Excerpt from History of the Class of 1866: Union College; Reunion, June 23d, 1891 Classmates: In its physical aspect Old Union has not materially changed since the Class of Sixty-six left its halls. The once sleepy old town has, in the interval, doubled its population and is slowly enclosing the college grounds, but the unfilial Alumnus who revisits his Alma Mater for the first time in a quarter of a century will find campus and pasture, terrace and "gray old walls" far less affected by the tooth of time than he is himself. In Captain Jack's garden the syringas overarch the paths as in days of yore and drop their perfumes on strolling lovers; the old elm stretches its great arms above the green, and "the brook that bounds through Union's grounds" is still there - after a hard shower. It is only when he begins to search for the faces linked with memories of college days that he realizes how far the flood of years has carried him. Of the Board of Trustees who came in solemn procession to vote him his sheepskin and sit in judgment upon his Commencement oratory, not one remains in active service. Two only survive in well-earned retirement - Dr. J. Trumbull Backus and Judge Platt Potter. The Faculty who chastened his youthful genius have been only less leniently dealt with. The Fathers, where are they? Hickok, Lewis, Jackson, Pearson, Newman (?), Stanton, Gillespie, Welch - all have joined the great majority. A few still serve their generation in other callings. Professor Chandler holds an eminent position in Columbia College and in the civic life of New York. Professor Clark is Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, with headquarters in Boston.
