The preliminary pages give in copious detail descriptions of various meetings and reunions which have taken place in the years all four of them since graduation and then lists every member of the class along with "Where Are They Now" biographical tidbits that make my mother's Christmas letters look tame. These are followed by various cross-indices by place of birth date of birth "the aggregate age of the Class at graduation was 1978 years" time of entrance profession etc. Then are listed those who "left without graduating" in decreasing order of years of attainment poor William Ross Degarmo "Entered from Fort Miller N.J.

May 1912." 9 x 6 inches 19 pp including nine half-tone photographic plates in original stapled wrappers. Some soiling to first page moderate general handling wear. William Henry Heard 1850-1937 was born into slavery in Georgia. After emancipation he worked as a farm laborer but pursued every opportunity for education during his free time eventually enabling him to attend the University of South Carolina and secure a teaching certification. He served briefly in the South Carolina State legislature and in 1878 he joined and became an active member of the African Methodist Episcopal A.M.E. Church. In 1895 Grover Cleveland appointed him Consul General to Liberia where he also served as Superintendent of the Liberia Annual Conference of the A.M.E. Church and spearheaded construction of the first A.M.E. church in Monrovia. In this scarce pamphlet Heard provides the A.M.E. General Conference with an assessment of the state of missionary work in Liberia and Sierra Leone. He reports favorably on the situation in Sierra Leone but says that the work in Liberia is "more in name than in fact" due to insufficient funding and poor sanitary conditions which result in sick missionaries returning to the United States every few years and "disorganizes and hinders the progress of our work." He makes several recommendations for change increased salaries and travel allowances purchase of a boat to replace the canoes currently used for river travel and provides lists of receipts and expenditures for 1908-1912 and missionary appointments for 1912.
