Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of the Class of 1863 of Harvard College, June, 1888, to June, 1893 From recent investigation it appears that our classmate edward lewis stevens, who was killed at the battle of Boykin's Mills, April 18, 1865, was probably the last Union officer killed in the late war; and in this connection it is interesting to recall the fact that our classmate, horace sargent dunn, who died May 22, 1862, was the first Harvard undergraduate who died in the war. Certainly, then, the Class of 1863 can claim to have shown its loyalty to the country from first to last. There are few friendships in life so valuable and so endur ing as those formed in college days. They have a peculiar charm, which is fully appreciated by those only who have enjoyed them. They should be cherished, and are worth preserving. I know of no better way of accomplishing this than for us all to see and hear more of one another. If this record, then, shall answer the questions which one classmate would naturally ask of another at this time, and shall serve to rekindle our interest in one another, and shall strengthen the friendships begun so long ago, it will have accomplished its purpose. It will thus help us to renew our youth, and make a happy and joyous occasion on this thirtieth anniversary.
