CLASS OF 1878

The New York Evening Post, in ..describing a collection of Spanish landscape paintings by Lewis S. Cohen, which have recently been on exhibition at the Folsom Galleries, on Fifth Avenue,speaks of the paintings thus: "Mr. Cohen's keen sense of the picturesque has served him well; he has supceeeded, too, in introducing atmosphere into his pictures; if one part of a town rises in the full sunlight above a great red bridge, and another is seen less brilliantly lighted through the arches, they are never disjointed. He is fond of introducing figures into his pictures. They are not the ordinary dummies so often seen in landscape painting, but show action and are used with a purpose; not only for the purpose of giving a feeling of movement, but also for serving as a means of introducing touches of light and color where they are needed."

Mrs. Sarah Stevens Norcross, widow of Rev. Albert F. Norcross of this class, died February 18 at Milford, N. H., in her fiftyninth year. We quote from a newspaper notice : "As the wife of Rev. Albert F. Norcross she shared most faithfully and joyfully in his ministry to the Congregational churches of Shirley and Rockport, Mass., and Sherburne, N. Y. After' the death of her husband in 1893, she'returned to New Hampshire with her two little girls, and for ten years was a teacher in the Milford schools. In all the years her sunny disposition, her bravery under great sorrow, and her devotion to Christian duty made her life a power in home and community. She leaves two daughters, Gertrude L. and Mary F. Norcross, Mt. Holyoke 1905."
