They stand as follows: First, bankers, brokers, real estate and investment dealers, second, manufacturers, third, insurance men, fourth, lawyers, fifth, merchants, sixth, doctors and branches of the automobile trade! fa well balanced arrangement: the car runs them down and the doctor patches them upj g seventh, teachers, eighth, advertisers, archi- tects and contractors, ninth, packers, grocers and importers, hotel keepers, artists and writ- ers, and tenth-a sprinkling of newspaper men, radio and airplane dealers, railroad men, light and power men and printers. The line-up of professions in the 1886-1905 group was a little different in some re- spects, though the investment group also led, second, lawyers, third, manufacturers, fourth, merchants and insurance men, Fifth, teachers, sixth, engineers, seventh, publishers, editors and architects, eighth, packers, physicians and surgeons, ninth and last, contractors, advertisers, artists, judges, ministers, consuls, writers, shipbuilders-one or two of each. Letters have come in from many states, and from Egypt, South America and Europe, and they have been a real pleasure. If only time had been more ample, each one would have been answered individually, on the spot. As it is, the old boys and those not so old may know that they have really warmed our hearts with pleasant memories, and we hope that in this spirit they may read a-nd enjoy the collected notes which follow. We think it will interest you to see first the list of alumni sons and nephews now in school: Sam Maxwell-son of Augustus M. Maxwell. Lawrence Heyworth-son of Lawrence Heyworth. Bentley Harriman-son of Seelye Page Harriman. Raymond E. Daniels-son of Raymond E. Daniels. Max Wfurzburg, Hart XVurzburg-grandnephews of Milton Hart.

FOREWORD Twenty-five more years have passed, we are down to the present dayg the class of I93O has barely left the shelter of our wings to go to College, and that of IQZS has just been pushed out to make its way in the cold world. So this is more or less as Vingt Ans Apresf' If only we were Dumas, we might make the adventures of our many heroes a thrilling narrative. As we are not, you will have to take it as it is,-condone the errors, pardon the impertinences, and believe it or not. NVe undertake this task in a somewhat different spirit from the last, which covered the years 1886-19og. There we suffered the disadvan- tage of not having a personal acquaintance with most of the old boys, -of not knowing which were angels, and which the contrary, who tried to escape J0hnny's chill and watchful eye, and who tried Schoby's patience to the limit. XVe had many delightful letters from these old boys, and occasionally we even saw one or two,-gray haired and dignified gentlemen in private oihces guarded by watchful secretaries. One could not help being somewhat impressed by their rank and titles. QI-lowever, even so, one can't help making mental reservations, when they didnit or Wouldn't answer letters, we were sure it was because they had been very bad in school, and had been kept in for hours.j This time. many more of the old boysn are remembered with interest and amusement. One can not quite be impressed by them, even when their oiiices are labelled Vice-Presidentv-for just then one happens to remember how they threw spit balls, or dressed Mercury in bath towels on the Drexel Boulevard cupola,-or speared cottage puddings from Dan's back window. or stayed after school to learn Thanatopsis. And then, my dear boys, all your new dignity has vanished, and are highly entertained by it! PW 121 CE3 ll il iv ll li l ll I L l i l l l l i i i l l lliix l l i We li i l yl -DUI fi g.,f 'im-
