Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard College, Class of 1864: Secretary's Report, No. 4; June, 1871 June, 1874 Time passes so rapidly, the months gliding almost imperceptibly into the years, that it is only when we meet some mile-stone on the road that we can realize how far we are getting along on our journey. When bidding farewell to each other and to our Alma Mater, we started forth to begin in earnest the work we had each selected as our own, the Triennial Reunion seemed so distant that we hardly gave it a thought; but even before some of us were fairly at work we had reached that halting place, had exchanged our hasty words of good cheer, had talked over the history of the past three years and the promises of those yet to come, and had again started on our journey. The years have flown by, and this Commencement finds us halting at the Decennial mile-post scarcely able to realize that our life's journey is nearly half completed. The Report which I have to present to the Class this year records naturally fewer changes than those which have preceded it. Most of us have only to record continued labors in our several professions and occupations; but it is a matter of congratulation that, in very many instances at least, these labors have resulted in marked progress. Some few have made changes in the character of their work, and those who, when the last Report was published, were still undecided as to their future career, have, for the most part, made their selection, and have fairly settled down to their life's work. Some have already acquired a reputation which bids fair in the future to add a lustre to the Class which claims them as its members.
