Thencanic alumnus William Bellerjeau ("lazy Bill") thanks the Society for making him an honorary member alongside various other notables from the Spanish-American War and U.S. government.

At the end of the 1904-1905 academic year, the Thencanic Society held a reunion banquet for its members and alumni, the product of which was this booklet.

A note: Trentoniana owns two copies of this booklet, which are identical aside from the autographs section. The first three pages of the attached PDF cover the entirety of the first copy, while the final page is the only unique part of the second.
