which think am justified in saving was .
marked by unusual strength. In my own
! feelings and believe in those of all the /
other members OF the class he was regarded .
with iilial reverence and love. Nor did .
that regard cease with college life. Soon .

/ ton the good doctor made me IL friendly
visit. In making my annual visits to my
fathers house in ShOreham it was my
custom to divide the journey into two
stages-this was before the days of rail.
rOadS-and ] always made Burlington the
end Of the first stage and never
failed in those early days to call,
going one way or the other, on tine
beloved teachers, DR.. Marsh and Prof.
Benedict They were associated in my
early reverence and regard. They are to
me most littlngly COMMUNICATED by these
memorial windows, standing side by side,
Us they always stood in my heart. ] would
gladly have contributed, If permitted, to
the expense of the earlier window. viii
mention one incident that occurred in my
experience Ill those days, which VIII
show the natural tenderness and
simplicity of the good Doctor
heart. One evening as | rose to
take my leave and go to my hotel the doc
tor invited me to spend the night and
share his room with him-whiCh was then
his library, study and sleeping room, and
so earnestly insisted upon it that | did so,
and thus may boast OF Il mark of regard
in the same way. ! think he had Il great
affection for all the original members of
our class. We were perhaps, II peculiar
class. With the exception of one occasion
have no recollection that he had cause
or at any rate was ever moved openly to
reprimand or cenSure us in any way. On
that occasion when he would have been
Justified III using the severest language,
and in imposing some penalty, he
; simply expressed 50 much sorrow that we
l.I Ill t..Nt
that we We're overcome and ever after
gave him the best that was in us. As
a further proof that the class
of 80 was peculiar, will state that it dit
+ tered from all other classes that have
| known in that it graduated more mem
belS than originally entered-not from
any process of evolution by which it is late
! ly discovered that most things come about,
l but by accessions from without. SIX
; members entered In lS32-One of whom
c fell away-and seven graduated in 49,
y Two OF these seven have died-Une, Ed

Il Marsh-the other Franklin Butler

- one other, Il late accession to the class
disappeared from Burlington shortly altel
he graduated and has never since beer
heard from-but never having fairly allil
atcd with the original member, We have
felt no great interest IN his fate. Another
peculiarly Of the class is that no two U
