•    1872. 


Classmates,  —  Your  Secretary  presents,  in  accordance  with  the  vote 
of  the  class,  such  information  as  he  has  been  able  to  gather  of  your  vari- 
ous histories  and  experiences  during  the  past  five  years.  In  many  cases 
it  is  meagre,  but  efforts  have  not  been  sjaared  to  make  it  complete. 

Ten  years  have  passed  away  since  our  graduation,  and  changes  have 
come  over  the  class  of  1862  as  over  our  University.  In  the  latter  the 
changes  are  apparent  enough,  as  we  thread  our  way  through  the  piles  of 
brick  and  mortar  which  cumber  the  once  beautiful  yard,  and  which  have 
even  covered  the  Delta  ;  but  in  the  class  the  changes  are  not  so  visible 
on  the  pages  of  this  Report.  Death  has  been  in  our  midst,  and  Davis, 
Hickling,  and  Ellis  have  left  us.  While  the  pages  of  this  Report  are  being 
gathered,  the  tidings  come  from  a  distant  land  that  Ensign,  too,  is  dead. 

The  meetings  each  year  at  Commencement  have  been  well  attended. 
Five  of  our  number  have  been  instructors  in  Harvard ;  one  is  now 
Professor. 

For  the  mistakes  and  omissions  in  this  Report  the  Secretary  begs  the 

indulgence  of  the  class,  and  trusts  that  during  the  next  year  they  will  at 

least  inform  him  of  their  addresses. 

WM.  T.  BRIGHAM.

July  15,  1863.  Brother  Washburn  presided.  The  death  of  classmates 
Henry  Ropes,  John  Henry  Tucker,  and  Samuel  Cushman  Haven  was 
announced,  and  suitable  resolutions  were  adopted.  (See  first  Report.) 
It  was  voted  that  the  first  Class  Dinner  take  place  three  years  from  this 
date. 

N^ovembcr  9,  1863.  The  death  of  classmates  Charles  Carroll  Balch 
and  Joseph  Perrin  Burrage  was  announced,  and  appropriate  resolutions 
passed.     (See  first  Report.) 

July  20,  1864.  Holwortliy  4.  Brother  H.  M.  Rogers  presided.  In 
the  absence  of  the  secretary.  Brother  Hedge  acted  as  secretary ^r^  tern. 
The  death  of  classmate  Goodwin  Atkins  Stone  was  announced,  and  broth- 
ers Washburn,  Hudson,  and  McCarthy  were  appointed  to  prepare  resolu- 
tions. The  same  committee  were  authorized  to  prepare  and  publish  res- 
olutions in  behalf  of  the  Class,  in  case  they  find  satisfactory  proof  of  the 
death  of  classmate  Arthur  Cortlandt  Parker.  On  motion  of  Brother  Pay- 
son,  a  collection  was  taken  up  to  defray  the  expenses  of  this  and  the  last 
meeting.  Brother  Hedge  offered  for  consideration  the  subject  of  having 
the  general  statistics  of  the  Class  published  every  three  or  five  years  in  a 
simple  and  inexpensive  form,  for  the  benefit  of  the  members  ;  and  on  mo- 
tion of  Brother  Washburn,  tlie  secretary  was  authorized  to  prepare  and 
publish  such  statistics  triennially,  beginning  in  1865,  should  he  then  deem 
it  expedient.  From  the  collection  all  expenses  were  paid,  and  a  small 
sum  added  to  the  Class  fund. 

July  19,  1865.  Hoi  worthy  6.  Brother  T.  L.  Chadbourne  presided. 
The  secretary/;-^  te7n.  stated  that  the  publication  of  the  triennial  report 
had  been  postponed,  and  on  motion  of  Brother  Green,  the  whole  matter 
was  left  to  the  discretion  of  the  secretary.  Brother  Hedge  reported  that 
the  death  of  brother  Arthur  C.  Parker  was  not  confirmed  and  considered 
certain  by  his  family  until  late  in  the  spring,  and  that  the  notice  of  his 
death  had  been  deferred  to  the  present  meeting  to  be  acted  upon  with 
those  of  brothers  John  Hodges,  Edward  Carson  Bowman,  George  Edwin 
Chapman,  and  James  Ingersoll  Grafton,  who  had  been  called  from  us 
during  the  past  year.    The  chairman  was  authorized  to  appoint  a  committee 


63 

of  two  for  each  of  these  deceased  members,  to  draw  up  suitable  resolu- 
tions in  behalf  of  the  Class,  which  should  be  transmitted  by  the  secretary 
to  their  respective  families.  The  birth  of  the  "  Class  baby,"  Maturin 
Rowland  Ballou,  March  13,  1865,  was  announced,  and  the  secretary  stated 
that  the  Class  cradle  had  been  duly  presented.  The  secretary  thanked 
the  Class  for  their  generous  response  to  his  appeal  for  a  Class  subscription 
of  one  thousand  dollars  towards  the  Alumni  Hall  Fund,  and  stated  that 
he  needed  but  two  hundred  dollars  to  complete  the  amount.  As  it  was 
understood  that  arrangements  had  been  made  for  a  Class  dinner  this  year 
instead  of  next,  the  vote  passed  in  1863  was  rescinded,  and  the  meeting 
adjourned  to  the  Parker  House,  at  6  o'clock,  p.  M. 

The  report  of  the  secretary  of  the  first  Class  supper  is  here  inserted. 
The  first  supper  of  the  class  since  graduation  was  held  at  the  Parker 
House,  July  19,  1865.  In  the  absence  of  the  Class  secretary  and  the  act- 
ing secretary,  brother  H.  M.  Rogers  presided.  About  thirty  members  were 
present.  Brothers  Blake,  Chadbourne,  and  others  spoke,  and  the  thanks 
of  the  Class  were  presented  to  the  acting  secretary.  All  passed  off  very 
happily,  and  all  present  seemed  to  hope  that  the  Class  supper  would  bt- 
come  a  permanent  institution. 

July  18,  1866.  Holworthy  5.  Brother  Hedge  was  called  to  the  chair, 
and  after  thanking  the  Class  for  the  many  pleasures  which  he  had  derived 
from  his  connection  with  them  as  their  Secretary  during  the  past  three 
years,  announced  the  return  of  brother  Brigham  from  the  East,  who  was 
enthusiastically  welcomed  by  all  present.  On  motion  of  brother  Wash- 
burn, the  thanks  of  the  Class  were  presented  to  the  Secretary  pro  tan., 
for  the  faithful  manner  in  which  he  had  discharged  his  duties.  Brother 
Hedge  stated  that  the  Class  had  been  the  first  to  pay  in  the  full  subscrip- 
tion to  the  Alumni  Hall  Fund.  It  was  voted  that  the  Secretary  be  re- 
quested to  prepare  our  first  Class  Report,  to  be  ready  for  distribution  at 
Commencement  1867,  the  expense  to  be  defrayed  out  of  the  Class  Fund. 
On  a  vote  to  fill  the  vacancy  on  the  Class  Committee,  brothers  H.  M. 
Rogers  and  Payson  received  fourteen  and  ten  votes  respectively,  and  the 
former  was  declared  elected.  The  matter  of  the  Class  Fund  was  dis- 
cussed, and  the  committee  authorized  to  solicit  subscriptions  to  increase 
it.     It  was  voted  to  hold  the  next  Class  Supper  in  1867.

thority to  invest  Class  funds  and  be  responsible  therefor.  Thirty-five
