Excerpt from Statistics of the Class of 1857, of Yale College The number of speeches reported in the account of our Tri ennial Meeting is, I believe, unprecedented. I have therefore thought fit to abridge one or two of them, for which I hope I may be pardoned. I desire to urge upon the Class the fact that it will make my labors much lighter if they will, without any applica tion for information from me, promptly notify me of any changes in their relations to the community. I wish to be informed of all ordinations, admissions to practice law or medicine forma tions of business copartnerships, academical or university degrees, travels to foreign lands, returns home again, marriages, births, deaths, appointments to offices in the gift of the people or of the people's servants - in short, tell me of any personal news that the man who sat next you in chapel would like to hear, or ought to hear, whether he like it or not. Lastly, let no one of you fail to be In new-haven to attend our next Class-meeting In July, 1863. And so, with my best wishes, and my sincerest regard for every one of you, my classmates, farewell!
