Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Record of the Alumni and Non-Graduates of Amherst College, Vol. 2: Classes '72-'96; 1871 1896 Errors will undoubtedly be found, although the greatest care has been taken to render the record accurate. Isome already noticed have been corrected in the supplement. Information received while the work was in press up to the date of Oct. 23, 1901, has also been inserted in the supplement. Probably nine-tenths of the statements have been taken directly from the returns, but even these may err, as conflicting dates have been given at different times. After writ ing for correction in some instances and receiving the reply Wis dom comes with age, the last is the correct date, the editor has usually accepted the last report. In some instances where no return has been received, the occupation, places and dates have been taken from the annual list of addresses published by the college. The arrangement adopted in the first volume has been followed in the second, making the report as brief as possible, avoiding all eulogies and stating the simple facts of each life without comment. The same general order has been followed in giving the record of each alumnus and non - graduate. 1. His personal history before entering college. 2. His professional or business life, including both the study and practice of his profession with the facts arranged chronologically as far as possible. 3. Official positions held, books or pamphlets published, and honorary degrees received. 4. The death of deceased members, marriage and number of children.
