Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Harvard Class of 1852 With this purpose she wrote to Mr. Joseph H. Choate, who approved the plan and lent her many letters written to him self by the members of the Class shortly after leaving college. Judge Choate also, as may be seen by those who read, con tributed interesting anecdotes and explanations; and Mrs. Addison Brown has given great help by kindly copying, from an autobiographical fragment, Judge Brown's recollections of his Harvard days. But it is to Dr. Henry K. Oliver that the book owes most, and the debt is in truth inestimable. His wonderful memory was as accurate as it was retentive, and he was able therefore to explain the references in songs and poems, and to recall many forgotten events as well as ways and cus toms which have long since fallen into desuetude, and any interest that may attach to the Class Annals is largely due to him.
