Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quarter-Century Record of the Class of Eighteen-Eighty-Seven, Yale College: 1887 1912 The unwritten law requires that somewhere between the covers of an '87 Class report there shall be found a bird's-eye View of the Class as a whole, showing its collective progress, its place in the greater army of Yale men, suggesting 'who wear the uniforms of commissioned and non-commissioned officers and how those men who march in the ranks meet the brunt of battle and the fatigue of the hike. The ranks of our division of the Yale army are not as full as they were in 1887, for there have fallen by the way nineteen and three-tenths per cent of all those who started-together from Center Church in June of that year. In other words, of the one hundred and fifty graduates, twenty-nine are known to have died, and one hundred and twenty-one are enrolled as living members.
