Book excerpt: Excerpt from Class of 1885, Harvard College, Vol. 7: Secretary's Report, No; VII, Twenty-Fifth Anniversary, 1910 To the class: Herewith is presented the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Report of the Class of '85, being Report VII of the secretary. It is intended as a permanent record of many facts, besides a statement of the activities of members during the period since the publication of the last report. The class "lives," the pictures, the tables and statistical matter have all been gathered and made especially for purposes of record, in conformity with a practice among the classes in their twenty-fifth anniversary reports, which has been developing for the past twenty years and reached the present completeness of treatment a very few years ago. Because of the size of the book no attempt has been made to reprint in form adapted to date professor Gardiner's excellent monograph, and map, "Harvard, 1885-1905," published in Report VI, pp. 117-137 inclusive, or any similar treatment of university development. In preparing for this anniversary and report the secretary has had some touch with every member of the class except Collins, and with every temporary member except Ferris. Such as it is, with no claims and with no apologies, this report goes out as requested and directed by the class for publication at commencement, 1910. With it go hearty thanks for and full appreciation of the assistance which the men in responding have rendered to make this book possible. Henry Morland Williams, Secretary.
