Excerpt from Decennial Record of the Class of 1880: Of Union College, 1880-1890 Ten years have wrought but few changes in the membership of the Class of '80. A single asterisk dots its muster roll - a single member from the sixty odd classmates who graduated from the Freshman class thirteen years ago, has passed over the great divide. It is a vital record probably unequalled in college history, and although in our case as in many others, death chose a shining mark for his fatal arrow, we may count ourselves most fortunate that our ranks are to-day so nearly intact. So swiftly and silently the years sped by that we hardly realized their passage, or stopped to count them, till the decennial anniversary of our graduation was close upon us. We had scarcely noticed the annual change in the final numeral of the year of our Lord. It was only when in a single night the 8 became a 9, we awoke to a stern realization of the fact that we were ten years away from the year 1880. Yet the decade has wrought neither decadence nor decay. Sobered a little, perhaps, by the growing responsibilities of the passing years, our lives are broader and deeper, more evenly balanced, better adjusted to our several environments, and therefore more useful, more charitable, more successful and, on the whole, perhaps, more happy. The principal events in the history of individual members have been followed in our former bulletins, and are carried forward to date in the pages which follow.
