The Decennial Record Of The Class Of Eighty Three Amherst College 1883 1893 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Decennial Record of the Class of Eighty-Three, Amherst College, 1883-1893 It is the hope of the one who has compiled the matter which fills this book that the perusal of its pages may continue and deepen the impression of the Decennial Reunion upon those who were so fortunate as to be present, and kindle the same enthusiasm in those who were kept away from that happy gathering. The records, which are now before you, confirm what was evident on every hand at the Reunion, that the Class is doing honest, successful, earnest work - work of which it need not be ashamed. It will be seen that several of its members are rising into the notice of the world by reason of their marked abilities. The Class has grown marvellously in power during the last five years, and, at the Reunion, there was a mutual respect for work well done, both hearty and sincere. The Secretary wishes he had the opportunity to analyze the record in detail, but the mass of material that was voted a place in the book has enlarged it so greatly that he is left only the opportunity to thank the many who aided him in its preparation, and to extend the greetings of the Class to everyone who was ever a member of it.
