DECENNIAL CLASS BOOK Eighteen Hundred Ninety 'five Amherst College EDITED BY THE SECRETARY 1906 FEINTED BY THE 60UTHGATK PKE68 T. W. RIPLEY CO., BOSTON, U. S. A. POEMS EEAD AT THE CLASS DII^^NER June 26, 1905 6 THE CLASS OF 1895 " Then in youth's fervor and passion you promised " Steadfast for truth and for justice to strive. " What have ye done with the talents I lent ye ? " Render accounting, oh Ninety and Five ! " Much with misgiving the children make answer. Meagre the increase their talents have earned. Scanty the laurels that press on their foreheads. Little remains of the lore that they learned. Logic, Latinity sleep sound forever. German and Greek are of little repute. Calculus fled o'er the Pons Asinorum. Dead is the ablative absolute. Angles and acids reverted to chaos ; Malthus and Carpenter no more extant. Even the man of priori cognitions. Tell you his name ? To save them they can't. Yet tho' the rules and the sums be forgotten, Never to trouble their slumber again, Hold thy head high, thou art blest in thy children. Mother of scholars and mother of men ! See them unnoted performing their task work, Firm in the faith that thou gavest their youth. Bearing thy message, wearing thy emblem, Purple for nobleness, white for the truth. Earnest, straightforward, clear-eyed, uncorrupted. Shirking no service, but giving their best. Careless of fame, and fearing but failure. Ranked with the right when it comes to the test. Amherst, thy sons fail not of their promise. Through them the hopes of thy heart shall survive. Well hast thou sown, fear not for the harvest, This is the answer of Ninety and Five. Wn^LIAM J. BOAEDMAN. AMHEEST COLLEGE THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH The graduate of Amherst who returns to its scenes of beauty drinks from the true fountain of youth. The views of mountain and of ^valley inspire him with new life, wliile the familiar surroundings remind him constantly of the time when he, as a student, first became deeply conscious of the central facts of history, literature, and philos- ophy. To see Amherst is to renew one's loyalty to the dear old college. I. 'Tis long since the courtly Spaniard came In his garb of steel and lace, With his ancient name and his puissant fame, And his subtle, languid grace. With many a knight in armor bright He sought in the land of flowers A fountain with sands of crystal white Enmeshed in the woodland bowers. He dared to dream that its sparkling stream Would freshen his blood with youth Till all the varied world would seem Enshrined in beauty and truth. II. Today, delighted, we bend the knee In a place where the magic grace Of youth is found eternally, — And we gaze with reverent face At silent and dim blue hills that rise On every side, and mount And melt in blue, blue depth of skies That grace the mystic fount. THE CLASS or 1895 The circled mountains weave their spell With serried peaks of blue. And ever in green-clad field and dell Are voices calling you, — The pleasant voice of the wind that comes With its balmy odor of pine And its hint of the place where the partridge drums In a tangle of bramble and vine ; The sob and sigh of the bending grass, The purl of the willowed stream, The varied insect voices that pass And come and go as a gleam Of light comes and dances and flees, — The voice of the hidden bird. And the restless, droning hum of the bees, — Like far-off music heard. Spread far about this ma,gic place The buttercup lifts its head; A thousand gTasses give their grace To petals of varied red. III. We live the life of long ago When the whole wide world was new ; We are young with the Greeks who heard the flow Of Demosthenes' speech and grew To be lovers and patient makers of art ; We feel ISTew Learning sweep From the conquered East and stir the heart Of a darkened world to leap AMHEEST COLLEGE Beyond the forms of an ancient past; We see old systems turn To new, and thought in nobler cast . Grow more and more and yearn With Hegel and Kant for the mountain height Of loftiest, noblest man Illumined with pure, eternal light That speaks of time nor span. IV. Again old voices, — again old dreams, — Again old hopes we know, — Reflected far from glorious gleams That came in the long ago. Yet still the eternal hills remain Blue and misty and far ; And we bless the mountain and valley and plain Where youth and its secrets are.

The first steps toward getting the Class back to the Decennial Reunion were taken by Belden, the president of the Class, in the fall of 1904. An enthusiastic mid-winter dinner was held at the Cafe des Beaux Arts in New York City, on Saturday, the 14:th day of January, 1905. About thirty men attended. A committee, consisting of Belden, Burnett, Lawson, Morrow and H. L. Pratt, was appointed to take charge of the coming Reunion. The Committee began work at once. Under its direction, three numbers of the Ninety-Eive Bulletin were pub- lished and sent to all the members of the Class. At the same time a systematic effort was made to reach each member of the Class with personal letters from his most intimate friends. So many men assisted the Committee in its work that it is difficult to mention one without doing injustice to others. Kimball, however, deserves special credit for rounding up the splendid Western delegation that was present. His Round Robin letters travelled up into Minnesota, down into Arizona, and out to the Pacific Coast, coming back to him safely with valuable data about men who had not been heard from for a long time. The Committee felt unanimously that the expense of the Reunion to the men who came back should be made as light as possible. Inasmuch as the members of the Class are widely scattered, the travelling expenses of some men would be much greater than others. It therefore seemed wise to ask the mem- bers of the Class to subscribe sufficient money to make it pos- sible to say that those who came back would be put to no ex- pense except their expense for meals while in Amherst. The response to the call for subscriptions was very gratifying. 14 THE CLASS OF 1895 Almost $1,400 was raised without any trouble. The expenses of the Eeunion were about $800, and there therefore remains in the treasury of the Class about $600 to be used for some col- lege purpose to be determined by the Committee appointed by the Class at the meeting held June 26th, 1905. The whole Class labored to make the Eeunion a success and every man who was fortunate enough to be there realizes that it was a success. Entirely apart from the large attendance at the Decennial Eeunion, the work done in preparing for the Eeunion has already shown itself in a strong revival of class spirit. THE OCCASIOIvT It is seemly that a narrative touching on the Decennial of Ninety-five should be written, yet the preparation thereof is an unenviable task for the reason that the most golden words must be as tarnished brass beside the aureole which crowns that event in the memory of its participants. Furthermore, the chronicle should not follow "total recall" (a thousand pardons!), but should dwell upon the more noteworthy events. But at the Eeunion, everything that was said or seen, heard or done, was a desideratum per se. Therefore, in the nature of things, the journal of the Decennial must be either very incomplete, or as bald as the poll of perfect pilosity. Priority of arrival from the outer world is claimed by Lane of waning strength and Barnes of waxing girth. Both reached Amherst on Thursday, but neither will commit himself as to the hour through fear of giving the other an advantage in the argument. According to the program, the colors were formally raised Friday evening. The item is correct if "colors" means hulla- baloo. Every fifteen minutes a newcomer would appear through the dark, and the trees turned green with envy of the AMHEEST COLLEGE 15 barks that greeted him. Threescore repetitions did not stale the enjoyment of welcoming a chap that had been beyond the horizon for years. Saturday morning it rained ^NTinety-five. They came in by every means of locomotion, except wings, and when we marched to Pratt Field with Wes Burnham in the van, the front ranks couldn't tell whether the rear guard were singing "Three Cheers for the Irish" or "The Banks of the Old Freshman." The game was between Williams and Amherst, and served as a curtain-raiser to the heroic struggle of Monday afternoon with the well-preserved Elder Statesmen of Eighty-five, which was lost because Pratt and Belden batted all the air away from the home-plate, leaving no atmospheric pressure tp make Bridg- man's pitching curly. That Saturday had an evening. It was brilliant. It was also long. It was not inaudible. "Let 'em all come" was the watchword, and none failed to be there. "Tight-wad" was not breathed until later. Above, around, beneath and sideways were sunlit clouds of joy, I was intei^ pocula, though I did not poculate, yet my memories of the evening are shadowy with prismatic splendors. A lull came about two o'clock, when Gus- sie Post put his Jim Hyde out of the window of the violent ward and spoke with weird words. Then five hundred mem- bers of Oughty-five, with, the whole Faculty and Board of Trustees, headed by an African with ivory-barred face and flut- tering feet came up the winding stair and whispered, like three thunder-claps, "Aren^t you thirsty?" Sunday was a day of rest. Only the laity and sinners had arrived at this time. I realized this fact as I peered around from my point of vantage during the Baccalaureate service in vain endeavor to catch a glimpse of some of my mates. George Olds found a seat for Mrs. Olds, ' and sidled toward the entrance, and I saw him no more. Doubt- less the absentees hold that fifty-one times a year is often enough to go to church. 16 THE CLASS or 1895 The only sad hour of the whole week was the afternoon memorial service for Lyall, Penny, and Warren. Monday morning the clergy arrived, and as I looked at them and talked with them, my best wish for the ministry of America was that it might never fall short of the sincerity and broad humanity which marks the clerical wing of Kinety-five. The dinner was the climax of the Reunion. The food was so good and so abundant that you wished the Korwood might cater for all banquets. Judge John Percival Deering presided and set a high example of tact, spontaneity and humor for all other toastmasters to emulate. I have been at many feasts where after wagging of teeth came waning of tongues, but I have never heard a better set of after-dinner speeches than those which were prima facie evidence of the freedom and grasp of N^inety-five's maturing mind. After Monday there were very few programized events. The Competitive Gym Drill did not happen because '55 found a technical fault in the challenge. Still we shied the dumb-bells, hit the punching bag and dropped bowling-balls on our toes after the ancient and orthodox manner. The receptions at the homes of Professor and Mrs. Olds and Professor and Mrs. Garman were affairs to be remembered. We wish that they happened to us oftener. The Alumni Dinner was remarkably like previous ones, and abounded with noise, wit, eloquence, and over-eating. A summary of the more prominent events depicts only the skeleton of the Reunion. To breathe Amherst air again, to gaze on her unrivalled horizon, to sit at Hitchcock Hall and look at your fellows, to converse with them, casually to praise them or, peradventure, amicably to insult them, to swap sere and yellow jokes, to go trolley-riding, to visit the Fraternity House, to peek into class-rooms where once you suffered, to clamber up Chapel Tower, to be glad generally, to feel as though, for once, you had got behind the looking-glass, these and other all-important and unf orgetable nothings were what AMHERST COLLEGE " -••< made up the real Keunion, for it was all things to all men. There were other doings, of course ; but the specific affairs did not really amount to much, compared with the abstract condi- tion of being alive at that particular time and in that particular place. Mention should not be omitted, however, of the little back room where the married and engaged men did funny things with red and white buttons, chanting intermittently a quaint recitative about "every time they do something or other, it costs a quarter." Mention of the married men calls to mind a brilliant and de- lightful fact. Without question the greatest advance that ISFinety-five has made since graduation is its broad-minded acceptance of the principle of co-education in its post-graduate course. Aforetime I had wondered if worthy successors to the perfect women among my elderly friends could be found in these days of slangy and sophisticated Amazons. All appre- hensions were set at rest by the wives of N"inety-five. IsTothing did more to raise my esteem of my class-mates than their selec- tion (it was really predestination, of course, but "selection" is a shorter word) of wives. Pessimism must be silent before so abundant, living proof that true womanhood shows no sign of perishing from the earth. The Eeunion was the most successful of all successes. It was pleasure unalloyed. It was stimulus to honorable achieve- ment. It was food and drink to optimism. It brought together a company of men that are of the kind the world needs. Some have made their mark, and we are proud of them. But emi- nence is not the greatest thing a man can have. It is only rela- tive and only a few may gain it. The thing that really counts is a shoulder at the wheel, pushing in the right direction. That is vital. That is absolute. That is the image which stands out most prominently in the composite picture of the impressions received at l^inety-five's Decennial. William J. Boaedman.

And there is only too little to say, as he died about three years after gradua- tion, on October 3, 1898. The disease of which he died Avas consumption; and during most of the interveij.ing time after he left college he was a very sick man. In the fall of '95 Lyall entered the architectural course at Boston Tech. But he overworked, and his health could not stand the strain, so he left Boston early in the year and came back to his home in 'New York, where he did some light work in an architect's office. During the following year he undertook to design and build two cottages in Twilight Park, in the Catskill Mountains for his father and a friend, and in connection with this work spent much of his time at Hunter, IJ'J'. Y., which is in the Catskills. The winter of '97, however, found him so much weakened that a trip to Phoenix, Arizona, was decided upon as a last hope. Perhaps he was unfortunate in the weather there, at any rate the trip was a failure. He returned to ISTew York, spent the summer at the house he had built for his father in Twilight Park, and died there in the fall. Clinton Bell and myself attended the funeral, which was held in that same house that he had built. So the career of Amasa Lyall terminated at its start; and the two houses in Twilight Park are the only pieces of his work that stand to attest his talent and ability. These, however, are remarkably tasteful and have repeatedly been called the hand- 26 THE CLASS OF 1895 somest houses in the Catskills. Especially that built for his father is a marvel of good taste, conscientiously designed and beautifully finished. I cannot adequately describe how excel- lently he has taken advantage of the romantic location and charming view, but I love to believe that it shows that had he been spared to this life, he would have won for himself a prominent place as an architect. Yet, while now his hand and brain can do no more work, his real lifework is still going on. For our achievements are in part his achievements. The generous sympathy he gave us, the ennobling influence of his character, and the intercourse we each of us had with him in these halls, have in part made us the men we are, and fitted us for our careers. But I find it a mighty consolation, when I grieve for this dear friend, with such great promise for success in life, who has been taken away at the very beginning of his work when he was making the first use of the attainments of the years of study we passed here to- gether with him — it is a great consolation to feel that the influ- ence of his virtue still lives and places upon us, as upon all who knew him, the duty to extend it by our own lives and achievements and so to be the instruments of his immortality. Alfeed Roelkee, Jk. Lyall had a nature that loved beauty, whether of form, or of color, or of deed. His room in college was an expression of self, for it bore witness to the harmony of his nature. Under his advice certain changes made in his fraternity house gave to his fraternity a lasting expression of his artistic gift. He hated the harsh notes of the voice, the boisterous roughness that is not akin to harmony of life, and, in equal measure, he loved quiet gentlemanliness. He was retiring in nature, and yet always ready to give kindly advice when his words might add to the beauty of other lives. He died, as was fitting, in a place of remarkable beauty. In him there was much that was akin to the melancholy but lovable natures of poets like Keats and AMHERST COLLEGE 27 Shelley. Like them, he did not live to put his beautiful ideals into many deeds. But deeds are not necessary. It is the ideal, the longing for something better, that counts. And just as Shelley and Keats have left upon the v^^orld their lasting im- pressions of the beautiful, so has Lyall left upon all who knew him that which makes their lives better. Fkedekick H. Law. THEODORE ATWATER PENNY Of Penny it is extremely difficult to speak. He came to Amherst from the West, from Idaho and Utah where his early life had been spent. Why he came I do not know, only that he desired an education. He was not naturally a scholar ; but somewhere, in some way, his ambition had been aroused and would not be satisfied short of an academic course. He had to work his way through college, as we know. He toiled on, how- ever, though it was severe, trying to overcome the disadvantages of his early years. Not many of us could or would have done it. Few of us knew Penny. Of his early life I know nothing. He came, raw, awkward, uncouth, yet with the heart and spirit of a man. Perhaps this very ignorance carries my imagination too far. But in his name, Theodore Atwater Penny, do I not see a trace of his lineage ? Atwater, it sounds to me like good old New England stock, the kind that in the early days went out and created upon the frontier the new states of the Union. Maybe I am wrong, but I can not help imagining that this is why he came to Amherst, so far from all friends and early sur- roundings. The quality that those of us who knew him best think of in connection with him is that of comradeship. He was one of us, always good natured, quiet, unobtrusive. He enjoyed sitting down with a group of men who were talking over athletic, col- 28 THE CLASS or 1895 lege or fraternity affairs, or telling stories and passing a jolly hour. There he seemed to be at home. We are glad to remem- ber him because he helped men by his genial spirit, his atmo- sphere of friendliness, his willingness to lend a hand when it was possible for him to do so. While he was in college he did good, faithful work. His habits were good. I never heard anything against him. And when he left college, from what I have been able to learn, he continued the same honest work as before, and gained the esteem and praise of those with whom he labored, l^ot only was the quality of his work good, but the influence that he ex- erted during the years of his teaching was spoken of, at his death, as of the best. Heney W. Lane. Life is more eloquent than words in a mature man that is a man. But some men die in the making. So it was with Penny. He must be judged by his promise, not by his accom- plishment. The few facts that I know about his life after college have come to me indirectly from people that saw him during that time. The external situation was the following: He went from college into a position as substitute in a school at Sing- Sing, ]Sr. Y. This position was regarded as an excellent one. He was next heard of at Dudley, Mass., where he became an assistant in Nichols Academy. Here he did work of the first order, especially in mathematics. Literature, too, he did not neglect, for he organized a w^eekly Shakespeare Club. He was a regular attendant at church, being present indeed on the very day in 1899 on which he was drowned while swimming. A lonely funeral service, at which not a relative was present, took place in the church at Dudley; and the body, taken in charge by Mr, Benner, a former instructor of Penny, but at this time teacher in a boys' school at Wellesley, Mass., was buried in the latter town. AMHERST COLLEGE 29 As to his life from within, his old instructor speaks in warm praise of its trait of perseverance. He was regarded in Dud- ley as a man of reserve, but a pleasant neighbor. Few felt that they knew him. Eastman, who saw him toward the end of his life, thought he showed marked signs of discouragement. You remember how Penny, the bell-ringer, summoned us month after month to our collegiate duties. So Penny, our early-lost classmate, is still summoning us to our duty toward his long line of successors in discouragement and loneliness, that need the friendly hand. Charles T. Burnett. HERBERT LAKIN WARREN Waeeen died on October 25, 1901, after an illness of two days, of Bright's disease. His life since graduation from Amherst had been just like his life in college, — quiet, unostentatious, kind, full of good results. He never had learned to live otherwise than he had been taught by his mother and father in a home cultured, re- fined, preserving the best of New England ideals. The year after leaving Amherst was spent at that home in Holden, Massachusetts, and the fall of 1896 Warren entered the Law School of Harvard University, desiring to know some- thing of the principles of the law as affecting business. Eor Warren always expected to enter business, for which he was by nature and by training eminently fitted. In the spring of '97 the opportunity came, and he established the Westboro Underwear Co., located in Westboro, Massachusetts. In this business he continued as long as he lived, increasing it in size and establishing it upon a sound and successful basis. In April, 1899, Warren was married to Katherine Sweet, of Canton, Pennsylvania, and his married life was singularly happy, spent for the most part at the beautiful home Warren and his wife made in Westboro. 30 THE CLASS OF 1895 Those qualities of fair-mindedness and charity towards others, which we saw in him in our college life, increased as he saw life in its broader aspects, and he constantly lived upon the principle that others who differed from him were, neverthe>- less, as honest and as conscientious as he. This characteristic brought the inevitable result of many friends and few or no enemies. Whatever perplexities or anxieties Warren may have had they were never evident to others. This was true because War- ren believed that the way to live was with an unruffled exterior, seeking to be contented after the best effort had been made, and never distressing others with those things which were a personal burden. The extreme proof of this belief of Warren's is found in the fact that though he knew for some three years that his health was far from robust, yet at his request neither his par- ents nor his wife were told of that fact. For, as he said, "They could be of no help, and it would trouble them." Warren is buried in his native town, Holden. It has been the good fortune of the writer to go frequently to the Warren home in Holden. There he always finds a kind and strong in- terest in the affairs of Amherst, and especially in the members and in the doings of the Class of IsTinety-five. Eecently War- ren's mother asked especially about the plans for the Re- union, about those whom we expected to have back, expressing a cordial interest in it all, and in us who had known and loved her son. Chaeles A. Andrews. HARRY LEMUEL TWICHELL Since the Decennial Reunion one member of our Class has been taken away, Harry Lemuel Twichell, or "Twich," as he was more intimately known to us all. He died of typhoid fever in ISTew York City, December 2, 1905, after an illness of three weeks. At the time of his death he was associated in the prac- AMHERST COLLEGE 31 tice of law, as he had been for four years, with E. S. Kounds, Amherst '8Y. The following extract is from an appreciation by Mr. Rounds, published in March, 1906, in the "Purple and Gold," the organ of the Chi Psi Fraternity. "Brother Twichell was still young, not in spirit only, but in years, having been born in 1873, at Burdette, Schuyler County, New York, where his father was pastor of the Presbyterian Church. His boyhood was that of any bright, active, and mis- chievous country boy, and the turning point in his life came in 1891, when he entered Amherst College, was initiated into Chi Psi and formed his friendship with Brother Frink, then profes- sor of rhetoric, who was a father to the boys of Alpha Chi and to whom Brother Twichell became greatly attached. Indeed, it was Brother Frink who, at the end of young Twichell' s course, gave him a fixed purpose by helping him to choose the law as a profession, and Brother Frink's insight is shown by his reference, in graduation week, to the ^energy, enthusiasm, self-reliance and hearty sympathy' which have been so strik- ingly shown in Brother Twichell' s later life. "Immediately after commencement the young graduate came to N^ew York City, where he took his LL.B. at the ISTew York Law School, paying his way during his course by teach- ing mathematics in the evening. "His admission to the bar followed in 1897, and after that came two or three years of practice and preparation and then he started his own practice. "This is no place to speak of Brother Twichell's skill as a lawyer, his enviable standing in his profession, and the good fight that he made to win his success, nor of his bright pros- pects of future honors. It is hardly the place to describe his personal charm and character, his geniality and sympathy that gave him hosts of friends; and the loyalty, unselfishness and sincerity that bound his friends so closely to him ; and his cheerful courage, high ideals and steadfastness of purpose that so impressed all who met him." 32 THE CLASS OF 1895 A memorial meeting in honor of Twichell was held at the Chi Psi Club in I^ew York City, December 18, 1905, by the Chi Psi Club and the Chi Psi Alumni Society of 'New York City, acting jointly. Twichell had been for a considerable period secretary and treasurer of the fraternity, a member of the board of governors, and one of the founders of the Club, and for some years secretary and treasurer of the Chi Psi Alumni Society of Kew York City. The burial service was held at the cemetery chapel of Au- burn, i^r. Y. COMMENCEMENT MISCELLANY 36 THE CLASS OF 1895 The class of '80 won over the class of '95 by only one per cent. The figures of the classes holding reunions this year are as follows : — Class 1880 76 1895 88 1902 115 1885 86 1899 99 1904 125 1875 45 1890 78 endance Percentage 53 69.73 60 68.18 55 47.1 40 46.5 39 39.3 38 30.4 10 22.2 18 21.7 It is interesting to note that save for the very exceptional record made last year by 1894, the classes of '80 and '95 have broken all other records. The beautiful cup is entitled to its meed of credit for the showing, but back of this jocular rivalry is plainly the feeling that Amherst is in good hands and de- serves well of her sons.

Republican, June 29, 1905] It was plain long before "Old Doc's" son had summoned the waiting classes to table that the "gym" wouldn't hold them all. As it was, some of the cub alumni of 1905 had to go somewhere else to eat, though they squeezed in afterward to hear the speak- ing and to help in the singing and yelling that was kept up through the dinner and speaking hour. A suggestion that next year the gallery might have to be cleared of their fair spectators to make room was met with a chorus of noes from the diners. Rev. Dr. George Washburn, formerly president of Robert Col- lege, Constantinople, now of Chelsea, said grace, and after din- ner James L. Bishop, '65, of JSTew York City, president of the alumni association, acted as toastmaster. President Harris was warmly greeted, and was in especially "good form" as he pro- ceeded with the account of his stewardship. The year's pro- gress, much as you have had it, was reviewed briefly, the presi- dent speaking with much cordiality of the personality and work of Professor Esty, who retires after long service as head of the department of mathematics. A welcome announcement by the president was that William R. Mead, '67, of the well-known l^ew York architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White, who has personally directed the restoration of College Hall, has promised a new bell for the chapel. It has been cracked for some time, and the church bell has had to be turned to secular uses. The president also spoke feelingly of the deaths of Rev. Dr. Donald and Rev. Dr. Burnham, trustees of the college, and announced that their places had been filled by the elec- 38 THE CLASS OF 1895 tion of Kev. Dr. Cornelius H. Patton, '83, formerly of St. Louis, and now secretary of the American Board, and Rer. Dr. Wilford L. Robbins, '81, of 'New York. There are about thirty more applicants for admission to the college than there were a year ago at this time. President Harris returned the toastmaster's compliment by explaining the service that the latter had rendered as counsel for Amherst in the Fayerweather will case, which had been finally settled, unless it should be appealed to the Hague tri- bunal. Mr. Bishop, in responding, paid a warm tribute to Mr. Fayerweather, who had benefited so many institutions of learning without the thought of attaching his name to a build- ing or a scholarship in connection therewith. Congressman George P. Lawrence gave a witty and eloquent speech for the 25-year class. Incidentally he called attention to the fact that President Roosevelt is a member of the class of 1880, though in another college. He suggested that the President may have feared that there wouldn't be enough strenuous life here, but he testified from a memory of twenty-five years back that hunting mountain lions would have been a peaceful pastime compared to reciting in chemistry to Professor Harris. And there were more "cracks" of the same sort and a glowing tribute to the college that was warmly applauded. Rev. Dr. Robbins, one of the new trustees, spoke briefly and forcefully of the value of Amherst's work as a small and not very rich college. The pur- suit of mere bigness was a danger of the times to be avoided. Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister, introduced as a naturalized member of the class of '85, was received with enthusiasm by the alumni rising. He addressed the gathering as "fellow alumni," much to their delight, and in a brief and witty speech paid tribute to Amherst and especially to the "un- equalled class of '85." It should be said that a good deal of the fun of the afternoon was made in the course of exaggerated eulogy of the classes of which the speakers chanced to be mem- bers. Sir Chentung was only loyal to his own. He aroused AMHERST COLLEGE 39 another burst of applause when he declared that he had joined the University Club in Washington, D. C, by virtue of his hon- orary degree received from Amherst two years ago. He thought it would add another Amherst man to the membership, and he believed in doing a good turn for "his alma mater" in little as well as great things when he got a chance. He spoke only as "one of the alumni" and not as a diplomat, for the good diplo- mat is the one who knows how to keep his mouth shut. Dwight W. Morrow, '95, of IsTew York made a decided hit with his speech for the 10-year class. It abounded in clever hits, chiefly for Amherst consumption. He declared that the class had grown from the 74 who graduated by the addition of 56 wives and 64 children, and of the latter 30 were born before the consulate of Theodore Roosevelt. The class had a captain in the regular army, a real live congressman and a real cap- tain of industry, who spent half of his time dodging the missiles of that distinguished altruist of Boston and the other half in trying to find a Congregational clergyman in 'New England who, when he offered him bread, wouldn't look for a stone. In closing he spoke of the value of the alumnus in returning now and then for new inspiration to where his castles in Spain looked as clear as when he first started in their quest. Grosvenor H. Backus of Brooklyn, JST. Y., president of the class of 1894, holder of the alumni trophy, then turned it over to the class of 1880 in a witty speech.

DBCElSriSriAL BUSINESS AMHEEST COLLEGE ^^ SPECIAL BUSINESS The following items of special business were accomplished at the regular business meeting held just before the banquet on Monday evening. These officers were elected for the ensuing five years : President, Belden ; Vice-president, Professor Olds ; Secretary, Burnett; Treasurer, Tyler. A committee was elected to raise from the class a sum of money to be used in the interest of the college, the special disposition of the fund so raised to be left to this committee. Its members are Morrow, Boardman, Burnett, and' President Belden, ex-officio. It was voted also that the Secretary be authorized to publish a class book, as a record of the Decennial ; that each member be assessed not more than two dollars for each copy desired ; and that the Secretary be authorized to call upon members for assistance in compilation of material for the book. At the direction of the Class, the Secretary sent a cablegram of greeting to ISTichols in Porto Eico. These further items of business were accomplished formally or informally during the Eeunion. The Secretary was directed to send letters to the wife and the mother of Warren, and the mother of Lyall, telling them of the memorial meeting held for the dead members of the Class. A very appreciative letter has since been received from Mrs. Lyall. Two large bouquets of American Beauty roses were sent to Mrs. Olds in acknowledg- ment of the special hospitality extended by her to the wives. Boardman was appointed a collector to raise one hundred dol- lars in two-dollar subscriptions for the running expenses of the next five years. The thanks of the Class were sent to Professor and Mrs. Garman and to Professor and Mrs. Olds for their hospitality. 46 THE CLASS OF 1895 REUNION EXPENSES The Executive Committee has made its report to tLe Class Treasurer of the receipts and expenses in connection with our Decennial Reunion, and has turned in the approved vouchers for all money expended, with a check for $304.80, surplus.

In addition to the above, $82.00 was collected and has been forwarded to the Class Treasurer for defraying the current expenses of the Class Secretary. There was also a special subscription, amounting to $45.70, which amount was expended in supplies at Amherst. (Signed) F. M. Belden. CLASS EKTERPBISES AMHERST COLLEGE 51 THE PEOFESSOR OLDS' FUND At the Triennial Eeunion in 1898 the Class appointed a committee, consisting of Herbert L. Pratt, Eoberl B. Osgood, and Dwight W. Morrow, to collect money from the members of the Class for some college purpose. As Professor Olds had always been closely identified with the Class, it seemed pe- culiarly fitting to use the money for his department. Sub- scriptions were sought from every man in the Class. Forty men subscribed. Each subscription ran for a term of five years, the amount of the subscriptions ranging from $1.00 annually to $10.00 annually. The total sum of money collected has been $379.61, of which $250.00 has been paid to Professor Olds, leaving a balance of $129.61 in the hands of the Treas- urer of the fund. The use that Professor Olds has made of the money is shown by the following extract from one of his letters : "This year, for instance, I have bought a set of compact logarithmic tables, which can be used in all tests. I have also paid for the materials to make a Plancellier Cell (to draw a straight line). IsTow and then we can buy a portrait of some famous old fellow to hang on our walls — again, some duplicates of library books to accommodate advanced students, as Garman, you remember, does with his class fund." How much "Georgie" has appreciated our small gift is best told in his own words : "It's the faith of you '95 fellows in me, your 'class boy,' that has been again and again the fairest reward of my college work." 52 THE CLASS OF 1895 HELP FOR CHARLES THOMPSON In the summer of 1902 the Secretary received a letter from Professor Thompson of the College, asking whether the Class would be willing to contribute ten dollars annually for the sup- port of "Old Charlie," the immemorial janitor of the old dor- mitories, now forced out of all work by the disabilities of old age. The case was such as to make a strong appeal to Amherst men. Other classes too were asked to join in this work. The Secretary has, on his own responsibility, undertaken to gather annually since then the sum mentioned, by soliciting subscrip- tions of one dollar from different members. He has so far not been completely successful, only thirty-three dollars having been collected. THE PENNY MEMORIAL It seemed fitting to certain members of the Class, about the time of our Quinquennial Reunion, that steps should be taken toward marking with a simple stone the grave of Penny in the cemetery at Wellesley. A circular letter was accordingly sent out to the members of the Class by the Secretary, stating the object in view and inviting small subscriptions. A sum of thirty dollars was thus raised. The execution of the project was left in the hands of the president, who appointed Eastman to take charge of the matter. The latter wrote to Penny's old home for permission to place a stone upon the grave. He received the following letter in reply: Wallace, Idaho, August 8, 1902. Lttcius R. Eastman, Jr., 10 Tremont Street, Boston. Dear Sir, — We have received your kind letter, and I assure you that we appreciate your respect and friendship for our loved one. We would not think of refusing you permission to erect the monu- ment according to your own plans, for it gives us joy to know that Theo's class have such deep respect and lasting friendship for him. Very truly yours, GERTRUDE PENKY. AMHERST COLLEGE 53 The enterprise was completed by the placing of the stone about the end of the year 1902. Penny is buried in a triangu- lar lot just large enough for one burial. The grave is marked by a simple block of gTay, Westerly granite, about eighteen inches in height and width and six inches in depth, with a sloping top. On the front of the stone is this inscription : Theodore Atwater Penny 1866-1899 Placed by his Class Amherst 1895 The character of the spot is described thus by Eastman: "Yesterday I visited the cemetery and looked at the grave. The cemetery is about a mile from the village of Wellesley, in the hills. It is a quiet spot, far away from houses and factories, and Penny's grave is near the top of a little knoll, under a tree which later should become a magnificent one. As I stood near the tree I had a splendid sweep of country spread before me. While it cannot be said that it is Amherst scenery, or like the stretches of country to which Penny must have been accus- tomed in Idaho, yet I could not help feeling that here, perhaps, was a spot which Penny would have liked as much as any in Eastern Massachusetts. "The cemetery is not an old one, but it is under splendid management; and everything about the grave showed the best of care."
