Excerpt from Apocrypha: Concerning the Class of of Harvard College, and Their Deeds and Misdeeds During the Fifteen Years Between July, 1866, and July, 1890 When the Secretary sent out his first report, we were in the first flush and vigor of manhood. We have now reached the prime of life and the crown of the pathway. That out of our full number of ninety-two we have lost only fifteen during these twenty-five years is not only an illustration of the longevity of educated men, but speaks well for the temperate and manly character of our class.
