The Editor has also been much indebted to the successive pamphlet reports of the Classes of 854, 1855, 1856, 1858, and 1861, and to the personal exertions of the Class Secretaries from 1852 to 1864 inclusive. Especial thanks are due to Francis H. Brown, M. D., of the Class of 1857, Editor of the official ‘Roll of Harvard Students who served in the Army or Navy of the United States during the War of the Rebellion.’ Dr. Brown has devoted much time to the preparation of a Biographical Dictionary of all such students, living and deceased; a work which, it is to be hoped, may yet be published. The manuscript, so far as prepared, he has generously allowed me to consult.

The Editor would gladly have also embraced in these volumes, had it been practicable, the memoirs of certain graduates who died [473] during the war, and who were as truly enlisted in their country's service as any here recorded, though they wore no uniform and were mustered on no official rolls. The list might well have included, for instance, State military agents, like Francis Morgan Rotch (H. U. 1841),—Coast Survey employees, like Nathaniel Russell (H. U. 1858),—and teachers among the freedmen, like William Ware Hall (H. U. 1853, and Samuel Dunn Phillips (H. U. 1861). The objection was not so much that such additions would have further swelled the volumes, as that they would have substituted an indefinite for a definite line, and it would have been hard to know where to stop. The lives and deaths of such as these, though as yet unrecorded, are not forgotten.
