Author Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of Members (1853-1898) The few important facts in the life of each member have been gathered from the class records deposited in the Uni versity library, to which Mr. Van Name has kindly given us access. The incompleteness of some of these records, both of entire classes and of individuals, has made adequate treatment of such cases impossible, but for all other shortcomings of the catalogue the Committee alone is responsible. The last catalogue (1780-1852) contains the names of 1640 members: the present one 1300 members - a total of 2940 in the 118 years of the Chapter's existence; of this number about 1240 are now living.
