Excerpt from Class of 1887, Harvard College, Vol. 7: Twenty-Fifth Anniversary, 1887-1912 T he following pages contain so much of the records of your lives during the last twenty-five years as I have been able to induce you to furnish. There are blanks, I regret to say, but unless this report reaches you before our reunion a large part of its value to those who have replied will be lost. I am there fore obliged to send it out not as complete as I wish. In a few cases I have supplied missing information from other sources, but in the main the information has been furnished by the men themselves, and as far as possible it is printed in your own lan guage. I f I have made errors in transcribing these reports, and undoubtedly I have, I trust that you will not only pardon my lapses, but will call them to my attention, that I may make such correction as may be possible. I have followed the custom of late years in these reports and have reprinted from the collection in the College Library the photographs taken in 1887, and beside them photographs taken recently. Several of the men did not have photographs taken in 1887 some of those and some others have not sent me any late photograph. Those who have responded and especially those who have so readily helped me by looking up delinquents and missing data, I thank most sincerely. Without their assist ance this report would have been incomplete indeed. Let me again thank the many men who have sent me such cordial greetings and good wishes with their communications. I regret very much that I have been unable to answer each one, and take this opportunity to assure you all that in spite of the reluctance with which some of you answer, the pleasure of get ting into touch with you all far outweighs the labor of preparing the report.
