hope is in me to jump into the arena before three
Fourth Report 45
more years are gone, and do something — perhaps make a splash. Also I hope to be able to send David Duke Cochrane (now almost eight) to Harvard, — but not to learn to be useless, — God willing."

Was in charge of the music courses at the summer school of 1903. In the fall was appointed associate professor of music at Smith, where composed and directed a melodrama, " Sakun- tala." Devoted next two years to study of music in graduate school, and in June 1905 received degree of Ph.D. in music, the first ever bestowed by Harvard, on the thesis " The Development of the Modern Orchestra." Spent next two years abroad. Pro- duced grand opera, " Zenobia," at Bremen, December 2, 1905 ; repeated at Copenhagen, etc. Has now returned to this country, and is living in Troy, New York, continuing musical work.

EDWARD RUSSELL COFFIN
Born at Lynn, 28 July 1873, of Charles Albert Coffin (General Electric
Company) and Caroline Louise Russell. Fitted at Lynn High. Class Status: Regular A.B. Died at Omaha, 2 September 1907.
Edward Russell Coffin died at Omaha, Nebraska, on Septem- ber 2, 1907. A short time before, when apparently in the best of health, he had started on a business trip through the West. While traveling, he was attacked by a severe intestinal trouble, and the surgical operation, which was performed as quickly as possible, proved unavailing. He was one of the youngest men in the Class, having just passed his thirty-fourth birthday. A graduate of the Harvard Law School, he practised his profes- sion for a few years in Boston, and was later a member of the
46 Classofi8g3
legal department of the General Electric Company at Schenec- tady. At the time of his death, and for some years previously, he was vice-president and manager of the Electrical Securities Corporation of New York City. His record, from his boyhood onward, demonstrated his certainty of success in whatever he undertook, and he had before him a career of distinction.
Yet, however long he might have lived, the story of his achievements in the world of affairs would have disclosed but little of his remarkable personality. He was a man of the widest interests. Fond of foreign travel, he had been able f requently to gratify his inclinations in this respect, and he had a lively appre- ciation of all that was best in literature and art. But it was in his relations with others that his salient characteristics most clearly showed themselves. He had a positive genius for friend- ship and a wonderful hold upon the affections of his contempo- raries. To his intimates words must always seem inadequate to describe the personal charm which so distinguished him. Its basis lay in the rare combination of a brilliant mind with a warm, affectionate heart and a generous nature, in which was no alloy of envy, self-seeking, or pretence. The unaffected genial- ity of his manner toward all, his witty and entertaining talk, his keen sense of humour, and his whole-souled merriment made him the most welcome of companions. More than that, he was the truest and most unselfish of friends. In the midst of con- stantly broadening opportunities and increasing success, his devotion to his earlier companions never faltered. Among them, and among the many friends of his later years as well, Iris place was unique and can never be filled.

GILMAN COLLAMORE
Born at New York City, 25 December 1871, of Gilman Collamore (mer- chant) and Mary Alethea Jenkins. Fitted at Wilson and Kellogg's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now in commission business at New York City.
" For the past three years I have been connected in business with my uncle, Andre L. Causse, an exporting and importing commission broker at 105 Hudson Street, New York City. Mr. Causse is the New York agent for foreign houses dealing in dried fruits, olive oil, nursery plants, etc. I am still interested in athletics and follow sports carefully, though taking no active
Fourth Report 47
part in them, except during my summer vacation, when I play tennis and golf, with now and then a little baseball. At other times my exercise consists in walking and billiards. The writ- ing of letters on football has given me considerable amusement. Several of these effusions have been published in the New York Morning Sun during the past few years. The dramatic stage and music especially still have their attractions. During the spring of 1908 Thayer Robb, William F. Baker, and myself got up a '93 dinner in New York, as a preliminary to the celebra- tion in June. The New York dinner has since become an annual event. The work on the committee is a labor of love, from which I derive genuine pleasure. The meeting, talking, and commu- nicating with men whom I do not see often is exceedingly re- freshing and stimulating. A report of the dinner of 1908 has been published, and a souvenir of the dinner of 1909 will shortly make its appearance. I am not married and see no immediate prospect of tying up. My only regret at being a bachelor is that under the circumstances I have no sons preparing to go to college, for to Harvard they would certainly go. One word more. For the past ten years I have sat at the head of a club table in a corner of Browne's Chop House, 1424* Broadway. Many '93s have joined me there from time to time, but I am ever hungering for more. Come in, boys, any evening, at seven o'clock, ask for Collamore, and you will be ushered back to the table, where it will be my delight to admit you to the bar and offer you the freedom of the city."
[The secretary must add a word of acknowledgment, however inadequate, for Colly's potent aid in drumming up the " slug- gards " for this report. Thanks to his zeal and pertinacity many a classmate makes a decent showing in these pages who would otherwise be simply " not heard from."]

Now in Congregational ministry at Bangor, Maine.
" Have been pegging away in the work of the ministry, more and more conscious of the great opportunity it affords, increas-
48 Classofi8g3
ingly conscious of falling short of my ideal. Am satisfied that, taken in good faith, there is no calling equal to it for opportun- ity of service on the one hand or for real self-development on the other. Three years ago last June I came to Bangor, Maine, as minister of Hammond Street Congregational Church. I re- tain my interest in Harvard and ever shall. Had I sons, and were they fairly mature in character, I should send them there. Have fairly good health, due to steadiness in decent habits, a good deal, I think. Recreations? Walking, fishing, tennis. I rejoice in Harvard's victories in athletics. Wish they came a trifle oftener ! "

As trustee of local Public Library, have pleasure of trying to buy books to suit many tastes with little money. My health is good. I expect to send my son to Harvard because I believe the best opportunities are offered there."

CHARLES EMERSON COOK

Married Grace E. Greenwood at New York City, 3 April 1900. Now theatrical manager at New York City.
" There is no change in Cook's business connection, excepting that, as David Belasco's general representative, he is now the manager of two theatres instead of one, meaning the Stuyvesant as well as the Belasco. His many duties in connection with the business end of the theatre have left little time for authorship ; nevertheless, since the last report, he has added to his list of successful productions the comic opera ' Red Feather,' written in collaboration with Reginald De Koven and produced at the Lyric Theatre, New York ; and the romantic opera, ' The Rose of the Alhambra,' written with Lucius Hosmer and produced at the Majestic Theatre, New York. The former, in which Grace Van Studdiford starred, was played throughout the coun- try for four years ; the latter, with Lillian Blauvelt, was suc- cessful two years. He organized the theatrical business men, controlling large interests, into their first successful club, known as The Friars, and is their abbot, or president. He is also a member of the Harvard Club of New York, The Lambs, The Players, the Pen Club, the American Dramatists' Club, and the Masonic Club."

" The topics of the * yellow page ' rouse more than a per- functory interest in me, and my answers to them would be more readable than answers to the topics here — for the reason that
Fourth Report 51
those answers would be red-hot. However, I would not send a son of mine to Harvard were I not confident that he would out- grow the social narrowness there prevalent. Harvarditis, if unchecked by broad, wide human sympathy, is an acute form of that spiritual malady which, becoming chronic, is snobbery. The Harvard men I have come in contact Avith since the last report strike me as strangely untouched by the great moral and intel- lectual movements of modern times. They have stock opinions, class opinions. They do not seem to have looked at the world with eyes of their own. I think they do ' wear glasses ' — made in 1850. The glasses worn at Yale seem to be of vet earlier date. The literature of Harvard profs is immature, — the litera- ture of men living in an eddy, not in the main stream. Can you imagine a revoluntionist coining out at Harvard? Not without outgrowing Harvard. Not enough men do it. I imagine you as raising your eyebrows at my stuff here — as at one outside the pale. Perhaps. But the world outside the pale is wide, and the world inside of it is narrow."

Three years ago I was invited to preach at Stanford University (I was there in 1893 and 1894), and was an object of interest as an aged alumnus, who could recall the early days of the university eleven years before..

" Most of my time has been taken up by routine of law work. I made one trip to the Pacific Coast and many to the Rocky Mountains and the Black Hills, and saw much of the country between the Canadian line and the Rio Grande. Also frequently visited the Gulf country, between lower end of Florida and Mexico. Occasional trips to Washington, District of Columbia, and the east. My health has been uniformly good, a good for- tune due chiefly to inheritance. Much can also be credited to my mode of life, regular work, sound sleep, and lots of out-of-doors life, and long, arduous exertions in the invigorating far West. I believe Harvard to be the best university in America, and its intellectual life the most simple and true. As I want my boy to have the best, I shall send him to Harvard as a matter of course. In the yard he will probably be known as ' Jack.' ;

ALFRED FRAZER COULTER
Born at Boston, 1 March 1870, of James Michael Coulter (police captain)
and Susan Mullen. Fitted at Boston Latin.
Class Status: Freshman year only. Joined '94. Died 25 March 1903, at Boston.
Alfred Frazer Coulter died in Boston in March 1903 of a tumor on the brain. He was born in Boston, March 1, 1870. He prepared for Harvard at the Boston Latin School and con- tinued in college for two years, when he left, and soon after entered the Law School. On leaving this, he was admitted to the Boston Bar, and entered the office of Mr. Bordman Hall. Shortly after, he opened an office for himself, and continued independent practice until his death. He was seriously ill only a week, although he had not been in his usual health for some time. He had been engaged for several months on an exacting and important case, to which he had given all his time and energy, and his unceasing devotion to this had doubtless much to do in the slow development of the disease which proved fatal. He was successful in the case but at too high a cost.
Such is the bare outline of the official records of the Class. Of the real life of the man no record can ever be written in weak words. Only with every passing year memory of him grows stronger in the hearts of those who knew him, and clearer the
54 Class of 1893
realization of his broad and firm and deep character. He had the real joy of living. Calm and unruffled, slow to anger, except at a "mean " action, tender and sympathetic as a woman, big- hearted, a true type of Harvard gentleman, he attracted friends and held them without trying. And with it all, that heaven-given sense of humor to riddle sham and pretence, and to laugh away the daily petty troubles of himself and his fellows. But when the real troubles came, there was always Alfred Coulter to turn to, with his sure sympathy and consolation. Lovable and strong, with his even temper and cheery smile, he still lives, the embodi- ment of perfect friendship, and in his home, a devoted son and loving brother.
E'en as he trod that day to God, so walked lie from his birth, In simpleness and gentleness and honour and clean mirth.

" The years since the last report have been uneventful, except for the buying of our country house and a year's stay in North- west Canada, where we have interests that will eventually lead to our living there. I continue to farm, doing always a full man's work, and supply pulpits for neighboring churches. My health is good, having never required the services of a doctor. This is unusual when you know that I have made all the money I have needed to spend since I was eleven years old. I believe this has been possible more from a strictly temperate life than from great natural strength. It is not possible for me now to say where the boys will go to college. If we remain in the
Fourth Report 55
East I see no reason why they should not go to Harvard. I would suggest, however, that the college authorities tighten rather than relax their hold on these boys."

" Five years ago I snared a charming little woman, married her, and am satisfied it was a great personal achievement. I have done no greater deed. Sense dawned on me a bit late in life and I 've now turned my back on the existence of a cave- dweller in a Manhattan apartment and am housed in the woods and on the rocks. It 's my obsession, this home. With favoring luck I '11 quarry tender young onions in the spring and maybe mine a bit of asparagus.

Health excellent, thanks be. A satisfying condition, due primarily to the life out of doors that racing granted. Should a kidney within me leave its moor- ings, my liver get foolishly torpid, or my stomach petulant and fussy, then on the head of Hughes be it ! I '11 be entitled to more than cuss. Sons to Harvard, eh? Well, 'hope springs eternal,' and sending 'em Harvardward would be a duty to them. But ' first catch your hare.' As to charitable work, it is left me only to say that I freely give to such as importune me, save when I 've a grouch."

" I was employed until last November in the New York Public Library, having charge of the Manuscript Department. A growing distaste for city life caused me to leave that business and my home in New York, and I have since then been doing various kinds of out-door work in the Southwest. I am now on a cattle ranch near Houck, Arizona. I get plenty of riding, fresh milk, jack-rabbits, and gorgeous sunsets. My general health, since I entered college, has been very good. I attribute this to my fondness for out-door sports, and to a temperate
Fourth Report 57
and wholesome mode of life. If I had sons I should certainly send them to Harvard. In my opinion, the average Harvard man has an advantage over others in that he has intellectual resources which tend to make his life more enjoyable to himself and more valuable to society, whatever his means or circumstances may be. No other educational institution in this country can compare with Harvard for general culture and broad outlook on the world."
WALTER HOWARD CUSHING
Born at Medford, 8 February 1871, of Henry Harrison Davis Cushing
(packer) and Anna Bramhall Her riot. Fitted at Medford High. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married Frances Louise Dudley at Medford, 15 Xovember 1894. Children:
Howard Randolph, born 21 February 1S96 (died 21 November 1896).
Sydney Hall, 30 September 1897.
Walter Kenneth, 15 Xovember 1902. Now headmaster of High School at Framingham, Massachusetts.
" I am still head-master of the Framingham (Massachusetts) High School, to which position I was elected right after our decennial. Last September we entered our new building, for which the town has paid one hundred and forty thousand dollars. The school numbers over three hundred pupils. My general health has been excellent, due in large part to walking three to five miles daily to and from school. I hope to send both my sons to Harvard."
FREDERICK WILLIAM DALLINGER
Born at Cambridge, 2 October 1871, of William Wilberforce Dallinger
(treasurer) and Elizabeth Folsom Kingman. Fitted at Cambridge Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married Blanche Lucy Russell at Lovell, Maine, 29 August 1900. Children:
John Russell, born 8 October 1901.
Anna Elizabeth, 20 July 1903.
Lucy Kingman, 17 January 1905. Now practising law at Boston.
" I have been devoting my attention principally to the prac- tice of my profession. While I should have liked to devote my life to the public service, financial reasons forbade. I still de-
58 Classofi8g3
vote all the time that my health and means allow. At the pres- ent time I am a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican State Committee, the Middlesex County Republican Committee, Third Councillor District Republican Committee, Cambridge Republican City Committee, the Cambridge Repub- lican Club, the Republican Club of Massachusetts, the Massa- chusetts Club, and the Middlesex Club. I am a Director of the Cambridge Young Men's Christian Association, of the Cam- bridge Masonic Hall Association, the Odd Fellows' Hall As- sociation of the City of Cambridge, Vice-President of the Cambridge Citizens' Trade Association, and chairman of its Committee on Public Affairs, vestryman of the Church of the Ascension, first vice-president of the Boston Local Assembly of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, etc., — so that my spare evenings are fairly well occupied. I am very fond of out-door life, being a life member of the Appalachian Mountain Club, but do not get time to go off with the club as I used to during the years immediately following my graduation from the Law School. My health and that of my wife and children has on the whole been excellent, due partly to the fact that we have tried to take care of ourselves, but chiefly to Divine Providence. I shall send all my sons to Harvard because Harvard is in my opinion the best place to get an ail-round education."
EDWARD CROSBY DARLING
Bom at Hudson, Ohio, 23 September 18G9, of George Darling (clergyman)
and Catharine Elizabeth Crosby. Entered from Ripon College, Wisconsin. Class Status: Entered Sophomore.
Married Elizabeth Patton Kent at Wytheville, Virginia, 1 December 1S9S. Children :
Kent Crosby, born 12 November 1899. George Edward, 15 July 1902. Now manufacturing aluminum at New Kensington, Pennsylvania.
" Am working for the same company, Aluminum Company of America (formerly The Pittsburgh Reduction Company). My time has been mostly devoted to business, due to the fact that the demand for aluminum has increased largely the past few years. Have prospered with the increase of business. My duties require me to travel considerably, so I see a little of the rest of the country. Outside of work I lead a quiet life. Amuse

myself with driving or automobiling in summer and bowling and bridge in winter. My boys will go to the college they select."
BRADLEY MOORE DAVIS
Born at Chicago, 19 November 1871, of Charles Wilder Davis (publisher)

" I have been employed for the past two years in text-book writing with Mr. J. Y. Bergen for Ginn and Company. We have brought out the ' Principles of Botany ' and ' Laboratory and Field Manual of Botany,' both texts being widely used in college work and in the better class of high schools. Since the last report have had charge of the botanical part of a bio- logical survey of the waters of Woods Hole and vicinity, under- taken by the United States Bureau of Fisheries. Am still young enough to retain a keen interest in sport and travel, which accounts for good health and spirits."
PHILIP WHITNEY DAVIS
Eorn at Jamaica Plain, 27 June 1871, of William Whitney Davis (mer- chant) and Julia Wilder Robinson. Fitted at Brown & Nichols. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now a consulting electrical engineer at Boston.
" Since graduation I have worked for a public service corpora- tion and a private corporation. At present I am working for myself. The private corporation was the more profitable of the two — I have not yet made up my mind as to how I like myself as a paymaster. I have dropped the bicycle as a means of loco- motion and taken to walking, and occasionally the horse. I am astonished to find how few people know anything of the delights of a trip on foot through the hills of Southern Ver- mont in the brilliant fall season. I am still unmarried, and so I need give no thought to your question of where I shall send my sons, though I still believe Harvard to be as good a place as any I know of."

Alita, born 11 November 1905. Now a trustee at St. Louis.
" My daily life is kept busy with humdrum business affairs of the Davis Estate, and my leisure moments are spent trying to solve the scientific and practical, agricultural and business problems that present themselves in the dairy line when the good old pump is not used to help the cause along. You had better omit any history, and merely observe that I am still on earth in < St. L.' "
WILLIAM HORACE DAVIS
Born at Holyoke, Massachusetts, 21 July 1871, of George Washington
Davis (physician) and Julia Hastings. Entered from Amherst. Class Status: Entered Sophomore.

Dorothy, 6 August 1904.
Roger Maxfield, 22 November 1905 (died 15 September 1906).
Richard Mackworth, 12 June 1908. Now practising medicine at Boston.
" Appendix operation July 1903, since then perfectly well. Last season played considerable tennis, but have been too busy this year to play at all. At present am inclined to start the boys in business without going to any college, but as the oldest lad is only nine years old, I still have many years in which to change my mind."
GEORGE LAWRENCE DAY
Born at Haverhill, Massachusetts, 11 October 1870, of George Whitefield
Day (manufacturer) and Maria Zoe Blaisdell. Fitted at Phillips Exeter. Class Status: Special, 1889-90.
Day is one of the two remaining men who have never been traced since leaving college. The vague rumors connecting him with the army or the navy have been followed not only by the secretary but by other classmates — to no purpose.

JASPER NEWTON DEAHL
Born at Kasson, West Virginia, 19 April 1859, of Henry Deahl (farmer) and
Catherine Cline. Entered from University of Nashville.
Class Status: Special, 1891-92. Joined Class Senior year. Married Mary Anderson at Wingo, Kentucky, 1 August 1902. Children:
Martha Kline, born 21 June 1904.
Henry George, 1 April 1907. Now Professor of Education at West Virginia University.
" Since the last report I have been professor of Education, the head of the Department of Education, in West Virginia University. In 1906 I received the degree of Ph.D. from Colum- bia University. In May 1908 I was appointed a member of the State Board of Education of West Virginia. Heavy work has impaired my health somewhat. My out-door exercise consists chiefly in working in my garden and tennis, which I find myself neglecting for lack of time. My public and charitable service has been in the main confined to Sunday-school work and to education work in teachers' meetings, board meetings, etc. For four years I conducted a mission Sunday-school at one of our glass plants in Morgantown. For a number of years I have had charge of the grading and promotion of pupils, and of the teaching force in the Presbyterian Church of Morgantown. I shall send my son to Harvard for a number of reasons not easily put on paper. The environment of Harvard is unsur- passed in this country. There is a saneness and sanity of a very wholesome kind to be found there. The large plant and schol- arly men, to say nothing of the reputation or traditional stand- ing of Harvard, make it a very attractive university."
AMBROSE COLLYER DEARBORN
Born at Melrose, 31 January 1873, of George Henry Dearborn (insurance)

Married Louise Frances Beane at Melrose, 29 July 1906. Now educational editor with Henry Holt and Company at New York City.
" Since the last report appeared I have moved to New York, married, and set up my household gods on the top of Washing- ton Heights. The educational publishing business moves on placidly and strongly, unheedful of the business flurries without.
62 Class of i 893
I now have charge of Henry Holt and Company's text-books in New England, the South, and the Pacific Coast. I have reached the golf age of athletic enjoyment, which admission seems to have a ring of sadness. However, the days of the year most looked forward to are those of the Yale football and baseball games, which we never miss, and the thrills come even faster than they used. Sorry I 've nothing of interest and importance to report. The nation without a history, though, is happy."

Appleton, 11 December 1903 (died 31 December 1903).
Devon, 12 May 1905. Now practising architecture at Boston.
" Something over five years ago I moved my penates into the country (two miles beyond Framingham village) and built a house, etc., in the pasture; there I have home and professional workshop, using my Boston office as official headquarters. It seemed a rather daring thing to do, if one would keep ' next ' to Mammon, but I believe it is a good thing for both Mammon and his worshiper for the latter to keep the former guessing a bit. My next step I can fairly see will be to get closer still to the country and occupy a considerable part of my time in honest work. Fifteen years of strenuous professional labor, unnaturally disconnected from the ground, has made me think I have gained a pretty good understanding of my job, and that it will be elevated and refined now by making it a part of a balanced life. (Don't, Mr. Secretary, accuse me of fatting up this report with the next five years — this I mention only as
Fourth Report 6
j
the bud formed in the past and part of the past, but to be pres- ently a part of the future.) I have a beautiful camping hiil-top in New Hampshire, where I put in one or two months each year care-free and scant of clothes. Formal out-door interests almost nil (golf, etc.) : good deal of walking, talking, snow-shoeing, tree pruning, etc. Steadily improving health, which I attribute to steadily simplified and deepened life and thought. Active in several reform organizations (single tax, postal reform, etc.) ; no charitable organizations. Don't know about the boys' col- lege— hope for a sign on that subject before the next decade."

" Tennis, tramping, and our summer place, which is a farm at Lincoln, are the out-of-door things that hold my interest, and to them I attribute my general good health, which indeed has improved during the last few years. Much of my available time is given to charitable interests, which to my mind should always be educational in their tendency."

LOUIS EUGENE DESBECKER
Born at Buffalo, 2 April 1871, of Samuel Desbecker (merchant) and Maria
Weil. Fitted at Buffalo Latin and with R. F. Pennel. Class Status: A.B. 1892. Now Corporation Counsel of Buffalo.
" In 1903 was nominated for Councilman-at-large on the Democratic ticket; filled in a nomination ten days before elec- tion, and had the pleasure of being defeated ; only one man was elected on the Democratic ticket of thirty-four men running; had the pleasure of running second on the ticket in votes cast. In 1905, was nominated for Corporation Counsel of the City of Buffalo on the Democratic ticket ; elected ; took office Jan- uary 1, 1906, at which time I formed a partnership for my pri- vate law practice with Irving L. Fisk, a Harvard academic and Law School man, who was there after my time, and James O. Moore, a Yale man be it said, under the firm name and style of Desbecker, Fisk & Moore. Mr. Moore has lately joined another firm, and the name of the partnership is now Desbecker & Fisk. I devote practically all my time to the city's legal work. Need- less to say, the work is of tremendous volume. I have a large force of assistants, but we find that almost every moment of our time must be devoted to this work in order to make any headway against it. The experience is novel and instructive. My term of office expires on the first day of January 1910, at which time I positively intend to again take up my private practice of law. My only out-door interest is to watch out-door sports. My general health is good; I attribute it to a hardy line of ancestors. I doubt if I ever shall send sons to Harvard,
Fourth Report 65
for as yet I am unmarried. I certainly should, however, since, after all these years, I sincerely believe that Harvard offers more, not only in its course of instruction, but in its associations, than any other college or university that I know of."
BRADFORD COLT DE WOLF

Francis Colt, born 28 October 1894. Now foreign correspondent at Brussels, Belgium.
" I have been living in Brussels since the last report. Have been going in for literary work, mostly in the line of articles on political and social questions. Have contributed to the New York Bookman, Collier's Weekly, New York Times, New York Tribune. While Brussels has been my headquarters, I have travelled im Switzerland, France, and Italy since the last report. Have been in indifferent health, as the result of a nervous breakdown eight years ago. I am particularly interested in social questions, and have chiefly followed the various phases of these questions in France, Germany, and Belgium during the past ten years.. Yes, I intend to send my son to Harvard."

" After having been in business for ten years with my father [paints and oils] I had a chance recently to get away from the Hub, and grabbed it. (I had been in San Francisco and Mon- tana before.) This is a wonderful country with great chances. Golf and fishing I am fond of. (I fish better than I golf.) Rarely take a drink unless I am ill or want it. Notwithstand- ing, I shall go into training for the Twentieth Anniversary of the Class about May 1, 1913. Not married yet. It looks hopeless."

Anne Rodgers, born 1 December 1900. Now practising law at San Francisco.
" Since the last report I have been practising law in San Francisco, California, and residing in Ross, Marin County. My law library, papers, and records were entirely destroyed in my office in the Mills Building in the fire of April 18, 1906, which was a serious loss to me. During the week immediately follow- ing the fire I worked under the Relief Committee in San Fran- cisco. After this I opened temporary offices and resumed my law practice, and am now permanently located in the Crocker Building, San Francisco. I take great interest in out-door sports, such as shooting, fishing, tennis, squash, etc., but have not as much time to devote to them as I should like. My gen- eral health is very good, which I attribute largely to the fact that I take as much exercise as I possibly can. I regret to re- port that I have no sons. If I had, however, I should most certainly send them to Harvard, because it offers a broader and more liberal education, and the associations and influences are better there than can be had at any other university in this country. My last visit to Cambridge was in the fall of 1906. I have been unable to attend any of the Class reunions since 1896, but shall make every effort to be present at the next one."
JOSEPH PHILLIPS DIMMICK

" I am not a devotee of any out-door sport — don't even play croquet. I don't think I have any fads. I use alcoholic bever- ages very moderately — always have. I am likely to be even more abstemious — Alabama has gone ' dry.' I do not use tobacco in any form. I am still enjoying single blessedness."

Daughter (died at birth), 4 October 1896. Now practising osteopathy at Pittsburg.
" Have been practising osteopathy in Louisville, Kentucky, from October 1901 to April 1908, and in Pittsburg, Pennsyl- vania, since May 1, 1908. Graduated from the Medical Depart- ment of Kentucky University (since united with the Medical Department of the University of Louisville), Louisville, Ken- tucky, in July 1906. Assistant in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology, and lecturer on chemistry, Medical Department of Kentucky University, session of 1906-7. Attended the Annual Conventions of the American Osteopathic Association at Cleve- land, Ohio, in the summer of 1903, at St. Louis in 1904, and ' took in ' the World's Fair. Took a month's trip to Texas and the Mexican border in May and June 1907, and investigated the ' Brownsville affair ' for myself. On my Texas and Ken- tucky trips I made free use of my camera, and secured many views of interest to me and to my friends. There you have my ' out-door interests ' in a nutshell — a cocoa-nut shell, if you will. My ' charitable work ' has been of the modest kind that every physician is called upon to do, without being expected to say anything about it. I have done no ' public service work,' except to cast my vote for reform in civic affairs, and I assure you that this ' work ' was strictly ' unpaid.' My general health is good, due to a fair amount of work, temperate habits, a fairly cheerful disposition, and a good wife to take care of me. If I had a son I should certainly look forward to his going to Harvard. Why? In this land of good schools, the foremost reason for choosing Harvard would be to forge one more link in the chain of sympathy between father and son. In the second place, being a Republican (with a big R), and therefore a true democrat (with a small d), I like the true democratic spirit that prevails in and about my alma mater. (N. B. The last sen- tence above is for the benefit of my wife, who is a Democrat, with a big D.)"

" Since the last report I have continued in Civil Service for Uncle Sam and domestic service for Katharine Boltwood Dodson and two boys. I don't know which branch of the service I have

enjoyed the more. If I am not clear in mind on this question I am somewhat cleared on the top of my head. When I was at Harvard I used oftener than was good for progress in my studies to attend the drama at one dollar and one dollar and a half a seat. Now I cultivate the mimeo-drama with my boys at ten cents a sitting. I suppose the boys will play football here on the St. Louis University team when they grow up."

I am a member of the Boston City Club and of the Hendrick's Club, a political organization. I am a Demo- crat still, although I did all I could for our honored classmate, Louis Frothingham. I found getting democratic votes for him a ' cinch,' he is so popular with the voters. My little girl is now ten years old, and I have no boys. I am living here in the city, at No. 64 Myrtle Street, but it is not to be a permanent abode, for in the spring I expect to move out of town."

" For the past six years and previous to that period I have been manager of sales and a director in the Champion-Interna- tional Company of Lawrence, Massachusetts. This company manufactures high-grade surface-coated paper, designed prin- cipally to meet the demand for a paper on which half-tone plates could be printed successfully. Golf has been my only out-door exercise. I prefer this to more violent exercise. My general health is good. I believe this is due largely to the fact that my vocation keeps me out of doors a great deal. My son will prepare for Harvard, as I believe the advantages to be ob- tained there are greater than any other institution in a general education."

Fourth Report 71
" I am still connected with the First National Bank, Boston, and necessarily follow the daily routine of travel, work, and travel home again. I spend my time, when not in Boston, at my home in Needham, enjoying the doings and sayings of my little family. With the coming of the spring I sow in the ground a few seeds with the same undying hope of wresting from New England soil a small crop of vegetables. If country life can make one ' healthy, wealthy, and wise,' I should surely fulfil the old saying. My young son does not have at present any choice in the matter of collegiate education, but I think his desire to out-door sports might lead him to choose Harvard as a means to an end, that is, the postponement of work of any sort as long as possible."
CHARLES WILLIAM DOWNING
Born in Clinton County, Missouri, 7 September 1866, of Ellis Downing
(farmer) and Permetia Anne Collins. Entered from William Jewell College. Class Status: Entered Senior. Died at Colorado Springs, 18 March 1908.
Charles William Downing, of the Class of '93, was born September 7, 1866. Until his eighteenth year his life was spent on a farm in Western Missouri. It would seem that few advan- tages would present themselves there to induce a young man to adopt the career of a scholar ; and yet, with parents of literary tastes, and excellent teachers in the country school, the desire for knowledge was easily roused and cultivated until nothing appealed so strongly to the boy as the life of a student. He graduated from William Jewell College, Liberty, Missouri, in 1890, taught for two years in Howard Payne College, Brown- wood, Texas, and then went to Harvard, where he obtained his degree in 1893. He then taught another year at Brownwood, became professor of Ancient Languages at Hardin College, Mexico, Missouri, and from there went to Europe, where he studied for nearly two years. While in Germany he contracted the dread disease tuberculosis, and, although within two months of his Doctor's degree, was compelled by ill health to return to America. He was given a professorship in Columbian Insti- tute, Washington, District of Columbia, where he taught with success; but the Great White Plague was making steady in- roads upon him, and after consulting his physician, he resigned
72 Classofi8g3
his position and went to Colorado, and entered upon a deter- mined struggle to regain his health.
For ten years he fought a grim, determined battle with his enemy. During this time he did some teaching in the schools of that state, wrote articles for the magazines, and became well and favorably known by the educators of that section. At the time of his death it was said of him that he was one of the best- informed and cultivated men in the state. Although a splendid career was snatched from him by disease, he never fretted nor repined, but faced the future calmly, with a sublime serenity of soul that bespoke a cultivated mind and a self-poise attained by few. Sitting one evening at the door of his tent, he said to an old friend and schoolmate : " I recognize the fact that sooner or later the disease I have will carry me off. And it may seem to some that my work has been all in vain. But I do not regard it so. My disease has not robbed me of my purpose. I have ac- complished what I set out to do. I determined to fit myself as a citizen in the world of learning and literature. I have lived longer and enjoyed more in the few years allotted me thus than I could possibly have in any other way. I have fitted myself for a life of usefulness and help to others. If by reason of disease I am not allowed to enter upon that life, I do not have myself to blame. All I ask is that when I must go, I be allowed to go quickly."
His desire was granted. On the evening of March 18, 1908, after dining with his friends in an unusually pleasant vein, he was stricken with a hemorrhage, and in a moment had taken that final step into the future that some day awaits us all.

My general health is satisfactory. I am not engaged in any special charitable or public service work. In regard to whether or not I favor send- ing my boy to Harvard, I can only say that I have not yet made up my mind on this subject."

" During the winter 1904-5 I had a year's leave of absence (from the University of Colorado), which I spent at Paris, France, and Cambridge, England. At Paris I was working in the radium laboratory. Professor Curie asked me at that time if I would care to return to work in his laboratory, provided suitable arrangements could be made with regard to income. Such arrangements have been made through the generosity of Mr. Carnegie, and I have taken up research work in the Curie laboratory."

General health fairly good up to the last two years. Had a run of typhoid last year, and the year before had my eye very badly injured playing racquets. It does not disfigure but the sight is much impaired. Am still practising law in partnership with my father. Not a single gray hair in my head, and never will have unless they hurry. Reminds me of a family joke. One of my little nieces one day put her hand on an unaccountable bare spot on the top of my head and asked, ' Why have n't you got it all on to-day, Uncle Divie? ' "

Fourth Report 75
" The last five years have been spent at Syracuse, New York, where I have attained the dazzling distinction of associate pro- fessor of English in Syracuse University. During this period my family has increased fifty per cent — parents don't count — by the birth of a son, Sidney Lovett, on May 1, 1906. About a year ago I bought a house at 609 Comstock Avenue, and since the lot extends to the centre of the earth, that is, I fancy, my permanent address for some time to come. Our summers we spend at Sargentville, Maine, where we are the possessors of a slice of land running from Eggemoggin Reach for a couple of miles into thick woods. Life seems singularly worth living in the early middle way ; and there seems plenty to keep one busy, even if one does not become a governor or literary celebrity. I have spent a good deal of time and received a good deal of pleasure in working as secretary of the Syracuse Harvard Club. Our Club is active, and we are trying to make the name of Har- vard one of consideration in a strange land. We are starting movements for the betterment of our civic life, and so letting our neighbors know that Harvard men can be useful members of society. Our efforts thus far have been directed toward good music for the people."

" Have been closely confined to the practise of law since 1896. In 1905 the firm of Eaton, McKnight and Carver was dissolved, Mr. Carver going into business for himself. My general health has been good. Although a great lover of out-door life, a month or a little longer in the summer is the best I am able to get away from business. My boy, now eight, says he will surely go to Harvard, showing he has inherited his father's loyalty. I still believe Harvard is the greatest American University, and offers the widest instruction and experience to a student in this coun- try. May all our sons meet there in their future college life."

The work I have ex- pended building my house and laying out my place, the atten- tion to my farm, looking after my stable, fox hunting in the winter, organizing and running my shooting in Scotland in the autumn, my trips home to New York in the summer, a little polo, some attention teaching my boys games and sports dur- ing their holidays, and you have the outline of my year."

Nancy Sawyer, 25 October 1907. Now manufacturing steel at Milwaukee.
" Since the last report I have worked hard at my business, filling the position of works manager of the Falk Company (a steel casting plant). I find it very interesting, as it takes me pretty deeply into the study of steel metallurgy. For recrea- tion, I take up landscape gardening and the study of birds. I am very fond of the simple life, and spend much of my time fish- ing and hunting during the season. I have not yet become an automobile crank but cannot tell when it will happen. I now have three children, all little girls, and I can say for the benefit of those who have none, they are great little institutions. My health has been very good, due undoubtedly to the fact that I take very good care of myself — always observing the old Greek rule, ' Nothing too much, everything in moderation,' so often heard in Fine Arts 4. The good fellowship and fine Class feel- ing displayed at our fifteenth anniversary was something to be proud of, and I am sure every one of us who had the pleasure of being present at this grand reunion will thank God that he is a Harvard man. I know I do."

Fourth Report 79
"On the fifth of August 1903 I married Mrs. Amy Elwell Crane of Detroit. The following month I came to Boston to take charge of the department of English in the newly-organized Simmons College, and I have remained in this position ever since. My time and strength have been devoted chiefly to the routine work of teaching, though I have found opportunity for a little editorial work in addition, and a bit of writing now and then. My recreations are golf, bicycling, and, during the sum- mer, mountain climbing and tramping."
WILLIAM OLIVER FARNSWORTH
Born at Damariscotta, Maine, 27 October 1871, of Lewis Farnsworth (mer- chant) and Lydia Augusta Mathews. Fitted at Boston Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now Professor of Modern Languages at Franklin and Marshall College.
" At the time of the last report I was teaching in the French department at Yale, having gone there in 1900. In 1904 and 1905 I published two text-books, an edition of Labiche's ' La Cagnotte,' and one of Daudet's, * Robert Helmont,' and at the same time undertook to work for the Doctor's degree at Yale. The nervous strain was too great, and in 1906 I was glad to give up work and go to Asheville, North Carolina, where my mother and I took a little country place. Since then most of my time has been spent on horseback or in tramping among the mountains, with the intervals devoted to playing farmer. For pure enjoyment, this has been the most delightful experience of my life, and most profitable to my health. I have been tramping the great smoky mountains, so enticingly described in Miss Murfree's stories, and find them even more wild and mysterious than I had imagined ; also visiting the Eastern Band of Chero- kee Indians, who clung to their native home at the time of the removal. It's very primitive but fascinating. I have just ac- cepted the chair of Modern Languages at the Franklin and Marshall College of Lancaster, Pennsylvania."

" I left New York in 1905, and since then have lived in Southern California, with business office in Los Angeles. A Harvard Club dines together annually. At our recent dinner a member of the Faculty told us latest news of Cambridge. My brother being an editor of the Crimson, I receive this honored sheet daily. In spite of these sources of information, Cambridge and old friends seem a vast distance from the Pacific. Though it is said that hard work is discouraged in this sunny climate, I still find it pleasant to be active. Opportunities for building large residences on sites of exceptional beauty are becoming more and more frequent. Of our out-of-door life one may learn from the railroad advertisements."
SIDNEY EMERSON FARWELL

Barrows and Howard F. Barrows. Now Treasurer American Zinc, etc., Company at Boston.
" Went to Chicago October 1902 in banking business (selling notes and securities). Fine business, but I got in about the time the seeds of the 1907 panic were being planted. Finally landed with J. M. Ceballos and Company, New York — great strike. Went to Cuba for them on an inspection tour just as signs of war appeared. Was in Havana when the United States Gunboat Denver landed one hundred marines, and the stars and stripes looked good to me, considering the fact that on the ' in- side ' it was fully expected Havana would be taken by the insur- gents that night. They were swarming just outside the city, had driven the Government troops in with severe losses, and it looked bad. I came back to New York, and ten days afterward J. M. Ceballos and Company went to the wall, real causes un- known to this day. The note, bond, and security business looked dark, and having a chance to come to Boston, I accepted quick. Am now treasurer of several large mining companies, my knowl- edge in this line not being yet worth a million. Health never better, but no exercise except of wits in tight places. Do not

" Have been principal of Bridgewater High School since the last report. Shall send my sons to Harvard if I find I am able. I enjoy teaching, but do not think I shall make teachers out of both my sons. I am a great admirer of Ex-President Eliot and Ex-President Roosevelt. Hope my boys will be good men, but cannot hope to make a president out of either."

Henry Colt, born 26 January 1901.
Priscilla Brigham. 22 February 1902. Now teaching at Rindge School, Cambridge.
" From 1905-1907 I was principal of the High School at Nashua. Having marked out tolerably well settled ideas as to the running of an educational institution, I came to disagree with elements in control. In the midst of this the merchants and professional men of the city placed in my hands at my own solicitation over one thousand dollars for the complete ornamen- tation of their new High School building. This tangible ex- pression of practical interest in the intellectual well-being of the young was a very pleasant experience to a teacher. At the end of the second year I entered upon a course of special study in the Department of History at Harvard University. My health is not of the best, due in part, I believe, to ignoring the
need of out-door exercise."

" Have until this year been in business with the firm of Jack- son & Curtis, Boston. Retired this year to take care of my private interests, which have become numerous and varied. Have taken considerable interest in trying to get the athletic situa- tion at Harvard established on a proper business basis, and the various sports organized, so that we may hope for a reasonable share of victories. Have personally kept up tennis and racquets in a more or less spasmodic way. Am interested in Free Hos- pital for Women, Brookline, and in a lesser degree in the So- ciety for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Health moderately good. I shall send my son to Harvard, as, possibly blinded by prej udice, I think it gives a fuller education in a broad sense than any other institution and contains a larger percentage of Bostonians, who of all Americans lead the most rational existence."

Two years ago moved our executive offices to New York, with my home at Greenwich, Connecticut, and make four trips a year over the southwest to the coast, and as far south as the City of Mexico. Am interested in private charities. Health is fairly good, and keep it so by an occasional game of golf. If I had a son would most assuredly send him to Harvard. Thus far

Rosanna Duncan, 4 July 1900. Now practising law in Boston.
" How trivial the interests and doings of five years seem when thus coldly demanded by that Recording Angel (?), the Class Secretary ! My life has been very uneventful and very happy. The law is a pleasant (if not profitable) profession. And grad- ually my work has increased. I suppose that simply means we are getting on and the burdens of the world are slipping from tired shoulders onto ours. We can't be like Peter Pan, the boy that never grew up, though at the extremely successful fifteenth anniversary there were flashes of boyhood. What a great and glorious ending to that celebration were the races at New Lon- don ! I returned from the races in the Packard of the president of a National Bank in Chicago. The last two syllables of that last word describe our progress. We did go. And gayly the red flags fluttered in front, and the '93 Nahant celebration eagle smiled behind. Some other time I '11 write you about sending sons to Harvard. Meantime see Jolin Corbin's book."

" I have had the honor of serving the Commonwealth as Secre- tary of the Massachusetts Highway Commission, and on July 1,
1909, I completed my sixteenth year in that capacity. The activities of the Commission in building and maintaining our State roads, restraining speed-mad automobilists, and super- vising telephone companies have been so intense that I have had no time for out-door matters not connected with my business. My son, had he lived, would surely have done credit to his father at Harvard, but he has gone from me, and I have no hope of another. My daughter's physique will surely place her at centre on the Radcliffe football team, if female athletics have progressed to that stage when she gets there. January 1,
1910, I left Massachusetts to become general manager of the San Diego County Commission, California, my first work being the supervision of the reconstructing of four hundred and forty- eight miles of county roads."
HERBERT LINCOLN FLINT
Born at Cambridge, 30 October 1870, of Francis Flint (manufacturer) and
Celestia Frederika Barnes. Fitted at Cambridge Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now health-seeking; home at Cambridge.
" Chronic weakness of the back, due to an injury received in 1894, has largely determined the course of my life since grad- uation. Have been endeavoring to find out-door work not too strenuous, and it has resulted in various engineering occupa- tions, including hydraulic mining in 1903 and 1904 in heart of British Columbia, and in topographical and landscape work since 1905. Have had to lay up for repairs too frequently to make much showing, but hope for better things to come. Have found the work exceedingly interesting and varied, with oppor- tunity of seeing many sections of the country. Have particu- larly appreciated the rather unusual opportunity of studying and enjoying Nature at first hand among the mountains of Maine, New Hampshire, British Columbia, and the Rockies near Banff. Canoeing and skating have been the favorite out-door recreations. Was in the photo group at Nahant June 1908, to which Bartlett so kindly offered his cards. Was interested to see there were a few brave spirits left ' unattached ' on that occasion, which, by the way, certainly proved well worth while."

"My last five years have been spent in the practise of law, especially corporation matters and investment enterprises, in- cluding real estate, soft coal, and copper. My health since leav- ing college has been a tragedy. I am never perfectly well, and yet, by observing a regimen of unusual care, I keep up an active working power. Am unable to deflect my energies much from my work to politics, social, or church life, for late hours or ex- citements of all kinds are incompatible with my daily life. I do some literary work in leisure hours, but that is all, beyond my professional duties. I would send my boys to Harvard. Still think it the pre-eminent college."

Anna Whitfield. Fitted at Rutgers Grammar. Class Status: Special, 1889-92. Now mineralogist and prospector at New York City.
86 Class of 1893
" Since the last report mining has necessitated frequent change of base. This prevents one from entering actively into the affairs of any community. Incline to out-of-door sports of all kinds, but am confined mostly to tramping over ledges and driving over country roads, for reason given above. For the same reason, local offices and local duties cannot be accepted. (Do a little missionary work on the quiet, but, of course, accept no pay.) General health is good, especially when exercising and drinking sufficient good water. Would send my son to Harvard if I (were married and) had one. Am an enthusiastic advocate of President Roosevelt's attitude towards betterment of the farmer's life, free delivery of mails, low telephone rates, good roads, direct representation in the great markets, to pre- vent waste of products, and to insure the farmer against fraud (being cheated out of his pay)."

ALFRED JULIUS FREIBERG
Born at Cincinnati, 7 March 1873, of Isaac Freiberg (distiller) and Char- lotte Newburger. Fitted at Hughes High. Class Status: A.B. 1893 from '94. Married Cecile Hellman at St. Louis, 27 June 1907. Child:
Cecile, born 13 April 1908. Now practising law at Cincinnati.
" My principal interest has been, up to the year when I was married, municipal reform. Together with a number of local Harvard men, I have striven hard to build up an organization independent of the national parties. Have contributed largely to a paper called The Citizen's Bulletin, owned and edited by Elliott Pendleton, and at times have edited the paper (a weekly) myself. Have tried hard to earn a living at the law honorably, and for the last three or four years have succeeded measurably. Would have had a good practice long ago on account of my large family connections, if it had not been for my reforming
Fourth Report 87
proclivities. Better now, for I have softened, and the commun- ity have learned that I am not really vicious. Would not alter program if I had it to make all over again. Have quite a large practice now, perhaps more than the average. I am a great believer in Harvard. I think that not every boy is built to thrive best there. But I intend, if I am blessed with a boy or two, to rear them so that they will profit by the spirit of Har- vard. I like its motto, ' Veritas,' and I believe that the real truth gets taught there better than any other place in the world."

" Nothing to report except change of address to 192 Bidwell Parkway, Buffalo, since last report. General health is very good, live regularly and quietly. Should send my sons to Har- vard because I do not know any better."
LEE MAX FRIEDMAN
Born at Memphis, 29 September 1872, of Max Friedman (merchant) and
Matilda Marks. Fitted at Roxbury Latin and with M. Winkler. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising law at Boston.
" Have been practising law in Boston about as hard as a man could work. Have been engaged in some important matters. Have been almost too busy to do anything else. Lack of time has obliged me to decline several public offices offered me by the
88 Class of 1893
Governor and the Mayor of Boston. Helped to organize and am a director of the Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance Company and the Rockland Trust Company, and am also a director of the People's National Bank. Am still on the Board of Trustees of the Children's Institution Department of the City of Boston. Am devoting considerable time to various charities. Still unmarried, and am reaching that stage where I am most envious of my classmates who have sons old enough to begin to talk of going to college. Have written law articles for vari- ous magazines. Have been counsel to the Boston Republic City Committee, American Woolen Company, and the bondholders in the Bay State gas litigation, and have been receiver of some large corporations in Boston. Have n't had a vacation for five years, except to get up mornings early from, and get down late to, Marblehead Neck, from where we can look across the harbor to President Taft's new summer home."

Class Status: Special, 1889-92. Law School, 1893. Now practising law at Boston.
" Since the last report I have been engaged in the law in Boston, being associated with Judge F. J. Hutchinson, Dart- mouth '78, under the firm name of Hutchinson and Frink. * On the side,' I take much interest in forestry and timber culture, being owner of a small timber patch in the State of Maine. My fishing lodge at Belgrade Lakes, Maine, affords pleasure to friends and myself when the fishing fever runs high, or a week-end out- ing is desired. While not wishing to be known as a literary cuss, I contribute articles to magazines on the forestry question and general life in the woods. In my spare moments I am working out a problem in the form of a novel, which may or may not be turned loose upon the credulity of an unsuspecting public. Other than being engaged in the practice of the law, I am man- ager or trustee of several estates; also trustee of a country Public Library. As to general health, I have a perfect score. I am still travelling in single harness, so plead not guilty in having sons to send to Harvard. To sum up, I am fairly favored
Fourth Report 89
with this world's goods and am trying to make the most of life as it comes to me. ' Serene and happy.'

ARTHUR BOWES FRIZELL
Born at Boston, 14 July 18G5, of Joseph Palmer Frizell (civil engineer) and
Julia Bowes. Entered from Technology. Class Status: Entered Junior. Now Professor of Mathematics at Midland College.
" In August 1906 I brushed off the dust of Cambridge and took passage for Gdttingen, where dust is unknown. My first employment in Germany was to attend and report for the Amer- ican Mathematical Society, the annual meeting of the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung at Stuttgart, forming a section of the Deutsche Naturforscher und Arzte. This introduced me to an attitude towards science, to which I had hitherto been a stranger. We were welcomed as guests by the city, which was decorated for the occasion ; the King came to the opening ses- sion and ordered performances for us in the royal theatres. In the section meetings and excursions I met the most distinguished mathematicians of Germany. After this I spent three semesters in hearing lectures, leading a simple life, and learning to dis- criminate between good beer and the American article. At the close of this period of rehabilitation I went down to Rome to attend the fourth international Congress of Mathematicians, conducted by the Circolo Matematico di Palermo, under the patronage of the King of Italy. The program was similar to that at Stuttgart ; the King came to the opening session in the Capitol, there was a reception by the City of Rome, and other entertainments, and all museums and art galleries were open to the visitors. On my return to America, after much futile negotiation with other institutions, I was offered and accepted
90 Classofi8g3
a professorship in Midland College, Atchison, Kansas, a posi- tion which I find thoroughly congenial. The college is con- ducted in a Christian spirit and has more use for a serviceable man than for a brilliant one. My advice to my classmates is : Come to Kansas and let the sun shine on you ! "
LOUIS ADAMS FROTHINGHAM
Born at Jamaica Plain, 13 July 1871, of Thomas Bumstead Frothingham
(lawyer) and Anne Pearson Lunt. Fitted at Adams Academy. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts.
" Have continued to practise law in Boston. In 1904 was elected speaker Massachusetts House of Representatives. Re- elected the following year. Resigned to run for Mayor of Boston, after serving two terms in the speaker's chair. Was de- feated in a three-cornered contest for Mayor. Elected a member of Republican State Committee in 1907. Served one year. Elected an overseer of Harvard in 1905. Went to Costa Rica and Panama in 1905, March-April, on law business, and to Guatemala, Salvador, and Nicaragua April— June of same year. Nominated after a hot three-cornered contest for Lieutenant- Governor on the Republican ticket in 1908 and elected. Re- elected in 1909 for another year. To show that I am not entirely immersed in public life but still have anchors to wind- ward, let me say that I am President of the Blackstone Savings Bank, treasurer of the Frothingham Buildings, and have an office for the practice of the law at Barrister's Hall, Boston. Health good."
WILLIAM HARRY FURBER

Holden, born 13 March 1903. Now in lumber business at Boston.
" Since the last report and up to January 1 of 1908 I have continued in the wholesale lumber business as a member of the firm of Furber, Stockford and Company. On that date our partnership expired by limitation and I decided to separate

Gerhard, 2d, born 30 September 1898.
Alice King, 9 December 1899. Now Norwegian Consul at Chicago.
" In the spring of 1906 I resigned the office of Mayor of Lake Forest, finding same hardly compatible with the duties of the Consulate of Norway, to which I had been appointed in De- cember 1905. The latter office takes most of my time, and so has largely done away with any great activity in the profes- sion of the law. In Chicago there are estimated to be one hun- dred thousand Norwegians. Visited Norway summers of 1906 and 1908, on the first occasion attending King Haakon's coro- nation as representative of Norwegians in America. Ride to hounds (Onwentsia Hunt Club) in Lake Forest, and attribute to abundant out-of-door exercise my excellent health. Am at present serving on the Board of the Deerfield township High School. My son is going to Harvard — it is the only real uni- versity in America."

Helen Adelaide, born 29 November 1906. Now chemist at Boston.
" In 1905 I accepted the position of chemist in the Bureau of Milk Inspection, a department of the Boston Board of Health. At night I studied law, and passed the Massachusetts Bar ex- amination in December 1907. The reason for my taking up law was that I had hoped the Pure Food Act would create a demand
92 Class of 189 3
for a man who knows considerable chemistry and just a little bit of law. So far I have not found that the demand has arisen. My only out-door recreation is to experiment with a few com- mon garden flowers, to see what changes can be effected in the color of the blossoms by applying various chemicals to the soil."
HOWARD SCHIFFER GANS
Born at New York City, 23 October 1872, of Levi Lieberman Gans (manu- facturer) and Addie Schiffer.
Fitted with Dr. J. Sachs.
Class Status: A.B. 1S92.
Married Birdie Stein (Mrs. Louis Sternberger) at New York City, 2 July 1908, with adoptive children: Marian Stein Gans, born 12 June 1889. Robert Stein Gans, 14 August 1890.
Now practising law at New York City.
" I was an Assistant District Attorney of New York County until January 1, 1906, when I resigned to go into private prac- tice. In the autumn of 1905 I was active in the conduct of Mr. William Travers Jerome's campaign for re-election to the office of district attorney, and have since taken part in an un- successful movement to elect to the Supreme Court bench can- didates approved by the bar in opposition to those chosen by the Tammany and Hearst organizations. Much to my regret, I have been kept too busy to retain any consistent out-door in- terests, though I occasionally ride or play tennis, and get away to the woods for a little fishing. I have been for about a year past a member of the executive committee of the New York County branch of the Red Cross, a member of the board of trustees of the Jewish Protecting and Aid Society, an institu- tion which takes care of delinquent and neglected boys, and chairman of the committee on police of the City Club, but in none of these capacities have I been particularly active. My health has been reasonably good, except when I have had an exaggerated case of tired feeling, that has been cured by vaca- tions, of which I have had three, — one to Mexico in 1905, one to Europe in 1907, and one to Europe in 1908. I shall not send my adopted son to Harvard because his ambition is to follow an engineering career, and he has chosen ' Tech ' for that purpose. If I were advising a boy who wanted an academic
Fourth Report 93
course, I should send him to Harvard if he were the sort that could stand squarely on his own feet. If he were of the order that needed support and boosting, I 'd send him to one of the smaller colleges, where life is less strenuous."
JAMES ALBERT GARLAND
Born at New York City, 26 November 1870, of James Albert Garland
(banker) and Annie Louise Fuller. Fitted with L. A. Prosser. Class Status: Special, 1889-93. Married Marie Louise Tudor at Brookline, 20 September 1893. Children:
James Albert, born 10 May 1894.
Tudor, 9 July 1S95.
Charles, 26 June 1899.
Hamilton, 28 October 1900.
Hope, 2 October 1905. Died at Hanover, Massachusetts, 13 September 1906.
James Albert Garland died September 13, 1906, at Han- over, Massachusetts, while temporarily residing there for his health. When living at his home on Prudence Island in Narra- gansett Bay in June, he contracted a severe case of pneumonia, the results of which, together with a complication of other dis- eases, caused his death in September. He was born November 26, 1870, and was the oldest of the three children of James Albert Garland, of New York, and Anna Louisa, his wife. He entered Harvard with the Class of '93 as a special student, and was among the best-known men in his class. He was a member of the D. K. E., Hasty Pudding, Zeta Psi Club, The Institute, and several other clubs. While he did not take a degree, he was always very much interested in the college and its work. He showed something of the interest that his father had before him, who during his lifetime gave many valuable collections to the university, and at his death provided in his will that in the event of his direct descendants dying without issue, his property should go to the college. Garland made a similar provision in his will. At Harvard he was very much interested in literary matters. To his friends he was a most lovable and loyal man. He had, when he desired to exert himself, an exceedingly fas- cinating manner, which impressed itself on everybody who met him. He was sensitive in temperament, and this very sensi- tiveness made him sometimes misunderstood by those who did not know him well. He married just after graduation, on Sep-
94 Classofl8g3
tembcr 20, 1893, Marie Louise Tudor, daughter of Frederic Tudor of Boston, and immediately went to Paris, where he spent two years in the study of architecture. On his return from Europe he settled at Hamilton, Massachusetts, and while there wrote a book entitled ' The Private Stable,' which was the best and most complete book of its kind on the subject that had been written, and it enjoys to-day a wide sale. He afterwards sold his Hamilton place and purchased a farm of eight hundred (800) acres on the north end of Prudence Island, Rhode Island, in Narragansett Bay, where he lived until his death. Here he raised all kinds of fancy stock, and had an extensive kennel of Old English sheep dogs, which was the most famous of its kind in the country. At one time he was proprietor of the New Eng- land Magazine, and for about two years devoted most of his time to the management of this paper. Among the other in- terests of his busy life was yachting, and at the time of his death he owned the steam yacht Barracouta. He was also interested in mechanical subjects, one in connection with the telephone, also an improved stopper for bottles, and an attachment for simplifying work on the typewriter. It will therefore be seen that he had an unusual and comprehensive mind. He was a member of the Union Club, The New York Yacht Club, The Harvard Club (all of New York), The Tennis and Racquet Club of Boston, and many others. For a year or two prior to his death he took much interest in the work of the Home for Crippled Children in Providence, Rhode Island. He was pre- paring a summer home for these children on the north end of Prudence Island. While it was being made ready for them, he hired a large hotel on the shores of Narragansett Bay for the summer and paid all expenses connected therewith. It was such things as these that interested him and gave him pleasure.

THOMAS ASHLEY GIFFORD
Born at Springfield, Massachusetts, 25 December 1866, of John Henry Gif-

"From April 1903 to May 1905 I was with Harper & Brothers, publishers. Since then, I have been with City of New York (fire) Insurance Company, at 42 Cedar Street. I motor and golf mildly. In the city election contest of 1905, I worked for good government, and the Citizens' Union as a watcher at the polls, in the interest of District Attorney Jerome. Since then I have been puzzled to decide whether we plucked a lemon or a peach! My general health is good, due in a great measure, I think, to laziness in exercise. If I had sons I should doubtless send them to Harvard ; but as no wedding bells have yet rung for me, I decline at the present time to incriminate myself."
LOUIS WHITMORE GILBERT
Born at Chicago, 3 June 1871, of Selden Gilbert (clergyman) and Sarah

" Since the last report I have continued practising medicine, now at 1402 Beacon Street, Brookline. I resigned the position of physician to the Boston Dispensary in 1906. In 1908 was made a medical examiner to the Brookline Municipal Gymna- sium, and made a full-fledged medical school-inspector. Have helped to start an Anti-Tuberculosis Society here and am in- terested in its work. This year I was elected a councilor of the Massachusetts Medical Society from Norfolk County. Have read papers before various medical clubs, but have published nothing. Have kept in good condition by taking exercise, liv-

In 1902 I organized the courses in the mathematics of insurance and statistical mathematics. Served as expert in insurance to the Royal Commission on Insurance of Canada in 1908, as con- sulting actuary to the Wisconsin Legislative Insurance In- vestigation Committee in the same year, and to the Wisconsin Legislative Joint Committee on Banks and Insurance in 1907. My out-door interests are hunting and walking, and sleeping out of doors eight months of the twelve. Am interested in the movement for the conservation of the national public health, and am doing what little I can in the way of writing to promote legislative and public interest to the point of giving financial support to the cause. My own health is good."

Try to keep on intimate terms with my violin. Am interested in social work in Boston, and on the boards of certain philanthropic institu- tions. Am and have been in perfect health. I imagine the simple life accounts for it. Have no sons, and the question of college has not therefore been urgent. Am in doubt whether I would send them to Harvard."

" Since the last report I have continued in the active work of the ministry. My out-door interests are gardening, botany, and ornithology. My health has been excellent, and I attribute it to regular habits of exercise, temperance in eating, and not letting my work burden me or cause me worry. I am a mem- ber of the Connecticut Harvard Club recently organized, also of a local Yale Club, being a graduate of that University."

William Jackson, 26 June 1903. Now practising law at Chicago.
" I have plugged away practising law the same as before. I still keep up my connection with the Chicago Kent College of Law, holding down the chair on the Law of Corporations each winter. I was appointed Master in Chancery of the Circuit Court about two years ago, and this gives me a chance to look at lawyers and litigants from a new point of view. I devote my spare time to golf, and meet my friends socially often enough to know there are good times to be had."

" I am still living the uneventful life of a country minister. Since the last report I have become settled (in 1905) over the old First Parish Church of Duxbury, Massachusetts. Am still unmarried. Health is uniformly good, owing, I believe, to open-air exercise. Should send my sons to Harvard because of its freedom."
ALBERT HALE
Born at Jamaica Plain, 19 April 1872, of Albert Hale (teacher) and Kathe-
rine Davenport Wood. Fitted at A. Hale's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now in bond business at Boston.
" My business, to those familiar with it, may partially ac- count for my having accomplished little else of general interest. I have published a few books of a strictly technical character, bearing on my own business. Out-of-door interests : mainly tennis and hockey ; baseball occasionally, on national holidays and '93 celebrations ; a little canoeing, and sailing when possible. This summer I have indulged considerably in the sport of motor- boating, which I have long held in contempt. While it is not to be compared with sailing, I should like to extend an invitation to any '93 man who doubts that a great deal of pleasure can be derived from it with the command of very limited leisure or money. Charitable or public service work: nothing worthy of note. General health and causes : I presume that Divine Provi-
Fourth Report 101
dence knew that I should have to work hard for a living and so kindly gave me excellent health with which to undertake it. I have, this afternoon, fallen from the top of an apple-tree, so that my health has had, for the time being, something of a set back. Shall I (or should I) send my sons to Harvard, and why : I presume that your phrase in brackets means ' Am I married.' No I am not. If my picture at the quindecennial had been taken with the larger group and not with the smaller, you may be sure that I should have sons on their way to Har- vard. You ask why? If for no better reason, so that someone might profit by my mistakes there."
JOSEPH HENRY HALL
Born at Norwich, Connecticut, 31 August 1870, of Joseph Hall (manufac- turer) and Sarah Rogers. Fitted at Berkeley School, New York. Class Status: Special, 1889-92. Married Grace Manning Smith at Brooklyn, 13 June 1897. Children:
Joseph Henrv, Jr., born 17 June 1898.
Lloyd Grosvenor, 9 July 1899.
Philip Sidney, 5 January 1902. Now Superintendent of Hall Woolen Mills at Norwich, Connecticut.
" Seem to have fallen into bad way of attending to business to the exclusion of everything else. Am member of Golf Club, Roque and Tennis Club, Arcanum Club, Masonic Lodge, but most of time is spent at ' bread winning ' (superintendent woolen mill), except an occasional game of tennis, and an evening once in a while at club. In regard to sending my three sons to Harvard, this is the height of my ambition. Feel that there is nothing in the college line quite equal to Harvard. Business calls me to Boston more or less, and I often find time to run over to Cambridge for a few hours, and watch with much satisfaction the new buildings springing up from time to time, which proves that Harvard is enjoying much prosperity. While at Harvard I acquired taste for reading and the habit of col- lecting good books, which I consider greatest benefit received. Began reading and getting together books at this time, and still continue at it. Have about two thousand volumes of standard works on various subjects, mostly philosophy and history, all collected since 1893. This small library and its use are sources of much pleasure and satisfaction, and is due probably to habits formed while at Harvard."

SAMUEL PRESCOTT HALL
Born at South Boston, 13 September 1872, of David Prescott Hall (lawyer)
and Florence Marion Howe. Fitted with J. Leal. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Sarah Kidder Thomson at Ossining, New York, 21 December 1901. Children :
David Prescott, born 5 April 1904 (died 5 April 1904).
Maud, 27 October 1905 (died 1 November 1905).
Eleanor, 17 January 1907. Now practising architecture in Philadelphia.
" I finished my work at Princeton in June 1903, and then came to Philadelphia to fill a berth with Messrs. Cope & Stewardson ; left them in September 1904, to take a position with Mr. Horace Trumbauer; left him in July of this year, and have gone into the mill business, furnishing, designing, and erecting of interior mill work with Messrs. George W. Smith and Company. Have had no startling success or failure in a business way, but have always kept up a steady output of pretty good work. You will thus see that life in Philadelphia is as uneventful as it is re- puted. Am a firm believer in out-door life, and still walk a great deal, and fish and shoot at every convenient opportunity. General health excellent. I attribute this to a strong constitu- tion rather than to any care on my own part. Had I a son, he should go to Harvard, as I believe the education one secures there is the most valuable in almost every way. As a Princeton man once told me, ' Ever}' Harvard man knows something, and knows it pretty well.' I have not found this to be uniformly the case with graduates of other colleges."

In 1904, during the ab- sence of Dean Hurlbut, I carried on the routine work of his office. The next two summers I spent abroad. Since June 1907 I have been assistant to the secretary of the Faculty of Arts

JOHN GODDARD HART
Born at Newport, Rhode Island, 12 February 1870, of James Nicholas Hart
(boat-builder) and Annie Frances Goddard. Fitted at Rogers High. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Ethel Hastings at Andover, Massachusetts, 13 June 1899. Now Secretary of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard.
" My life during the last six years has been spent in the col- lege office, where as secretary I have had charge of the general correspondence of Harvard College. Much of my work is con- nected with admission to college, and during the last three years especially, as chairman of the Committee on Admission I have been trying to bring about a closer union between the college and the public high schools. My out-door interests centre about an old farm on the western slope of Monadnock Mountain. I bought this as an ' abandoned ' farm, and amuse myself in trying to reclaim it."
JOHN HENRY HARWOOD

Reed, 1 September 1907. Now manufacturing woolen machinery at Boston.
" Since last report I have been very active and engrossed in my business, and it has been on the whole fairly prosperous — until the panic struck in. My home life has been interesting and delightful. I have two husky little boys, who are more and more fun all the time. My health has been perfect, which, I suppose, is due to my strong constitution and a reasonable amount of out-door recreation, including yachting, tennis, and mountain climbing. I think my bo}rs will go to Harvard, be- cause, on the whole, I think it is the best college."
DRAYTON FRANKLIN HASTIE

Fourth Report 105
" I am still alive, in spite of Batchelder's doubts and past abuse, which last I class with the ' spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes ' ; but for nearly two years I have suffered greatly from an accidentally damaged right optic and a sympa- thetically affected left, and was advised last winter to give up the arduous and particularly trying work that I was doing for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and rest them. Since then I have been a wanderer. Early in February a friend and I shipped a couple of hunters from Philadelphia to Norfolk and started to ride from Norfolk to ' Magnolia,' my place near Charleston, about five hundred miles. We averaged thirty miles per travelling day, and after a wonderfully amusing trip reached Bennettsville, South Carolina, about three hundred and sixty miles from Norfolk, where my friend's mare developed a bad sore back, and we had to ship to Charleston. We spent March at Magnolia, and then went to Useppa Island, Punta Gorda Bay, Florida, to get a few tarpon out of the Passes, Captiva, and Boca Grande. We had excellent sport there, though most of the tarpon caught were under one hundred pounds, my largest scaling seventy-one, and then took a Pennsylvania and Ohio from Port Tampa for Key West, where, through the courtesy of a resident, we were given every convenience for a week's fish- ing, the memory of which will always linger, and greatly in- creased our tarpon score. We intended to come easily up the east coast in the yawl Lasca, New York Yacht Club, which had run over from Havana to pick us up, stopping at Miami, Palm Beach, and St. Augustine, but a telegram made us lay a course, though the Lasca is only a sixty footer, straight for the Charles- ton Light Ship, which we reached in four days after a very rough trip. Since then I have been in the Western North Caro- lina mountains, and this winter will probably, if I am able, prac- tise law in Charleston, and plant long staple cotton and truck at Magnolia, and, if my health holds, get some good fishing and shooting in dull times. I may, however, be in New York."
HORATIO HATHAWAY, JR.

io6 Class of 1893
" Since the last report my occupation has not changed in the main. I have held one or two official positions in clubs and have done some committee work for my town of a financial nature. I was a delegate this year to the convention called to choose delegates to the national convention. I think this is the extent of my public service. My chief out-door interest is riding to hounds, which I pursue assiduously. My health is excellent."
CHARLES SUMNER HAWES
Born at Chelsea, 7 June 18G9, of William Hawes (merchant) and Mari-
anna Jane Locke. Fitted at Winchester High. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Frances Wilson at Winchester, 15 December 1897. Now in Government Service at Washington.
" During the past six years my work has been with the De- partment of Commerce and Labor. Most of my time has been spent outside of Washington, either gathering statistics or see- ing that others gathered them. Among my assignments may be mentioned work in Pennsylvania and New York for the Cen- sus of Manufactures, in 1905, after which I returned to Wash- ington to assist in writing text for many bulletins issued by the Census Office, showing the industrial progress of the United States. From August 1906 to April 1907 I had charge of force of clerks who were gathering statistics relating to marriage and divorce in Greater New York City. While in Washington, super- vising other work on marriage and divorce, I took a special examination for the Bureau of Labor. This resulted in an appointment as a special agent for the investigation of Woman and Child Labor. This is by far the most interesting and in- structive work upon which I have been engaged. I was sent South in November 1907 to study the conditions of women and children in cotton mills. This work took me through most of the Southern states, east of the Mississippi River, sometimes in small towns, sometimes in large cities. I was particularly- impressed with the magnitude of the South, its great possibili- ties, and the rapid strides it has already made along industrial lines. The summer of 1908 I spent in New England on the same lines of investigation. My work has kept me out of doors a great deal. To the exercise which I thus get, together with a naturally good constitution, I attribute my usual good health.
Fourth Report 107
Typhoid October and November 1908 in Washington. I should be delighted to send my sons to Harvard, if I had any, but the i No change ' on my marriage and birth record does n't look promising for Harvard. I would send a son there for the same reason that I would recommend any young man to go to Cam- bridge : Because I believe that Harvard stands for more broad- ening influences and more culture than any other American university."
OSCAR BROWN HAWES
Born at Montclair, Xew Jersey, 24 February 1872, of George Elias Hawes
(dentist) and Adelaide Dunning. Fitted with I. E. Pearl. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Ann de Pourtales Day at Germantown, 17 February 1903. Children :
Adelaide Dunning, born 21 November 1903. Elizabeth Day, 3 April 1908. Now in Unitarian ministry at Philadelphia.
" Life in Philadelphia has been full of exciting interest. The political situation included many sensational elements, and I have been glad to join with the many others, especially in Ger- mantown, in the attempt to overcome the corrupt organization that dominated the city. In Germantown we have been in great measure successful, and though defeated in the city at large, much good has been accomplished. I have been a member of the executive committee of the Civil Service Reform Association, which has been persistently active in checking violation of the law and in arousing public interest in the ' merit ' system of government. As president of a large club of working boys and girls, I have been brought in constant contact with the problem of the poor, and of industrial and social conditions in general. This club had its origin and owes its maintenance in great measure to the Unitarian Church of which I am minister, and the work itself has proved no little part of my ministry. I was active in helping to arrange for and carry through the recent Peace and Arbitration Congress in Philadelphia. Each year there seems to be more and more in the life of the city that de- mands interest and service. Some golf and tennis in the spring and fall and a wholesome out-door vacation at my summer home at Lake George, New York, has kept me well. Still believe that Harvard is the best university in our country, and if I had a
io8 Class of 1893
son I would surely send him there, unless by chance he planned to be an engineer of some sort, in which case I would hope to have him at Harvard for a year or two anyway."
JOHN HEISS
Born at Crestline, Ohio, 5 October 1863, of John Heiss (farmer) and Eliza- beth Kissinger. Entered from Wittenberg College. Class Status: Entered Senior. Married Maud Souders at Dayton, Ohio, 3 September 1900. Children:
John Paul, born 7 January 1906.
Elizabeth Madeleine, 1 May 1907. Now Professor of German at Purdue University.
" ' A few stock phrases' would suit my uneventful career better than any fancy padding. I have been a member of the German Department of Purdue University since 1900, with just enough ' raise ' to keep me from moving. The main compensa- tions are pleasant surroundings, enough leisure to enjoy read- ing and other pursuits of the quiet life, and the pleasure of intimate association with so many fine, active young men. My health has always been nearly perfect, due, I should say, to regular, natural, not austere, habits. My sons shall go to Har- vard if they manifest the proper motive and desire ; they shall go to Purdue if they prefer it ; that is, if they have a bent for science or engineering: or they shall go into business, or any employment which seems suited to them and which they enjoy. I have been in college and have seen scores of men who were unhappy because they were literally pushed into a career that was distasteful to them. I believe in giving a son lucid advice, but not in insisting too much on his adopting it."
FREDERIC GRANTHAM HENDERSON
Born at Brookline, 21 May 1873, of Clarks Alan Henderson (British Con- sul) and Helen Elizabeth Power. Fitted with C. L. Rideoute. Class Status: Entered Senior. Now manufacturing pianos at Boston.
" Since the last report I have been connected with Chickering & Son, piano manufacturers ; for the past two years as buyer. Interested in baseball and tennis, but have very little spare time to devote to either. Not mixed up in politics or charitable work. Whether or not I should send my sons to Harvard would prob-

ably depend on a great many circumstances. Not being mar- ried or engaged, or in immediate danger of being engaged, I have not allowed this question to cause me undue worry."

22 January 1907). Now teaching in English High School at Boston.
" After an interruption of three years, I resumed teaching September 1906, going to the Nashua (New Hampshire) High School, where I met for the first time our classmate H. G. Fay, principal of the school. Although our relations were extremely friendly and pleasant (from my point of view), I resigned after six weeks to take a position in the English High School, Boston, where I have been for the past two years. In regard to out- door interests, I have devoted much of the summer to playing tennis, sailing a small boat, and reading George Ade's fables, or hearing them read while sailing. Besides, I can show a photo- graph of myself staggering under the weight of a huge codfish held in one hand. I do not know who caught the fish. It may be best to exhibit it as a salmon and pass on quickly without comment."

Jack, when last seen, reported himself as manager of the new oil-process copper-smelting concern known as the Arizona Smelting Company of Tucson, Arizona, where he had been employed since November, 1908. Mail addressed to him there is not returned, but you know how it is when a fellow 's busy.

After two years of
Fourth Report in
this work, being unable to have my headquarters established in Boston, as I had expected, and having gotten my system pumped so full of Hudson River malaria that the chatter of my teeth kept me from sleeping nights, I decided to join the army (of the unemployed), and my present occupation is the search for some respectable means of earning a living. (Suggestions or propositions from commiserating friends and classmates care- fully considered.) My out-door interests are confined wholly to yachting. Was on Commodore Morss' Dervish in Marblehead- Bermuda ocean race last year, and have done a great deal of cruising and racing on her and other boats. Not yet being married, the question as to what I should do with my sons when they reach college age is distinctly remote, but I never ex- pect to be pointed out as a Harvard man who sent his sons to any other college. I would rather die rich, and be disgraced that way."

Harriet Smith, born 3 February 1900.
John Lewis, 3d, 4 June 1906. Now an engineer at Babylon, Long Island.
" In the fall of 1903 I came to New York City and entered the employment of the Long Island Railroad at Jamaica, New York, as draughtsman, and later as head draughtsman, on the Bay Ridge Improvement which the railroad had commenced in Brooklyn. This was an extensive work of abolishing grade crossings, establishing large freight-yards, and a large freight terminal on the Lower Bay at Bay Ridge, near the Brush Ter- minal. In 1905 I went into the Topographical Bureau of the City of Brooklyn, and was on the work of establishing triangu- lation station around and in Jamaica Bay for the layout of the street system. Later was in charge of the computing division of the office on street opening and drainage maps for the city. Was appointed assistant engineer in November 1906 to the Board of Water Supply of New York City, and placed in charge of the Babylon Division of the Long Island Department on the investigation of the underground waters of Suffolk County for

an additional water supply for the City of Brooklyn. The work consisted of surveys for an aqueduct location, estimates of cost, etc., and of surveys along the proposed location."
ERNEST OSGOOD HILER

" Have continued to practise law with the same firm, which has been enlarged by the addition of Samuel H. Pillsbury, Har- vard Law '97, so as to read Tower, Talbot, Hiler & Pillsbury, our offices now being at 35 Congress Street, Boston. Music continues to be my avocation. The Harvard Musical Associa- tion, Cecilia Society, Massachusetts Choir Guild, and Footlight Orchestra, in all of which I hold official positions, divide my spare moments. My chief out-door sports are motoring, tennis, and mountain climbing. In the summer of 1906 I visited Germany, the Tirol, Venice, and Paris, taking in the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Mozart's birth at Salz- burg. In the summer of 1907 I crossed by the southern route, doing some climbing at Zermatt, and a week of opera in Paris. Still a devoted victim of single blessedness. General health has been good, due, I believe, to an adequate annual vacation, mod- erate exercise, and diversified mental activity. I should send sons (if I had any) to Harvard for reasons too many to enumerate."

" My out-door interests are centred around horseback riding, and I attribute my perfect health to my devotion to it during the past fifteen years. I occasionally play golf, but do not care much for it. Am not a charitable or public service worker in any field, as my time is much taken up with business. I am un- married, but if I were the possessor of boys, I would encour- age them to enter Harvard ; but if they showed a preference for any other college, would let them have their choice. I be- long to the Queen City, University, Riding, Automobile, Golf, Tennis, Country, and Harvard clubs of this city and New York City."

Courtland, born 12 March 1906. Now living at Washington.
" I was professor at Bryn Mawr in classical archaeology for over ten years, and severed my connection with the institution in 1904. That autumn I went to Athens as Annual Director of the American School of Classical Studies (to be more exact, as pro- fessor of Greek Language and Literature, which in my case was rather a misnomer). I spent the winter in Athens, then made a six-weeks' trip to Egypt, and frequent trips into the interior of Greece, with a final journey through Asia Minor. In the autumn of 1905 I settled in Washington, where I now spend my winters, but am not engaged in any active work, I regret to say, as the town affords few opportunities for an archaeologist; so that beyond keeping up to date in my work, looking after my
8
1 14 Cla ss of i 8 g 3
mother's business affairs, I have no regular occupation beyond reading. My general health is excellent, which I attribute to plenty of exercise, refusal to worry, and very mild indulgence in alcoholic liquors. Automobiling and golf constitute my out- door interests. My only public services (unpaid), if such they can be called, are serving as a United States delegate to the Archaeological Congress, held in Athens in the spring of 1905, and my appointment as United States delegate to the Con- gress in Cairo in March 1909. The last Congress I found enormously interesting, and am looking forward eagerly to the next one. I have one son, Courtland Hoppin, bora March 12, 1906. It is my intention to send him to Harvard, first, because it is my alma mater, and secondly, because I believe it to be the best college in the country. But it will depend very largely on the boy's taste or bent, since in case he shows any decided leanings or love for art or music, I think the time of his education might better be spent elsewhere. However, that is in the hands of the gods, as one can hardly forecast the future of a boy of three. My life these last years has been a very happy one, if not crowded with incidents, but I have hopes of a chance of some active occupation some day or other."

" Since the last report I have been studying hard to become a painter, and during that period have spent several months abroad at three different times. I am as keen as ever about lawn- tennis, and as for philanthropy, I take a great interest in a boys' club in New York. The happiest and most important event of my life was my marriage in April 1907. My health is very good now, and each year I seem to grow stronger. I should certainly send my sons, if I should have any, to Harvard, not because of the store of knowledge they might acquire there, but on account of the cultivated interests which would be awak- ened in them."

Howard entered college from Nobles' School, Boston, and his early interests were with the Glee Club, of which he was a mem- ber, and in the D. K. E. Theatricals. Later he took part in the Hasty Pudding show — "The Sphinx." While not known to a large number of his class, his marked individuality, quaint sense of humor, and lovable character brought him a circle of very real friends to whom he meant much.
His chief interest had always been with his pencil, and on leaving college he worked successively in the architects' offices
n6 Class of 1893
of Hartwell & Richardson, Wheelwright & Haven, and A. W. Longfellow. In 1900 he opened an office for the practice of architecture, and in 1906 formed a partnership with C. K. Cum- mings in Boston. His work from the start showed distinct originality, always subservient to excellent taste, and, above all, possessed a certain quiet distinctive charm. Beside a large number of very interesting country houses, he designed one of the important buildings for the McLean Asylum and the Ortho- paedic Ward at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
It was just as he was making a distinct place for himself in his profession that a trouble of the heart showed itself, which, recurring in a more serious form, necessitated his removal to the hospital in November 1909. From that time until his death on March 24, 1910, he was suffering from what was known to be an incurable disease.
His loss is keenly felt by those who were brought in contact with him for the singularly calm, straightforward way in which he faced life, which, at certain periods, was very difficult ; and the success with which he overcame many obstacles and rose steadily in his profession, notwithstanding his straightened cir- cumstances, will always remain to them a source of inspiration.

six years, other than those above reported, which seem worthy of record. For two years after my marriage I lived in Boston, and then moved to Concord, where I have lived ever since, en- joying life in the open as much as time would permit, with tennis as the chief attraction and taking a more or less active part in the affairs of the town. I have travelled a little, — west to the Pacific, also southward, — and done a little so-called hunt- ing in the Maine woods, but each year find it harder to get far away from the interests which centre in and about Boston."

Married Cora Olive Cissna in Wayne County, Illinois, 1G August 1881. Now Secretary of the Illinois Educational Commission.
" I am still connected with the University of Chicago, but am on leave of absence to discharge the duties of the secretary of the Illinois Educational Commission. My duties are to rewrite the school laws of the state and to formulate plans for improv- ing the school system of the state. The University of Chicago made me a Doctor of Philosophy in 1898. I am now, as you see, a ' doctor of laws,' causa honoris! For four years I 've lived on a small place just out of Chicago — seven acres. I sold this year two hundred and fifty dollars' worth of strawberries and about fifty dollars' worth of onions. Seven acres and lib- erty !

" I lead a quiet life in a university town, where the democratic atmosphere admits of and invites absolute independence. The best that nature affords in a climate that invigorates in winter and is sought after by thousands in summer is at my door for the asking. We have spent a large part of one year, since the last report, travelling in Europe, visiting old scenes where we spent some years during the last century.

" About three years ago I resigned my position of secretary- treasurer of the Indiana Title Guaranty and Loan Company, and was elected treasurer of the American Central Life Insur- ance Company, in which I am a considerable stockholder. I enjoy golf, riding, and water sports, and engage in them when- ever I can get away from the office. I am a director of the Indianapolis Art Association and am much interested in its work. My general health is excellent. I attribute it to pretty careful supervision on my part and the advice of the best doctors I can find whenever I am ill. I, of course, shall use every effort to send both of my boys to Harvard, because I am convinced that there are no better opportunities anywhere to get a liberal education and, if need be, the most exact training in any line.

ROBERT WILLIAM HUNTER
Born at Shaffer Farm, Pennsylvania, 14 December 1869, of Robert Hunter
(oil shipper) and Mary Johnson. Fitted at Titusville (Pennsylvania) High.
Class Status: Special, 1889-90. Joined Class Sophomore year. Died at Roxbury, 18 May 1908.
The father, Robert Hunter, was born in Dumfrieshire, Scot- land. Upon coming to this country he engaged in the oil busi- ness in Western Pennsylvania, and died while his son Robert was in his teens. The son, Robert, fitted for college at the Titusville High School and entered Harvard in the fall of 1889 as a special student. His mother came to Cambridge with him and rented an old-fashioned house on Appian Way, adjoining the house then occupied by Prof. A. B. Hart. The second year of his college course, Hunter became a regular member of the Class of '93, and upon his graduation, received his de- gree of A.B. magna cum laude. Throughout his undergradu- ate course he applied himself very closely to his college work, his aim from the beginning being to fit himself either for teach- ing or the law. Outside of his college courses, which he thor- oughly mastered, the only activities in which he participated were the college choir, of which he was a member throughout his college career, and the Harvard Union, at that time the only debating society in the university, in which he took an
JC<r\HAJ~~ nZltt^yn, S\^vvJj[h^
Fourth Report 121
active part. It was as a member of the Union that the writer first met Hunter, and among many able and promising men came to recognize his native ability, his mastery of detail, his keen logic, and Ins remarkable grasp of social, economic, and political questions.
After graduating with the Class, Hunter, having chosen the law as his walk in life, entered the Harvard Law School, where he took the full three-years' course receiving his LL.B. in 1896. In the same year he was admitted to the Suffolk Bar, and im- mediately formed a partnership with Colonel Spaulding. That an old and experienced member of the Bar should take him into partnership immediately upon his graduation is sufficient evidence of Hunter's ability and the thoroughness of Ins training.
For almost ten years Hunter applied himself assiduously to the practice of the law, and it looked as if the public service would never have the benefit of his ability and devotion. In the fall of 1905, however, he reluctantly consented to be a candidate for the Common Council of Cambridge on the Non- partisan ticket, and was elected by a large majority, and re- elected at the election of 1906. As a member of the Council, Hunter made a deep impression on his colleagues by his grasp of city affairs and his high conception of public duty, and on the death of President Henry C. Stetson, in April 1907, he was by common consent elected his successor. As presi- dent of the Common Council he enjo3red in a remarkable de- gree the thorough confidence and respect of members of both political parties, his unfailing courtesy and impartiality, as well as his conscientious devotion to the best interests of the city being shown in every act. On account of his failing health he declined a re-election in the fall of 1907. He was taken ill late in Januar}>- 1908 with pulmonary tuberculosis, and in spite of the best medical care, first at his home and later at the New England Baptist Hospital in Roxbur}^, he steadily grew weaker and weaker, until on Monday, May 18, he passed quietly away. He was never married.
" Rob " Hunter, as his friends loved to call him, represented the best type of a Harvard man. To him life was an oppor- tunity for service. Not what he could get out of his profession, his politics, his religion, but what he could put into them of his ability, his knowledge, and of his very life itself was his con-
122 Class of 1893
stant aim. The world respects a good man although it does not always follow him, and " Rob " Hunter, although poor in this world's goods, was a good man. Although he has been taken away from us in the flower of his young manhood, he has left behind him as an example and inspiration to us and to all Harvard men, young and old, a good name, which can never die.

" Since last report in 1903 I have been practising architec- ture in New York. My natural modesty prevents me from enumerating my masterpieces, while the art of New York bluff that I am trying to acquire forces me to state that I have been moderately successful in my profession. At any rate I have just managed, on the 31st of August of each year, to pay my membership dues at the Harvard Club (last call September 1). I have succeeded in dropping a French pose acquired arduously after six years' study in Paris ; maintain that New York is the greatest city on earth ; consider my native town, Boston, pro- vincial ; have not yet been arrested, divorced, or mentioned in the yellow journals, and exhibit great Harvard enthusiasm when- ever I meet Gilman Collamore. My business address is 18 West Thirty-first Street, where all Harvard men will receive now, as in the past, the same attention and consideration as heretofore. Orders executed with promptness and exactitude."

" In 1903 I was vicar of the Church of the Ascension, Boston. This church does a considerable organized work among a popu- lation of poor people. A good parish house was put up while I was there. In the spring of 1906 I came to Christ Church, East Orange, New Jersey. The church is in the centre of the city, in the midst of a large and growing population, and the work gives me plenty to do. I don't take as much exercise as I ought, but my health is good. It is probably helped by the fact that I lead a pretty regular life ; perhaps also by the cultivation of serenity. I have naturally been connected with charitable en- terprises by reason of being in the ministry, but rarely in an official way. In Boston I was a probation officer. I certainly should send a boy to Harvard."

" Have spent the past six years in railroad employment, as assistant general freight agent, then general freight agent, of the Big Four Railway, and in December 1906 came to Chicago as freight traffic manager of the New York Central Lines west of Buffalo. While the work is hard, it is most pleasant. Have taken interest in golf and tennis and running an automobile. Have had excellent health, due to a reasonable amount of ex- ercise, plenty of fresh air, and plenty of sleep. My wife and I are looking forward with great happiness to sending our sons to Harvard, as, of course, I love Harvard, and evidently have been able to make my wife believe Harvard develops the best men. This was something to accomplish, as her family have always been Yale people. To sum it all up, to have a happy family, plenty of health and work, leaves very little else to desire."
WILLIAM HENRY ISELY
Born at St. Joseph, Missouri, 8 August 18G5, of Christian H. Isely (farmer)
and Elizabeth Dubach. Entered from Ottawa University, Kansas. Class Status: Entered Senior.
Married Frances Elizabeth Nickerson at Clearwater, Kansas, 30 August 1893. Children:
Merrill Nickerson, born 4 August 1894. Frank Crawford, 20 December 1898. Died at Wichita, Kansas, 14 August 1907.
Isely was an unusual man. Son of a Swiss immigrant, who fought in the Union army for the preservation of his adopted country, he was born just after the close of the Civil War in a region where the struggle had been most bitter, on the border
UJcLLltf^t^ ^^Lx/hy ^L^JLy
Fourth Report 125
between Kansas and Missouri. He was a twin, frail in appear- ance but sinewy. Most of his boyhood was spent on a Kansas farm, and much of it in the saddle. He did not go to school until he had reached an age when most boys are ready for college. Yet he did not grow up illiterate. He was home- taught and hand-raised in a time and community in which fun- damental problems of the individual and of the state were being wrestled with. He came of good racial and family stocks. This and the surroundings of his youth may account for the characteristics which we saw in him.
Although Isely was below medium in size, and slight in build, he excelled in athletics, especially baseball and tennis ; he was naturally handicapped for football, yet he played on his col- lege team in the nineties. He was an excellent shot with the rifle, and an enthusiastic member of the Kansas militia. Only a year or two before his death, in a competitive test he was chosen to represent Kansas in the annual rifle match between the militia of the several states. He was intensely patriotic, as became the son of such a father, and gave much time and thought to public questions and public service. At one time he was a member of the city council in Wichita, Kansas. He was honest, fearless, and outspoken, a dangerous adversary to the spoilsman, or to any one else who opposed what he con- ceived to be right.
When the writer first knew him he was a student in Ottawa University, Kansas. His interests as a student were wide and his standing high. He and the young woman who afterward became his wife led their class at Ottawa. Upon graduation he was offered and accepted an instructorship in Science at his alma mater. A year later he came to Harvard to study. Al- though the educational opportunities which he had enjoyed up to that time were limited, Isely made a good record at Har- vard. He specialized in American History, in which subject he naturally was interested from the circumstances of his youth, and this interest had been further stimulated by an inspiring teacher in college, now a judge in a western state. After leaving Harvard, Isely became professor of History in Fairmount Col- lege, Wichita, Kansas, a position which he held at the time of his death. He was then engaged in preparing a " History of Kansas," from original sources. He had also become Dean of Fairmount College, and upon the death of its president, heavy
126 Class of 1893
administrative duties devolved upon him which doubtless has- tened his own death. W. E. C.

Patrick Tracy, 3d, 19 November 190G. Now manufacturing cotton at Boston.
" 1904 was principally notable for the arrival of our first child, a girl. I formed an association with M. C. Taylor of New York, Cornell '94, whereby we bought an unused plant of the American Malting Company at Le Roy, New York, and made it into a cotton mill. We rebuilt two of the buildings, installed ten thousand spindles of the best machinery and equip- ment, and started up early in 1906. About the same time we bought the Warner Cotton Mills of Newburyport, — an old mill containing twenty-two thousand spindles, — and added a lot of new machinery to bring it up to date. I became treasurer and general manager of the two mills. We then organized the Boston Yarn Company, of which I am president, to sell their product.
Fourth Report 127
In 1906 my son was born, — a fine strong lad, fifth of the name in direct descent, all of us Harvard men, or to be, except the first, and he made up by being the son of a treasurer of the college. This year also the Lowell Weaving Company of Lowell, of which I am treasurer, outgrew its business to such an extent that it was necessary to extend considerably. We built a large concrete mill, the finest of its kind, abandoning the old one, and also tripled our capital, moving in a year ago. Altogether the last four years, what with building, buying, living, and organiz- ing, have been extremely busy ones, and I am now looking for- ward for a time to simply running the mills. I spend my spare time sailing, playing tennis, baseball, hockey, and sleep out- doors five months out of the twelve. My wife and I spend our vacations in Maine, where we revert to the natural life as nearly as possible, living on what we can catch or shoot or pick, cos- tumed in our oldest, and sleeping where we happen to be, — on board ship or in our tent. I believe our fifteenth reunion was much the most successful in our history. I am sure I had the time of my life, even if I did get licked in tennis. I would sug- gest that we have an outing day each year before Commence- ment, and as absence makes the heart grow fonder, I am sure there will be a good crowd of fellows to renew the old times."

" I have been occupied as a geologist with teaching, and ad- ministering the work of the Department of Geology in the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, and I have occasionally con- ducted expeditions. In the winters of 1903—4 and 1906 I visited mining camps in the Nevada desert. In the summer of 1904* I conducted a joint Harvard-Technology summer school of geol- ogy in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In the spring of 1906 I visited Vesuvius. In the summer of 1907 I cruised with a sci- entific party exploring the Aleutian Islands in Behring Sea. Otherwise I have done little, except write a few scientific papers. My out-door interests have been tramping, motoring, and motor-
128 Class of 1893
boating. I was for some years junior warden of Christ Church, Cambridge. In 1908 I introduced a petition into the Massa- chusetts legislature, having in view the publication of a State Geological Atlas. The subject was postponed to the next Gen- eral Court. My health is excellent, owing to a life largely out of doors. I shall certainly send my son to Harvard University."

GEORGE FULTON JOHNSON
Born at Upper Stewiacke, Nova Scotia, 15 June 1872, of James Johnson

Eileen Louise, born 16 August 1902. Died at Calgary, 1 1 September 1906.
After leaving Harvard, George Fulton Johnson lectured on philosophy one session at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and spent three sessions at the Theological Semi- nary in the same city. Summer vacations were spent in mission work at various stations in the Maritime Provinces. Graduat- ing as B.D. in theology, he was for a while in charge of a con-
Fourth Report 129
gregation in Digby County, and then proceeded to Oxford, Edinburgh, Halle, and Berlin. At Oxford, in company with a small coterie of kindred spirits, he took a course of lectures from Dr. Sanday, in his own library, on a Critical Study of John's Gospel. One winter was spent in Edinburgh, where he fell under the influence of Dr. Marcus Dods, the most eminent of Scottish New Testament scholars. In Halle, he gave especial attention to Dogmatics and the History of Dogma, under Kahler and Loofs. In Berlin, he took Ethics from Paulsen, Dogmatics from Kaftan and Seeberg, History of Doctrine from Harnack, and special New Testament interpretation from Weiss. He also studied for a shorter time under Wellhausen, at a university in. Hanover, on the borders of the Harz Mountains.
Immediately upon his return from the Continent, Mr. John- son was called to St. Andrews Church, Westmount, Montreal, where he remained for five years, resigning on account of in- creasing ill-health. His malady, the insidious white plague of the race, never manifested itself until some two years before his death, but there is now little doubt that the seed was sown dur- ing the Harvard time, when he helped to nurse a fellow-student and compatriot, who died in his arms. At the first collapse his congregation sent him for six months to the sanatorium at St. Agathe, among the pine forests of Quebec. Pronounced fit, he returned to work; but the increasing toil of so consuming a profession as the pastorate and the continual pulpit-strain upon the vocal organs, together with an exceptionally damp and " snell " winter, accelerated the disease which, meantime, at- tacked the throat. Too late, he was ordered West, to the plains that rise to meet the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. The disappointment of leaving those he loved and who loved him, and the green earth, with its opulence of beauty, of dying with his work scarcely begun, was very great. Yet when he yielded to the inevitable, his resignation had an element of blitheness in it that seemed to enhance the tragedy. Never once did he lose his keen interest in men and in life ; there was never, until death had actually smitten the body, any numbness of spirit. And he cried out one day, " What matters it whether a man die at thirty or sixty? Years are nothing."
Although Philosophy was his first love and remained a great fascination, he never regretted his ultimate choice of Theology.
130 Classofi8g3
The names of Miinsterberg, Seth, and Paulsen were great names to him, but he found something more positive in Theology than in Philosophy. Still I have no doubt that, had he lived, his mind would more and more have turned to his old love. He had at- tained to considerable scholarship, and was undoubtedly one of the brightest of the younger scholars of the Canadian Church. The stuff was in him out of which scholars are made. In Mon- treal, where he spent the last five years of his life, he was the youngest member of the Round Table, an exclusive club limited to twelve, whose qualifications must be : first, courtesy and geni- ality of temper ; and first again, scholarship. Unknown to him- self, shortly before he died, his name was before the board of a Canadian college as successor to a distinguished New Testament interpreter. And he remains to us, who loved him well and entered into his keen delights of life and high ambitions of work in the world, — he remains to us fairer than our fairest dreams.

Hope Charles Everett Johnson, 2d, will go to Harvard, not only because his grandfather and father went, but because I think the advantages derived, both during and after college, are superior to other places. It looks as if I should not get East before the twenty- fifth anniversary, but then I shall go if I have to walk."

" I have devoted the greater part of the last six years to business, and while naturally inclined to charity and public ser- vice work generally, it has not been feasible for me to engage in efforts of this sort of late. My health is good, due primarily, I presume, to a naturally strong constitution, and secondarily, to the fact that my habits have always been regular. Had I sons, I certainly should want them to attend Harvard."

Richard Coolidge, 13 June 1902. Now in provision business at Boston.
132 Class of 1893
" In 1903-4 my nervous condition was bad, but after a few months' change of surroundings in a trip through the South and in some farming and poultry raising, I entered into the pro- vision business. This work requires such constant application that it is impossible to give a thought to other interests. My daughter, now in the Latin School, is ambitious to go to Rad- cliffe. My older boy, now in the last grade of the grammar school, is enthusiastic to go to Harvard. I am most anxious that my two boys go to Harvard, for there I believe the whole spirit of the institution tends to develop the largest manhood out of whatever the boy possesses. The courses of study are the best, probably, but the associations, the whole intellectual at- mosphere of Harvard means much more in making the best man possible out of the boy."
JOHN MARTIN KENDRICKEN
Born at Boston, 25 November 1870, of Paul Henry Kendricken (mechanical
engineer) and Cecilia Garvey. Fitted at Boston Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising law at Boston.
" In 1905 dissolved partnership with William S. Bangs, '92. Have been diligently practising law, occasionally taking a little rest to go fishing or shooting. General health good — always was ; happily endowed with a good constitution, inherited. My father is now seventy-four, and still actively engaged in busi- ness, and shows no indications of senile decline. I should cer- tainly send my sons to Harvard had I any. There I believe the most liberal education can be had. The atmosphere of learning is greater there than elsewhere. Harvard will undoubtedly al- ways lead in instruction of every kind. Other reasons too numer- ous to mention."

Fourth Report 133
" Since the last report, I have suffered by ' fire and flood.' My books, manuscripts, pictures were all lost by fire. They repre- sented years of work and associations dear, and it seemed like losing a part of myself. In a more severe trial, sympathy and brotherly kindness came not from those from whom it was ex- pected. For ten years I gave my time and strength and all my earnings to the work of the ministry. Sorrow taught me that religion was more sustaining than I had preached, and its insti- tutions less valuable than I had imagined. I have never had more faith than I have to-day in the realities of religion — nor less confidence in its institutions. In literary work I am pre- paring a series of lectures on the history of painting, to be given at several schools this winter. My ' hobbies ' are chess and chickens, and in both I go in for ' blood.' Since quitting the ministry, I have looked after a fruit farm, and written life insurance, and contemplate no immediate change in the program."

" Still at Emerson College and doing concert work ; have had some opera contracts offered, but dislike being away from home so much. Find the scales register a little more each year ; now it 's two hundred and fifteen pounds, which is a plenty. I play tennis, swim, ride a wheel some, and sail a cat-boat summers, yet the weight stays. Have done a little lecture work; not very big stunts, however, and with only so-so success. Was in Europe with Mrs. Kenney from March 1 to August 1, 1907. London and Paris mostly, with side trips. As my two-year-old son is red-headed, I suppose he '11 go to college where he pleases ; would like him to go to Harvard, but I consider the size a draw- back in some ways, and an advantage in others."

Richard George, 26 December 1907. Now farming at Binghamton, New York.
" The question of sending children away to school is a prob- lem I shall meet later. Expense may decide it negatively. Dis- tance from home is another aspect. I have experienced a reac- tion from my own Andover, Harvard, and European days, and feel usually that I should prefer my boys to select a vocation at an early age, and so increase their chance of success. As to girls, I am inclined to favor the domestic girl, who fits herself to be a good wife and mother. However, circumstances alter cases, and parents can but feel their way along, doing the best they can for all concerned. ' The rest is silence.

Exceedingly in- terested in all out-door sports, — horses, motoring, shooting, and breeding dogs, my special hobby. I cannot conceive how

Now living at Berek-Plage, France.
" The great event of my life since the third report has been my marriage. We spent the winter of 1903—4 in Boston and New York. Late in the spring of 1904 we sailed for England. Then we went to picturesque Norway, after which we visited Upsala in Sweden. We wintered near Stockholm. In the fol- lowing summer we travelled through Sweden to Copenhagen, and thence via Hamburg to France, where we settled in Berck-Plage. In that health resort we have remained ever since, with the ex- ception of a few months in London and Paris, where we enjoyed together sights which we had each seen in our single days. My out-door interests are walking and tennis. My general health is excellent, attributable to a robust constitution and a regular life."

" My time is largely spent out of doors, in riding, driving, and superintending my farm, which is devoted to livestock mostly. Charitable work in this section is unnecessary. There are only four persons in the county poor-house. Whether my sons would go to Harvard or not is a matter that would depend to a great extent on their inclinations."

Largely railway work. Have interests in large contracts as a partner, each year, excepting for two years ending December 31, 1907, during which time I served a term as city engineer of Dayton, Ohio. Four years ago I served a term as president of the Ohio Society of Civil Engineers. My health is good. Height, six feet; weight, two hundred pounds. I will likely send my sons to Harvard."

GAILLARD THOMAS LAPSLEY
Born at New York City, 14 November 1871, of Howard Lapsley (stock- broker) and Katherine Aldis Willard. Fitted at Berkeley School. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now Lecturer in History at Cambridge University.
" In the spring of 1903 I left the University of California to take up the position of assistant professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania. Having been offered a fellowship and lectureship at Trinity College, Cambridge, I resigned my post in Philadelphia in the spring of 1904 and went to Eng- land in the autumn of that year. In Cambridge, besides my ordinary college work, which consisted of lectures open to all members of the university, private teaching of Trinity men, a good deal of examining for prizes, scholarships, and ordinary tests, and some committee work, I served the University as ex- aminer in the Historical Tripos for two successive years, and as member of its Special Board for History, and various com- mittees of the same. For three years I was one of the three editors of the forthcoming ' Cambridge Medieval History,' but this post I have resigned. In the autumn of 1904 I received the degree of M.A. honoris causa from the University of Cam- bridge. In February 1908 I was taken seriously ill, and left Cambridge on leave of absence. In June, and again in Sep- tember, I was obliged to undergo surgical operations of a very grave character, but was so fortunate as to make good re-
138 Classofi8g3
coveries on each occasion. In November 1908 I returned to America, and came West after a short stay in New York and Lenox. If I had sons I should assuredly send them to Harvard."
RALPH CLINTON LARRABEE

Married Ada Perkins Miller at Newton, 17 September 1900. Now practising medicine at Boston.
" Since the last report I have continued to practise medicine in Boston. About three years ago I resigned my position as assistant in Histology at Harvard, and accepted that of instruc- tor in Medicine and Hematology at Tufts College Medical School. In a professional way I guess I am doing about as well as the average man of my age. As to out-door interests, I do little, except drive an auto too slowly to get arrested. A year ago I helped write a ' Guide to Paths and Camps in the White Mountains,' published by the Appalachian Mountain Club. My only charitable or unpaid public service work is in connection with the Boston City Hospital and Boston Dispensary, as well as several charitable committees. My health is all right, except that I am growing fat."

" During the last six years I have continued my work, begun in 1899, of teaching Greek at the Phillips Exeter Academy. I
Fourth Report 139
hope to publish soon some chips from my workshop in the shape of a Greek grammar for schools. Three years ago I published ' Studies in the Life of St. Paul ' — the fruit of eight years of Bible-class teaching at Exeter. My avocation is music. A long time ago I took up the study of the violoncello; at the present time it is my good fortune to play every week in a pri- vate trio devoted to the interpretation of the best chamber music. Walking is my chief form of exercise. To this activity the en- virons of Exeter invite: off toward the north is picturesque Portsmouth; on the east are the Boar's Heads, Rye and Hamp- ton beaches, and the loud-sounding sea ; while on the south and west is a charming country-side. The opportunity is at hand for either a long, strenuous tramp or a quiet ramble."
WALTER AUGUSTUS LECOMPTE
Born at Syracuse, 24 July 1870, of Edwin Augustus Lecompte ( clergyman )
and Frances Eliza Draper. Fitted at Newton High. Class Status: Regular A.B. Died at Boston, 13 January 1907.
Walter Augustus Lecompte was born in Syracuse, New York, July 24, 1870, and died in Boston, January 13, 1907. As the son of a Baptist clergyman, his youthful years were passed in a home influence of the most exemplary character. His later years certainly bore good fruit to this early training. In 1889 he graduated from the Newton High School and entered college in the fall of the same year. At this time it was already his intention to make medicine his profession. With this end in view he devoted a considerable part of his college course to those studies which he thought would help him later in his medical work. He was a conscientious student. In college he did not participate to any great extent in its social life. He had his small coterie of friends, who were all in all to him. The summer after his freshman year he spent in travel abroad with his room- mate John H. Harwood.
In the fall of 1893 he entered the Harvard Medical School. During his course there he showed the same enthusiasm and conscientiousness which characterized his college course. He was among the first ten chosen from his Class to the Boylston Medical Society. His appointment on examination as house
140 Classofi8g3
officer at the Massachusetts General Hospital was the real be- ginning of his professional life. Here were developed and dis- played the qualities which later marked him as above his fel- lows. One of his contemporaries speaks of his service there as folloAvs : " His work was carefully and methodically done. He was never in a hurry, and yet always well up in his work. The strains and stresses incident to such a position were borne with unusual evenness of temper and he took a broader and more comprehensive view of the situation than most of his contempo- raries. His solid figure, genial face, and placid expression gave confidence to his patients and comfort to his associates. Here were clearly shown the qualities which gave him an unusual grip on the community later."
The summer of 1899 was passed in Gottingen in perfecting his knowledge of German. Thence he proceeded to Vienna, where he studied with the late Professor Politzer until the spring of 1900. July 1900 found him again in Boston as an Aural House Sur- geon in the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary. After eighteen months of service he left the Infirmary to begin the private practice of his specialty. He opened an office at 20 Newbury Street in January 1901. Almost immediately he was appointed a clinical assistant at the Infirmary, and in the following year was promoted to the position of Assistant Aural Surgeon. This position he most ably filled up to the time of his death. In 1903 he received the appointment of assistant in the Department of Otologj' in the Harvard Medical School. He was Aurist to the Baptist Hospital and to the Long Island Hospital. He was a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, American Medical Association, Boston Society of Medi- cal Sciences, American Otological Society, and of the New England Otological, Rhinological, and Laryngological Society.
These are the main events in the life of our classmate. It was the good fortune of some of us to know him well during all these years of preparation and active professional life. His friend- ship was delightful, inspiring, and helpful. He was a true friend, who commanded our respect, confidence, admiration, and more than all, our love. He was meeting with more than ordinary success in his chosen field. His was the type to inspire confi- dence. He was possessed of excellent judgment. His future seemed very bright. Every one who knew him well knew in his heart that the highest attainments in his specialty awaited but
knib^d>/l<UH*^
Fourth Report 141
the growth of his powers. On the third day of January 1907, when apparently in the best of health, he was stricken with ap- pendicitis, which ten days later caused his death. As a memorial a devoted uncle endowed the chair of Otology in the Medical School. It will always be known as the Walter Augustus Le- compte Professorship of Otology. F. M. S.
CHARLES HENRY LINCOLN
Born at Millbury, Massachusetts, 22 April 1869, of William Henry Lincoln
(physician) and Eunice Reid. Fitted at Worcester Academy. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Mary Frances Angell at Lewiston, Maine, 28 August 1901. Now Librarian of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester.
" In 1903 was in Library of Congress, Washington. In 1907, April, came to American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Causes: (1) rather poor health, due to inheri- tance, and aggravated by damp climate; (2) relative position in small puddle versus large puddle; (3) health of wife; and (4) Massachusetts and my relatives versus Washington and political relations. Some regrets, but on the whole better pleased. In 1906 issued: * Naval Records of the American Revo- lution,' now in the Library of Congress. In 1907, ' A Calendar of the Manuscripts of Sir William Johnson, in the American Antiquarian Society, followed in 1908 by a similar ' Calendar of the Manuscripts of Colonel John Bradstreet ' in the Society. Have just published my ' Calendar of the Manuscripts relating to the French and Indian War,' in the possession of the Society, forming Volume XI of their ' Transactions.' Public charitable work has been limited to occasional talks on history, manu- scripts, development of political parties in America, before so- cial settlements, clubs, etc. As to sending son to Harvard, the answer is theoretical. I think it would depend on the social position I could give him at the start, and whether or not I could guarantee him a business position when he graduated."
ERIC ISIDORE LINDH

8 January, 1910.) Now in Congregational ministry at Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
142 Class of 1893
" Seeking a larger liberty, I left the Baptist for the Congre- gational fold five years ago, since which time I have been busy building a new church organization in a manufacturing section of our city, of an institutional character. Hence we have a public reading-room, gymnasium, social halls, and other facilities for social and moral as well as religious work. My recreations, as for years, are camping and tramping in summer, and bicycling whenever conditions allow. Am very fond of swimming, fishing, and life in the woods, and have taken extensive tramping trips. My health is splendid, and strength equal to my needs. Outside my professional lines of service, I have served as school trustee, public library director, and at present am director of the As- sociated Charities of Pawtucket and Central Falls, and am president of the Rhode Island Home Missionary Society. My studies are as they were at college, — linguistics, especially Greek and Semitics, and philosophy. In recent years have studied racial and immigration questions very assiduously, and have written and spoken on the same frequently."
EDWARD LIVINGSTON

" For the last five years I have only to say that in the last two I have turned farmer, and it is to that pursuit that I at- tribute an improvement in my general health. If I had sons I should surely send them to Harvard, as I think Harvard the only university deserving of the name in this country."

" Out-door interests are : love of the woods and hunting ; the study of horticulture and amateur farming ; riding, driving, and

automobiling ; rarely golf. Charity in medical work. Health good, due to inheritance and fresh air. My sons may choose their college, though I should prefer Harvard."

WILLIAM LUCE
Born at Fort Smith, Arkansas, 21 October 1868, of John Bleeker Luce (law- yer) and Cornelia Priscilla Forester. Fitted at Berkeley School, Boston. Class Status: Left Senior year.
Married Katherine Williams McKinney at Fort Smith, 28 October 1908. Now farming at Fort Smith.
" I originally intended to become a lawyer, but on returning from college, found all I had in the world tied up in a dairy farm, which was sliding down hill fast. I took hold of the busi- ness perforce and have found it and its side issue, the whole- sale ice-cream business, undercrowded and reasonably remunera- tive. Business has expanded to such an extent that I took a partner October 29, 1908. Have done nry full share of unpaid charitable and public service work, having been for a number of years director of the Fort Smith Fair, director of Fort Smith Chautauqua, member of Good Roads Council, school direc- tor, etc., etc. Upon being examined for insurance some three years ago, I was turned down by the doctors as far gone with Bright's disease. I tried a Christian Science practitioner, and in six months was again examined for insurance and pronounced sound as a dollar; and, alas, the doors are again open to life insurance solicitors. I wish that I had time, and your blank had space, to enable me to dip a little deeper into the political sub-head. In earlier days we southerners were all forced to be hidebound Democrats, because of the alien race threatening domination. You fellows would have been just the same stal-
144 Class of 1893
warts in the ranks of the party that kept your own Caucasian race on top. This was not a healthy condition, as it forced party rule on the state, and brought about such a state of things that, if you did not support the party nominee, no mat- ter how corrupt, you were tabooed as an enemy of your race. The final culmination was that our state elected the worst dema- gogue in all these United States, Jeff Davis, to be Governor, and then United States Senator. I wish a bunch of you Boston- ians could have heard our Democratic Prosecuting Attorney's address on Davis at a banquet a while ago, in which he said that Davis' election was a blessing to Arkansas, for it had taught us younger Democrats to go fearlessly to the polls and vote the Republican ticket."
HOWARD LYON
Born at York, New York, 21 May 1860, of Ira Goddard Lyon (farmer) and
Henrietta Powers. Fitted at Geneseo State Normal School. Class Status: Entered Junior. Married Miriam Gould at East Aurora, 20 August 1884. Child:
Madeline, born 18 July 1886. Now teaching in State Normal School at Oneonta, New York.
" Am doing the work of a teacher of Science in the State Normal School just as well as I can. There is nothing startling in the work. Plain faithfulness is all that seems to be required. My out-door interests are some hunting and fishing, but most of all an almost daily tramp off on the hills or in the woods in all kinds of weather, seeing whatever is to be seen. The latter is my secret of health, and I can say that I am younger with added years. I certainly would be most happy to send a son to Harvard, because its work and inspirations are genuine, its traditions are democratic, and its spirit of comradeship is fine."
RICHARD MACALLISTER
Born at Calcutta, India, 10 January 1870, of Richard Macallister (consul

year. Married Josephine Anne Dickson at Ottawa, 12 October 1905. Now in lumber business at Algonquin Park, Province of Quebec.
Fourth Report 145
" Settled in Ottawa immediately after my marriage, because a good business opportunity offered — manager of machinery in the Mortimer Company, Lithographers and Printers. Am particularly interested in canoeing; the Ottawa River affords a diversity of scenery and good fishing and hunting. Each year finds me in the bush for a deer hunt. My wife and I enjoy camping and fishing, and we manage to put in a week- end several times during the year, as we have a summer cot- tage at Aylmer on Lake Deschenes. Health must be good if plenty of out-door exercise is taken. Harvard seems to me to offer the best opportunities to any young man. He may specialize or not as he chooses ; and make friends from all quarters of the globe. Harvard and the Class of '93 may be sure that had I a son he would go to Harvard. If health and business do not prevent, in 1913 I shall meet with the best Class that was ever graduated in any university."
GEORGE GRANT MACCURDY
Born at Warrensburgh, Missouri, 17 April 1873, of William Jasper McCurdy

" I have been and still am lecturer in Anthropology at Yale and curator of the anthropological section of the University Museum. Have also been and still am secretary of the American Anthropological Association since 1903. In 1906 was a vice- president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Have published a number of papers on anthropolog- ical subjects. Am at present a delegate on the part of the United States to the sixteenth International Congress of Ameri- canists, to be held in Vienna, September 9-14. My good health is attributed to ' Fletcherism.' Either Harvard or Yale will be good enough for my sons, if I should ever have any."

Married Alice Corinne Garlichs at Saint Joseph, Missouri, 2 August 1899. Now Professor of Latin at University of Pennsylvania.
146 Class of 1893
" During the last six years I have continued to overwork joy- fully for the University of Pennsylvania, my interest in which I have recently indicated by refusing the headship of the Classi- cal Department of a larger and richer institution. Philadel- phia, too, has steadily won more and more of my affection, although it has annually reduced the time I have to live by a year, decimated the hairs on my head (but never by any chance chosen to take a white one), elected just the men to office that I did n't vote for, and during the months of June and September made it seem useless to be virtuous in this world. But my three months by the sea in cool New England have enabled me to catch up in my work by the time college opens, and to inter- sperse study and writing with my favorite amusements of row- ing, paddling, and swimming. While pedagogical and admin- istrative duties at an institution of over four thousand students that is increasing phenomenally every year allow little leisure, I have yet found time for very delightful social life, and for membership in the Philadelphia Classical Club, the Philadelphia Oriental Society, and even to hold offices in our local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and in the Classical Association of the At- lantic States, of which I am now a vice-president. We have a considerable number of Harvard men on the Faculty, but I very seldom see any of my classmates. My health is excellent, due, I suppose, to a daily sponge bath, exercise, and lack of time for morbid self-analysis. My only public service work is de- livering lectures, which, after all, is more work than service. If the Lord sent us a son, I should disown him if he did n't observe the family tradition on both sides and go to Harvard."

" I have since the last report been practising law in New York City ; not connected with any firm except during the year 1907, when I was associated with two friends of mine under the firm name of ' Mclntire, Shattuck & Glenn.' I have been so confined by my business interests that I have had time for little else, and I recall no incidents in my life for the past five years which would be of interest to the Class."

Married Fermine Du-Buisson Baird at Boston, 9 December 1899. Now poultry farming at Wells Beach, Maine.
" About three months in the summer I spend much time at golf. I quietly do some charitable work for some poor people here. My health has always been remarkably good, and is at- tributable, I think, to my always having taken an active part in out-door life. I certainly should send a son of mine to Har- vard, because I believe that a man by going there will become a broad man if it is possible for any influence to make him broad, and I do not think a man is more likely to fall there than in the average college."
PERCIVAL MANCHESTER

Am now vice-president and treasurer of the new company, residing in Chicago. Have no children. Am interested in ail out-door sports, being an active member and director of the Skokie Coun- try Club, where I play golf in my spare time. Keep up my interest in shooting and fishing, especially the latter. General health good, owing to the proper attention to the game of golf."

" After a residence in California, where I went to learn the business and financial details of beet sugar manufacture at the Oxnard refineries, I became treasurer, in New York, of one of the affiliated companies, and a director of the Century Bank. Three years later I resigned, and now in association with my brother am representative in Boston of the New York banking- house of William P. Bonbright and Company, under the firm name of R. A. & E. L. Manning. I ascribe my excellent health to the necessity of work and regular hours. I fear I have been delinquent in charitable and public duties, and have found no time for out-door interests, other than that I am extremely fond of the country, and prefer residence there nine months of the year. Am unmarried. Should send a son to Harvard, as I consider a university training essential preparation for either a business or leisure career, and I believe Harvard best equipped to afford such preparation."
SAMUEL HUBBARD MANSFIELD
Born at Gloucester, 27 June 1870, of Alfred Mansfield (ship-owner) and
Sarah Jane Hubbard. Fitted at Gloucester High. Class Status: Special, 1889-90. Now in smelting at Boston.
" Between five and six years ago I was in the bond and in- vestment business, but owing to the depressing conditions of the investment market, I became connected with a large heating and plumbing concern as outside man, advertising man, and sales- man. Business being curtailed, I became interested in a com- pany in Boston which was developing a new process of separating minerals from their gangue, called concentration of ore. This company became merged in the Huff Electrostatic Separator
150 Class of 1893
Company, which owns the fundamental patents in the new art of Electrostatic Separation. We have recently entered the commercial field, and for the past six months have had a plant successfully operating day and night in the zinc fields of Wis- consin. Our process is destined to take a prominent part in the concentration problems of this country in the future as it is applicable to practically all ores, and can open properties that other methods cannot handle at the present time. I have been connected with this enterprise for about four years, and am at present assistant treasurer of the Huff Company. This, in brief outline, has been my business career during the period you ask for. I have not been especially interested in out-door in- terests, charitable, or public service work. My general health has been good. Am not married nor have any prospects at present, but had I sons, I should send them to Harvard if college, rather than technical school, was advisable. I am interested in art, and own quite a number of good oil-paintings, bric-a-brac, etc., and also in music, as I enjoy the opera more than the theatre. We have a very fine collection of classical music, which we play on the Victor. My tastes run to collecting and caring for rare and choice things in line of art and bric-a-brac, and things of refinement rather than out-door sports, etc. I have lost track of the fellows I was associated with at Harvard, and to-day do not know a soul there."

" Have practised surgery and to some extent medicine also in Boston. Have taught anatomy at Harvard Medical School for eight years, but have just resigned, owing to pressure of other work. Had an office at 665 Boylston Street until a year ago, but now have my office at my home, 180 Commonwealth Avenue. Conduct with my father a private surgical hospital at 860 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge. Vacations have spent for the most part West, — Alaska, Colorado, Mexico. Have been very well.

Married Anna Frances Wayne at Cambridge, 9 September 1909. Now editor at Providence, Rhode Island.
" Have been editor and publisher of the Providence Journal and the Providence Evening Bulletin since February 1906. In that time Ave have completed the Journal Building. As news- paper men are the only ones, according to Mr. Dooley, who are paid for minding other people's business, I have busied myself with the social, political, artistic, charitable, and commercial interests of the community so far as time permits. Photo- graphed with the unmarried group at the Quindecennial, but qualified for a blue card in September last, and took a two- months' trip to England and France forthwith. Except for a two-months' struggle with typhoid in a Chicago hospital during the summer of 1905, have been blessed with perfect health."

" For the past six years I have been engaged in reporting on the financial condition and various phases of the business of the telephone companies controlled by the American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company, from an accounting standpoint. My work has required extended visits to the headquarters of nearly all of the Bell companies in the United States. I do not attribute the general good health which I enjoy to Duffy's Malt Whiskey, but rather to that hopeful attitude of mind characteristic of all Harvard men, which enables them to accord
Fourth Report 155
philosophical treatment not only to average conditions but also to occasions of depression or of exaltation, and allows a fair measure of success in dodging booze, gold bricks, and similar missiles. Barring violent opposition on his part, I shall send my son to Harvard. This for a host of reasons which will readily occur to a Harvard man."

" I am practising law in Boston by myself. Have cut out court work as much as possible and confine myself mostly to business and corporation work.

Am interested in yachting and golf and tennis when I can get the

In collaboration with another author have prepared a text book for schools entitled ' Geog- raphy through the Stereoscope ' which was published in 1907 by Underwood and Underwood of New York. In 1907 I ob- tained leave of absence from my work at Salem, for the purpose of pursuing graduate work with the Division of Education al Harvard. Celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of our gradu- ation from college by obtaining the Master of Arts degree. As a direct result of my work of the past year, and through the influence and prestige of our great University I have been appointed Professor of Education in Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts."

" I live in Hyannisport and enjoy life immensely. I am always well and generally extremely pious. I spend my time looking after my dogs and hens, sailing a boat, shooting ducks, reading books, catching fish, and keeping away from Boston. I do not eat beans on Sunday morning and never go to the theatre on Friday night unless I happen to be in New York. I
158 Classofi8g3
treat Mrs. Bracy kindly and provide her with the best of every- thing. If I had any children I suppose I should send them to Harvard. It would n't hurt them because they would be Irish. If I were a New England Yankee (and supposed to have any sense) I should send my offspring to the University of Chicago to get the pie-eating habit kicked out of them. I would rather see my daughter dead than a member of the W. C. T. U., and if I had a son who manifested any inclination to join the anti- imperialistic league I would cut him off with a shilling. I think it is a great pity that the Mayflower did not get wrecked on the stern and rock-bound coast of Cuba. In closing this brief state- ment I wish to remark that Mrs. Bracy, mentioned above, is a native of that island ; and to avoid the implication of impro- priety, I may add that she is an intellectual and uncompro- misingly virtuous monkey."

" Since 1903 I have been at the same job — teaching history in the Ethical Culture School, lecturing in Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis and New York for the Ethical Society, acting as secretary of various conventions and boards, contributing to Ethical Addresses. Awarded Herbert Baxter Adams prize for essay in European history, December 1905. Degree of Ph.D. (in history) at Columbia, 1907. Still keep limber enough for baseball, and play second base or catch on a faculty team against the students. Am exceedingly well, though not very strong in brawn and muscle; and I attribute my health to a number of good things — first of all, excellent care by an ex- cellent wife, then the joyous returns (intellectually, not pecu- niarily) of historical study, then a certain amount of hill climb- ing from the suburban station of Glenwood-on-the-Hudson to my home. My boy is six years old, and by the time the twenty-

" January 1, 1904, quit publishing law books and commenced practice of law as assistant to William D. Guthrie. September 15, 1905, formed a partnership with Ernest H. Wells, Yale '93, under firm name of Wells and Nash, with offices at 150 Nassau Street, New York City, where I have since been engaged in general practice. My most interesting litigation has been a series of cases brought by Charles F. Chamberlayne, '78, against the American Law Book Company, in which I was for plaintiff, involving the common-law rights of authors. ( See 42 American Law Review 276.) Have published nothing since 1904, save two articles in ' Current Law.' Have little time outside of business for any interest save politics. For some years have been a member of the Democratic County Committee of Kings County (Brooklyn) and live in the hope of doing the party some good from the inside. Have refused nomination to both Assembly and Senate as I am not a candidate for office. General health apparently A 1, due, I fancy, to acting at all times pre- cisely as my fancy dictates ; in other words, being regularly irregular in eating, drinking, and sleeping. D. V., shall cer- tainly send nry sons to Harvard. The dear old place constantly brings my ideals into their true position as the pole does the magnetic needle, and I want the youngsters to have the same advantage. In addition to law have been for some time secre- tary of the L. F. Muelbe Art Glass Works, Brooklyn, and am also interested with Gregg Clarke in the Keewaydin Camps Company, operating camps in Temagami, Ontario. You might note that in September 1908, the writer was appointed

John Howell, 13 July 1906. Now Professor of Biology at Knox College.
L I twins, born 26 February 1901.
" I have remained as professor of biology in Knox College and the feeling of disappointment that none of the great universities have urged me to take the headship of their de- partments has gradually worn off! In fact, I turned down the offer of a professorship in a State university last year because I preferred my own * small ' college. The aldermanship from the ' sixt,' the superintendency of a Sunday School, the presi- dency and vice-presidency of the art association and Municipal Improvement Society have been my chief recreations. My ex- cellent health is in my judgment to be attributed to a well- educated alimentary canal, and the regular life of a college professor. My three children will, for financial reasons largely, be educated in the college with which I am connected, but they will take their post-graduate work at Harvard. Why? Because Harvard is still our greatest university. I am nowr director of the Harpswell Biological Laboratory on the coast of Maine where I am summering with my family."

" In the past six years I have done a number of things of great interest to myself: for instance, am married, have built a home, and have two interesting babies. They keep a fellow busy. Am in excellent health. This is the place to live. The ozone belt of Louisiana to my mind has no equal for its health. Two years ago I served as secretary of a special commission to in- vestigate the oyster industry of Louisiana, and it proved a most interesting work; for two years also I was secretary of the Southern University, a State institution for the education of negroes. I am now secretary of the Board of Trustees of the First Unitarian Church."

CHARLES READ NUTTER
Born at Boston, 8 November 1870, of Thomas Franklin Nutter (lawyer)
and Adelaide Julia Read. Fitted at Brown and Nichols. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now in literary work at New York City.
" For five years I taught at Harvard College, but resigned last summer to become literary adviser to D. Appleton & Com- pany, New York. My unpaid public service work has been in behalf of the Public School Association of Boston. Health is fine, due to exercise four days a week in a gymnasium or at squash, and to taking often all of Sunday for tramping in the country in the fall and spring across country, and in winter on snowshoes. Music is still my in-door avocation : golf and amateur forestry my out-door. Should I send a son to Harvard College? No. I would to Harvard University. Why? For man}- reasons, difficult to phrase briefly. A bewildering, in- numerable array of courses, many useless in themselves, or given by useless instructors ; a lamentable disinclination to study among most students, more marked than in our day : a free elective system for which only the exceptional student is pre- pared; a lack of personal supervision (the Freshman Adviser System, the best which present conditions allow, is of little or no value) ; a tendency towards needless and close specialization in the various departments ; a deep and unwholesome absorp- tion in athletics, to the neglect of mental training; a lack of democracy which is the result of such segregation of men as produce the so-called " Gold Coast " ; the undoubted fact that Harvard is falling behind other colleges, especially the western
1 64 Class of 1893
state college, in methods of study (a large point which needs exposition; I can't now give it) ; the need of new blood in the Boston list of overseers, etc. These reasons, incoherently listed down, and others that I have, would incline me to send my son to a small college (Williams?) and afterward to Har- vard. However, at present I have no son. If I ever do have one, the situation may have changed at Cambridge. I hope so ; for I am as loyal a Harvard man as lives, and I should hate to have to send my son elsewhere."
THOMAS EDWARD OLIVER
Born at Salem, Massachusetts, 16 December 1871, of Samuel Cook Oliver
and Mary Elizabeth Andrews. Fitted at Salem High. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Elizabeth Reinhardt at Cleveland, 9 June 1904. Children: Elizabeth Andrews, born 12 May 1905. Martha Reinhardt, 3 September 1907. Now Professor of Romance Languages at University of Illinois.
" I have been at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, since September, 1903, as Professor of Romance Languages. In June, 1904, I married Elizabeth Reinhardt of Cleveland, Ohio. Our wedding trip took us to Belgium, Germany, Den- mark, Finland, Russia and Sweden. We visited relatives of my wife in Germany and Finland and returned via the St. Lawrence route and Niagara Falls. We were in Finland during the Japanese War and saw the tyranny of Russia over that un- happy province, becoming acquainted with many of the most patriotic of the Finns and sharing fully their feelings. In 1907 I helped organize the Unitarian Church of Urbana, Illi- nois, and have been elected one of its six trustees for three years. The church is located near the university campus and is making a very direct appeal to the four thousand students of the University of Illinois. My general health is excellent, although my only out-door exercises are walking, bicycling, and garden- ing. In addition to regular duties I have taken great interest in amateur dramatics. I find a keen pleasure and considerable profit in this use of leisure hours. We have an organization known as ' The Players' Club,' composed of younger faculty members, and endeavor to develop in the university community a better appreciation of drama. Harvard is the only college for the Oliver family. See the Graduate's Magazine, Vol. Ill,
Fourth Report 165
pp. 96-97 for a sufficient reason, whereby it appears that since 1645 my tribe has gone to Cambridge. There are many other reasons besides those of family association why future Olivers should go thither, and granting a continued supremacy of Harvard as the great American university, every loyal Harvard man should wish to send his sons there."

" I am still in the railroad business, my office address being Room 51, Big Four Railway Company Office Building, Cin- cinnati, Ohio. The positions I hold are treasurer the Central Union Depot and Railway Company, treasurer the Covington & Cincinnati Elevated Railroad Transfer and Bridge Com- pany, assistant secretary Cincinnati Inter-terminal Railroad Company, and secretary and treasurer of the Ingalls Realty Company. Holding down these jobs keeps me pretty busy and close to home, so I do very little travelling and can find no time to look for a nice wife, so I am still single, but thoroughly believe in the marriage proposition. Some of these days I may turn the trick, when I will promptly advise you of my happy state."

166 Class of 1893
" I am still a member of the close corporation of L. C. Page & Company, publishers, where we make a specialty of rejecting manuscripts of embryo authors. I have become more or less of a gardening crank, which work together with an occasional round of golf keeps me from becoming too fat. I attribute my general good health to the fact that I don't allow experimenting on my carcass, with result : don't get sick. My oldest boy is full- back on the Chestnut Hill football team, and substitute on the baseball team. I have taught him that there is only one college, and if he intends to go to college, it will naturally be Harvard. The youngster who has just appeared on the scene is too young to know what he wants, beyond the needs of the hour, but if he does n't go to Harvard, it will be because there won't be any Harvard when he is old enough." [The secretary here acknowl- edges Page's great assistance in preparing the portraits of deceased classmates for this report — frequently from origi- nals so inadequate that only his practised skill and judgment have made any satisfactory reproductions possible.]

Fourth Report 167
" A few months ago the University of Oklahoma was visited by a political cyclone, and for some time I was busy trying to find out where I had landed. Almost immediately thereafter I was appointed to an Assistant Professorship of Rhetoric in the University of Washington, and am now in Seattle, well content with the change. I am the second '93 man to join the university " Harvard Group " — Landes is here and ranking member of the faculty in length of service."

Elaine Newcomb, born 19 February 1900 (died 14 August 1901). Miriam Newcomb, 6 July 1902. Now publishers' agent at Halifax, Nova Scotia.
" The activities of the last five years have been directed towards recovering health after a severe breakdown in the fall of 1903. The first year of the five was divided between treatment at Cromwell, a sanitarium in Connecticut, and out-of-door life in Canada. Then there were two years at Clark University, as lecturer in philosophy and psychology, during which time I incidentally acquired the new docent standing. The last two years have been spent in Canada ; have done a little writing on educational topics, but most of the time has been given up to business. If looking ahead is of any interest, the intention is, now, to take up residence in Cambridge in the fall and to go on with some philosophical writings, dividing the time between business interests, and philosophy. Shall have offices in Boston and Halifax, doing business as newspaper brokers, and pub- lishers' agents. Shall not again be a candidate for teaching position, except possibly as lecturer. Have no sons, alas ! to send to college but should wish them to go to Harvard if I
i6S Class of 1893
had ; although I should not feel that there is no good second choice. I like Yale also, and several other universities. My out-of-door interests are of a commonplace kind, and there is nothing to say. Horseback riding has been of most benefit to me, excepting possibly long excursions on foot. Active games have not been possible, and golf, even, has not thus far been taken on. There has been no charitable or public service work excepting work connected with my professional interests. Took some part in the early stages of the playground move- ment in New York City, and in public health questions. Have written some articles of a temporary nature on these and re- lated topics."

" Private practice of medicine. Health department work in charge of the Division of Communicable Diseases for the Borough of Richmond, City of New York. My out-door in- terests are few on account of lack of time to spend in anything. Up till last winter my health was excellent, but then I went through a very severe attack of grippe, pneumonia and grippe appendicitis, culminating in the ' fashionable ' operation last February. Since then have had most excellent health. I would send a son to Harvard if I had one as that to me is the only college in this country."

" For fifteen years I have been teaching English at the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology. In that time I have come to have great interest in the kind of training given by the Institute and the type of man that it turns out. Teaching has occupied all of my time with the exception of part of a few years when I was engaged in writing a life of John A. Andrew, the War Governor of Massachusetts. I live well out of the city rush, and my health has been good."

Martha Carroll, 5 May 1905. Now in real estate at New York City.
' The past six years have been much like the preceding ones, inasmuch as I have been sticking very close to the real estate business ever since 1897. We have been very successful, and I have great hopes for the future. My boy, Perry Rodgers Pease, is booked for Harvard, but as he is only five years old, I have n't made any more definite plans for him than that he ought to be Harvard 1925. My daughter, aged four, will not go to Radcliffe."

Gordon, 18 November 1901. Now in newspaper work at New York City.
" About the biggest thing I have done in the past five years is to try to train three husky kids for Harvard. They are all coming. One of them in about two years, and if they don't all wear an ' H ' I '11 miss my guess. So, you see, the kids are the chief thing in my report; all I have done is to make a little money to keep them going. Last time, if I remember right, it was as editor of Harper's Weekly ; later as American manager of a European News Service ; to-day, the same — with the usual ' outside ' stunts — a golf club or two to keep the kids in shape, and so on. The last three summers the kids have taught me a lot about camping. We have been exploring the Temagami country. All of it seems to me good Harvard train- ing,— I mean for the kids. And there is a small girl bound for Radcliffe by the same out-door, healthy route. My other interests, compared with the kids, are incidental; I guess you would n't be interested, anyway."

For the past two years I have made a specialty of insurance, having the entire management of that department which covers all kinds of insurance except life. My health has been generally good. I cannot attribute it to any particular

" The last six years have been happy and rather uneventful, except for the arrival of two daughters. Have settled perma- nently in Milton, have a house of our own, pleasant neighbors, and are very contented. Have continued in the cotton business with E. L. Dorr & Company, selling the raw article to New England mills. Tennis is my principal out-door interest and have time to play a good deal of it during the spring and sum- mer. Health is good, due to the simple life. Should send son or sons to Harvard if I had them and the necessary stuff to send them with, because I consider it a life-long happiness to have been there."

Tide, now a quarterly print, which embody most of my experi- ments, views, and conclusions up to date. Have contributed a number of articles to magazines and one article on the Arts and Crafts movement to MacMillan's American Encyclopaedia of Agriculture. Have lectured considerably, including two trips West as far as Duluth and St. Louis. Have experimented some in agriculture and horticulture and in model farmhouse construction. My only son, John Emanuel, born three years ago, will probably not be sent to Harvard. I believe there is a more wholesome method of education coming in, built upon our better understanding of the origin of souls like Abraham Lin- coln, Shakespeare, etc., falsely called ' self-made ' men."

" Have been in business in Denver as mining engineer with office at McPhee Building; also at present have office at 20 Copthall Avenue, E. C. London, and reside in London, so far as a man in my profession can claim a fixed abode. Have made two professional journeys to Alaska, and in 1904 prepared special government report on ' Costs of Placer Mining ' in that country (Bull. 263, U. S. G. S.). Have been employed exten- sively in Colorado, especially in San Juan district, making mine examinations; in 1906, examinations in Arizona, Idaho, Wyo- ming, and Utah; in 1907 and 1908 have been mostly in London and on the continent. Have made two journeys to East Siberia to examine gold placer mines, situated on the Pacific Coast of Siberia. My wife accompanies me on long journeys to remote regions, and we spend considerable time in tents and small cabins in the mountains. This alternation of long journeys by sea and land with residence in large cities is enjoyable, and appears to be healthy, if one keeps away from malarial climates."

Born at Boston, 18 November 18G9, of Thomas Ray (merchant) and Mar- garet Ryan. Fitted at Boston Latin. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now practising law at Tacoma.
" Six years ago this summer I left Boston for the Pacific Coast. After spending four months in Los Angeles and Lower California enjoying a ' laisser faire ' existence and getting rid of considerable amount of hard-earned Eastern money, I arrived in Seattle toward the latter part of 1903. The field not looking particularly inviting to start the practice of law in that place, I came to Tacoma in May of 1904 and soon after was appointed claim agent of the Tacoma Railway & Power Company and the Puget Sound Electric Railway, the latter being an interurban railroad between Tacoma and Seattle. After two years I began the general practice of law and was retained by two casualty companies. In the spring of this year, I formed a partnership for the general practice of law with J. Charles Dennis, Harvard '99, under the firm name of Ray & Dennis. I am glad to say that we have a lucrative practice. My general good health and amiable temperament I attribute to the
Fourth Report 175
unsurpassable grandeur of the climate conditions and exquisite scenic beauties of the Puget Sound country. The ' City of Des- tiny,' which is now my home, has grown from a community of about thirty thousand people in 1900 to a thriving city of one hundred and fifty thousand in 1908. I would heartily recom- mend all Easterners to come out to Puget Sound and ' Watch Tacoma Grow.' I shall not send my sons to Harvard unless better luck attends, for I have the misfortune to be still a bachelor."

" I have not changed my state of single blessedness, and therefore have no births or deaths to chronicle. I have not taken up any new professional engagement, as my own continued bad health has made that seem unwise. I have therefore devoted myself to private scientific research, about which I have not anything to say, at present at least. When I am absorbed in some interesting line of original research I lose all sense of time, and my silence is explained. If I was wealthy enough I would hire a guardian — but I am not .

" In the spring of 1905, I resigned my position as assistant professor of practical astronomy at Princeton, and entered the employ of John A. Roebling Sons Company, Trenton, New Jersey. After spending a year in the Steel & Wire Mills I was placed in charge of the cost department. I was requested to reorganize the method of computing cost and keeping the ton- nage records. This work was nearly accomplished in the spring of 1908, when I was asked to join the B. T. Babbitt Corporation,
176 Classofi8g3

For the last year or more my time has been almost entirely occupied in managing the premium department of B. T. Babbitt, Inc. Since I am not married your question concerning ' Sons to Harvard ' is purely academic. I believe that all sons should be sent to Harvard."
HARRISON GARFIELD RHODES
Born at Cleveland, 2 June 1871, of James Harrison Rhodes (lawyer) and
Adelaide Maria Robbins. Entered from Adelbert College. Class Status: Entered Sophomore. Now in literary and dramatic work at New York City and elsewhere.
" I am still a migratory kind of person, living partly abroad and partly at home. So far as I have a residence it is Daytona, Florida. There are no interesting things to be chronicled in my life apart from things in my work. I have published three books during the five years that have passed, — ' The Lady and the Ladder ' (Doubleday, Page & Company, 1906) ; ' The Flight to Eden ' (Henry Holt & Company, 1907) ; ' The Adventures of Charles Edward' (Little, Brown & Company, 1908). I have had two plays produced, — ' Captain Dieppe ' by Anthony Hope and Harrison Rhodes, which John Drew did in the season of 1903-04, so that it falls into the previous report, if I ever made one, and ' A Gentleman from Mississippi ' by Harrison Rhodes and Thomas H. Wise, which was produced September 29, 1908 at the Bijou Theatre, New York City, and at the date of writing is still running there. Besides these has been the usual amount of stories, articles, etc., in magazines, both here and in England."

" Since 1902 I have been a broker with the firm of Francke, Thompson & Robb. My family has been increased by another daughter, so that I now number three. Unless something un- forseen happens I shall send my son to Harvard as I have seen nothing so far to change my belief that it is the great University of this country. I have been very much interested in the militia and have only just resigned my commission as major of the Twelfth New York, having served with that organization in the manoeuvres in Virginia in 1904*."

I am visiting physician to the Boston Dispensary, second assistant visiting physician to the Boston City Hospital, and physician to the col- lege settlement house in Roxbury. I use a motor car for busi- ness and pleasure. Except for a brief business trip to London in the winter of 1904 I have not strayed far from home. My son is preparing for Harvard."

Wilbur Fisk, 15 December 1905.
Alice Francis, 8 February 1908. Now practising law at Butte, Montana.
" Have continued the practice of the legal profession without interruption. Have drifted without design into the defense of personal injury cases, involving the liability of local mining companies for injuries sustained by employees in mines and smelters. Have recently associated myself with J. Bruce Kremer, a graduate of the law department of the University of Virginia, and after ten years of unremitting labor, feel that my progress has been reasonably satisfactory. May be a lawyer some day! Was nominated by the Republican party for judge- ship of the District Court of the second Judicial District (Silver Bow County), in 1906, but was defeated by the Demo- cratic candidate by three hundred votes. As recreation, I have travelled somewhat over the northwest, and devote an hour daily to horseback riding. As a result my health is excellent. It would not be truthful to say that I have performed any note- worthy deeds of charity or done much of importance for the public welfare. I trust that my four-year-old boy, Wilbur Fisk, will find his way to Harvard. I believe his chance there to become a gentleman is the best afforded by all the educational institutions of the country."

Married Anne Pierce Whittier at Boston, 22 May 1900. Now practising law at Boston.
" In my profession the last few years have meant more to me than all the time before. Upon the death in 1905 of William A. Munroe, with whom I had been associated since I left the law school, I succeeded to all the trusts and estates of which he was trustee and I formed a partnership with Albert M. Chandler, Harvard A.B. 1900, LL.B. 1903, for the general practice of the law under the firm name of Saville and Chandler, keeping Mr. Munroe's office. We have lately moved into more com- modious offices in Barrister's Hall, where we manage to keep busy as counsel for some well-known corporations and firms as well as for quite a variety of individual clients. My in- terest in my old parish, Christ Church, Cambridge, is as strong as ever and through it I have become more actively interested in church matters in the Diocese of Massachusetts, having been an officer of the Episcopalian Club the past five years and a member of the Diocesan Convention. I am a warden and trustee of my parish. What with my vocation and avocation there is not much time for other things except to do my share in Good Government League work in Cambridge and try to get as much social life as the restricted time will per- mit. I resigned from the University Club (Boston) when I married, but I have since joined the Oakley Club (Cambridge), the Harvard Club of New York and the Boston City Club. As for travel, the longest time I have taken at one time from work since I left the law school is one month in 1905 when I took
Fourth Report 181
i
a flying trip through Ireland with my wife and enjoyed it im- mensely. Last year we went ' Down North and up Along ' to Cape North, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, a region made familiar by Frank Bolles' delightful account of his journey there. Except for these two trips I have not been out of the States. As to health I am better than I ever was and have begun to increase in weight as I imagine most of '93 is doing, only I had more room for it than most of us."
FRANK CHARLES SCHRADER
Born at Sterling, Illinois, 6 October 1865, of Christian Schrader (farmer)
and Margaret Christine. Entered from University of Kansas. Class Status: Entered Senior. Now government geologist at Washington.
" I have continued economic geological work with the United States Geological Survey ; in the field during summers and in Washington office preparing maps and reports during winters, as follows : Reconnaissance of the Mineral Resources of the Upper Copper and Tanana Rivers, Alaska, in 1903. Did the economic geology of the Independence and adjacent Kansas quadrangles in the Kansas-Indian Territory oil and gas fields in 1904. Made reconnaissance of the Durango-Gallup coal fields of Colorado and New Mexico and investigated the copper deposits of the Sierra Naciemento and of the Zuni Mountains, New Mexico, in 1905. Made a reconnaissance of the mineral deposits, including important mines in Mohave County, Arizona, in 1906. Examined mining properties in Colorado for the United States Agricultural and Post Office departments in 1907. Out-door interests, Geological Survey work, riding, driving and walking. Charitable work, contributions to such as Y. M. C. A.'s and sundry lines. General health is good and is attributed to general temperate life, the above-named exercises, volley- ball, dancing, etc. I should send my sons to Harvard because of the superior educational and social advantages offered there, including the opportunity of associating with fellow students from all parts of the world, particularly America; the more studious atmosphere and higher culture found there than at any other institution of my acquaintance; the higher ideals and sense of honor which Harvard aims to inculcate."

" I am out in Oklahoma doing some literary work. My perma- nent address is still New York Press Club, 120 Nassau Street, though I cannot tell just when I shall return to the East. If ever I do marry and if ever I do have any boys I shall send them to Harvard if I can make them go there. I '11 wager you '11 not get much out of this letter for publication. You see I am some- thing of an editor myself and I know a few of the arts of the art preservative of all arts. I did n't answer before because I thought it was optional."

Norman Walker, born 12 November 1903. Harry Edward, Jr., 22 August 1906. Now practising medicine at Beverly.
" Am engaged in general medical practice with preference for surgery. Received appointment from Governor Guild in January 1907, as associate medical examiner for Seventh Essex District ; am censor in Massachusetts Medical Society ; also councillor. Examine for several insurance companies. Con- tinue as one of surgeons to Beverly Hospital. I consider my general health good, and attribute it to my abundance of fresh air and exercise necessitated by my practice, for which I use both a carriage and an automobile. I plan to have two to four weeks' vacation a year — last trip, Bermuda. (Beautiful place, by the way. ) Hope my sons may get to Harvard ; they probably will unless their own inclination by special lines of work takes them to some other institution giving a better special training. Why Harvard? For one reason, I would like them to see Louis Osbom's boys in an imitation of their pa's pirouette on the Nahant Club lawn, the best sketch in vaudeville. They might be late for their reunion and come down the pike in an auto with a band a la Pike. They might become umpires, like Stone's little pebbles, or row, and beating Yale, show their Stearns; failing, have them spanked. They will sing all the college Ayers, and during the Marathon, let us say of '93, trotting along with young Arthur Blake they will chant, as the dust comes up from their struggling feet to choke their nostrils :
* We 're dreaming of that happy land Where rivers of beer are found ; Where the sloe gin fizzes are floating in the air, And the highballs are rolling on the ground. What? The highballs rolling on the ground? YES ! The highballs are rolling on the ground ! ' "

Harold Tillinghast, born 5 June 1898. Now in Congregational ministry at Boston.
" Left Groton, Connecticut, after waiting for six years to see Harvard win a boat race. The next year Harvard won and I am glad I moved. For three years have been a pastor (Con- gregational) in Boston, the last two in Charlestown. Glad to be home and lend a hand in a needy quarter of the city. Fond of tennis, fishing, swimming, of country, and water. Have been blest with good health because I have always tried to keep in trim for my work. My boy shouts for Harvard and I am anxious to have him cheer winning teams when he goes to college. Our last celebration is one of my happiest college memories."
HAROLD INGALLS SEWALL
Born at Boston, 25 February 1871, of William Bull Sewall (merchant) and
Lena Ingalls. Fitted at G. W. C. Noble's. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married Virginia Simms Evans at Tokyo, Japan, 29 April 1903. Children:
Robley Evans, born 26 March 1904 (died 3 May 1908).
Dorothy Neville, 2 May 1905. Now raising sugar at Naguabo, Porto Rico.
" There seems to be a popular impression that the daily life of a sugar planter consists in swinging in a long hammock in a palm-shaded patio and sipping iced tropical drinks every morning, with an afternoon entirely similar, only a long chair with proper and convenient holes in the arms is substituted for the hammock. Now the planter's life may have been a little like that once, but it was very little and only once, and we of the modern sugar company have never seen it and don't be- lieve it. Were such a picture true there 's many a Harvard man half-heartedly seeking his life's work who could qualify at once. The truth is that that pretty fable is the lost relic of the old Moscovado days when sugar was twelve cents the pound, plantations of only three hundred acres were worked by a thousand slaves and the owners sailed each spring to
Fourth Report 185
Paris in a vain attempt to spend there in eight months the vast profits of the preceding four. To-day it 's very different. In place of twelve-cent sugar we have three or three and a half. The three hundred acres have unrolled themselves into as many (or more) thousands. Powerful and complicated machinery has taken the place of simple appliances and manual labor. One large factory grinds the cane of a dozen or more of the little mills of yesterday. But though progress and development have advanced the manufacturing end of the busi- ness, the agricultural part is scarcely better to-day than when the Don swung in his hammock. We — the American companies and owners — are now waking up to the pressing need for re- form, and I, in this company, am giving it all my time and at- tention. In the meadow at the lower end of my place we have built a little experiment station, where new methods of planting, fertilizing experiments, modern farm implements, and new South American varieties of cane are being cautiously tried out and tested. As for the conditions under which we work, they are not at all of the sort popularly imagined by our classmates of the rolltop desk and the swivel chair. It is not hot. To-day the maximum was 80° F., and last night we slept as usual under a blanket. The Trades blow unfailingly cool off the broad Atlantic, and even in July and August temperatures of ninety odd are the exception. While on the job we are in the saddle, and when a call comes from any of our outermost estates a ride of eight to ten miles leaves little need for further exercise. We have the telegraph, the telephone, the typewriter, and the motor car. Two and a half hours in a good car through a beautiful mountainous country by a road so firm that it will always stand as a lasting monument to the Spanish engineers who built it, brings us to San Juan, with its narrow, paved streets, its blue and pink buildings and general air of having been brought in over night from the Italian end of the Riviera. Here during the winter the social game is played rather pleasantly if a little mixed. Mosquitos we have, fleas, too, in quantity, and if you want to get the fever there are a number of easy methods. Drinks are numerous and pleasant, but the regular leaves them alone for the most part, and lets the tourist discover his own liver. Good roads and automobiles are fast making the most distant plantation a suburb of San Juan. Finally, the island is still unhappily an undiscovered land. The lack of a really
i86 Class of 1893
good hotel and fast steamship service discourages the average man from seeking here relief from the Northern winters. How- ever, most of us who enjoy places of our own have Northern ways and Northern cooking, and should any member of Ninety- three visit the island I would be most happy to place them all, as the phrase is here, ' at his disposition.'

" Engaged in the same work (educational) at the head of the Elliot Street School. Spent the summer of 1908 in Italy and Switzerland, and the summer of 1908 in England.

Am editor of the medical jurisprudence department of Dr. Howard A. Kelly's ' Cyclopedia of American Medical Biography,' to appear this fall. For further particulars see ' The Doctor's Who 's Who ! ' Had I a son, I should certainly send him to Harvard. Reasons: I should want him to attend the highest educational institution on earth."

EDGAR DWIGHT SHAW
Born at Leominster, Massachusetts, 22 August 1871, of Francis Henry Shaw
and Isabella Rhoda Warfield. Fitted at Phillips Exeter. Class Status: Regular A.B. Married Anna Jane Hill at Brooklyn, 14 January 1897. Children:
Dorothy \ twins> b°rn 8 Ma7 1904- (Tiny died in infancy.) Now general manager Washington Times.
" Six years more of newspaper work is the summary of the period since 1903. Early in 1906 the character of the work was changed from the management of the news and editorial departments of the paper to include the business end, the title changing with it from managing editor to general manager of The Washington Times. This is one of the Frank A. Munsey newspapers, — the first he owned, — and it has had a large part in the working out of the plans, methods, and principles for which he stands as a newspaper publisher. Nat- urally, therefore, one associated with The Washington Times has had opportunity to see much of newspaper work in the important American cities. Membership in such organizations as the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, and various special municipal commissions and committees are joined in my case with membership in the Harvard, University, and Cosmos clubs of Washington and the City Club of New York. Since my roll of little ones is complete with one five-year-old daughter, Miss Dorothy Shaw, it is easy to answer that cer- tainly I should send my sons to Harvard. As to general health, I could not wish a friend any better than I have had. Perhaps it comes from the fact that pretty much all the exercise I take consists of walking to and from the car that runs in front of my house and in front of my office. Perhaps, too, the constant use of cigarettes since I was fifteen years old has helped."
HUBERT GROVER SHAW

" The last report left me as sub-master of the Murdock School, Winchendon. While in residence in Winchendon an appreciative public honored me with election as trustee of the public library. This is the only public office I have ever held. I left Winchendon in June, 1905, and invaded Yale's territory by coming to Wethersfield, Connecticut, where, since that time, I have been principal of the high school. This school was the smallest in the State, numbering only seven pupils when I took charge ; but during the last year I enrolled sixty pupils. Pro- fessor Bartlett would be surprised to hear that in this position I have been teaching German. I have now accepted the position of sub-master of the High School at Torrington, Connecticut. For two years I have served as a lay reader in Windsor Locks and Suffield. I was one of the founders of the Harvard Club of Connecticut last winter, and am also a member of the Con- necticut Head-masters Club. I still keep up the old interest in athletics, winning second place in the broad jump in our local meet last Fourth of July. (Don't ask me how many para- sangs I covered.) I spend a large part of my vacation on the river in company with my son, with whose assistance I am, this summer, building a power boat. By the way, the aforesaid son graduated from the high school in June, 1909, and will follow the trail of his father to Cambridge as soon as he reaches the age limit. I believe he wants to divide his time equally between the chemical laboratory and the Weld Boat Club."
OLIVER WADSWORTH SHEAD
Born at Eastport, Maine, 6 November 1869, of Edward Edes Shead (drug- gist) and Luci Wadsworth. Fitted at Phillips Exeter. Class Status: Regular A.B. Died at Waverley, Massachusetts, 3 August 1909.
During his college course Shead took great interest in track athletics. He was on the Mott Haven Team for three years, and was a point winner and very consistent performer in the high hurdles. Although this event was his specialty, he was a fine all-round athlete. At Exeter and Harvard he won many prizes in the short indoor dashes, fence vault, standing and running high and broad jumps.
After graduation he studied law for one year at Columbia
OUUv, JY <x<UyvrVWt Sis^
Fourth Report 189
University, and was graduated from the New York Law School in 1895. He was admitted to the New York Bar, and practised in New York City for a little over a year. In Jan- uary, 1897, he formed a partnership for the practice of law in Boston with his classmate, Fred W. Moore. This associa- tion existed until about two years before his death.
Aside from the practice of his profession, in which he took an absorbing interest, Shead was fond of reading, travel, and yachting. Always surrounded by books, he was a discriminat- ing: reader. He found time on several occasions for travel in Europe, the West Indies, and the California coast. His sum- mer vacations were usually spent on or near the sea.
Born at the very tip end of Maine, " Shadrach," as the mem- bers of the Mott Haven Team affectionately called him, was a splendid example of the Yankee in the finest interpretation of the term. There was inborn in him a gentleness, kindliness, and geniality of character that attracted irresistibly and made those who knew him well love him. Members of the Class on the Track Team will bear witness to the fact that he was the life and wit of the training table. The dryness of his humor and his bubbling joviality, concealed behind a solemn mask, went far toward relieving the strain of preparation for the Dual and Mott Haven games. A man of high principle and rare humor, a steadfast friend, his was a very lovable character.

RenS Moen, 15 August 1904. Now member of Charles Hathaway and Company, bankers, New York City.
" I have continued at my commercial paper business and have undertaken successfully a couple of moderate-sized business reorganizations so that in addition to my regular work I am chairman of the board of directors of a leather manufacturing concern and chairman of the finance committee of a publishing house. Incidentally I caught the task of being secretary of a cemetery. This sounds lugubrious but it is not. I have put in some considerable time in hospital work in New York and found the work interesting but trying. As to exercise I still keep up horseback and tennis and get in an occasional fox hunt, and am happy to report excellent health. All this sounds like a brief of personal events but I lack the gift of the pen and never will be able to write my own biography even if my dearest ambitions for life were fully realized. One of them I have realized, viz., a very happy family. My boys will go to the college of their own selection with certain restrictions. I shall endeavor to use my influence for the best of them all. Namely Harvard."

Taught mostly Historv of Education during the three years I was in that position. Lectured chronically to teachers' clubs, women's clubs, men's clubs, for the study of higher education, member of Executive Committee of Southern California Schoolmasters' Club, recording secretary of South California Teachers' Association, and have just lately assumed office of superintendent of city schools at Redlands, California. Expect to quit the profession and get into business as soon as I can afford the luxury. All my lectures — thirty to forty a year — are practically public service work (unpaid). One might consider all teaching as of the same class. Am fortunate in having fair health; otherwise I could not meet the difficulties of the position. Enjoy out-door life, hunting, fishing, camping, and walking. To these I am indebted for health, wealth and some degree of happiness."

Class Status: Special, 1888-91. I. Law, 1891-92. Now with Pittsburg Plate Glass Company at Boston.
" I am still in the glass business, although some of my archi- tect classmates have evidently overlooked it. My travelling has been confined to a fishing trip each year and two weeks of sailing, etc., in Casco Bay, with an occasional visit to New York. I have a few horses and a colt that I expect eventually to unload on to our friend Tripp, but this may take several years as Tripp is not swift in his movements. I originally entered the glass business thinking it was something I could see through, but we all make mistakes. If you ever land in New York and want a good time don't fail to look up Collamore."

" More than two years ago my health became such that I was obliged to give up all work. Have since had some verse published in Collier's Weekly, and am now trying to get a volume of verse published — so far without success. I should certainly send my sons, had I any, to Harvard. However, that is looking a long way ahead — for me."

Fourth Report 195
" During the past five 3-ears I have tasted of the bitter and sweet of life — happily married for one short year and then left with a little motherless boy. Aside from this my life has continued in the ordinary routine of a physician's work. I have a four months' service each year at the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary. I also make an occasional visit at the hospital on Long Island. If I feel the way I do now I doubt very much whether I shall send my son to Harvard. To my mind he is an exceptional boy who can meet Harvard half way. The things which I object to in Harvard are the bulky elective system ; the small chance for individual instruc- tion ; the occasional recitation in the larger courses : and the lack of personal interest among the professors and instructors in the students themselves. An immature boy should be helped, not merely pushed along."
HARTWELL BALLOU SPAULDING

" I have lived and live a very quiet, uneventful life, greatly interested in the social and political questions of the country of my adoption. I have occupied myself to some extent with social-religious work among our youth and the laboring class. In 1905 the reigning Pontiff nominated me a Knight Com-
196 Class of 1893
mander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great, and in 1907 His Serene Highness the Prince Grand Master of Malta con- ferred upon me the Knighthood of St. John of Jerusalem. It is certainly not without just pride that I find myself the only American ever received into the Sovereign Order of Malta. My health since taking up my residence in Rome has been ex- cellent. I am unmarried but if I lived in America and had sons for the University, Harvard certainly would be my choice for the broadness and solidity of its culture."

In 1905 resigned from the Geological Survey, and became geologist for the American Smelters Securities Company and allied interests. The following year organized a geological department for these companies, and became chief geologist. In 1908 organized the firm of Spurr & Cox (Inc.) consulting specialists in mining, with offices in New York, Denver and Mexico City. Health excellent, attributable to out-of-door work among other things. May send my sons to Harvard ; am not altogether convinced that it is the only place for every- thing."

" I am still doing building and general contracting in Cuba when such work presents itself. Had I sons, it is needless to say that they would join the band and root for ' old Harvard.' Riding, a little hunting, and sailing fill in the leisure hours. When the political future of this island is once defined, there will be far worse places than Cuba in which to linger. I am one of twelve Harvard men within Havana's limits, and I feel certain there are many more scattered about the Island."

Harriet Harding. Fitted at Chelsea High. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now manufacturing paints at Boston.
" I have been attending quite strictly to business for the period named, ' business ' meaning manufacturing, in my case. Am interested but not active in out-of-door sports, have an in- clination to encourage good work in government and charity, but have shunned the former and participated somewhat in the latter. Enjoy good health, not because a bachelor necessarily, but because, being so, I nevertheless live simply and quietly. I believe, in most cases, that a boy who is to go to college should go to Harvard, surely."
GEORGE EDGAR STOKER
Born at North Topeka, Kansas, 16 April 1871, of George Coakman Stoker

Eleanor Ray, born 4 August 1898. Now practising law at San Francisco.
" Upon leaving Harvard in 1893 I came to San Francisco to study law, where I was subsequently admitted to the bar. In 1895 I returned to Topeka, Kansas, and engaged in active practice of the profession until June, 1907, when I came to San Francisco for a permanent residence. This last change was compulsory. For the last few years of my residence in Kansas I was severely troubled with hay fever. I could obtain relief only by coming to the Coast, and I concluded to come here and remain rather than make an annual visit of approximately three months. I am engaged in general practice of the law here, with offices in the Grant Building. I must admit that ever since my first residence in San Francisco in 1893-4 I could not rid my- self of the desire to return to make it my permanent home. There is something in the air here that inspires one with an en- thusiasm for the place that no earthquake or fire can diminish, and I shall never cease to sing the praises of California and of San Francisco in particular. In the ' Fifth Report ' I may have something to say of outside interests, charitable or public,

which a too recent residence makes impossible now. In the ab- sence of a son what else could I say than if I had one he should enter Harvard just as soon as he could pass the entrance examinations? "

" In November, 1904, I bought a place in Belmont with about an acre and a half of land and live there with my family. I like it and am growing fat. Last October I severed my connec- tion with my former partners and am now practising law alone. I have no cause to complain of my success as I am pretty busy and get paid well. I sit as judge often enough to furnish a variety. No members of the class have yet come before me, but I had a '94 man up the other day for violating the speed law. I tempered mercy with justice on that occasion. I do some probation work in connection with my court duties. I have done some work in town affairs but have held no office. I should send any son of mine to Harvard. I have yet to see any college or university that excells it in any particular. I have kept up my interest in argumentative discussion and have coached four of the debating teams. As they have all won I presume I have been of some assistance. It takes a good deal of time but it seems to be one of the things I can do with some degree of success. I go to all the athletic games and am more interested in them than in an}r other of my ' playtime ' interests. I persuaded a bashful nephew to try for the track team. He demurred but yielded when I told him he might make the team before he got through. As he scored five points for us in 1906 and holds the intercollegiate record for his event, I feel that I have not lived in vain. Get what fun I can out of a rather humdrum life. When it gets unbearable I go fishing.

" I am still practising law as a member of the firm of Stover & Sweetser at the old stand, 39 Court Street, Boston. We always have enough to do, and hence my recreations are limited to soldiering in the militia. I am now lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Massachusetts Infantry, and enjoy the service very much since the War Department has begun to take an interest in us, and send us to army camps and manoeuvers. My health is good, owing doubtless to regular habits and a good conscience. I meet many '93 men in my daily routine, and taking them as samples, shall send all my sons (if I ever have any) to Harvard. On the whole, the past few years have been uneventful, though pleasant and prosperous."

202 Class of 1893
" I am engaged in a business which absorbs most of my time and attention, and because of the fact that my seniors devote a large part of their time to charitable, philanthropic, and munici- pal work, the details in a business that consists largely of details devolves on the juniors, of whom I am one. I am secretary of the Jewish Protectory and Aid Society, which maintains at Hawthorne, New York, a school for the care of such Jewish boys as are committed by the Children's Court of the County of New York. My general health has been good with the excep- tion of a short period about two and a half years ago when I had to submit to a rather serious surgical operation. I attribute my good health to the fact that I am out of doors as much as possible, golfing, riding, playing tennis, and walking, accord- ing to the season. I have two sons and hope that both will go to Harvard, because I regard the training there as broader and more liberal than at any other college of which I have knowledge. It has always appeared to me that the knowledge of method, to know how, is more important in the development of a career than mere scholastic attainment and I think that the elective system, with all its supposed faults, is more favorable to that acquirement of method than any prescribed course."

" There is in this far east country a microbe which produces a disease called inaction and which requires more than the usual amount of moral will force to counteract its insidious onset. In the march of time since the last report there is little personal history worth relating. Of the five years to be accounted for, one was spent in the wilds of northern Luzon Island, studying tropical diseases and rendering reports to the Government, with an occasional contribution to medical journals. Ten months were spent in the United States visiting hospitals, making ad- dresses and endeavoring to recover some lost corpuscles (which both my wife and I needed to enable us to continue our resi-
Fourth Report 203
dence in this part of the world). Rather more than two years I spent in Kyoto in the effort to place a church hospital on a work- ing basis, and since November 1907 I have held my present appointment as medical director of the Equitable Life Assur- ance Society of the United States, and am trying to hold my own as medical practitioner in a community almost as cosmo- politan as New York. Have joined two Japanese medical so- cieties and the several clubs of which this port boasts. I play tennis and ride a bicycle and occasionally take walking trips. My general health is good as may be evidenced by my having passed a first-class medical examination for life insurance re- cently. I believe my physical condition is due to temperate habits and a continued interest in out-door sports. I have volunteered to open a free clinic for tuberculosis in the Yoko- hama hospital, but final arrangements have not yet been com- pleted. Of course Harvard is my choice of a university for our boy and when the time comes I hope to be able to send him there. The reasons are obvious. Harvard is the best in America because the course of study is liberal and thorough, and on account of its social advantages."

Born at Brookline, 9 April 1871, of John Hubbard Sturgis (architect) and
Frances Anne Codman. Fitted at Groton. Class Status: Regular A.B.
Married Alice Rathbone Bowditch at Albany, New York, 13 April 1909. Died at Boston, 2 October, 1909.
Charles Russell Sturgis, the son of John Hubbard and Frances Codman Sturgis, was born at Brookline, April 9, 1871, and lived there during his boyhood. When Groton School was opened, he went there as one of the earliest class, and stayed there until he entered Harvard in 1889. After graduating from college, he took the regular Law School course, was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1896, and for the following three years worked in various Boston law offices. In 1899 he entered Mr. Robert Codman's office, devot- ing himself to the care of trust estates. To this work he ap- plied himself with interest and energy, and continued it until his death. Naturally gifted with a strong common-sense, he developed during this part of his life a very unusual amount of sagacity and judgment. His work was always character- ized by accuracy, thoroughness, and attention to detail.
Sturgis was interested in a number of different charitable institutions, and he gave a large proportion of his time and thought to them, showing the same application and singleness of purpose that he gave to his own work. He was a strong churchman, and for the latter part of his life had been a member of the corporation of the Church of the Advent in Boston. He had a very clear consciousness of what he thought was right, and he lived up to his principles to an unusual degree.
He was fond of many branches of sport. Through the autumn he regularly rode to hounds with the Norfolk Hunt Club, and his vacations he spent in trout-fishing in the Cana- dian woods, and in yachting. He had a great affection for the sea, and was a good sailor.
In April 1909 he married Alice, daughter of Edward Bow- ditch, of Albany. During his wedding journey in Europe he was taken ill with scarlet fever, and upon his return complica- tions ensued, of which he died October 2 of the same year. By his death we have lost one of our loyal comrades. Harvard

WALTER DANA SWAN
Born at Cambridge, 15 June 1871, of Walter Sampson Swan (banker) and
Louise Murdock. Fitted at Cambridge Latin, etc. Class Status: Special, 1889-91.
Married Eleanor Frances Gould at New York City, 28 December 1899. Children :
Oliver Gould, born 27 July 1904. Dana Westbrook, 23 January 1906. Died at Belmont, Massachusetts, 3 January, 1907.
Walter Dana Swan died at Cambridge January 3, 1907, at the age of thirty-five, from a pistol wound self-inflicted during a moment of mental unbalance resulting from overwork. He was the son of the late Walter S. Swan, a prominent citizen of Cambridge, president of the Charles River National Bank and well-known in Boston as a business man. As a lad his health was delicate and while at the Latin School a serious illness upset his plans of entering college with his class and forced him to go away for a year. When he was well enough he entered the Scien- tific School as a special student but was identified with his class in some courses. After two years he decided to make archi- tecture his profession and as the University then offered no courses in that subject he left it to study with Little, Brown & Moore of Boston. He then went to Paris and entered the Beaux Arts ; but he never was strong, his ambition was always beyond his health, and he broke down again and was obliged to come home. In 1897 the University established an archi- tectural department, and Swan was appointed an assistant in it. In 1901 he was made instructor, and in 1905 received a permanent, or " Faculty," appointment. In addition to his col- lege work he carried on a private practice. He spent the sum- mer of 1902 in Italy. He had artistic feeling and a remarkable appreciation for color. He attained considerable skill with his brush, and left a number of sketches, chiefly mementoes of European travel, which are full of charm. He was a member of the Harvard Pen and Brush Club, a junior member of the Boston Society of Architects, a craftsman member of the Arts and Crafts Society, etc.
With all his bright, friendly manner, Dana had a quiet, seri-
206 Class of i8g3
ous disposition and a great desire to excel in his profession, which led him to apply himself very steadily to his work, prob- ably too much so for the good of his health. Because of his short connection with the class he was not as widely known to the members as might have been expected ; but his manly and S3Tmpathetic nature enabled him to make strong friends of the men with whom he was thrown, and his death leaves a gap which cannot be filled.
He was married to Eleanor Frances Gould, of Tarrytown, New York, in 1899. Mrs. Swan and two children survive him.

Elaine, 5 March 1901 (died 10 March 1908). Now practising Christian Science at Worcester.
" I think the phrase ' hard work ' fits the situation as well as any thing. Is there any other Christian Science practitioner among the '93 boys? If so, he will understand what I mean. The only changes during that time have been three trips abroad in 1904, 1905, and the past three months (with my good wife). Have excellent health, due principally to the fact that I have no time to think of myself. Have no choice about colleges for my small son, as there is nothing else on the map but Harvard for him. As he is a very clever left-hand pitcher, he insists he must take Hartford's place on the nine at a later date. So you see it is not a question of ' shall ' or ' should ' I send my son to Harvard. The ' personal equation ' has simply usurped any pre- rogatives I might have in the matter."

In 1907 instructor in gyne- cology at Washington University. On May 4, 1907, married Florence Gottschalk. Spent the two following months in Paris and the Chateau Country. Have written annually several sci- entific articles, on my special line of work. Have recently been appointed gynecologist and secretary of the Medical Board of the Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital.

Class Status: Special, 1889-90. Joined Class Sophomore year. Now practising law at St. Louis.
" The past five years have been very much like the preceding five years. I have grown older and I hope wiser. My friends tell me I don't look older, and at present I can't recall many who have gone out of their way to tell me I have grown wiser. I have practised law in St. Louis to the satisfaction, I hope, of my clients. I could stand more of them. I continue my interest in politics — taking an active part in the practical affairs of the Republican party in both the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri. In spite of my activity I know how to scratch a ticket, especially for local officers. I never have held a political office. I get great enjoyment from out-door exercise. I am devoted to walking and tennis. I am a crank on the subject of walking alone — possibly because I am a bachelor. But to arouse clear, high thoughts I recommend a long walk, alone, on a good country road. It is n't so bad, for that matter, with a companion who does n't talk too much and who does n't insist upon pointing out beautiful spots which you have already dis- covered. I like tennis as much as I did when I used to play on Jarvis Field. As I am making admissions I shall have to admit that I do not play as well as then ; though that is damning my game with faint praise. My good health may, in a measure, be due to out-door exercise; but I also have to boast that my an- cestors and I have been walking the straight and narrow path.

Social service work is not my forte. However, I have taken an active part to bring about medical inspection of school children and also to make our public school buildings recreation centers in the evenings. I tell my friends who have sons that Harvard is the best place to equip a man to do the work in the world."
WILLIAM OSGOOD TAYLOR

HARRY LORENZO TEETZEL
Born at Milwaukee, 18 June 1870, of Lorenzo Harry Teetzel (merchant)
and Frances Grant. Fitted at Milwaukee Academy. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now music-teacher and writer at Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.
" I am still doing the same old stunts, and the difference in me now from six years ago is one of degree rather than kind. I am musical critic on the Milwaukee Journal, which post I have held for some years. I still labor for the good of humanity by teaching voice and piano. I am a crank on gardening and my first aim in life is to raise every variety of fruit and vegetable that can be eaten. I take great pleasure and comfort in working around my place. I have all kinds of flowers and fruits. My individual form of insanity — they say everbody is insane in some one direction — is tobacco raising. I raise choice varieties of cigar tobacco which, in due course of time, I make into
Fourth Report 209
cigars and smoke. For a couple of years I was regarded with fear and suspicion by my friends because I made them sample my cigars, but now I am ' onto the job ' better and my cigars are fine. My health is good because of lots of out-door exercise and because ' the good die young.' I have no ostensible sons to send to Harvard. I do a good deal of composition and ever and anon one of my pieces is sung here by some of the societies or phryed by the Milwaukee Orchestra. I keep pretty busy and have long since entirely ' cut out ' all social work. I have no time nor strength for anything outside of my business and my ' farm.' Best greetings to the ' boys.' I hope things will soon be so that I can come down to Cambridge and renew old friendships."
DERRICK ANTHONY TE PASKE
Bom at Greenleafton, Minnesota, 15 October 1868, of Henry John Te Paske
(farmer) and Gezina Tammel. Entered from Iowa College. Class Status: Entered Senior.
Married Agnes Dykstra at Sioux Center, Iowa, 2 July 1903. Now practising law at Sioux Center.
" Six years ago I was married to Miss Agnes Dykstra, a school teacher of Sioux Center, Iowa. Except for a wedding trip to New York, Boston, and other eastern points, I have kept at home pretty well, engaged in the general practice of law, such as is afforded in a rural community, and the smaller towns. Probate work is the best part of the practice. Since then I have finished the third term as mayor of this town, and the second term as County Attorney of Sioux County, Iowa. I am not holding any office now, except as member of two school boards, and director in a telephone company. The past spring I made the race for nomination on the Republican ticket for State senator, but failed, because the other fellow had more votes. I own my own home, with a three-acre plot of ground on the outskirts of town, where I have a good-sized garden, lawn, shade trees ; keep some horses and other animals ; raise some roadsters. To all of this I attend almost entirely myself. It beats a gymnasium for pleasure. Unpaid chari- table and public service work is almost limited to school matters and teaching a Sunday School class. There is little poverty, illiteracy or crime here. My health is excellent, doubtless due

in part to healthy parents, simple habits, and plenty of exercise. Unfortunately, I have no sons to send to Harvard. I am not getting rich, but lay by a little for the twilight and the evening hour."
LOUIS BARTLETT THACHER

Elizabeth Tudor, born 4 March 1909.
Henry Charles, 6 April 1910. Now manufacturing shoes at Boston.
" Except for occasional trips to New York and Virginia, New England has held me in her grip. The summer of 1906, however, was an exception, for I then visited Italy, France, and England. There are few changes to report in my business life. I am still president of the Davis Boot and Shoe Company and trustee of the H. C. Thacher estate. In addition I am now president of the Columbia Shoe Company (Incorporated), a shoe manufacturing corporation formed in 1906. In my social or personal life the event of most importance has been my marriage to Miss Delia Tudor which took place October 1907. My general health is satisfactory, — better than it was five or even ten years ago. This is due no doubt to more exercise and less worry. I get my exercise from golf, sailing, walking, riding, and farming. I have bought a farm at Hancock, New Hampshire, where I spend the autumn. My summers are still passed at Yarmouthport, Massachusetts."

"Until 1908 I lived in Boston. Travelled very little, but saw most of the men I knew well in college and found the great- est pleasure in their company. Then Louis Frothingham sug- gested I take a position with the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica, and gave me a lot of help about starting in ; and I have been very glad I took his advice. There are so many
Fourth Report 211
Americans here you do not realize very strongly that you are in a foreign country, and as for the climate conditions, we suffer a great deal more from the rain than from the heat. I think this country is a great place for anyone looking for something active to do, and, if you find such people I should not hesitate to advise them to try it. I am very much interested, — though inactive, — in sports (especially Harvard) and in politics. If I had sons I should send them to Harvard. I think that a man's ability in any desirable occupation must be increased by going through Harvard, and I do not believe that any other experi- ence could (on the whole) give a man more pleasure through life. I think all the 93's ought to be very pleased and proud of Louis Frothingham as a classmate."

at Troy.
" I have continued along the same line of business that I entered when I left college. Have taken a small part in public affairs. Am now President of the Board of Education. Also, I have remained in the National Guard, have had thirteen years' service, and have reached the rank of captain. Was married last Januarj7, and would send my sons to Harvard for the usual reason, — that a man gets more out of it than any other institution of its kind."

Elinore Alice, born 18 May 1908. Now in real estate at Washington.
" Admitted to Bar, District of Columbia, 1906. Have since practised law there. Lived regularly since May 1904 in Mont- gomery County, Maryland, at my father's country seat, and for recreation bred Great Dane dogs, which I have shown with great success at the various bench shows. Upon marriage I purchased an old colonial place of two hundred acres in Fair- fax County, Virginia, which I modernized, and continue the practice of law in the District of Columbia, and the breeding of Danes in Virginia. As the infirmity of deafness renders all but an office practice closed to me, which in Washington is not satisfactorily profitable, I have entered the field of real estate promotion, strictly on my own account, and have erected many apartment houses, stores, residences, and the like, upon vacant ground either belonging to me by inheritance or purchase, and have been very successful, financially. Have also promoted a telephone company in Virginia and many industrial enterprises, in which I have been a prominent stockholder, with varying degrees of success. And thus I stand at present, my chief immediate object being the redemption of my worn-out fields."

" My time has been devoted to business and taking care of an increasing family. I have now two boys bound for Harvard and two girls for lladcliffe if they live to grow up. I should favor Harvard for the reason that Harvard stands for the highest ideals in morals and education, and Radcliffe likewise. A boy that goes to Harvard learns to think for himself, and is apt to develop his originality. Also the general tone of the college life is higher than in other colleges. I have nothing to say about the other subjects except that my general health has been very good, and I attribute it to simple living. As to charity, I believe in helping individuals instead of institutions. I have built a winter and summer home and have got room enough to expand."

Answer declined under advice of counsel. My life during the past six years could not possibly interest anyone but myself. Life in a small provincial town is easily imagined without a chronicle of small beer."

DAVIS RIGHTER VAIL
Born at Iowa City, 18 July 1870, of Theodore Newton Vail (telephone) and
Emma Louisa Righter. Fitted at Phillips Exeter. Class Status: Regular A.B. Died at New York City, 20 December 1906.
216 Class o f i 8 93
Davis Righter Vail, only child of Theodore Newton and Emma (Righter) Vail was born in Iowa City, Iowa, July 18, 1870. Both his parents were of Northern New Jersey colo- nial families. From the place of his birth his parents soon moved to Omaha, Nebraska, thence to New York, and thence to Washington, District of Columbia, these frequent changes in residence marking his father's increasing responsibilities in connection with the Government Railway Mail service. In the year 1878 his father moved to Boston, bringing his family with him and making, as it proved, the permanent home of the son's boyhood. Here, besides some private instruction, he attended the old Chauncey Hall school.
In the fall of 1884 he entered Phillips Academy, Exeter, to fit for Harvard. His school life was without special incident. He was a roly-poly, good-natured fat boy at this time and rliil not attain the splendid height and proportions which, in after years, we all admired, until his senior year at school, when he played right guard on the team which defeated Andover forty- four to four. On this same team were such famous stars as McClung and Morrison of Yale, Cranston and George Harding of Harvard. His school training was supplemented by two trips abroad, the last one occupying the greater part of a year, most of which was spent in Germany and was devoted to study under a tutor.
He entered Harvard with our class in the fall of 1889, and played football, most of this autumn, on the second eleven ; but played guard on the freshman team against Yale. He joined the freshman crew squad immediately after the football season and rowed Number 6 in the freshman boat in their race with Columbia at New London. There was no race with the Yale freshmen that year. The following autumn he again joined the football squad, and in the unremitting hammering charac- teristic of that particular period of Harvard athletics he tore a ligament in his leg that proved an injury from which he never entirely recovered. This, however, did not prevent him from joining the rowing squad immediately after Christmas, and he rowed at Number 6 in the varsity crew which defeated Yale by eleven lengths at New London.
The next fall saw him back on the gridiron, but, though he was a regular substitute that year, the old injury to his leg proved too much of a handicap for him to ever be very effective
VCXJSx^) QioJutuc /OU^f
Fourth Report 217
again as a football player, in spite of the splendid pluck and persistency with which he fought to overcome this physical dis- advantage. The following spring he again rowed at Number 6 in the varsity shell, but this year the crew was defeated.
He was made captain of the varsity crew, and the responsibil- ities of this position compelled him to give up football and save his strength and energies for rowing alone. In fact, his physical condition at this time was so impaired by the over-tax of his natural powers, imposed in the past three years, that he did not actually join the rowing squad until late the following winter, and there was some doubt of his being able to row at all that year. However, the Yale race saw him in his old seat at Number 6, but Yale was victorious again. So much for athletics.
I think the characteristics which impressed his friends the most in Vail's personality were his high standards in esti- mating character, his great fairness and — one which all must have recognized at once who saw anything of him — his keen sense of humor. It was perhaps this last more than any other of his many splendid qualities that endeared him most to those who knew him intimately.
After graduation he entered the law school, from which he graduated in 1906. The following autumn he entered the office of Seward, Guthrie, & Steel in New York, and was ad- mitted to the bar in that city.
He had not followed his chosen vocation long, however, before he was forced to recognize that his health — never good after graduation from college — would not permit of the long hours of application and confinement necessary to the satisfactory accomplishment of his task, and he gave up work and went abroad in search of rest and restored health. The trip was further prolonged by a journey through South America. On his return he lived for some time at his father's home, then es- tablished at Lyndon, Vermont. Another trip to Europe fol- lowed ; then a winter in Egypt, another in Colorado, and one in Arizona, from whence he was recalled to attend his mother's deathbed.
The following year, on the twentieth day of December, 1906, just as he felt that the time had come at last when his health would permit him to take up his life's work again, he died, after a short illness of malignant typhoid. A life cut off on the very

In 1904 I became interested with others in founding in Washington a National Society of the Fine Arts. The society was definitely organized in April 1905, and I was elected its first secretary,
Fourth Report 219
filling that office until November 1907. In August 1907, I was a delegate appointed by the secretary of State, to the Inter- national Zoological Congress in Boston. In October 1907 I was made supervising geologist of the Coastal Plain Investiga- tion of the United States Geological Survey from Massachusetts to the Rio Grande, including the Mississippi Embayment. In response to an invitation from the officers of the Carnegie Insti- tution of Washington I have undertaken a detailed study of the recent corals of Florida, especially to determine the physical and chemical causes limiting their distribution, and the effect of environmental factors on growth and other variation. In this connection I am making the first attempt to raise corals from embryonic stages under observation, and the experiments promise to be successful. In connection with my official duties, I have travelled extensively over that portion of the United States east of the Mexican border, and have published a number of articles and monographs, the principal one ' The Recent Madre- poraria of the Hawaiian Islands and Laysan,' a quarto bulletin of the United States National Museum. The only definite out- door interest I have, outside numerous scientific interests, is walking. My general health, except a severe nervous break- down in 1906 caused by overwork, has been good."

" Occupation and residence unchanged, but salary substan- tially increased. Have published articles in various periodicals on special aspects of Japanese finance, economics, and politics. Have a son born five years ago. Hope to educate him at Har- vard, because the wide scope of interests and opportunities with much freedom of choice and action at Harvard seem to me best suited to develop independence, resourcefulness, self-reliance and self-respect in a young man and so to prepare him for a happy and useful life. By groping in the little world at

Harvard, with the best of guidance and suggestion available for the asking, he will best learn how to find his way in the big world into which he must later emerge. Health excellent owing to regular and temperate habits, exercise and deep-breathing in the open air. Had seven months' leave of absence last year, which, with my wife and son, I spent delightfully in America — a part of it with special delight at Cambridge.

In 1906 I started Yachting, a magazine de luxe for those interested in sailing and motor-boating, on the lines of Country Life, which has made a place for itself. So far as public service is concerned, I am a member of the Dobbs Ferry (New York) School Board, president of the Dobbs Ferry Hos- pital, which I have had the pleasure of building up, president of the Board of Directors of the Manassas Industrial School, and am in my tenth year of service as a trustee of the City Club, in which I have just resigned from the chairmanship of the Membership Committee after five years of service. I am a trustee of the Kowaliga (Alabama) Colored Industrial Insti- tute, vice-president of the Westchester County Civic League, a member of the Dobbs Ferry Citizens' League, etc., etc. During my vacations I generally travel, having since the last report been to Europe twice, to the Pacific Coast, and last winter to Venezuela, Panama, and the West Indies. Two years ago Wash-
Fourth Report 221
ington and Lee University conferred upon me the degree of Litt. D. I have particularly enjoyed my services as chairman of the Baldwin Memorial Committee, which raised $153,000 as a me- morial to that sterling Harvard man, William H. Baldwin, Jr., '88. This has been given to Tuskegee, in which Mr. Baldwin was especially interested. I am now a member of the executive committee of the Carl Schurz Memorial Fund, and hope that a portion of this will go to Harvard University. It will be seen from the above that I lead a very busy life, despite which my health is excellent. To answer your other question, I doubt very much whether, if I had a son I should send him to Harvard. I find plenty of other Harvard men in the same condition of doubt. One of them, a former instructor and a man of the highest standing, says positively that he will send his boy to Williams. He and I have both been greatly struck by the thor- oughness of the Williams education and we are both appalled at the size of Harvard and the luxury of the Mt. Auburn Street region. I am glad I have not got to make a final decision in this matter."

" My work has been going along on the same lines, largely in the examination of the legality of municipal bonds. It is almost entirely office work, and consequently it is an interesting and welcome contrast to sit occasionally on the bench of the Municipal Court of Brookline. I most certainly intend to send my boy to Harvard. If I did n't I should expect to have the mass of the Wares who have been at Harvard rise in their graves and haunt me to the end of my days."

Still lecturing on Wordsworth and working upon a variorum edition of his works. Am planning to tramp two or three months this autumn with my boy through southern France, Germany and Switzerland. This boy is a fine specimen of health and good looks, is in training for Harvard athletics, and when he gets to the University will do something in the way of help- ing Harvard to swipe Yale a little oftener, if the Eastern students at Harvard will give the West a better representation on the teams. I have become a member of the Indianapolis Literary Club — the finest literary organization in the State."

JOSEPH ROWE WEBSTER

John Rowe, born 25 December 1904.
Anne Rowe, 10 September 1906 (died 25 December 1906).
Brittain, 25 November 1907. Now tutoring at Cambridge.
" For the past six years I have been in Cambridge as assistant to the Great Father of All Tutors. I have given instruction, for the most part to candidates for admission to Harvard, in English and in German. I also give tutoring in various college courses. I do not believe in ' seminars,' and do not give them. We have with us throughout the year resident pupils who are preparing for college ; and regular work with them occupies much of my time. I beg to state that I am in Cambridge even from the latter part of July to the latter part of September, as well as from the latter part of September to the latter part of June ; I am faintly cognizant of the fluttering life of the Summer School; and while the Dog-Star rages, I teach my sizzling pupils how to fry their brains while I roast my own.
" My out-door interests, so far as actual activity is con- cerned, are largely confined to the two possible methods of getting from my present place of abode to Harvard Square. I can either walk there directly — about a mile — or can walk what seems like a mile and a half, and take a car after a half- hour's wait. My health at present is excellent, if I give tea and coffee a wide berth and eat small meals.
" If the conditions of undergraduate life at Harvard do not change, I doubt very much whether I should wish to send a son of mine there. Williams and Princeton seem to offer a more normal college life than does Harvard, so far as undergraduate pursuits are concerned. As my sons are still in the infant cate- gory, I am much interested in the public milk supply, and
226 Class of 1893
have been instrumental in forming a neighborhood club, which gets milk from one farm in Lexington. We have been so success- ful that the Cambridge milk analyzer and various other well- known doctors are interested. For several months our milk has been second to none."

From autumn 1904 till now at Harvard as instructor in English, i. e., Freshman com- position, and old and elderly English. No happenings out of the ordinary. Good physical condition attributable to inheri- tance and uninteresting habits."

Edward Motley, Jr., 24 May 190G. Now in cotton business at New York City.
" I have lived in New York for the last five years during which time I have been actively engaged in my business as a cotton merchant. My health has been good, for which my New England ancestors are to be thanked, as I have had little time for exercise, and like ' Mark Twain,' I have never smoked more than one cigar at a time. Both my boys are headed for Harvard. Is it necessary to ask a Harvard man why ? "

JAMES RAYNOR WHITING
Born at New York City, 17 October 1872, of James Eaynor Whiting (law- yer and manufacturer) and Gertrude Ingersoll Allen. Entered from Williams College. Class Status: Entered Junior.
Married Mildred Eveleigh Taylor at Poughkeepsie, 7 May 1904. Children: James Raynor, Jr., born 21 April 1905. Franck Taylor, 9 October 1907. Now practising medicine at New York City.
" The year 1903 was for me a pretty continuous round of routine work, but in 1904 the monotony of work was agreeably relieved by my marriage to Miss Eveleigh Taylor, daughter of the late Major F. E. Taylor, United States Army. The out-door interests of a physician are necessarily limited, but mine have taken the form of small-boat sailing: cruising about the Sound and neighboring waters in a knockabout. This sort of sport has been a large factor in keeping me in robust health, although an inherited constitution of no small degree of tough- ness must account for a part at least of my ability to live in New York and lose so few days from business on account of illness.
" My two boys are pretty young yet when it comes to a consideration of their future college. But when they do go my decision as to where they shall go will be influenced to a certain extent by their own desires. They seem already to show so many signs of being * chips ' that it is probable that they will follow their dad's trail to Harvard; but as one of my objects in life is to prevent their small feet from getting into every footstep of mine, they may get off the trail more or less."

Ruth, 9 September 1906. Now practising law at Boston.
" No real change except the usual development along usual lines, due to added years and experience. Am still at work at the law at 28 State Street. After seven unanimous re-elections as city solicitor of Maiden, concluded to stop and ended my work there March 1, 1907. No other public office. Do very little political work but hope to carry Maiden for Frothingham, '93, this year and several to come. Health good, due to regular doses of hard work and fresh air, and not too much food. Do what I can for the various good works carried on in Maiden, and take much satisfaction in helping run an Industrial Boys' Club and in helping to provide a first-class athletic field for
230 Class of 1893
the Maiden High School — one of their very own. Was much impressed and much pleased with the development of '93 during the past five years, as it appeared at our ' 15th.' Am proud to be one of such a good lot. Sorry to be unable to offer any- thing new or unusual, but such are not in my line."

" Left Paris in November, 1905, to ply my trade of portrait painter in Hawaii. Have had my full share of chances to ' do something ' ; and will hope to satisfy you all, some day, of the sincerity of my efforts to please. In 1909 I travelled with my wife over the old trail and found it more than ever delightful. Tins was due to great ' treatment ' accorded us by members of '93 and others. Am feeling need of less food and more exer- cise, but am otherwise sound. My ' charities ' are mainly by way of some organized concern. I play golf, somewhat, and tramp the trails of my native heath. Also ride and surf. Hope to attend the twentieth anniversary and survive it."

" I have been actively engaged in real estate business at 500 Fifth Avenue for four years past. Spend all the time pos- sible in the air, principally on my farm at Campogaro, New Jersey. Health is good and is traceable to out-door habits. I intend sending my brother to Harvard in 1909 or 1910 for the reason that I consider the life there the best to be found in college circles anywhere."

Ella Rebeka Parker. Fitted at Somerville High. Class Status: Regular A.B. Now librarian John Carter Brown Library at Providence, Rhode Island.
" Most of my time for five years has gone into the Library of which I have charge, and which has had to be developed out
232 Class of 1893
of its former condition — a gentleman's private library — into a semi-public university institution, with funds and a building of its own. My job has been to organize it, with the idea of making it of use to the university that owns it and to historical scholars for whose benefit it is supposed to exist. There is nothing of precisely this same sort, so far as I know, anywhere else. I have had the mightity interesting problem to work out of establishing policies, of determining the direction of devel- opment, with practically nothing in the way of experience else- where to guide me.
" On the side, I 've been serving the public, that part of it that interests me most and seems to me to need intelligent, dis- interested ' service ' most — the people of our own sort — by doing my turn of duty as secretary, house committee, gover- nor, etc., of most of the clubs I belong to. I am now trying my hardest to get out of these things on the theory that I 've served my turn, and can now enjoy all privileges of kicking for the rest of my life.
" I have printed a few books, — mostly other people's work, — ranging from a love story to serious historical essays de- signed to demonstrate that Boston was ' The Wickedest City in the World ' in 1682, on the evidence of old Cotton Mather. These two and one other were published on three successive days ; and the total number of copies printed of the three was 660, which is rather above the average for my publications."

My out- door interests are usual summer sports : tennis, etc. In winter I play racquets a great deal. I mountain climbed with F. Allen, '93, in Rockies summer of 1905, and did some travelling out to Pacific coast, along it, etc. Summer 1906 I was abroad. My health is good. I have no sons to send to Harvard that I know of."

John Bryant, 28 April 1903.
Theresa, 7 June 1904. Now Headmaster Middlesex School at Concord, Massachusetts.
" Have been devoting all my energies to building up Middle- sex School which has, so far, succeeded beyond all expectations. Beginning in 1901 with nineteen boys, it reached its limit of growth so far as number goes, in 1906. The two years since then have been devoted to internal improvements. The task of accomplishing anything like a successful administration of the School, together with the effort to keep in touch with those of its graduates who are students at Harvard, leaves me little time for outside interests."
SAMUEL LEE WOLFF
Born at Baltimore, 15 January 1874, of Leopold Wolff (merchant) and
Amelia Meyer. Fitted with Dr. J. Sachs. Class Status: A.B. 1892. Now Professor of English at University of Michigan.
" I have spent the past six years in endeavoring to teach English — first at the DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City, then at the University of Tennessee, lastly at the University of Michigan — with the result that I have learned a vast deal more than I have taught. Previous reports show that I was a lawyer before I reformed. I may add that the reform is permanent, and that I have never regretted it. My sons, if I ever have any, and can afford to send them to college, shall go first to a small college, preferably in the middle West, that they may not be lost in the shuffle. Two years at such a college ought somewhat to develop their individualit}7, give them a reasonable portion of social success to back them up, and enable them to appreciate their opportunities. So much accom- plished by way of preparation, they may, perhaps, be ready for Harvard."

Besides my regular teaching I have undertaken the work of an associate editor of the History Teachers' Magazine recently established in Philadelphia.

Young (farmer) and Abbie Ann Bartlett. Fitted at State Normal School, Illinois.
Class Status: Special, 1889-90. Joined Class Sophomore year. Now practising law at Boston.
" I have been engaged in the general practice of the law. Removed to 60 State Street, Boston, not long ago. Out-door interests : walking in the country, wherever the scenery is beauti- ful. Charitable work too small to mention. General health believed to be good. I attribute it to the fact that my ancestors lived the simple life in the country and that I lived in the country until about three years before, going to Harvard College and that I have for the most part lived the simple life."

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Fund
At a meeting of the Class, June 23, 1908, the following reso- lutions were passed :
Whereas, It has become the custom of each class at Harvard, on the occasion of its 25th Reunion, to present to the College the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, and
Whereas, It is eminently desirable that '93 should not fall short of other classes in its devoted labor for its Alma Mater,
Resolved, That the Class of Harvard '93 hereby undertake to raise $100,000 for Harvard College on or before Commence- ment Day, 1918, and to that end be it
Further Resolved, That a committee of nine Trustees, with power to change their number and to fill vacancies, be appointed by the chair to undertake the raising of such a fund, by ten annual subscriptions, or by such other method as they may find advisable, and to care for the same in a manner best suited in their judgment to safeguard and increase the fund, with power to invest the same and to make any change of investment, and be it
Further Resolved, That the fund shall be known as the Har- vard '93 25th Anniversary Fund, and shall be paid over to the Treasurer of Harvard College, on Commencement Day, 1918, or sooner, if in the judgment of the Trustees it is advisable so to do.
The Committee of Trustees appointed June 26, 1908, were:
George Richmond Fearing, Jr., Chairman, 19 Congress St.,
Boston, Mass. Charles H. Fiske, Jr., 60 Congress St., Boston, Mass. Charles Russell Sturgis, 27 Kilby St., Boston, Mass. George H. Ingalls, La Salle St. Station, Chicago, 111. Morrill Dunn, Old Colony Building, Chicago, 111. Walter Cary, 1 West 30th St., New York City.
238 Class of 1893
N. Thayer Robb, 43 Exchange Place, New York City. Dexter Blagden, 17 Broad St., New York Cit}\ Howard Caswell Smith, Secretary and Treasurer, 45 Wall St., New York City.
The Trustees issued a circular January 15, 1909, suggesting and giving details for the following methods of contributing to the fund :
1. The contribution of a lump sum.
2. An annual subscription for ten years to be paid at a stated date each year until 1918.
3. The purchase of life insurance for the benefit of the fund.
4. A donation by testamentary bequest. (This last form would rather be considered as supplemental to the second.)
The Treasurer reports that about seventy replies have been received, of which about forty have given definite assurances in various forms. He adds : " The percentage of answers is small and discouraging, and I sincerely hope that '93 will give its Committee a little more encouragement than it has. We are not asking the members of the Class to do anything be3rond their power, nor do we expect them to make any great sacrifices for the benefit of the college: but undoubtedly we all have a duty, and I trust the whole Class will perform it."
NAHANT, JUNE 23, 1908
"V\^ho are singing as they saunter, Who are cheering on the lea ?
Who are marching, lock-step, clock- step,
In their carnival of glee ?
Who are dining on Olympus ?
Who, while surging o'er the sea,
Yell a yep-tune to old Neptune,
Yodling quindecennially ?
Who are crowned with gold and sable,
Every man a king-on-spree ?
Who are smiling, and beguiling
Every grudge with bonhomie ?
Look ! their flag in van-guard flutt'ring,
Vouches no vain victory — ■
Royal red, on field black-golden,
Flames the symbol, '93 !
Dining, singing, marching, cheering,
Smiling love for all to see,
What when paid them could persuade them
Back to old disunity ?
Footsteps — hear them now departing !
Harvard, honoring each degree,
And by emptiness preempted,
Mourns — but most for Ninety-Three,
As the bugle-note that called them
With far-echoing reveille,
Sounds farewell — Farewell then, Class- mates,
Farewell, Men of Ninety-Three !

Occupations
It is to be regretted that no reasonably complete logical and systematic classification of the ordinary occupations of college graduates has yet been generally agreed upon. Until the adoption of some such uniform classification all matters of vocational sta- tistics, tabulations and comparisons must remain difficult and unsatisfactory.
