Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Class of I869, Amherst College: Light, 1889 My Dear Classmates: A second edition of the History of the Class of 1869 of Amherst College, covering the entire period of twenty years since our graduation, is now offered to your kind consideration. It was planned to have it ready for distribution at our reunion at Amherst, July 3d, but a delay of a few days has become necessary. The great majority of the class have responded to the appeal for information with a promptness most delightful, but a few have waited for a second or third prodding, and they must bear a large measure of responsibility for the delay, Our most efficient Secretary, W. Reynolds Brown, gave the undertaking a vig orous start in the circular letter sent out last March. Since then the pressure of his busi ness cares has been such that the task of edit ing the material gathered has devolved upon the undersigned. There have been many pleasant features of this work, and if the result prove of any interest and value to you, and serve to strengthen the bond of classfellowship, I shall feel amply repaid for the time and trouble it has cost me. The im portant matter of publishing the history has been under the supervision of Donald, who very kindly assumed that care. Errors and omissions cannot of course be avoided with the utmost precaution against them. Your indulgence in this matter is confidently asked, and an early correction will make future work of this kind easier and more complete. Five more of our number have won stars in our record since 1879 - E. A. Adams, Emmons, Fuller, Warn, and Chittenden. Adams and Warn died on the same day, January 7, 1882. With the exception of L. E. Wells, M.D., everyone, both of the graduate and non graduate members, has been heard from. The pages devoted to statistics with their totals of eighty-seven boys and seventy-four girls are pleasant reading, but the frequent stars upon these pages Witness that some of our number have passed through deep waters, and call forth our loving sympathy.
