Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Class of 1872: Bowdoin College
The following notes were in part compiled and written by our late classmate, Dr. George M. Whit aker, who was the Secretary of the class at the time of his death, August, 1912. That same year and month the President of the class, Hon. H. M. Heath was also called away and the class was without organization until Commencement Day 1917. Then, at an informal meeting at Brunswick the undersigned was made Class Secretary, and there was laid upon him the work of securing the notes of Mr. Whitaker if they could be found, revise and edit them, and by correspondence with those members still living and with the friends of others, bring our class history down to date and prepare it for the printer. That he has tried to do; and with what degree of success the following pages will show.
The task, though requiring no little time and effort, has been a delightful one. My correspondence with classmates has given me great pleasure, and some personal letters from them have brought to me delightful tidings of them, their circumstances and doings-even from some who we feared had passed on over the Great Divide.
