Excerpt from The Class of Fifty-Eight: University of Michigan, 1858-1913 I cannot tell the pleasure it was for me on our Fiftieth Anniversary in 1908 to have all the living members of our class, except two, as my guests in the grove that we planted on the campus around the Oak, which fifty years previous, we dedicated as the Tappan Oak in honor of the grand old man, Henry P. Tappan, then President of the University of Michigan. Goethe said, in his introduction to Faust, Give me back my youth; give me back the days when I was forming. I would say, Give me back the days when I was forming and give me back the classmates I had in the University of Michigan; give me back the old professors and Dr. Tappan, friend, teacher, and President. After all these years of work and study, I know to appreciate their value, and I know how to value great teachers and the higher education.
