Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Harvard College Class of 1885: Secretary´s Report No; II, 1888-89 To the Class of Eighty-five : - It was my sincere hope, apart from all selfish motives for escaping the work, that this second report of your secretary to the class should be entirely the work of your first choice for that office, Walter A. Halbert, and as such, when completed, a cherished souvenir of a most beloved class-officer. It was he who began the task, now more than a year ago, and to him is due the credit of obtaining by far the largest part of the material for the report in the form of the lives which follow. Even after he had felt obliged to resign from the office of secretary, he continued the preparation of this report, and only gave it up when he found that his continued ill-health did not enable him to do more work than his regular daily duties called for. Since that time the work of completing the report has been my care, and it is for me to bear the responsibility for any defects or errors which appear in it as it stands. In the Lives, I have endeavored to let each man tell his story in his own words as nearly as possible. Where any one has failed to throw information returned on his blank into the form of a sketch, I have endeavored to do it for him to the best of my ability; and where, as has sometimes happened, no return whatever has been made in reply to my numerous entreaties and autograph letters, I have had to supply such defects either from personal knowledge of the actions of the delinquents, or by inquiries among and information supplied by other classmates familiar with them. It has been my aim to have the returns as complete as possible, and I have made every endeavor to reach even those among the temporary members of the class who have never made any previous returns to class documents or inquiries. The result has been gratifying, and the report will be found to contain at least something about every one of our one hundred and ninety-one graduates, and about all of the temporary members, except four.
