Excerpt from The First Report of the Secretary of the Class of 1862 on Harvard College: July, 1867 Classmates, - Your Secretary presents, in accordance with the vote of the class, such information as he has been able to gather of your vari ous histories and experiences during the past five years. In many cases it is meagre, but efforts have not been spared to make it complete. Ten years have passed away since our graduation, and changes have come over the class of 1862 as over our University. In the latter the changes are apparent enough, as we thread our way through the piles of brick and mortar which cumber the once beautiful yard, and which have even covered the Delta, but in the class the changes are not so visible on the pages of this Report. Death has been in our midst, and Davis, Hickling, and Ellis have left us. While the pages of this Report are being gathered, the tidings come from a distant land that Ensign, too, is dead. The meetings each year at Commencement have been well attended. Five of our number have been instructors in Harvard, one is now Professor. For the mistakes and omissions in this Report the Secretary begs the indulgence of the class, and trusts that during the next year they will at least inform him of their addresses.
