He spent one year at Harvard, and entered Williams in the fall of '96 as a Sophomore. Branch has been one of the most prominent men in his class.

Branch expects to go into business. His future address will be 257 Fifth avenue, New York City. BROOKFIELD, Edwin Morgan, Delta Psi, Kappa Beta Phi, commenced his eventful career in New York City, Sept. 22, 1877. 'Cutler Preparatory School first awakened in him that appetite for higher culture which he has been endeavoring to satisfy at Williams for the past four years. Bess has given particular attention to the curriculum, and his capacity for keeping at a subject until he has passed it off is unrivaled by that of any other member of his class. He him- self says that the most valuable thing he has derived from his college course is friends. Mor- gan has taken a prominent part in the social life of the college. His future occupation will be busi- ness, and letters addressed to 516 Madison avenue, New York City, will reach him. BROWN, Fred LeRoy, had the singular good fortune to be born in Troy. The interesting event took place on july IO, 1877. Soon after- wards he began to attend the Lansingburg Acad- emy where he continued until he joined the class of ,QQ among the Berkshires. Brown is first, last, and always a student. The assiduity with which he has applied himself to the curriculum is second only to that of Billetdoux. I-Ie has been assistant librarian of the college during the last two years of his course, and has devoted considerable atten- tion to religious work. Like his scholarly rival, Brooktield, Freddie thinks friendships have been the most valuable result of his course. He received a. Commencement appointment. Brown will take post-graduate work at Harvard or Columbia after spending another year here. Future address, Wil- liamstown, Mass.

THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. has continuously held an honor scholarship since his Freshman year. Billetdoux has, moreover, done no inconsiderahle amount of work outside the curriculum, and is a member of the Honor System committee and secretary of the Classical Society. He played on the Freshman baseball team. He expects to teach after graduation. Future address, 4 E. Quincy street, North Adams, Mass. BCG-ART, Paul Nebeker, is a product of Clinton, Ind., where he made his bow to the world on july 2, 1878. He entered Williams at the beginning of junior year, where he has since applied himself to beating his way through the curriculum, and raising a moustache. As may be seen by a glance at his picture, he has been more successful at the former than the latter. As Paul himself says, the most valuable thing he has obtained from his college course is self-reliance, in which, by the way, he seems to have specialized. As the prizes for this year have not yet been announced, we are unable to give a more exact estimate of his scholarship. He has paid par- ticular' attention to Chemistry during his course, and belongs to the Physics Club and Chemical Society. Bogart expects to enter Columbia Law School next year. Future address, Clinton, Ind. BOLTON, Edward Rice, Delta Upsilon, Gargoyle, Kappa Beta Phi, was born in Hillsboro, Ill., Feb. 21, 1877. He prepared for Williams at the Geneseo State Normal School.

THE BOOK OF NINETY-NINE. BROWN, Samuel, first saw the light of day in the Emerald Isle, April 18, 1870. He prepared at Greenwich Union Free School, Greenwich, N. Y. Sam is physically the largest man in his Class. His broad shoulders and huge muscles have been the admiration of athletes and the terror of obstreperous underclassmen. He is a member of the track team, and won second prize in the shot-put in the '97 Syracuse and '98 Am- herst meets. Brown has specialized in Chemistry, is a member of the Chemical and the Philologian societies. He will study for the ministry at the Alleghany fPa.j Theological Seminary. His fu- ture address is Box 670, Greenwich, N. Y. BRUNO, Frank John, was born in Florence, Italy, on june 1, 1874. He prepared himself for college. Frank has devoted most of his time during the four years he has been with us to the curriculum and religion. His favorite study has been Natural History. He was vice-president of the Philologian Society, member of the Art Asso- ciation, and Y. M. C. A. committees innumerable. He has been one of the largest patronizers of the Hash House, and is the foremost critic in college. Bruno has also given considerable attention to debating, and is an enthusiastic supporter of that branch of college life. He expects to study at the Yale Divinity School, and letters may be ad- dressed to loo Halsey street, Newark, N. J. BUTLER, Guy Toland, was presented to his friends july 24, 1875, in the town of London, Ohio. He received his first lessons in scholastic training at the Columbus Latin School. Guy has been a vigorous exponent of what is known as high life, and his determined bearing and cheerful dis- position have made him a winner with the fair sex. He believes that college is likely to make a man feel his incompetence ever to master any branch of knowledge completely, and has accord- ingly aimed rather at general culture and wide views than profound work in any particular depart- ment. His future occupation he refuses to divulge, but all mail for him should be sent to Box 210, London, Ohio. CARR, Lawrence Whitney, took up the burden of mortal cares August 26, 1876, at Ashby, Mass. He prepared for Williams at Cushing Academy. Carr has attended faithfully to the curriculum, and maintained a uniformly high average. He has besides played on his class baseball and football teams, and been largely instrumental in creating and maintaining the eminent position held by the Williams Chess Club. FRANK HRUNO. l . GUY T.
