Excerpt from Harvard College Class of 1890: Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Report, 1890-1915 It is also hoped that in this large and varied assortment you may find some face which you would really like to see again and with whose owner you would like to talk; and that you will come on to our Twenty-fifth Anniversary and 'do so. It will be worth coming to. We shall have Hapgood to tell us what is the matter with the world; Rublee to tell us what is the matter with business; Herrick, of Chicago, to tell us what is the matter with the literary public; Her rick, of Boston, to tell us what has been the matter with the Yale crews; and Page to tell us why a poet is not with out honor except in Hanover. It will be the one chance of a lifetime to march behind a brass band, at the head of the procession, to the Stadium on Class Day, lunch with our own Chief Marshal and see him head the column in the Yard on Commencement Day. Not until we have been out of College for twenty-five years more shall we again have a chance to see a member of our Class address the multitude at the Commencement Day exercises and talk to the President and Fellows and distinguished guests as an equal. The Anniversary Fund will have been raised, to what extent we do not now commit ourselves, and received by a surprised, and we trust not disappointed, Treasurer of the College, and all our troubles will have been turned over to our immediate successor, the Class of 1891. The Secre tary will promise not to send you any more importunate messages, and for five years you can look at his stamped envelopes without a qualm.
