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.

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.
