Excerpt from A Directory of the Officers and Alumni of the University of Rochester, 1850-1895 Previous to the year 1873, the Triennial Catalogue which had been issued by the University of Rochester, contained hardly any thing more than a list of each class printed in Latin. The edition of 1873 was printed in English, and gave certain information of general interest with reference to each of the graduates. This was followed by the General Catalogue of 1879, carefully prepared under the able supervision of Prof. W. C. Morey, '68. No General Catalogue has since been published; but in 1887 an Alumni Directory was issued, carefully compiled by Assistant Librarian H. K. Phinney, '77. Since its issue many changes have taken place and a new and revised list of the Alumni has been greatly needed. To meet the general desire for a new edition, this Directory of the Officers and Alumni is issued under the direction of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees. It is not intended, however, to supersede, but only to anticipate a new General Catalogue. The impossibility of making a perfectly correct list of the graduates contain ing all the requisite information is readily apparent in View of the absence of complete records, and the difficulty of reaching all the Alumni. Proof sheets of class lists have been sent to at least two members of each class for revision. The response has been quite general; and although there has been considerable correspondence, and great care has been taken to render the present list accurate and complete, it cannot be expected that it is entirely free from errors. The attention of the Alumni is especially urged to a care ful perusal, to the end that proper corrections may be made, and mistakes be eliminated in subsequent editions. We repeat the suggestion made in the Directory of 1887 that it is greatly to be desired that some member of each class should act as a permanent class secretary with whom all the other members should keep in communication, and he himself be in correspondence with the Uni versity. This Directory contains the names of those persons only who have received degrees from this University, or have been officially connected with its Board of Trustees or Faculty. If those also were recorded who have at different times been students in the various classes, the number would be more than double.
