"At a meeting of those who belonged to the Class that graduated at Harvard College in 1818, on Commencement Day, at Dr. S. Plympton's in Cambridge, a strong feeling of regret was manifested that the practice which sprung up soon after we graduated, of procuring a Class-Book, in which each member should insert such portion of his biography as he deemed proper, should not have originated earlier. For the last twenty years such Class-Books have been kept. For the purpose of adding strength to the sympathies and enjoyments of our class-mates who survive, the subscribers were appointed a Committee to collect the leading facts in the history of each member" -- circular sent to members of the Class of 1818, dated August 15, 1849.
