THE CLASS OF 1828, with a list of the publications of its members. HARVARD COLLEGE. THE CLASS OF 1828, WITH A LIST OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF ITS MEMBERS. On the death of Dr. Henry I. Bowditch, Jan. 14, 1892, the material relating to the history of this Class, which had accumulated in his hands, as its Secretary, was with the assent of the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop, the President of the Class, sent to the College Library for preservation. Seven members of the Class only survived its Secretary, and one of these has since died. Among this material is a Class book, a large folio with the title "The Records and Biography, etc., etc., of the Class of 1828. [Motto.] John G. Norwood, Secretary and Biographer." The record begins with a meeting held Feb. 26, 1828, in the Senior year of the Class. The eighth meeting of the Class, Aug. 25, 1829, was its first annual meeting, and then yearly gatherings were kept up till 1840, after which they were of less frequent occurrence. The thirty-second meeting was on Commencement, 1878, when the Class had been graduated fifty years. The Class at graduation had fifty-three members, and at the Class dinner on June 24, of this year, fifteen were present. "There are supposed to be only four other surviving graduates and as many more of those who were with us a part only of our college course," says the record made by the Rev. Charles F. Barnard, then the Secretary. The same record preserves the speech made by the President at the table, and that of the Hon. George S. Hillard, who was present but unable to speak, so that his speech was read by the President. The last meeting of which record is made is the thirty-sixth, in the sixtieth year (1888) after graduation, when Mr. Winthrop spoke for the Class at the Commencement dinner, six members of the Class attending. The last record in the book is made by Dr. Bowditch relative to his meeting survivors of the Class at the Commencement of 1889. The Class book also contains a history of the Class fund, which in 1882 was turned into the treasury of the College for establishing (when it amounts to $3000) a "scholarship of the Class of 1828." The required sum was reached in 1889. The rest of the volume is devoted to memorials of different members of the Class, including printed slips, letters from and concerning members, with details of their career, and often, photographs or engravings of them. The enumeration includes those also who belonged to the Class but did not graduate. Dr. Bowditch succeeded Mr. Barnard in the secretaryship in 1881, and the extent and fulness of the record of the Class have come in large part from his assiduity. Supplementing the Class book is a volume called "Various Memoranda of the Class of 1828: printed documents and letters to and from members or their friends, with a few reminiscences of some of the classmates from youth to age." It includes an account of the "Semi-centennial Gathering of the Class on the evening of June 24, 1878, with Commencement exercises, etc." It also contains the correspondence, etc., of the Class in "The Quarter-millennial of Alma Mater, 1886." A third book is called 1888. Our Sixtieth year, with various incidents, letters, etc." The following passages from Mr. Winthrop's speech in 1888 summarizes the activity of the Class : "Sixty full years having elapsed since my Class received their degrees, the few survivors, agreeably to an honored usage, are called on to present themselves at this festal board to-day for a farewell recognition, and they look to the President of the Class to say a few words in their behalf. Only ten of us are left among the living out of the fifty-three whose names are on our roll, and many of the ten are prevented from being with us by the remoteness of their residence or by personal disabilities. . . . “And yet I do confess, Mr. President, that as I cast my eyes back to that Commencement Day, sixty years ago, it somehow does seem a long, long way off; and I look around in vain for any of those who gave it a special attraction and distinction. It was certainly a day not to be forgotten, and there were men sitting side by side on that Commencement stage of whom we may not soon see the like again. We had, indeed, no President of the College on that day. The beloved Kirkland had resigned, and the honored Quincy had not been elected or even named as his successor. The venerable Henry Ware, the Hollis Professor of Theology for half a century, signed our diplomas as vice-president and presented them to us with tremulous hands from the old Holyoke chair. But around him, as members of the Corporation, were Joseph Story, the eminent associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Nathaniel Bowditch, the author of the Navigator' and the translator of the 'Mécanique Celeste,' and the accomplished Francis C. Gray, too often forgotten among our Harvard worthies. Levi Lincoln, too, was with them, the excellent Governor of Massachusetts. Good old Dr. John Pierce of Brookline was here to line out the hymn which we have just sung to the tune of St. Martin's.' Edward Everett and Daniel Webster were among the Overseers; and, foremost of them all, John Quincy Adams was here as President of the United States, who, I cannot but remember, just twenty years afterwards, fell on the floor of the House of Representatives while addressing me as Speaker, and died in my official room at the Capitol. . . . "We had a poet-not a Longfellow, not a Holmes, not a Lowell, but a poet of no common promise, in James C. Richmond, who has left some lines of which we were proud at the time, and of which we are not ashamed now; but who, perhaps, had too many of the eccentricities of genius for the clerical career in which he lived and died. But we had other classmates who would have responded to this call, if not in poetry, in words of worthy prose, far more impressive than any which I can command. George Stillman Hillard, to whom our highest honors were assigned, would have spoken here to-day, we all know how eloquently, for his voice has been but recently lost to us; Gilchrist, the late chief justice of New Hampshire; Russell, the eminent naturalist; James Jackson, the rising hope of the profession which his father so long adorned; Nichols, the incomparable proofreader and critic; Barnard, the Warren Street Chapel philanthropist, whose place as Secretary of our Class is now filled by my friend Dr. Henry I. Bowditch; Chapman, Fox, Loring, Dana, Gilmor, Welford, I may not attempt to recall more names, but I certainly can say nothing about the survival of the fittest' in view of such losses. I may not speak of the living; but I should not be pardoned, I should not pardon myself, were I to omit the name, and something more than the name, of one more among the early dead, who was the very pride and glory of our Class- though, by some accident or oversight, the second honor was awarded to him instead of the first. I refer to Charles Chauncey Emerson, who died so sadly within eight years after he had taken his degree. If anyone here is ignorant what manner of young man he was, and how great was his loss to us and to the world, let him turn to the tribute paid him by his elder brother, the late Ralph Waldo Emerson, and contained in Mr. Elliot Cabot's charming biography. There is nothing more tender and touching in Tennyson's 'In Memoriam'or in Milton's Lycidas,' or in the Agricola' of Tacitus, or, I had almost said, in Vergil's exquisite allusion to the young Marcellus. Listen to a sentence or two of this most impressive and impassioned lament of our foremost classmate's death by him who knew him best, and who was best qualified to speak of the immense promise of his maturity: 'He had the fourfold perfection of good sense, of genius, of grace, and of virtue, as I have never seen them combined. How much I saw through his eyes! I feel as if my own were very dim. He was born an orator, and looked forward to the debates of the Senate on great political questions as to his first and native element. And with reason; for in extempore debate his speech was music, and the precision, the flow, and the elegance of his discourse equally excellent. I shall never hear such speaking as his; for his memory was a garden of immortal flowers, and all his reading came up to him as he talked. Who can ever supply his place to me? None. I may (though it is improbable) see many as cultivated persons; but his elegance, his wit, his sense, his worship of principles - I shall not find them unitedI shall not find them separate. The eye is closed that was to see nature for me and give me leave to see; the taste and soul which Shakspeare satisfied; the soul which loved St. John and St. Paul, Isaiah and David; the acute discernment that divided the good from the evil in all objects around him — in society, in politics, in church, in books, in persons; the hilarity of thought which awakened good-humor and laughter without shame, and the endless endeavor after a life of ideal beauty - these all are gone from my actual world and will here no more be seen. "I may be excused for having dwelt so long on Charles Chauncey Emerson, for he was my hum uring the only year of my having a room within the college walls. We spent our Senior year together in No. 24 Holworthy, and my latest associations of college life were thus with him. We read a little of Plato together occasionally for a year or two afterwards, while we were studying law, and kept up our familiar intercourse and friendship to the end. But he was soon called higher, and I might have been pardoned for exclaiming: 'Heu, quanto minus est cum reliquis versari quam tui meminisse!'' LIST OF MEMBERS. Joseph Angier. Born at Durham, N.

Lucy Rathbone of Albany; Olivia Yardley; Vincent Yardley (H. C. 1875), physician in Boston. Dr. Bowditch prepared two bibliographical lists of his writings, one of which is in the Class book, and the other in a volume in the Class library marked "Monographs. Bowditch. Vol. 2." In printing the following list the last-mentioned is taken as the basis, but a few data are added from other sources and from the other list. The Classbook list is prefaced as follows: "June 20, 1885. To-day I permanently put here this short resumé of the evidences of my life-work, hitherto. I presume I have virtually finished my course and I trust that I have generally kept the faith to my own convictions of whatever it was right or expedient to do, as the occasions have arisen. It has been my good fortune to be an humble, but active, earnest worker in the grand events which have led to the final destruction of . . . slavery... During all these years, however, I have clung to the profession of my choice. . . For further details I must refer to my мs. Glimpses of Life-work." In the мs. preface to the first volume of his "Monographs" as bound by him for the Class library, he says: "In certain trains of thought and action I do not think my life has been vainly or mis-spent. ... I have at times a greater force from a certain 'inspiration,' which compels me to act and to speak in a manner and for certain ends without the least thought of others (especially opponents) save in a determination to compel them to believe as I have believed. I look back now (1887) on those days of inspiration with unmingled satisfaction. Among them I call to mind the Latimer times, and their results in the State; the years spent in urging physicians to believe in Thoracentesis, and in the law of soil moisture as provocative of consumption first proved by me for New England and three years afterwards rediscovered by Buchanan of London, to hold good in England. I remember with joy my necessarily persistent but successful efforts to persuade Congress to establish a proper ambulance system for the fighting armies of the Republic. Subsequent to the peace I remember with joy the years of patient but delightful work which our State Board of Health carried on, by which we endeavored to indoctrinate our people with the laws of health, climate, and race influences, as governing intemperance, etc. Mingled with these I see a silver thread of purely religio |
