Secretary's Report, Class of 1890.

Secretary's Report, No. 1, of the class of 1890 has just been issued, It is comprehensive, and, with the exception of numerous typographical errors, is well made up. The statistics and comparisons are extremely interesting.

Ninety is the only class mentioned in the report that had a larger actual membership in the senior than in the freshman year. The number of men from New England, and the average age at Commencement (22 yrs. 10.8 mos.) are also greater than in previous years. In politics there is a marked falling off in the ranks of the Independents, and more have decided on the law as their probable occupation than on any other one thing.

Four deaths and seven marriages are recorded, but the class cradle still remains unawarded.

In all the honors of scholarship, deturs, second-year honors, final honors, honorable mention, and commencement parts, the class has a most enviable record.

The following general account with the addition of the balance of $2,451.61 turned over to the treasurer by the Class Day Committee shows a prosperous financial condition:

Total subscription, $8,470 00

First installments, $1,347 00

Anticipated payments, 651 00

Overdue accounts, 347 00

Balance not yet due, 6,125 00

$8,470 00

communications with regard to the fund may be addressed to the acting treasurer, E. A. Darling, 14 Matthews Hall.

The least said about the 'varsity athletic record while Ninety was in college the better.

Ninety in her freshman year lost the race with Columbia, and both games of base ball with Yale, but in foot ball she won the first geme won since '76, and since that victory no freshman eleven has ever been downed by Yale. In the various class contests, Ninety made an excellent showing.

The class will meet on Commencement Day, 1891, at some room in the yard to be announced later. Notices will be published in the CRIMSON, the Boston papers, and the New York Times. A subscription dinner will probably be held in Boston some time about Class Day, of which due notice will be given.

It is proposed to issue the next report in 1893, and later ones in 1895, and at intervals of five years thereafter. The secretary, Joseph W. Lund, 25 Hollis, desires that any information with regard to members of the class be immediately forwarded to him, and in return he will be glad to answer, so far as he can, any request for information.
