Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard College Class of 1898: Quindecennial Report June, 1913 To the Members op the Class of 1898: I herewith submit the Third Report of the Class, and sincerely trust that it will meet with your hearty interest and approval. I had hoped that the Report would be completed and in your hands before you journeyed to Cambridge for that wonderful Quindecennial celebration, but my hopes were blasted and the work delayed by that ever-present band of procrastinators who are the bane of every Class Secretary, but who finally yield and send in their "lives" after repeated personal letters, telephone communications or telegrams. Incidentally I might add that these men should be made to realize that their dilatory actions try the patience and temper of the Class Secretary and place an added strain on the class funds. Truthfully, however, I must confess that the preparation of this Report has given me the deepest satisfaction and pleasure. I have done my best to make you all say, in your own way, what you have accomplished during the past fifteen years. I have striven hard to make some of you realize that membership in the Class of '98 really means something. I have striven harder to draw that bond of comradeship just a little tighter so that we may all be better '98 men, better Harvard men. If I have succeeded at all in my efforts, I shall be happy. Since the publication of the Second Report, July, 1907, it is my sad duty to record the death of the following eleven men: Herbert Claude Kahn, Ernest Wilhelm Sutton Pickhardt, Leland Emerson Bristol, Charles Winthrop Cutter, John Butler Swann, John Flint, Waldemar Koch, Henry Wood Fowler, Howard Curry Mason, Newell Cheever Cook, Louis Henry Martin. In the preparation of this Report I have endeavored to record the names of all men who appear in the Quinquennial Catalogue as '98 men; this in order to make my records conform with those of the University. Some of these men received their degrees with the Class, but as their affiliations are with other classes I have merely recorded their statistics.
