PREFACE 
 
 At the last reunion of the Gass of Seventy, in I9I0, it was voted that the 
 Class Secretary should prepare another Biographical Record, and funds were 
 pledged for paying for the same. In accordance with such instruction this book 
 has been compiled as promptly as circumstances have permitted* It is precisely 
 what its name implies, a biographical record. Other matter that might appropri- 
 ately be included within its covers, such as accounts of our college days and of our 
 reunions, has been left out, because it has been contained in other publications. 
 It is as complete an account of the lives of the one hundred and seventy-eight men 
 who were connected with us as could be made with the material that came into 
 the Secretary's hands. If it fails to give as full information about the careers of 
 some of the Qass as they or their friends could desire, the lack must be charged 
 to their own modesty, to the reserve of their friends to whom appeals were made 
 for additional information, or to the inability of the Secretary to learn of their 
 whereabouts. The amount of information which it contains is creditable to the 
 interest which has been taken in the work by a majority of the Class, and will 
 certainly be of great value to the descendants of the men of Seventy. 
 
 The exceptional elegance of the one hundred and fifteen copies of this Record, 
 which have been printed as an edition de luxe for the graduates of the Qass, is 
 to be credited to ihe generous thought and contribution of one of Seventy's most 
 loyal men, who prefers that his name shall be withheld from the knowledge of 
 his classmates. That they will bless him in their hearts for his munificent gift 
 it goes without saying. 
 
 That the Class has made a good record would appear from the fact that 
 thirty of their number have been adjudged worthy of being mentioned in American 
 "Who's Who?" and kindred publications. Many others would doubtless have 
 been added to the list had the compilers of such books taken greater pains to search 
 for merit among the men of Seventy. 
 
 The Secretary is grateful to the Class for the honor conferred by them in 
 giving him this work to do, and thanks one and all who have helped him to bring 
 it to completion. He is proud of Seventy's deeds, and prays that to the survivors 
 of the Class who shall receive copies of the Record there may be granted prolonged 
 Ufe and every other blessing that heart can reasonably desire.

BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD 
 
FREDERICK ALLIS 
 1870 and J9U 
 
FREDERICK ALUS 
 
 jLLIS. Bom in New Orleans, Louisiana, September J, J848. Son of 
 Lorenzo and Mary (Castle) Allis. His father, the valedictorian of his 
 class at the University of Vermont, was the seventh in descent from 
 William Allis, who came from England to Salem, Massachusetts, in 
 J640. His mother, the valedictorian of her class at Miss Willard's School in Troy, 
 New York, was the ninth in descent from Castle, who migrated from Eng- 
 land to Massachusetts in 1638. 
 
 Directly after the marriage of his parents they went to New Orleans and there 
 remained until just before the Qvil War, when they moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, 
 where our classmate lived until his removal to New York in J886. 
 
 f» ft fi 
 
 His preparation for college was made under private tutors at St. PauL He 
 entered Yale with the Qass and was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta 
 Psi, and Alpha Delta Phi. 
 
 After graduation he studied law at the Columbia Law School, from which, in 
 1872, he received the degree of LL.B. He then spent a little over three years in 
 Europe, including a year of study in the University of Bonn, with Arthur P. Crane 
 and John C. Benton. Returning to his home he practiced law with his father until 
 the latter's death in J 884. Before leaving St. Paul, in J 886, he was offered an 
 appointment by Governor Merriam to the bench of the District Court in Minnesota, 
 corresponding to the Supreme Court of the State of New York. 
 
 After his removal to New York his chief client, until his failure, was Cyrus W. 
 Field. For a time he had an office in Dobbs Ferry, then went to the Law Depart- 
 ment of the Elevated Railway and afterwards to the office of Martin W. Littleton. 
 For the past year he has been practicing by himself. He has done considerable writ- 
 ing for others, chiefly on constitutional subjects, and is now engaged on a work on the 
 Tenth Amendment, which he expects to publish in about a year. 
 
 He says of himself: **l really believe I am the biggest hayseed in the Class. I 
 have never ridden in an automobile; I have never been on a roof garden in my life? 
 I have not been to Coney Island since 1884; and I have not been on a bicycle since I 
 used to ride around New Haven with Mase and Birdie GrinnelL Although I see 
 little of them, I r^ard every member of the Class with a fraternal affection that 
 increases with every year." 
 
 Allis was married, November J J, J875, to Miss Lida B. Ashton, of Philadelphia.

JOHN W. ANDREWS 
 J 870 and J 876 
 
70HN WALLINGFORD ANDREWS 
 
 JNDREWS. Bom in Columbus, Ohio, May 4, J849. Died May 8, 1880. 
 Son of John Whitney (Yale, J 830) and Lavinia (Gwynne) Andrews. 
 He was directly descended from William Andrews, one of the orig;inaI 
 founders of New Haven, Connecticut* The Gwynnes were settled early 
 in Maryland* 
 
 He was fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and 
 entered with the Qass* He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, 
 Psi Upsilon, and Skull and Bones. He took First Prize in the Linonia Prize Debates 
 of Freshman, Sophomore, and Senior years; and the Second Prize in that of Junior 
 year. In Senior year he took the Townsend Composition Prize, and graduated with 
 a High Oration stand. 
 
 The year after graduation was spent by Andrews in reading and study at home. 
 In July, 1 87 1, he sailed for Europe, where he remained for a year, spending the most 
 of it in Berlin. He then studied law in the Columbia Law School, from which he 
 was graduated in May, 1874. He afterwards began the practice of his chosen pro- 
 fession in Chicago, but the brilliant promise of his earlier career was clouded by ill 
 health. In the summer of J 879 he was appointed by the President of the United 
 States District Attorney for the Territory of Montana, and while in the performance 
 of the duties connected with that honorable position died at Helena, May 8, 1880, 
 from an attack of gastritis. He had never been married. 
 
 No man in the Class of Seventy started out in life with a higher ambition, and of 
 none was more expected in the line of success than was expected of John Andrews. 
 His brilliant success in the lines of debate and scholarship and his well-known desire 
 to make the most of himself in after life gave to his classmates the expectation that 
 £in exceptional career lay before him. That the promise did not end in corresponding 
 fruitage brought genuine sorrow to our hearts, which has found expression in all of 
 the meetings of the Class since his passing away from us. Just what he was was 
 so fittingly told by McQure in J 896 that his words may well be repeated here as they 
 were given in the Record of J 904: 
 
 **In all my experience with men I have never seen any one who had higher 
 hopes of a useful and cultured career than John Andrews. He meant to put under- 
 neath him a preparation for life that would enable him to build a broad and large 
 manhood. Of all our fellows there was none whom I expected to see advancing into 
 influence more stirely and rapidly than John. When word came of his death it 
 seemed as though a life of greatest promise had suddenly gone out, as though one of 
 the bravest of us all had fallen. 
 
"From the first day we met at Andover in January, 1866, until he died, John 
 and I were firm friends* His was a sweet nature, a h^hly organized nervous tem- 
 perament, and a mind that was ever eager and industrious. I think of him always 
 as fair-haired, bright-eyed, ruddy-cheeked, as he was when we chummed together 
 in Junior and Senior years. John will be to me so long as I Hve the merry-hearted 
 boy on whom the touch of mature years has made no impress. This memory of him 
 is very pleasant, especially as we ourselves grow older and see the changes made by 
 time in one another's faces. 
 
 "Mrs. Mason, who was with John at the time of his last illness and death, told 
 me a year ago that John's thoughts turned often to us in his closing hours, and that 
 he made mention of us all with great affection." 
 
 To the above characteriaiation may well be added the words of George Huntress, 
 uttered in his speech at our Fortieth Anniversary Dinner: "There was a boy who 
 came down witfi me from Andover whom not a single one of you has ever forgotten, 
 and if he had lived to full maturity — and I speak now with just appreciation and 
 respect for the great lawyers and judges who are with us — I think it not at all 
 unreasonable to assume that John Andrews would have been the most distinguished 
 lawyer of our Class. 
 
 "I do not know that you will remember him as I did, but there was a dynamic 
 force and an intellectual vigor about John Andrews that I do not think I ever observed 
 in any boy of his age. I am not speaking of his amiable characteristics, or of how 
 much we loved him, but there was a force of character about him that I have never 
 forgotten and never shall forget, and none of you will forget. He was easily, as I 
 have been told, the first scholar of his class at the Columbia Law School, was full of 
 ambition, and would have undoubtedly achieved great distinction if he had been per- 
 mitted to live. We all rejoice in our hearts that we knew him." 
 
WILLIAM H. BACKUS 
 1870 and 1905 
 
WILLIAM HENRY BACKUS 
 
 [ACKUS, Bom in West Killingly, Connecticut, Jdy 29, J844. Son of 
 the Honorable Thomas and Sarah Anna (Young) Backus. His father, 
 Thomas Backus (Brown University, Gass of J8J9), was bom March 9, 
 1800, in Sterling, G)nnecticut, whither his father, formerly a practicii^ 
 physician in Plainfield, had moved, and died December 9, 1858* He practiced law 
 for a few years in Brooklyn, Ginnecticut, then removed to West Killingly (now 
 Danielson), Ginnecticut, where he resided, with the exception of one year in Norwich 
 Town, for the remainder of his life* In the town of Killingly he was iu6gc of pro- 
 bate for a few years, afterwards becoming judge of the Windom County Court* He 
 represented the town and his senatorial district in the State L^slature several times 
 and was president of the State Senate* In 1849 he was elected lieutenant govemor* 
 He steadfastly declined to accept nominations for congressman and govemor by the 
 party then in power. His marriage to the mother of our classmate occurred in }829« 
 The Backus family is descended from William Backus, one of five brothers 
 who came from England in 1635 and settled in Saybrook, Connecticut, but removed 
 in }660 to Norwich, in the same state, William Henry beii^ seventh in direct line 
 from the original settler* 
 
 On his mother's side Backus is descended from the Rev. Robert Cushman, of 
 the Pilgrims, who came from England soon after the arrival of the ''Mayflower,*' 
 landing at Plymouth, Massachusetts. He traces the descent throt^h four Cush- 
 mans, an Avery, a Burnett, and Ebcnezcr Young, the latter being his mother's 
 father. This Ebene^er Young, a resident of Killingly, was a judge and was once 
 a member of Congress* Of his several children Backus's mother was the eldest* 
 Her brother, John Young, was the founder of the now well-known firm of Tiffany 
 and Company, of New York, becoming early associated with Charles Tiffany, the 
 early name of the firm being Tiffany, Young and Ellis* John Young's sister Har- 
 riet married Mr* Tiffany, who was himself a native of Kiflingly, and another sister, 
 Maria Young, married George McQure, who was long a partner of the firm of 
 
 Tiffany and Company. 
 
 /f ff /t 
 
 William Henry Backus was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, 
 entered the Gass of J 868 at Brown University, where he remained one term, and 
 joined the Class of J868, Yale, in January, J865. He remained with Sixty-e^ht 
 until the first term of Junior year. He joined our Qass the first term of our Junior 
 year and graduated with us. 
 
 He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa 
 Epsilon. 
 
 5 
 
After graduation he engaged in newspaper work in Boston, chiefly in connec- 
 tion with the "Daily Advertiser/* which he served at different times as reporter, night 
 editor, exchange ecStor, special writer, musical critic, and assistant dramatic critic. In 
 J 886 he was given an extended vacation trip over the Northern Pacific Railway; 
 and in J 886 visited California and the Sandwich Islands, his impaired health requir- 
 ing a change of climate and rest. 
 
 Since then he has been living a retired life in his home at Danielson, CotmecH- 
 cut. He wrote the Secretary in J9I0 that he was in the enjoyment of good health, 
 and added: "To Seventy my heart is and always will be loyal; and to such mem- 
 bers of the Qass as may happen to recall me kindly I would wish to be remem- 
 bered in the same spirit."

ROBERT BALDWIN 
 J870 and J 892 
 
*ROBERT BALDWIN 
 
 JALDWIN. Bom in Baltimore, Maryland, March J2, J847. Died April 
 21, 1 894, Son of Robert Turner and Ann Hackley (Hart) Baldwin. 
 His father, who was bom in Campbell Cotinty, Virginia, June J 4, J8J9, 
 was married in Baltimore, February J3, 1844, to Miss Hart, who was 
 bom December 25, I8I9, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He settled in Baltimore 
 when quite young, and after the Qvil War, in J 866 or J 867, became president of 
 the National Mechanics Bank, which office he held to the time of his death, Octo- 
 ber 7, J886. Mrs. Baldwin died February 15, 1884. 
 
 The first of the Baldwins in this country was Nathaniel, an early settler of Mil- 
 ford, Connecticut, where he was a free planter in 1693. Our classmate's father was 
 the eighth in descent from him, and was the son of Philemon Prindle Baldwin, bom 
 in Newtown, Connecticut, February 21, J 786, who married Elizabeth Jane Turner, 
 a native of Virginia, September 3, 1818. 
 
 The first of the Harts in this country was Malcolm, who came from Scotland 
 about the middle of 1700 and settled in Louisa County, Virginia. He died in the 
 old Manor House, Hartf ield. His son Archibald, who was bom in Virginia, April 4, 
 1792, and died at Hartwood, near Fredericksburg, May 13, 1875, was Robert's 
 grandfather. Archibald Hart's wife was Ann Rachel Carmichael, who was bom in 
 Fredericksbut^, February 1, 1798, and died at Hartwood, May 2, 1868. 
 
 Robert Baldwin was prepared for college at Carey's Latin School, Baltimore, 
 and entered with the Class. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, 
 Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon, and graduated with a Dispute stand. 
 
 He began the study of law directly after graduation, and barring some interrup- 
 tions, caused by business engagements and foreign travel, continued his studies until 
 he received his degree of LL.B. from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, in May, 
 1873. 
 
 He threw himself into his professional work with characteristic enthusiasm and 
 energy, gained the respect of all who came in contact with him, became prominent 
 in measures which looked to the improvement of his native city, and was a great 
 favorite in society. His hospitality was genuine and generous, and his loyalty to 
 Yale was manifested in ways which bound Yale men to him to an exceptional de- 
 gree. After his marriage he lived a very domestic life, being devoted to his wife, 
 whom he married ten years after his graduation from Yale. His health began to fail 
 several months before his death, which occurred at Canandaigua, after a distressing 
 illness, April 21, 1894.

The Secretaty, who was at times intimate with him while in coU^e» recalls 
 with great pleasure the memory- of a hr^ht, gentlemanly fellow, with whom it was 
 a del^ht to associate; and laments, with all his classmates, his early taking off* 
 
 He was married, November (8, }880, to Miss Jeannie Nichols, dat^hter of the 
 late Honorable Ansel Bascom, of Seneca Falls, New York, who survives him.

 business in New York Qty; and his mother was Maria (Clark) Beach» 
 
 who was bom in Milford in 1806. His parents were married in 1826. 
 
 The founder of the family in this country was Thomas Beach, bom probably 
 
 about 1621* He came originally from Derbyshire, England, and his name first 
 
 appears in the Colonial Records of New Haven, April 7, 1646, as ^bearing arms*'' 
 
 He located in Milford sometime before 1654. 
 
 Dennis Beach was the seventh child of Samuel Beach (the fourth in descent 
 
 from Thomas) and Charlotte Rogers* She was bom in 1768, and was a direct 
 
 descendant from John Rogers, one of the original ''Planters'' of the Milford colony; 
 
 and it is a family tradition that John Rogers, the Smithfield martyr who suffered 
 
 death by burning in the reign of "Bloody Mary," of England, was also a lineal 
 
 ancestor of hers. 
 
 On the maternal side, Maria Clark was of the sixth generation from George 
 
 Clark, Sr., who was bom in England and was one of the original ''Planters" of 
 
 the Milford colony. 
 
 ^ ff ff 
 
 Beach had three brothers who were connected with Yale College at one time or 
 another, viz.: William Beach, who was a member of the Class of 1853, but did not 
 graduate; Ferdinand Beach, who graduated in the Class of I860; and Dennis Beach, 
 Jr., a member of the Class of 1869, but who did not graduate. AH of these are now

 Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He is also a member of Wolf's 
 Head and of the Phi Beta Kappa. In 1873 he received the degree of A.M. from 
 Yale. 
 
 For one year after graduation he resided in Stamford, Connecticut, and was an 
 instructor in the Stamford Military Institute of that place. In the fall of 1871 he 
 removed to New York Qty and began the study of the law at the Law School of 
 Columbia College, from which he was graduated in the spring of 1873 with the 
 degree of LL.B., and was thereupon admitted to the New York Bar. He has prac- 
 ticed law in New York City from his admission to the present time.

He resided continuously in New York Qty from the fall of 1 87 J to the spring; 
 of 1909, when he removed to Mount Vernon, New York, where he now resides at 
 No. 209 Prospect Avenue. 
 
 He was married, July 25, t907, to Anna Bodell Yeatman, daughter of Robert 
 Henry and Mary Olivia (Simpson) Yeatman, of Washington, District of Columbia.

GEORGE L. BEARDSLEY 
 J 870 and 190 J 
 
*GEORGE LUCIUS BEARDSLEY 
 
 EARDSLEY. Bom in Derby, Connecticut, May J2, 1848. Died Febru- 
 ary 26, J9t0. Son of Lucius Nichols, M.D„ and Betsey Ann (Coley) 
 Beardsley, He was a great-grandson of Captain Samuel Beardsley, of 
 Revolutionary War fame. 
 
 He prepared for college at the Milford High School and the Hopkins Grammar 
 School, New Haven, and entered with the Class, He was a member of Brothers 
 in Unity and Gamma Nu, attained to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, and gradu- 
 ated with an Oration stand. He also took the Third Prize in the Sophomore Com- 
 position contest. 
 
 After graduating he studied at the Yale Medical School for a year. In the 
 autumn of 1 87 1 he began practice in Milford, and the winter following was assistant 
 of Dr. Jewett, of New Haven, In September, 1872, he entered Bellevue Medical 
 College, New York Qty, from which he was graduated in J 873, He accepted at 
 once an appointment as surgeon of the New York Qty Bureau of Surgical Relief — 
 a department of Bellevue Hospital. A year later he removed to New Haven, Con- 
 necticut, and in February, J 875, took up his residence in Derby, where he continued 
 to reside and practice his profession until his death, which occurred February 26, 
 19 10. He served five years as assistant surgeon of the Second Regiment, C. N. G., 
 and for a number of years was post sturgeon of Derby. He was for four terms 
 school visitor and for thirty-two years a member of the Town Board of Education 
 of Derby, being chairman of the board for one term. For twenty-five years he was 
 a medical examiner for the town of Derby, and for a similar period the representative 
 of the coroner in that town. He was also twice health officer for Derby and medical 
 examiner for seven life insurance companies. 
 
 His writings are of a varied character, embracing the following magazine arti- 
 cles: Mysterious Deaths; Doctors, and What They Did in J 876; Physical Culture 
 versus Tuberculosis; A Medical Objection to Dancing; Does Death Sting? Medical 
 Uses of Music; What's in a Laugh; Fads and the Fad Chaser; Tobacco Slaves; 
 The Impeachment of the Body; Method in Disease; Licensed Brothels; The 
 Drunkard — A Sick Man; Glimpses of Europe; Ready Helps for the Injured; The 
 Food Problem; Mischievous Medicine; The Treatment of Ulcers; Breakers Ahead; 
 The Great White Plague. 
 
 Beardsley devoted himself strictly to college work all the time he was with us, 
 hence he did not cut the figure in the Class that he might have done had he been less 
 studious. That his diligence counted for much is evidenced by what he was enabled 
 
 it 
 
to do in the practice of his profession* His name is recorded among the names of 
 those who were at the Triennial Meeting;, but is not on the lists of later anniversary 
 gatherings. The Gass therefore had no means of measuring the growth which 
 he had made in intellectual attainment by mingling with men* 
 
 He was married, December 24, (874, to Miss Maria Louise Ailing, daughter 
 of Amos H* AUing, a woolen manufacturer of Derby, who survives him with one 
 son and a daughter*

MORRIS B. BEARDSLEY 
 J870 and 191 1 
 
MORRIS BEACH BEARDSLEY 
 
 [EARDSLEY. Bom at Trumbull, Fairfield County, Connecticut, August 
 J3, 1849. Son of Samuel Gregory and Mary (Beach) Beardsley* His 
 father, a farmer, was bom in Trumbull, Connecticut, December 27, t824, 
 and died there, November 2J, J89I. His mother was bom in Trumbull, 
 October 27, I829« The founder of the family in this country was William Beards- 
 ley, who embarked from London in the ship "Planter" in April, J 635, was admitted 
 a freeman in Massachusetts, December 7, J 636, and was one of the first settlers in 
 Stratford, Connecticut, in J 639, Morris Beach Beardsley claims descent from 
 eleven ancestors who rendered service during the Colonial period, among whom 
 was Governor Thomas Wells ; and counts five ancestors among the patriots of the 
 War of the Revolution. 
 
 He was prepared for college at the Stratford Academy, and entered the Class 
 Freshman year. He was a member of Linonia and of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and 
 graduated with a Colloquy stand. 
 
 After graduation he took a year's course at the Columbia Law School, and 
 completed his legal preparation in the office of William H. Seeley, Esq. He was 
 admitted to the bar in June, 1872, and taken into partnership with Mr. Seeley, under 
 the firm name of Seeley and Beardsley. Having been elected city clerk of Bri(%e- 
 port on January J, 1874, this partnership was dissolved. In 1877 he was elected 
 judge of probate, and was annually reelected until January, t893, when he declined 
 a renomination and was chosen a representative to the General Assembly of his state. 
 From 1893 to June, 1897, he practiced law by himself at Bridgeport, and then formed 
 a partnership with his son, Samuel F. Beardsley, Yale, 1895, and Yale Law School, 
 t897, under the name of Beardsley and Beardsley, with their office at Bridgeport, 
 where they are stiU doing business. 
 
 In J 893 Beardsley was nominated by the Democratic party of Connecticut for 
 lieutenant governor. Though not elected, he came out of the contest with an 
 enhanced reputation. On the floor of the Legislature he took a commanding posi- 
 tion, and was largely instrumental in securing Judge Simeon E. Baldwin the position 
 which he has so ably filled on the bench of the Supreme Court. 
 
 Much of his time has been freely given to the promotion of the objects aimed at 
 by patriotic societies, which have honored him by conferring upon him some of their 
 highest offices. In J 905, at the Congress of the National Society of the Sons of 
 the American Revolution, in Philadelphia, he was elected first vice-president gen- 
 eral of this organisation, and at the Twentieth Annual Congress of the same body 
 he was unanimously elected its president general. He has also been govemor 
 
 J3 
 
of the Connecticut Society, and is now deputy governor general of the National 
 Society of Colonial Wars. 
 
 He is identified with several business enterprises; is a director of the Connecti- 
 cut National Bank; a trustee of the People's Savings Bank; secretary of the Bur- 
 roughs Home for Widows; vice-president of the Silver Plate Cutlery Company;

CHARLES SHAFER BELFORD 
 
 ^ELFORD. Bom in Mauch Chunk, Carbon County, Pennsylvania, No- 
 vember 24, 1848. Son of George and Hannah (Rhinesmith) Belford* 
 His father was descended from Eng:Iish parentagfe and was a coal oper- 
 ator. The first ancestors in this country, on his mother's side, emigrated 
 from Germany to Pennsylvania in the eighteenth century. 
 
 Charles Shafer Belford was prepared for college at Saunders Institute, West 
 Philadelphia, and entered Yale with the Qass* He was a member of Linonia, 
 Gamma Nu, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Scroll and Key. 
 
 After graduating he pursued a course of study at the University of Pennsyl-

WILLIAM JAMES BETTS 
 
 ?ETTS. Bom at Stamford, Gmnecticut, May i% J 847, Son of James 
 and Amelia D'Autremont (Lockwood) Betts. His father was bom in 
 Wilton, G)nnecticut, in April, 18 JO. He took a special course at Yale 
 and established Betts Academy at North Stamford in 1838, moved to 
 Wilton in J840, and to Strawberry Hill, Stamford, in J844. 
 
 Our classmate's ancestors, on both sides, came from England, his father's set- 
 tling near Norwalk, Ginnecticut, and his mother's in Poundridge, New York. One 
 of his mother's ancestors was a member of the Gintinental Congress, and was 
 honored by a visit of a detachment of Tarleton's cavalry sent on purpose to capture 
 him, but without success. 
 
 Betts was prepared for college in his father's school, and entered Yale with 
 the Qass of 1869, but was obliged to leave college in the fall of J 867 on account 
 of a visitation of typhoid fever. He entered Seventy at the beginning of Junior 
 year and graduated with us. He was a member of Brothers, Gamma Nu, and 
 Alpha Delta Phi, and graduated with a Dissertation stand. 
 
 From 1870 to 1880 Betts acted as head master of Betts Academy. Li 1880 
 he was in business in New York. From the spring of J 88 J to 1885 he was in 
 charge of a subscription book business in Hartford, Connecticut, which had been 
 started by his eldest brother? but on the death of his father, in J 885, he returned 
 to school work. The academy had been on the decline, but by the enei^ and 
 determination of our classmate it grew in numbers and reputation from year to 
 year, until it became necessary to enlarge the capacity of the buildii^s. In the 
 summer of 1894 the school was practically rebuilt to accommodate sixty boarding 
 students. From 1900 on, the school was full every year. On the night of Janu- 
 ary 21, J908, the buildings were totally destroyed by fire. So complete was this 
 calamity that Betts decided not to rebuild. 
 
 In the summer of J909 he built a home for himself on an eminence overlook- 
 ing the old domains and started a Tutoriig School, in the management of which 
 he has met with deserved success. 
 
 He was married in New Haven, Connecticut, July J5, J875, to Miss Anna 
 Woods, daughter of Ariel Parish, Yale, J835, and for many years Superintendent 
 of the New Haven public schools. 
 
 They have one child, Charlotte Elizabeth, who was bom May J, J 878.

DAVID M. BONE 
 J870 and J9JJ 
 
 '^^^i 
 
DAVE) McCOY BONE 
 
 ^ONE. Bom in Menard County, Illinois, April t8, J846. The oldest 
 son of Robert Smith and Nancy (McCoy) Bone. His father, a success- 
 ful farmer and stock raiser, mig:rated in 1824 from East Tennessee to 
 Central Illinois, being one of the early settlers of that section of the 
 latter state* 
 
 The Bone family started in this country about J 720 with an immigrant from 
 the north of L?eland, who settled in the CaroKnas. The great-grandfather of David 
 McCoy Bone, a native of North Carolina, was a soldier of the Revolution, and his 
 grandfather, a native of Tennessee, served in the War of J8J2. 
 
 David McCoy Bone spent his boyhood days on a farm and left home for school 
 when about eighteen years old. He prepared for collie at the Hoptdns Grammar 
 School, New Haven, Connecticut, and entered with the Qass. He was a member 
 of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. Dur- 
 ii^ Senior year he was commodore of the Yale Navy, having rowed on the Univer- 
 sity crew the previous July, in their race with Harvard. He stroked the Uni- 
 versity crew of 1870 in the last race that was rowed gainst Harvard on Lake 
 Quinsigamond, Worcester, when the Yale colors came in ahead of the Crimson, it 
 being the first University crew since the famous Wilbur Bacon crew of 1865 to 
 defeat our Harvard rivals on that famous sheet of fresh water. Through Bone's 
 efforts a conference was held in the spring of 1870 with the captain and committee 
 of Harvard, at New London, with the hope of inducing the Harvard crew to row 
 a straight-away race on the Thames; but the effort was ineffectual. Bone's efforts 
 in other directions were broad-minded, and doubtless did much towards laying deep 
 foundations for the many successes which afterwards came to the Yale crews at 
 Springfield and New London. 
 
 After leaving college Bone spent a year on the farm; another year in teaching 
 and acting as principal of the Petersburg (Illinois) Seminary, The next ten years 
 he engaged in the furniture and undertaking business, in which he lost his health. 
 In 1887 he moved to Kansas Qty, Missouri, and has been interested most of the time 
 since then in manufacturing. He started the leading spring bed factory of the city, 
 and while engaged there in business for himself did much for the public good, as 
 may be seen from the facts that he organized the Business Men's League, a com- 
 mercial organization which was the first to act in the interest of navigation of the 
 Missouri River; and brot^ht about the union of all the commercial organizations of 
 the city into one Commercial Club, increasing its membership from four hundred to 
 
 one thousand* 
 
 J7 
 
In 1903 he removed to Mount Washington, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas Qty, 
 and is now interested in the Commercial State Bank of that place. 
 
 He has never sought office, and only owns up to havii^ been an cider of the 
 Cumberland Presbyterian Church while he was living in Petersburg. 
 
 He was married, April t6, J874, to Miss Mary Paul, dat^hter of Alexander 
 Rainey, MJD., of Petersburg, Illinois.

WALTER BUCK 
 1870 and J9JJ 
 
WALTER BUCK 
 
 ^UCK. Bom at Boston, Massachusetts, September 29, 1847. Son of 
 Edward and Elizabeth Greene (Hubbard) Buck, His father, who was 
 bom in New York Qty, October 13, J 8 14, and died in Andover, Massa- 
 chusetts, July 16, 1876, was a graduate of Yale CoIIegfe, Class of 1835. 
 The Buck family were early settlers of Wethersficld, Connecticut j Emanuel Buck, 
 who was bom in 1623, being a freeman and constable of that town and the first of 
 seven generations, ending in Walter. 
 
 On his mother's side our classmate is descended from William Hubbard, an 
 early settler of Ipswich, Massachusetts. His mother's father was Samuel Hubbard, 
 a distinguished jurist, scholar, and citizen, who graduated at Yale in J 802, became a 
 iudgz of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and was honored with the degree of 
 LL.D., both by Yale and Harvard. 
 
 Among his other ancestors of note may be mentioned John Winthrop; John 
 Leverett, colonial governor of Massachusetts; Sir Richeird Saltonstall; John Haynes, 
 colonial governor of Connecticut; Rev. William Hubbard, the historian; and Gardi- 
 ner Greene, who was rated in his day as the wealthiest man in Massachusetts. 
 
 Walter Buck was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, and 
 entered Yale with the Class of J 868, but was obliged to give up his studies the second 
 term of Freshman year on account of sickness. He reentered with Seventy and 
 graduated with us. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta 
 Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon, and graduated with a Dispute stand. As a ball 
 player, both on the Class and University Nines, he did honor to himself and to the 
 college. In the game which the Class Nine played with the Harvard Nine at 
 Worcester in July, J 86 7, when Seventy's Nine won in the final score of 38 to 18, 
 Buck played center field. 
 
 Following his graduation Buck spent some three years in Geneva, New York, 
 about a year in Andover, and a few months in Clinton, Iowa, engaged in civil engi- 
 neering. Since then his residence has been in Andover, but his business has been 
 that of bookkeeper and cashier for J. M. Meredith, real estate agent, Boston, and 
 for successive firms coming forward under the names of Meredith and Nelson and 
 Meredith and Grew. 
 
 While attending strictly to business. Buck has continued to keep up his interest 
 in baseball and in whatever pertains to the welfare of Yale; showing his interest in 
 the former by attendance upon match games in Boston, and his fidelity to Old Yale 
 by being present at gatherings of the Boston Yale Qub and Yale Alumni Associa- 
 tion, of which he is a member. 
 
 19 
 
In I9t0 he went abroad with Mrs* Buck and visited Naples, Rome, Florence, 
 Venice, Paris, and London. 
 
 He was married, April )0, }888, to Miss Mary Wescott Lawrie, dat^hter of 
 William Lawrie, a Boston importer of linens*

ZACHARY T. CARPENTER 
 1870 and J89J 
 
*ZACHARY TAYLOR CARPENTER 
 
 ARPENTER, Bom in Lebanon, Connecticut, December 2, 1848. Died 
 April J, J89J. Son of John T. and Mary A. Carpenter. 
 
 He was prepared for college in New London, Connecticut, and entered the 
 Qass Freshman year. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, and Alpha 
 Delta Phi, and was one of our most prominent athletes and very popular. 
 
 No information about his life after graduation can be given in addition to that 
 which was incorporated in the Bic^aphical Record of J904, which is reproduced 
 as follows: 
 
 Qapp wrote of him after his death; ''After leaving New Haven he taught a few 
 months in a private school in Brooklyn, when, making the acquaintance of A. G. 
 Mills, who was afterward very prominent in athletics, but at this time was clerk in 
 the Treasury Department, he was invited to Washington to play ball and row with 
 the Potomac Rowing Association, and as an inducement was given an appoint- 
 ment in the Treasury Department. This he kept for six years. During the time 
 of his services he was appointed one of the clerical force which went to London with 
 the government loan, and while there was quartered in the offices of the Rothschilds. 
 He resigned from the Treasury Department December, 1876, and went into partner- 
 ship with another treasury clerk who had resigned, and until his death conducted 
 the business of mail contracting. They had several hundred star routes, and were 
 very successful in a business way. 
 
 "During Carpenter's residence in Washington he was a member of several 
 athletic and social clubs, and was very popular everywhere. I think he had as large 
 an acquaintance in Washington as any man either in public or private life. He was 
 a member of the Potomac Rowing Association crew which went to Saratoga in 
 J 874, and was also one of the best players on the Washington Baseball Nine dur- 
 ing two or three seasons. His connection with the Star Route business required 
 numerous journeys over the West and Northwest, and for two or three years he 
 was almost constantly away from Washington, until his business was established 
 on a firm basis. Before leaving the Treasury Department he studied law at the 
 Columbia University and was admitted to the bar. He did not practice, however, 
 but his legal knowledge was doubtless attained for his own use in the business of 
 mail contracting." 
 
 Another classmate writes: "Carpenter was a man of considerable business 
 ability, and found it more profitable to secure contracts under the government than 
 to practice his profession of the law. He was a man who cultivated himself in every 
 
 2t 
 
way, and few, if any, of his classmates surpassed him in the progress which he made 
 in intellectual matters after leaving coflege.'* 
 
 The "Yale Obituary Record'* said of him that "he was a man of wide general 
 reading, not only in his own language, but also in French, German, and Spanish, 
 all of which he had acquired after leaving college." A Washington journal spoke 
 of him as "a. whole-souled man. He won friends everywhere, and retained 
 them always — a man of splendid physique, genial disposition, and very winning 
 personality." 
 
 He was very loyal to Yale, very fond of meeting Old Yale men, and greatly 
 enjoyed the reunions in Washington. He used to spend his summers with his wife 
 at Stony Creek, where they met many New Haven friends. 
 
 Carpenter's health had been very poor for a year or two before his death, and 
 in the latter part of 1890 he went on a voyage to West Indian and South Amer- 
 ican ports on the advice of his physician* But the journey did him no good, and 
 he returned to Washington in very feeble health, where he died, April J, J89I, of 
 cirrhosis of the liver. He was buried at Norwich, Connecticut, by the side of his 
 parents. 
 
 He left a wife, Virginia, to whom he was married April 29, J 875. She was 
 a dat^hter of Judge William R. Sapp, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, who was formerly 
 a member of Congress. 
 
 It is a fact of no little interest to the Class that Carpenter's love for Yale 
 prompted him to leave a small residuary estate, after the deatfi of his widow, to the 
 college for a professorship fund.

 NORMAN W. GARY 
 J870 and J9JJ 
 
NORMAN WHITE GARY 
 
 JARY. Bom in New York Qty October 29, J849. Son of Rev. Josiah 
 Addison Gary (born and raised in West Brookfield, Massachusetts) and 
 Gertrude (Jenkins) Gary, of Hudson, New York, The Gary family 
 trace back to the time of William the Gonqueror, and in this country to 
 John Gary, who about 1634 came from Somersetshire, near the city of Bristol, 
 England, and joined the Plymouth Golony, as narrated in the "Gary Memorials/* 
 John Gary was one of the original proprietors of Duxbury and Bridgewater, Mas- 
 sachusetts, and was the first town clerk of Bridgewater, His mother's family were 
 Quakers, and avoiding persecution left their estates in Nantucket and fled to the 
 head of sloop navigation, where they became the founders of what was later Hudson, 
 New York. Both parents were persons of eminent piety, 
 
 ,* /* ^ 
 
 Norman White Gary was privileged to study under the best teachers of his 
 day: Gharles Short and Rev, John W, Fairies, D,D., of Philadelphia? Samuel H, 
 Taylor, of Andover; President Woolsey, of Yale; and the venerable Gharles Hodge, 
 DJD„ of Princeton, Being prepared for college a year under age, he was sent to 
 Andover and graduated from Phillips Academy with the Qass of 1866, nearly half 
 of whom entered Yale in the fall. He was a member of the Linonia and Delta 
 Kappa societies. He took the First Sophomore Mathematical, the Senior Astro- 
 nomical, and divided with Gope the First Senior Mathematical Prizes, He had 
 charge of the Observatory on the Atheneum building. Senior year, with its five and 
 two inch telescopes. Too well prepared at the start and with no announced marks 
 to stimulate him, he found himself at end of Sophomore year with the glorious 
 stand of 2,04; but he fought this handicap and graduated in the first third with a 
 Dispute stand, just within the limits of Phi Beta Kappa, In 1873 he received the 
 degree of A,M, Light built, he took no public part in college athletics, but took great 
 interest in the class prayer meeting, the Yale Glee Glub, and the Ghapel Ghoir under 
 Dr. Stoeckel, On Glass Day he played the organ for the Glass exercises. 
 
 After graduation he studied theology at the Princeton Theological Seminary, 
 thus being eight years a classmate with McGlure, Here his fondness for shorthand 
 showed itself in a "Record of Gommencement Week" of his class, and in a report 
 of the Hodge Scmi-Gentennial Addresses; and quite recently in reporting the Fortieth 
 Anniversary Gelebration of the Glass of Seventy, He was licensed to preach by the 
 Presbytery of Philadelphia, April 2, J 872, and just after graduation was ordained 
 by that body. May 8, J 873, in the historic Galvary Ghurch, and placed in charge 
 of the youngest of their seven city missions, now the large Hope Ghurch. Matthew 
 
 23 
 
Baldwin, the locomotive builder, was for years his Stinday school superintendent. 
 Excessive work on Sunday broke his voice, and he spent the winter of J875-J876 at 
 the Union Theological Seminary, New York Qty, under Samuel H. Adams, DD. 
 He preached all that winter at Noroton, Connecticut, and in the spring of IZ76 was 
 called to the pastorate of the oldest Presbyterian church in Minnesota, the First 
 Church of St. PauL From February to April, 1878, he held the frontier post at 
 Bismarck, North Dakota, then the terminus of the Northern Pacific Railway. In 
 May he returned East on account of his mother's health, and began preaching at 
 Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in November. In May, 1880, he left there, and soon 
 after his mother's death, in February, 1882, again started West, locating at Grand 
 Forks, North Dakota. Here he took an active part in the formation of the Synod 
 of North Dakota, holding several offices, as elsewhere. 
 
 While preaching at Moorhead, Minnesota, he started a school at Fai^o, across 
 the river, which was soon overshadowed by subsidized state and denominational 
 institutions. Retiring from that field, he took counsel with his old instructor. 
 President Cyrus Northrup, at the head of the University of Minnesota, and by his 
 advice went to Baltimore and entered Johns Hopkins, where Welch was already a 
 rising luminary, taking special studies in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry; after 
 which he was called to a professorship in the Wilson College at Chambersburg, 
 from which, a year later, in 1892, he went to the Orchard Lake Military Academy, 
 the West Point of the West, twenty-six miles northwest of Detroit. In J 894 he 
 began his last pastorate in the beautiful millionaire suburb of Detroit, Grosse Pointe. 
 Two of the trustees were James McMillan, the beautifier of Washington, and Tru- 
 man Newberry, afterward Secretary of the Navy. 
 
 Completely broken down in health, he left the work in the fall of 1898 and took 
 up active outdoor work with the Provident Life and Trust Company, of Philadel- 
 phia. When the insurance upheaval came, his attention was directed to the rising 
 profession of accountancy, which he entered in 1908. 
 
 He writes: "Ambitious but sensitive, and lacking direction, for I never knew 
 the care of a male relative? earnest, painstaking, persistent, I was diverted from my 
 natural channel when a boy, but I have accomplished some good, I beKeve, throt^h 
 teaching and preaching, and now, having crossed the ministerial *dead-line,* I am 
 relieving the worldliness of business by occasional pulpit supply, sometimes of several 
 months' duration, and looking forward to that Grand Reunion, where I hope to 
 meet very many of my classmates, on the 
 
 * Shore of the river 
 That flows by the throne of God.* " 
 
 He was married, July 20, 1885, to Miss Hannah Craig, daughter of Andrew 
 Craig, a Scotchman of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Ann Jane (Brown) Craig.

 road and United States Attomey for the District of Connecticut to the National 
 Republican Conventions of J876 and J880, and counsel for many railroad corpora-

 elected judge of the Superior Court by the Legislature, he declined the honor, pre- 
 ferring to confine himself to the practice of his profession. He died in 1884. 
 
 The founder of the family in this country was Charles Chadwick, bom in 
 England in 1596, who came over in Govemor Winthrop's fleet in 1630, was made 
 freeman at Watertown, Massachusetts, May 18, I63J, selectman many times from

 Newbury, Massachusetts, April 6, 1675, and came to Lyme, Connecticut, in J 692, 
 where the family has been ever since. 
 
 On the matemal side, the Noyes are descended from the first minister of New- 
 bury, Massachusetts, the Rev. James Noyes, of Choulderton, Wilts, England, a 
 graduate of Brazenose College, Oxford, and the father of the Rev. James Noyes, 
 one of the founders of Yale College. His brother, the Rev. Moses Noyes, grad- 
 uate of Harvard, J 659, came to Lyme, Connecticut, in J 666, and was its first minis- 
 ter for sixty years. On this side also were Sir Francis Willoughby, deputy govemor 
 of Massachusetts, J665 to I67I, and Elder William Brewster, of the "Mayflower." 
 
 Rev. Moses Noyes was a Fellow of Yale College from 1703 to 1729, and almost 
 continuously from that date to J 888 some relative has served as a Fellow of Yale. 
 Among those of note were Judge Nathaniel Lynde, the first treasurer; the Rev. 
 Mathew Noyes, Qass of J 785; and Morrison R. Waite, Qass of 1837, chief justice 
 of the Supreme Court of the United States, a son of Henry M. Waite, Class of t809, 
 chief justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, and a great-uncle of Chadwick*

 Yale, J 775 (a surgeon in the Revolutionary Army and a member of the Society 
 of Cincinnati).

CHARLES N. CHADWICK 
 J 868 and 1904 
 
with an honorable dismissal from President Woolsey, to study in Germany. His 
 name has been placed on the roll of graduates by vote of the corporation of Yale 
 University, in response to a petition from the Qass based upon Chadwick's scholarly 
 attainments and his record as a worker in educational and civic lines. 
 
 Upon Chadwick's return to America he entered the banking house of Henry 
 Clews and Company. From there he went into the dry goods commission business 
 of Banning, Chadwick and Company, and afterward was for several years president 
 of the C. N. Chadwick Company, manufacturers, the active management of which 
 he gave up in 1905, upon his appointment as commissioner of the Board of Water 
 Supply of the city of New York. 
 
 In J 876 Chadwick's attention was called to the kindergarten. His work in this 
 field developed into the incorporation, in 1883, of the Froebel Academy, an insti- 
 tution which has achieved a national reputation. Of its board of trustees he is the 
 honored president. 
 
 Chadwick is one of the organizers of the Brooklyn Free Kindergarten Society 
 and a trustee. As chairman of the General Committee of this society, he took up 
 actively the work of the introduction of the kindergarten in the public schools of 
 New York, and finally, in 1896, as a member of the Kindergarten Committee of 
 the Brooklyn Board of Education, he succeeded in putting the first kindergarten into 
 the public schools of that city. 
 
 He appeared before the Committee on Schools of the Greater New York Charter 
 Commission on October 21, 1896. The New York ** Tribune," on the following 
 day, in an editorial entitled, "Unifying the Schools," said: 
 
 "The 'Tribune' has already expressed the opinion more than once that in any 
 consistent scheme of consolidation the public school system of the component parts 
 of the Greater New York must be unified. . . . This question remained unanswered 
 until yesterday, when at a conference on the subject in the Brooklyn Institute an in- 
 telligent answer was offered by Mr. Charles N. Chadwick. . . . Mr. Chadwick's 
 idea is that New York, Brooklyn, Richmond, and Queens should each have its own 
 Board of Education, and that representatives of each of these boards should form a 
 central school commission; . . . large boards would be required, but the central body 
 need not be lai^e; ... the plan which Mr. Chadwick has originated is an intelligent 
 and practicable one." 
 
 This plan was eventually incorporated in the charter. 
 
 Recognizing the necessity of bringing parents and teachers together in the 
 interest of the child, Chadwick oi^anized the first Parents' Society in P. S. No. 
 35, Brooklyn. In an article published in "The Outlook" of October 8, 1898, on 
 "Parents and the Public Schools," he showed the purpose and scope of this work. 
 At a hearing before the Senate Committee on Qties, Albany, New York, February 
 J 6, 1899, on the educational interests of the Greater New York, Chadwick appeared 
 
 27 
 
in opposition to the centralization of school power. The "New York Education,*' 
 of Albany, New York, commenting upon his address, in an editorial published 
 March, J899, said: 
 
 "Mr, Chadwick's presentation of the ideas of those opposed to centralization 
 of school power proved to be the most scholarly, lucid, and effective presentation of 
 that point of view we have ever heard. ... Mr. Chadwick's sound pedagogy, clear 
 reasoning, and evident knowlecfee of his subject profoundly impressed, if it did not 
 convince, all present." . . . 
 
 As chairman of the committee in charge of the Truant School of Brooklyn, 
 Chadwick introduced the Junior George principle of self-government, also garden 
 planting, military drill, and all the various activities of the Manual Training School 
 
 In an editorial of June 29, J899, the Brooklyn "Daily Eagle," commenting on 
 the report of Chadwick for the establishment of a school for girls in which "domestic 
 economy and practical handwork" shall be taught, said: 
 
 "The theory of that proposition is sound. It recognizes the fact that more of 
 the girls in our public schools will be wives than teachers or clerks, and it is designed 
 to impart to them knowledge which will be useful in the home rather than in the 
 schoolroom or the store: . . . altogether the new proposition is the most hopeful for 
 the future homes of Brooklyn that has come out of the school board for a long time." 
 
 Chadwick was member of the Brooklyn Board of Education from J896 to J899. 
 He was also a director of the Brooklyn Public Library Board, J 897 to J 898. 
 
 A charter member of the Manufacturers* Association of New York, Chadwick 
 has served continuously for sixteen years on its Board of Directors. As chairman 
 of the committee in chaise of the first banquet of the association, speaking to the 
 toast, "CXir Municipality a Business Corporation," he committed the association to 
 the solution of the municipal problem along the lines of the New England town meet- 
 ing idea. In }894 he was chairman of a committee that brought to the attention of 
 the Constitutional Convention, sitting at Albany, the question of the separation of 
 municipal from state and national elections, and the consideration of the protection 
 of the public schools in the prohibition of the use of public funds for sectarian 
 purposes. These propositions afterward became a part of the organic law of the 
 state of New York. For three years he was chairman of the Committee on Legis- 
 lation. On February 9, t903, as chairman of that committee, in the matter of assess- 
 ment of franchises, he held that franchises for taxation purposes were not personal 
 property, but real estate; that a franchise connected with the ground by the laying of 
 a track partook of its character and became real estate. This position was accepted 
 by the association, and he was sent to Albany to urge upon Governor Roosevelt its 
 adoption. Subsequently the tax law was amended by the Legislature to include the 
 franchises of a corporation in the definition of land, creating a new principle of law 
 which has been sustained by the courts. 
 
 28 
 
Chadwick was chairman of the delegation of the Manufacturers' Association 
 to the Indianapolis Monetary Conventions in 1897 and 1898. At the first meeting;, 
 January 13, 1897, he introduced a resolution for the establishment of the "Scottish** 
 branch banks, and the next day was invited to speak to the convention from the plat- 
 form on the history of the legal tender from the time of the Massachusetts Bffl of 
 Credit and the Continental dollar to the greenback. 
 
 As chairman of the Brooklyn delegation, he attended the first convention of 
 the Qti^ens* Industrial Association of America at Chicago, in November, J903, and 
 spoke on "The Solution of the Industrial- Problem." He was offered the position 
 of vice-president to represent the Middle West and the East, but declined. 
 
 At the convention in Indianapolis, February 27, J904, he made an address on the 
 "Eight Hour Law," and at the convention in New York, November 29, 1904, an 
 address on the "American Apprentice and the Artisan School." At the New York 
 convention he was chairman of the Committee on Resolutions. 
 
 Chadwick has appeared for the Manufacturers' Association as the representa- 
 tive of various committees on finance, canals, water, education, rapid transit, tunnels, 
 etc., before committees of the state Legislature, the governor of the state of New York, 
 the mayor and Common Council of New York City, the Rapid Transit Commis- 
 sion, Congressional and Senate committees, and the President of the United States. 
 He was appointed chairmian of the Brooklyn Committee of Fifty, March 
 26, 1902, and took up actively the problem of transportation. The New York 
 "Herald," April JJ, 1903, commenting upon the mass meeting held in Cooper Union 
 and called by the Citizens' Union and forty-four other organizations for the purpose 
 of voicing a protest against the "grab" railroad bills then pending in the Legislature, 
 said: 
 
 "Charles N. Chadwick spoke of the intense feeling against attempts . . . Mr. 
 Chadwick then offered a resolution demanding the passage of a law creating a local 
 railroad commission, which was unanimously adopted." 
 It is now known as the Public Service Commission. 
 
 On June 9, 1905, Chadwick was appointed one of the three commissioners of 
 the Board of Water Supply of the city of New York. The commission was the 
 result of eight years of almost single-handed effort expended by Chadwick before he 
 was able, in J 904, to bring the civic bodies of New York together to support the 
 plan of a commission first submitted by him in a report on water, made on March 15, 
 1897; wherein he recommended the appointment of a non-partisan commission of 
 business men to secure continuity of plan and administration, to separate the water 
 debt from the constitutional debt limit, to finance the work without embarrassment to 
 the city, and to contemplate a period of not less than fifty years, so that the work of 
 construction might be harmonious, intelligent, economical, and always in the direc- 
 tion of the final accomplishment of the entire scheme. He introduced bill after bill in 
 
 29 
 
the Legislature from I90I to 1904, made many speeches and innumerable reports, 
 until it finally was accomplished. At the exercises connected with the turning of 
 the first sod, near Peekskill, New York, on June 20, J907, Mayor McQeflan 
 said: 
 
 "Nor could we have aroused public opinion without the help of the public- 
 spirited civic organizations, first and foremost among which was the Manufactur- 
 ers' Association of Brooklyn, under the insistent, consistent, and persistent direction 
 of our commissioner, Mr. Chadwick.*' 
 
 In an article published in **The Outlook," February, J909, **h Subway for 
 Water," by Ernest Hamlin Abbott, this was said: 
 
 "After all, however, the financial problem, the engineering problem, the organ- 
 ization problem, the legislative problem, are all parts of one problem. When the 
 farmer undertakes to bring his spring water to his house to supply his family, his 
 stock, and his chums and threshers, he is dealing with many problems in one — and 
 that is a housekeeping problem. This is just what Commissioner Chadwick calls 
 the problem of the Catskill Aqueduct: it is a problem of 'municipal housekeeping.* 
 It is important that the people of New York Qty should watch it and guard it from 
 political spoilers." 
 
 "Democracy," of New York, October 8, J9I0, in an article on Chadwick, and 
 speaking of the camp schools and the human side of the work, for the support of 
 which he obtained special subscriptions by addresses at Lake Mohonk and other 
 places, said: 
 
 "Those who look upon the Board of Water Supply as a ht^e machine meant 
 solely for the construction of the greatest aqueduct in the world will be surprised to 
 learn that, unlike corporations, this public body has a heart and soul, and that it 
 looks upon its workers as human beings. This may sound strange, in so material- 
 istic an age, but it is nevertheless true, for Commissioner Chadwick of the board has 
 put into active being a number of rules and regulations, and has established certain 
 special departments for the well-being and the welfare of the men employed on the 
 work, and their families as well." . . . 
 
 In these camp schools "it is intended to teach these workingmen good English, 
 and to give them a general idea of the laws and institutions of the United States, a 
 knowledge of the federal, state, and municipal government, the rights of persons and 
 property. The root of the immigration problem is reached by pointing out to these 
 men the adv2intage of becoming good, law-abiding citizens, and incidentally the city 
 of New York will get every dollar's worth of work that it is entitled to. The city's 
 work is done under an eight-hour law, and it is believed that if a man's mind is 
 properly employed during his hours of recreation he will pay closer attention to his 
 work and be more likely to put in eight hours of real work in working hours — 
 practically one hundred per cent of efficiency in an eight-hour day. Also that 
 
 30 
 
through the medium of a common language the misunderstandings between the 
 employer and employee will be done away." 
 
 "According to Mr. Chadwick the human side of the work must be considered 
 — not alone the bringing of water to the city of New York under a business admin- 
 istration that is clean and effective and under the best engineering methods, but the 
 training of men into good citizenship, under a wise and friendly administration 
 which sees their point of view and does its best to help the men to help themselves." 
 The work of the Board of Water Supply is to bring 500,000,000 gallons of 
 water daily from the Catskill Mountains into the city of the Greater New York, at 
 an estimated cost of $161,857,000. 
 
 Of Chadwick^s literary work mention may be made of his article on "Labor 
 and Capital," in the "Bankers' Magazine," April, t904; a Report on Water, Brook- 
 lyn, March 15, t897j an address on the Water Supply of Greater New York, 
 February 4, J902j an address on "The Business Aspect of the Catskill Water 
 Development," before the Chamber of Commerce of New York, April J, 1909, and 
 an article in the "Burr-Mclntosh Monthly," January, J9J0, "The Call of the City." 
 In 1897 he received the honorary degree of M.A. from Yale University. 
 He is a member of the Sons of the Revolution, of the Society of Colonial Wars, 
 of the Yale Alumni Association of Long Island, of the Chamber of Commerce of New 
 York, and of the Qty Qub of New Yorkj is a charter member of the University 
 Qub of Brooklyn, and was its president 1908 to J 9 JO. 
 
 Chadwick was married, June 25, 1873, to Miss Alice A. Caruth, who was 
 graduated from Packer Listitute in I864j bom in Coalisland, County Tyrone, Ire- 
 land; a descendant through her grandmother, Alice Tracy, of the Tracy family, and 
 through her mother of the O'Neils, of Ulster.

JOHN S. CHANDLER 
 1870 and 1907 
 
JOHN SCUDDER CHANDLER 
 
 ^HANDLER. Born in Madura, South India, April 12, J 849. Son of 
 John Eddy and Charlotte (Hopkins) Chandler, His father was for many 
 years a devoted missionary of the American Board in the same field 
 where our classmate is located* 
 The founder of the Chandler family in America was William Chandler, who 
 migrated to Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1637. His wife's name was Annis. Her 
 surname was probably Alcock. In 1665 his fourth child, John Chandler, married 
 Elizabeth Dot^las, daughter of a "townsman" of New London. In 1686 they 
 moved from Roxbury to New Roxbury, the present town of Woodstock, Connecti- 
 cut, and the line has continued there unbroken to this day. 
 
 On the maternal side our classmate's grandfather was M. W. Hopkins, bom 
 in J 789, and his grandmother was Almina Adkins, bom in J 790. 
 
 ^ <# ^; 
 
 John Scudder Chandler was prepared for college at the Hopkins Grammar 
 School, New Haven. He entered Yale with the Class, and was a member of 
 Brothers, Gamma Nu, and Psi Upsilon. He received the Runk Scholarship the third 
 term. Freshman year; took the Second Sophomore Mathematical Prize, and gradu- 
 ated with a Philosophical Oration stand. In 1873 his Alma Mater gave him the 
 degree of A.M. 
 
 The autumn after graduation found him in the Theological Seminary at New 
 Haven, where he was as industrious and faithful as during his college course, adding 
 to the duties of the seminary various forms of work, including the care of churches 
 in Maine and Connecticut during vacations. He graduated in 1873 with the degree 
 of BJD. In the faK of that year he sailed for India, to which land he has devoted 
 his life, a busy and useful one. He has shown gifts of varied character and has 
 consequently been put in charge of many forms of work. His severe labors, espe- 
 cially throt^h two years of famine, have at times tried his health, but for the greater 
 part of the time he has been able to push the work of his mission field. In the 
 summer of 1896 he broke down in health and passed the autumn and winter at 
 Newton Centre, Massachusetts, both for the sake of rest and for establishing his 
 children in school at Aubumdale, Massachusetts. During that time he made many 
 addresses in the interest of missions. 
 
 In November, 1897, he sailed for India and spent Christmas in Bombay with 
 his brother-in-law, Edward Hume. In January of 1898 he resumed his work in 
 India as general missionary in charge of a district containing a population of 150,000 
 people. At different times he has been a member of the Municipal Council, Madura 
 Town, also a member of the District Board of Madura District. 
 
 33 
 
In 1906 he took his third furlough, when he returned to the United States, visited 
 his many friends, among them a number of his coII^e classmates, and made many 
 addresses in behalf of the work of foreign missions. 
 
 For nineteen years he has been treasurer of the mission and is at present its 
 secretary, positions which require a vast amount of labor, as is shown by the 
 elaborate reports which have come to his friends in this country. 
 
 Besides writing for some of the leading religious papers of the United States 
 and India, he has contributed to the ^Scientific American" and ''Gdcutta Review," 
 and written the foflowtng books: "Pastor's Manual" (Tamil) j "Tamil Lyric 
 Books," lai^e and small; "Hymn Books in Tamil," "Scripture Text-book," and 
 an illustrated book of seventy-two pages, entitled, "History of the Jesuit Mission 
 in Madura, South India, in ^e Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries." 
 
 Chandler was married. May 31, 1873, to Miss Jane E., daughter of Eastman 
 
 5. and Judith M. (Taylor) Minor, of New Haven, Connecticut. She died at 
 Aubumdale, Massachusetts, April 3, 1886. 
 
 He married, July )7, 1887, Henrietta Shelton Rendall, at Lincoln University, 
 Pennsylvania, daughter of Rev. John and Jane (Ballard) Rendall, formerly mis- 
 sionaries in South India.

*CHARLES HOSMER CHAPIN 
 
 5HAPIN, Bom in Champlain, New York, June 27, 1848. Died No- 
 vember 5, J87I. Son of Qiarles and Lovisa Hamilton (Corbin) Chapin. 
 The Chapins are of French origin. At the close of the sixteenth century 
 Samuel Oiapin took his family and with other Huguenots fled to Holland 
 and embarked with the Puritans for New England. One of the ancestors, Justus 
 Chapin, served in G)loneI Baldwin's regiment of New Hampshire that was raised 
 for tihe purpose of reenforcing the army in New York, and was in the Battle of 
 White Plains. 
 
 Qiarles Hosmer Chapin came to us from Whitehall, New York, with Bascom 
 and Martin — a fine trio of feflows, all of whom have passed into the hereafter. 
 He entered Freshman year and graduated with the Class. He was a member of 
 Linonia and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 After graduation he accepted a position as teacher in the public schools of 
 Natchez, Mississippi. On Sunday morning, November 5, J87I, he died of yellow 
 fever, from which the city was undergoing a siege. He had had what his physician 
 supposed to be an attack of the same disease, and was therefore advised by him not 
 to leave the city after Chapin had planned to do so. 
 
 His death was a crushing blow to his parents, a brother and sister, his fine 
 qualities having endeared him to them to an even exceptionable degree. 
 
 He was highly respected by the Class for his sunny disposition and generally 
 excellent characteristics.

EDWARD CHAPIN 
 
 gHAPIN. Bom in York, Pennsylvania, September 5, J 848. Son of 
 Edward (Yale, J8t9) and Sarah A. (McGrath) Chapin. On his father's 
 side he is descended from Deacon Samuel Chapin, who mig;rated from 
 England to Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1636 and in 1642 became one of 
 the founders of Springfield, in the same state. 
 
 Rev. Calvin Chapin (Yale, 1788), for forty-seven years pastor of the historic 
 church in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, and one who served in the Revolutionary War, 
 was his grandfather. Through this Calvin Chapin's marriage, February 2, J 795, 
 to Jerusha Edwards, daughter of Rev. Jonathan and Mary (Porter) Edwards, our 
 classmate traces his descent from two college presidents, viz.: Rev. Jonathan 
 Edwards (Yale, J 720), president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton 
 University), and his son, Jonathan Edwards (Yale, J 769, who married Mary 
 Porter), president of Union College, Schenectady, New York. Throi^h various 
 intermarriages of the above named families Chapin also inherits rich blood from 
 other noted Connecticut and Massachusetts families, among whom may be named 
 the Porters, Pierponts, Tuthills, Hookers, Cooleys, Stebbins, Coltons, Spencers, and 
 Stoddards, all of whom have had numerous representatives in the old college at 
 New Haven. 
 
 Chapin's mother was a daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (%enfritz) McGrath* 
 She was married to Edward Chapin, the second child of Rev. Calvin Chapin, of 
 Rocky Hill, March 27, 1840.

 For thirty-five years he was a member, and for fifteen years the president, of 
 the York Qub. He resigned from this club and the Minqua Qub in 1907, when 
 he severed all connection with social organizations. 
 
 In May, 1911, he heroically bore an operation in Johns Hopkins Hospital 
 which left him with one less arm, but with undiminished courage for the future.

GEORGE CHASE 
 1870 and 19 1 J 
 
GEORGE CHASE 
 
 gHASE. Bom in Portland, Maine, December 29, J849. Son of David T. 
 and Martha E. (Haynes) Chase. His father was bom in Saco, Maine, 
 in 1802, and during his later years was a merchant in Portland* His 
 mother was bom in Middlebury, Vermont, in t8J3, and at the time of 
 her marriage resided in Whitehall, New York* The branch of the Chase family 
 in this country to which our classmate belongs is descended from Aquila Chase, 
 who emigrated from Chesham, England, to New Hampshire, in J 639, and was one 
 of the founders of Hampton, New Hampshire. He afterwards removed to New- 
 bury, Massachusetts. Some of his noted descendants are Dudley Chase, chief jus- 
 tice of Vermont, and also United States Senator from that state; Philander Chase, 
 founder of Kenyon College, Ohio, and first Episcopal bishop of Ohio and Illinois; 
 Samuel Portland Chase, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, Secretary 
 of the Treasury under Lincoln, etc. 
 
 On his father's side (maternal branch) Chase is also related to the Tappan 
 family, of which Arthur, Benjamin, and Lewis Tappan became distinguished by 
 their anti-slavery record in the days before the Civil War. 
 
 On his mother's side Chase traces descent from Mary Chilton, who was one of 
 the youngest passengers on the ** Mayflower" in J 620, and afterwards married John 
 Winslow, brother of Governor Edward Winslow of the Plymouth Colony. 
 
 George Chase was prepared for college at the public high school in Portland, 
 and entered Yale with the Qass. He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma 
 Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He is also a member of Wolf's 
 Head. He received honorable mention for compositions written during the first two 
 terms of Senior year. The same year he was awarded a Townsend Prize for 
 English Composition, took the Third Prize, in Brothers Senior Prize Debate, and 
 graduated with a Philosophical Oration and the Valedictory. 
 
 After graduation he became one of the principals of tiie University Grammar 
 School in New York Qty, where he taught in the Qassical Department for three 
 years. During the last two of these years he studied law in the Law School of 
 Columbia College, where he graduated in 1873 and received, besides his degree of 
 LL.B., the First Prize for excellence in municipal law. 
 
 In the winter of 1 873- J 874 he was appointed lecturer on torts in this school, which 
 position was followed by that of a full professorship of criminal law, torts, evidence, 
 pleading, and practice. In J 89 J, after nineteen years of service, he resigned his pro- 
 fessorship, which he had carried with distinguished success, and with two professors 
 
 39 
 
who had been associated with him obtained from the r^ents of the state a charter for 
 the New York Law School, which opened in the fall of that year with Qiase as its 
 dean — a position which he has since held* The special purpose and reason for 
 organizing this new school "was to continue and perpetuate the special method of 
 legal instruction which Dr, Dwight had maintained for over thirty years, and which 
 was distinctively termed the Dwight Method,'* a departure from which, by innova- 
 tions made in the Columbia School, had led to the resignation of Dr. Dwight. The 
 new school at once leaped into favor, and has since been one of the most popular, as 
 it has also been one of the highest graded institutions of the kind in this country. 
 A number of the "Intercoll^iate Law Journal** thus speaks of Chase: "Dean Chase 
 is the guiding spirit of the school. Under his direction affairs have a businesslike 
 air which evinces prosperity and is likewise the best training a young man can have. 
 Not too old to be out of sympathy with his students, Mr. Chase has all the experience 
 that years of study and practical application can give. Dr. Dwight commended him 
 in the highest terms as assistant and friend.'* 
 
 Besides contributing many legal articles to "Johnson's Encyclopaedia,** he has 
 published the following books: Chase's "American Student's Blackstone," Chase's 
 "Cases on Torts," Chase's "Stephens' Digest of the Law of Evidence," Chase's 
 "New York Code of Trial Procedure." 
 
 He is a member of the following clubs and societies: University Club, New 
 York J Yale Club, New York? Yale Alumni Association, New York? American 
 Bar Association; Bar Association of New York State; Bar Association of New 
 York City; American Academy of Political and Social Science; New York 
 Academy of Political Science; American Social Science Association; American 
 Geographical Society; New York State Historical Association. 
 
 He was married, November 25, J 884, to Miss Eva R., daughter of George T. 
 Hawley, a merchant of Boston. 
 
 His office address is New York Law School, 174 Fulton Street, New York 
 Qty; his home address, 309 West Seventy-fourth Street, New York Qty.

DELAMER EDWARD CLAPP 
 
 JLAPP. Bom at Ira, Cayuga County, New York, November 9, J 849. 
 Son of Emerous Donaldson and Sarah (Van Patten) Clapp. 
 
 His father was the eldest son of Othniel Palmer and Lucy (Tflden) 
 Clapp. The former was of the seventh generation in descent from 
 Roger Qapp, founder of the family in this country, who was bom in Salcomb 
 Regis, on the coast of Devonshire, England, in J589, and sailed in the **Mary and 
 John" from Plymouth and settled at Dorchester, Massachusetts, in J630. He was 
 captain of the *' Castle," of Boston. President Clapp of Yale was one of his de- 
 scendants. Lucy Tilden, wife of Othniel Clapp, was of the sixth generation in 
 descent from Nathaniel Tilden, who emigrated from Tenderten, Kent, England, 
 to Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1634, sailing in the "Hercules," of Sandwich. He 
 traces his descent from Sir Richard Tylden, who accompanied Richard the Lion 
 Hearted to the Crusades in J 190. His brother Joseph was one of the London mer- 
 chants who fitted out the "Mayflower." Governor Samuel J. Tilden, of New 
 York, was of the fifth generation in descent from Nathaniel Tflden. 
 
 Sarah Van Patten, mother of Delamer Edward Clapp, was the daughter of 
 Nicholas and Sarah Van Patten, who were of Dutch descent. They emigrated 
 from Holland and settled in the Mohawk Valley. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Delamer Edward Clapp prepared for college at the Auburn (New York) 
 Academy and Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, and entered with the 
 Class. He was a member of Linonia and Delta Kappa. After graduating at Yale 
 he was night editor of the "Hartford Courant" for three years, after which he spent 
 a year in Europe in travel and study and as a newspaper correspondent at the 
 Vienna Exposition in J 873. He spent several months in study in Hanover. Here 
 he came upon traces of his classmate Allis, who while there the preceding year 
 lived in the same house. Allis had impressed the landlady with an extraordinary 
 opinion of his preeminence as a hospitable entertainer and an energetic and enthusi- 
 astic American. After another year at Hartford, on the "Courant," he removed 
 to Auburn, New York, in 1875, where his life work has been as a manufacturer 
 of carriage forgings. After thirty-five years of arduous and continuous service in 
 developing a successful business, he now proposes to relax somewhat in his efforts 
 and leave more of the work and responsibility to the younger generation. He has 
 been for many years president and general manager of the E. D. Clapp Manufac- 
 turing Company, a corporation founded by his father in 1864. He has always been 
 thoroughly interested in local and national politics, but has declined all appointments 
 
 4t 
 
and nominations except one as school commissioner from J 877 to I880« He has 
 enjoyed perfect health from boyhood, and while hard work has been the rule he 
 has had his share of travel and recreation. Golf is his favorite game, and nearly 
 every pleasant afternoon in the summer he may be found on the links of the Owasco 
 Qjuntry Club, which faces one of the most beautiful of the chain of Central New 
 York lakes. 
 
 He was married (I)» December 28, J 876, to Miss Florence E. Ely, daughter of 
 Samuel E. Ely, a merchant of Lyme, Connecticut. She died November 28, J889, 
 at Auburn, New York. He married (2) Mrs. Adatine M. Watson, daughter of 
 Morris M. Olmsted, of Auburn, on March I, J 899.

EDWARD P. CLARK 
 J870 and J896 
 
* EDWARD PERKINS CLARK 
 
 |LARK. Bom in Huntingfton, Massachusetts, October 2 J, 1 847* Died 
 February 16, 1903. Son of Rev. Perkins Kirkland (Yale, 1838) and 
 Hannah Smith (Avery) dark. His father, who was bom in J8II and 
 married in 1845, was a descendant of William Clark, who sailed from 
 England in 1630 and settled eventually in Northampton, Massachusetts. William 
 dark's son John married Mary Strong in J 679. Their son Josiah, bom in 1697, 
 was the grandfather of Enoch, bom in J 777, who married Abigail Kirkland in J 80 J. 
 Their son was our classmate's father. 
 
 Hannah Smith Avery came from the famous Groton Averys. Her grandfather 
 Smith sat in the first Continental Congress, and another progenitor of our classmate 
 was also a member of that body. Throt^h another line of ancestry he was con- 
 nected with the Williams family, which contributed so many ministers, martyrs, 
 and heroes to the building of New England* 
 
 Edward Perkins Clark was graduated from the Deerfield High School in 1865 
 and from Phillips Academy, Andover, in t866, with the highest honors in each 
 case. He entered Yale with the Class and was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, 
 Phi Theta Psi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. His honors were as follows: Second 
 term. Sophomore year. Second Prize in Composition; third term. Sophomore year. 
 First Prize in Composition; Second Prize, Brothers Sophomore Prize Debate; 
 Second Prize, Brothers Senior Prize Debate; editor of ''Yale Literary Magazine," 
 and CoUoquy stand at graduation. 
 
 The outline of "Pater" Clark's career after graduation may be sketched as 
 follows. For about e^ht years he was connected with the "Springfield Repub- 
 lican," of which he became the managing editor after three years of phenomenal 
 success. In 1879 he removed with his family to Philadelphia, where he took a 
 position on the "Times"; but not finding tiie executive work required of him 
 agreeable, he soon went to Washington as correspondent for the "Springfield Re- 
 publican" and "Philadelphia Press." He remained at the Capitol Qty about two 
 years, where he acquired that intimate knowledge of public affairs which was to 
 serve him so well in his future career as a writer on public questions. Accepting 
 for family reasons, in May, I88J, an offer of a position on the "Milwaukee Sentinel," 
 he remained there a few months; but having a laudable ambition to serve in metro- 
 politan journalism he accepted, in 1882, the position of assistant editor on the staff 
 of the "New York World." Later, but only for a short period, he was connected 
 with "Leslie's Weekly," and then, from 1883 to 1885, was on the staff of the 
 
 43 
 
*'Brcx)klyn Union," On April 6, t885, he entered upon the duties of an editorial 
 writer on the staff of the *'New York Evening Post/' where he remained durii^ the 
 rest of his life, and where he made a great name for himself as an accomplished 
 joumaKst, an able advocate of just methods in government, and an unflinchir^ 
 opponent of every form of unrighteousness, whether it appeared in urban, state, or 
 national affairs. 
 
 Never strong, and in no wise disposed to husband his strength when profes- 
 sional work was urgent, or when an opportunity presented itself to help a good cause 
 or a needy brother man, he exhausted his small reserve of vitality beyond his power 
 of recuperation, so that when, in the fall of J90J, a change came over him, and he 
 still persisted in working with his accustomed energy, he was unable to throw off 
 the disease which had been lurking in his system. Brief intervals of rest followed 
 during the spring and summer of J902, but they came too late. The autumn found 
 him prostrated, and the remaining months, until his death, February 16, 1903, wit- 
 nessed that gradual weakening of the vital forces which usually attends the progress 
 of consumption. 
 
 The editor of this Record, who was on terms of intimate association with Qark 
 during the last two years of college life, could say much about him in the way of 
 eulogy, for he was a rare spirit — gentle, affectionate, serious in his aims, yet appre- 
 ciative of the bright side of life, loyal and pure; but it is best that others should be 
 called upon to give their testimony who came in close contact with him after he had 
 entered upon his life work. Better than all other tributes that have been paid to his 
 memory is that of his devoted wife, in her beautiful memorial volume entitled, **A 
 Soldier of Conscience." But it is well not to mar that tender tribute by fragmentary 
 quotation; and there is no need to do so, since a copy of it may be obtained by every 
 member of the Class who is not already in possession of it. Of him and his work 
 the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle" said: **His contributions to journalism were equal in 
 volume to those of any editor in his period of labor. The effect of them in notable 
 instances was not only controlling, but the quality of that effect made for good gov- 
 ernment, righteous living, and high aims in politics, in religion, in benevolences, and 
 in social and personal life. There never was a more faithful man; there never was 
 a man of more sincerity. We never knew a mem of more industry or of greater 
 willingness to inspire and help other newspaper men in their work. We never 
 knew a more modest, self-effacing, and earnest man. We never knew one who 
 more beautifully separated the things worth having from the things which were not. 
 His profession was the translation of conscience into comment. His life was the 
 translation of love into labor and sacrifice for those whom God had given him, and 
 to those in the circle of privileged and high friendship." The "Brooklyn Standard 
 Union" thus speaks of him: "Never in American journalism has the dignity, the 
 serious mission of the profession, been better upheld and its finest examples and 
 
 44 
 
traditions better illustrated, and therefore it is that not only the profession which he 
 honored, but the whole country which he served, suffers loss well-nigh irreparable* 
 All this, moreover, it should be said, was done with a sincere self-abnegation, a 
 minimizing of the personality, which, altogether too rare in these later days, is the 
 more effective by its contrast and by its modest and faithful persistence." "The 
 Evening Post" referred to him as follows: "His pen was, indeed, a tireless one; and 
 besides writing frequently for the leading magazines, he conducted an extensive 
 correspondence with prominent men in all parts of the country. This helped to 
 give him his singularly close and understanding touch with public affairs. 
 
 "How stanch his friendship was, all his sorrowing associates can testify. His 
 incessant labors for the 'Evening Post,' and his whole-hearted and unswerving 
 loyalty to its interests and to the ideals for which it stands, is a grateful duty to put 
 on record. Even in his last moments, when consciousness was growing confused, 
 his thot^ht and speech were of his newspaper work. Indeed, there is reason to 
 fear that his devotion outran his strength, and that he clung to his post of duty long 
 after his health was impaired, refusing to seek that rest and recuperation which 
 his case really demanded. This fidelity, at all hazards, to what he conceived to be 
 a trust was characteristic of Mr. Clark, but is rarely to be encountered. His pos- 
 session of such high qualities will cause his memory to be cherished long in this 
 office, where his death leaves a vacancy, in the peculiar lines of his fruitful activity, 
 which it will be impossible fully to make good." 
 
 It is commonly acknowledged that his editorials in the "Post" against the 
 passage of the Blair Bill, which Clark called "A Bill to Promote Mendicancy," de- 
 feated that measure in Congress. That his pen put an end to other shameful 
 measures and furthered many righteous projects we have strong reasons for believ- 
 ing. The pity of it is that we have no volume from his pen to preserve for us his 
 effective thot^hts, and to reveal more fully that personality which so endeared itself 
 to his classmates. 
 
 He was married, January t, 1874, to Miss Katherine Pickens Upson, of Mil- 
 waukee, Wisconsin, then a teacher in the Central High School of Qeveland, Ohio, 
 who is a well-known author.

 Charles Upson was valedictorian of his class (1893) in his preparatory school 
 (the Brooklyn Polytechnic), and also of his class at Yale, J 897. He was in two 
 famous Intercollegiate Debates: the first one that Yale ever won (at Princeton, 1896), 
 and the only one ever won from Harvard on her own ground (1897). He was 
 
 45 
 
voted by his classmates the one among; them who had done the most for Yale. 
 In 1903 he received the degree of PhD. from Yale. In 1900 he was granted a sub- 
 vention from the Berlin Academy to aid in the preparation of an edition of the Latin 
 historian, Ammianus Marcellinus. One volume of this work is already out and 
 has received hig:h praise as a scholarly and authoritative edition. The second 
 volume will be ready soon. "This work," says a critic, "has established its author's 
 position as one of the foremost Latin scholars in America, especially in transitional, 
 mediaeval Latin." 
 
 He was first a tutor at Yale, and has now been for four years assistant pro- 
 fessor of Latin there. He was married at Rome, Italy, September 7, J900, to 
 Miss Anne White, dat^hter of Hubert Hervey Frary, of Northfield, Massachusetts. 
 They have one daughter, Elizabeth White Clark, who was bom in Munich, 
 Bavaria, June 12, J90J. A second daughter, bom at New Haven, May 18, 1905, 
 died on November 25, J 909. 
 
 John Kirkland Qark graduated from Yale in 1899 with a Philosophical stand, 
 after having taken part in five Intercollegiate Debates and been voted by his class- 
 mates the one among them who had done the most for Yale. He was graduated, 
 cum laude, from the Harvard Law School in 1902. He is now a deputy district 
 attorney of New York G}unty and is a trustee of the North Presbyterian Church 
 on Washington Heights. He was married, June 15, }903, to Miss Margaret 
 Chalmers, a daughter of Justice William C Holbrook of the Court of Special Ses- 
 sions, New York. He has three children: Anna Holbrook, bom April 19, 1904; 
 John Kirkland, Jr., bom April t2, 1906; and Marion Holbrook, bom October 7, 
 J909. 
 
 George Maxwell graduated from Yale in the Class of 1901, and entered shorUy 
 afterward the employ of die Macey Company, 343 Broadway, New York, where 
 he underwent a ra^d series of promotions until he became the manager of the New 
 York office of this Grand Rapids (Michigan) Company. After occupying this poi^- 
 tion for four years, he, with the assistant manager, E^ar M. Gibby (Princeton, 
 1900), withdrew from the Macey Company and formed a partnership for the sale 
 of desks and office furniture, under the firm name of Clark and Gibby (bic). They 
 are established at 82 Fulton Street, Manhattan, with a branch store at 289 Fourth 
 Avenue. He is also die president of the Knickerbocker Desk Company, at 164 
 William Street He was married, September 8, J908, to Miss Louise Cory, dat^hter 
 of Daniel F. Treacy, of New York, president of the Davenport and Treacy Piano 
 Company.

* HENRY AUGUSTUS CLEVELAND

 April 22, 1873. 
 
 <♦ ,♦ ^ 
 
 He was fitted for coU^e at the Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, and 
 entered with the Qass. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Xi, 
 and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He was the Wooden Spoon Man, was one of our best 
 baseball players, and rowed the bow oar in the Freshman race on Lake Quinsiga- 
 mond in 1867, when the Seventy crew defeated Harvard. 
 
 Seventy's Decennial Record gives the following account of **Gus" Qeveland's 
 career after graduation: "He sailed for Europe, intending to remain there for a year, 
 traveling and studying. Here, however, he was made aware that he was suffer- 
 ing from consumption, and that there was little or no hope of his recovery. With 
 this crushing knowle^e dragging him down, he lived for two more years, battling 
 against disease, traveling, resting, and consulting all the leading physicians. The 
 end came April 22, 1873." Of the last months of his life his mother wrote: "All the 
 winter months he drove out in br^ht days, carved in wood within doors, studied 
 German, read, and enjoyed the society of friends as nearly as possible as when in 
 health. He seldom made any allusions to his health, or asked any consideration 
 for his weakness; never complained, but quietly acquiesced in the allotments of his 
 life as wise and right April 2J was a day of more than usual enjoyment. In con- 
 versation with a near relative, he spoke of his improved condition, dwelt upon the 
 satisfactions of the past winter and his plans for the coming summer, and after an 
 evening spent in the parlor, as usual, walked upstairs to his own room and was 
 soon asleep. An hour and a half later he was awakened by distress in breathit^, 
 and by daylight the symptoms of a fatal effusion of the lungs were unmistakable. 
 He calmly observed and recognized the signs of his dying state, and with a quiet 
 self-control waited through the hours till noon, when he was gone.** 
 
 This account of the last days of "Gus" falls in with our impressions of the 
 man as we knew him in college* Deservedly popular, by reason of his cleanness 
 of life, manliness, and sunny disposition, he endeared himself to his classmates to 
 an unusual degree; so that when it came to choosing the most popular man for re- 
 ceiving the coveted prize of the wooden spoon, the Qass naturally cast its vote for 
 him. He was worthy of the honor, for he had never sunk his independence in any 
 effort that he had made to gain it.

bilious fever, and died July 2, J 87 1. Thus early in his course was one of Seventy's 
 most respected men removed from a sphere where he gave promise of makingf his 
 mark* He was one of the most faithful and painstaking men in the Class* Dur- 
 ing his three years with us he missed no recitation and was never absent from a 
 religious service in the old chapel* He was highly esteemed by all his classmates, 
 who would have singled him out among the last as one who was destined to be 
 among the first to leave us; for he was the picture of health and the embodiment of 
 strength, as was shown by his efforts on the University crew*

NATHAN BROWN COY 
 
 ^OY. Bom August 30, J 847, at Ithaca, New York. Son of Edward 
 Gustin and Elizabeth (Brown) G)y. His father, a master mechanic 
 and metal founder, was bom at Hinsdale, New Hampshire, April 8, 1821* 
 His mother, a resident of Ithaca before her marriage, was bom at Eliza- 
 beth, New Jersey, August 26, I8I94 
 
 Through his father's mother, Betsey Howe (1 779- J 853), wife of John Coy 
 ( 1 778- 1 833, Hinsdale, New Hampshire), Coy is descended from John How (or 
 Howe), who perhaps first resided at Watertown, was admitted a freeman of Sud- 
 bury on May J 3, J 640, and in 1642 was marshal and one of the town's selectmen. 
 In May, J 656, he was one of the petitioners for the grant which constituted Marl- 
 borough, and moved to that place in t657, building for himself a cabin **a. little to 
 the east of the Indian Planting Field," where his descendants lived for many gener- 
 ations. John How was a leading citizen of the place, and died there May 28, J 687, 
 his will being approved in 1689. He was the son of John How, Esq., who is 
 supposed to have lived in Hodinhull, Warwickshire, England, and was connected 
 with the family of Lord Charles How, Earl of Lancaster, during the reign of 
 Charles I. 
 
 Through the marriage of Betsey Howe's great-grandfather, Nehemiah How 
 (I693-I747), to Margaret Willard, daughter of Captain Benjamin Willard, Coy 
 also traces descent from Major General Simon Willard, who had command of the 
 First Military Company of Concord, J 63 7. 
 
 Nathan Brown Coy was fitted for college at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, 
 Massachusetts, being graduated after two years of study at the head of his class, 
 in 1865. For reasons of health and economy he spent the following year at his 
 home in Sandusky, Ohio, having previously passed his college examinations for the 
 Class of 1869. He entered Seventy with the Class, and was a member of Linonia, 
 Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He won the Third Prize in Linonia 
 Freshman Prize Debate. In J 873 he received the degree of A.M. 
 
 A brother of Coy, Edward Gustin Coy, Jr., was graduated with the Class of 
 J 869, and two nephews, Sherman Lockwood Coy and Edward Harris Coy, were 
 graduated with the Classes of 1 90 1 and J9I0, respectively. 
 
 For five years after graduation he was engaged in teaching: J87&-J87J, at 
 Prevost French Institute, Fort Washington-on-the-Hudsonj J87J-J873, Hasbrouck's 
 Institute, Jersey Qtyj J 873-1 874, Hamilton College, Hanover, Indiana? J 874-1 875, 
 Grammar School, New York Qty, and Betts Military Academy, Stamford, Con- 
 st 
 
necticut. In May, 1875, he was appointed by the trustees of Phillips (Andover) 
 Academy head of the department of Latin. Within a few weeks thereafter he was 
 taken with pulmonary hemorrhages while on a visit at his father's home in Ithaca, 
 the result of overwork* For four years Gjy had taught from eight to ten hours a 
 day the year around, without a vacation, to help his father, whose health had 
 broken under business reverses. The strain was too great. The break in his 
 lungs Dr. Austin Flint, of New York, pronounced **incipient, non-progressive tuber- 
 culosis,*' and advised a sea voyage. A trip to Bermuda was substituted, and the 
 months from January to May, J 876, inclusive, were spent on that delightful island 
 resort. It was, in fact, a honeymoon trip. The sojourn at Bermuda was beneficial 
 to a degree, but only superficially so, for on the anniversary of his first hemor- 
 rhages he was similarly attacked while on a visit at the home of his wife's father, 
 July, J 876. As soon as his condition would permit he started for Colorado and 
 reached the Rocky Mountains August 4, where under skillful treatment, embracing 
 an open-air life, most of the time in the saddle, he improved so rapidly that at the 
 end of a year he was ready to consider taking up serious work again. Advised 
 by his physician to adopt an outdoor life, in the spring of J 878 Coy purchased a 
 quarter-section of land from the trustees of the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company, 
 which he improved and cultivated assiduously for two years. But drought, grass- 
 hoppers, hail, and inexperience combined to make the experiment anything but a 
 financial success. Added to this came the announcement from Washington that 
 the railroad company had sold land which it was not entitled to, and as a result 
 Coy was compelled to pay the government a second purchase price for his farm. 
 To save his property, he was forced back to the city, to take up teaching again 
 after a respite of five years. Doing only private work the first year, the second 
 year he accepted an offer in the Denver High School, where he remained nearly 
 five years (I88I-J886), drilling boys and girls in college preparatory Latin and 
 Greek. Among his promising pupils of those years was the present rector of Grace 
 Episcopal Church, New York City, Dr. Charles Lewis Slattery, successor to the late 
 Dr. William R. Huntington. Coy got in some good work for Yale at that time. 
 When he entered upon his teaching in the high school there was just one Colorado 
 boy studying at Yale. Nine years later there were fifteen, and annually since there 
 have been all the way from twenty to thirty. 
 
 After five years in the schoolroom. Coy was again forced by failing health 
 to return to an open-air life. Going back to his farm, he remained there for nearly 
 five years (I886-J89I)' carrying on general fanning and stock raising, specialising 
 in Kght draft horses and Jersey dairy cattle. Li I89I, his health well restored, the 
 way was opened for his return to the city and professional life through the gener- 
 osity of the Democratic party in nominating a liberal Republican to an office on its 
 state ticket.

From this time on, G)y has led a fairly busy life, as the following resume of 
 his varied activities will in(£cate: 
 
 Superintendent of public instruction and ex officio state librarian, 1 89 1- J 893; 
 renominated by acclamation for a second term by the Cleveland wing of the Demo- 
 cratic party, but overwhelmingly defeated by the Populist wing of the party, he led 
 the ticket, however, as he had done in the former, successful, campaign; member 
 of the Colorado Board of World's Fair Managers by gubernatorial appointment, 
 and in charge of the state's educational exhibit, J 891-1893; editor of the Colorado 
 School Journal, 189I-I895, also its publisher and manager, J893-I895; resident 
 manager of his farm, J 895- J 897; associate professor of the Classical Languages 
 and Literatures, Colorado College, and principal of the Preparatory Department, 
 J897-J90J, inclusive; principal of the San Diego, California, high school, 1902- 
 J904. 
 
 Incidental to his professional life. Coy was honored by being president of the 
 Colorado Association of County School Superintendents, 1 89 J- J 892; president of 
 the Colorado Center of University Extension, J 892; president of the Colorado State 
 Teachers' Association, J 892; acting-president, J 898; member of the board of trus- 
 tees, Colorado State Normal School, ex officio, J89I-J893; by gubernatorial appoint- 
 ment, J 895- 1 90 1; charter member and president at the organization of the Colorado 
 Schoolmasters' Club, 1893; president of the Qassical Conference of High Schools, 
 Colleges, and Universities, Southern California, t902; member of the California 
 Schoolmasters' Qub, J903-J904. 
 
 Coy has published the Eighth Biennial Report of the Department of Public 
 Instruction, Colorado, for the years 189 J- J 892, a volume of 843 pages; also an 
 address on Child Labor and Education, delivered before the National Association 
 of State Labor Commissioners at Denver in J 893, and published with the proceed- 
 ings of the meeting. 
 
 Of the Biennial Report the "Journal of Education" (Boston) writes as follows: 
 *'It is the first comprehensive report issued by the state, and is one of the few great 
 reports issued by the educational department of any state, Mr. Coy's administra- 
 tion will ever be memorable in the history of the state, not only because of what it 
 was in itself, but because it has set the pace for all succeec&ig administrations, 
 making it both easy and indispensable to keep up to its standard. It is of the 
 utmost value historically. Mr. Coy has a fine literary taste, scholarly training, and 
 historical appreciation, all of which have contributed to one of the best pieces of local 
 educational history yet written." 
 
 Coy was a charter member of the Colorado Yale Association (t882), and its 
 president in 1885, after having served successively on executive committee and as 
 secretary. Although not a charter member of the University Club of Denver, he 
 was one of the first-year members (189 J )♦ 
 
 53 
 
He was a trustee of the First Congregational Church, Denver, J890-I895. 
 
 After three years in Southern California (I90J-I904), Coy returned to Colo- 
 rado, having found the Pacific coast hardly more desirable for permanent residence 
 than the Atlantic coast had proved in earlier years. Settling in Denver, he has 
 abated somewhat his wonted activity, declining offers of a professional character and 
 leading a rather desultory life; farming, directly or by proxy, doing a little insurance 
 business, but principally managing the Denver office of the Fisfc Teachers' Agencies, 
 home office in Boston. With the leisure which former years did not afford, he has 
 been drawn more into church and religious work. Since December, 1906, he has been 
 clerk of the First Congregational Church, and during a period of removal and re- 
 building (J906-I907) was chairman of a special finance committee. He is a mem- 
 ber of the Central Cooperating Committee for Northern Colorado of the Laymen's 
 Missionary Movement, one of a local Committee of One Hundred for the Men and 
 Religion Forward Movement planned for 1911-1912, and one of a board of five 
 trustees of the Colorado Association of Congregational churches. 
 
 Other organizations with which he has become identified in recent years are: 
 the National Geographic Society of Washington, District of Columbia; the Denver 
 Philosophical Society, the Colorado State Forestry Association, the Ohio Society of 
 Colorado, and the Mountain Association of Delta Kappa Epsilon. 
 
 In spite of vicissitudes of health and fortune. Coy has found life quite worth 
 while, and never sweeter nor more to be desired than today, at threescore and three, 
 after forty years out of college. Realizing, however, that one may live too long for 
 either usefulness or happiness, he hopes to be ready to answer the summons cheer- 
 ily, come when it may. McClintock he deems fortunate to have been called after a 
 brief illness, while his fine gifts were still in their prime and his powers of apprecia- 
 tion still keen and responsive — impoverishing thoi^h his going was to those left 
 behind, in the loss of a rare and rich companionship. 
 
 Coy was married, January 12, J 876, to Miss Helen Frances Parish, daughter 
 of Ariel Parish, Yale, 1835, and for many years superintendent of public schools in 
 New Haven, Connecticut. She is a direct descendant, in the eighth generation, of 
 Governor William Bradford, through her father's mother, Lydia Manning, wife 
 of Jeremiah Parish, of South Coventry, Connecticut; also, in the eighth generation 
 and through Lydia Manning, of Lieutenant Thomas Tracy, of Norwich, Con- 
 necticut, who came from England to Massachusetts in 1636.

NEVILLE B. CRAIG 
 J870 and J9J0 
 
NEVILLE BURGOYNE CRAIG 
 
 ^RAIG. Bom in Allegheny Gty, Pennsylvania, December J, J 847. Son 
 of Isaac and Rebecca (McKibbin) Craig* His immediate ancestors, 
 male and female, are to be found mainly among five families, all inti- 
 mately associated with the early history of this country: the Oldhams, 
 the Nevilles, the Craigs, the Fultons, and the McKibbins. Dr. William Henry 
 Egle, in his ''Pennsylvania Genealogies," has given such an extended notice of these 
 families and so clearly stated the relationship between them that it is only necessary 
 to say here that the subject of this sketch is a great-grandson of Major Isaac Craig, 
 who, though of Scotch descent, came to this country from Ireland in J765, served 
 throughout the Revolutionary War, in conjunction with Colonel Stephen Bayard 
 made the first purchase of land from the Penns within the present city of Pittsbui^, 
 and married Amelia, the only daughter of General John Neville. By this marriage 
 Major Isaac Craig became the brother-in-law of Colonel Presley Neville, who 
 served as aid-de-camp to the Marquis de Lafayette, and married Nancy, daughter 
 of General Daniel Morgan. 
 
 Our classmate came to Yale from the Western University of Pennsylvania, and 
 entered the Class Freshman year. He was connected with Linonia and Delta Kappa, 
 and took the third Sophomore and second Senior Mathematical prizes. 
 
 After graduation he studied law for a year, and then returned to New Haven 
 and began a special course in civil engineering at the Sheffield Scientific School, 
 where he was graduated in 1873. Two weeks before the termination of his course 
 at the Scientific School he was appointed aid to R. M. Bache, assistant on the United 
 States Coast and Geodetic Survey, then engaged upon topographic and hydrographic 
 surveys of New Haven harbor and vicinity. In that position he continued until 
 July, J 875, when he was appointed inspector of harbor improvements at New Haven 
 by Colonel John W. Barlow, Corps of Engineers, United States Army. In Decem- 
 ber, J 877, he was appointed chief draftsman on the ill-fated Collins expedition, which 
 had for its object the construction of the Madeira and Mamore Railway in Brazil. 
 Later he was promoted to assistant and acting principal assistant engineer on the 
 same railway. During 1879 and J 880 he was engaged upon surveys of the Dela- 
 ware River conducted by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, and was part of the time 
 assistant on the New York State Survey under James T. Gardner, director. In 
 January, 1 88 1, he was appointed assistant engineer on the Mexican National Rail- 
 way, and was subsequently promoted to resident engineer in charge of the construc- 
 tion of forty miles of that compan/s line between the cities of Morelia and Patz- 
 
 55 
 
cuaro. During 1882 he served some time as assistant engineer in charge of surveys 
 between Vera Cruz and Rinconada on the projected railway to the Qty of Mexico 
 via Jalapa. From 1882 to 1885 he was assistant engineer under the Mississippi 
 River Commission, serving under the immediate orders of Captains Knight and 
 Leach, of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army. Resigning that position, 
 he was, from September, J885, to May, J886, employed upon surveys for the city 
 of Philadelphia and private individuals. From the last mentioned date to August, 
 1887, he served successively as expert current observer on the hydrographic party 
 of H. L. Marindin, assistant United States Coast and Geodetic Survey j draftsman 
 in the Maintenance of Way Department of the Union Pacific Railway at Omaha; 
 assistant engineer in charge of surveys of Red River, Louisiana, under Captain 
 J. H. Willard, of the Corps of Engineers, United States Armyj assistant engineer 
 on the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway, and chief of corps on the Louisville 
 Southern Railway. From September, 1887, to March, J 888, Mr. Craig was em- 
 ployed by the Commonwealth Title Insurance and Trust Company of Philadelphia, 
 and from the latter date until 1890 was engaged upon surveys of the Delaware 
 water front for the city of Philadelphia. In November, J 890, he was appointed 
 chief engineer of the Antioquia Railway, in the Republic of Colombia, South 
 America, but after about one year was compelled to resign owing to the severity 
 of the climate. Later he accepted the position of principal assistant on surveys 
 under the Department of Public Works, Philadelphia, which he continued to hold 
 until J 899. in February, J 898, the "Engineering News" published a new and 
 original method of reducing stadia observations devised by Mr. Craig. For many 
 years past he has been in active sympathy with every attempt to defeat corrupt 
 government in his native state, and during the political upheaval of J 905 in Phila- 
 delphia he was a member of the Committee of Seventy. In 1907, at the request 
 of the Madeira and Mamore Association, composed of survivors of the Collins 
 expedition, Mr. Craig wrote and published its history under the title of "Recollec- 
 tions of an Hl-fated Expedition to the Headwaters of the Madeira River in Brazil," 
 and in recognition of the value of this work as a contribution to geographical liter- 
 ature the author was soon after elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society 
 of London. 
 
 Mr. Craig is a member of about fifteen different associations of a social, intel- 
 lectual, patriotic, or semi-political character, including the Society of the Cincinnati, 
 the Sons of the Revolution, the Madeira and Mamore Association, the American 
 Academy of Political and Social Science, the Pennsylvania Historical Society, and 
 the National Geographical Society. 
 
 Craig was married at Albany, New York, January I, J 880, to Margaret E., 
 daughter of Daniel and Margaret (Coffee) Sullivan, who died January 19, 19 10.

Their children are: 
 
 Margarita, b. at Fort Plain, New York, November 25, 1880 
 
 Winifred Neville, b. at St* Louis, Missouri, September 23, J882 
 
 Edith Oldham, b. at Fulton, Tennessee, July 22, J884 
 
 Rebecca Eleanor, b, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 23, J 888 
 
 d. at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, August 2, J 898 
 
 Lilian, b, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 2, J 889 
 
 d« at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 4, J 889 
 
 On May 2, 1911, Mr. Craig was married a second time to Miss Gertrude Agnes 
 Byers, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Graig is the only daughter of Ellwood Byers and 
 Agnes Virginia Dickson, both deceased, and comes of a family noted for the number 
 of prominent railroad engineers it has produced. Her father, like nearly all her male 
 relatives, early in life displayed a remarkable taste for railroad work, in which he 
 subsequently achieved marked success. During the Qvil War he served in Com- 
 pany K, Second Virginia Cavalry, C. S. A., generally known as the Albemarle Light 
 Horse, and for many years was assistant real estate agent of the Philadelphia and 
 Reading Railroad.

*ARTHUR POWER CRANE 
 
 iiRANE. Bom in Lenawee County, near Adrian, Michigan, July 7, J 846. 
 Died April 28, \9iU Only child of Calvin, J8J6-J90J, and Deborah 
 (Power) Crane, J820-J880. 
 
 His father, Calvin, bom in the state of New York, was the youngest 
 son of George, I783-J856, and Charity (Lincoln) Crane, J782-I863, bom at 
 Taunton, Massachusetts. In J 805 they left Taunton by team and a mover's wagon, 
 such as were then used, taking such things as they could, and drove across the coun- 
 try, accepting the accommodations for shelter and rest found at that time aloi^ their 
 way. They journeyed on day by day until they came to the ** Genesee Country," as 
 it was then commonly known, or that part of it next east of Rochester, New York. 
 Here they reached the destination they had sought; they began the days of their first 
 pioneer IHe, established a home, and raised a family of six children. 
 
 In J 833, in company with a few neighboring families, giving up their homes, 
 they set out for a second pioneer life in the territory of Michigan, and settled in 
 Lenawee County. Here, under the privations and obstacles met with in an unsub- 
 dued wilderness of woods, they secured a new home and their last abiding place, but 
 largely increased their land holdings by direct entry from the General Government 
 for the benefit of their children. 
 
 George Crane was a descendant of Henry Crane, 1 62 J- J 709, who had lived at 
 Braintree, Dorchester, and Milton, Massachusetts. 
 
 Charity (Lincoln) Crane was a descendant of Peregrine White, who was bom 
 on board of the "Mayflower," at anchor in Cape Cod harbor, in J 620. 
 
 Deborah (Power) Crane, the daughter of Arthur Power, J77J-I836, was bom 
 in the "Genesee Country," New York. 
 
 Her father, Arthur, a son of John Power, who came from England and settled 
 at Providence, Rhode Island, was bom at Providence. Attaining manhood he 
 sought the adventures of a pioneer life and went to the "Genesee Country," where 
 he raised a large family. About J 827 he left the "Genesee Country," and settled 
 with his family in Oakland County, territory of Michigan. His was the first white 
 family to enter into the settlement of the friendly Indians then occupying that locality.

 Arthur Power Crane prepared for college at the high school in Detroit, Mich- 
 igan, and entered Yale in J 866, graduating with the Class of Seventy, with a Col- 
 loquy honor. He was a member of Linonia and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 After graduation he began the study of law at the Columbia College Law School 
 in New York Gty, graduating with an LL.B. honor in 1872, and was admitted to the

bar of the state of New York. During his stay in New York he passed part of his 
 time in a law office at 33 Nassau Street* Among his office experiences he relates his 
 serving certain legal papers on "Boss** Tweed, in his inner sanctuary, when he was 
 on the decline of his far-reaching powers, and tells of his meeting with a man reel- 
 ing and stammering from an overload of liquor, who was expatiating on the ability 
 and power of "his" minister, and how like a good man he sat at the feet of his 
 Gamaliel, the greatest preacher of this day. When asked the name of his minister, 
 he answered in disconnected syllables, "William G. Sumner, sir.** (Well known to 
 the Class of Seventy.) 
 
 In the summer of J 872 Crane went abroad, passing two years in study, attend- 
 ing lectures at Heidelberg on the Roman Code of Qvil Law and Continental history, 
 and during vacations visiting various cities in Europe and England. 
 
 Returning home in 1874, early in J 875 he entered a law office at Toledo, Ohio, 
 and upon the practice of his profession. This was confined for the most part to 
 office work, in preference to the conduct and argument of cases before the courts. 
 
 He did not hold or seek political or public office. 
 
 Its river and broad harbor places Toledo in direct communication with the 
 waters of Lake Erie. This opens up a field for commerce, yachting, and boating 
 the equal of which, for safety and easy access, but few inland or coast cities possess. 
 In college days joining in rowing and yachting in New Haven harbor, in after col- 
 lege days Crane found recreation in aquatic sports and became active in yachting 
 interests at this inland city, being an officer of the local yacht club. 
 
 As a member of the Masonic Order he filled many offices in its various bodies, 
 and that of Grand Master of the Grand Council of the State of Ohio, and a life 
 member of the General Grand Council of the United States. In 1889 he received 
 a commission from the United Grand Lodge of England as its representative near the 
 Grand Lodge of Ohio. 
 
 He was a member of a committee that revised the Masonic Code for the Grand 
 Loc^e of Ohio, and made its report in 1895. 
 
 Crane died Friday, April 28, 1911, in his rooms at the residence of Colonel 
 Lafayette Lyttle, in Toledo, Ohio. 
 
 Althot^h of a retiring disposition. Crane had many friends, especially among 
 yachtsmen, as he had many among those who knew him best at Yale. 
 
 He was never married.

 JOHN E. CURRAN 
 J870 and J890 
 
*JOHN ELLIOTT CURRAN 
 
 JURRAN. Bom in Utica, New York, May 25, J848. Died May J8, 
 1890. Son of Edward and Mary (Langford) Curran. 
 
 His father was by occupation a leather merchant in Utica, New 
 York, and was born November JO, J 803, at Williamstown, New York. 
 
 His mother's residence before marriage was Westmoreland, New York. She 
 was bom April IJ, I8I5, at Westmoreland. 
 
 On the patemal side, the founder of the family in this country was Henry 
 Curran, son of Dennis and Ann Weldon Curran, of Enniskillen, Ireland. He 
 married Ann Kelly, also of Enniskillen, and came to New York City about J 789, 
 later moving up-state, where his grandchildren survive him today, in and about 
 Utica, New York. 
 
 On the maternal side the family is of Colonial descent, the earliest traceable 
 forbears (about J 700) bearing the names of Langford, Elliott, Edmonds, Sweeting, 
 Cobb, and Tyrrell, and hailing from Boston, Roxbury, Rehoboth, Taunton, Wey- 
 mouth, Wrentham, and other Eastern Massachusetts settlements. George Langford 
 and Nathaniel Sweeting, great-grandfathers, served honorably in the Revolution, 
 the latter at Lexington and Bunker Hill and later as an aide to Washington. An 
 uncle of Nathjmiel Sweeting was David Cobb, the Revolutionary general who later 
 put down Shea's Rebellion at Taunton, Massachusetts. Other ancestors served in 
 the French and Indian wars. About J 800, several of the descendants moved to Utica 
 and other places in New York, and, still later, to the Western Reserve and the Far 
 West, all of which regions hold descendants of these pioneers.

 John Elliott Curran was prepared for college at Williston Academy, Easthamp- 
 ton, Massachusetts. He entered with the Class Freshman year, and his society con- 
 nections were with Linonia, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Scroll 
 and Key. Third term. Sophomore year, he took the Second Prize in English 
 Composition and had a Dispute stand at graduation. 
 
 After graduation he spent a year in Europe with George Dodge, Faulkner and 
 Lewis; then entered the Columbia Law School, from which in due course he was 
 graduated. He began the practice of law with Lincoln, but after a time became dis- 
 satisfied with the profession and took a position with the firm of Dodge, Meigs and 
 Company, where he remained for several years. Of his after career Grinnell wrote 
 appreciatively for the last Biographical Record of Seventy as follows: 
 
 "Curran had a natural bent for literature. There was always in his mind 
 something that he wanted to say. But while his writings compared very favorably 
 with those of his fellows, his earlier literary efforts were not successful. His com- 
 
 6f 
 
position, while full of truth, vigor, and feelingf, was, when judged by the standard of 
 the practiced writer, faulty in construction. Although his first serious attempts at 
 writing for publication were discouraging, he never thought of giving up. With 
 the dogged persistence which was so strongly characteristic of the man, he kept at the 
 work, determined to persevere until he could make first the publishers and then the 
 public listen to what he had to say. One of his first published essays appeared in 
 the 'New Englander.' Soon afterward a story was accepted by 'Scribner's Maga- 
 zine,* and then others of the leading monthlies began seriously to consider the manu- 
 scripts he submitted to them. Meantime he had written a novel, *Miss Frances 
 Merley,* which was published by a Boston firm (Cupples and Hurd), and which 
 was successful, not in the sense that it paid money, but in that it was favorably 
 noticed by the press, and had a sale of over two thousand copies. It is a highly 
 creditable piece of work, abounding in force and feeling. For two or three years 
 Curran had stories in 'Scribner's,' * Harper's,' the 'Century,' and other magazines. 
 
 "However, no man can support himself by writing stories for the magazines, 
 and Curran was obliged to do other work. He wrote more or less for the daily 
 and weekly press, and everywhere his work was well thought of and he himself 
 made warm friends. The short notices published in the papers after his death were 
 very different from the usual perfunctory obituaries. They show real feeling and 
 indicate that those who wrote them felt an actual sense of loss in Curran's death. 
 He was for a short time permanently attached to the 'New York Press* as literary 
 and dramatic editor, but he was too good a man for the place, and at length made 
 way for a writer who had about him more of the reporter. 
 
 "Those who recollect Curran only as he was in college, or who had hardly 
 seen him since he graduated, can know but little of him as he was in later years. 
 He was a most promising writer of fiction, and it was in this field that his best 
 work was done. He wrote with a purpose. His stories were intended to call 
 attention to some truth or principle, not merely to entertain. If Curran had lived, 
 another but much more serious side of his character would have been shown to 
 the world. He was essentially a philosopher, and had devoted much thought to 
 social questions. He had long been considering a scheme of philosophy which he 
 beKeved would, when developed, be of value to the race. Curran had made long 
 strides toward a distinguished place in literature. He was cut off just as his life 
 promised most; just as he had perfected his literary education and was about to reap 
 the fruits of these long years of preparation. Had he lived he would have been 
 widely known and would have made for himself a lasting reputation. 
 
 "More than this, and quite aside from the work which Curran did, and which 
 he had already come to do so well, the character of the man was a noble one. His 
 strength, his indomitable courage, his bull-dog perseverance, his rough honesty, his 
 intense loyalty to his friends and to the College were all admirable qualities, but the 
 
 62 
 
sweetest and most winning: thing about Curran was the abounding charity which 
 he felt for every human being. He was a just man, but above all a man who made 
 allowances for others. While he was swift and stem in his condemnation of wrong 
 when he knew all the facts in any case, there never was a man more anxious to be 
 just and to err on the side of leniency. He always wished to learn the motives 
 which influenced any one accused of an apparent wrong action, and to hear the 
 extenuating circumstances? then, when all the facts were known, his judgment was 
 likely to be generous. Underneath the cheery and rugged surface of his nature 
 there flowed a deep current of gentleness, and tenderness, and love for all mankind. 
 
 "We have among us men who are successful in many walks of life, but there 
 is left no one who embodies in his cheiracter more philosophy, tenderness, and love 
 than did Jack Curran." 
 
 Curran's death was caused by pneumonia, which developed into pleurisy and 
 pericarditis, and ended in heart failure. Grinnell was with him for two days before 
 he died and at the time of his death, which occurred at Englewood, New Jersey, 
 May J 8, 1890.

EDWARD S. DANA 
 1870 and J9II 
 
EDWARD SALISBURY DANA 
 
 3ANA. Bom in New Haven, Connecticut, November J 6, 1849. Son of 
 Professor James Dwight and Henrietta Frances (Silliman) Dana* Pro- 
 fessor James Dwight Dana was bom in Utica, New York, February J 2, 
 1 8 13, and was the son of James Dana and Harriet Dwight He was 
 graduated from Yale Coflege in J 833, He was a member of the Wilkes Exploring 
 Expedition, 1838 to 1842; the professor of Geology and Mineralogy in Yale College 
 from 1855 to 1890; editor of the "American Journal of Science*'; member of the 
 National Academy of Sciences; corresponding member of the Institut de France 
 (Academic des Sciences), of the K. Akademie der Wisscnschaften, Vienna; foreign 
 member of the Royal Society of London, of the Royal Prussian Academy, Berlin, 
 of the Royal Academy of Sweden, of the Accademia dei Lincei, Rome; foreign 
 corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, etc. 
 He died in New Haven, April 14, 1895. 
 
 Henrietta Frances Silliman, daughter of Benjamin Silliman (professor in Yale 
 College, J 802-1 853) and Harriet Trumbull, was bom in New Haven, April 30, 
 t823, and died there January 31, 1907. Her marriage to James Dwight Dana 
 occurred on June 4, J 844. 
 
 The founder of the Dana family in this country was Richard Dana, who came 
 to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in J 640, probably from England. His son Daniel was 
 the father of Richard Dana, whose grandson, Richard H. Dana, was the author of 
 "Two Years before the Mast," and also of Caleb, whose grandson, James Dana, a 
 merchant, moved from Massachusetts to Utica, New York, where his son, James 
 Dwight Dana (father of E. S. D.), was born. 
 
 On the maternal side, Benjamin Silliman (E. S. D.'s grandfather) was gradu- 
 ated from Yale College in J 796, and was professor of Chemistry, Mineralogy, and 
 Geology from J 802 to J 853. He was the son of General Gold Selleck Silliman, of 
 Fairfield, Connecticut, who was captured by the British during the Revolutionary 
 War. 
 
 Harriet Silliman (E. S. D.'s grandmother) was the daughter of the second 
 Governor Trumbull and granddaughter of Jonathan Trumbull, who was governor 
 of Connecticut and a friend of Washington. Both the Trumbull and Silliman lines 
 trace a direct descent from John Alden and PrisciUa MuIIins, and date their coming 
 to this country with the "Mayflower" in 1620. 
 
 Numerous relatives of Dana have graduated at Yale, among whom may be 
 named: Gold Selleck Silliman (great-grandfather), 1752; Professor Benjamin Silli- 
 man (grandfather), 1796; Professor Benjamin Silliman (uncle), t837; James D. 
 Dana (father), 1833; William B. Dana (uncle), J85J; Arnold G. Dana (brother), 
 
 65 
 
J883; Alexander C Brown (son-in-law), J907; and James D. Dana (son), 191U 
 Also many cousins, brothers-in-law, etc.

 Edward Salisbury Dana was prepared for college at the Hopkins Grammar 
 School, New Haven, Connecticut, and entered with the Class. He was a member 
 of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Scroll and Key. He 
 took the Hurlbut Scholarship, Freshman year, and graduated with a Philosophical 
 Oration stand. In 1874 he received the degree of A.M., and in J 876 the degree of 
 PhX). 
 
 After graduation he spent two years in the graduate department of the Sheffield 
 Scientific School, giving special attention to Mineralogy and Chemistry. For two 
 years thereafter he studied abroad in Heidelberg and Vienna. Returning to New 
 Haven in J 874, he entered the College faculty as tutor of Mathematics, Physics, and 
 Chemistry. He held this position until 1879, when he was appointed assistant 
 professor of Physics. In 1890 he was made full professor of Physics, a chair which 
 he still holds. In addition to instruction in Physics and Mineralogy he has been 
 engaged as an editor of the "American Journal of Science** from J 875 J one of the 
 corps employed in the preparation of the "Century Dictionary," completed in J 89 J, 
 and of the new edition of "Webster's Dictionary," 1890. In 1892 he brought to 
 completion a work upon which he had been engaged for nearly ten years, the sixth 
 edition of "Dana's System of Mineralogy," a weighty volume of upwards of t,IOO 
 pages. This last labor, in conjunction with the other literary occupations mentioned 
 — all carried on together for nearly the whole period, and at the same time with a full 
 amount of college work, educational and administrative — all this was too much for 
 endurance, and in March, 1893, a serious breakdown necessitated a cessation of all 
 active employment, except the somewhat discouraging work of health-hunting. 
 With this object in view he went abroad with his wife in November, J 893, where 
 he remained for a full year. This period of complete rest enabled him to resume 
 partial college work in January, 1895. By the close of the college year he was able 
 to complete a small volume entitled, "Minerals and How to Study Them," a work 
 intended for young students. In 1896 he published "Appendix I to the System of 
 Mineralogy, J 892." In January, 1902, he had a second nervous breakdown and 
 was compelled to give up all college work until September, }903. During this period 
 he made the acquaintance of some more doctors, and among other recreations spent 
 three profitable, if not productive, months at a sanatorium in Cromwell, Connecti- 
 cut. Since his return to the active world, life has gone on quietly at New Haven, 
 with summers spent at Seal Harbor, on Mount Desert Island; the only longer flights 
 have been two modest trips to Bermuda. Work has been carried on under rather 
 severe limitations: it has included a moderate amount of teaching, a good deal of 
 
 66 
 
administrative work in the G)flege faculty and in connection with the Pcabody 
 Museum* He has also had the constant care of the family child, the ''American 
 Journal of Science/* founded by Professor SilKman in I8I8. The only literary 
 work in which he has had a share, that has come to the l^ht, is a "Second 
 Appendix to the System of Mineralogy,** brought to completion by Professor W. E. 
 Ford, in t908. He has also had a small part in the ''Century Dictionary'* vol- 
 umes of J909 and the "Webster International Dictionary** of J9J0. 
 
 In addition to his more elaborate literary works he has published numbers 
 of papers upon mineralogical subjects in scientific journals. In 1884 he was elected 
 a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and of the Minei'alogical Society 
 at St* Petersbttrg about the same time* In 1888 he was made a corresponding 
 member of the London Geological Society. He is also a member of the Edinburgh 
 Geological Society, the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain, the Philosophical 
 Society of Cambridge, England, the American Philosophical Society, the Geological 
 Society of America, and other learned societies* 
 
 Not only has Dana held a high rank in the University on account of his 
 learning and ability to instruct, but he has also been rated as one of the most 
 popular professors; thus maintaining the reputation which he had among his class- 
 mates during our academic career. 
 
 He was married, October 2, 1883, to Miss CaroKne Bristol, dat^hter of 
 William B. Bristol, Esq., a New Haven lawyer, who died in 1876.

ROBERT WEEKS dePOREST 
 
 aeFOREST. Bom in New York City, April 25, J848. Son of Henry 
 Grant and Jtdia Brasher (Weeks) deForest. 
 
 DeForest is a direct descendant of Jesse deForest, a Wafloon (French 
 Huguenot) of Avesnes, who, having moved to Leyden because of reli- 
 gious persecution, organised in 1 62 J a company of fifty-six families of feflow- 
 Walloons with whom he planned to emigrate to the New World for the sake of 
 religious freedom. 
 
 He first offered his colony to the English Virginia G)mpany, but their answer 
 was not satisfactory. In 1622 he made the same offer to the Dutch West India 
 Company, who accepted his proposal and "authorized the said Jesse deForest . ♦ . 
 to inscribe and enroll for the colonies all the families having the qualifications requi- 
 site for being of use and service to the country, the same to be transported to the West 
 Indies" (a name used for North as well as South America). 
 
 Nothing definite as to Jesse's further enrollments is known, but it is certain 
 that he himself went to South America in July, 1623, probably to choose a location 
 for his colony, and he presumably died while there, as his wife is shortly afterwards 
 alluded to as a widow. 
 
 In March, 1624, the Dutch West India Company sent a ship, the "New Nether- 
 land," Captain Cornelius May, with a colony of thirty families ("most of them were 
 Walloons") to New Amsterdam. This colony founded the present city of New 
 York, and was presumably — at any rate in part — the colony organized by Jesse 
 deForest. 
 
 Jesse had planned to take his wife and five children to America with him. 
 Three of these children sailed later for New Amsterdam and arrived in 1637. 
 Henry, the eldest son, lived only three months after landing, and died leaving no 
 children. Rachel, Jesse's daughter, was already the wife of Dr. Johannes la Mon- 
 tagne, who became very prominent in the affairs of New Amsterdam. Isaac, the 
 younger son, became the progenitor of all the American deForests. He was a brewer 
 and an important man in the colony. He died in 1674. 
 
 His youngest son, David (J 669-172 J )» moved to Stratford, Connecticut, about 
 J 695, and later married Martha Blagge. David's son Samuel (t 704-1 777) lived in 
 the same region and married Abigail Peat. Samuel's son Nehemiah (I743-J80t) 
 was bom in Huntington, Connecticut, and spent his life in that vicinity. He married 
 Mary, daughter of Deacon Peter Lockwood, and, as a second wife, Eleanor Hickok, 
 Nehemiah, as well as other deForests, sixteen altogether (all descendants of David 
 of Stratford), fought for the cause of independence in the Revolutionary War. 
 
 Lockwood deForest (I775-t848), the second son of Nehemiah, was bom in 
 
 68 
 

 ROBERT W. deFOREST 
 J 870 and 1911 
 
 ^S, 
 
the village of New Stratford, Connecticut, now called Monroe. He married in 1793, 
 when less than eighteen years old, Mehetable, daughter of Nathan Wheeler of the 
 same town. He moved first to Fairfield, then to New Haven, and in J8J5 to New 
 York, each time making some advance in the world. He was a shipping merchant 
 and importer, and rose to a prominent position in the city. In J 833 he retired from 
 business and passed the rest of his life in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and New York. 
 
 DeForest's father, Henry Grant deForest (1 820- J 889), was the third son of 
 Lockwood deForest. He was bom in New York, was graduated at Amherst in 
 J 839 and later from Yale Law School. He married (J 847) Julia Mary Weeks, 
 eldest daughter of Robert D. Weeks, a prominent member of the New York Stock 
 Exchange. He was a well-known lawyer in New York, a member of the firm of 
 Weeks and deForest, until his retirement from active business in 1865. 
 
 Robert Weeks deForest was prepared for college at Williston Seminary, East- 
 hampton, from which he was graduated in J 864, and studied abroad before entering 
 Yale with the Qass. He was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, 
 Psi Upsilon, and Scroll and Key, and graduated with a Dissertation stand. In J 873 
 he received the degree of A.M., and in 1904 Yale University conferred upon him the 
 degree of LLJD. DeForest has always abhorred titles, but he acknowledges that he 
 was deeply gratified at this mark of appreciation from his Alma Mater. 
 
 After graduating, deForest entered upon the study of the law in the Columbia 
 Law School, from which he was graduated in J 872 with the degree of LL.B., though 
 he was admitted to the bar by Supreme Court examination in the spring of J 87 J, less 
 than a year after graduation from college. He afterweirds studied at the University 
 of Bonn, Germany. 
 
 As a lawyer he has taken a prominent part in several important litigations, 
 among which are the so-called "Commodities cases,'* involving the constitutionality 
 of the Commodities Clause of the Hepburn Act, argued before the United States 
 Supreme Court in J9J0 (213 U. S, 366), and the New Jersey Railroad Tax cases, 
 involving the constitutionality of the Railroad Tax Law of 1883, heard before the 
 New Jersey Supreme Court and the Court of Errors and Appeals in 1885 (N. J. 
 Law Report, pp. I and J46), He became general attorney of tfie Central Railroad 
 Conjpany of New Jersey in J 874, and watched over its interests during the receiver- 
 ships of J877-I883 and J886-J888, as well as during its successive affiances with the 
 Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. He became general counsel of the road in J 892, 
 and since J 902 has been vice-president and general counsel. He represented the 
 Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Jacob S. Rogers will case (J 902), and later 
 represented it as well as Yale University in the Frederick C. Hewitt will case ( J909), 
 both of which were terminated by settlement. He was the confidential counsel of 
 
Mr. John S. Kennedy dtuing his lifetime and is one of his executors. He is one 
 of Mrs. Russell Sage's advisers. 
 
 In the business world, besides his railroad relations, he is president of the Hack- 
 ensack Water G)mpany (since J 885), a director and chairman of the Executive 
 Gimmittee of the Niagara Fire Insurance Gimpany, a trustee of the New York 
 Trust Company, the Hudson Trust Company of New Jersey, the Title Guarantee 
 and Trust Compziny, and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Nor does this 
 complete the list of his business activities. 
 
 DeForest is, perhaps, more widely known in the fields of philanthropy and art 
 than in his own profession or in the business world* He took part in the founda- 
 tion of the New York Charity Organization Society in 1881. He became president 
 of it in }888, and has occupied that position continuously ever since. His interest 
 in the broadening sphere of charity organization work has led him step by step into 
 other philanthropic activity. He was instrumental in founding the first magazine 
 devoted to philanthropic subjects from a national point of view. It was known as 
 the "Charities Review," and exists still under the title of "The Survey." He 
 was Mr. John S. Kennedy's adviser in the erection of the United Charities Build- 
 ing, Mr. Kennedy's gift to the charities of New York. The New York School of 
 Philanthropy, a professional pos^aduate school, so to speak, for education and 
 social service, now in the thirteenth year of its operation, owes its position largely 
 to his efforts. He was one of the founders, in 1894, of the Provident Loan Society, 
 New York's philanthropic pawnshop, and was its first president. It loaned during 
 the last year, t9I0, $n, 945, J 54.25. When Theodore Roosevelt, then Governor of 
 New York, appointed a state Tenement Commission, largely as the result of public 
 attention having been called to the evils of the New York tenement situation by the 
 Charity Organization Society, deForest was consulted by Governor Roosevelt as to 
 the personnel of that commission, and became its chairman. The report of that com- 
 mission secured the enactment of the New York State Tenement House Law of 
 1 90 J, frequently known as the "DeForest Law," and also the enactment of amend- 
 ments to the charter of New York creating a Tenement Department in control of 
 all the tenements of that city. DeForest was appointed by Mayor Low first Tene- 
 ment House Commissioner of the city of New York, and for two years (I902-I903) 
 served the city in this capacity. "The Tenement House Problem," written by 
 him and Lawrence Veiller, and the printed Report of the Tenement House Depart- 
 ment during his administration portray his activities in this direction. He was 
 president of the New York State Conference of Charities and Correction in J90t, 
 and president of the National Conference of Charities and Correction which met at 
 Atlanta in J 903. The Russell Sage Foundation, with an endowment of $10,000,000, 
 was established by Mrs. Russell Sage shortly after the death of her husband, largely 
 under deForest's advice. He has been vice-president of it since its oi^anization in 
 
 70 
 
J 907. He became vice-president of the National Red Cross in 1908, at the time 
 when the functions of that society were divided between a War Board, an Interna- 
 tional Board, and a National Board, and has been influential in securing the present 
 affiliation between the National Red Cross and the Charity Organization Societies 
 of the country for emergency relief. He is president of the National Housing Asso- 
 ciation, a natural outgrowth into the national field of tenement reform in New York. 
 He helped to organize the National Child Labor Committee, the National Employ- 
 ment Exchange, and has not escaped official connection with many other forms of 
 philanthropic effort. He succeeded his father as one of the managers of the Presby- 
 terian Hospital in 1890, and at the present time is its vice-president and chairman of 
 its Building Committee. He has been leader in the affiliation between the Presby- 
 terian Hospital and Columbia University in the interest of better medical education, 
 which has become effective this year (I9U). 
 
 DeForest's interest in art was manifest in college days. At one time he seriously 
 considered an artistic career. He has been a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum of 
 Art since 1877, but his real influence in its management began with his election as 
 secretary in 1904, practically simultaneously with the election of J. Pierpont Morgan 
 as president. Since then deForest is understood to have devoted a large part of his 
 time to the affairs of the Museum. He was elected one of its vice-presidents in J9J0. 
 He is quietly credited with many of the important changes in Museum administra- 
 tion and arrangement which have taken place in recent years. 
 
 DeForest was appointed by Mayor Van Wyck a member of the Art Commis- 
 sion of the city of New York in 1 90 1. This is the city department which passes 
 on all plans for buildings and statuary on city ground, as well as on the acceptance 
 by the city of all objects of art presented to it. He resigned this office in J 902 
 when he became Tenement Commissioner. He was again appointed^ by Mayor 
 McClellan in J 905, and has been president of the Commission since that time. 
 
 DeForest has never taken any active part in party politics. He has been 
 known as a "Cleveland Democrat," but his complete independence of all party lines 
 is illustrated by the fact that he was invited to attend the official notification of 
 nomination given to Judge Parker as well as that given to Theodore Roosevelt 
 in the summer of 1904. It is said that he could have had the Fusion nomina- 
 tion for mayor of the city of New York in 1908, when Mayor Gaynor was elected, 
 but he peremptorily declined to be a candidate on account of other paramount duties. 
 
 He is a Presbyterian by ancestry as well as by choice, and has been since 
 1903 an elder in the Madison Square Presbyterian Church, of which Dr. Charles H, 
 Parkhurst is pastor. 
 
 DeForest would not have it understood from this long list of activities that he 
 has no time or taste for recreation. He is passionately fond of open-air life, and 
 when in this country almost invariably spends some part of the summer in the 
 
 7i 
 
Adirondacks, where he has a modest camp and where he has sot^ht mountain 
 air almost every summer since 1877* He is fond of fishing:, and has made frequent 
 trips to the Grand Cascapedia, several of them with Ned Dana as a companion. 
 He is a member of the Cascapedia Salmon Club. He is fond of his country home, 
 where he often spends the week-end, winter as well as summer. He is fond of 
 planting; trees and flowers and seeing; them gfrow, and in this connection it should 
 perhaps be mentioned that he is one of the managfers of the New York Botanical 
 Garden. 
 
 There have been two breaks in deForest's active life; the first in the autumn 
 of 1883, when he was taken down with typhoid and pneumonia in the Adirondacks, 
 and where he barely escaped with his life. It was more than a year before he had 
 sufficiently recovered to resume business. A less serious illness broke up the winter 
 of J906-I907. 
 
 That deForest has always been a busy man goes without saying. He sits at 
 his desk with a telephone at his right and a stenographer at his left, but neverthe- 
 less resents any suggestion from his visitors that they should "apologize for takii^ 
 a few minutes of his valuable time." When asked how he manages to do so much, 
 he answers that the other fellows are really doing it and he is getting the credit of 
 what they do; but his friends know that he never gives his name to any cause 
 to which he does not give his personal service, and often carries that service down 
 to caring for the smallest detail. But however much he may try to accomplish in 
 the spheres of law, business, philanthropy, or art, he is never too busy to meet the 
 claims of friendship, particularly those friendships that were deep-rooted in Yale, 
 J870. 
 
 **Bob" deForest wants it clearly understood that whatever he may have done, 
 or be doing, and whatever prominence he may have attained in different lines of 
 public or private activity, his chief interest centers around his own home and his 
 own friends, of whom he is fortunate in having many, and none of whom are closer 
 to him than his classmates Ned Dana, Qiarlie Gould, and others he might mention. 
 He has a city home at No. 7 Washington Square, New York, a house built by his 
 wife's grandfather in J 833, which has had continuous family occupancy ever since; 
 and he has had since 1877 a country home at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. 
 
 DeForest married Emily Johnston, eldest daughter of John Taylor Johnston, of 
 New York, on November J2, J 872.

* GEORGE EGLESTON DODGE 
 
 30DGE. Bom in New York Gty, December J, 1849. Died at Brighton, 
 England, April J4, J904. Son of William Earle and Melissa (Phelps) 
 Dodge. His father (bom in Hartford, Connecticut, September 4, J805j 
 died in New York Qty, February 9, J 883) was a New York merchant 
 who was noted for his philanthropy. He was president of the New York 
 Oiamber of Commerce in J 867 and on for eight years, and was a representative 
 to Congress for the Eighth District in its thirty-ninth session. He was of the 
 seventh generation from Richard Dodge, who was in Salem, Massachusetts, as 
 early as J 638, and was a member of the church in Wenham, in the same state, 
 before J648. 
 
 Melissa Phelps Dodge, who was born in Hartford, Connecticut, March 3, J 809, 
 was of the seventh generation from George Phelps, who was in Dorchester, Mas- 
 sachusetts, in 1630, In J 635 he removed to Windsor, Connecticut, where he was 
 one of the leading citizens. The marriage of Melissa Phelps to William E. Doc^e 
 took place on the 24th of June, J 828.

 George Egleston Dodge was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, 
 and entered the Class Freshman year. He was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, 
 Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. He graduated with 
 a Colloquy stand* 
 
 After graduation he spent a year in traveling extensively throt^h Europe, 
 Egypt, and the Holy Land. On his return he entered the lumber firm of Dodge, 
 Meigs and Company, in which he remained until a few years before his death* 
 He was as unostentatious in his after career as he had been among his classmates 
 at Yale, but was none the less gracious and willing to help those who were in 
 need. He was a member of the Advisory Board of the Lincoln Hospital, was 
 connected with the management of the Presbyterian Hospital of New York Qty 
 and served as its secretary, and during several years was a member of the State 
 Board of Lunacy Commissioners. He was also one of the vice-presidents of the 
 Charity Organization Society of New York. His interest in his classmates found 
 expression in annual dinners given them, which are said to have been occasions 
 of rare enjoyment. 
 
 Gulliver's brief tribute to his worth may well be repeated: "Throughout his life 
 his characteristic trait has been generosity, expressing itself constantly in his thought 
 for others and in his efforts to add to the enjoyment of the lives of his friends, who 
 were legion. Few men possessed, as he did, the genuine affection of many people

in many walks of life, or better deserved it. He has, unostentatiously, done much 
 good in many ways, and will be remembered by both friends and acquaintances 
 gratefully and lovingly." 
 
 His health failing him in 1904, he went abroad for relief* He suffered a severe 
 attack of heart failure at Brighton, England, on April J 2, which was soon followed 
 by unconsciousness, from which he did not rally before his death on Thursday, 
 April J 4, at half -past two in the afternoon. 
 
 He was married. May 19, t874, to Miss May Cossitt, daughter of F. H. Cossitt, 
 of New York.

*GEORGE WASHINGTON DREW 
 
 REW. Bom in Rock Island, Maine, August 5, J 843. Died in Phoenix, 
 Arizona, April J3, J884 
 
 He was prepared for coflege at the Bucksport Academy, Maine, and entered 
 the Class Freshman year. He was a member of Brothers, Gamma Nu, Delta Beta 
 Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He graduated with a Dispute stand. 
 
 Drew was one of the most muscular men of the Class, and is spoken of in the 
 Yale Potpourri of 1869 as the ^'Manipulator of the tOO and 90 pound dumb-befls." 
 For two or three years he was on the University crew, rowing stroke oar of the 
 crew in J 869, at Worcester, when they were defeated by Harvard by only nine 
 seconds. 
 
 After graduation he became submaster of the Charlestown (Massachusetts) 
 High School, which position he retained until November, J 872, when he resigned in 
 order to complete his professional studies in the Columbia College Law School. 
 While thus engaged he supported himself by teaching, as he had done before enter- 
 ing and while in college. He received the degree of LL.B. in the summer of 1874 
 and was admitted to the New York Bar. Soon after he went to Boston, where 
 he was admitted to the practice of the law, in which he was successful up to 
 At^fust, 1878, when he moved to San Francisco, California. Of his subsequent 
 life his wife has furnished the following record; 
 
 "At first he found great difficulty in gaining the confidence of the Western 
 people; but after six months of patient endeavor succeeded in obtaining a situation 
 in Brewer's Military Academy in San Mateo as teacher in Greek, Latin, and 
 Higher Mathematics. He soon became very popular both with teachers and pupils, 
 and gained strong friends among the former, one of whom was afterwards asso- 
 ciated with him in business at St. Helena. Becoming familiar with the method 
 of conducting private schools, he decided to open one himself. Learning that 
 St. Helena, Napa County, California, promised fair advantages for such an under- 
 taking, he decided to try his fortune there. At the end of his first year in that place 
 he was joined in partnership with Mr. John L Housman, a graduate of the Uni- 
 versity of California. This undertaking met with fair success, but not enough to 
 satisfy Mr. Drew's ambition. In the meantime Mr. Sackett (a graduate of Yale), 
 who had a very prosperous boys* school in Oakland, offered him the position of 
 head master at a good salary. After much hesitation he finally decided to accept 
 the position in Mr. Sackett's school. This proved to be a great mistake. Owing 
 to too close confinement his health soon began to fail, and symptoms of consumption 
 appeared. At the end of two years he was obliged to sever his connection with the

 J870 and J883 
 
school* At the beg:inning of the next school year, in company with four others 
 who had been teachers in the Sackett School, he opened a boarding; school in Oak- 
 land* Many of their old pupils followed them to their new quarters, and the term 
 opened with every prospect of success. Mr* Drew took charge of the boarding 
 department and taught some classes in the languages* By this arrangement he 
 secured the benefit of being out of doors much of the time* However, he was 
 under the care of physicians constantly, but failed gradually in health* At the end 
 of the year, with every prospect of success, he was again compelled to sever his 
 connection with the profession of teaching, and returned to St* Helena in the hope 
 of regaining his health and strength* He remained there a few months, but in 
 February, 1884, by advice of his physicians, he went to Phoenix, Arizona* The 
 journey of over a thousand miles proved extremely exhausting* His cough grew 
 rapidly worse and his strength soon failed him* He was confined to his bed only 
 about thirty-six hours and died April t3, J 884* Although he had lived in Phoenix 
 only two months, he had been there long enough to prove his worth as a true 
 man, and the greatest respect was paid him at the time of his death* During the 
 time of his funeral all the stores in the town were closed and business was gen- 
 erally suspended — a mark of respect that had never before been paid by residents 
 of the town* Mr* Drew lived a pure, chaste life, always strictly true to himself 
 and his family* He clung to life until the last* He did not want to die, but had 
 no fear of death* He was a kind, devoted husband, and one of the best and most 
 affectionate of fathers* He was a man universally loved by all who knew him, 
 and a great favorite with all his pupils, who always speak of him in terms of the 
 greatest respect*" 
 
 This tender characterization of our self-sacrificing classmate falls in with our 
 estimate of what he was at Yale* A more faithful man could not have been found 
 in the entire college* We all honored him for his genuine worth and were grate- 
 ful for the efforts he put forth for the honor of the college on the water* That so 
 muscular a man should have succumbed to the inroads of disease at so early a 
 date may be accounted for, in part at least, on the ground that he overexerted him- 
 self in those strenuous efforts which he put forth on Lake Quinsigamond* 
 
 He was married, April J3, J873, to Miss Laura A Mayers, of Charlestown, 
 Massachusetts* One child, Herbert Alanson, was bom to them in Jersey Gty on 
 March J3, J874* He died of consumption in Boston, March 18, 1893*

* HORACE WEBSTER EATON 
 
 ^ATON. Bom in Boscawen, Merrimack County, New Hampshire, 
 ' June 28, J 846, Died September 7, J 905. Son of Rev. Horace and 
 Anna Ruth (Webster) Eaton. He was a descendant of John Eaton, 
 who was in Colchester, now Salisbury, Massachusetts, as early as J 640, 
 and moved to Haverhill, where he died in 1668. The father of our classmate, 
 who was bom in I8J0, was a graduate of Dartmouth College, which gave him 
 the degree of D.D, in J 839, and of Union Theological Seminary. He was settled 
 for a long number of years over the Presbyterian church in Palmyra, New York, 
 where he died in J 883. Horace's mother was bom in Boscawen, New Hampshire, 
 in 1823, and was the daughter of Nathaniel and Betsy (Sawyer) Webster. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Horace Webster Eaton was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, 
 and entered Yale with the Class in J 866. He was a member of Brothers in Unity 
 and Delta Kappa. In J 873 he received the degree of A.M. from his Alma Mater. 
 
 The greater part of his life after graduating from Yale was spent in the employ 
 of the government at Washington. He was employed as a clerk in the office of the 
 Census Bureau of 1870, J880, and J890. He was also in the Patent Office and 
 Pension Office, remaining in the latter office until his health broke down in 1903. 
 While not employed by the government he was engaged as a teacher in New York 
 and Virginia. In the summer of J 884 he received the degree of B.L. and in the 
 following summer that of M.L. from the National Law School of Washington, 
 and was admitted to the bar of the District Supreme Court in June, 1885. 
 
 Of his last days his sister writes: ''In the summer of 1897 he had suffered an 
 attack of nervous dyspepsia, on account of which he was absent from the office for 
 some months. This second attack of 1903, in some respects similar to the first, did 
 not yield as the former to rest and medical treatment. He spent the winter of t903- 
 1904 at Werner sville, Pennsylvania, but being only slightly improved was com- 
 pelled to resign his position in the Pension Office, with little hope of ever returning 
 to his beloved Washington, He came back to his old home in Palmyra, New 
 York, where his mother and one sister still reside. AH means which seemed to 
 offer hope of recovery at home, at the hospital in Rochester, New York, and at the 
 sanatarium at Clifton Springs brought but short relief. His disease seemed to be a 
 pernicious anaemia, a progressive collapse of the whole nervous force. He passed 
 away very gently, September 7, J 905, as the early autumn evening was falling and 
 the church bells softly tolling. Horace was a painstaking, competent, and con- 
 scientious employee of the government for many years, and understood the pension 
 business from beginning to end as few do. Kind and generous, sympathetic almost

 J870 and J904 
 
to a fault, he could not endure to hear any tale of trouble or sorrow if he had means 
 to help/' 
 
 The loyalty of Eaton to his college and to Seventy was well known to those 
 who were associated with him, and remains with the Class as a pleasant memory* 
 It is doubtful whether any member of Seventy was more faithful to duty than was 
 he. To his mother and sister we all would extend our most tender sympathy over 
 the loss of so dutiful a son and brother*

WILLARD EDDY 
 
 ?DDY, Bom at Turner, Maine, August 29, J845. Son of Heniy and 
 Sarah Hayward (Torrey) Eddy. His father was bom in Connecti- 
 cut, October t, J805, and was graduated from Yale in 1832. He studied 
 at Andover Theological Seminary and at Yak Theological Seminary, 
 was ordained to the Christian ministry in 1836, and received the degree of IVLD* 
 at Yale in J85t. His father was Thomas Eddy, son of Charles Eddy, son of Charles 
 Eddy, who is supposed to have been a descendant of Samuel Eddy, who migrated 
 to Plymouth from England in J 628. 
 
 His mother, whose maiden name was Sarah Hayward Torrey, was bom June 
 20, I8t7, and had her home in North Bridgewater, now Brockton, Massachusetts, 
 until her marriage, which occurred August 23, J 843. She was a descendant of the 
 Pilgrims John Alden and Priscifla, who are famed in Longfellow's "Courtship of 
 Miles Standish," the captain of Plymouth. Before marriage she was a teacher in 
 Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, in Massachusetts, together with Mary Lyon, 
 its founder. 
 
 His brother, Henry Turner Eddy, now of Minneapolis, Minnesota, graduated 
 from Yale in J 867. 
 
 Willard Eddy was prepared for coflege at the North Bridgewater Academy, 
 now Brockton, Massachusetts, and entered the Class Freshman year. He was a 
 member of Brothers and Gamma Nu, took the first Freshman Mathematical Prize, 
 and graduated with a Dispute stand. 
 
 After leaving coflege he began the study of law at the University of Albany, 
 from which he was graduated. He then entered a law office in Hartford, Con- 
 necticut, for further study, and while there, in the winter of J87J-I872, was 
 employed by the Hartford Theological Seminary as instructor in Greek. He began 
 the practice of law in 1873, in Hzirtford, where, after 1883, he made a specialty of 
 patent law. While in Hartford he was cafled upon to deliver a course of lectures 
 upon a branch of equity jurisprudence before the University of Minnesota, for which 
 he received high praise. 
 
 While conducting his business in Hartford he resided for a number of years on 
 his farm at Haddam, Connecticut. 
 
 In J 905 he reported himself as president of the Bailey Manufacturing Company, 
 of New York Qty, where he spent a portion of his time. 
 
 In 1908 he removed from Connecticut to Omaha, Nebraska, where he is engaged 
 in the practice of his profession as a patent lawyer. He is a special lecturer in the 
 Creighton Law School, a thriving Jesuitical institution of that city. He finds the

people of Omaha congenial and friendly, and reports himself as being in good health 
 and weighing 2t0 pounds. 
 
 He says: "I regret that I have not kept in touch with the boys of our Oass. 
 K any of them come this way, I hope they will hunt me up/* 
 
 He was married, September 28, J 876, to Miss Mina H. Hertel, from whom, 
 after a separation of many years, he procured, October J9, J908, by civil action 
 inter partes, a divorce.

ELISHA JAY EDWARDS 
 
 EDWARDS. Bom in Norwich, Connecticut, November JO, J 847* Son 
 of EKsha and Loretta A« Edwards* He is a descendant of William 
 Edwards, who was settled at Easthampton, Long Island, about J 650, 
 and is understood to have been a descendant of Sir Richard Edwards, 
 who served in some capacity at the court of Queen Elizabeth, To him the branch 
 of the family of which Jonathan Edwards was a member traces its origin. Our 
 classmate's ancestors in the United States were either farmers or merchants. His 
 father was a blank book manufacturer, whose wholesale house was in New York; 
 also a bookseller. On his father's side he also traces his ancestry back to the 
 Bulkeleys, a noted Connecticut family. 
 
 Edwards's mother's family were members of the Strong family, of which a 
 very complete genealogy has been published. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Elisha Jay Edwards was fitted for college at the Norwich Free Academy and 
 at the New Haven High School, and entered Yale with the Qass. He was a 
 member of Linonia and Gamma Nu. Besides his A.B., received at graduation, he 
 was honored in J 873 with the degree of LL.B. by his Alma Mater, and in J 898 
 received the degree of LLJ). from Seton Hall College. 
 
 After graduation he studied law, and in 1873 was admitted to the bar. But 
 his predilection for journalism soon led him into the field where he has made a 
 name for himself as one of the ablest journalists of the time. He was for three 
 years city editor of the "New Haven Palladium"; for some months editor of the 
 "Elm City Press"; for a time editor of the "Hartford Sunday Globe"; then con- 
 nected with the "Norwich Bulletin"; and afterwards the Washington correspond- 
 ent of the "New York Sun," of which paper he was for some time the editor of 
 the evening edition. Over the nom de plume of "Holland" he has had daily letters 
 in the following papers: "Boston Herald," "Wall Street Journal," New York Qty, 
 "Philadelphia Public Ledger," "Cincinnati Enquirer," "Chicago Tribune," and 
 "Minneapolis Tribune." He has published over his own name "Historical Anec- 
 dotes" in some thirty papers, including the "Evening Mail," of New York Qty. 
 In the Sunday edition of the "New York Times" a special article from his pen 
 frequently appears, which is also signed by him. Magazine articles, too, arc to be 
 enumerated in the list of his many productions, among the latest of which is one 
 in the January, 191 i, number of "Munsey's," on the country's wealth. 
 
 Of Edwards's ability and energy striking testimonies have been given, Thomas 
 L. James wrote of him: "It was my good fortune, when postmaster general, in 
 I88J, to find Mr. Edwards in charge of the *Sun's* Washington bureau, and

ELISHA J, EDWARDS 
 1870 and 1911 
 
I cheerfully bear witness to the energy and zeal with which he entered into the 
 great Star Route fight which occurred at that time, and the vigorous manner in 
 which he denounced the corrupt and defiant gang and held up their crimes to an 
 indignant people/' Oiarles A. Dana declared that "Mr* Edwards, in whatever 
 responsibility he had been tested, excelled* As a reporter his work is beyond 
 criticism* As an editorial writer he is pungent and thoughtful As a writer of 
 romances his work was delightful, and as an executive manager his career has 
 been brilliant*" Chauncey Depew once said that **Mr* Edwards called upon him in 
 reference to a public matter, and that he for fifteen minutes narrated to Mr* Edwards 
 those things which were in his mind about it* He noticed that the correspondent 
 took no notes, but listened with apparent interest* Mr* Depew supposed that a 
 brief summary of what he had said might appear* To his intense astonishment, 
 he found that he had been reported with absolute verbal accuracy to the extent of 
 two columns, and he regarded this feat of memory as something marvelous*" One 
 of Edwards's greatest efforts, perhaps, was his excellent report from memory of a 
 sermon of the rapidly speaking Bishop Phillips Brooks, after a stenographer had 
 failed to take it down in shorthand* 
 
 He was married in New Haven, October 10, J 872, to Miss Anna Scribner 
 Jones, daughter of Edward L* Jones and a direct descendant of Theophilus Eaton, 
 the first governor of the New Haven Colony* Governor Eaton's daughter married 
 WilHam Jones, the second governor of the New Haven Colony. Colonel Jones 
 was a son of General John Jones, one of the Regicides who signed the death war- 
 rant of Charles the First and married a sister of Oliver Cromwell* Mrs* Edwards 
 is therefore of Cromwellian stock*

HENRY J. FAULKNER

* HENRY JACKSON FAULKNER 
 
 > AULKNER. Bom November 2J, J847, in Dansvifle, New York. Died 
 September 30, J 888. Son of Endress and Mary (Shepard) Fatilkner. 
 Henr/s father, a graduate of Yale, Class of 1839, was bom in 
 Dansville, March 25, J8I8. He entered the banking business with his 
 father. Dr. James Faulkner, who was one of the pioneer settlers of the famed 
 Genesee Valley, coming with his father, Samuel Faulkner, in t797, when but a 
 child, and when the present village of Dansville was a rude settlement. 
 
 Henr/s mother was the daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Hurlburt) Shepard, 
 and was bom in Dansville. 
 
 fi ^ ^ 
 
 Henry Jackson Fatilkner was prepared for college at Stockbridge, Massachu- 
 setts, and at home under a private tutor. He entered college with the Qass, and was 
 a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Scroll and 
 Key. He graduated with a Colloquy stand. Three of his uncles, James, Samuel, 
 and Lester B. Faulkner, sons of Dr. James Faulkner, were all graduates of Yale, 
 Class of 1859. 
 
 For eleven years after graduation he was in the banking business in Danville, 
 but his health requiring him to spend his winters at the South he made his perma- 
 nent home in Florida after J 882, locating at first at Oak Hill and later at Enterprise, 
 near which place he died. 
 
 Owing to his generosity, his efforts in business, first in merchandising and later 
 in building and managing a hotel, resulted in financial losses which he did not live 
 to retrieve, February 25, 1884, he was appointed one of the county commissioners 
 of Volusia County and was made chairman of the board. Of his career from that 
 time to the end of his life his friend and business partner, Arthur G. Hamlin, has 
 this to say: "Coming thus into some little political prominence and making friends 
 everywhere, he was urged to become a candidate for clerk of the Circuit Court for 
 said county, an office that then paid some $6,000 per annum. He was elected and 
 began his service March 9, J 885. He was apt at clerical work, and soon learned to 
 perform his duties satisfactorily. He made up in good will what he lacked in 
 knowledge. On his election to this office he took up his residence at Enterprise, 
 the county seat. 
 
 "June J 5, 1885, he was appointed deputy collector of revenue for the county, 
 which office he held for two years, in addition to the clerkship. 
 
 "In June, J 888, having been reelected once, he removed to DeLand with all the 
 county books and papers, that place having become the county seat. While at Enter- 
 prise he formed the Volusia County Abstract Company, for the purpose of fumish- 
 
 87 
 
ing abstracts of title, etc. This was a corporation of which I became a member, and 
 its business was quite profitable. Faulkner was half owner. 
 
 **It will thus be seen his income was not small at any time. Until about t887 
 he remained the same genial Faulkner. Then his family began to meet financial 
 trouble in New York, and he lost an interest in quite an amount of bank stock. 
 After that he never was quite the same. 
 
 "I, perhaps, was the nearest to him of any friend during the last two years of 
 his life. He would send for me to sit with him alone, and would keep me with him 
 for hours at a time, in which he would either utter no sound or occasionally break 
 down and cry like a child. 
 
 **In all my experience I never met a man with such a fund of affection and 
 devotion to those he cared for. I can only compare him with a loving child. In 
 all his mind there was not a grain of distrust or dishonesty. He was frank and 
 open, and all mankind to his mind were honest and above reproach. I must admit 
 that no other life with which I ever came in contact more fully impressed itself 
 upon me. A man strong in hope and ambition, and at times as firm in his own 
 views as any one could be, and yet a little child in all that pertained to heart and 
 soul. Surrounded by many evil influences and unworthy associates, he was abso- 
 lutely innocent of any evil intent.** 
 
 This characterization of Faulkner will recall to his classmates the same qualities 
 therein mentioned as having been prominent in him during our college days. He 
 was a sunny, warm-hearted fellow, who endeared himself to an unusual degree to 
 all who came into close companionship with him.

HENRY PARKER FELLOWS 
 
 ^ELLOWS. Bom at Hudson, New York, August 4, J848. Son of 
 Henry and Catherine (Ranney) Feflows. The founder of his father's 
 family in this country was William Fellows, who settled at Ipswich, 
 Massachusetts, in J 635. Ephraim Fellows, the grandson of William, 
 served in King Philip's War; and his great-grandson, Obid Fellows, was a soldier 
 in the Revolutionary War. 
 
 On his mother's side our classmate is a descendant of Thomas Ranney, one 
 of the founders of Middletown Upper Houses, which, from J650 to I85I, was a 
 part of the town of Middletown, Connecticut. Thomas Ranney died June 21, 
 J7I3, at the age of ninety-seven, and was the last of the founders of Middletown 
 Upper Houses to die. His was the first burial in the cemetery that was laid out in 
 J7t3. His grandson, Stephen Ranney, served in the French and Indian War, also 
 in the War of the Revolution. His son, Reuben Ranney, who settled at Claverack, 
 New York, was a contractor and built the court house at Hudson, Columbia County, 
 New York, the church at Johnstown, and other public buildings? and a gray stone 
 house, still standing, at Claverack, for his own residence, where he died in J844. 
 Henry's mother, Catherine Ranney, was brought up in the latter's family.

 Henry Parker Fellows was prepared for college in Hudson, under Professor 
 Loos, and entered the Qass of 1869, which he left at the end of Sophomore year. 
 He entered Seventy at the beginning of Junior year and graduated with us. He 
 was a member of Linonia and Delta Kappa. 
 
 After graduation he studied law in Hudson, in Worcester, and in the office of 
 C. T, and T, H. Russell and H. W. Suter in Boston. He was admitted to the bar 
 in the latter city June 8, J 872, and has continued to practice there ever since, first, 
 and for the greater part of the time, at 28 School Street, then at 27 on the same 
 street, and latterly at 43 Tremont Street, where he is at present located. 
 
 One very creditable venture into the field of literature was his little book entitled, 
 ''Boating Trips," which was published in J 884 and elicited high praise from the 
 critics. 
 
 He seems to be a confirmed bachelor, but who can tell what may happen in 
 Boston?

JOSHUA MILTON FIERO 
 
 |IERO. Bom at Catskill-on-Hudson, Greene County, New York, October 
 J5, 1850. Son of Joshua, Jr., and Mary Frances (Pierson) Fiero. Our 
 classmate's father was a man of strong personality and of great promi- 
 nence in the state of New York. He served three terms in the State 
 Legislature — twice in the Senate and once in the Assembly. When the Qvil War 
 broke out he was president pro tem. of the Senate, acting lieutenant governor, 
 chairman of the Committee of Military Affairs, chairman of the Ways and Means 
 Committee, and on other important legislative committees. In 1863 he was prov- 
 ost marshal, with his office in Kingston, Ulster County. For one term he was a 
 member of the National Congress. 
 
 The name Fiero has been well known in the history of New York and New 
 Amsterdam for more than two hundred and fifty years, and has been particularly 
 prominent in the counties of Ulster and Greene, which are now represented in the 
 State Senate by William Pierson Fiero, our classmate's brother. The name is both 
 Spanish and Italian, and the forbears of the New York Fieros came from Holland 
 and the Netherlands, the Spanish and Dutch families having largely intermarried 
 in the time of Charles V. 
 
 Fiero's mother, Mary Frances Pierson, was the daughter of William Pierson, 
 Esq., a descendant of Abraham Pierson, the first president of Yale College. 
 
 ^ ^ ;? 
 
 Joshua Milton Fiero left his home before the close of the Qvil War and went 
 to Andover, where, in Phillips Academy, he spent two years. His class graduated 
 about sixty members, in which he stood tenth in scholiirship. He came down to 
 Yale with twenty-four of them in 1866 — a notable company, whose influence in the 
 Class of Seventy was always strong. He was a member of Brothers and Delta 
 Kappa, and is now a member of Alpha Delta Phi and Wolf's Head. He was grad- 
 uated with a Colloquy stand. In 1873 he was honored with an A.M. 
 
 After graduation he entered upon the study of law, and in 1873 was admitted 
 to the bar, having passed an examination before the general term of the Supreme 
 Court. Since J 878 he has been actively engaged in the practice of the law. 
 For the greater part of the time since J 880 he has been associated in business 
 with Simeon Baldwin Chittenden, Yale, 1865. Part of the period his brother. 
 Senator Fiero, has also been in business with him. Since May, 1911, Joshua M. 
 Fiero, Jr., has been associated with him in the same office, with William Pierson 
 Fiero as counsel. His business has been mostly real estate, corporations, and 
 administration of estates. He is counsel for several large corporations. 
 
 Fiero was married, October J 6, J 882, to Miss Jeannette Waterman Eldredge,

 day; and her brother was Thomas Whitney Waterman, also an eminent lawyer 
 and an author of many valuable books and text-books, particularly of law books. 
 Another brother was Joshua Whitney Waterman, of Detroit, a great lawyer and 
 philanthropist, who was the father of Cameron D. Waterman, Yale, t874, and the 
 grandfather of Cameron B. Waterman, of Yale, t90J.

IRA EMORY FORBES 
 
 ^ORBES. Bom in Coventry, G)nnecticut, January J8, J843. Son of 
 Henry and Adelia A. Forbes* Before coming to college he did good 
 service in the Union Army, enlisting in the Sixteenth Connecticut Regi- 
 ment from Wethersfield, July 21, t862. He was in the Battle of 
 Antietam, September J 7, J 862, in the Battle of Fredericksburg, December 12, J 862, 
 and in the Battle of Nasemond during the siege of Suffolk, Virginia, May, 1863. 
 He also took part in the campaign of Northern Virginia during the latter year. At 
 the beginning of 1864 his regiment was stationed at Plymouth, North Carolina, 
 The garrison at that outpost, under General H. W« Wessels, was captured April 
 20, J 864, by the much superior force of the Confederates, under the command of 
 General Hoke Smith. The Sixteenth Regiment of Connecticut, of about four hun- 
 dred and thirty-five officers and men, was a part of the garrison captured. The 
 color guard of this regiment were in the shelter of a gun platform, and seeing no 
 possibility of holding out longer than a few minutes the colonel in command ordered 
 that the colors should be brought to him. Color Sergeant Francis Latimer in- 
 stantly started with the national colors and Color Corporal Forbes grasped the state 
 flag, and through an open field, under a galling fire of the enemy, they brought 
 them in safety to Colonel Bumham. Both colors were then cut or stripped from 
 the staffs and in shreds were divided among the men and carried into captivity, 
 much the larger part going to Andersonville, Georgia. The deaths of nearly one- 
 half of the men in the Southern prison pens made a loss of many of the scraps of 
 the colors. In J 879 it was decided to place the remains of the flags of Connecticut 
 regiments in cases especially fitted for them in the rotunda of the State Capitol in 
 Hartford. The Executive Committee of the Sixteenth Regiment issued circulars 
 to the survivors and advertised also for the pieces to be brought in, and enough 
 pieces were found and restored to make a central shield on a white silk banner, 
 properly inscribed. On the memorable Battle Flag Day, September 17, J 879, Forbes 
 had the honor of carrying that sacred banner in the procession of old veterans who 
 escorted their battle-torn flags through the streets of Hartford, and of depositing it 
 in the rotunda of the Capitol, where it may now be seen. Secretary Whitney, of 
 the Sixteenth Connecticut, has said of Forbes: *'That he was a particularly brave 
 and faithful soldier every man of the regiment will testify. I knew of none braver."

 Ira Emory Forbes prepared for college at the academy in Wethersfield, 
 Connecticut, and at the institute in Lyme, under William A. Magill, a nephew 
 of Professor James Hadley. He entered with the Class, and was a member of

IRA E. FORBES 
 1870 and I90I 
 
Brothers in Unity and Gamma Nu. He received the degree of A.B. with the 
 Class* 
 
 After graduation he taught for a year in General Russell's Military School in 
 New Haven. In J 872 he engaged in journalism in Springfield, Massachusetts. 
 In J874 he entered the service of the ''Hartford Evening Post/' and was engaged 
 in newspaper work for more than thirty-three years. 
 
 Forbes originated the Legislative Biographies which were published for years, 
 from 1879, by the "Evening Post." He has written extensively concerning Con- 
 necticut in the Civil War campaigns. His researches concerning Andersonville 
 Prison have been elaborate. During the past two years his series of papers on 
 this topic have been issued by the "Hartford Times." 
 
 Forbes is a member of the Army and Navy Club of Connecticut; of the 
 Veteran Corps of the Governor's Foot Guard of Hartford; a member of Center 
 Church and of the Center Church Men of that organization; and one of the oldest 
 members of Hampden Lodge, L O. O. F., of Springfield, Massachusetts, having 
 united with that body in J 873. 
 
 Forbes has been the victim of diabetes for over twelve years, and has been a 
 great sufferer from rheumatism. His eyesight is so impaired from the disorder as 
 to be unserviceable. 
 
 Forbes was married, July 18, 1872, to Miss Sarah Rhoda Short, daughter of 
 Mrs. Edward Grinnell. She is a prominent representative of the order of the King's 
 Daughters in Connecticut, holding the office of secretary for Hartford and Litchfield 
 Counties.

CHARLES WOODWARD GAYLORD 
 
 fAYLORD. Bom at Wallingford, Connecticut, August 28, J 846. Son 
 of David and Bertha (Bartholomew) Gaylord. On his mother's side 
 he is a descendant of William Bartholomew, who came to Boston in 
 the ship "Griffin/' the same ship which brought over Rev. John Lothrop 
 
 and Mrs. Anne Hutchinson. He was made a freeman in J 634- J 635, and was very 
 
 prominent in affairs in Ipswich, Massachusetts. 
 
 ,« <* ^ 
 
 Charles Woodward Gaylord was prepared for college at the Suffield (Connecti- 
 cut) Literary Institute, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of 
 Linonia and Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and graduated with a Colloquy stand. 
 
 After graduation he studied medicine at the Yale Medical School, from which 
 he received the degree of MJD. in July, 1872. He immediately began to practice 
 in Branford, Connecticut, where he has since remained, and where he has not only 
 faithfully and successfully discharged the duties of his calling, but has also been 
 called upon to assume other responsible positions, among which may be named; 
 health officer and medical examiner for the town and president of the Board of 
 Trustees of the Blackstone Library, of which he was one of the original incorpo- 
 rators. He is a member of the New Haven County and Connecticut State Medical 
 Associations; of the American Medical Association; of the National Association for 
 the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, being a vice-president and member of its 
 Board of Directors; and a member of the Medical Board of the New Haven County 
 Tuberculosis Association, which controls the "Gaylord Farm Sanatorium," for the 
 cure of incipient cases of tuberculosis, which is located on his old farm in Walling- 
 ford, and has achieved a world-wide reputation for the results which it has secured 
 in the way of curing cases of the white plague. 
 
 The esteem in which Gaylord is held in the community where his lot has been 
 cast was strikingly shown on the evening of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his 
 marriage, in a gathering of over four hundred people in Gaylord's Opera House, 
 where an address was made to him by his pastor. Dr. Devitt, in which was "re- 
 viewed his twenty-six years of hard work, with all its discouragements. It was 
 said that the people loved Dr. Gaylord because he loved them. There had not been 
 a public interest in the place that Dr. Gaylord had not been identified with. Dr. Devitt 
 spoke of his gentle and mild manner at all times; of his traveling over the Branford 
 Hills through snow, slush, mud, and dust to relieve the sick, and wound up his 
 remarks by paying Dr. Gaylord the most beautiful tribute that could be paid to 
 man, comparing him to that sublime character. Dr. MacLure, of Drumtochty. 
 Dr. Devitt then presented Dr. and Mrs. Gaylord with a perfectly exquisite solid

CHARLES WINTHROP GOULD 
 
 JOULD. Bom in New York City, August J9, J849, Son of Charles 
 (bom September 30, JSJJ; died September 8, 1870) and Henrietta 
 Saltonstall (Mumford) Gould (bom December 2J, 1811 j died Novem- 
 ber I J, 1889). Their marriage occurred May 6, 1835. 
 Gould numbers among his ancestors numbers of Goulds who have figured 
 largely in public affairs; Thomas Mumford, who came to Rhode Island about 1625 
 and married a daughter of Philip Sherman, secretary of the colony? Sir Richard 
 Saltonstall and Govemor Winthrop. 
 
 He entered Seventy in May, J 868, coming to us from the Class of J 868 of the 
 College of the Qty of New York. He was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, 
 and Delta Kappa Epsilon, and graduated with a Dispute stand. He is also a 
 member of Wolf's Head. 
 
 To edit the communication which Gould addressed to the Secretary, in response 
 to the circular asking for information about himself, by cutting down or otherwise 
 changing it, would be denying the Qass a great treat like that which was enfoyed 
 by the Secretary when it came into his hands. So it is given herewith, as follows, 
 with the explanation that the worthy spoken of in the first paragraph is doubtless 
 Descartes, who gave utterance to the saying, "cogito ergo sum": 
 
 "Concerning my ancestors I have little or no personal knowledge, for most of 
 the time I was not there; but as Ben Silliman once said in answer to a direct ques- 
 tion by President Porter (who asked him what was the celebrated saying of a 
 dead and gone worthy whose name I forget), *Ego sum ergo sum ego,* and there- 
 fore I will start, if you will permit me, with my own consciousness. 
 
 *'To begin with my consciousness of my ancestors: I cannot tell you much 
 about the Goulds, for I have not the book of the Goulds by me. Indeed I do not 
 know that there is any such a thing in existence. I never saw one. But I am 
 credibly informed that I had a grandfather who was a fudge, and after his retire- 
 ment from the bench became the forefront of the Litchfield Law School. Most of 
 his sons, I believe, were graduated from Yale, but my information in this regard 
 is not exact. Be that as it may, I am quite sure that those who were not graduated 
 from Yale wished they had been. 
 
 "I am fortunate, however, in finding the Mumford book, and am astonished 
 to note, for I have been perusing it for the purposes of this communication, that 
 the first Mumford (my mother was a Mumford) who came to this country had 
 twenty pounds. He gave this money away for the purpose of becoming some sort 
 of an adventurer. I think it was a gentleman or a gentlemanly adventurer in what 
 
 96 
 
CHARLES W. GOULD 
 J870 and I9J0 
 
was then called the colony of Virginia. If he had any more money after he gave 
 his twenty pounds away, I am not advised. I never have seen any of it. When 
 he got to Virginia apparently, however, he began to beget, as Elihu Vedder says of 
 one of his ancestors; but unlike Elihu Vedder's ancestor, who begot nothing but 
 Dutch names, he began to beget Thomases, at least one kind were Thomases ; the 
 other kind were largely Rebeccas. Now no Rebecca can go often to the well with- 
 out being broken, nor any Thomas either, for that matter. The general result was 
 that they all passed away, but not before the Thomases begat other Thomases 
 and the Rebeccas (I do not know the passive voice of the verb beget) Rebeccas. 
 
 **1 have seen the old Mumford house. It was not in Virginia at alL It is 
 fourteen miles or thereabouts west of New London in an air line. I did not go that 
 way. None of this premature flying for me. And it was here, then, they lived and 
 loved and formed entangling alliances with Saltonstalls and Winthrops and other 
 sturdy New England names, and not with Culpeppers and Fairfaxes and names of 
 that kidney. So that when I was discovered, in New York, in the same year in 
 which gold was discovered in California (odd that the precious metal should be so 
 widely disseminated in our country), I was discovered in close juxtaposition with a 
 slight nasal twang, by which it seems on both sides of the family I came qttite 
 properly. In front of the house they showed me the stone wall under which the 
 slaves were buried. As I had been brought up an abolitionist and had always been 
 led to believe it was the family tradition, that stone wall was a great shock to me. 
 I was also shown a copy of the will of one of the former owners of that mansion. 
 He gave away his best sword to one friend, his second best sword to another, and 
 his traveling pistols to a third. I do not recollect any other disposition of property. 
 And yet I would not have the fellows of our Class jump to the conclusion that he 
 was a highwayman. Far from it. Let them rather recognize the beneficial result 
 of willing away weapons outside of the family circle in the writer's resultant gentle 
 and peaceful disposition. 
 
 **Every man in the Class should arrange to be a judge at least once in his life 
 for the sake of his grandchildren. The effect upon his immediate posterity may 
 not be so fortunate; for I recollect that one of the only lawsuits my father had 
 was lost on the strength of the authority of his father's book on pleadings. When 
 Mr. Tracy, who had charge of the case, revealed the horrid fact to me, I said, 
 there is an immemorial statute which forbids seething the kid in its mother's milk. 
 He sternly replied: 'There is no law against sousing a man in his father's pleadings. 
 On the contrary it is a very common occurrence.' Some men have no sense of 
 humor! I have avoided my grandfather's decisions since that time. The only 
 case I can remember which was brought before him was when the clergyman of 
 Litchfield consulted him as to whether it was proper for a man of his cloth to work 
 in the hayfield in 'Oxford mix' pantaloons, or whether he should adhere to the 
 
 97 
 
clerical black. I have never heard what my grandfather's decision was* I think he 
 probably took the matter under advisement; but the incident throws what is com- 
 monly called a side light on the manners and customs of early New England, and 
 also explains the nature of the scenery when the hayfields were dotted all over with 
 black pantaloons, and in a way accounts for the deserted New England farms. 
 
 "But to resume: I never saw my grandfather, but I knew he was a Judge, and 
 to the childish fancy of a boy of five or six years old the awfttl specter of a stem 
 old gentleman clad in black visited me immediately after the commission of any one 
 of those heinous crimes of which a child of those years is capable, and, unlike the 
 rest of my classmates, I was capable of an infinity. The sentence invariably pro- 
 nounced upon me was death and a whipping afterwards. You can thus see that 
 I knew perfectly well the life led or rather suffered by wicked little boys in that 
 place whither wicked little boys always go. In other words, I had been carefully 
 instructed as to the fundamental ideas of our religious belief. In point of fact, I 
 am quite sure that Juc^e Gould was a kindly old gentleman, and have been given 
 to understand that he suffered from the gout. But this I believe is a slander. At 
 any rate, the knowledge of his function in life always pervaded my childhood with 
 a sense of a lack of moral rectitude difficult to describe. And this is why I recom- 
 mend a course of Judgeship to each potential grandfather of our Qass. 
 
 "Early school days were not unpleasant. They largely consisted, according to 
 my present recollection, in a game called *How many miles?* Of course there were 
 some hours of confinement whose labors seemed to me somewhat useless, as I 
 did not understand their object; and to fill a whole page of a copy book with the 
 repetition of the statement, *This is a specimen of my penmanship,* was monoto- 
 nous toil, notwithstanding the fact that each specimen was totally unlike any other 
 specimen, and all agreed in differing absolutely from the horrid copperplate original 
 which mocked at one from the top of the page. But ultimately, each day, school 
 'let out*; then real life began. 
 
 "You know how attractive a vacant lot is to an ordinary boy. Well, right 
 in front of our house was Madison Square, which resembled nothing so much 
 as a vacant lot. It was surrounded by a wooden picket fence and traversed 
 on right lines by paths which were dusty in dry and muddy in wet weather. 
 No flowers adorned its solitude, and the very aspect of the benches which were 
 disposed at inconvenient intervals along the paths invited the wayfarer to pass 
 on. In the south middle (that has a familiar sound) was a large old willow 
 tree which was always 'hunk.* Rob deForest and I were the leaders of the re- 
 spective factions. As I was the faster runner I could always catch him; as he 
 was the longer winded he could always catch me, which led to a rather well- 
 balanced outcome; for we both felt that justice was done, and this formed a sure 
 foundation for that amity which has remained unbroken ever since: Esto perpetual 
 
 98 
 
"Now this 'staying power* has always been a remarkable characteristic of 
 the boy Rob and the man Robert. You may remember that it was the attribute 
 of one of the Yale crews, and we pinned our hopes of victory upon it, but the 
 Yale boat got in the eel grass; and at the indignation meeting held to discuss the 
 defeat at Will Whitney's office, after much useless talk. Major Heaton, the dear 
 old fellow, suggested that our hope had evidently been well founded, but had 
 worked the wrong way, for Yale had lost the race on account of her * staying 
 power/ Now I have never yet observed that Rob deForest has lost any races, 
 but then he is a judicious man, and so far as possible has avoided the eel grass 
 of life. 
 
 "Later, being like the human tongue an unruly member, the family concluded 
 to send me to boarding school, which proved to be a sort of 'Dotheboys Hall.* 
 By chance my parents were passing through Pittsfield, and stopped at the school 
 to see how I was coming on, while I was passing through the hall, so I opened 
 the door for them. They did not recognize me. My parents instantly became 
 educated up to the point of removing me from the institution, and this is the only 
 instance of any education that I have heard of in connection with that school. 
 
 "As soon as I was sufficiently recovered I was sent to public school in New 
 York City. These schools then were the very best schools there were, and I 
 believe have ever since retained their deservedly high reputation. Here a curious 
 change took place. To my astonishment I developed an immense bump of 
 curiosity. I wanted to know about any number of new and strange things. 
 Geography, history, arithmetic, algebra, the mere mention of which would have 
 given me a shudder of abhorrence a year before. My parents told me that if I 
 kept at it I would make myself ill, and after I was fairly landed in the Free Acad- 
 emy, as it was then called (now the College of the Qty of New York), and had 
 gone through the Introductory year, their prediction was fulfilled and I collapsed. 
 There was a weary period of worthlessness, and then it was determined to send 
 me to California, which in those days was a month's voyage by way of the Isthmus 
 of Panama. How the world has shrunk! 
 
 "I was a boy of fifteen, and the morning after we left New York I remember 
 climbing with (fifficulty to the topmost deck of the steamer, and noting with joy 
 that one of the paddle wheels mostly churned the air while the other seemed con- 
 tinuously buried in the great waves. I asked the captain, in whose charge I had 
 been placed and who was superintending the vain attempts of a single sailor to 
 do something with a sail, if we were going to have a storm. He looked angrily 
 at me and bawled over tiie roaring of the wind, *We are having one right now,* 
 and my boyish soul was filled with a great content. My, how I did enjoy myself 
 that day! And then came the tropics and the Isthmus, where I learned witii horror 
 that the foundation of the railroad was laid upon humanity, for they told me that 
 
 99 
 
there was an Irishinan buried under every tie. And then the sail in the tender, 
 through the beautiful bay of Panama, and the moonlit night to where the distant 
 lights of the steamer twinkled in the blue gloom, and dear old Commodore Watkins, 
 who put me at his own mahogany table, and gave me curry and Bombay duck 
 and pineapple such as I had never dreamed of, and which defied Fletcherism by its 
 sudden dissolution in the mouth. 
 
 **The dear old gentleman began his soup with a somewhat weather-beaten and 
 rosy complexion, which gradually changed to red and deepened to purple, until 
 with the close of the meal its poKshed color seemed to melt into that of the table. 
 Is there any wonder that my emaciation should have allowed room for a gain 
 of twenty pounds in thirty days? 
 
 "And then California, and later the Sandwich Islands, whither I went and 
 whence I returned in a full-rigged bark, and spent most of the time in the rigging. 
 Again and again the pictures rise before me. It may be that memory and imagi- 
 nation have made them still more radiant. The molten lake of the volcano, *The 
 house of the sun,* over the mile distant rim of whose extinct crater the level floor 
 of the great ocean of white clouds slowly poured, glowing with tints of sunrise; 
 while on the hither side, at our very feet it seemed, but thousands of feet below, 
 the dark ocean wreathed and moved. And then CaKfomia once more and the 
 wonders of the Yosemite, and the horseback trip through the heat and the sunlit 
 dust to the big trees. AH these things and more rise before me in the mere telling 
 them, a world of pictures, clear and distinct, bathed in a flood of color such as 
 Turner died in emulating. 
 
 "I think it was toward the fall that I reached home, and a little after, drop- 
 ping back one year, reentered the Freshman class. Once again the demon curi- 
 osity took a firm grip upon me. I hardly knew any of the hundred new classmates 
 with whom I was thrown, but it seemed absurd to me that a traveled man of 
 the world should not know as much about the daily lessons as the stay-at-home 
 bodies. And then, again, I had reached the mature age of sixteen. The general 
 result was that at the end of the first term, for our college year had two terms, 
 when the announcements were made, to my great surprise and the astonishment 
 of my parents I led the Class and was fairly in the running for the valedictory. 
 How Billy Welch will laugh if he reads this, and what a slow Japanese smile will 
 adorn Leamed's intellectual visage! Then matters changed, and in a dumb way 
 I think I recognized that I was no longer working for the sake of the information, 
 but working as a contestant for a given position. I became more and more dissatis- 
 fied, especially as I had taken the modern course, as it was called, which replaced 
 the classics by French, Spanish, and German. I began to suffer once more from 
 the prod of my familiar demon curiosity, which was an improvement in my mental 
 attitude. I felt I must know something about those dead languages. (Later 
 
 JOO 
 
I found I owed a debt of gratitude to the remnants of my Spanish.) Bob deForest 
 had gone to Yale. He was in his Freshman year, while I was in my Sophomore* 
 I persuaded my father to let me make the change. 
 
 "O rare Ben Jonson takes a fling at his friend William Shakespeare when 
 he states that that famous bard knew small Latin and less Greek, My classmates 
 will be glad to know, dear Hicks, that one of their number about to be bore a striking 
 resemblance to William Shakespeare, A courageous man was finally found who 
 undertook the task of preparing me in one year in Greek and Latin for the Yale 
 third term Sophomore — others had refused the task on account of its impossibility? 
 so I said good-by to each of my instructors in the City Gillege, who reasoned with 
 me most kindly to persuade me to remain, and could not understand how one whose 
 marks had thus far that term been maximum, as they assured me, could renounce 
 the pleasant possibility of a high stand at graduation. But I have never for one 
 instant regretted my choice. 
 
 **When I left the City College I kept one thing which has been more to me 
 than all the possible valedictories in the world. It is an odd, an unaccountable 
 thing; one never knows how it happens, but friendship lay in my way and I found 
 it. That friendship has endured all my life, and with gathering years has grown 
 deeper and stronger, a consolation in sorrow, a sure reliance in calamity, one which 
 in sharing the foys of life has almost doubled them. 
 
 "About a year later I went up to New Haven during the recess between the 
 second and third term Sophomore, I went with a palpitating heart and a letter 
 of introduction from my father to his old friend. Professor James Hadley. 
 
 "At the time I remember that I thought the important event of the day was 
 the result of my application for membership in our Class and college. I never 
 have for a moment thot^ht that I passed the scrutiny of Professor Hadley and 
 the friends in the faculty to whom he sent me by virtue of any merit or hard work 
 of my own. I think one and all knew the effort I had made and were very indul- 
 gent. As a matter of fact the great event of the day, and for that matter of all 
 time, was my meeting with Professor Hadley. His gentle kindness put me at ease 
 in a moment, and at the same time I never felt more keenly the vastness of my 
 ignorance. I could not help comparing the boy who less than a year before had 
 struggled to learn the Greek alphabet with the man whose learning was genius. 
 One felt his great erudition, notwithstanding his gentleness and modesty. There 
 was an austerity about him which did not repel, for one knew instantly that it 
 was for himself alone, while for all others kindliness and charity went hand in 
 hand. I have always regretted that our Class saw so little of him, for he was a 
 great man, and one whose quiet influence worked for good more than that of 
 almost any other man I have ever met. The splendid career of his son is at once 
 his dearest tribute and memorial. 
 
"So, after all, the impossible was achieved, and for two short years I was 
 with you and with you performed the various college duties and shared its pleas- 
 ures. With you I heard the whispering of the elms, which, like the oaks of old 
 Dodona ages before, talked to priest and neophyte alike* At the time I suppose 
 none of us understood their leafy oracles. To George Grinnell they doubtless 
 foretold that he would become a real, live, red Indian, so far as adoption could 
 make him; to Jack Nicholson that he would be the attorney general and chancellor 
 of his beloved state; to Learned and to Chandler they spoke in soft Oriental tongues; 
 to Billy Welch — well, if he had stopped to listen while they told him all that he 
 would do and all that he would become, he would be listening yet. I confess to 
 my dull ears, although I listened and although I loved them, they then told nothing; 
 but now I understand their meaning and I know they said that the deepening 
 years should drain the lees of college life, and memory hold but the fumes of its 
 enchanting wine. 
 
 "Immediately after graduation I was called to Europe by the serious illness 
 of my father, who died later in the summer, and I came back in grief to the city 
 which was strange to me. While waiting to find something to do, I studied law, 
 mostly, I think, to be with those members of the Qass who were attending the 
 New York Law School. Some of them had been with Professor Marsh the 
 summer before, and their experiences were so interesting that I arranged with the 
 professor to meet him at Fort Bridger late in the spring. There I met one of my 
 older brother's classmates, and as nothing was heard from Professor Marsh he 
 took me along with him on the geological survey, and with the party I remained 
 all the summer. It is possible that the dreadful story which was published about 
 me in one of the Qass histories to the effect that I was a sheep herder may have 
 originated from this episode. I wish to deny it absolutely. I never had anything 
 to do with sheep. 
 
 "In the early summer of 1872 we were all admitted to the bar, and then for 
 most of us began a labor which thousands of years before had revolted the long- 
 suffering children of Israel. We began the making of bricks without straw, or, 
 as Jack Nicholson phrased it, we entered the 'sturm und drang' period; but then. 
 Jack Nicholson would never consider even the most ordinary every-day event with- 
 out desiring to connect it by a delicate process of reasoning with either the nebular 
 hypothesis or the Darwinian theory, both of which were exceedingly popular in 
 those days. Some of us who had not studied law were already working out our 
 apprenticeship in active business, but George Grinnell never liked it, and as soon as 
 he could he withdrew and slipped back to New Haven, where he foregathered 
 with Ned Dana and some other choice spirits and set to work quietly to make 
 Professor Marsh famous. Of course I have always devoutly believed that the 
 Class of Seventy discovered the justly celebrated five-toed horse, and in this I prob- 
 
 102 
 
ably did a great scientist a grievous wrong, George Dodge, on the other hand, 
 liked the active business life into which he pleasantly slid, and kept pegging 
 away at it like a Trojan; and Ned Bement, after wandering over the greater part 
 of the known earth, and some of the unknown, concluded, with his usual hard- 
 headed good sense, that, all things considered, the stock exchange could be more 
 readily reached from the lower part of the city of New York than from any of the 
 foreign countries he had visited. In truth and in fact Ned never left us. There 
 was a nominal separation only, for a more loyal Yale man does not live. About 
 this time those of us who had fathers began to appreciate what a help they were. 
 I remember perfectly well when early in the game Rob deForest took to carrying a 
 careworn and professional looking bag. To my envious eyes it appeared to be 
 oozing with legal documents of great import. I opened it once by chance and saw 
 a pair of skates and some very luscious looking fruit. A little later Will Gulliver, 
 God bless him I gave up commercial life in Chicago and started in to study and 
 practice law. From the first he set a hot pace for us. Walter Beach and Sam 
 McCutchen continued that course of consistently attending to their own affairs 
 which ultimately led to their receiving all the employment they could desire to 
 attend to other people's. One day Gaff Reeve blew in upon us on one of his 
 flying visits. I think we were all at Rob deForest's house. Several of us were 
 very much cast down when he told us he had just finished a very important brief 
 for his chief, for most of us were copying affidavits; but when later he grew 
 expansive and told us his chief's criticism of it: 'Charles, you might as well try 
 to make Judge So and So eat mush and milk with a fork as to try to make him 
 swallow this brief,' we all cheered up. It showed us that Gaff was human after 
 all, and another strawless brickmaker. Shortly after this Jack Nicholson opened 
 an office, as it was called, and a little later was compelled to engage an office boy. 
 Of course we all envied him, until we found the fact to be that he had engaged the 
 boy to keep the office open. That boy was a loyal little soul. Whenever we went 
 to see Jack and found him out, the boy would always asseverate that he was *tryin' 
 a case,' and I expect he was. A little later Rick Terry, who was administering a 
 cure of souls uptown, used semi-occasionally to come to supper, and frankly de- 
 lighted in the fact that he was no longer in hard training for the Freshman race. 
 Rick always had a passion for ice cream. 
 
 "At that time the one man in New York who kept the Yale crowd together 
 more than any one else, save perhaps George Adee, was Major Heaton. He had 
 his office in tfie same building with Jack Curran, and I suppose more points of 
 practice were discussed and more really momentous decisions were rendered in 
 that office than anywhere except in the courts themselves. The cases almost 
 always turned on the boat race or the ball match, but they were full of meat. It 
 was a sort of class and college circulating library, for if any of us received any 
 
 J 03 
 
news from any of the fellows we hastened thither and imparted it, and if we 
 wanted any news or were looking up a man we went there to get the information. 
 So you will understand that the Ve* used in this letter really refers to the Yale 
 crowd. Then Jack Nicholson felt the South a-calling and drifted back to his 
 native state, where his genial presence soon made itself widely felt. He never was 
 quite reconstructed, and when attorney general absolutely refused in one detail to 
 give the colored people their inalienable rights under a certain amendment to the 
 constitution, for, he said, 'What is the use of having the state support a large part 
 of the Negro population in the penitentiary, even if they have the right to be 
 there, simply because the fashion set them by their betters and a dim religious sense 
 lead them to prefer a bigamous marriage to none at all?* I have never heard 
 that the colored people of Delaware complained of thus being defrauded of their 
 rights. 
 
 "And now Bob deForest began pushing the Charity Organization Society with 
 such effect that it commenced to look as if we should have no poor left. This 
 naturally made many of those gentle souls indignant, for had they not every right 
 to rely upon the promise that they should be always with us? The warfare is 
 not accomplished, but after all said and done it is a glorious war, and whichever 
 way it turns, whether the Charity Organization succeeds in abolishing poverty or 
 the poor successfully resist the methods of the Charity Organization, the odds, in 
 my opinion, are in favor of the poor. 
 
 "Of Billy Welch we saw but little, more's the pity. He was too busily engaged 
 in making the acquaintance of a number of minute gentry whose diabolical machi- 
 nations against the peace and quiet of our own insides it has been his life business 
 to thwart. It was easy enough doubtless for him to become acquainted with their 
 personal appearance, although he had to use a forty-horse-power microscope to catch 
 even a glimpse of them. It was the terrible task of trying to remember their names 
 which kept him so busy. He has my entire sympathy. I never could remember 
 names myself. Of George Huntress, too, we scarcely got more frequent word than 
 from Welch, for George was up in Boston strictly attending to his brick making, 
 and good solid bricks he was making too, as the event proves. Then again, 
 as he confessed to us at our last reunion, all his spare time was spent in listening 
 to important arguments by Scaife, for George has a delightful taste for really good 
 literature. 
 
 "From John Ross we heard not infrequently, and notwithstanding the cares 
 of his profession, for he was practicing law in Kansas City, he was soaring and 
 singing like a lark. Perhaps as we are dealing with practical affairs I would better 
 say he was soaring and singing like the price of his own local real estate, and 
 mayhap a little on account thereof. 
 
 "And the years swept by and Chase began his justly celebrated attack on 
 
 104 
 
Blackstone. The combat was fierce, but our chief finally succeeded in so plaster- 
 ing that learned jurist with notes that his own lawful wedded spouse would not 
 have known him. But be careful. Chase, for the old gentleman is a redoubtable 
 opponent, has been the head of a great law school longer than you, and if he ever 
 gets his second wind * . . I 
 
 "Then George Grinnell came back from New Haven and among other things 
 took up the management of * Forest and Stream,' But, after all, his real interest in 
 life lay with his adopted children. They thought they had adopted him when 
 with due rites and mysteries he was made a member of the tribe, but in point of 
 fact he adopted them first; and many a sad abuse of the red man has been corrected 
 and many a much needed reform has been brought about by the patient and tireless 
 efforts of this same quiet and unassuming gentleman, 
 
 **And Ned Dana became a member of the faculty and we all rejoiced, for we felt 
 that one more wise and considerate man had been added to her councils, 
 
 "And then there came a burst of judicial glory, for Ned Thomas was practicing 
 law with such pernicious activity that we had to conspire to make him a Federal 
 judge to get rid of him. And what do you suppose? He absolutely refused to 
 decide uniformly in favor of his classmates. Did you ever hear of such a chap! 
 And Jack Nicholson became chancellor of Delaware, and I — well, I had once years 
 ago been a notary public, so I threw that in his teeth, 
 
 "At the close of the Spanish War a commission was appointed by Spain and 
 a similar commission by the United States to arrange the details of the evacuation 
 of Cuba, I had been too young to go to the Civil War and thought I was too old to 
 go to the Spanish, but the youth and pluck of General Reeve — to whom my humble 
 apologies — teach me differently. However, you will remember my ancestor had 
 willed away the family weapons. There may be something in that, I volunteered 
 for the position of counsel to the commission. President McKinley listened to the 
 intercession of some of my friends and appointed me, 
 
 "There were with me my two friends, Lloyd Garrison and Ernest Conant, 
 Admiral Sampson was a member of the commission. An acquaintance, made with 
 him on shipboard, later ripened into a warm friendship. He was a tall, slender 
 man, worn and pale, I do not suppose that it was possible he should have been 
 otherwise, for to blockade with converted tugboats 1,400 miles of coast whose waters 
 were largely uncharted was a Herculean task. One thing was to be remarked 
 about him almost immediately, and that was his desire and determination to learn his 
 duty and do it, 
 
 "When we reached Havana we found the 'Comal' lying there with provisions 
 for the reconcentrados. She had been there for several weeks, as the Spaniards 
 refused to permit the food to be landed until what they called customs duties, 
 amounting to sixty thousand dollars, were paid. This, of course, was merely 
 
 JOS 
 
plunder. The 'Comal' never did land her food in Havana, but was subsequently 
 withdrawn and went around to Matanzas. This was a great disappointment to 
 Washington. 
 
 ** We led a busy life in Havana. There were many people to meet, Spaniards 
 and Cubans. There were questions constantly arising of the deepest interest, and 
 there was the difficult but most absorbing endeavor to get in touch with the whole 
 situation, not only in the city of Havana, but in the island at large. 
 
 "The laws and their administration were not at all understood by us at home, 
 and the penal code needed only to be translated to have some of its fourteenth century 
 provisions changed. We accordingly set about it. In two months, thanks to the 
 energy and capacity of some of the leading Cuban lawyers in Havana, the transla- 
 tion was printed and handed to the government at Washington. 
 
 "The principal matter accomplished was the acquaintance which was formed 
 with the leading men and with some of the leading Cuban generals. This latter 
 turned out to be most fortunate in the end. The work was very hard but very- 
 absorbing. Once again curiosity kept after me. And here it was that my child- 
 hood Spanish stood me in good stead, for, as I renewed my study, the long forgotten 
 words rose from their graves in my memory and became once more somewhat 
 serviceable. 
 
 "Of course Havana was not an ideal place of residence. No city that has been 
 blockaded for months can be. One of our members died of yellow fever. He was 
 a splendid fellow, a veteran of the Qvil War, and wore the five-pointed star of 
 Congress for an act of gallantry on the field of battle somewhat akin to that of our 
 own Forbes. 
 
 "And Colonel Waring tool It was in this wise. He was sent down to make 
 a special report upon the sanitary conditions of Havana, with suggestions as to 
 changes and improvements. By the time he reached Cuba we had been hard at 
 work for upwards of six weeks. Lloyd Garrison, who made friends in Cuba as 
 fast as he had at home, could go anywhere and do anything. Every one seemed 
 to love him and tried to help him; and Ernest Conant had been specialising on 
 the sanitation of Havana. When Colonel Waring arrived he came right to us, 
 and went everywhere with Garrison and Conant and saw everything. He was 
 with us all the while. Indeed he went over his report with me just before his ship 
 sailed, and an excellent report it was. He left my house apparently in perfect health, 
 went directly on board of the ship, and judge of our amazement and sorrow when 
 we learned that almost immediately upon his arrival in New York he had died of 
 yellow fever. Strangely enough, however, this occurrence did not bring the ques- 
 tion of health or ill health home to us at all. Sickness seemed a remote possiHlity, 
 and thank heaven it remained so. 
 
 "Shortly before Colonel Waring's visit, an Englishman by the name of Charles 
 
 106 
 
E* Akers joined us and at once became immensely interested in what was being; 
 done. He was of the greatest help, for he knew nearly all the important people on 
 the island, was full of energy and resource, and later, when the question arose of the 
 food distribution, became a tower of strength. 
 
 ** About the middle of November I was recalled to Washington to report, and 
 was able to place the Administration somewhat in touch with Cuba. I had been 
 ■ there about two months, working night and day, and was practically the first one 
 who was in position to speak somewhat positively about the prevailing conditions. 
 The attitude of the Cubans towards the change of flag was practically unknown. 
 In point of fact they were very apprehensive, afraid of annexation, and most of them 
 thought that the upshot of the war was to be merely a change of masters. Many 
 things were discussed, but the matter which seemed peculiarly to interest the Presi- 
 dent was the situation of the reconcentrados. These poor people had been summarily 
 driven from their homes. Their houses had been burned and their cattle killed. 
 They were marched to some open field near an adjacent town, at the four corners 
 of which were the sentinels' blockhouse towers. Between the towers ran the dead 
 line. Little or no shelter was provided for them and little or no food given them. 
 They died like sheep. The Cuban is devoted to his family, and the mortality was 
 greatest among the men. At the close of the war the survivors were permitted to 
 go at large, and the towns were full of beggars, widows with small children, men 
 whose every rib could be counted and whose protuberant bellies told of the vile trash 
 they had been compelled to eat. Some of the fairest and most productive por- 
 tions of the island had been made a desolation. It was the third time Spain had 
 attempted to depopulate the island. On two previous occasions she had succeeded, 
 and General Weyler was merely carrying out her time-honored policy. 
 
 "The President was evidently moved. When I finished he was silent for a 
 little space, and then told me he had tried to help those unfortunates and how his 
 efforts had been unavailing. He wished he could find some one who would under- 
 take the work of relief. I told him that my work in connection with the com- 
 mission was entirely completed and that I would gladly go. He said he dreaded 
 complications, but I ventured to assure him there would be none. In a few moments 
 the Secretary of War came in; the position was explained to him by the President; 
 and two or three days afterwards I left once more for Havana. About a week 
 later the first shipload of provisions arrived, and that afternoon early we went 
 westward along tihe coast towing two large lighters, and before daylight had 
 landed sufficient pro-visions for the temporary relief of all the island west of Havana. 
 Efficient and responsible assistance for the quick personal distribution had already 
 been arranged. By daylight the ship started eastward. 
 
 "The plan upon which the distribution was made was really an adoption 
 of the methods which I had learned in that Charity Organization Society of 
 
 J07 
 
Bob deForest's. Word was sent on beforehand to each little city or town; the 
 principal inhabitants were called together, a relief committee was immediately 
 formed, and it was asked to do two things. First, to distribute the food to relieve 
 immediate suffering; and second, to put every one back upon his farm so far as 
 possible. The Cuban forces held tiie open country, and then it was that my 
 acquaintance and friendship with their leading generals was so fortunate, for I had 
 no trouble in arranging with them; indeed, they were most glad to aid the work by • 
 having their soldiers put up the simple palm huts used by the peasant farmers. The 
 sweet potato ripens in Cuba in about sixty days from planting, and is one of the 
 principal articles of diet. The committees were urged to provide the necessary seeds 
 and to procure the few necessary tools, so that the President's relief not only meant 
 feeding the hungry but repopulating the deserted places of the land. It was wonder- 
 ful to see the singleness of purpose and the tireless energy of those committees. It 
 gave one a very different idea of the Cuban. Of course we had our difficulties 
 and delays, and delay was the thing I most dreaded. Fortunately all complications 
 were avoided, 
 
 "Notwithstanding delays, the whole western part of the island and by far the 
 richest and most populous portion had been relieved and amply provisioned by the 
 end of December. The eastern portion of the island was not only thinly populated, 
 but had not been subjected to the horrors of reconcentration, and moreover its needs 
 had been taken care of from Santiago, which city you will remember our troops 
 occupied continuously. 
 
 **It was estimated by careful observers that in the course of four or five months 
 eighty thousand people were returned to their farms and had become producers 
 instead of beggars. Serious-minded Cubans have always regiirded President 
 McKinley's relief measures as having been the only possible method of rehabilitat- 
 ing the island which was then prostrated. They attribute the quick return to peace- 
 ful and favorable conditions to the revival of agricultural life, which would have 
 been impossible without the needed food. 
 
 "It was entirely the President's personal idea, as I know and can testify. I have 
 heard him called a mere politician, a time server, and a wire puller; but such re- 
 marks have made no impression on my understanding, for if I ever become a wire- 
 pulling politician I should like to be one whose tender mercy brooked no obstacle in 
 the relief of misery, whose loving-kindness did not rest until it had reestablished a 
 broken people. 
 
 "And now, dear Hicks, notwithstanding appendicitis and other woes of the 
 flesh, I have kept the promise made you on the night of our Class Supper and have 
 done it gladly, for I want the fellows to know that the hasty words I spoke that 
 night were true, and that all through the tissue of these years has run the golden 
 thread of their good fellowship and kindness. I think if they will read my story my 
 
 f08 
 
story will prove it, for I cannot break away from the relations Yale established, nor 
 would I if I could* 
 
 **To you and to them and each of them. Peace I

*DANIEL JONES GRIFFITH 
 
 GRIFFITH. Bom in New York Qty, August 6, 1848. Died July 2, J909* 
 Son of Griffith William and Mary Jones Griffith, of Welsh ancestry. 
 His early life was passed in New York. 
 
 ^ ^ <* 
 
 He was mainly fitted for college in New York Qty, though he received some 
 of his preparation under a private instructor in New Haven. He entered the Class 
 of 1869, which he left at the end of Junior year. He afterwards entered Seventy 
 and graduated with the Qass. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, and 
 Alpha Delta Phi. 
 
 His career after graduation is told as follows in a beautiful Memorial that was 
 published after his death: "After an interval, during which he gave himself up to 
 special studies, he went to Europe. Here he spent some seven years in the study 
 of music, chiefly in Dresden. Most of this time he was under the instruction of 
 Lamperti, who represented all that was best in the Italian school of music. As an 
 evidence of his ability and proficiency, it may be mentioned that he was selected 
 by Rubinstein to sing his songs at the fiftieth anniversary of his first appearance 
 in public at the old Gewand Haus, in Leipsic, which was shortly afterwards torn 
 down. Mr. Griffith possessed a baritone voice of unusual richness and sweetness, 
 which was particularly suited to sacred song, and he was heard to greatest advantage 
 in church services and in oratorio work. 
 
 ''His literary tastes, inherited from his parents, were cultivated in a high degree; 
 and his books and his studies, which included a knowledge of the German language, 
 taken together with his music, afforded him the greatest enjoyment. 
 
 **From time to time, after the completion of his studies in music abroad, he visited 
 Europe in company with his parents and sisters. Subsequently, together with his 
 mother and sisters, his father having died meanwhile, he made a tour of Alaska. 
 They also visited California several times. 
 
 "The later years of Mr. Griffith's life were spent in New York and Saratoga 
 Springs. In the latter place he identified himself with Bethesda Church, of which 
 he was elected a vestryman, and this office he held up to the time of his decease* 
 He was particularly interested in the work of the choir, and shortly after taking up 
 his residence in Saratoga Springs he became a member of it. He sang in the chorus, 
 and from time to time did special solo work to the great delight and edification of the 
 congregation. 
 
 "He was a most devoted son and brother, a man who loved his home and 
 kindred, one who had a gracious word for his fellowmen, and who was thoroughly 
 loyal to his friends. It was in Saratoga Springs, which was peculiarly dear to him, 
 with his beloved sisters at his bedside, that his spirit, chastened by months of 
 
 no

 J870 and 1910 
 
sickness, in the early morning of July 2, J909, passed from death into life 
 everlasting." 
 
 Besides ** Resolutions of Respect** which were passed by the wardens and vestry- 
 men of Bethesda Church, and which eulogized his generous Christian character, 
 **A Tribute** from the Business Men's Association of Saratoga Springs gave expres- 
 sion to the high esteem in which he was held on account of his deep interest in the 
 affairs of the dty and by reason of his generosity, int^:rity, forceful character, and 
 upright conduct. His pastor spoke of him as a brother **who was a true friend, 
 one on whom you could lean, loyal and devoted. There was a genuineness 
 in his character which was conspicuous, and it may be truly said of him that he 
 was a man in whom was no guile.** 
 
 The Qass can never forget the sweet tones of Griffith's voice, nor the winsome 
 personality of the young man, who with John Ross, Scaife, McCutchen, Perkins 
 and others, did so much for our enjoyment by his gift of song.

GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
 
 fE^NNELL, George Bird Grinnefl was bom in the city of Brooklyn, New 
 York, September 20, 1849. He is the son of George Blake and Helen 
 Alvord (Lansing) Grinnell, and is the ninth in descent from Matthew 
 Grinnefl, who was admitted a freeman of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in 
 1636* Matthew's grandson married Lydia Pabodie, the daughter of Elizabeth Alden, 
 the first white woman bom in New England* On his father's side his ancestors 
 include five signers of the Mayflower Compact, together with their aflied families, 
 six Colonial governors, and other prominent people of former days. Thomas Qap, 
 president of Yale Coflege from J 740 to 1764, was an ancestor. Grinnefl has a 
 teapot that was given President Qap by the students of Yale, marked **cx dono 
 pupiflorum J 745." 
 
 The Lansings, on his mother's side, were in New York in J 640, and not 
 long after moved up above Albany, where they had large holdings and were cafled 
 patroons of Lansingburg. On tlus side he is chiefly Dutch. His grandfather, 
 Dirck Cornelius Lansing, bom at Lansingbut^, New York, in J 775, graduated at 
 Yale in the Qass of J804. 
 
 From the age of six until the year 1909 Grinnefl Hved in the old home at 
 Audubon Park, between 1 56th and J 58th Streets and Broadway and Twelfth 
 Avenue, New York Qty. 
 
 He was prepared for coflege at Churchifl's Military Academy, Sing Sing, New 
 York, and entered the Class Freshman year. He was connected with the foflow- 
 ing societies: Brothers in Unity, Kappa Sigma Epsflon, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, 
 and Scrofl and Key. 
 
 He did not wait for Commencement to receive his degree from the hands of 
 President Woolsey, but went West with other members of the Class, under Pro- 
 fessor Marsh, for exploration. Returning at the end of the year J 870, he entered 
 an office in Wafl Street, New York, where he remained until March, J 874, when 
 he went to New Haven to work in the Peabody Museum. While there he was 
 assistant in Osteology. In J 880 he was obliged to leave the Museum on account of 
 failing health, but not before he had passed his examination for the degree of Doctor 
 of Philosophy, which he received at Commencement of that year. 
 
 Since }880 he has worked as editor and manager of the Forest and Stream 
 Publishing Company, of which he is president. Though a good part of his life has 
 been devoted, as he says, **to making copy for the printer and in writing for the 
 periodical press," yet such work has by no means occupied his entire time. He 
 has been a thorough student of North American Ethnology, a knowledge of 
 which has been largely gained by personal contact with Indian tribes in the West,

whom he has been accustomed to visit annually while exploring, mountain climb- 
 ing, and hunting big game. In 1874 he was naturalist of General G. A. Custer's 
 expedition to the Black Hills, and in J 875, with Dana, he was with General Ludlow 
 in his reconnoitering expedition from Carroll to the Yellowstone National Park. In 
 IS99 he was a member of the Harriman Alaska expedition. His interest in the 
 Indians has elicited their friendship, with the result of his adoption into more than one 
 tribe. In recognition of his influence with them. President Cleveland appointed 
 him a commissioner in 1895 to treat with the Blackfeet and Fort Belknap tribes 
 for portions of their lands in Montana. 
 
 Besides his many contributions to the '* American Journal of Science," the 
 ''Journal of American Folklore,'* the "American Anthropologist,*' and the general

* WILLIAM CURTIS GULLIVER 
 
 JULLIVER, Bom in Norwich, Connecticut, April 8, J847. Died in New- 
 York City, May 24, 190% Son of Rev. John Putnam, DJ)., LLJD. 
 (Yale G>llege, J840), and Frances Woodbury (Curtis) Gulliver. His 
 father was for twenty years the pastor of the Broadway Con§:reg:ationaI 
 Church in Norwich. During the latter part of this pastorate he was a Fellow of 
 Yale University, afterward president of Knox College, and then professor of Andover 
 Theological Seminary. He was descended from Anthony Gulliver, one of the first 
 settlers of Milton, Massachusetts, and from a brother of General Israel Putnam, of 
 Revolutionary fame. 
 
 Our classmate's mother was of the Connecticut family of Curtis and a descend- 
 ant of Governor William Bradford, of Massachusetts. 
 
 ^ ^ <* 
 
 William Curtis Gulliver was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, 
 Massachusetts, and entered with the Class. He was a member of Brothers, Kappa 
 Sigma Epsilon, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Skull and Bones. In Brothers 
 Freshman Pri^e Debate he won the First Prize; won two First Sophomore Compo- 
 sition Prizes; was awarded the Townsend Premium for English Composition, Senior 
 year, and was Seventy's Class Orator. 
 
 In the autumn following graduation he became cashier with MacVeagh and 
 Company, wholesale grocers in Chicago, the members of the firm being Franklin 
 MacVeagh (Yale College, J 862) and Henry C. Bannard (Yale College, 1869), and 
 was also a reporter and correspondent of several newspapers. In 1872 he entered 
 the Columbia Law School and at the same time went into the law office of Alexander 
 and Greene. In J 874 he received his degree of LL.B. from the law school. Of the 
 above firm he was subsequently made a member and continued his connection with 
 it to the end of his life. He was noted for the industry and fidelity with which he 
 served his clients, and was engaged in many important cases, among which were 
 the Income Tax cases in the United States Supreme Court, and the case of People 
 vs. O'Brien in the Court of Appeals. But he preferred to act as adviser, and in 
 many leading interests, financial and legal, his counsel was decisive. 
 
 His social activities were many and varied. He was a member of the Union, 
 Century, University, Qty, Tuxedo, Coaching, Riding, and Garden Qty Golf Qubs, 
 and of the Society of the Mayflower Descendants. 
 
 He was particularly interested in horses all his life, and often served as a ju^e 
 at the annual show in Madison Square Garden. 
 
 After a protracted illness entailing great suffering, which he bore with remark-

WILLIAM C. GULLIVER 
 1870 and J 892 
 
able fortitude, he died, May 24, J909, at his home. No, 8 East Fifty-sixth Street, 
 New York, 
 
 Gulliver came from Andover with a great reputation for ability, and he sustained 
 it while in college to a remarkable degree. None of his classmates would be dis- 
 posed to question the statement that he was one of the most brilliant men among 
 us, as he was one of the most popular. The ease with which he accomplished the 
 things which others attempted to gain, but failed to reach, indicated his unusual 
 ability. What he could have done had he applied himself with the assiduity which 
 marked the efforts of others cannot be determined, but there is no question that his 
 honors would thereby have been considerably multiplied. 
 
 His seemingly untimely taking off was greatly deplored by the Class, who wer^ 
 indeed proud of "Bill" Gulliver. 
 
 The reference which Huntress made to him at our Dinner in I9t0 well voices 
 the feeling of the Class: "When I think of him I can only think of a combination 
 of India rubber and tempered steel; I never saw another quite such a man in my life 
 as he was, did you? You know him, all of you, and did you ever know a man 
 who had the solidity and elasticity, the strength and the purpose and the force that 
 Bill Gulliver had? And he died like a soldier in his armor. And I rejoice and all 
 of you rejoice that we have known him." 
 
 Gulliver was married, March 5, 1878, to Miss Louisa, daughter of Judge Ashbel 
 Green and his wife, Louisa Walker.

CHARLES MERCER HEALD 
 
 3EALD. Bom in Baltimore, Maryland, July 5, 1849. Son of Wiffiam 
 ' and Belinda Eleanor (Simmons) Heald. His father, who was bom in 
 Wilmington, Delaware, November JO, 1788, was a wholesale tobacco 
 commission merchant, and was a descendant of John Heald, the founder 
 of the family in this country. The latter was bom in Berwick, England, and 
 emigrated to Concord, Massachusetts, in 1 635. 
 
 Heald's mother was bom, April I, J8I0, in Frederick County, Maryland. Her 
 father was Colonel John H. Simmons, a land owner or ** squire." He received from 
 the govemor of the state a commission as captain, and served between J 780 and 
 J 790 in the army. 
 
 Charles Mercer Heald was prepared for college in a private school in Baltimore 
 that was tmder the charge of Rev. Edwin Dalrymple. Not until a month before 
 the time for entering with the Freshman class did he plan to enter Yale. He 
 remained -s^dth us until the beginning of Junior year, when the death of his father 
 obliged him to leave college. But in June, J 900, he received from Yale the degree 
 of A,M., thus having his name enrolled as a graduate in the Class of Seventy. His 
 society connections were with Brothers in Unity, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Phi Theta 
 Psi, and Alpha Delta Phi. 
 
 After leaving college he began business in connection with a hardware firmj 
 but soon after, in J87J, he entered upon his career as a railroad man, which he 
 continued to be until 1903, thereby achieving great success and attaining to high 
 positions in the management of some of the great railroads of the United States. 
 Beginning as clerk to the master of transportation of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- 
 road in J 872, he mounted step by step until, in July, 1 88 J, he became general traffic 
 manager of the Long Island Railroad, which position he held tjntil January, 1887. 
 For two years, from February 15, 1887, to January J, 1889, he was assistant to the 
 general manager and general freight agent of the Philadelphia and Reading Road. 
 For a year thereafter he was president of the New York, Susquehanna and Western 
 Railroad. On March I, 1890, he became general manager of the Chicago and 
 West Michigan Railway and the Detroit, Lansing and Northern Railroad, which 
 office he held until January J, J 897, when he became president and general manager 
 of both lines. On January I, J 900, he became president of Pere Marquette Rail- 
 road, a consolidation of the above lines with the Flint and Pere Marquette and other 
 lines, making one of the most important railroad systems of the Middle West. 
 In J 903 he established the Mutual Transit and Terminal Company, a steamship 
 line now operating twelve large steamers on the Great Lakes. I^e is president 
 and general manager of the company.

^WASHINGTON HESING 
 
 ^ESING, Bom at Cincinnati, Ohio, May J4, J849. Son of Anthony 
 Caspar Hesing. His father was bom at Vcchta, in the Duchy of Olden- 
 burg, and came to this country in the early forties. From the position 
 of grocery clerk he worked his way up to owning his own store, when 
 he returned to Germany and married. In the early fifties they came to Chicago, 
 where his political career began. He was known as "Boss Hesing." He is honor- 
 ably remembered as one* of the promoters of the Chicago Park System, in the 
 interest of which he spent a year in Springfield, Illinois, for the passage of the neces- 
 sary legislation. In the early sixties he became the owner of the Illinois **Staats 
 Zeitung," the most influential German paper of the Northwest. 
 
 Washington Hesing received his preparation for college in Chicago, and entered 
 Yale with the Class. He was a member of Brothers and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 In J 873 he received the degree of A.M. from Yale, and in J 895 was honored with 
 an LL.D. by Notre Dame University. 
 
 Hesing's own statement of his career up to March, J 896, may well be repeated 
 as being entirely adequate. He thus gave it: "After graduation I was married in 
 Boston and took my wedding trip to Europe. At the wedding Jack Hewes and 
 Billy Lee were my best men. I traveled a short time, visiting the homes of my 
 motiKer and father, then went to Berlin, where I entered the Berlin University, in 
 October, 1 87 1. I was in Berlin during the whole of the Franco-Prussian War, 
 and enjoyed that memorable period much. In Berlin, and afterwards at Heidelberg, 
 I attended lectures on German literature, history, political economy, science of 
 government, and international law. I was in Berlin six months, then traveled 
 extensively through South Germany, Austria, and all Italy. In the spring of J 871 
 I entered Heidelberg, intending to take my degree. The great Chicago fire in 
 October, J 87 1, called me home. My father having lost everything, and the news- 
 paper in which I was to be interested (as I was preparing myself for the profession 
 of journalism) having been destroyed, I was compelled to begin at the bottom 
 round of the ladder and do any work assigned to me. I have from that day to this 
 been in that profession and no other. In that profession I have filled almost every 
 position, from the reporter to the chief editor. Since the death of my father, just 
 a year ago, I am the president of the corporation, and am also the managing editor 
 of the Illinois 'Staats Zeitung.' My first entrance into public life was in the Grant 
 campaign of 1872, when I stumped for General Grant, making speeches in English 
 and German. That same year I was appointed a member of the Chicago Board 
 of Education, declining a reappointment at the end of my term, but was appointed 
 
 ns 
 
WASHINGTON HESING 
 J 870 and J 897 
 
a member of the county board of education some years thereafter, and was elected 
 president of the same in 1880. The present system of grading German instructions 
 in the public schools in this city was introduced by me while a member of the city 
 board of education. I have never held an elective office. I was unanimously 
 nominated for Gingress in 1874, but declined. In J 886 I made an extended tour 
 through Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Russia, and wrote a series of letters for 
 the Illinois *Staats Zeitung* about those countries. In 1890, when the question of 
 parental right came up in this state, under what was known as the Edwards law, 
 I took a most active part in the campaign of that year. It was due to the persistent 
 hammering away of the Illinois *Staats Zeitung* tfiat this state in J 890, as well as 
 in J 892, elected a Democratic ticket. The issue was the repeal of the Edwards law, 
 which repeal was espoused by the Democratic party and combated by the Repub- 
 lican party. President Cleveland, whom I had assured, if he would incorporate in 
 his letter of acceptance four cardinal points, would carry Illinois in 1892, requested 
 me to accept a Federal position in this city. I declined, as I did not desire any office J 
 but he insisted, and I was appointed postmaster without my solicitation and with- 
 out anybody asking the same for me. I was appointed January, J 894. Since then 
 I have practically given up all my time to my duties as postmaster. It was through 
 my instrumentality that Congress passed a btU appropriating $4,000,000 for a new 
 Federal building in this city. A temporary building was also secured by me, which 
 will be ready for occupancy in two weeks. The entire system of delivering and 
 collecting mail in Chicago has been changed by me, and I have appointed during 
 my term of office about two hundred and twenty-five additional carriers and about 
 three hundred additional clerks. Fifty-nine independent post offices have been 
 abolished and have been made a part of the Chicago post office. I am interested in 
 mjmy public institutions and take part in all matters of public interest." 
 
 That Hesing had ample ground for the satisfaction which he evidently felt over 
 his work as postmaster appears from the resolutions which were passed by the 
 officers of the department in Chicago after his death. They read: 
 
 "Resolved, That we deeply regret the death of Washington Hesing, former 
 postmaster of Chicago, and feel that it involves not only a personal loss to the 
 employees of the post office, but a public loss to the citizens of Chicago. His deep 
 interest in the post office, and the many great improvements effected during his 
 administration, fix his name permanently in the history of the postal service of the 
 country. As an executive officer he was eminently fair and just, and these qualities, 
 together with his many amiable characteristics, gave him the respect and confidence 
 of postal employees in every branch of the service." 
 
 In January, J 897, Hesing announced himself a candidate for the mayoralty of 
 Chicago, "on a platform which denied the right of any set of men to administer the 
 affairs of Chicago for the benefit of either parties or persons." The campaign was 
 
 U9 
 
a hot one, and, contrary to the hopes and expectations which Hesmg felt that he 
 had a right to entertain, resulted in his defeat. The disappointment was a crushing 
 blow, and doubly hard because of the treachery of many whom he had supposed 
 to be his friends. He staggered under it and ^cd, December 18, t897, of heart 
 failure — in other words, of a broken heart. His close friends, Billy Lee, Walter Hull, 
 and Joe Perry, were at his funeral, two of them officiating as pallbearers. 
 
 Hesing's excellent qualities of character are well known to his classmates, who 
 watched his progress and successes with deepest interest, and regret that this loyal 
 son of Yale and honor to the Class of Seventy was not permitted to round out his 
 career with even greater achievements than had fallen to his lot. His last appear- 
 ance before the body of his classmates, at the Silver Anniversary, will not soon be 
 forgotten, his speech on that occasion was so replete with good sense and noble 
 aspiration: qttalities which are said to have characterized his public utterances in 
 Chicago, one of which, on "True American Qtizenship," evinced an exceptionally 
 strong grasp of democratic principles* 
 
 He was a member of various popular clubs, and in J 897 was president of the 
 Press Club and the Yale Alumni Association of Chicago. 
 
 He was married, July 6, t870, to Miss Henrietta C, daughter of Samuel Wier, 
 of Boston, who survives him.

JOHN H. HEWES 
 1870 and J9JJ 
 
JOHN HENRY HEWES 
 
 3EWES, Bom in Cincinnati, Ohio, March 8, J845. Son of John Henry 
 
 and Mary Hewes. Before making his immediate preparation for college 
 
 he had some experience as a soldier, being fourth sergeant of the Fifth 
 
 Kentucky (Union) Regiment. He was fitted to enter Yale at Phillips 
 
 Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and came down with the large contingent who 
 
 did so much to make our Qass one of the largest classes that had ever entered Yale. 
 
 He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, and Psi Upsilon. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 The first year after graduation Hewes devoted to rest and travel He taught 
 for a few months during the following year and then entered the employ of Kittredge 
 and Company, gun and pistol manufacturers of Cincinnati, having always had a 
 fondness for shooting. He remained in connection with the same firm for ten years, 
 when, by reason of a change in it, he went to New York and took a position with 
 Hartley and Graham, at 3t3-3I5 Broadway, representatives of large arms and car- 
 tridge manufacturing companies. . He has continued in the same business, though 
 the name of the firm has been changed, now being known as the M. Hartley 
 Company, of which George Walker Jenkins is president. 
 
 So strictly has Hewes attended to business that the Qass Secretary has been 
 unable to get a line from him, though efforts have been made to secure from his old 
 seatmate some data which might be of interest to the Class. However, his appear- 
 ance at the last two Class meetings, in 1905 and t9I0, gave evidence that the years 
 had not dealt unkindly with him and that his heart is still loyal to the fellows with 
 whom he was deservedly popular while at Yale. 
 
 He was married, January 12, 1875, to Miss Carrie B., daughter of Sylvester 
 and Rhoda (Bachelder) Abbott, of Andover, Massachusetts. She died in Qndnnati, 
 April 24, J 88 J. They were blessed with one daughter, Carrie M., who was bom 
 October 3J, J878. 
 
 Hewes's address is 299-301 Broadway, New York.

LEWIS WILDER HICKS 
 
 (g^^gpiCKS. Bom in CWlton, Massachusetts, November 20, J845. Son of 
 Samuel Prescott and Abigail (Phillips) Hicks. He is a descendant, 
 on his father's side, of Thomas Hicks, who was in Massachusetts in 
 J 644; of the Greens, Champneys, and Sills, of Cambridge? of Nathan 
 Fiske, Isaac Steams, Isaac Learned, Abraham Brown, Edward Garfield, and other 
 early settlers of Watertown; and of Henry Leland, of Sherburne. On his mother's 
 side he is descended from Rev. George Phillips, the first pastor in Watertown, who 
 came over with Govemor Winthrop in J 630 and was the progenitor of the Phillips 
 family, which included Wendell Phillips and the men who established the Phillips 
 academies at Andover, Massachusetts, and Exeter, New Hampshire. He is also 
 a descendant of Rev. Ralph Wheelock, one of the early settlers of Dedham, Massa- 
 chusetts, and the ancestor of the first two presidents of Dartmouth College; of 
 Francis Peabody, Reginald Foster, and William Towne, of Salem; of Samuel 
 Chapin, of Springfield; and of numerous other early settlers of towns near Boston. 
 He numbers more than twenty-five ancestors who were in the Colonial service and 
 several who were in the Revolutionary War.

 Lewis Wilder Hicks was prepared for college in the Worcester, Massachusetts, 
 High School and under a private tutor, Charles A. Chase, Esq., of the same city, 
 and entered with the Class. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, 
 Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon, He was one of the editors of the ** College 
 Courant" and graduated with a Colloquy stand. In 1873 he received the degree 
 of A,M. He is a member of Wolfs Head. 
 
 After graduation he entered the Hartford Theological Seminary, from which 
 he was graduated in J 874, having been compelled to give up his studies for a year 
 on account of ill health. On September JO, 1874, he was ordained to the Christian 
 ministry and installed over the First Congregational Church in Woodstock, Ver- 
 mont, where he remained until 1 88 J, when he accepted a call to become the pastor 
 of the historic First Church of Christ in Wcthersfield, Connecticut. Here, too, he 
 remained seven years, until a throat affection necessitated a change of residence. 
 By the recommendation of a friend in Colorado, he was called by the First Con- 
 gregational Church of Pueblo to be their pastor. He went there in October, 1888, 
 where he regained his health. But the altitude so seriously affected the health of 
 Mrs. Hicks that, in 1890, he was obliged to leave his charge, but not before he had 
 been instrumental in building a new and tasteful stone edifice. After leaving Colo- 
 rado they spent about one and one-half years in Denison, Texas, where Hicks took 
 charge of a young Congregational church and erected a chapel for the growing 
 congregation. In the spring of J 892 he retumed to New England, and in the

 ky, Massachusetts. Here he remained until the summer of J 896, when, partly 
 owing to his poor health, brought on by an attack of the grip, and partly to an invi- 
 tation from an aged uncle to care for him during his declining years, he resigned 
 his Wellesley pastorate and took up his residence in Hartford, Connecticut. He 
 remained there until the death of Mr. Phillips, and then returned to Wellesley, in

 was a prominent business man and a member of the city government 
 in 1 867-1 868. The Hoadley family trace their ancestry back in this country to 
 William Hoadley, who was in Saybrook, Connecticut, in 1663, was made a free- 
 man in 1669, and represented his town in the General Assembly for nine sessions, 
 from t678 to J685.

 Frederick Hodges Hoadley was prepared for college at the Hopkins Grammar 
 School, New Haven, and entered Sixty-nine, with which he remained until the first 
 term of Senior year, when ill health compelled him to give a year to rest and travel. 
 He entered our Qass Senior year and graduated with us. He was a member of 
 Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. 
 
 After graduation he was in business with his father for a year, and then went 
 abroad with his mother. On his return he pursued a course of study in the Yale 
 Medical School, from which he received his degree in 1876. "After several years 
 of study of comparative anatomy and paleontology under Professor Marsh, he com- 
 menced the practice of medicine in New York Qty, and was for a year and a half 
 on the house staff of the Woman's Hospital in the state of New York, comer of 
 Forty-ninth Street and Lexington Avenue, leaving it in J 879. He went to Europe 
 in pursuit of gynecological studies; but, his health breaking down, he took an exten- 
 sive tour in Egypt (as far as Khartum) and Palestine, returning by way of Con- 
 stantinople and Greece. He came back to America in January, t88J, and spent the 
 next year in the Adirondacks. In May, J 882, he went to the Arctic on the steamer 
 * Neptune,' as medical officer and chief of the scientific corps of the first Greely relief 
 expedition. They failed to get farther north than the mouth of Kennedy Channel, 
 latitude 80° 20', and were not able to communicate with Greely, the main object of 
 the expedition. Returning in November, 1882, he was for two or three years at the 
 Smithsonian Institution in Washington, engaged in scientific work, especially eth- 
 nology and ornithology, as pertaining to the Arctic region, and particularly to Alaska. 
 For the next few years he traveled extensively, and in April, J 890, resumed the 
 practice of medicine in New York. 
 
 "He had for some time complained of heart trouble, which interfered with his 
 engaging in active practice. At the time of his death he was at Palm Beach, Lake 
 Worth, Florida, where he had expected to pass the winter. He was apparently 
 wen and in the best of spirits up to within forty-eight hours before he died, when 
 
 J25 
 
he was attacked with a sudden chill and high fever. He died at Hotel Pomcianna^ 
 February 25, 1895. 
 
 ^'Hoadley was a Fellow of the American Geological Society, a member of the 
 American Association for the Advancement of Science, and one of the original 
 founders of the Linnacan Society of New York, He had made various contributions 
 to both American and foreign journals on scientific subjects, especially those relatii^ 
 to Arctic exploration; and he printed privately, in J 893, a volume entitled, 'Human 
 Discords,' treating of the connection between the mental, moral, and physical proc- 
 esses in the human body. His last work was an elaborate paper on the 'Epidemic 
 of Yellow Fever in New Haven in J 874,* read before the New Haven G)Iony 
 Historical Society." 
 
 Of fine presence, courteous bearing, sympathetic nature and cultured mind, 
 he won his way to the hearts of all who knew him intimately, and left the world 
 the poorer by reason of his early departure from it.

WALTER S. HULL 
 )870 and 191 J 
 
WALTER SCOTT HULL 
 
 JULL, Bom in Industry (Delhi), Ohio, March J3, J847. Son of Colonel 
 James Standiford and Eflen (Long) HuIL His father was bom in North 
 Bend, Ohio, August J2, J82I, and was the son of John Hull, of English 
 stock that settled in Virginia, and Mary Standiford, of the Welsh Standi- 
 ford family that settled near Baltimore, Maryland, Colonel Hull was at first a 
 trader, shipping provisions from Cincinnati to New Orleans by "flat boat," on the 
 Ohio River J afterwards was a farmer, having carved a farm from the primeval 
 forest in Ripley County, Indiana. He represented his county as senator in the 
 Indiana Legislature; entered the Union Army in 1 86 J; was colonel of the Thirty- 
 seventh Indiana Infantry until he was severely wounded in the Battle of Stone River. 
 Thereafter he served as president of the Military Examining Board for the Depart- 
 ment of the Cumberland. He settled in Nashville, Tennessee, after the Qvil War, 
 and died December t9, J876. 
 
 Hull's mother was bom in Sharpsburg, Kentucky, February JO, J 825. She 
 was a daughter of James and Eliza Switzer Long, both Protestant Irish, who 
 emigrated from County Limerick, Ireland. 
 
 Hull tells us that his early youth was that of the ordinary farmer boy, except 
 for the fact, of which he is very proud, that for two years, when only twelve to 
 fourteen years of age, he drove three yoke of oxen, hauling logs from the Indiana 
 farm to a sawmill two miles away, which gave him a great reputation among the 
 farmers for miles around. 
 
 Walter Scott Hull's schooling, of a collegiate character, began at the Indiana State 
 University at Bloomingtonj but yielding to the war fever, which was then at its 
 height, he ran away from school and without his parents' consent enlisted in the 
 Union Army, serving as a private soldier in Company F of his father's regiment. 
 FaiKng in health, he was transferred to the Quartermaster's Department for the 
 Department of the Cumberland, where he became chief voucher clerk for the depart- 
 ment under Colonel Charles H. Lrvin, and under the latter's command was on the 
 firing line at the Battle of Nashville. 
 
 ^ r* ^ 
 
 Hull was fitted, or, as he puts it, **was unfitted," for Yale at Ypsilanti, Mich- 
 igan, The preparation there received was such that Hull expresses himself as 
 extremely grateful to the Yale faculty that he was permitted to land a Colloquy. 
 
 He entered Yale with the Class and was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma 
 Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. The third term. Sophomore 
 year, he took the Third Prize in English Composition and graduated with a Colloquy 
 
 stand. 
 
 J27 
 
After graduation Hull went to New York and obtained employment in a com- 
 mercial news agency, which sent him to Liverpool to report the grain, provision, and 
 cotton markets. While there, because of the agency's failure in business, he was left 
 stranded without any means to return to America, Determined to paddle his own 
 canoe without asking his parents for help, he secured employment on an Allan Line 
 steamship to pay for passage back to New York, Landing there with no money, 
 he soon got employment with the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company at the 
 Produce Exchange, carrying messages to and from the floor of the Exchange, at a 
 salary of five dollars per week. From there he was transferred to Chicago and made 
 receiving clerk at the company's main office. After the Chicago fire of I87J, he 
 became manager of the company's office for West Chicago, at a good salary which 
 far exceeded his expectations. He had saved the company's books and records, while 
 his own belongings at his boarding house were burned up. 
 
 Then came the trial of Hull's life. He had been devoting his spare hours to 
 reading law, and he had to decide whether to retain his then good salaried position 
 or go into a law office at seven dollars per week. He reluctantly chose the latter 
 course, and became clerk and studied in the law office of Stephen F, Brown, 
 
 In 1874, unaided by the advantages of any law school, Hull successfully passed 
 his legal examination before the Supreme Court of Illinois and was admitted to the 
 bar, Li 1876 he became a partner of Mr, Brown, under the firm name of Brown 
 and HulL Some years thereafter, Mr, Brown dying, Hull succeeded to the clientage 
 of the firm, and from that time on he has been practicing law at the Chicago Bar, 
 His practice is devoted to no specialty, but it is as a trial lawyer that he most enjoys 
 his profession. In this capacity he is frequently retained by other lawyers as associate 
 counsel in the trial of cases, 
 
 Li politics Hull is a Republican and has always affiliated with his party more or 
 less actively. He has, however, never stood as a candidate for any political office 
 except twice, when he was elected as alderman for two successive terms in the Qty 
 Council of Chicago, 
 
 Hull was married, September 30, 1885, to Genevieve Lafayette, dat^hter of 
 Narcisse Antoine Lafayette and granddaughter of Edward P, Woodworth, of Great 
 Barrington, Massachusetts,

EDWARD S. HUME 
 1870 and 1905 
 
* EDWARD SACKETT HUME 
 
 i^^^UME. Bom in Bombay, India, June 4, J848. Died January JO, J908. 
 Son of Robert Wilson and Hannah (Derby) Hume, missionaries of the 
 American Board. His grandfather knew and was related to David Hume, 
 the historian; and his grandmother, Katharine Rose, was related to 
 
 Christopher North. 
 
 He was fitted for college at the Hopkins Grammar School in New Haven and 
 entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of Brothers and Gamma Nu. The 
 Third Prize in English Composition was taken by him the second term of Sopho- 
 more year; and the Third Prize, Freshman, and the Second Prize, Sophomore, 
 Brothers Prize Debate, were also awarded him. He graduated with a Dissertation 
 stand. In July, J892, he received the degree of A.M. from his Alma Mater. 
 
 After graduation Hume taught for two years in Millbury, Massachusetts, where 
 he was principal of the High School. He then entered the Theological Seminary 
 in Hartford, where he not only took a high stand, but was also a successful teacher in 
 Miss Catherine Beecher's School and in the Hartford High School, and later as a 
 private tutor of a young man. Efforts were made to retain him in this country 
 as superintendent of the Hartford public schools, at a salary of $3,000, and in a pro- 
 fessorship; but he had made up his mind to return to India, to take up the work for 
 which his father had given his life. Directly after graduating from the seminary he 
 was married to Miss Charlotte E. Chandler, a sister of our John Chandler, and the 
 two sailed for Bombay, where they remained up to the time of Hume's death, with 
 the exception of two years which were given to needed rest and change of climate 
 in the United States. 
 
 One who was qualified to speak of their work in India wrote: "They have 
 worked most ardently and untiringly. No brief record can give any adequate idea 
 of the varied calls upon a missionary's strength and resources in a great heathen 
 city like Bombay, nor the immense opportunities for varied usefulness. But I must 
 speak of two lines in which Mr. Hume has given his first and best energies, and 
 which he has had the joy of seeing greatly prosper under his care. One of these 
 is a large day and boarding school for the children of native Christians, which he 
 and Mrs. Htime founded and have developed to a high degree of efficiency and 
 usefulness. This school has elicited such high commendations from visiting mis- 
 sionaries and American clergymen, from Indian Christians and English officials, that 
 Mr. and Mrs. Hume would, I think, be justified in some feeling of thankful pride in 
 their cherished institution. Another work into which he has thrown his whole 
 heart has been the development of the native Bcanbay church, especially in the train- 
 ing of its members in voluntary Christian work. It is safe to say that the fidelity, 
 
 J29 
 
generosity, and self-sacrifidng spirit of the members of that East Lidian church 
 would put to shame many of our home churches." To the important work thus 
 afluded to, Hume was cafled upon to add the care of hundreds of children who had 
 been orphaned by the terrible famines which had prevailed in Ibdia — a burden that 
 well-nigh overwhelmed both Hume and his devoted and most efficient wife. In 
 order to prepare these children for self-support, he had them taught trades, and with 
 such success that several of them were employed to decorate some of the art buildings 
 of the Delhi Durbar. 
 
 Besides being stoned by Mussulmans, as reported in the Decennial Record, 
 Hume had the cholera, and anasmia undermined his constitution for years, indeed 
 until his death in New York, January 10, J908. He was appointed a Fellow of 
 the Bombay University in 1900, and in 1903 was offered the position of Vice-Consul 
 of the United States at Bombay. For thirteen years he was the valued secre- 
 tary of the Bombay Bible Society. His literary work included **A Memorial of 
 Ethan Chapin, of Springfield, Massachusetts," the editorship at times of **Dnyano- 
 daya" (Rise of Knowledge), and membership of the committee for the translation 
 of the Marathi Bible. 
 
 The following testimony of one of his fellow-missionaries, who from childhood 
 up had known and honored Edward Hume, will be recognized by the Qass as a true 
 portraiture of the character of our honored and lamented classmate: "Gentle, genial, 
 gifted, patient, persevering, friendly, forgiving, a scholar, a teacher, a preacher, an 
 organizer, a winsome Christian, a loving, helpful brother to all — and many more 
 good and great qualities there were, and still are, we may say, in this depzirted 
 founder and builder of the Byculla Marathi Mission Schools. The grateful appre- 
 ciation which countless Indian Christians, missionaries, and officials, whom his 
 spirit touched, have felt and spoken anew since January 10, the sad day of the sad 
 message, is not paralleled in my sixteen years' connection with the mission. 
 
 "Mr. Hume's mental fitness and his spiritual-mindedness were of no ordinary 
 quality. Seldom have I seen such strength of manhood combining these two sides. 
 . . . Illness, weakness, weariness, restrained him little or not at all; shortage of time, 
 funds, materials, or equipment baffled him not; the need appealed to him, and he 
 went on to meet it, cost what it might. . . . Though dead he yet speaks; though 
 gone, yet he works on. 
 
 "As a man among men, and a missionary among many, he revealed the ways 
 of Jesus, he lived by the help of Jesus, and shares with Jesus, who was the Master 
 of his life, the life which death does not end. The faith and the hope and the 
 love in his character always will abide." 
 
 Hume's marriage to Miss Charlotte Elizabeth Chandler, daughter of Rev. John 
 E. Chandler, a missionary of the American Board in Madura, Southern Lidia, 
 occurred July 21, 1875.

GEORGE LEWIS HUNTRESS 
 
 HUNTRESS, Bom in Lowell, Massachusetts, Aprfl 4, 1847, son of James 
 Lewis and Harriet (Page) Huntress. 
 
 Huntress is of pure New England descent, and throt^h both his 
 father and mother traces his ancestry back to the provincial and Gilonial 
 days. Through his father's mother, Safly Huntress (bom Safly Chesley), the 
 family goes back to the Furbers and Chesleys of Durham and Newington, New 
 Hampshire, then a province, including among the number General Richard Furber, 
 Ensign Richard Furber, Captain Samuel Furber, and Captain Theodore Furber, of 
 whom Richard Furber was an officer in the Colonial Wars, and the other three 
 officers in the Continental Army during the Revolution. 
 
 Throt^h his mother, Hzirriet (Page) Huntress, the line goes back to Benfamin 
 Page, bom in Durham, England, in J 640, who settled in Haverhill, Massachusetts, 
 in 1660, 
 
 In the fourth generation from above in direct line, William Page married 
 Hannah Heath in J 766. 
 
 One of the children of this marriage, David, was the father of Harriet Page. 
 
 The mother of Harriet was Elizabeth Stinson, the daughter of William San- 
 son, who was bom in Dunbarton, Scotland, in 1725, came to America in 1749, and in 
 1 75 1, with nine other gentlemen, obtained a grant of a township in what is now 
 Merrimack County, New Hampshire, to which was given the name of Dunbarton, 
 naming it for the home of the Scotch ancestors of the Stinsons and Starks. 
 
 The great-great-uncle and the great-great-grandfather of Huntress, Captain 
 David Page and Major Caleb Page, respectively, carried the King's commission 
 under Wolfe at Quebec, and served under Ethan Allen at Ticonderoga and under 
 Stark at Bennington as officers in the Continental Army. 
 
 Hannah Dustin, famous in Colonial history and celebrated in story for killing her 
 Indian captors and saving herself and her children from captivity, was the grand- 
 daughter of Benjamin Page, the first of the name to settle in America. 
 
 ^ ^ /f 
 
 Huntress fitted for college at Andover and entered Yale with the Class. He 
 was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and 
 Scroll and Key. He won the First Prize, Sophomore, and the Third Prize, Junior, 
 in Linonia Prize Debates. After graduation from college he entered the Harvard 
 Law School. From there, in J 872, he went into the law offices of Ives and Lincoln 
 in Boston. Both Mr. Ives and Mr. Lincoln were among the most prominent 
 lawyers at the Suffolk Bar. In 1875 he was admitted into the firm, which then took 
 the name of Ives, Lincoln and Huntress. On the death of Mr. Ives, in 1882, the 
 
 132

firm was dissolved. Some years later he associated with himself Homer Albers, of 
 the Suffolk Bar. This firm was discontinued in J 909. Huntress has now no 
 partner. His offices are now and have been for the last twenty years in the Sears 
 Building on Washington Street, at the head of State Street, in Boston. 
 
 Up to J 885 his practice was of a general nature, although through his connection 
 with the firm, who were counsel for the large railroads running east and north from 
 Boston, he became identified with the railroad business, and for several years was 
 more or less engaged in acting for these corporations. Upon the dissolution of the 
 firm on the death of Mr. Ives his practice changed to some extent. From J 885 
 until after 1900 he was largely engaged in trade-mark litigation in behalf of New 
 England proprietary houses and manufacturers whose trade-marks and trade names 
 were being infringed, and as counsel for these clients he has tried cases in the United 
 States Circuit Gaurts in seven out of the nine circuits. Since about J900 his clients 
 have consisted principally of manufacturing, mining, and business corporations. 
 
 In his early life he made a brief but fairly successful excursion into politics, but 
 after a few years* experience, having served as a member of the city government 
 and on the Republican Qty and State Committees, abandoned politics altogether, 
 and has since devoted himself to his profession. 
 
 He has been more or less prominent in the Yale contingent in Boston and 
 vicinity, has been president of the Yale Alumni Association, and has always 
 been interested in all athletic sports. He has faithfully followed the intercollegiate 
 races and the football games. 
 
 Of late years his connection with large corporations has called him away to 
 some extent from the general practice of the profession, and he has become iden- 
 tified with these corporations as advisory counsel, and in many of them as an 
 official. 
 
 He is now president of the North River Lumber Company of Nova Scotia; 
 of the Jerguson Manufacturing Company of Massachusetts; Boston and Bolivia 
 Rubber Company of Boston and Bolivia, South America; New iStna Portland 
 Cement Company of Michigan; Peerless Knitting Mills Company of Massachu- 
 setts; a director and member of the executive committee of the Queensboro- 
 Boston Corporation of Massachusetts, and president of the Yuba Consolidated 
 Gold Fields of California, which is reported to be the most valuable gold dredging 
 property in the world. 
 
 On September 30, 1875, he was married to Julia A. Poole, of Metuchen, 
 New Jersey. The wedding ceremony was performed by McClure. After his 
 marriage he took up his residence in Boston, where he lived until J 884, in which 
 year he removed to Winchester, Massachusetts, a suburb about eight miles from 
 the city, and there he has since resided.

HENRY L. HUTCHINS 
 J870 and J 897 
 
* HENRY LEARNED HUTCHINS 
 
 g^ggUTCHINS. Bom in Brooklyn, Connecticut, February 8, J845. Died 
 February 26, J9034 Son of James Spaulding and JuKa Maria Hutchins. 
 
 He entered Yale with the Qass, having received his preparation at the Qeve- 
 land High School. He was a member of Brothers and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 After graduation he studied theology in the Yale Divinity School, from which 
 he was graduated in 1873, and received the degree of BD. He immediately became 
 pastor of the Taylor Congregational Church of New Haven, which position he held 
 until January, J 880, when, on account of impaired health, he removed with his 
 family to Northern Michigan, taking charge of two Congregational churches at East 
 Tawas and Tawas Qty. In J 882 he went further West, with a view to settling 
 where his life might be still more productive of good. He arrived at Gunnison Qty, 
 on the Pacific slope of the Rocky Mountains, in October, and soon organized a 
 church of the Congregational order. The following January he came East for his 
 family, whom he had taken to New Haven at the time of leaving Michigan. But 
 he had hardly established them in the new home before there came to him a succes- 
 sion of bitter experiences in the loss, within a month, of all four of his children. 
 After this great trial of his faith he remained in Gunnison for a year and a half, 
 building a house and a church, at the expiration of which time he was called East 
 by the illness of his mother. For nine months he remained in Boston, occupying 
 his time in city mission work. He then became pastor of the Congregational church 
 of North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, where he 6id faithful service for five years. 
 After that he served the historic church in Kensington, Connecticut, for three yezirs, 
 where he did what he called **the most successful work of his life.*' Then the 
 Taylor Church of New Haven, which he had formerly served, prevailed upon him 
 to return to them. He went there in J 89 1 and remained until 1896, when he engaged 
 in work in connection with the Connecticut Bible Society, superintending canvass- 
 ing work in several towns, and collecting statistics which were of great value to 
 religious workers. While thus engaged he was suddenly stricken down in a New 
 Haven office, February 26, 1903, and entered into his reward. 
 
 Hutchins was a most conscientious man, one who lived out the things which 
 he professed to believe. His own words respecting his life best reveal his character. 
 He wrote: ''It is simply a record 'mediocre* at best. By no means, however, a life 
 of discontent, thot^h filled with disappointments. It has been a success in one par- 
 ticular — of proving God in his rich promises and the power of the gospel to save. 
 It has confirmed me in a faith in the divine mission of man on earth, and the ultimate 
 victory of righteousness and glory of God's kingdom."

FRANK FANNING JEWETT 
 
 ^EWETT. Bom at Newton Comer, Massachusetts, January 8, J844. 
 His father was Charles Jewett, a physician, bom at Lisbon, Connecticut, 
 September 5, 1807. He pursued the study of medicine in tiie Medical 
 Institute at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and practiced medicine in East 
 Greenwich and in Providence, Rhode Island. After eleven years of practice. 
 Dr. Jewett left the medical profession and for more than forty years devoted him- 
 self to the temperance reform movement, spending most of his time in the New 
 England States. 
 
 The founder of the Jewett family in this country was Edward Jewett, who came 
 to America from Lincolnshire, England, in )638, and settled in Rowley, Massachu- 
 setts. His grandson Eleazar moved to Griswold, Connecticut, and founded Jewett 
 Qty. 
 
 Jewett's mother's name before marriage was Lucy Adams Tracy. She was 
 bom in Lisbon, Connecticut, September 21, 1811, and was descended from Captain 
 Miles Standish, who came to America in the '^ Mayflower '^ in 1620. His son 
 Josiah moved to Norwich, Connecticut, in 1686, and from this man was descended 
 Lucy Adams, who married Fanning Tracy, Jewett's grandfather. Fanning Tracy 
 himself was graduated from Yale as valedictorian of the Qass of 1796. Through 
 another branch of the Tracy family Jewett is descended from William Bradford, 
 governor of the Plymouth Colony. 
 
 <* ^ ^ 
 
 Frank Fanning Jewett began his preparation for college in a private school in 
 Philadelphia in J 864, and finished his preparation in the Norwich Free Academy. 
 He entered the Qass of Seventy as Freshman in J 866. He was a member of 
 Gamma Nu during Freshman year? of Alpha Delta Phi from the beginning of Junior 
 year, and of Brothers throughout the course. At graduation he received an election 
 to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. His stand was that of an Oration. 
 
 After graduation he taught two years in the Norwich Free Academy, then 
 returned to New Haven and studied Chemistry and Mineralogy in the Sheffield 
 Scientific School for a year; took the degree of AM,, and then resumed his position 
 at Norwich. The following year he went to Germany, where he studied Chemistry 
 and Physics for a year. On his return he was invited to become private assistant 
 to Dr. Wolcott Gibbs, of Harvard University, and while filling this position, in 
 January of J 877, he received an appointment as professor of Chemistry in the 
 Imperial University of Tokyo, Japan, which position he held until the summer of J 880, 
 when he was called to the professorship of Chemistry and Mineralogy in Oberlin 
 College, Oberlin, Ohio, a position which he still holds.

 J870 and I9H 
 
After fifteen years of continued service in Oberlin, during the last year of which 
 he served as dean of the college, he was granted a year's leave of absence with 
 continued full salary. The year was spent in travel and in study, during the winter 
 months, under Professor Liebermann at the University of Berlin. 
 
 In 1877 he was made a member of the German Chemical Society, and he is 
 also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and 
 of the American Chemical Society. For eight years he was a member of the 
 Town Council and is now the president of its Board of Public Affairs. 
 
 His published works are, **Tables of Qualitative Chemical Analysis'' and "A 
 Laboratory Manual of General Chemistry." 
 
 He was married in Japan, July 30, 1880, to Miss Frances, daughter of Luther 
 Halsey Gulick, MJD., missionary in Japan and China. One child, Charles, was 
 bom to them July 18, 1884. He died in infancy.

*ROSS JOHNSTON 
 
 ' OHNSTON. Bom at Allegheny Gty, Pennsylvania, September J, J848. 
 Died March tJ, 1885. Son of Frank Johnston, Esq., and Mary E. 
 Anderson. His father was a graduate of Yale, Class of J 835. His 
 grandfather, a highly respected merchant of Philadelphia, was also a Yale 
 graduate; and his great-grandfather, Gilonel Francis Johnston, was an officer in the 
 Revolutionary Army. Johnston's mother was a niece of James Ross, one of the 
 most distinguished lawyers of his day and a Senator in the national Congress. 
 
 Ross Johnston was fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachu- 
 setts, and entered Yale with the Qass. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, 
 Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Skull and Bones. 
 
 Though possessed of ample means, he did not propose to live an idle life, but 
 after graduation prepared himself for a business career by connecting himself with 
 the well-known boot and shoe house of H. Childs and Company, of Pittsburg. In 
 1872 he was engaged in business in Chicago. From J 873 to 1876 he traveled 
 extensively in Europe. On his return he bought an interest in the business of 
 H. Childs and Company, the junior partner of which had been his playmate from 
 childhood and his companion at school. After his marriage, in 1879, he made a 
 prolonged stay abroad, during which he visited Egypt, where he had an attack of 
 malarial fever that lasted for several months, and which is believed to have weakened 
 his constitution. During the winter of J880-J88J he resided in New York, but 
 early in the following spring he went back to Pittsburg, where he remained up to 
 the time of his death. He died of gastritis, March J J, J 885, at Old Point Comfort, 
 whither he had gone with his family but two weeks before in the enjoyment of his 
 usual health. His business partner and warm friend speaks of him on this wise: "It 
 is needless for me to say a word to his classmates in regard to his character, except 
 to ten them that the fifteen years that have elapsed since you parted with him only 
 made him more gentle, more kindly, more considerate, and if possible more generous 
 than before. It has been my good fortune to sit side by side with him daily for 
 over nine years, except when he was absent from home, and I can unhesitatingly 
 say that, taking him all in all, a more perfect, thoroughbred, honorable, and square 
 fellow never lived; and if there was an objectionable quality in his entire make-up, 
 I failed to discover it in our thirty odd years of acquaintance and twenty of 
 friendship.'* 
 
 The "Pittsburg Gazette" said of him: "He possessed the refined and cultivated 
 taste which was characteristic of his family. He was quiet and unobtrusive in his 
 manner, but warm in his friendships and decided in his convictions. He had a 
 
 140 
 
ROSS JOHNSTON 
 1870 and 1879 
 
keen sense of humor, and was a delightful companion to those who were fortunate 
 enough to know him intimately. His range of reading was extensive, and he did 
 not fail to appreciate and improve the means and leisure always at his command. 
 He almost instinctively knew the wheat from the chaff, whether in literature, art, 
 music, society, or politics. Though fond of the quiet of his own library and the 
 charm of his own circle, he took a lively interest in current events at home and 
 abroad, and felt great pride in the prosperity of his native city, county, and state. 
 It can truly be said of Ross Johnston that he was not only by birth, education, and 
 association, but by nature and at heart, a gentleman in the best sense of the word." 
 Nothing need be added to these tributes from those who knew Johnston so well, for 
 they must convey to the minds of those of his classmates who were most closely 
 associated with him at Yale a true picture of what he was when we knew him. 
 
 At the time of his death he was a member of the Duquesne and Pittsburg Qubs 
 of Pittsburg and the University Qub of New York. He was an Episcopalian. 
 
 He was married, September 18, 1879, to Miss Anna D., the only daughter of 
 Thomas L. Blair, Esq., of Pittsburg. She has since been married to Mr, Harvey 
 Childs, Jr., of the Class of I87I, Yale. 
 
 One child, Vii^finia Blair by name, was bom to Mr. and Mrs. Johnston on 
 July 6, J88I. She was married, December 9, J903, to Mr. Henry Fra0er Harris, 
 of Philadelphia. A son was bom, August 20, 19 10, to Mr. and Mrs. Harris, who 
 has been named for our classmate, Ross Johnston Harris.

ROBERT KELLY 
 
 JELLY. Bom in New York Gty, December 26, J848, at No. 9 West 
 Sixteenth Street, a house built by his father and still occupied by his 
 sister. Son of Robert and Arietta A. (Hutton) Kelly. His grandfather, 
 Robert Kelly, was bom in the little town of Bailieborough, G)unty Cavan, 
 Ireland, in 1767. He was forced to leave the country on account of his connection 
 with the revolution of which Robert Enunet was the head, and arrived in New 
 York in J 796. He then engaged in the jobbing and dry goods business, in which 
 he continued until 18 19. He married Margaret Shannon in J 803, and Robert Kelly, 
 our classmate's father, was bom December, 1808. He was educated in New York 
 and graduated at G)lumbia at the head of his class, in 1826. He then joined his 
 brothers in business, in which he continued until 1836, when he retired. In 1 84 1 
 he married Arietta A. Hutton, of Rhinecliff-on-Hudson, who was the daughter of 
 George Hutton and Elizabeth Smedes. A brother of her father was an officer in the 
 War of the Revolution and one of the founders of the Society of the Cincinnati. 
 
 Robert's father, after his retirement from business, devoted himself to literary 
 pursuits and was active in a number of philanthropic projects. He was one of the 
 founders of the Column, later the Century Club. At the time of his death he was 
 president of the Free Academy of the Qty of New Yorkj president of the Board of 
 Managers of the New York House of Refuge; vice-president of the Bank of Savings 
 for Merchants Qerksj and a trustee of the New York University and of the Uni- 
 versities of -Madison and Rochester, New York. He was also trustee of the Clinton 
 Hall Association and of the New York Society Library? a regent of the University 
 of the State and chamberlain of the city of New York. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Robert Kelly was fitted for college at Dwight School, New York, which was 
 situated on Broadway, just above Twenty-seventh Street; and entered a Freshman 
 in the Class of Seventy. He was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Psi Upsilon, 
 and Scroll and Key, and graduated with a Colloquy. 
 
 In the fall of 1870 he entered the Columbia Law School, at the same time enter- 
 ing a law office. In the spring of I87I he went abroad in a sailing vessel with 
 James B. Vamum, of Sixty-eight, spent the summer traveling on the Continent, and 
 returned in the fall, intending to continue his course at the Law School, but had 
 to go to England to take care of his uncle, William Kelly, of Rhinebeck-on-Hudson, 
 who went over on account of his health and died there during the winter. He re- 
 turned with his family in the spring. He then went back to the Law School in the 
 fall and completed the course, took the degree of LL.B. and was admitted to the bar 
 in June, J 873. That same year he received the degree of M.A. from Yale. 
 
 J43 
 
In September, J 873, he married Mabel McQellan Silliman, fotirth daughter of 
 Professor B. Silliman, of Yale. They resided in New York, but he did not continue 
 to practice law, as he had to devote his time to matters connected with his uncle's 
 estate, especially some iron companies in Pennsylvania and Ohio, This continued 
 until 1886, when, through the failure of some of the companies he was interested in, 
 he lost what property he had and had to start out all anew* About that time he 
 moved to Hastings-on-Hudson, and continued to live there until 1892. For the first 
 two years he had no very permanent occupation. He was a manager of the New 
 York House of Refuge and in 1888 was appointed superintendent of industries of that 
 institution, where he remained until the summer of J 892, when he accepted the posi- 
 tion of business manager of the West Superior Iron and Steel Company, of West 
 Superior (now Superior), Wisconsin, and moved there with his family in December 
 of that year. He has been connected with that property ever since, except for about 
 six months in J 896, when he went to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to superintend 
 the erection of a blast furnace. In the fall of 1896 he returned to Superior, at the 
 special request of Robert dePorest, to become general manager of the Land and River 
 Gsmpany, which was the original owner of the town site and is still a very large 
 holder of property in the city. He has continued in Superior ever since, taking an 
 active part in the affairs of the city. At present he is general manager of the Land 
 and River Gimpany, and agent for a number of people and estates having large 
 interests here. He is resident manager of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and 
 Foundry Company, and now engaged in the manufacture of cast iron pipe. He 
 is vice-president of the First National Bank, president of the Country Club, and 
 chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners, and in the latter capacity is taking 
 a great interest in the establishment and development of the city's parks and 
 boulevards*

JOHN CALVIN KENDALL 
 
 JENDALL. Bom in Ridgcficid, Connecticut, March 19, t847. Son of 
 Calvin H. and Jane A. (Roy) KendalL His paternal ancestors, on both 
 sides, came to this country from Great Britain soon after the coming of 
 the "Mayflower": Francis Kendall from England, who settled in Wobum, 
 Massachusetts, where he was proprietor of a mill in J 640; and Peter Branch from 
 County Kent, England. The latter was living in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, 
 even earlier than 1640* 
 
 Kendall's father was a native of Richmond, Massachusetts, and a graduate of 
 the Berkshire Medical Institution at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in J 843. 
 
 His mother was bom in Warwick, New York. Her paternal grandparents 
 emigrated from the region of the Moray Firth, Scotland, in the latter part of the 
 eighteenth century. Her maternal line were of the English family of Wood, heirs of 
 the Wood estate. 
 
 John Calvin Kendall was prepared for college at Williston Seminary, East- 
 hampton, Massachusetts, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of 
 Brothers and Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and graduated with a Dispute stand. 
 
 After graduation Kendall found it necessary to defer his preparation for his 
 chosen profession for a while, so that it was not until March, J 875, that he took 
 his degree of M J), from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York Qty. 
 By competitive examination he then received an appointment to the house staff in 
 Bellevue Hospital, where he remained for a period of eighteen months. During 
 the first year of this service he held the next subordinate position to Welch. After 
 a short dispensary service in New York he settled down to practice in Norwalk, 
 Connecticut. In December, J 884, he removed to the beautiful town of Norfolk, Con- 
 necticut, the birthplace of "Billy" Welch, where for nearly eight years he was 
 associated with Welch's father in the practice of medicine, and where he has con- 
 tinued in the same laudable work up to the present time. For some dozen years 
 he has been town health officer, and for a longer period has served on the school 
 board. For two years he has been president of the County Medical Association, 
 the oldest association of the kind in this country. 
 
 He has written on professional subjects for county and state societies, has pre- 
 pared papers for publication in professional journals and frequently sundry articles 
 on subjects of local interest (some of importance, as on hydrophobia) in daily papers, 
 titles of which he has failed to report. 
 
 He was married. May 4, J 878, to Miss Marie Hartig, who traces her ancestry 
 back to the beginning of her native city, Muelhausen, Alsace, when it was only a mill

 Cyrus Hamilton was graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School in )903. 
 He took second and third year honors and was invited to enter the service of the 
 General Electric Company, of Schenectady, New York, by recommendation of 
 the faculty* He rose rapidly in the esteem of the managers, and after a year was 
 appointed a foreman* While assisting a workman in adjusting test apparatus he 
 received a fatal shock, and died November 26, 1904. 
 
 Claude Roy was graduated from the Sheffield School in 1906. He interrupted 
 his course for a year for the sake of being under a favorite senior professor who 
 was enjoying a sabbatical year abroad, and entered the service of the General Electric 
 Company. Following graduation he remained with the same company until the 
 panic of 1907. After a year of teaching and another of post-graduate study in 
 New Haven, he received a good appointment with the New York Telephone 
 Company.

DWIGHT WHITNEY LEARNED 
 
 ^EARNED. Bom in Canterbury, Connecticut, October 12, J 848. Son 
 of Robert Coit and Sarah Birdseye (Whitney) Learned. 
 
 His own statement of his life is so full and adequate that it is given 
 herewith as it came from his hand. 
 
 "The founder of the family in this country was William Learned, who was 
 admitted to the First Church of Charlestown in J 632. His great-grandson, another 
 William Learned, removed to Eastern Connecticut, which has been the home of suc- 
 ceeding generations of the family down to the present. Other members of the 
 ancestral stock were Elder William Brewster, of the Pilgrim company, and John Coit, 
 an early settler of New London, Connecticut, where my father, Robert Coit Learned, 
 was bom, August 31, t8I7. He graduated at Yale in 1837 and became a Congre- 
 gational minister, much interested in historical and genealogical studies. My mother, 
 Sarah Birdseye Whitney, bom at Northampton, Massachusetts, February U, J 824, 
 was descended from John Whitney, who emigrated to this country in J 635. Also 
 among her ancestors were the Dwights and Willistons. Of her five brothers, four 
 graduated at Yale, and the remaining one devoted his life to the University as 
 professor of Sanskrit. 
 
 "I was bom in the little village of Canterbury, in Eastern Connecticut, Octo- 
 ber J 2, 1848, and lived there exactly ten years, then lived for three years in Berlin, 
 Hartford County; but at the time of going to college my home was at Plymouth, 
 in Litchfield County, a little north of Waterbury. I studied with my father and in 
 the village schools, among my teachers being Hine, of Seventy-one; and worked 
 in the hayfields and the gardens in summer and at the woodpile in winter. My 
 first departure from home was in 1864, to spend four months on a hill farm, and 
 from there I went to Williston Seminary, in Easthampton, Massachusetts, where I 
 prepared for college. Among my teachers there were Walker, afterwards president 
 of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lamson, and Smith, afterwards presi- 
 dent and secretary of the American Board, and especially Mr. Dickinson, a well- 
 known lawyer of Boston.

 "I entered Yale as Freshman, fell in with Chandler and roomed with him three 
 years in the Atheneum and North Middle, and also shared with him the Runk 
 Freshman Scholarship. In Senior year Chase and I roomed together in North, and 
 were 'adjudged equal' in scholarship at the head of the Qass. Other prices were 
 two Second Prizes in Composition, a Composition Prize at the end of the Sophomore 
 year, and a Second Qassical Prize. Belonged to Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, 
 Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. From the third term of the Freshman

DWIGHT W. LEARNED 
 J870 and 1950 
 
year I was much troubled with weakness of the eyes, and could not study more 
 than three or four hours a day. 
 
 **After graduation I remained in New Haven, living at 29 High Street, support- 
 ing myself by private teaching, and pursuing a course in Sanskrit, Greek, and 
 German which resulted in my receiving the degree of PhJ). in J 873, along with 
 our own tutor, Otis, Perrin of Yale, Lanman of Harvard, Manatt of Brown, and 
 others* Through Manatt, who roomed in the same house with me for a time, I 
 was introduced to the president of Thayer College, in Kidder, Missouri, and thus 
 I received a call to teach Greek in that institution, and began work there Septem- 
 ber 8, 1873. 
 
 "This was a small institution and beset with many difficulties. It came to an 
 end in t876 (though afterwjirds reorganized and now thriving as Kidder Institute), 
 and its teachers had to do much work for very little payj but there was very much 
 of interest in the work and in the life in that new country, then largely undeveloped 
 prairie. There I was ordained July 7, J 875, and on the same day was married to 
 Florence Helen Rehard, daughter of Martin Rehard, a farmer and landowner 
 of Mirabile, Missouri. 
 
 **In 1875, in connection with the return of Joseph Neesima (Amherst, J 870) to 
 Japan, the American Board's mission was planning the opening of a Christian col- 
 lege in Japan. Through a cousin of my father, my name was suggested to the 
 Board and this work was proposed to me, the result being that we sailed from 
 San Francisco November J of that year. It then required five days to get to San 
 Francisco from Chicago (three now), and our fast, new ship was thought to do 
 well to get to Yokohama in twenty-two days (I returned in twelve), and then there 
 was one steamer a week between Yokohama and Kobe (now seven trains a day). 
 
 "The school, named Doshisha, was opened November 29, at the old capital, 
 Kyoto. It was then extremely difficult for foreigners to get permission to live in 
 the interior of the country, and we had to wait a while in Kobe; but finally were 
 given permission to live three years in Kyoto. I arrived there April J, 1876, and 
 have continued there ever since. As it happened, the Japanese house where we 
 began housekeeping was right across the street from the lot where we built our 
 home three years afterward, so we have been right in the same place all these years. 
 
 "I went out especially for work in the theological department, but for several 
 years I taught anything and everything, and for fifteen years I taught Economics, 
 in which I became very much interested. I finally published my lectures in Jap- 
 anese, and the book went through three editions. But the Japanese teachers are 
 doing that work now, and for many years I have devoted my time entirely to the 
 theological department, where I have long had Church History and New Testa- 
 ment. In connection with my teaching I wrote and published a Church History 
 and a Commentary on the New Testament between J 882 and t892, and between 
 
 J 49 
 
J 903 and 1909 I entirely rewrote and reissued them in eleven volumes* In the 
 further development of the school I am now relieved of the New Testament work, 
 and have Church History, Biblical Theology, and Greek* 
 
 "Walking has always been my favorite exercise, for which the mountains 
 around Kyoto offer many inviting paths, and perhaps it is partly due to this that I 
 have most of the time enfoyed exceflent health. My eyes also have greatly improved* 
 In 1896 I received the degree of D.D* from Yale. 
 
 "My wife carries on a thriving kindergarten* 
 
 "Our dat^hter, Grace Whitney, was bom July 16, J 876, graduated at Mt* 
 Holyoke in J 899, and teaches English Literature in the girls* department of the 
 Doshisha."

WILLIAM H. LEE 
 t870 and 1895 
 
* WILLIAM HENRY LEE 
 
 ^EE. Bom in Rock Island, Illinois, April 22, J848. Died January J8, 
 1907. Son of WiUiam Lewis and Deborah (Sears) Lee. His father, 
 a descendant of John Lee, who was in Farmington, G>nnecticut, in J 634, 
 went West in J 837, ** forty days by team," as he said. After two years 
 in Chicago he settled in Rock Island. He was successful in business; a member 
 of the Legislature? prominent in the Presbyterian Church, and a generous contrib- 
 utor toward the erection of churches in Colorado and Arkansas. He died in J 89 J. 
 
 William Henry Lee's preparation for college was made at Lake Forest Acad- 
 emy, after which he went to Germany to continue his studies. He entered Seventy 
 with the Qass, and was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Beta 
 Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He took the Third Prize in English Composition, 
 the second term Sophomore year. He is well remembered as having rowed on the 
 University crew at Worcester in 1867, J 868, and 1869, giving freely of his time and 
 strength for the honor of Yale. 
 
 He had a varied experience for eight years after graduation, which ended with 
 a course of law study and his admission, in J 879, to the bar. He formed a partner- 
 ship under the firm name of Lee and Hay, and continued in active practice up to 
 the time of his death, January J 8, 1907. He was found sitting in his chair, at his 
 home, with life extinct, after a day in his office of seemingly perfect health. McClure 
 took charge of his funeral on the 2 1st, and Hull acted as one of the pallbearers. 
 He was buried in Graceland Cemetery. 
 
 The estimation in which he was held by his associates was voiced in a 
 memorial that was adopted on February 9, J907, by the Savage Qub, Chicago, of 
 which he was a member, in which the following language was used: '* Feeling 
 deeply the loss which his death has brought us, and recognizing his many virtues, 
 we desire to give expression to our love and admiration for the man. His kindli- 
 ness of spirit, his tolerance in the clash of hostile opinions, his wise conservatism, 
 and his manly, wholesome views of life won our hearts. . . . Quiet though he was 
 in disposition, yet there was a heroism in his character which was, perhaps, best 
 manifested in his self-denial, his self-sacrifice in rearing, with the aid of his noble 
 wife, a family of five children to splendid manhood and womanhood — a species of 
 heroism in a quiet way. ... In Lee were blended all the qualities of a splendid 
 manhood." 
 
 It is doubtful whether any other man in the Class gained a firmer hold upon 
 
 the affections of classmates who were nearly associated than Billy Lee gained on the 
 
 affections of those who knew him best.

Lee was married, February 16, J87J, at South Hadley, Massachusetts, to Miss 
 Sarah Men Lindsay, daughter of Mr. Adam Lindsay, a paper manufacturer of 
 Westvifle, Connecticut*

EDWARD A. LEWIS 
 1870 and 1905 
 
* EDWIN AUGUSTUS LEWIS 
 
 JEWIS, Bom at Naugatucfc, Connecticut, October 5, J847. Died July J7, 
 J9IJ« His father, Samuel J« Lewis, was also bom in Naugatuck, on 
 June n, 1817, and died in the same place July 11, 1858. His mother, 
 Mary Eli^a Lewis (maiden name), was bom at Quaker Farms, near 
 Oxford, Connecticut, June 3, J8J8, and died at Naugatuck in J850, June 12, having 
 been married since October 30, 1839. His father was a most efficient business man, 
 though not a college graduate. He was president of the original Goodyear Rubber 
 Company. 
 
 The founder of the family from which his father sprang was John Lewis, who 
 came from Tenterden, England, in 1635, with wife Sarah and one child, in the ship 
 "Hercules" of Sandwich. He settled at New London, Connecticut. His descend- 
 ants settled in Simsbury, Waterbury, New Haven, and Naugatuck, intermarrying 
 with sons and daughters of many prominent Connecticut families. His grandfather, 
 Milo Lewis, was called the "Father of Manufacturing in Naugatuck." 
 
 The American founder of his mother's family, William Lewis, came to Boston 
 with wife and one son in 1632, on the ship "Lion." He was a soldier, and helped 
 settle Cambricfee, Massachusetts, Hartford, Connecticut, Hadley, Massachusetts, and 
 finally Farmington, Connecticut. His descendants also intermarried with prominent 
 families, amor^ which may be named Hopkins, Curtis, Cowles, and Williams. 
 John Lewis, sixth in descent from the founder William, was a clei^yman at Rocky 
 Hill, Connecticut, graduated from Yale in J 770, and married Eunice Williams, 
 daughter of the famous Elisha Williams, the Revolutionary soldier, of Wethersfield, 
 and granddat^hter of Elisha Williams, president of Yale College. Numbers of the 
 males in the above lines were engaged in the Colonial service and in the Army of 
 the American Revolution. 
 
 Edwin Augustus Lewis practically brought himself up, having lost his mother 
 at the age of three years and his father at the age of ten. At the age of fourteen 
 he placed himself in Andover Academy, where he spent two years, and then left 
 with several others, Curran among them, for WilHston Seminary, Easthampton, 
 from which he was graduated in J866. He entered the Class of Seventy Freshman 
 year. He was a member of the following societies: Brothers, Delta Kappa, Phi 
 Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Scroll and Key. His appointment was a Colloquy. 
 He played four years on the College Nine and was its president in Senior year. 
 
 On the very day of graduating he sailed for Europe and was away an entire 
 year, traveling extensively and completing a tour of the world. Subsequently he 
 made three other trips abroad and has traveled much in our own country. Retum- 
 
 J53 
 
ing in J87J he entered the Coflege of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, where 
 he remained a year* The year dosed in time for him to take the spring term at the 
 Yale Medical School, from which, in J872, he received the degree, of MA. from his 
 Alma Mater. He then entered the Medical School of Bellevue Hospital, New York, 
 from which he was graduated with the degree of MJD., and with high honors, in the 
 spring of 1873, having taken the full course of medicine in two years, instead of 
 three. After two years of service in Bellevue Hospital he began the practice of 
 medicine in Brooklyn, where he met with marked success as a general practitioner 
 and was especially well known for his skill in surgery. He retired from practice in 
 J 895. Among the positions which he occupied may be mentioned those of surgeon 
 of Brooklyn Bridge from its inception until his retirement; ten years surgeon of the 
 Twenty- third Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., with rank of major; police sui^eon and 
 Fire Department surgeon for two years under Mayor Seth Low; visiting surgeon 
 at the four principal hospitals of the city — King's County, Brooklyn, St. Mary's, and 
 the Long Island Gsllege Hospital; professor of Anatomy at the Medical School of the 
 last named for many years, and a member of all leading medical societies, including 
 the Practitioners' Club. He was a frequent contributor to medical journals, but 
 wrote no books. 
 
 Always overworked, he found recreation in an annual outing of a month in the 
 woods of Maine or Canada. Aside from this, an occasional game of billiards was 
 all he found time to indulge in. So pressing were his numerous duties that his son 
 never saw him except at the table twice daily, and then only for a few moments, 
 and actually never became acquainted with him, to really know him well, until at 
 twelve years of age he was admitted to a share in his father's trips to the woods. 
 After twenty years of such ceaseless grind he felt the breaking point to be danger- 
 ously near and withdrew from every engagement of his profession in the fall of J 895. 
 From that time he bent every energy to maintain his health, and not only traveled 
 widely, but spent much of his time in the open, hunting and fishing from Canada 
 to Florida and Louisiana. In the summer of 1906 came the breakdown, which had 
 been averted for ten years, in the shape of paresis, which left him a helpless invalid. 
 For six long years he continued to fail, and died, July 17, 19 1 1, at his home in 
 Englewood, New Jersey, where every kind attention had been given him by his 
 devoted family. 
 
 Ned Lewis was a deservedly popular man. His classmates liked him for his 
 genial qualities and for what he did for the Class on the diamond, where he was 
 rated as one of Yale's best ball players. Though not able to meet with us during 
 these last years, his memory abides in the hearts of the men of Seventy, and will 
 abide so long as there are any of us left to recall the days which we spent together 
 at dear old Yale. 
 
 He was married, June J 7, 1875, to Miss Emma Susan Tuttle, of New Haven.

Her father, John P« Tuttle, was then a leading merchant, but afterwards became a 
 prominent banker in New Haven.

* GEORGE FRANCIS LINCOLN 
 
 LINCOLN. Bom in Hartford, Connecticut, February J4, 1850. Died 
 July 23, J903. Son of George Stanley and Elizabeth Barnard (Packard) 
 Lincoln. His father, founder of the Phoenix Iron Works and George S. 
 Lincoln Company (manufacturers of standard machinery of world-wide 
 reputation), was a descendant of Thomas Lincoln, who was bom in England about 
 1603, came to New England in t635, and located in Hingham, on Massachusetts 
 Bay, but removed to Taunton prior to J 650 and established a grist mill on Mill 
 River. His grandfather, Levi Lincoln, was a famous inventor. 
 
 His mother was a daughter of Caleb L. Packard, at one time postmaster of 
 the dty of Hartford. She was a highly educated woman and noted for her 
 refinement. 
 
 George Francis Lincoln entered the Hartford High School when twelve years 
 old; when fourteen years old he made his first trip abroad, to Germany, where he 
 laid a foundation for his exceptional knowledge of the German language; and at the 
 age of fifteen, after a course of preparation in J. D. Hull's English Classical School, 
 entered the Qass of J 869, Yale College. He came into Seventy the first term of 
 Junior year and graduated with the Class. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa 
 Sigma Epsilon, and Psi Upsilon. 
 
 ^ ^ ,«? 
 
 After graduation he was for a short time associated with his father in the Iron 
 Works. Later he was employed in the Actuary Department of the Connecticut 
 Mutual Life Insurance Company. He then made a second trip abroad to Heidelberg, 
 with the intention of studying medicine; but abandoned the idea, returned to the 
 United States and entered the Columbia Law School, from which he was gradu- 
 ated in 1875, He entered the employ of the famous law firm of Evarts, Southmayd 
 and Choate. He afterwards formed the law firm of Lincoln and Curran, 49 Nassau 
 Street, New York. Upon the election of R. B. Hayes as President, he received, 
 on December 23, 1880, his first commission as United States Consul to Stettin, Ger- 
 many. On December 20, 1883, he was promoted by President Arthur to the more 
 important post of Aix-Ia-Chapelle, on account of his ability and efficiency, as shown 
 by his works. A change in the government taking place, he was removed from 
 his office by President Cleveland. He then lived for a time in Paris 2ind afterwards 
 returned to Hartford. Another change in the Administration taking place. Presi- 
 dent Harrison appointed him, on April 23, 1892, to the consulate at Antwerp. 
 While he was suffering from a severe illness still another change in the Administra- 
 tion took place: Grover Cleveland was elected President, and he was again removed 
 from office. He returned to Hartford in a very disabled condition, having lost the 
 
 156 
 
GEORGE F. LINCOLN 
 J 870 
 
use of his right hand and arm, in time to be with his father for a few days before 
 he died. He opened a law office in the city of his birth and became an examiner 
 of titles of real estate for the -ffitna Life Insurance Company* On July h t896. 
 Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley appointed him auditor of public accounts of the state 
 of Connecticut. ^ 
 
 At the convention which nominated WilKam McKinley as President he was 
 appointed sergeant-at-arms. After McKinle/s election he was reappointed consul 
 at Antwerp, which enabled him to keep the promise he had made to his Antwerp 
 friends when he bade them good-by, that he would return to them again. He was 
 later appointed consul general, an office which he held at the time of his death, which 
 occurred at Brussels, Belgium, July 23, J903. He was honored at Antwerp with a 
 military and civic funeral. His remains were brought to Hartford and interred in 
 the family lot at Spring Grove Cemetery. 
 
 He was of Revolutionary ancestry, on both his father's and mother's side, and 
 was a member of Union League and Hartford Clubs, of the Sons of the American 
 Revolution and Sons of the Revolution. He received from the French government 
 the decoration of the ** Order of Palms," in recognition of his Kterary attainments. 
 He also received a decoration from the king of Belgium. 
 
 He was spoken of by a Hartford paper as "an accomplished linguist and an 
 able writer on commercial matters." After giving an address, in 1896, before 
 an advanced class in German at Trinity College, on "Social and Official Life in 
 Germany," the students expressed their appreciation of his effort by a rising vote, 
 and on reaching the open air gave the college yell with Lincoln's name attached. 
 
 While living in Hartford, at one time he was vice-president of a club of promi- 
 nent people in the city called "Der Verein," which had for its special object the 
 acquiring of familiarity with the German language. 
 
 The Qass can without difficulty recall the erect form, fine face, and gentlemanly 
 bearing of this, one of the very youngest members of our body, whose death was 
 lamented by us all. 
 
 He was married in October, 1879, to Mrs. Ella W. Lockwood, whose name, 
 before her first marriage, was Ella French. They had no children. She died in 
 J907. 
 
 He is survived by a brother, Frederick Miles Lincoln, a banker and broker, and 
 a member of the Consolidated Exchange in New York, Stock Exchange in Chicago, 
 Board of Trade, Hartford; and also by a sister. Miss Mary Elizabeth Lincoln, whose 
 residence is in Hartford, Connecticut.

PHILIP LINDSLEY 
 
 3INDSLEY. Bom in Nashville, Tennessee, February 2, J850. He is the 
 son of Adrian Van Sinderen and Eliza M. (Trimble) Lindsley* His 
 g:randfather, after whom he was named, was Philip Lindsley, DJD., a 
 famous educator, who was gfraduated from Princeton in )804, where he 
 tat^ht for several years, and of which colIeg:e he was asked to be president, but

WALTER S. LOGAN 
 J870 and 1895 
 
* WALTER SETH LOGAN 
 
 ^OGAN, Bom in Washington, Connecticut, April J5,J847. Died July 19, 
 1906* Son of Seth Savage and Abigail Serene (Hollister) Logan. His 
 father, who was also bom in Washington, August 23, 1820, and died 
 there January 24, 1885, was a leader in public affairs. He was for 
 several terms a representative from his native town to the Connecticut Legislature, 
 and was once a senator from his district. During the govemorship of James E. 
 English he was the state comptroller. 
 
 The first of the Logan family in this country was John Logan, who came 
 from the province of Ulster, Ireland, with a company of Scotch-Irish families of the 
 Presbyterian faith, led by Rev. Samuel Dorrance. After a brief sojourn in, or near, 
 Boston, the company moved on to Connecticut, bought the Volunteer Grants at 
 Voluntown, and fotmded the Presbyterian church at Ekonfc Hill. From Volun- 
 town John Logan removed to Plainfield, and from there to the parish of Judea, 
 which was then a part of Woodbury, but is now the parish of Washington, 
 where he settled in J 748, John Logan's wife was Margaret Johnson, daughter 
 of Matthew Johnson, and a descendant of Captain Edward Johnson, of Wobum, 
 Massachusetts, author of "The Wonder- worldng Providence.** Matthew Logan, 
 John's son, married Sarah Savage, a descendant of Seth Wamer and Seth Grant, 
 of the families made famous in later times by the exploits of Colonel Seth Wamer 
 and General U. S. Grant. Matthew Logan, Jr., married Laura Sanford, whose 
 father and grandfather were both in the Revolutionary War. 
 
 Logan's mother was bom in Washington, Coimecticut, October 3, 1825, and 
 was married there April 2, 1845. She is the daughter of Sherman Hollister 
 and Patty Nettleton, and a descendant of Captain Gideon Hollister, of Washington, 
 Connecticut, who fought in the Revolution j also of the Rev. Roger Newton, who was 
 a pastor in Farmington, Connecticut, before 1660; of Thomas Hooker, the famous 
 pastor of the First Church of Hartford; of Richard Treat, a founder of Wethers- 
 field, an assistant magistrate for Connecticut from 1658 to 1665, and a patentee of 
 the charter granted to Connecticut by Charles the Second; and of Samuel Sherman, 
 a member of the first Court of Assistants of the Connecticut Colony. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Walter Seth Logan's early years were spent in the homestead and on the farm 
 where his Logan ancestors had lived for more than a century. He was prepared 
 for college at the Suffield Literary Institute and at the Fort Edward Collegiate Insti- 
 tute, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of Linonia and Kappa 
 Sigma Epsilon. His honors were the Third Pri^e in the Linonia Freshman Prize 
 Debate, and a High Oration stand at the end of the course. His intimate friend, 
 
 159 
 
Morris B. Beardslcy, has said of him: "He was in the truest sense of the word a 
 self-made man. He worked his way through college and took a high rank. He 
 kept the College Bookstore, gave time to other remunerative things, and still secured 
 a 'high oration.'" 
 
 The September after graduation saw him enrolled as a student in the Harvard 
 Law School at Cambridge. He studied law for a year for all he was worth. At 
 the end of the year he succeeded in getting permission to enter the examinations, 
 although the regular course was two years, and he passed. No one was told who 
 passed the highest in the examination, but he was told that no one passed ahead of 
 him. He determined to go back and take a post-graduate course of a year at the 
 Harvard Law School, and went back in the fall of I87I to do so. He was two or 
 three days late. He received notice on his arrival late at night to call at once at the 
 house of Professor Langdell, the dean of the law school, whether it was day, night, 
 or Sunday. He went, and woke the professor out of his bed, who said that his 
 friend, Mr. James C Carter, had written him from New York that he wanted a 
 young man in his office from the Harvard Law School that Professor Langdell 
 could recommend. Professor Langdell added, "We want you here very much 
 another year, but I think this is an opportunity which perhaps you cannot afford to 
 neglect." Logan replied that he would take the place, and left before daylight the 
 next morning for New York, entered the Columbia Law School, and graduated 
 there while in Mr. Carter's office, so that he has sheepskins from Yale, Harvard, 
 and Columbia. 
 
 He was associated with Mr. Carter and Mr. Charles O'Connor the first two 
 years in the trial of the Jumel case, and to the inspiration and the warm and stead- 
 fast friendship of these two great leaders of the bar, he said that he owed much of 
 whatever success he had in later years. 
 
 Among the notable cases in which he was retained may be mentioned the Wirt 
 and Waterman Pen cases, in which he established some new principles of patent 
 law; the Arnold vs. Chesebrough case, in the United States Court, involving several 
 millions; the Davis-Cornwall cases before the Supreme Court of the United States, 
 and others of multimillionaire proportions. He was counsel in the famous water- 
 right controversies in the arid Southwest, which brought him much business in 
 Mexico and led him to become a profound student of Mexican history. He proved 
 the right of the Delaware Indians to their lands in one of the largest cases ever 
 taken before the United States Court of Claims, and thus indirectly prevented the 
 Standard Oil Company from acquiring them. At the time of his death, in July, 
 1906, he was acting as referee in the matter of the New York Loan Banking 
 Company, "one of the most important references ever given in New York." 
 It involved the rights of over twelve thousand stockholders, and required him to 
 hold almost daily sessions for a year and a half and to have before him as 
 
 160 
 
counsel more than two hundred prominent members of the bar of the city 
 and state* 
 
 Logan labored to broaden and uplift his profession. He was one of the 
 founders, first, of the New York State Bar Association, and later, of the American 
 Bar Association. He was chosen president of the former and vice-president of the 
 latter, as well as a member of its General Council and chairman of its most impor- 
 tant committee, that on Gjmmercial Law. He was appointed by Governor Higgins 
 a member for New York State of the Commission on Uniform State Laws, and of 
 the Congress of February, J906, concerning Uniform Divorce Laws. 
 
 Logan's public spirit was as characteristic of him as was his enthusiasm for the 
 law. Though an active and lifelong Democrat, like his father, Seth S. Logan, yet 
 he was independent in the stand which he took respecting the policies of his party. 
 He never sot^ht office, but gave freely of his time, thought, and money to move- 
 ments which looked to the furtherance of good government. He was a founder of 
 the Reform Qub of New York Qty, was influential in the movement to defeat the 
 reelection of Governor Hill in 1888, and was chairman of the Executive Committee 
 of the Ballot Reform organization from J 887 to 1889. 
 
 Logan's intellectual activity was shown in his addresses, among which were 
 the following: "An Argument for an Eight-Hour Law," given in 1893 j "A Working 
 Plan for a Permanent International Tribunal," in J 896; "A More Socialistic State," 
 in 1 90 1; "Commercial Law and Modem Commercial Combinations," given at the 
 annual meeting of the American Bar Association in J 903; "The Limitation of 
 Inheritances"; "National Control and Incorporation of Corporations"; and in 
 t906, "Graft, Its Causes and Cure," On account of his double descent from 
 Thomas Hooker, he took much pleasure in giving his address, "Thomas Hooker, 
 the First Democrat," before the patriotic societies. Before Washington and Lee 
 University he gave an address on "The Mission of the Saxon Scholar"; one before 
 the Louisiana Bar Association, at New Orleans, on "The Function of the Lawyer"; 
 a paper before the Social Science Association entitled, "A Mexican Lawsuit"; 
 and one before the New York Historical Society on "Cuatla, the Bunker Hill of 
 Mexico," An article which he wrote for the "Forum" on "Saxon and Latin 
 Courts" was, with the two papers previously mentioned, translated into Spanish 
 and published in Buenos Ayres and in Mexico, 
 
 The wide range of Logan's sympathies was shown by the variety of the clubs 
 and societies to which he belonged. To name them all would require too much space. 
 He was one of the founders of the Lawyers' Club, the Reform, the National Arts, and 
 the Nineteenth Century, He was a member of the Yale, Manhattan, Democratic, 
 New York Yacht, New York Athletic, Marine and Field— all of New York Qty,; 
 of the Hamilton, of Brooklyn; the Fort Orange, of Albany; the Adirondack League, 
 and the Cosmos, of Washington, District of Columbia, He was an active member 
 
 i6i 
 
of the Brooklyn Society of Ethical Culture, a member of the Municipal Art Society, 
 of the Academy of Science, and of geographical and historical societies, both state 
 and national* 
 
 The cause of International Arbitration was one of his deepest interests. For 
 twenty years he was a familiar figure at the Lake Mohonfc Conferences* His part 
 in them was well set forth in Edward Everett Hale's tribute, as follows: **Mr. Logan 
 will be remembered as one of those efficient, practical men, well in advance of his 
 time, who led and instructed others when they were uncertain, who knew what was 
 possible and what was impossible, and while he pointed out the way was always 
 ready to go forward in it himself* He was leading member of the celebrated com- 
 mittee of the New York State Bar Association, which has won its place in history 
 by putting into form as early as it did an intelligible plan for International Arbitfa- 
 tion." This plan was one of the agencies that established The Hague Court of 
 Arbitration; and another was the memorial to the Czar, of which Logan was Joint 
 author* 
 
 At the time of Logan's death the official flag of The Hague Conference, which 
 floats over the Palace of Arbitration whenever the conference is in session, and which 
 bears the emblem, *'Peace to All Nations,** was sent to Mrs* Logan, with the request 
 that it should be placed over him and stay with him till he was laid in his last 
 resting place. During the hour of his funeral at the Central Presbyterian Church 
 in New York Qty it formed a part of the decoration* 
 
 Logan delighted in the beautiful country about his old Connecticut homestead* 
 A lover of nature and of its associations with the past, he gladly joined with 
 Andrew H* Green, the distinguished New Yorker, in the work of the American 
 Scenic and Historic Preservation Society* The fact that he was chosen to succeed 
 Mr, Green as president was, perhaps, more gratifying to him than any other honor 
 that he ever received* 
 
 Logan was always an optimist* He rejoiced in the good that he found ^d 
 inspired in his many friends. No one of them can ever know how much inspira- 
 tion and practical help he gave to the yottng and the struggling* He rejoiced in 
 Yale. He rejoiced in visions of the future greatness of his city and of his country? 
 and his ardent Americanism impelled him to take a strenuous part in the efforts of 
 many civic and patriotic societies to increase the devotion of our people to the interests 
 of our common country. He was a member of the Society of Colonial Wars, of the 
 Order of Founders and Patriots, and of the Society of the Sons of the American 
 Revolution* The Empire State Society of the latter organization made him its presi- 
 dent for several terms, and he was once elected to the highest office in the gift of the 
 national society, that of president-general* 
 
 One of his oldest friends, the distinguished lawyer, John DeWitt Warner, said 
 of him: "There shone in him an intense patriotism, but it was for his many-sided 
 
 162 
 
humanity that we loved him best. I know of no other man who knew so well so 
 many of every walk in life, who touched others from so many sides, who cherished 
 and enjoyed so many others for the best that was in each, as did Walter Seth Logan. 
 And so we shall remember him, not so much as a great lawyer, not so much as the 
 great publicist, but as the great-hearted brother and friend of us alL** 
 
 Logan was married at Brooklyn, New York, April J3, 1875, to Eli^a Preston 
 Kenyon, daughter of Pardon Waterman Kenyon, a business man of Brooklyn, New 
 York,

 several years ago at the age of eighty-four. 
 
 fi fi /f 
 
 He entered with the Class and was a member of Brothers, Kappa S^ma 
 Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He received honorable mention 
 for compositions written during the first two terms of Senior year. 
 
 After graduation he studied at the Columbia Law School, from which he 
 received the degree of LL.B. He was admitted to the New York Bar and on 
 April 2, J 885, to the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. In t877 he was 
 military secretary to the governor of New York, and was thereafter known as 
 **Colonel Lord." From J88t to J888 his residence was in Washington, District 
 of Columbia, and after that in New York Qty. But he seems to have spent a 
 large portion of his time in travel, both in this country and abroad, his health 
 demanding changes of climate. He had returned • from a protracted foreign trip 
 but a few weeks before his death, which was occasioned by gas poisoning that 
 developed into pneumonia. **It is supposed that he got up towards morning to 
 take some medicine for his cough, and in turning off the gas accidentally turned it 
 on again." 
 
 His life seems to have been a troubled one, an inference that has been drawn 
 from his own messages to classmates. That he did not achieve desired success 
 may well be laid to his ill health, which was but a continuation of his somewhat 
 enfeebled condition while in college. 
 
 One of his fads was genealogy, and he was a member of the Society of 
 Colonial Wars, Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, New York His- 
 torical Society, and of the Church Qub of New York. 
 
 To the name of Joseph Edwin, which constituted his given name while in 
 college, he added the name of Potter in J 906.

 stand* 
 
 After graduation he studied law at the Columbia Law School, from which he 
 was graduated in J 872. Since then he has practiced law, which occupation has 
 been supplemented by much efficient service in New Jersey as a member of the 
 State Board of Education, to which he was appointed by the governor of the state 
 in J 896. He is still a member of the board. In 1898 he was appointed by the 
 governor one of three commissioners to revise the public school laws of the state. 
 He was engaged in this important work for five years. In 1909 he was appointed 
 by the Senate of New Jersey upon a commission to "investigate the methods, prac- 
 tices, expenses, and disbursements of the free schools of the state," a work which 
 occupied the entire summer of 19 10, thereby preventing his attendance at the Fortieth 
 Anniversary of the Class. The conclusions of this commission of six persons are 
 embodied in an exhaustive and valuable report of sixty-seven pages, that was pub- 
 lished at Trenton in March, 1911, in which there are twenty-nine "Recommenda- 
 tions"; to all of which, save one, McCutchen signed his assent, his characteristic 
 independence thus asserting itself by declining to subscribe to that in which he did 
 not believe.

FRANCIS NORTON MANN 
 
 I ANN. Bom in Troy, New York, August 2, J 849. Son of Francis 
 Norton and Mary J. (Hooker) Mann. His father (bom in Milton, New- 
 York, June 19, J802; died in Troy, February 8, J880) was a graduate of 
 Union Coflege, Schenectady, New York, in J 825. In 1828 he came 
 to Troy, where he became an alderman, judge of the Court of Common Pleas, 
 mayor of the city in 1847, and the founder of St. John's Episcopal Church. He 
 married, on October 25, 1848, Mary J. Hooker, a lineal descendant of Rev. Thomas 
 Hooker, pastor of the First Church of Hartford, Connecticut, one of the most 
 influential of the early settlers of Connecticut. 
 
 The first ancestor of this Mann family in America was Richard Mann, who 
 was in Scituate, Massachusetts, previous to 1644. From there he moved to Hebron, 
 Connecticut; and from Hebron our classmate's grandfather moved to Milton, Sara- 
 toga County, New York, where his descendants are still living, 
 
 Francis Norton Mann was prepared for college at the Troy Academy and at 
 Mr. B. F. Harrington's Preparatory School. He entered with the Class and was 
 a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Xi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He 
 is also a member of Wolf's Head. 
 
 In 1872 he graduated from the Albany Law School, from which he received the 
 degree of LL.B. He served as alderman of his native dty from March, J 873, to 
 1877, inclusive. On November t, J 873, he was appointed quartermaster, with the 
 rank of lieutenant colonel, on the staff of Major General Carr, and was later pro- 
 moted to the office of judge advocate, with the rank of colonel, and served until J 880. 
 In 1879 he was elected to the State Assembly as the candidate of the Republican 
 party, and was on the staff of Governor Cornell from 1880 to J 883 as colonel and 
 aid-ds-camp. In J 888 he was a candidate for mayor of Troy and was elected, but 
 was robbed of his office by political manipulations. In 1889 he was appointed by 
 President Harrison postmaster of Troy, which office he held for four years. In 1889 
 his name was mentioned by the ^*New York Press" as one of the possible candidates 
 for the governorship of the state of New York. Since J 905 he has been commis- 
 sioner in the Department of Public Safety, where he is said to be doing efficient 
 service for the betterment of municipal conditions in Troy. 
 
 In addition to the above civic and military honors, Mann has received others, 
 which show the esteem in which he is held in his native city; among which may 
 be named: vice-presidency of the Mutual National Bank of New York and of the 
 United Traction Company; directorship in the Troy Savings Bank and Security 
 
 i7i

HENRY E. MARTIN 
 1870 and 1896 
 
* HENRY ELISHA MARTIN 
 
 [ ARTIN. Bom in Whitehall, New York, May 4, J847, Died March 26, 
 1898* Son of Alwyn and Laura Ann (Jdlson) Martin. His father, 
 who was bom at Whitehall, March 25, 1811, was a merchant and whole- 
 sale dealer in lumber, and traced his ancestry back to William Seaborn 
 Martin, who was born at sea in t650. William Seabom was married in June, J 685, 
 to Abigail Curtis, at Stratford, Connecticut. Large families characterized their de- 
 scendants for several generations, our classmate's grandfather, Reuben Hinman 
 Martin, being tenth child of a good-sized family, even for those days. The wife of 
 Reuben Hinman was Qarissa Martin, a daughter of David Martin and Mary 
 Stanley, daughter of the youngest son of Lord Stanley, by whom she was disin- 
 herited, as well as completely separated from her family, for marrying a patriot 
 against her father's wishes, 
 
 Martin's mother was bom in Whitehall, New York, on the J 6th of November, 
 J8I6. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Henry Elisha Martin was prepared for college by private tutors and one year 
 at the Poughkeepsie Military Institute, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a 
 member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and Alpha Delta Phi. He was also 
 a member of one of the Class crews, from which he resigned on account of the 
 death, in October, 1869, of Bascom, who had come with him io college from 
 Whitehall. 
 
 After graduation he located at Menominee, Michigan, where he was employed 
 as a bookkeeper by the Ludington, Wells and Van Schaick Lumber Company until 
 J 880, when he entered into a partnership with Augustus Spies, for the manufactur- 
 ing of lumber, as The Spies and Martin Lumber Company. After four years this 
 partnership was dissolved and he removed to Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and bought 
 an interest in a lumber and planing mill owned by E. J. Hildreth, with whom he 
 continued until the business was closed in 1896, the senior member of the firm retiring 
 and Mr. Martin removing to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to take over a lumber yard 
 which had come into his possession as security for a debt. This he reorganized 
 as The Martin Lumber Company, in the business of which he was engaged at the 
 time of his death, after a short ilkiess, at Fond du Lac, on the 26th of March, 1898. 
 
 While living in Menominee he was elected its treasurer, and came near being 
 elected treasurer of the county. While at Stevens Point he was for one year its 
 mayor, being elected by a large majority; was for two years an alderman, and two 
 years chief of the Fire Department. Though a Democrat, he believed in putting 
 the best men in office, irrespective of party connections. He joined the Masonic 
 
 J 73 
 
Order in 1873, and at the time of his death was a Knight Templar. His church 
 was the Presbyterian, in which he was an office bearer. 
 
 Henry Martin was a dean, manly fellow, whom his classmates learned more 
 fully to appreciate as they came to know his g:enuine worth. His warm heart 
 displayed itself to the Class Secretary in his letters, which were full of tender refer- 
 ences to his family and of expressions of loyalty to the Gass of Seventy. 
 
 He was married, June 18, 1874, to Miss Lizzie Blanche, daughter of Edmund 
 Jones Hildreth, a lumber dealer, who served his country during the Qvil War as 
 a captain in the 98th New York Volunteers, and died in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, 
 February 6, 1907.

HENRY B. MASON 
 J870 and I90I 
 
HENRY BURRALL MASON 
 
 [ASON. Bom in Bridgeport, Gmnecticutt December 20, )848* Son of 
 Roswell B. and Harriet (Hopkins) Mason. The originator of the 
 Mason family in America was Sampson Mason. He had been one of 
 Oliver Qomwell's troopers, but came to America when the wars of the 
 CavaKers and Roundheads were over. The earliest mention of him in this country 
 was in the year 1649, as a resident of Rhode Island. He was a shoemaker and 
 tanner by trade and amassed a considerable property* His widow contributed 
 liberally, three times, to the colonists' expenses in King Philip's War. In direct 
 descent from Sampson Mason was Roswell B. Mason, civil engineer, builder of the 
 Illinois Central Railroad about 1856, and mayor of Chicago at the time of the great 
 fire of J 87 J. He was married to Harriet Lavinia Hopkins, member of a New 
 Jersey family of English and Welsh descent. 
 
 Henry Burrall Mason was prepared for college in the Chicago High School. 
 He entered with the Qass and was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, 
 Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Skull and Bones. He received the following 
 honors: a priaje each year in Linonia Prize Debates — First Prize, Freshman year? 
 Second Prize, Sophomore; First Prize, Junior; Second Prize, Senior; also Second 
 Prize, Sophomore, in English Composition; Senior year, Townsend Premium for 
 English Composition and selection as Class Historian and Class Poet. In J 874 he 
 received the degree of LL.B. from Columbia Law School. 
 
 Two of Henry B. Mason's four brothers graduated from Yale, namely, 
 Edward G. Mason, in J860, and Alfred Bishop Mason, in J87I. An older brother 
 graduated from Union College and died young. Another brother, Roswell H. 
 Mason, took his four years in the army; instead of a Freshman, he was a private; 
 instead of a Sophomore, a sergeant; instead of a Junior, a lieutenant; instead of a 
 Senior, a captain. Edward G. Mason had ten sons at Yale, nine graduating there. 
 Roswell H. Mason's two sons were at Yale, one of them graduating there, the other 
 at Princeton. Alfred Bishop Mason's only son was at Yale. Henry B. Mason's 
 oldest sister, Mrs. Henry G. Miller, has two sons, graduates of Yale; and another 
 sister, Mrs. James H. Trowbridge, has one son, a graduate of Amherst, and two 
 sons, graduates of Yale. 
 
 Mason's life since graduation can best be told, in part, by himself. Here is his 
 account of it: 
 
 **After graduation I spent a few months in Great Britain, waiting for the French 
 and Germans to stop f^hting so that I could go to Paris and complete my educa- 
 
 175 
 
tion. Finally, I left my London lodgings and took steamer for America, intending 
 to complete my foreign tour the following year. But that year the Chicago fire 
 came and burnt up most of my father's fortune, on which I had been traveling 
 comfortably, so I was obliged to stay at home. I87I-J872 found me in the law 
 office of Mattocks and Mason* Here I ascended three rounds of young ambition's 
 ladder — office boy, law student, and collector. I learned the practice of the law in 
 this busy office faster than I did its theory, and found myself doing many things 
 in a mechanical manner by the aid of form books and printed blanks, but without 
 a clear perception of underlying legal principles. So I went to the Columbia Law 
 School in J 873 and J 874— two delightful years filled with solid studies and re- 
 union with old college ftiends, and crowned with a diploma from the hands of 
 Professor Dwight, a bom teacher. I never saw a man with more capacity to impart 
 knowledge. Prizes were awarded to the graduating class for the best legal essays. 
 Mansfield, 1 871, took the first prize, our classmate, John Andrews, the second; but 
 luckily there were prizes enough to go around, for a third prize (one hundred dollars) 
 was awarded, and I took that. John and I spent our money genteelly in a trip to 
 the national capital. Returning to Chicago, John Andrews and I practiced law 
 together for two or three years, when his health obliged him to go to Montana, and 
 I practiced law alone, with the slow results most young lawyers experience. J 880 
 was my fortunate year, for I was married, June 12, to Frances Fay Calhoun, a 
 former student in Miss Porter's school at Farmington, Connecticut. Although 
 I had not known her until I met her as a young lady in Chicago society, yet we 
 found, upon comparing notes, that we had been bom in the same house and rocked 
 in the same cradle. I was bom in my father's house in Bridgeport, Connecticut, 
 when he was building the New York and New Haven Railroad. He went West, 
 a few years afterwards, to build the Illinois Central Railroad, and rented his Bricfee- 
 port house to Mr. John B. Calhoun. A daughter was bom to Mr. Calhoun in that 
 house, and the little stranger was placed in my old cradle, which was discovered 
 in the garret. Years afterwards we met in Chicago, became engaged, and were 
 married, 
 
 "I entered my brother's law firm as a partner in 1 88 J. Since entering on my 
 profession I have been constantly and delightfully busy, having a large office prac- 
 tice and many considerable suits in court, of which I have won some and lost others 
 — for a lawyer's career is made up of mingled triumphs and reverses. ... I spent 
 the summer of J 884 in Europe. I have kept comparatively young by my home life, 
 by summer vacations, and by driving." 
 
 Mason has had important dealings in real estate in Chicago, and has been the 
 owner of some good horse flesh, in which he has taken great pride. 
 
 In 1899 Edward G. Mason, brother and senior partner of our classmate, died. 
 The old firm name of Mason Brothers has been continued, but the two partners are 
 
 M6 
 
Henry B. Mason and his nephew Henry E. Mason, oldest son of Edward G* Mason. 
 Henry B. Mason was for several terms a member of the Illinois State Board of Law 
 Examiners* 
 
 He is a member of the Illinois Supreme Court, the United States Supreme 
 Coxset, the Chicag:o Historical Society, University Club, Literary Club, Union Club, 
 Law Qub, and Bar Association. 
 
 As above stated, he was married, June J 2, J 880, to Frances Fay, daughter of 
 John B. Calhoun.

* EDWARD FISKE MERRIAM 
 
 fERRIAM. Bom in Springfield, Massachusetts, May 5, J847. Died 
 August 26, J 896. S<mi of Geot^e and Abby (Fiske) Merriam. His 
 father was bom at Worcester, Massachusetts, January t9, J803* He 
 was one of the firm of G. and C Merriam, for many years publishers 
 of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. The first of the Merriams of this line was 
 Joseph Merriam, who was in Gmcord, Massachusetts, previous to 1640. 
 
 His mother, who was bom in J8J2, was a daughter of Rev. John Fiske, who 
 was pastor of the church in New Braintree, Massachusetts, for sixty-eight years, 
 and took a prominent part in the building up of Amherst OjIIege. 
 
 ^ <* /f 
 
 Edward Fiske Merriam was prepared for college partly at the Polytechnic 
 School in Brooklyn, New York, and partly at Northampton as a private pupil of 
 Dr. Josiah Clark, for whose teaching and character he always had the highest 
 regard. He entered Yale with the Class and was a member of Linonia, Delta 
 Kappa, and Psi Upsilon. 
 
 The account given by his brother, Mr, George S. Merriam, of his career after 
 graduation is herewith repeated, as being an adequate portraiture of an unassuming 
 but most worthy member of the Qass of Seventy. 
 
 "He was always hampered by a want of physical robustness. He took a 
 voyage to the Sandwich Islands for his health, in the year before entering collie, 
 and the time thus lost to study proved a disastrous handicap during his college 
 course. He had a sound and clear, but not a rapid mind; and being thrown in the 
 rear at the start, he could never, though a faithful and diligent student, recover 
 the lost ground or rise above a medium rank. The resulting discouragement was 
 unfortunate for a temperament which needed the stimulant of success. By this, and 
 also by a certain maturity of feeling and taste, he was thrown somewhat out of 
 touch with the hearty, boyish life which surrounded him at Yale, and he was really 
 known to but very few. Those who saw below the surface in him recognized 
 the high principle, the purity of life, the strong sense of fun, the fineness of taste and 
 perception. Among the influences of his years at Yale may be specially mentioned 
 his veneration for the noble character of President Woolsey. After graduation he 
 spent a year in the employment of H. O. Houghton and Company, at the Riverside 
 Press, Cambridge, and made a beginning which promised well for a business career, 
 but again he was checked by want of health, which forbade a long working day. 
 He went to Springfield, where he was engaged for a time as assistant in the office 
 of his father, George Merriam, of G. and C. Merriam, and fiUed the place of home

EDWARD F. MERRIAM 
 1870 
 
son in the declining years of his father and mother. He projected and established a 
 monthly magazine, cafled 'Sunday Afternoon/ and afterward *Good Company/ at 
 first with Washington Gladden as editor, but later taking upon himself the work 
 both of editor and publisher. He gave to the magazine the stamp of his own per- 
 sonality, and the result was a high-class periodical, with a distinct and well-chosen 
 field, a fine list of contributors, an excellent range of topics, and an almost uniqtte 
 freedom from 'padding' of any kind. It was begun in 1877 and continued for four 
 years, but to win financial success in the crowd of competitors was too great 
 an undertaking for a man who could not share responsibility. It was a characteristic 
 trait that at its demise every subscriber received back in money the sum due him. 
 At this time Merriam had changed his residence to New York, and there he re- 
 mained for the rest of his life. A series of faithful undertakings had been baffled, the 
 root cause being probably a physical onej and about this time he learned that he 
 had a serious weakness of the heart, probably dating back to childhood — a knowl- 
 edge which he imparted to no one till the end was near^ He quietly accepted a life 
 of passivity, and in this he came to find large resource of enjoyment. He was a 
 keen observer, and watched the tides of life in the great dty with unflagging zest* 
 He formed some very kindly relations, especially among the poor. But his dis- 
 tinguishing mark appeared to be an impersonal but deep interest in the study of 
 humanity. He took keen delight in Shakespeare, and would quote him by the hour. 
 Upon this quiet life fell the stroke of a sharp illness. In a dangerous attack of 
 pneumonia he was ntirsed back to temporary recovery by a sister, and was soon 
 transferred to her home in Springfield, where the loving ministry of his family and 
 genial intercourse with old friends softened the swift decline which ended on the 
 26th of At^fust, J 896. In his last days he said repeatedly and emphatically that his 
 life had been a happy one.''

GEORGE DICKSON METGALF 
 
 [ETCALF. Bom on a farm in Barrs Precinct, Macoupin Ojunty, Ifli- 
 nois, September 30, J847. Second son of Dr. John Milton and Mary 
 Isabella (Wyeth) Metcalf. His parents, shortly after his birth, moved 
 to Waverly, Morgan County, Illinois, where his father practiced medicine, 
 as a highly successful and greatly respected and beloved physician, until his death 
 in J 858. He was bom at Hopkins ville. Christian Cotjnty, Kentucky, in I8J4; was 
 a graduate of Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia; the third son of William 
 Metcalf, a pioneer in Kentucky, who moved to Illinois with his large family in 
 1836, after manumitting his slaves. The earliest known ancestor on the father's 
 side in this country was a Mr, John Metcalf, who was a member of one of the 
 Cavalier families settling in Maryland in earliest Colonial times. The earliest 
 known ancestor on the mother's side was George Wythe, delegate from Virginia, 
 one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Robert Fulton, the distin- 
 guished steamboat inventor, was a family relative. His mother's immediate family 
 was settled for many years in Western Pennsylvania, in Pittsburg and vicinity, 
 where she was bom in J 820. She is now (19 JO) living, in fairly good health, at 
 the age of ninety years, at Piedmont, California. 
 
 ,« ^ ^ 
 
 George Dickson Metcalf received his early education in the public schools of 
 Waverly, Illinois. He attended the High School at Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 
 1 865-1 866, where he was prepared for college. He entered Yale in September, 
 J 866, with the Class of Seventy, and graduated with the Class as an Oration man, 
 heading that list. He was a member of Brothers and a Delta Kappa man. After 
 graduation he taught school one year at Ellington, Connecticut, as vice-principal in 
 an old-established private school for boys, conducted by Edward Hall, Esq. He 
 went to California in August, J87I, and became, for one year, an assistant professor 
 in the then newly established University of Calif omia (English Department), at 
 Oakland, California. In 1872 he became a member of the office force of the Union 
 Savings Bank at Oakland, where he remained seven years, filling one after another 
 all the subordinate positions in a large and growing bank, and gaining valuable 
 business experience. He resigned in 1879. In J 878 he entered the Hastings Law 
 College (the Law Department of the University of California), whence he was grad- 
 uated with its first class in J 88 J, with the degree of LL.B. from the University of 
 California. He at once began the practice of the legal profession at Oakland, Cali- 
 fornia, and soon acquired a growing and lucrative practice. Having formed a law 
 partnership with Victor H, Metcalf (Yale, 1876), under the name of Metcalf and 
 
 180 
 
GEORGE D. METCALF 
 J870 and J909 
 
MetCalf, the firm became one of the leading and strong firms on the Bay, and for 
 twenty-five years, continuously, held a first place as counsel for banks, various 
 corporations, and large estates. The junior member became congressman, for three 
 successive terms, from the Third Gingressional District, Secretary of Gammerce and 
 Labor, and later Secretary of the Navy in President Roosevelt's cabinets. 
 
 The firm dissolved in 1906, and in 1908 Mr. George Metcalf formed a connec- 
 tion with the First National and First Trust and Savings Banks of Oakland, as 
 their counsel, a member of the directorate and vice-president and trust officer of the 
 latter bank, giving up entirely active practice. He is now (J9I0) devoting his 
 entire attention to banking and to his private interests, having many corporate 
 connections. 
 
 Metcalf has always been active in public affairs as a private citizen, never 
 seeking, but refusing, office of any kind; a Republican always, he has served 
 in the counsels of the party as delegate to county and state conventions, and was at 
 the Philadelphia Convention in J 900. A very active professional and business life 
 has exacted all his attention. He has written no books or other than professional 
 briefs, but has become an integral part and parcel of the life of a great and rapidly 
 growing community, where his name is writ in characters of respect and general 
 confidence. 
 
 For many years he has been very actively identified with the Masonic Order 
 in all its various branches, having earned and borne many of its highest honors. 
 He was, in J 897, the Right Eminent Grand Commander of California Knights 
 Templars, and is a life member of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templars 
 of the United States; also a Knight Commander of the Court of Honor, A. and 
 A.* S. R. 
 
 Metcalf married at Oakland, California, on January 23, 1873, Mary Field 
 Brockway, youngest daughter of Honorable John Hall Brockway (Yale, J 820), 
 resident of Ellington, Connecticut, a distinguished citizen of Connecticut, a prominent 
 lawyer, and at one time representative from Connecticut in Congress. The family 
 was an old New England family on both sides, reaching back to Colonial and 
 Revolutionary times. The mother, Flavia Field Colton, belonged to the old Colton 
 family, Longmeadow, Massachusetts. 
 
 The family of our classmate has consisted of four sons.

GEORGE D. MILLER

GEORGE DOUGLAS MILLER 
 
 [ILLER, Bom in Rochester, New York, November 5, 1847. Son of 
 Samuel Miller (Middlebury College, Qass of J822) and Mary Ann 
 (Douglas) Miller* His father, Samuel Miller, the sixth of seventeen 
 children, was bom at Williston, Vermont, March 9, J80t, and died at 
 Santa Barbara, California, October 20, J 888, He was a resident of Rochester, 
 New York, from J823 to J860, and of New Haven, Connecticut, from J86I to J888. 
 He was a judge and twice a New York senator. His marriage to Mary Ann 
 Douglas occurred May 20, 1833. 
 
 The earliest known ancestor in America on the father's side was Thomas 
 Miller, a resident of West Springfield, Massachusetts, who married Sarah, daughter 
 of Thomas Marshfield, in 1649. He was killed, October 5, J 675, by Indians, when 
 he risked his life to obtain water for women and children who were within the 
 stockade. By intermarriages of his descendants, our classmate numbers among his 
 ancestors Smiths, Jacksons, and Elliots. 
 
 The earliest known ancestor in America on the mother's side was William 
 Douglas, who was in Ipswich, Massachusetts, as early as 1 64 1. Before coming to 
 America he was married in Northamptonshire to Ann Mable (or Mattle), daughter 
 of Thomas M., of Ringstead. He died at New London, Connecticut, July 26, J 682. 
 Mary Ann Douglas, Miller's mother, was seventh in descent from the original 
 settler, and was bom in Lansingburg, New York, February 7, 1807. She died in 
 New Haven, Connecticut, July 15, 1882. Through intermarriages of the several 
 descendants of William Dot^las, our classmate is related to the Houghs, Wheelers, 
 Rathbuns, and Sutherlands. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 George Douglas Miller was prepared for college at General Russell's Collegiate 
 and Commercial Institute, New Haven, and at Williston Seminary, Easthampton, 
 Massachusetts. He entered Seventy in September, J 868, having previously been 
 connected with the Qass of J 869. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, 
 Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Skull and Bones. 
 
 The year following graduation Miller spent in studying modem languages and 
 administering the affairs of the Linonia Library, in New Haven. In September, 
 t87t, he entered the employ of a publishing house in New York City, which he left 
 in J 872 to accept the secretaryship of the New England Car Spring Company. 
 He held this position until J 879, when he became connected with the New York 
 and Straitsville Coal and Iron Company, a position which came to him through 
 William Walter Phelps (Yale, J 860), who held a controlling interest in the com- 
 pany. He was afterwards secretary of the New Haven Electric Light Company, 
 
 183 
 
and for a time secretary of the Thomson Paper and Pulp Company, of New 
 York State. 
 
 In J 879 he purchased the old Bostwick house at No* 497 (now No. t093) 
 Chapel Street, New Haven, where his only son was bom and died. Into this quaint, 
 early eighteenth century house he moved his family in J 879, and there they lived 
 until J 883. Early in 1885 Miller moved to Albany to take charge of the Wheeler 
 and Melick Company, the oldest manufacturer of farm tools in the country. After 
 the "decease of this concern" Miller took under his care some family real estate 
 in Albany and elsewhere, and this ever since has absorbed more or less of his 
 attention. He calls Albany his home, though much of his time has been spent, 
 in the summer, on Deer Island, Alexandria Bay (a property which he owns and 
 where he has hospitably entertained numbers of Yale men and other friends), and, 
 in the winter, on his vast estate of seventeen farms, stretching over a plateau of 
 nearly five miles, in Western North Carolina. But his travels between these 
 extreme residential points have by no means been his only wanderings. Three 
 times has he been around the world, tramping through Africa, Asia, and Europe, 
 and his Journeys in his own country have been many and extensive, his first trip 
 lasting four years. 
 
 Following the advice given one day to his division by dear old Professbr 
 Hadley: ** Young men, do not be ashamed of having hobbies. The man who goes 
 through life without hobbies is to be pitied," Miller confesses: "I have ridden hobby- 
 horses as far back as my memory goes, and they have given me ttnalloyed pleasure 
 and satisfaction. My fads have been multifarious and have consumed all my surplus 
 time and income, but they've given me increasingly good health and happiness." 
 Miller's fads, however, have been directed to good ends. The outcome of one of 
 them was the salvation of the old Albany Academy for Girls, the oldest institution 
 in this country for the education of women; and another was the building up of 
 the Albany Historical Society, of which he was for four years the president. At the 
 opening of this society's building, in J 89 9, the mayor of Albany referred to him 
 as the man who ''allied himself to the advancement, the history, and traditions of his 
 adopted home, and by his unflagging industry has achieved a result of which our 
 city and each citizen may be justly proud." Other fads of his have been the advo- 
 cacy by voice and pen of postal reform, civil service reform, spelling reform, the 
 election of good men to office irrespective of party affiliations, and the like. One 
 of his letters, addressed to the treasurer of the Connecticut Democratic State Com- 
 mittee, and widely circulated, has been assigned by good authority as the thing which 
 caused the election of Simeon E. Baldwin to the governorship of the state of Con- 
 necticut. Another subject that has called out numerous articles for the press from 
 Miller's trenchant pen is woman's suffrage, which he has attacked with a vigor that 
 leaves nothing to be said on his side of the question. An interesting paper on 
 
 tS4 
 
^Reminiscences of New Zealand" and various euIog:ies» particularly those in honor 
 of our classmate Tyler and "Billy" Sumner, are worthy of mention as adding to 
 Miller's literary output* 
 
 He was married. May 3, 1877, at Albany, New York, to Miss Anna de Peyster

SAMUEL ROSBBURGH MORROW 
 
 lORROW. Bom in Albany, New York, May 6, J849. Eldest son of 
 Rev. Samuel Frame Morrow, DJ), (bom at Zenia, Ohio, January 29, 
 J8I9), and Mary Roseburgh Morrow (bom in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, 
 June 22, J 826). His father was a graduate of Hanover Giflege, Lidiana, 
 in 1836, and his grandfatiher was a colonel in the War of J8JZ 
 
 fi fi ff 
 
 He was prepared for college at the Albany Academy (the institution where 
 Joseph Henry, principal, made the first experiments with the electric telegraph), 
 from which school he was graduated in 1866, one of his instructors being George W. 
 Atherton, Yale, J 863, professor of Latin. He entered Yale with the Class, and was 
 a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Alpha Delta Phi, and Phi Beta Kappa. He 
 graduated with a High Oration stand. 
 
 For three years after graduation he taught at the Hopkins Grammar School, 
 and followed this with three years in a tutor's chair at Yale. His purpose never 
 wavered from the profession of medicine, for which he made thorough preparation 
 and in which he has won success of a high order. During the years of teaching 
 he read medicine, and in the fall of J 876 entered the College of Physicians and 
 Surgeons, where he was graduated in J 878. The year before, he had received 
 appointment as junior assistant at Bellevue Hospital, and continued there for six 
 months after graduating, holding the position of house surgeon. In the spring of 
 1879 he went abroad for a year of medical studies, spending the time in Halle, 
 London, and Vienna. In 1880 he returned to Albany, where he has since been in 
 constant practice. He has been engaged in teaching ever since J 879, having held 
 various chairs in the Albany Medical College (Medical Department of Union Uni- 
 versity) since I88I, the most important being professor of Anatomy and Orthopedic 
 Surgery (I889-J90I) and professor of the practice of Surgery since I90I. He has 
 been secretary and vice-president of the Albany County Medical Society, attending 
 surgeon to the Albany Hospital, St. Peter's Hospital, Children's Hospital, and 
 Hospital for Incurables, all of Albany. He is a member of the New York Medical 
 Society and the American Academy of Medicine. He has contributed occasional 
 articles to the medical journals, but has written no books or pamphlets, and has 
 occupied no positions of importance. He is a member of the Aurania, University, 
 Camera and Medical Whist Qubs of Albany. 
 
 Morrow was married. May 8, J889, to Miss Elizabeth Gwynne Hutchins, 
 daughter of Stephen C. Hutchins (editor at different tinies of the Albany '* Evening

 received the degree of A.M. in }873. 
 
 The winter after graduation Perry taught school in Connecticut, and for three

 successful was he that he was chosen superintendent of the public schools of East 
 Jqliet, which position he held for three and one-half years, until he was elected 
 superintendent of schools in Will County, Illinois. Although he was nominated 
 by the Democratic party in this Republican county, he was elected by reason of his 
 successful work in connection with public schools. For five years he held the office 
 and then entered mercantile life, associating himself with the Joliet Manufacturing 
 Company, in Joliet, Illinois, as its secretary, a position which he filled until 1905,

JOHN HOYT PERRY 
 
 ;ERRY. Bom in Southport, Connecticut, July 26, 1848. Son of Oliver 
 Henry and Harriet (Hoyt) Perry* His father, who was bom in South- 
 port, February 2J, J8I5, entered Yale College in J830. Owing to ill 
 health he did not complete the academic course, but did graduate from 
 the Yale Law School in J 841* Yale gave him the honorary degree of M.A, in J 875. 
 He was always prominent in the public life of Connecticut, and eventually became 
 a banker. The Perry family started in Fairfield with the immigrant Richard Perry 
 in 1649. His mother, who was bom in Danbury, Connecticut, April 18, J 828, 
 descended from Simon Hoyt, who was in Salem, Massachusetts, about J 629, where 
 he was made a freeman in J 63 J. His son Walter became a resident of Norwalk, 
 and Walter's son, John, was a resident of Danbury as early as J670. 
 
 ^ /* ,* 
 
 John Hoyt Perry was prepared for college at Wilton Academy, Wilton, Con- 
 necticut, and entered the Class of J 869. On account of being out of college for a 
 year he entered the Class of Seventy at the beginning of Junior year. His society 
 record was with Linonia, Gamma Nu, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and 
 Skull and Bones. He received a High Oration appointment at graduation. 
 
 He was graduated from the Columbia Law School in May, 1872, with the 
 degree of LL.B., and immediately took up his residence in Southport, where he 
 has since lived. Up to 1 90 1, when he retired from business, he followed the pro- 
 fession of the law as a member of the firms of Perry, Woodward and Perry; Perry 
 and Perry; Perry, Perry and Hill; and independently, first at Norwalk, Connecti- 
 cut, until 1887, and after that at Bridgeport. He modestly says, "The bacl^ound 
 of my life until recent years was merely a country law practice." At all events, 
 his later years have been made conspicuous by the honorable positions to which he 
 has been called. He has several times been elected to the Connecticut l^islature, 
 of which body he was the popular speaker in J 889. From J 889 to J 893 he was 
 judge of the Court of Common Pleas; in J 900 to J 90 1, by appointment of President 
 McKinley, was counsel for the United States in arbitration with Chile; and in 1902 
 was chosen first vice-president of the Constitutional Convention which met in the 
 capitol at Hartford, over which he presided many times with distinguished success. 
 He is president of the Board of Commissioners of State Police, appointed by the 
 Supreme Court judges, and is lecturer on Parliamentary Law in the Yale Law 
 School. In recognition of his ability several governors have tried to persuade him 
 to sit on benches and do other laborious things; but he has been content to stay at 
 home, where he is president of the Southport Savings Bank, president of the Pequot 
 Library of over 23,000 volumes, and where he faithfully serves his church as chair-

man of its Executive Committee* He settles an occasional estate and affirms that 
 "in the various enterprises with which he is connected he gives much unfoUowed 
 and frequently unsolicited advice/' He has many times been honored by the Con- 
 gregational church, having been often called upon to preside over its important 
 assemblies. He was sent in \902 to represent this body as a delegate to the !biter- 
 national Congregational Conference at Edinburgh, where he acted as one of its pre- 
 siding officers* For several years he has been a corporate member of the American 
 Board, and is now a trustee of the Hartford Theological Seminary* 
 
 He has been an extensive traveler in his own country and has taken several 
 foreign trips* In t887 he and Mrs* Perry were presented at Court — the Queen's 
 Bench — in London* This trip was followed by others in J 892 and in 1896* In 
 }897 he visited Egypt and Palestine; in 1902, as has been stated, he was over in 
 Edinburgh; and in 19 JO attended the Passion Play at Oberammergau with his 
 family* He says that his favorite pastimes "are motoring, horseback riding, and

CARRINGTON PHELPS 
 
 ^HELPS. Bom in North G}Iebrook, G}nnecticut, October 3, J 847. Son 
 of General Edward Arah and Elizabeth Strong (Carrington) Phelps. 
 His father, who was bom in Colebrook, March 26, 1808, was educated 
 at Captain Partridge's Military School at Middletown, and at Judge 
 Gould's Law School at Litchfield, G)nnecticut. His grandfather. Captain Arah 
 Phelps, was a Revolutionary soldier. Our classmate sacredly treasures the manu- 
 script notes of Judge Gould's full course of lectures, which were taken down by his 
 father; also the commissions of his grandfather to the rank of captain, and father to 
 the rank of brigadier generaL Both were influential and widely known men in the 
 state. 
 
 The Phelps family in this country, of which Carrington Phelps is a member, 
 are descendants of William Phelps, who came from England to Dorchester, Massa- 
 chusetts, in J 632, and afterwards settled in Windsor, Connecticut, where he was 
 one of the first magistrates of the colony and otherwise prominent as a founder of 
 that beautiful town. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Carrington Phelps was prepared for college at the South Berkshire Institute, 
 New Marlboro, and under Professor Josiah Clark, of Northampton, Massachusetts. 
 He entered with the Qass, and was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, and Alpha 
 Delta Phi. He was awarded Second Prize at the Sophomore Declamation Contest. 
 In 1873 he received the degree of A.M. 
 
 At the time of entering college he was not strong, but had a great ambition to 
 become powerful. He became an example of what perfect physical development 
 careful and continued training will accomplish. There were few evenings outside 
 of the rowing season that did not find him in the gymnasium, and from the third 
 term of Freshman year he was continually on some crew. He was stroke of the 
 champion double scull of which "Billy" Betts was bow; stroke of the Class cham- 
 pion gig crew; bow of the 'Varsity crew of J 870; and finished his college career 
 by winning the single scull championship and the valuable "Southworth Cup" in 
 J 87 J, while in the Law School. 
 
 He selected, trained, and coxswained the Freshman crew of J 873 for the open 
 regatta of the spring of J 870. He acted as coxswain in that race, and for the first 
 time in the annals of the college the Freshman crew won, beating the Junior, 
 Sophomore, Scientific, and University crews. There was no Senior entry in the 
 race. The next regatta, about a month later, was won by one of the finest crews 
 Yale ever had, "Tom" Bennett's Scientific crew. This was a six-oared shell race, 
 
 i96 
 
CARRINGTON PHELPS 
 J870 and 19 J J 
 
and for it Phelps again trained the 1873 crew* They came in second, beating; the 
 University crew. The next day Phelps was put on the University crew. 
 
 The University crew of Seventy, of which he was bow, was the first coIIeg;e 
 crew to pull the sliding; stroke, the sliding; seats having been put in the shell by 
 Walter Brown, their inventor, the professional single scull champion of America, 
 when he began to train the crew. His single shell was also the first to be fitted 
 with the sliding seat in a college race. 
 
 On graduation Professor "Tommy" Thacher invited Phelps, on behalf of the 
 faculty, to remain at Yale in charge of the University athletics, particularly of 
 rowing; but he preferred to follow his chosen profession. 
 
 Accordingly he studied law one year at Yale. He then went West and was 
 admitted to the Wisconsin and Minnesota Bar in the Supreme Courts of those 
 states. For many years he was president of the First National Bank of Morris, 
 Minnesota. He was a large landholder in Minnesota, and much preferred the culti- 
 vation of the soil to his legal business. Holding possession of a fine old place in 
 his native town, which had come down to him throt^h six generations, he returned 
 thither in 1897 and has since followed the occupation which has always lain nearest 
 his heart, that of the gentleman farmer. 
 
 He was married in Iowa, September 19, 1872, to Miss Anna Catherine Wolcott. 
 One son, Carrington Arah, was bom to them May 28, J 876, who was fitted for Yale 
 at the Minneapolis High School and entered with the Class of 1901, Academic. 
 The change of climate proved injurious, and by advice of his physician he left college 
 during Sophomore year. Regaining his health he returned and entered the Law 
 School, but left just before graduation to enter journalism in New York. While in 
 the Law School he was captain of the wrestHng team and held the welter and middle 
 weight cups. He was the first man to win two intercollegiate championships in 
 one season, the welter and middle weight medal and cup. In his chosen field of 
 literature his progress is promising.

* EDWARD HAIGHT PHELPS 
 
 ^HELPS. Bom in Middlebury, Vermont, June 30, J847. Died March 20, 
 J 884. Son of Edward J. and Mary (Haight) Phelps, and grandson of 
 Senator Samuel S. Phelps and of Judge Stephen Haight — ^**of the best 
 Vermont blood on both sides." His father was one of the ablest of 
 lawyers, was a professor of Law in the Yale Law School, and served his country 
 as Ambassador to Great Britain* 
 
 fi ^ fi 
 
 Edward Haight Phelps passed his boyhood mainly in Burlington, Vermont, 
 pursuing preparatory stuc^es partly at the Rock Point Episcopal tistitute, partly 
 under private instructors. He entered the Qass Freshman year, and was a member 
 of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Wolf's Head. 
 
 Of his life after graduation the beautiful memorial of him by President Buck- 
 ham, of the University of Vermont, will best speak: "Having decided while in college 
 to adopt the profession of Qvil Engineering, he applied himself especially to Mathe- 
 matics, taking extra studies in this department, and thus laying a thorough founda- 
 tion for his professional course, which he took in the Engineering Department of 
 the University of Vermont, at Burlington, receiving the degree of C.E. in 1872. 
 
 "After completing his technical course he spent a wander year in Europe, 
 adding to his professional equipment by personal investigation of the methods and 
 achievements of European engineering. On his return, after a short service in con- 
 nection with the projected but soon abandoned New York and Montreal Railroad, 
 he received the appointment of city engineer of Burlington. ... In the building of 
 the Burlington and Lamoille Railroad he took a prominent part for so yout^ an 
 engineer. ... In 1878 he was offered and accepted an important trust in connection 
 with the Panama Railroad, which gave him opportunity for independent work. 
 This was the making of surveys and plans for the repair and partial reconstruction 
 of the Panama Railroad, and especially for a new system of docks which would 
 obviate the necessity of lighterage in the transfer of freight from water to land 
 carriage. The plan also included a new system of water supply for the city of 
 Panama. . . . The exhaustive study, however, which Mr. Phelps gave to the diffi- 
 cult problems presented, and the very high praise awarded to the plans he proposed, 
 were of great service to him in his subsequent career. 
 
 "In the spring of J880 Mr. Phelps was invited to a position the acceptance of 
 which led him into the most important work of his life. He was appointed chief 
 engineer of the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Division of the Michigan Central 
 Railroad, and in 1883 was promoted to be chief engineer of the entire Michigan 
 Central Road, one of the most extensive corporations in the country, operating no 
 
 J98 
 
EDWARD H. PHELPS 
 J 870 and J 882 
 
less than J ^00 miles of road. Of the services rendered by Mr. Phelps while hold- 
 ing the first of these responsible positions let Mr. Ledyard speak, the president of 
 the Michigan Central Road, himself a highly capable engineer and an accomplished 
 gentleman: 
 
 "'The Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Railroad was a marvelous piece of 
 engineering, through a most difficult country, and was prosecuted to success through 
 many obstacles. There are few new roads in this or any other state which will 
 compare favorably with this extension in thorough and workmanship construction.' 
 
 "Not to speak in detail of the many important works executed by Mr. Phelps 
 as chief engineer of this great road, in Mr. Ledyard's enumeration, 'tike rearrange- 
 ment and practical rebuilding of the yard at Detroit, the completion of the Essex 
 Center cut-off, the improvements in Canada, including the new yard at St. Thomas, 
 the replacement of the Kettle Creek bridge, the construction of the Niagara Falls 
 branch, including the approaches on the Canadian side to the cantilever bridge,' 
 we come to speak of the last named work, the famous cantilever bridge over 
 the Niagara River, the completion and the opening of which were great events. 
 Although not alone responsible for the construction and acceptance of the bridge, 
 Mr. Phelps bore in behalf of his road a heavy share of responsibility, and under- 
 went a great strain, both of labor and anxiety. In consequence of this strain, and 
 of the excessive labors of the whole previous year, and of exposures which in his 
 full vigor he might have borne with impunity, he was, in the latter part of January, 
 taken sick with fever, which soon developed typhoid symptoms. Against this 
 disease, with the manifold complications it took on from time to time, his splendid 
 physique and his brave and resolute spirit contended with characteristic persistence 
 and cheerfulness for several weeks. Attended all through his sickness by medical 
 skill of the highest order j cheered and ministered to by warmly attached friends, his 
 old college and professional associates; his bedside besieged by sympathizing and 
 anxious subordinates; tenderly watched over during the last five weeks of the linger- 
 ing disease by his mother, and in his last hours by his father, he was accompanied 
 to the bounds of life by the utmost affection and solicitude that human hearts can 
 bestow. He died at Detroit, March 20, 1884, and was buried in the family burial 
 lot in Green Mountain Cemetery, Burlington, on March 24. 
 
 "'Few men of Mr. Phelps's age,' writes Mr. Ledyard, 'have attained to so high 
 a degree of eminence in his chosen profession. ... In his lineage, education, business 
 qualifications, and views, he was a model type of an American gentleman.' 
 
 "In view of Mr. Phelps's great ability and growing eminence in his profession, 
 the University of Vermont in 1883 conferred upon him the honorary degree of 
 Master of Arts. 
 
 "It must be obvious to those who have watched this life, or who have read 
 even this simple story of it, that its remarkable success was largely due to moral 
 
 \99 
 
qualities* Mr. Phelps was intellectually well endowed; his mental faculties were 
 more than ordinarily acute, capacious, and well balanced. But that which more 
 than all else made him what he was and capable of doing; what he did, that which 
 g:ave direction and momentum to his native power and continuity and effectiveness 
 to his work, was a pure, strong;, and hig;h moral purpose. . . * 
 
 "Very beautiful, also, to those who were intimately associated with him, were 
 his lovable qualities. Modesty, which always accompanies true manliness, sat g;race- 
 fully upon him. He had a wonderful power of eliciting; affection from those who 
 were around him. It is said by one who knows them, that the trackmen along; 
 his road will shed tears when they hear of his death. « . . 
 
 "It is the natural sequel of all this to add that Mr. Phelps's life was an 
 eminently happy one. He had an ardent love for his profession. He had gtzat 
 faith in the future possibilities of the profession in this land of boundless undeveloped 
 resources. He knew that in choosing; it as his profession he had chosen wisely. He 
 was conscious of powers which g;rew with the growing; demands made upon them. 
 He saw opportunities for professional work opening before him beyond his loftiest 
 ambition. No wonder his life was a happy life, as every pure, strenuous, noble life 
 must be." 
 
 His associates in the Class of Seventy cannot fjiil to recognize in the above 
 address of President Buckham the same qualities of mind and heart that they 
 saw in Phelps while he was with us at Yale. He always bore himself like the 
 high-toned gentleman that he was, in the truest sense of the word.

* SANDS FISH RANDALL 
 
 J AND ALL. Bom in Mystic, Connecticut, May J8, 1846. Died May J5, 
 J9n. Son of Elias Perkins and Hannah (Fish) RandaU. His father 
 was bom at Stonington, Gsnnecticut, July 4, J82J. He was a descend- 
 ant of John Randall, who was in Rhode Island in 1667 and was a deputy 
 to the Rhode Island Assembly in 1682. His grandfather, William Randall, was 
 active in the War of J 8 12 and was in command at the Battle of Stonington, in 
 I8J4. He was also prominent in state affairs. His grandfather, Asa Fish, was 
 a well-known probate judge, and was also interested in affairs of state. The Fish 
 family are of Mayflower descent through John Alden. 
 
 ^ <* ^ 
 
 Randall was fitted for college at Stonington, Gjnnecticut, and entered with the 
 Qass. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, and 
 Delta Kappa Epsilon, and was graduated with a Philosophical Oration stand. 
 
 He tat^ht for a few months after graduation and then studied law. The 
 Columbia College Law School conferred upon him the degree of LL.B. when he 
 graduated from it in 1873. He began the practice of his profession in the office 
 of Stanley, Brown and Clark, 16 Wall Street. He was afterwards located at 
 J 95 Broadway, 99 Nassau Street, and 22 Vesey Street, New York. His residence 
 was in Brooklyn. 
 
 His health had been gradually failing previous to June, 1910, when he gave 
 up his business and went back to Mystic, Connecticut, his native place, where no 
 improvement took place. After February, 1911, he was confined to his bed the 
 greater part of the time. In the hope that a change of treatment would benefit 
 him, he was induced to go to the New London Hospital on May J J, where he died 
 of pneumonia the following Monday, May J5. He was buried at Mystic three 
 days later. 
 
 Randall was a good scholar, a man of solid rather than of brilliant ability, 
 and was highly esteemed by his classmates. He was a loyal son of Yale, to which, 
 out of his modest means, he bequeathed a thousand dollars as a testimonial of 
 his regard for his Alma Mater.

 and Norths our classmate is descended from the Judds and Beldens, two families 
 that have figured largely in the history of Connecticut. 
 
 Samuel Atwater Raymond was prepared for college partly at Williston Semi- 
 nary, Easthampton, Massachusetts, and partly under Professor Josiah Clark at 
 Northampton, in the same state. He entered with the Class and was a member

CHARLES Mccormick reeve 
 
 3EEVE. Bom in Dansville, New York, August 7, t847. Son of General 
 Isaac V. D. Reeve, a graduate of the United States Military Academy, 
 Oass of 1835, and Elizabeth Mann (Shepard) Reeve. The founders of 
 the Reeve family in this country were James and Thomas Reeve, who 
 came to Long Island in the "Bevis" in 1640. The mother's ancestor, Ralph 
 Shepard, came from Stepney Parish, London, in J635, and was among the first 
 settlers of Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1636, Other families with which the Reeves 
 and Shepards were connected are the Hurlbuts, Howells, Strongs, and Terrys. 
 
 Charles McCormick Reeve was prepared for college at Canandaigua Academy, 
 Canandaigua, New York. His society connections in college were with Linonia, 
 Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, He is also a member of Wolf's Head. 
 In Sophomore year he took Second Prize in Declamation. Four prizes were 
 awarded him in Linonia Prize Debates: the Second Prize, Freshman year, and the 
 Third Prize in each of the following years. He was president of Beethoven Soci- 
 ety, manager of the Yale Glee Qub, chairman of Junior Exhibition Committee, and 
 floor manager of the Junior Promenade. He received his A,B. with the Class, and 
 in J 873 was awarded the degree of A,M. 
 
 After graduation he spent a few months with Professor Marsh in his exploring 
 expedition through the West, then took up his residence in Plymouth, Indiana, in 
 November, J 870, where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in J 87 1. Since 
 June of that year his residence has been in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For a few 
 months he practiced law in Minneapolis, but afterwards abandoned the general prac- 
 tice of his profession to engage in business. From J 872 to 1884 he was connected 
 with the City Bank of Minneapolis, occupying, seriatim, the positions of bookkeeper, 
 assistant cashier, and cashier. For five years he was manager of the Hardwood 
 and Storage Manufacturing Company, and for seven years president of the Holly 
 Flouring Mills. At different times he has been an officer and director in various 
 commercial and charitable organizations. In 1&99 to 1901 he was warden of the 
 Minnesota State Prison, occupying that position until a change in the administration 
 of state affairs led to his retirement. Besides filling the above positions with credit to 
 himself and advantage to the concerns with which he has been connected, he has been 
 enabled to enjoy his large farm on the border of Lake Harriet, a beautiful body of 
 water near Minneapolis, where he has had one of the finest herds of Jersey cattle 
 in the United States. He has also found time to serve his generation in many ways 
 that have been highly creditable, among which may be mentioned: acting as instruc-

CHARLES M. REEVE 
 J870 and J898 
 
tor in Elocution in the University of Minnesota, J 878 to J879j serving in 1890 as a 
 member of the Minnesota Legislature, to which he was elected on the Democratic 
 ticket by overcoming a Republican majority of about fourteen hundred? acting as 
 commissioner from Minnesota and Nebraska, in 1892, to distribute flour to the starv- 
 ing Russians? from J89J to J894 serving as secretary of the Board of World's Fair 
 Managers for the state of Minnesota, for which he received the thanks of the Legis- 
 lature, by Joint action, in J895j and in 1894 acting as a member of the Board of 
 Commissioners of the Antwerp exhibition. 
 
 But it is in the capacity of a military man that Charles McCormick Reeve has 
 become most widely known. Enlisting in J 882 as a private in the First Infantry, 
 Minnesota National Guard, he rose by successive steps, as captain, major, lieutenant 
 colonel, to the Colonelcy of his regiment. In J 898, at the opening of the War with 
 Spain, he offered his services to President McKinley, which were accepted, and in 
 May, 1898, he with his regiment, the Thirteenth Minnesota, was mustered into 
 service. At the special request of General Wesley Merritt, the regiment was assigned, 
 by order of the President, to the Philippine expedition. As a portion of General 
 McArthur's First Division of the Eighth Army Corps, they reached Manila on the 
 30th of July, took part in the skirmishes before the city, and bore an important part 
 in its capture on the 1 3th of August. The casualties in Colonel Reeve's regiment 
 were almost as numerous as those of all the rest of the army combined. For his 
 gallant and meritorious services in the capture of the city he was made a Brigadier 
 General of Volunteers. He was also appointed by General McArthur the first 
 military chief of police of the city and deputy provost marshal general. He was 
 honorably mustered out of the service, April 29, J 899. In 1900 he returned to the 
 service of the state of Minnesota and was reelected to the command of the First 
 Infantry, which office he still holds. 
 
 General Reeve's travels have been extensive and varied. Three times he has 
 visited Canada and British Columbia; has been to Jamaica twice, twice to Panama, 
 and has visited Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Buenos 
 Aires, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, crossing the Andes three times; has made five trips 
 to Europe, making the usual rounds, including Russia, Spain, Turkey, and Greece; 
 and has also been in Algiers, Tunis, Sicily, three times in Egypt, and has seen Syria, 
 Damascus, Rhodes, Cyprus, Lesbos, Tenedos, India, Burma, Ceylon, the Philip- 
 pines, China, Japan, and the Hawaiian Islands twice. And all this has not inter- 
 fered with his gaining a knowledge of his own country, for he has visited every 
 state in the Union and every dty of importance in the land, having crossed the 
 continent more than twenty times. 
 
 He has found time to write a very entertaining book, entitled, "How We Went 
 and What We Saw" (published by Putnams, New York, in J890), and a graphic 
 description of "The Great Military Review at Agra, J 907," a Loyal Legion publi- 
 
 205 
 
cation. In recognition of his literary work he has been made a member of the 
 Society of American Authors, 
 
 The other societies and clubs with which he has been connected are as follows: 
 Lurline Boat Qub (president and captain), Minnetoaka Yacht Qub (commodore), 
 Mendelssohn Club (president), Apoflo Club (president). Automobile Qub, West 
 Side Club, Commercial Qub — all of Minneapolis; member of Yale Qub (New 
 York), Graduates' Qub (New Haven), Aztec Qub of J847 (military); member 
 of the Loyal Leg:ion (president). Society of the Army of Philippines, Society of 
 Foreign Wars, and member of the Masons and Odd Fellows. 
 
 He was married, June 4, 1873, to Miss Christine McClaren, daughter of Captain 
 James R. Lawrence, formerly of Syracuse, New York, who was an attorney and 
 died in New Orleans during the Qvil War from fever contracted in the line of duty.

JOSHUA B. RICH

*JOSHUA BARTLETT RICH 
 
 llCH* Bom at Roxbury, Massachusetts, August 23, 1844. Died Febru- 
 ary 25, J 896. Son of Joshua Gross and Mary Noble (Day) Rich. His 
 father was one of the most noted of the veteran hunters and guides of 
 the Rangeley Lakes in Maine, and up to old age was actively engaged 
 as a trial justice, pension solicitor, and newspaper correspondent. 
 
 His mother, a native of Roxbury, shared with her husband for forty years the 
 perils and hardships of their home in the primitive forests of Maine. She was 
 the mother of fourteen children. Her death occurred in J 884. 
 
 .* <* ^ 
 
 Joshua Bartlett Rich was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, 
 and entered Yale with the Qass of J 869, but left college at the end of Junior year on 
 account of ill health. After a year's absence he entered Seventy at the beginning 
 of Senior year and graduated with the Class. He was a member of Linonia and 
 Delta Kappa. 
 
 After graduation he taught for a year in a classical school in Lyme, G)n- 
 necticut. He then pursued a course of study in the Jefferson Medical College, 
 Philadelphia, from which he was graduated in J 874. 
 
 In September, 1876, he settled in Worcester and became superintendent of the 
 Qty Hospital, which office he had to abandon five years later in order to meet 
 the requirements of his increasing practice. For two years he was president of the 
 Worcester District Medical Society. He was also a member of the Worcester Med- 
 ical Improvement Society and the American Academy of Medicine. He held a high 
 standing in each branch of Masonry. 
 
 His death, which took place on February 25, 1896, at his home in Worcester, 
 was caused by pneumonia, though its immediate cause was heart failure. 
 
 An intimate friend wrote of him: 
 
 **Dr. Rich*s wide practice and popularity were vastly augmented by his fidelity 
 of attention, and the extent and multitude of his quiet benefactions and secret chari- 
 ties will never be half understood. As a surgeon and anatomist he held an eminent 
 rank; his throat practice exceeded that of the specialists, and his gynecological prac- 
 tice was very extensive. It is impossible to emphasise adequately the admirable- 
 ness of the spirit and method of his life and practice. Even the abrupt termination 
 of his mortal appearance among us seems to have come as a result of his devotion 
 to his high vocation. The entreaties of friends, to whom his lessening vitality was 
 painfully apparent, failed to entice him to a respite from his incessant exertions ere 
 his overtaxed heart ceased from its wearied throbbings. 
 
 "Preeminently, Dr. Rich was a knight of truth, justice, and right, never hesitat- 
 
 207 
 
ing: to sacrifice comfort, human opinion, and self-interest in the cause of humanity 
 and equity* To the depraved, the soul-disordered, and the sin-sick his very pres- 
 ence was a truce to vice, as well as an assuagement to suffering;* 
 
 ''Ever earnest and marked by a regal digfnity, supported alike hy interior 
 character and physical endowment, he was equally cordial, gentle, and companion? 
 able to those who enfoyed his friendship/' 
 
 He was married, February 8, J 873, to Miss Sarah Jeanne Wrigley, dat^hter 
 of Edward Wrigley, a prominent merchant of Philadelphia. She was one of the 
 teachers in the Institution for the Blind, "where her unselfish devotion and Chris- 
 tian benevolence wrought marked results in the intellectual and moral progress of 
 her pupils/*

HENRY A. RILEY 
 J 870 and J 883 
 
* HENRY AUGUSTUS RILEY 
 
 ^ILEY. Born in Montrose, Pennsylvania, December 20, 1848. Died 
 jjune 9, J 892* Son of Henry A. and Blendena M. Riley, 
 
 The founder of the family in this country was John Riley, who 
 came from Eng;Iand in 1621. He was one of the early settlers of the town 
 of Wethersfield, the first town settled in Connecticut. His son. Lieutenant Isaac 
 Riley, married Ann Butler, whose family were among the first residents of Hartford, 
 Connecticut. 
 
 One of his descendants, the grandfather of Henry A. Riley, was Isaac Riley, a 
 shipping merchant and publisher of the city of New York (bom in Berlin, Connecti- 
 cut, November 29, 1770; died in Portland, Maine, March J4, J824). He married 
 Hannah AIsop, of Middletown, Connecticut, a family prominent in Connecticut and 
 New York, her great-grandfather, John Alsop, being a prominent lawyer of that city, 
 who died April 8, J 76 1, and was buried in Trinity Churchyard. His son, John 
 Alsop, Jr., was a vestryman of Trinity Church, a prominent politician in the state 
 of New York, and a member of the Colonial Legislature and a delegate to the First 
 Continental Congress, held in Carpente/s Hall, Philadelphia, in 1774. Henry A. 
 Riley, father of Henry A. Riley of the Class of Yale, 1870, was born in the city of 
 New York, November 2t, J80J. InJ8t8he entered the Classical Department of the 
 University of Pennsylvania, and graduated from the Medical Department in J 825. 
 For four years he practiced medicine in New York, his native city, and then entered 
 Princeton Theological Seminary, graduating in 1832. The rest of his life was spent 
 as a Presbyterian minister, first with a church in New York, and afterwards, for 
 twenty-five years, as pastor of the church at Montrose, Pennsylvania. 
 
 /^ /f /^ 
 
 Henry Atigustus Riley was prepared for college at the Hudson River Institute, 
 Claverack, New York, graduating as Salutatorian of his class. He entered our Class 
 Freshman year and graduated with a Dispute stand. He was a member of Linonia, 
 Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, and Alpha Delta Phi. 
 
 In the autumn after graduation he went to Ashland, Pennsylvania, to study 
 engineering; but not finding the work congenial, he went to New York within a year 
 or two, and became the assistant editor of the "Christian Intelligencer,'* a paper that 
 was conducted by his half-brother, the Reverend Isaac Riley. He soon entered the 
 Columbia College Law School, from which he was graduated in J 874. He entered 
 immediately upon the practice of the law, which profession he followed up to within 
 two years of his death, though it was varied after his health began to fail by journeys 
 to the West for the sale of lands. His last two years were passed in invalidism, 
 
 209 
 
and his death was immediately caused by a slight strain which induced heart failure. 
 Although a great sufferer, "he was always so brave and cheerful that his life was a 
 blessing to all around him," 
 
 When he was unable to pursue active work he wrote much for religious papers, 
 and the last two years of his life were devoted to writing upon Medical Law. The 
 "New York Medical Journal/' in a notice of his death, says that "he was well known 
 to the medical profession by his contributions upon Medical Jurisprudence to this 
 and other Journals. In this direction his work was unique, for he developed a field 
 before unoccupied, being quite different from that of Medical Jurisprudence as that 
 term is commonly understood." At the time of his death he was busy in preparing 
 a course of lectures to be delivered before some medico-legal societies, many doctors 
 having urged him to prepare them. He had previously contributed a number of 
 articles to cyclopedias, and was at work on a book appertaining to medico-legal 
 matters when he was called away. 
 
 In the Biographical Record of the Class of Seventy published in 1904, an appre- 
 ciative tribute is paid him by an acquaintance, as follows: "He looked upon the 
 different legal problems which came to him for determination more as a philosopher 
 or student of science than would the every-day lawyer. He disliked the strife of the 
 forum, but he loved justice for its own sake, no matter upon which side it lay, and 
 that was the polar star from which no desire for a client's advantage could swerve 
 him. If he had one quality which seemed to impress itself on his friends more 
 strongly than another it was conscientiousness. Absolute devotion to duty, for con- 
 science' sake, was his motto. Add to this a sweetness of temper almost without a 
 parallel and you have the man as his professional brethren knew him. In all his 
 business relations with his clients, or any with whom he had dealings, he was an 
 authority, for every one knew that his word and his judgment could be depended 
 on. Those who had him as an advocate knew they would succeed exactly in 
 proportion to the justness of their claims. As a result he made friends of the better 
 class of clients, and those who once employed him always felt more ready to do 
 so a second time. He made a name for probity and fair dealing that would 
 have been a fortune to him had he lived. He leaves as many friends as he had 
 acquaintances." 
 
 Riley was distinctively a religious man and gave much of his strength to the 
 promotion of the interests of his church. For about ten years he conducted an 
 adult Bible class in the Sunday school of the Thirty-fourth Street Reformed Church, 
 New York, and was for seven years the superintendent of the school. His 
 gentleness won the hearts of the children, as his consistent Christian character, his 
 gentlemanly deportment and ripe scholarship gained for him the admiration and 
 affection of those who were associated with him in Christian service. Of his home 
 life it is said that "it was beautifully guided by marvelous patience and sweet cheer- 
 
 2t0 
 
fulness, and even in times of great suffering was full of loving care and responsive 
 sympathy for those about him. His character, always devotedly Christian, became 
 refined almost to spirituality as his life developed." 
 
 That such tributes could be paid to Riley occasioned no surprise to those who 
 were most intimately associated with him in college, so pure and conscientious 
 was he in all the relations which he sustained while with us. 
 
 He was married in Calvary Baptist Church, New York Qty, November 4, 
 1880, to Miss Marianna, daughter of Erastus Littlefield*

* GEORGE ALEXANDER ROBINSON 
 
 OBINSOR Bom in Baltimore, Maryland, January 3J, J848. Died 
 November 28, IB7U Son of Jeremiah M, Robinson. 
 
 <* ^ <* 
 
 He entered coIIeg;e with the Gass and was a member of Linonia and Delta 
 Kappa. 
 
 After graduation he went to Philadelphia to study medicine, with the idea of 
 entering the naval service of the United States. While preparing for two examina- 
 tions on the 28th of November, J 87 J, one for the degree of MJD. and the other for 
 the position of assistant surgeon in the navy, he was stricken down in his room 
 with a stroke of apoplexy, where he was found dead several hours after he was last 
 seen to enter his apartment. Gary, Rich, and Wordin were present at his burial 
 at Woodland Cemetery, Philadelphia. 
 
 In a resolution passed by the students of the Medical College with which he 
 was connected occur the foflowing words: **The many friends who knew, him in 
 the lecture room feel that they have parted with one whose amiable character, high 
 principle, and gentlemanly deportment made him a valued associate.'^ 
 
 Seventy's **Ivy Song," which was sung the night when the Class broke up, 
 never to be entirely reunited, was Robinson's tender contribution to our most valuable 
 Class assets. It seems to have been his ''swan song."

*JOHN ALEXANDER ROSS 
 
 OSS, Bom in Grecnupsburg, Kentucky, January 27, 1850. Died 
 October \9, 1901, Son of Lewis D. Ross, Esq., a lineal descendant of 
 George Ross, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and 
 Katherine (Gadauban) Ross, of French Hi^uenot descent. 
 
 A? ^ ,* 
 
 He entered with the Qass and was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Phi 
 Theta Psi, Alpha Delta Phi, and Scroll and Key. He graduated with an Oration 
 stand. 
 
 After graduation Ross studied law in Ashland, Kentucky, Sioux Qty, Iowa, 
 and Kansas Qty, Missouri. Here he was admitted to practice in 1872, and here 
 he lived until his death, which occurred October J 9, J 90 1, after a confinement of 
 three weeks in his room — his illness being the culmination of Br^ht's disease, from 
 which he had suffered for several years. 
 
 He had come to Kansas Qty as a visitor, having it in his mind to enter upon 
 the practice of his profession in New York Qty. But thinking the climate might 
 better suit his condition of health he decided to locate in the Western city. He 
 formed a partnership with A. A. Tomlinson, with whom he was associated to the 
 end, though iinother member was added to the firm after a while, the new firm name 
 appearing as Tomlinson, Ross and Drew. 
 
 In J 889 Ross, being in failing health, went abroad with his wife and daughter, 
 and remained a year traveling extensively in Europe. On his return, "he deemed 
 it best not to enter at once on the practice of the law, and for a few years he engaged 
 in other business less prejudicial to his health. In 1894 he returned to his profession, 
 but confined himself to office practice and the management of large estates, of which 
 he had many intrusted to his care." 
 
 How he was regarded by the Kansas Qty Bar Association is told in the follow- 
 ing minute, which was passed by this body and spread upon their records: "Mr. Ross 
 was a charter member of the Bar Association of Kansas Qty. His genial nature, 
 ability as a man and lawyer, and his sense of honor made him much beloved and 
 respected by every one. He was by nature, education, and training a refined, 
 scholarly gentleman, always dvil, courteous, kind, and obliging, and considerate 
 of the rights and feelings of others j a well-informed man and able lawyer, a con- 
 servative and safe counselor; but with all his natural gifts and attainments a very 
 modest and retiring person, yet possessed of a strong individuality and great firm- 
 ness of character. He never resorted to * sharp practice,' but was straightforward, 
 honest, and conscientious in all his dealings, and commanded the respect and confi- 
 dence of every person.**

At the meeting of the above association his partner, Mr. Tomlinson, spoke most 
 touchingly of Ross's great gift, in the exercise of which every Seventy man received 
 rare pleasure during our college days. Here are his words: "With other gifts 
 Ross had a voice of wonderful pathos and beauty. On public occasions he was 
 much sought after to provide the music, and was so popular that if it were known 
 that he would sing hundreds, possibly thousands, wodd attend to hear him. At 
 one time a meeting was called to be held at Coates Opera House for the purpose 
 of soliciting contributions for the poor. Notices were sent out that John Ross 
 would sing. Consequently the house was filled to overflowing, and after addresses 
 by Drs. Hopkins, Mann, and others, Mr. Ross sang two or three numbers, during 
 which it seemed to me that half of the audience were in tears. I mention this as 
 only one of a great many occasions of this kind where he sang with marvelous 
 beauty and sweetness and attracted large audiences.'* 
 
 Another member of the bar spoke of "that beautiful voice, so constantly and 
 often raised in the cause of religion and charity," as "the outward manifestation 
 of the sweet and gentle spirit that dwelt within. It was but the index of the life 
 which he lived." 
 
 Possessed of a deeply religious temperament, Ross was actively associated with 
 Grace Episcopal Church in furthering its interests, not only with his voice as chor- 
 ister, but also as a vestryman and treasurer. "No work in the parish was too 
 great for his ability j no work there too small for his interest and attention." 
 
 A window in memory of him was placed in the church on December 23, t90I, 
 by personal friends, at the dedication of which, on Christmas Day, the following 
 words were uttered by the rector: "I lack time, not words, for they rise sponta- 
 neously to my lips, to tell what John Ross was to me and to you in this parish. 
 Simple, unostentatious, almost reserved, he nevertheless came in time of sorrow 
 and distress into a host of lives with a consoling voice. The window just unveiled 
 needs no explanation for such as have lived in Kansas Qty during the last quarter 
 of a century. That young David, strong and fair, whose harp had power to still 
 a troubled mind and cheer a melancholy heart, is the fitting, one might say the 
 inevitable, type of that man who in so many homes hushed and darkened by 
 death sang in sweetest strains the consolation of the Christian faith." 
 
 Of what he was in the inner sanctuary the following quotation will best show: 
 "In his home life he was very happy, and his consideration for the welfare of his 
 family was sincere and tender. He did not leave a large fortune in worldly goods, 
 but left a priceless legacy in a name that will endure longer than riches." 
 
 Ross was a member of the Sons of the Revolution, being entitled to a place in 
 that body through his lineal descent from George Ross and from Samuel Wheeler, 
 a Connecticut patriot. 
 
 He was married, December 26, 1876, to Miss Marie Mansfield, of St. Joseph, 
 
 214 
 
Missouri, who survives him with their only child. Miss Katherine G., who was 
 bom February 24, J879.

JAMES MATSON RUSSELL 
 
 RUSSELL. Bom in Paris, Kentucky, December 29, J 846, Son of Robert 
 Spotswood and Louise (Matson) Russell. His father, who was bom in 
 Fayette County, Kentucky, October 25, J8J8, and died September 24, 
 1852, was educated at Transylvania University, Lexington, Kentucky, 
 and passed his life on his farm in Bourbon Gjunty in the same state. He was 
 one of the first to import shorthom cattle into this country. The Russell family 
 trace their origin to Normandy and thence to England, where lands were assigned 
 to ancestors of the Kentucky family soon after the G)nquest in Northumberland. 
 In 1 7 JO William Russell came from England to Virginia with Sir Alexander 
 Spotswood in the man-of-war "Deptford." He died, October J8, J757, in Cul- 
 peper Gjunty, Virginia, owning much land that had been granted him by the 
 English crown. His son. General William Russell, bom in J 735, married TaHtha 
 Adams, of Virginia, was educated at William and Mary College, iind served with 
 distinction in the Revolutionary War. He was in the battle at Germantown, where 
 he especially distinguished himself j in the Battle of Monmouth, and was at York- 
 town when Comwallis surrendered. He was for several years in the Virginia 
 senate, and received a grant of two thousand acres in Fayette County, Kentucky. 
 His son. General Robert Spotswood Russell, who was bom, March 28, 1762, in 
 Culpcper County, Virginia, and married Deborah Allen, of Kentucky, enlisted in 
 the Continental Army when but eighteen years old and served until the end of 
 the war. He served in the Kentucky Legislature and was general of a Kentucky 
 brigade of militia. His son, the grandfather of our classmate, was Colonel Thomas 
 Allen Russell, who was bom, February 5, 1794, in Fayette County, Kentucky, was 
 educated at Transylvania University, and married Anne Mastin Allen, of Shenan- 
 doah, Virginia. He was in the Battle of River Basin in J8J2, where he was made 
 a prisoner. He served as sheriff and as a member of the Legislature and as colonel 
 of the Tenth Regiment State Militia. 
 
 On his mother's side Russell is descended from the Webbs of Scott County, 
 Kentucky, through his grandmother, Lucy Webb, who was bom January 22, J 8 JO, 
 and from the Matsons through his grandfather, James S. Matson, a large land- 
 owner in Bourbon County, Kentucky, who was bom September I, J 805, and died 
 September 4, J 860. 
 
 James Matson Russell was prepared for college at White Plains Military Insti- 
 tute, White Plains, New York. He was in the Qass of J 869 for two years, and 
 came into our Qass Junior year. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Phi 
 Theta Psi, Alpha Delta Phi, and Scroll and Key.

LAURISTON LIVINGSTON SCAIFE 
 
 ICAIFE. Bom, May 23, J850, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, The ninth 
 of thirteen children of WiUiam Borrett and Mary (Frisbee) Scaife. 
 
 William Borrett Scaife's father, Jeffery Scaife, was bom in Cam- 
 bridge, England, whence his father, Henry Scaife — a bookbinder — emi- 
 grated to America about J 790. Shortly afterwards the son, Jeffery, a boy of seven 
 years of age, was broi^ht over to Philadelphia by a relative, and later went to Pitts- 
 burg, where, on attaining manhood, he became established in manufacturing tin 
 and sheet iron wares, and married Lydia Borrett (also bom in England), daughter 
 of William Borrett, 
 
 Scaife's mother, Mary Frisbee, was a dat^hter of Ephraim Frisbee, who was 
 one of the Frisbee brothers who settled in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, about J8t0, 
 and were among the earliest steamboat builders. 
 
 [They are mentioned in this connection by Robert Fulton, in an autograph 
 letter, now in the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg.] 
 
 So far as known, Scaife's earliest ancestor on the maternal side in this country 
 was his great-great-grandfather, Ebenezer Frisbee, of Sharon, Connecticut, whose 
 son, Hezefciah Frisbee (also bom in Sharon, Connecticut), moved to Duanesburgh, 
 Schenectady County, New York, and married Susan Marvin, Their children in- 
 cluded Scaife's grandfather, Ephraim Frisbee, and the other brothers above mentioned 
 who settled later in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Other families with which the Frisbees intermarried were the Marcys and the 
 Peakes. 
 
 The Secretary and others of the Qass have tried to get Scaife to furnish a 
 biographical note of himself, but he declines; and, as an alleged precedent for his 
 declination, offers some old Italian saying which he attempts to quote from memory 
 as follows: 
 
 "Chi lo sa non scrivej chi scrive non lo sa," 
 
 However, we know that Scaife was prepared for college at the Pittsburg Central 
 High School, from which he was graduated at the head of his class; that he entered 
 Yale with Seventy, and that he was graduated with a Dissertation stand. He was 
 a member of Brothers, of Delta Kappa, and of Alpha Delta Phi. He is also a member 
 of Wolf's Head. 
 
 After graduation he entered the Harvard Law School, from which he was grad- 
 uated in June, J 87 1. He then entered a Boston law office and was admitted to the 
 bar in April, 1872. Since that time he has been engaged in the practice of his pro- 
 fession, though he has found time to take a trip to Europe and to indulge his musical

taste, in the exercise of which he gave so much pleasure to his classmates and to the 
 college at large while he was with us in New Haven. He has translated German 
 opera, composed some excellent music, and been a member of the famous Apollo 
 Club of Boston* 
 
 It is but fair to quote what he wrote of himself some years ago, as embodying 
 the modest opinion of himself which he still evidently holds to with characteristic 
 tenacity: **l am not aware that I have received professional honors. I have held 
 no political office, have no military record (which I greatly regret), am not a church 
 member, and have held no church office* I have been and am simply a lawyer, and 
 have had a fair measure of success, modified, as usually happens, by defeat* For the 
 sake of Yale, Seventy, I should like to be able to produce the symbols of high use- 
 fulness to the world; but I can only feel that I have sometimes been helpful to my 
 'neighbor,' who would not like to have his affairs discussed or recorded, even in a 
 class history? and I have not always been able even to secure to the * neighbor' the 
 benefits to which I felt he was entitled legally and ethically*" 
 
 Scaife was married in Boston on December 31, J 873, to Miss Helen Amelia 
 Sprague, of Boston, Massachusetts, daughter of Charles James Sprague and grand- 
 daughter of Charles Sprague* 
 
 CHILDREN 
 
 Roger Livingston, b. at Boston, Massachusetts, August J4, t875 
 
 Helen Sprague, b* at Boston, Massachusetts, October 28, 1882 
 
 Roger Livingston Scaife was graduated at Harvard in the Class of 1897, and on 
 May 26, 1906, married Ethel May Bryant, of Hingham, Massachusetts, daughter of 
 Frederic Eugene Claghom Bryant* Two children have been bom of this marriage: 
 Lauriston Livingston Scaife, 2d, born in Milton, Massachusetts, October 17, J 907: 
 and Elizabeth Lincoln Scaife, bom in Milton, January JO, 1 9 10* 
 
 As an instance of reversion to an earlier type, it may be noted that Roger Scaife's 
 great-great-grandfather, Henry Scaife, was a bookbinder, and that Roger is a pub- 
 lisher, being one of the directors and active members of the Houghton Mifflin Co*, 
 owners of the Riverside Press* 
 
 Scaife's daughter (Helen Sprague) was married on October 4, 1906, to Reginald 
 Lauran Robbins, of Milton, son of the late Dr* James H* Robbins, of Hingham, 
 and a graduate of the Harvard Qass of J 897* 
 
 Robbins is a member of the law firm of Scaife, Robbins and Fullerton, of Boston* 
 
 One child has been bom of this marriage: Laura Robbins, bom in Milton, 
 April n, J909* 
 
 Scaife's address: 19 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts*

* EDWARD HEARTT SCHELL 
 
 ^CHELL. Bom, September, 30, J 848, in Troy, New York, in the home of 
 his grandfather, the Honorable Jonas G)e Heartt, Mayor of Troy and 
 afterwards Speaker of the Assembly at Albany. Died January 25, J9J0. 
 His father, Edward Schell, was one of four sons of Christian Schcfl, the 
 three others being At^ustus, Richard, and Robert Schell, and was bom in Rhine- 
 beck-on-Hudson, November 5, I8J9. He was for twenty years president of the 
 Manhattan Savings Institution at Broadway and Bleecker Street. 
 
 Schell's mother was Jane Lamberson, daughter of Jonas Qx Heartt. 
 
 ^ ^ ,* 
 
 Edward Heartt Schell was prepared for college at Doctor Choules' School in 
 Newport, Rhode Island, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member 
 of Brothers and Delta Kappa. 
 
 After graduation he traveled for eight months in Europe, and then took up 
 the study of the law in Columbia Law School. After receiving his degree he entered 
 the firm of Fellows, Hoyt and Schell and practiced law for several years in New 
 York Qty, the firm afterwards being Hoyt and Schell. He was for many years 
 counsel for the Manhattan Savings Institution. He was a member of the St. Nicholas 
 Society, trustee of the Northern Dispensary, a director of the Manhattan Life Insur- 
 ance Company, and a member of the St. Nicholas and Manhattan Clubs. He was 
 a member of the Episcopal Church and vestryman at Christ Church, Rye, New York. 
 
 He lived for many years at J9 East Twenty-fourth Street, and spent his 
 summers at his country place at Rye, Westchester County, or in Europe. 
 
 He died in New York Qty, January 25, I9I0. The funeral service was held 
 in the Church of the Ascension, Tenth Street and Fifth Avenue, on January 28, and 
 the burial was in the family plot in Woodlawn Cemetery. 
 
 He was married in New York, October 27, J 886, to Miss Cornelia Elizabeth 
 Barnes, daughter of William Evarts Barnes and his wife, Mary Spies, who survives 
 him. 
 
 Schell was one of the quiet, gentlemanly men of our Qass, who made no effort 
 to achieve distinction in any line of sport or otherwise. But he is remembered by us 
 as one who might well fill the positions in life to which he afterwards attained.

 William P. and Margaretta (Reamer) SchelL 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 His preparation for college was obtained at Edgehill Academy, Princeton. He 
 entered the Freshman class of Princeton College, where he remained a year and then 
 came into Seventy in Sophomore year, being one of the youngest members of the 
 Class. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa 
 Epsilon, and Scroll and Key. He graduated with a Dispute stand. 
 
 After graduation he entered the Columbia College Law School and remained 
 a year. He then entered the law office of J. C. Bullitt, Esq., in Philadelphia, and 
 was admitted to the bar in June, 1873. In the following September he settled in 
 Reading, Pennsylvania, where he practiced law up to the time of his death. He 
 had at times been obliged to intermit his practice owing to ill health, but his energy 
 and pluck enabled him to attend to business when many would have given up and 
 resigned themselves to hopeless invalidism. 
 
 For several years he held the office of county solicitor and the presidency of the 
 Seventh Ward Democratic Club. He was a member of the Democratic county 
 standing committee, and was a candidate for Congress in 1880. 
 
 He held no other offices of importance, but built up a fine law practice by 
 untiring industry and thorough preparation of causes. His conduct of a celebrated 
 will case led the chief justice to declare that *'he argued the cause on behalf of the 
 plaintiffs in error with great ability, and with commendable industry and research." 
 
 The action of the Berks County Bar with reference to his death attests the 
 high value which his associates placed upon his work and character. ''In the death 
 of Frank R. Schell the bar of Berks County has lost one of its brightest ornaments* 
 His brilliancy of intellect, his vivacity of disposition, and his spirited powers of 
 conversation, his scholarly attainments, his good fellowship, and his indefatigable 
 energy in the performance of his professional duties combined to raise him to a prom- 
 inent position in the community and at the bar. Coming among us a stranger, his 
 success was based solely upon his inherent qualities and powers." 
 
 The portraiture of an intimate friend, who was associated with him in Read- 
 ing, will be recognized by his college classmates as essentially a picture of what 
 Frank Schell was at Yale. Here it is: "Among all my college acquaintances I 
 recall him as one of the frankest, gayest, and handsomest; whose bright smile and 
 winning ways were then and have always been a distinctive characteristic of the 
 man. His social qualities were of the highest order, and he always produced upon

 you the impression of being best pleased when he could contribute to your comfort 
 and pleasure in any way." The same friend declared that, **as a lawyer, Schell 
 was a decided success. He achieved that of which any man may be proud — a 
 high professional standing, a wide circle of friends, and a thorough identification with 
 the interests of the community." 
 
 He was married. May 20, 1875, to Miss Caroline, dat^hter of William O. 
 Hickok, a prominent manufacturer of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Schell died 
 in Harrisburg, July 8, J 905.

 was installed as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Springville, New York. 
 In J 907 he accepted a call to become pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Seneca 
 Falls, New York, and is still at work there. He was married, October J2, J904, to 
 Miss Emily Stebbins Mayo, of Springfield, Massachusetts. 
 
 Orville Hickok was graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale Uni- 
 versity, in J900. He afterwards took the full medical course at Johns Hopkins 
 University, graduating in 1904. He received his hospital training at the Mount Sinai

EDWARD G. SELDEN 
 J870 and J90I 
 
* EDWARD GRIFFIN SELDEN 
 
 ELDEN, Bom in Hadlymc, Connecticut, June 9, J 847, and died June 2, 
 1904. Son of GiloncI Joseph and Caroline (Lord) Selden. 
 
 He was fitted for coflege at the Norwich Free Academy, Connecticut, and 
 entered with the Class. He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta 
 Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. He took Third Pri^e in 
 Brothers Senior Prize Debate and graduated with a Dispute stand. 
 
 After graduation Selden passed a year in the study of theology at the Chicago 
 Theological Seminary and two years at Andover. On the J 6th of December, J 873, 
 he was ordained and installed as pastor of the Hanover Street (First Congregational) 
 Church of Manchester, New Hampshire. Here he remained until the spring of 
 1885, doing a work the results of which may be partially stated as netting a gain 
 of one hundred and sixty-seven members for the church, and securing the erection of 
 a new church edifice with twelve hundred sittings, at a cost of over sixty thousand 
 dollars. His departure from Manchester caused great regret. A leading paper of 
 the city thus referred to him: "While he has been here he has grown steadily in the 
 respect and good will of all classes. He has been something more than an able ser- 
 monizer and a faithful pastor. He has shown in all his intercourse with the people 
 of the city, of all denominations, that rare good sense and tact which enable a clergy- 
 man to do his whole duty without making enemies. He has always been modest, 
 unassuming, genial, and pleasing. He has been a growing man, and he leaves his 
 Manchester charge a very strong one. It seems a great pity that he could not be 
 induced to remain here.** 
 
 The church which called him from Manchester was the South Congregational, 
 one of the leading churches of Springfield, Massachusetts, over which the Rev. 
 Dr. Buckingham had been settled for many years. Here Selden was installed 
 May 27, 1885, and here he remained until the fall of J 893, fulfilling the duties of 
 an important pastorate with great satisfaction to the people of his charge, and exert- 
 ing a marked influence in the city of Springfield at large. "Since coming to this 
 city," said a leading paper, "Mr. Selden has made scores of friends, not only among 
 his own congregation, but in every circle where he is acquainted. He has been 
 one of the foremost in furthering the temperance cause, the Church Alliance, and 
 all other bodies organized for the good of the city. He is also a director of the French 
 Protestant College." 
 
 Early in October, J 893, Selden became pastor of the Madison Avenue Re- 
 formed Church of Albany, New York, one of the largest of the Reformed churches 
 
 223 
 
of that city, with a membership of more than five hundred and a fine church edifice 
 and parsonage. Although the ties which had bound him to his Springfield charge 
 were both strong and tender, yet he felt that the larger opportunity which the 
 Albany church offered him shotdd determine his choice in this direction. 
 
 Judged by what he was enabled to accomplish as pastor of that important 
 church, Selden's acceptance of its pastorate was wise. As Warren has said: "The 
 church and Selden fitted wonderfully. Both were modest because strong, generous, 
 and unselfishly loyal to duty. ... It was a happy pastorate of ten years, and his 
 name is a precious memory in scores of homes to whose social and religious life he 
 gave a large uplift." 
 
 In December, J 903, Selden experienced a severe attack of pleuro-pneumonia, 
 the results of which were so serious that several changes of scene and climate were 
 necessitated; but they failed to bring back the hoped for strength. He returned to 
 his own home in Saratoga, where he died, June 2, J904. "All through his illness, 
 thanks to his undaunted courage and the content which sung like a bird in his breast, 
 he talked constantly of college days and friends with a warmth of loyal affection 
 which was just like him." 
 
 In a tribute to his memory by the Rev. Dr. Battershall, of Yale, 1864, the fol- 
 lowing language is used: "In the ranks of Albany's clergy he was a commanding 
 figure, and a recognized representative of the higher thought and life of the city. His 
 work in Albany for the last eleven years, as teacher and pastor of the Madison 
 Avenue Reformed Church, can best be told by those to whom he brought, in the 
 sacred offices of his calling, the high purpose of his life and the distinctive traits of 
 his personality uplifted into the faith and ideal of Christ. All the tokens of the 
 man show the fidelity and sympathy and wisdom which make a pastor a spiritual 
 help and leader among his people. And he was this the more effectively by virtue 
 of the wide horizons of thought and purpose which made him a man among men, 
 a thinker among thinkers, one that bore his part in the questions of the hour and 
 the life of the community. Here he revealed the large background on which his 
 thought moved and from which his purpose drew its energy. . . . Thoughtful, 
 tender, true — this he was unfailingly. And those who were drawn to him the 
 most closely felt the most instinctively how deeply in his nature these qualities were 
 rooted. They were not so much traits of his character as forces of his soul, and 
 they endeared him to those who, circled within circle, can now but feebly express or 
 even realize the gain that has come to them in his life and the loss that they suffer 
 in his death." 
 
 No loss that the Qass has sustained in the death of its members has created a 
 more profound impression or elicited more glowing tributes to the worth of a class- 
 mate's character than the passing of Ned Selden. He won our respect, admiration, 
 and love by his combination of all the qualities which make up the genuine Christian

CHARLES EDWARD SHEPARD 
 
 ^HEPARD. Bom March J4, J848, at Dansville, Livingston County, 
 New York, first child of Charles and Katherine Rochester (Colman) 
 Shepard. His father was born at Dansville, March J5, J8I8. Before 
 marriage his mother's residence was Rochester, New York. She was 
 bom December 27, t825. 
 
 The founder of the Shepard family in this country was Ralph Shepard, who 
 was bom in England in J 603, and, after undergoing some unknown degree of perse- 
 cution, on account of his religious opinions, by the "Court of High Commission" 
 under Archbishop Laud, migrated, with his wife Thanks and daughter Sara, on 
 June 30, J 635, to Massachusetts, where he settled in Dedham. Joshua Shepard, our 
 classmate's grandfather, was a direct descendant in the sixth generation from Ralph, 
 and settled about J8J2 at Dansville, which was in the westem wilderness of that 
 day. 
 
 Shepard's mother was a daughter of Anson Colman and Catherine Kimball 
 Rochester, the latter being a daughter of Nathaniel Rochester. The earliest 
 of the Rochester family in this country settled in Virginia in 1689. Nathaniel 
 Rochester was one of the direct descendants and participated in the Revolutionary 
 War, both in civil and military official life, and after the Revolution settled in 
 Hagerstown, Maryland, and removed with his family, slaves and cattle by a **trek," 
 in the Boer fashion, to Dansville, and later to the Falls of the Genesee, where a 
 settlement was formed and called after him, which has become the modem city of 
 Rochester. Like some other slave owners in New York State, he emancipated his 
 slaves and supported the aged non-earners for life. 
 
 ^ ^ /* 
 
 Charles Edward Shepard was prepared for college at the Dansville Seminary 
 and Canandaigua Academy, and entered Yale with the Class, with which he grad- 
 uated with the degree of A.B. His standing at graduation was that of an Oration. 
 He had taken the following honors: First Composition Pri^e, second term. Soph- 
 omore year; Second Composition Prize, third term. Sophomore year; Junior 
 Rhetorical Prize; honorable mention for compositions written first two terms. 
 Senior year; and Townsend Premium for English Composition. He was an 
 editor of the ''College Courant." He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma 
 Epsilon, Phi Theta Psi, and Psi Upsilon. 
 
 He is not the only one of the family stock who has graduated at Yale. Besides 
 Faulkner and Reeve, of Seventy, cousins on his father's side, are the following 
 
 227 
 
cousins: C Sidney Shepard, 1878, Henry M. Hoyt, J 878, now dead, and Henry 
 M. Hoyt, J883j and Arthtjr M. Shepard, J909, a son of his brother. 
 
 After graduation he studied in law offices at Dansvifle and Rochester, 
 New York, and in November, J872, took up his residence in Fond du Lac, 
 Wisconsin, where he was admitted to the bar and where he practiced law with a 
 younger brother (T. R Shepard, ex-I874, Yale) until July, 1883. While in Fond 
 du Lac he was a Kbrary commissioner for three years, and was elected from J 88 1 
 to J 883 to the Assembly, the lower house of the State Legislature, as a Republican, 
 in a district that was ordinarily Democratic. 
 
 In July, J883, he moved to Milwaukee, where he practiced law until J89J, 
 when serious inroads in his health compelled him to abandon a lucrative practice 
 and take up his residence in a different climate. His choice fell upon Seattle, 
 Washington, where he went in the fall of J 90 1 and where he has since remained* 
 This choice was evidently a wise one, for he has regained his health and secured 
 an enviable standing in the city and state at large. For about eleven years he held 
 the responsible office in Seattle of library commissioner. Largely through his instru- 
 mentality, a gift of two hundred thousand dollars was secured from Mr, Carnegie 
 for a library building, in the erection of which Shepard exercised the principal over- 
 sight. Since June, 1905, he has been a uniform law commissioner of the state of 
 Washington, having then been appointed by the governor of the state a delegate 
 to the Uniform Law Congress at Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island ; and was there 
 elected vice-president of that body. Li February, J 906, he was appointed a delegate 
 from his state to the Divorce Congress at Washington, District of Columbia. In 
 the fall of 19 10 he ran for Supreme Court judge on the Non-Partisan Judiciary ticket, 
 and, though defeated, ran well against a partisan element which had gained control 
 of the courts of the state. For about thirteen years he was junior warden of 
 St. Mark's parish of Seattle, which is the largest Episcopal parish west of St. Louis 
 and St. Paul. He is also now, and has been for six or eight years, chancellor of 
 the diocese of Olympia. 
 
 His association with clubs and other affiliated bodies has embraced the Mil- 
 waukee Qub of Milwaukee ; the Rainier and University Clubs of Seattle, of the 
 latter of which he was a founder ; the American Bar Association ; the National 
 Qvic Federation, being a member of its National Council for Washington; and 
 a member of the Selden Society of London, England, 
 
 His noteworthy literary productions have been : "A Digest of Wisconsin Re- 
 ports," in two volumes, which was published by him in collaboration with Thomas 
 R. Shepard, ex- J 874, in 1884 j an address, in J 900, to the State Bar Association 
 on "Limitations of Municipal Indebtedness" ; an address before the State Univer- 
 sity of Washington (at Seattle) on "John Marshall," at the John Marshall Day 
 celebration, February 4, 1902 j lectures before the Law School of the State Uni- 
 
 228 
 
versity on ** Bailments** and ''Patents, Trade-marks and Copytighis/' and a booklet 
 which he privately published in J905, entitled, ''Golden Lives.** 
 
 Shepard speaks of his life as having flowed on very smoothly and evenly for 
 the most part, except when his health broke down in IZ91, His favorite recrea- 
 tions are "reading a book, when I can find one to read, and climbii^ a mountain, 
 when I can find one to climb.** People who have been on the Pacific coast (as 
 the Gass Secretary has not) say that both books and mountains a-plenty are to 
 be found in that country by those who look for them. He also says, "I would 
 like to have a walking competition with the Gass, on either time or distance and 
 by either level or hilly routes** — a challenge which few of the Gass would dare 
 to accept who looked upon his vigorous form and youthful face at the anniversary 
 in June, J9J0. 
 
 He was married, June 15, I88I, at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, to Miss Alice 
 Maria Galloway, daughter of Edward H. and Maria H. (Adams) Galloway, of 
 that dty. Mrs* Shepard*s father was a banker and a lumber-mill owner. He 
 died in 1876. Mrs. Shepard was a graduate of Northwestern University in 1870. 
 
 Shepard*s address is Seattle, Washington.

* BENJAMIN SILLIMAN 
 
 ^ILLIMAN. Bom, October 27, J849, at Louisville, Kentucky. Son of 
 Professor Benjamin and Susan Huldah (Forbes) Silliman* Died Feb- 
 ruary 4, J 90 J. He was descended from a line of Yale College grad- 
 uates, beginning with Judge Ebene^er Silliman, of the Gass of 1727, 
 whose son. Gold Selleck Silliman, was of the Class of I75Z The latter was 
 followed by his son Benjamin, of the Gass of 1796, who bcame a distinguished 
 chemist, and, as professor of Chemistry and Natural History, gave luster to the 
 College* The son of the latter, the Benjamin Silliman who instructed the Class 
 of Seventy, was the father of our classmate. 
 
 Benjamin Silliman received his preparation for college at the Hopkins Grammar 
 School, New Haven, Connecticut. He entered with the Class, and was a member 
 of Linonia, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, Psi Upsilon, and Scroll and Key* Besides 
 his d^:ree of B.A* he received that of MA. from his Alma Mater. 
 
 During the fall and winter of I870-t87I he attended the architectural depart- 
 ment of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Boston, until April, when 
 he sailed for Europe. After spending the summer in study and travel he settled 
 in Stuttgart, where during the winter of I87I-J872 he continued his architectural 
 studies. In the fall of 1872 he went to Berlin, continuing his studies there until 
 August, J 873, when he returned to this country and entered the office of Calvin 
 Vaux, architect, of NeW^orfc Gty. In 1876 he started in his profession independ- 
 ently, and soon began to make a name for himself by erecting buildings of 
 importance, among which were the Morse Building of New York Gty, Music 
 Hall, Orange, New Jeresy, and the Vassar Collie Laboratory, Poughkcepsie. 
 
 In 1877 he was a member of the firm of Silliman and Famsworth, he being 
 the leading partner. In J 883 that partnership was dissolved, and from that time until 
 his death he continued the practice of his calling by himsett. 
 
 He died, February 4, t90I, at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York after a 
 surgical operation. His last illness, due to an internal cancer, was attended by 
 intense suffering, which he bore with rare fortitude. His remains are buried in the 
 family lot in the Grove Street Cemetery, New Haven. 
 
 Owing to the fact that his home was in New Haven, Silliman was not so closely 
 associated with the Class as many others ; but none of us can forget the quiet, gentle- 
 manly fellow whose days were cut off, as it seemed to us, in so untimely a manner, 
 when he had begun to make a name for himself as an accomplished architect. 
 
 He was married, September JJ, J878, to Miss Frances, daughter of Alfred Wild, 
 of Rhinebeck, New York, who survives him.

RANDALL SPAULDING 
 
 ^PAULDING. Bom in Townsend, Massachusetts, February 3, t845. 
 Son of Daniel and Luqr Wyer (Qement) Spaulding. Both his father 
 and mother were bom and both Kved and died in the same town. The 
 father was bom February J4, J8I4, and died in 1901 ; the mother was 
 bom July 6, J8J5, and died July 27, J893. The Spaulding family is a very old 
 one, and originated, so far as its genealogy can be traced, in Spaulding, a town 
 that still exists and is a place of some importance, in Lincolnshire, England* Certain 
 members of this family emigrated to America in the early part of the seventeenth 
 century. A full account of the genealogy can be found in "The Spaulding Memo- 
 rial," published by the American Publishers' Association of Chicago. Representa- 
 tives of the family were engaged in the Revolutionary War. 
 
 ^ ^ Mf 
 
 Randall Spaulding received his preparation for college at Lawrence Academy, 
 Groton, Massachusetts, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of 
 Brothers and Gamma Nu and took the Third Prize, Brothers Sophomore Prize 
 Debate. He graduated with a High Oration stand. 
 
 Immediately after graduation he taught in Rockville, Connecticut, and then 
 spent a year in travel and study abroad, studying in Gottingen and Heidelberg. 
 Since 1874 he has been superintendent of the public schools and principal of the 
 high school in Montclair, New Jersey. That he has been one of the chief instru- 
 ments, if not the foremost one, in making the system what it is, is a well-recognized 
 fact. Living in a purely residential community, with a homogeneous population, 
 he has had a rare opportunity to carry out his progressive ideas. The largest 
 authority has been given him in the organization of all courses of study, in the 
 selection of books and materials, and in the selection of teachers. He has thus 
 been able to enlist a select body of teachers, who have cooperated with him to 
 the making of the system what it is. 
 
 While having within him somewhat of the spirit of the iconoclast, not being 
 troubled with any excessive regard for what is merely traditional and conventional, 
 he yet is known to guard himself in this direction so as not to adopt methods merely 
 because they are noveL 
 
 He has been in the way of looking upon every pupil and teacher as an indi- 
 vidual being, and so has not allowed himself to be bound by any formal and 
 complicated system of mles and examinations. His teachers are permitted the 
 largest liberty consistent with a proper coordination of the work. As a result of 
 
 232 
 
RANDALL SPAULDING 
 1870 and 1911 
 
such methods the remark has often been heard amongf parents and teachers that 
 the schools of Montclair seem more like private than public schools. 
 
 Besides giving himself to the immediate care of the educational interests in 
 Montclair, he has taken an active part in many organi2:ations formed for the dis- 
 cussion and solution of educational problems* He has been president of the New 
 Jersey State Teachers* Association, New Jersey Giuncil of Education, Essex 
 G>unty (New Jersey) Teachers' Association, Schoolmasters* Association of New 
 York, Schoolmasters* Qub of New York and Vicinity, and the Congregational 
 Club of New York. He has also been treasurer of the Head Masters' Association 
 of the United States. 
 
 His vacations have been spent in travel and study. In the summer of J 883 
 he was with his friend. Dr. H. H. Rusby, the botanist, in the western and central 
 parts of Arizona, searching for new species of plants and other curiosities, partly in 
 the employ of the Smithsonian Institution. He spent the summer of J 886 with two 
 or three friends in Journeying among the Rockies of Colorado. The summer of 
 1888 he spent in traveling with his family in Great Britain, extending the trip to 
 the Hebrides. In 1895 he crossed the Continental Divide six times, twice on horse- 
 back. Since that date he has made several trips in foreign countries and in both the 
 northern and southern mountains. 
 
 Photography has occupied no little of his attention, resulting in his helping to 
 organize the New York Society of Amateur Photographers and in his publishing 
 a book entitled, "First Lessons in Amateur Photography.*' He has also been pres- 
 ident of the Postal Photographic Club, that includes members from most of the Eastern 
 and Western states. 
 
 He was married (t)» J«Iy 29, t874, to Miss Florence A., daughter of Chester 
 Chapman, of Ellington, Connecticut. She died at Montclair, July 4, 1889. 
 
 He married (2), July t4, J 89 J, Sarah L., daughter of Samuel M. Norris, a 
 manufacturer of Springfield, Massachusetts.

EDWIN R. STEARNS 
 J870 and 1911 
 
EDWIN RUSSELL STEARNS 
 
 |TEARNS. Bom in Ondnnati, Ohio, January JO, 1847. Son of George 
 * Sullivan and Amelia (Stephenson) Steams. His father was bom at 
 Billerica, Massachusetts, May 17, 18 J6, studied at Andover, Massachu- 
 setts, and went West, when eighteen years of age, to engage in the milling 
 and lumber business. In 1840 he was in Cincinnati engaged in printing. He after- 
 wards formed the firm of Steams and Foster for the manufacture of cotton wadding 
 and batting. He died November 24, J889. Of him the "Commercial Gazette'* said : 
 "He was a rich man, but he has left something better than gold to those who moum 
 his death ; he loved honorable labor and died in the harness. Multitudes will moum 
 the death and revere the memory of George Sullivan Steams." 
 
 He was a descendant of Isaac Steams, who came to Salem in the "Arbella," in 
 J630, with Sir Richard Saltonstall and Governor Winthrop, and afterwards settled 
 in Watertown. 
 
 I* /♦ ,* 
 
 Edwin Russell Steams received his preparation for college at Woodward High 
 School, Cincinnati, and entered Yale with the Qass. He was a member of Brothers, 
 Gamma Nu, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. The third 
 term. Freshman year, he was awarded the Woolsey Scholarship ; the third term. 
 Sophomore year, he took the First Prize in EngHsh Composition ; he won a Junior 
 Rhetorical Prize and graduated with a High Oration stand. 
 
 In the summer of J 870 Steams went abroad with Tilney. He spent the 
 following winter at Hanover, Germany, in the study of the German language, and 
 afterwards traveled through Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Returning to his 
 native city after this absence, he engaged in the manufacture of cotton wadding and 
 batting with the firm of the Steams and Foster Company, of which he is treasurer. 
 
 Owing to the ill health of Mrs. Steams in J 887, which required a change of 
 climate, he took up his residence in Denver, where he remained for three years, 
 though still continuing his business in Qncinnati, and making repeated joumeys 
 between the two places. For the same cause Mr. and Mrs. Steams were obliged 
 to spend some time in the South. Such changes produced the desired result in the 
 restoration of Mrs. Stearns's health. 
 
 Business has by no means absorbed Steams to the exclusion of other impor- 
 tant interests. He has found time to bear a large share in the burdens of the less 
 favored. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Cincinnati Children's Home 
 on March 17, J9J0, Steams was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death 
 of the president of the Home. He had been a director of the institution since 
 1877 and for many years its secretary and treasurer. In the "Monthly Record" of 
 
 235 
 
February^ 1910, much joy was expressed that Steams had consented after much pres- 
 sure to accept the presidency. It declared that ''no man ever served an kistitution 
 more willingfly and faithfully than he has all these years." 
 
 Steams had been a trustee of Berea College, Kentucky, for ten or twelve years, 
 and has taken a deep interest in its welfare. He is chairman of the Investment 
 Committee of this institution. 
 
 In the spring: of 1911 Steams went abroad with the purpose of remainii^ three 
 months. 
 
 He was married, June 14, 1883, to Miss Luella, daughter of Caleb B. Evans.

CHARLES HALL STRONG 
 
 ^TRONG. Bom in New Orleans, Lotiisiana, December 29, J 850. Son 
 of Pascal Ncilson and Louisa (Hdll) Strong. On his father's side he 
 is descended from John Strong, who came to Dorchester, Massachusetts, 
 in J635, and was successively located at Taunton, in the same state, 
 where, in I64J, J643, and J644, he was made a deputy to the General Court j at 
 Windsor, Connecticut, where he took a prominent part in the organization of the 
 town; and then at Northampton, Massachusetts, where he was the ruling elder 
 of the church and otherwise a prominent citizen. His son Thomas was a trooper, 
 also an influential citizen of Northampton. 
 
 On his mother's side our classmate is descended from Sir Hugh Hall, governor 
 of the Bahamas, whose family moved to Boston, leaving many laterals, and then 
 went South, where, in Augusta, Georgia, our classmate's mother was bom. 
 
 There is also a streak of Dutch blood in him, which came through Rev. Pascal 
 Neilson Strong, pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church in New York City, who 
 married one of "the seven Miss Kanes," as they were called. 
 
 Charles Hall Strong was prepared for college in New Orleans under private 
 tutors. He entered Yale with the Qass, and was a member of Linonia, Gamma Nu, 
 Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. He took the First Prize 
 in English Composition, the second term Sophomore year, and the Second Prize in 
 the same, the third term. Sophomore year. He took the Junior Rhetorical Prize, was 
 an editor of the "Yale Literary Magazine," and graduated with a High Oration 
 stand. 
 
 The two years after graduation were passed in theological study at the Berkeley 
 Divinity School at Middletown, Connecticut, in preparation for the ministry of the 
 Protestant Episcopal Church, varied, however, by a trip through England during the 
 last six montiis of 1 87 J. He was ordained at Grace Church, Brooklyn, New York, 
 May 26, 1872, where, after a trip to Cuba for his health, he continued as assistant 
 rector until the fall of 1873, when he assumed the entire charge of the parish until 
 February, J 874, when he became rector of Christ Church in Stratford, Connecticut, 
 the oldest parish in the state. In 1878 he became rector of the large and influential 
 St. John's Church of Savannah, Georgia, where he has since remained, laboring 
 with marked success and achieving a reputation that has reached far beyond the 
 bounds of his parish. In commemoration of his settlement twenty-five years before, 
 his parishioners tendered him a most elaborate reception on March 6, 1903, and pre- 
 sented him with a handsome chest of silver. Competent authority has pronounced 
 
 237 
 
him to be "a vigorous and convincing pulpit orator, his every utterance bearing the 
 impress of earnest conviction and being fortified by recondite study and investigation**' 
 
 He has made valuable contributions to literature, among which may be named, 
 "Is Punishment Endless?" *'In Paradise, or the State of the Faithful Dead," "Creed 
 in Deed," a collection of letters in book form under the title of "Holydays in 
 Highlands and Lowlands," besides a volume of sermons, various brochures and 
 pamphlets on ecclesiastical, parochial, and secular topics, and contributions to 
 mag£izines.

NOAH H. SWAYNE 
 1870 and J9IJ 
 
NOAH HAYNES SWAYNE 
 
 I WAYNE. Bom in Gilumbus, Ohio, November 30, J 847. Son of Noah 
 and Sarah Ann (Wager) Swayne. His father (bom in Culpeper 
 County, Virginia, December 7, 1804; died in New York Qty, June 8, 
 1884) was a descendant of Francis Swayne, who came to this country 
 with William Penn, and the farm on which he settled near Philadelphia is still in 
 possession of his descendants. Francis Swayne's son Joshua removed to Virginia, 
 where his son, our classmate's father, received a good education. After a successful 
 career at the bar, Noah Haynes Swayne, Sr., was appointed, in 1862, a Justice of the 
 Supreme Court of the United States, and served until 188 J, when he resigned 
 on account of advanced age. The degree of LLD. was conferred on him by 
 Dartmouth and by Marietta in 1863 and by Yale in J 865. 
 
 On his mother's side Swayne is descended from Peter Wager, who was bom 
 near Worms, Germany, and came to this country early in the eighteenth century. 
 His son, John Wager, married Sarah Harper, whose brother, Robert Harper, pur- 
 chased from Lord Fairfax large quantities of land at the confluence of the Shen- 
 andoah and Potomac Rivers in Virginia. Swaync's grandfather, John Wager, Jr., 
 was bom in Philadelphia in 1772. He married Catherine Bate in I8J2. 
 
 Noah Haynes Swayne was prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, 
 Massachusetts, and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of Brothers, 
 Delta Kappa, and Phi Theta Psi. 
 
 After graduation Swayne studied law in the Law School of Georgetown 
 College, in the office of the attomey general in Washington, District of Columbia, 
 and later with Osborne and Swayne in Toledo. He was admitted to the bar in 
 Ohio, October 30, 1873, and soon after became a member of that firm. Li )877, 
 upon the £ssolving of the latter copartnership, a new firm was organized under 
 the name of Swayne and Swayne, Frank B. Swayne, Yale, 1872, entering into 
 business with our classmate. In December, 1879, Birchard A. Hayes, a son of 
 President Hayes, was admitted to the firm. The present firm name is Swayne, 
 Hayes and Fuller. 
 
 Althoi^h Swayne has been averse to accepting public office, he has been elected 
 to many positions of honor and responsibility, among which may be named mem- 
 bership in the Ohio L^slature in 1 882- J 883, chairmanship of the Lucas County 
 Republican Campaign Committees in the national elections of 1896 and J900, and 
 chairmanship of the State Campaign Committee of 1898. Besides these political 
 honors he has been a presidential elector in two campaigns, those of J 900 and 
 
 239 
 
J904, bdng associated in the latter with Oiarles P. Taft, Yale, J864, brother of 
 President Taft, as a presidential elector at Iarg;e of the state of Ohio* 
 
 Owing; to Swayne's lack of ambition to hold office he has been in a position 
 to act as arbitrator and pacificator in matters of contention between political and 
 other factions. His ability in this direction led to his appointment by Governor 
 Herrick in January, 1904, to membership on the Board of Arbitration, made 
 vacant by the death of ex-Governor Foster* His appointment was highly com- 
 mended by the press, the '^Toledo Blade** declaring thai it had met ''with tiniversal 
 approval.'* Another journal said : "This board is the most important in the state 
 in its relation to the material interests of the people, and Mr. Swayne is by nature 
 most admirably adapted to its great responsibilities. He is a broad-minded man, of 
 calm, judicial temper, well calculated in mind and heart to be an arbiter between 
 men who merely misunderstand each other and whose interests demand that they 
 should be in harmony. To be the successor on such a board of such men as 
 ex-Governor Foster, Judge S. N. Owen, Judge John Little — all men of national 
 reputation and of the highest capability — is a proud compliment to Mr. Swayne, 
 but one which his qualifications entirely merit. The people of Toledo who know 
 him best will applaud this selection as one wisely and thot^htfully made." He 
 was reappointed by Governor Harris and by Governor Harmon, thus serving 
 seven years as a member of this important board. 
 
 He served in J 894 on a committee appointed by the ju(^es to build the county 
 courthouse, has had a prominent part in making the water system of Toledo what 
 it ought to be, and has been deeply interested in the management of the Toledo Qty 
 Library, of which he is president; he is vice-president of the Second National Bank 
 and a director in many other public institutions, and a vestryman of Trinity Church. 
 
 While thus busied in many directions Swayne has found time to take needed 
 rekxation, which he has found partly in travels at home and abroad, his trips in 
 the latter direction having taken him all over Europe east of the Volga River. 
 He has also spent some time in Russia, going down the Volga for over a thousand 
 miles. He has been as far north as Spitzbergen, and has visited Japan, Mexico, 
 and Alaska. 
 
 Other forms of relaxation in which he has taken deep interest are baseball, 
 Swayne Field in Toledo being his property, and fishing, both being pet hobbies. 
 The latter sport finds play in connection with the Triton Fish and Game Qub, 
 whose grounds are north of Quebec. His distinction in this direction lies not so 
 much in the fact that he is president of the club as in the fact that while fishing 
 there he recently caught an eight-pound trout. 
 
 In the spring of 19 J I Mr. and Mrs. Swayne offered to give the entire property 
 occupied by the well-known Smead School in Toledo for the establishment of the 
 school on a permanent basis, provided the friends of the school would create an 
 endowment fund eqtial to the amount.

Swayne is a member of the University and Yak Qubs of New York Qty, 
 also of the foflowingf: Qiamber of G)mmerce, Business Men's Quh, Toledo 
 Qub, Triton Fish and Game Qub of Quebec, Castalia Trout Qub, and Osceola 
 Fishing Qub of Michigan. 
 
 He was married, March J6, J886, to Miss Frances, daughter of the late J. B. 
 Sickles, of St. Louis, Missouri*

RODERICK TERRY 
 
 jERRY. Bom in Brooklyn, New York, April J, 1849. Son of John T, 
 and Elizabeth Roe (Pect) Terry. His father, who was bom in J882 at 
 Hartford, Connecticut, where he was formerly a merchant, is still living. 
 The first emigrant of the Terry family was Samuel, who was in Spring- 
 field, Massachusetts, in 1642, and was one of the founders of Enfield, Gsnnecticut. 
 Terry's mother, who was bom in J 826, died in J 889. 
 
 ^ ^ <* 
 
 Roderick Terry was prepared for college under private tutors, and entered the 
 Qass Freshman year. He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta 
 Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. He was prominent in 
 athletics, being on tihie B^ Nine and rowing on the Freshman crew that defeated 
 Harvard in J867. 
 
 After graduation he spent two years at Andover Theological Seminary, two 
 years in travel and study in Europe, and one year at Union Theological Seminary, 
 New York Qty, from which he was graduated in June, 1875. Within a few months 
 he was settled as pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Peekskill, New 
 York. After four years of service with this church he was compelled by illness 
 in his family to ask for release. In 1880 he began his duties as pastor of the 
 South Reformed Church in New York Qty, over which he was installed on the 
 2 1 St of October, 1 88 J, and where he remained until J 905. While he was con- 
 nected with this organization, a sale of the old church property, at the comer of 
 Fifth Avenue and Twenty-first Street, was effected and a new location secured on 
 Park Avenue and Thirty-eighth Street. While pastor of this thrifty church Terry 
 was instrumental in developing a high order of service, particularly in the direction 
 of music. 
 
 He was for many years a trustee of Rutgers College, of New York University, 
 and of Bellevue Hospital Medical College. He has also been active in connection 
 with the Alumni Association of Union Theological Seminary. He was chaplain 
 of the Twelfth Regiment, New York Volunteers, during the Spanish War. 
 
 His literary publications have mainly been in the shape of sermons, though 
 he put a good deal of hard work into Seventy's Record of J 88 J. Princeton gave 
 him the degree of DJD. that year, whether on account of the sermons or of the Record 
 has not been made known to the Class Secretary. 
 
 He was married, September 22, J 875, to Miss Linda, daughter of Mr. Henry G. 
 Marquand, of New York.

EDWARD BEERS THOMAS 
 
 JHOMAS. Bom in Cortknd, New York, August 4, 1848. Son of 
 John H. and Mary (Stiles) Thomas. His grandfather, John Thomas 
 (bom at Woodbridge, Gjnnecticut, sixth in descent from John Thomas 
 who died at New Haven in 1671)^ was graduated at Yale, Qass of I8I4, 
 and married Caroline Beers, daughter of Elias Beers, postmaster at New Haven for 
 twenty-seven years, whose wife, Jerusha Fitch, was a great-great-granddaughter of 
 Governor Bradford. Our ckssmate's mother's ancestor was John Stiles, who came 
 from England with his wife in the ship ** Christian," and settled at Windsor, Connecti- 
 cut, about 1636. 
 
 ,* /« ^ 
 
 Edward Beers Thomas was prepared for college at the Cortland Academy 
 and entered Yale with the Qass. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma 
 Epsilon, and Delta Kappa Epsilon. He was a "Courant'' editor. He is also a 
 member of Wolf's Head* 
 
 After graduation Thomas studied law with Mr. Justice Shankland, at Cort- 
 land, and was admitted to the bar in December, 1870. In April, J87J, he moved 
 to Norwich, New York, where he practiced law, and where he was elected a 
 State Senator from the Twenty-fourth District. He served in this capacity from 1882 
 to 1885. In the latter year he was nominated for attorney general at the Repub- 
 lican State Convention. After the defeat of the ticket he moved to New York Qty, 
 where he practiced law until February, 1898, when, by appointment from Presi- 
 dent McKinley, he became ju^e of the District Court for the Eastern District of 
 New York. This position he held until January I, J 907, when he became a 
 justice of the Supreme Court of the state of New York. Since November, J909, 
 he has been serving in the Appellate Division, Second Department. 
 
 He has prepared two books, "Negligence" and ^'Estates Created by Will," both 
 of which have been highly commended. 
 
 It is but fair to state that the successive appointments to the high positions 
 attained by Thomas have been based on merit and have received the high approval 
 of those who have known of his career. 
 
 Thomas is a director of the Hamilton Qub and a trustee of the Long Island 
 Historical Society of Brooklyn, New York. 
 
 He was married. May 21, J873, to Miss Mary E. Babcock, daughter of

* THOMAS JOSEPH TILNEY 
 
 JILNEY. Bom in Paris, Canada West, February 28, J845. Died 
 December 19, J 894. Son of Joseph and Janet Tilney« His paternal 
 grandfather was bom in Manchester, England, and his maternal grand- 
 father, Thomas Fingland, was a native of Scotland. His father, also a 
 native of Scotland, came to Canada when eighteen years of age, where he married 
 Janet Fingland. 
 
 ^ <* ^ 
 
 Thomas Joseph Tilney's preparation for college was largely obtained in the 
 Cincinnati High School, although his Greek was mastered by himself in three 
 months. He entered the Class at the beginning of our course and was a member 
 of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and 
 Skull and Bones. His honors were as follows: Second Prize in English Com- 
 position, first term. Sophomore year; First Prize in English Composition, second 
 term. Sophomore yearj First Sophomore Declamation Prize J Junior Rhetorical 
 Prize; editor of the ''Yale Literary Magazine"; Townsend Premium for English 
 Composition, and the deForest Gold Medal, Senior year; Qass Historian; and 
 High Oration stand. 
 
 After graduation he was offered the chair of rhetoric at Cornell College, which 
 he declined. Following a six months' tour in Europe he pursued a course of study 
 in the Columbia Law School, where he took the highest prize for the best pre- 
 pared thesis and received his degree of LL.B, in 1872. In May, 1873, he was 
 admitted to the bar, and became a member of the firm of Fransioli, Tilney and 
 Mosher. For several years he practiced law with the success that might have 
 been expected from a man of his ability, attainments, and industry. But his 
 devotion to outside interests in connection with church and Sunday school work, 
 when added to his law business, was too much for even his natural strength. 
 His failing health demanding a change from sedentary pursuits, he entered mer- 
 cantile life, into which he put the same industry, perseverance, and enthusiasm 
 that had everywhere characterized him. At length, after something like five years 
 of physical suffering, he went abroad, in May, 1890, with Mrs. Tilney, and 
 remained three months. Some benefit resulted from the change, but very soon 
 alarming symptoms reappeared, and assumed a more aggravated form. Struggling 
 against physical ills, he sometimes seemed to be gaining the victory, but the grief 
 which came to him in September, 1 89 J, in the loss of his wife, almost overwhelmed 
 him. Yet he struggled on, took up the duties and burdens of life, and for a year 
 before his death was so much better in health that he accepted the superintendency 
 of the Central Congregational Sunday School. There, in the midst of his labors, in 
 
 246 
 
THOMAS J. TILNEY 
 J 870 and 1890 
 
the full tide of success, he was called to his home, his death occurring on Tuesday, 
 December 19, J 894, His funeral was held in Plymouth Church, he having been in 
 his earlier professional life clerk of that church, then one of its deacons and the super- 
 intendent of its Sunday school, as well as superintendent of the Bethel Mission, the 
 exacting duties of which offices had done so much towards shortening his daysr 
 
 In speaking of his death the "Brooklyn Eagle," said on its editorial page: 
 "The death of ex-Qvil Service Commissioner Thomas J. Tilney this morning at 
 his residence on Qermont Avenue will bring sorrow to very many. He was a 
 faithful and intelligent public servant, a citizen patriotic both by instinct and in 
 spirit, and a BrooMynite who exhibited principles of character, clearness of faith, 
 cheerfulness under affliction, and a fortitude in suffering that constitute a moral 
 legacy of inestimable fragrance and value. No layman in the great division of 
 Christianity to which he belonged, and which is called Congregationalism, was 
 more effective, self-effacing, sympathetic, and unweariable in his service for others. 
 His departure in the prime of life will shadow with grief not only his kindred, but 
 a large circle of friends in every department of helpful endeavor.'* 
 
 The "Brooklyn Daily Standard*' of the same date said: "He had a genius 
 for leadership, and was magnetic and fruitful in new methods for interesting the 
 children and bringing out the capabilities of the teachers. He was seen at his 
 best on a Sunday school platform, where his face became familiar to thousands 
 of Brooklyn people." 
 
 "Central Echoes," a paper devoted to the interests of the Sunday school over 
 which Tilney last presided, had this to say of him in the issue which followed 
 his death: "Mr. Tilney thought little of himself, much of others, most of how 
 he might best serve the Master. His power among us was that of uncommon 
 ability unselfishly devoted to telling others the glad gospel that had been his stay 
 in many trials." 
 
 It is to be doubted whether any man in the Qass was more respected than 
 Tom Tilney. His seriousness of purpose, diligence in his studies, growth in 
 intellectual ability and fine Christian character, were too marked to escape notice, 
 and yet were so modestly exhibited as to provoke no jealousy or criticism. He 
 was worthy of all the honors which came to him. 
 
 Tilney was married, June 3, J 873, to Miss Katherine, daughter of the 
 late Jonas P. and Harriet Hutchinson, of Brooklyn, New York. She died 
 September 4, 1 89 J.

 8RUMBULL. Bom in Chicago, Illinois, January 26, I85I. Died Decem- 
 ber JO, J902. Son of Lyman and Julia (Jayne) Trumbull He was 
 a descendant of Benjamin Trumbull, the historian, who was bom in 
 Hebron, Connecticut, in J 735, and graduated at Yale in J 759. He was 
 a chaplain in the War of the Revolution. Perry's father was Lyman Trumbull, 
 who was born in Colchester, Connecticut, in J 8 13, lived the greater part of his life 
 in Illinois, where he held various public offices, and was elected United States 
 Senator in J 854, an office which he filled with distinction for eighteen years. 
 
 f^ fff ff 
 
 Perry Trumbull was prepared for college at the old University of Chicago, 
 and entered Yale with the Class. He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma 
 Epsilon, and Alpha Delta Phi. 
 
 After graduation he spent the fall and winter in Washington, where he studied 
 law and served as clerk of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Early in the summer 
 of 1 87 1 he entered the law office of the Honorable B. C. Cook, at Ottawa, Illinois, 
 as a law student. The October following, Mr. Cook went to Chicago as general 
 counsel for the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company, and Perry went 
 with him to act as clerk. Continuing his study of the law, he was admitted to 
 the bar in January, 1873, The following March he was taken into partnership 
 with his father, who had just opened a law office in Chicago. This relationship 
 continued until J 882, when, wearying of the drudgery connected with his profes- 
 sion, he went upon the Chicago Board of Trade as commission merchant. After 
 t^o years of this business he returned to the practice of the law, and entered again 
 into partnership with his father, which continued until the latter's death in June, 
 J 896. After that he conducted the law business by himself. 
 
 About the year J 900 he discovered that he had a tubercular affection of the 
 lungs. Under the care of his physician he improved so much that in 1902 he thought 
 it probable that he had long to live. But he was deceived in his expectations, for 
 he died at Chicago, Decembsr 10, t902. 
 
 In the fall of J 889 he built a home for himself on the Lake Shore in Chicago, 
 about seven miles north of the mouth of the river, where he lived until his death. 
 
 Perry was the youngest man in the Class but one, but his look, manner and 
 general conduct were such as to point to greater maturity of years. Had he been 
 older his position in the Class would doubtless have been more prominent. As 
 it was, he was well liked, and his early demise is greatly regretted by his classmates. 
 
 He was married, April 16, J 879, to Miss Mary C. Peck, who died October 8, 
 
 J895.

* MORRIS FRANKLIN TYLER 
 
 JYLER. Bom in New Haven, Connecticut, August J2, J848. Son of 
 Morris and Mary FrisHe (Butler) Tyler« Died December 4, 1907. His 
 father, bom in New York City, April tJ, 1806, was a New Haven mer- 
 chant, who served as councilman, as alderman, and as mayor of New 
 Haven in J863-J864 and as lieutenant govemor of Connecticut in I87I-J872. He 
 died in New Haven, October 31, J 876. His mother was a daughter of Ezekiel 
 and Elizabeth (Frisbic) Butler, of Westport, New York, where she was bom 
 1 6th of June, J8JZ Her father was a Revolutionary soldier from Connecticut. 
 
 .* ^ ^ 
 
 Morris Franklin Tyler was prepared for college in the New Haven High 
 School and entered the Qass at the beginning of Freshman year. He was a 
 member of Brothers, Gamma Nu, Alpha Delta Phi, and Wolf's Head Societies. 
 In Brothers Freshman Prize Debate he won the second prize; divided the third 
 prize in the Sophomore Declamation Contest with S. B. Jackson; took the first 
 prize in the Brothers Junior Prize Debate, and in Junior year won the first Clark 
 Classical Prize. He was graduated with an Oration stand. 
 
 After graduating he entered the Yale Law School, from which he was grad- 
 uated in 1873, receiving the degrees of M,A. and LL.B. at the same time. During 
 the latter three years of study he had given part of his time to journalism, first in 
 connection with the Hartford ** Evening Post" and then as associate editor of the 
 New Haven "Palladium.** After graduating from the law school he immediately 
 entered the active practice of law in New Haven as a member of the firm of Tyler 
 and Hubbard, and afterwards as senior partner in the firm of Tyler, Ingersoll and 
 Moran. During the winter of 1 88 1- J 882 he was executive secretary of Governor 
 Bigelow. 
 
 Morris Tyler was one of the pioneers in the development of the telephone. 
 Of his work in this direction his classmate, George Miller, had this to say in "The 
 Telephone Exchange" of December, 1907: "In the days when the telephone, 
 crude in its construction, unknown as to its scope, was practically accepted as 
 a new toy — of doubtful value — he was one of the first to realize the wonderful pos- 
 sibilities which the invention unfolded, and with several indomitable spirits grasped 
 the opportunity to make the invention a commercial factor which has practically 
 revolutionized business methods during the last quarter of a century. Associated 
 with Herrick P. Frost, George W. Coy, and a few others, he was actively con- 
 cerned in the opening of the first telephone exchange in the world, his native 
 city of New Haven enjoying the distinction of first answering the question of how 
 
 25J 
 
the telephone could be made to justify its creation and the faith of its inventor. 
 The possibilities of its usefulness were for long a matter of doubt except in the 
 minds of Mr. Tyler and his associates, but to these men never came a moment of 
 indecision or a time of wavering. From the starting of the first exchange in Jan- 
 uary, t878, this group of believers fought to convince a skeptical public of the 
 value of the wonderful, though little understood, method of communication, and 
 in the face of discouragements which would have daunted ordinary men brought 
 the enterprise into active life and placed it among the important industries of 
 Gjnnecticut. 
 
 "From serving as legal adviser of the first exchange company, Mr.Tyler became 
 secretary and treasurer of the Gmnecticut Telephone Gjmpany, which succeeded 
 the District Telephone and Automatic Signal Company, and after the death of 
 President Marshall Jewell assumed, in J 883, the presidency of the Southern New 
 England Telephone Company, into which the Connecticut Telephone Company had 
 been merged. The industry at this time was yet in its infancy, and was under- 
 going the experimental stage. The duty of its executive was to develop it, pre- 
 serve its financial integrity, and rear from the modest beginning an enterprise 
 which should rank among the most important of public utilities. How well this 
 work was performed, and how successfully continued during the twenty-five years 
 of Mr. Tyler's administration of the company's affairs, the present development of 
 the field which was the scene of his labors bears witness." 
 
 Though the telephone business became his life work, yet it by no means excluded 
 a continuance of his legal studies and efforts. In 1893 he was appointed an instructor 
 in jurisprudence in the Yale Law School, and the next year to a full professorship 
 in the same subject in place of Professor Johnson T. Piatt, 1873 Hon., a position 
 that he was well able to fill, not only because of his wide experience, but, as well, 
 through his scholarly and continuous study. He filled this chair until the year 
 1899, when he was appointed treasurer of Yale University, a position which he 
 administered with marked ability until J 904, when he resigned. 
 
 His classmates were unprepared to hear of Morris Tyler's death, which occurred 
 on Wednesday morning, December 4, 1907, at his home, 33 College Street, New 
 Haven. Indeed, he would have been selected as among the last to be taken from 
 our fellowship, so vigorous had he appeared to us and so masterful had been 
 his efforts. But he had been in infirm health for more than a year, induced, 
 doubtless, by his manifold labors and by his grief over the loss of his only dat^h- 
 ter. He was buried, December 6, from the Church of the Redeemer, the services 
 being largely attended by representatives both from other telephone companies and 
 from the company which he had so well served, and by prominent Yale graduates. 
 
 Well has he been characterised by several who knew him as **the best type of 
 citizen and friend," as **a. man of tender and affectionate nature," as "a splendid 
 
 252 
 
man who had made his Kfe a distinct success/' and as "a diligent, active, practical, 
 'hard-headed' man of affairs, whom we rejoice to beKeve has left his mark upon 
 his native town and its life and industries, upon his University and its work and 
 policies, and upon his fellowmenj and we are assured that his influence, so far as 
 it extended, ever made for good*" 
 
 He was married, November 5, J 873, in New York City, to Miss Delia Talman, 
 daughter of Victor Gifford Audubon, the artist, and granddaughter of John James 
 Audubon, the famous naturalist*

 years he practiced law, but later became chiefly occupied with banking and manu- 
 facturing. After the death of his father, in J 883, he became cashier of the National 
 Bank and subsequently was elected its president* He continued in that position 
 until this bank was consolidated with the Mutual National Bank, forming the 
 present National Qty Bank, of which he was chosen first vice-president and later 
 president* He was active in the formation of the Security Trust Gimpany, of 
 which he was first vice-president, and was one of the founders and directors 
 of the Samaritan Hospital* He was also first vice-president of the Safety Deposit 
 Company, president of the Board of Trustees of the Second Street Presbyterian 
 Church, secretary of the Troy Club, and a member of the Holland Society of 
 New York* He was also a member and director in several manufacturit^ cor- 
 porations in Troy* In the spring of 1908 he retired from active business and 
 removed to Yonkers, where he died on Novembo* 2, 1909, at St* Joseph's Hospital, 
 following an operation for appendicitis. He was unmarried, and is survived by 
 two sisters and a brother* 
 
 The men of Seventy remember Van Schoonhoven as a quiet, gentlemanly 
 fellow, who won our respect and esteem for his genuine worth* 
 
 On the I4th of April, 1905, it was announced in Troy that Miss Alida L, 
 Van Schoonhoven, a sister of our classmate, '*had sent to the management of the 
 Samaritan Hospital a letter, stating that she desired to erect a building in connection 
 with the hospital as a memorial of her brother, William H* Van Schoonhoven, 
 who for many years was connected with the management of the hospital and 
 who took a deep interest in its welfare* * . * In her offer she not only desired to 
 erect a memorial to the memory of her brother, but she offered to convey to the 
 Samaritan Hospital a site, removed from the cramped quarters of the present hos- 
 pital to one where the surroundings will be more cheerful and more in keeping 
 with the requirements of a first-class hospital*"

ARTHUR HENRY WARREN 
 
 BARREN. Bom in Leicester, Massachusetts, Augfust 26, 1846* Son of 
 Charles Wheeler and Jane (White) Warren. Charks Wheeler Warren, 
 his father, was bom in Leicester in I8I8, to which place his ancestor 
 Ebenezer came in J 744. The Warren family are descendants of John 
 Warren, who migrated from England in J 630 with Governor Winthrop and settled 
 in Watertown, Massachusetts. Elijah Warren, son of Ebene^er, married Elizabeth 
 Wheeler, a lineal descendant of John and Priscilla Alden. 
 
 Our classmate is a descendant, on his mother's side, of Thomas White, who 
 was bom in 1636 and lived in Charlestown, Massachusetts. John White, a girand- 
 son of Thomas, moved to Spencer, a town adjoining Leicester, in 1751. 
 
 Arthur Henry Warren received his preparation for college at Phillips Academy, 
 Andover, Massachusetts, and entered the Class Sophomore year, coming to us 
 from 1869. He was a member of Linonia, Delta Kappa, and Delta Beta Xi, and 
 graduated with an Oration stand. 
 
 The first year after graduation he entered Yale Theological Seminary with 
 the intention of becoming a minister, but had to relinquish his plan on account of 
 his health. He made a second attempt in the same direction at Andover in 1872, 
 but ill health again made it necessary for him to change his course. He after- 
 wards engaged for a time in a manufacturing enterprise, which also had to be 
 abandoned by reason of a mental trouble which has since incapacitated him for 
 active work. The latest report is that his general health is good. 
 
 He was married, April 24, 1883, to Miss Mary McDemott. One child, Addie, 
 was bom to them, June tO, 1885.

HENRY PITT WARREN 
 
 JARREN, Bom in Windham, Maine, March 21, J846. Son of Rev. 
 William Warren, D.D., and Mary Hubbard (Lamson) Warren. His 
 father, a graduate of Bowdoin College, was bom at Waterford, Maine, 
 in t806, and was pastor of Gingregational churches in Maine and Mas- 
 sachusetts from J 839 to J 857, when he became field secretary of the American 
 Board for Northem New England, a position which he held until his death in 
 J 879. He was an author and editorial writer of much note. 
 
 The first American ancestor of this Warren family was Arthur Warren, who 
 was in Weymouth, Massachusetts, in 1635. His descendants for two generations 
 were residents of Chelmsford and Littleton, in the same state. The fifth in descent 
 from the original settler. Lieutenant William Warren, a native of Littleton, served 
 in the French and Indian War and settled in Pepperell, Massachusetts, about J 760. 
 He was clerk of the proprietors of the Plymouth Company in the settlement of Nor- 
 ridgewock, Maine, was the first settler of that town, and was drowned in the 
 Kennebec River in J 744. His son. Major Samuel Warren, a native of Pepperell, 
 was an early settler of Waterford, Maine, in 1786. His son was our classmate's 
 father. The Chelmsford Warren homestead has been owned since J 680 by a 
 Warren in direct line of descent. 
 
 Warren's mother, bom in Beverly, Massachusetts, in J 808, died in Gorham, 
 Maine, in t89I, was the daughter of Captain Zachary Lamson, who was bom 
 in Beverly in 1783 and died in Granada, Central America, in 1846. 
 
 The first American Lamson in this line was William Lamson, who was settled 
 in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1637. His descendants lived in the same town for 
 four generations. Beverly became the home of the two generations succeeding. 
 Warren's grandfather and his three brothers were sea captains, and his only son 
 was a supercargo. All died in foreign parts or were lost at sea. 
 
 The Lamsons and the families connected with them by marriage are still Essex 
 County families. The Warrens and their family connections, with the exception of 
 the descendants of Warren's grandfather, are still identified with Middlesex County. 
 Harvard has been the favorite college with his mother's family, our classmate being, 
 so far as he knows, the only one to be graduated from Yale. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Henry Pitt Warren was in the Gorham (Maine) Academy in J 857- J 864, and 
 at Phillips Academy, Andover, in J864-J865. He entered Amherst College in J865 
 and remained a year. He then entered Yale, Class of J 869, which he left in 
 April, 1868. For a year thereafter he taught in Merrimac, Massachusetts. He 
 entered Seventy in April, J 869, and graduated with the Class. He was a member 
 
 257 
 
of Brothers, Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, and Psi Upsilon, He is now a member 
 of Wolf's Head« Two academic honors have been conferred upon him, LJEi J)* by 
 Rutgers College in J 892, and the same degree by Williams College in J 908. 
 
 Ever since graduation Warren has been a teacher. The range of his experi- 
 ence in this line of effort may be noted as foflows: September, t870, to January, 
 J 872, principal of Fifth Street Grammar School, New Bedford, Massachusetts? 
 January, 1872, to July, J 875, principal of the Dover (New Hampshire) High School; 
 superintendent of the Dover schools from January, J 878, to February, J 879; prin- 
 cipal of the New Hampshire State Normal School from February, 1879, to Sep- 
 tember, t883; English master of the Lawrenceville (New Jersey) School from 
 September, 1883, to January, J 887; since which time he has been head master of 
 the famous Albany Academy, of Albany, New York. The break between 1875 
 and 1878 was occasioned by illness, which required a residence at different periods 
 in the South. 
 
 Warren's busy and successful life has been varied by two ventures into the field 
 of authorship: a "History of Waterford, Maine," published in J 879 by Hoyt, Fogg 
 and Dunham, of Portland, Maine; and "Stories from English History,'* published by 
 D. C, Heath and Company, Boston. He has also written numerous articles for news- 
 paper and educational publications on phases of education. He has held the peda- 
 gogical offices which are usually thrust upon a head master. 
 
 He says of himself: "October, 1911, will complete my twenty-sixth year of 
 service as head master of the Albany Academy, and my fortieth year of service as 
 a teacher. I do not know which has touched me more, the loyalty of my boys or 
 the kindly patience of their parents. The experience of most fathers with their boys 
 makes them forgiving when the schoolmaster blunders. I suppose it means that in 
 the economy of nature we are all in the school of life — children, fathers, boys, and 
 masters alike, and we learn to reward the blunderer if he tries. Here in this dear 
 old school, with its mellow, inspiring traditions and its loyalty to high standards of 
 scholarship and honor, I hope to complete my life work." Owing to ill health, 
 Warren was obliged to suspend teaching during the academy year of 1910-1911. 
 He was given leave of absence during that period, with continuation of salary. The 
 relief has given promise of restoration of health for further service. 
 
 Warren was married, August J 8, 1879, to Miss Aimie Laurie Lyman, daughter 
 of the Honorable John D. and Laura P. (Cass) Lyman, of Exeter, New Hampshire.

GREENLEAF CASH WATTLES 
 
 JATTLES. Bom in Lapeer, Michigan, October 2, J 847. Son of John 
 Morris and Phila Ann (Hart) Wattles. His father, who was bom at 
 Ulster, Pennsylvania, March 20, J8J9, lost both parents while under the 
 age of nine years, and was thenceforth thrown upon his own resources. 
 He educated himself and became a lawyer. He settled in Lapeer, Michigan, in 1845, 
 and died there September 20, 1893. He built up an extensive and lucrative practice 
 and attained high rank in his profession. In 1874 he founded the private banking 
 house of J. M. Wattles and Company, of Lapeer, Michigan, which has prospered 
 to the present time. His wife, Phila Ann Hart, was bom at Decatur, New York, 
 and died at Lapeer, Michigan, January 17, J 882. She was of early Gilonial ancestry, 
 and moved to Lapeer, Michigan, with her parents in 1837. 
 
 ^ ,* ,* 
 
 Greenleaf Cash Wattles was prepared for college at the Detroit High School, 
 Michigan, and came to Yale in September, J 868, from the University of Michigan. 
 He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and Alpha Delta Phi. In 
 J 873 he received the degree of A.M, After graduation he returned to Lapeer, Mich- 
 igan, and studied law in his father's office, was admitted to practice in the State and 
 Federal Courts in J 872, and became a member of the firm of J. M. and G. C. Wattles. 
 His health partially failing through overwork, in July, 1879, he sought relaxation in 
 Colorado, and remained there, except for occasional trips to New York, until Janu- 
 ary, 1883, when he went to England and Scotland. He was in London, England, 
 and Edinburgh and Glasgow, Scotland, for fourteen months. He returned to Colo- 
 rado in May, J 884, where he remained for two years in charge of extensive corporate 
 and mining interests at Lake Qty, Colorado, which belonged to himself and others. 
 In J 886 he went to New York Qty and became interested in some Ohio Railway 
 properties which later became part of the present Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton 
 system. He lived in New York until May, J 907, when he went to Detroit, Mich- 
 igan, temporarily, as he supposed at the time, but is still there. He has retired 
 from active business, being mainly occupied in closing up the banking business of 
 J. M, Wattles and Company, not desiring to continue it himself. 
 
 He says: "Those of the Class that I have most frequently seen since gradua- 
 tion are Allis, Beach, Dodge, Fiero, Gould, and Tilney. Have occasionally seen 
 others, however, and recently have been delighted to meet Cary and find him residii^ 
 in Detroit." 
 
 Wattles was married. May 22, 1872, to Miss Julia Ella Hascall, only daughter 
 of Charles and Julia Williams Hascall, of Flint, Michigan. They have one son, 
 Frederic Green Wattles, bom at Lapeer, Michigan, April 12, 1875, who is in the

WILLIAM HENRY WELCH 
 
 ^ELCH. Bom in Norfolk, Connecticut, April 3, J850. Son of Dr. William 
 Wicfcham and Emeline (Gillin) Welch. His father (bom December 10, 
 J8I8; died July 30, J 892) was a practicing physician in Norfolk for 
 over fifty years, a graduate of the Yale Medical School in the Class of 
 J 839, and a fellow of that institution. He represented the town in the Connecticut 
 General Assembly in 1848, J 850, J 869 and J88J j was a state senator for the Seven- 
 teenth District in J 85 1- J 852, and a representative in Congress from the Fourth 
 Congressional District from 1885 to 1887. 
 
 Hopestill Welch, our classmate's great-grandfather, was in Windham, Connecti- 
 cut, in 1 74 1, He came to Norfolk in J 772. He was a soldier in both the French 
 and Revolutionary Wars, and served under General Israel Putnam. His son, Benja- 
 min Welch, the third child of a family of thirteen, married the daughter of a physician, 
 and was himself a doctor, who so won the affection of his patients that he came to 
 be called "The Beloved Physician." He sent five sons into the world as physicians, 
 of whom the father of our classmate was one. 
 
 On his mother's side, William Henry Welch is descended from John Collin, an 
 accomplished scholar who was driven from France by the persecutions which at 
 that period were meted out to Protestants, and came to Milford, Connecticut, in J 706. 
 He received a nautical education, and was given command of "The Swan," which 
 he sailed for sixteen years, at the end of which time he was lost with his ship at sea* 
 The marriage of his descendant, Emeline Collin, to Dr. William Wickham Welch, 
 occurred November 7, J 844. She died October 29, 1850.

 William Henry Welch received his preparation for college under Rev. Ira Petti- 
 bone, of Winchester, Connecticut, and entered Yale at the beginning of Freshman 
 year. He was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, Delta Beta Xi, Delta 
 Kappa Epsilon, and Skull and Bones. He graduated with a Philosophical Oration 
 stand. 
 
 For a year after graduation Welch taught school in Norwich, New York. The 
 following autumn and winter he studied medicine at home. In J 872-1 873 he pursued 
 a course in chemistry at the Sheffield Scientific School. He then devoted two years 
 to the regular course in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia Univer- 
 sity, New York, from which he received, in J 875, the degree of MJD. After this 
 he was for one year interne in Bellevue Hospital, New York. Of his after career 
 an editorial in "The Journal of the American Medical Association" of April 9, J9J0, 
 will best speak: "After his graduation in medicine ... Dr. Welch tumed his atten- 
 
 262 
 
WILLIAM H. WELCH 
 t870 and I9I0 
 
tion to pathology, and for the next three years or so we find him at work in various 
 German laboratories. Under the direction of that brilliant experimental pathologist, 
 Cohnheim, whose death at a comparatively early age seems such a great loss to 
 science, he completed an important investigation on experimental pulmonary edema. 
 He was present in Breslau when Koch, then unknown, came from Posen to show 
 G>hnheim his work on anthrax and heard the latter's prophetic remark, 'There is 
 a great man of whom we shall hear much in the future T A few years later, he 
 took part in Koch's first course in bacteriology in Berlin. This must suffice 
 to indicate the nature and extent of his earlier training* 
 
 "He was professor of pathology in Bellevue Medical College in New York 
 when he was called to the newly founded Johns Hopkins University as professor of 
 pathology and pathologist to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, being the first member 
 of the faculty that was intrusted with the difficult task of establishing a complete 
 medical school on the highest plane yet attempted in this country. The success of 
 that attempt and its influence on our ideas of medical education in general are now 
 matters of history. That the Johns Hopkins Medical School has been one of the 
 leading medical schools of the world since its first inception, owing largely to the 
 wise counsels, lofty ideals, and ability of Dr. Welch, its first dean, is not questioned 
 by any one at all familiar with its development. 
 
 "We may now consider briefly Dr. Welch in the threefold capacity of teacher, 
 investigator, and adviser in affairs of medical and scientific nature. Dr. Welch is 
 a great teacher. Always fully abreast with many lines of work by virtue of a 
 faculty of easy acquisition, following closely the developments with keen and critical 
 appreciation, endowed with an apparently phenomenal memory, he possesses an 
 enviable power to impart knowledge with a facility that excludes all sense of its 
 costing any effort whatever. Lucidity and ease of expression, close reasoning, 
 the thoughts moving in orderly sequence, a judicial calmness and an all-pervading 
 sanity — these are striking characteristics of his writing and speaking. 
 
 "Primarily a pathological anatomist firmly rooted in cellular pathology, he has 
 produced original work of the highest quality in pathologic anatomy, in experimental 
 pathology, and in bacteriology, the details of which need not be given here. Many 
 of his articles and contributions to text-books and systems are classical in their com- 
 prehensiveness and clearness; for example, the introduction to general pathology in 
 Flint's work on practice, the article on thrombosis and embolism in Allbutt's system, 
 the Huxley lecture on immunity, the papers on venous thrombosis in cardiac disease 
 and on infections caused by the B. aerogenes capsulatus (discovered by Welch and 
 Nuttall in 1892, and sometimes known as B. welchii). 
 
 "Associated with profound scientific and scholarly attainments is the grace and 
 charm of a personality that inspires affection and intellectual effort. G)nsequently a 
 large amount of fine investigative work has been carried out by assistants and stu- 
 
 263 
 
dents working under the direction of the master. The pathologic laboratory of the 
 Johns Hopkins Hospital very soon became the accepted center — the pathologic mecca 
 — in the United States and Canada for investigation and training in pathology. 
 Now former workers and assistants in that laboratory occupy a large number — too 
 large to enumerate — of our most important pathologic posts, while many others 
 have reached eminence in other branches of medical science as well as in practical 
 medicine and surgery. Dr. Welch has had a larger part than any other person 
 in training those who are now leading and about to take the lead in our medical 
 teaching and investigation. 
 
 "Many-sided, of clear vision, and in close touch with every aspect of medical 
 science. Dr. Welch is rendering most important service in the capacity of adviser, 
 not only to individuals, but also to institutions and to local and national govern- 
 mental bodies. It is said that his advice led to the creation of the Yellow Fever 
 G}mmission of the United States Army, which, with the lamented Reed at its head, 
 accomplished the epochal discovery of the role of the mosquito in the spread of 
 yellow fever. The needed presence of a medical man on the Isthmian. Canal Com- 
 mission is due lai^ely to the same influence. Occasionally instances become known 
 illustrating that suggestions from Dr. Welch have borne rich fruit through the work 
 of others, notably the demonstration of the filterable character of the yellow fever 
 virus. An enumeration of the more important positions occupied by Dr. Welch at 
 the present time will emphasize better than anything else the value placed on his 
 advice and cooperation: He is president of the board of directors of the Rockefeller 
 Institute for Medical Research, the director of which. Dr. Flexner, his former assist- 
 ant, is doing such splendid work; member of the board of the Carnegie Institution 
 and chairman of the executive committee; president (since 1898) of the Maryland 
 Board of Health; member of the Charter Revision Committee of Baltimore; and, 
 last but not least, president-elect of the American Medical Association. And here 
 we take leave for the present of our representative in a uniquely wise significance, 
 while at the zenith of a career of unparalleled usefulness, universally respected, 
 honored as few are honored, beloved by all who know him." 
 
 An article by Dr. William Osier in the "American Magazine," of about the same 
 date as the above, concludes as follows: "One of the most widely read of men, it is 
 safe to say there is not today in the profession a man with so extensive a knowledge 
 of so many of its branches. He is extraordinarily well versed in the history of medi- 
 cine. And apart from technical knowledge. Dr. Welch has a fund of information 
 on all conceivable topics from bridge to baseball, from Horace to Herrick. The 
 medical profession of the United States has been singularly fortunate to have pro- 
 duced at a critical period in its evolution a man of this type, built on broad lines, 
 highly cultured, with strong common sense and those personal qualities that insure 
 the devotion of friends and the confidence of the public." 
 
 264 
 
The above references to the place which Welch has filled in the medical world 
 were called forth by his election to the presidency of the American Medical Associa- 
 tion and by the great dinner in his honor which was given in Baltimore on the even- 
 ing of April 2, I9J0, at which about four hundred and fifty distinguished guests 
 were present* At this remarkable gathering a gold medallion of himself was pre- 
 sented to Dr. Welch, and bronze replicas of the same were presented to each guest* 
 In addition, two bronze tablets have been cast, one for Johns Hopkins University 
 and the other for the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, with which the name and 
 work of Dr* Welch are inseparably associated*

"SOME WELCH RABBITS.— As one of the pleasing features 
 of the dinner to Dr« Welch, the above cartoon was distributed* The

•EDWARD SPENCER WHITE 
 
 jHITE. Bom at Granby, Massachusetts, March 12, J 848. Died Janu- 
 ary J2t J 895. Son of Aaron Spencer and Sophronia White. He was 
 descended from John White, who migrated from England in J 632, 
 settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was made a freeman 
 in J 633, then went to Hartford, afterwards moved to Hadley, Massachusetts, where 
 he remained for a few years, and then returned to Hartford, Connecticut, where he 
 was chosen elder of the South Church. 
 
 ^ <* ,* 
 
 Edward Spencer White was prepared for college at Wesleyan Academy, Wil- 
 braham, Massachusetts, and entered with the Class. He was a member of Linonia 
 and of Gamma Nu, and was graduated with an Oration stand. 
 
 After graduation he taught for a year in General Russell's school. New Haven, 
 studied law two years and was admitted to the bar in April, J 873. Soon after he 
 became a member of the well-known law firm of Chamberlain and White in Hart- 
 ford, with which he continued to practice with marked success until I89t, whenhe 
 moved to Springfield, Massachusetts, to devote his exclusive attention to the treas- 
 urership of the Overman Wheel Company, of Chicopee Falls, for which firm he had 
 been acting as attorney for a number of years. By excessive devotion to his work 
 and through the strain occasioned by his severe family bereavements, his health was 
 broken long before he finally yielded to its claims. But in spite of his unwilling- 
 ness to give up, he was at last compelled to seek relief by a change of climate. 
 He left his home the last day of December, J 894, and took a steamer for Norfolk, 
 Vii^ia. When he arrived, it was discovered that he was sick with typhoid fever. 
 He was taken to a hospital, where he died on the J2th of January, 1895. 
 
 White was not a man to push himself into prominence, but he was assistant 
 judge of the Police Court of Hartford from 1885 to J 889, and held a position of 
 responsibility in the South Congregational Church of that city. He was a man of 
 excellent judgment, whom everybody respected and who got very close to the hearts 
 of his friends. It was well said of him by a classmate that "the Class had no nobler 
 specimen of manhood and good citizenship.*' 
 
 He was married (J) August 13, 1874, to Miss Alice E. Smith, of Granby, 
 Massachusetts, who died February H, 1883. He married (2), October 28, J 885, 
 Miss S. Adelaide Moody, of Belchertown, Massachusetts, who died February J 3, 
 1890.

 NATHANIEL E. WORDIN 
 J870 and J90I 
 
NATHANIEL EUGENE WORDIN 
 
 jORDIN. Bom in Bridgeport, Connecticut, May 26, J 844. Son of 
 Nathaniel Sherwood and Fanny Augusta (Leavenworth) Wordin, 
 His father, who was bom in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and died in Bridge- 
 port, was married to Miss Leavenworth in May, J 839. His occupation 
 was that of a druggist. 
 
 Our classmate is the fifth in descent from William Wordin. Other ancestors 
 on his father's side are William Leete (one of the founders of Guilford, Connecticut, 
 who sailed from London in 1639 with Rev. Henry Whitfield), Richard Booth, Jehu 
 Burr (who came over with Winthrop in J 630), William Beardsley, Thomas Sher- 
 wood, Andrew Warde, Thomas Trowbridge, and Thomas Cooke. 
 
 On his mother's side, Wordin is sixth in descent from Thomas Leavenworth, 
 who emigrated with his wife, Grace, from London to New Haven about t664, and 
 settled in Woodbury, where he died in 1683, Another ancestor is Robert John- 
 son, who came from Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, England, to New Haven prior 
 to J 64 1, whose son William was one of the founders of Wallingford in t640. The 
 great-grandson of the latter was Rev. Dr. Samuel Johnson (Yale, 1 714), who took 
 holy orders in England in 1722 and became in 1754 the first president of King's 
 College, now Columbia University. By intermarriages of the descendants of 
 Dr. Abner Johnson and his wife, Lydia Bunnell, Wordin also counts among his 
 ancestors, on his mother's side, representatives of the Hotchkiss, Cloverly, Peek, 
 and Clark families, all of which names are found enrolled among the seventeenth 
 century names of prominent New England families. 
 
 ^ ,* ^ 
 
 Nathaniel Eugene Wordin obtained his preparation for college at the Golden Hill 
 Institute, Bridgeport, Connecticut, then under the care of Rev. G. B. Day, Yale, J 845. 
 He entered the Class Freshman year and was graduated with a Colloquy stand. 
 His society connections were with Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and Alpha 
 Delta Phi. 
 
 It is worthy of record that before coming to college he had been prepared to 
 mingle with men by his experiences in the Qvil War as a member of the Sixth 
 Connecticut Regiment. He was one of the first to enter Petersburg with the vie 
 torious army in J 865. 
 
 After graduation he entered upon the study of medicine. He spent one year 
 at the Yale Medical School and two years at the Jefferson Medical College, Phila- 
 delphia, from which he received his degree in J 873. In J 876 he formed a partner- 
 ship with Robert Lander, MJD., for the practice of medicine and surgery, which 
 continued for three years. In 1879 he began an independent practice in the city of 
 
 27J 
 
his birth, which has not been interrupted except for a brief season in J 889, when 
 he took a special course of study on the eye, with a view to accepting the position 
 of instructor in the medical college at Aintab, in Central Turkey, a plan which, for 
 wise reasons, had to be abandoned* 
 
 Besides carrying on an extensive practice in Bridgeport, he has held high posi- 
 tions in the medical profession, has written many valuable papers and done other 
 literary work in the line of his profession which has given him deserved prom- 
 inence in his state and beyond* He was secretary of the State Medical Society 
 from 1888 to J905, and as such annually compiled the volume of Annual Reports of 
 the Society* In 1902 he compiled the Centenary Volume, a book of more than a 
 thousand pages* Upon his retirement as secretary he was elected president, in 
 recognition of his long, faithful, and arduous service at the desk. In J 890 he was 
 appointed by Governor Bulkeley a member of the Connecticut State Board of 
 Health, upon which he served constantly until J 899* He has also been on the staff 
 of the Bridgeport Hospital, and for many years was the attending physician in 
 charge of the Bridgeport Protestant Orphan Asylum, which position he still holds. 
 
 In addition to the literary work above named, he has read, among others, papers 
 on the following subjects: "The Duty of Public Disinfection Following Acute Infec- 
 tious Diseases," before the Bridgeport Medical Association in J 89 J, published by vote 
 of the association; "A Plea for the Domestic Disposal of Garbage," read before the 
 American Public Health Association at Buffalo, New York, September 16, 1896, 
 and published in the journal of the association; "The President's Address," delivered 
 before the Connecticut Medical Society, t906, and published in the "Transactions" 
 of the society; an address before the Bridgeport Scientific Society on "Opsonins," 
 February 4, 1908; an address before the Bridgeport Board of Trade on "Tuber- 
 culosis," February 14, 1909; an address before the Bridgeport Board of Health, on 
 "The Adulteration of Food," which papers were published in the daily journals 
 of the city as containing valuable information for the public at large* 
 
 By no means, however, has Nathaniel Wordin confined his attention exclusively 
 to his medical work. He has held office in the First Congregational Church, and 
 been prominent in Christian Endeavor and Young Men's Christian Association 
 work. 
 
 He has also traveled extensively, taking a trip to Mexico in 1892, and making 
 a journey to the Pacific coast in 1898* 
 
 He was married, December 25, 1879, to Miss Eli^a Woodruff, daughter of 
 Julius Steele Barnes, M*D*, of Southington, Connecticut* 
 
 One child, Laura Barnes Wordin, was bom to them May 9, t882* 
 
 Wordin's residence: 2J3 Courtland Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut*

FRANKLIN ARNOLD 
 
 RNOLD. Bom in Brooklyn, New York, March 25, J850. The son

 He prepared for college in Brooklyn, and entered the Qass Freshman year. 
 Early in Sophomore year he left the Qass, but reentered Yale and was graduated 
 with 71. While with us he was a member of Brothers and Delta Kappa. 
 
 After a few months of traveling he went into the dry goods and commission 
 business, in which he was for a time with his brother, under the firm name of 
 Arnold and Banning. He afterwards was manager of a Chicago house in the same 
 business, and later was a custom house broker in New York. He again took up 
 the dry goods business, associating himself with a firm that had connections in 
 Central America. The business in that country demanding his care, he went 
 thither, where he contracted the malarial fever which is so prevalent in that coun- 
 try, and in consequence was obliged to return to the United States shortly after 
 1880, broken in health and unfitted for business. 
 
 He has been an invalid for many years, and is tenderly cared for at his home, 
 No. 15 Clark Street, Brooklyn.

 Class Freshman year* He left us during the same year. He was a member of 
 Linonia and Delta Kappa. 
 
 Soon after leaving college he was taken ill with a fever, from the effects of 
 which he seems never to have recovered. For several years he was in the lumber 
 business in Rochester, New York, since which time he has been a sufferer from a 
 mild form of insanity which kept him for several years in the State Hospital at Utica, 
 New York. A recent letter, in answer to an inquiry, states that he is residing in 
 the same city, in a private family, and that **he is in fair health.** 
 
 His diseased condition has not shut him out from all enjoyment of life. On 
 the contrary, he has found much pleasure in painting, clay modeling, and music.

 he lived for four years. In J 88 1 he moved to Bismarck, North Dakota, where he 
 wrote a letter in June, J 890, in which he spoke of ** trying to put his enemies in |aiL** 
 Whether he was thus acting in the capacity of a lawyer or of a sheriff is unknown 
 to the Secretary, who has tried in vain to get any late information about him. 
 
 Barnes announced that he had been married, and that the date of marriage was 
 September 1, 1869. He also stated in his letter that he had three children: Julia F., 
 bom At^ust J4, J870, and was married; Suzanne V., bom February J, J877; and

 poor health* He was a member of Linonia and Delta Kappa* 
 
 After leaving Yale, he went out under the auspices of the American Missionary 
 Association to work among the Negroes in Augusta, Georgia. Three years of such 
 service were followed by two years in business at Eufaula, Alabama, and by nine 
 years in the railway mail service, which impaired his health and compelled his resig- 
 nation. Returning to Connecticut from Montgomery, Alabama, April J, J88J, he 
 entered the employ of the Southern New England Telephone Company, which 
 he is known to have served most acceptably in a literary capacity, his duty being to 
 keep in touch with the state press. He continued in that position until May 7, 1904, 
 when he died. Too much credit cannot be given him for his persistence in the dis- 
 chai^e of duty in the face of poor health and the severe bereavements which fell to 
 his lot.

 and L'Hommedieu, engaged in study. After his return to the United States he 
 practiced law in Kentucky and in Cincinnati, Ohio. 
 
 The latest information about his career came several years ago, in a letter from 
 him, in which he said: "I served under Mr. Carlisle as special employee of the 
 Treasury in Chicago, San Francisco, Idaho, Montana, and Washington. My serv- 
 ices were discontinued in April, J 897, without cause and in violation of the Civil 
 Service Act. Since then I have tried to make a fortune in mining, and am still try- 
 ing. The desire of my life is to meet the boys at a reunion in New Haven." It 
 would have given ''the boys'* pleasure to meet Benton at our reunions, but his 
 desire has remained ungratified and his latest habitat has not been discovered. 
 
 Benton was married in San Francisco, California, December 2, J 895, to Mrs. 
 Doris Dulin Lowe, daughter of an officer of the Confederate Army, who practiced 
 medicine in California after the close of the Qvil War.

 He was prepared for college at Wilton Academy, Connecticut, and entered 
 with the Class, tihough he had previously been for a year in the Class of 1869. 
 He was a member of Linonia, Gamma Nu, and Phi Theta Psi. He left the 
 Class during the third term of Sophomore year. 
 
 He entered the Chicago Law School in 1868, from which he was graduated 
 in 1869. He practiced law at Binghamton, New York, until At^ust, I87J, at 
 the same time acting as associate editor of the "Binghamton Times." He then 
 removed to Winona, Minnesota, where he was for a time associated with the 
 late Senator Windom, formerly Secretary of the United States Treasury. In 1872 
 he was made the city attorney of Winona and chairman of the Republican County 
 Committee. In 1873 he published the statutes of the State of Minnesota in two 
 volumes, a work upon which he had been engaged for eighteen months. The 
 Legislature adopted this work the following year, after he had supervised its pub- 
 lication in Edinburgh, Scotland, whither he went in August, J 873. After three 
 months of travel abroad he returned to Winona, and in January, J 874, formed 
 a partnership with O. M. Williams. But the strain to which he had been sub- 
 jected in the publication of his book broke him down and compelled him to retire 
 from his profession and change his residence. He spent the winter of J 874- J 875 
 at his father's home in Norwalk. 
 
 In May, 1875, he received an appointment from Postmaster General Jewell 
 as clerk in the office of the Assistant Attorney General for the Post-office Depart- 
 ment, where he remained while in Washington. Though far from strong he 
 kept at work and filled a large place in the department, introducing reforms which 
 have added no little to the efficiency of the postal service. In 1876 he issued a 
 manual of historical facts of the United States from J 776 to J 876. In J 877 he 
 drafted a bill in furtherance of uniform post^e, which was finally passed by 
 Congress in 1879. He was also employed in editing a new volume of the Revised 
 Postal Laws, and, after finishing this, engaged in the fight against the lottery 
 companies. 
 
 In J 88 1 his health again gave way under the strain of his strenuous activities, 
 and he went to the Adirondacks in the hope that he might resume his work

again. But he came away from the mountains so feeble that he had to return 
 to his early home in Norwalk, where he died of consumption, January 4, J 882, 
 
 Mrs* Bissell's tribute to her husband should not be omitted : **He made friends 
 in the department, the dty, and the Congregational church, of which we were mem- 
 bers, and where as an active worker his services were much valued* As I look 
 back I can see how his religious nature grew with the years during our short but 
 very happy life together, and his good comradeship and constant desire to make 
 others happy invariably secured for him warm and enthusiastic friends wherever we 
 were. At the time of his death there were no more sincere mourners than among 
 the lowly and those who had served us. He had always a beautiful reverence 
 for woman, and was too thoroughly a gentleman to be overbearing in his treatment 
 of even the humblest who came in his way. 
 
 "Harry was very fond of writing, and frequently contributed to the press 
 articles relating to his profession, besides issuing a revision of the postal laws and 
 writing a brief centennial history of the United States, which was published about 
 the time of the Philadelphia fair. You see what a busy man he was." 
 
 Bissell was married, September 3, 1874, to Miss Fannie A. Shelton, of Jersey 
 Qty, New Jersey, who survives him.

 firm of Jackson and Burr, and so continued until January, J 890, when, by the 
 retirement of Mr. Jackson, he became the head of the firm. He achieved marked 
 success while prosecuting the regular business of the lawyer, which led to his 
 appointment to positions of great honor and responsibility. He was counsel for the 
 city of Brooklyn from January I, 1896, until Brooklyn was consolidated with New 
 York; was appointed justice of the Supreme Court of New York by Governor 
 Odell in December, J 904, to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Chief Judge 
 Cullen of the Court of Appeals; in 1905 was nominated by the Republican party

* JAMES BRONSON CAMP 
 
 AMP. The son of Calvin B. Camp, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, 
 March I, 1848. Died February 21, J870. 
 
 fi fi /f 
 
 He was prepared for college in Brooklyn and entered the Class Freshman year. 
 He was a member of Brothers, Delta Kappa, and Phi Theta Psi. 
 
 Detained at home, in Brooklyn, early in January of J 870 by what seemed at 
 first to be only a slight illness, he grew worse and finally passed away the twenty- 
 first day of February. 
 
 DeForest's notice of him in the Decennial Record may well be quoted again: 
 
 "He entered college almost without an acquaintance in the Class; but towards 
 the close of Freshman year had attained considerable prominence, as well from per- 
 sonal influence as from his great talent for acting. He continued to take active part 
 in college affairs (contributing largely to the success of the jubilee of J 868) till the 
 beginning of the second term of Sophomore year, when the political complications 
 occurred which the Qass will recollect. Camp never completely recovered from this, 
 and ever afterwards held aloof from the Class and class matters, only drawing 
 closer to those who had proved themselves to be his friends. It was not till Senior 
 year that he overcame this feeling and consented to take part in the jubilee, in which 
 his brilliant acting formed one of the chief attractions. 
 
 "Camp's intercourse with his friends was never more delightful than during 
 his last term at college. He was gentler and more sympathetic than ever before, and 
 more earnest in his endeavors to do. good to others. He was deeply interested in his 
 Sunday school scholars, and unwearying in his efforts to benefit them. Thus passed 
 the fall term, the last he spent with us. He was then detained by illness, at first 
 slight, but afterwards assuming a graver form. The week before he was confined 
 to his bed he had been absorbed with the thought that he might do something for 
 his friends in college, and with this view he had written several letters expressing his 
 interest in their welfare, and pointing them to Christian duty as the truest source 
 of happiness." 
 
 It is well remembered by his classmates that Camp's death made a very deep 
 impression on the Class, bringing with it a great sense of loss over the departure 
 of one whom we were learning more and more to appreciate on account of his 
 genuine worth.

JAMES B. CAMP 
 1870 
 
* RUSSELL ADAMS GATE 
 
 Bom in Castine, Maine, October J, 1847. Died August 24, 
 Son of Charles Adams and Jane Elizabeth (Adams) Gate. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 He was prepared for college at home under the instruction of Mr, Ellis Peter- 
 son, since a supervisor of the Boston public schools. He entered with the Class 
 and was a member of Linonia and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 During the summer vacation of 1868 he contracted a cold which resulted in a 
 brief illness, from which he died at his home on August 24. 
 
 Chadwick was his college chum, whose testimony concerning him will be recog- 
 nized by all who knew Cate as being in every way a just tribute to a most worthy 
 young man. Chadwick writes: "Cate was a bright-eyed, lithe, attractive fellow, 
 clean-cut, clear-headed, and of a fine character. He was a genuine student, and 
 fond of good literature. I remember especially of his reading the *Noctes Ambro- 
 sianee' of Christopher North, and how he bubbled over with the humor of the book. 
 While not a particularly strong man, he was a good oarsman and pulled stroke m the 
 Glyuna gig in some of the harbor races. During Sophomore year he became deeply 
 impressed in religious thought, and my impression is that he joined the college church 
 upon profession of faith. He was a thoroughly good fellow, and well-balanced 
 mentally, morally, and physically, and had he lived he would have made his mark 
 in the world and been an honor to his Class. He had selected his profession and 
 would have been a lawyer.**

FREDERICK SYDNEY CHASE 
 
 HASE, Bom at Lafayette, Indiana, December 3 J, J 849. Son of Hiram 
 W. and B. Sophia Chase. 
 
 He entered college with the Class, which he left in Junior year. He graduated 
 with the Class of J 87 J. While with us he was a member of Linonia and Gamma Nu. 
 
 After graduation he studied law and was in due time admitted to the bar. 
 He was associated first with another lawyer of the same name, under the firm name 
 of Chase and Chase, and afterwards formed a partnership under the name of Chase 
 and Wilstach. His business has largely been confined to looking after trust property 
 and interests of his own. 
 
 In a letter which he wrote to the Secretary of Seventy-one in the summer of 
 1906, he spoke of having been engaged in complicated litigations which had ter- 
 minated satisfactorily. He was detained from attending the thirty-fifth anniversary 
 of his class by the poor health of his son. No reply to late inquiries has come 
 from him. 
 
 He was married, March 20, J 877, to Miss Annis E, Fowler, who died Novem- 
 ber 12, 1884. One son was bom to them on June 4, J 878, whom they named 
 Moses Fowler.

JOSEPH WILBUR COFFIN 
 
 pFHR Bom July i% J849, at "Bloomingdale/' his father's country 
 place, at the foot of what is now Sixty-ninth Street in New York Qty. 
 When the Hudson River Railroad was built, cuttbg off their river front, 
 the family moved in J 85 J to Irvington, Westchester G)unty, where our 
 classmate's life was spent until he entered college. 
 
 His father was Edmund Coffin, bom at Saco, Maine, in J8I2j who, on going 
 to New York in the early '30s, became a successful merchant, and later a dealer in 
 real estate, making a specialty in Hudson River properties, particularly in and about 
 Irvington. Mr. Coffin died in J 884. 
 
 Our classmate's mother was Sarah Harrison Lambdin, bom at Lyons Farms, 
 New Jersey, in J 820, a gifted woman of rare mental and religious qualities, who 
 died at Irvington in J 867. She was connected with the Wilbur and Lambdin families 
 of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. 
 
 The founder of the Coffin family was Tristram Coffin, who emigrated in J 642 
 from Brixton, near Plymouth, England, to Salisbury, Massachusetts, and in 1660 
 settled on the island of Nantucket, the charter to which island was granted to him 
 by the Royalist governor of New York in J 658. His oldest son Tristram remained, 
 however, in Newbury, Massachusetts, and it is to him that the lineage is traced 
 through six generations* 
 
 Of our classmate's immediate family, his brothers, Edmund and James, gradu- 
 ated from Yale in J 866 and J 868, respectively, both being prominent men in their 
 classes and members of the University crews of their time. The former now lives 
 in New York Qty, while the family of the latter (deceased in J 906) resides in 
 California* 
 
 Joseph Wilbur Coffin was prepared for college at Claverack Institute, in Colum- 
 bia County, New York, and entered Yale with our Class in 1866, leaving during the 
 middle of our first term in Sophomore year to go on an engineer corps — having 
 chosen practical engineering as a profession. He was a member of Brothers, Delta 
 Kappa, and Delta Beta Xi Societies in Freshman and Sophomore years, and was 
 active in athletics while in college, playing on the Qass baseball team, and taking 
 part in our first victorious game with Harvard, at Worcester, in J 867. 
 
 His first business employment was on the engineer corps of the Poughkeepsie 
 and Eastem Railroad in J 868, and the following year found him building a section 
 of that road as contractor. 
 
 He next built a portion of the New York and Northern Railroad, now the 
 Putnam Division of the Hudson River and New York Central Railroad, follow- 
 
 295 
 
ing into a large contract in Wisconsin? and was engaged thereafter, for several 
 years, on public works in many states of the Union. From 1876 to 1880 he oper- 
 ated a large granite quarry in Rhode Island, leading to his largest contract work, 
 the building of the approaches and connecting railroads to the Poughkeepsie Bri^e 
 across the Hudson River, at Poughkeepsie, New York. 
 
 In later years he has drifted into mining, and has been engaged chiefly in oper- 
 ations in the Cobalt district of Northern Canada and in California, maintaining an 
 office in New York Qty, where he handles general investment securities. 
 
 Our classmate maintains his interest in athletics, continues an ardent baseball 
 fan, belongs to the Presbyterian denomination, and is a stanch RepubKcan. He 
 writes that "he is loyal to Yale, and has a very warm feeling towards anything 
 that has the combination of 70 in it." 
 
 Coffin was married, January 24, 1874, in San Francisco, California, to Miss 
 Lolita Frances, daughter of the late Dexter Tafft, of that city, and they lived for 
 three years after their marriage at Irvington, New York, then for four years in Prov- 
 idence, Rhode Island. In J 88 J they removed to New York Qty, and in 1890 estab- 
 lished their home on Staten Island, where the family resided until 1906, since which 
 time Mr. and Mrs. Coffin have traveled extensively.

 was with General George Rogers Qark in J 779, in his expedition against Vin- 
 cennes; in J 780 was commissary to the General Hospital at Carlisle; in J 78 J was

* WILLIAM EDWARD DAVIDSON 
 
 3AVE)SOR Bom in West Millbury, Massachusetts, August 1% J840. 
 ' Died February 2, J894. Son of William Gray and Judith Oiase (Hol- 
 man) Davidson. His father, bom in Auburn, Massachusetts, Janu- 
 ary 4, 18}2, was in early life a tanner, but in middle life bought the 
 ancestral home farm of his employer's family, where he prospered to a greater de- 
 gree than most of his neighbors, lived to the great age of eighty-six years, and was 
 highly respected throughout his life in the town of his greatest activities. In J 828 
 he removed to Millbury, 
 
 The founder of the Davidson family in this country has not been definitely 
 determined, but the earliest ancestor to settle in Sutton was John Davidson, who 
 bought a homestead there in 1720, coming from Salem, Massachusetts, where he 
 was married in J 719. The family continued to live on this homestead until 1792, 
 and three generations were bom there, Benjamin being the first, Benjamin, Jr., a 
 soldier of the Revolution, the second, followed by Simeon, the father of William 
 Gray Davidson, and grandfather of the subject of this sketch. 
 
 Davidson's mother, a daughter of Aaron and Polly (Stockwell) Holman, was 
 bom, November 7, 1811, on an adjoining estate in Sutton, Massachusetts, that part 
 called North Sutton, which constitutes the present town of Millbury. 
 
 The founder of the mother's family in this country was Solomon Holman, of 
 Newbury, Massachusetts, five of whose children settled in Sutton, and their descend- 
 ants have been among the most illustrious citizens of the town, the most famous 
 being the Revolutionary soldier. Colonel Jonathan Holman, an ancestor of President 
 William Howard Taft. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Davidson taught school in early life, and soon saw the need of a more extended 
 education. He entered Worcester Academy, where he studied a few sessions and 
 then went to Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, entering the Class of J 864; 
 but ill health caused him to drop out for a while. He afterwards joined the Class 
 of 1865, but at the beginning of the Senior year again left school and entered the 
 army, being a member of Company F, First Battalion Heavy Artillery, stationed at 
 Fort Warren, Boston Harbor. He was mustered out of service July I, 1865, and 
 reentered Phillips Academy, and was graduated the following year. He entered 
 Yale with our Class, which he left in Sophomore year, and was graduated with the 
 Qass of I87J. He was a member of Brothers and Delta Kappa. 
 
 The August following his graduation he was married to Fannie E. Backus, a 
 daughter of Judge Thomas Backus, of Danielson, Connecticut. He was appointed 
 principal of Woodstock Academy, Woodstock, Connecticut, and entered upon his 
 
 300

duties at the opening of the school year in the autumn of J87J. He continued in 
 that capacity for three years. He then entered Boston University Law School, from 
 which he was graduated two years later. He was admitted to the Suffolk County 
 Bar soon after, and continued to practice his profession in Boston until his death. 
 He died in Danielson, Connecticut, February 2, J 894. His widow passed the 
 remainder of her life at the family homestead in Danielson, where she died June 16, 
 
 A classmate who knew Davidson well writes: "The vicissitudes of life had 
 tended to sweeten rather than to embitter his nature; and with a steadily growing 
 sagacity had come increased breadth of view and most generous toleration. His 
 Idndness recognized no distinction of rank or station and was unalloyed with calcu- 
 lation. Of snobbery there was not a trace in his nature. A strong pride he had, 
 but it was the pride of self-respect. *To labor and to wait' seemed to be his guiding 
 principle in all things. His fidelity, his intense loyalty to friends, his extraordinary 
 forbearance — these were traits which will, perhaps, be oftenest remembered by those 
 who knew Wm best.** 
 
 Others have spoken of him as an ** honored and high-minded gentleman," as 
 "beloved by all who knew him,'* and as "having a pleasing personality and win- 
 ning manner" — testimonies which fall in with the impression which he made upon 
 the men of Seventy, who can never forget his conscientious efforts to make the most 
 of himself and to exert a strong religious influence upon his classmates.

 He was prepared for college at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, from which 
 he went to the University of Wisconsin. After spending two years there he 
 entered Yale at the beginning of Sophomore year, but did not return for the last 
 two years on account of a severe illness which he suffered during the summer of 
 1868. He spent a year abroad, in Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land; returned to 
 America in J 869, and again attended the University of Wisconsin, He went abroad 
 again in 1870, and after his return studied law at the Cincinnati Law School, from 
 which he was graduated. He practiced his profession for a while, but during the 
 latter pjirt of his life tximed his attention more exclusively to real estate, and was 
 a member of the Cincinnati Real Estate Exchange. He was heavily interested in 
 land, and gave his attention to enlarging the holdings which he had inherited from 
 his father and grandfather. 
 
 He was also interested in electricity, and especially in the telephone, being 
 a director in the Bell Telephone Company. He took out some valuable patents, 
 among which were several in connection with the telephone. 
 
 In 1884 he purchased the homestead at East Walnut Hills. He was especially 
 fond of travel, and ustjally spent the summer abroad with his family. He was of 
 a modest and retiring disposition, and passed aU his leisure hours in the midst 
 of his family. He died November 5, t892.

*MARCENA HUTCHEZ DILDINE 
 
 ILDINE. Bom in Hammondsport, New York, March 3, J 844. Died 
 in the same place, after much suffering from rheumatism, March 28, 
 J 908. He was the son of Uriah Emerson and Susan (Loder) Dildine. 
 
 He entered the Class at the beg;inning: of Freshman year, but did not remain 
 through the entire year. He was a member of Linonia and Delta Kappa Epsilon. 
 
 After leaving college he taught school for a number of years, in which pro- 
 fession he was very successful, having the rare power of making his pupils under- 
 stand the point under consideration, and of winning their respect and love. It was a 
 saying of his that "he could raise a regiment of boys any day." But being especially 
 fond of the farmer's life, he bought a farm, on which he spent his last years. For 
 over thirty-five years he was an elder in the Presbyterian Church, exemplifying in 
 his life the teachings of his religion. 
 
 He was married, January 23, t872, to Miss Jennette Drew, daughter of John 
 and Matilda Drew. Her grandfather was a minute man in the Revolutionary War 
 and served in the same regiment with his father, who was a native of France. She 
 is a graduate of the Oswego (New York) Normal School, and survives her husband. 
 
 Dildine is well remembered by the fellows who roomed on the comer of George 
 and High Streets as a worthy young man who was sure to do his full duty in all 
 the relationships of a college career.

LIVINGSTON FEWSMITH 
 
 JEWSMTH. Bom in Auburn, New York, March 26, J849. Son of 
 
 Rev. Dr. Joseph and Emma Charlotte (Livingston) Fewsmith, His 
 
 father was valedictorian of Yale, }840, professor of Homiletics in Auburn 
 
 Theological Seminary, and as Rev. Joseph Fewsmith, DJD., was pastor 
 
 for thirty-seven years of the Second Presbyterian Church, Newark, New Jersey, 
 
 where he died June 22, 1888, 
 
 The first of the family in America was Richard Smith, 3d, M.D., of Branham, 
 
 England, a member of the King's Council, bom in 1674, who came over to the 
 
 province of New Jersey in J 690. His great-grandson was our classmate's father, 
 
 Fewsmith's mother was a daughter of Francis Armstrong Livingston, a direct 
 
 descendant of Robert Livingston, Jr., of Scotland, who emigrated to Albany, New 
 
 York, in 1636. 
 
 ,«? /? ^ 
 
 Livingston Fewsmith was graduated from the Newark Academy in J 865, took 
 the Senior year in Phillips Academy, Andover, where he was graduated in J 866, 
 and entered Yale with the Class. His eyesight failing, he was obliged to leave the 
 Class in the latter part of Freshman year. He returned and went on with the Class 
 at the beginning of Sophomore year, but after about three months was obliged, to the 
 great regret of the Qass, to give up the idea of completing the course. 
 
 While with us he was a member of Brothers and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 After leaving us he went into business in New York and afterwards in Newark, 
 In 1880 he went to Paris, France, where he remained until J 884. On his return he 
 went into the insurance business, first in Newark, then in Chicago, and finally in 
 Qeveland, Ohio. In J 889 he went into the bicycle business, and continued in the 
 same tmtil 1899. From 1899 until J903 he had no regular business, but had an office, 
 and divided his time between selling stocks and doing some insurance business. 
 
 Since J877 he has been an elder in the Presbyterian Church, and since 1903 has 
 been pastor's assistant at the First Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, Ohio, of which 
 Sam Raymond is an elder. 
 
 Fewsmith was married, January 12, at Newark, New Jersey, to Anna Lee, 
 daughter of Alexander Grant, of that city, who came from Scotland in J 845, and 
 of Susan Wilhelmina Lee, a descendant of Abraham Lee, who was bom in New 
 Jersey in 1753, whose father emigrated from Scotland in 1745.

* SAMUEL ARTHUR GALPIN 
 
 f ALPIN. Bom at East Windsor Hill, Connecticut, January 5, J846. Died 
 August 5, 1902. Son of Samuel Henry and Marianne (Perrin) Galpin. 
 Philip and Caleb Galpin, brothers, were residents of New Haven, Con- 
 necticut, as early as J 650. They were sons of John Galpin, of Bristol, 
 Somerset County, England. From Philip Galpin, six Samuels intervening, came 
 our classmate, Samuel Arthur Galpin. His father, Samuel Henry Galpin, was 
 graduated from Yale in 1835, and his cousin. Professor Bemadotte Perrin, in the 
 
 Class of J 869. 
 
 ^ ,* /* 
 
 Samuel Arthur Galpin prepared for college at the High School in Hartford, 
 Connecticut, and entered with the Class. He remained with us but one year, 
 during which he had to contend with a trouble in the eyes, which did not prevent 
 his taking a high standing in scholarship, but did compel him to leave the Class 
 at the end of Freshman year. He was a member of Linonia and Gamma Nu. 
 By special request of the Class, Yale University conferred upon him the degree of 
 A.M. in 1880. 
 
 He spent the first year after leaving college in Washington, District of Colum- 
 bia, under treatment for his impaired eyesight, and then engaged in business for a 
 term of two years. In April, J 870, he was appointed on the Census Bureau on the 
 strength of an examination which showed his marked ability and'great thoroughness 
 of scholarship. He afterwards was promoted to the superintendency of the Census 
 Department. In 1 871 he was transferred to the office of Indian Affairs. In April, 
 1873, he returned to New Haven, where he was engaged for more than a year with 
 Professor Walker in the preparation of a statistical atlas. From October, 1874, to 
 January, t876, he was studying and practicing law in Hartford. The two follow- 
 ing years he was chief clerk of the Indian Office in Washington. From January, 
 1878, to January, J 880, he practiced law in Hartford, For the next ten years he 
 was in the iron and steel business with E. S. Wheeler and Company, New Haven, 
 of which firm he became the receiver after the failure of the company. Upon his 
 discharge from the receivership, about 1 89 1, he entered the New Haven Qock Com- 
 pany, and was shortly after elected its president and treasurer, offices which he 
 held at the time of his death. When he entered the company it was in financial 
 straits, which involved labors of the most important and exacting nature? but he 
 brought it out into a condition of soundness and great efficiency, the fullness of 
 which, however, he did not live to witness. He was a director of the First National 
 Bank and a trustee of the New Haven Trust Company, and was for a number of 
 years a member of the committee on admissions to the Graduates' Qub. He was 
 also a member of the Colby Qub.

SAMUEL A. GALPIN 
 J870 and J90J 
 
In addition to the strain and worry of business cares, the last ten years of his 
 life were deeply saddened by the successive deaths of his two daughters, his wife, 
 and his aged father. 
 
 Early in July, 1902, Galpin sailed with his son, Henry Lamed, for England, 
 on a combined business and pleasure trip. When he landed he was apparently in 
 excellent health, but shortly after his arrival in London he was attacked by a fever, 
 which was soon recognized by his attending physicians as typhoid. He was re- 
 moved from the hotel to a private hospital, but all efforts to save his life were of no 
 avail. He died on the morning of August 5, after an illness of about ten days. His 
 remains were brought home and interred with those of his dear ones in Cedar Hill 
 Cemetery, Hartford. 
 
 Galpin was one of the ablest and best balanced men in the Class. Had his 
 eyes permitted he would doubtless have stood very near the head in scholarship, as 
 he certainly would have maintained among us a high position as a Christian young 
 man. Pure in life and speech, and conscientious in his efforts to make the most of 
 himself, he left an impression on the Class that was deepened as we came in contact 
 with him in subsequent years, and marked his poise and his loyalty to his old class- 
 mates. His opinions on matters of business are said to have commanded a wide 
 respect, and his society to have been greatly enjoyed by a large number of friends. 
 
 He was married. May J 9, J 880, to Miss Clara Robinson, daughter of Amos 
 Lamed, of Hartford. She died January t2, 1898.

 He was fitted for college at Lawrence Academy, Groton. He was with the Class 
 but a few weeks, being a member of Linonia and Gamma Nu. He was graduated 
 at Amherst College with the Class of 1870, after which he studied law at Fitchburg 
 in the office of Wood and Ferry, and then opened an office of his own. He has 
 remained in Fitchburg, pursuing his profession and refusing to enter the field of 
 politics, though he was mayor of the city during the years J 89 J and J 892. He has 
 taken an active interest in school matters, having been for several years on the school 
 board. 
 
 He was married, December 5, J 878, to Miss Mary E. Lane, who died in Fitch- 
 burg December 19, J902.

 /?<#,««> 
 
 He was fitted for college at the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and entered Yale 
 with the Class. He was a member, while with us, of Delta Kappa and Brothers in 
 Unity. He left the Qass towards the latter part of Freshman year and went to 
 Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Massachusetts, from which he was graduated 
 in J 868. He then returned to Yale and was graduated with the Class of 1872. After 
 leaving college he was for a time engaged with his father in conducting Grierson's 
 Underwriters' Weekly Circular in New York. Later he entered the actuary depart- 
 ment of the Mutual Dfe Insurance Company, and was admitted to the bar in May, 
 J 880. He was secretary of the Young Men's Republican Qub, Brooklyn, in J 882, 
 a member of the Committee of One Hundred in Cleveland's first campaign, and a 
 member of the Reform Club and of the Brooklyn Club. 
 
 He died in Brooklyn, September 29, J 902, leaving a wife, Ida August Grier- 
 son, and one son, Samuel, who was bom in Brooklyn, June 12, t894. 
 
 Grierson was one of the youngest men in the Class, and was not with us long 
 enot^h to mark a strong impression; but he is well remembered by the Class Secre- 
 tary as a gentlemanly fellow who would doubtless have won his way to our hearts 
 had he continued with us throt^h the entire course.

CHARLES HENRY HAMLIN 
 
 AMLIN. Bom in Farmington, now Plainvifle, Connecticut, January J I, 
 J850. Son of He^ekiah and Catherine (Cowles) Hamlin. 
 
 ,« r* ,* 
 
 He was prepared for college at the Hartford (Connecticut) High School, and 
 entered the Qass Freshman year* While with us he was a member of Brothers 
 and Gamma Nu. 
 
 He left the Qass at the end of Freshman year on account of trouble with his 
 eyes, but returned to Yale and graduated with the Class of 1 87 J. 
 
 After graduation he taught for a year in Unionville, Connecticut, studied in the 
 Yale Theological Seminary from 1872 to J 874, then went to Germany, where he 
 studied at the Universities of Leipsic and Bonn. He returned in the fall of 1875, 
 and from J 876 to 1879 was pastor of the Second Congregational Church in Chester, 
 Massachusetts. He then went, in J 879, to the South Congregational Church of 
 Pittsfield, where he remained until J 885, when he accepted a call to the Payson 
 Congregational Church of Easthampton, Massachusetts, where he has since 
 remained. 
 
 The twenty-fifth anniversary of his pastorate was celebrated, January 6, 7, and 
 9, 19 10, with many interesting features — banquet, reception, sermon, addresses by 
 representatives of the town and distinguished guests from other places. Ez-Gov- 
 emor Curtis Guild made one of the most notable addresses, in which he said: *'This 
 life, this life of a country parson, has bloomed and borne fruitage, quietly and 
 sweetly as the fragrance of almond blossoms spreads its influence far beyond the 
 boundaries of the inclosure set about the tree. Slowly, surely, from around this 
 altar of Christian faith there has spread a rational, a reasonable coordination of efforts 
 for real temperance as distinguished from mad and ineffective fanaticism, a genuine 
 and deeply patriotic observance by all the people of the anniversary of American 
 independence as distinguished from the savage survivals of pagan festivals, and 
 finally the abolition of the pool room and race-track gambling, first from Mas- 
 sachusetts, then from New York, then — but why set a boundary? Twenty years 
 ago Mr. Hamlin started in this town his crusade against the evils of pool selling and 
 the pool room, that vice that above all others made the clerk an embezzler, the office 
 boy a thief. First fighting successfully against a proposed law permitting the prac- 
 tice of pool selling, his final contest was to enforce existing law that forbade it. 
 The clergymen who called at the executive chamber, Mr. Hamlin among them, in 
 the spring of 1906, deserve the credit for the permanent enforcement of this law in 
 Massachusetts, and it is not perhaps too much to say that the example of Massa- 
 
 310 
 
CHARLES H. HAMLIN 
 J 870 and 1909 
 
chusetts has in this, and not for the first time, been the inspiration of New York." 
 Professor Alexander Merriam, a former pastor, spoke of Hamlin "as a brother of 
 everybody? as tender as he is stalwart — the tear in his eye and the grip of his hand, 
 both yours; a citizen leader as sane as he is passionate; independent in His thought 
 and firm in his conviction; bom to command and made to order. Here is a man 
 who leads the commonwealth itself in certain types of social soldiership and yet 
 makes Easthampton see the *thing next' in village responsibility. . . . There is no 
 ring-stamp on him. He knows the difference between preaching something into a 
 man and preaching a man into something." 
 
 Hamlin was married, January J 7, J 877, to Miss Fanny, daughter of Dr. W. W. 
 Rodman, Yale, 1838, of New Haven, Connecticut.

 He died at New Haven, March 20, J 867, of typhoid fever. 
 
 Though with us but a few months, he made an impression upon us which has 
 not been lost during all these intervening years. Serious, earnest in purpose, strong 
 intellectually, and above reproach in conduct, he gave promise of becoming a most 
 useful man. His death made a deep impression upon us, being the very first that 
 had occurred in the Class,

THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN HINDS 
 
 JINDS. Bom in Pharsalia, New York, November 24, J 847. Son of 
 Joseph N. and Charlotte (Losee) Hinds. He belongs to the ninth gener- 
 ation of the Hinds family, his first ancestor in this country having been 
 James Hinds, who came from England and landed in Salem, Massachu- 
 setts, as early as 1637, when he was admitted as a freeman. 
 
 Mf ^ ^ 
 
 Theodore Frelinghuysen Hinds was prepared for college at the Poughkeepsie 
 Military Institute, and was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and Phi 
 Theta Xi. He was with us only a year, but his part in helping win the notable 
 victory which our Freshman crew achieved at Worcester in J 867 has given him a 
 place in the memory and affections of Seventy that will always be held by him till 
 the last man of us has ceased to be catalogued at Yale. Of that race Hinds has 
 written the Secretary as follows: "The one thing that I have done in my whole life 
 that I am most proud of is, that I helped defeat Harvard in J 867. I remember 
 vividly everything connected with that race: that Wash McClintock had sixteen 
 boils, that I had eight, and that Jack Curran had only one the week of the race; 
 how, when we were getting into our boat for the final struggle, Denny Leary said, 
 'Boys, I have bet my last dollar on you, and if you lose the race I have got to walk 
 from here to New York.* A day or two before, when we were eating our dinner, 
 
 he said, *Boys, I have been out watching the Harvard crew row, and if I can 
 
 see how you can help beating them.* When the race was over and we were get- 
 ting out of the boat, he said, *If it had been a five-mile race you would have beaten 
 them out of sight.* Perhaps so, for we were fresh as daisies and could have rowed 
 the race right over without turning a hair.** 
 
 The departure of this hero of our college days for Hamilton College, where he 
 was graduated in 1870, was greatly regretted, not only because he had helped to 
 bring honor to the Class, but also because he was a good fellow. 
 
 After graduating at Hamilton, he studied law at Norwich, New York, in the 
 office of Isaac Newton, Yale, 1848, He was admitted to the bar in 1872; then located 
 in St. Louis, where he remained until the summer of 1874, when he established 
 himself in Beloit, Wisconsin. He next moved, in J 876, from Beloit to Chicago, and 
 in 1 88 1 entered into the hop business with his father at Utica, New York, which 
 kept him there for seven years. From 1888 to J893 he was in the wholesale shoe 
 business, but at the last named date resumed the hop business. He afterwards 
 went back to the practice of law in Richfield Springs, New York, where he con- 
 tinued to practice up to I9J0, when he accepted a responsible position in a knitting 
 
 3J3 
 
mill in the same place, the Utica Knitting; Company's Mill, Number Seven* He 
 has chargfe of the office and is the cashier. 
 
 Hinds is one of the board of trustees and vice-president of the Richfield 
 Springfs Public Library, and is acting; as its treasurer. He is also president of 
 the Men's Qub of St. John's Parish. 
 
 He was married at Utica, New Yor£, Aug;ust 29, 1872, to Miss Marian, 
 daug;hter of William and Lovisa (Titus) McAdam. One son, Theodore F., Jr., 
 was bom to them at Richfield Springs, June J7, J883. He died November 28, J902.

 He was fitted for college in Philadelphia, and entered with the Class in J 866. 
 He was a member of Linonia and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 He left the Qass during Freshman year, and in J 867 entered the Freshman 
 class of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in J87t 
 and from which he also received the degree of A.M. in 1874. 
 
 After graduation he read law with John G. Johnson in his native city, and 
 engaged for a time in the pracVce of the profession. He was a great reader and 
 spent much of his time in the Philadelphia Library. 
 
 He was drowned in March, J 898, at Atlantic Qty, New Jersey. 
 
 He was not with us long enough to make himself acquainted with the Class, 
 but a distinct impression was made upon his classmates who came nearest to him, 
 that he was a gentleman and would have stood well among his fellows had he 
 remained with us.

SCHUYLER BRINCKERHOFF JACKSON 
 
 fACKSOR Bom June 16, J849, at Newark, New Jersey. Son of 
 John P, and Elizabeth (Wolcott) Jackson. His father was bom at 
 Aquackanock, Passaic Gjunty, New Jersey, June 8, J 805, and died 
 December JO, t86J. He was the second son of Peter Jackson and 
 Hester Brinckerhoff. He was prominent in the affairs of the State of New Jersey. 
 When a young man he was clerk of the County of Essex, and subsequently a 
 member of the State Legislature and speaker of the same ; also a member of many 
 state boards. He was the principal originator and founder of the system of rail- 
 roads in New Jersey called the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company. 
 He was graduated from Princeton College in 1823 with the highest honors of his class, 
 and was admitted to the practice of law as attorney at law and solicitor in chan- 
 cery; subsequently, under New Jersey requirements, as counselor at law. 
 
 The original founder of the Jackson family in the United States was James 
 Jackson, who came to New York first about J 746, directly from County Armagh, 
 Ireland — the family originally were from Lancastershire, England. After settling 
 in New York the family became active in the business world. They were among 
 those interested in the organization of the First Presbyterian Church of New York 
 Qty. Afterwards they moved to Goshen, Orange County, New York, where 
 they organized the Village Government and established the Presbyterian Church 
 of Goshen, under the Rev. John Bradner. The great-grandfather of John P. 
 Jackson subsequently resided at New Windsor on the Hudson, and carried on the 
 shipping and transportation business. His son James followed in the same line of 
 business, and subsequently James's son, Peter (the father of John P. Jackson), 
 carried on the same business and moved to Aquackanock, New Jersey, where 
 he resided for many years and carried on a large business at Jacksctti's Comers, 
 and was postmaster for many years. 
 
 Our classmate's mother, Elizabeth Wolcott Jackson, bom May 6, 1806, was 
 the fourth child of Judge Frederick Wolcott, of Litchfield, Connecticut. He was 
 the son of Governor Oliver Wolcott, one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- 
 pendence. The first ancestor on the mother's side was Henry Wolcott, who was 
 bom in 1578 and died in 1655. Henry Wolcott came to this country from Tol- 
 land, England, in the year J 630, and settled in Massachusetts, finally removing to 
 Windsor, Connecticut. Through his descendants the line of Wolcotts came down 
 from Simon, whose youngest child was Governor Roger Wolcott, of Connecticut 
 —"the Hero of Louisburg"— statesman, scholar, and poet. The thirteenth child of 
 Govemor Roger Wolcott was Govemor Oliver Wolcott, who was bom in J 726 
 and died in 1797 (the signer of the Declaration of Independence above referred 
 to). He married Laura Collins, of Guilford, Connecticut. Judge Frederick Wolcott

SCHUYLER B. JACKSON 
 1870 and J895 
 
was the fifth child of Governor Oliver Wolcott, who married Betsy Huntington, the 
 grandniece of Samuel Huntington, another signer of the Declaration of Independ- 
 ence. Frederick Wolcott and his family resided at Litchfield, Connecticut, where 
 John P» Jackson attended and was graduated from the law school founded there by 
 Judge Tapping Reeve and Judge James Gould. This was the first law school in the 
 United States. It was at Litchfield that John P. Jackson first met Miss Wolcott, 
 who afterwards became his wife, and who died October J 5, 1875. 
 
 Schuyler Brinckerhoff Jackson was the youngest of a family of five brothers and

* FREDERICK AUGUSTUS KEEP 
 
 EEP, Born, September 7, J 848, at Beloit, Wisconsin. Died January J 4, 
 1892, Son of John M, and Cornelia (Reynolds) Keep. 
 
 ^ ,* ,« 
 
 He entered the Qass in February, 1868, coming to us from the Junior class of 
 Beloit College, for which he had been prepared in the Beloit Preparatory SchooL 
 He was a member of Linonia. 
 
 He left us late in 1869, studied law for a year and a half in the office of S. J. 
 Todd at Beloit, and removed in the summer of J87t to Beloit, Iowa, where he 
 devoted himself to farming. To this occupation he was much attached, thot^h 
 he varied it with the practice of his profession. For four years he held the office of 
 clerk of the District Court. He continued in the practice of law at Rock Rapids, 
 Iowa, until 1884, when, owing to his inability to endure the confinement of his office, 
 he located on his fourteen hundred acre farm in the Sioux Valley, South Dakota, 
 where he remained four years. In 1888 he moved to Canton, where his children 
 could have greater advantages. He there resumed the practice of law, in addition 
 to superintending some smaller farms which he owned in the vicinity of Canton and 
 Huron, to which latter place he removed in April, 1890, and soon after received the 
 appointment of general attorney of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Com- 
 pany for the state of South Dakota, which position he ably filled up to the time of 
 his death. He had not been in good health for several years, and when, in 1890, 
 he was attacked by the grip, he had to give up his chosen work. He went in 
 November of that year to Southern California, hoping that a change of climate and 
 rest would renew his health and strength. But his hopes were not realized. He 
 died of consumption at Pasadena, January J 4, 1892. 
 
 He was an enthusiastic Mason, being master of one lodge for seven years. 
 He was a strong adherent of the Republican party, to whose interests he devoted no 
 little time and strength as a campaign speaker and a participant in its councils. 
 
 His friend, J. V. Conklin, a lawyer of Canton, said of him: "Fred A. Keep was 
 an honest, earnest Christian gentleman, true to his fellowmen and true to his God, 
 a kind and faithful husband and father." 
 
 The men of Seventy thot^ht well of him, and regretted that he could not see 
 his way to remaining with them to the end of their course. 
 
 He was married. May 6, 1873, to Miss Ruby L. Carpenter, of Beloit, Wisconsin.

* WILLIAM ANDREWS KEEP 
 
 EEP. Bom May J3, J847, in Warren, Connecticut. Died August 30, 
 J 867. Son of Rev. John R. and Rebecca A. (Porter) Keep. His mother, 
 who was a sister of President Noah Porter, was a descendant of Robert 
 and Thomas Porter, who settled in Farmington, Connecticut, in J 640. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 He was prepared for college at the Hopkins Grammar School, Hartford, Con- 
 necticut, united with the Hartford High School. He entered with the Class, and 
 was a member of Linonia and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. 
 
 He was with the Class but a year, meeting death by drowning in the Farming- 
 ton River, August 30, 1867, at Farmington, whither he had gone to attend a family 
 festival at the old homestead of the Porter family. 
 
 The news of his death came as a shock to his classmates, for he had come to 
 be known as a young man of singular beauty of character, of high aims and great 
 ability. Had his life been spared, he would doubtless have attained a very high rank 
 in scholarship and maintained the reputation which his uncle, our Professor Porter, 
 and his brother. Tutor Robert P. Keep, Yale, 1865, had gained in the same direction.

 of 1873 in the second term of Junior year, he completed his course at Yale. 
 
 His career since graduation is traced in the History of the Class of t873, by

 School, he taught private pupils for a year and a half in Litchfield, Connecticut, and 
 New York Gty, devoting some of his spare time to the study of law. He passed 
 the year 1 875- 1 876 at the Harvard Law School and then entered the law office of 
 his father in St. Louis, being admitted to the bar there in January, 1877. The next 
 two years were passed partly in travel in Kansas and Colorado and partly in the 
 practice of his profession in St. Louis. In the autumn of 1878 he removed to New 
 York and entered the law office there of his cousin, Henry E. Knox. In June, 
 1880, he went to Minneapolis and followed his profession there for three years, at 
 the end of which period he seems to have retired from active business, for he has 
 smce spent his time in travel and study.^

ALGERNON S. LOGAN 
 J 870 and 1909 
 
ALGERNON SYDNEY LOGAN 
 
 OGAN. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, May J 7, J 849. Son of 
 John Dickinson Logan, a descendant of James Logan, secretary to Wil- 
 liam Penn and first chief justice of Pennsylvania, and also a descendant 
 of John Dickinson, author of the Revolutionary "Farmer's Letters." 
 
 He entered college with the Qass, and was a member of Linonia and Gamma 
 Nu. Leaving college Sophomore year with a certificate of good standing, he imme- 
 diately devoted himself to the study of literature. In 1876 he went abroad and spent 
 two years in Italy, occupying a famous old house in Florence and later one in Via 
 Reggio, the town made famous by Shelley's shipwreck in the offing. In 1878 he 
 returned to America, and settled for a time at Summerville in an old family man- 
 sion that had been bought by his maternal great-grandfather at the close of the 
 Revolutionary War. In J 885 he returned to Europe, and after a season of travel 
 settled in Paris, in order to study the violin under the best masters. Since his 
 return to America he has divided his year into three nearly equal parts, giving one- 
 third to living in his city home in Philadelphia, one-third to his cottage at Spring 
 Lake, and the remaining part to his farms in Delaware. He has never been engaged 
 in any business or trade, having inherited a competence from his ancestors, who 
 were owners of real estate in what are now thickly settled parts of Philadelphia. 
 
 But he has not led an idle life, as the record of his literary labors will show. 
 His books are as follows: t875, "The Mirror of the Mind," a poem in two 
 cantos ; 1878, ** The Image of the Air," a poem j 1883, ** Saul," a dramatic 
 poem J J888, "Jesus in Modem Life," a philosophical work? J890, "Messalina," 
 a tragedy? and "Not on the Chart," a novel, published in J 899. 
 
 An idea of Logan's style and general mental attitude may be seen in one of 
 his latest efforts, entitled 
 
 ACQUIESCENCE 
 
 Oh, what the Power with life inwove 
 
 Which makes us but to mar? 
 Which plants and tends and gamers love 
 
 To scatter it afar. 
 
 Which makes the tendrils of the heart 
 
 To man and beast and tree 
 CKng as if never more to part, 
 
 Only to tear them free. 
 325 
 
Which casts the joy-befl of the mindL 
 
 But tunes it to a knell. 
 And makes forever ever find 
 
 Its echo in farewell* 
 
 "Forever there/' a poet sings — 
 But where ? Through depths profound. 
 
 From cliff to cliff the echo rings, 
 A cold, abysmal sound. 
 
 Whoever has the close-tuned ear 
 
 To catch the undertone. 
 In every song a dirge can hear. 
 
 In every laugh a groan. 
 
 *Tis man who has his world outgrown. 
 
 His hopes, thoughts, wishes fly 
 Beyond his atmospheric zone. 
 
 To tumble from the sky; 
 
 To fall to Earth, who gathers all. 
 
 And, on her endless way. 
 Smiles gently o'er the throes that gall 
 
 Her animated clay. 
 
 Logan was married, November 4, 1873, to Miss Mary Wynne, dat^hter of 
 William Wynne Wister, a banker of Germantown, Pennsylvania. One son has 
 been bom to them, Robert Sestalrig, who was graduated from Harvard with hi^h 
 honors in 1897. He has been married to Miss Sarah WetherelL

WASHINGTON McCLINTOCK 
 J 870 and 19 10 
 
* WASHINGTON McCLINTOCK 
 
 [cCLINTOCK. Bom in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, March 4, J 845. Died 
 November 19, J9J0. Son of Washington and Eliza (Thompson) Mc- 
 Clintock. His father was of Scotch-Irish descent, the son of Alexander 
 and Elizabeth (Rutledge) McCIintock, of Virginia, and was bom in Pitts- 
 burg, October 23, I8I4. He died in 1870, Alexander McCIintock, bom May J3, 
 J776, was the son of William and Phoebe (McDowell) McCIintock, the latter of 
 West Nottingham Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, from which place 
 Alexander McCIintock moved with his family, about 1813, to Pittsburg. 
 
 Washington McCIintock's mother was also of Scotch-Irish descent. She was 
 the daughter of Samuel Thompson and Mary Park, the latter a lineal descendant 
 of Arthur Park, of Parkesburg, Chester County, Pennsylvania, who was a native of 
 Bally-lagby, Donegal County, Ireland, and emigrated to America prior to J 724; his 
 name appearing that year as the first ruling elder of the Upper Octorara Presby- 
 terian Church of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Samuel Thompson moved to 
 Pittsburg from Chester County about the year 1807. 
 
 "Wash'* was one of five brothers to enter Yale; Oliver, I86I; Walter, J862; 
 Thompson and Washington, J 870; and Frank, J 875. Six nephews have also 
 been Yale men; Garrison A., 1890; Norman, I89I; Walter, I89J; Harvey, 1903; 
 
 Bowdoin and Frank, J 907. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Washington McCIintock received his preparation for college at Phillips Acad- 
 emy, Andover, and was in the Class of 1869 for one year. He came into our Class 
 during Freshman year, and was a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and 
 Delta Beta Xi. HI health compelled him to leave college during Sophomore year, 
 but he was long enough with us to win our admiration and love. His high moral 
 character and direct Christian influence, together with his popular qualities and 
 athletic ability, stamped him as a man whom we could ill afford to lose. The fact 
 of his rowing stroke oar on our Freshman crew that won the race on Lake Quin- 
 sigamond in the summer of J 867 brought him into prominence before the whole 
 college, and gave us hope that he might stroke a University crew to a like victory 
 in the future. His departure from us, then, was the occasion of an unusual mani- 
 festation of sorrow. 
 
 After leaving Yale he engaged for a short time in the lumber business in Pitts- 
 burg, but was again compelled to change his plans by reason of his health. In J 872 
 he removed to Denver, Colorado, where up to the time of his death he continued 
 to reside, though for longer or shorter intervals he was in other places — New 
 York Qty; Hanover, Germany; Paris, France; and Pasadena, California. He was 
 prominently engaged in real estate transactions in Denver, and made substantial 
 
 327 
 
additions to its buildings in the erection of the "Central" and ** Normandy/* on 
 Champa Street, and the McCIintock Building, at the comer of Sixteenth and CaH- 
 fomia Streets. 
 
 But his activities were by no means confined to his secular business* He found 
 time to engage in active Christian service that was of great value to the growing 
 city of Denver. To the building up of the Central Presbyterian Church his energies 
 were directed without stint; and his personal work for charitable enterprises is said 
 to have been most generous. 
 
 After the year 1904 his home was visited by a succession of serious illnesses, 
 culminating in the death of his wife, November 19, J 908. The moral courage and 
 Christian faith with which he bore this great sorrow were an inspiration to all who 
 knew him. 
 
 He threw himself into church work with unwonted energy j he entered into 
 broader business activities; and in his home combined the tenderness and faithfulness 
 of the mother who had been taken with the father's strength and sagacity. 
 
 It is one of the greatest sources of comfort and gratification to his family that 
 he was permitted to so thoroughly enjoy the fortieth reunion of the Qass of Seventy. 
 The cordial reception given him by his classmates at that time touched him most 
 deeply. 
 
 On November 19, J9I0, after a very brief illness, when seemingly enjoying 
 better health than he had known for years, he was taken to be with her who had 
 gone before. On the very anniversary day of her going, just two years later, they 
 were reunited. 
 
 A memorial service was held at the Central Presbyterian Church — the church 
 he had served long and faithfully. The men with whom he had been most closely 
 associated in the work of the church bore testimony to the consistent life he had 
 led in their midst — dwelling upon his love and devotion to his family, his loyalty 
 to his church, and his pride in Denver* No more sincere words of appreciation 
 were uttered than those embodied in the resolutions presented by the session of the 
 church, which were as follows: 
 
 "He was of unfailing courtesy, remarkably gentle yet strong in his views and 
 convictions of right; of a disposition most charitable in the true meaning, in that 
 he 'upbraided not, suffered long, and was kind.' He was one who, because of his 
 sterling integrity, his refinement, his sweetness of temper, attracted all with whom 
 he came in contact. His elevated and refined mind led him to enjoy and appreciate 
 the beautiful, and his love of little children, who in turn responded to his affections, 
 is beautiful to recall. He was one in whose heart we recognize * grace had done 
 its perfect work.* 
 
 "We loved him and we mourn his loss, but rejoice that when the Master called 
 him home he *fell on sleep,* *full of grace and good works.* '* 
 
 328 
 
He was a charter member and first vice-president of the G>Iorado Yale Asso- 
 ciation in )882, and was president and member of the Executive G)mmittee in 1883- 
 }884. 
 
 He was married, October J, J868, to Miss Anna, daughter of Rev* A* IVL 
 Colton, Yale, J 835, who was for twenty-seven years pastor of the First Congrega- 
 tional Church in Easthampton, Massachusetts. She (^ed November 19, 1908*

WOLCOTT BARBER MANWARING 
 
 fANWARING. Bom in Norwich, Connecticut, May 30, J 847. Died 
 May 18, 1905. He was the son of Robert Alexander (bom in New 
 London, Qjnnecticut, in 1811, and died in 1890) and Ellen (Barber) 
 Manwaring. The father graduated at the Harvard Medical School 
 in 1832, and the degree of MJ). was later conferred upon him by Yale College, 
 The founder of his family was Oliver Manwaring, who settled in New London 
 in 1664. Dr. Robert Manwaring's mother was Mary Wolcott, a descendant of 
 Roger Wolcott, Colonial governor of Connecticut. On his mother's side Wolcott 
 Barber Manwaring was descended from Thomas Barber, who came to this 
 country in J 635, from Rev. James Noyes, one of the founders of Yale College, 
 and from Elder William Brewster, of the ** Mayflower." His grandfather, Noyes 
 Barber, was a member of Congress from Connecticut from t82t to J 835. One 
 of his forbears. Rev. Jonathan Barber, graduated from Yale in J 730. Two 
 Colonial governors of Rhode Island, William Coddington and Peleg Sanford, were 
 also among his ancestors. 
 
 ^ ^ ^ 
 
 Wolcott Barber Manwaring came from Andover with several others of the 
 Class, entering college Freshman year. He was with us only a few weeks, but 
 long enough to have us form the same favorable opinion of him that had been 
 formed by his classmates at Andover. He was a member of Delta Kappa and 
 Brothers in Unity. 
 
 After leaving Yale, he pursued his studies for a year at Harvard and then 
 went into the lumber business with a Boston firm. Later he became manager 
 of the New London Oil and Lumber Company, of which the late J. N. Harris 
 was treasurer. He then removed to Tidioute, in the Pennsylvania oil region, 
 where he remained in the company's service until its affairs were closed. After 
 his father's death, in J 890, he devoted himself to his mother in her declining 
 years. 
 
 He was one of the founders of the Mayflower Society, and was a member 
 of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. 
 
 He was successively a member of the First Church of Christ in New London 
 and of the Second Congregational Church. He gave his property to found a 
 children's hospital in memory of his parents. 
 
 He is said to have been ^*an affectionate and dutiful son, a refined and 
 courteous gentleman, a devout Christian, a warm friend," an estimate that his 
 Yale associates can well believe to be altogether just.

 His immediate preparation for college was under Rev. Henry Jones, of Bridge- 
 port, Connecticut, although he had made some previous preparation under different 
 instructors. He came into Seventy at the beginning of Freshman year, having 
 been in Sixty-nine nearly two years, and left us Sophomore year on account of 
 ill health. He was a member of Brothers and Gamma Nu. 
 
 After leaving the Qass he was engaged for nearly two years in newspaper 
 work. In June of J 870 he matriculated at Oxford, England. He went to France 
 for the summer, and while there he found himself in a war atmosphere. As he 
 had taken a course of medical lectures before entering college, he joined the Amer- 
 ican Ambulance Corps as assistant surgeon. He served with distinction through- 
 out the war, being in most of the battles from Met^ to the Siege of Paris. He was 
 shut up in Paris after the Treaty of Versailles, and served as surgeon in the 
 Ambulance Corps after the investment of the city by the Versailles government. 
 At one time he was declared an enemy of the Commune, and was sentenced to be 
 shot, but was saved from that fate by the intercession of Honorable E. B, Wash- 
 bum, the United States Minister to France. For his services during the war and 
 under the Commune he was honored with the Cross of the Legion of Honor? for 
 personal bravery on the battlefield he received the Military Medal, and for his 
 ambulance work the Geneva Cross. 
 
 After his experiences in France he relinquished his idea of studying at Oxford, 
 and after a season of travel through Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land returned, 
 in I87I, to the United States. For a few montiks he devoted himself to literary 
 work, and in t872 went to Europe on a mission from the State Department at 
 Washington. After his return, in J 873, he was chiefly engaged, until 1875, in work 
 on the "Bricfeeport Daily Standard." In I875-I876 he assisted the late Honorable 
 Gideon Hollister in a revision and reduction of Hollister's ''History of Connecticut" 
 —a work that never came out. In J 880 he visited Europe again. After his 
 return to the United States, in 1 88 J, and until his death, he was engaged in lit- 
 erary work, principally upon English and Roman history and literature. He had 
 been engaged as lecturer at Chautauqua for the classes of J 885 and J 886, but 
 
 333 
 
died, January- 6, 1886, at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, where he had made his 
 home for a number of years and where he had filled the position of Professor of 
 History in the Perth Amboy Art SchooL 
 
 He was married on February U, 1881, to Miss Jeane, daughter of the late 
 Marcus and Rebecca Spring, of Perth Amboy. Two children were bom to them:

WILLIAM RICHMOND PETEE^ 
 
 ^ETERS. Bom in New York Qty, April J3, t850. Son of the Rev. 
 Dr. Thomas McCIure and Alice Clarissa (Richmond) Peters. Dr. Peters, 
 the father, who was bom in Boston in J 821 and was graduated from Yale 
 in 1 84 J, was descended from Andrew Peters, who came from England 
 to Boston in 1657 and settled at Andover, Massachusetts, His gravestone stands 
 in the churchyard at North Andover. Andrew's great-grandson, William Rich- 
 mond's grandfather, John Peters, moved from Andover to Blue Hill, Maine, and 
 his brick house, built before the Revolution, still stands on Peters Point. The 
 family is well known in Maine, and the late John A. Peters, Yale, 1842, repre- 
 sented the state in Congress for three terms, and was chief justice of Maine from 
 1883 until his death in J 900. The Rev. Samuel Peters, who wrote the "History 
 of the Blue Laws of Connecticut," and was a graduate of Yale, Class of J 757, 
 came from the same Andover ancestor. Other Yale graduates of the Peters family, 
 in addition to those already named, are William Richmond's cousin, John A., 1842; 
 his brother. Rev. John P., 1873; his son, William R., Jr., J 908; and his nephew, 
 John P., Jr., 1908. His younger son and a nephew are in J 9 12 and I9I3, respec- 
 tively. A collateral ancestor, his great-great-uncle, David McClure, graduated at 
 Yale in J767. 
 
 William Richmond Peters was prepared for college at private schools, enter- 
 ing the Class Freshman year from the school of the Church of the Transfiguration, 
 Twenty-ninth Street, near Fifth Avenue, New York, at the age of sixteen. He 
 left voluntarily at the end of Freshman year and entered the employment of one of 
 the oldest chemical importing houses in New York, Cortlandt deP. Field and Com- 
 pany, and remained with them till the end of 1873. In J 874 he started, on borrowed 
 capital, in the same business with a fellow-clerk under the firm name of Peters and 
 Tiemann, afterwards William R. Peters and Company, and now Peters, White and 
 Company, No. 92 William Street. The firm has been steadily successful in a mod- 
 erate way; and, in addition to its original business, has come to control mining 
 and manufacturing interests as welL He still devotes some time to business, although 
 much less than formerly; and this, with the care of his property and that of others, 
 and his well-known efforts to do good in connection with the charitable institution 
 with which he is connected constitute his work. He is an officer and director in 
 several corporations, both mercantile, financial, and charitable. He says: "I have 
 worked hard, traveled to some extent; have led a busy life and have a good many 
 interests in both play and work." His recreations include country life, of which he 
 is very fond, various out-of-door pursuits and sports, such as golf, shooting, riding 
 
 335 
 
and motoring:* In politics he is a Republican, but has never taken any active part 
 in public life* 
 
 He is a member of the Century, Metropolitan, Riding;, and several other 
 social and sporting; clubs; of the Chamber of Commerce and the historical, 
 geographical, and various other societies, museums, etc.

GEORGE PLATO PIERCE 
 
 ^lERCE. Bom March 8, J 846, in Canton, New York. Son of Dennis 
 Dwight and Phila M. (Gibbons) Pierce. He is the eighth in descent 
 from Captain Michael Pierce, who was born in England and came 
 to New England about the year 1645, locating first in Hingham, Mas- 
 sachusetts, and removing the following year to Scituate, where he resided on the 
 Cohasset Road at the time of his death. 
 
 ^ fi /tf 
 
 He received his preparation for college at the Canton Academy and came 
 into the Class in April, 1867. He left us Sophomore year to enter Columbia 
 College, New York, from which he was graduated with high honors in the 
 Qass of Sixty-nine. 
 
 After graduation he became a farmer, to which occupation he joined that 
 of editing and publishing a Second Adventist paper, called the "Cayster," to 
 which Professor Totten has often referred in his books. 
 
 A letter to the Secretary, dated December 3 J, J 9 JO, says: "Your latest of 
 about the midst of December finds me engaged in the final encounter' with death. 
 I was too weakly and thin-blooded to risk the trip to New Haven last June. The 
 first chill of winter struck me down with a severe cold, from which I have not 
 yet recovered. I shall be sixty-five if I live till March, which is a little better 
 than the average of my father's family so far." The letter ends with the sen- 
 tence, "Thankful for the fraternal feeling always shown me by the grand old 
 Class of Seventy, Yale, adieu." A later letter states that his health had improved. 
 
 He was married. May 19, 1887, to Miss Augusta H., daughter of William 
 Hoskin, of Hoskinsville, Ohio. She died October J 9, J 902, at Linden Heights, 
 Ohio. Their children are: Rex S., bom June 5, J 888; Dwight Shem, bom

THOMAS TREZEVANT PLAYER 
 
 LAYER, Bom in Nashville, Tennessee, November 24, J 849. EXed 
 in 1896. 
 
 He entered the Class Freshman year and remained -with us until the first 
 term of Junior year, when ill health compelled him to leave college. He was 
 a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and Phi Theta Psi. 
 
 He afterwards took up the study of the law and began practice in St. Louis, 
 where he was located in 1873. Sometime during the year 1 875- J 876 he went to the 
 young city of Pueblo, Colorado, where he remained until the time of his death, the 
 exact date of which has not been ascertained. In 1879 he was taken into partnership 
 with John M. Waldron, one of the ablest lawyers of the city, which continued 
 until the spring of J 883, when he was appointed judge of the Criminal Court of 
 Pueblo County, a position which he creditably filled for eight years. After leaving 
 the bench he was a great sufferer from rheumatism, which prevented him from 
 practicing his profession. 
 
 What was said of him by his law partner is a fair statement of how he was 
 regarded by the people of Pueblo, as can be substantiated by the Class Secretary, 
 who knew him while residing there. 
 
 Mr. Waldron said of him: **He was universally regarded as a man of the 
 strictest integrity and probity of character, and I think I can truthfully say that 
 his untimely demise was sincerely regretted by the entire community. 
 
 "As a practitioner he was distinguished as a careful, painstaking, and labo- 
 rious student, and his legal arguments were models of terseness, clearness, and 
 scholarly research. 
 
 "As a judge he was universally recognized as eminently fair, fearless, and 
 as nearly correct in his conclusions as it is possible for a *nisi prius' judge to be. 
 
 "As a citizen he was always at the fore in promoting worthy enterprises of 
 a public character, and fearless and open in his denunciation of anything which 
 savored of fraud, or that was inimical to the public welfare. 
 
 "In his social relations he was always marked by a frank, winning bon- 
 hommie, which made him the soul and center of every gathering where he was 
 present. 
 
 "Had he lived and retained his health he might fairly have aspired to almost 
 any public position within the gift of the people of this state. 
 
 "I may add that the judge lived and c^ed a bachelor, hymeneal ties never 
 having presented any attractions sufficient to induce him to become fettered thereby."

* EDWIN PULSIFER 
 
 ^ULSIFER. Bom July J5, 1847, at Hennepin, Illinois. Died July 20, 
 1906. Son of Sidney and Althea Jane (Pamielee) Pulsifer. The 
 founder of the family in this country was Richard Montague, of 
 Boveney, Buckinghamshire, England, who settled in Wethersfield, Con- 
 necticut, in I65J, and went to Hadley, Massachusetts, in 1660. His wife, Abigail 
 Downing, was the daughter of Rev. Dr. Downing, of Norwich, England. 
 
 On the maternal side he was a descendant of John Parmelee, a colonist 
 from the Isle of Guernsey in J 635, who settled in Guilford, Connecticut, before 
 1645. He was of Belgian origin, a descendant of one Maurice Parmelee, who 
 fled from his country to Holland in the fifteenth century to escape persecution as 
 a reformer. 
 
 ^ ^ /* 
 
 Edwin Pulsifer was fitted for college at General Russell's Commercial and 
 Collegiate Institute, New Haven, Connecticut, and entered college with the Class, 
 remaining with us until the end of Freshman year. 
 
 After leaving college he entered the banking house of S. Pulsifer and Com- 
 pany, Peoria, Illinois, where he remained until 1878. For a time thereafter he 
 was teller in the Northwestern Bank of Chicago. He resided from January, J 895, 
 until 1900 in Peoria, being connected with the Second National Bank of that dty. 
 Bl health compelled his removal to Denver in 1900, where he remained until his 
 death. At times he was able to act as bank teller, but periodically was laid aside 
 from business by lack of health. Acting upon the advice of his physician he 
 invested in a few horses, the care and handling of which kept him out of doors and 
 gave him some interest in life. He made his home at the Hotel Broadway, and was 
 a member of the Gentlemen's Driving and Riding Club of Denver. 
 
 His death came by automobile accident, July 20, J 906. He was buried in Fair- 
 mont Cemetery, Denver, Nathan B. Coy serving as one of the pallbearers. 
 
 The county treasurer under whom Pulsifer was employed said of him: **1 am 
 sure that no better man ever lived. When I took charge of the county treasurer's 
 office, two months ago, I placed Mr. Pulsifer in one of the departments. He was 
 one of the best accountants in the West, and had several years of faithful service as 
 teller in the Colorado National, the German National, and the Stock Yards of 
 Denver." 
 
 He was married in Peoria, Ulinois, September J, 1869, to Miss Ella M. Day, 
 daughter of C. B. Day, a prominent dry goods merchant of that city. She died 
 December 3, J 875. Two children were born to them: Sidney Day, bom July 3 J, 
 J870, died April 13, 1903 j and Flora Lucia, bom March 4, 1874, died June 20, J899.

LYMAN WILLIAMS REDINGTON 
 
 ^EDINGTON. Bom in Waddington, SU Lawrence County, New York, 
 March J4, J 849, Son of George and Loraine Williams (Sheldon) 
 Redington, George Redington (bom in Vergennes, Vermont, Novem- 
 ber 23, J 798, died in Waddington, September J 5, 1850) was a lawyer, a 
 county judge, and a member of the New York State Legislature for several years. 
 
 The Redington family trace their ancestry back, in this country, as far as 
 John Redington, who came to America in 1643 and located at Topsfield, Massa- 
 chusetts, where he was a landholder and held many positions of trust. Our class- 
 mate's grandfather, Jacob, served through the entire War of the Revolution, and his 
 great-grandfather was killed in the French War. Through intermarriages of the 
 male members of his ancestors, he is related to the Kings, Haynes, Hubbards, and 
 Davidsons. 
 
 On his mother's side, Redington is a direct descendant of Captain Amasa 
 Sheldon, of the Revolutionary Army, and of John Bass, who married a daughter 
 of John Alden, of the "Mayflower." 
 
 /^ ^ ^ 
 
 Lyman Williams Redington prepared for college at Williston Seminary, East- 
 hampton, Massachusetts, and entered with the Class. He was a member of Linonia 
 and Gamma Nu. He left Yale during Freshman year to enter the scientific 
 department of Williston Seminary. He afterwards studied in the Columbia Law 
 School and concluded his professional studies in the office of United States Senator 
 Matt H. Carpenter, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, After his admission to the bar, owing 
 to ill health he spent some months traveling in Eui^ope, and on his return, in J 875, 
 located in Rutland, Vermont, the home of his maternal ancestors. He was very 
 shortly elected to the office of prosecuting attorney, which he held for six years. 
 
 He was the Democratic nominee for the Legislature in an almost hopelessly 
 Republican district for four successive terms, being finally elected by six majority, 
 Redington was the Democratic nominee for Speaker in the Legislature in 1878, was 
 a delegate-at-large for Vermont to the Democratic National Convention in J 880, 
 and was the nominee of the Democracy for Congress in 1882. He was chairman 
 of the Democratic State Convention in J 882, and in 1884 was elected municipal 
 judge of the city where he resided, being reelected in 1885, in a largely Republican 
 district, by an increased majority. In the fall of 1884 he was the Democratic candi- 
 date for governor of the state of Vermont, cutting down the usual Republican 
 majority in his famous canvass by five thousand votes. 
 
 In J 885 Mr. Redington was appointed postmaster by President Cleveland of 
 the most important office in Vermont, resigning his judgeship to accept the same.

In 1888 he was on the stump for the Democratic National and New York State 
 G)mmittees for over two months, having already done service of a like character 
 in the state of New York in J884« Upon the inauguration of President Harrison, 
 in 1889, Redington resigned his postmastership and located in New York Gty for 
 the practice of his profession, where he has ever since resided. In every campaign 
 since J 889 he has done service on the "stump" for the state and municipal com- 
 mittees. In J 894 he was the Tammany Hall candidate for the Assembly in the 
 old Twenty-seventh District, but though overwhelmed with the rest of his party 
 by the tidal wave of that year, he was elected in J 898- 1 899, during which session 
 he made a notable speech on the abolishment of the death penalty. Another speech 
 that is worthy of mention is one that he delivered before the Vermont Legislature, 
 in favor of the bill entitled, "An Act to Regulate the Sale of Intoxicating Liquors," 
 which was called "one of the best-drawn and most carefully considered measures 
 ever presented to that Legislature." In 1908 he was appointed assistant corporation 
 counsel for New York City. 
 
 Redington is a member of the New York Sons of the Revolution, of G>eur 
 de Lion Commandery, Kane Loc^e, and is a member of the Osceola, Mohawk, 
 Wahatchie, Sagamore, and Harlem Clubs.

 a member of Brothers and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. He left the Qass during Fresh- 
 man year, and was graduated from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, with the Class 
 of J870. 
 
 After graduation he kept books for a while in his father's mills, and then 
 engaged in the paper and stock business in Cincinnati. He afterwards studied 
 medicine at the Medical College at Miami, where he received his MJD*, and then 
 practiced medicine for several years in Princetown, Ohio. On account of the ex- 
 posure to which he was subjected as a country practitioner, he accepted an offer to 
 act as the representative of an Eastern tobacco company. 
 
 In June, J 906, the Class Secretary received a letter from Shaffer with the infor- 
 mation that he was located at Edgemere, Paget West, Bermuda, whither he had 
 gone for the health of himself and wife, and where he had opened a sanatarium for 
 "the care of any suffering with neurasthenia or needing rest or quiet.'* 
 
 Efforts to reach him of late have failed, the last circular letter of inquiry having 
 been returned to the Secretary. 
 
 Shaffer was reported to have been married in December, J 895, to Miss Martha 
 Cecil, daughter of W. K. Lewis, of Boston.

 in the East, Sherman went to the Philippine Islands, where he shortly became 
 division superintendent of education for the islands of Samar and I^yte, with head- 
 quarters at Tacloban. For nearly three years he worked faithfully at his task, when 
 he was attacked by the disease called "beriberi," which forced him to return to the 
 United States, where he arrived in May, J 904, He died at Medford, his native place, 
 only twelve hours after his arrival, and was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery, May 5, 
 J904, 
 
 He was a man of high ideals and of a self-sacrificing spirit, and may well be 
 placed among the army of martyrs who have given their lives to noble causes.

 IMITH. Bom in Toledo, Ohio, March 10, J849. Died May 23, J879. 
 Son of Denison B, and Mary S. (Hunt) Smith, 
 
 <* <# ^ 
 
 He was prepared for college at the school of Rev« A. V. Blake, in Gambier, 
 Ohio, and was for a short time a member of Kenyon College, in that town. He 
 then spent a year at home in business, and in January, 1867, entered the Qass, but 
 afterwards entered Seventy-two, with which class he was graduated. 
 
 He spent three years after graduation in the General Theological Seminary 
 of the Protestant Episcopal Church in New York Qty, and on the 9th of Novem- 
 ber, 1875, was ordained deacon by Bishop Bedell in Toledo, He was soon after 
 called to St. Peter's Church, Albany, New York, as assistant to the Rev. Dr. W. W. 
 BattershaU (Yale College, 1864), and while in that position was ordained to the 
 priesthood by Bishop Doane, in the spring of 1878. By exposure in returning from 
 an evening reception early in 1877, he contracted a disease of the lungs, which at 
 once took a powerful hold upon him. He continued at work until August, J 878, 
 when he left Albany for Colorado. Finding that his strength was gradually failing, 
 he returned to his father's home in Toledo, where he died May 23, 1879. 
 
 In a memorial sermon by Dr. BattershaU these words were used: "In all the 
 beauty of his young life, with the splendors of the dawn yet glowing in his heart, 
 with his work seemingly undone, with questions unsolved, to which ripened thought 
 and service at the altar and toil among men would have brought solution, he was 
 stricken down. In the struggle for and defense of those higher truths to which 
 every earnest soul is summoned in this present day, with his well-appointed equip- 
 ment for the fight, his critical thought, graceful courtesy, his warm affections 
 cased in the reserves of manly bearing and gentle manners — with all these, which 
 promised so much and which endeared him to so many, he was stricken down and 
 the forces of his life ebbed away." 
 
 How well does the above characterization recall the Frank Smith whom we 
 knew at Yale — the refined, courteous, manly fellow whom we all learned to respect, 
 and whose departure from us was so sincerely regretted by all who knew him.

RUFUS BABCOCK SMITH 
 
 /MITH. Bom in Cokbroofc, Connecticut, March J, J846. Son of Milton 
 and Mary (Swift) Smith* His father, a farmer, was bom in G}Iebrook, 
 March J8, J8I8, and died there March 18, 1863. On his father's side 
 he is a descendant of Thomas Rogers, one of the ** Mayflower*' party 
 of 1620, Hannah Rogers, who was born at Eastham, Massachusetts, and was 
 fourth in descent from Thomas Rogers, having married Daniel Smith, the ancestor 
 of Rufus Babcock Smith, about the year J 700.

 Rufus B. Smith was prepared for college in the Connecticut Literary Institute at 
 Suffield, Connecticut, after having rendered loyal service to his country as private 
 in Company F, Second Connecticut Heavy Artiflery. He was graduated from 
 the Suffield Institute at the head of his class. He entered Yale at the beginning of 
 Freshman year, and left the Qass at about the end of the year, but not before 
 he had made his mark as one of our ablest men. He was a member of Linonia 
 and of Kappa Sigma Epsilon, in which latter society he took the first prize in its 
 debate. 
 
 After leaving college he began the study of law in Warren, Pennsylvania, 
 where, in 1869, he was admitted to the bar and where he resided until Septem- 
 ber 24, 1871. Since then he has been a resident of Madison, Wisconsin, where 
 he has been a successful practitioner of law. He has been a court commissioner 
 continuously since 1873, and was for four years, viz.: J878, J879, J902,and J903, 
 city attorney of the dty of Madison. 
 
 He was married at Warren, Pennsylvania, October J3, J869, to Mary, daughter

* WILLIAM PECK STEDMAN 
 
 /TEDMAN, Bom in Brooklyn, New York, April 20, J849. Died 
 October 3, J 873. Son of Oiarles J. and Elizabeth (Strong) Stedman. 
 Owing to ill health he was able to remain in the Class but a few months* 
 He was a member of Brothers and Delta Kappa Epsilon. 
 After leaving us he traveled for a time both in this country and abroad, alter- 
 nating his journeys with attempts at business as a clerk. In the fall of 1870 he 
 went to St. Paul, Minnesota, where, in February of J 873, he was married to Miss 
 Emily A. G>ming, of that dty. He was soon compelled to retire from business. 
 His efforts to regain his health among the Minnesota lakes were futile, and he died

FREDERICK J. SYME

FREDERICK JAMES SYME 
 
 ^YME. Bom in New York Qty, September 23, 1847. His father was 
 Dr. James Symc, a native of Perth, Scotland, who was graduated from 
 Edinburgh University, and who almost immediately after graduating 
 settled and practiced medicine in New York for a number of years. In 
 t850 he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he died in I87I. He amassed 
 considerable property, but it was wholly swept away from him as the result of the 
 Qvil War. The family in Scotland was famous for the number of distinguished 
 physicians who belonged to it. 
 
 His mother's maiden name was Cornelia Adelaide Cooper. She was the only 
 child of Rev. J. G. Cooper, who compiled Cooper's "Virgil." Miss Cooper attended 
 the Willard Academy for young ladies at Albany, and for a time after graduating 
 taught there. On her mother's side she was of Revolutionary stock. Two of her 
 great-uncles were killed defending Fort Groton, just opposite New London, Connecti- 
 cut, at the time Benedict Arnold made his celebrated attack. The mother of these 
 two young men also can be said to have been a soldier in the Continental Army. 
 At the time of this same attack she and a number of other Colonial dames were 
 dressed up in uniform and directed to parade up and down the ramparts of Fort 
 Griswold, also in New London harbor, and make a show of force, thus preventing 
 an attack at that point. This branch of the family resided at Norwich, Connecticut, 
 and were a part of the Avery family. 
 
 fi ^ ft 
 
 Frederick James Syme was prepared for college at the Rev. W. F. Bacon's 
 school, Woodbury, Connecticut, and at the Hopkins Grammar School at New 
 Haven. He entered with the Class as a Freshman, and remained until the end 
 of the first term. Junior year, when, on account of the severe war losses which his 
 father had sustained, Syme was unwilling to tax him any further. His departure 
 was much regretted by the Class. 
 
 While in college, Syme was a member of Delta Kappa, Phi Theta Psi, and 
 Alpha Delta Phi. He was also the secretary of the Freshman baseball club. He 
 recdved an honorable mention in a prize debate in which he took part. 
 
 He taught school for a time in Louisiana, and studied law. Afterwards he 
 entered his uncle's dry goods establishment, the firm of J. Syme and Company, a firm 
 which had been in existence for fifty years. After remaining with them for eight 
 years, he formed the firm of AHen and Syme, and engaged in the business of rice 
 nulling and rice growing. After being engaged in this business for about ten years, 
 he disposed of all his interests in Louisiana and came on to New York to reside. 
 
 349 
 
His present work is in the line of journalism. He is the editor and proprietor 
 of the ^Shareholder/' a Wall Street publication. The paper has enabled him to 
 establish a favorable reputation as a writer upon financial affairs. As far back 
 as 1897, he drew up and had presented to Gmgress a bill providing for a system of 
 national incorporation. This bill was the first bill ever presented to G>ng;ress on this 
 subject, and the present agfitation for national incorporation has largfely resulted from 
 the introduction of this measure. He fully thinks the bill will ultimately become a 
 law and, when it does so, that it will be a credit to the University and to his class. 
 
 On February JI, 1875, he was married to Miss Mary Aline, daughter of 
 Stephen Allen, a sugar planter of New Orleans. Mr. Allen was a cousin of 
 Stephen Allen, a former mayor of the city of New York. Mrs. Syme died March 
 14, I9J0. She lost three children in infancy, and one son, Sydney Allen Syme, is 
 still living. In J 894 he took his preliminary examination to enter Yale, but finally 
 entered Princeton, from which, however, he did not graduate. He has since become 
 a successful lawyer, at one time acting as the judge of the Qty Court of Mount 
 Vernon.

*JOHN BUTLER TYTUS 
 
 §YTUS. Bom in Middletown, Ohio, February 22, 1849. Died Novem- 
 ber J8, 1893. Son of Francis J. and Sarah (Butler) Tytus. The 
 Tytus family were of Dutch descent, and were settled in early Colonial 
 times in Loudon County, Virginia. Our classmate's mother was a 
 daughter of Rev. John Butler, of North Yarmouth, Massachusetts. 
 
 John Butler Tytus was prepared for college at PhiHips Academy, Exeter, New 
 Hampshire, and was one year at Brown University before entering the Class of 
 Seventy at the beginning of Freshman year. On account of his health he left Yale 
 at the end of Sophomore year, to the great regret of the Class, with whom he was 
 exceptionally popular. He was a member of Brothers, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and 
 Phi Theta Psi. 
 
 For several years after leaving the Class he was in the paper business in 
 Milwaukee, but afterwards returned to his native place, to enter the Tytus Paper 
 Manufacturing Compziny, with which he was connected until his death, which 
 occurred November 18, J 893, as a result of acute stomach trouble, from which he 
 had long been a sufferer. 
 
 What he had been in college, attractive in person and winsome in character, 
 he continued to be throughout his life. Indeed it is said that he grew even more 
 attractive as the years of his life passed away. At his funeral, a long line of work- 
 ingmen, with tears streaming down their cheeks, passed slowly by his remains. 
 
 He was married, June 18, 1874, to Miss M. Ewing, daughter of William Griffith 
 Ewing, of Ewing Manor, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

FRANK VINCENT 
 
 INCENT. Bom in Brooklyn, Long Island, April 2, t848. Son of 
 Frank and Harriet (Bams) Vincent, 
 
 ^ ^ /f 
 
 He was prepared for college at the Peekskill Military Academy, New York, 
 and entered with the Class, but owing to ill health was compelled to leave at the 
 end of the second term of Freshman year* He reentered with Seventy-one, but 
 was again compelled to discontinue his studies* He was a member of Brothers 
 and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. In J 875 he received the honorary degree of A^M, 
 from Yale. 
 
 In J 869 he began that extensive series of travels which has placed his name 
 high up on the roll of the world's most distinguished travelers, the accounts of 
 which have added no little to our knowledge of the human race and of the habitats 
 of strange peoples. 
 
 His aim to make a systematic tour of the entire world, civilised and uncivilized, 
 may be said to have been substantially realized, for it has covered Indo-China, Lap- 
 land, Brazil, the Gjngo Free State, Micronesia, and Melanesia — the Fiji, Solomon, 
 Gilbert, Marshall, Caroline, and Ladrone Islands; also Papua or New Guinea, and 
 penetrated to the center of Borneo. 
 
 Accounts of his travels have appeared in the following volumes: "The Land 
 of the White Elephant;" "Through and Through the Tropics;" "Norsk, Lapp, 
 and Finn;" "Around and About South America;" "In and Out of Central 
 America;" "Actual Africa;" "The Lady of Cawnpore;" "The Plant World," and 
 "The Animal World." 
 
 No less remarkable than the extent of Vincent's travels has been the extent of 
 his reading, an interesting account of which he has given as follows: "When 
 seventeen years of age, *with the easy confidence of youth,' I made two resolves of 
 physical and mental action, both of which by persistence and a fortunate concur- 
 rence of circumstances have actually been accomplished. The first was to make 
 a systematic tour of the most interesting parts of the whole world. This was con- 
 cluded in J 907. The second resolution was to systematically survey the entire field 
 of literature, science, and art in all nations, ancient and modem, confining myself 
 strictly, however, to the 'classics and masterpieces,' the very famous standard and 
 epoch-making books. This employed all of my spare time for forty years, and has 
 been happily completed. Frequently I have reached the late Lord Acton's high 
 average of an octavo volume a day, but the annual number read has been about 
 two hundred and fifty, or a total of ten thousand volumes in the grand scheme. 
 My chief authority has been *Botta's Handbook of Universal Literature,' though, 
 
 352 
 
FRANK VINCENT 
 1903 
 
of course, I have had to consult scores of students' manuals, readers' g:uides and 
 courses of reading;, hundreds of lists of best books, and thousands of library and 
 publishers' catalog:ues* If I am amazed at the temerity of undertaking so huge a 
 labor, I am still more amazed at its successful accomplishment, and before old age. 
 My work has been thorough and complete? none of the * immortals' has been 
 neglected. To the best of my knowledge and belief, in the quality and fame of the 
 authors and the variety and dignity of the subjects studied, it is a feat quite unrivaled, 
 and therefore might with propriety be added to the record of Seventy." 
 
 A number of years ago Vincent presented a valuable and interesting collection 
 of Indo-Chinese antiquities and art and industrial objects to the Metropolitan 
 Museum of Art, New York Qty. 
 
 In recognition of what he has accomplished in the way of discovery and pub- 
 lication, he has received decorations from sovereigns and governments in Europe, 
 Asia, Africa, and South America, and has been made an honorary member 
 of twenty-six scientific or literary academies and societies scattered over both 
 hemispheres. 
 
 He was married, June 3, 1909, to a distant cousin. Miss Harriet S. Vincent, 
 of Brooklyn, New York. His final word to the Secretary reads: "Her first tour 
 of the globe may be announced as soon to be 'personally conducted.' "

CHARLES SALTER WELLES 
 
 ^ELLES. Bom at Springfield, Illinois, September t3, J846, Son of 
 Charles Roger and Mary (Salter) Welles. His father (bom August 26, 
 1 81 2, at Farmington, Connecticut j died in Springfield, Illinois, July 23, 
 1854) was a member of the bar of Sangamon Qrcuit, Springfield, Illi- 
 nois, and was associated with Judge Davis, Judge Edwards, of Yale, Abraham 
 Lincoln, and others of the distinguished men of that day. The founder of the 
 Welles family in America was Thomas Welles, fourth governor of Connecti- 
 cut. He came to Connecticut in 1636 as private secretary to Lord Saye and Sele. 
 Numbers of his descendants have been graduated from Yale, among whom may 
 be mentioned Solomon, Class of J 739; General Roger, his son, who was wounded 
 at Yorfctown, Class of J775j Hon, Martin Welles, son of Roger, our classmate's 
 grandfather. Class of J 806; and Charles Roger Welles, Class of 1834, 
 
 Welles's mother was bom in New Haven, Connecticut, February 24, I8J9, and 
 died at Elwyn, Pennsylvania, March 7, t900. She was educated in part at Miss 
 Peters' School, afterwards Mrs. Hubbard's, at the comer of Grove and Church 
 Streets, New Haven, and finished her education under the care of Miss Delia Bacon, 
 the sister of Rev. Dr. Leonard Bacon. She was descended, on her mother's side, 
 from Pierre Bontecou, a Huguenot fugitive who, in J 684, fled with his wife and 
 five children from the Isle of Re, going first to England, and then, in 1689, to New 
 York. On her paternal side she was of English descent, her father, Cleveland 
 Jarman Salter, having been a descendant of a London banker and of the Daveys. 
 
 Charles Salter Welles was fitted for college at the Collegiate and Commercial 
 Institute and at the Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, Connecticut. He 
 entered Yale with the Class, and was a member of Linonia and Delta Kappa. 
 On account of an attack of typhoid fever, he was obliged to leave college during 
 the second term of Sophomore year, which he did with an honorable dismissal. 
 He went to Europe, remaining a year, and then purchased a fruit and dairy farm 
 just out of Media, Pennsylvania. He lived there until 1878, when he removed to 
 Burlington, New Jersey, where he resided until 1 88 J. Then he removed to the 
 farm in Elwyn, Pennsylvania, known as "Highland," which he had purchased in 
 1 87 1. There he has remained to this day, living the life of a gentleman farmer 
 and dispensing a generous hospitality to all the men of Seventy who have had the 
 pleasure of abiding under his roof. 
 
 He is a life member of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, the 
 Pennsylvania Historical Society, and the Pennsylvania Forestry Association. He

is also a member of the Delaware Cova^ty Institute of Science, of the Yale Alumni 
 Association, of the Presbyterian Social Union, and of the Geog;raphical Society of 
 Philadelphia. 
 
 His political affiliations are Republican* He has always taken an active interest 
 in the work of the Presbyterian Church, which he has served in the Sunday school 
 and as an elder. 
 
 He was married (t)» October 19, 1 87 J, in Media, Pennsylvania, to Miss Susie

* GEORGE POTTER WILSHIRE 
 
 ILSHERE. Bom in Covington, Kentucky, May 17, 1850. Died Janu- 
 ary 24, 1905. Son of George and Clara (demons) Wilshire. 
 
 }f fi fi 
 
 He entered with the Qass and left us at the end of Sophomore year. He 
 returned to Yale, and graduated with the Class of J 87 J. While with us he was 
 a member of Linonia, Kappa Sigma Epsilon, and Phi Theta Psi. 
 
 He was for a while after graduation in the commission business with Wilshire, 
 Dubois and Company, of Cincinnati, and afterwards in the same business in the 
 firm of G. P. Wilshire and Company. The Decennial Record reported him as 
 secretary and treasurer of the Cincinnati and Newport Iron and Pipe Company. 
 
 He reported himself in J89t as having been connected with the Addyston 
 Pipe and Steel Company of Cincinnati, up to October, J 889, when he resigned 
 the vice-presidency of that concern to act as executor of his father's estate. In 
 1895 he was president of the Automatic Injector Company of Cincinnati. In Janu- 
 ary, J 897, he was appointed receiver of the First National Bank of Newport, Ken- 
 tucky, which position he resigned November J, 1899. Afterwards he was occupied 
 in business, and spent the greater part of his time in New Haven, Connecticut. 
 
 After a consuming disease had for some time been doing its fatal work he 
 died, January 24, J 905, at his winter home in Greenwich, Connecticut. His 
 remains were taken to Cincinnati for interment, where they were committed to 
 Mother Earth on January 3 J in Spring Grove Cemetery. 
 
 He was with our Class long enough to have won many friends by his 
 genial personality, and long enough to have become so attached to the Class that 
 he delighted in meeting Seventy men and in attending our Class reunions, at which 
 he was a welcome guest. 
 
 He was a most enthusiastic son of Yale, and was particularly interested in 
 athletic sports, of which he was a keen judge. 
 
 What he was in after life, as shown by the testimony of an intimate friend. 
 Colonel Norris G. Osbom, Yale, J 880, he was known to be essentially by his 
 friends in the two classes with which he was connected while at Yale. Colonel 
 Osbom's tribute is as follows: "I have never known a man who was made 
 happier — I had almost said made more radiant — at the mere suggestion that he 
 could give pleasure to others, provided they would permit him to be the host and 
 sink his personality in their happiness. 
 
 "I cannot speak of Wilshire's college course, because he was nine years in 
 the race ahead of me. I am told by his classmates whom I have been able to 
 
 356 
 
GEORGE P. WILSHIRE 
 J870 and J902 
 
see that the qualities of heart and mind which I found so attractive in him were 
 the very qualities which made him esteemed by his classmates. He was a gentle- 
 man in the righteous sense that he was considerate of the feelings of others j he 
 was modest; he was the soul of honor; he was Yale to the backbone; he was 
 for the great mass of Yale men before he was for himself; he was a Yale demo- 
 crat, in whose eyes the man was worth more than his possessions; he was just 
 and ever hopeful in estimating the probabilities of a Yale training; he appreciated 
 the courtesies shown him because it was his nature to be courteous to others; he 
 was what President Roosevelt calls a 'square man.' 
 
 "Yale has lost one of her best friends in George P. Wilshire, and a host of us 
 have lost such a friend as comes rarely to men even in the great crucible of Yale's 
 generous life. Both the scholars and the athletes of the institution have lost a 
 supporter. He was the friend of every man whose purpose was the betterment 
 of tihe historic old college. The world has lost a representative of all that was 
 most sensitive to its best desires. While we do not always appreciate such men 
 when they are with us — occupied as we are with our own little concerns — it is 
 well that we can spell their merits when the laws of life have enforced their inevitable 
 decrees." 
 
 He was married, June J 5, J 88 1, in Newport, Kentucky, to Miss Anna M. 
 Marshall. Children: Lucy Barry, bom October J 8, J 882; George, bom August J 7, 
 J884; Anna Marshall, bom October 7, 1892. 
 
 George Wilshire was graduated from Yale in J 907, and is engaged in finance in 
 New York Gty.

* EDWARD OLIVER WOLCOTT 
 
 JOLCOTT. Bom in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, March 26, J 848, 
 Died March J, 1905. Son of Rev. Samuel Wolcott, DD., and Harriet 
 Amanda (Pope) Wolcott. His father was bom at South Windsor, Gmi- 
 necticut, in J8J3; was graduated from Yale in J 833 and from Andover 
 Seminary in 1837. He was descended from Henry Wolcott, one of the earliest 
 settlers and magistrates of Windsor, and from Henry's grandson, Roger, one of the 
 Gjlonial governors of Connecticut. 
 
 Samuel Wolcott's maternal grandfather was Rev. David McQure, a Yale 
 graduate of the class of 1769. His wife, Samuel's grandmother, was a daughter 
 of Rev. Benjamin Pomeroy, who was graduated from Yale in 1733 and married a 
 sister of his classmate, Eleazer Wheelock, the first president of Dartmouth G)llege. 
 Our classmate's mother was bom in Oxford, Massachusetts, in I82t, and 
 passed her early life in Millbury, in the same state. She attended school in 
 Providence, where Margaret Fuller was one of the teachers, and was a student 
 at Mount Holyoke Seminary for a while in Mary Lyon's lifetime. 
 
 M' ^ ^ 
 
 Edward Oliver Wolcott was prepared for college at the Norwich Free 
 Academy, Connecticut, but before entering gave proof of his patriotic impulses 
 by enlisting in the One Hundred and Fiftieth Regiment of Ohio Volunteers. He 
 was in the Class but a year, but that was long enough for him to win many 
 friends and to indicate that he was a young man of marked ability. He was a 
 member of Brothers and Kappa Sigma Epsilon. In recognition of his ability and 
 valuable public services, Yale University gave him the degree of A.M. in 1883. 
 His brother Henry also received an honorary A,M, from Yale in 1896. His 
 brother, Herbert W., was graduated from Yale in J 884, and his nephew, Roger 
 H, Wolcott, of Denver, in J 905. 
 
 After leaving the Class he passed through three years of varied experiences, 
 two of them in studying law at Harvard (which gave him the degree of LL,B. in 
 1875) and elsewhere; and then went, in J 871, to Colorado, where for a short time 
 he taught school at Blackhawk, and then opened a law office in Georgetown. While 
 undergoing the young lawyer's common experience of waiting for clients, Wolcott 
 corresponded with newspapers in the state and journals in the East, and was for a 
 short time editor of the Georgetown "Miner." His first marked professional suc- 
 cess was his election to the prosecuting attorneyship of the First Judicial District, in 
 which position he displayed his great ability. In J 878 he was elected to the state 
 Senate, where his oratorical powers came into play and were recognized. From this 
 time Denver was his home. In J 879 he became attorney of the Denver and Rio 
 
 358 
 
EDWARD O. WOLCOTT 
 J870 and J900 
 
Grande Railroad, and in J 884 was elected general counsel of this road's directors, 
 which position he held up to the time of his death. 
 
 In J 872 Wolcott began to be prominent in the political affairs of his adopted 
 state, and in 1889 was elected United States senator, which office he held until 
 I90J, when he resumed the practice of the law with his former partner, Joel F. 
 Vaile. In 1902 Mr. Waterman was admitted to the firm, which was afterwards 
 known by the name of Wolcott, Vaile and Waterman. It was prominently 
 identified with the most important litigation in the state of Colorado. 
 
 In addition to his forensic efforts in Washington, the events in Wolcott's life 
 which gave him a national reputation were his brilliant speech in nominating James 
 G. Blaine for the presidency at the Republican convention in I892j his success 
 as temporary chairman of the National Convention in 1900 j his appointment by 
 President McKinley in 1897 to membership on the Bimetallic Commission; the 
 honor of notifying Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination to the vice-presidency J 
 and his great speech in J 890 before the New England Society of New York, on 
 account of which remarkable effort the rule of the society was broken and he was 
 asked to make a second address. 
 
 After suffering for about two years from poor health, Wolcott, with his brother 
 Henry, went to Italy in the autumn of J 904, in the hope that he might regain his 
 former vigor. Not receiving the desired benefit from the change, he repaired, by 
 advice of his physician, to Monte Carlo, where on March I, J 905, he passed away. 
 Funeral services were held in Paris at the Mortuary Chapel of Pere Lachaise Ceme- 
 tery, in the presence of the American ambassador, his brother, and other friends. 
 His body was subsequently cremated and his ashes were taken to New York, over 
 which funeral services were held in the Brick Presbyterian Church on the 2Jst of 
 March. They were afterwards buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. 
 
 No finer measure of the man seems to have been made than that which 
 appeared in the Denver ** Republican" the day after Wolcott's death. It reads: 
 
 "In the death of former United States Senator Edward Oliver Wolcott, Colorado 
 loses its most distinguished citizen and the nation one of its most noted public men. 
 
 "A great orator, a sound lawmaker, a political leader of rare magnetism and 
 enthusiasm, a masterly lawyer, and always a sterling patriot worthy of his splendid 
 lineage, reaching back to the foundation of our government and beyond seas to its 
 English origin, his memory will be fondly cherished by the people of Colorado long 
 after the dust and din of party strife, in which he won and lost in such heroic fashion 
 during his somewhat stormy political career, shall be forever laid in oblivion. 
 
 "He made mistakes — who does not? — but where shall we seek for another so 
 gifted in so many ways, so wise and witty, so keen in his intuitions of men and 
 things, so capable of going to the very core of any problem, so highly cultured and 
 widely read, so spontaneous, and so full of courageous optimism?

**H& had faults, but, like his vastly outweighing good qualities, they were tem- 
 peramental. As the years passed the philosophic spirit triumphed over the impa- 
 tience and the natural insolence of ardent youth in him, as it does in most strong 
 natures fortunate enough to keep sweet through the successes and failures of life, 
 and we have no doubt that if he had been spared to fill out the normal span of 
 existence his opponents would have been disarmed of their hostility, and he would 
 
 have seen 
 
 *The stubborn thistles bursting into glossy purples 
 Which outredden all voluptuous garden roses/ 
 
 *'The twelve years which he served as Colorado's first favorite in the United 
 States Senate would have been prolonged indefinitely, beyond doubt, if he had gone 
 with his state in the great presidential campaign of J 896. He stood for unflinch- 
 ing loyalty to the Republican party, not because he was hostile to the overwhelming 
 silver sentiment of Colorado, but because he believed that both country and state 
 would fare better in all desirable things under McKinley than under Bryan. 
 
 "That was not politics, but it was magnificent, and countless thousands of 
 Coloradoans who thought otherwise then will now do fuller justice to his wise 
 foresight and his unselfish patriotism. 
 
 "This is neither the time nor the place to do full Justice to the countless 
 admirable qualities of head and heart of this many-sided man, with his vast 
 capacity for the making of warm friends and bitter foes, his undying charm of 
 person and voice and manner and utterance, his dauntless spirit, and his boundless 
 interest in everything that goes to make up the sum of life. 
 
 "His great contemporaries at the bar, in the halls of Congress, and in many 
 other fields of human effort will grieve at his going, and will most fittingly do 
 honor to his memory as a leader among men." 
 
 A measure of a somewhat different character is that of the Denver "Times," 
 of which the following is an extract: 
 
 "Mr. Wolcott was a polished man of the world, but his temperament was that 
 of the Elizabethan captains who sailed into unknown seas in quest of adventure 
 and prepared to meet whatever dangers might confront them. He was daring 
 and aggressive. Not for him could be the quiet life of an office lawyer or a mer- 
 chant. He was a plunger and a speculator in politics as well as in finance. 
 
 "Rare were his gifts as a host and a companion. His conversation, when in the 
 mood, sparkled with wit and fun. Stories and anecdotes innumerable came from 
 his tongue. And his purse was ready to the service of those whom he classed as 
 friends. No other leader in- Colorado ever gathered around him a more loyal and 
 enthusiastic following, and this following, with few exceptions, has remained with 
 him even during late years, when rheumatic troubles inflicted severe physical suffer- 
 ing and lessened his ability to participate actively in the strenuosities of politics." 
 
 360 
 
Justice David J. Brewer said of him: "Mr. Wolcott was a man of eng:aging 
 personality; a lawyer of splendid insight; an orator of convincing power. His suc- 
 cess in life was marked, but was not beyond his deserts. He was absolutely honest 
 in his views, and we have had few public men who were so courageous in express- 
 ing their real convictions. Whether in private or public life, he thought for himself, 
 and he never swerved from a purpose by self-interest or public clamor, I was 
 familiar with his career for twenty years, and I had a sincere admiration and attach- 
 ment for him." 
 
 Of his great oratorical power, so strongly emphasized in the above extracts, the 
 following is a fair specimen: "There is no drop of blood in me that is not of English 
 origin, and I have no ancestor on either side since J 650 who was not bom on the 
 soil of New England; but my heart beats faster when I recall the glorious deeds 
 of Clive and Lawrence and Napier and Wellington, of Drake and Hawkins, who 
 fought the Spaniard and swept the Spanish main, and of the incomparable Nelson; 
 and my pulse qtiickens when I realize that the splendor of their achievements is 
 part of the glorious heritage, and that the language of Burke and of Chatham 
 is our mother tongue." 
 
 Those of his classmates who were at the Yale Commencement Dinner in J 900 
 will never forget Wolcott's tribute to Yale, which he paid when called upon to 
 respond for the Class of Seventy, a part of which was as follows: "In everything 
 that is vital Yale men are at the front. They are not always heralded by clamor 
 and music, and in some instances, at least, the best and worthiest of them are not 
 found in public life. But wherever there is work to do, here or on the Western 
 plains and in the mining camps, they place their standard — 'Not for the gain of the 
 gold, for the getting, the hoarding, the having, but for the joy of the deed, but for 
 the duty to do.* Every year brings new accessions to the ranks, and merges them 
 with the veterans. For there is no younger Yale, as is sometimes said. Our 
 beloved president stands for the best in J 890 as he stood for the best in J 849. Yale 
 gives all her sons eternal youth, and though their forms may grow bent and their 
 hair be tinged with gray, she ever imbues them with progressive thought and noble 
 aspirations, forever young." 
 
 His classmates always followed Wolcott's career with deepest interest, and 
 they are proud to number his honors with those of others of the Class of Seventy 
 who have made their mark upon the history of our times. 
 
 Wolcott was married. May 14, J 890, Jn Buffalo, New York, to Mrs. Frances 
 Metcalfe, widow of Honorable Lyman K. Bass, from whom he was divorced. 
 
 "The Life and Character of Edward Oliver Wolcott," in two volumes, pages 
 702 and 803, by Honorable Thomas Fulton Dawson, was published in 1911 by the 
 Knickerbocker Press, for private circulation.

 trict of Columbia, March 7, 1870. He was the originator of two important measures 
 subsequently brought before Congress; one, a bill claiming half pay for life of Revo- 
 lutionary officers who continued in service to the end of the war; the other, the Livalid 
 Pension Bill, requiring pension from the date of disability. 
 
 On the paternal side our classmate was descended from Jonathan and Delight 
 Woodward, of Plainfield, Connecticut. Jonathan was bom June 4, J 726; Delight, 
 January 15, 1759. Their son, William Woodward, enlisted as drummer boy at 
 fifteen years of age in the Second Canadian Regiment of the American Army in 
 the War of the Revolution. His regiment was known as "The Lost Children." 
 William Woodward served six years and eleven months, and was discharged as 
 sergeant. He was almost immediately appointed captain Sixteenth United States 
 Infantry. William Woodward's discharge from the Continental Army, signed by 
 General George Washington and by General Ha^en, certifying that a badge of merit 
 for six years' faithful service was given Sergeant Woodward, and his commissions 
 bearing the signatures of John Adams and of John Hancock, are still in the pos- 
 session of the family. Captain William Woodward married Lydia Danforth, bom 
 in Weston, Massachusetts, December J 7, J 762; died in Keeseville, New York, June I, 
 J 847. One of their children was J. Douglas Woodward, father of William V. S. 
 Woodward. Among other members of the ancestral stock was William A. Wheeler, 
 Vice-President of the United States under Hayes, son of Eliza Woodward Wheeler, 
 daughter of Captain William Woodward.

WILLIAM V. S. WOODWARD 
 1870 and J890 
 
"Woodward's mother. Helm Piatt, was the daughter of Judge Levi Piatt, and 
 was bom in Plattsburg, New York, August JO, I8I5j educated at the Troy Female 
 Seminary? married in Troy, New York, February 22, J 842, and died in Platts- 
 burg, December J 8, 1847. She was a descendant of Judge Zephaniah Piatt, one 
 of the original proprietors of the town of Plattsburg, In J 776 he was a delegate to the 
 First Provisional Congress and occupied a prominent place in that body. He was a 
 member of the Committee of Safety, and took part in the convention called for form- 
 ing a constitution for the state. 
 
 ,* ^ ^ 
 
 William Van Schoonhoven Woodward resided in Plattsburg until about J 862, 
 when he entered the quartermaster general's office in Washington, District of Colum- 
 bia, where "his methodical habits and splendid clerical ability won him high pro- 
 motion, and before his majority he was placed in charge of a division." He was 
 prepared for college in Plattsburg Academy and by private instruction, and entered 
 Yale in September, J 866. He was a member of Linonia and Gamma Nu. Owing 
 to a fever, he was obliged to leave college in the middle of Sophomore year. He 
 then took up the study of the law in the office of Judge Beckwith, in Plattsburg, 
 and afterwards graduated with honor from the Albany Law School. He was 
 admitted to practice in Albany, New York, by Judge Potter, and spent the remaining 
 years of his life in the practice of his profession. He was three times appointed 
 Assistant United States Attorney: (I) under Honorable Martin L Townsend, about 
 J880-I887J (2) under District Attorney Poucher; and (3) under D. S. Alexander, 
 of Buffalo. Though a strong Republican, he was twice appointed under Presi- 
 dent Cleveland, and was for many years United States Commissioner, a position 
 which he held at the time of his death, in Burlington, Vermont, July 17, I90I. As 
 Assistant United States Attorney he made a most notable record in the matter of 
 drawing indictments which could not be overthrown. 
 
 He was deeply interested in prison reform, and worked with great persistence 
 to the end of securing a separation between old and young criminals. He was 
 spoken of as "a warm-hearted man, a good citizen and kind neighbor, his genial 
 manner winning him many friends." "His special trait was kindness; envy, malice, 
 or uncharitableness never entered his heart. He was gentle and honest to a fault." 
 He was a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 
 
 Woodward was married, September U, J 873, in Watertown, New York, to 
 Miss Charlotte Almira Peck, daughter of Theodore Augustus Peck, druggist and 
 chemist, of Burlington, Vermont, and afterwards of Watertown.

 Since the foregoing records were printed, two of the Class, Edward Chapb and 
 Ira Emory Forbes, both of whom were at our last Reunion, have passed from our 
 sight* 
 
 Edward Chapin's death, September 24, 1911, was occasioned by another attack 
 of sarcoma, the same disease which had previously necessitated the amputation of an 
 arm« 
 
 On the day following his death, addresses of appreciation of the high character 
 and valuable services of Chapin were made by the members of the York County Bar, 
 and the following minute was directed to be entered on the court records: 
 
 "Edward Chapin, a member of this bar since August 26, J872, died September 
 24, J9n. The court and the members of this bar, as a perpetual memorial of their 
 appreciation of Mr. Chapin as a member of this court, pause to note the loss sus- 
 tained by the profession and this community in the death of Mr, Chapin, Always 
 frank, sincere, and cordial in his relations to the court and fellow-members of the 
 bar, able, loyal, and untiring in his clients' cause, he admirably filled the full measure 
 of his obligations as a lawyer and a member of this court. His removal by the hand 
 of death in the vigor of his manhood and in the full fruition of his mental power and 
 usefulness as a lawyer is an irretrievable loss to the court, to the profession, and to 
 the community," 
 
 Those who were at the reunion in I9J0 will recall the courage with which 
 Chapin was facing his late bereavement. The same courage was manifested in the 
 physical suffering which he had to endure on account of the disease which finally 
 ended in his death, Chapin had the sincere respect of the Class, whose every 
 member will sincerely regret that we shall see his face no more, 
 
 Ira Emory Forbes had been suffering for about thirteen years from diabetes. In 
 the autumn of J 9 JO his condition was so serious that it seemed best to have him re- 
 moved to the Soldiers Hospital in Noroton, Connecticut, where he was given the very 
 best of care and where he remained the greater part of the time until his death, 
 November 14, J9I I. He was buried on the J6th in Spring Grove Cemetery, Hartford, 
 
 Forbes was a brave man in battle, and brave in his effort to gain an honorable 
 living in the face of impaired health such as would have discouraged a less valijmt 
 soul. Wherever he was known he was respected, and his classmates had a warm 
 place for him in their hearts, 
 
 Joshua Milton Fiero has announced the marriage of his daughter, Mary Pier- 
 son Fiero, to Mr, Sidney S, Wormser, The event occurred November J8, 1911,
