CLASS OF 1873

Henry D. Woodbridge is general book keeper for the Franklin National Bank, Newark, 0., and is also interested in various business enterprises, among which is the Newton Coal and Mining Co., of which he is secretary and treasurer.

A very interesting article by Professor Wright of Harvard University on "The Origin of Plato's Cave," which was originally printed in the Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, Vol. xvii, has just been issued separately in a pamphlet of sixteen pages.

Doctor David B. Ward, non-graduate, died at his home, Church St., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Jan. 24, 1907, of heart trouble following a severe attack of the grip. He had contracted a severe cold a few days before his death, but persisted in attending to his duties, and treated his patients until a short time before his death. He was born in Pleasant Valley, N. Y., March 15, 1853, his father, Alson Ward, for years having been one of Poughkeepsie's best citizens and holding many positions of influence. D. B. Ward was fitted at Riverview Military Academy in his home city. He left Dartmouth at the conclusion of his junior year, and graduated from Hamilton College a year later in 1873. He completed his medical studies at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, receiving his degree in 1876. For three years he practiced his profession at Wheeling, W. Va., and then began practice at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., remaining there until his death. Many years ago he began to make a specialty of microscopic work in the study of disease, and his advice was much sought. Cultures were constantly sent to him for microscopic examination. He was never married.

Secretary, Rev. S. Winchester Adriance, Winchester, Mass.
