Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vicennial Record of the Class of 1887: In Yale College To the Class: Thanks to those who have aided in the preparation of this book, and regret that its appearance has been so long delayed, are the two thoughts which demand expression in this, the last word for the Vicennial Report. The delay, I take wholly upon my own shoulders, extenuating my fault only by reference to a large number of calls upon my time and other personal reasons connected with my business. The forbearance of the Class I have always relied upon and have never been disappointed. Even now, its pages would not have been ready for your perusal had it not been for the devoted labors of William Savage Burns, who, with diligence, skill, and cheerful sacrifice of time has done a very large part of the work of preparation of the biographies. The Bibliography is entirely his work and represents much labor in the best libraries within reach. To him I extend the most hearty thanks of the Class and myself. Without enumerating them, I also wish to thank others of the Class, who, by written and spoken suggestion, and by supplying the photographs from which many of the illustrations are reproduced, have contributed much to make the book what it is. Who some of them are, will be apparent from a perusal of the pages which follow. It will be noticed that the biographical sketches have been made more complete than in former reports, by the addition of information concerning parentage, preparation for college, relationship and other facts dating back of entrance to college. While these items may not add very largely to the present interest of the Report, it is hoped that they will add to its value as a permanent record.
