Excerpt from Harvard College, Class of 1870: Secretary's Report, 1910 The prolonged and at one time alarming illness of the Secretary has delayed the issue of the Class Report. Everybody Will rejoice with the Committee that the crisis seems to have been safely passed, and that the Secretary Will soon be able to resume his work. In the period between the Report for 1900 and that for 1905 there were nine deaths. In the period between 1905 and Commencement Day, 1910, Chamberlin, Fitz, Francis, Kidder, Nye, Sargent, and Wood ard were taken. Since Commencement, Chapin, Jordan, Rich, Rod man, and Worcester have died; bringing the number of living members to 86. Chapin's heart had troubled him for a number of years; Jordan, Rich, and Rodman had all been invalids for a considerable time; Worcester, whom we all remember as a type of perfect health, died sud denly. Rich went on the class automobile trip, and came to the dinner, and enjoyed them both. He said afterwards that, although the fatigue was considerable, the whole thing had been a great pleasure to him. Of the Temporary Members of the class, Badger has died since the last Report.
