Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourth Report of the Secretary of the Class of 1871 of Harvard College: June, 1880 In presenting my Fourth Report, I take the opportunity to thank all who have sent me answers to the circular issued, and to sav to those who have omitted to send answers, that they alone are to be blamed for any mistakes in their records. The various points of interest regarding the Class as a whole, I have collected and condensed at the end of the report, to which I have added a statement of the finances of the Class and the min utes of the several meetings.
