Excerpt from Biographical Catalogue of the Matriculates of Haverford College: Together With Lists of the Members of the College Faculty and the Managers, Officers and Recipients of Honorary Degrees, 1833-1900The compilation of a Biographical Catalogue of the Matriculates of Haverford College was undertaken by the Alumni Association in 1894, when a committee of its members was appointed for the purpose.The collection of the necessary data was at once begun. To all matriculates or their representatives a letter was sent, enclosing a carefully prepared question sheet. The failure of many of those addressed to respond to the committee's inquiries necessitated an other communication. After prosecuting the work for more than two years, it became evident to the committee that the task was of such magnitude as to require expert assistance in order successfully to complete the work. In 1897 the services of Professor Allen C. Thomas as editor were fortunately secured. Through his long con nection with Haverford College, Professor Thomas was peculiarly fitted to undertake the work. To him the thanks of the committee are due for the great interest shown and the painstaking care used in endeavoring to make the volume complete and accurate. Through his untiring efforts during the past three years much information has been secured which it had previously seemed impossible to find. The records in the following pages are incomplete only in cases where the matriculates have died or have been lost sight of, or where repeated requests for information have been ignored and it has been found impossible to supply it from college and meeting records or genealogies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
