Excerpt from Class of 1889 Harvard College: Thirtieth Anniversary, 1889-1919; Eighth Report of the Class Secretary, June, 1919 It is to be noted that the facts stated in these Class lives are only those which have occurred since June, 1914; for all facts as to the previous life of each man, reference should be made to the Twenty Fifth Anniversary Report. I have, after urgent persuasion, secured from Bentley, Cabot, Davenport, Gerstle, Lydig, Moore, Morse, Perry, Proc tor, Ropes, H. M. Sears, Stone and W. H. Warren, more full accounts of their experiences in military, surgical, Red Cross, and other official work in the Great War, than they were otherwise planning to send to me. These accounts, being of historical value, will, I believe, alone make this Class Report worth while. Since it has been determined to hold a less elaborate (and wifeless) celebration this year, I have included in this Report a full account of the Twenty Fifth Anniversary, in order to make permanent the memories of that really wonderful oc casion. Finally, I take this opportunity of saying to all my Class mates (especially to those who were lucky enough not to be obliged to listen to my utterly inadequate speech of thanks, five years ago) how deeply I appreciated and always will appreciate the compliment bestowed upon me by them, on June 16, 1914, in the shape of the superb silver bowl, platter and ladle - the beauty and utility of which I so greatly enjoy, but the inscription on which I even more highly prize.
