"And he did open his mouth, and from it there did come out
words sweeter than honey." He once translated to us a passage
in the Inferno where the damned are suspended, head downwards,
with the burning flames resting upon the soles of their feet.
"Ah," exclaimed Bachi, "they do curl up their toes."
My class is not one of the very famous classes of the College.
Certainly it does not equal the class of 1802 or the class
of 1829. But I think it was, on the whole, very considerably
above the average. In it were several persons who became
eminent scholars and teachers, and some who have been eminent
in other walks of life. I think, on the whole, its two most
distinguished members, entitled to hold a greater place than
any others in the memory of future generations, were Dr. Calvin
Ellis, Dean of the Medical Faculty of Harvard, who died in
1883, and Judge Nathan Webb, of the United States District
Court of Maine, who died in 1902. Neither of these had very
high rank in the class. The first half of the class used
to have parts assigned at Commencement in those days.
