FIFTEEN YEARS AFTER
A mingled compilation of Class gossip, gentle twitting of old pals
with their various frailties and inside talks "from the heart out."
Designed as a "Who's Who in '94" and to recall old memories and
the days when most of us knew little law and abided by less; when
ailments were few and our only medicine that which is to this day
prescribed for indispositions following Class reunions ; when our
Reverends were "Sandy" and "Hop" and "Army" and "Jim," and
our Profs, were "Charley" and "Doggy" and "Irish" ; the days when
touch-downs, base-hits and exams., in the order named, were as
important as the pay-day of the present.
The product of tears, cajolery, threats, many harsh thoughts and
much travail, all entailing the loss of a once really sweet disposition.
A labor of affection for '94.
For any sins of omission or of commission, for the Record's lack
of system and for the few strained efforts to be jocose, no criticism
could be more fitted than that advanced by the compiler's good
friend, F. Peter Dunne (Mr. Dooley) : "Jack Wilkins is like a
young grasshopper. He's got a helluva lot of agility but a deplorable
lack of direction."
That's all. ^ J. F. W.

sylvania.
He writes : "I am doing the same old thing — hammering away at
the old practice and telling disappointed and defeated clients that
their sad plight came about by reason of the prejudice of the jury
and the ignorance and incapability of the court. As to other informa-
tion asked for, the longer I live the more I am convinced that 'born,
lived and died' makes up the great life of man."
Philadelphia is a lonely city for a stranger, so Tom keeps an
anchor to windward in the shape of a membership in the Princeton
Club, wherein at divers times he maketh merry and forgetteth ye
Blackstone.

company at this time. There is quite a difference between my job
and the life of a gentleman tourist. Will try to be with you in June

r 25 Berkeley Ave., Orange, N. J.

Alexander Benson
pr 2107 Wahiut St., Philadelphia, Pa. ^^'^^ *^a /¥-r
b Land Title Building; Philadelphia, Pa. *^<^"*^'E«- ^7> *
"Benny" was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1898, having
received his LL.B. from the University of Pennsylvania the same
year. He is as popular as ever in his home city, where his chief
occupation, however, seems to be the answering of invitations to
dinners, dances and other miscellaneous functions.
The following is from one of the Record's special correspondents :
"Alex, has a very attractive bungalow in New Jersey two or three
miles back in the pines from a station called New Egypt, which
station you approach from Philadelphia by milk trains and various
jerk- water railroads. The trains consist of one combination pas-
senger and baggage car and apparently carry more ducks, geese, eggs
and other country produce than they do passengers. Benny's place
is very prettily situated on the banks of a little lake about three to
six hundred yards wide and three miles long. He seems to have
become imbued with the bucolic atmosphere, as he has acquired
twelve hens, ten roosters, five drakes, six ducks, three ganders and
three geese, also a thoroughly quiet and respectable family horse, a
wagon which I believe is called a surrey, and a lame dog. He pro-
vides comfortable beds and excellent elementary refreshments, also
a visitors' book, in which he demands that each guest shall inscribe
his name. This guest book has stamped upon the cover the name of
the place, which is "The Bride's Trap". One of the girls saw the
name when she went to write in the book and suggested that the bait
was a little stale. Owing to the fact that Alex, is about the age of
most of the class, they will be grieved to hear that he felt himself
old enough to really resent the imputation. He will give you a very
good time if you go down, and I advise the class to treat it as class
property and enjoy it with Alex. I regret that I cannot sign my
name to this sketch, but I am afraid that I might not be asked down
again."
Benny is a member of the University and Princeton Clubs of New
York and of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia.

Our old fullback is interested in developing and promoting western
mines. He was at Princeton during the last football season coaching

cinnati, publishers of sheet music and music books. He says : 'T am
actively engaged in writing music under various noms de plume and
meeting with success in every line. My male choruses are sung by

b National Board Fire Underwriters, 135 William St., New York.
Bogart has been in the employ of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters since July ist, 1904, with headquarters in New York
City. "Dick" has no particular habitat, his work as an engineer
taking him all over the United States. His particular duties are the
investigation of the water supply of the various cities from the fire
protection standpoint and the submitting of reports upon conflagra-
tion hazards and the adequateness of fire fighting facilities.
Dick is with a corps of engineers representing the Committee on
16
>
Fire Prevention of the National Board, traveling from city to city,
his last places of duty being Cincinnati, Louisville and Memphis.
In his travels he carries with him a copy of the Decennial Record and
in this way has been able to locate many of the class who have found
it impossible to come regularly to reunions. He writes that he ran
across McLeish in Cincinnati and found the Doctor's hair has turned
very gray. As Mac. is unmarried, Dick says that he can't account
for it.

Thomas Hamilton Bowes

"Tom" is with the Mono Power Company of Bishop, Cal, engaged
in bottling up all of the stray water power in his neighborhood.
Prior to his present work he was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with
Norton, Megraw and Company.
Later : Tom seems to have hit the trail once more. The Record's -\ ^
last letter was returned by the postmaster indorsed "Not with Mono
Power Co." The California address was secured by Meredith in
Baltimore and Ed. Hammett confirmed it.
Under date of April 26th a member of Tom's family (100 Beech-
dale Road, Roland Park, Baltimore, Md.) wrote the Record as fol-
lows: "At present we do not know Tom's address. His last letter
stated that he was going to another mining station and we have not
heard from him for a long time."
Frank Howard Braislin
p P. O. Box 3, Crosswicks, N. J.
BraisHn is in the commission business in Crosswicks, New Jersey.
After a number of unsuccessful appeals the Record had about given
him up. However, on the day of going to press, word was received
from him with the following excuse, which, in his expressed wish
17
to get in personal touch with the Class rather than through another,
shows an affection for old '94 that earns the Record's pardon
instanter.
"If this letter of mine is not in time, don't bother about it. I
couldn't help it. My typewriter was without ink, for anything ap-
proaching legibility, for a long time, until within a day or so, as the
first that I could get it really, and this is its first job. And this was
one letter that, well, incidentally, I'd rather write myself, than com-
pile to dictation, to another to write. Why? Well I don't know.
But because it is. Writing is one's self. Dictation is through
another. If that gives point, there you have it."
He says further in his letter: "All that I can say for myself is
that for several years I have been trying, under handicap and diffi-
culties, circumstantial and otherwise, to do the only thing that has
seemed feasible at all, as situated, and maybe not that, a sort of
commission business, poor enough, but hitherto holding together and
hoping toward possibilities, other or better. The school in which I
was last teaching was discontinued. Operation has thus shifted.
"On many accounts I should Hke to be at the meet in June, but
it's doubtful and even more so, I fear. With best wishes to the
Class and members, collectively and individually, and for the re-
union, and sustained blessings thereafter indissoluble of dint or
wear, of worth and time, believe me, in cordiality and reminiscent
genuineness ..."

practically one hundred years in Reading and throughout the coal
regions of Pennsylvania, and is rated A i with a capital of over
three quarters of a million.
Brightie writes that "the Dutch are hard to beat", but the fact
that he owns an automobile and always give liberally for Class pur-
poses would seem to indicate that, when he strikes his annual bal-
ance, the Dutch haven't had any the best of it.
Bright is "an absolutely confirmed bachelor unless something
unusually attractive turns up."
He is a member of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia.

still better in store for me. Living in Easton, the home of Lafay-

day with me."

James Maclin Brodnax

From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, Oct. 15, 1904.
"In the death of James Maclin Brodnax, which occurred on the
22nd day of July, 1904, the Class of 1894 lost a well beloved member
and Princeton a worthy son. His life in college stood for all that
was honorable and uplifting. His enthusiastic work as president
of his Class in Junior year, in doing so much toward establish-
ing the Honor System in conducting examinations is but one illus-
tration of the trend of his life. Deeply reHgious in his nature,
active in all undergraduate religious work, outspoken and fearless
in his dealings with others, generous, genial, sympathetic, and pos-
sessed of a broad tolerance which always kept him in close touch
with all his classmates, he exerted from the beginning to the end of
his college course a powerful influence for good. His plans for his
life-work in the ministry were sadly marred by continual ill health,
resulting in an early ending to a most promising career. Each
member of the Class of 1894 feels deeply a sense of personal loss
occasioned by his death. Be it resolved that we give expression to
our regard for his memory by publishing these few words of respect
in The Alumni Weekly, and by sending a copy of them to his be-
reaved widow. James S. Campbell, William P. Armstrong, Thomas
F. Bailey, F. Morse Archer, For the Class of 1894."
At the time of his death "Brody" was living in Southern Pines,
N. C, having gone down there about eighteen months before on
account of a nervous break down, aggravated by overwork in his
parish in Kentucky. He was planning to take up his work once
more when suddenly stricken with appendicitis. He was not strong
enough to stand the shock, and passed away just one week after
the operation. His widow and children reside at 52 Maple Street,
Summit, N. J.

Frederick Lemuel Buckelew
/
p rh Jamesburg, N. J.
The King of Jamesburg. Behold our "Squire" and note his handi-
work. Nothing seems to have escaped this mighty Jersey octopus,
not even the kitchen stove. Meredith says: "Buck out-Roosevelts
Roosevelt."
President First National Bank of Jamesburg.
President New Jersey Realty and Construction Company.
Vice-President Perrine and Buckelew Company.
Treasurer Drake Lumber Company.
Secretary Fairfield Aluminum Foundry Corporation.
Director Jamesburg Mutual Building and Loan Association.
Director Middlesex Title Guarantee and Trust Company.
President Town Council of Jamesburg.
And not a thing does he say about the cranberry bogs. After
unloading all of the above titles and making Marshall Bullitt look
like thirty cents. Buck says with becoming modesty, "I do not know
of any other information that will be of interest. Might add that
I still keep in close touch with those Baltimore twins, but cannot
say that their influence is any better for me now than it was fifteen
years ago. With a fee in sight, that man George Williams, the
lawyer, always has a cordial greeting. Call on him some day. He
does his best to tell you what he knows, which has this virtue in it,
that it never takes up much of my time. A lawyer ought to get
credit for brevity anyway."
The Squire is full of patriotism. Last February he went down
to Old Point Comfort to welcome the fleet on its return from its
22
world encircling tour. Subsequently he spent ten days in Washing-
ton inaugurating Bill Taft and appearing before the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of Representatives in an effort to
revise the tariff schedules where they conflicted with Jamesburg
industries. At odd hours he spent his tireless energies in offering
suggestions to the editor of this book. The Squire is a cute little
mischief. Any one of his ideas would either have landed the editor
in jail or produced for him a frigid welcome at reunion and a
probable thrashing.
Buck has a most hospitable home in Jamesburg, as those of the
Class can testify who went over last year under the guidance of
Willie Meredith. Plans have been arranged this year to entertain
the entire Class at a clam-bake, the trip to be made by special train.
Mary Hunter Elliott, of Washington, D. C, rechristened "The
Squireen", became Mrs. Buckelew April 28th, 1906. Buck's ushers
were Frank and Harry, George Williams, Meredith, Constable and
Gaddy Drake. During the wedding reception Meredith nearly
caused a panic among the guests by appearing disguised as a police-
man in a uniform he had hired from a cop that he found in the
basement and demanding that Buck be turned over to him, that he
was wanted at headquarters, etc.
Buckelew is a member of the Princeton Club of New York.
William Marshall Bullitt ^
p b Lincoln Bank Building, Louisville, Ky.
r 1019 4th Ave., Louisville, Ky.
Bullitt received his LL.B. from the University of Louisville in
190 1 and is now a member of the firm of Bullitt and Bullitt.
Marshall was chief counsel for the contestants in the contest in the
Kentucky courts to review the election in 1893. The Kentucky
Court of Appeals handed down a decision in 1907 reversing the
judgment of the lower courts and declaring the election void. The
case was one of the most bitterly fought election cases on record,
being one of the few instances where a municipal election has been
set aside by the courts. This victory pushed Marshall so far out
into the lime-light that he was mentioned as the candidate of the
RepubHcan and Independent Democratic Fusionists for Mayor of
Louisville, and several Kentucky papers urged his nomination for
Governor.
23
In 1907 Marshall led a successful campaign for good government
in Louisville. The day the new administration went into office the
street car employees struck. In the emergency Bullitt was appointed
Chairman of the Board of Public Safety with entire control of the
police force. He fulfilled the trust so well that during the strike
absolute order was kept, full protection was given to the street car
company and the cars were run as usual. The strike was accom-
panied by a riot which broke out at six o'clock in the evening.
Before morning Marshall had twenty-six of the rioters in jail, all
of whom were held for the grand jury next day under bond of
$5,000 each. This crushed the strike and the city resumed its
normal condition. The voters of the 12th Ward of Louisville sub-
sequently presented Bullitt with a silver loving cup two feet high "in
grateful recognition of his distinguished services to the people in the
battle for free and honest elections."
Maybe Marshall isn't a credit to old '94.

was employed at the time of the Class Decennial, I returned to San

March, 1905, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as Assistant Chief Engineer
and Superintendent of Construction to C. H. Kearny, another '94
man, who was in charge of a $6,000,000.00 Hydro-Electric Plant,
located about fifty miles from the City of Rio.
"We stayed there until the completion of the work last July, when
we returned to the United States. After a short visit among our
friends and a flying visit to dear old Princeton, which unfortunately
was just before college opened in September, we were asked to
come here to take charge of the second installation for this company,
with relatively the same positions, Kearny as Chief Engineer and I
as Assistant Chief Engineer and Superintendent of Construction.
We have a pretty large job ahead of us, which includes the building
of four large dams, five or six miles of tunnels and the employment
of five thousand men with the expenditure of six or eight millions
of dollars.
"We hear very little from members of the Class, as we have been

possible cause of the non-issuance of the Record by withholding my
response to your last call. For I am all for the Class Record. I 1
firmly believe that one should be published every fifteen years at
least, for how else are we to know what has become of our room-
mates ? The mails are very slow ; they have been twelve years
bringing me letters from Johnny VanVliet and Al Woodruff, and
that is shockingly poor service. This state of affairs does not, of
course, apply to you favored ones who live near enough to the seat
of learning to get back occasionally, but only to those of us who
35
live at a distance and have neither the wings of a dove nor the
latest model Wilbur and Orville Wright.
"Please change my address on the records from Chicago to Colum-
bus, Ohio, for I had to leave the former to avoid being annoyed by
constant association with classmates. Almost every third or fourth
year up there I would run into Corning Kenly, George Forsyth, John
VanNortwick, Cartright or Jimmie Fentress. So, hating a crowd of
never-present classmates, I came down here, where I am the only
living 94 man. My only danger is the possibility of Murray Brush's
return from Baltimore to this his home town. If he comes back and
gets to crowding me too much I will move again."
Bill seems a little cross.
In a subsequent letter Bill says: "If things take on another aspect
and I can come, I will, you bet, and will take my chances on accom-
modations, eating and sleeping standing up, if needs be."

Church of New York. Prior to his present charge Dowkontt was

Rev. Richard Downes
p Mt. Joy, Pa.
Downes was the objective of five communications from the Rec-
36
ord, the last a registered letter. The return receipt was signed by
H. S. Newcomer, which would seem to indicate that our classmate
is known in that vicinity.
In the Decennial Record his occupation was given as a Presby-
terian minister.
He married Annie Margaret Walker October 4th, 1900.
Later : The gentleman above referred to, Mr. Newcomer, writes
that Downes left Mt. Joy in 1904 and is now located in Manchester,

Downes.
aston Drake

"Duck" is the real thing in the Drake Lumber Company in Miami
and has for his Treasurer, Frederick L. Buckelew. Why, no-
body knows. The Baltimore twins are also in on this good thing
and appear regularly at company meetings when the dividend sea-
sons draw nigh.
Besides cutting yellow pine timber and turning it into lumber.
Duck is a manufacturers' agent for fertilizers and crate material.
He had sufficient influence to secure the establishment of a post-
office at the company's mill and to have it named Princeton.
He writes : "Forgive me for not writing sooner but I have been
pretty well rushed with work here and at Princeton. This is our
busy season in the produce business and am glad to say that we have
all that is coming to us at Princeton. How does this name strike
you ? I am going to make every effort to be with you in June but it
doesn't look very bright for me at present. The Florida East
Coast Railway is straight behind us with their orders for material
for the building of their road to Key W^est and we cannot afford to
let a trick like that pass us now."
Miami is a long way from New York but Gaddy feels repaid for
his membership in the Princeton Club if he gets back with the New
York '94 crowd but once a year.
June 6th, 1906, Mary E. Robinson became Mrs. Drake.

long.

? Rev. Paul Erdman
p Care Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, 156 Fifth
Ave., New York.
r b American Mission, Zahleh, Syria.
Erdman is a missionary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions. The three years immediately succeeding graduation he
spent in Syria, teaching in the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut.
After a year at Union Theological Seminary and two years at the
Princeton Seminary he received his degree of B.D. in 1900. He
received his A.M. from Princeton University the same year.
Returning to Syria as a missionary he married Amanda C. Jes-
sup and the next three years were spent largely in studying the dif-
ficult Arabic language. Mrs. Erdman died in 190 1.
Dr. Erdman writes : "In these eight years and more of service in
Syria I have lived and worked in each of the three main centres of
the Syrian Mission outside of Beirut. The first five years were
lived in Sidon on the Mediterranean coast, the following two years
or somewhat less in Tripoli, also on the coast, and now for over a
year in Zahleh which is a large town at an altitude of 3400 feet on
the eastern slope of the Lebanon range. Above us rises a snow
crowned peak to an altitude of 8600 feet. My work takes me about
a good deal in trips through this region of mountain and plain, usu-
ally on horseback. We have under our supervision some thirty-six
outstations in towns and villages where we have day schools and
preaching centres.
We here in Turkey have seen this year the remarkable bloodless
revolution which has set up a constitutional government in place of
the old regime of tyranny and oppression and hopelessness. I do
not say established, for the difficulties in the way of a true constitu-
tional freedom in this empire are exceedingly great, and yet the
future is full of hope. In this great change it is not a biased
statement to say that the eighty years of missionary labor have had
no small influence.
39
In the fall of this year we hope to return to the States for our
year of furlough and my only regret is that we cannot go this
spring so as to attend the 15th Reunion of dear old '94. A long
life of usefulness to every member of the Class."
Later. — The above letter was written prior to the recent upheaval
in Constantinople and the massacres in Asiatic Turkey. Inquiry at
the Consular Bureau of the State Department developed the fact
that Erdman's mission is in that part of Syria which is thoroughly
Christianized and that he has been in no danger. Several Princeton
men at other missions lost their lives.
Erdman married Amanda C. Jessup June 20th, 1900. She died
December 2nd, 1901.
Frederick Seward was born October 27th, 1901.

Al Constable married a sister of Evans and apparently has given
"Jimmy" the idea that the Record is trying to get a Class Decen-
nial subscription out of him or to sell him a set of books. Both of
these '94 brothers of Elkton stand pat and refuse to satisfy the
Record's eager thirst for knowledge of their doings.
The Record's society correspondent, Mr. Frank Riggs, says that
Jim married Emily Scott and that they have two children, one girl
and one boy. Frank adds that he lives in Elkton and is suspected of
being a lawyer.
Later: Constable writes that Evans was married in Februar)
1899, and that the names of his children are Elizabeth S. and Wil-

Our "Mike" received the degree of A.M. from his alma mater at
the time of the Class Decennial.
He says : "The filling up of the Record can best be left to Lawyer
Humphrey and Broker Smith, HI, whose business it is to use a lot
of space in saying a little. I left dear old soiled Pittsburgh and Joe
Gufifey in 1905 to get experience in road work. I got the experience
all right, but the true southern hospitality of that Baltimore pair of
twins nearly shattered my health. They wanted to give me fizz and
43
green and yellow cordials for breakfast and that sort of thing. Our
Baltimore classmates are all to the good. After touching all the
high places in Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, I
found myself on dear old Broadway and have been here ever since."

Vestryman I am on Sundays,
While the holidays are used in
Motoring:, or golf, or shooting ;
Doing ail with imperfection.
Due in part to semi-blindness.
Fortune nearly smiled upon me
When my cousin, Mrs. Winthrop,
Left about two millions dollars —
Left it to the Seminary.
When I mourned, our class committee
Comforted with thoughts as follows:
All WE have WE give to Princeton,
You should be delighted, Billy.
Fortune really smiled upon me.
For I now am ten years married,
With no birth marks and no death marks.
With no debt marks and no pock marks,
No divorce and one wife only,
Most unfashionable truly."

Further than this modest statement our "Clytie" refuses to commit
himself, except that he has it "all framed up to beat it hot foot for
that reunion."
Later : A second communication says : "I rather fear that Squire's
picnic would not conduce to a large attendance at the class dinner on
Monday evening. My own experience has been that clambakes are
not safe preliminaries for banquets." Now, Karl, what do you
mean ?

greatest of my achievements — three boys started on the way to
Princeton. I have been extremely successful in my practice in the
same office that three James Gibsons, my father, grandfather and
great-grandfather, ocupied before me and I hope to pass it along.
You see, we grow old slowly in this neck of the woods. I will try
to stir up Karl George but the last time I saw or heard from him was
one day in June, 1894, when we were trying to get him through a car
window without removing the side of the car."

over five hundred miles of street railways the company leases about
320,000 acres of gas lands in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
His '94 brothers in Pittsburgh say that Joe finds his work in the
natural gas department particularly congenial. Outside of office
hours Joe confines his energies chiefly to Princeton and charities.
He always takes an active interest in the selection of the alumni trus-
tee from his section and 'tis within the bounds of possibility that Joe
may be a trustee himself one of these fine days.

In a charitable way Guffey is prominent in connection with the
Fresh Air Home and Industrial Society, working among the very

In September, 1906, he joined the battleship Georgia and remained
aboard that ship during the cruise of the fleet around the world as
far as Manila where he was detached and ordered home.
He writes that in Japan he had many inquiries for "Flank and
Hally", which is extraordinary considering that twelve or thirteen
years have elapsed since their visit to that country.

"Cy" writes : "Aly time since graduation has been spent entirely in
the lumber and building material business here in Trenton. I was
fortunate in being worked into a business which my father started
a good many years ago and which has always been in a very healthy
condition, due entirely to the careful, honest, business-like and perse-
vering efforts of my late father who died in December, 1907.
"The Samuel Heath Company, of which I have the honor of
being President and Treasurer, was formed January ist, 1907, by
my father and consisted of himself as President and Treasurer, my
brother, S. Roy Heath, an ex '07 Princeton man, as Secretary, and
myself as Vice-President and Manager.
"While our business relationship is pleasant and attractive my
home is the brightest spot of all. My wife is particularly partial to
'94 men and I have four youngsters, all strong, healthy and aggres-
sive. Naturally, the father, while never an athlete himself, is turn-

He says : "For the last thirteen years I have been busily engaged in
practicing law with Charlie Hoge in New York City. In the rush
of this town it is hard to gauge success or failure. Suffice it to
say, I have paid most of my bills and kept some of my sense of

"Bob" is a lawyer in Peoria, and that is every blessed bit of infor-
mation that the Record could get out of him. Several letters sent
subsequent to the receipt of his information blank failed to break
his silence. He is still a bachelor.
Qscar W. Jeffery
p h 34 Pine St., New York.
r 126 East 19th St., New York.
"Jeff" is a lawyer in the big city, having received his degree of
LL.B. from the New York Law School in 1896. He is the right
hand man to Edmund Wetmore, one of the best patent lawyers in
New York, and most of Jeff's work has been in the United States
Courts in patent and trademark cases. He writes that his home
is only two blocks from the Princeton Club of New York — so con-
S6
venient to that comfortable haven of rest that he hopes to welcome
there many of '94.
Jeff is a member of the Princeton Club of New York.
Harriet E. Blythe, of Philadelphia, became Mrs. Jeffery, June 4th,
1908.
Suzanne Blythe Jeffery was born April 12, 1909.
The Record appealed to Jeff for gossip about the New York mem-
bers of the Class and found him a veritable gold mine of interesting
information : "There are lots of '94 men who are making good in and
around this big town. Yorke Allen, Chip Mackenzie, Grant Fox
and Teddy Humphrey are gaining renown as lawyers. Mac Mitch-
ell's fame has spread from Buffalo, where he defends the Standard
Oil from the attacks of the enemy, to New York, where I have seen
him in action before the U. S. Court of Appeals. Tom Perkins is
a high legal official in the Telephone Trust. Ed Patterson is another
of those prosperous corporation attorneys.
Billy Floyd is a partner in a big real estate firm. He is also a ves-
tryman in the Church of the Ascension and a member of the govern-
ing board of the Sons of the Revolution. In one or the other of
these capacities he sternly and forcibly rebuked, one recent Sunday,
a fellow Son who arose in his pew and called Billy's rector down for
eulogizing T. R. from the pulpit. Whether Billy condemned the
sinner for disturbing the service or for objecting to T. R. I can't
say.
As to our rising young physicians, I can testify at first hand. Last
summer I had a sore toe. That eminent specialist, Dr. Kenyon, pro-
nounced the trouble blood poisoning, and after some days of Ken-
yonian observation, experimentation and treatment, cut a hole
right through the affected part and thus cured the trouble so that
my foot speedily regained its pristine vigor. It may interest some
members of the class to know that "Spivins", as he is familiarly
known about town, is also Second Lieutenant in a National Guard
Battery. He was promoted to that position a few months after he
enUsted because of his soldierly bearing and superior horsemanship.
I can also bear witness to the skill of Montie Sicard. Last No-
vember my right arm was broken in a fuss with an automobile (not
mine) and Mont looked after it with the best possible results. This
is not written to obtain a reduction of his bill.
Summer before last I was personally conducted about London
by Charlie Mcllwain, who had for some months been exploring the
57
British Museum. At various historic spots he deHvered monologues
on English history from which I learned more of the subject than
from two years of Billy Sloane.
This letter is already too long to tell of others around here, of
Andy McCullagh, the great golf player; of Jim Bathgate, high
churchman and Princeton hustler; of Al Woodruff, Chip McCamp-
bell, Bill Sykes, Bill Meredith and more who can make life around
the big city better worth living to their friends.
There is one, however, whom I must tell you about. Charlie
Hoge has retired from his active New York life and is leading the
life of a gentleman of leisure in Hartford, Conn. Business has taken
me there considerably during the past year and several times I have
seen Charlie. Each time I am filled with envy. With a big automo-
bile, a golf club near by, a hoisting club further off and good fishing
Charlie leads a wonderful existence, a life of otium cum dignifate —
What? On my wedding trip I saw Charlie's car at Portland, Me.,
full of his Hartford neighbors, and dodged. Later on I crossed
his trail on the Maine lakes, where the guides tell great tales of his
prowess as a fisherman. Also he and Dudley Riggs '97, don't let
Hartford forget the existence of Princeton."

Jenkins was Pastor of Linwood Presbyterian Church, of Kansas
City, Mo., for ten years and in November, 1907 was called to his
present pastorate, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, of Milwaukee.
Paul writes : "I wrote a book for which Princeton handed me an
A.M. last June — a little late, but to the Princeton spirit her A.M. is
worth more than a Ph.D. from any other institution on earth. Am
the proud papa of one miniature "Jenks" who is already headed for
Princeton."
The title of Dr. Jenkins' book is "The Battle of Westport", a
study of one of the Western campaigns of the Civil War. 1906,

Thomas Addison Jenkins
Died October nth, 1905.
From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, Oct. 28, 1905.
"Dr. Thomas Addison Jenkins '94 died at his home in Brooklyn,
N. Y., on October nth, 1905, after a lingering illness. Upon leav-
ing Princeton he entered the Bellevue Medical College, graduating
in 1897. He was an interne in the Nursery and Childs Hospital in
New York City, and after completing his term there began the
practice of his profession. In 1901 he went to Denver, Colo., where
he remained about four years, returning to his home in May last.
(1905) r%
"The members of the Class of '94 have learned with great sorrow
and regret of the death of their classmate, Thomas Addison Jen-
kins. Soon after the finish of a hard course of preparation for his
chosen profession and at the outset of a career of much promise, he
was compelled to leave his work. The cheerfulness with which he
faced disease and the vigor of his fight against it was in keeping with
the spirit of his life at college and won the admiration of all around
him. His devotion to his class and his classrnates was of the strong-
est, and was especially manifested "by his relations with them and
work for them during his life in Denver.
"We extend to his family our sincere sympathy in their bereave-
ment. The Class of '94 — A. E. Holmes, Oscar W. Jefifery, J. H.

He was in Princeton last fall at the time of the Yale game and later
witnessed the Yale-Harvard game.
He says : "I am neither getting rich nor broke, and that is about
all there is to it. I am counting on being with you in June, but, in
the meantime and while I am waiting, I am going to Marshall
Bullitt's town for the meeting of the Western Princeton Clubs to

No news from Johnston. Dr. McLeish writes that he saw John-

was traveling a great deal and getting up special newspaper artists'
exhibits, special editions, special articles, etc. He was then living
in Seattle and a bachelor.
Later: Johnston's father is a Deacon in the Church of the Cove-
nant in Cincinnati. Inquiry there developed the fact that Johnston
is in New York City. The information came too late to get a
response from him. The address given was Room 204, 203 Broad-
way.
Bulletin : Johnston writes that he is a publisher, and in addition
to the New York address gives two permanent addresses : The
Lombardy, Cincinnati, Ohio, and The Germania, Springfield, Mass.
He says : "Sorry I can't write you a longer letter, but I am about
to take the Limited for Chicago in an hour and must hasten. I am
now, as I have been for the past fifteen years, constantly on the

will double the capacity of the plant. This work includes the
building of five large dams, about five miles of tunnels, two miles
of canals, the enlargement of the power house, etc. The power is
used in Mexico City and the mining camp of El Oro, the transmis-
sion line to the city being eighty miles in length and the line to

way, Light and Power Co., Ltd., which owns and operates most of
the public utilities properties of that city.
You may be sure that it would be a great pleasure to get to

"Cornie" says : "I have been devoting some ten of my best years
to the above business, not from any unselfish motive or desire to.
uplift the profession, but merely with the sordid purpose and
endeavor to make some money out of it. The small circle of '94 in
Chicago, with its several hundred square miles, is widely separated.
For this reason it takes an annual dinner of the Princeton Club or-
62
some other important occasion like a wedding to call a few of us
together in the good old way. To all of the boys I send best wishes
for happiness and success."
Winfield Scott Kennedy
Born June 17th, 1871. Died August 23rd, 1908, at Denver, Col.
From the Princeton Alumni Weekly, October 14th, 1908 :
"The members of the Class of '94 have heard with .deep regret of
the untimely death of their classmate, Winfield Scott Kennedy, who
passed peacefully away in Denver, Colorado, on Sunday, August
23rd, 1908, after a long and hopeless illness. His many attractive
qualities of heart and mind, which his long and painful struggle with
disease did not dim, but seemed to enrich, made and kept. him warm
friends who will never forget the loss they have sustained in his
death, and will always cherish his memory as one of their most
precious recollections of college days and friendships.
"As a memorial of our sorrow, we, the Class of '94, Princeton
University, desire that this be published in The Alumni Weekly and
a copy sent to his bereaved family. For the Class of '94, Henry G.
Riggs, Francis G. Riggs, George Weems Williams, James Mac-
Naughton Thompson, William F. Meredith."
Kennedy received the degree of LL.B. from the Cincinnati Law
School in 1896, and was engaged in the practice of law up to the
time that the state of his health made it necessary for him to go
West.
ames Henry Kenyon, M.D.
P V. ^ 37/W"est 71st .^t.^-Ne,y Yo^^-
In 1898 Kenyon received his M.D. from the College of Physicians
and Surgeons, Columbia College, New York, and is now engaged in
practice up in Malcolm Goodridge's neighborhood in New York City.
"Spivins" wrote on a prescription blank: "Will send letter in a
few days." That was sixty days ago, and nary a line thus far. The
Record concludes, therefore, that Spivins is a busy man. As to how
well he does his work reference should be made to Jeffery's testi-
monial about Spivins' skill in taking care of Jeff's sore toe.
If anyone of the Class desires a consultation with "Old Dr.
63
Kenyon", note should be made of the fact that his ofifice hours are
until 9.30 a. ni. and from 12.30 to 1.30 p. m.
He is a member of the Princeton Club of New York.
Later: "L. C.'s" letter came at the eleventh hour. It is such a
good one that the Record is constrained to print it in full as a model
to the lazy and backward members of the Class who refuse to be
either jocose or serious, or, in fact, to say anything at all.
"First and above everything else in importance, my existence has been
blessed with unusually good health — not a day's illness since I finished my
childhood diseases with a mild attack of scarlet fever in the spring of '89,
which will always be remembered, as it prevented me from trying for the
Class of '93, as I had intended while preparing at Lawrenceville, and also
because I was taken care of by a lady doctor and during the desquamating
period was greased each day with a slice of salt pork warmed on a shovel.
"For all this good health and the happiness that goes with it I am truly
thankful, and hasten to give the credit to habits formed at good old Princeton.
Mixing in with our Class football and lacrosse teams and various scrub
organizations, making trips to Bordentown with Os. Jeffery and Cy Perkins,
to Pennington, Bayonne and Hoboken, shovelling under Capt. Irish McClena-
han, many hunting and fishing trips with Ulric Dahlgren, Ned Halsey, Bill
Meredith, Red Turner and Dick Hatton and perhaps the best of all, the fossil
collecting party to the Bad Lands in the summer of '93 — all these events,
besides furnishing plenty of fun at the time and an inexhaustible source of
pleasant reminiscences, exerted a great influence for health and happiness
that is being reenacted in varied form by exercises at the New York Athletic
Club with Meredith and Sicard, riding horseback with Perkins or sailing with
Humphrey and Woodruff in the good ship 'D'Jin'.
"Most of the '94 men who decided to study medicine in New York entered
the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the Class of '98. We were the first
under the new four-year curriculum and honored with many experiments. All
survived and were fortunate enough to secure hospital appointments.
"An account of our many thrilling experiences at 127 West 6ist Street,
where Sicard, Jeffery, Perkins, McWhorter and I lived for four years, spending
our summers at Bath Beach, of our dissecting babies (Ikey and Jakey) kept
in little earthenware jars in the trunk, of our shooting gallery on the top
floor with a soap box in the corner for a target, of how Monty Sicard learned
to roller skate, of the little reunions when Humphrey and Woodruff came to
visit us and I had to sleep on the floor to make room for the guests, of how
one innocent member of our happy family was wrongly suspected of being the
noisy one and politely but firmly asked by the landlady to look elsewhere for
a room, of how another met with an accident in the Park and was brought
home on a stretcher, of how another fell over the banister, loosening the tile
flooring and dislocating his collar bone, of how Santa Claus filled our shoes
on Christmas Morn, all these and many other incidents would more than fill
a book and will never be forgotten.
64
"July 1st, 1898, I commenced my service as interne on the staff of the New
York Hospital, always appreciating and enjoying this most valuable hospital
work and particularly attracted by anything promising a place to sleep and
three square meals a day with sometimes a midnight lunch, especially while
Jeffery was there as a patient. I managed to hang on for four short happy
years, which, next to my four in Princeton, were about the best I ever had.
"After leaving the hospital I started in practice with a Dr. Downes at 47
West 44th Street, opposite the Hippodrome and Patsy Kimball's house and
very handy to Jack's and Burns'. In the fall of 1906 we moved to 37 W. 71st
Street, where we are now.
"Various clinics and hospitals, assisting at operations, giving dope, in fact
doing most any old thing, have kept me fairly busy and very much interested.
"It has been my good fortune to have done considerable work with Dr.
Frank Hartley, Princeton '77, assisting him in his Operative Surgery course
at the P. and S., and to some extent in his hospital and private work.
Together we have devised several little appliances which make surgery easier,
perhaps the most important being a small electric motor with a buzz saw
attachment, which, although it does not exactly permit one to open the
patient's head and look in while he waits, has nevertheless greatly facilitated
cerebral surgery.
"While medical ethics do not permit a doctor to advertise or speak too
highly of his soothing art, the indulgent reader of these few lines is confi-
dently referred to several of our dear classmates and to our god-father. Patsy
Kimball, for glowing testimonials that the knife is mighter than the pill.
"Of course, as you know, doctors are always desirous of being appointed as
attending or assistant attending physician or surgeon to some hospital. By
good luck I managed to land one of these appointments and was just settling
down to enjoy an interesting service when the whole institution went broke
and went out of business, leaving me only a paper job, which has the advant-
age of being an easy one.
"About two years ago I joined the First Battery Field Artillery, State of
New York, not in the medical department, but in the line. The varied work,
military, equestrian and ballistic, is extremely interesting and quite a profes-
sion all by iteslf. I am continually impressed with how much I have forgotten
of Baby Rockwood's mathematics. We go to camp for ten days to two weeks
every year and enjoy every minute of it, particularly last year, when we were
at the maneuvers at Pine Camp in Jefferson County.
"I enlisted as a private, serving as lead driver. Was promoted to corporal,
and now have a commission as Second Lieutenant. The only feature of the
military business that causes me any regret is' the fact that the time of our
encampment prevents my getting back to see you all at Princeton. My kindest
remembrances and best wishes for each and every one of you . . ."

him. His correct address was secured just before going to press
from his brother, Charles H. Kieshng, 204 West Greenwich St.,

Owing to the remoteness of Pop's abiding place and the insistent
calls from the printer, it was not possible to await his reply.

Chip went nosing down to Hot Springs, Va., when President Taft
was there and got into a ball game with all the big bugs. Twice he
cleared the bags with his trusty willow and history repeated itself.
After getting so far into the lime-light he nearly ruined the hit he

General, and putting a finger entirely out of business.
Mackenzie is a prominent member of the Canadian Club of New
York, an organization composed of Canadians or the children of
Canadians residing in the United States, its purpose being to promote
and foster the friendly relations now existing between the United
States and Canada. Every year the thousand odd members give a
dinner in New York, and Chip was deputized this year to secure
the speakers. This mission brought him to Washington to see the
President and the French and English Ambassadors. At odd hours
he gave the Record the benefit of his wisdom and advice. A brief
pen picture of Chip : A husky two hundred and twenty-five pounder,
sparsely thatched and with an extremely well fed look. He is a
member of the Princeton Club of New York. His letter is brief:
"There is little in the incessant grind of a lawyer's life that would
be of any particular interest to my friends. My innate modesty
prevents me from recording feats accomplished, which after all are
but incidents in our daily life. I am not and never have been en-
gaged in politics or matrimony, and therefore two important branches
of social life, which are open for discussion to many men, are closed
to me."

"Up to the present", he says, "a decent sense of the fitness of things
and a Hibernian sense of humor have prevented my making any use
of this adornment. Aside from the publication for our own use
of a book of "Laboratory Directions in Experimental Physics", my
work has been confined entirely to teaching and administrative du-
ties. At one time I was on the Committees on Attendance, Discip-
line and Outdoor Sports where I had to meet the most entertaining
members of the various classes, the liars, the sports and the athletes.
While the "pollers" are, of course, among the really admirable part
of the undergraduates, they are not as amusing from a disciplinary
standpoint as our undesirable citizens. For the last five years it
has been my sincere pleasure to serve as secretary of the faculty com-
mittee on outdoor sports. In this position I have been the faculty
representative in all of Princeton's athletic relations. During all
of this time my admiration for the manliness and clean living of our
athletes and for the marked business ability and straightforward
honesty of our athletic managers has been constantly increasing. It
is a privilege to pay a tribute to these fine youngsters. Life in
Princeton is ever delightful and I am looking forward to the time
when the good old class will get together, even if for only five or
six days."

Buffalo, which he says "is a corking, lively young baby."
Skinny is the official promoter of all of the alumni functions in
Buffalo and is a member of the Princeton Club of New York.
Guffey is the Record's authority that our old "Julius Caesar" is
something of an actor. Joe got off the train in Buffalo last fall and
upon the first bill-board he saw was affixed an enormous twenty-
four sheet lithograph of Skinny, depicting a scene from a skit or take
off of Elinor Glyn's "Three Weeks". Across the top was printed
SHIRRELL NORTON McWILLIAMS in barn-door size lettering.
Joe said that the show was a tremendous hit in Buffalo and that
Skinny on the tiger-skin rug was a picture no artist could paint.
September 29th, 1896, Mac. married Mabel L. Johnson. Their

I hardly know. It is a company that manufactures titanium alloy
which is used in some way in the hardening of iron and steel and
with good results it is said. I am convinced that the scheme will be
a big success if we can overcome the law of gravitation. I regret
to say that I am not the office-boy, because my stenographer is
partial toward brunettes. What business have I to get married?
Last month I spent twenty-three nights on a sleeping car. You have

after City Solicitor.
lie writes: "I saw Pop Inslec who is superintending the construc-
tion here of a pmnpiiij; station for the Tidewater Pipe Line Company
and he seems to be in good health and good humor, lie and I have
been talking about coming down to Princeton this June but I am
afraid 1 will not be able to go as a Congressional campaign a year ago
nearly broke me fmancially and I iiave been going slow and rather
easy since. 1 lowever, I have some depositions in a case which will
have to be taken in Baltimore some time in May or June and if I can
get the date to corres])ond with Commencement week I am going to
run down and see you fellows for a day anyway."
Miller received his LL.IV degree from the Cincinnati Law School

Charles F. Morrison
Morrison could not be located. At the time of the Class Decennial
he was teaching in the High School at Grand Forks, N. Dak. In-
quiry of the Principal there failed to locate Morrison's present
whereabouts. In the Alumni Weekly of October 21, 1905, appeared
a paragraph to the effect that he was then at Ilagan, Philippine Isl-
ands.

Horace is a counsellor-at-law and a Master and Examiner in Chan-
cery in Camden, N. J.
He says: "Have had a great deal of enjoyment, especially during
the last year, in four or five brisk cross-country rides each week. The
result is that I am feeling fine, and the fellows in a rough rider class
which I attend once a week, think I am about twenty five instead of
an old grad. about to go back to his fifteenth reunion. A little
swimming and golf during the summer furnishes the balance of the
relaxation which I need from an extremely busy practice. Certainly
the habit of exercise which we form at Princeton is a great thing to
keep us young."
Horace is a member of the Princeton Club of Philadelphia.
October 19th, 1898, Nixon married Caroline Denny and they have
three daughters,

Charles Forsyth Patterson
p b 602 Frick Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
r iioi Western Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa.
Patterson is an attorney in Pittsburgh, and is counsel for the "Big
Four" Express Companies. He writes that the activities of the
lately departed T. R. resulted in innumerable suits, claims and de-
mands of all sorts against these downtrodden public servants to
such an extent that he has been up to his eyes in work ever since.
"I live a life of unremitting toil, which does not permit of much /\.
excursion into the realms of literature, fancy or politics. As a
matter of fact, my daily life is composed of a morning trip to the
office, a struggle there for daily bread, a trip home, and as our old
friend Pepy says, "and so to bed". Epics have been written with
little else as foundation.
"I do not, however, like a majority of Pittsburghers, sigh for the
days when the iron business was prosperous and when gfaft was
rampant as in days of yore. In fact, I believe that the worse the
times the better the law business. An epigram. I am the highest
authority at our Bar on the law of suretyship, receiverships and ex-
press companies, and am universally recognized as such I may say
without conceit.
"I expect to be at the Fifteenth Reunion, and if business continues
as good as heretofore will double the money offered by Chuck Wil-
son in his late bequest. While I have no intention of entering my-
self as a candidate for the loving cup which he has offered I may
say that my small boy, now aged some three years, has nailed down
the position of center rush on the Varsity when he enters college,
as he weighs fifty pounds and already is a tackier of renown."
April 15th, 1903, Patterson married Elizabeth Loomis Lord, of
Baltimore, a sister of Walter Lord, '95.
Their daughter, Forsyth, was born December 30th, 1903.

He writes : "Our practice is largely of the corporation order, al-
though we have had a good deal of litigation. Some of it has been
of considerable importance, one of my partners having been chief
counsel for the gas companies in the late lamented eighty-cent gas
case. I have also tried a good many cases myself. My home is
still in Plainfield, where I have recently built a new house. The
statistics of its inhabitants are below. In September, 1904, I had a
serious case of appendicitis and there would surely have been an-
other name in our long death list had it not been for the skill of
the late Andrew J. McCosh 'yj, and Dr. William H. Murray '78.
son of the good old Dean.
"Following that Mrs. Patterson and I took a trip abroad and I
have made two short trips to Europe since. My profession takes
most of my time and energy. I have few interests outside my office
and my home, except that I play golf and go fishing whenever I get
the chance.
"A year ago we organized a local Princeton Club in Plainfield of
which I had the honor to be the first president. Recently we had a

goes. The Record made a tearful appeal to Robert for a few de-
tails but our rotund classmate refused to unburden himself further
than to say: "I am a lawyer in Greensburg."
To distract attention from himself Kay forwarded a marked copy

"Lou" is a lawyer holding the responsible position of Assistant
Trust Officer of the Fidelity Trust Company, of Philadelphia, one
of the two largest corporations of its kind in that city and' one of
the strongest in the country, its trust estates aggregating many mil-
lions of dollars. He says : "I cannot promise you to deliver any dog-
gerel as I gave up that fascinating and instructing work in June,
1904, and have been absolutely dependent for my music upon the
beautiful compositions of other masters. Reserve room for one at
the Seminary, electric light, hot and cold water, springs on bed,
valet, breakfast in bed. I vote no on the banquet, too formal, poor
grub, leads to the grill room afterwards. Wine is a mocker. You

will never holtl the whole bunch until Monday evening for a class
dinner, especially after Squire's clambake. Never mix business and
clams. Have a shirt-waist reunion. Down with class dinners at
the Inn on hot nights ! Savors of a meeting of the undesirable
citizens, Ilarriman et al."
In 1897 Reichner received his A.M. from Princeton and his LL.B.
from University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Princeton
Club of Philadelphia and has been a member of the Graduate
Advisory Committee of the Princeton University Athletic Associa-
tion, from which he has resigned, his resignation to take elTect this

Hugh Richardson
p 400 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta, Ga.
b 1 100 Century Building, Atlanta, Ga.
Richardson is engaged in private banking and real estate in At-
lanta.
He writes : "Last February I attended a dinner here given to Dr.
Andrew F. West of Princeton. All of the Princeton men in Atlan-
ta were invited and I was very pleased to see that Dr. West has
changed so little in the past fifteen years and still has that happy fac-
ulty of making friends for Princeton which gave rise to the old
song — "Here's to Andy-three-million- West." Several days later I
had the pleasure of his company as a guest at luncheon at my farm.
My eight year old boy joins me in kindest regards to every member
of old '94."
Richardson married Josephine V. D. Inman, of Atlanta, June
24th, 1896.
Hugh Inman was born August ist, 1900.
Francis Graham Riggs
p 814 Cathedral St., Baltimore, Md.
r Robinson, Anne Arundel Co., Md.
b 200 Fast German St., Baltimore, Md.
"Frank" is a financier and chicken fancier. As a financier he is
paying (and story) teller in The Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com-
88
pany of Baltimore. The Record has excellent authority that al-
though Frank is in the banking business he is not leading a double
life.
He writes : "Sorry can't get cup for longest 'traveling'. Any
other LONG prizes?"
"The Bull" owns one-half of ninety-four acres of the best Mary-
land chicken land down in "Old Anne Aran'el County". Fifteen
years ago we little realized the effects of "Squire" Buckelew's bucolic
tastes upon the after lives of some of our classmates.
George Williams says that, although the "Gold Dust Twins" have
been farming but three or four years, they can now feed the hens
almost as well as the Squire, and he has been in the business since
infancy. Frank is a member of the Princeton Club of New York
Henry Griffith Riggs
p b 344 Equitable Building, Baltimore, Md.
r Robinson, Anne Arundel Co., Md.
"Harry" is ditto to Frank. He is the senior partner of Riggs and
McLane, bond brokers, and owns the other half of the chicken farm.
His competitors do say that "Hatchet" is a crafty man in his business
of buying and selling high grade securities. "Buck", of Jamesburg,
says : "That man certainly does know a hen when he sees one".
Such tributes indicate that our classmate has done well in his two
chosen lines of calling.
On Saturdays, he and brother Frank pool their weekly profits, buy
a new setting of Plymouth Rocks and go down to see the hens.
He says : "In reserving room in Seminary I desire to urge you
to see personally that I am not placed near any rough fellows, as
I wish to be quiet and undisturbed during my hours of rest."
For the present at least the fowls have driven all matrimonial ideas
out of the thoughts of each of our twins.
Verily, Buckelew has much to answer for.
Harry is a member of the Princeton Club of New York.
Thomas Riggs, Jr.
pr 2III S St., Washington, D. C.
b Coast and Geodetic Survey, Washington, D. C.
"Tom" is a government surveyor, having charge every summer of
the running of the 141st meridian, the boundary between Alaska and
Canada.
/
He writes : "It's a hard graft. Last year included a shortage of
supplies which meant a week straight on beans and two days without
even beans — very trying. We wound up the season with a two hun-
dred and fifty mile trip on a raft in unexplored waters. Some of
these days I am going to discover a gold mine and come back to put
the class properly to the bad. Unmarried and getting more undesir-
able every day."
In the winter Tom lives in Washington, where he can get his three
square meals per day and beans are tabooed.

Robbins is Senior Master in Mathematics in the William Penn
Charter School, Philadelphia.
On June 23rd, 1897, he married Katharine Keyser.
Ernest Percival Roberts
r Key West, Fla.
"Borneo" failed to respond for the Decennial Record and was lost
up to 1905 when he popped into prominence as a member of the Flo-
rida Legislature. Inquiry of the Secretary of State of the State of
Florida develoj^ed the fact that Roberts is living now in Key West.
Several appeals failed to rouse him out so the Record is obliged to
let it go at that.
./Charles Alexander Robinson c*-*-**-^
p r h Peekskill Military Academy, Peekskill, N. Y.
"Charley" is Principal of the Peekskill Military Academy, an
educational institution for boys, founded in 1833.
He was Instructor in Greek in Princeton, 1897-98; and Instructor
in Latin, T898-Deccmber, 1903, at which time he resigned to accept
the position of Associate Principal at Peekskill.
Robinson received from Princeton the degree of A.M. in 1895 and
in 1 90 1 the degree of Ph.D.
He writes : "I am sorry to have caused the Record to spend un-
necessary postage. I can truly sympathize with you, for since the
fire, January 12th, I have experienced all the agonies of no response
to my ceaseless flow of letters asking for funds from our three
90
thousand graduates and ex-members. '94 fathers of boys will please
note that I can guarantee thorough preparation for Princeton, or
any other college if obliged to."
The Record would suggest to Charley that he keep a copy of this
book for reference when he sends out his advertising circulars to
members of the Class. Several fathers of girls only have protested
that to be overwhelmed with advertising matter about a boys' school
three or four times a year is carrying a joke a little too far.
June 1 6th, 1898, Robinson married Sarah Sharpe Westcott.
Their three children are:
Charles Alexander, Jr., born March 30th, 1900,

Stevenson is an author and Librarian of the Chillicothe Public
Library, which position he has held for the past eight years.
He writes: "For lo these many years I have been earning a
precarious living with the pen. First as a newspaper hack and then
as an ordinary literary omnibus, in the course of time producing
about a dozen novels which have excited only the mildest sort of
interest, three or four kid books, some anthologies and several library
reference books. Some of it has been reproduced in England and
Germany and there is even a Dago version of one particularly un-
pleasant detective story. As I look over the shelf full of stuff I have
produced I am ashamed sometimes of the good money the publishers
and public have thrown away on it. Still, if the aforesaid p. and p.
don't kick I don't suppose I should."
The latest titles from Stevenson's pen are: "The Quest of the

"Bill" is a ranchman in southern Idaho, and here is his letter
in full :
"Since graduation I have had such variety of work and scene and
have been able to see so much of the Class and to make such frequent
pilgrimages to Princeton that I cannot but write with great cheer-
fulness and hap])iness. I have been a predatory lawyer most of the
time, eking out the meagre subsistence that, outside of novels, muck-
raking magazines and the roarings of the Greatest Living Statesman,
is really the lot of most of our profession. Incidentally, and owing
to the unpleasant necessity of paying bills, I have spoilt some other-
wise good pages of our magazines with stories and poems, and the
rest of the time I have been more or less mixed up with ranching
in southern Idaho.
I have about retired from the practice of the law, and am living
in Boise now, and expect to make this my head(iuarters for the next
few months, being thereto induced chiefly to be within the sphere of
influence of Bob Lewis. My occupation here is raising apples, exter-
minating jack-rabbits and sagebrush and sitting with my feet on the
desk, dilating on the greatness of the Far West. Out here we are
long on Woman Suff^rage, sunshine, alfalfa, high spirits and belief
in our fellow-men, and short of grouchiness, tuberculosis, nerves,
strap-hanging crowds and bad weather.
"I am afraid you will have to pass on to the next man in your
search for achievements, for the infinite detail of fifteen years of
professional work and the prosaic clearing of deserts and making
the waste i)laces to bloom, are all intensely interesting in the doing
but hardly striking or dramatic enough to write about in comparison
with the real constructive work of so many of the Class. You should
get Mont Sicard and Kenyon to tell you of the real big work they
have been doing in their lines, or Ed Patterson of the difficult and
important litigation wherein he has been the best of pilots, or Gitney
98
/
Williams of his great success as one of the leading lawyers of Balti-
more, or the other George Williams of how he broke up the gangs
in St. Louis and the people insisted on making him judge, or Arthur
Maurice of how he has edited The Bookman and made it a magazine
of dignity and authority, or Marshall Bullitt of how he induced the
Supreme Court of Kentucky to turn the whole city government of
Louisville out of office and to invalidate the election for fraud and
what they think of Marshall in Kentucky — there is plenty of achieve-
ment in our Class — only you are right when you say that those boys
who have been doing things won't tell you about them.
"When I get back East, which I hope will be very soon, I am
going to have a Sabine Farm in the hills back of Princeton, where
there will be a permanent '94 headquarters and cots for everybody
at Reunions — one side of the house under the care of Frank and
the other presided over by Harry. One side will have Scotch and
the other Apollinaris.
"My only sad thought is that I'm afraid that I may not be able
to get back to Quindecennial. When I think of that I feel like the
English servant who at a masquerade was dressed up by his
employer as an ancient Roman. When someone asked him, face-
tiously, 'Are you Appius Claudius?' he replied with a groan, 'No,
sir, I ain't. I'm as un'appy as 'ell.' "

(From The Princeton Alumni Weekly, Feb. 3, 1909.)
"In the death of James MacNaughton Thompson of the Class of
94, Princeton University has indeed lost one of her favorite sons.
To have known him was to have realized the privilege it was to
those who know and love Princeton that he should have been one
of her standard bearers to carry her vigor and spirit and ideals into
the outer world.
"It is hard to realize that Mac. Thompson has been taken from us.
But we recognize the fact of an all-wise Providence, and though we
are stunned by the blow, yet do we also see through the mist before
our eyes the Divine Hand which gave us such a strong and loving
heart to ever cherish in tender memory.
"The Board of Governors of the University Cottage Club, with
whom he was for several years closely associated, direct that this
memorial be spread upon the minutes of the Board, and as a slight
token of their sorrow direct that a copy be sent to Mrs. Thompson,
and be published in The Princeton Alumni Weekly. Board of Gov-
ernors of the University Cottage Club. W. F. Meredith, Wm. O.
Morse, Committee."
(Extract from Sermon of Rev. Roelif H. Brooks, St. Paul's Church,
Albany, N. Y., January 3, 1909.)
"The keynotes of my hopes for the parish were set forth, ex-
pressed as best I could, in the preface of the Year Book which has
been placed in your hands, as follows : That the parish may stand
for earnestness and zeal and the church as a place to which men and
women shall come for spiritual help and comfort, a place where they
may find new courage to live the highest and best life, as exemplified
in the life of Jesus Christ'
"I said this because the greatest need of man is to know how to
live his life in its truest and best sense and that he may do so is the
reason, and the only reason, for the church's existence, that she may
help, guide and protect.
"How should a man live his life in its truest and best sense? The
answer was given to us as a parish, as an entire community, this
past week. At first I confess that a spirit of rebellion arose in my
heart at what seemed the ruthless striking down of a man young in
years, with a future so full of promise before him; a man with such
a capacity for doing good and with a desire behind that capacity for
doing it.
"With pride I had looked forward to the day when he might
become more closely associated with us as a member of the vestry
and through this add greater strength to the work which we are
trying to do here. For, from the first day that I came to the City
of Albany, even before I had accepted the position of rector of St.
Paul's, T realized that in James MacNaughton Thompson I had a
friend in whom I could repose confidence and trust and from whom
I might expect in return, love and sympathy. If ever man lived his
life in its truest and best sense, that man was he. One of God's
noblemen was he, 'whose strength was as the strength of ten,
because his heart was pure'.
"No mean sordid thing could he do, for he was every inch a man,
of high aims, lofty ideals, with a heart full of love and a nature
bubbling over with all that was good.
"Although his life was short as measured in years, his influence
was such that his name and the impress which he left and made upon
the lives of the young men with whom he came in contact will never
be forgotten as long as life lasts.
"His influence was greater than that which comes to most men,
and the result was such that all men, even those who did not know
him intimately, felt as though they had lost a personal friend.
"My brethren, such men do not live in vain, nor do they die in
v;i.in. Life, it is true, is full of mystery, but I believe with all the
faith my heart is capable of containing, that God raises up such men
to teach the greatest lesson which life contains, that only the best is
worth while. And I beg you, more especially you young men, to
remember and hold before your mind's eye the example which James
MacNaughton Thompson set you. A man may be good, true and
pure, without being what we might call a prude, and such was he."
A TRIBUTE BY M CREADY SYKES
We come together at this fifteenth reunion under a shadow that
makes of our gathering a solemn memorial. At this halfway point
in our journey, as we look again in each others' faces and hear again
each others' voices and listen once more to each others' stories of
the good and ill that has come to us along the road, we are all
thinking of a kindly voice forever hushed and of one in whose
brave and inspiring eyes we may no longer look.
Dear old Mac ! Surely it can be given to few to realize so splen-
didly as did he all that a class president may be in leading and
inspiring the men of his generation ; in preserving unbroken and
unimpaired through all the years the unity, the loyalty and fraternity
of the men that had lived in Princeton together. . . . The words
are hard to speak, and a mist is before our eyes —
"At cur feet our captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead."
But the legacy he has left us is not to be expressed in the words
of mourning, but of strength and inspiration rather; in something
of his own high spirits and great joyousness of heart, of a high and
serene faith in each other and renewed devotion to the ideals that
brought us together and in which our own kinship must be found.
For a heart so overflowing with love and sympathy, for that great
soul of his that illumined all about him, surely there must be work
to do that ceases not and a force of radiance and inspiration that
death is powerless to stay.
His life-work happily lay for many years in Princeton itself. To
the office of curator he brought all his great powers of energy and
genius for administration, for all his heart was in his work; and to
the succeeding generations there has come a changed Princeton, a
place far different from that we knew. The prosaic aids of better
standards of living, of baths and improved lighting and heating and
attractive surroundings, were worked out under his guidance, and
have passed into the permanent betterment that has transformed the
old campus. More than that, it was he that made of the under-
graduate body an enthusiastic and highly efficient cooperative army,
inspired with pride in its own part in maintaining better conditions —
a miracle whose accomplishment it is hard for us to grasp. When
103
he retired from Princeton in 1904 he went into business in Albany,
and to the time of his death was a vital and integral part of the
community, doing half a dozen men's work, conducting important
and varied business interests, building railroads, equipping factories
and entering eagerly and efficiently into the life of his time. He put
out his ten talents at usury, and his lord made him ruler over ten
cities.
In the great activities and responsibilities that came upon his
maturity, nothing was ever lost or impaired of his simplicity of
spirit, of his love for his fellows nor least of all of his devotion to
'Ninety-Four. His family life was of uninterrupted happiness and
serenity. His life was always the life of service, for he never
thought of it in any other way — of the service that goes joyfully on
in purity of heart and unselfishness of aim ; his heart was forever
singing and "his strength was as the strength of ten because his
heart was pure". He had in such abounding measure the gift of
inspiring the love of those with whom he was thrown that probably
few happier men have ever lived. The workmen under him at
Princeton out of their small store sent his wife a piano upon their
wedding-day ; the men whom he had directed in making over the
Kenmore hotel at Albany so thought of him as one of themselves
that they presented him a gold locket and chain when the work was
done. Just as in our time, it was always the same dear old Mac,
with the same abounding love and sympathy and helpfulness that
brought him, as few men have come, so close to the hearts of so
many different kinds of men ; poller, athlete, whatever we were,
somehow that irradiating love of his brought him close to us all.
Knowing him as we did, knowing how broad and vital were his
sympathies and the warmth and manliness of his great heart, we may
realize a little how the same thing went on in after life on a stage
so vastly wider — how many hands went out to his for strength and
sympathy, how many lives were illumined by his great love, how
light and serenity were everywhere diffused about him.
And so, even out of our sorrow and from the solemn theme that
is running through our hearts, there rises glorious and triumphant
the inspiring memory of our dear brother and leader; and perhaps
we may all come most closely to the memory that to him would have
seemed the dearest, if we think rather of the great happiness of his
short life and that it is for us to carry on as best we may something

of that noble work of which his life was the fine flower and fruition
among men — and that it should be with hearts of love and gratitude
for his inspiration to 'Ninety-Four that we lay our offering to his
memory, rather than that we should speak as those who mourn.
The end came suddenly — the day after Christmas, 1908 ; it came
without a moment's warning, in the full flush of action and the full
sweep of achievement. He was in the high flood of manhood, happy
in his work, serenely putting forth his hand to the great tasks that
brought to his life such richness and variety —
"And then the knock, the summons and the end."
There are three of his children; the youngest born three months
after its father's death, and who bears the name of William Meredith
Thompson.
Some of us were at Albany to join in the last solemn and impres-
sive tribute ; where the community was as one stricken, and where in
the busiest part of the day St. Paul's Church was filled with a
mighty throng wherein old and young, the workman and his master,
men high in council and those of low estate, alike gathered silently
to pay the last honours to him whom every man had loved. And at
the very end of it all, from the great banks of flowers that lay upon
his grave, she who had been the nearest and dearest of all, from the
innermost depths of whose sorrow we must reverently stand apart —
she it was who, well knowing what words would have been written
on his heart, silently drew out from the rest of the flowers those
that had been sent by 'Ninety-Four, and placed them above his
breast, and we left him sleeping there, with our roses upon his heart.

r b Siang Tan, Province of Hunan, via Hankow, China.
Tooker is a medical missionary, having received his M.D. from
New York University Medical School in 1897.
No word was received from him, and the following was taken
.from The Princeton Alumni Weekly of January 19th, 1907:
"The marriage of Dr. Frederick J. Tooker and Dr. Mary E. Fitch
of the Tooker Memorial Hospital, Soochow, China, is announced to
take place on January 23rd in Shanghai, China. Dr. Fitch is the
los
oldest daughter of Dr. George E. Fitch of the Presbyterian Mission
Press, Shanghai, China. She is a graduate of Worcester College and
of the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia. Dr. Tooker is
stationed at Siang Tan, China, a city of fifty thousand inhabitants,
twelve hundred miles up the Yangste River in the province of
Hunan. He has just taken charge of the Tooker Hospital, which is
of native brick built on foreign plans, and contains thirty beds. In
connection with the hospital two dispensaries are maintained in the
city."
Tooker wears the native dress and a queue and spent two years
learning the language before beginning his real medical work.
Later : Tooker's permanent address is Care Presbyterian Board
of Foreign Missions, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York, or Care Presby-
terian Mission Press, 18 Peking Road, Shanghai, China. He arrived
in the United States in the latter part of March on a year's furlough,
and is living with his father, Mr. Nathaniel Tooker, 28 Evergreen
Place, East Orange, New Jersey.
Dr. Mary Elliot Fitch became Mrs. Tooker January 23rd, 1907.

"Bill" is Assistant Superintendent of the Joint Application Bureau
of the Charity Organization Society and the Association for Improv-
ing the Condition of the Poor. He writes that one of his first duties,
when he took up his present line of work, was to learn the name of
his position.
He writes further: "It does not seem like fifteen years since we
went out from Princeton, partly due, perhaps, to my having shaved
off my beard, which one of the ladies said makes me look forty years
younger. The years have brought me my share of changes and
have left me still busy, still the husband of one wife and the father
of one child. The first year after graduation I spent in the Princeton
Theological Seminary and the following two years at Union, gradu-
ating in 1897. I was ordained to the ministry in May of the same
year. After remaining for some months as Assistant at the Central
Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn I assumed the pastorate of the
106
First Presbyterian Church of South Framingham, Massachusetts,
twenty miles from Boston.
"I stayed in South Framingham for seven years, during which time
the church edifice was completed and the mortgage debt which had
been standing for some years, was paid off. In the town I was
trustee of the town library, an elective office, and did a good deal
of work in the No-License League as Secretary, Treasurer, Editor of
the campaign paper, etc., at various times.
"Resigning at South Framingham I went to New York state as
Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Milton-on-the-Hudson. A
year and a half later I left to enter my father's business — hardware
and police equipments — on account of his broken health. Other
interests eventually bought in and I left to engage in the above named
charity in New York City. During the year 1907-08 forty-five
thousand applications for relief were received at our office, twenty
thousand of these being from homeless individuals. Though not
of the active pastorate I am still in a very practical ministry, and in
addition preach from time to time, having done so ten times in the
last three months and a half."

Van Cise is Assistant Actuary of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society of New York.
He writes : "I am happy as a king in my Httle daughter, who
arrived not long ago, and am trying to make a little wind-shield
thick enough to keep out the wolf. I began the study of medicine
in 1896 at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.
My health gave out and I went to Florida for some years, where I
met Gaddy Drake prospering in the fruit business at Miami, Doty
on his honeymoon, and many junior alumni. Am doing well up
here now and have ac(|uired the degree of "P.F." (pater familias)
and some degree of prosperity."

Batavia, 111., manufacturers of agricultural implements.
"Tell the boys", he says, "that my wind-mills, feed cutters, corn »
shellers, corn buskers and grinding mills ought to be in every '94 /
home. I can show you more than 57 varieties of diplomas and
medals and more prizes than Bill Sykes took at Commencement, all
showing that I am the real little white-haired boy with Cyrus and
Reuben, by heckie. My out-drop is working fine. You can put me
in for the whole game, but I think from Friday to Tuesday ought
to hold me."

ber 7th, 1907.
Frank P. R. Van Syckel
p r b Irvington-on-Hudson, N. Y.
Van Syckel is teaching at the address given above. He writes that
he graduated with the Class of 1896 and should not, therefore, be
enrolled with '94. However, before leaving Princeton he passed
through the trials and joys of Freshman and Sophomore years with
'94, so the Class latch string always hangs out for him.

Wadsworth is in the United States Customs Service in New York
City and is Acting Deputy Surveyor. Class globe-trotters make a
note of this. "Wad" doesn't tell us to look him up on the dock, but
surely it can do no harm to give a '94 cheer and start a "Clio Hall
this way", just for the sake of the old days, you know.
September 5th, 1900. Wadsworth married Georgianna Brady..

its kind in the United States, having been established in 1775.

George Washington) University, Washington, D. C, in 1896. For
two years following he engaged in the practice of law in that city,
and thereafter in Philadelphia, until a little over a year ago when he
was elected to his present position.
He writes that the contrast between practicing law and making
112
bottles is rather startling but that he has found the work very con-
genial. It keeps him tied down so closely, however, that he does not
see as much of Princeton men as he used to, save an occasional trip
to the great city, which, he says, "helps some."
"Dud" is a member of the Princeton Clubs of New York and
Philadelphia.

George Howard Williams
p Circuit Court, St. Louis, Mo.
r 7 Windemere Place, St. Louis, Mo.
George H. received his LL.B. from Washington University in
1897 and is now Judge of the Circuit Court of St. Louis.
He writes : "In 1906 I was elected to the Circuit Court, which is
our court of general jurisdiction. The term is six years. One
fourth of that time is spent in a criminal division for the trial of
felonies. There are three divisions for the trial of such cases. One
of the judges in the criminal divisions presides also over the Juve-
nile division. On entering my work I drew a criminal division plus
the juvenile and at once became engrossed in that most interesting
field of judicial labors, devoting about half my time to each. The
criminal was easy enough but so many sociological considerations
enter into the juvenile trial that it took fully six months to become
familiar with the neglected and delinquent urchin. Last July I took
up a civil division. My best work thus far on the bench has been
a revision of all forms used in Juvenile Court procedure and the
preparation of a new uniform Juvenile Court law for the state.
Since then I have done what I hope every other man in '94 has —
taken an active interest in municipal politics. That is the unsolved
problem, and college-bred men in St. Louis are just awakening to
their responsibilities in that direction. My vagary is golf and I
am serving my second term as President of St. Louis Field Club,
one of our oldest and best golf clubs.
Am a member of Pilgrim Congregational Church and my interest
there is especially in the development of the work along social lines.
My two boys have a firm belief that no four footed beast compares
with the Tiger. When the roll is called in June I'll be there, and
when we sing the glad songs there'll be "smiles through our tear
dimmed sight" for the old pals who have seen the sunset and evening
star and have answered the one clear call."
H4
June I2th, 1900, George married Harriet Chase Stewart and they
have two boys :
Stewart, born August 24th, 1902, and
Howard, born June 7th, 1904.
George Weems Williams
p r 407 West Lanvale St., Bakimore, Md.
h Maryland Trust Building, Baltimore, Md.
"Judge" Williams is a member of the law firm of Marbury and
Gosnell of Baltimore and has shoals of clients. One of them is the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway Company.
George gets his title by virtue of the fact that the powers that
be of the Monumental City had him slated for a judgeship at the
time of the last elections, but George refused to allow his name to
be used. He is also a member of the Park Board of the City of
Baltimore.
He has been admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Under matrimonial data the Judge is very uncommunicative. One
of his '94 bachelor brothers in Baltimore says : "There is a dinky
little rumor circulating here, etc. I am not in "Ha-Boy's" confidence,
but when a man breaks ail records by sitting on the water wagon
for fifteen or sixteen years it's high time for him to break out in a
new place."
Williams received the degree of LL.B. from the University of
Maryland in 1896 and his A. M. from Princeton in 1897.

William Griffith Wilson
Died December 31st, 1908, Baltimore, Md.
Wilson was in the real estate business in Baltimore. His health
for the past three years had been such that he could not devote his
best energies to his work. "Chuck" was a very ardent and enthusi-
astic Princeton man and the Class has lost a member whose loyalty
was ever constant and to be counted upon.
In his will he provided :
"As a small token of the loyalty I feel to the Class of 1894 of
Princeton University, of which I was a member, I give and bequeath
the sum of fifty dollars ($50) to J. MacN. Thompson, William F.
Meredith and George Weems Williams (all members of said class)
and the survivor or survivors of them if I should die before June,
1919, in trust to purchase with the said sum of fifty dollars ($50)
and any interest accruing thereon a silver loving cup, suitably in-
scribed, and to present the same at the twenty-fifth reunion of said
class at Princeton, which will take place in the year 19 19, to that
member of the class who shall at that time have the largest number
of children then living, the above named persons to have full power
to decide by lot or otherwise between members of the class having
equal claims for said cup."
George Williams is also executor under the will.

of Philadelphia and is a member of the House Committee.

p r 24 Park Place, Newark, N. J.
h Prudential Building, Newark, N. J.
Wright is back at the law once more, after a term in the lower
house of the New Jersey Legislature. He is a Democrat of the old

Applying Cy Heath's famous expression to "Teddy's" political
misfortune — "his foot slipped" at the 1907 election and Edward
Henry was sent back to the minor leagues.
"I fought the bosses and got mine," writes Ted. "No good
Democrat has a chance until Bill Bryan goes to roost. While I am
waiting you can say that I'll sign for a legal job with any old trust
any day." Wright is a member of the Princeton Club of New York.

Orange, New Jersey.
