Excerpt from Five Year Record: Class of Nineteen Hundred and Five Sheffield Scientific School Yale University It was the editor's intention to publish a record of the Class three years after graduation and with that end in view work on the collection of data was begun. Shortly after that time it was proposed by some of the secretaries of later classes that the Triennial book be omitted and a record published instead at five-year intervals. This plan I have adopted in this book, which is the first to be published of the suggested "five-year records." There are, no doubt, faults in the book, many things not appearing that should appear and some things appearing that should not appear, and the editor will be glad to receive any criticism of the work. A comparison of the locality index with the permanent address list will be of assistance in locating a classmate. The editor wishes to thank those members of the Class who have assisted him in this work; especially Dick Whittier and Alec Lawton for their articles on Triennial, Lowell Clucas for his account of the Alumni University Fund, and Cliff Bates for his account of Sheff since 1905. Much of the biographical work and the preparation and compilation of the statistical tables has been done by the Class Secretaries Bureau and the editor wishes to express his appreciation to the director of this bureau, Edwin Rogers Embree, for his personal assistance and counsel.

Advance praise for ATLANTIC "Atlantic is a stirring story that illuminates a magical period in our maritime history. Scott Cookman weaves the compelling plot in a manner that will fascinate both the landlubber and the sailor alike. The schooner Atlantic's transatlantic racing record has remained unbeaten for nearly a century-and the story behind the race makes that achievement even more impressive. Cookman has done his homework well and unfolds that story page by page . . . the reader can just about feel the icy lash of a North Atlantic swell crashing aboard as the massive sailing craft are driven toward their destination by men and women whose dreams and goals (and even the pride of their countries) hang in the balance." -Peter Isler, America's Cup veteran, author of the bestselling Sailing for Dummies, and Editor at Large for Sailing World "Outstanding. Cookman is equally adept at depicting the gut-wrenching tension of ocean racing; the politics, intrigues, and skullduggery of billionaires, society snobs, and sailors who make Captain Ahab seem the model of restraint; and a gilded, vanished era under the gathering storm clouds of war." -Neil Hanson, author of The Custom of the Sea "In 1905, the key to unlocking America's economic potential was swift travel across the Atlantic. Scott Cookman recounts in meticulous detail the fanatical race for maritime supremacy. Scions and captains of industry took the challenge by racing across the ocean." -Gary Jobson, America's Cup--winning tactician on Ted Turner's Courageous (1977) and ESPN sailing analyst "Anyone who has ever been to sea, or dreamed of a sailing adventure, will be captivated by this extraordinary seafaring story. It is a perfect balance of history, intrigue, and period personalities that will make your palms sweat as you rush headlong through storm and fog to the finish." -Rockwell B. Harwood, Commodore, Stamford Yacht Club (1999--2001)

Excerpt from Triennial Record of the Class of 1901, Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University The Triennial was a success. Every one present was in it from start to finish. Class spirit was present with every man and several had enough to loan others who stayed away through lack of it. This book is supposed to chronicle the events, to re-instill the enthusiasm, and to spread among us the informa tion of our classmates which we were unable to glean by questioning on the balconies of the Tontine. As a whole the 'class have responded very well to the various appeals of the Secretary, and if data is missing about any man it is only because every effort possible has proved of no avail to procure from him any response. In some cases this is due to wrong addresses, and at other times it is merely lack of inter est in the man himself, but as he is himself the greatest sufferer, he will probably next time mend his ways. The Secretary would like to take this opportunity to thank a number who have helped in gathering the information and in a financial way, for these few have made it possible to pro duce a book more worthy of the best triennial ever celebrated in New Haven. To Southard Hay he is also greatly indebted, not only for adding to the material of the book at hand, but also for his untiring devotion to the cause whenever a request, large or small, was thrust upon him. If there is any man in our Class or any other who has the interest of his class more at heart, it has never been the pleasure of your Secretary to meet him.
