Horace D. Hardy, son of Judge John H. Hardy '70, was born at Arlington, February 28, 1877, and after graduating from the Arlington High School, entered Dartmouth with the Class of Ninety-nine, graduating with the degree of A.B. While in College he was a member of Psi Upsilon and Sphinx, and was business manager of the Dartmouth LiteraryMonthly his senior year.
He was graduated from Harvard Law School in June, 1902, having been admitted to the Massachusetts bar the March before graduation. He entered the law office of Choate and . Stewart, and remained two years, being admitted to practice law in the Circuit Court of the United States, October 25, 1904.
In the fall of 1904 he formed a partnership for the general practice of law with Henry C. Sawyer, and was a member of the firm of Sawyer, Hardy, Stone, and Wiles at the time of his death, with offices at 53 State Street, Boston.
He was a member of the Arlington Republican town committee for seven years, and was annually appointed town counsel since 1905. In 1906 he was elected to the Massachusetts house of representatives to represent the district of Arlington and Lexington and served on the committees on Constitutional Amendments and Street Railways. He was re-elected in 1907 and was chairman of the important committee on Mercantile Affairs.
In 1909 he was appointed Assistant District Attorney for Middlesex county and participated in many important trials up to the time of his death.
He was public administrator for the county of Middlesex and was a member of the Boston Bar Association. For several years he was a member of the First Corps of Cadets.
Few men of his age have equaled his accomplishments in a professional way, and few men at thirty-three have had so brilliant and assured a future before them. Though not in the best of health always, he was always ambitious and industrious, uncomplaining and likable. He was one of those rare men whom success leaves unspoiled, whose success arouses no jealousy.
Of the many in the various walks of life with whom his activities brought him in contact, there was none but wished him well, none to whom his death does not bring a real sorrow. By the death of "Dek" Hardy the College has lost a faithful son and the class a loyal brother.
Secretary, Charles H. Donahue, 18 Tremont St., Boston
