My Dear Classmates : When the suggestion was first made to me that I should undertake the compilation of our class history, I felt many mis- givings, feeling my inability to accomplish it in as satisfactory a manner as it would have been done by our late beloved class- mate Proctor, who commenced the work more than ten years ago. After due deliberation, realizing the many difficulties in the way of its accomplishment, I consented to carry out your wishes, and now offer you the result of my labors. If you take a tithe of the pleasure in perusing the histories of each other that I have taken in preparing them, I shall feel amply repaid for the time and labor spent. I have endeavored to do full justice to all, and have made the sketches as full as it was possible to do, with the amount of information received. I regret that some are so meagre in detail, but the utmost per- sistence on my part has failed to elicit any further particulars. I wish to express my sincere thanks to you all for valuable assistance rendered. It has been an especial pleasure to me to have greeted in person so many of our class, and to have lived over again, 6 PREFACE. briefly, some of our college days. Ayers, Barrows, Charles, Gage, Gould, Hildreth, Howe, Rowe and Scribner have all spent some time in Chicago during the past year. We have reason to be thankful that, after the lapse of twenty years, so many of our number are still in the land of the living Let us tenderly cherish the memories of those who have been called from earth, and extend our heartfelt sympathies to their bereaved families. Hoping you will take pleasure in reading the record of each others' labors and successes, I am fraternally yours, JOHN C. WEBSTER. Chicago, May i, 1884. <30HN ¥). flLBIN.

He had great influence in the Reform Club, of which organiza- tion he was one of the founders, and in whose prosperity he always felt, and still feels, the deepest interest. It was also mainly through his efforts that the French Protestant church in Lowell was established, and their present comfortable and com- CHARLES D. BARROW'S. 15 modious building erected.

He is the Director of the Choral Society of San Francisco, which society gave a very suc- cessful and gratifying rendition of the Oratorio of the Redemp- tion on the evening of May 8, 1883.

The report of that meeting has the following: "After his eloquent address, no one was more welcome to the platform than he.

He then went home to his mother, at Townsend, Massachusetts, and remained there, gradually fail- ing in health, until he died of consumption, December 28, 1864. It was a great struggle for him to give up life, wishing very much to live and carry on a work which he felt he had hardly begun. During the last few weeks of his sickness, when he became aware that no human skill could save him, he became recon- ciled, and died very happy. He was never married. gIohn Y). Bei^y.

He then received a call to become Principal of the Caledonia County Academy, at Peacham, Vermont ; and considering it quite a loud call pecuniarily, he accepted the position, and has continued to occupy the situation until the present time. He says he has a good school, in a pleasant community, and is happy and contented. In the Summer of 1882, he took a trip West as far as Chicago, Illinois, and frankly confesses that he likes the W^est, and really would offer no serious objections to locate there. He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. He has been Superintendent of Schools in the town of Peacham for the past fourteen years, which is the only public office he has held, with the single exception noted below; though he wonders very 24 CHARLES A. BUNKER. much that his merits and capabilities in the direction of office- holding have been so long overlooked by his fellow-citizens. At the annual meeting of the Vermont State Teachers' Asso- ciation, held at Montpelier, Vermont, October 24-27, 1883, he was elected President for the ensuing year. In his political views, he has always been faithless to the Democratic party. « He was married May 20, 1869, to Miss Nellie S. Blake, daughter of Dr. Jeremiah Blake, of Gilmanton Iron Works, New Hampshire. This union has not been blessed with children, which is a cause of deep regret to the would-be parents, as' they have pecu- liar ideas and theories in regard to the best way of rearing off- spring, which would undoubtedly be of inestimable value to their fellow-men.

Gdgei^ly. - DAVID MARKS EDGERLY, son of David Leighton and Olive (Place) Edgerly, was born August n, 1839, at New Durham, New Hampshire. He fitted at New Hampton, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. After receiving the final honors, he went at once to West- boro', Massachusetts, where he obtained a situation as teacher in the State Reform School. He considered his initiation into the duties of that institution as rather severe, as one of his first experiences was to have a slate, minus the frame, hurled playfully at his head by one of the boys, who has since committed murder. He became master of the situation, however, and thenceforward only encountered the annoyances incident to such an institution. During his leisure hours here, he commenced the study of medicine. In October, 1865, he went to New York, and attended his first course of lectures at the University Medical College. At the end of the course, in February, 1866, he went to Farmington, New Hampshire, and took charge of the High School there for six months. During this period, he continued to read medicine in the office of N. A. Hersom, M.D. At the commencement of the next Winter term, in October, 1866, he returned to New York to resume his studies. In March, 1867, he received his diploma affirming the fact that he was duly qualified to practise medicine and "deal in die stuffs." He 38 DAVID M. EDGERLY. remained in New York for two months, attending clinics at the various hospitals. About the first of June, 1867, he opened an office for the practice of his profession at Ballardvale, a manu- facturing village in the town of Andover, Massachusetts. He remained there until he saw a desirable opening at West Newton, Massachusetts, to which place he removed in September, 1868. He continued in practice here until October, 1874, when he removed to Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, where he has con- tinued in the practice of his profession up to the present time, with good success; even being successful as the defendant in a suit for malpractice, which, after two years' litigation, has been recently decided in his favor. He was Secretary of his district Medical Society for four years, and is now one of the Board of Censors. In the Fall of 1875, he na d a severe attack of sickness, supposed to be consumption, which kept him from work for five months. Since recovering from that, he has enjoyed much better health than for ten years preceding. His religious preferences may be inferred when it is stated that he is a deacon in the Prospect-street Congregational Church. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married June 30, 1868, to Miss Caroline L. Cooper, of Andover, Massachusetts. They have four children : Alfred Hastings, born November 21. 1871 ; E. Cleveland, born August 23, 1874; Marian Cooper, born November 26, 1877; Caroline Marcia, born August 15, 1882. Daniel (X). Guu iom. DANIEL MITCHEL ELLIOT, son of Dr. Jacob Gault and Betsey Tyler (Moore) Elliot, was born October 7, 1842, at Littleton, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory training at Pembroke Academy, Pembroke, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. He completed the full course; and after graduating, he received a position as clerk in the office of the Central Vermont Railroad, at St. Albans, Vermont, which he held from September 5, 1864, to May 13, 1865. He then devoted himself to teaching for a few years, his first location being at Castine, Maine, where he was Principal of the High School from May 22, 1865, until March 2, 1866. He then taught the Academy at Mclndoes Falls, Vermont, until the Fall of 1868. He then decided to study medicine, and went to Pem- broke, New Hampshire, as a pupil of Dr. B. H. Phillips, and afterward to Manchester, New Hampshire, under the in- struction of Drs. W. D. Buck & L. B. How. He attended one course of lectures at Dartmouth Medical College, and one at Harvard Medical School, where he graduated in June, 1869. He commenced practice immediately at Littleton, Massachusetts, and remained there until April, 1871, when he removed to Harrisville, New Hampshire, and practiced for one year. In May, 1872, he moved to Yarmouth, Maine, giving up medicine 40 DANIEL M. ELLIOT. temporarily, and took charge of the Academy at that place as Principal, remaining there only until October, 1872. At this time, he went to South Deerfield, Massachusetts, and resumed the practice of medicine, continuing there until the Spring of 1877, when he removed to Peabody, Massachusetts, where he remained with increasing success in his chosen pro- fession until his death. He received the degree of Master of Arts in course, from Dartmouth. He was a member of the Peabody Board of Health ; also a prominent Odd-Fellow, and was iden- tified with several other secret societies. In July, 1882, he had become worn out with hard work, and having more care than usual, he .gave up, one afternoon, to rest a little while, saying he was not sick, but only tired. It proved to be the beginning of an attack of inflammation of the meninges of the brain, which steadily progressed to a fatal ter- mination. He was able to speak to his wife a little at times, though it was extremely painful for him to do so. His chief anxiety seemed to be for his wife, and two nieces, whom they had adopted. His death occurred on July 26, 1882, at Pea- body, Massachusetts. His funeral was attended in the old South Church, the Odd-Fellows of the town having charge of the remains, and attending them to the depot in a body, while four of their number were sent to Littleton, Massachusetts, where the body was interred. • The expressions of sympathy which were uttered, the reminiscences of his uniform kindness to those in distress or suffering, his charity to those in need, and his unswerving purpose to do the right, were frequent, and showed that he had endeared himself wonderfully to the hearts of his fellow citizens. A newspaper published in the town of Peabody concludes a notice of him thus: "Fortunate, indeed, will be our town, if, in all the duties which he has been called DANIEL M. ELLIOT. ±\ upon to perform, shall be found one upon whom his mantle is worthy to fall." He was a member of the Congregational church. He always took an active interest in politics, though never desiring office. He was a strong Republican. He was married September 22, 1870, to Miss Sarah A. Childs, of Mclndoes Falls, Vermont, who survives him. They had no children. (3ohn U. Roster. JOHN LUTHER FOSTER, son of George and Phila (Hoskins) Foster, was born September 15, 1837, at Lyman, New Hampshire.

He was ad- mitted to the bar of New Hampshire in September, 1867, at Nashua, New Hampshire. In October, 1868, he was admitted to practice in the United States District Court at Manchester, New Hampshire.

Charles Rand, which existed until the death of Mr. Rand, in August, 1874, after which he continued alone in practice. In the Spring of 1875, ne was chosen Justice of the Police Court at Littleton, and held that position until January, 1877, when he removed to Lisbon, New Hampshire, where he has continued in the practice of law up to the present time. He gives his religious preferences as Orthodox ; in politics, he is a Republican. He was married January 14, 1875, to Miss Augusta L. Stevens, of Haverhill, New Hampshire. They have had four children : Grove H., born October 21, 1875; Helen P., born April 11, 1877; Johnnie L., born September 5, 1878 ; Ray Stevens, born October 5, 1880.

In August, 1865, he went West, and taught school for four months near Rock Island, Illinois. In the Spring of 1866, he started West on the Union Pacific Railroad, which was then being built, and stopped at its terminus, which was at that time Columbus, Nebraska. In August, 1866, he went to Moline, Illinois, and opened an office for the practice of law, but after waiting a few months for business, decided to resume teaching, and took charge of a school at Port Byron, nine miles above Moline, on the Mississippi River. In March, 1867, he entered into a law partnership with C. G. Richardson, a former classmate of' his at Waterville College, at St. Louis, Missouri.

He commenced his classical educa- tion at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and entered college in the Fall of 1859, as a member of the class of '63. On account of ill health, he was obliged to leave in the Spring of i860, and spent a year in recuperating. He entered our class in the Spring of 1861. Immediately after graduating, he became Principal of Fre- donia Academy, Fredonia, New York, which position he occupied until March, 1867, when he decided to study for the ministry. He then went. to Andover, Massachusetts, and entered the Junior class of the Theological Seminary, where he remained until August, 1868, with the exception of a few weeks in the Spring of that year, when he taught in the Department of Natural Sciences at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire. He then went to Union Theological Seminary, New York City, where he graduated in May, 1869. For two months he taught at St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He was licensed to preach in Feb- ruary, 1869, by the New York Third Presbytery, and in October, 1869, began his ministerial work as Pastor of the Congregational Church, at Peshtigo, Wisconsin. He was ordained at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, in January, 1870, continuing his charge at Pesh- tigo until February, 187 1. He then accepted a call to become HOMER T. FULLER. 47 Principal of the Academy at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, where he remained until August, 1882. In 1879, after eight years' work at the Academy, during which time the number of pupils was quad- rupled, and there were sent many of the best fitted students Old Dartmouth has had in late years, he was granted a year's leave of absence to go abroad. During that time he visited the Eng- lish great schools and universities; also the common, higher, normal and classical schools and universities of Germany. He visited Italy, Greece, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, the Troad and Con- stantinople. He also spent some time in France, Holland, Swit- zerland, Scotland and Ireland, having the company of Frary and True, of the class of '66, for much of the Eastern trip. In August, 1882, he received a call to become Principal of the Worcester Free Institute, at Worcester, Massachusetts, which he decided to accept chiefly because he felt the necessity of a change of climate. Upon his leaving St. Johnsbury, the follow- ing action was taken, which indicates the esteem in which he was held : St. Johnsbury, Vt., August 14, 1882. By Trustees of St. Johnsbury Academy, Resolved, That we put on record our appreciation of the great work accomplished by Mr. Fuller in organizing and systematizing the school, establishing its character and reputation, and securing its permanent usefulness ; also our sense of the heavy loss sustained by ourselves and our community in his removal from us.

After his acceptance of the Principalship of the Worcester Free Institute, he had five months' leave of absence to visit Technical Schools. During this trip he saw the best Technical Schools of England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Russia and Austria. He says he has no further desire to travel, but prefers the quiet of home, the luxury of study, and the so- ciety of friends. He delivered his inaugural address as Principal, June 28, 1 883, and occupies that position at the present time. He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. While he was abroad in 1880, he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from Dartmouth, without ever knowing how it came about. He was the State Editor for Vermont of the New England Journal of Education. In 1878 he was Vice-President of the American Institute of Instruction; President of Vermont State Teachers' Association, and Normal School Examiner for Vermont.

Gage. 7TVILLIAM TENNEY GAGE, son of William and Eleanor \XJ (Kimball) Gage, was born March 16, 1843, at Le Roy, Genesee County, New York. He pursued his preparatory studies at the High School in Concord, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of the Spring term in March, 1 86 1. In June, 1862, he became a member of the College Cavaliers, and served in Company B, Seventh Squadron, Rhode Island Cavalry. After a four months' campaign in Virginia, he returned to college and completed the course. Very soon after graduating, in the Fall of 1864, he took charge of a graded school at Anamosa, Iowa, where he remained for nearly two years. In 1866 he went to Highland, Kansas, to take charge of Highland University, as it was then called, though it was in reality a very undeveloped University. He remained there for seven years, and succeeded in building it up to the grade of its pretensions, with a full College Faculty and regular course of study, with a successful financial manage- ment, and good prospects for the future. The University is under strict Presbyterian management. In 1873 ne resigned his position there and accepted a call to occupy the chair of Professor of English Literature and History in the University of Kansas, which was situated at Lawrence, Kansas. He remained there for two years, when the more promising financial prospects of an offer to assume charge .50 WILLIAM T. GAGE. of the Hartford Female Seminary at Hartford, Connecticut, induced him to resign his position at Lawrence. This change occurred in 1875. He continued in charge of the Seminary until March, 1883, with flattering success. Having been desirous of making a change in his business, he went to Chicago, Illinois, in the Summer of 1882, spending his vacation during July and August as a solicitor of life insurance. He seemed especially fitted for this work, and was remarkably successful; so much so, that in March, 1883, he was appointed the General Agent of the .^Etna Life Insurance Com- pany, of Hartford, Connecticut, for the State of Michigan, with headquarters at Detroit, Michigan. He left the Seminary tem- porarily in charge of his wife, but during the past Winter he has disposed of his interest there, and at present resides with his family in Detroit, Michigan. He writes that business is good, and that he is winning his way. He also says: "if I continue in the business of life insurance, I shall be as ready to write up the class in my line as cheerfully as ' Web ' will write us all up historically." He has been a member of a Presby- terian and is now a member of a Congregational church. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married January 9, 1868, to Miss Elizabeth God- win, of Gloversville, New York. They have had three children : Elizabeth Helena, born June 18, 1869; William Henry, born October 24, 1872, and Alexander Kimball, born May 17, 1874. Elizabeth Helena died March 22, 1884, at Hartford, Con- necticut. The Religious Herald, of Hartford, thus speaks of her: "We cannot refrain from giving expression to what may be called the public grief over the loss of one of the brightest, sweetest and most gifted girls whom death has claimed for a WILLIAM T. GAGE. 51 long lime within the range of our acquaintance. Bessie Gage, the only daughter of Prof. W. T. Gage, recently the Principal of the Hartford Female Seminary, was snatched away within a week by fever. * * * There was so much blasted hope and blighted promise in her loss, that we can hardly give utterance to the depth of sorrow, not only in the hearts of the family, but of a very large circle of friends. Bessie was uncommonly beau- tiful, and in the graces of womanhood she was hardly surpassed by any. Radiant, exuberant, swiftly apprehensive of study, of a rare musical aptitude, bright in all social intercourse, she filled the horizon of observation in every circle in which she was present, and fascinated every eye. She was, of course, the dar- ling of her home, and the hopes of a brilliant and beneficent career are dashed in a moment." I know that every member of '64 will sincerely sympathize with our classmate in this his deep affection. (John <5. Gibson. JOHN TYLER GIBSON, son of Appleton and Lydia (Stone) Gibson, was born August 31, 1841, at Hopkinton, Massa- chusetts.

Superintendent of Schools, where he remained only until July, 1870, when a consideration of salary induced him to return to Exeter, New Hampshire, and resume his position as Principal of the High School, which he occupied until March, 1872. From that date until July, 1872, he was the Sub-Master of the Winthrop School in Charlestown; Massachusetts.

In June, 1862, he enlisted as a private in Company B, Seventh Squadron, Rhode Island Cavalry, and served four months in Virginia. Returning in the Fall of 1862, he completed the course. Immediately after graduating, he went to Palmyra, Wiscon- sin, where he taught school until June, 1865, at which time he removed to Waukegan, Illinois, where he taught for one year. In the Fall of 1866, having decided to study for the ministry, he entered the Chicago Theological Seminary, where he remained for one year. He then went to the Andover Theo- logical Seminary, where he continued his studies until he graduated in July, 1869. In November, 1869, he sailed for Japan, as a missionary under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. He was the first missionary of the American Board to Japan. He arrived at Tokio, in December, 1869, and remained there until March, 1870, when he went to Kobe, where he resided and labored DANIEL C. GREENE. 57 until May, 1874. The first church was organized at Kobe on April 19, 1874, with eleven members. In 1882 there were nineteen churches with one thousand members. From Tune, 1874, until May, 1880, he resided in Yokohama, as a member of the committee for the translation of the New Testament into the Japanese language. After superintending the printing of this version, which was published in June, 1880, he returned to the United States, where he spent about eighteen months, traveling through different parts of the country, and preaching in the interests of the American Board. He returned to Japan in November, 1881, and has been stationed since that time in Kioto, as an instructor in the Doshisha English School, his principal work being in the Theological Department. In addition to the Japanese version above alluded to, he also edited an edition of the Chinese New Testament, for the use of Japanese readers. He received the degree of Master of Arts from Dartmouth in course, and also the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Rutger's College in 1879. In politics, he is an independent republican. He was married July 29, 1869, to Miss Mary Jane Forbes, of Westborough, Massachusetts. They have seven children : Evarts Boutell, born July 8, 1870; Fannie Bradley, born August 29, 1871 ; Daniel Crosby, born January 29, 1873; Jerome Davis, born October 12, 1874; Mary Avery, born February 20, 1877; Roger Sherman, born May 29, 1881, and Elisabeth Grosvenor, born October 20, 1882. HATHANiBii U. Sanson. nATHANIEL LUTHER HANSON, son of Nathaniel and Margaret (Evans) Hanson, was born December 2, 1837, at Barnstead, New Hampshire. He received his preparatory- training at the Academy in New Hampton, New Hampshire, and entered Dartmouth College at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he accepted the position of Principal of the Grammar School at Troy, Ohio, where he remained one year. In the Fall of 1865, he received an appointment to the Superintendency of the Public Schools of Sidney, Ohio, which position he occupied for three years. In the Fall of 1868, he accepted an invitation to become Prin- cipal of one of the Ward Schools at Columbus, Ohio ; but in December of the same year, he resigned the position and accepted a similar one at Dayton, Ohio, the call being con- siderably louder financially. He remained here for three years. In the Summer of 1871, being tired of teaching, and with not the best of health, he was glad of the opportunity for a change, and accepted an invitation to assume the management of the Bank located at Perrysburg, Ohio. The panic of 1873 brought the proprietors of this bank into embarrassing straits, and their failure in 1877 caused them to retire from the banking business, to which he succeeded, and he has since that time conducted the business of the Citizens' NATHANIEL L. HANSON. 59 Bank on his own account, with both pleasure and profit. At the time of the failure in 1877, he suffered some in purse and feeling, but subsequent experiences have made good any loss ^ therefrom, and contain prophecy of greater benefits to follow. He has built for himself a very comfortable home at Perrysburg, and knows Of no reason why he will not spend the remainder of his days there. As is fitting for our "monitor," he has evidently devoted himself to making his own mark in the world. He is a member of the Presbyterian church. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married December 18, 1868, to Miss Lida McCul- lough Murray, of Sidney, Ohio. They have had six children : George Murray, born November 9, 1869 ; Myra Hamilton, born October 1, 1871 ; Bessie Murray, born March 10, 1874; Fred. Green, born February 8, 1876; Raymond Evans, born June 3, 1877, and Luther Nelson, born January 24, 1882. Fred. Green died July 29, 1876. His eldest son, George Murray, is now studying in New Hampshire to prepare himself to enter Dartmouth College in 1885. UJ &5lIiIiIAM R F)AI^YEY. 'ILLIAM FRANCIS HARVEY, son of William and Amelia (Bliss) Harvey, was born October 10, 1838, at Royalton, Vermont. He received his preparatory education in the schools of his native town, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, in the Fall of 1864, he began teaching school at South Royalton, Vermont, where he re- mained until March, ' 1865, when he received and accepted an appointment in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, Washington, D. C. While thus engaged, he commenced the study of medicine under the instruction of J. H. Baxter, M.D., Chief Medical Purveyor, U. S. A. He attended lectures and graduated at Georgetown Medical College in 1868, and imme- diately commenced the practice of his profession at Washing- ton, D. C. In the Fall and Winter of 1869-70, he attended lectures and clinics at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and also at Bellevue Medical College, New York City. In April, 1873, he was appointed a clerk in the office of the Director of the Mint, at Washington, D. C, which position he has held continuously until the present time. He continued to practice medicine, mostly out of his office-hours at the Treasury and the Mint, until the Winter of 1877, when he was obliged to relinquish a growing and lucrative practice on account of ill health. He continued his duties, however, in the Mint until WILLIAM F. HARVEY. 61 October 10, 1882, when he returned to his old home at Royal- ton, Vermont, for a season of rest and recuperation. At last accounts he was gaining in strength, and expects to return to Washington, D. C, as soon as his health will permit. He is a Congregationalist in his religious views. In politics, he is a Republican. He has never married. 50HN U. Y^ILD^BJPH. JOHN LEWIS HILDRETH, son of John Caldwell and Harriet Maria (Blanchard) Hildreth, was born November 29, 1838, at Chelmsford, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory train- ing at Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. He left us at the close of Sophomore year, but in 1879 ne returned to Hanover, and received his degree of Bachelor of Arts, as a member of the class of '64. He also received the degree of Master of Arts. After leaving college, in the Summer of 1862, he made a sea-voyage of two months for the benefit of his health. Upon his return, he went to Washington, D.C., with the expectation of entering the Service as Hospital Steward ; but being disappointed in that, he made application for a position in the United States Sanitary Commission, which he secured about eighteen months after reaching Washington. He was sent with General Banks on the Red River Campaign, and thence to New Orleans, Louisiana, to inspect the camps and hospitals in that Department, which service he performed until November, 1864, when he was taken with a severe attack of diphtheria. His recovery was only partial, and he was sent home on a fur- lough, and finally left the Service in the Spring of 1865. He then went to Peterborough, New Hampshire, and became Prin- cipal of the Academy there, and at the same time pursued the JOHN L. HILDRETH. (53 study of medicine. He went to Hanover, New Hampshire, in the Summer of 1867, and attended his final course of lectures at Dartmouth Medical College, receiving his degree of Doctor of Medicine in the Fall of that year. He began the practice of his profession immediately, at West Townsend, Massachusetts, where he remained until 1870, when he removed to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he has continued in practice up to the present time, doing a very large and lucrative business. In June, 1878, he took a trip to Europe, being absent about five months, during which time he visited England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Holland, France, Switzerland and Italy. In the Summer of 1883, he made a visit to Dakota, and made some pecuniary investments. He is President of the Dakota Mortgage Loan Corporation, of Milnor, Dakota, the Eastern office of which is at 296 Washington street, Boston, Massachu- setts. He was married March 4, 1864, to Miss Achsah B. Colloi, of Temple, New Hampshire. They have three children : John Lewis, born in August, 1870; Beulah G., born in June, 1873, and Alfred H., born in September, 1874. I. Goodwin P)obbs. ICHABOD GOODWIN HOBBS, son of William and Sarah Elliott (Goodwin) Hobbs, was born March 13, 1843, at North Berwick, Maine. He began his preparatory studies at the Academy in South Berwick, Maine, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, in August, 1864, he entered the United States Navy, as Acting Assistant Paymaster. He was attached to the U. S. steamer Unadilla, and participated in both engagements at Fort Fisher, and later in the James River, at the fall of Richmond, Virginia. He was commissioned Assistant Paymaster in the Regular Service in February, 1867, and pro- moted to Passed Assistant Paymaster in September, 1868. For over three years he served in the home squadron on board the steamers Ascnt?iey and Tallapoosa. During the years 187 1-2, he was on duty in the Navy Department at Washington, D. C. In June, 1872, he sailed from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on the U. S. steamer Tuscarora, for the Pacific Ocean, and returned home on the completion of the cruise, in September, 1875. Some very important work was done during that time. Two lines of deep-sea soundings were completed across the Pacific ; one from San Diego, California, to Yokohama, Japan, touching at Honolulu and the Bonin Islands, and on the return from Japan by the northern route, touching at the islands of Tanaga and Ounalaska, in the Aleutian group, and thence to Cape /. GOODWIN HO BBS. 65 Flattery. Soundings were also made off and on the coast from Cape Flattery to San Diego, California, to determine the true continental outline, and also an additional line from San Fran- cisco, California, to Honolulu. Nineteen thousand miles of deep-sea soundings were completed, and the deepest water ever recorded was accurately sounded, namely, five and one-quarter statute mi/es. On returning from this cruise, he was attached to the U. S. steamer Despatch, and cruised in the Mediterranean Sea, and was afterward stationed at Constantinople, near the close of the Turko-Russian war. Here he had the pleasure of lunching with the gallant General Skobeleff. While stationed here, he em- braced the opportunity for a trip to the Holy Land. After an absence of over three years, he was detached from the Despatch and came home, visiting Paris during the Exposition, and also London, on the way. After "waiting orders" for a short time, he was ordered to the Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode Island, where he remained until September, 1882. In 1879 ne was promoted to full Paymaster, which position he holds at present. He was next ordered to the U. S. Steamer Juniata, and sailed from New York City November 28, 1882. I have received from him two long letters, giving very full and interesting accounts of his present cruise. Space will only allow of a brief abstract. He stopped first at Fayal for several weeks, thence to Gibraltar, Malta, Alexandria and Cairo, in Egypt ; through the Suez Canal, calling at Muscat, thence up the Persian Gulf, and to Bussorah, a place eighty miles up the Euphrates River. From there he went to Bombay, Colombo, Madras, Calcutta, Rangoon and Singapore, arriving there just after the disastrous earthquake in the Strait of Sunda. There they received orders from our 5 66 /• GOODWIN HO BBS. Government by cable to proceed to the Strait, and ascertain the dangers to navigation, and warn vessels. They surveyed the situation and found scenes of desolation and destruction. Aujer Point, a week before, had been a town of twelve thousand inhab- itants, but now not a soul was left to tell the tale. It was an important place of call for all deep-water ships from Europe or America to China, for fresh water and provisions. It contained many large buildings, a telegraph station for cables, and an important lighthouse. After the eruption of Krakatoa, there came a tidal wave, forty feet high, which swept over the point, carrying everything down, not a tree or building being left standing. They anchored for two nights immediately under the island of Krakatoa, the cause of all this disaster. This island was 2,600 feet high, and it was split in two perpendicularly from the crater by the earthquake, one half disappearing in the sea, leaving a perpendicular wall 2,600 feet high on one side. It was still smoking when he was there, and he said it made him feel as though his little boy wanted to see him ! From there he went to Batavia, where they received orders to go to Hong Kong, China. On the voyage, they experienced a severe typhoon, which blew one of the ship's boats from the davits; but they weathered it safely, and arrived at Kong Kong October 2, 1883. Here they received orders to proceed imme- diately to Canton, China, to look after American interests. He writes me from Canton, under date of December 9, 1883, giving a full description of the place, and the warlike preparations being made by the Chinese. His future course will be to Nagasaki, Shanghai, Korea and Yokohama ; thence to Australia, the islands of the Pacific, San Francisco and home, expecting to arrive in the Fall of 1885. /. GOODWIN HOBBS. 67 He writes that they have everywhere been the recipients of the most bountiful hospitality. In his religious views, he is an Episcopalian. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married June 28, 1882, to Miss Maud Hazard, of Newport, Rhode Island. They have one child, Goodwin, born June 1, 1883. €lias &X Iqowe. GLIAS WILKINS HOWE, son of Frederick and Mary (Wil- kins) Howe, was born September 21, 1842, at Danvers, Massachusetts. He commenced his classical studies at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, in August, 1864, he went on a visit to Providence, Rhode Island, and was there suddenly inspired with a patriotic ardor to serve his country. He accordingly went to Boston, Massachusetts, and, after a satisfactory examination, was accepted as a member of Company E, First Battalion, Heavy Ar- tillery, Massachusetts Volunteers. He was sent with the company to Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, where the battalion was stationed on garrison duty for the whole period of his enlistment. This was a source of deep regret to him, and served to somewhat cool his military ardor, for he had firmly expected, upon enlistment, that the battalion would be sent to the front upon active service. He was almost immediately promoted to be Quartermaster Ser- geant of his company, which position he filled with great credit until the expiration of his term of service. He was honorably discharged at Fort Warren on July 3, 1865. After spending a few. months at his home in Danvers, he went to Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he taught school until Janu- ary, 1866, when he went to Bridgeport, Connecticut, as book- keeper for the Howe Sewing Machine Company, which situation ELIAS W. HOWE. 09 he occupied until April, 1868. In June, 1868, he went West on a prospecting tour as far as Ohio; and having received an advan- tageous offer to become the Superintendent of Union Schools at Dresden, Ohio, he removed to that place, and assumed his duties there in September, 1868. He remained there until the Summer of 1 87 1, when, being grievously afflicted with the ague, he was obliged to make a change and return to the East. In Septem- ber, 187 1, he accepted a call to become Principal of the Graded School at North Bennington, Vermont, a position which he has ably and satisfactorily filled up to the present time. He has the reputation of being one of the very best of teachers. He has made several pleasure trips to the West as far as Chi- cago, where he was the guest of the writer of this history. Many happy hours were spent in living over again our college days, to our mutual enjoyment and satisfaction. His religious preference is for the Congregational church. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married December 15, 1871, to Miss Grace D. Sar- gent, of Gloucester, Massachusetts. They have one child, May W t ebster, born September 22, 1872. Gdwai^d R Johnson. GDWARD FRANCIS JOHNSON, son of Noah and Letitia Margaret (Claggett) Johnson, was born October 21, 1842, at Hollis, New Hampshire. He received his preparatory educa- tion at Nashua, New Hampshire, and entered college at the be- ginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduation, he went to Hollis, New Hampshire, where he taught school until the Winter of 1864, at which time he entered the office of William Barrett, Esq., of Nashua, New Hampshire, and commenced the study of law. He was a student at Harvard Law School from September, 1865, until June, 1866, at which date he was admitted to the bar of Suffolk County, at Boston, Massachusetts. He then re- turned to the office of William Barrett, Esq., at Nashua, New Hampshire, and remained there until October, 1866, when he formed a copartnership with James T. Joslyn, Esq., and prac- tised his profession at Hudson, Massachusetts, until April, 1867, when they opened another office at Marlborough, Massachusetts, where he has since resided. He has a constantly growing practice in a town which has doubled its population since he has been there. In June, 1882, he was commissioned as Judge of the Police Court in Marlborough, which office he still holds. He has an office at 28 State street, Boston, Massachusetts, where he attends to legal business from nine o'clock in the morning until two o'clock in the afternoon, returning to Marl- borough after that hour and holding court daily. EDWARD F. JOHNSON. 71 He is a Director of the First National Bank of Marlborough. He has been a member of the Middlesex County Republican Committee, and also its Treasurer ; and he is at present a member of the Republican Congressional Committee of his district. He has always taken an active interest in political matters, but has never been a candidate for any office. His political preferences are indicated by the positions he holds. His religious preference is for the Congregational church. He was married June i, 1870, to Miss Arabella Gertrude Carleton, of Lynn, Massachusetts. They have had four chil- dren : Mabel, born August 2, 187 1 ; Letitia, born October 21, 1872 ; Lizzie, born June 6, 1874, and Grace, born November Letitia died May 19, 1874. F)05EA I^INGMAN. T^OSEA KINGMAN, son of Philip D. and Betsey B. (Wash- Ay burne) Kingman, was born April n, 1843, at Bridgewater, Massachusetts. He began his classical studies at Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Sophomore year, in the Fall of 1861. During Junior year, he enlisted in the army and served for one year, when he returned to our class and completed the regular course. Immediately after graduating, he entered the office of William Latham, Esq., in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and commenced the study of law. He continued his studies there until June 21, 1866, when he was admitted to the bar of Plymouth county, Massachusetts. He immediately entered upon the prac- tice of his profession in company with William Latham, Esq., at Bridgewater, Massachusetts. This copartnership continued until October, 1873, at which time Mr. Latham retired from practice, and he has continued alone up to the present time. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace November 8, 1865. He was also appointed a Captain in the State Militia in 1866, and held that position for one year. He has been a Notary Public since November 15, 1873; Commissioner of Insolvency since November 23, 1877; Special Justice of the First District Court of Plymouth County since November 12, 1878, and City Solicitor of the city of Brockton, Massachusetts, since March 5, 1883. HO SEA KINGMAN. 73 All of these official positions he continues to hold at the present time, with the single exception of Captain of Militia, and, taken in connection with his regular legal practice, they keep him crowded full of work all the time. His religious preferences are Unitarian. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married June 21, 1866, to Miss Carrie Cole, of North Carver, Massachusetts. They have one child, Agnes Cole, born October 28, 1867. GUGBNB LffiWIS. eUGENE LEWIS, son of George Gilbert and Adeline (Laba- ree) Lewis, was born March n, 1839, at Claremont, New. Hampshire. He received his preparatory training at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. After graduating, he went to Palmyra, Wisconsin, in August, 1864, and accepted the position of Superintendent of Schools. On November 8, 1864, he had a severe hemorrhage of the lungs, which compelled him to give up his position. He re- turned to Claremont, New Hampshire, and as soon as his health was sufficiently restored, continued the study of law, which he had begun previously, in the office of Hon. H. W. Parker. He was admitted to the bar of Sullivan County, New Hampshire, in January, 1866. He commenced the practice of his profession at Peterborough, New Hampshire, in May, 1866, and remained there until June, 1869. In July, 1869, he went to Moline, Illinois, and established himself in legal practice, continuing there until the present time. He was the City Attorney of Moline for two terms. The State of Illinois is indebted to him for the bill allowing cities and towns to establish Free Public Libraries, and mainly by his efforts also, the Public Library of Moline was opened. In the Century magazine for January, 1884, he has pub- lished an open letter on "Our Jury System," which was called EUGENE LEWIS. 75 forth by some previous articles on the subject in the same maga- zine, in which he takes the ground that our present system is not a failure. He considers the subject under three heads ; first, its direct effect upon the administration of justice ; second, its ultimate effect upon the constitution and character of the new tribunal; and third, its effect upon public opinion regard- ing the administration of justice. His religious preference is Unitarian. In politics, he is a Democrat. He was married June 4, 1873, t0 Miss Susan P. Smith, of Peterborough, New Hampshire. She was a niece of the late Professor Albert Smith, of Dartmouth Medical College. They had one child : Theodore Greene, born July 3, 1876. Mrs. Lewis died September 26, 1877, aged thirty-three years. On the day of the funeral, the Court adjourned for the day in her honor, and the Judge and members of the bar generally attended the obsequies. Theodore Greene died April 13, 1877. He was married, second, October 27, 1881, to Miss Caroline Lee, of Davenport, Iowa. They have no children. 7TVARREN McCLINTOCK, son of Luke and Nancy Bradford \AJ (Gould) McClintock, was born October 4, 1837, at Hills- borough, New Hampshire. He prepared himself for college at Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and entered Dartmouth on August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he went to Waynesville, Ohio, and took charge of the Public Schools, a position which he filled with great credit for two years. In 1866 he accepted a call to take charge of the High School at Covington, Kentucky ; but not enjoying the climate of that state, he resigned his position after one year. He was then offered the position of Superintendent of Public Schools of Lon- don, Ohio, which he accepted in the Fall of 1867, and filled the place with great satisfaction until the time of his death. In the Summer of 1870, while traveling in the East, he had an attack of pneumonia, from which he never fully recovered. Lung troubles were hereditary in his family. In 1871 he went to Wisconsin, hoping that a change of climate would benefit him; and after spending three months there, he returned to London, feeling much better. In the Summer of 1871, his brother James, who had just graduated from Dartmouth, came to his house a consumptive, on his way to Colorado; but not being able to travel further, he remained at Warren's house until he died, which was November 11, 187 1. WARREN McCLINTOCK, 77 The care and anxiety for his brother was too much for one in his condition, and probably did much toward shortening his life. He was able to be out until a week before, his death, and was only confined to his bed for two days. He sank rapidly, and passed away on February 29, 1872, at London, Ohio, where he was buried temporarily. In 1876 his remains were removed to Hillsboro, New Hampshire, for final interment: "Among familiar names to rest, And in the places of his youth." He was married December 24, 1868, at Columbus, Ohio, to Miss Augusta Balthis, of London, Ohio, who survives him. It is certainly most appropriate to add the following tribute to the memory of our beloved classmate, from the pen of his most intimate friend, our classmate Hanson : By his death, the class of '64 sustains an irreparable loss of one whose promise of usefulness to the world was well attested by his noble qualities of mind and heart; the record of whose career was destined to supply an hon- ored page in the annals of our Alma Mater. Perhaps no one cherished class tra- ditions more than he, realizing that upon the character and achievements of its individual members rested its honor. There is, indeed, no association of our class that does not "breathe gracious memories" of our beloved friend. No worthy tribute can be paid to a life so brief, that does not suggest what he was, rather than what he did. His parents lived upon a farm, where the meagre advantages of a country school for a few months of each year afforded little opportunity to gratify his growing thirst for knowledge ; but even here he qualified himself for teaching at the early age of sixteen. His ambition to obtain a collegiate education was not approved, and hence he was obliged to rely mainly upon his own resources, thus acquiring frugal and industrious ■ habits, and becoming imbued with a self-reliant spirit. Throughout his college course, he maintained a high and uniform grade. He aimed, not to com- mand admiration by eccentric brilliancy, but rather to lay the basis of a cul- ture in keeping with his character, broad, symmetrical, full; reading extensively, and meeting the demands of the course without apparent effort. And there 78 WARREN MCCLINTOCK. was not lacking evidence of reserve power which, had he been more aggres- sive or self-asserting, would have given him preeminence. While his abilities under the tests of the recitation-room were recognized by all, to those fortu- nate enough to know him intimately there were many points in his character of commanding interest, and fascination even. There were no moral defects to mar the nice balancing of gentleness and strength, modesty and courage. There was never wanting a manly purpose ; and if he engaged in the recrea- tions of his companions, it was with proper regard for health, or custom, for he had no special fondness for sports. Pure in heart as in life, and respect- ing the privileges of others, he had none of those frivolous dissipations which often engross the time and constitute too large a share of the social life of the student. The scrupulous integrity with which he discharged every obli- gation, and the serenity of his disposition, were an inspiration to us, while he won our affections by his imperturbable good nature. He seemed incapable of sel- fishness or resentment. The placid brow, the tranquil spirit, and steady pur- pose in the presence of what we term the conflicts of life, revealed a character that insured success in any career. He was too modest to seek preferment, but accepted responsibility presented in the form of duty. Such men are strong, consistent and self-poised. He made no public profession of his religious faith while with us, but was thoughtful, reverent and attentive to sacred things, and it is impossible to believe there was indifference beneath so much outward grace. His lack of demonstrativeness, as in all so constituted, suggests the profounder feeling and deeper spiritual impulses. Such, we may believe, were his experiences, for we learn that when the hour of supreme trial came, he felt himself "prepared to die as well as live." j^lbei^f &X CQooi^e. A' LBERT WESTON MOORE, son of Hugh Kelsea and Mary Ann (Connor) Moore, was born August 29, 1842, at Boston, Massachusetts. He fitted for college at the private school of A. K. Hathaway, in Medford, Massachusetts, and entered Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. After graduation, he received the promise of an appointment in the U. S. Army Engineer Corps, and waited for it with commendable patience until March, 1865, when, failing to receive it, he accepted a position as bookkeeper for the American Steam Gauge Company, of Boston, Massachusetts, where he remained until September, 1869. During this time, he had given up the intention of studying law, or any other pro- fession ; but he gradually came to a resolution to study for the ministry, and accordingly entered the Andover Theological Seminary in the Fall of 1869, and graduated from that Seminary in June, 1872. In November, 1872, he accepted an invitation to preach for one year in the Congregational Church at Black- stone, Massachusetts. He was ordained January 22, 1873, ar >d made a more permanent arrangement with the same church. He remained there until July, 1874, when he resigned, and took up his residence at Maiden, Massachusetts, only preaching occasionally until July, 1875, wnen ne accepted the pastorate of the Congregational Church at Bristol, New Hampshire, where 80 ALBERT W. MOORE. he remained until May, 1877. For the next two years he had no permanent charge, but resided at Maiden, Massachusetts, and supplied pulpits as the opportunity offered. In April, 1879, ne was called to the Congregational Church at Farmington, Maine, over which he was installed as pastor Feb- ruary 2, 1 88 1. He resigned his pastorate there in order to accept a unanimous call to the Central Congregational Church at Lynn, Massachusetts, where he was installed November 8, 1882. He has continued his labors there with much success up to the present date. On October 1, 1883, he read before the Boston Ministers' Meeting an elaborate and exhaustive paper on "The true Sources of Religious Confidence," which was published entire in the Congregationalist of the following week. That paper says editorially, "that no paper before the Ministers' Meeting for a long time has awakened so large interest, and given such deep gratification by its boldness, firmness, and strong grasp of its subject. In many respects, it is a model of research, discrimi- nation and force." He received the degree of Master of Arts in course. In politics, he is an Independent Republican. He was married July 20, 1869, to Miss S. Fanny Norton, of Maiden, Massachusetts. They have had seven children : Walter Goodenow, born November 29, 1870; Hugh Kelsea, born Jan- uary 3, 1872; Alice Wood, born November 7, 1873; Mary Wilson Lane, born January 21, 1875 J Horace Dwight, born August 14, 1877; Clara Abbott, born January 30, 1879; an d Mabel Cutler, born December 6, 1880.

GEORGE BRADFORD NICHOLS, son of Joel Cook and Clarissa (Barnes) Nichols, was born December 23, 1839, at East Montpelier, Vermont. He received his Academic educa- tion at Barre, Vermont, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he went to Poughkeepsie, New York, where he pursued a course of instruction in Eastman's Business College, remaining until the Spring of 1865. In May, 1865, he went to Chicago, Illinois, and- was engaged as a draughtsman in a patent-law office. In 1868 he went into the hardwood lumber trade, with the firm of Henry N. Holden & Co., and continued his position there until the Fall of 1881. In 1870 he began to be interested in the study of medicine, and read medical works at his leisure. He also attended the medical societies as a stenographer, both for practice in steno- graphy and for the information to be derived from the discus- sions. In the Fall of 1881, he entered Rush Medical College, Chicago, and graduated on February 20, 1883, at the same institution, in a class of one hundred and seventy-nine. After a few months' practice of his profession in Chicago, he was called East for the purpose of settling up the estate of his mother, who had recently died, at his former home in East Montpelier, Vermont. He entered into practice here, making diseases of the eye and ear a specialty, remaining until March 6 $2 GEOXGE B. NICHOLS. 12, 1884, when he purchased a house and seven acres of land in the viliage of Barre, Vermont, where he removed and has settled down to practice his profession. He made this change for two reasons, one being that it is a central location for sev- eral towns, and therefore a good business point ; the other being to educate his children at the school where he received his preparatory education. In his religious views, he is Independent. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married November 19, 1866, to Miss Emma A. Davis, ■of Plainfield, Vermont. They have had three children, Myrtie E., born April 4, 1868; Mortimer G., born October 5, 1872, and Madine C, born October 8, 1875. Myrtie E. died March 24, 1872. (Sha^les Y).

He received the founda- tion of his preparatory education in part at the High School in Manchester, New Hampshire, and partly at Hanover. New Hamp- shire, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he went to Washington, D. C, and accepted a position as clerk in the Treasury Department, where he remained until August, 1866. During the period of his clerkship, he pursued the study of law, and attended lectures at Columbian Law School, Washington, D. C, from which school he received the degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1866. He has never practised his profession of law. In August, 1866, he removed to New York City, where he received an appointment as clerk in the Coupon Division of the United States Sub- Treasury. In July, 1868, he was appointed Deputy United States Assistant Treasurer, which position he occupied until June 8, 1882, at which time he was elected Assistant Cashier of the Fourth National Bank of New York City, which office of trust he holds at the present time. As to any other positions of trust, he says he doesn't ask anybody to trust him. He is a member of the Presbyterian church. In politics, he is an Independent Republican. 84: CHARLES H. PATTERSON. He was married November 17, 1868, to Miss Fannie A. Holden, of Lowell, Massachusetts.

EEANDER VAN NESS PECK, son of Zia and Sarah (Camp- ^ bell) Peck, was born April 2, 1836, at Acworth, New- Hampshire. He received his Academic education at New Lon- don, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. After graduating, he made two unsuccessful attempts to enter the army, but was refused each time on account of nearsighted- ness. In September, 1864, he took charge of the Mathematical Department of the Military Institute at Poughkeepsie, New York, and held that situation for one year. In September, 1865. he opened a Select School at Mendham, New Jersey, but was recalled to Poughkeepsie in September, 1866, and remained there until July, 1868. He then went to Boston, Massachusetts, and engaged in the fire and life insurance business, until April, 1869, when he moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts, and became connected with a publishing firm. In September, 1870, he again joined the ranks of teachers, and became Principal of the Grammar School at Marblehead, Massachusetts. In the Spring of 1871, he took charge of a large school at Norwood, Massachusetts, where he remained two years. In April, 1873, ne removed to South Natick, Massachusetts, where he taught until 1879, at which time he gave up the pro- fession of teaching. He has continued to make his residence at South Natick up to the present time. Since 1879, ne nas na d 86 LEANDER V. N. PECK. more or less private pupils, has written for the newspapers, and has occasionally attempted something more elaborate in the line of editorial work. He is at present engaged especially in look- ing after invested funds, which, though not large, are amply sufficient, he thinks, to keep him out of Tewksbury. He has been, for the past eight years, the Secretary of the South Natick Historical, Natural History and Library Society. He is Clerk of the John Elliot Congregational Church, and Superintendent of the Sunday School. He also takes an active interest in temperance work. In politics, he is a Republican, though he confesses that he voted for General B. F. Butler, for Governor of Massachusetts, in 1882, "just to see what the old man would do." It is pre- sumed that he saw. In October, 1883, he was appointed to a position in the Custom House at Boston, Massachusetts. It was the first ap- pointment to the Appraiser's Department in the Custom House under the Civil Service Reform rules. He also had the sad experience of receiving a majority of the votes cast for member of the School Committee, but was declared not elected, by unscrupulous politicians who assumed control of the votes. He was married April 9, 1865, to Miss Jennie M. Harris, of Acton, Massachusetts. They have one child, Carrie Ade- laide, born August 21, 1873. J' OHN CARROLL PROCTOR was the son of James Hervey and Eliza (Brown) Proctor. He was born October 26, 1840, at Manchester, New Hampshire. He commenced his preparatory education at the High School at Lowell, Massachusetts, and entered Dartmouth College at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he taught for one year in a Young Ladies' Seminary at Castleton, Vermont. From September, 1865, until March, 1866, he was Principal of the Holten High School at Danvers, Massachusetts. He was then for one year Assistant in Latin and Greek in Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. He entered Andover Theological Seminary in September, 1867, and remained one year, when he received the appointment of tutor of Greek in Dartmouth College, which position he held until July, 1870, when he was elected Professor of Greek Language and Literature in the same institution. He took the degree of Master of Arts in course, delivering the Mas- ter's oration. When he accepted the position of tutor, he did it with the intention of returning to Andover Theological Seminary after one year. He fully meant to prepare himself for the min- istry, which was decidedly his chosen profession. He sometimes regretted his decision, but he knew that his throat would never bear the strain of preaching. After accepting the Professorship of Greek, he felt deeply his inadequate preparation, especially 38 JOHN C. PROCTOR. his ignorance of the German language, and his consequent lack of access to German scholarship on the classics. This prompted his strong desire to go to Germany, and as soon as he could arrange it he went in the Fall of 1872. He spent the first three months in Berlin, in a German family, where he was obliged to speak and hear the language altogether, and, under the private instruction of a Dr. Staettbagen, he made rapid progress in the knowledge and use of the language, to learning which he devoted nearly all his time, only giving a few days before leav- ing to examining objects of interest in the city. He very much enjoyed the music there, — Wagner's operas, etc., — and also the casts of the Antiques in the Museum, especially those connected with Grecian art. He spent the next four months in Leipsic, continuing his studies with a private teacher and attending lecture's at the University ; he also studied distinguished German critiques of Greek authors, and also commenced the study of Sanscrit. He had expected to make a short trip to Athens and Rome, but his time was limited and he was obliged to give it up and content himself with a three weeks' tour through Switzerland, France and England. This opportunity for travel and study was of great advantage to him in every way ; he gained in health and strength, as well as in the acquisition of knowledge per- taining to his department. He returned to Hanover at the beginning of the Fall term in 1873, an d continued his duties. His life was a very sedentary one, being a very close and con- scientious student in his department, and had he lived he would certainly have attained rank with the highest as a Greek scholar. He gave a great deal of thought to religious matters during the last two years of his life. Philology and some scientific subjects interested him greatly. To give some idea of how fully he JOHN C. PROCTOR. ><» occupied his time, I quote from a letter which he wrote in December, 1878, to his old friend Cyrus Richardson: "Just now I am reading a little book by Lacombe, a ' Short History of the French People.' Have read it once, and am going through it again. I find I must go through Guizot and Hallam's Middle Ages before I lay the thing down. Have taken up again the study of Sanscrit, and am reading an Epic in that tongue. Have also opened this year two new authors in our Greek course, Aristotle aud Lucian. Last year I read Aristophanes, Pindar and Theocritus for the first time entire, and re-read them all — Pindar and Theocritus several times. This year I have also been reading the Latin comedian Plautus somewhat, but have got over only three plays yet. I have an exposition of Kant's " Critique der reinen Verunnft," by a Scotchman named Caird, which I hope to read before Commencement. Add to this that I am Clerk of the Faculty/ and have one hundred and twenty- five bills to make out quarterly for our Aqueduct Company, and have a couple of recitations each day, and a l biblical ' on Sun- day, which are my first duties, though put last. I have much to be thankful for in these elevating and useful labors. I get fearfully tired sometimes, but a little rest makes me grateful and eager for new exertions." He lived too fast mentally for his weak bodily frame, so that he was illy prepared to withstand his last sickness. He was taken ill with pneumonia on Friday, October 17, 1879. At first the case was not considered serious, but it gradually assumed a more threatening character, and he passed away suddenly on Monday evening, October 27, 1879, without giving any sign that he was aware of approaching dissolution. All exercises were suspended at the college until after the funeral, which occurred on Thursday, October 30, 1879. 90 JOHN C. PROCTOR. He was married December 7, 1870, to Miss Adeline E. Young, of Hanover, New Hampshire, who survives him. They had three children: John Harvey, born October 19, 1871 ; Sarah Eliza, born April 5, 1875, an< ^ Charles Albert, born September 15, 1878. ©YI^US I^IGHAI^DSON. /TYRUS RICHARDSON, son of Samuel and Hannah (Varnum) yJ Richardson, was born March 30, 1840, at Dracut, Massa- chusetts. He received his Academic education at Tilton, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he taught Latin and Natural Sciences in a Young Ladies' Seminary for two years. He spent his afternoons, during a large part of this time, in the study of anatomy and physiology, and also attended one course of lectures on those subjects, not so much with a view to practice medicine as to get an insight into those branches. In September, 1866, he returned to the East, and entered Andover Theological Seminary, where he graduated after the full course in July, 1869. He received a call to be- come pastor of the Congregational Church at Plymouth, New Hampshire, which he accepted, and was ordained and installed over that church on September 30, 1869. He continued his labors there with good results until the Summer of 1873, wn ^n he received a call from the First Con- gregational Church at Keene, New Hampshire, which he accepted, and was installed July 10, 1873. He remained here for ten years. On June 1, 1883, at a meeting of the First Congrega- tional Church of Nashua, New Hampshire, he received a unani- mous call to become their pastor at a salary of $2,200 and par- sonage. This call he decided to accept, and on July 29, 1883, 92 CYRUS RICHARDSON. he preached his farewell sermon at Keene, to a congregation which filled the church to overflowing, settees being placed in the aisles. He left with the hearty respect and good will of the people, as was attested at a farewell sociable, when he was pre- sented, on behalf of the Sabbath school, with an elegant gold watch, chain and charm. On the outside of the watch is en- graved an exact picture of the First Congregational Church of Keene, while upon the inside is a suitable inscription. He re- ceived from the church and society a Remington type-writer. To Mrs. Richardson was presented a handsome silver service of seven pieces, and to each of the children a handsome silver napkin ring. The pastors of the churches of other denominations in the city gave a supper to Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, and put on record a resolution expressing regret at the separation, and extending best wishes for their future success and blessing. He was installed as pastor of the First Congregational Church at Nashua, New Hampshire, on August 30, 1883, and continues his labors there up to the present time. He has the reputation of being a very able preacher. In 1879 ne was elected a Trustee of Kimball Union Aca- demy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and for the past three years he has been a Trustee of the New Hampshire Missionary Society. In politics, he is a Republican. He was married January 18, 187 1, to Miss Annie Dearborn, of Plymouth, New Hampshire. She was a graduate of Mount Holyoke Seminary, and a teacher there for four years. They have five children, Walter Dearborn, born July 10, 1872; Annie Pearl, born April 27, 1874; Florence H., born June 6, 1875; Elizabeth G., born April 26, 1877, and Mar- garet P., born December 4, 1879. William I^ighai^dson. 7TVILLIAM RICHARDSON, son of William Burpee and \AJ Rebecca (Bass) Richardson, was born December 19, 1838, at Sterling, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory educa- tion at New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. After graduating, he spent the Fall and Winter of 1864 in the service of the Christian Commission, being connected with the army of the Potomac. In the Spring of 1865, he took charge of the Academy at Westbrook, Connecticut, as Principal, and remained there until the Fall of 1865, when he removed to Muncie, Indiana, where he was appointed Superintendent of Public Schools. In the Fall of 1866, he was appointed Superintendent of Instruction in Piqua, Ohio, where he remained, seven years. During his residence here, he was the county school examiner. In 1873 ne was elected President of the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, at Delaware, Ohio. After four years of very successful labor in that position, he resigned to accept the position of Superintendent of the Public Schools of Chilli- cothe, Ohio, where he has remained up to the present time. During his vacations, he has engaged extensively in Normal Institute instruction. He took the degree of Master of Arts in course. His religious preferences are Episcopalian. In politics, he is a Republican. 94 WILLIAM RICHARDSON. He was married August 14, 1866, to Miss Mary Ellen- McLaughlin, of St. Mary's, Ohio. They have two children : Charles Le Roy, born November 19, 1867, and William Hart, born January 20, 1878. George I7. ffl. I^owe. GEORGE HOWARD MALCOLM ROWE, son of Jonathan and Maria Louisa (Morrison) Rowe, was born February i, 184-r, at Lowell, Massachusetts. He commenced his preparatory studies at Phillips Academy, Exeter, New Hampshire, and en- tered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he commenced the study of medicine at Hartford, Connecticut, being House Pupil at the "Retreat for the Insane." He remained until November, 1865, when he went to Boston, Massachusetts, and attended lectures at Harvard Medical School. He continued his studies here until he received his degree of Doctor of Medicine in March, 1868. In May, 1868, he accepted an offer to travel in a professional capacity, and went to Europe for a short trip of three months. Upon his return, he was appointed Assistant Physician at the Boston Lunatic Hospital, where he remained until January, 1869. when he went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as Assistant Physi- cian at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, which position he held until April, 1869. He next received the appointment of Assistant Superintendent of the Boston Lunatic Hospital, located at South Boston, Massachusetts, which he accepted, and filled with eminent satisfaction, until June, 1879. He was then appointed Superintendent and Resident Physician of the Boston City Hospital, a position which he holds at present. 96 GEORGE H. M. ROWE. His duties here are very arduous, but that they are satisfac- torily performed is attested by the fact of his re-election for three successive terms to such a responsible position. He has never been engaged in private practice. He is a member of the leading Medical Societies of Boston, and also of the • American Public Health Association. On March 5, 1883, he read a very interesting paper before the Boston Society of Medical Observation, on " The Training of Nurses," which was published in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of July 5, ^3- In September and October, 1883, he took a trip for re- laxation and pleasure, visiting Baltimore, Washington, Cincin- nati, St. Louis and Chicago. His religious convictions are based on the "Golden Rule" and the " Sermon on the Mount." In politics, he is a con- servative Republican. We wish we could add, "He was married," etc.; but truth compels us to say that he has never married. We sincerely hope his case is not a hopeless one. gJagob O. Sanborn. JACOB OSBORNE SANBORN, son of Daniel Ladd and Adah Shepard (Moore) Sanborn, was born July 6, 1840, at Loudon Centre, New. Hampshire. He received his Academic education at New Hampton, New Hampshire, and entered Dart- mouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. He had resolved in early youth to adopt the profession of teaching, his first attempt being a school at Gilmanton, New Hampshire, when he was sixteen years of age. In the light of modern ideas, he now questions whether he taught or simply kept the school. Before graduating, he was engaged to take charge of the Grammar School at South Hingham, Massachusetts, and entered upon his duties there in August. 1864. He remained there until the Spring of 1866, when, in a com- petitive examination, he was the successful candidate for the position of Principal of the Cradock Grammar School at Med- ford, Massachusetts. He w T as soon after elected Principal of the High School at Needham, Massachusetts, but for good and suffi- cient reasons he declined the position and remained at Med- ford until November, 1868, at which time he removed to Win- chester, Massachusetts, and assumed the duties of Principal of the Grammar School. While there, he was presented with a handsome gold watch, which would indicate the esteem in which he was held. Although he had a liberal salary among a very 7 98 JACOB O. SANBORN. intelligent and appreciative people, he preferred to teach in a school of higher grade, and accepted an invitation to become Master of the High School at Hin gharri, Massachusetts. In the Summer of 1872, he moved to his present field of labor. In this ancient and honorable town there had been an Academy for nearly seventy-five years; but as it did not meet the growing wants of all its people, the town made a very liberal appropria- tion to establish a free High School. He had the pleasure of organizing the school in September, 1872, and has been its only Principal. In the Fall of 1873, ne was invited and urged to return to Winchester, Massachusetts, as Principal of the High School, but thought best to decline. With no further fluctuations of place, he has been, for the past twelve years, anchored to the South Shore, so near to Ply- mouth Rock that he frequently hears from the Pilgrim Fathers. He feels a pride, in common with other residents of Hing- ham, that the town is taxed more proportionately for educa- tional purposes than most towns in Massachusetts, and has the reputation of supporting good schools. They also have the oldest church in the United States used for public worship, and have given the State two noble Governors, Andrew and Long. He is still teaching, and hopes to die in the harness. He has been absent from school but three or four days on account of sickness since leaving college, and, were he to begin life again, would select the same calling, from which it may be inferred that he does not find it irksome. His school has a good physi- cal apparatus and chemical laboratory, and he aims to teach according to the latest and best methods. He has been honored with no title but pedagogue, and JACOB O. SANBORN. 99 although living where governors are made, does not expect or aspire to be one. He has twice been elected President of the Plymouth County- Teachers' Association, and has read papers on educational topics before local, county and state organizations. He is a Trustee of the Hingham Public Library. He is a deacon in the Evangelical Congregational Church of Hingham. In politics, he has always been a Republican. He was married October 30, 1869, to Miss Louisa Attelia Slader, daughter of the late Edward A. Slader, of Nashua, New Hampshire. He says : ' ' Let me add by way of advice to my bachelor classmates, especially my old 'chum,' that the step has proved a wise one, for in my wife I have a devoted companion and an invaluable aid." They have no children. JOHN WOODBURY SCRIBNER, son of John and Betsey Dearborn (Page) Scribner, was born March 7, 1840, at Raymond, New Hampshire. His preparatory course was taken at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and he entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. Immediately after graduating, he went to Hartsville, Indiana, where he was elected President of Hartsville College, which position he occupied for nine years, gradually and thoroughly building up an institution which had run down under a previous administration. Though he never graduated in theology, he taught in a college belonging to the United Brethren in Christ, and united with that denomination in September, 1865, and in 1866, somewhat against his own will, he was licensed to preach. He read the prescribed books, and was ordained at Medora, Indiana, in August, 1869, receiving his title of Reverend at that time. In the Fall of 1873, ne removed to Annville, Pennsyl- vania, where he received the appointment of Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy in Lebanon Valley College. He occu- pied this position for two years, and was also the college pastor from February, 1874, until Februarv, 1875. His real work as a minister began October 1, 1875, when he accepted a call to become pastor of the Free-Will Baptist Church at Lake Village, New Hampshire. He remained there until September, 1879, when he accepted a call to New Hampton, New Hampshire, JOHN W. SCRIBNER. 101 where he continued until April i, 1882. On May 7, 1882, he received a call from the Free-Will Baptist Church at Centre Sandwich, New Hampshire, which he accepted, and continues his pastorate there up to the present time. ■ He was Secretary of the College Department in the National Teachers' Association, held in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1872. He has been a Trustee and Corporator of New Hampton Lit- erary Institution, Trustee since June, 1878, and Corporator since June, 1880, and has been Secretary of both boards since 1880. He has been a member of the Executive Committee of Belknap County Sunday School Association, since its organi- zation in October, 1877, and its Secretary and Treasurer for the past three years. He has published an address, entitled "Our Duty to Ourselves, Our Country and our God." He took his degree of Master of Arts in course. He is an Independent Republican in politics. He was married June 13, 1866, to Miss Mary Ermina Wray, of Hartsville, Indiana. They have four children : Dora Anna, born April 24, 1867; Bessie Blanche, born August 20, 1869; Bertha Aldine, born September 23, 1872; and Wood- bury John, born May 13, 1877. ©HA^LES G.

He began his classical education at Norwich, Vermont, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. He left us. at the end of the first term. He was the son of the late Hon. Ira H. Allen, a man of wide repute and large wealth, who was a nephew of Ethan Allen. After leaving college, he studied law in the office of Hon. Heman S. Royce, of St. Albans, Vermont, and was for two years at Albany Law School, graduating from that school, and was admitted to the bar in Albany, New York, and also in Franklin and Orleans Counties, Vermont. He never entered upon the practice of his profession, as the large estate of his father early fell to his charge, and occupied his attention from early manhood. He was a Republican in politics, and represented the town of Irasburg in the Vermont Legislature in 1867-8. In all the walks of life, he displayed much ability, con- scientious honesty, and something of the independent, dauntless strength of character for which the hero of Ticonderoga was so famous. About the first of January, 1872, he purchased a large estate in South Side, Virginia, where he expected to make his Winter home. Very soon after, while upon a hunting campaign, an 118 CHARLES P. ALLEN. amusement of which he was very fond, he contracted a severe cold from great exposure, which induced a lung trouble. He paid little attention to it at first, his theory of recovery being to toughen himself by exposure; but soon feeling that his symp- toms were assuming more seriousness, he spent the Winter and Spring of 1872 in Florida, and the Winter of 1873 in Florida and Cuba. Continuing in poor health for several years, he at length left Virginia the last of April, 1877, and went to Dr. Jackson's "Cure," in Dansville, New York. At the same time, his wife, who was in very feeble health, went with her mother to her former home in Peoria, Illinois. While at Dansville, he would allow no letters to be written to his wife, except of an encouraging character. By accident, a patient there from St. Albans, Vermont, heard his name and condition mentioned, and wrote to their St. Albans friends about him. The facts coming to the knowledge of his aunt, Mrs. H. S. Royce, she went immediately to Dansville, and, with the aid of two male nurses, took him to her home in St. Albans, where he died on May 30, 1877, °f consumption, in about one week after his arrival. His disease was complicated with Blight's disease of the kidneys. He was buried at Irasburg, his native town. His wife died at Peoria, Illinois, on August 4, 1877, and her remains were taken to Irasburg, and laid beside those of her husband. He was married February 1, 1876, to. Miss Lizzie P. Pulsi- fer, of Peoria, Illinois. They have one child, Lizzie Pulsifer, who was born January 31, 1877, at Randolph, Virginia, and who still lives as the ward of Sidney Pulsifer, her mother's father. In religion, Allen was an Episcopalian. Mr. Pulsifer writes me that "he was possessed of great nobility of character, and a more unselfish man I never knew." Daniel Justin. DANIEL AUSTIN was the son of Daniel and Amelia Allen (Bowen) Austin. He was born September 20, 1842, at Brooklyn, New York. His father died April 8, 1845, °f con ~ sumption, on a return voyage from Cuba, where he had been for the benefit of his health. After the death of his father, his mother removed to her old home at Woodstock, Connecticut, where Daniel attended the Academy until he was eleven years old, when he was sent to Lowell, Massachusetts. After remain- ing in the Grammar School for one year, he was admitted to the High School. At this time, or on March 29, 1854, his mother was married to Rev. Franklin W. Fisk, who was Pro- fessor of Rhetoric and English Literature in Beloit College, Wisconsin, at that time, but removed to Chicago, Illinois, in July, 1859, to accept the chair of Sacred Rhetoric in the Chicago Theological Seminary, where he still remains. Soon after Daniel's admission to the High School, he joined his mother at Beloit, and attended the Preparatory School con- nected with Beloit College. His health breaking down, he was obliged to leave school and go upon a farm for a year. By this means, he regained his health sufficiently to resume his studies. In September, 1858, he joined the class of '60 at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. He graduated with honor, delivering the salutatory at the conclusion of his course. He then entered the Freshman class of Beloit College. His health again failing, 120 DANIEL AUSTIN. he was obliged to leave before the close of the first term. Having partially regained his health, he expressed a preference for an Eastern College, and finally chose Dartmouth, where he entered at the beginning of Freshman Spring term, March i, 1 86 1. Hard study at Andover had broken down his health, and an attack of inflammation of the bowels had left his system illy prepared for the study necessary to attain a high scholarship. Indigestion and severe headache, from which he was free scarcely a day, prevented his close application. He possessed rare tal- ents for the acquisition and retention of knowledge, but was forced by the condition of his health to give up close study and content himself with what he was able to accomplish. He thought of leaving college and entering upon a business life, but his mother and friends desiring him to continue his course, he yielded to their wishes. He left us at the end of Junior year, spending a few weeks among relatives in Connecticut, then joined a party of friends on a hunting and fishing excur- sion to Lake George, New York. They arrived at their des- tination on Friday, September 4, 1863, and encamped for the night. On Saturday morning came a return of his former disease, inflammation of the bowels. There being a physician in the party, everything was done for his comfort until the next day, Sunday, when he was transported up the lake to Bolton, where additional medical aid was summoned. On Monday he appeared better, and it was deemed safe and prudent to remove him to Brooklyn. ' On Tuesday they started, and arrived at Caldwell in the evening. He felt so much better that he insisted on walking unaided from the steamer to the hotel. During the night following, he was taken much worse, became delirious, and quietly expired on the morning of Wednesday, DANIEL AUSTIN. 121 September 9, 1863. His remains were taken to Brooklyn and interred in Greenwood Cemetery. If there was any one quality for which he was distinguished, it was his love for his mother. Being deprived of a father's care at such an early age, he was indebted almost wholly to his mother for the training which made him what he was. To please her seemed his highest ambition, her happiness was always his first consideration. She died in Chicago, May 10, 1881, aged fifty-nine years. Rl^ANGIS BAGON. FRANCIS BACON was born November 3, 1841, at Oxford, Massachusetts. He received his preparatory education at Thetford Academy, Vermont, and entered college at the com- mencement of Freshman year, August 24, i860. He left us during the Spring term of Freshman year, at the very beginning of the war, and enlisted as a private in the Third Battalion, Massachusetts Rifles, General Charles Devens commanding, and remained for the term of service, three months. He then re- enlisted as a private in the Fifteenth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers. In a short time, he received a commission as Sec- ond Lieutenant in the One Hundred and Second Regiment, New York Volunteers, his friends having procured it for him from the Governor of New York, as Governor John A. Andrew, of Massachusetts, could not conscientiously commission him from that State, having already commissioned two of his brothers, and deemed it unjust to commission three from one family, when there were so many other deserving applicants, both in the field and at home. While serving as Second Lieutenant in the One Hundred and Second New York Regiment, he was instantly killed by a bullet through his heart, at the battle of Chancellorsville, on Sunday, May 3, 1863. His body was not recovered, though every effort possible was made by his two brothers, both then in the Service. The youngest brother was afterward killed in FRANCIS BACOX. 123 the same manner, and his body was recovered and brought home and buried. A monument to the memory of the two brave young officers was erected in Rural Cemetery, at Wor- cester, Massachusetts, bearing the dates of birth and death on the side, and at its base the inscription " Par nobile fratrum."

In the Spring of 1863, he again left us, and enlisted in the Navy, where he remained for about eighteen months. After his return, he traveled through the West for a Phila- delphia book firm, until the Spring of 1867, when he took a course at Crittenden's Philadelphia Commercial College, gradu- ating July 11, 1867. He then returned to Dartmouth, and graduated with the class of '68. Immediately after graduating, he went to Chicago, Illinois, and began the study of law. He was never admitted to the bar, but remained there until after the great fire of October 9, 1871, when he went to Minneapolis, Minnesota, and engaged in the real-estate business. Not meeting with the success which he anticipated, he returned to New Hampshire in April, 1873. I n the Fall of that year, he entered Harvard Law School, but was unable to finish his course on ac- count of sickness. His mind became diseased, and it became necessary to send him to the Asylum for the Insane, at Con- cord, New Hampshire. He has been there since March 8, 1874. He was never married. (SOHN F).

One of his captors introduced himself as an ex-member of "Morris Bros., Pell and Trowbridge Minstrels," of Boston. He spent one week in Libby prison, and was then transferred to Belle Isle, where he remained until he was exchanged. Return- ing to the North, he was honorably discharged, and went to Concord, New Hampshire, and began the study of medicine with Dr. Charles P. Gage. He soon had a desire to reenter the service of his country, which he did by entering the navy as Assistant Surgeon. Upon his return from the navy, he went to Concord and resumed his medical studies. He attended lectures at Harvard Medical School and at the Medical Depart- ment of the University of Vermont, at Burlington, where he graduated in 1866.

He was then induced to remove to Housatonic, Massachusetts, a thriving manufacturing town, but he remained there only about one year. In 1875 ne a g am returned to Concord, at the earnest solicitation of his aunt, to whom he was indebted for his educa- tion, his father having died before John began to prepare for college. He remained with her until her death, in February, 1877. In March following, he returned to Salisbury, Connecticut, and resumed his old practice. He was chosen Town Clerk and Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths in 1879, an< ^ ne ^ tne offices for three successive years, and was just about entering on his fourth term when he died.

He pursued his preparatory studies at the Academy in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and entered our class at the commencement of Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. He remained with us until the close of the Fall term of Sophomore year, in November, 1861, when he decided to give up his college course, and went to Boston, Massachusetts, and commenced the study of his chosen profession of dentistry, in a private office. After due qualification, he went to Grafton, Massachusetts, where he began the practice of his profession, and remained there in successful practice for seven years.

JAMES MORRIS CHASE, son of Rev. James Morris (class of '27) and Salina Ann (Venable) Chase, was born October 17, 1839, at Macomb, Illinois. He pursued his pre- paratory studies in the schools of his native town, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. He remained with us until February, 1861, when he left and went to Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, where he re- mained- one year. In September, 1862, he enlisted as a private in the Seventy-eighth Regiment Illinois Volunteers, which be- longed to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, commanded by Major-General Jeff. C. Davis, of Indiana. The first general engagement in which the regiment participated was the battle of Chickamauga, at which he was taken prisoner on September 21, 1863. He was sent directly from the field to Richmond, Virginia, where he was first con- fined in a prison called Scott Block, then transferred to the Pemberton, and thence to Libby prison, where he remained till January 1, 1864. These prisons had formerly been occupied as tobacco warehouses, but they were comfortable quarters in comparison to Belle Isle, where he was next sent. Here there was no shelter of any kind, only the clouds above and frozen sand beneath ; it being in the midst of the winter season, there was intense suffering among the prisoners. On March 15, 1864, JAMES M. CHASE. 131 he was started for Andersonville, Georgia, where he arrived on March 25, being ten days on the railroad. The stockade at this place comprised seventeen acres of ground, and contained six- teen hundred prisoners when he arrived there, which number was increased to thirty-two hundred on April 1, 1864. The in- crease in the number of prisoners was so rapid that the capacity of the stockade was enlarged so that it comprised twenty-seven acres, and on June 1, 1864, contained thirty-six thousand prison- ers. It is needless to dwell upon the privations and sufferings at Andersonville. He was confined there until September 10, 1864, when the place was abandoned, part of the prisoners be- ing sent to Savannah, Georgia, and the remainder to Florence, South Carolina. He was among those who were sent to Savan- nah, Georgia, where they were kept in an open field surrounded by a guard. Here, he says, they were treated very kindly, many people coming to see them, some out of mere curiosity, while others brought acceptable baskets of provisions, the first token of kindness received since being a prisoner. He remained here only one month, when he was sent to Millin, Georgia, where he was confined in a stockade similar to the one at Andersonville, remaining, there until an exchange was effected on November 10, 1864; he had thus been a prisoner for almost fourteen months, and been an inmate of all the prin- cipal Southern prisons. He then went home on a furlough, re- maining until March 10, 1865, when he rejoined his regiment at Goldsborough, North Carolina, which he found sadly deci- mated, as most of the battles in which it participated occurred during his long term of imprisonment. He was mustered out of the Service at the close of the war, on June 25, T865. He returned immediately to his former Home at Macomb, Illinois, 132 JAMES M. CHASE. where he has continued to reside up to the present time, being engaged in farming and brickmaking, in which pursuits he has been very successful. His religious preferences are Presbyterian.

He began his classical studies at McCollum Institute, Mount Vernon, New Hampshire, and entered college at the beginning of Freshman year, August 24, i860. Owing to impaired health, he was obliged to give up his college course, and left us in July, 1861, at the close of our first year. He spent some time in regaining his health, and then entered the Theological Seminary at Bangor, Maine, com- pleting the course, and graduating July 27, 1865. He was ordained as a Congregational minister on December 20, 1865, at Hopkinton, New Hampshire. After leaving his pastorate there, he spent some time in Lowell, Massachusetts, his health not being sufficient to allow of his doing much work. In October, 1868, he accepted a call to Swanzey, New Hampshire, where the work would only be such as he would be able to do. After two years' labor there, he went for a short time to West- minster, Massachusetts, and then to Assonet Village, Massachu- setts. In October, 1874, he became pastor of the Second Con- gregational Church of Marshfield, Massachusetts, where he remained until January, 1878. In October, 1878, he accepted a call to the Congregational Church at Hampton, New Hamp- shire, where he remained until June, 1883. A local paper has the following: "Mr. Cutler is about to finish his labors with our people. We think it difficult to solve 136 WILLIAM H. CUTLER. the problem as to where the man is who can fill Mr. Cut- ler's place. He is a man of excellent learning, and during his stay here has preached some excellent sermons. We think it was a mistake letting him go." After leaving Hampton, he severed his connection with the Congregationalists, and was received into the Protestant Episco- pal church, in order to enter the ministry of that church. The Bishop has assigned him to the charge of St. Matthews parish, in Goffstown, New Hampshire, which is his present residence. He was married September 12, 1865, to Miss Mary C. Spofford, of Lowell, Massachusetts. They have two children : Anna Evelyn, born December 2, 1869, and Clara Louise, born January 30, 1872. Francis Y{. Delano. FRANCIS RALPH DELANO was born September 6, 1842, at Lockport, New York. He commenced his classical edu- cation at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, and entered Dartmouth College at the beginning of Fresh- man year, in the Fall of i860. He remained with us but one term, when he left, and went to Hobart College, Geneva, New York, where he completed his Freshman year. He remained out of college for one year, and then entered as a Sophomore in the class of '6$, at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. He graduated from that college in 1865, and took his degree of Master of Arts in course. Immediately after graduating, he went to Boston, Massachu- setts, where he read law for a year and a half, and took the full course at Harvard Law School, receiving his degree of Bachelor of Laws in 1868. He was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts as attorney and counsellor-at-law, in the same year. He spent the next two years in traveling, and in September, 1870, he located at Niagara Falls, New York, where his family had made their home. He decided to give up the practice of law, and started a private banking office at Niagara Falls. He has con- tinued in the same business up to the present time, only on a larger scale. He was for a number of years Cashier of the Cataract Bank, the largest and most successful bank in Niagara 138 FRANCIS R. DELANO. County, owning one-third of its capital stock of $100,000. He was elected President of this bank in July, 1883. His general business outside of the bank is that of a capi- talist, having large interests in the neighborhood of the F.alls. He is a member of the International Hotel Company, Treasurer of the Niagara Falls Brewing Company, Treasurer of the Niagara Falls Water-Works Company, Treasurer of the Pettebone Paper Company, of Niagara Falls, and President of the Merchants' Gargling Oil Company, of Lockport, New York. As may be judged from his many official positions, his time is pretty fully occupied, and he may be classed among the decidedly busy men. He is a member of the Episcopal church. Politically, he is a Democrat. He was married October 19, 1871, to Miss Elizabeth Gant, of Niagara Falls, New York. They have one child, Nannette Roselle, born August 31, 1875. (Doses (9.

Crosby, M.D., at Hanover. He then attended lec- tures at the Dartmouth Medical College, and graduated in regular course in the Fall of 1864. He commenced the practice of his profession at Warren, New Hampshire, in January, 1865, and remained there until September, 1869, when he removed to Plymouth, New Hamp- shire, where he continued in practice. He was appointed United States Medical Examiner of Applicants for Pensions, which office he held until his death, which occurred at Ply- mouth, on March 29, 1872. He had acquired an extensive practice, and was deservedly popular as a physician as well as citizen. He was a member of the Congregational church, and a Republican in politics. His last illness was very brief, being sick only four days, with cerebro-spinal meningitis. He was married February 15, 1865, to Miss Ellen L. Ward, of Plymouth, New Hampshire, who survives him. They had one child, Arthur Ward, who was born October 18, 1867. I^ai^ison D. Cyans. T^ARRISON DEXTER EVANS was born May 2, 1836, at Ay Peterborough, New Hampshire. His preparatory course was taken at Appleton Academy, New Ipswich, New Hampshire, and he entered our class in the Spring of 1862, during our Sophomore year. He remained with us only two terms, or until the completion of Sophomore year. He then enlisted in the service of his country on August 18, 1862, as a private in Company G, Thirteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers, but was immediately detailed on special duty in the Quartermaster's Department, and served there for eighteen months. He was then detached from his regiment, and placed in charge of confiscated farms, to cultivate them with colored help that came into our lines, the idea of our Govern- ment being to make the negroes self-sustaining. He was on special duty during his whole term of service, part of the time being employed in carrying rations to the soldiers at the front under cover of night. The last year of the war, he was sick all the time with ague and rheumatism, contracted while in the dis- charge of his duties, and he has never since regained his health. He was never off duty while in the Service, and he has never had a pension. He was mustered out of the Service on June 26, 1865. He then went to Mossville, Peoria County, Illinois, where he taught school, but remained there only a short time, as his wife HARRISON D. EVANS. 141 contracted the ague, and he returned to New England, teaching schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire until 1868. During this year, he bought a farm at Sharon, New Hampshire, which he cultivated for four years. In 1872 he accepted a position as traveling salesman for nursery stock, and at the same time can- vassing for "Johnson's Natural History of the Animal King- dom," in which business he is still engaged. He has filled the offices of Selectman, Town Clerk, member of the School Committee and Justice of the Peace. He is at present a deacon in the Congregational Church at Aver Junc- tion, Massachusetts. He is a Republican in politics. He was married August 9, 1862, to Miss Hattie L. Buck- nam, of New Ipswich, New Hampshire. They have three chil- dren : Minnie H., born December 11, 1866; Jennie May, born September 9, 1869, and Harrison E., born August 18, 1881. FRANCIS (g. CWINS . FRANCIS CARLETON EWINS was the son of Thomas H. and Susan (Robinson) Ewins. He was born April 17, 1843, at Salem, New Hampshire. He fitted for college at Newton Centre, Massachusetts, and entered our class February 27, 1861. He left us in the Summer term of Sophomore year, enlisting on June 24, 1862, for three months, in Company B, Seventh Squad- ron, Rhode Island Cavalry. He was one of the company who captured the famous Confederate spy Belle Boyd. He was mus- tered out of the Service on September 26, 1862, the expiration of the term for which he enlisted. He seemed especially to have enjoyed the venturesome part of a soldier's life, and on January 23, 1863, he again enlisted for three years, in Company H of the Second Regiment, Rhode Island Cavalry. He fully intended, if his life was spared, to resume his studies at the close of that time. Very soon after his enlistment, he was made Ser- geant-Major, with the promise of further promotion, which he never lived to see. He was taken sick with a fever while his regiment was on the way to Port Hudson, and was sent to the hospital at Brashear City, now Morgan City, Louisiana, where he died June 6, 1863. That was the message sent to his friends by the adjutant of his regiment, and that is all they have ever been able to learn in regard to him. The city was captured by the Confederates soon after, and all the hospital records were destroyed. FRANCIS C. EWINS. 143 Every means have been employed to learn particulars regard- ing him after he left his regiment, but all without avail. The absence of facts regarding his death has been greatly lamented by his friends. The mystery surrounding it has been an espe- cially great grief to his mother, who depended upon him as few mothers do upon a son. He was a very kind son and brother, always manly beyond his years. The Principal of the Seminary where he fitted for college wrote to President Lord, under the date of February 26, 1861, as follows: "* * * he is a young man of excellent charac- ter and fine abilities, and if admitted, I've no doubt w T ill soon rise to be among the best in his class. I have found but few better or more faithful boys in a course of more than twenty years of teaching. He has always been ambitious of doing his duty."

He was born January, i, 1843, at Kings- ville, Ashtabula County, Ohio. When he was seven years of age, his parents removed to Winchester, Tennessee, where his father became President of the Mary Sharp College, which posi- tion he still occupies, holding a leading and prominent position as an educator. His mother is also known as a writer of some note, being the authoress of "Jephthah's Daughter," and some other works. James pursued his preparatory studies at the insti- tution of which his father is President, until 1859, when he went to Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hampshire, for one year. He entered Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. When the war broke out, in the Spring of 1 86 1, no funds could longer be transmitted to him, and he left us for his home in Tennessee. Being ardent and enthusiastic, he threw his whole heart into his country's struggle for what he thought its rights. Upon entering the Service, he was placed in the Quartermaster's Department; but that did not suit his active temperament, and he joined the Fourth Georgia Cavalry, and was appointed Adjutant on the staff of Colonel Avery, commanding the regiment. He was killed by a fall of his horse, near King- ston, Georgia, on August 30, 1863. His horse reared and fell backward, and crushed him to death instantly. The regiment was just commencing a forced march when the accident 152 JAMES R. GRAVES. occurred, and when Colonel Avery asked who would remain behind to bury the dead boy, and take their chances for over- taking the regiment, every hand was raised. A detail was made to bury him, and they rode several miles to procure screws to fasten the lid of the coffin which their own hands had made, saying that they could not bear the sound of a hammer to drive nails into the box containing the remains of so loved a comrade. One of the members of this regiment afterward said that if they could not obtain assistance from the authorized officer when they came into camp wet, hungry and cold, it was a common saying among them, "Go to Graves, he will not see us suffer," and he was always ready to attend to their needs. His chief characteristic was self-denial, and his generous, self- sacrificing disposition made him a universal favorite wherever he was known, and his memory is tenderly cherished by those who knew and loved him.

His preparatory course was taken at the Union Academy, Canaan, New Hampshire, and he entered College at the commencement of Freshman year, August 24, i860. He was obliged to leave us, during the Spring term of Freshman year in 186 1, on account of ill health. After remaining at home a few months, he went to Weymouth, Massa- chusetts, and secured a situation as bookkeeper. His health very gradually improved ; but becoming more and more inter- ested in business, he finally, but very reluctantly, abandoned the idea of returning to college. He remained in Weymouth, clerking and in business in a small way for himself, until the Winter of 1863. In April, 1864, he became a salesman in a wholesale clothing house in Boston, Massachusetts, in which capacity he continued until December, 1865, at which date he entered into copartnership with Messrs. Miner and Beal, under the style of Miner, Beal & Co., which was changed a little later to Miner, Beal & Hackett. This house was one of the most successful in its line in Boston, having from comparatively small beginnings placed itself at the head of the list, and continued to lead, possibly with the exception of sharing the honor with another house occasionally. Their losses at the great Boston 'fire in November, 1872, were very heavy, their stock, which was consumed, amounting to about $350,000. They saved only their 154: CORCELLUS H. HACKETT. books; but their credit was unimpaired, and they immediately resumed business, and the subsequent years were particularly prosperous. He severed his connection with the house in De- cember, 1882, having been a member of the firm for seventeen years. He now retires from active business for the present. His career as a business man has been eminently successful. In February, 1883, he took a trip to Florida, returning to Boston in May. On June 16, 1883, he sailed with his family for Europe, where he expects to remain indefinitely, seeking rest, of which he very much feels the need. His religious preferences are Congregational. Ln politics, he is a Republican. He was married July 23, 1866, to Miss Helen L. Hum- phrey, of East Weymouth, Massachusetts. They have two children : Helen Grace, born October 19, 1869, and Harold Humphrey, born July 13, 1878. (©HAI^LES D. F^AI^YEY. /THARLES DARLING HARVEY was born September 7, V^ 1839, at East Burke, Vermont. At the age of fourteen years, he was placed upon* a farm, where he worked for four years. During this time, he formed a desire for a collegiate course, and pursued the study of Latin, reciting to a private instructor during the Winter evenings. In the Fall of 1857, he entered the Academy at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, from which institution he graduated in the Summer of 186c. He entered our class at Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. During his Academical course, he had experienced much difficulty in using his eyes by artificial light, owing to a weak- ness caused by night reading while on the farm* and' this became so serious, that it necessitated an entire suspension of study, and he was obliged to abandon his college course at the close of the first term. After leaving college, light employment was temporarily offered in the law office of Hon. B. H. Steele, ^at Derby Line, Vermont, and while so employed, he became interested in the study of law. For two years, the condition of his eyes did not allow more than one hour of reading each day. In February, 1862, he entered the law office of Hon. T. P. Redfield, of Montpelier, Vermont, and continued under his instruction until the Summer of 1863, when he was admitted to the bar. In the 156 . CHARLES D. HARVEY. Fall of 1862, while reading with Mr. Redfield, he received a position as Assistant State Librarian. In the Spring of 1863, he was appointed Assistant Clerk in the Circuit Court, at Mont- pelier, and also in the Supreme Court of the State", which posi- tions he held while in Montpelier. In the Fall of 1863, he accepted a clerkship in the United States District Court, at Springfield, Illinois, from which posi- tion he was, six months later, transferred to the United States District Attorney's office, where he acted as Assistant District Attorney until after the assassination of President Lincoln, tak- ing an active part in the administration of the Internal Revenue Laws, both in the court and criminal cases. Retiring from this office, he commenced the general practice of law in the Federal Courts, in company with A. Campbell, Esq. A month later, Hon. Lawrence Weldon, ex-United States District Attorney, became associated with them, under the firm name of Weldon, Campbell & Harvey. The death of Mr. Campbell occurred in 1867, and the firm of Weldon & Harvey continued two years later, when Mr. Weldon' s removal from the city necessitated a change, and the new firm of Harvey & Wolcott continued the business until 1876. At this time, overwork compelled a suspension, and he found that both change of climate and occupation was now impera- tive. He then started West, and located on the Pacific Coast, and, with a new climate and a new occupation, made a fresh start in business. Naturally inclined to mechanics, and having pre- viously made some study of the theory of warming and venti- lating buildings as a science, he made it a practical study, using the hot-water system in preference to air or steam. CHARLES D. HARVEY. 157 Having perfected the system, it was difficult to introduce, being expensive and unknown on that coast. Little progress was made during the first two years, but having been practically tested, it soon became the popular system, and rapidly developed into an extensive business, and for the past two years has been more extensively used than any other system on the Pacific Coast. The manufactory is in San Francisco, and his residence is across the bay, in Oakland, California. With the active out-door life and the bracing climate, the change of employment has brought health and strength, to his entire satisfaction. In religion, he is a Congregationalist, and in politics, he is a Republican. He was married May 30, 1867, to Miss Margaretta A. Slemmons, of Cadiz, Ohio. They have had six children : S. Slemmons, born May 29, 1868; Silas Antrim, born February 26, 1870; Amanda M., born December 17, 1872; Alice, born May 31, 1875; Charles W., born April 12, 1878, and Amie, born September 12, 1882.

He pursued his preparatory studies at the Central High School of his native city, and entered college at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. He left during Sophomore Fall for the purpose of entering the service of his country, but only succeeded in gaining consent to enter the Quartermaster's Department in 1864. He remained in Govern- ment service until the Fall of 1865, when he engaged in mer- cantile pursuits with his father and brother until 1870, when he became interested, in company with J. M. Bishop, under the name of Bishop & Heisel, and afterward the Commercial Oil Company, in the refining of petroleum for illuminating purposes. He continued in this until the Spring of 1883, when he sold his interest, and has since remained out of active business. His religious preferences are decidedly liberal, as he con- fesses a leaning toward Ingersollism. In politics, he is a Democrat. He was married August 7, 1867, to Miss Catherine Eliza Cogan, of Cleveland, Ohio. They have two children : Julia, born July 13, 1869, an d Henry, born December 25, 18*71. flliFI^ED O. F)UFGHGOG^.

He received his preparatory classical education at Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, New Hamp- shire, and entered Dartmouth College in the Fall of 1859 as a member of the class of '63. He severed his connection with that class at the end of Freshman year, on account of ill health, and re-entered in the Fall of 1861, joining our class as a Sophomore.

JOSEPH KENDALL JENNESS was born March 4, 1843, U at Haverhill, Massachusetts. He pursued his preparatory studies at the High School of his native town, and entered Dartmouth at the beginning of Freshman Fall term, August 24, i860. He is remembered by us all as a young man of excep- tionally brilliant talents, and a most genial companion and friend. He immediately took the first rank among us as a scholar, and maintained the position of class-leader during his connection with us. His patriotism outweighed his love of study, and he left us in the Spring of 1861, and enlisted as a private in the Ninth New York Cavalry, and soon rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant. For a short time, he was a member of the body-guard of President Lincoln; but during most of his term of service, he was in the Department of the Southwest, in General Banks' division. He served until the close of the war in 1865. Upon his return to Haverhill, he commenced the study of law, entering the office of John J. Marsh, Esq., where he remained until he was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1868. The Haverhill Police Court was established in 1867, and he was appointed clerk of that court, which office he filled until September, 1872.

He was elected Mayor of Haverhill in 1876, and re-elected in 1877. During these two years, he was associated with D. C. Bartlett, Esq., in the practice of law, the partnership terminating upon his retirement from the mayoralty. At the municipal election in 1879, ne was elected for the three years' term as a member of the School Committee. At the time of his death, he was the senior member of the law firm of Jenness & Moody. His physical constitution, which was never very robust, was for two years giving way to the pressure that his mental activity and close application to busi- ness made upon it. In 1880 he became convinced that he must for awhile give up business cares, and take time for a rest. This he did, and though appearing to have received benefit, there was no permanent improvement. After again entering upon his duties, his failing health proved that his disease had not left him. As the spring of 1881 opened, his friends became anxious about him, and advised him to again seek rest and recreation. He went to Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, where the invigorating sea-air seemed to revive him for a time ; and after an absence of several weeks he returned home, think- ing he had gained in strength; but this hope proved a delusion, and it was evident to his friends that he was passing away. For a month he sank rapidly, and finally breathed his last on Monday, August 29, 1881. The cause of his death was paralysis of the brain. His funeral services were held on the Wednesday following, and were attended by family and relatives only, in accordance with an oft-expressed wish of his during life. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Royal Arcanum and the Knights of Honor. In his profession JOSEPH K.

He received his prepara- tory education at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts, and entered our class the first day of our Freshman year, and left us the last day of the same year, in the Summer of 1861. He went to Haverhill, Massachusetts, the last week in August, i86j, and enlisted as a private in Company H, Twenty-second Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers. This regiment was one of two — the Twenty-second and Twenty-third — raised by Hon. Henry Wilson, then United States Senator from Massachusetts. After remaining in camp at Lynnfield, Massachusetts, about six weeks, they went to Washington, D. C, in October, 1861, under the command of Colonel Henry Wilson. They went immediately to Vir- ginia, being assigned to the First Brigade, First Division, Fifth Army Corps, commanded by General Fitz John Porter. In March, 1862, his regiment participated in the advance on the "Quaker Guns" of Manassas, and then went to the Penin- sular under General George B. McClellan, landing at Fortress Monroe just after the fight between the Monitor and the Merri- mac. He was also present at the siege of Yorktown in April, 1862. He then took part in the demonstration at Hanover Court House, which was made while the great battle was going on at Fair Oaks.

KIMBALL. 173 29, where his regiment lost three hundred men, including Colonel Gove and most of the other officers, and at Malvern Hill on July 3, — the last of a desperate series of battles. When the Army of the Potomac left the Peninsular in August, 1862, to reinforce General Pope at Bull Run, he went with his regi- ment as far as Fredericksburg, where he was compelled to leave it, being sick with swamp fever and chronic diarrhoea. He was discharged for general debility at Baltimore, Maryland, on March 24, 1863. Owing to continued ill health, he was unable to resume his studies, as he was very desirous of doing. On March 10, 1864, he sailed from Boston, Massachusetts, for Louisiana, where he remained until June, 1865. AVhile there, he had six months' experience on a large sugar and cotton plantation, and also taught a colored school for six months, under the United States Bureau of Education.

LCEONAI^D S. I\IMBAIiIi. LEONARD SALTMARSH KIMBALL was the son of Leonard / and Caroline (Parker) Kimball, of Goffstown, New Hamp- shire. He was born March 7, 1843, at Weare, New Hampshire. His father removed to Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1845, anc ^ here Leonard's boyhood was spent, which was unmarked by any special events of interest to those outside the family circle. In his studies, he was proficient ; in play, was active, and in labor, resolute to engage where his services were needed. He was especially beloved by his sister ; and his father, who was a man of unusual powers of penetration, watched with pride mingled with fear his expanding powers, hoping for the best, yet with the feelings of anxiety that only a parent can feel, fearing that he might be influenced by those to whom he gave his con- fidence, and led into the many temptation's that beset the young. He was a young man of great talents and fine ability, and much confidence was felt that his future would be a good and a great one. He will be remembered by us all as witty, gener- ous and impulsive. He had great ambitions, and had intended to become a lawyer after completing his college course. He received the foundation of his education at the Lowell High School, and entered Dartmouth at the beginning of the Fall term, August 24, i860. During the Winter vacation of 1 860-1, he taught a school at West Boxford, Massachusetts. LEONARD S.

It was the first death which had occurred in our class. All recitations and games were suspended until after the funeral services. A delegation from the class accompanied the body to Lowell, Massachusetts, where it was interred. He had, for one so young, a just and discriminating taste in litera- ture. There are few who pass from earth in early youth who give up more of joyousness in the very consciousness of liv- ing, or more of ardent hopes for a brilliant future. He had all of the collegian's warm and natural interest in his class, and, had he lived, would have rejoiced in the successes and honors of his classmates. eloHN B.

At Bull Run the color- bearer was killed, and amid a shower of bullets, Rand bravely gathered up the colors and bore them from the field, an act of heroism witnessed with the warmest approbation by many of his comrades. He was on the right of Burnside's Corps in the charge across the "Stone Bridge" at the battle of Antietam, where he was shot in the head, and instantly killed, on Sep- tember 17, 1862.

He then went to Holden, Massachusetts, where he preached as regular supply for the Congregational Church until 1879. At this time, his liberal views led him to withdraw from the ministry, although he has continued to preach occasionally, by request, in different places before liberal churches. Extracts from his sermons, as well as sermons entire, have frequently been published in the newspapers, and also in pamphlet form. HENRY M.

He was taken sick and went home to Epsom, about the 10th of October. His disease was typhoid fever in its severest form, terminating fatally, after four weeks' illness, on November 11, 1862. He was a young man of good promise, and though with us but a short time, endeared himself to many of us by his many noble traits of character. In his native town, he always ranked well in scholarship and general demeanor, and held the esteem of his teachers and the regard of his fellow citizens. gJohn R Scotch.
