Excerpt from Eleventh Report of the Class of 1871 of Harvard College: June 1921, Fiftieth Anniversary Classmates: In compiling this Report I have followed the system now generally adopted in Class Reports of printing the individual records in alphabetical order, regardless of whether or not the men were graduated with us; believing that all who were at any time connected with the Class are entitled to the same consideration and treatment. In the words of the Secretary of the Class of 1893, referring to temporary members, "Unless we are prepared to set a separate table for them at the Class dinner, why deny them a free and equal place in the intellectual feast of a Class Report?" It has seemed desirable also to incorporate in it the substance of what has appeared in former Reports, in order that we might have in one volume a fairly complete record of the Class for the past fifty years. Formal resolutions have been omitted, but personal tributes prepared by classmates have been retained. I had hoped in the early spring to have the book ready for distribution at Commencement, but have found numerous difficulties in getting together the data desired, particularly in the case of those who have passed on, and in a few instances I have been reluctantly compelled to give up further effort. I have been unable to get any recent information about Rhodes or Wentworth, so have marked them lost, but if any of you can give me any clues in regard to either of them, I shall be glad to make further effort.
