Mcllwaine entered upon his presidency. He regarded this as the first class passed through its course under his administration, and I vividly recall his parting ad- dress to us on our graduation day, in which he referred frequently to this fact, and pledged to us his interest and friendship for the coming years. One extraordinary fact is that no member of '86 has died since our good-byes were spoken on the old campus twenty-one years ago. Of the class, nine entered the ministry, two of whom served in the foreign field, and one ofthe nine later gave up preaching and entered upon a business career. Five became lawyersg two studied medicine, one of whom, however, is both physician and minister, and so must figure in two lists. A large number have taught for a while, but three gave themselves per- manently to educational work, and a fourth was engaged in teaching when last I heard of him, which was some while ago. It is significant that only one of the class chose a business career, and that only after years spent in professional work. This class filled a prominent place in college life, and as a body was highly es- teemed by Faculty and students. In all its literary, religious, social, athletic, and forensic activities, the influence of '86 was strongly felt. The collegiate honors were carried off by these three men, whose grades were notably high: First Honor, George VV. Lewis. Second Honor, Frank W. Morton, Third Honor, Clement C. Owen. CLAss Ros'rER I.
