Excerpt from The Fifieth Anniversary of the Class of 1861, Yale College: With Biographical Sketches With very few exceptions our non-graduates have remembered with warm interest their connection with sixty-one; and we have been able to give in our Class Reports full sketches of nearly all. Not a few have had careers of great usefulness and in a marked degree honorable to themselves and to the Class. At our Fiftieth Anniversary and in this last of our longer Class Rec ords it has seemed a fit time to present in summary form some of the special lines which the activities of the Class have followed, namely, the connections of sixty-one men with Colleges and Universities; the part our men have taken in public life and government service, includ ing the humbler, as well as the more exalted positions; and also a list, up to date, of the books published by members of the Class. The bibliog raphy of one hundred and eighteen books in one hundred and thirty-two volumes is a creditable testimony to the intellectual activity of a class, numbering ninety-seven graduates and sixty-one non-graduates. The articles, papers, etc., contributed to periodical or other publications have been listed with the individual biographical sketches in this and preced ing Records.
