My Dear Classmates: — I have the pleasure of placing in your hands the eleventh in the series of Class Records catalogued upon a preceding page. At our meeting in June last the Secretary requested instructions, as to whether the new Record should be a comprehensive history of the Class for the fifty years since graduation, with a biographical sketch of every member, living or dead; or whether it should follow substantially the narrower lines of preceding numbers. The question was referred to a Committee of three, with power to act. On the basis of a Class referendum, the Committee decided upon the latter plan. Accordingly, the present Record contains a biographical sketch of every living graduate and non-graduate, and of the fifteen graduates and six non-graduates who have died since the last Record was published in 1907. The sketches of all other deceased members (forty-six graduates and thirty-eight non-graduates) are omitted, having already been given in previous Records. In the case of each of these a reference is given to the particular Record where the sketch may be found. Thus with the issue of this Report we have the record of every member's life brought up to the present time. With very few exceptions our non-graduates have remembered with warm interest their connection with Sixty-One; and we have been able to give in our Class Reports full sketches of nearly all. Not a few have had careers of great usefulness and in a marked degree honorable to themselves and to the Class. At our Fiftieth Anniversary and in this last of our longer Class Rec- ords it has seemed a fit time to present in summary form some of the special lines which the activities of the Class have followed, namely, the connections of Sixty-One men with Colleges and Universities; the part our men have taken in public life and government service, includ- ing the humbler, as well as the more exalted positions; and also a list, up to date, of the books published by members of the Class. The bibliog- raphy of one hundred and eighteen books in one hundred and thirty-two volumes is a creditable testimony to the intellectual activity of a class, numbering ninety-seven graduates and sixty-one non-graduates. The articles, papers, etc., contributed to periodical or other publications have been listed with the individual biographical sketches in this and preced- ing Records. The heading — "Miscellaneous Statistics" — includes various items of interest, among them "Professions and Occupations," a "Summary of Marriages and Births," and "Children who have graduated at Col- (7) 8 A PREFATORY LETTER. lege." The record of Sixty-One in the Civil War has been presented with such fullness of detail in our "Twenty-five Years' Record," pub- lished in 1888, that only a brief summary is given in the present Report. The Report closes with the "Class Roll," which gives the addresses of the living and the date of death opposite the name of each of our dead. It is unlikely that we shall ever gather again in such numbers, as met on our Fiftieth Anniversary. But let as many as possible meet from year to year in New Haven at Commencement, and in 1916, the time for our next regular reunion. Meanwhile, as one or another falls by the way, let us close up our ranks and cherish to the end those asso- ciations and interests that bound us together in our college days, and around which has gathered an ever-increasing charm with each passing year of the half century since we parted in July, '61. It is, perhaps, worthy of being noted here, that our Fiftieth Anni- versary marks the fiftieth year of my service as your Secretary, a length of service equalled, I believe, in but one other instance, the Secretary of the Class of '58, Colonel Bacon; perhaps, also by Professor Salisbury ('32) and Samuel W. Barnum ('41). Though requiring much labor, I have found it a pleasant diversion in the engrossing duties of an exacting profession; and if I have succeeded in recording at all worthily the lives of the men of Sixty-One, as they have tried to fulfill the motto of the Class, I shall feel abundantly rewarded. Cordially yours, WINTHROP D. SHELDON, Secretary. Girard College, February 1, 1912. II. OUR FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Our Semi-Centennial naturally occupies the front of the stage as the most notable of our reunions. The following poster, prominently displayed here and there on tree and fence all over the College grounds, announced that Sixty-One had arrived, to celebrate its half-century anniversary, and told how it proposed to commemorate that event in worthy fashion. 1861 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. "Bright is the meeting, brotherly the greeting, Of the good old Class of Sixty-one." Headquarters: Dwight Hall, south front room, ground floor. CLASS PROGRAM. Tuesday, June Twentieth. 10 A. M. Alumni Meeting, Alumni Hall. 12 Noon. Business Meeting and Lunch at the Home of Professor Dexter, No. 178 Prospect St. 3 P.M. Base Ball Game, Harvard vs. Yale. (Special Car.) 6.30 P. M. Dinner at the Home of Governor Baldwin, No. 44 Wall St. "Our memories shall cluster 'round the friends that here we won, As the elms 'round our Alma Mater, Yale." (9) 10 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. At the general Alumni Meeting— 10.00 A.M.— held for the last time in Alumni Hall, which was about to be torn down, to make way for the new Wright Dormitory, the Class at the invitation of the Chairman took seats upon the platform with an agility worthy of a class only twenty-five years out of college. Professor Tracy Peck spoke in behalf of the Class substantially as follows: — Mr. Chairman, Mr. President, and Fellow Alumni: — I find, in general, my classmates so well and alert, so abounding in good works and in plans for the future, that it seems preposterous to summon them to this platform, as if they were, forsooth, proper objects of curiosity or the superfluous laggards of some vanishing type. We were but ninety-seven at graduation: the financial stress of 1857 partly accounts for the small size of the class. Of the thirty-six survivors twenty-three will in person take part in this our jubilee. With the death of Mark Bailey a few days ago passed away the last of our teachers who lived in New Haven, and of the entire Yale faculty that had to do with us only Tutors Brown and Mills survive. As we entered College in the shadow of a national financial crisis, we passed out amid the black clouds and the tragedies of the Civil War. A large number of us joined a drill-club in our last term, and many before and immediately after commencement volunteered and went to the front on both sides of the conflict. In freshman year Horace had sung to us "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori," and now several of the gallant boys of '61, suddenly rising to the full stature of heroic manhood, un- flinchingly translated into action the lyrical strain. One of our instructors once compared the scholarship of the class to Donati's comet, "a big, bright head with a very long tail." But college lads have a way of keeping prophecy from becoming history, and if that disparaging critic could now review the record of the class I feel sure that his verdict would be, "well done." The class is a very versatile class, its activities having been along many lines. Its record is exceptionally brilliant in law, medicine, and historical and antiquarian studies; it is thoroughly creditable in theology, teaching, banking, commercial and industrial enterprises, legislation in the United States Senate and elsewhere, in the judiciary, in diplomatic, consular and other government service, in farming, scientific research, in contributions to the world's good literature both in prose and poetry. Fifteen have served on the faculties of at least seventeen different uni- versities and colleges. I know of no college class that has had so large a percentage of its graduates engaged in college teaching. Nor is the work of the class at an end. The services of many are still in constant demand, and are still freely and beneficently given. One of our number cannot be with us until he becomes our host this evening, FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. 11 because of his Spartan conception of the duties and responsibilities of the high office to which he has been called by the sovereign people of Con- necticut. If Simeon Baldwin, in the Governor's chair at Hartford, is thinking of us now, I presume it is in the spirit of Ulysses as he addressed his aging and somewhat storm-tossed, but still capable and eager comrades: "Old age hath yet his honor and his toil. Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,— One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." As I recall our life at Yale and what it has done for us through this half -century, I think of many influences for which I am deeply thankful. I mention but three, as these come out in high and higher relief from lustrum to lustrum — college friendships, the personality of some of our teachers, and the nature of our curriculum. Even if there were time, I could not speak worthily of these college friendships, so true and so sacred, perhaps the finest concrete manifesta- tion of the genius of this place, of that "Yale Spirit" which it is hard to define to strangers, but which to you and to me is so vivid, glowing and inspiring, which acts sometimes as a spur, sometimes as a curb, and some- times through its generous sympathy in sorrow and danger, as an unfailing source of strength and hope and consecration to duty. And it has been a life-long possession for good to have come under the influence of men of such heroic type and broad and helpful humanity as were, among others, President Woolsey and Professor Thacher. What these men tried to teach us has long since largely fallen by the way; but the imprint of their sterling character has permanently entered into the very texture of our lives : Our course of study was very rigid, with but slight regard for indi- vidual tastes or aptitudes or purposes in life. I think it would have been to our advantage, if the curriculum had been somewhat more elastic. But had we been allowed to range and nibble at will up and down the vast fields of knowledge, had we given much time to what are called "voca- tional studies," I doubt very much whether our careers would have been as successful as they have been, and whether in times of stress and trouble our resources would have been as numerous and rich as we have found them. There seem to be few finalities in education, and with the steady increase of knowledge we must look for readjustments of the relative position and methods and ends of particular branches of study. But for one, I cannot conceive of a wise scheme of truly liberal and humanizing education from which shall be excluded the languages and literatures and history and life of ancient Greece and Rome, nor of a community that 12 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. can safely be indifferent to the ideals and lessons that come from those great and unique civilizations of the past. But this is too vast a subject to be entered upon here. However we may differ as to details, I think we can all subscribe to President Woolsey's golden words, " That culture is better than knowledge, and that character is better than culture," and to Milton's majestic ideal of education as "that which should fit one to perform justly, skilfully, and magnani- mously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war." We are all proud of what Yale has been in the past and of what she is to-day, and we anticipate for her a still better future, with deeper and finer influences upon the destiny of this country and upon the progress of human society. Whatever may be our creed, we adopt the prayer of the pagan Greek, " that the sons may be better than their fathers." Returning from Italy to keep this festival with my classmates I re-read, on ship-board, the Aeneid of Vergil. A thousand things in that great epic interested and thrilled me; and I thought of Yale's future, as I lingered over the description of the shield of Aeneas. Some of you will remember that, just before the fateful duel between Turnus and Aeneas, Vulcan at the command of Venus makes a glorious panoply for Aeneas. On the shield with cunning artistry was emblazoned the future of Rome, its triumphant evolution on and on from century to century. Aeneas gazes at this coming history with wonder and admiration. He cannot comprehend its events, but he is fascinated by their prophetic portraiture, and so he gladly takes to his arms the splendid destiny of his descendants : — "Talia per clipeum Volcani, dona parentis Miratur, rerumque ignarus imagine gaudet, Attollens umero famamque et fata nepotum." At noon by invitation of Professor Dexter the business meeting was held at his house, No. 178 Prospect Street, Peck in the chair. A committee of three — Bent, chairman, S. E. Baldwin and Hemenway — was appointed to consider the question of the next Class Report and ascertain the wishes of the Class thereto, also to obtain subscriptions to execute whatever plan might be adopted. Lunch, at which were also present some members of the families of the Class, was then served, after which a photograph was taken of all in attendance. Dexter had provided a car to take the company to the Yale Field and also tickets for reserved seats at the base-ball game between Yale and Harvard. Nearly all of those present availed themselves of his generous hospitality — "royal" in its thoughtfulness, as one described it. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. 13 But even the enthusiastic "rooting" of the youngsters of Sixty-One did not suffice to give victory to the home team. A fitting crown to our half -century reunion was the pres- ence in the Executive Chair at Hartford of Simeon E. Baldwin, who, after a most notable service as Justice and Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court, had been elected Governor of the Commonwealth. At 6.30 P. M., by his cordial invitation, the Class dined for the second time at his house, No. 44 Wall Street. It was an interesting fact, to which he called our attention, that less than a hundred feet distant from the spot where we were seated at table, his father's class (1811) were fifty years ago celebrating their fiftieth anniversary, at which he himself, then just graduating, was invited to be present. Twenty-four, including two who did not graduate with us, sat down to dinner. C. W. Baldwin, S. E. Baldwin, Beach, ' Bent, Childs, Dexter, Durfee, Fitzhugh, Freeman, Frost, Hemenway, Higgins, Kitchel, McClintock, McKinney, McLane, Merwin, Moore, Morse, Peck, Pelton, Sears, Sheldon, and Stanton. Slingluff was present at the lunch, but was unable to remain for the evening, making twenty-five in all who were present in New Haven. The Secretary reported for the absent. A letter was read from Rev. Theodore S. Wynkoop, of Allahabad, India, where he has long served as Secretary of the North India Bible Society, by appointment of the British and Foreign Bible Society of London, and as Honorary Secretary in charge of the work of the North India Christian Tract and Book Society. The letter is printed in connection with his Biographical Sketch. The following letter was read from Hubert S. Brown, for the last twelve years a resident of France : — Villa Primavera, Beaulieu sur Mer (Alpes- Maritimes), France, May 19, 1911. Dear Sheldon: — Your circular letter concerning our Fiftieth Anni- versary, which you very happily say "once seemed so far in the distance that it looked almost as if it would never come," recalls very distinctly- 14 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. how we wondered, in July, 1861, as we sat on the college fence, if we ever should be so old as that company of the Class of 1811, which we regarded with so much interest. Yet the year 1911 — a date whose remoteness then was emphasized by the fact that it carried over into the early part of a new century — is really here and will see gathered under the elms of Yale a goodly number, I hope, of the Class of Sixty-One, which took its departure from under the same elms in the midst of the storm and stress of a Civil War, to which we made on both sides our contribution of valor and blood. That is a rather neat touch of yours, that the quinquennial examina- tions, as conducted by you, have since graduation taken the place of the biennials, which were "such a bore, such a bore.'' And many of the Class of Sixty-One (one is proud to say) who may never have passed the colloquy mark in the biennials, have reached a philosophical stand in the larger examination held by you, as shown in the records of a successful life. There was no place in this larger examination for taking a furtive glance at a concealed fragment of a page, nor time to decipher certain hieroglyphic data on the shirt-cuff. All the men, Mr. Secretary, called up by you in this last and most famous of your series of quinquennials will pass a good examination and will be marked by you on a scale repre- senting an average of which the Class may well be proud. No one has altogether "flunked." No one has made a distinct failure, so far as I know, and quite a large number will be noted on your score sheet as having attained high distinction in their chosen careers. I had long promised myself to make a special trip home, to be present at this memorable anniversary of our Class and am keenly disappointed in being prevented from answering "present" at your roli-call. An accident laid me up some weeks last winter and has left me in no con- dition to undertake so long a journey. I console myself with the thought that I may still be one of that diminishing number which will meet in 1916. I shall be present, you may be sure, in spirit on the twentieth of June, seeming to hear the brief speeches of those present, and the letters read from the absent, and joining in drinking the silent toast to those who have gone over to the majority. Most cordially, Your Classmate, HUBERT S. BROWN. Our company did not break up until after twelve o'clock. Everyone present responded to the call of our host with a few words personal to himself and to his life-work, or in any vein of thought or reminiscence suggested by the history of the Class. Professor Sears closed his remarks with the following poem, which, written by Arthur Macy and first read before FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. 15 the Papyrus Club of Boston, had been placed in his hands by a member of the St. Botolph Club: — Sit closer, friends, around the board; Death grants us yet a little time. Now let the cheering cup be poured, And welcome song and jest and rhyme; Enjoy the gifts that Fortune sends, Sit closer, friends! And yet we pause; with trembling lip We strive the fitting phrase to make, Remembering our fellowship; Lamenting Destiny's mistake, We marvel much when Fate offends, And claims our friends. Companion of our nights of mirth, Where all were merry who were wise, Does Death quite understand your worth, And know the value of the prize? I doubt me if he comprehends; He knows no friends. And in that realm is there no joy Of comrades and the jocund sense? Can Death so utterly destroy — For gladness grant no recompense? And can it be that laughter ends With absent friends? Of scholars whom we wisest call, Who solve great questions at your care, Mark the simplest of them all; And yet you cannot answer there! And is it thus your knowledge ends To comfort friends? Dear Omar, should you chance to meet Our Brother somewhere in the Gloom, Pray give to him a message sweet From Brothers in the Tavern Room; He will not ask who 'tis that sends, For we were friends. Again a parting sail we see, Another boat has left the shore; A kinder soul on board has she Than ever left the land before, And as her outward course she bends, Sit closer, friends! 16 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY. The whole occasion fitly rounded out the half century, that had passed since the Class entered upon its active career. From the beginning to the end the spirit of joy and satisfaction, as we looked back over the past, and of good cheer, hope and courage, as we peered into the future, brooded over our meeting like a benediction. And so we parted, never all to meet again under the shadow of our Alma Mater, but bearing, each in his •own heart, the serene anticipation expressed in those lines by Julia Ward Howe: — My voyage nears its close, — in some still haven My bark shall find its anchorage of rest, When the kind hand, which every good has given, Opening with wider grace, shall give the best. III. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. I. Graduates. *Ebenezer Andrews was born in Milan, Ohio, July 21, 1837, and died there November 18, 1896. For biographical, ■sketch see "Second Supplement to Twenty-five Years' Record, " published in 1897. *James Bruyn Andrews entered Yale from New York, where he was born September 22, 1842. He died at Aachen, Germany, August 27, 1909, within a month of his sixty-seventh birthday. He was son of Loring and Blandina Bruyn (Harden- berg) Andrews. His preparation for college, he described as "so erratic, that it would be unfair to hold anyone responsible for it, or rather for the want of it." In the autumn of 1861 he entered Columbia College Law School, where he gradu- ated in the spring of 1863, and was admitted to the New York Bar in the latter part of the same year. During the winter preceding graduation, besides attendance at the Law School, he was also a student in the law office of Weeks & DeForest. During 1864-65 and six months of 1866 he practiced law in New York, in company with Eugene Schuyler (Y. C, 1859). In August, 1866, he went to Europe under appointment as United States Consul at Valencia, Spain, where he remained until November, 1867. Returning in 1869 to New York, he resumed practice, which he continued until 1871, when he retired on account of ill health and went to Europe, where he resided until his death in 1909. He made his home for the most part at Menton, France, where he purchased a villa. The last few years of his life were largely spent in travel in Europe, Asia and the United States. For many years he had been a member of the Reform Club in London. He occupied himself with studies in folk-lore, local phonet- ics and dialect, archaeology, ethnology and anthropology and (17) 18 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. religions. He contributed numerous articles on these subjects to the principal English, French and Italian journals devoted to such lines of investigation. He also published at Nice, France, several small volumes pertaining to the Mentonnese dialect and the folk-lore of Liguria. In recognition of his work the French government made him an Offkier d'Academie. He was married in Paris, March 17, 1869, to Miss Fanny Griswold, daughter of Cyrus W. Field of New York. His wife died at East Sheen, London, England, December 30, 1905. They had two children: Frances Field, born March 12, 1870, was married, and died in the island of Ceylon, June 22, 1902; and Cyril Bruyn Andrews, born June 7, 1885, married Marian Constance Hare, November 21, 1906, and has a daughter, Fanny Field, born March 17, 1909. He was educated at Temple Grove School, East Sheen, London, at New College, Oxford, and in Law at the Inner Temple, London. He devotes himself to law, philosophy and the social problems of present- day government in England. Andrews' literary work may be summarized as follows: — 1875. Essai de Grammaire du Dialecte Mentonnais, avec quelques Contes, Chansons et Musique du Pays. Nice, France; pp. 80. 1877. Vocabulaire Francais-Mentonnais. Nice; pp. 174. 1892.

For biographical sketch see "Twenty-five Years' Record," pub- lished in 1888. Charles Winterfield Baldwin, son of William Henry and Jane Maria (Woodward) Baldwin, was born, March 23, 1840, in Anne Arundel County, Md., and entered college from Millersville, Md. On both sides he comes from a long line of Maryland ancestry of English descent. His father was a midshipman in the War of 1812. His grandfather, Lieutenant Henry Baldwin, served in the Maryland Line in the Revolution and was one of the original members of the Society of the Cincinnati. His mother was daughter of Captain Henry Woodward and Eleanor Williams, daughter of Thomas Williams, Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel, who fought at Ger- mantown and in other battles of the Revolution. He prepared for college at the county academy under the instruction of Mr. P. M. Leakin and came to Yale in the autumn of 1859, the beginning of our Junior year. On graduation he studied law in Baltimore until September, 1863, and then engaged in teaching a private class of boys. He was licensed, on the 6th of January, 1864, as a local preacher in the Baltimore Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, and studied at Yale Theological Seminary from September, 1864, to July, 1865, and, during the following 20 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. year, at Union Theological Seminary, New York. The next year, 1867, he resided and preached on the Severn Circuit of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Waterbury, Md. During 1868-9 he had charge of Ryland Chapel, Washington, D. C, and during 1870-71, of the church at Westminster, Md. He was ordained to full orders in the Methodist Episcopal Church in March, 1870, at Frederick City, Md., and was stationed at Hereford, Md., in 1872; in Baltimore, 1873-75; in Sykesville, Md., 1876-79; in Baltimore again, 1879-82; in Cumberland, Md., 1882-85; and in Washington, D. C, as pastor of the Union Church, 1885-7, Ryland Chapel, 1887-90, and the Wesley Chapel, 1890-91. In March, 1891, he was chosen secretary of the American University, established for post- graduate work in Washington under the auspices of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church, which position he held until 1894. At that date he resumed pastoral work and took charge of Wesley Chapel, Washington, until the spring of 1897, when he was appointed Presiding Elder of the West Baltimore District, having under his supervision thirty-four churches and forty-one ministers. This office he held until 1903. At this date he was elected superintendent of the Baltimore City Missionary and Church Extension Society of the Methodist Denomination. This position also carried with it the duties of corresponding secretary. In 1910 by a change in the constitution of the society the title of his office was made ' ' corresponding secretary' ' instead of "superintendent." But his duties remain the same as before, embracing a large and expanding work in the city proper, in the suburbs and among the numerous foreign popula- tion. He was one of the incorporators in 1884, and since then has been a member of the Board of Trustees, of the Baltimore College for Women (now Goucher College); since 1900 President of the Board of Trustees of the Anne Arundel Academy, Millersville, Md., of which Board he became a member in 1887; and since 1891 he has been Recording Secre- tary of the Board of Trustees of the American University and a member of the Board since 1899. Beginning with 1887 he has been President of the "Mountain Chautauqua" at Moun- tain Lake Park, Garrett County, Md. He is also a Trustee GRADUATES. 21 of the Morgan College of Baltimore, a normal and collegiate institution for colored people. It has three branches, one in Baltimore, one at Princess Anne, Md., and the third at Lynch- burg, Va. Since 1906 he has been on the Board of Directors of the Baltimore Manual Labor School. He was a delegate, representing the western section of Methodist Churches, at the Methodist Ecumenical Conference, held in London, September, 1901. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him in 1898 by St. John's College, Annapolis, Md. He read a historical paper, entitled "Methodism and Representative Families of Maryland," at the "Perry Hall Pilgrimage," Baltimore County, October 9, 1900. This paper was published in 1901 in the New York Christian Advocate. Another paper was given, May 6, 1911, on "How we got our English Bible." He is a member of the Maryland Historical Society, the American Methodist Historical Society, and of the Sons of the American Revolution. He was married December 1, 1868, in Baltimore, to Miss Annie C, daughter of Lambert N. and Mary J. Hopkins. They had one child, Maria, born October 24, 1869, a graduate of Wellesley College in 1891. His wife died, May 3, 1872. He was married, February 9, 1876, to Miss Annie M., daughter of Samuel and Maria (Sweetser) Thomas, of Baltimore. Simeon Eben Baldwin, son of Roger Sherman and Emily (Perkins) Baldwin, entered college from New Haven, Conn., where he was born February 5, 1840. President .Clap of Yale was his great-great-grandfather. His father (Y. C, 1811), a grandson of Roger Sherman who with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin drafted the first copy of the Declaration of Independence, was Governor of Connecticut and United States Senator. Simeon Baldwin, his grandfather, served as a member of Congress and a Justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut. He fitted for college at the Hopkins Grammar School under the principalship of Rev. James M. Whiton (Y. C, '53). He 22 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. received first prizes in composition and debating and a Townsend premium, and was one of the Yale editors of the University Quarterly. A serious affection of the eyes made it necessary for him to spend nearly a year in practical darkness; but with the aid of a tutor he kept pace with the studies of the course and graduated with the rank of Salutatorian. The first year after graduation he studied law at the Yale Law School and in his father's office in New Haven, where, after one term in the fall of 1862 at the Harvard Law School, he completed his preparatory studies and was admitted to the Bar, September 4, 1863. In 1869 he was appointed "Lecturer and Instructor in Constitutional and Commercial Law and the Law of Wills" in the Yale Law School, and also for a series of years lecturer to the Senior Class of the Aca- demic Department on the Constitution of the United States. In 1872 he was elected Professor of Constitutional and Mer- cantile Law, Corporations and Wills. This remained the title of the Professorship until 1896, when it was changed to Con- stitutional Law, Corporations and Wills, the former title, how- ever, being retained in the special list of the Law School Faculty until 1900, when it became Constitutional and Corporation Law, and in 1901 American Constitutional and Private Inter- national Law, which a little later was also given as the title in the general catalogue of the University Faculty. The de- velopment of the Law School since 1872 in numbers and in the comprehensiveness and excellence of its work, and its present high standing have been very largely due to his labors and ability. At the luncheon given to the graduates at the Law School Commencement in 1902, a portrait of Professor Baldwin was presented to the School by the Alumni as a token of respect and esteem. Until his appointment to the Bench in 1893, he conducted a large practice throughout Connecticut and in neighboring States and in United States Courts, and was general counsel of several important railroads in New England. In 1872 he served on a State Commission to revise the education laws. In 1873 he was elected by the Connecticut GRADUATES. 23 Legislature one of a Commission of five to revise the State statutes, which Commission prepared the revision known as the "General Statutes of 1875." In 1878 he was appointed by the Governor of Connecticut, under a resolution of the State Legislature, one of a Commission of five, to inquire into the feasibility of simplifying legal procedure and to report thereon. This Commission reported a bill for a system of code-plead- ing, which was passed by the Legislature in 1879. Under this Act a book of rules and forms was prepared by the Commis- sion, approved and adopted by the judges of the court, and now constitutes the basis of pleading in civil actions in Con- necticut. He was also in 1886 made a member of a Com- mission of the State of Connecticut to report on a plan of State taxation. Their report was sent to the Legislature in 1887. In 1893 he was appointed an Associate Justice of the Con- necticut Supreme Court of Errors and became Chief Justice in January, 1907, which position he held until February 5, 1910, when, having reached the age of seventy, he retired in accordance with the provision of the State Constitution. At the opening of his Court on January 21, 1910, a Committee from the Senior Class of the Law School presented him with a bouquet of American Beauty roses with the following card: To Honorable Simeon E. Baldwin, Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors: A tribute of respect and affection from the members of the Senior Class of the Yale Law School who have learned to appreciate your work as a man and the lofty ideals your service on the Bench have so fittingly exemplified. To you as a teacher we are indebted for the inspiration of a noble life. Our School owes its existence in a large measure to your early efforts. Your constant and unselfish, active interest has contributed to its growth and progress. On this occasion of your retirement as Chief Justice of the State we desire to express the heartfelt hope that many years yet lie before you, during which we shall continue to have the benefit of your guidance and your teaching. His retirement from the Bench called forth many tributes from his own State and also from the legal profession of the 24 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. country at large. A dinner was given him. by the State Bar Association in New Haven on February 7, 1910. He told the lawyers and judges gathered before him that he considered he had spent the best years of his life upon the Bench, for, while he had not gone to the Supreme Court until he was fifty-two years old, a man in the legal profession, he believed, did not do his best work until he was past fifty. Some- one among the diners called forth a rousing cheer by correct- ing the judge. "You should say, not until seventy." "I lose power in retiring from the Bench," said Mr. Bald- win, "but I gain freedom and leisure, not leisure to do nothing, but to choose what I would wish to do." Chief Justice Frederic B. Hall, who succeeded to the post held by Mr. Baldwin, said to the diners : "Justice Baldwin retires in perfect mental and physical health. His only weakness is a constitutional weakness, inas- much as the Constitution says that he is no longer capable of holding the office. But the Constitution is very much mis- taken." He was one of the organizers of the American Bar Associa- tion in 1878; its President, 1890-91, and long a member of its Executive Committee. In 1885 he was elected chairman of the Committee on Jurisprudence and Law Reform; and since 1907 he has been a director of the "Bureau of Comparative Law," established by the Association. He has given many papers and addresses before the Association; their titles appear in the Bibliography following this sketch. He was President of the Association of American Law Schools, 1902- 03. In 1899 he was elected President of the International Law Association, to succeed Sir Richard Webster, Attorney-General of England, an honor conferred upon only one other American; and at its twenty-fourth annual meeting, held in Portland, Me., in 1907, he was made Honorary President. In 1904 President Roosevelt appointed him a delegate to represent the United States at the Universal Congress of Lawyers and Jurists held in September of that year in connection with the Exposition at St. Louis. He was a member of the Executive Committee GRADUATES. 25 in charge of the preliminary arrangements and a Vice-Presi- dent of the Congress. In July, 1901, some fifty leaders of the American Bench and Bar were entertained by the judges and lawyers of Eng- land beneath the gabled roof of the Middle Temple Hall, Lon- don. Among those present were every justice of prominence in England and almost every other famous name associated with English judicature to-day. Judge Baldwin was one of the speakers representing the American guests. He has been appointed to deliver the Dodge Lectures at Yale on the Responsibilities of Citizenship, 1911-12. In 1867 he was the unsuccessful candidate of the Republican party for State Senator from the New Haven district, and in the same year was elected a member of the common council of that city. In 1884 he was one of the "Independents" who refused to support Blaine. He was chosen president of the Independent Republican organization in Connecticut, and took an active part in the canvass in support of Mr. Cleveland. Already in 1882 Civil Service Reform had enlisted his efforts, and he had been a leader in organizing Connecticut clubs in its interest. In 1891 he aided in forming the State Democratic Club and was its President until 1893, and was also for a time President of the Monticello, a Democratic Club of New Haven. No sooner had he retired from the Supreme Court in 1910, when his name was mentioned in connection with various honors in the field of politics. At the Democratic State Convention, September 8, 1910, he was nominated for Governor by acclama- tion, with a spontaneity and enthusiasm which spoke for more than mere partizan ardor. In commenting upon it the New York Evening Post said: — It was worth while watching this gray-haired man, with his scholarly- face and judicial bearing, as he stood for the first time as his party's choice for high elective office, watching a convention which his appearance alone had set wild. It was the first time in nearly eighteen years that he had been in a position to speak his mind in a public gathering, and he said that the opportunity gave him a world of satisfaction. There were things, he felt, that any man who had followed present political trends with any degree of thought should discuss as loudly and as publicly as possible, and then and there he proceeded to do so in no uncertain terms. 26 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Inaugurated Governor in January, 1911, he has been a potent influence in shaping the most important legislation that has ever been brought before the General Assembly of Connecticut, notwithstanding the fact that the majority of that body was strongly of the opposite party. His connections with scientific and other societies and associations may be summarized as follows: President, New Haven Colony Historical Society, 1884-96; President, Ameri- can Social Science Association, 1897-99; Vice-President, Archaeological Institute of America, 1898, and President of the Connecticut Branch, 1899-1901; President, American Historical Society, 1906, and Vice-President, Political Science Section, 1903; President of Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences since about 1906; President, American Political Science Association, 1910; Vice-President, Connecticut His- torical Society, 1910; Vice-President of the Paris Commission, permanente du Congres International de l'Enseignement Social, 1900; Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1901, and Vice-President of the same, Section I., Social and Economic Science, 1903; member of the Berlin "Internationale Vereinigung fur vergleichende Rechtswissen- schaft und Volkswirtschaftslehre," 1899; delegate, by appoint- ment of the Department of State, from the United States to the Sixth International Prison Congress at Brussels, 1900; member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters, since 1899; corresponding member of the Massachusetts Historical Society, since 1900; delegate from the United States to the Congres International Penitentiaire held at Buda-Pest in 1905 and a Sectional Vice-President of the same; member, Ameri- can Antiquarian Society; corresponding member, Massa- chusetts Historical Society since 1899; member, National Arbitration Committee, organized, 1902, in Washington, to secure adoption of an arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain; member, American Philosophical Society since 1910; member of advisory council and Vice- President of Society for the Judicial Settlement of International Disputes, 1909, and President of the same, 1911; correspond- ing member, Institut de Droit Compare, Brussels. GRADUATES. 27 His numerous papers and addresses before the above socie- ties are listed in the Bibliography given below. He is a member of the United Church, in New Haven, and has been President of the Young Men's Christian Association of the city; President of the Congregational Club; Moderator of the General Conference of the Congregational Churches of Connecticut, a delegate of that body to the National Council of Congregational Churches; Vice-President of the Congre- gational Home Missionary Society; member of Executive Com- mittee of the Religious Educational Federation of New Haven, and Vice-President, Board of Directors of the New Haven General Hospital. He was married October 19, 1865, to Miss Susan Win- chester, of Boston, Mass. They have had three children: Florence Winchester, born January 3, 1868, died September 16, 1872; Roger Sherman, born January 17, 1869, and Helen Harriet, January 27, 1872, who was married, March 4, 1899, to Dr. Warren Randall Gilman (Harvard, A.B. and M.D.), of Worcester, Mass. They have one child, Charlotte Wentworth Gilman, born January 24, 1900. His son, Roger Sherman, graduated at Yale in the Class of 1890, and at the Yale Law School in 1893, taking the degree of M.L. in 1894. Harvard University in 1891 conferred upon Judge Baldwin the degree of LL.D., and Columbia University the same in 1911. In doing so, President Butler used these words: — Simeon Eben Baldwin — Lawyer, teacher of law, and judge, repre- senting both in thought and in action, the highest type of juristic knowl- edge and conscientiousness, elevated by the votes of your neighbors to be governor of Connecticut, I gladly admit you to the degree of doctor of laws in this university. 28 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

His ancestry, that of his grand-parents, Bent-Watson and Barrett-Appleton, is given at length in the publications of the Massachusetts Societies of Colonial Wars and Sons of the American Revolution, of which he was an active member and office-holder for twenty years. It includes several genera- tions in England and the names of thirty or more persons who served in various capacities, civil and military, during Colonial and Revolutionary times. He fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, under the principalship of Doctor Samuel H. Taylor. The first year after graduation he spent at home; the second in the law office of H. W. Paine & R. D. Smith, of Boston; and the third at the Cambridge Law School, where he received the degree of LL.B., in 1865. For the succeeding six months he traveled in Europe. On his return, in Decem- ber, 1865, he was admitted to the Suffolk Bar, and established himself in Boston, where he practiced his profession during the succeeding five years. In 1868 he was elected for the term of three years a member of the Boston School Committee. In the fall of 1870 he went to Europe and passed the winter of 1871-72 in Rome, following the researches of the British Archaeological Society. In the spring of 1872 he became American editor of the Swiss Times, a daily paper published in English at Geneva. During the summer, of that year he enjoyed the society of the American jurists connected with the Court of Arbitration in session in that city, and was present when the award was made public.

He retained this position until April, 1883, having been elected superintendent of schools at Clinton, Mass. He remained there until July, 1886, when he declined a re-election and removed to Boston, where he has since resided, with the exception of about twelve years (1896-1908) in Brookline, Mass. He was Vice-President, 1888-90, of the Orpheus Mu- sical Society of Boston, a German- American organization, which was the first to introduce into this country German four-part songs.

(Thompson) Bonney, was born March 10, 1839, at Rochester, Mas"s., from which place he entered Yale. His ancestry dates back to the Mayflower. He prepared for college in the schools of his native town. After graduation he studied law six months in Providence, R. I. During the summer of 1862 he served for three months as a private in the Tenth Rhode Island, which left for the seat of war at only a few hours' notice, on the occasion of Stonewall Jackson's raid up the Shenandoah valley and the retreat of General Banks. He had some hard marching, but for most of the time was doing garrison duty near Washington. On his return he entered Harvard College Law School, where he remained until March, 1863, and then removed to New York, and was there admitted to the bar, December 6th, of the same year. From that date until his death on November 11, 1909, at the age of seventy years and eight months, he practiced his profession in New York City, with offices at No. 51 Wall Street. He was a partner of Clifford A. Hand from about 1874 to the death of the latter in 1901. The firm then became Hand, Bonney & Jones, Mr. Augustus N. Hand taking the place of his uncle. Mr. Bonney's practice lay in the administration of estates and in the line of real estate. He was highly respected as a lawyer, a man of the' strictest integrity, of cultivated and refined tastes, and of a singularly gentle and kindly spirit. He had been chairman of the committee on membership of the New York Bar Associa- tion and was President of the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Associa- tion of New York City. He was a member of the University GRADUATES. 45. Club, the Church Club, and a vestryman of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Most of his life he resided in New York City, but in Plainfield, N. J., 1873-1875, and in Garden City,. L. I., for some years after 1881. He was married in New York, April 3, 1872, to Miss Caro- line K., daughter of Eliot Holbrook. His wife died May 19, 1901. They had six children: Mary Wright, born January 24, 1873 (died in 1894) ; Frances Holbrook, April 5, 1875 (died July 24, 1877); George, January 26, 1877; Anna, April 19,. 1879; Madeleine, March 16, 1882; Holbrook, December 12, 1885. George married Miss Mary Battey, of Atlanta, Ga., where he is engaged in the cotton brokerage business. Anna, married P. Compton Miller, of New York, December 1, 1908. Holbrook married Miss Katharine G. Shuey, of Washington, D. C, February 16, 1909. He graduated at Amherst College in 1907 and is a member of the firm of Cassard, Bonney & Co., Broad Street, New York, dealers in stocks and bonds. * Franklin Seymour Bradley died April 26, 1908, at the age of sixty-eight years, eleven months, at his home in New Haven, Conn. Here he was born May 17, 1839, and here he passed his entire life. His parents were Seymour and Delia (Barnes) Bradley, who had removed from North Haven, Conn. His preparation for college was obtained for the most part at General Russell's Collegiate and Commercial Institute and the private school of Stiles French in New Haven. He cherished most warmly his college associations and was a member of our Class Committee from graduation until his death. Immediately after graduation he went into mercantile life with his father and older brother, Robert B. Bradley, in the agricultural and wholesale wooden-ware business. In 1864 he established the firm of F. S. Bradley & Co., wholesale hard- ware merchants, from which he retired in 1891. Subsequently he became President of the Buckingham Hardware Company, and in 1895 Secretary and Treasurer of the Glendora Knitting Company, of which he was afterward President for a number of years. In 1878 he was elected President of the Yale National Bank of New Haven. This position he resigned in 1889 on 46 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. account of ill-health from care and overwork. At the time of his death he was Senior Director of the bank, having been a member of the Board for about thirty-five years. Mr. Bradley was a very successful business man and acted as administrator of many large estates. By appointment of the mayor he served for the years 1905- 1907 on the Board of Directors of the Public Library. The New Haven Register said of him in its issue of April 27, 1908:— It was because of his Yale training that he was all his life something more than a mere business man in the community. He was a well- rounded citizen, a man who neglected no duty of home, or church, or society, or city. He hid away none of the talents he possessed, nor did he allow to rust the knowledge which the College gave him. In a busy life he found time for literature and art, as well as for the pursuits gen- erally deemed more practical. All who came into contact with him knew that here was a broad man, a substantial man, a man in every way admirable. The following is an extract from an editorial in the New Haven Journal and Courier of April 27th: — Another of New Haven's prominent and stable citizens has entered into rest. Franklin S. Bradley, whose earthly life ended yesterday, had filled a large place in the banking and other business of New Haven, and though of late years he had modified his activity in some directions he still kept connected with various business affairs, and was apparently as keen in his insight and as sound in his judgment as ever. He was always alert in both mind and body, and during his most active period he could do a great deal of business with celerity and ease. He was quick in com- prehension and quick in decision, and though not especially aggressive, he was tenacious and persistent. Though a thorough business man, he did not allow business to absorb him to the exclusion of other important matters. He was a graduate of Yale, and his mental quality and his training there showed in all his after life in the interest he took in literary mattery. He was highly appreciative of excellence in literary work, and could write well himself. He kept abreast of the progress of thought and was especially concerned with all that affected the conduct of public affairs in this country. He was closely observant and mildly critical, and had a most decided appreciation of the humorous side of things. He took pains to be sociable and, busy as he usually seemed to be, was always ready for a friendly word or chat. His life was well-regulated, active and useful. GRADUATES. 47 The Rev. Newell M. Calhoun, a member of the Yale Cor- poration, writing of him in the New Haven Register of April 28th, gives some interesting details of his life : — His name has been a familiar one for near half a century; his firm, quick, elastic step has been heard daily on the streets of the city, and his wise, safe counsels listened to in business circles. He was conservative, sane and trustworthy. Business interests confided to him were as safe as they could be in the hands of any man. He guarded the resources of widows and orphans with punctilious care as administrator or trustee. The city will miss him, for his manhood, his integrity and his enterprise have been wrought into it. He belonged to the Congregational churches of the city in general and to the Center church in particular, from his boyhood up. He "be- longed" to his church in the real, true sense of the word. To Center church he gave his hearty loyalty, his unstinted service, and his ardent love. To Mr. Bradley the church was more than a religious organiza- tion; it was the "body of Christ," "the pillar and ground of the truth." He was true to it as to his Lord and Master. He served his church at various times as usher, as deacon, as clerk and treasurer, and as a mem- ber of many committees, including that of music. He was first elected deacon in 1876. His reports as clerk were painstaking and illuminating and of usually literary merit. A paper on "The History of Religious Awakenings in the Center Church," was published by request in 1898. He knew the church as few men knew it, and loved it better than he knew it. He magnified his offices in it. His voice was heard in its business meetings and its prayer meetings. His membership went back to Dr. Bacon's time, and only a little while ago he wrote down for the Bible class his recollections of that lion-hearted pastor of Center church. This paper was afterwards published in the Connecticut Magazine, and reprinted in pamphlet, pp. 11. Mr. Bradley had an open mind to the truth and was not afraid of any honest investigation of the Bible, and believed in the new light that is ever breaking from it. An attendant for a lifetime on the minis- trations of the pastors of Center church, and a reader of the best religious literature, he had clear ideas concerning the church and the kingdom. A busy man all his life, yet finding time to serve his church and the public in many ways, he exemplified finely the Christian citizen. Responsi- bilities once assumed were discharged with conscientious fidelity. One could but wonder that he found time to do so many things well. He was ever an ardent son of Yale and was often in attendance on college functions. He was a member of the Graduates Club and many Yale instructors were numbered among his warm friends. He illustrated the usefulness of a. liberal education for the business man. The horizon of his life was not fixed by his buying and selling. His education and his religion made him a citizen Of the world, interested in everything 48 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. pertaining to its highest welfare. Hence his love of all good literature, of pictures, of music, and of travel. It was in his home, however, and among his wide circle of relatives and friends that his love revealed itself at its best. He was genial, warm- hearted and sympathetic. He entered into the plans of others, and stood ready to assist with wise counsels or substantial help. When appre- ciative words were to be written of any friend or relative taken away, Mr. Bradley was the one chosen to write them. These tributes were sure to be sympathetic and appropriate. Those who enjoyed his hospitality •could not soon forget the cultured spirit of the home; the beautiful house with its books and pictures and music were wholly at the disposal and for the enjoyment of his guests. His knowledge of music was extended, and he loved to sit at the piano and play the old college songs or favorite Tiymns or classic music. He was a student of church music also, and played for some years the church organ. In his early manhood he served as organist at the Center, North and College Street churches. As a conversationalist he was bright and witty. His knowledge of men and books was widespread and his discussion of them most interesting. The Rev. Newman Smyth, D.D., of the Center church officiated at the funeral. Tracy Peck was one of the honorary bearers; and the burial was in Evergreen cemetery. He was married in the evening of our Commencement day, July 25, 1861, to Miss Louisa Trowbridge, daughter of Le- Grand Cannon, of New Haven. His wife died March 7, 1889, leaving four children: Henry LeGrand, born July 16, 1862, who received the silver cup; Franklin Trowbridge, born March 10, 1864, died in the fall of 1907; Annie Delia, born September 8, 1865, married Julian F. Dennison; and Louise Cannon, born July 1, 1879, graduated at Smith College, 1902, married Hermann Schaeffer. Henry LeGrand, our Class Boy, died in New Haven, September 2, 1911, at the age of 49. He was connected with the Atlas Manufacturing Company, which he organized in 1892, and was a man of attractive and sterling qualities which he exemplified in all the relations of life. Mr. Bradley contracted a second marriage, February 5, 1890, to Miss Ella M., daughter of Luther C. Chatham, of Canoga, Seneca County, N. Y. They had one child, Dorothea Chatham, born October 23, 1892. GRADUATES. 49 James Harry Brent, son of C. S. Brent, came to college from Paris, Ky., where he was born August 11, 1842. He entered Yale at the beginning of our Sophomore year. After graduation he remained at home, reading law and literature, until the autumn of 1862, when he entered the Confederate army. At first he joined Gen. Kirby Smith's command, with what rank is not definitely known. He afterward resigned his position and enlisted in the ranks under Col. John Morgan. Subsequently he served as a member of General Cleburne's escort in the army which opposed Gen. W. T. Sherman in his Atlanta campaign. He remained in the Confederate service until the close of the war, when he returned home to Paris, Ky., where he has since resided, practicing law. He was for a lew years a Judge of the Circuit Court of Kentucky. In 1866 he married Miss Chambers, of Maysville, Ky., who •died in May, 1891. A daughter was born in 1867. His neglect to answer any of our class circulars will account for the incompleteness of this sketch. Hubert Sanford Brown, son of Sanford and Eliza (Shipman) Brown, was born March 28, 1840, in New Hartford, Conn., and entered Yale from there. On his father's side his ■earliest ancestor in America was Peter Brown, a member of Plymouth Colony. A later ancestor was Daniel Brown, born in 1700 near Boston, one of whose sons, Colonel John Brown (Y. C, 1771), served with distinction in the war of the Revolu- tion. His mother, Eliza Shipman, a native of New Britain, Conn., belonged to a family of Puritan extraction and dis- tinguished in the history of that Colony and the State of Connecticut. He prepared for college at the Hudson River Institute, Claverack, N. Y. Although purposing a business life on leaving college, •circumstances not being favorable for an immediate and satis- factory business connection, he read law a year, partly at Hart- ford and partly at home, and then a short time at the Harvard Law School. On the 1st of July, 1863, he became a member of the firm of H. D. Ormsbee & Co., of New York, commission merchants and dealers in hardware, metals, etc., and con- 50 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. tinued his connection with that firm until 1865. Early in that year he was appointed by President Lincoln, Captain and Assistant Adjutant General, at the request of Major General W. B. Hazen, commanding Second Division Fifteenth Army Corps, and joined General Sherman's army on its march through the Carolinas. On General Hazen's promotion to the command of the corps, he became Corps Adjutant General, continuing in this position until the final muster-out of the army at Louisville, Ky. He was afterward on duty, first at Murfreesboro, Tenn., and then at Nashville, where he was mustered out of service in October, 1866. He was twice pro- moted, first to be Major, then to be Brevet Lieutenant Colonel, dating March 13, 1865. At the beginning of 1867, he went into- business in Chicago, 111., and became a member of the firm of Eaton, Maguire & Co., afterwards Eaton & Brown, wholesale dealers in glassware, lamps, and crockery. His partner, Mr. Eaton, was a member of the class of 1862. They were burned out in the great fire of 1871, but resumed business at once,, notwithstanding their heavy losses. He continued in business in Chicago until February, 1875, when he became a member of the firm of J. E. Kingsley & Co., proprietors of the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, where he remained until 1890. Remov- ing to New York, he was in business there until 1898 on Frank- lin and Nassau Streets. Since that date he has been living with relatives at Beaulieu in the Alpes Maritimes, or French Riviera,, where he expects to remain indefinitely. He has never married. * Milton Bulkley was born July 14, 1840, at Southport, Conn. His death took place at San Francisco, Cal., January 25, 1872.

Albert Henry Childs, son of Harvey and Jane Bailey (Lowrie) Childs, was born November 29, 1839, in Pittsburgh, Pa., from which place he entered Yale. His paternal ancestor, William Child (as the name was then spelled), came over from England in 1636, and settled in Massachusetts. In 1817 his grandparents moved to Pittsburgh. On his mother's side his great-grandparents, John and Catherine (Cameron) Lowrie, 52 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. came from Scotland in 1793 and located in Western Pennsyl- vania. He prepared for college in Allegheny City, Pa. After gradu- ation he was for two years associated in business with his brother in Pittsburgh, which he has made his life residence. In 1863 he became one of the owners of the Hope Cotton Mill, firm of A. H. Childs and Company. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1869; and after a brief connection with A. W. Rollins and Company, of the Union Woolen Mill, he in 1871 took up the iron, steel, ore, coal and coke commission business, which has been his occupation until recently, when he retired from active business, still serving, however, upon various director- ships of banking and business enterprises and of charitable institutions. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Western Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and of the Homoeopathic Hospital and Dispensary, besides membership in various civic and benevolent associations. He was for many years First Vice-President and then President of the Yale Alumni Association of Western Pennsylvania.

Moulton Deforest, son of Isaac Newton and Augusta Ann (Moulton) Deforest, entered Yale from Madison, Wis., but was born in New York, April 7, 1839, and prepared for college at the Episcopal Academy, Cheshire, Conn. He was for a year a member of the class of 1858, and after three years' residence in Madison, Wis., entered Sixty-One at the beginning of Sophomore year. He enlisted, November 23, 1861, as a private in the Eight- eenth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, and served for a time as Quartermaster Sergeant. But in May, 1863, he re- linquished this post for the purpose of rejoining his company, and soon became First Sergeant, and on the 17th of Septem- ber, 1863, was commissioned First Lieutenant. He acted as Regimental Adjutant until May, 1864, and was then detailed on the staff of the Division General, John E. Smith, as Assistant to the Mustering Officer, until October, 1864, and was after- ward Judge Advocate and then Aide-de-Camp. He participated in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, and in Grant's brilliant campaign at Jackson, Miss., Champion Hills, siege of Vicks- burg, entering the city, July 4, 1863, with his regiment, and in the second battle of Chattanooga, and the assault on Mission Ridge. He was with Gen. William T. Sherman's army during his march to the sea, and took part in the battle of Kinston, N. C, on the 11th of March, 1865, and succeeding days. He was promoted to be captain April 4, 1865. After Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's surrender he accompanied Sherman's army to Washington, and then his own corps to Louisville, Ky., where he was mustered out July 18, 1865. In December of that year he entered the employ of Henry Folsom & Co., an importing GRADUATES. 55 firm of St. Louis, Mo., with whom he remained until July, 1880, when the shattered condition of his health compelled him to give up active business. A little later he removed to Wetmore, Kan., where he has been living for the last thirty- years, occupied in the "law, land, loan and collection" business, first in the firm of Burlingame and Deforest until December 30, 1892, and since that date by himself. He has taken an active part in helping forward the tem- perance movement in Kansas, both with the pen and by lectures, and upon the stump. In order to re-enforce the temperance legislation which had been enacted, by putting new vigor into the old methods of moral suasion, he has taken a prominent part in establishing the Order of the Sons of Temperance throughout the State. In 1882 he was elected Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Order for the State, and for many years served as Grand Scribe. He has been active in securing the enactment of a law requiring instruction in the public schools in regard to the nature and effects of alcoholic stimulants, and in maturing the present prohibitory law of the State. "Fugitive articles of mine," he writes, "on scien- tific, political or social themes find acceptance and occasionally favorable comment in our local press, and are then forgotten." For many years he has been doing effective work in building up the schools of Wetmore as a member and the secretary of the School Board. He was married in Wetmore, June 12, 1889, to Miss Mary A., daughter of John Thomas and Mary Matthews. They have had four children: Thomas Moulton, born May 22, 1890, a member of the class of 1912, Kansas State University; Paul, December 31, 1892, died August 8, 1893; Mary Augusta, born December 31, 1892; and Gwendolyn, November 26, 1895. * George Delp entered college from Plumsteadville, Pa,, but was born in Doylestown, Pa., October 20, 1832. His parents were John Loux and Anna (Dettweiler) Delp. He was descended from Johann George Delp, who emigrated from Germany in 1738 and settled in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pa. 56 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. He fitted for college at Hartsville, Pa., with Professor Charles Long (Y. C, 1842) and Rev. Mahlon Long (Princeton, 1839; Y. C, 1847, Hon. M.A.). After graduation he taught for several years in a boys' semi- nary at Norristown, Pa., and as principal of the Norristown High School. He read law and was admitted to practice in 1865 and took up his residence in Philadelphia. After prac- ticing for some years, he devoted himself to editing and publish- ing the Daily Court Record, which gave a succinct record of the current proceedings of the various courts of the city for the special benefit of the legal profession. He continued this work until 1902, when the complete failure of his health com- pelled him to give up all work. The last years of his life were passed in a hospital in Philadelphia where he died, November 19, 1909, at the age of seventy-seven years and one month. The interment was in the Morris cemetery, Phcenixville, Pa. At the time of Gen. R. E. Lee's invasion of Maryland, in August, 1862, he volunteered with the Pennsylvania militia, to assist in repelling the invaders. He had a warm affection for Yale and Sixty-One and was never absent from our meetings, unless unavoidably detained. Franklin Bowditch Dexter, son of Rodolphus W. and Mary H. (Taber) Dexter, was born September 11, 1842, in Fair Haven, Mass., from which place he entered Yale. He fitted for college at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., under Dr. Josiah Clark. After graduation he taught Greek in the Collegiate and Commercial Institute in New Haven for the two years end- ing July, 1863, and during the remainder of that year was Assistant in the Library of Yale University and Instructor in the Sheffield Scientific School. In January, 1864, he was appointed Tutor in the Academic Department, and retained this position until the summer of 1867. From May, 1867, to June, 1868, he was engaged on the Catalogue of the University Library, and for the next twelve months, during the absence of the Treasurer in Europe, was in his office. In July, 1869, he was appointed Assistant Librarian, and Registrar of the GRADUATES. 57 Academical Faculty. The former position he still retains; the latter he resigned in 1892. He was Secretary to the Uni- versity, 1869-99, and Larned Professor of American History, 1877-88. In accepting his resignation of the Secretaryship, the Corporation adopted the following minute: — The Corporation of Yale University, in accepting with unfeigned regret the resignation of Franklin B. Dexter, M.A., for thirty years its Secretary, desires to place on record its grateful acknowledgment of the signal ability and fidelity with which, through so long a period, he has performed the onerous and responsible duty of the office he now lays down. Growing in importance and in the measure of its requirements with the development of the University, on none of his predecessors has it brought a burden of care and labor equal to that which it has devolved upon him. To his extraordinary qualification for it, in native aptitude and in competency of knowledge, he has added a devotion and a diligence in service which have completely met its demands; which have deserved and have won our united admiration; and which entitle him, in our judg- ment, to honorable recognition as the promoter, in no small degree, of the interests of the University. The Degree of Doctor of Letters was conferred upon him at Commencement, 1902. In presenting him--for the degree, Professor Bernadotte Perrin used the following appreciative language : — Franklin Bowditch Dexter. No son of Yale has served his Alma Mater with a service more loving, unselfish, indefatigable, benevolent, and beneficent. By his labors much of the palimpsest of her past has been deciphered. His contribution to the celebration of her bi-centennial year was of unique superiority, and of permanent literary and historical worth. If exhaustive scholarly accuracy and patient self-effacing fidelity were sins, then were he lost indeed. Happy they who can call this man their friend. The Yale Alumni Weekly of July 31, 1902, said editorially concerning "Professor Dexter 's Degree": — There are some who pull strong oars for Yale and are recognized as men who make the boat go and receive such rewards of honor and position as are given for service of a University. Others labor at the oar and make the boat go, but in some way avoid the public eye and seldom come into official reports or under official action. They love 58 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. their work and even more their University and are content to further in their ways her great ends. Conspicuous in this class is one of the men whom Yale honored at her own Commencement. . How well Pro- fessor Dexter deserves such recognition and gratitude as his University can give is known fully to very few. " Self -effacing " is Professor Perrin's adjective for him. None is more fitting in describing this most valuable Yale worker. The scope of his service to the University as Secretary and in other directions is indicated in part in the Bibliography which follows this sketch. He has been for many years Foreign Secretary of the American Antiquarian Society and member of the Council. He was married July 8, 1880, to Miss Theodosia M. f daughter of the late Russell C. Wheeler, of New York. They have a daughter, Dorothea Mary, born July 20, 1888. PUBLICATIONS. Books. 1876. The College Hymnal for Divine Service in Battell Chapel, pp. 388. 1885-1912.

Commenting upon one of the later volumes the New York Nation (Vol. LXXXV., No. 2202) says: "Under a modest title this volume contains a mass of important historical and genealogical matter clearly and pleasantly presented. Professor Dexter is well fitted for the work by an exquisite habit of accuracy, which makes men of experience hesitate to question any of his statements, by a sense of proportion, and by a memory which has aroused the wonder of many college generations. Yale College is happy in having such a historiographer as Professor Dexter. His work is of more than local interest and is valued by all who care for New England history and genealogy."

On his father's side he is of Huguenot descent, tracing his lineage back to Thomas Durfee (French, d'Urf6), who came from England to America in 1660 and settled at Portsmouth, R. I. His paternal grand- father was a Revolutionary soldier, and in 1798 made his home in what was then the primeval forest of western New York. His maternal grandparents came from Wales to this country about 1805. He prepared for college at the Palmyra Classical Union School, and became a member of the class near the beginning of Sophomore year. In the autumn of 1861 he entered the law office of Judge T. R. Strong, at Rochester, N. Y., remaining there a year, and then entered the Albany Law School, from which he graduated in 1863, receiving the degree of LL.B. At the General Term of the Supreme Court at Albany, in Decem- ber of that year, he was admitted to the Bar. The death of his father in the following year, imposing upon him, as the only surviving child, the charge of the business, delayed his beginning the regular practice of his profession, and it was not until 1868 that he opened an office on his own account. From that time until the present he has been continuously engaged in the practice of the law at Palmyra, N. Y., firm of Durfee & Lines. In November, 1870, he was elected to the New York Legislature, and served as Member of Assembly during the year 1871. In 1885 and each of the three years next following he was chosen Supervisor of the town of Palmyra, and in 1888 served as Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of the County. In November, 1893, he was elected Delegate to the New York 62 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Constitutional Convention which convened at Albany in May, 1894. He took an active part in the deliberations of that body, and, in particular, was influential in shaping and carrying through the provisions of the Revised Constitution relating to civil service reform, the abolition of railway passes to State officials, forest conservation and education. As a member of the committee on education he drafted the provision finally adopted, prohibiting the appropriation of public money, property or credit in aid of sectarian schools. He was instru- mental in the organization of the Wayne County Bar Asso- ciation, and was its treasurer as long as he would consent to serve. He has been a member of the New York State Bar Association for many years, serving on various committees and being at present a member of the committee on Law Reform. He is a member of the University Club of Rochester, a charter member of the American Scenic and Historic Preser- vation Society and a member of the Wayne County Auxiliary Committee of the State Charities Aid Association. For eighteen years he was a member of the Board of Education of the Palmyra Classical Union School, during the last five of which he was chairman of the Board. He was for a number of years treasurer, and, later, president of the Globe Manu- facturing Company, and from 1899 until his resignation in 1906 was president of the Peerless Printing Press Company. Retaining the ancestral lands, which have been in his family for more than a hundred years, and having acquired some additional lands, largely orchards, agricultural, and, more recently, horticultural, interests have occupied his time when not otherwise engaged. He has frequently been called upon to speak at political meetings and to make Fourth of July and Memorial Day addresses, and has occasionally contributed articles to various newspapers. He was married June 6, 1872, in New York City, to Mary G., daughter of Charles B. Hatch. They have had no children. David William Eaves, son of S. and Jane P. Eaves, was born at Social Hill, Ky., July 18, 1838. From there he came to Yale at the beginning of Junior Year. He was prepared at GRADUATES. 63 the Greenville, Ky., Academy under Professor Patterson, afterwards a member of the Faculty of the College at Lexing- ton, Ky. He went to Europe about six months after graduation and studied at Berlin, Jena, and Heidelberg, making law his specialty. In the summer of 1864 he graduated at the Law School in Heidelberg, receiving the degree of Doctor Utriusque Juris, and returned home in the following October. The suc- ceeding winter and spring he spent at home, studying American Law, and was admitted to the Bar in Kentucky in July, 1865. He, however, has never practiced law, but in the autumn of 1865 removed to Leavenworth, Kan., where he engaged in bank- ing and in dealing in real estate and western securities until 1873. At that date he became Secretary and Treasurer of the Missouri Valley Bridge Company, manufacturers of wrought- iron railway and highway bridges. A few years later he re- moved to Peoria, 111., where he took up the brokerage business. About 1885 he removed to the far West, and aside from brief periods in California and Oregon, he has made Lewiston, Idaho, his headquarters for the last twenty years. He has been engaged in real estate, mining, and for many years in grain dealing as a member of the Vollmer Clearwater Company, with warehouses and buying points all over that region. He has been admitted to the Bar in most of the surrounding States, not, however, for the purpose of practicing his profession, but in order to secure position and standing in other lines of busi- ness. He was married in October, 1865, at Greenville, Ky., to Miss Anna Weir. They have four children: Elliott W., born September 8, 1866; Lucien and Lucile, twins, born in 1868; Ruth, September 20, 1870. Mrs. Eaves died in the autumn of 1900. His two daughters graduated at the Leland Stanford University and have been teaching in California, one of them at her Alma Mater. One of his sons has long been an officer of the largest bank in Idaho, and the other a mining engineer in Montana. * Clarence Eddy was born at Waterford, N.

(Smith) Faxon, was born January 3, 1841, in Stonington, Conn., and died in Cleveland, Ohio, September 1, 1890. For biographical sketch see "First Supplement to Twenty- five Years' Record," published in 1892. Robert Hughes Fitzhugh, son of Henry and Elizabeth B. (Carroll) Fitzhugh, was born in Oswego, N. Y., October 17, 1840, from which place he came to Yale. He was descended from William Fitzhugh who came from Bedford, England, and settled in Northern Virginia, in 1670; and on his mother's side, from Charles Carroll, who emigrated from Ireland and settled in Maryland in 1671, the ancestor of the "Carrolls of Carrollton." He prepared for college in Oswego, in part under the instruction of Mr. Edward T. Fisher, a graduate of Harvard. He was commissioned October 7, 1861, in the 1st New York Light Artillery, with the rank of First Lieutenant, and was promoted to be Captain November 24, 1862, and Major Sep- tember 17, 1863, and made Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel by Presi- dent Lincoln December 2, 1864. He shared in all the varied history of the Army of the Potomac, from its first campaign against Richmond in the spring of 1862 to the close of the war; and was wounded before Petersburg, Va., July 30, 1864. He was mustered out of service June 24, 1865. From August of that year to October, 1866, he lived on his farm in Colfax, Iowa, then was in the employ of the Mt. Carbon Coal & Railroad Com- pany, at Murphysboro', 111., until November, 1867. At that time he returned to his farm in Colfax, where he remained until about 1871, when he removed to Mitchellville, Polk Co., Iowa. GRADUATES. 65 Here he resided until April, 1883, farming and operating in coal. At the last date he moved still farther west to Garner, Boone Co., Neb., where he engaged in farming until 1890. In 1888 he was nominated to the lower House of the Nebraska Legislature by the Democratic party. The local paper of the day, in announcing his nomination, spoke of him as "one of the best known and most respected citizens of Boone County. He has always taken an active part in public movements, and is Commander of the G. A. R. Post at Petersburg." During the years 1890-93 he was in the service of the "Pittsburgh and Mexican Tin-Mining Company," at Potrillos, one hundred and twenty-five miles north of the city of Durango, Mexico. In 1894 he returned to his farm in Nebraska; but in 1895, having been elected secretary of the above mining company, he removed to Pittsburgh, Pa. In 1896 he became manager of Huntingdon Furnace, Spruce Creek, Pa. Here he remained until June 11, 1898, when he was appointed Major and Chief Commissary of Subsistence, United States Volunteers, and ordered to the Philippines. He arrived in Manila, July 30, and was assigned as Chief. Commissary on the staff of General Thomas M. Anderson. He was present with the troops during the ensuing operations and at the surrender of Manila, August 13, 1898. His experience in the Civil War made it impossible for him to be elsewhere than in the forefront. When the troops were about to advance upon the city, he offered his services for field duty, and was given a temporary staff appointment. He entered Manila in the advance with the Colorado troops, and shortly afterwards was pleasantly greeted by General Merritt, the commander-in-chief, as "The Fighting Com- missary." Prior to the northward march of General MacArthur's Division, he had been assigned as Chief Commissary of that command and participated in the active operations of the troops from February 4 to August 15, 1899. The volunteers were then being rapidly returned to the United States, and on September 3, 1899, he left Manila under orders for muster out and discharge. Since October, 1899, he has been living in Pittsburgh, Pa. He has never married. 66 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. He is a member of the Loyal Legion, Society of the Army of the Potomac, Union Veteran Legion, Duquesne Club, and Uni- versity Club of Pittsburgh. * Joseph Nelson Flint entered college from Canaseraga. N. Y., but was born in South Dansville, Steuben County, N. Y., June 16, 1838. His parents were Joseph and Susan (Phillips) Flint. His paternal ancestors were from England; his mother was of Scotch descent. His grandfather was at Bunker Hill; and two great uncles served at Queenstown Heights and Lundy's Lane in the War of 1812. Early in the Nineteenth Century his grandfather, Josiah Flint, and wife went from New England to Steuben County, N. Y. Flint fitted for college at Perry Academy, Wyoming County, N. Y. In Freshman year he received the second and in Sopho- more year the first prize, a gold medal, for the solution of mathematical problems. After graduation he taught mathematics one year in Kings- ton Academy, N. Y., and then entered the army as a private in the 130th N. Y. Volunteer Infantry, which, in August, 1863, was transferred to the cavalry service and became known as the 1st N. Y. Dragoons. He remained in service until the close of the war; was promoted in 1862 to be Sergeant and Sergeant Major; March 1, 1863, to be Second Lieutenant; January 1, 1865, to be First Lieutenant; and was brevetted Captain April 1, 1865, "for gallant and meritorious ser- vices in the field." He also served as a staff officer under Gen. Phillip H. Sheridan during the Richmond campaign of 1864. In 1865 he prepared a history of his regiment, which was published in Washington, D. C, by Gibson Brothers. From this history it appears that the regiment participated in forty- five engagements: through all of Sheridan's; with Grant in the campaign from Culpeper C. H. to Richmond; with Sheri- dan in the Shenandoah Valley in the autumn of 1864, and in the final operations around Richmond in 1865. His regiment captured one thousand five hundred and thirty-three prisoners, nineteen pieces of artillery, twenty-one caissons, two hundred and forty artillery horses, forty army wagons and ambulances, one hundred and sixty draught animals and four battle flags. GRADUATES. 67 He was mustered out of the service July 15, 1865. Governor Reuben E. Fenton brevetted him Captain in the New York Volunteers. Returning to teaching, he was Vice-Principal of the Ten- Broeck Academy, Franklinville, N. Y., for two years; Principal of the public schools in Virginia City, Nevada, 1870-71; Superintendent of schools in Storey County in that State, 1872-75. For a time also he kept a successful private school, preparing young ladies for teaching and young men for West Point, Annapolis, University of California, etc. He contrib- uted occasional articles upon education to the columns of The Enterprise, of Virginia City, of which he was city editor for a number of years. In 1886 he removed to San Francisco; and after engaging for a time in teaching and journalism, he entered in 1889 the United States customs service and, by successive promotions on merit, became clerk 1, class 2, in the Naval Office. He continued in that position from 1894 until his death, July 3, 1907, in San Rafael, Cal., at the age of sixty-nine years and seventeen days. He was a resident of San Francisco at the time of the earthquake, April 18, 1906. A letter dated May 30th gives a few details of his own personal experience : — The writer was lying in bed at the time in an upper room of a large wooden structure situated at the corner of Franklin and O'Farrel Streets. The earth's oscillations were in a horizontal direction and succeeded one another with frightful rapidity, the longest shake lasting fifty-seven seconds. The quakings, to use a homely comparison, resembled more than anything else a vicious terrier or bulldog shaking a rat. Those of us who survived the terrible ordeal hung on to whatever material object was within reach. Notwithstanding the terrible commotion the writer dressed deliberately, while a large tank in the garret overhead was delug- ing his bed with water. On going down stairs I looked into the parlor and found all the statuary and household Penates lying flat on the floor face down. The plastering from the ceiling and the bric-a-brac, broken into a thousand pieces, were keeping them company. The pictures on the walls were not disturbed owing to the direction of the oscillations. All of the chandeliers were torn loose from their fastenings and came down with a crash. As we rushed into the street, we could see scores of fires starting up in every direction, caused by the overturning of stoves and lighted lamps, and by escaping gas. 68 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Colonel John P. Irish, Naval Officer of the port of San Francisco, thus writes of Flint under date of October 10, 1907: In the many years of my association with him I always found him a most considerate gentleman and a pleasant companion. He was a ripe and able scholar and kept up his college studies in the Greek and Roman classics and in mathematics to the end. He was of a retiring disposition and made but few acquaintances. In all the qualities that make a man, he was one of the best I have ever known. He was a patriot and citizen of the first rank. He left no family, and his comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic laid him to rest in the military cemetery in the Presidio in San Francisco. Taps never sounded for a truer soldier or a better man. Besides the History of the First New York Dragoons, published in 1865 by Gibson Brothers, Washington, D. C, and his educational articles in the Virginia City Enterprise already referred to, he contributed an occasional article on some theme of the Civil War to the National Tribune of Wash- ington. * Samuel Hanna Frisbee, son of John and Harriette (Pittman) Frisbee, was born July 19, 1840, at Kinderhook, N. Y., and died at Woodstock, Md., February 19, 1907. For biographical sketch see "Fourth Supplement to Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1907. The Woodstock Letters, published at Woodstock College, and of which he was long editor, Vol. XXXVII, Nos. 2 and 3, pp. 209-256, was devoted to memorial tributes to Father Frisbee, from which the following extracts are taken: — Charles G. Herbermann, Ph.D., President of the Associate Alumni of St. Francis Xavier's College at the time when Frisbee was connected with the College, writes: — I was greatly impressed by his earnestness, which never waned, yet never begot undue excitement. His clearheadedness, coupled with a (to me) novel view of things Catholic in America, his modesty, his frank statement of his own views, the courtesy with which he listened to mine, his friendly honesty, his readiness to believe in the honesty of others, and crowning all, his all-embracing charity made a strong and sympathetic impression upon me and combined to cement a friendship which I am proud to say lasted to his death. He was a graduate of Yale and always remained a loyal son of his Alma Mater, willing to accept from her what GRADUATES. (,9 he deemed good for the Catholic cause, ready to bring to her not only true Catholic Doctrine, but the charm, with which universal charity and good-will to all men, which is the essence of the Church, invest everything Catholic. He was an affectionate child of the Church and a devoted son of the Society of Jesus, enthusiastically proud of its great men and great achievements, still not blind to the fact, that the best are subject to error; never seeking for flaws in others, but never defending blunders through clannishness. To me these points of character were infinitely attractive and this attractiveness was enhanced by the peculiar mode of thought which came to him by reason of his ancestry. From the beginning to the end of his administration of the College all his thoughts were concentrated on improving its position both ex- ternally and internally. He reorganized its methods of mathematical instruction, a field in which he was an authority, both because of his knowledge and his experience. He was equally wide-awake to any better- ment of the classical instruction. He was always the same God-loving, God-fearing Christian gentle- man, the same loyal son of St. Ignatius, the same true-hearted friend,, ever zealous for the welfare of the Church, of the Society and of his Country. Father Thomas J. Campbell, S.J., says of his service as Professor of the Sciences at St. Francis Xavier's : His management is yet remembered by many who admired the tremendous energy which Mr. Prisbee brought to his work in the laboratory and especially in the lecture hall, but who were in constant dread of ex- plosions or fire, so unconcerned was he about such possibilities. Looking back on those days one is tempted to think that the Angel Guardian of the College stood side by side with its chemist, as he manipulated gases,, fulminants, and poisons with what seemed to the onlooker a sublime disregard of consequences. These scientific lectures were always novel in their conception and calculated to attract the attention of the public. Mr. Frisbee was chief among those who contributed to the happiness, of the scholastics from New York and Fordham while spending their vacations at Fort Hill on Long Island, — always sacrificing himself for the- comfort of others, always happy, always bubbling over with energy, always planning expeditions to the various bays, islands and inlets of the beautiful country round about. He was the accepted Commodore of the fleet; he organized the crews of the various boats and exacted the strictest obedience to orders as to methods of rowing, etc., which every- one was only too happy to concede; for independently of his buoyant disposition there was a sort of halo about him in the superstition, which he never dispelled, that he had been one of Yale's crack oarsmen. His. physical strength and energy favored the impression. Just as in the midst of his chemical experiments he faced any danger, so in the enjoy- 70 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. ments of vacation he never balked at risks and was apparently unconscious of fear. He passed two years of study at Louvain, Belgium. His memory remains there yet and is recalled by the number of American songs and sports which still enliven the Quinzaine at Egenhoven. Some of the scholastics who succeeded him at Louvain were startled on their arrival by being saluted in the dining-room with the uproarious chorus of ' Upidee,' one of Pere Frisbee's legacies to the general good humor. Of his work as Spiritual Adviser at Woodstock the Memorial from which we are quoting says: — His work as Prefect of Spiritual Things was so important and ex- tensive, that to give an estimate or analysis of it that would be other than painfully deficient for those who know him, is impossible. His exhortations were always full of life, practical, to the point, founded on the soundest spirituality, redolent of the most delightful piety, inspiring the most constant and prudent self-sacrifice, productive of the truest spirit of unselfishness. Under the caption "Father Frisbee as Editor of the Wood- stock Letters," the Memorial continues: — During the eighteen years of his editorship, no province of the Society, however remote, no mission, however small and apparently unpromising, no contribution, however unpretentious, was beyond or beneath his notice. The consequence is a small library of materials geographical, historical, spiritual, educational, literary, which any clergyman might be content to boast of as his sole intellectual armory. The remote mission of Alaska, its more remote counterpart in Iceland; in sharp contrast to these, the tropical outposts of Jamaica, Honduras, Ecuador, receive a fuller and fairer treatment than can be gleaned from many more pretentious volumes. China and Japan are frequently before our notice. The student of the "Exercises" will find in these pages some of the most useful monographs obtainable on that most useful subject. No one who has followed his reports on the Woodstock Academy for the study of the "Ratio," together with the other papers contributed relative to that interesting document, can have further cause to plead ignorance of the spirit and methods of Jesuit pedagogy. Biographical sketches, brief, pointed, sympathetic, make live before us the great lights of our province. Bits of scientific news, achievements of our members everywhere in advancing the boundary lines of knowledge, appear with a most encouraging frequency. Points of contact between our work and the outside world, conferences of educators and scientists, tributes from secular individuals and corporate bodies relieve the series of that narrowness which might otherwise be the bane GRADUATES. 71 of so special a publication. Interesting points of archaeology, generally, but not always, provincial, render more vital our interest in certain localities throughout the province and the whole Society. When we consider that all this treasure of intellect and charity passed under Father Frisbee's personal examination, was in part trans- lated and almost entirely proof-read by him, that to him, in great part, was due the soliciting of these articles and on him entirely devolved their selection and arrangement, and that this work lasted for almost twenty years, we get some idea of the breadth and depth of his sympathies and of the storehouse of useful and ready information, which his well-balanced and liberally-educated mind had become. Milton Frost, son of John Wright and Phebe (Cocks) Frost, entered Yale from Croton, N. Y., where he was born July 26, 1840. After graduation he studied law in New York City until May, 1862, when he removed to Peekskill, N. Y., where he has resided ever since. He was appointed, April 17, 1863, Assist- ant Assessor of Internal Revenue. Though admitted to the Bar at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 11, 1864, he has never engaged in professional practice, but has devoted himself to- some form of business. He was for some years in the employ of the Equitable Life Assurance Company of New York. From 1885 to 1900 he was engaged in the manufacture of Hudson River brick. Since then he has been without business. He is a member of the National Geographical Society, the University Club of Peekskill, N. Y., and of the Yale Alumni Association of Westchester County, N. Y. He was married, July 20, 1864, to Julia Montgomery, daughter of Albert and Emma Louise (Hassert) Wells of Peekskill. They have had four children: John Wells, born May 6, 1865, died November 14, 1886; Emma Montgomery, born July 30, 1867 ; Anne Milton and Henry Lawrence, June 9, 1875. Anne was married, August 17, 1903, to the Rev. Thomas Chalmers Straus. Mrs. Frost died July 19, 1883. * William Henry Fuller was born in Barryville, Sullivan County, N. Y., November 6, 1836, and died in New York City, November 26, 1902. For biographical sketch see the "Third Supplement to Twenty-five Years' Record," pub- lished in 1903. 72 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Walter Hanford, son of Philander and Elizabeth (Hoyt) Hanford, was born in New York, December 1, 1840, from which place he entered Yale. His preparation was made there at the Collegiate School, kept at that time by Messrs. Forrest and Quackenbos. As a scholar he ranked among our "Philo- sophical" men. For fifteen months after graduation he studied law in New York; but trouble with his eyes compelled him to give up all thought of following that profession, and from that time to January, 1870, he was cashier and book-keeper for a firm in that city. For the next twenty-five years he was a member of the firm of C. L. Woodbridge & Co., importers of fancy goods on Broadway, New York. For several years thereafter he was Secretary and Treasurer of the Empire Refrigerating and Ice-Machine Company, formed for the purpose of developing a new system of artificial refrigeration for cold storage and the manufacture of pure ice. He then became connected with the Lawyers' Mortgage Company, No. 59 Liberty Street, New York, with whom he is still associated. He was married February 6, 1873, to Miss Helen Eliza, daughter of Harry and Margaret (Bergen) Wilber, of Batavia, N. Y. A son, Walter McLeod, was born January 26, 1879. * Amasa Franklin Haradon, son of and Sally (Darling) Haradon, was born in Webster, Mass., September 14, 1837, and entered Yale at the beginning of Junior year from Thompson, Conn. He prepared for college at East Greenwich, Conn., and passed the earlier years of the college course at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. He was prominent in rowing, as a member of the race crew of the Atalanta Boat Club, which held the college championship for one season. Soon after graduation he commenced reading law in the office of Hon. T. A. Jenckes (Brown, 1838), Provi- dence, R. I., remaining there until February, 1862, when he was appointed Acting Master's Mate, U. S. Navy. For five months he served upon the frigate "Sabine," nearly the whole time in port. Being desirous of more active service, he applied for detachment from the "Sabine," and was assigned to the GRADUATES. 73 sloop-of-war "Adirondack," which sailed from New York with sealed orders, July 17, 1862. After a brief cruise, in which one schooner was captured, the vessel was wrecked upon Man-of-War Reef, Bahama Islands, and proved a total loss. The "Canandaigua" rescued the officers and crew and carried them into Port Royal, S. C. October 29, 1862,. he was assigned to the gunboat "Commodore Hull," and performed picket duty on the James River for several weeks, and then accom- panied his vessel to Little Washington, N. C, where it was employed as a guard-ship. Nothing occurred until April, 1863, when the town was besieged by fifteen thousand men under Gen. A. P. Hill. Haradon's vessel was then ordered down the Tar River, for the purpose of commanding a neighboring eminence with its guns. During the night the Confederates erected heavy batteries, which completely raked his decks. He gives the following account of the fight which ensued: "At a quarter of six A. M. the enemy opened upon us from two heavy batteries, distant about half a mile. We fought them till four P. M., when our ammunition was exhausted and we attempted to haul off, but the tide being at lowest ebb, our vessel was found to be immovably aground. They continued firing upon us until sundown; We succeeded in keeping the colors flying and at ten P. M. kedged the vessel up to the town. During the day the ship was struck one hundred and three times. At eleven A. M. the three guns under my charge were disabled and most of their crews wounded. The enemy treated me more kindly, merely shooting one button from my vest, clipping fragments from my cap and coat, and a piece from one finger." The siege lasted seventeen days. In the summer of 1863 he resigned from the Navy and taught school at Plainfield, Conn., until April, 1864, when he resumed the study of law in the office of the Hon. W. W. Rice (Bowdoin, 1846), of Worcester, Mass. In March, 1865, he entered the Law School of Harvard University, where he grad- uated in 1866. He began practice in Brooklyn, N. Y., but soon afterward removed to Marshalltown, Iowa, where he prac- ticed his profession, until 1899. In that year he went to Chicago, 111., where he remained, until the death of his wife 74 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. in 1904, when he returned to Marshalltown, which he made his home until shortly before his death in Chicago, June 27, 1909. He was for nearly twenty-four years a Justice of the Peace in Marshalltown. He was married in October, 1868, to Miss Roxellana, daughter of Caleb and Nancy F. (Talbot) Howard, of Cochesett, Mass. She died January 15, 1904. They had two children: Frank Manson, born May 7, 1869, and Fritz How- ard, May 26, 1871. Frank graduated from the Yale Academic department in 1894 and from the Kent Law School, Chicago, in 1896. He is Clerk of the District Court of Marshall County, Iowa, with offices in Marshalltown. Fritz graduated at Phillips Exeter Academy in 1892 and then entered the service of the Iowa Central Railway Company. He is now living in Astoria, Oregon, engaged in the salmon-canning industry. * James Lanman Harmar was born in Chester County, Pa., May 20, 1841, and died August 8, 1880, in Philadelphia, Pa. For biographical sketch see "Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1888. Alfred Hemenway, son of Fisher and Elizabeth Jones (Fitch) Hemenway, was born August 17, 1839, in Hopkinton, Mass. From there he entered Yale, having obtained his preparation in the town High School. He remained at home the first year after graduation, studying in a law office. The second year was passed at the Cambridge Law School, and on the 13th of July, 1863, he was admitted to the Bar in Boston, where he has been prac- ticing his profession since October, 1863. He soon after formed a law partnership with the Honorable John D. Long (Harvard, '57), late Governor of Massachusetts and Secretary of the Navy. This partnership was dissolved in January, 1909. He quickly obtained an extensive practice and for many years has been a leader at the Boston Bar. He was President of the Bar Association of the City of Boston, 1905- 09, and in 1910 was elected President of the Massachusetts State Bar Association. He has repeatedly declined positions upon the bench of the higher courts of that State. In 1901 it GRADUATES. 75 was generally understood that President McKinley intended to appoint Hemenway to the United States Supreme Court upon the retirement of Justice Gray. But the death of the President in September of that year prevented the consum- mation of his purpose. Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts in 1897 appointed him sole commissioner to draft an Act embodying the principles of the Torrens system of Land Trans- fer; this Act is now on the statute book. In 1906 he was designated by the Judges of the Superior Court Chairman of the Record Commission for the County of Suffolk. He was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association in 1890, and at its meeting in 1905 gave the ' ' Annual Address. ' ' His subject was "The American Lawyer. ' ' Beginning in 1884 he delivered for a number of years an annual course of lectures on "The Principles of the Common Law," at Lasell Female Seminary, Auburndale, Mass. In 1897 he was a member of the Board of Visitors, to inspect the Naval Academy at Annapolis. On retiring from the Presidency of the Massachusetts Bar Association in December, 1911, he gave the "annual address," which was printed in part in the Boston Transcript for December 29. A few quotations are given below: It was the boast of Augustus that he found Rome brick and left it marble — so the officers, whom you honored by election in 1910, found a voluntary association and have endowed it with corporate immortality. Under the revised laws of Massachusetts your association was incorporated as the "Massachusetts Bar Association." The retirement of Mr. Chief Justice Knowlton from the high office he has filled to the universal acceptance of the bar and the people of the Commonwealth was a source of sincere regret. By his integrity, wisdom, ability, learning and unfailing courtesy he won our admiration and re- spect as a magistrate and our regard and affection as a man. Although unable to be present with us he writes: "I send the greetings of a friend and companion to the members of the Association, and I deeply regret that I cannot meet them face to face." I doubt not that this kind greeting will receive a graceful acknowledgment by this Association. We are a homogeneous people. We live under one general Govern- ment. So far as we belong to the great family of nations — so far as we are a world power we exist as the United States. The powers belonging to the separate States that have been surrendered to the Union have de- prived them of a part of their independent sovereignty. They still have 76 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. _ large powers, but each is only a part of a great whole. The nations do not recognize their individuality. They deal with the whole, not with the parts. Yet in our dual system of government these matters which are nearest to the business and bosoms of men are controlled by the local law of the several States. Marriage and divorce, wills, the title to lands, minority, mortgages, mechanics' liens, the law of highways and interstate commerce, and the numberless duties and contracts which are perpetually recurring in every civilized community are all subjects of private concern and interest, but matters which so affect the general welfare that they are regulated by law in every State, and in this regulation each State is sovereign and in- dependent. In their internal affairs the general Government has neither power nor concern. The law of each State is supreme. In these matters of vital concern there is a real conflict of laws. In this respect the several States are foreign States. Their respective enactments have no extra- territorial force. Yet the law of each State may so differ that the same act may be good in one State and invalid in another simply from the manner of its performance. This diversity of means to accomplish the same end is needless. Only concurrent legislation by the several States can secure uniformity. Such uniformity would be a long step in the simplifying not only of the administration of the law, but the law itself. This is a platitude, yet it is expedient by reiteration to keep in mind these commonplaces. In statute law there is no comity. If judicial confirmation be needed the case of Sewall et al vs. Wilmer et al, 132 Mass., 181, might be cited as an apt illustration. In this case we have the last of the many learned and masterly opinions of Chief Justice Gray. It involved the validity of the exercise of a power of appointment created by a will made and allowed in Massachusetts. The donee lived in Maryland and there exercised the power, The local law of the respective States differed. Yet in deciding which law was applicable to the undisputed facts, the court was divided in opinion. Since modern ingenuity, by steam and electricity, has annihilated time and space the burden of non- conformity in local law has become intolerable. There is but one remedy and that is uniformity of legislation. Law and lawyers are a time-worn theme for caustic pens. Wit has exhausted itself in the ridicule of our profession. In literature and on the stage the lawyer is caricatured. But in spite of ignorant criticism and wanton abuse the lawyer is in the ascendant. Our Government is a govern- ment of lawyers. Our Declaration and constitutions are the work of lawyers. Our legislatures are controlled by lawyers. Of all men the lawyer is most independent. He is the adviser of others. He occupies a superior position. It is human to antagonize superiority. In Massa- chusetts our roll of great lawyers is long. Their names are our boasted inheritance. It is not alone the great men who give character to a pro- fession. Each is a unit of energy. GRADUATES. 77 For the years 1900-05 he was President of the University Club of Boston. He presided at the tenth annual debate between Harvard and Princeton held at Sanders Theatre, Cambridge, May 6, 1904. He was one of the principal speakers at the annual banquet of the New England Society of Penn- sylvania, December 22, 1905. His address appears in full in the published pamphlet commemorating the occasion, pp. 60-68. He spoke at the annual dinner of the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard, June 28, 1906. In 1910 he was President of the Yale Club of Boston. In its account of the Club dinner on January 26, a Boston newspaper said: — Alfred Hemenway '61, president of the club, whose ripe experience and old school dignity made him such a fine presiding officer at the Yale club dinner to President Taft last summer, was toastmaster last evening, and serious, not to say austere, as was his mein, he told a larger number of funny stories during the evening than any toastmaster at a Boston Yale dinner for many years past. He is a member of the University, Union, Boston Art,. Curtis, and Jury Clubs. He was married, October 14, 1871, to Miss Myra L. Mc- Lanathan, who died April 10, 1896, without children. * William Henry Higbee, son of Dr. Charles and Caro- line (Howell) Higbee, was born November 3, 1839, in Phila- delphia, Pa., and died in New York City September 21, 1900. For biographical sketch see the "Third Supplement to Twenty- five Years' Record," published in 1903. Anthony Higgins, son of Anthony Madison and Sarah (Corbit) Higgins, was born October 1, 1840, at St. George's, Del., from which place he came to Yale. His great-grand- father was Lawrence Higgins, who came from Belfast, Ire- land, about 1740, and acquired an estate of five hundred acres in Red Lion Hundred, New Castle County, Del., which estate is still in possession of the family. Through his pa- ternal grandmother, Martha Witherspoon, he was descended from David Witherspoon, who came from Londonderry, Ire- land, and settled in Middletown, ■ Del. ; and through her 78 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. mother, Susanna Bouchelle, there is in the family a French Huguenot strain. His mother, Sarah Clark Corbit, was descended from Daniel Corbit, a Scotch Quaker, who came to Philadelphia and Delaware in the time of William Penn. Her mother, Mary Clark, was the daughter of John Clark, Governor of Delaware, 1816-19, whose father, William Clark, served as Captain of Delaware Infantry at the battle of Mon- mouth in the Revolution. Higgins entered Sixty-One at the beginning of Sophomore year, having previously been connected with Delaware College, for which he was mainly prepared by Professor Talleyrand Grover. After graduation he studied law at New Castle, Del., and at the Harvard Law School; was admitted to the Bar May 9, 1864, at New Castle, and has since been practicing his profession at Wilmington, Del. For several years he was Assistant Attorney to the Attorney General for the District of Wilmington, and was appointed April 9, 1869, Attorney of the United States for the District of Delaware, which position he held until July, 1876. His first appearance in politics was in 1863, when he at- tracted much attention by his brilliant oratory upon the stump. In 1867 he was one of the most active spirits in the Border State Convention at Baltimore to promote the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the Federal constitution. He was one of the original three hundred who voted the Repub- lican ticket in Delaware, and was chairman of the Republican State Committee in 1868. In 1881 he was the Republican nominee for United States Senator from that State, and in 1884 received the Republican nomination for Congress. In January, 1889, the Republicans now having a majority in the legislature, he was elected to the United States Senate and served for six years, until March 4, 1895. He was a candidate for re-election, to which he was fairly entitled, and a majority of the Republicans supported him in caucus; but he was defeated after a long and bitter struggle between the two factions of the party. The contest between them was carried before the Republican National Convention in June, 1896, where Higgins and his delegation were admitted to seats and GRADUATES. 79 endorsed as representing the regular organization. He was Chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee in the Presidential Campaign of 1892, and a member of National Conventions in 1876, 1892 and 1896. He has taken an active interest in the "Atlantic Inland Waterways Conference," organized in Philadelphia in Novem- ber, 1907, and holding annual meetings in November of each year since then. At the meeting of 1907 he made an address on "The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, its History and Commerce." He has also been an active member of the "National Congress of Rivers and Harbors," which meets in December annually in Washington. On February 22, 1893, he spoke before the Michigan Club in Detroit on "Our Manifest Destiny," published by George R. Gray, Washington, D. C. He is a member of the Delaware Historical Society, which has published two papers of his, one on "The Inland Water Route to Norfolk," and the other, "A Historical Address at the Two Hundreth An- niversary of the Drawyers Presbyterian Church of Odessa, Del.," June 7, 1908. While in the Senate, he was a member of the following committees : — Fifty-First Congress. To examine the various branches of the Civil Service, Chairman. Agriculture. Claims. District of Columbia. Fifty-Second Congress. Manufactures, Chairman. Coast Defences. District of Columbia. Interstate Commerce. Privileges and Elections. To investigate Trespasses on Cherokee Lands. (Select.)

He was President of the Yale Alumni Association of Dela- ware, 1908-1909. * Charles Borland Hill was born in Montgomery, N. Y., May 16, 1836, and died in New York, October 9, 1873. For biographical sketch see "Twenty-five Years' Record," pub- lished in 1888. * James Nevins Hyde entered college from New Rochelle, N. Y., but was born in Norwich, Conn., June 21, 1840. His parents were Edward Goodrich and Hannah Huntington (Thomas) Hyde. His father was for some years a merchant in New Orleans, La. After Freshman year his home was Cincinnati, Ohio. He fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., under Dr. Samuel H. Taylor. As a scholar he ranked as a high oration man. He received a prize in composition in Sophomore year and a prize for a poem. He had a noteworthy gift as a poet, which he freely used to en- liven occasions of special class interest. The Parting Ode, which he wrote for our Presentation Day exercises, has always been cherished for its melody and beauty of form and for its GRADUATES. 81 appropriateness. To our thirty-fifth anniversary meeting in 1896 he contributed a fine poem of considerable length, en- titled "The Ivy of Sixty-One." In the fall of 1861 he began the study of medicine with Dr. William H. Draper in the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. In the peninsular campaign of 1862 he aided in the transfer of the sick and wounded from McClellan's army to northern ports and in caring for the wounded in the battles of Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill. In the autumn of 1862 and the following winter he spent ten months in the hospitals of Washington, performing the duties of assistant surgeon. After examination he was appointed, July 14, 1863, an acting as- sistant surgeon of Volunteers and was recommended to the board of examiners of the regular service. Meanwhile, he was ordered to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron and, after serving on several vessels, was placed in charge of the naval hospital at New-Berne, N. C. In October, 1863, he was •commissioned as assistant surgeon in the regular Navy, stand- ing second on the examination among thirty candidates. He immediately went on duty at the Washington Navy Yard, hut after a few months was assigned to the " San Jacinto," flagship of the East Gulf Blockading Squadron, with which he cruised in the Gulf of Mexico during 1864. He was then for a few months on hospital duty at Key West, Fla., where he had great success in combating an epidemic of yellow fever. In 1865 he cruised in the West Indies on board the "Powhatan." In the autumn of that year he was ordered to the "Ticonde- roga" of the European Squadron, which under the command of Admiral Farragut visited the ports of the Mediterranean and •of Northern and Western Europe and the coast of Africa as far south as St. Paul de Loando. In 1867 he was made passed assistant surgeon. Returning home early in 1867, he was on duty for one year at the Clare Naval Hospital, Washington, D. C. In March, 1868, he resigned from the Navy and, after attending the second course of medical lectures at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, received the degree of M.D. from that institution in 1869. From that date to his death he practiced his profession in Chicago, 111., with marked success 82 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. and distinction. He was Lecturer on skin diseases in the Rush Medical College of Chicago, 1873-1876; Professor of Der- matology, Northwestern University, 1876-1878; Professor of skin and genito-urinary diseases, Rush Medical College (in recent years affiliated with the University of Chicago), 1879— 1910; and Professorial Lecturer on Dermatology, Univer- sity of Chicago, 1902-1910. In 1879 he received an ad eundem degree in Medicine from Rush Medical College. He was for many years secretary of the council of administration and of the faculty of the College. He has also served as United States examining surgeon for pensions, as surgeon of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway, and as dermatologist to the Presbyterian, Michael Reese, Augustana and Children's Memorial Hospitals and the Orphan Asylum of Chicago. He was President of the American Dermatological Society in 1881 and 1896; member of the International Congresses of Dermatology, 1889-1907, and Secretary for America of the Fifth Congress in 1905; corresponding member of the Societe Francaise de Dermatologie ; of the Berlin and the Vienna Dermatologische Gesellschaft, and honorary member of the Societa Italiana di Dermatologia; also a 'member of the British Medical Association and of other European and American medical and scientific societies. He was a voluminous writer upon subjects in the line of his profession. He published several encyclopedic works upon, diseases of the skin; these treatises have passed through a number of editions and are regarded as of the highest authority. His contributions to medical journals, both in this country and in Europe, and published papers read before medical societies, were very numerous. At least one hundred are listed in the Transactions of the American Dermatological Society. Besides these professional publications, he wrote occasionally for maga- zines; also an historical sketch of "Early Medical Chicago." He was editor for some years of the Chicago Medical Journal and Examiner, and Collaborates of the New York Archives of Dermatology. He had been President of the Chicago Yale Alumni As- sociation, and was a member of the University, Literary,. GRADUATES. 83 Onwentsia, and Saddle and Cycle Clubs of Chicago; of the Society of Sons of the American Revolution; of Colonial Wars; and was Governor of the Society of Mayflower Descendants, State of Illinois. He was married, July 31, 1872, to Miss Alice Louise Gris- wold. They had two children, Charles Cheney Hyde (Y. C, 1895), bom May 22, 1873, Associate Professor of Law at the Northwestern University, Chicago, who gave courses in inter- national law at the Yale Law School, 1907-1908, in the absence of Professor Woolsey; and James Nevins Hyde, Jr., born in January, 1909. Doctor Hyde died suddenly at his summer home at Prout's Neck, Me., September 6, 1910, at the age of seventy years, two months and fifteen days. Volume XXVIII. (November, 1910) of The Journal of Cutaneous Diseases, of which Doctor Hyde was an editorial director, contains an obituary notice, from which a few quo- tations are here given: — Dr. Hyde was one of the pioneers in America in his chosen specialty, dermatology. His name has been prominently connected with American Dermatology since his entrance into this field in 1873. He has been iden- tified with the American Dermatological Association since its organization, and has been twice honored with its presidency. He attended its meetings with regularity, presented a paper on some scientific subject almost every year, served on important committees, presented statistical reports, and in every way did all he could to promote its welfare. During the war and afterward, for a period of six years all told, he served as Assistant and Passed-Assistant Surgeon of the Navy. He per- formed heroic duty toward the end of the war in the battle waged against yellow fever off Key West, Florida. During this time his two superior medical officers succumbed to the disease and left him as medical officer in charge, though only a young man. So well did he perform this duty that he was rewarded with a special letter of praise by the Secretary of the Navy, and later was commissioned by President Lincoln to make that memorable voyage under command of Admiral Farragut on the " Ticonderoga " to various European ports and through the Mediterranean. "Every officer on this voyage was a picked man who had won distinction in the struggle for the Union." Dr. Hyde's record as a contributor of written articles on scientific dermatology is one of which we are all proud. His treatise on diseases of 84 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. the skin, published first in 1883, underwent eight complete revisions and grew from a modest volume containing five hundred and sixty pages in the text, with sixty-six illustrations, to a volume of over eleven hundred pages in the text, with two hundred and twenty-three illustrations, and fifty-eight full-page plates in the eighth edition, published in 1909. This work was classical and typical of its author. It was scientific, always contained the more advanced thought on the subject and, as has been said by one of his colleagues, was an index to the advancement of the science of dermatology throughout the last twenty-six years. In addition to this monumental work covering the entire field of dermatology, his contributions of special articles • amounted in number to much more than a hundred, and he always spent much time, labor and money in making these complete both in the way of literature ref- erences, personal research and photographic illustrations. This latter fact was well illustrated within the present year in two articles, one on pellagra, the other on sporotrichosis. That his enthusiasm in working out a subject was appreciated by his associates was well shown in May, when he presented his last article on sporotrichosis before the Dermatological Section of the Congress of Physicians and Surgeons held in Washington. The thoroughness with which every phase of this subject was worked out was commented upon by all. Dr. Hyde presented many papers before the Chicago Literary Club on topics outside of medicine and was once honored with the presidency of that organization. He also contributed many literary articles that were read on special occasions. At a banquet given General Sheridan on the fiftieth anniversary of his birthday, Dr. Hyde read a classical article entitled "Asleep and Awake." Another classic he has left us is entitled "Historical Strawberries." Another volume of great value is his "Early Medical Chicago," an historical work of note. As a public-spirited citizen in the commonwealth in which he re- sided, Dr. Hyde was always identified with any movement instituted for the betterment of the social and economic problems arising in a great city. He was a member of the Vice Commission, a recent organization instituted by the city government of Chicago to meet the needs of certain social problems at present confronting the public. The report of the Com- mission in April, 1911, has made a profound impression. As a lecturer and teacher, Dr. Hyde held an unrivaled position. He was held in the highest esteem and personal regard by hundreds of physicians throughout the Middle and entire West who have had the privi- lege of receiving his instruction. His dermatological clinic at Rush Medical College was famous. Dur- ing the many years he held it, his regular and punctual attendance was a notable achievement for so busy a man. His kind and courteous treatment of the patients of the class that attend public clinics was an inspiration to the hundreds of physicians and students who for thirty-one years were in- structed there. No opportunity was ever lost by Dr. Hyde to make useful men as well as skillful physicians of the students receiving his instruction. GRADUATES. 85 Words cannot express the feelings of sadness and of great personal loss aroused in the hearts of his associates in the Faculty of the College. As Secretary of the Board of Administration and of the Faculty for years, he has been closely identified with everything affecting the policies and the destinies of the institution. Every movement suggested for the ad- vancement of the College, to place it in the front rank among institutions, striving to maintain high ideals for imparting medical instruction had his loyal and heartfelt support. As a practitioner of medicine Dr. Hyde's influence extended from one end of the continent to the other. His great strength of character, charming personality, and personal magnetism bound his legion of patients to him to a degree not commonly appreciated. The great good he accom- plished, not only in relieving their physical ills, but in directing their future lives, is a matter of such magnitude, that its far-reaching consequences can only be partly told. From the standpoint of time Dr. Hyde lived many years and at the time of his death had rounded out the three score and ten years allotted to man; yet in mental and physical vigor he was still a young man, and his marvelous intellect was as keen and bright as it had been at any period of his life. His high ideals, his pure-minded life, his gracious thoughtfulness for all who were near to him, and the daily example of his noble life, leave a heritage that no worldly price can buy. At the Annual Meeting of the American Dermatological Association in 1911 a special committee presented a memorial tribute to his life and work. After recounting the main events of his life, this tribute proceeds: — Thus he passed forty years, devoted with utmost zeal and enthusiasm to the study and practice of his specialty. He was also a successful teacher and untiring writer. He published the first edition of his world-known work on skin diseases in 1883 and the eighth and last in 1909. You all know the character of this work, how thoroughly it covers the whole field of dermatological literature and re- search, what individuality and independence of opinion it expressed, how discriminating and reliable its advice with regard to treatment; a highly satisfactory guide for practitioners and advanced students. It must long remain a chief authority for reference, a great monument to his ability and industry. In 1896 he also published, in connection with our late colleague, Dr. F. H. Montgomery, a large manual on syphilis and venereal diseases. His occasional and highly-valued articles on dermatology numbered a hundred or more. In addition to this vast amount of professional labor he was an 86 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. active member of his church, and engaged in literary and philanthropic work. Dr. Hyde assisted in forming this Association in 1876. From that beginning until his death he served the Association with constant zeal and fidelity, giving the best that was in him to its interests, as President, Chairman of many important committees, never failing attendance at meetings, contributor of many important papers, and animated debater. His enthusiasm was an inspiration to all of us, his cheerful personality, his ready sympathy and never-failing respect for colleagues made his friendship to be highly desired by all. In a letter to the Secretary, Oliver McClintock thus writes of him: — Dr. Hyde was indeed one of the most attractive personally, one of the most high-toned in character, and one of the most useful of the men of Sixty-One. In college his character was of a positive Christian type. He greatly endeared himself to everybody; was always bright and full of life, radiating sunshine and good cheer wherever he went. I remember him as accurate and thorough in scholarship, mastering with ease the college tasks and maintaining a high stand without any apparent effort. The mental discipline and thorough training, then acquired, doubtless furnished the solid basis on which he afterward built an admirable structure of professional success. When I saw him last, a few years ago, in his summer home which surmounted one of the ruggedest spots on the Maine Coast at Scar- borough, he had the same ruddy complexion, bright, black eyes and jolly laugh as of old. His professional achievements and honors had not diminished by a particle the bubbling life and spontaneity, so charac- teristic of his college days. PUBLICATIONS. Books. 1879.

Brayton Ives entered: college from New Haven, but was born in Farmington, Conn., August 23, 1840. His parents were William A. and Julia (Root) Ives. His preparation was obtained at the Collegiate and Commercial Institute, General William H. Russell (Y. C, '33), New Haven, and at the Hopkins Grammar School, then under the principalship of the Reverend James M. Whiton (Y. C, '53). He was prom- inent in athletic activities as Captain of the Nereid Boat Club and First Fleet Captain of the Yale Navy, and was on the University Crew which raced with Harvard in 1860. He was commissioned, July 23, 1861, as First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the Fifth Connecticut Volunteers, and the Class presented him with a sword and sash. September 25, 1861, he was promoted to be Captain and became Assistant Adjutant General with the rank of Captain, April 28, 1862, on the Staff of Brigadier General Orris S. Ferry (Y. C, '44). He served in this capacity until July, 1863, when he was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel of the Fifth Connecti- cut; but in consequence of a state of health which forbade his continuing in the field, he resigned August 5, 1863, and in October following entered the Yale Law School. Here he remained until commissioned Major of the First Connecticut Cavalry, May 31, 1864. He was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel of the same, November 1, 1864, and Colonel, January 17, 1865. During the war he served successively under Banks, Shields, and McDowell in the Shenandoah Valley, under Mc- Clellan, Dix, and Foster in the Department of Fortress Mon- 88 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. roe, with Hunter and Gillmore in South Carolina, and Lock- wood in Maryland, and in the various operations of Gen. Sheridan's Cavalry Corps with the Army of the Potomac and in the Shenandoah Valley, during 1864-65. His horse was shot under him at the battle of Harper's Farm, near Peters- burg, Va., April 4, 1865 ; and he was in command of the troops who escorted General Grant to the conference with General Lee, at Appomattox Court House, April 9, 1865, which re- sulted in the surrender of the Confederate army. In July, 1865, his regiment was selected for provost duty in Washing- ton, D. C, where he remained until his muster out of service, August 2, 1865. He was brevetted Brigadier General, March 13, 1865, "for gallantry at the battles of Ream's Station, Deep Bottom, Five Forks, and Sailors' Creek." Soon after leaving the army he engaged for a year in min- ing operations in Nova Scotia, and since 1866 has been in business in New York City, where he has held many positions of prominence and responsibility in the financial world. Dur- ing the years 1867-89 he was a stock-broker in Wall Street, firm of Brayton Ives and Company. Henry L. Johnson (Y. C, '60), was associated with him for a number of years. In 1876-77 he was Vice-President of the New York Stock Exchange and President, 1878-79; 1890-96, President of the Western National Bank of New York City; 1893-96, Presi- dent of the Northern Pacific Railway; since 1891, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.; "since 1896, President of the Metropolitan Trust Company of New York. Besides these he has been President of the Atlantic Safe De- posit Company, the Standard Milling Company, the Hecker- Jones- Jewell Milling Company, the Kanona-Plattsburg Rail- road, the Metcalf Land Company; a director in the Northern Pacific Railway Company, National Bank of Commerce, and the United States Guarantee Company, and a trustee of the New York Stock Exchange Building Company. In May, 1908, he was elected President of the Williamsburg Trust Company, Brooklyn, N. Y., which had been for a few months in the hands of a receiver after the panic of 1907. GRADUATES. 89 He was a passenger on board of the White Star steamship "Republic" on the way to Europe when it was rammed and sunk off Nantucket by the "Florida," January 23, 1908. In a newspaper account of his experience, he said: — I was asleep at the time of the collision. Having lived near the Penn- sylvania Railroad tunnel excavation, where blasts have awakened me many nights, I thought in the first daze of my awakening, that it was another blast. But when I became fully aroused and realized where I was, I knew that it was something worse than a blast. All the lights had gone out. A friend had given me a wax candle before I sailed, to be used in just such an emergency, and it stood on a table by the side of my berth. I believe that candle was the only light on the whole ship. I lighted it, dressed and went on deck. In the transfer of the passengers from the "Republic" to the "Florida" his skill at the oar in college had not forsaken him, though it was the first time he had handled an oar in forty years. Ives has been among the leading Wall Street virtuosos and book collectors, his collections having a worldwide repute. They included antiques, books and manuscripts, Oriental porcelains, vases, jades, metal work, lacquers, carved stones and ivory, Japanese swords and daggers, besides "Americana." Among early books were a fine copy of the Gutenberg or Mazarin Bible in two volumes, dated 1450 or 1455 ; John Eliot's Indian Bible, one of twenty copies dedicated to King Charles; the Pembroke "Book of Hours," dated about 1440; a copy of the "Catholicon" of Balbos, the first dictionary; first editions of Greek and Latin classics; and early editions of Shakespeare's plays. The "Americana" included letters of Columbus and Fernando Cortez, and Vespucius documents, etc. A notable event was the sale of this collection in 1891 in New York. In the introduction to the catalogue of the collection Ives tells how he developed "book madness": — Nearly twenty years ago I began a tolerably comprehensive course of historical reading. In selecting the works necessary for this I got into the way of frequenting booksellers' shops, and thus became inoculated with the disease, which, in its development, made me a collector.

In 1888 he was a New York State Republican presidential elector. He was married, February 6, 1867, to Miss Ellen A. Bissell, of Norwalk, Conn. They have had four children: Winifred, born, September 4, 1869; Sherwood Bissell, December 30, 1870, died at Datil, New Mexico, February 16, 1907, of peri- tonitis due to a wound from the accidental discharge of a revolver; and Eunice, born November, 1872; and Fanny Havens, July, 1875.

Frederick Rowland Jones, son of Obadiah W. and Eliza- beth (Rowland) Jones, came to Yale from Fairfield, Conn., where he was born September 19, 1839. He prepared for •college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., under Dr. Samuel H. Taylor. Soon after graduation he went into business in New York, firm of Jones & Company, New York City Roller Flour Mills, Nos. 37-47 Broome Street, with whom he has been actively associated until recent years, when the concern became a member of the Hecker- Jones-Jewell Milling Company, of New York. He has never married. He is still living in New York. Walter Franklin Jones, son of David S. and Mary (Clinton) Jones, entered Yale from Poughkeepsie, N. Y., but was born at Fort Neck, Long Island, February 16, 1841. He was of Holland-Dutch and English descent. The first Jones of his family in this country was Thomas who, after fighting on the side of King James II at the battle of the Boyne in 1690 and some years of adventure at sea, came to America .and settled on Long Island. Among the later members of the family was William Jones, a distinguished jurist, who was called the "Father of the New York Bar." His grandson, David S., Walter's father, was a New York lawyer of distinc- tion. Walter's mother, Mary Clinton, was a daughter of DeWitt Clinton, well known as Mayor of New York, Governor of the State and United States Senator. The first of the Clintons to come to America was Charles, nephew of Henry Clinton, Earl of Lincoln. Charles settled in what is now 92 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Orange County, N. Y., early in the eighteenth century, married there into the Dutch Tappan family and served in the French wars. One of his sons, James, was a Major General in the Revolutionary War and married Mary DeWitt, of the Holland family of that name. DeWitt Clinton, son of James, was Walter Jones' grandfather and married Maria Franklin, daughter of one of the leading merchants of that day in New York City. In the fall of 1861 Jones entered the army as Second Lieu- tenant in the 61st New York; remained in the service ten or eleven months, and was then compelled to resign in conse- quence of a severe and protracted attack of typhoid fever. He then began the study of law in New York; was admitted to the Bar in 1865, and immediately commenced practice in that city. In 1871 he removed to Portland, Oregon, where he practiced law awhile; but soon took up educational work, which, with occasional brief interruptions, was his occupation until 1905. He taught for a year in the Bishop Scott Epis- copal School of Portland, Ore., then for several years in Victoria, B. C, and Wellington, Vancouver's Island, and a little later in San Francisco, where he was also engaged by Hubert H. Bancroft, the historian, to translate Latin and Spanish records of the old missions in California. Afterwards he taught in Salem, Oregon, and for several years in Dayton, State of Washington. Returning to New York, he taught for a short time in Churchill's School on Madison Avenue. He then went back to California about 1882 and soon after located in Crescent City, Cal., where he "remained for the next twenty years, conducting a private school and for a time teaching Latin in the high school. In 1905 he went to Los Angeles, Cal., intending to continue teaching; but the state of his health absolutely forbidding this, he was, by the advice of his physician, admitted to the Soldiers' Home near that city, where he now is. He is a veteran of the Seventh Regiment, New York National Guard; also a member of the Society of American Wars, ancestors on his mother's side having been officers in three wars and on his father's side in two.

For biographical sketch see "First Supplement to Twenty-five Years' Record," pub- lished in 1892. In Scribner's Monthly for June, 1881, Kinney gives a graphic account of the Battle of Mobile Bay, fought by Admiral Farragut, August 5, 1864, one of the greatest sea fights of the Civil War. Kinney was signal officer on the Flagship Hartford and during the action sat upon the crosstrees of the fore-top-mast, from which coign-of-vantage he transmitted to the fleet the orders of the Admiral, who was himself lashed to the rigging just below the main-top. The following are a few extracts from the above article: — The gray glimmer of dawn was just beginning to struggle through a dense fog when we were aroused at three o'clock next morning, August 5th, and the work of forming line was begun. A hasty lunch of sand- wiches and coffee was served, the Admiral proposing to have breakfast inside the bay at the regular hour. The precautions necessary for man- euvering through the fog made an unavoidable delay, for it was the Admiral's intention to have the fleet close to the fort before sunrise. It was a weird sight as the big ships "balanced to partners," the dim out- lines slowly emerging like phantoms in the fog. It was fifteen minutes of six o'clock before the whole fleet got under way. About sunrise, while the line was being formed, a light breeze sprang up and scattered the fog, leaving us a bright and beautiful day. The fleet presented a magnificent sight as the stately ships moved on, each with the stars and stripes flying from every mast-head, and the men gathered at their guns ready for work. 94 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. On the previous night the Admiral had issued orders that the army signal officers were not to be allowed on deck during the fight, but were to go into the cock-pit on the lower deck and assist the surgeons. The reason assigned was that these officers would not be needed during the passage of the forts, but would be wanted afterward to open communica- tion with the army, and that therefore it would be a misfortune to have any of them disabled. The two officers on the Hartford disrelished this order exceed- ingly, and after consulting together, decided that in the confusion of the occasion, their presence on deck would probably not be noticed, and that they would evade the command if possible. In this they were successful until shortly before passing Sand Island and coming within range of Fort Morgan. Then the lynx-eyed executive officer, Lieutenant Com- mander Kimberly, came to them very quietly and politely, and told them the Admiral's order must be obeyed. We made our way to the stifling hold, where Surgeon Lansdale and Assistant-Surgeon Commons, with their helpers, were quietly sitting, with their implements, bandages, and other paraphernalia spread out ready for use. Nearly every man had his watch in his hand and waited for the first shot. To us, ignorant of everything going on above, every minute seemed an hour, and there was a feeling of great relief when the boom of the first gun was heard. * * * Soon the cannon-balls began to crash through the deck above us, and then the thunder of our whole broadside of twelve Dahlgren guns kept the vessel in a quiver. But as yet no wounded were sent down, and we knew we were still at comparatively long range. In the intense excitement of the occasion it seemed that hours had passed, but it was just twenty minutes from the time we went below, when an officer shouted down the hatchway: "Send up an army signal officer immediately: the Brooklyn is signaling." In a moment the writer was on deck, where he found the situation as follows: The Brooklyn, directly in front of us, had stopped, and was backing and signaling. The tide was with us, setting strongly through the channel, and the stopping of the Brooklyn threatened to bring the whole fleet into collision and confusion. The advance vessels of the line were trying to back to prevent a catastrophe, but were apparently not able to overcome the force of the current, and there was danger not only of collision, but of being drifted on shore. Meanwhile, the almost sta- tionary fleet made a splendid point-blank target for the fort and for the four Confederate vessels, all of which were doing their utmost, giving us a terrible raking, making cruel havoc among the men, and ugly holes in the sides of the ships. Running to the forecastle, I took the message of Captain Alden of the Brooklyn, which was : "The monitors are right ahead; we cannot go on without passing them." Transmitting the message to the Admiral by an aid, he replied at once: "Order the monitors ahead, and go on." GRADUATES. 95 As the message was sent, the starboard bow-gun of the Hartford opened fire on the ram Tennessee, and the great volume of smoke follow- ing each discharge hid the Brooklyn from view, and made it impossible to receive or transmit messages from that part of the ship, while the smoke from the other guns made it equally difficult from any other part of the deck. The smoke hung low in the air, and I thought it best to try and get above it, and accordingly ran up the rigging to the foretop. But the Hartford had a howitzer in her foretop, which was hard at work, under the management of half a dozen sailors, throwing grape and canister into the water-battery in front of the fort, and making it as difficult to signal here as it was on deck. So, not knowing what else to do, I kept on up the rigging to the top-gallant cross-trees, where there was just room to sit, holding on with the left arm around the peak of the top-mast. From this point, above all smoke, the scene was indescribably grand and terrific. The fight was at its hottest. The Union fleet had reached the line, the crossing of which meant victory, and the result depended on the next few minutes. Just at this moment, to the horror of all, the monitor Tecumseh, a few hundred yards in the advance, seemed to stagger for a moment, then suddenly careened, and almost instantly disappeared beneath the water, carrying with her her commander, Captain Tunis A. M. Craven and one hundred and twenty officers and men, hopelessly imprisoned in their iron coffin. During all this time the Brooklyn had failed to move ahead, and now , she delayed to signal back the fact already too well known: "Our best monitor is sunk." The message was sent to the admiral by an aide and the brief answer was returned, "Go on!" But still, for some mysterious reason, perhaps fear of the torpedoes, perhaps misapprehension of orders, the Brooklyn halted, and the delay was every instant more threatening and dangerous. It was the decisive moment of the day. Owing to our position, only our few bow-guns could be used, while a deadly rain of shot and shell was falling on us, and our men were being cut down by scores, unable to make reply. The sight on the deck of the Hartford was sickening beyond the power of words to portray. Shot after shot came through the side, mow- ing down the men, deluging the decks with blood, scattering mangled fragments of humanity so thickly that it was difficult to stand on the deck, so slippery was it. The old expression of the "scuppers running blood," "the slippery deck," etc., give but the faintest idea of the spectacle on the Hartford. The mast upon which I was perched was twice struck, once slightly, and again just below the fore-top by a 120-pound shell, from a Blakely rifle on the rebel gunboat Selma. Fortunately the shell, which was about two feet long by eight inches in diameter, came tumbling end over end, and buried itself in the mast butt-end first, leaving the percussion-cap 96 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. protruding. Had it come point first, or had it struck at any other part of the mast than in the re-inforced portion where the heel of the top- mast laps the top of the lower mast, this contribution to the literature of the war would probably have been lost to the world, as the distance to the deck was some one hundred feet. As it was, the sudden jar would have dislodged anyone from the crosstrees, had not the shell been visible from the time it left the Selma, thus giving time to prepare for it by an extra grip around the top of the mast. Finding that the Brooklyn failed to obey his orders, the admiral hurriedly inquired of the pilot if there was sufficient depth of water for the Hartford to pass to the left of the Brooklyn. Receiving an affirma- tive reply, he said: "I will take the lead," and immediately ordered the Hartford ahead at full speed. "Four bells, eight bells, sixteen bells! Give her all the steam you've got!" he shouted to the officer of the deck. And the old ship seemed imbued with the Admiral's spirit and dashed ahead past the Brooklyn and the monitors, regardless of fort, ram, gunboats and the unseen foe beneath. As we ran clear of the fleet, we became the target of the rebel vessels which were lying across the channel in front. "Trust me, our berth was hot* Ah, wickedly well they shot! How their death-bolts howled and stung! And the water batteries played With their deadly cannonade, Till the air around us rung. So the battle raged and roared." Meanwhile the ram Tennessee, which up to this time had contented herself with simply firing at the approaching fleet, started for the Hart- ford, apparently with the intention of striking her amidships. Had the ram kept on, it could have hardly failed to sink us, as our shot glanced harmlessly from its side, and we were unable, on account of the narrow channel, to move out of its way. But, for some reason, Admiral Buchanan, who had commanded the Merrimac in her fight with the Monitor, changed his course, and made for the fleet at the fort. Finally we emerged from the narrow channel into the deep water of the bay. The roar of the battle was now over and the fleet came to anchor and preparations were made to give the hungry men some break- fast. We were just beginning to feel the reaction following such a season of extreme peril and excitement, when we were brought to our senses by the sharp penetrating voice of Executive Officer Kimberly calling all hands to quarters, and a messenger boy hurried down to us with the word: "The ram is coming!" The writer hastened to the quarter deck where the Admiral and fleet captiain were standing. The Tennessee was making at full speed directly for the Hartford. The spectacle was a grand one and in plain view of the rebel soldiers in both forts who were GRADUATES. 97 now out of range and lined the walls. Few audiences have ever wit- nessed so imposing a sight. The Admiral wished to order the whole fleet to attack the ram; but to do this by the cumbrous naval code of signaling would take too much valuable time. So while the quarter- master was preparing to send up the flags for the general order, the Ad- miral desired me to use the army code in starting the fastest and most formidable vessels. This hardly required as many seconds as the other method did minutes. There followed a general slipping of cables and a friendly rivalry to see which could quickest meet the foe. The Tennessee kept right on for the Hartford. Had the ram struck us square, bows on, it would have plowed its way half through the Hart- ford; and, as we sank, we should have carried to the bottom the ram also, unable to extricate itself. But just as the two vessels were about to meet, the course of the Tennessee was slightly changed, enough to strike us a glancing blow on the port bow, which left us uninjured, while the two ships grated past each other, and exchanged broadsides. The scene on the Hartford at the moment of contact was one of intense excitement. The Tennessee now became the target for the whole fleet. All the vessels made toward it, pounding it with shot and trying to run it down. As the Hartford turned to make for it again, we ran in front of the Lackawanna, which was moving under full headway with the same object in view. She struck us on our starboard side, amidships, crushing half way through. For a time it was thought that we must sink, and the cry rang out : "Save the Admiral! Save the Admiral!" But the Admiral, nearly as cool as ever, sprang into the starboard mizzen-rigging and looked over the ship's side, and finding there was still a few inches to spare above the water line, he ordered the ship ahead at full speed after the ram. Unfortunately, the Lackawanna, in trying to strike the ram a second blow, again came up on our starboard side, and another collision seemed imminent. And now the Admiral became a trifle excited. "Can you say — For God's sake — by signal?" He inquired. "Yes, sir," I replied. "Then, say to the Lackawanna — For God's sake get out of our way and anchor!" In my haste to send the message I brought the end of my signal flag-staff down with considerable violence upon the head of the Admiral who was standing nearer than I thought, causing him to wince perceptibly; but I could not apologize until I had finished signaling. The remainder of the story is soon told. The ram was unable to strike a single one of the Union vessels, while the concentrated fire upon it tore away everything except the solid iron ; and finally a shell exploded in one of her port-holes and seriously wounded her commander. Then up through the iron grating of her deck came a staff, bearing a white flag. So ended the fight. Harvey Sheldon Kitchel, son of the Rev. Harvey D. Kitchel, D.D. (Middlebury, 1835), and Ann (Sheldon) Kit- chel, was born at Plymouth Hollow, Conn., August 12, 1839, 98 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. and entered Yale from Detroit, Mich. He prepared for college with his father and afterward at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., under Dr. Samuel H. Taylor. On graduation he made railroading his occupation, which he followed for about forty years. Until 1866 he resided at Williamsport, Pa., serving as superintendent's clerk of the Catawissa Railway Company and afterward in the engineering department of the Pennsylvania Northern Central Railroad and in surveying a new route for the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad. Since May, 1866, he has resided in South Bethlehem, Pa., in the service of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, until about 1901. In 1902 he became Assistant Treasurer of Lehigh University and is still serving in that capacity. He was married, November 17, 1870, to Miss Elizabeth Kent Reed, of New York. They have had five children: Robert Reed, born September 9, 1871, graduate of Lehigh University in 1892, an electrical engineer; Anna Sheldon, born August 23, 1873 (Smith College, 1895), a teacher; Harvey Denison, born October 10, 1877, died April 2, 1878; William Sayre, born March 4, 1879, died May 26, 1896; and Harriet Tyrrell, born April 16, 1883 (Smith, 1905). *Samuel Hinckley Lyman, son of Joseph and Mary A. (Clark) Lyman, entered College from Cleveland, Ohio, where he was born January 26, 1839. He came to Yale at the beginning of Junior year, having passed the first two years at Western Reserve College, then located in Hudson, Ohio, and now a part of Western Reserve Uni- versity, Cleveland. After graduation he became connected with the United States Coast Survey under Professor Alexander Dallas Bache and continued in this relation until the summer of 1864, serving in New England, Virginia, and in the Department of the Gulf under General Nathaniel P. Banks. In August, 1864, he began the study of law in Cleve- land, Ohio, and continued his studies at the Columbia College Law School, New York. He practiced law in that city during the years 1867-1878 in company with our classmate Ebenezer GRADUATES. 99 B. Convers. In the latter year he was appointed clerk of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New- York and held this position until 1901, serving under Judges William G. Choate and Addison Brown. During the same period he was also commissioner of the Circuit Court of the United States. To quote from Judge Choate, "His judicial work as commissioner was conspicuously able." He retired because of impaired health and devoted his last years to read- ing and study. He died in Nauheim, Germany, on August 9, 1910, at the age of 71 years and six months. He was never married. By Mr. Lyman's will Yale University is made the residuary legatee of his estate. He was a member of the Union League Club, New York City. Isaac Slayton Lyon, son of Curlys and Sally (Slayton) Lyon, entered Yale from East Brookfield, Mass., where he was born, January 31, 1837. His father was a native of Wood- stock, Conn., his mother, of Brookfield, Mass. He prepared for college at the seminaries in Wilbraham, Mass., and Char- lotteville, N. Y. He volunteered as a private in the 11th Connecticut Volun- teers, September 29, 1861. In January, 1862, he was pro- moted to a Second Lieutenancy and immediately detached from his regiment for duty on the Signal Corps. He served in this capacity until March 3, 1863, when, by a Board insti- tuted to examine candidates for the Signal Corps of the Regular Army, he was appointed First Lieutenant, which was sub- sequently confirmed by the U. S. Senate. The theater of his service was in North Carolina under Burnside, in the Shenandoah Valley, along the Potomac, and from June 13, 1863, to February, 1865, with the Army of the Potomac. At this latter date he was transferred to the headquarters of Gen. W. T. Sherman, at Goldsboro, N. C. He remained with General Sherman during the march from Raleigh, N. C, surrender of Gen. J. E. Johnston, overland journey to Wash- ington, and thence accompanied him to St. Joseph, Mo., where he remained until November, 1865, being then trans- ferred to the Department of Kansas. He was mustered out 100 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. of service December 9, 1865. In the performance of his duties as Signal Officer he was in several engagements in North Carolina, the second Bull Run, Chancellorsville, and in the movements of the Army of the Potomac from the battle of Gettysburg almost to the close of the war. On leaving the service he became connected with the Assessors' office in St. Louis, and from July, 1866, to January, 1876, held clerkships in the Treasury and War Departments in Washington. He was admitted to the practice of Law, by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, December 27, 1877. Meanwhile, in January, 1876, he became connected with the Department of Justice, serving until July, 1880, as Special Agent, and then, until his resignation, July 1, 1885, under the Assistant Attorney-General in Court of Claims cases. Since 1885 he has been practicing in Washington, mainly in the prosecution of claims before the Executive Departments. He was married, July 30, 1868, to Miss Addie Thompson, of Washington. They have had six children: Nettie Evelyn, born October 10, 1870; Helen, April 24, 1872; Addie, August 18, 1875; May and Jessie, December 28, 1878; Robert Isaac, September 9, 1885. Jessie died July 17, 1879. Robert graduated at Dartmouth College in 1907. Oliver McClintock entered college from Pittsburgh, Pa., where he was born October 20, 1839, son of Washington and Eliza (Thompson) McClintock. Both of his parents were of Scotch-Irish extraction. His father was son of Alexander McClintock (born May 13, 1776), and Elizabeth Rutledge, of Virginia (born December 14, 1781). His grandfather, Alex- ander, was son of William McClintock (born about 1750), and Phcebe McDowell, both natives of East Nottingham Town- ship, Chester County, Pa., whence Alexander removed to Pittsburgh about 1813. Oliver's mother was daughter of Samuel Thompson (born May 29, 1783), and Mary Parke (born April 28, 1787), the latter a lineal descendant of Arthur Parke, of Parkesburg, Chester County, Pa., who was a native of Donegal County, Ireland, and emigrated to America prior GRADUATES. 101 to 1724. Samuel Thompson, Oliver's maternal grandfather, moved from Chester County to Pittsburgh about 1807. The families of his grandparents on both sides, then resident in Chester County, Pa., shared in the patriotic sacrifices of the Revolutionary struggle. His great-great uncle, Capt. John McClintock, was killed at the battle of Brandywine (Chad's Ford), September 11, 1777, when Gen. Washington attacked Gen. Howe's invading army in defense of Philadelphia. His great grandfather, William McClintock, was engaged in the second battle between the same armies at Germantown, Octo- ber 4, where he nearly lost his life. He was also present at the battle of White Marsh Church (December 7), where Gen. Washington and his army- were encamped; also at Valley Forge, where Washington established his permanent camp for the winter of 1777-78, made memorable by the privations and sufferings of the Continental army. McClintock prepared for college with Lewis Bradley of Allegheny City (now merged with Pittsburgh), and was the first to come to Yale of a family that has furnished so many sons of. Eli as to make it in a peculiar sense a Yale family. Four brothers followed him, and in the second generation enough to make a round dozen; and the end is not yet. Since graduation he has resided in Pittsburgh, continuing the same business as wholesale and retail dealers in carpets, rugs and draperies which his father established in 1837, suc- ceeding his father-in-law, Samuel Thompson, who had founded it in 1807. Oliver's father took him into partnership in 1862 under the firm-name of W. McClintock & Son. In 1863 W. McClintock retired and the firm of Oliver McClintock & Com- pany was organized. One after another of his three brothers were taken into partnership, — Walter Lowrie (Y. C, '62); Thompson (Y. C, '70), until 1897; and Frank Thompson, (Y. C, '75). In 1897 the firm was incorporated as "The Oliver McClintock Company" (now at Nos. 537-45 Liberty Avenue), of which Oliver is President. He was a member of the Pittsburgh Subsistence Committee, organized in August, 1861, and afterwards an auxiliary of the United States Chris- tian Commission. It had a record of having fed over 500,000 102 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. soldiers while passing through Pittsburgh during the Civil War, and a total amount of cash expended and stores distrib- uted of $837,999.26. He was a member of Company D, 15th Penna. Militia, with the rank of Corporal, and was present with his regiment at the Battle of Antietam, in 1862. In 1854, at the age of fifteen, he became a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh and was chosen an elder in 1863. In college he had been one of our class deacons. He was President of the Pittsburgh Young Men's Christian Association (1866-67), when it was re-organized after the Civil War. He has been continously a trustee of the Western Theological Seminary (Presbyterian) since 1876 and President of the Board in 1907. In 1870 he became a director of the Pennsylvania College for Women and since 1905 has been President of the Board. In spite of repeated efforts to save it, the College was on the verge of bankruptcy; but in 1905 he conducted a whirlwind campaign of money-getting in its behalf, in which about $200,000 was raised. The liabilities of the institution were paid off, a considerable sum was added to the endowment, and its prosperity and usefulness assured. Through the united efforts of himself and his classmate, Albert H. Childs, the Shadyside Academy was founded in 1881. He became a charter member of the Board of Directors at its incorporation in 1883. Since 1890 he has been a Director of the Pittsburgh Cham- ber of Commerce. As a member of its Committee on Muni- cipal Affairs (since 1892), and Chairman of that Committee (1907-08) and Vice-Chairman (1909-1911), he has striven to arouse in the Chamber a more active interest in the civic problems of the municipality. His efforts contributed largely to the overthrow of the Chamber's former ultra-conservative policy at the election of officers in 1906. He was for several years a Director of the Civic Club of Allegheny County, Vice-President, 1909 and 1910; and is now President, 1911-12; Vice-President of the Civil Service Reform Association of Allegheny County and member of the American Civic Association. He was also member of the Civil Service Reform Association, Ballot Reform Association, and the GRADUATES. 10 S Indian Rights Association of Pennsylvania; and continuously since 1898 an active member of the Executive Committee of the National Municipal League. Since 1895 he has been a recognized leader among those citizens of Pittsburgh who have worked for good government and the purification of municipal and state politics. He was one of the organizers of the Citizens' Municipal League of Pittsburgh in 1895 and a member of its Executive Committee, which named a ticket and conducted a municipal campaign in 1896, their candidate losing by a small majority on the face of the returns, but afterwards conceded to have been "counted out." The same Committee conducted the Municipal League's Campaign in the councilmanic election of 1898. He was later a member of the Executive Committee of the Citizens' Party which, in 1906, won a sweeping victory in the city and county, electing the Mayor, four Congressmen, and a number of Councilmen and lesser officials. He was on a joint committee from the Chamber of Commerce and other public organizations, which secured from the State Legislature in 1907 a civil service law, applicable to cities of the second class (Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Scranton). In 1910 he was a member of a similar joint committee from civic and commercial organizations, which secured from the Legislature, in spite of the strenuous opposition of the State political machine, the abrogation of the antiquated and un- wieldy double-branch system of city councils, elected by wards, and the substitution of a small council of nine, elected at large. Its operation already gives assurance of progres- siveness, efficiency, economy and honesty in municipal legis- lation. He is a member of the University Club of New York, the University and Duquesne Clubs of Pittsburgh, and the Huron Mountain Club of Lake Superior, where in summer time he lays in a supply of health and strength for the strenuous- activities of the rest of the year. He writes : — In answering your questionaire as to ancestry and an inventory of the chief activities of my life, I have been impressed, in the retrospect,. 104 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. with the seeming correlation of the two. Whatever of zeal I may have had for popular rights and the public welfare, the springs of my action seem to lie in my native American ancestry, and, back of that, in my Scotch-Irish heredity. I have concluded that all the time I have only been yielding to the irresistible impulses of my hereditary hatred of tyrants and resistance to political oppression. I had also a paternal example of sympathy for the oppressed of every race and color. My father was an Abolitionist and a staunch supporter of the Liberian Coloni- zation Society. I can remember seeing black passengers by the "Under- ground Railroad" being brought into his store to receive financial aid and comfort, while fleeing from Southern slavery to Canada. But most potent of all was the moulding influence of personal contact with my college instructors of sacred memory, Woolsey, Noah Porter, Goodrich, Thacher, James Hadley, Dwight, Dana and Tutor Paine. I have for- gotten the most of what 1 learned from text books. But their examples of faithfulness and devotion to their life-work of character building, inspiring and instructing young men for service to humanity, produced such an indelible impression upon me that it has remained ever since a strong and compelling influence in my life. As the resultant from these moral forces behind me, and just as the psychologists say, that a man becomes a crook or a criminal, because his forbears were, so I became a political reformer and a fighter against political oppression, because my forbears were; and I couldn't help being one. I have always been an independent in politics and was always opposed to the political boss and the political machine. I have never desired public office and have been content to be a "hewer of wood and drawer of water" for every movement, whose object was better government for my native city and State. I have generally been assigned to the finance committee of such movements because of my supposed aptitude for rais- ing campaign funds. In all this I have experienced the hindrance of unsympathetic relatives pulling at my coat-tails. But my greatest and most depressing discouragement was found in the skulking cowardice of prosperous and contented but apathetic fellow citizens, and the sordid and corrupt representatives of special privileges and corporation interests, when the political issues seemed to me so plain and so compelling, and when the rights and welfare of the people were hanging in the balance at the polls. The fight has been long and strenuous and the quality of patient endurance has been put to its utmost test in those who have been con- tending for good government. But we may take heart from the progress made, and feel assured that if we but continue in the struggle, American cities will soon have good government. He was married June 7, 1866, to Miss Clara Courtney, second daughter of Harvey Childs and Jane B. Lowrie. They GRADUATES. 105 have six children: Norman, born June 13, 1868; Walter, April 25, 1870; Emma, September 25, 1874; Harvey Childs, January 16, 1882; Elsie Thompson and Jeannette Lowrie, April 10, 1886.

C, '03, and Harvard Law School, '06), married, November 11, 1911, Fanny, daughter of Charles DeHart Brower, Esq., of New York City, and is practicing law in Pittsburgh. Walter (Y. C, '91; Hon. A.M., 1911), has received wide recognition among scientists in Europe as well as in America, for his remarkable ethnological studies among the Blackfeet Indians of Montana, with whom he is known as A-pe-ech-eken (White Weasel Moccasin). His first introduction to this tribe was in 1896, being at that time a member of an expedition sent out by the United States Government to make investigations for the purpose of locating national timber reservations. After this commission had been fulfilled, he remained for some time with the Blackfeet Tribe, by whom he was accepted as the adopted son of their chief, Mad Wolf. He succeeded in establishing with them such intimate relations of mutual friendship that he was enabled with note book, camera and graphophone to record their legends and ceremonials, the pictur- esque scenes in their camps, their interesting dances and their prayers, speeches and songs. He has made the romantic life of these Indians, as he has seen it, the subject of a series of il- lustrated lectures, which have been delivered at the United States Embassy, the Imperial Museum and the Danish Min- istry in Berlin, and before Anthropological Societies in Germany and Great Britain, and at Oxford and Cambridge. He pub- lished in 1910, through the MacMillan Company "The Old North Trail, or Life, Legends and Religion of the Blackfeet Indians." He also has collaborated with Arthur Nevin, the composer, in the production of an Indian Grand Opera, founded 106 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. upon one of the legends of the Blackfeet Indians. The music of this opera, entitled "Poia," was first given in January, 1907, at the Carnegie Music Hall, Pittsburgh, without scenery or costumes, and in the Spring of 1910, was magnificently pro- duced with complete accessories of scenery and costumes at the Royal Opera House in Berlin.

The following year he engaged in studying law and in teaching in New York City; entered the Theological Seminary, Andover, in the Fall of 1863, and graduated there in 1867. Meanwhile, in 1864, he spent ten months at Nashville, Tenn., as a Delegate of the Christian Commission; and in 1865 co-operated with others in raising funds with which to re-build Phillips Academy, which had been destroyed by fire. He was licensed to preach in December, 1866, and was ordained and installed pastor of the Central Congregational Church, Lawrence, Mass., November 13, 1867, GRADUATES. 117 where he remained until November 13, 1875. His ministry there was of marked influence among the factory population. On June 21, 1876, he was installed pastor of the First Con- gregational Church of Gloversville, N. Y. A notable occasion was the celebration in June, 1901, of the twenty-fifth anni- versary of his pastorate. In his commemorative sermon he described as follows the main principles and the spirit of his work as a minister : — I have endeavored to give great prominence to the person and work of Jesus Christ. I have had the more success when I have dwelt upon His atoning work, and have always felt that my work would fail should I cease to give importance to it. I have not been inhospitable to new theological ideas nor to unaccustomed methods of presenting truth. All our present statements of truth were at one time new. Without calling special attention to theological tenets which have recently been under discussion, I have aimed to present strongly before your minds the great facts of sin, the power of Christ's atonement, the need of consecration of the will and sanctification by the spirit. Certain doctrines need to be enforced at some times more than at others. Preaching which is exclu- sively doctrinal may be dull, but preaching without doctrine is flabby; the body falls down limp and shapeless when the bones are taken out of its structure. I believe that a pastor should do a reasonable amount of work out- side of his own church for the benefit of religion and education and for the widening of his own mind which should occasionally have an outlook broader than the four walls of his church. I have accordingly given about seventy-three lectures and addresses in various places, many of them at Hudson River and State Association meetings and at Christian Endeavor conventions, besides a number of lectures for which a ticket price was charged and the proceeds given for the benefit of a church or some local benevolence. In an editorial tribute, entitled "A Quarter Century's Work," the Gloversville Daily Leader said in part: — Dr." Park is a man of erudite education, brilliant and convincing in his manner of discourse, whose natural ability and study have been sup- plemented by extensive travel; but the best that he has acquired and the best that is in him have ever been trained upon the one object, the culti- vation of God-given talent for the glory of the Great Master whom he serves; hence it is that while in too many instances pastorates are evanescent in their influence and flitting in their nature, that of the preacher under discussion has been strengthened and more firmly 118 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. cemented with the lapse of time, and to-day, at the close of twenty-five years' faithful, conscientious, efficient service, pastor and people are more firmly united in affection than ever, and the uppermost hope of the people is that the existing relation may never be severed during the life- time of their honored pastor, whose popularity is by no means confined to his own church and locality. In the work of upbuilding the church of which he is pastor, spiritually, numerically, and financially, Dr. Park has exerted a splendid influence. And the Gloversville Morning Herald said editorially in part : — Dr. Park was a young man when he came to Gloversville, but had already given evidence of the strength of character and intellectual vigor that have made him a potent factor, not alone in the church over which he presided and in the community in which he lived, but in the councils of the Congregational associations in the broader fields of State and nation. Like all men of large intellect, Dr. Park has been a careful student of men and events, has traveled not a, little, and observed much, storing his mind and broadening his view, and the result has been a long pastor- ate marked by a steadily-united congregation, constantly increasing in numbers and showing a healthy growth along the lines that make for the good of the community. The full fruits of Dr. Park's labors in this com- munity are not for record here, nor do they need editorial exploitation. That they are many we can readily believe, that they are good we all know. Twenty-five years is a long pastorate, but twice twenty-five years will not be too long for a man of Dr. Park's character and ability. After twenty-eight years of service, he resigned in June, 1904. Besides the care of the general and special religious interests of the parish, he had the responsibility of raising the money and of managing the building of a fine new church, which was erected at a cost of forty-five thousand dollars. The last dollar of debt still resting upon it was paid off before his retirement. He was very active as a member of the New York State Association of Congregational Churches, of which he was three times Moderator. He took a large, public-spirited interest in whatever made for the higher prog- ress of Gloversville, and may be regarded as the founder of its Public Library, securing the first endowments, organizing it and having the principal care of it during its early and GRADUATES. 119 feeble years. It is now one of the strongest libraries in East- ern New York outside of the great cities. On his retirement from the pastorate his people passed a series of resolutions expressing their deep reluctance to accept his resignation and their appreciation of the great and permanently effective work he had accomplished not only for the upbuilding of the church, but also for the uplifting in every sense of the entire community. His fame as a theologian, an eminent scholar and an eloquent preacher has gone beyond the limits of the State and reflected honor upon his church and congregation. He has always, in every department of life in Gloversville, exemplified a deep and broad Christian character. We beg both Doctor Park and Mrs. Park to accept our abiding esteem, love and reverence. The council of churches which pronounced his pastorate closed, said in part : — So long and distinguished a service calls for more than the customary language of dismissal and commendation. Doctor Park has been an intelligent, wise, liberal and staunch supporter of the principles we up- hold; a devoted friend to his brethren in the ministry; a trusted counsellor to any church that sought his services in times of trouble or necessity, or in the installing or dismissal of pastors. In all these relations he has brought dignity and honor to Congregationalism in our State. In his official relations to our benevolent societies he has been a tower of strength. As pastor he has given the families of his congregation a thoughtful and loving oversight. He has preached the word with great ability and unfailing interest. His preaching has been evangelical, pungent in rebuke of sin and earnest in invitation to Christ. It has been enriched by wide reading and travel. He has been a power for good in the community, that has long known him as a friend of education, moral reforms and of all that could promote the health and happiness of the people. In referring to his departure the Daily Leader said in part : The separation of a pastor and his church is always accompanied by more or less of pathetic incident; but this is particularly true, where such tender relations have extended over many years, as instanced in the case of Dr. W. E. Park and the people of the Congregational Church. For twenty-eight years Dr. Park has filled the pulpit of this church, wisely guiding his parishioners in the way of Gospel truth. A finely- educated gentleman, one who has traveled much and acquired to him- self and for his people a wealth of knowledge useful in the ministry, a. clear thinker and eloquent speaker, one who interested himself deeply 120 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. in current events and local affairs, and withal a tender-hearted man, ever ready to be helpful in sickness and in health — it is not strange that Dr. Park has gained a strong hold upon the affections of his own par- ticular flock, as well as a high standing in Congregationalism, generally- speaking, and a local popularity which embraces the people of all denomi- nations. In his retirement the local association of pastors loses one who has always inspired the admiration of its membership and one whose counsels have ever been regarded as a source of helpfulness and strength. His church desired to make him pastor emeritus, but he declined the honor, which, on being again tendered him in 1910, was then accepted. In November, 1904, he took up his residence in Oberlin, Ohio, where he made his home, until his death, May 19, 1910. For a year previous he had been in a somewhat enfeebled con- dition in consequence of an attack of grippe, which left him with a weakness and irregularity in the action of the heart. For a time he seemed to be relieved, though he was obliged to forego the long walks in which he was accustomed to delight. Death came quite suddently from heart failure. The previous day he had been working as usual in his study. He had nearly reached his seventy-third birthday. The burial was at Andover, Mass. During his residence in Oberlin he preached as opportunity offered in the churches of the principal cities of that section. But he devoted his time especially to the preparation of a biography of his ancestor, Jonathan Edwards, materials for which, consisting of seventeen hundred manuscripts, besides numerous books and pamphlets, had been left him by his father. He had done an immense amount of work in reading and deciphering manuscripts and had completed the first draft of the biography up to Edwards' residence in Stock- bridge, Mass. It seems almost a cruel fate that all this study and work should count for nothing and that he was not per- mitted to complete what he regarded as the crowning labor of his life, and what promised to be the standard biography of Edwards. Among various positions he held may be mentioned the following: Three times Moderator of the New York State GRADUATES. 121 General Association of Congregational Churches; Delegate to the National Councils of Congregational Churches, 1885- 1908; Corporate Member of the American Board of Com- missioners for Foreign Missions for over twenty years since 1887, and a member of the Prudential Committee; Trustee of the New York State Home Missionary Society for seven- teen years, and Vice-President; for twelve years State Secre- tary of the Congregational Church Building Society; Corre- sponding Secretary of the Fulton and Hamilton Counties (N. Y.) Bible Society for about twenty-five years; Moderator of many Church Councils; President in 1890 of the Fulton County (N. Y.) Historical Society; President of the Yale Alumni Association of Central New York in 1888; President in 1903 of the Yale Alumni Association of Fulton and Mont- gomery counties (N. Y.) ; President of the Phillips Academy, Andover, Alumni Association; President of the Ministerial Association of Oberlin, Ohio; and Associate Editor of the Bibliotheca Sacra. He was honored with the degree of Doctor of Divinity by Marietta College in 1888. Park was an extensive traveler, having visited Europe seven times and the different sections of the United States, including Alaska. He was an athlete in strength and stature. He delighted in the open air, the woods and lakes and in long walks, and greatly enjoyed fishing and hunting, boating and swimming. Until the last year of his life he was never ill. He was always full of life and talk, and everybody's friend, especially of children. He was married, March 4, 1874, to Sara Billings, daughter of Professor Bela B. Edwards (Amherst, 1824), of Andover, Mass., and Jerusha W. (Billings) Edwards. They had two children: Marion Edwards, born December 31, 1875, and Edwards Albert, December 30, 1877. His daughter gradu- ated at Bryn Mawr College in 1898, and after a year of post- graduate study there, was- Instructor in Greek at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, for four years, and since then has been teaching English Literature in a school for young ladies at Providence, R. I. His son was graduated from Yale in 1900, and in 1904 from the College of Physicians and Sur- 122 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. geons, New York, where he has since been practicing his pro- fession. A few extracts follow from an article in the Congrega- tionalist of Boston for July 23, 1910. After a brief account of his earlier life, the writer proceeds: — In 1875 he accepted a call to Gloversville, N. Y., where his most fruitful and constructive years were passed. There he remained twenty- eight years, until July, 1904, when he resigned to take up at Oberlin the unfinished work, left by his father, upon the life of President Edwards. It has been given to few ministers to serve with such wonderful zeal and devotion and to gain and hold the interest and deep affections of one and the same people for a generation. In the pulpit he was an orator by instinct and training. His illustrations were drawn from wide reading, especially in history and from extensive travel in both continents, from which he came home laden with spoils for his pepole. As a pastor he was intensely interested in persons, was a keen student of human nature and had an inexhaustible fund of good humor, sympathy and faith for old and young to draw upon. He loved children and they loved him. He knew them all from infancy up to manhood, entered into their sports, advised with them about plans for life, had them in his home, directed their reading and, as pastor and father, took them into the flock of Christ. The devotion of the church to their long-time pastor was remarkable. Such a man came inevitably to be the "parson," the first person in Gloversville. He worked in and for the schools and secured the funds to build and equip a fine public library. His giant form was familiar to every one and he was every one's friend. As the years went on he came to his place as a leader in our churches in the Empire State. Three times moderator of the General Associa- tion, twenty-six years a trustee of the Home Missionary Society, a dele- gate to all the National Councils, a corporate member of the American Board from 1887, he had national recognition as well. Withal he was a great out-of-doors man. He delighted in hunting, fishing, swimming and tramping in the Adirondack woods. He was a tireless athlete, swimming a mile when nearly seventy years old and walk- ing forty miles in one day out from the vacation camp to civilization. An irresistible story-teller, with ready command of his great resources, his after-dinner speeches, as well as his finished addresses on anniversary occasions, will long be remembered. On leaving the active pastorate at the age of sixty-eight, he went to Oberlin to reside and entered the manifold life of church and college with greatest enjoyment. Towards the last he grew so absorbed in the Edwards studies that he did little preaching, but it was characteristic of the man that shortly before his death he was happy in the thought that he could return to the pulpit after the literary work was done. GRADUATES. 123 Dr. Park was a man of strong convictions, broad intellectual acquire- ments and a charming personality. The arm must be strong that takes tip his bow.

Edward Phillips Payson, son of Rev. Phillips and Eliza- beth (Boutelle) Payson, entered Yale from Fayetteville, N. Y., but was born March 15, 1840, in Lyme, Conn. He prepared for college at Williston Seminary, East Hampton, Mass. On graduation he entered the Union Theological Seminary, New York, and completed the course in 1864. Meanwhile, in 1863 he spent several months near Washington, D. C, in work among the freedmen. In 1864 he was ordained as Chaplain of the 146th New York Volunteers, and immediately joined his regiment in the Army of the Potomac, with which he remained until mustered out of service, July 16, 1865. Dur- ing 1866-67 he was preaching in New York City; was installed December 4, 1867, over the Congregational Church at Kent, Conn.; and in June, 1870, accepted a call to the 65th Street Presbyterian Church in New York, where he remained until 1875. In December of that year he accepted the pastorate of the First Congregational Church in Ansonia, Conn., which he resigned in the summer of 1886. He then became pastor of the Canal Street Presbyterian Church in New York; and in May, 1894, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, Mont- GRADUATES. 127 clair, N. J. He continued in this relation until May, 1910. Since then he has been living in East Orange, N. J., where he supplies neighboring pulpits as opportunity offers. He was Moderator of the Newark, N. J., Presbytery, 1903-04. He was married, October 23, 1866, to Miss Grace W. Haz- lett, of Manhattanville, N. Y. They have had two children: Helen Hazlett, born August 7, 1867, died October 24, 1904; and George Phillips, born August 28, 1872. He graduated at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1899 and is now pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Katonah, N. Y. John Barnard Pearse entered Yale from Philadelphia, Pa., where he was born April 19, 1842. He prepared for college with Prof. Charles Short, afterwards of Columbia College, New York. Before entering college he served some time as a machinist. After graduation he resided in Philadelphia until the autumn of 1865, studying chemistry with Booth & Garrett until 1863 ; and then until June, 1865, he had charge of the chemical division of the United States Army Laboratory, preparing articles for the use of the army. He then went to Europe for the purpose of studying mining engineering; spent more than a year at Freiberg, Saxony, in the celebrated School of Mines at that place; and afterward studied at Neuberg and various points in Silesia, and Loeben in Styria, and also at Paris, and visited England in order to examine its mines and furnaces. He gave special attention to iron and steel, the manufacture of Bessemer steel, and the construction of furnaces, etc. In December, 1867, he returned home, and in February, 1868, became connected with the Pennsylvania Steel Works near Harrisburg, of which he was general manager from 1870 to 1876. Here he did much to improve the design and product of Bessemer steel plants, made various inventions (cupola, steel works, etc.), after- wards generally adopted, and was instrumental in first making Bessemer pig iron from native New Jersey ores. In June, 1874, he was appointed a Commissioner and the Secretary of the Second Geological Survey of Pennsylvania, which position he resigned in 1881. In November, 1876, he became manager 128 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. of the works of the South Boston Iron Company, a company- doing general machine and foundry work, and especially manufacturing ordnance and projectiles of all kinds. He resigned in December, 1881, and resided in London, Eng., until 1888, when he returned to the United States; and since then he has been living in Boston, Mass., having retired from active business. He was married November 1, 1876, in Arlington, Mass., to Miss Mary L., daughter of David W. Williams. They have two children: Langdon, born November 12, 1877; and Alice Williams, June, 1880. In connection with his specialties he has written as follows : — Books. 1869. A Treatise on Roll Turning for the Manufacture of Iron, by Peter Tunner. Translated and adapted. 8vo., pp. ix+96, and Atlas of ten plates. New York. 1876.

The twelfth child of Tracy and Sally (Adams) Peck, he was born in Bristol, May 24, 1838. His ancestry goes back to Paul GRADUATES. 129 Peck, a member of Thomas Hooker's famous band of Hartford colonists, and to Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth, Colony. He prepared for college mainly at Williston Seminary, East Hampton, Mass., of which Dr. Josiah Clark was at that time Principal. Soon after graduation he went to Europe, and remained there nearly two years and eight months, oc- cupying himself chiefly with the study of Classical Philology. During the first eighteen months he attended lectures at the Universities of Berlin, Jena, and Bonn. Aside from brief intervals of travel in Switzerland and England, he was nearly a year in France and Italy, seeing the sights and studying the languages of those countries. On his return in the summer of 1864 he was elected Tutor in Yale College, which position he resigned in July, 1867. He spent the succeeding two years mainly in Rome and Berlin, studying in the former city the Italian language, and the antiquities and topography of Rome and vicinity; in the latter the Latin and Sanscrit languages. In September, 1869, he again became Tutor in Yale College, remaining for one year. He then taught Latin and Mathe- matics for one year in the Chickering Classical and Scientific Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1871 he was elected Professor of the Latin Language and Literature in Cornell University, which position he resigned in 1880 to accept the appointment of Professor of Latin in Yale University. He continued in this relation until Commencement, 1908, when he became Professor Emeritus. While Professor at Yale, he was oc- cupied mainly in teaching graduate students. From January to September, 1894, and again from Christ- mas, 1894, to July, 1895, he spent in and near Rome. He was one of the founders of the American School of Classical Studies in that city, and was Director of the School from October, 1898, to July, 1899. From March, 1909, to June 1911, he resided most of the time in Italy. In June, 1909, he represented as delegate the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences at the Darwin Centennial in Cambridge and London, Eng. During the month of January, 1911, he lec- tured at the American School of Classical Studies in Rome on 130 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Latin Epigraphy and conducted peripatetic exercises in Roman Archaeology. His special investigations have been in early Latin, Latin hexameter poetry, Roman oratory, the history of Latin literature and the Latinity of the Silver Age; and he has given much time to the study of Roman topography, coins and inscriptions. He has been a prominent member of the American Philological Society and was its President in 1885- 1886. In 1898 he was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the New Haven Chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America. Since 1883 he has been a trustee of Williston Seminary, East Hampton, Mass. On Charter Day, November 10, 1902, the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Rutgers College. At the one hundred and twenty-seventh annual banquet of the Yale Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa held March 18, 1907, Professor Peck, in delivering the Latin speech, turned to Secre- tary of War William H. Taft and, amid prolonged enthusiasm, launched a presidential boom for him in Latin. This un- precedented act no doubt had much to do with his subsequent nomination and election. The following is the extract referred to : — Mater Yalensis filios quoscunque apud Lares familiares vultu beni- gno videt, sed animo laetissimo illos excipit qui, e ministeriis pro patria, vel potiiis pro genere humano factis, coronas triumphosque reportant. Tu quidem, quidnam est quod his paucis annis non feceris? Et omnia quae tangis ita perficis et exornas ut quod Romani de Catone prisco iudicabant, idem nos de te iudicemus: ' tibi versatile ingenium sic pari- ter ad omnia est ut natus ad id unum videaris quodcunque agas.' Si igitur vox populi te ad munera ampliora, — etiam ad summum Reipub- licae magistratum vocabit, hanc populi vocem credimus fore vocem Dei. In conjunction with Professor Clement L. Smith, of Har- vard University, he has been General Editor of the College Series of Latin Authors, published by Ginn & Company. Of this series thirteen volumes have already been issued. He was married in Brooklyn, N. Y., December 22, 1870, to Miss Lillie H. Hall, a native of Hadleigh, Eng. She died February 5, 1903. All who have attended our Class meetings remember with grateful pleasure the cordial hospitality with GRADUATES. 131 which she so often welcomed us to the receptions given to the Class at her home.

George Austin Pelton, son of Asa Carter and Ophelia (Austin) Pelton, was born at Stockbridge, Mass., April 15, 1833, but entered Yale from Great Barrington. His ancestors came to America from Essex and Northampton, Eng., and settled first in Boston and later in Essex and Chatham, Conn. Here his great-grandfather and grandfather lived; but his GRADUATES. 133 father was a native of Great Barrington and spent his life there. On his mother's side the Austins came from England and were represented in Suffield, Conn., and Westfield and Sheffield, Mass., where his mother was born. He fitted for college at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Mass., then under Dr. Josiah Clark. The first year after graduation he studied Theology in Yale Seminary, and then went to Andover, Mass., completing his course there in July, 1864. He was licensed to preach by the Essex South Association, at Salem, Mass., February 2, 1864. In the following autumn he became acting pastor of the First Congregational Church, Franklin, Mass.; was ordained to the work of the ministry at that place August 9, 1865, and remained there until June, 1867. From October 1, 1867, to March 1, 1869, he was acting pastor of the Con- gregational Church, Bethel, Conn., then at Candor, N. Y., until May 1, 1873; at Groton, till April, 1877; at Morrisville, till August, 1879; at Sandy Creek, until the summer of 1881 — all in the State of New York. At the last mentioned date he became acting pastor of the Congregational Church in Shel- burne Falls, Mass., where he remained until the spring of 1884. The next two years he had charge of the Congregational Church at Groton, Mass. During the years 1886-89, he served as acting pastor of the Congregational Church at Watertown, Conn.; and in the same relation with the Congregational Church in Stony Creek, Conn., for the years 1890-98. The next two years he passed in New Haven, where he was acting pastor for six months of the Taylor Congregational Church, and the rest of the time supplied vacant pulpits as opportunity offered. In May, 1901, he was installed pastor of the Congregational Church at Cen- terbrook, Conn., where he remained until 1907. Since then he has been living in New Haven, still in active work as a minister, as health and opportunity permit. His ministry of forty-seven years has been with rural churches almost exclusively — in Massachusetts seven years, in central New York twelve, and in Connecticut twenty-eight. In methods he has been earnest, practical and evangelistic, so that several of his pastorates have witnessed large acces- 134 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. sions in membership. He has heartily identified himself with the general religious, social, educational, and civic interests of every community in which he has been stationed. Besides strictly ministerial and pastoral work he has served as archi- tect, purchasing committee, and collector of funds in building parsonages and repairing churches. Remarking upon Pelton's stature, some one has said that "he seemed to be trying to make up in persistent activity what he lacked in space." Outside of his parish he has been an active member of min- isterial and other church associations and conventions, often serving as registrar, scribe or moderator by the choice of his professional brethren. While pastor in Central New York he was for six years Secretary of the Education Society, main- tained by the Congregational Churches of the State in the interest of their candidates for the ministry; as one of three general delegates from the Association to the National Council of Congregational Churches held at Oberlin, Ohio, in 1871; and as a member of the Congregational Sunday-school Commit- tee for the State of New York. In June, 1888, at the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his first parish, Franklin, Mass., he spoke upon "The Church and Its Ministry," and was one of the speakers at the one hundredth anniversary, June 30, 1908, of his former church at Candor, N. Y. Among various papers he has read before ministerial asso- ciations may be mentioned: The Evangelistic Pastor; Our Commercial Ministry; What Should Ministers Teach as to Sabbath Observance? A Review of Dr. A. H. Bradford's "Ascent of the Soul;" The Minister as a Public Speaker; Observance of the Sabbath — Abuses of the Day, and the Remedy. He has also given frequent addresses at Christian Endeavor and Sunday-school conventions, and on Memorial Day; and a number of sermons on special occasions have been printed. He was married April 27, 1864, in New Haven, Conn., to Miss Catherine Sarah, daughter of Seth W. and Catherine P. Brownson. A daughter, Mary Ophelia, was born August 14, 1866, and died January 16, 1870. Mrs. Pelton died May 31, 1910.

His parents were John Bancroft and Mary (Porter) Root. The former was a native of Westfield, Mass.; the latter was a daughter of Alexander Porter, of Wilmington, Del. They came to Texas in the pioneer days before 1840 and located at the frontier settlement of Independence, in Washington County, where the father conducted a mercantile business. Here Alexander passed the first ten years of his life. About 1850 the family removed to Galveston, where his father became a large dealer in furniture. Alexander prepared for Yale at Williston Seminary, East-- hampton, Mass., of which Josiah Clark was principal. Soon after graduation, he returned home, having been disappointed in his plan to go abroad. In the fall of 1861 he enlisted in the Confederate service as a private in Brown's cavalry regiment and served a year in Texas. After the battle of Galveston in January, 1863, he was made First Lieutenant in Nicholl's battery of light artillery and saw service in Texas and Louisiana, participating in the Red River Campaign of 1864 against General Nathaniel P. Banks. He also served as a staff officer with General Slaughter, at Brownsville, Tex., and with General 136 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. John B. Magruder, the commander of the Confederate Depart- ment of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. During the last part of the war he was Assistant Adjutant General, with the rank of Major, on the staff of General Drayton. At the end of the war in 1865 he went into business with his father in Galveston, in which he continued until the sum- mer of 1874, when he became teller of the First National Bank of Houston, Tex. In January 1876 he was elected cashier and in 1891 President of the bank, which position he held for about seventeen years. Under his administration the First National, chartered in 1866, became one of the strongest banking institutions in the country and enjoyed a wide pres- tige. He was second vice-president of the Guarantee Life Insurance Company, director in the Houston Drug Company, also in the Oriental Textile Mills, and was connected with other enterprises, commercial and industrial. For several years Mr. Root had been in ill health, which prevented him from attending our Class meeting in 1906. But to the last he resolutely devoted himself to his business affairs. He died at his home in Houston, February 18, 1908, at the age of sixty-seven years, seven months and twenty- seven days. The throng of friends and associates present at the funeral, representatives of all the financial and pro- fessional interests of the city, showed the deep impression he had made upon the community during his residence there of almost thirty-five years. The departments of the city govern- ment were closed and the flag was at half-mast. The inter- ment was in Glenwood cemetery. At a special meeting of the City Council the following minute was passed : — We, the undersigned, mayor and commissioners of the city of Houston- learn with profound sorrow and a sense of personal loss of the death of Alexander Porter Root. We are not unmindful of the valuable services rendered to the city of Houston by this worthy citizen while a member of the board of liquida- tion. We point with pride to that splendid institution over which he has so long presided as a landmark and model tower of strength, whose honor and stability have been but a reflex of his own lofty character. Faithful in the discharge of every trust; devoted alike to his home GRADUATES. 137 and home city; the true friend of struggling and worthy young manhood; tender and true in every relation of life, a distinguished citizen has fallen. Before the vote was taken the Mayor spoke as follows: — Mr. Root was one of the best citizens this city has ever known. He grew to be one of the greatest financiers in the Southwest and he has been a strong friend of Houston. He belonged to a school of banking that extends every liberality to the legitimate enterprise and fosters those institutions that are a help to the State and the City. It is a fine tribute to his character that many of the successful men of to-day are those who were the beneficiaries of his help, when young men they proved by their sterling worth and character they were entitled to that assistance by which the men of finance and affairs can give to the beginner in the busi- ness world a start, and in very rare instances was his confidence misplaced. Through the direction of Mr. Root as its president the First National Bank of Houston has been a strong help and friend to the municipal government, and it is but right that we take some action officially to show that we realize the loss. Tributes of appreciation and honor were adopted by the most important business organizations of the city. The Clearing House Association said: — Whereas, We recognize in the life and character of Mr. Root a banker of the highest ideals and one whose example was worthy of emulation, and Whereas, Mr. Root has always stood for conservatism and clean banking methods and has through his influence and example rendered great assistance in building the wide reputation that Houston holds as a solid banking and commercial city, and Whereas, The assistance which Mr. Root extended to many industries and trades in their earlier days contributed largely to make Houston a great market and center of commerce. Therefore be it Resolved, That we deeply deplore the 'death of Mr. Root and feel that his death is a loss to the community and that there has been removed from among us a stimulating, elevating and refining influence. That each of us has lost a personal, lovable friend. The Union Bank and Trust Company adopted a minute- of similar purport. Of special significance was the tribute paid to Mr. Root by a meeting at the Cotton Exchange, which was attended by representatives of every local bank and prac- tically every mercantile house and commercial institution in the city. The resolutions said in part : — We desire to place upon record our appreciation of his worth as a man and a citizen, and as a representative of all that is best and highest in 138 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. one of the most important of the commercial interests of the country. Modest and retiring in his disposition, conservative in his methods, he took high rank as a leader in the chosen vocation of his life. He now rests from his labors, mourned by his fellow citizens and respected and revered by all who survive the many years of intimate association in the business transactions of our daily life. Speaking on the resolutions, the following address was made by Mr. James A. Baker : — I feel that I cannot permit this opportunity to pass without paying a slight tribute to the memory of A. P. Root. I knew him more than twenty-five years, and it is my proud privilege and pleasure to feel and know that he was my friend. I truly and warmly reciprocated his friend- ship. He was a modest man — as modest as the violet. Could he have known that this meeting to pay tribute to his memory was to be held, he would have protested against it with his last expiring breath. His retiring nature rebelled against any eulogy or praise of self. He was content simply to win and deserve the love and admiration of his fellow citizens. He was frank, candid, bold and courageous. He despised hypocrisy and sham in every form and never spoke with a forked tongue. His modesty and gentleness of manner made him more reticent than assertive, but no man ever had difficulty in ascertaining how A. P. Root stood upon any question. He loved with all his big heart all good men and all good deeds; he despised with all the intense ardor of his nature all mean men and all mean deeds. No one ever came to know him in a day, in a week, in a month. Like the beautiful and fragrant flower, he unfolded slowly, and as the beauty and fragrance of the flower increases with its unfolding, so the beauty of the life and character of Mr. Root increased with knowledge of him. Of him it can be truly said that the longer and more intimately you knew him the better you loved him. He was a positive character, and as such was strong in his likes and dislikes; while he would stand forever by his friends in sunshine and shadow, yet he would never per- secute his enemies, — his gentle nature and love of fair play forbade him. Men of the mould of Mr. Root and possessing his qualities of heart and mind always succeed. They command success; they win the great battles of life because they deserve to win. In looking back over the years of his life spent in our midst, we see how year by year he grew and developed, not only in material prosperity, but in the affections of the people, until at his death he was not only the leading factor of the strongest financial institution in the State, but all who knew him had come to love him. He possessed in a marked degree all of the highest and noblest attributes of true manhood; a moral courage which feared no responsibility; a fixedness of purpose which could never GRADUATES. 139 be deflected from the pathway of duty; an indomitable will and perfect integrity, — while his gentleness and fidelity bound his friends to him with hooks of steel. These are not words of fulsomeness, but a just and deserved tribute to a worthy departed friend. By nature, raising and education, Mr. Root loved the chaste and elegant things of life — its comforts and the aesthetic luxuries, but he despised all outward show and vulgar display. He was domestic and simple in his tastes, modest, retiring and unassuming. Outside of busi- ness he found pleasure in his home, not in the club. His hours of leisure were spent with his books and in the bosom of his family, away from the pomp and frivolities of life; he spent his days in the toil of love and duty. His private life was peaceful, pleasant and happy. All I know of it was interesting, instructive and tender. With the weapons of worldly warfare laid aside, his life was full of sweet cadence, and around his hearth- stone he appeared as the devoted husband, the loving father, the generous friend. It was here that he illustrated how happy and contented he could be, as he tried to do his full duty to his God, his family, his country and his fellow-men. How those to whom he was nearest and dearest cry out in their bitter anguish for the ' ' touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." A man so gifted, so manly, so true, cannot fall out of the ranks of the living and not leave an aching void. The members of this body will miss him, the great financial institution that was built up and developed under his guiding hand will miss him, other institutions of this city that in the years gone by have leaned upon him for advice and assistance will miss him, this great city and its people will miss him. Indeed, , death loves a shining mark. Peace to the ashes of Alexander Porter Root, your friend and mine. Mr. Root married, January 21, 1869, Miss Laura Virginia, daughter of Benjamin A. Shepherd, of Houston, Tex. They had five children: Mary Porter, born January 11, 1870, mar- ried W. H. Kirkland; Frederick Arnold, born April 23, 1871 Sallie Shepherd, born August 16, 1872, died March 23, 1873 Cora Valentine, born February 14, 1874, married E. A.

For biographical sketch see "Third Supple- ment to Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1903. 140 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Lorenzo Sears, son of Nathaniel and Cordelia (Morton) Sears, entered Yale from Williamsburg, Mass. He was born April 18, 1838, at Searsville, a part of the township of Wil- liamsburg. On his father's side his first ancestor in this country was Richard Sears, of the Old Colony, in 1632. Elder Brewster, Stephen Hopkins and Richard Warren, of the Mayflower company, were also lineal ancestors. On his mother's side George Morton (1622) was the first one of the name here. He bargained for the Mayflower and superintended the em- barkation of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, Eng., following them later. Nathaniel Morton, the early historian of the colony, was his son. Sears prepared for college at Williston Seminary, East Hampton, Mass., under Dr. Josiah Clark. After passing two terms in the class of 1860, he joined Sixty-One at the beginning of Sophomore year. During the first three years after graduation he studied theology at the General Theo- logical Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City; graduated there June 30, 1864, and was ordained Deacon July 3d, and Priest in 1865. In October, 1864, he took charge of St. Mark's Episcopal parish in Mystic, Conn., where he remained until April, 1866. In June following he accepted the rectorship of St. Bartholomew's Church, Cranston Road, Providence, R. I., which he resigned November 20, 1869, to take charge of Grace Church, Manchester, N. H., where he remained until 1885. While there he was a member of the Standing Committee of the Diocese of New Hampshire, Secretary and Treasurer of the Diocesan Board of Missions, Examining Chaplain to the Bishop, and Deputy to the General Convention. In 1885 he resigned his rectorship at Manchester to devote himself to university teaching. He was Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature at the University of Vermont, Bur- lington, 1885-88, and also Librarian. During 1890-1906 he held a professorship at Brown University, that of Rhetoric, 1890-95, and of American Literature, 1895-1906. After six- teen years service in the University he resigned in September, 1906. His colleagues in the Faculty presented him with a GRADUATES. 141 silver loving cup. He remains a resident of Providence and is. busily continuing the literary work, in which his term of office was so fruitful, as shown by the Bibliography which follows this sketch. From Trinity College, Hartford, he received, in 1887, the honorary degree of A.M., and in 1892 the degree of Litt. D. He is a member of the Authors' Club, London. On his retirement from Brown the newspapers of Providence paid a generous and appreciative tribute to him as a man and to his services in the University. The Tribune said: — Professor Lorenzo Sears, who has for sixteen years been Associate Professor of English at Brown, tendered his resignation yesterday. His- retirement from the Faculty will be learned with regret by students, and professors, for in addition to being an excellent instructor and one well acquainted with the branches that he teaches, he has won the respect and love of the students by his genial and kindly disposition. In the year 1890 he came to Brown as an associate with Professor- Bancroft, and after his death in the same year Professor Sears succeeded him in the department of rhetoric. In 1895 Professor Sears organized a new department of American Literature, which at that time was an almost unknown study in the College. He also started the Press Club and the Brown Debating Union, the latter in 1893. It was his custom to secure the services of well known writers and editors as well as lecturers of the- day to speak before the Club; and with him at its head the Debating, Union became a very successful and instructive society. But Professor Sears is by far best known for his writings. In all he has written six books that have been published and which have been very favorably mentioned by critics all over the country. The Providence Journal said editorially: — Professor Sears, whose resignation from the Brown Faculty is an- nounced, has marked his connection with the University by frequent. and fruitful publication, especially along the line of oratory. His several volumes are among the most noteworthy contributions of Brown instructors to the world of books and have given him a, reputation far beyond the- local field; while on the subject of Colonial literature he is a widely recog- nized authority. Dr. Sears has stood for the best ideals of literary culture during his professorship and will be cordially remembered at the College- as a facile and cultivated writer, whose learning was tempered by a keen- sense of humor, and as a most courteous and kindly gentleman. Few men numbered among the faculties of institutions of learning, throughout the country have a more intimate acquaintance with American literature, of which he has made an exhaustive study. Possessing in a. 142 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. marked degree the faculty of clothing in the purest English the material from which he framed his lectures, and with an equal facility for endowing with life the less intrinsically interesting details of the theme, he was able to present his subject in a most entertaining form, and his guidance was particularly valuable to students whose tastes and inclinations led them into elective pathways embracing belles-lettres. The stamp of his sound instruction in the elements of rhetorical composition remains on the mind of many a Brown alumnus to-day, it may be in spite of an indifference that in some instances amounted to positive antipathy to the subject. By those who from choice frequented his lecture room, among whom a bond of sympathy and community of interest existed, his helpfulness and in- telligent direction along pathways of study was ever recognized with gratitude. Since reaching the age of fifty Prof. Sears has published the following works: "The History of Oratory;" "The Occasional Address: Its Literature and Composition;" "Principles and Methods 'of Literary Criticism;" "American Literature in its Colonial and National Periods;" "Seven Laws of Literary Composition" and "Makers of American Lit- erature." Every one is a work that will endure. Through them he has come to be recognized as an authority on the subjects on which he writes. In addition he has written the historical introduction to the "Library of Modern Eloquence," which was published in 1901, and is the author of numerous pamphlets and reviews pertaining to contemporary literature and various encyclopedia and magazine articles. It is clear that his "History of Oratory" and the book entitled "The Occasional Address" still occupy the field alone, unique in their help- fulness, and the clear and concise manner in which they present their subjects. Both "The History of Oratory" and "American Literature in Its Colonial and National Periods" have already gone into second editions. The latter work is not one of the dry-as-dust commentaries on early American literature, even if referred to by its author as a book of reference. It is that, to be sure, but it is far more. It presents the historical sequence of the growth of American literature down through the two periods named in its title in an admirable manner. These writings are dealt with clearly and logically, and throughout the entire book runs a vein of delightful humor that crops out every now and then and provokes on the part of the reader a smile or a chuckle at the turn of every page. Occasionally he turns his hand to verse, but not with frequency, he declares. "A little now and then for private consumption," he ex- plains, "'printed, but not published,' as the phrase is." "And fiction, how about that?" " Only one long story, which will never be printed so long as certain persons are alive and their heirs and assigns, for their image would not vanish out of my city nor my story." GRADUATES. 143 Of literature as a means to earning a living, Dr. Sears declares em- phatically, "the uncertainty of riches cannot be compared to it," and adds humorously, "Hitch your wagon to a newspaper and keep your seat as long as you can." "Did you ever try it?" "Once," was the answer, "holding a calendar in one hand and a pen in the other, furnishing copy ten days ahead for a syndicate of 175 news- papers from 100 to 3000 miles away. The contract called for two long articles a week for six months." "How did I come out? Five days ahead of schedule time and then I betook myself into the country to draw a long breath." A somewhat similar experience was had in writing a book once. In fact, he was at work on two books at the same time, and' it was a " rush order." Almost literally speaking it was a case of a pen in each hand. The contract was for 70,000 words in eighty days, though an extension of time was granted. Prof. Sears finished, however, in eighty-one days, and then, as he expressed it, "picked up an interrupted manuscript, in- terrupted so often that it might be styled 'Time Table of an Accommo- dation Train from 1607 to 1907.' " Among the activities which he likes best to recall is that of organizing the Brown Press Club. He is also responsible for a rejuvenation of the Brown Debating Club, after it had lain dormant for more than twenty years. He has ever been identified with interests calculated to promote the welfare of the English and rhetoric departments of the college, and refers with pleasure to the social meetings of the faculty, in arranging which he was instrumental. Versatility is one of Dr. Sears's predominant characteristics. From the preparation of a book manuscript, he turns with admirable adapt- ability to originating carpentry at his work bench in the basement. With equal facility he drops the critical analysis of a bundle of orations sent to him for correction from some far Western college to take up the brush in the execution of a portrait in water colors. What wonder that in these pleasant pursuits, amid the blessings of good health and congenial home surroundings, there is little room for regret, because it is "time to turn from the schoolmaster's desk." He was married January 2, 1866, to Miss Addie A., daughter of the Hon. James T. Harris, of Wyoming, R. I., They have had two children: Sophie Knight, born November 13, 1866, (died in infancy) and Sophie Harris, June 16, 1872. 144 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. PUBLICATIONS. Books. 1896.

Y., November 5, 1836, and died November 9, 1887, in New York City. For biographical sketch see "Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1888 Winthrop Dudley Sheldon, son of Anson and Ann Dudley (Jones) Sheldon, was born December 18, 1839, in Raymond, N. H., but entered college from New Haven, Conn. His father was a native of Somers, Conn., graduated at the Bangor, Me., Theological Seminary in 1827, and for some years held pastorates of Congregational and Presbyterian churches in New England and in New York State. The first of the family to come to America was Isaac Sheldon, who emigrated from Weymouth, Eng., to Dorchester, Mass., in 1634, and removed in 1635 to Windsor, Conn. His immediate descendants for several generations lived in Deerfield, Mass., but in the first half of the eighteenth century Charles, great-grandfather of Anson, settled in Somers, Conn. Ann Dudley Jones, Sheldon's mother, was a descendant of the Sargent, Winthrop and Dudley families of early New England history. She was a granddaughter of Colonel Paul Dudley Sargent, who served 146 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. three years in the Revolution and commanded a regiment in 1776 under General Artemus Ward, at Cambridge, Mass., and subsequently was a judge of the Court of Common Pleas in Maine. Colonel Sargent was a grandson of William, a native of Exeter, Eng., who settled in Gloucester, Mass., before 1677; and his father was Epes Sargent, merchant, magistrate, rep- resentative, and colonel of militia. Through the intermarriage of the Sargents with the Winthrops she was a great-great- granddaughter of John Winthrop, F.R.S. (Harvard, 1700), who was great-grandson of Governor John Winthrop of Massa- chusetts and married Ann Dudley granddaughter of Governor Thomas Dudley, of the Massachusetts Colony. Sheldon prepared for college in New Haven at the Collegi- ate and Commercial Institute, a semi-military school, of which Gen. William H. Russell (Y. C, 1833), was principal. After the return of the class from the spring vacation in 1861, in which occurred the fall of Fort Sumter, a class company was organized for drill. The military aroma of Russell's school still clinging to him, he was elected Captain. The company numbered sixty-one men, of whom twenty-nine afterwards served in the Civil War, in rank ranging from private to colonel and brevet brigadier general. After graduation he taught a year in a private school at Elizabeth, N. J. In the summer of 1862 he undertook tO' recruit a company, entitled "The Brownlow Rifles," so named after the redoubtable Parson Brownlow, a staunch loyalist of Tennessee. Stirring placards in large display letters were posted in public places in New Haven and neighboring towns. But for weeks few enlistments were made. A draft was im- pending, and to avoid this some of the leading citizens of New Haven issued a call for a public meeting, to be held at the north end of the old State House. A platform for the speakers was erected in front of and facing the State House steps. Sheldon determined to make the most out of the enthusiasm,, which it was presumed the eloquent speakers would arouse. Accordingly pre-empting one of the projecting corners of the steps, which would be in full view of the entire audience, he placed there a chair and table with the necessary pen and GRADUATES. 147 ink and enlistment papers for the prospective volunteers to sign, after being intoxicated with the eloquent appeals from the platform. Five or six thousand people assembled and for two hours listened to the stirring words of New Haven's ablest orators. The meeting ended and the crowd began to disperse. At this moment Sheldon, standing on the corner of the steps, shouted in stentorian tones the military order " Attention!" Thereupon the thousands of people halted in their tracks and turned to see what this unexpected call meant. Having gained the ear of the crowd, he explained the advantages of joining the Brownlow Rifles and urged his hearers to come forward and enroll their names. In order to start the ball rolling, those who had previously enlisted had been stationed at different points in the audience, and as soon as Sheldon concluded his speech, following the in- structions which had previously been given them, one after another they ostentatiously filed up the steps of the State House, in full view of the crowd, and entered their names upon the enlistment papers. But the net result, what was that ? Not one new recruit. "The Brownlow Rifles" never as such marched to battle; but Sheldon and the men whom he had enlisted entered as privates the ranks of Company H, Twenty-seventh Con- necticut Volunteers, which was mustered into the United States service October 22, 1862. His messmates were Myron N. Chamberlin (Yale, '57), Joseph A. Rogers (Yale, Ph.B., 1 60, C.E., '61, and Assistant in the Engineering Department, Sheffield Scientific School), Leicester J. Sawyer (Yale Divinity School), and Thomas E. Barrett, a highly-esteemed teacher in the Eaton Public School of New Haven. On the evening of October 22d the Regiment proceeded to Washington and, after passing five weeks in the outlying defenses of that city on the Virginia side, became a part of the Third Brigade of General Winfield Scott Hancock's Divi- sion of the Second Corps, Army of the Potomac, which had already occupied the north bank of the Rappahannock River and was confronted by the army of General Lee on the south bank. Four days later, December 13, 1862, was fought the H8 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. battle of Fredericksburg under General Ambrose E. Burnside. Sheldon participated in the charge of Hancock's Division across the open plain in front of the Marye Heights, a ridge of hills lying back of the city. Forty-two per cent, of the Division were killed or wounded. Of Sheldon's messmates three besides himself were in action. Of these Barrett was killed, and Rogers and Sawyer were so badly wounded as to be discharged from the service ; and Sheldon himself was struck just above the heart, but with no result save a trifling bruise. He was promoted, December 24, 1862, to be First Sergeant, in place of Sergeant Barrett. He next shared in the Chancellorsville Campaign of May, 1863. Here he was taken prisoner with detachments of several regiments, about four hundred men in all, while holding some intrenchments hastily thrown up in the dense woods at the extreme front of the Union line, some distance beyond the Chancellor House. All unknown to the men occupying this advanced position, General Hooker had withdrawn on the morning of May 3 to a new line of battle, near the Rappa- hannock River. Taking advantage of this movement a body of Confederate troops, making a wide detour through the woods, seized the Chancellor House and, opening fire with their batteries from that point, advanced their infantry, to cut off the retreat of the Twenty-seventh. At the same time the enemy in front were closing in and sent a flag of truce to demand a surrender. It soon became evident, that it would be futile for the men to attempt to force their way out; and a surrender was agreed upon. The division commander, General Hancock, and Colonel John R. Brooke, commanding the brigade, exonerated the officers and men from all blame for the misfortune which befell them. Sheldon was now taken to a house a short distance down the road toward Fredericksburg. Here he had an oppor- tunity to see General Robert E. Lee, as he rode up on his iron-gray charger, "Traveler." He also met Major Robert A. Stiles (Yale, '59), an officer of the Richmond Howitzers, who had been paying their compliments to the Twenty-seventh during the forenoon. GRADUATES. 149 From this point he marched to Spottsylvania Court House and, after a few days, continuing the journey, arrived in Richmond on Saturday evening, May 9, about one week after his capture. Owing to very limited supplies, the large num- ber of prisoners and to the confusion of the campaign, as one of the Confederate officers explained, it was impossible for them to furnish the prisoners during the week with more than a few ounces of bacon a-piece, a few crackers and some uncooked flour. Sergeant Sheldon divided the ration among his men with a mathematical precision, worthy of a pupil of Professor Newton. In Richmond the prisoners to the number of nearly a thou- sand were stowed away in Crew and Pemberton's tobacco warehouse, opposite Libby Prison, about three hundred on each floor, so that when lying down at night it was hardly possible for any one to move about without treading upon somebody. A few days afterwards the paroling oath was administered; and late one afternoon the prisoners set out via Petersburg for City Point on the James River, where United States transports were in waiting. It rained in torrents nearly all night, and the men called upon Captain Turner, commanding the Confederate escort, for a rest. "There is no rest for the wicked," he replied. On May 13, 1863, Sheldon was commissioned a Second Lieutenant, and on the expiration of his term of service was mustered out, July 27 v 1863. In September, 1863, he became a teacher in the Collegiate and Commercial Institute of New Haven, where he had fitted for college. Here he continued to teach, chiefly the classes in Greek, until 1865. In September, 1864, he entered Yale Divinity School, where he graduated in 1868, having in the meantime been Principal for a while of the Guilford (Conn.) Institute, and for six months (1866-67) clerk to Rear Admiral James S. Palmer on board the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron. While holding this position he visited the prin- cipal of our South Atlantic ports and also the West Indies. Though a graduate in Theology, he was never ordained to the ministry; but in 1869, on the invitation of Professor Carroll 150 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Cutler (Yale, '54), he became Principal of the Preparatory School of Western Reserve College, at that time located in Hudson, Ohio, where he remained until August, 1873. He then went to Europe and passed the succeeding fifteen months in travel and study. After his return he was for one year (1875-76) at the head of the classical department of the Chickering Classical and Scientific Institute, a large private school in Cincinnati, Ohio. In September, 1876, he became professor of Greek and Latin in Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colo., and held this position until the autumn of 1890. He was for two years Secretary and Treasurer of the State Association of Congregational Churches in Colorado. He also participated several times by paper or lecture in the annual gatherings of the Colorado State Teachers' Association, and in 1890 was President of the College and High School Section. In 1891 he returned to the East and was in 1892 elected Vice-President of Girard College, where he still is. At various times he has also served as Acting President. Ursinus College conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. in 1900. He is a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the New England Society of Pennsylvania, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, the Indian Rights Association, the Philadelphia Geographical Society, the Civil Service Reform Association of Pennsylvania, the Public Edu- cation Association of Philadelphia, the National Municipal League, and the Pennsylvania Arbitration and Peace Society. He was married, June 22, 1875, in North Cambridge, Mass., to Miss Elizabeth Marietta Fessenden, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Smith) Fessenden. They have had two chil- dren: Edith Dudley, born April 12, 1877, and Ethel, born July 19, 1880, died September 7, 1881. Edith graduated at Smith College in 1900. GRADUATES. 151 PUBLICATIONS.

To Edward Rowland Sill. I paused upon the threshold of my life, Scarce reassured by that which met my gaze ; The world before me seemed with shadows rife, Peopled with struggling shapes in tangled maze. 154 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. The dreams of youth, chilled by reality, Fled from my heart, and left a trembling fear; And even hope of God's Eternity, Died in my soul before this vision drear. Thus, pausing at the door, there came to me The songs of one who, having gone the way, Knew all the pains of human destiny, And yet had come victorious through the fray. And, as I listened, Hope was born again, And Courage, in a blessed unity; Strong, I went forth among the haunts of men, And seized my own great opportunity. M. H. Parrock. Boston, August I, igio. Sill was a descendant of John Sill, who emigrated from Lyme, England, and settled in Cambridge, Mass., about 1637. His grandfather, Dr. Elisha Noyes Sill, served in the Revolu- tionary War, was town clerk of Windsor, Conn., 1803-1813 r and member of the Connecticut Legislature, 1816-1817 and 1824. His father, Dr. Theodore Sill, received his M.D. from Yale in 1831. His mother was Elizabeth N. Rowland, whose father (David S. Rowland, Y. C.,1743), and grandfather were pastors of the Congregational church in Windsor. The latter went under the name "Priest Rowland," a man of the Puritan type and of great personal dignity in both appearance and character. Sill's father and grandfather were physicians and surgeons. Thus we have in his genealogy a union of the scientific and religious. Doubtless from his mother he derived his poetic temperament, for she is described as "an intellectual, quiet woman, fond of the few good books of the day, and who wrote verses and had a tendency to melancholy." He was left an orphan in 1853, when about twelve years old, and in his later youth lived with his uncle, Elisha Noyes Sill, Jr. (Y. C, 1820), at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. * William Edward Sims, son of John Hampton and Minerva (Brown) Sims, was born in Sligo, Miss., May 15, 1842, and died July 26, 1891, at Colon, Isthmus of Panama, where he GRADUATES. 155 -was United States Consul. For biographical sketch see "First Supplement to our Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1892. Coming as he did from the extreme South and belonging to the slave-holding class, he naturally was intensely Southern in all his sympathies, which, however, he never permitted to abate his affectionate loyalty to Yale and to his classmates. Notwithstanding the outbreak of hostilities in the spring of 1861, he remained to graduate, when, communication through the lines being interrupted, he had no money to take him home. Professor Thomas A. Thacher loaned him the neces- sary funds, and he went his way, to ally himself with his beloved Southland. Of course, during war-time, he could not repay the money. But as soon as the war was over he wrote to Professor Thacher that he would do so at the earliest possible moment, saying: "I have lost everything. My father is dead; our plantation is desolated, the cotton has been burned, and the slaves are scattered. I am crippled for life, and, worst of all, I have been compelled to take the oath of allegiance to a government I despise." About six months later he repaid Professor Thacher; and the next few years brought with them a complete revulsion of feeling. He heartily accepted the results of the war and became prominent in the Republican politics of Virginia, receiving from that party a nomination to Congress and an election as delegate to several national conventions; and in 1890 President Harrison appointed him United States Consul at Colon, Republic of Columbia. Fielder Cross Slingluff, son of Jesse and Frances Elizabeth ( ) Slingluff, entered Yale at the beginning of Junior year from Baltimore, Md., where he was born, June 16, 1842. After graduation he studied law in Baltimore, until August 8, 1862, when he enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in the First Maryland Cavalry. He served in this capacity until July, 1863; was then promoted to be Second Lieutenant, and in 1864 to be First Lieutenant. He was in all the Shenandoah Valley campaigns from the time of his enlistment to August 8, 1864. At this date he was taken 156 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. prisoner by General Averill at Moorefield, Hardy County, Va., and resided at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio, until March, 1865, when he was released. Soon after the close of the war he re- turned home to Baltimore, where he began the practice of law in April, 1866, and has continued in the same, in partnership with his brother, Charles Bohn Slingluff, of the Class of 1859. In recent years his sons, Thomas Rowland and Robert Lee Slingluff, have been members of the firm. Since 1900 he has been Professor of Corporations, Partnerships, Agencies, Bail- ments and Shipping in the Baltimore University School of Law. He was elected President of the Yale Alumni Association of Maryland in 1899. "Outside of some honorary positions in our city govern- ment," he writes, "I have held no public offices. I am not and never have been in politics; I have a large family, a good practice, and plenty of work to do." He was married October 3, 1866, to Miss Ella Sewell, of Baltimore County, Md., who died in January, 1869. They had one child, Richard Sewell, born in 1868. He was married again, November 4, 1873, to Miss Mary Legrand Johnston, of Alexandria, Va. They have five children: Mary Legrand, Fielder C, Jr., Thomas Rowland, Ethel, and Robert Lee. Charles Thompson Stanton entered Yale from Stoning- ton, Conn., where he was born, November 30, 1839, and where he was fitted for college by Doctor David Hart. His parents- were Charles Thompson and Nancy Lord (Palmer) Stanton. His father was descended from Thomas Stanton and his mother from Walter Palmer, who were among the earliest settlers of Stonington. He belonged to the Nereid Boat Club and was Commodore of the Yale Navy. He was a member of the University crew in 1859. Harvard won the regular college race that year at Lake Quinsigamond; but the next day in an open event given by the City of Worcester, the Yale crew won, beating the Harvard time of the day before. After graduation he remained at home a year and, in the summer of 1862, recruited a com- pany, of which he was commissioned Captain, August 3d P GRADUATES. 157 and became connected with the 21st Connecticut Volunteers. He was present at the first battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, and in the following spring took part in the defense of Suffolk, Va., when that place was besieged by General Longstreet. His regiment was, for a time, stationed in North Carolina, and, in an affair with the enemy at Little Washing- ton, he won great credit. Soon afterwards his regiment was transferred to the Department of Fortress Monroe, commanded by General Benjamin F. Butler. On May 16, 1864, while engaged in a hotly-contested battle about two miles from Fort Darling on the James River, near Richmond, he was wounded in the right elbow by a minie ball, which produced a bad fracture of the joint. An account of the engagement appeared in the "Connecticut War Record" of that year, from which we quote a brief extract: "Captains Stanton and Shepherd, both of whom were in charge of the skirmishers at the time of the attack, displayed great courage and bravery. Captain Stanton, by every effort, endeavored to resist the enemy in their attack upon the skirmishers, contesting their advance, until wounded in the arm, when he was forcibly led from the field." He was promoted to be Lieutenant Colonel, with rank from June 8, 1864, but was honorably discharged September 14, 1864, "on account of physical disability, from wounds received in action." The following year he remained at home and in New York, under treatment for the recovery of the use of his arm. In the spring of 1866 he was appointed Adjutant General of the State of Connecticut, with the rank of Brigadier General, by Governor Joseph R. Hawley, which position he retained until April 30, 1867. General Hawley, in accepting his resignation, paid him this compli- ment: "You have discharged the duties of a most important office to my entire satisfaction." He then returned to Stoning- ton, where he remained until April, 1869. From that date until April, 1885, he was engaged in sugar planting in Louisiana, where he was joint owner of a plantation, eight miles below New Orleans. At the latter date he sold out and returned to ' his old home, Stonington, Conn., where he has resided ever since. In 1891 he was appointed by President Harrison Col- 158 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. lector of Customs for the District of Stonington, and held the position until 1895, when he was superseded by a Democrat under President Cleveland. President McKinley reappointed him in July, 1898; and since then he has continued to hold the place by successive reappointments, the last by President Taft in June, 1910. * Gilbert Miles Stocking, son of John M. and Emeline (Newell) Stocking, was born in Waterbury, Conn., December 22, 1838, and died at Jefferson Barracks Hospital, Mo., Jan- uary 24, 1865. For biographical sketch see "Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1888. * Heber Samuel Thompson entered Yale from Pottsville, Pa., where he was born, August 14, 1840. And here he died, March 9, 1911, at the age of seventy years and about seven months. His parents were Samuel and Elizabeth (Cunningham) Thompson. His family has been represented in America since 1730, when John and James Thompson, brothers, came over from County Antrim, Ireland, and settled at Cross Roads, Chester County, Pa. They afterwards removed to Hanover Township, now a part of Lebanon County, Pa., and from there to a farm near Deny Church in Cumberland County, a few miles from Harrisburg. Later James Thompson, his great- grandfather, settled near South Mountain, in Franklin County. His grandfather, William, a native of Cumberland County, participated in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown^ in the Revolutionary War. By occupation he was a farmer and merchant. Samuel Thompson, Heber's father, was born in Thompsontown, Dauphin County, Pa., and became a hard- ware merchant in Pottsville. His mother, Elizabeth Cunning- ham, was from Newton-Hamilton, Mifflin County, Pa. Thompson fitted for college in the schools of his native town and entered Yale at the beginning of the second term, Freshman year. The fall of Fort Sumter occurred April 13, 1861, in the spring vacation. Thompson was at home and on April 17 enlisted as a private in the Washington Artillerists of Potts- GRADUATES. 159 ville, whom he accompanied to the city of Washington, ar- riving there on the evening of April 18. On the way they had to march two miles through the city of Baltimore from the Bolton to the Camden station. A hooting, jeering, frenzied mob, numbering thousands, followed them, proclaiming with oaths that the troops would not be permitted to pass through the city. Showers of bricks, stones and clubs were hurled into their ranks, happily with no very serious results; but the officers and men marched steadily forward, making no reply by word of mouth, or with their muskets, or loaded revolvers. On reaching Washington the battalion was quartered in the Capitol, occupying the committee rooms and corridors of the Senate and House of Representatives. That evening they were equipped with new Springfield rifles in the presence of President Lincoln, Secretary William H. Seward of the State Department, and Simon Cameron, Secretary of War. Lincoln passed down the lines as they were drawn up, and shook hands with each member of the battalion. As they were the first to arrive for the defense of the Capital — one day in advance of the Sixth Massachusetts — they have ever since been called "The First Defenders." For several years before his death Thompson was president of their Association and recently published its history. His company was later incorporated with the Twenty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteers, a three months' regiment, in which he served until its muster out, July 29, 1861. Meanwhile he had obtained a furlough of ten days (from June 23 to July 2), passed the final examinations and was graduated with his Class, July 25, 1861, though on that day he was on duty with his company at Fort Washington, Md. For their service at this crisis the "First Defenders" received a vote of thanks from Congress, July 22, 1861. At the organization of the Seventh Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteer Cavalry — the Eightieth Regiment in the line of Pennsylvania Volunteers — he was commissioned First Lieu- tenant of Company F, dating from September 16, 1861, and was mustered into the United States' Service October 22. He accompanied the regiment to Kentucky, where it became a part of the Army of the Ohio, under the command of General 160 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Don Carlos Buell, afterwards of General William S. Rosecrans. On July 1, 1863, he was made captain of Company I, with rank from May 1, 1863. He participated in the battles of Chaplin Hills, or Perryville, Ky. ; Stone River, or Murfreesboro, McMinnville and Shelbyville, Tenn.; Chickamauga, Kenesaw Mountain, Jonesboro, Ga., of Sherman's Atlanta campaign, and in more than a hundred smaller fights and skirmishes. He was inspector of the First Brigade, Second Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the Cumberland, from January, 1864, to the twentieth of the following. August. At this date he was taken prisoner in a desperate battle at Love-joy's Station, twenty- eight miles south of Atlanta, Ga., in what is known as "General Kilpatrick's Raid," for the purpose of cutting the Confederate line of communication and compelling General Hood to come out of his entrenchments and meet General Sherman in the open field. Here is Thompson's own account of this affair : While General Sherman was lying in front of Atlanta, General Kil- patrick was sent on a raid with two divisions of cavalry upon the Atlanta and Macon Railroad. My command went with him. At a little place called Lovejoy's Station, twenty-eight miles south of Atlanta, we found ourselves surrounded, infantry on our front and flanks, with cavalry in our rear. The quick decision and boldness of Kilpatrick saved the com- mand, however, with but little loss. He formed his two divisions on the trot, faced to the rear in column of regiments and ordered the charge. The whole body started together on a trot, and struck the gallop only when within about four hundred yards of the enemy's line. They were fighting dismounted, having left their horses back in the road. Excepting by their artillery, nothing was done to check the charge. We took three pieces of artillery, a number of ambulances, and more horses than could be taken care of. I was with a portion of the command which attempted to take the artillery in flank and rear. We were met by the artillery support, my horse killed, I taken prisoner, and the rest driven back. When the artillery was taken, the support escaped, and took me along with them. About the end of August, 1864, I was taken to Charleston, S. C. While there I was sick with fever and spent three months and a half in hospital at Rikersville, a suburb. He was in captivity at Charleston, from August 30, 1864, to December 21, following, when he was released on parole. With no opportunity for further service, being unable to secure an exchange (he was never exchanged), he resigned, January 1, GRADUATES. 161 1865, and was mustered out, January 23d, though offered the commission of major. From this fact he received the title "Major," which clung to him for the rest of his life. He had been complimented in general orders for distinguished service at the battles of Sparta and Shelbyville, Tenn., and Chicka- mauga and Lovejoy's Station, Ga. Major Thompson's most brilliant exploit was at the battle of Shelbyville, June 25, 1863, where, though only a lieutenant, he was, because of his tried courage, coolness and judgment, placed in command of two companies and ordered to open the active attack on General Joseph Wheeler's command, which was most unusual and hazardous in that it was made by cavalry in column down a road and across a bridge upon artillery well supported by in- fantry. It was the success of Lieutenant Thompson's initial charge that led to the final attack which drove General Wheeler into the river. An account of this charge, written by John A. Wyeth, a soldier in General Wheeler's command, and published in Harper's Weekly of June 18, 1898 (also in Colonel William B. Sipes' History of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry), with a picture of General Wheeler jumping his horse into the river, says: — The Seventh Pennsylvania rode out and over us in the most brilliant cavalry maneuver the writer ever witnessed. They formed, and were in view for at least half a mile before they came within firing distance. On either side of the highway, in columns of fours, they advanced at a steady gallop until they passed into the opening in the line of earth works, " through which the main road led, some two or three hundred yards in our advance. As soon as they reached this point inside the works, still on the full run, they deployed from column of fours into line of battle, like the opening of a huge fan. The movement was made with as much precision as if it had been done in an open plain, on dress parade, or in some exhibition of discipline and drill. Huddled there as we were, knowing what fate was impending, we could not refrain from expressing our ad- miration, not only of the courage which they were displaying, but of the marvelous precision in the change of formation. Our orders were to stand until they approached within fifty yards, when we were to empty our rifles, draw our pistols, and then "sauve qui pent." The Union troopers, with sabres high in air, made no sound whatever, beyond the rumbling tattoo which their horses' hoofs played upon the ground. It was only a short space of time, probably the fraction of a minute, until they were so near that we could distinguish their faces, and in fact their individual 162 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. features. Leveling our guns at them we fired our final volley, and by the time our horses' heads were faced to the rear, they, coming at full speed, were upon us. In an incredibly short space of time the writer found him- self on the ground and well in the rear of the charging line. No more gallant work was ever done by any troopers than was done this day by .the Seventh Pennsylvania. This regiment is classed by Colonel William F. Fox in his "Regimental Losses of the Civil War" as one of the three hundred "Fighting Regiments." After the war was over, he resided for a year in Richmond, Va., dealing in anthracite coal. Returning to Pottsville, he was in partnership with his brother, William, in the general iron and hardware business until 1871, when he took up with Harris Brothers of that town the study of civil and mining engineering, which he followed as his profession during the rest of his life. Since 1874, until his death, he was for thirty- seven years the engineer and agent for the Philadelphia Board of Directors of City Trusts, in charge of the coal lands and mining operations of the estate of Stephen Girard in Schuylkill and Columbia Counties, Pa. ; also the general manager of the Girard Water Company, which supplies water to collieries, washeries, railways and to various towns and villages in that district. In 1889 he was appointed a Trustee and elected Vice-Presi- dent, and in 1893 President of the Board of Trustees of the State Hospital at Fountain Springs, near Ashland, Pa., for injured persons of the anthracite coal region. He held the Presidency until January, 1911. In January, 1896, he became a director of the Miners' National Bank of Pottsville, its Vice-President in 1902, and served as President until February, 1904. He was a Director of the Eastern Pennsylvania Railways Com- pany, a Trustee of the Pottsville Hospital, a member of the County Visiting Committee of the State Board of Charities, and of the State Commission on Lunacy, one of the Board of Examiners for Mine Inspectors and for nine years (1872-1880) a member of the Pottsville Board of Education. Under an Act of the Pennsylvania Legislature approved in May, 1889, he was appointed by the Governor one of a commission of GRADUATES. 163 three to "investigate the waste of coal mining, with a view to utilizing said waste." An elaborate report was published, in 1893. He was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Pottsville for forty-one years, from January, 1870, until his death, and superintendent of the Sunday school, 1880-1898. He was frequently a delegate to the meetings of Presbytery and Synod and a commissioner to the General Assembly which met at Saratoga Springs in 1896. The following societies numbered him as a member: The American Philosophical Society, the Historical Society of Penn- sylvania, the Historical Society of Schuylkill County, the American Institute of Mining Engineers and the Engineers'- Club of Philadelphia, the Union Veteran Legion of Pottsville, and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. He was married January 23, 1866, to Miss Sarah E. Beck, daughter of Isaac and Margaret Beck, of Pottsville. They had six children: Emily Baird, born November 10, 1866, married John Parke Hood, of Philadelphia, April 15, 1891, who died, March 17, 1904; Samuel Clifton, born May 7, 1869, graduated at Yale in 1891, and as Mining Engineer at Columbia University in 1893, since 1898 chief engineer of S. Neumann and Company of London, who have large interests in gold mines in South Africa, married Miss Victoria Stanton, an English girl of Johannesburg, S. Africa; Margaretta, born May 5, 1871, married, October 21, 1897, James Archbald, Jr. (Y.C., 1887), a civil and mining engineer of Pottsville and Major Thompson's successor as engineer of the Girard Estate ; Eleanor Elizabeth, born April 30, 1874, died October 7, 1875; Mary, born and died June 22, 1876; and Heber Harris, born September 12, 1880, and in the employ of the Eastern Penn- sylvania Railways Company at Pottsville. The following minute was passed by the Philadelphia Board of Directors of City Trusts: — On March 9, 1911, the Estate of Stephen Girard suffered the loss by death of one of its most valuable officers, Mr. Heber S. Thompson, Engineer in charge of the Estate in Schuylkill and Columbia Counties, in which capacity he had served during a period covering thirty-seven years. 164 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. The untiring devotion and marked ability shown by Mr. Thompson in his care of this property, have yielded results to the Girard Estate which are truly beyond estimate, and his unblemished personal character and uniform courtesy have, in addition to their direct value to the Estate in its official intercourse, earned for him the earnest personal regard and affection of all those officially connected with him as directors and officers. The following editorial notice appeared in the Pottsville Journal for March 10, 1911 : — Just as a rarely beautiful March day was waning taps were sounded for a gallant soldier, a charming gentleman and an admirable citizen — Major Heber S. Thompson. In this little nook in the mountains there are not one but many monuments standing to his life work, but the monu- ments that will stand longest are the living, breathing monuments in the hearts of the people who knew him best of all and loved him. He played his part in life quietly and unostentatiously. The honors that came to him were not sought, but were bestowed as a meed of merit. As a citizen he was prompted by the highest motives and took pride in the advancement of his community. When close to the age of seventy years he erected the magnificent Thompson building, the most modern structure in the county. He said Pottsville was big enough for such a building and he put it up. That was characteristic of Heber S. Thompson. He was not a man to speculate upon what should be done or what ought to be done. He did it. Major Thompson was a man of kindly inclination. Hundreds of people were aided by him, and the world never knew because he did not want it to know. He did not pass the weary pilgrim he met on life's highway, because his soul was a sympathetic one and self was not his fetish. None there are who possessed Major Thompson's friendship who will not treasure the memory of it. One felt the force of its strength and loyalty. His friendship exemplified Washington's thought when he said: "A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends and that the most liberal professions of good will are far from being the surest marks of it." Major Thompson bound his friends to him by his uniform kindliness, his quick sympathy and his sincerity in everything. As a young man, as a soldier in the Rebellion, commended for signal gallantry, as the manager of vast interests, as a director in fiduciary and charitable institutions and as a churchman Major Thompson did the plain duty of the moment and with a will. When the web of life was almost spun, he faced the infinite with calm content. Like a tired child he went to sleep, to awake with his fathers. GRADUATES. 165 The following is quoted from an article in the Journal of Mines and Minerals for May, 1911 : — As the collieries on the Girard estate are operated by lessees, Major Thompson was not in charge of the actual mining operations, but it was his duty to see that those operations were carried on in accordance with the terms of the leases and in a manner which would conserve the prop- erty. In this work he was in constant intercourse with the officials of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Co., the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., and other less important lessees, and those officials were always willing to cheerfully accord Major Thompson high rank as an able mining engineer. His work in the construction of water works and the securing of a plentiful supply of water for the collieries, towns, and villages on the estate, marked him also as a civil engineer of high ability. As a man and citizen the writer's acquaintance with Major Thomp- son extended over a period of nearly forty years, beginning when, in early boyhood, he first met him. To attempt to describe in adequate words his nobility of character, his lovable manliness, his personal integrity, his charity, which not only covered the assistance of the poor, but covered also his personal relations with people of all types, his sympathetic en- couragement and assistance to those who needed it to raise them from depths into which they had fallen, and thus enable them to rise to new respectability, and withal his positive convictions on all things he believed to be true and right, and his ability to oppose successfully methods or ideas that were wrong without antagonizing his opponents, but rather increasing their respect for him, would require very much more space than is available in this journal. In religious belief he was a Presbyterian, and was for thirty-seven years an elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Pottsville. His reli- gious belief, while conforming strictly to Presbyterian doctrine, was so broad that he recognized and respected the religious views of all Christian denominations and in his life he made doctrines subservient to true broad Christianity and charity. A true patriot, a consistent Christian, an able engineer, a brave and gallant soldier, who when the war was over held no feeling but that of charity for a defeated foe, he was in fact a man. The following are some brief extracts from a memorial adopted by the Session of the First Presbyterian Church at a meeting held Thursday evening, April 27th, 1911: — On March 9, 1911, as the day was drawing to a close, the spirit of a noble Christian gentleman returned to the God who gave it. Heber Samuel Thompson, our true friend and co-worker, was a man possessed of the highest ideals. Nothing but the best in thought, word and action met with his approval. A man of keen intellect, fine dis- 166 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. ■cernment and sound judgment, he measured men and things at their true worth. He always stood for the best in the home, the church, the com- munity and the state. Friendship with him was a matter of association and growth, and when the bond was firmly established, it was lasting. He was a man of the strictest integrity, scrupulously conscientious in the smallest detail. Kind and tolerant of the opinions of others, with a desire to consult with others of the same high ideals, he always reached ■an independent judgment. Deliberate in reaching a conclusion, a con- viction once formed was consistently pursued to the end. As life's hour-glass was running low, he calmly, uncomplainingly and with clear vision, attended to each earthly duty, with the thought of those "he was to leave uppermost in his mind, and passed to the scenes of the life beyond with a child-like faith in his Heavenly Father's wisdom and provision. The Church has lost a consistent member, the Session a wise and able counselor, the community a progressive citizen, and the State an able defender. He brought to every question his most earnest consideration. Noth- ing was treated by him lightly. Conservative in thought and action, he laid his foundations well and then built steadily and consistently, thus bringing stability to everything with which he had to do. For seventeen years Mr. Thompson not only stood in his place as the Superintendent of the Sunday school, but was the friend and counselor of every member of it. He was respected and obeyed as the leader, and loved and cherished as a friend. Not one of the many teachers and scholars that came within the circle of his influence during the long years of his service but had for him the highest sentiments of regard and affection. He always took an active interest in every movement which had for • its object the upbuilding of Christ's Kingdom in the world. His judg- ment was always sought in any matters which related to the advancement of the interests of the church and he ever stood ready to give of his time and means to the better equipment of the church and the advancement of its spiritual interests. He imparted of himself to others in the work of the church and Sunday school, and his Christian influence will be felt and his true spirit live in the lives of those who came in touch with him. As a citizen he lived an exemplary and consistent life, and was thoroughly devoted to the advancement and moral welfare of the com- munity in which he spent all his life. Life's work is ended and, as one who lies down to sweet sleep after the exacting duties of the day, so our friend rests from his labors and his works do follow him. The spirit which dwelt in the mortal tenement and which we loved and revered, has gone to its reward and is participating in the joys of the life beyond, but the memory of the unblemished Christian life which he lived here remains as a rich inheritance, not only to his family, but also to that multitude which came into contact with him in the varied activities of life.

He died in Pitts- burgh, Pa., January 13, 1909, at the age of sixty-nine years and ten months. The interment took place at Gettysburg. Andrew and Joanna (Ross) White were his parents. Through his father he was of old colonial stock. His maternal grand- father came from Londonderry, Ireland, about 1780. He fitted for college in the Preparatory Department of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, and after passing Freshman and Sophomore years at that institution, entered Yale about the beginning of Junior year. The first year after graduation he spent at his home in Greenmount, farming and studying law. In August, 1862, he enlisted and was mustered into service in October following. On December 15th, he was commissioned First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the One hundred and Sixty-fifth Regiment (nine months' men) Pennsylvania Volunteers. The regiment was attached to the Seventh Corps, First Division, General Foster's Brigade, in the Department of Fortress Monroe under General John A. Dix. He took part in a number of minor movements, designed to harass the Confederate forces in the vicinity of Richmond, — in the Siege of Suffolk, the fight of the Deserted House, and in the conflicts at Carrsville and the South Anna river, which occurred during the first six months of 1863. For a time he served as Acting Assistant Adjutant of his Brigade. He was mustered out of the service, July 28, 1863, and, returning to the study of law, was admitted to the Bar in 1864 at Gettysburg, Pa., where he practiced for the next three years. He then removed in 1867 to Pittsburgh, where he continued the practice of his profession until his death, winning a marked success. His practice was largely what is termed GRADUATES. 169 "office business;" but he appeared as advocate in several cases of special importance and prominence. He was singu- larly successful in disentangling the complicated accounts of large estates. The tributes to his memory by the Bar Associa- tion of Allegheny County described him as a lawyer and a man of the highest character. To quote the language of one of the foremost advocates in Pennsylvania, "he was a well-read lawyer, very accurate and pains-taking, and a man of un- swerving honesty and fair dealing. He filled many positions of trust and confidence for his clients, and all with singular fidelity and skill." Beginning with 1899, Starling W. Childs (Y. C, 1891), son of our classmate, Albert H. Childs, was associated with him in the practice of law until October, 1907. He was active in organizing and managing the Pittsburgh Club. In politics he was a conservative Democrat and at one time was an unsuccessful candidate on the local ticket of that party. He was a charter member of the Duquesne Post, No. 259, Department of Pennsylvania, G. A. R. He never married, and lived a somewhat retired life. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church. * Ralph Olmsted Williams was born in Palmyra, N. Y., May 12, 1838, and died in New Haven Conn., July 17, 1908. For biographical sketch see "Third Supplement to Twenty- five Years' Record," published in 1903, which includes also a summary of his literary work. In June, 1900, he was elected by the Board of Directors Librarian and Curator of the New Haven County Historical Society and served in this capacity until his resignation in November, 1905. He continued to reside in New Haven until his death therei July 17, 1908, after an illness of about one month. The burial was in the Grove Street cemetery, where Henry Holt has since erected a simple granite monument to his memory. The funeral services were attended by S. E. Baldwin, Tracy Peck, Leonard F. Morse, and by Rev. George A. Pelton, who conducted the service at the grave. His age at death was seventy years and two months. 170 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Williams was in certain lines a man of uncommon literary- ability. Here lay the really important work of his life, especially during the twenty years between 1881 and 1901. He had a delicate and refined literary taste, which he had cultivated by the widest reading in English and foreign literatures. His writing was characterized, as was said by Professor Albert S. Cook, of Yale, by "lightness of touch, reserve of manner, crispness of style, a seasoning of humor, and an absence of hammering." He was a close student and an unusually acute and discriminating critic and exponent of linguistic usage, in which he became a recognized authority. His qualities as such strikingly appeared in his book, "Our Dictionaries and Other English Language Topics," which grew out of his work as re- viser on several of the great dictionaries of the day; and also in his controversies with Dr. Fitz-Edward Hall, which were first published in The Dial and in Modern Language Notes, and were afterward grouped with Dr. Hall's rejoinders in a volume entitled "Some Questions of Good English, Examined in Controversies with Dr. Fitz-Edward Hall." To use the terms applied to it by the most competent critics, it was candid, fair, keen, and incisive, a model of controversial style, in- variably readable and abounding in curious illustrations, bright and suggestive, and often amusing. His purpose was to show that Dr. Hall was not infallible; and he confessedly held his own with his learned and skillful antagonist. * George Worman, son of George and Elizabeth Worman, was born November 24, 1832, in Mt. Pleasant, Westmore- land County, Pa., and died October 27, 1864, while a pris- oner of war at Cahawba, Ala. For Biographical Sketch see " Twenty-five Years' Record," published in 1888. Theodore Stephen Wynkoop, son of Rev. Stephen R. and Aurelia (Mills) Wynkoop, entered college from Wil- mington, Del., where he was born, November 22, 1839. In the fall of 1861 he entered Princeton Theological Semi- nary and graduated there, April 26, 1864. After the battle of Fredericksburg, Va. (December, 1862), he spent several weeks GRADUATES. 171 in the hospital at Point Lookout, Md., as a delegate of the Christian Commission. Having been licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New York, he was ordained and installed October 13, 1864, over the Second Presbyterian Church in Huntington, L. I. In November, 1868, he resigned his pas- torate there to become a missionary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, at Allahabad, India. He was engaged in this work until August, 1876, when, in consequence of his father's death, he resigned from the mission service and re- turned home. After a year and a half, spent for the most part in Princeton, N. J., he accepted the call of the Western Presby- terian Church, Washington, D. C, and was installed pastor, October 24, 1878. While there he passed eight months in visiting the mission stations of Japan, China, Siam, and India. In July, 1893, he was appointed by the British and Foreign Bible Society of London, Secretary of the North India Bible Society. He was also appointed Honorary Secretary of the North India Christian Tract and Book Society, "honorary" being interpreted to mean "doing the work without drawing the pay." He has been serving in the above offices since January 1, 1894, with his residence in Allahabad, India, re- signing, however, the latter position in December, 1904, the work of the two societies having become too great for him to look after both. At the Decennial Missionary Conference in 1901, representing all Missions and Protestant Christian Churches in India, he was designated as organizer and convener of a General Committee for the development of Christian Literature in the Hindi Language area. Writing under date of May, 1901, he says: — You will appreciate how much I value the opportunity of usefulness which my position gives me, supported as I am by the two great English Societies in London, the Bible Society and the Tract Society, as well as by all the missionaries at work in North India and the many English Christians connected with the Government of India in these Provinces. I do not know that in all the world I could find a position of greater use- fulness and interest. An open door is set before us, and slowly but surely the light of a new and better day is dawning in India. My printed papers are confined to my Annual Reports of the two Societies in India of which I have been Secretary, the North India Bible 172 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. Society and the North India Tract Society, with the exception of an address or two given in London and at home, and an article in The Homiletic Review on "The Prophetic Office of the Christian Ministry." I have been so busy printing the books and tracts of other men that I have had no time to write myself. He was married October 10, 1893, in Georgetown, D. C, to Miss Mary Mason Dodge. The following letter was read at our Fiftieth Anniversary, June 20, 1911: — British and Foreign Bible Society, North India Auxiliary, 18, Clive Road, Allahabad, May 18, 1911. Dear Brothers of Sixty-One: — I have been looking again at our Class pictures of fifty years ago, and reading again the cherished autographs that express the manly friendship and sincere sympathy engendered by our happy years at Yale. I have looked over the College Catalogues and the pages of the Yale Lit, and have listened to the far-away music of our College songs. How vivid and refreshing in this land of exile are the recollections of those years, and how keen the disappointment that I shall not be with you at our Class meeting after fifty years! You may be sure I am with you in thought, rejoicing in all the rich fruitage of a half century of stir- ring life. The war drums were beating when we said good-bye at Yale. How little we thought of the issues of the coming campaigns! How little could we anticipate the part we should take in the developments of the coming half century in the life of our country — political, social, industrial, re- ligious! And the end is not yet for us. There are other years before us, other services to render in Church and State, other honors to gain, to- which all our past is leading up. I still keep with you the forward outlook, and am ready to keep step with you in the onward march. The past is rich in blessing, the future will outdo the past. God is with us. The best is yet to come. Since entering the service of the Bible Society in India in 1894, I have had to do with new translations of the Scriptures and important revisions in some six languages and dialects, among which the Hindi language is the mother tongue of a hundred million people. Our average annual circulation has more than doubled during these years, and has. reached a total of 1,214,000 volumes. In connection with the Religious Tract and Bible Society I have had to do with building up a Christian Literature in North India aggregating hundreds of books and pamphlets in editions reaching six million copies. GRADUATES. 173 During these years I have seen North India devastated by famine. I have seen these Provinces scourged by the plague. I have noted po- litical unrest, less pronounced here than in other parts of India, but still manifested in widespread disaffection and sometimes in open sedition- But I have seen wonderful recovery from disaster, wonderful patience in distress. I have seen the awakening of great populations to the need of" reform in religion, in education, in social and business life. Take the evil and the good together, all are working for higher ends. Not the least influential for good is the wide and rapidly-increasing circulation among thoughtful Hindus and Mohammedans, as well as among the young and growing Indian Christian Churches, of the Holy Bible, and a Christian literature. You have perhaps seen mention of a great Indian Exhibition recently held in Allahabad under the auspices of the Provincial Government. It was my privilege to exhibit a collection of Bibles in one hundred and fifty languages, including some three hundred different editions of Bibles, Testaments and Scripture Portions in nearly one hundred languages spoken in India, Burma and Ceylon. For this exhibit we received the honor of the Grand Prix from a jury largely composed of Hindu and Mohammedan jurors. You will see that if our years in India have brought anxieties and cares to my wife and myself, they have also brought manifold com- pensations. We unite in loving greetings and unfailing remembrances to the men of Sixty-One and all who are included in the bond of Class ties. We hope to meet you in 1921. T. S.

A. : and Robert M., born June 11, 1865, and for many years his father's partner in the Republican, and his successor in its ownership. The issue of the Republican for October 13, 1908, con- tained the following tribute from the staff of the paper : — Mr. Scranton was a man of remarkable personality and strength of character. So great was his personal influence in his home city that during the concluding days of his life his illness was the principal theme among all classes of people. In his knowledge of men, his appreciation of their finer qualities as well as of their faults, his readiness to forgive his enemies, and to reward and trust his friends, his breadth of character, Mr. Scranton had few peers. There were few men who wielded a more trenchant pen. In his editorial work he was fastidious in his selection of words; he had a very choice diction, incisive and concise, and the genius of using the proper word for the occasion. He was withering in sarcasm and brilliant, forceful and convincing in criticism. His political foresight was recognized by friend and foe alike, and his skill as a director of campaigns led to his being consulted by nearly every Republican who aspired to office in Lackawanna County. In personality, Mr. Scranton had marked advantages. No one came in close contact with him who did not fall beneath the spell of his magnetic presence. His fine conversational powers, and his insight into character, which almost approached clairvoyance, held a fascination from which even those who opposed him for a lifetime could not escape. With his death has passed a figure unique in the community, in the formation of whose finest standards and clearest judgment the influence which he directed played no small part. For forty years or more Mr. Scranton was identified with the best interests of the Republican party, having been a campaign worker for President Lincoln. It -is a marvelous record, the significance of which can only be realized when it is considered that to the day of his death his advice and counsel would have been as eagerly sought as during the years when for so long he ruled the destinies of his party in Lackawanna county."
