PREFACE
It was the editor's intention to publish a record of the Class
three years after graduation and with that end in view work on
the collection of data was begun. Shortly after that time it was
proposed by some of the secretaries of later classes that the Tri-
ennial book be omitted and a record published instead at five-
year intervals. This plan I have adopted in this book, which
is the first to be published of the suggested "five-year records."
There are, no doubt, faults in the book, many things not
appearing that should appear and some things appearing that
should not appear, and the editor will be glad to receive any
criticism of the work.
A comparison of the locality index with the permanent address
list will be of assistance in locating a classmate.
The editor wishes to thank those members of the Class who
have assisted him in this work; especially Dick Whittier and
Alec Lawton for their articles on Triennial, Lowell Clucas for his
account of the Alumni University Fund, and Cliff Bates for
his account of Sheff since 1905. Much of the biographical work
and the preparation and compilation of the statistical tables has
been done by the Class Secretaries Bureau and the editor wishes
to express his appreciation to the director of this bureau, Edwin
Rogers Embree, for his personal assistance and counsel.

TRIENNIAL
By DICK WHITTIER
It was Sunday night when the writer reached New Haven
and found that several members of the Class had preceded him.
Some had been in training there since Saturday a few were
found wandering around the town, and others were reported as
having gone to Momauguin and the Rock.
Monday morning the crowd met. at the Tont to get their torea-
dor costumes. Low Clucas had ordered fifty-four-inch trousers
for a thirty-four-inch length of limb, but the shears fixed that.
He and Freddie Becker bought out an Italian organ-grinder and
made their fortunes in a jaunt about the city, as "Pedro and da
Monk."
When everybody had satisfied himself as to his appearance as
"The Toreador" about half the Class gathered at Heub's to dis-
cuss lunch and "that which made Milwaukee jealous." The torea-
dor song was tried with other close harmony, and went better
at each repetition. Then an adjournment was taken to Momau-
guin and everyone went in for a dip. Stone gave an exhibition
of the "crawl" and Clucas started on a long distance swim to
Spain. The Class decided that they could not afford to lose
him, and sent out a life-boat to bring him back.
Everyone met at the Tont in the evening, and took the trolley
to the Rock. The crowd held together for the first part of the
evening and tried the "Human Roulette Wheel," which didn't
improve the costumes any, and left a good deal of cuticle hang-
ing around the floor. Then the "Chutes," "Down and Out,"
"Tickler" and "Merry-go-round" all had a turn, and finally
Mart Baldwin arrived, immaculate in citizen's clothes. They
tried so hard to get him on the roulette wheel, but sartorial
instincts prevailed and the "best-dressed man" refused to lose
his reputation.
Tuesday morning Bill Barber called the roll of the Class meet-
ing. Ninety-six responded, including Pete Grant's "not pre-
4 REUNIONS
pared." The Secretary spoke of the Class Record, and after
other business was transacted, the Triennial Committee, composed
of Simmons, Curtis and Barber, was reflected as a Sexennial
Committee, with Martin Baldwin as an additional member.
Then the Class picture was taken and everyone marched to
the Hof-Brau for lunch. The shower induced the wise ones
to get rubber blankets, but it cleared before the march to the
field.
Out there there was a bull-fight, in which Pete Grant as the
forequarters was nearly killed by an irate cop a free fight with
the Irish Harrigans and when the Class was finally seated it
bought out the entire stock of one of the wet-goods merchants.
Wattie Day and Colonel Leavenworth reached town in time to
join in the parade married men have not the freedom of those
wise enough to remain single.
After the game the Class relay team, composed of Dolly Gray,
chauffeur, Roy Whitney, Ham Armstrong and other longlegs,
almost won the great pushmobile race for the Alumni Weekly
cup. Dolly steered a masterly race, but a leaky carburetor, tire
troubles, and bubbles in his think-tank prevented his winning.
In the evening the Class supper was held at Elks' Hall. Fred-
die Becker distinguished himself as a band leader, and Joe Spencer
pinched the Class Boy's cup in a neat speech. He must have
expected to get it ! Then the Class, headed by the band, marched
around New Haven, cheering the Faculty members who were at
home and Judge Taft, who was not.
The beer wagon was lost on the way, but Bill Barber saved us
from the approaching draught by finding and restoring it to us.
After starting several conflagrations with fireworks and may-
poling around the flagstaff, the Class carried the kegs to the
Campus. A close-harmony squad was formed around them, with
torches stuck in the ground for light.
Late that night, what was left of the costumes was laid away,
and the official part of the reunion was over. Several remained
over for commencement on Wednesday, and the never-to-be-
forgotten boat race on Thursday.
Too much credit cannot be given the committee and its chair-
man for the way in which things were carried out. The writer
TRIENNIAL

had an even better time than he had looked forward to, which is
saying a good deal. A brief account such as this is cannot include
a description of all the fun that went on among the different
groups of fellows, nor does it attempt to. Such things remain
in the memories of those who were present. AVith the same com-
mittee to manage things, the Class looks forward with keen anti-
cipation to its Sexennial reunion, now not so very far away.

SOME FEATURES OF TRIENNIAL
By ALEXANDER R. LAWTON, 30
"Write an account of Triennial !" So comes the word, and
the faithful scribe sits him down to write about whose Trien-
nial? Mine, or yours? While I was at Momauguin, were you
there too? Perhaps, but how do I know whether or not yours
was one of the heads I saw bobbing about among that floating
mass of seaweed, trash and humanity on a certain eventful Sun-
day afternoon in June? Perhaps yours was one of the voices
raised loud in complaint of the service in a certain place of
refreshment nearby and perhaps it wasn't. You might have
been one of those kind-hearted men in that very cafe who, being
thoroughly refreshed themselves, volunteered to assist the waiters
and bankrupt the proprietor. How can I tell, and would I
should I, if I could?
With consummate strategy, my honored classmates, you have
given the task of writing this account to another, secure in the
conviction that your own deeds can never see the light through
the window of his pen, and oblivious to the fact that no man
would put on paper the record of his own for that week of
weeks, thus writing himself down an undignified two-year-old
that he who runs may read. No, no ; that honored boss may
happen to run and read, and then, where would be those three
long years spent by us in putting on the cap of dignity and
trying to persuade him that it fits?
You have mounted me on a winged Pegasus. His body is
made of Triennial trivialities. One wing, the record of your
childish follies, I cannot make move, and the other, the story of
my own, I will not ; so Pegasus will not fly.
But, does any man need to be reminded of what he did? Will
not these few days always live for him as, perhaps, his happi-
est ? the happiest, at least, until he lives them again three years
from now? Some day, we must grow old, but no age can rob
us of the right to come back to New Haven, adding each time

one more link to the chain which holds every one of us to Yale :
a chain of metal which, as it grows older, only grows the
stronger ; the links of which never tarnish, but grow brighter as
the years go by.
For three years we had looked forward to the day when Tri-
ennial would begin, and now, with a rush, it is over. What have
we left? A perfect host of memories. At first it was all like
a great, hazy fog, and we had to stop and think to conjure up
the scenes which we knew lay behind it.
Gradually we see ourselves putting on costumes most becom-
ing to some. Do you remember how well our brawny president
looked in it, and how he stood, heels together, while Dolly Gray
ran in and out between his giant legs? Back there, too, is the
picture of Momauguin and the Rock and the roulette wheel,
which made us roll on the floor and hug each other in our ecstacies
over the new-found game. And, of course, the Class meeting
and picture are in the fog, and the impressive figure cut by one
tall and lanky High as he arrived, on time of course, driving to
the scene in state and a cab. And how gloriously we sang "The
Toreador" as we marched away !
We have a hazy sort of recollection of a baseball game and
a long, long dance out to the field ; of a great and glorious bull
which met us there, in charge of a real toreador (I know he
was real, because he had a mustache), and preceded us around
the field until it met a policeman and temporarily petered out;
of how we yelled for Big Bill Taft, and fought for our rejuve-
nated bull, routing the lion of 1902. We remember putting a
doll in the pushmobile and pushing him gloriously around the
diamond until victory and the cup were in sight, only to be
snatched from us by Roy Whitney's (or somebody's) long legs
getting mixed up with the wheels. And who doesn't remember
the long march back, and who cares to count the glasses which
were emptied to quench the fires burning within?
Back in the fog is a Class dinner, where a Class cup for the
Class Boy was fittingly presented, and most fittingly received by
the happy father in a neat extemporaneous speech. Paren-
thetically, I might tell, if I would, how a fair friend of Spencer's
told me the next day that she knew that speech by heart and
8 REUNIONS
had heard it eloquently proclaimed from the top of every chair
and table in her house, but, as everyone thinks that the talk
was the inspired result of natural eloquence and good spirits, I
will not betray him.
Some of the smokiness of that fog" is caused by fireworks
which we carried with that disregard for the eyes of others which
only Triennial can inspire. We remember marching behind a
band which was possessed of no sense of humor at all and, abso-
lutely failing to see the joke when a roman candle ball landed
squarely between their shoulder-blades, struck. And we lost the
beer wagon, and found it again, .its stock much depleted by its
faithful guardians who had been trying so long and so hard to
find our noiseless, lightless, inconspicuous Class.
Then came the distressed wail of the busy marts of trade
and commerce abandoned by their leaders a call which we heard
and heeded, dribbling out of New Haven train by train.
But every Class does these things, or something equally silly,
at its Triennial, and it is only later on when two or three are
gathered together around the festive board, that all the innu-
merable little "do-you-remembers" take shape in the fog, and
make our own so far superior to any Triennial which has ever
been, or ever will be.
Some of us went to New London and saw the races. I do not
think I am taking too much on myself when I say here that
the Class extends its hearty sympathy and appreciation for his
efforts to a brave Yale man who, put in the boat to fight a great
fight, and attacked by a sudden malady, still fought on until his
world became black and he*fainted revived, picked up his oar
and fought again until a power greater than his own forced him
to yield. Yale is proud of that sort of fight, and we are part
of Yale.
Nor can I close without thanking our Triennial Committee.
We can have no idea of the work connected with that office, and
yet, so far as I know, there was not a hitch from beginning to
end. We got our costumes when we went for them, and they
fitted. We marched to the ball game on time, and our seats
were there for us. We had a good banquet, well-served, and
ready when the committee said it would be ready. The fire-
SOME FEATURES OF TRIENNIAL 9
works were there, and plenty of them, and it wasn't even the
committee's fault that the band struck, or that we lost the beer
wagon.
Three years have come and nearly gone! When Sexennial
comes, let us gather again, as strong as before, forgetting caste
and clique. Forget that you were this and he was that, remem-
bering only that we are all classmates and Yale men. Out of a
true Yale democracy let us build for ourselves a Yale fence and
gather around it with hearts still full of the love of Yale and
of 1905 S.
THE NEW YORK CLASS DINNERS
THE FIRST DINNER
Six months had scarcely elapsed after our Senior Class dinner,
when someone suggested that it was time to again call the faith-
ful together for a little evening.
Budge Martin, having made such a success as chairman of the
Class Dinner Committee, was naturally turned to for a sug-
gestion. The result was that on March 24, 1906, thirty-nine
good fellows sat down at the Yale Club to the first New York
dinner. Of good cheer there was a plenty, and the singing!
After one had been wrestling with the high cost of living for
a weary six months, what a pleasure it was to be able to give
vent freely to one's feelings!
Waddy Day filled the toastmaster's chair and with his ready
good humor, prevailed upon various of the talent present to
unburden themselves. Dick Whittier and Brick Defrees among
others told of our past glories and urged us to further greatness.
Jack Munson offered a long-distance cup for the next dinner,
nobody barred.
The dinner was voted a great success and Martin and Barber
were appointed a committee to arrange for a dinner in 1907.
Those present were:
Bailey Defrees Mixter
Baldwin Frank Munson
Barber Gray Olds
Bates Harvey Oliver
Chapin Henney Perkins

THE SECOND DINNER
April 13, 1907, saw another goodly crowd of thirty-nine meet
again at the festive board at the Yale Club. Unfortunately, some
of the Class who had been with us the year before were forced
to forego that pleasure by pressure of business and domestic
duties, but the faithful were on hand, some of them after a con-
siderable journey, and so the number remained the same as at
the first dinner.
The dinner was good, as usual, and plentifully interspersed
with good harmony. After having been properly primed the
company was called to order by our worthy president and toast-
master, Dick Whittier.
Roy Whitney, Joe Washington and Bill Barber were called
upon to respond to toasts, and Jack Munson showed much ora-
torical ability in a forceful appeal for class unity.
Joe Washington and Mike Sears were found to be jointly
entitled to the long-distance cup, both having come from Schenec-
tady and being roommates there, it was finally discovered that
Joe's (or was it Mike's?) bed was on the south side of their room
and the cup was awarded to him. The diners then adjourned to
1 the grill room where close harmony was indulged in until shop
was closed.

THE THIRD DINNER
On March 28, 1908, the third annual dinner was held at the
Yale Club. This year, owing, no doubt, to the fact that Triennial
was coming on, the attendance fell to twenty-seven.
Lowell Clucas acted as toastmaster and kept things moving.
Joe Simmons, as chairman of the Triennial Committee, told of
the plans which had been made for a big time and we all know
how he made good. The most acute tried to worm out of Joe
what the costume was to be, but the half-shells had nothing on
him for closeness.
T. E. Johnston was again on hand from Wilmington, Del., and,
while no cup was presented, Johnny certainly deserved one for
this was the third time he had made the trip to be at the annual
dinner.
Everyone had an opportunity to talk and sing and great plans
were hatched for Triennial. "

DINNER OMITTED IN 1909
The next year, 1909, the committee, after consulting with var-
ious members of the Class, decided not to hold a dinner. This
decision was reached after a canvass which showed that only a
small number of the Class were available and it was thought
best to wait a year and get a big gathering in 1910. The writer
personally is in favor of holding a dinner every year, and believes
that it is well worth while, even though but a handful can be
present. These dinners not only tend toward Class unity and
good-fellowship, but annually renew our interest in, and devotion
to our alma mater.
THE NEW YORK DINNERS 13
THE DINNER IN 1910
On Saturday evening, February 19, 1910, the Class again
gathered, twenty-five strong, and made up in enthusiasm what
it lacked in numbers. Dick Whittier presided and urged upon
the Class the necessity of turning out to the annual dinner.
Every man promised to be present in 1911, and to try to bring
a classmate.
Bill Barber reported progress on the Five-year Record of the
Class, telling some of his troubles in collecting data.
Roy Whitney's arrival, snow-covered, from Syracuse was a
feature of the evening.
Brown's trio of colored entertainers made things hum, and
at closing time, Dolly Gray had not succeeded in finding "K-e-
double-1-y."
The evening wound up with much close harmony and every-
body voted it a big time.

He prepared at the Hartford Public High School, Hartford, Conn., and

Allison is forest examiner in the United States Forest Service,
and concerning his carter he says : "Immediately after grad-
uating from Sheff I went to Milford, Pa., to join the 1907 Forest
School class in their summer term work. In September, 1905,
I returned to New Haven and joined the Forest School Class
of 1906 with which I graduated the following June. The only
notable events between September, 1905, and July I, 1906, were
my trips to Maine to make my lumbering report, during three
weeks of which I lived with a lot of dirty 'Canucks' in a
northern Maine logging camp, and the spring term of the For-
est School held at Waterville, N. H., in the southern part of the
White Mountains. There during the latter part of April and the
first week of May, we encountered much snow which left vivid
remembrances because of the cold feet and cold shivers it gave
me. On July 2, 1906, I entered the United States Forest Service,
20 BIOGRAPHIES
and soon afterwards was ordered to Arizona. I remained there
from July 16, 1906, to November 18, 1907, doing regular forest
assistant work, marking and estimating timber and fussing
around timber sales, leaving this so-called mountain only once,
for two weeks during December, 1906, for a visit to southern
California. Between December i, 1907, and April i, 1908, I was
stationed in Washington, doing timber sale office work. On April
i, 1908, I was ordered back to Arizona to join a cruising and
mapping party to cruise the timbered area within the old Grand
Canyon and San Francisco National Forests and also part
of the old Black Mesa, all now included in the Coconino National
Forest. The total timbered area to be covered is considerably
over 1,000,000 acres. On the first of July, 1908, I took charge
of the party and had under me six 'cruisers,' a cook. and a
camp rustler. During the summer and fall of 1908 and a con-
siderable part of 1909, I was in charge of a field party engaged
in mapping and cruising the Coconino National Forest and
in preparing working plans for that forest and the Tusayan
National Forest which was created out of the Coconino in 1910.
The Coconino working plan is soon to be published as a Forest
Service bulletin. Since then I have been engaged in general
inspection work in connection with the work of the parties now
cruising and mapping the national forests of Arizona, New
Mexico and Arkansas."

wrote : "On leaving New Haven in 1905 I went to Canada where
I spent the summer with my family. I had intended going to
California in the fall and had obtained a position in a gold mine
at Sutter Creek, but at the last minute I changed my mind and
went to work for a firm of landscape architects and engineers
in New York, and put in a year surveying and doing construc-

went to Mexico and got a job as draftsman with a party of

a line through the state of Sonora from Nacozari, south to
Guaymas. After three years knocking around Mexico I returned

Club, Schenectady, N. Y. Concerning his career since leaving
Yale he says : "The most commendable act of mine was a three
months' loaf after graduation. On September 18, 1905, I joined
Swatz, Swenarton, Joe Washington, and Lon Knollmeyer at the
General Electric Company test. Later Kasey Ogden, Mike Sears,
Ed Callahan and Jack Clancey.blew in. I soaked my skin in oil,
grease and carbon dust, to say nothing of limburger cheese, that
mysteriously occurred in jumper pockets and other inconvenient
places. It's over three years since I absorbed any of these things
and they are still oozing out of my pores. We had some very
delicate little jokes to beguile away our few leisure hours, such as
burning oil soaked waste within a few inches of some sleeper's
nose, or white-leading his shoes, or running an air hose up his
pants leg and then turning on the full 150 pounds pressure. This
was fine when the shop temperature was zero or lower. One
of the regular stunts was thawing out our milk or coffee at
midnight lunch. Among the less popular but well-patronized
pastimes were hauling cables, sandpapering carbon brushes,
pulling waterbox rope, etc. Such work, however, was only while
we were being broken in, and it wasn't long before we eight
from '05 S. had some of our juniors 'Hunyacking' for us, in
fact in about a year and a half four of the number were assistant
foremen. Swatz fell by the wayside to accept a better job.
For various reasons Kasey, Mike and Jack Clancey left the com-
pany. I believe the rest are still afflicted with its employment.
I was fortunate in escaping hard work by having a job as assist-
ant foreman 'hove' at me, later followed by job of 'Head of
Section.' Ed Callahan came on as day foreman of the same
section and we enjoyed working with each other for some time.
In September, 1907, I was transferred to the power and mining
engineering department, and in December, 1907, to the estimat-
ing department of the New York office. In December, 1908,
I was sent to the New Haven office. This was pure luck and
I think I've struck a permanent berth.
"Good fortune and plenty of work has been the rule. 1905 S.
men of my profession were just well enough along to escape
being pinched in the panic of 1907. I have always been asso-
ciated with Yale and Harvard men and this has been one of
OF GRADUATES 27
the most pleasant features. Two Yale men, one Cornell man,
one Columbia man and one Worcester Polytechnic man are work-
ing with me now. The only breaks in the routine of the work
have been occasional trips to the Schenectady works of the com-
pany, where Callahan of our Class still holds forth. My parti-
cularly close friend at Schenectady is R. F. Emerson, '06 S.,
whom I've just helped to get married."

he says: "After graduating I returned to take a post-graduate
course in mining and in addition acted as assistant in the Fresh-
man Chemical Laboratory and also in the Hammond Mining
Laboratory. While here I may state that this latter building is
one of the best and it will be a great addition to Sheff.
"Leaving in June, 1906, I went to Manhattan, Nev., to accept
a position with The Tonopah Exploration Company, and
remained here until November. The climate here is delightful
and the people congenial. Men from nearly every college are in
and about Tonopah and Goldfield. Columbia, Stanford and
Berkeley men predominate but there were plenty of Easterners
especially among the older men. There is little or no amusement
OF GRADUATES 37
except gambling outside of Tonopah and Goldfield, and little
enough there. However, both these towns have good clubs and
these make up for the lack in great measure.
"After leaving the Tonopah Ex, from which I was transferred
to another company, my time until last May was spent in out-
lying camps. Here hunting was fairly good and in the canyons,
or at least some, trout abound.
"Leaving Nevada in June, 1907, I went to Iron River, Mich.,
and remained there until December, when I came East. In
March, 1908, I became clerk in the Insurance Fidelity & Cas-

Money gave out. Came to Seattle with the 'Mucker' in the
middle of December, 1906. Didn't get a job although I tried
hard for one. Consequently I went home and got married Feb-
ruary, 1907. Job was easy to get on return to Seattle. Since
then have occupied the following positions : Secretary and treas-
urer of the North American Investment Company ; secretary and
treasurer of Russell & Dickinson, Inc. ; treasurer of the Union
Fish & Packet Co. ; trustee Elliott Bay Iron Works ; auditor

had an extremely happy and satisfactory life since coming out
here, and I expect to stay indefinitely. Have lost almost as much
money as I have made since getting here exclusive of living
expenses. Our son was born on August 8, 1908, and on account

train.
"In the fall of 1906 I went to the Fort Wayne Electric Works,

Seeing that there was not much of a future in that line I cut
out and came to St. Louis, where I hoped to get a position with

when I asked for a fifty per cent, raise. They offered twenty-
five per cent, and I left. I was determined to try boat build-
ing, which business paid my way through Yale, so went home,
built an addition on my old shop and started again. I did
well throughout the summer, but as things grew slow in the
fall I procured a position with the O. K. Tool Holder Com-

machinery. This work I completed about February i, 1907, and

time I put up several buildings and a variety of other work,
having during that time about 175 men. Hard times then dashed
all my chances to the ground, and as the company shut down all
construction work I was laid off. I decided to try boating again,
and went with Palmer Brothers of Cos Cob, Conn., traveling
for them to California and through the Eastern states until
August i, 1908, when I proceeded to build for them a new
machine shop of reinforced concrete. I finished this and left
the concern on January i, 1909, and went to boat building for
myself at which I was doing fine until about the middle of

returned to Palmer Brothers for the summer. On September i,

engineer with them. This work was completed on January i,

Born February 21, 1884, at Chatfield, Minn., the son of George Henry
Haven, born at Tyson Furnace, Windsor County, Vt, a banker of Chat-
field, Minn., and Annah Gilbert (Johnson) Haven, born at Deer River,
Lewis County, N. Y.
He prepared at the Chatfield High School, Chatfield, and at Carleton

year, where he took the Select Course, was a member of Book and
Bond, was secretary of the Sheff Y. M. C. A., and was a candidate for
special honors in history and social science.
He is unmarried.
Haven is cashier of the First State Bank of Chatfield, where
he has been since October i, 1905. Politically he is a Republican,
is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and secretary of the
Board of Education of Chatfield, Minn. Concerning his life
since leaving Yale he says : "Haven't had a very exciting career
since graduation. Have been pretty closely confined to the bank-
ing business and like it very much. Have managed to put in
an interesting two or three weeks each summer Vacating/
In the summer of 1906 I went up into the northwest corner of
North Dakota, and enjoyed a taste of frontier life on the plains
with some long horseback rides and walks over the prairies.
"In the summer of 1907 I had quite a novel and very interest-
ing trip through the mountains of eastern Kentucky. I took a
Mississippi River boat down to St. Louis as a means of getting
a little absolute rest and after getting over to Louisville and
south on the L. & N. to a typical old town called London, I
began the more strenuous part of the trip. With a darky driver
who was yawning during most of the trip except when he hap-
pened to be snoring, I covered some sixty miles of the roughest
road I ever saw, and by about ten o'clock the second morning,
I reached a town called Hyden, the county seat of Leslie County,
it is alleged, because it is the only place in the county where
there is level ground enough to build a courthouse. The moun-
taineers are very interesting and quite different from people in
any other part of the country because they have lived by them-
selves for so long. We have all heard of the mountain whites
OF GRADUATES 65
and one gets from reading that they are all of them about half
civilized. That is a fallacy, for while there are many of them
who live in hovels in an almost barbarous condition way up in
the fastnesses of the mountains, those who live in towns, who
have been out in the world, and been educated, are fully
up to the par of any of us. I spent four days in Hyden, and
then began to wend my way on over the mountains behind two
mules in a 'jump wagon' it's no wonder that the mountaineers
indulge in a draught of 'road smoother' occasionally, or oftener.
"That hundred miles and more across the Kentucky moun-
tains was one of the most delightful journeys I ever made, not
because of the comfort and luxury of the trip, but because of
the strangeness of the customs, the glorious scenery, and the
spirit of restfulness that pervades all. I went through the
famous feud district but didn't get into a row, nor did I get
too thirsty and find myself in the clutch of the law for 'moon-
shining,' so I arrived home again none the worse for my trip,
and with much food for pleasant recollections. If any strenu-
ous and careworn 1905 S/ers want a novel and restful vacation
trip, let them spend it in the Kentucky mountains.
"My 1908 vacation I spent back in New Haven, having the best
kind of a time with Taft, 1905 S. and Yale."

he says : "In the fall of 1905 I decided that the world was indeed
my oyster and that the best place to open the said bivalve was
New York City. I accordingly put on my old gray bonnet with
the blue ribbons on it and set forth. Deciding that a knowl-
edge of law would in all probability be of especial value in a
city of the character of New York I entered the New York Law
School, and in the course of two years had graduated from that
institution. I had in the meanwhile been connected with a large
office in the city thus combining theory with practice.
"New York was at first a little slow in recognizing the splendid
new talent at their disposal, but in the course of a year or so
became more responsive. Having received an invitation to take
up the practice with my uncle, Judge William F. Henney, of
Hartford, Conn., I am inclined to accept that opportunity as I
believe it to be. It is probable, therefore, that after November
i, 1910, I will be located in Hartford, Conn. I hope to veni,
vidi, and also vici"

Scottish Rite Masons, Golf and Country clubs, Hyperion Club,
Des Moines Club, Grant Club, Commercial Club, and the Iowa
Yale Club. Concerning- his life since graduation he says : "After
graduation, having fitted myself for a civil engineer, I imme-
diately put my knowledge gained by three years' 'hard work/
into practical use by going into the sand business. It certainly
requires a 'civil engineer' to keep at the sand business. The
scheme was to pump sand out of the Racoon River, load it on
cars and sell the same to the unsuspecting public. After three
months erecting a plant I withdrew my superintendency long
enough to be married and take a wedding trip of six weeks
through the Canadian mountains. When I returned affairs at
the plant were at a standstill we hadn't pumped a grain. But
I wasn't discouraged. By using a sharp pencil I figured that
after the plant was remodeled it would be possible to make a
little 'easy money.' While my spirits were soaring over this
delightful prospect, a smooth, well-dressed individual approached
me with some 'blue sky' to sell, which he called stock in a cor-
poration to manufacture carbureters and radiators. Blue sky
always looked good to me so I invested not only money (much
against my father's advice) but also time and some of my ami-

able disposition all of which went under a cloud never to come
out again. By spring the sand plant was ready for operation
just in time for high water to wash out a few hundred feet of
my track and grade, so it wasn't until July, just a year after
the plant was started, that it really was in shape to run. In
October, 1906, a little girl was born to us. I think she was the
first child in our Class. After managing the sand business for
two years I employed a man to assume the duties of manager.
Since then I have been associated with my father in real estate
and have recently been promoted to the exalted rank of office
boy, with hopes for something better."

a good many vacations ; anyway I have had them. In Septem-

lasted until the following December, when I entered the real
estate business in the upper part of New York City. I was to
receive a certain interest in the profits, but as none materialized
up to July i, 1907, I took another vacation. This one was more
like those of college days and lasted until October, 1907, when
I secured a very pleasant position with a suburban real estate
firm. My duties were to travel through the country finding
farms or meadows which could be bought for a little money,
fixed up into lots and sold for a good profit. I found these
lands but my firm did not like the money market panic which
came on then, and therefore I had another vacation. I had
secured some business experience, and, tiring of vacations, I
secured in March, 1908, my present position in the bond house
of White, Weld & Co., where there are a number of graduates
of other colleges, all congenial fellows.
"Meantime all my vacations enabled me to see the big football
games in New Haven, some of the baseball games, a boat race
or two, and best of all to attend the Trie/mial reunion of 1905 S.

Company at East Pittsburg, living in Wilkinsburg with Harry
Abbe and Sam Mills of our Class. After spending a year there
with no especial incident other than hard work, was sent to
Montreal, Canada, on about four hours' notice. Packed a grip
with a summer suit and enough paraphernalia for the ten-day

trip that I anticipated^ and stayed five months into the coldest
winter experienced in that locality for over thirty years. How-
ever, after I became acclimated, had a very pleasant time, as with
skating, toboganning and snowshoeing it is an ideal place to
spend the winter. From there my travels led me through a good
part of Canada, as far west as Winnipeg, where I was some-
what disappointed in not meeting the polar bears running, about
the streets. I then returned to the States, for the other tempera-
ture extreme, going to North Carolina. Eventually got back to
the Smoky City, changing from construction work to the engin-
eering department, and have been settled there for over a year
and would be mighty glad to meet any of the boys that find their
way to this part of the country."

Church and the Masonic Blue Lodge, and says concerning his
life since graduation: "To comply with the request for a full
and connected description of my life since leaving Yale involves
little effort on my part since no eloquence is required, however
earnestly I might seek an opportunity for employing such. In
fact I do not need a superlative unless it be to describe the even-
ness of my life. Our committee deplores modesty. The truth,
for which I have great respect, forces me to be modest. After
leaving college I headed for Superior, Wis., where I worked as
civil engineer for a few months until an opportunity presented
OF GRADUATES 79
itself to go 'cruising' in the woods of northern Minnesota.
After experiencing various hardships incident to cedar windfalls,
starvation rations and fruitless searches for quarter posts that
never were, I went to work in a planing mill at Cloquet, Minn.,
where the lumber is dressed for the market. Here I handled a
great deal of the 'rough green' (but precious little of the long
green) and wondered if there were really as many hours in the
days I spent at old Yale. I was then engaged in work in con-
nection with the sales department of the Northern Lumber Com-
pany. This position I left in October, 1909, to take up my
present occupation."

He is unmarried.
Kineon is superintendent of the New York & Long Island
Traction Company and of the Long Island Electric Railway
Company, and is a member of the Episcopal Church. Concern-
ing his recent life he says: "After graduation I decided to go
farther west than Ohio to gather up some of the filthy lucre
which I understood was there. Held a position of meter tester
with the General Electric Company for six months, and not see-
ing anything which looked good to me there, I came East.
Started with the Long Island Railroad, in electrical department,
where I remained one year and then obtained my present position.
"The most striking experience which I have had was my
initiation into single track operation. About ten days after my
8o BIOGRAPHIES
location in Hempstead, a friend (who was manager of a rail-
road in the West) came to see me and I decided to show him
over the road. We went through the different substations and
were on our way towards Brooklyn, running special to a second
section, when suddenly a car appeared around a curve on same
track but operating in the opposite direction. The motorman
appeared to be paralyzed with fright and made no attempt to
stop his car so I rushed to vestibule to assist him, but just as
I reached the former, the two cars came together with an awful
crash. After pushing the wreckage off my body and withdraw-
ing my head from a door which my cranium had punctured, I
assisted the passengers from the other car and then lifted my
motorman out of wreck. Poor fellow had both legs cut off
below knees and died shortly afterwards. My friend for whom
all this celebration took place was not to be found high or low,
but had disappeared. About two weeks later I received a letter
from him stating that he believed he preferred Western opera-
tion to our methods here."

pany of Cleveland, Ohio. Concerning his life since leaving col-
OF GRADUATES 81
lege he writes : "When I graduated in June, 1905, my parents,
to 'complete my education,' took me for an automobile trip through
Europe. Since I took a Select Course at Sheff my father thought
the trip would answer the purpose of a post-graduate course.
Having taken also a special course in athletics, and in order to
fit me to meet all the hardships in after life (bachelor dinners,
marriage, pushing trucks about, etc.), he gave me the care of the
White steamer in which we traveled. Well, I don't know exactly
whether the trip 'completed my education' or not, but I do
know that I increased my vocabulary (both in French and
English) to a great degree, thanks to the lack of steam lubricat-
ing oil in France, four blow-outs and seven punctures in one
day, a broken crank shaft, and a few other such trivial things.
I also believe that I got hardened enough to withstand the knocks
of future life.
''Upon returning to the States in the fall (without an accent)
I coached the Indians, and in January, 1906, went into garage
work and the manufacturing of autos at Huntington, Long
Island. In the fall of 1907, when the panic struck Wall Street,
we closed up. After a little coaching in the fall and then a trip
to the South in January, 1908, I sailed for Porto Rico, where I
worked on a plantation for a year. This seemed to improve
my poor health greatly.
"I then returned to the States, and after picking up a wife in
Texas, started in the selling end of the automobile business in
Cleveland, my former home. First, in February, 1909, I joined
the Buick Company and got a glimpse of the car business, and
then in July shifted to the Studebaker Company. In February,
1910, I was offered the position of sales manager of this territory
for the Garford Truck, which I accepted. I have been at it ever
since and expect to continue until my fortune is made."

member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. He
writes : "The 2^th of July, 1905, marked the beginning of my
professional career when I boarded the car at my home in Albany
for the General Electric Company in Schenectady. For four long
and weary months until December 3 I made bad designs for
alternating current machinery in the General Electric drafting
room. All this time my one desire and hope was to join my
classmates in the 'Test' (testing department). At last my
prayers were answered and I struggled through a winter of zero
weather working at night doing my best to make the public
think that the machinery which passed through my hands came
up to requirements.
"That was pretty bad, but it was child's play compared to test-
ing steam turbines, which fairly enveloped one in red-hot steam,
when the thermometer stood at 93 degrees. This was the work
'cut out' for the summer of 1906. When I had become quite
parboiled I left Schenectady for the New York Edison Company.
On the twentieth of November the engineer of power of that
company took me under his wing. By this time I was getting
into the work I liked best commercial engineering. After spend-
ing over a year dodging across crowded, noisy streets and diving
down into crowded, noisy subways I accepted a position with
an electrical contracting firm in quiet old Albany on December 9,
1907. Here I remained until March i, 1908, when I took my
present position with the Albany Municipal Gas Company.

me greatly, and much of the time I was free to do as I liked.

thinking- I was having a good time. College closed June i, 1906,
and I put in the time between then and October i on the south
shore of Long" Island, chiefly at Westhampton.
"The college course of 1906-07 also was easy aside from the
operative work. This year in my spare time I was of some assist-
ance to my father and also put in considerable time on the con-
struction of a violin truely a very absorbing hobby. With the
exception of a few close friends I mingled but little with the
outer world and spent a much more satisfactory year than the
one before. The summer of 1907 I spent at East Quogue, Long
Island. The course during the college year of 1907-08 required
all my attention both in the theory and practice.
"In January, 1906, I joined the Seventh Regiment, N. G. N. Y.,
and have nev,er regretted doing so ; I will have completed five
years of service on January i, 1911. On May 25, 1908, I took
my degree in dentistry. My state examination conflicted with
the Triennial dates so that Sunday and Monday were all that I
had in New Haven.
"Since my graduation I have been practicing dentistry and am
not only satisfied with my choice of a profession but feel sure
that I chose one to which I was particularly adapted. So far
I have escaped the sting of the 'Love Bug.' ' :

there was a busy summer for me working on the farm which
my father then owned near Cornwall-on-Hudson, N. Y. But
in September times changed. We moved to New York City and
it was then that Cy suddenly realized that a job was a very
necessary article. Nothing looked good enough at first but
finally the Otis Elevator Company offered a trial as an appren-
tice in the Yonkers factory with the stupendous salary of nineteen
and one-half cents per hour. My breath came fast wondering
what could be done with all that money, but finally decided to
take a chance and all that was coming my way. That first year
was a dream as I was usually half asleep owing to arising at
five-thirty A. M. 'to punch the clock' at seven A. M. Of course
some fellows would have made up the sleep at the beginning of
the night, but how to live in New York and go to bed early is
a problem I was never able to solve.
"Well, finally in November, 1906, the chance came to go to the
branch office in Washington. How I did hate to leave New York !
Thought it was the only place on earth, but found that living
in the shadow of the Capitol was not half bad. For both business
and social purposes Washington is there every minute. I can
only say that the two years there were among the best ever."

Permanent address 3525 Harrison Boulevard, Kansas City, Mo.
Born October 27, 1884, at Kansas City, Mo., the son of Mortimer R.
Platt of Kansas City, born in Otsego County, N. Y., and Beverly (Helm)
Platt, born in Bowling Green, Ky. He has four brothers: John H.
Platt, Beverly C. Platt, Mortimer R. Platt, Jr., and Virgil N. Platt.
He prepared at the Central High School, Kansas City, Mo., and entered

OF GRADUATES 105
He was vice president of the Kansas City Club and a member of the cup
committee.
He is unmarried.
Platt is resident engineer of the Kansas City Terminal Rail-
way Company, Kansas City, Mo. He is a member of the Metho-
dist Church, and of the Kansas City Athletic Club. He writes:
"When I finally got home after Commencement I started looking
for a job, but rather hoping I wouldn't find one too soon, as
another fellow and I had a camping trip all framed up. I got a
place as rodman on a surveying party on the Kansas City South-
ern Railroad, and started south. It certainly was hot. I used to
dream about Hugh Reynolds' back room. I stayed with the
Kansas City Southern Railroad until the following spring, and
then quit and was going to work for another road in Louisiana
but came home for a few days and was taken sick with typhoid
fever. I got a place in the summer of 1906 with the Kansas
City Terminal Railway and have been there ever since, long
enough to be one of the oldest heads on the job. This is a com-
pany owned by twelve of the railroads entering Kansas City, and
is to build a new passenger station and have a belt line around
town and freight terminals. (Don't forget to mention we are
going to have the finest station in the world.) I was out West
last summer and looked up a couple of my roommates but they
were up in the mountains and I missed them. As I was coming
home I met Klett in Salt Lake City. Sleep Thomas has been in
town since last fall working for the government engineers and
he and I have a Class reunion all by ourselves now and then.
Ever since our Triennial I have been looking forward to the
Sexennial and hope we will all be there."

Manufacturing Company, and of Ellen Laura (Jones) Plimpton, born
September 24, 1856, at Orient, L. L, N. Y., Mme. Draper's French Semi-
nary, '75, a resident of Hartford, Conn., previous to her marriage.
He prepared at the Hartford Public High School, and took the Elec-
trical Engineering Course at Sheff, where he was a member of Sigma
Xi, and received the first prize in Freshman physics, first prize in electrical
engineering, the Loomis Fellowship in physics by competition, and was
recommended for general two-year honors.
He is unmarried.
Concerning his recent life Plimpton writes: "After graduat-
ing- from Sheff I remained one year with the University as
Loomis Fellow. In September, 1909, I joined the students' course
at the Stanley Electric Works, in Pittsfield, builders of nearly
every kind of electrical machinery. Before the summer follow-
ing, the Stanley company was absorbed by the General Electric
Company and compelled to specialize in transformer work. This
called for the new testing equipment now completed and the
largest in existence. I acted as assistant to the designer of this
plant. In making the changes, owing to the complexity of wir-
ing, great danger to employees was unavoidable, and I was fre-
quently given responsibility where many lives were involved.
Partly because of this perhaps, but mainly because of irregular
hours night and day I became temporarily incapacitated for work.
After a few months on leave of absence, I went on the road as
salesman of insulating materials. My territory included Con-
necticut which permitted me to visit Yale frequently, and here I
again contracted the 'research fever.' Always kindly disposed
toward one so afflicted, our Professor Bumstead, now director
of Sloane Laboratory, offered me an assistantship which I have
held since September, 1909. I am studying for a doctor's degree
in physics."

estate. He is a member of the Presbyterian Church and of the
Lawn Tennis and Polo clubs and several carnival organizations
of New Orleans County, 'also of the Yale Club of New York
and the Point Judith Polo Club of Narragansett Pier, R. I. He
writes : " Since my graduation I have acted as financial manager
of the Estate of John P. Richardson, in which I am largely inter-
ested. Our interests are real estate, timber lands and cotton and
rice plantations, located in Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and
Texas.
"For the past year I have spent most of my time on our planta-
tions in North Louisiana where I installed a large pumping plant
and built a canal system for irrigation purposes, the results of
J8 BIOGRAPHIES
which were very successful ; I shall extend my canal system in
1911 so as to irrigate a much larger acreage area.
"While I consider New Orleans my home, I spend the greater
part of the autumn and spring on our plantations, and I have a
country home on my Epps estate, near Delhi, La., where we have
about 11,000 acres of land. The hunting in this section is con-
sidered by many trie finest in the South; in fact ex-president
Roosevelt shot his bear only two miles from our eastern bound-
ary. I give most of my spare time, however, to motoring and
polo. I have managed to get East for a month each year, and
am planning to take my vacation next June so that I can thor-
oughly enjoy my Sexennial reunion."
In a previous letter Richardson gave this interesting descrip-
tion of his Southern metropolis : "One of the most pleasant
events since I left college was when it was my privilege to enter-
tain the Yale Glee Club in my own home, during their brief stay,
Christmas of 1907.
"New Orleans is the gateway of the South and Middle West
and, with the exception of New York, the largest port in the
United States. Last fall I was a delegate to the 'Lakes to the
Gulf, Deep Waterways' convention in Memphis, and I believe
with the completion of the Panama Canal and with the improve-
ment planned for the Mississippi and its tributaries in this con-
vention, that New Orleans will yet rival New York as a port.
New Orleans then will be the gateway of Western South
America. A hearty welcome awaits any of my classmates who
should chance to look me up in the Southern metropolis."

He is unmarried.
Schaeffer is assistant foreman in the engineering and press
departments of the Waterbury Parrel Foundry & Machine Co.,
and concerning his recent life he writes : "After scouring around
for a job (with $3,000 a year in mind) I landed at the Water-
bury Parrel Foundry & Machine Co., where I started in the
machine shop at fourteen cents per hour. After working here
faithfully one and one-half years, I was made assistant foreman
of the department which has about one hundred men. Here I
stayed until I had been in the machine shop four years. Although
I had a fairly good position the work seemed monotonous and so
I took a month's rest after which Mr. Candee, '96 S., the chief
draftsman of the press department, asked me to go in with him
which I did. I started in again from the bottom in the drawing
department and after fourteen months' work became his assist-
ant. It looks now after five years' wait as though I might be
in line for my $3,000 dream. Our manager, treasurer and
secretary are also Yale men. Some of the fellows have been tell-
ing me I'm not natural for marrying the concern rather than
a nice rich young lady. My folks removed to this city from
Seymour, Conn., in 1907. We are all well located here and
happy.
"In 1908 I began teaching drawing in the evening High School
and this has since become additional winter occupation. Beyond
this my chief recreation is playing the old fiddle. I am president
of the Amphion Musical Club, and manager and director of
Nosahogan Orchestra which is connected with the Odd Fellows
lodge here. In this I am very much interested as I have become
largely acquainted with business men and a good sociable lot
of fellows. Our lodge could do justice to a university club, since
there are a great number of .university men in it, Yale predom-
inating. I'm about to be taken into another fraternal organiza-
tion, the name of which I'm not at liberty to state as yet. Most

O. K. Oliver Hooker, '06 S., we sent off on a honeymoon a short
time ago and with Billy Secor, '06 S., whose kidneys wouldn't
let him graduate with us, and Farmer Gordon, '05 S. and Zene
Candee, '96 S., we had quite a jolly retinue of Yale men around
the shop. These are practically the only men I get in touch with
more than once a year around here. 'Has anybody here seen
Sanford.' If they have I'd like to know where he is. We were
supposed to keep up correspondence after graduation and he did
write the first letter but that was all I could pull out of him.
In my opinion I think '05 S. Class should make the annual Class
supper a real attractive very informal reunion. '05 S. should be
a society in itself, a dependable aid to old Yale and an incentive
to all grads as a standard to pattern after. Unfortunately I've
not been financially equipped to take in many things pertaining
to Yale up to now, but will endeavor to do my part in the future.
By making our Class suppers an affair which will be looked for
yearly we can get the fellow who has lived in obscurity and see
what ails our classmates. 'Here's to good old Yale !' '

in Japan, China, Straits Settlements, Burma, India, Ceylon,
Egypt and Italy. I arrived in New York the day of San Fran-

looking for some business opening. Finding none, I returned
home and started in the real estate and building business. Have
specialized on residence construction, building good residences to
sell. I am still at it and from present indications will continue
in the same line. I might add that one of the greatest pleasures
of the trip around the world was the almost constant meeting
with Yale men of my Class, and 1904 Academic and Sheff. On
March 4, 1909, I was married to Miss Beth Campbell and went
to Japan on our wedding trip. We spent ten most enjoyable
weeks in Japan, taking in all the beautiful spring flower festivals
and having many weird and some uncomfortable experiences in
Japanese inns away off in the interior where a foreigner was a
distinct novelty.

He prepared at the Morgan School, Clinton, Conn., and entered Sheff

Spencer is a member of the Baptist Church, Clinton, and of
the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. He writes :
"The five and a half years since graduation have dealt not
unkindly with me and brought me back through various vicissi-
tudes to the old City of Elms. Soon after graduation I embarked
on the demonstration car 'Columbia' of the American Palace Car
Company, exhibiting a new system of disposing of sleeping car
126 BIOGRAPHIES
berths in the daytime, and covered a great deal of ground, liter-
ally at least, during the first few months of my graduate 'career.'
In this way most of the largest cities in the eastern and middle
western section of the United States and Canada were visited
under very agreeable conditions, and many representatives of
railroads interviewed with some success. The late fall of 1905
found me in Toronto, Canada, which at that time was a center
of excitement and speculation, over the rich silver deposits
recently discovered in Cobalt, Ontario. Becoming interested in
these peculiar cobalt-silver deposits which often yielded small
fortunes in a few months, and the meteoric rise of their stocks,
I became connected with the Unlisted Securities, Ltd., of Toronto,
handling Cobalt stocks, and eventually was made president of the
company. During a trip to Cobalt in the spring of 1906 I became
financially interested in a 'prospect' of promise, and a company
was formed to develop the property which fortunately proved
to be a 'mine,' and by December things were looking so well
that we were able to dispose of it advantageously to an Eastern
syndicate. The following spring my other interests were dis-
posed of and the following summer found us in little old
New England for a vacation and a good time. The next year
and three-quarters were spent quietly in Clinton, Conn. The
arrival of the Class Boy put an end to idle drifting, and
new responsibilities impelled the unreluctant daddie to hit the
'Unblazed Trail.' Through the good offices of the Yale Club
Committee on Business Information I became acquainted with
the Kolynos Company of New Haven, several of whose officers
and shareholders are graduates of Yale. Kolynos is a dentifrice
and mouth antiseptic, whose antiseptic value was first made
known through experiments in the Shefr" Laboratory by Prof.
Leo F. Rettger. It looked so good to me that I 'signed on' at
once, and began to get acquainted with the ''bottom round' of
the business. The past year and a half have been ones of rapid
advancement for Kolynos, in which I tagged placidly along until
the 'bottom round' has happily become a useful reminiscence. I
still hold the Class record for minimum avoirdupois, no other
contestant (?) in the Class, apparently, having been able to train
down to my weight. Undoubtedly the Boy is my best contribu-

diately after graduation, I left for Harrisburg, Pa., to go to
work for J. N. Bastress & Co., engineers and contractors. The
pay was slight and the hours were long, but I was in the business.
I wanted building construction, and I soon learned to call a
column, a 'col-yum/ and cornice, 'cornish,' and that ordinarily
they don't stand bricks on their ends when they lay them in a
wall. I fell in with two other 'civils' of the Class of 1905, one
from Delaware State College and the other from the University
of Pennsylvania. We formed a trio that cheerfully borrowed
each other's clothes and money (when we had any), and did
up as much of the town as we were allowed. One day Fritzi
Shea of the glorious Class of '05 S., wandered into town, and
we formed a 'Big Four' that lasted nearly a year. In the last
part of May, I was given a vacation, and when I got home, the
attractions proved too much for me, so I resigned my job and
struck in with a Worcester firm of contractors, the J. W. Bishop
Company, on the first of June, 1906, putting in the foundations
for a big mill in Woonsocket, R. I. But they let me stay there
only two months and then shifted me to Fair Haven, N. J., which,
although it was quite a distance from Worcester was near enough
to New York to allow me to spend a goodly number of Saturday
nights in the big village. This job was a long one of thirteen
months and it was very interesting carving up the Jersey land-
scape to make a big country estate. But when it was done, in
September, 1907, I was shifted to Clinton, Mass., where we put
up a big mill for the Bigelow Carpet Company, working there
till the last of April, 1908. My firm was shy of work then and
I was turned adrift, but I was able to get into the wire rope
department of the W r right Wire Company in Palmer, where I
had charge of the testing room and later for a short while their
Boston warehouse. The last of July, 1908, I got a position with
the Central Building Company of Worcester.
"In February, 1909, I was promoted from outside construction
(on the Sessions House in Bristol, Conn.) to the home office in
the estimating department, where I still am, holding down the
position of assistant to the chief estimator.

Born September 13, 1882, at Hartford, Conn., the son of James N.
Waite, who was a contractor with the Pope Mfg. Co., born at Trow-
bridge, England, died October 31, 1905, at Hartford, Conn., and Maria
Bevan Waite, born at Trowbridge, England, died at Hartford, Conn.,
May 23, 1902. He has four brothers : Albert J. Waite, William E. Waite,

He is unmarried.
Waite is a Republican in politics, is a member of the South
Baptist Church of Hartford and belongs to the Society of Pithi-
tomists of the Johns Hopkins Medical School. Concerning his
life since graduation he says: "I spent the summer of 1905 in
Hartford, occasionally enjoying automobile trips to nearby cities
and to towns on the shore of Long Island Sound. In October,
1905, I entered upon a four year course in medicine at Johns
Hopkins Medical School. From the day our Class entered we
were impressed by the fact that we were in a graduate school.
The methods of instruction differ in many ways from those at
Yale and 'college life' and 'class spirit/ though present, are
less prominent features. Our first two years were devoted to
purely scientific subjects. Our practical work began with the
third year, and we then had a chance to put into practice what

facts we had absorbed since the beginning of our first year in
college. I spent the summers of 1906 and 1907 in Hartford,
assisting my brother in his practice as much as my knowledge of
the subject would permit, though I believe I did spend part of the
summer of 1906 at York Harbor, Me. During the summer of
1907 I served on the staff of the Hartford Hospital for five or six
weeks, and spent a week enjoying a trip on Long Island Sound
in a power boat.
"I completed my course at the Johns Hopkins Medical School,
graduating in June, 1909, with the degree of doctor of medicine.
From September, 1909, until August, 1910, I acted as assistant
to Dr. James Bordley, Jr., of Baltimore, Md., and during this
period served as clinical assistant in the South Baltimore Eye,
Ear and Throat Charity Hospital. In August, 1910, I returned
to Hartford, Conn., and am now associated with my brother, Dr.
Frank L. Waite, in the practice of medicine."

"After leaving Yale and spending a three months' vacation in
the country, I obtained employment during September and Octo-
ber, 1905, in the Massachusetts State Forest Service, in the capa-
city of a student assistant. I resigned from this position in
November, 1905, and went to Parkton, Md., as temporary assist-
ant to classmate Howard F. Weiss, who at that time was in
charge of a cooperative project between the United States Forest
Service and the American Telegraph & Telephone Co. experi-

quite a varied experience.

quarters at Cody, Wyo. This covered the period from July 12,
1907, to October i, 1908. I found the experience on the Sho-

shone valuable in that it afforded a good opportunity to get
broken into Western ways. Most of the work given me there
differed but little from that of the rangers and by living and
working with them I gradually discarded some 'tenderfoot' ideas,
learned something of the Western code, and how to get along
comfortably in the mountains. On October i, 1908, I was trans-
ferred from Cody, Wyo., to Kalispell, Mont., to take up timber
sale work on the Blackfoot National Forest. The first six
months on the Blackfoot was spent in the woods, at a logging
camp of the Eureka Lumber Company, which had purchased
twenty-seven million feet, B. M., of timber from the Government.
At the end of this time I was called away from the sale, and
for the next three months was engaged principally in surveying
and reporting claims applied for under the Forest Homestead
Act of June n, 1906. On July i, 1909, I was given my third
transfer, this being from Kalispell to Thompson Falls, Mont.,
where I was assigned to boundary work on the Cabinet Forest.
I put in three months on the Cabinet, examining 160 miles of
boundary along the Thompson River Valley during that time.
I was then ordered to return to Kalispell. After my recall from
the Cabinet I was forest assistant again on the Blackfoot for six
months, then on April i, 1910, was called to the district office
at Missoula and detailed to the Deerlodge National Forest to do
yield table and reconnaissance work. I am still on the Deerlodge

myself by graduating I retired to the Adirondack Mountains to
recuperate. By September 15, 1905, my brain was sufficiently
resuscitated to allow me to take a trip with my family. On this
trip we inspected a lead and zinc mine in the northeast corner
of Indian Territory. The tract of land is known as the Quapaw
Reservation, the mine being four miles from Baxter Springs,
Kan., which temperance town is located about twenty-five miles
from Joplin, Mo., which is not by any means a temperance
town.
"After seeing only the 'prospects' of what promised to be a
great deposit of treasure, I decided to go to work for the
Quivira Lead & Zinc Co. I started in about November I, 1905,
and learned the art of pushing a scoop shovel and running a
steam drill. I was promoted to superintendent sometime in
March, 1906, but the treasure still secluded itself. I came East
the early part of June, 1906, and after our engagement was
announced we attended the boat races, and then visited in the
Adirondacks. The funds of Quivira (the lost golden city of
South America) had given out, so I did not return to the mines.
I secured a job with the M. W. Kellogg Company in August
and went to work in the shops September i, 1906. We were
married September 8, 1906, and after a short trip we took up
our abode in Jersey City. I worked in the shops trying to learn
the business until May I, 1908, I was then transferred to the
New York office and put on the selling end of the business.
During this time we lived in Jersey City till February, 1907, then

large amount of work developing hydro-electric plants in North
and South Carolina. After working with them through 1907,
I returned to New .Haven and received my C.E. degree. For a
thesis I wrote a paper on 'The Design of Masonry Dams.'
Since then I have remained continuously with the Southern
Power Company, excepting the time during the late panic when
with most of the other forces I was laid off for a while. Since
August, 1909, I have been stationed near Blacksburg, S. C., where
the Southern Power Company has just completed a thirty thou-

various times (dates not remembered) I have been on river sur-
veys with reference to water power development and sites for
dams. I have located pole and tower transmission lines in many
parjts of North and South Carolina. In short I have done engi-
neering from laying sewer pipes to rigging gin poles. Enough
for the work line.
"As to my travels I have not been around much. From New

know this country pretty well. There is a lot of country I

"As I look back on the first few weeks after leaving Yale, I
thank my stars that they are over, and hope never again to see
four such weeks. It was a sad fact that the 'fullness' of my
head could not take my mind off the emptiness of my purse.
And the worst of all was that, although I realized that some-
how there must be a way for helping the emptiness of my purse
by the 'fullness' of my head, still I did not know how to go
about it.
"It was the fourth of August, 1905, that I started checking in
a ninth story room on Fifth Avenue, New York City. Being a
novice, the strain of constant computing wrought such an effect
that I got out of it as quick as I could.
"The fourteenth of September, 1905, I saw the sun rise on
the mountains surrounding Lake Placid, New York, and what
a change from a close room in a big city to the open air and
scenery in the heart of the Adirondacks ! There I spent the next
three months surveying for a sewer line through the woods to
a hotel. Cold weather necessitating 'closing shop,' January 8,
1906, found me among the marshes of Cape May, working for
a real estate company. Those who have had 'fishermen's luck'

get on the highways department, as the work is pleasanter and
more adapted to develop a man's self-confidence. By that time
I am anticipating my appointment as 'assistant engineer,' a
position for which I have passed the civil service examinations
since last June.
"For the benefit of other engineers desirous of entering the
state service, I may say it is not hard, and open to all citizens
of the United States. The salary is high, measured by the work
a man does, and low, considering the work that he is supposed
to be able to do. True, there are disadvantages : one does not
know whether the next morning's mail will not bring an order
for him to report to another city or village but there are advan-
tages: an assurance of easy work and steady employment.
Although having been two years in the state service, I have never
yet met a civil service Yale man in the employ of the state of
New York."

not having become a millionaire, I went with the American

cans in our settlement. In January, 1908, the hard times struck
our place and I decided to come out by mule instead of part mule
and part stage. I started with two mozos, two pack mules and
a saddle animal with a week's supply of camp goods. The first
day out we struck blinding snow at an altitude of 8,000 feet and
it was very cold. We camped out two nights, riding all day
over the range in snow, on the second day reaching 9,200 feet
and on the third day out dropping into warm country again, after
which we had three days of hot, dusty riding over narrow trails.
Finally on the morning of the seventh day we reached Minaca.
I went into Chihuahua and south to Torreon, Coahuila, stopping
at several mining camps along the way; then came north to
Denver, Colo., went up to Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek and
Boulder, stopping at Pueblo on my way to Denver, and then
came East.

August 25, 1906, in company with Spencer Turner, '06, I started
on a long, hot, dirty journey to a place called Tallassee, Ala.,
to experiment in the art of breathing cotton fibres and also drink-
ing muddy water (dry town otherwise) and incidentally to learn
the business of the manufacture of cotton duck. Soon after our
arrival we had a third companion, namely, Discouragement, from
whom we were only saved by a full sense of humor kicked to
life at all hours by watching each other in such wild acts as
attempts to piece up ends on a spinning frame while being shown
the correct method to approach the thing by a small girl we were
surprised to find had even learned to talk. After this the point
seemed to be to try us with extremes of temperature, for after
all of the Southern mills we found ourselves in the coldest of
January in Manchester, N. H. We were then sent to a series of
places until learning or disgust bore too heavily on us and
Spencer Turner surrendered to the call of New York a small
town I have heard him speak of, which he always regretted
exceedingly he "could not take along with him. He has since
been in the selling end while I have continued in the manufactur-
ing part of the business. About October, 1908, I was put in

charge of the Druid Mills of Baltimore, Md., with consequent
jar on my feelings of a cold, dark, five A. M. awakening for six

OLD AND NEW IN SHEFF BUILDINGS
MISCELLANY
THE HISTORY OF SHEFF SINCE 1905
BY CLIFFORD W. BATES
(With a statement of undergraduate changes added by the Chairman of
the Sheff Student Council of this year.)
The most notable changes in Sheff since 1905 are those in
appearance, and these shall be considered first. There has been
one large addition in the way of dormitories ; another Sheff-
Vanderbilt The Vanderbilt-Scientific II, as it is officially called
has been built between Byers Hall and St. Anthony's Hall. It is
a building of the same general appearance as the first, but is
only about half as large. Architecturally it is said to be the
most beautiful of the Yale buildings. The dormitory facilities
have also been increased by the purchase of several houses on
Grove Street. Nearly the whole block bounded by College,
Grove, Temple and Wall streets is now owned by the Scientific
School.
Hammond Mining Laboratory, which was started before we
were graduated, has, of course, been finished, and has been used
for several years. The congestion of recitations in North Shef-
field Hall has been very much relieved by the erection of Leet
Oliver Memorial Hall, which was given by Mrs. James B. Oliver
of Pittsburg, in memory of her son who was killed in an auto-
mobile accident while an undergraduate. It was given to be
used for the Select Course subjects (in which course Oliver was
.studying) and the languages. It is located on Hillhouse Avenue
between the Biological Laboratory and the railroad cut.
Two new buildings to be used by Sheff are being erected:
Sloane Physics Laboratory and Mason Mechanical Engineering
Laboratory. The Mason Laboratory is being built between
St. Mary's Church and the railroad cut, fronting on Hillhouse
Avenue and running through to Temple Street. About a quar-
ter of a million dollars was given for the building, equipment
19 MISCELLANY
and endowment of the building by Messrs. George G. Mason
and William S. Mason of the Class of 1888 S. The departments
of Physics in Sheff and in the College and the Graduate School
will use jointly one large laboratory for advanced physics, the
Sloane Physics Laboratory, that is being built in Pierson-Sage
Square (the Hillhouse estate), the price of the land having been
given the University last winter by Mrs. Russell Sage. This
property comprises nearly the whole of the tract of land bounded
by Whitney Avenue, Sachem, Prospect and Edwards streets.
The laboratory is being erected about half way between Sachem
Street and Edwards Street and on the side toward Prospect
Street. There are also plans for the erection of a University
Laboratory of Zoology on the Pierson-Sage Square.
ADDITIONS TO THE FACULTY
Important changes in the Faculty have been rather few. Pro-
fessor C. B. Richards left two years ago and was succeeded by
Professor L. P. Breckenridge, '81 S., who formerly taught at
the University of Illinois, a brilliant engineer and a strong man
personally. Professor Ross Harrison, a recently appointed
University Professor of Comparative Anatomy, has most of his
work in Sheff, and his influence is felt there very strongly.
Professor J. F. McClelland has this year been made Professor
of Mining Engineering. In the Select Course there have been
changes of which I think the most important is the addition of
Professor W. C. Abbott as Professor of History.
NUMERICAL GROWTH
Perhaps the most striking change in Sheff in the last five
years has been in regard to the number of students. For several
years the entering classes have averaged about 400, of whom
about 250 receive their diplomas with the class in which they
enter. The graduate students in Sheff number about 175 against
about 100 when we were undergraduates. In general the
increase has been about 70 per cent, in all classes and in the
Faculty as well. The Faculty increase has been confined almost
entirely to the instructors and assistants.

without some consideration of its educational policy. Whether
it is to be regarded more as cause or effect, it is impossible to
say, but the fact is obvious that the three-year course is a
dominating influence in the Sheff teaching policy. Having only
three years in which to teach the equivalent of four years' work
in other colleges means one of two things: the course must be
shortened by omission or the men must work harder to make up
for the lost time. Here at Sheff the result is, I think, a mean
between the two alternatives. The course is shortened by the
omission of a great deal of laboratory and shop work. (I am
considering more especially the engineering courses, with which
I am most familiar.) It has always been an open question
whether a man needs a great deal along that line, and I think
that Sheff is answering that question in the negative as her
graduates go out into the professional world and come into
competition with men from other colleges where the shop work
is taught and they make good. I have in mind several cases of
men in our own Class who have men working under them who
graduated several years before our classmates. Now why is it
that they can "make good"? It is just because the Sheff gradu-
ate has been taught "why" and has not had his time taken
up with a mass of detail telling him "how." The Sheff man
is taught the fundamentals of his profession, the idea being that
it will be easy for him to pick up the details of his specialty
afterward if he has the root or foundation thoroughly in his
mind. In addition to the above idea, it has also been the aim
of the School to give in some degree a liberal education.
CHANGES IN UNDERGRADUATE CONDITIONS
The two most important changes that have taken place in the
last few years in the undergraduate life at Sheff are first, the
formation of the Student Council, and second, the change in the
society system.
The Student Council, organized last year, is composed of fif-
teen men, one from each of the seven societies, seven non-society
I9 2 MISCELLANY
men and the president of the Sheff Y. M. C. A. A glance at
some of the important results obtained by the Council shows
that it has really accomplished a great deal in the first two years
of its existence. The Governing Board of the School has
accepted its recommendation with reference to excusing high
stand men from examinations ; a new course of lectures, inter-
esting and instructive, has been secured for the Freshmen ; the
Council has been instrumental in having the approximate grades
put on report cards ; the Council adopted a new method for the
election of class officers, vice presidents of athletic associations
and all other officers and committees except Commencement com-
mittees. Under this new system the names of the candidates for
all offices are listed at the polls in view of the voters during the
primaries; the two men receiving the highest number of votes
at the primaries are voted on in the evening at the finals and
the one receiving the largest number of votes at the finals is
elected. A mass of minor matters has been handled by the
Council, such as getting slight changes made in recitation and
examination schedules, promoting concerts on the Sheff campus
and helping men in individual cases. Cordial relations have been
established with the Yale Daily News. The News is and always
has been primarily an Academic institution, and not knowing
our problems and conditions, they cannot write of us intelligently
or sympathetically, let their intentions be as good as they may.
It is the policy of the News now to consult the chairman of the
Council when Sheff questions are involved.
The new society system had its first try-out this year. The
idea in this system is that there shall be no Freshman campaign-
ing until the first day of the winter term, and that the societies
shall not give to nor accept from the members of the Freshman
Class any form of entertainment except in the society houses
and then only at the time of the receptions in the winter term.
The new system has not worked to the satisfaction of all, this
fall, and there is a pretty general feeling that, if ultimately suc-
cessful, certain conditions, present during this first year, will
have to be altered. Public opinion and custom may in years to
come effect what arbitrary rules fail at first to accomplish.
ALUMNI CLASS FUNDS 193
THE ALUMNI FUND
By LOWELL M. CLUCAS
The growth and progress of the Yale Alumni University Fund
since its inception, just twenty years ago, has been a constant
and ever-increasing source of gratification to the founders and
everyone interested in the financial up-building of Yale ; in fact,
the figures, as shown below, are nothing short of wonderful. In
1891 the number of contributors was 385 and the amount con-
tributed $11,015.08. From this start, the annual increase in both
number of subscribers and amounts subscribed has been one of
steady and healthy growth, until for the year ending June 30,
1910, the figures showed:
Total number of Yale graduate contributors for year 1909-10, 3,027.
Total amount contributed for year 1909-10, $143,750.48.
The Class of 1905 S. has grown from 23 subscribers and
$99.00 subscribed in 1906, to 35 subscribers and $229.00 given
in 1910; but as 1907 and 1908 were our banner years, we show
a grand total of $997.50, an average of practically $200.00 a year.
The Alumni University Fund was established in 1890 to endea-
vor to meet an ever-increasing annual deficit in the finances of
the University, and differs from other University funds in the
fact that its management is in the hands of nine graduates
appointed by the President of the University and approved by
the Corporation. The Treasurer of the University serves as
treasurer. The amounts received each year are appropriated in
two ways : first for general University expenses, as for example,
in meeting a deficit of any department, in increasing professors'
salaries, etc., but without distinction as to department ; secondly,
for addition to the principal of the Fund. For the year 1910,
the net receipts, as above stated, were $143,7^0.48. This was
divided as follows : for general University purposes, $49,000.00 ;
to be added to principal, $94,750.48. This brings the total prin-
cipal of the Fund, as of July I, 1910, up to $450,403.87. The
total amount of contributions, exclusive of that added to prin-
194 MISCELLANY
cipal, that has been appropriated as income for University run-
ning expenses, has been $330,763.18.
Contributions to the Fund are made generally through the
Class Agents, appointed at graduation to collect from the Class,
but there is an increasing tendency among graduates, as the pur-
poses for which the Fund was founded are becoming more gen-
erally known, to make special donations, either to principal or
for income; this is done at reunion times, by will, and in other
ways, and is especially desirable, inasmuch as most of the gifts
to the University heretofore have been designated for a par-
ticular purpose and therefore not applicable to general expenses.
Briefly, the Alumni Fund has become indispensable to the Uni-
versity and as the vast body of graduates come to know its ideals
and purposes, the yearly income should swell until a large major-
ity have become regular yearly subscribers, who will come to
consider it not a duty, but a privilege, to be a member of such a
worthy body.

STATISTICS
STATISTICS
On the following- pages are some brief statistical tabulations
of facts recorded in the biographies. Graduate members only
are included in the vital and occupation statistics while in the
locality index, prepared not so much for statistical use as for
handy reference, both graduates and so far as addresses are
known non-graduates as well are included. In the vital and occu-
pation tables care has been taken to list the itemized facts under
individual names so making it possible for future tabulators
to build intelligently on these facts and also making it possible
to rectify any errors in the compilation. The tabulations include
facts so far as reported up to December i, 1910.
MARRIAGE STATISTICS
OF GRADUATE MEMBERS ONLY
In the following table are given the names of those graduate
members of the Class of 1905 S. who on December i, 1910, were
reported to be married ; the date of their marriage, their approxi-
mate age at marriage, and the number of sons and daughters
reported born to each up to the same date. When the sex of
a child is not known the count has been put under the "boys"
column and enclosed in parenthesis.
It will be noted that out of a class of 165 graduate members,
58 or more than one-third were married at five and one-half
years after graduation. To these 58 Benedicts have been born
12 sons and, mirabile dictu! 19 daughters; while two children,
with sex unreported, bring the total children of the Class on
December i, 1910, to 33.

OCCUPATION STATISTICS
OF GRADUATE MEMBERS ONLY
In the following paragraphs under each occupation are listed
the men now engaged in it (the deceased men are listed in
the occupations in which they were engaged at the time of their
death). The names of men are enclosed in parenthesis under
an occupation in which they were previously engaged or in which
they are engaged in an auxiliary manner. These names in paren-
thesis are not counted in the totals. The occupation divisions
are standard except that a special classification is used here
called "mercantile scientific" for those men who are engaged in
mercantile firms in a scientific or technical capacity. The names
of the individual members are followed by the abbreviated name
of the course they took in Sheff, the following abbreviations
being used : for the Select Course, Sel; . for Civil Engineering,
C E; for Mechanical Engineering, M E; for Mining Engineer-
ing, Mn E; for Electrical Engineering, E E; for Chemistry,
Chem; for Forestry, For; for Mining and Metallurgy, Met.
At the end of the occupation paragraphs is printed a table
showing the number of men from each undergraduate course
that are now engaged in each of the various occupations.

The above table, showing the number of men from each under-
graduate course that have gone into the various occupations, has
been made up on the same plan as similar tables in the '99 S.
Decennial Record and a table comprising the first twenty Sheff
classes published in the Record of the Classes from '68 S. to
'72 S. The table is interesting in itself and also in comparison
with the similar tables of other classes.
204 STATISTICS
A marked tendency for Sheff graduates to go into other than
engineering or other scientific work is shown by all these tables.
In 1905 S. only 36 men, or less than 22 per cent, of the Class,
have gone into engineering, and only 24 more into work of even
a partially scientific character, included in the table under the
heading "Mercantile Scientific," that is, scientific or technical
employment in a mercantile concern.
Those who took the Select Course have avoided scientific
careers as carefully as they avoided scientific studies as under-
graduates is shown by this and the similar tables in other classes.
In general the students of the Select and Biological courses
seemed to choose their courses with some reference to their after
careers ; those taking the courses in Engineering, Metallurgy,
Chemistry and Forestry in general show less connection between
their undergraduate courses and their present occupations.
It is worthy of note that no graduate of 1905 S. has gone into
the ministry nor yet into pure science.
LOCALITY INDEX
INCLUDING BOTH GRADUATES AND NON-GRADUATES
In the following table the states and cities within states are
arranged in alphabetical order, and the addresses are chosen
with a view to giving the most accessible one in each individual
case, rather than consistently to give either business or residence
address. A tabulation of the number of men in each state fol-
lows this index. Cross reference from this index to the "Roll
of the Class" following should prove a most convenient means of
discovering classmates in any given section of the country.
