1876*

A query arose recently, very likely started by the approaching sixty-fifth reunion period, as to how many of the total roll of the '76 group had been responsible for the writing and publication of a book, one or more. Abbott, surely, in the translating into English of a dozen volumes, more or less, of Indian classics, which were published and circulated in India. These vollumes were translated in Abbott's latest years when he was living in Summit, N. J. .... Ely's books on economics are well known. A few years ago Ely published an autobiography Foster's contribution was a volume of verse. (It is to be regretted that Flint's macaronics and other verse did not find permanence in a small, choice volume.). . . .Several years ago when Hill was spending winters in California, and in contact with the Huntington Library, he compiled a volume on early American drama

Merrill was the author of three books, and the editor of a fourth. Soon after graduating he became interested in moose hunting, and the outcome was a book on the moose. He wrote, and also made in the arts and crafts sense, a genealogy of the Merrill family, which was unique. He did everything himself,—set the type, furnished the illustrations, selected the paper and did the printing. Only a few copies were made. For the Fiftieth of '76 he wrote a volume of sketches of the whole group, graduate and non-graduate. The volume Merrill edited was the letters written from England and Flanders during the World War by his younger son, Wainwright Merrill, Dartmouth 'l9 (1915-16). Prominent among the letters are those written to Charles Miner Stearns, Instructor in English at Dartmouth, 1914-18 Williams wrote several volumes on chemistry published by Ginn and Cos.
