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.

Treat has been in business with his father in Lawrence, sell-
ing manufacturers' supplies. He speaks with great delight of
various excursions into the woods of Maine, long pulls on the
48
rivers in a canoe of his own construction ; and those of his
classmates in this neighborhood know, that, whenever a rare
old book is in the market, Treat scents it afar. He has made
a collection of more than two hundred volumes of antiquated
literature. In 1869, he spent about five months in England,

*JOHN HENRY TUCKER, son of Ebenezer and Eliza
Bradly (Foster) Tucker, was born in Cambridge, February 19,
1835. In 1849, Tucker entered the Cambridge High School,
and in May, 1850, joined the Old-Cambridge Baptist Church.
In 185 1, his father wished him to learn a trade, and he was
apprenticed to his brother, a carriage-painter ; the drudgery
of a beginner was distasteful to him, but he determined to
be contented ; and, when he came of age, he was at once
offered a good situation, so satisfactory was his workmanship.
In 1855, he became a member of the Mechanic Apprentices'
Library Association ; and so well did he profit by the literary
advantages here offered, that, at the end of nine months, he
was chosen to deliver the address on the thirty-sixth anniver-
sary of that society, which he did on the 22d of February,
1856, in the Meionaon. This address was printed. The next
July, he commenced his studies for a college course ; at first
by himself, but finally at the Cambridge High School.

Tucker was killed at the attack on Port Hudson, Miss,,
May 27, 1863, at the age of twenty-eight. Devoting himself
to the study of theology, and to the ministry of the Baptist
Church, which he joined thirteen years before, he felt that his
country needed him in a service in every way opposed to his
tastes, but in one where he might yet do good ; he joined the
38th Massachusetts regiment as a private, and fell among the
first in the attack.
His brother, George T. Tucker, was with him in the regi-
ment, and died a few months after of wounds received in bat-
tle. Their bodies were brought home by the Irving Literary
Association, and the Rev. C. W. Anable preached a funeral
discourse on May 8, 1864, which has been printed.
