Book Description

Excerpt from Report of the Trigintennial Meeting With a Biographical and Statistical Record: Of the Class of 1867, Yale; 1867 1897 My Dear Classmates: If any apology is necessary for the long delay incident to the preparation of the "Trigintennial" Record, a word as to its arrangement will convince you that time and labor have been the two important factors in accomplishing the work. The previous Class Records, published in 1870, '73, '77 and '87, have been almost entirely revised, to admit of interesting Class data and items. The order of arrangement in the biographical sketch of each member embraces: (a) The name of his father and mother, and the place and time of his birth. (b) Where he fitted for College. (c) A short sketch of his Ancestry. (d) What occupation he has been engaged in since graduating or leaving the Class, up to the present time. (e) His marriage, the birth of children, what schools they attended, etc. Also the deaths that have occurred in his family. (f) The College Societies he belonged to, and the honors and rank he obtained while in College. photographs of each member, so far as I have been able to obtain them, form an important feature of the book. The plan of having two photographs of each member on one page, the one representing him as he looked when he graduated and the other as he now looks, had its origin with the Class of '62, and our Committee adopted their idea.
