Excerpt from Report of the Secretary of the Class of 1863 of Harvard College, June, 1888, to June, 1893 His Report covers the last five years, from June, 1888, to June, 1893. The last Report was issued in 1888. It is not to be expected that many changes have occurred in our lives during this period. We have for the most part been travelling along the beaten paths heretofore marked out, and followed our usual pursuits. It is, however, an important period in our lives, when, in the full vigor of manhood, much is expected of us, and much has been accomplished. It has seemed to me, therefore, desirable to obtain the latest infor mation from the Class, that we might not lose sight of one another, and that the record might be kept complete. The record is in the main a bright and cheerful one, and we have reason to be proud of it. We have been especially exempt from loss by death since graduation. Out of one hundred and twenty graduates there are ninety-six now living. We have lost twenty-four class mates in thirty years. During the last five years evans, langdon, loring, marden, townsend, and M. D. Wheeler have died, and among those who were in the Class for a por tion of the course, A. F. Gould. I have followed the prece dent adopted in other late reports, and included portraits of these deceased classmates in this volume.
