Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of Princeton '77: A Fifty-Four Year Record of the Class of 1877 of Princeton College and University, 1873, 1877, 1927 In brief the Class of '77, which was drawn from twenty-seven States, came chiefly from Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, because Princeton never after the Civil War recovered her great former prestige in the South; this typical American composition had been brought up with man ners and customs derived from traditions of England, Scotland and Ireland with little other racial influence. It is not difficult, for example, to trace the very strong English taste of Pyne back to his father, who was of direct Eng lish birth, and to account for the son's love of English culture and of land scape gardening. The remarkable administrative and executive ability of Thompson and his courage in fighting the corrupt spoils system of appoint ments in the State of Delaware is of English type; many other examples could be given of our legislators, such as Biggs and our surgeons, such as Hartley.
