BowDoN COLLEGE CLASS '25.-The Rev. j.
s. G. Abbott writes to the Independent as
follows concerning the famous class in which
be graduated from Bowdoin College in 1896
"George Cheever and learned our alphabet
together; Longfellow and were classmates in
school, fitting for college; Hawthorne is paint
ed upon my minds eye, as, silent, solitary, with
melancholy mien, he walked the college
grounds; Jonathan Cilley. who might have
been one of the greatest men in the nation, but
who was early shot by Graves in q duel at
Washington, rises sadly before me. In the
preceding class was Frank Pierce, with whom
have had many tassle to sec which should
throw the other on tie bed. Socially he was
one of the most loveable of men, and his wife,
Jane Appleton, the friend Of my childhood, was
certainly one of the most beautiful and accom-
plished of women. Pitt Fessenden, ruddy
boy of seventeen, was admitted by all to be the
'smartest' little fellow in his class. Calvin
Stowe was the wit. You could generally tell
where he was by the roars of laughter. John
P. Hale, in lower class, was an incessant
joker. His fund of humor was exhaustless'
He had the ability to make frst-class scholar,
but his genius led him in other directions. S.
S. Prentiss, or little Prentiss,' as we always
called him, was mere boy in college; but he
was then brilliant, chivalric and the soul Of
honor No one who knew him could be sur
prised at the brilliant career which opened be-
fore him."
