Of the 35,158 alumni Williams has produced since its founding in 1793, 74 percent are still living, according to the College Archives. Based on data collected from the General Catalogue (till 1930) and the Course Catalog, the number of Ephs receiving diplomas each year has grown from four in the Class of 1795 to 525 in the Class of 2010.

The College counts 26,169 living alumni as of Dec. 7, 2010, from the oldest Eph on record, James A. Goodwin ’32 (born March 8, 1910), to the youngest, Alex Howard ’10 (born Sept. 7, 1989). That’s a lot of Ephs!
