Book excerpt: Excerpt from Celebration of the Semi-Centennial of Tufts College, 1905 On December 31, 1901, the Trustees and the Overseers appointed a general committee, to arrange for celebrating the semi-centennial of Tufts College, as follows: Rev. F. W. Hamilton, D.D., chairman; Rev. W. E. Gibbs, D.D.; Byron Groce, Litt.D.; Arthur E. Denison, A.B.; Arthur E. Mason, A.M.; Edward H. Clement, Litt.D.; Rev. W. H. Rider, D.D.; Leo Rich Lewis, A.M.; Chas. Neal Barney, A.B., secretary. On November 2, 1903, a committee, consisting of President Capen and Professors Hooper and Lewis, was appointed by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to nominate a committee to represent that faculty in arranging for the celebration. On December 7 the following committee was duly nominated and appointed: Professors Anthony, Wren, Whittemore, Harmon, and H. G. Chase. Later, Professor Denison was substituted for Professor Anthony, and Professor Chase was made chairman of this local committee. These committees were prosecuting their work vigorously, under the direction of President Capen, and with his active cooperation, when his death, March 22, 1905, on the eve of the celebration, cast a shadow over all the succeeding exercises. The program agreed upon was carried out, however, with a few modifications. The baccalaureate sermon was given in Goddard Chapel by Rev. F.W. Hamilton, D.D., on June 11, and one week later Commemoration Sunday was celebrated, Rev. W.H. Rider, D.D., preaching the sermon. The exercises of Commemoration Sunday began with the unveiling of a bronze bust of Rev. Alonzo Ames Miner, D.D., second president of Tufts College. The act of unveiling was performed by Dr. Miner's great-grandnephew. Master Rollin Parker Adams. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
