Excerpt from Fifth Report of the Secretary of the Class of 1872 of Harvard College: June, 1881 June, 1885 IT was voted in 1881 that a Class Report should be published this year, and for that purpose the Secretary sent his usual circular to all the Class, to the addresses which he had. Only two were returned as not having been delivered, and one of those was subsequently sent to the right address. The following pages therefore contain all the information you have furnished me, and perhaps I ought to be satisfied in getting as many replies as I did. You may lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. So I may send some of you innumerable circulars, but cannot get you to reply. In some cases personal interviews have been necessary to get any information. The following record, therefore, is incomplete, and does not contain as much information as it might. I wish to thank those who responded promptly, as the majority of the Class did, and trust that those who did not reply will not blame me for the blanks which appear against their names.
