YVe wish the student may lind something in its pages which may benefit himg the friend, something which may please him, and the alumnus something which may strengthen the ties, which bind him to his Alma Mater. Surely, of making of books there is no end. This is the only U Reserve which we shall ever issueg our work is done. But it will be the task of future generations of Adelbert men to carry it on from where we have left it to that perfection which we have aimed at.

BERNADOTTE PERRIN, Ph. D. PROFESSOR OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. ROFESSOR B. PERRIN was born in Goshen, Connecticut, September 15, 1847. His father, the Rev. Lavalette Perrin, D. D., was the pastor of the Congregational church in that town, and a graduate of Yale in the class of1841-0. He was one of the best known ministers of that denomination in the state, and for some years before his death, in 1889, a member of the Yale Corporation. Mr. Perrin's school life began in the district school and country academy, but when he was ten years old his father removed to New Britain, Connecticut, and his son spent the next six years in the graded schools of that borough. The last two years of his prepar- atory course were passed in the Hopkins Grammar School at Hart- ford, under the instruction of Mr. S. M. Capron, well known as an educator and called the Dr. Taylor of Connecticut. In 1865, Mr. Perrin entered the freshman class at Yale, graduating in 1869. Among his classmates were Professors R. B. Richardson of Dart- mouth, H. A. Beers of Yale, H. T. Terry of the University of Tokio, Moses Stuart Phelps of Smith, and President F. A. Scott of Rutgers College. During his sophomore year Mr. Perrin took the first prize in both of the English Prize Competition contests, and all his work was characterized by marked thoroughness and delicacy of finish. His' classmates noted his steady progress, and every one of his recitations has been described as that of a man who had thoughtfully gone over the lesson, giving an account of himself. The result was that at graduation Mr. Perrin received the appoint- ment of a Philosophical Oration. 10
