CLASS OF 1866

Marshman Williams Hazen died July 22, 1911, at his home in the city of New York, of hardening of the arteries. He was born in Beverly, Mass., July 28, 1840, being the youngest of seven sons of Greenleaf and Susan Perley (Towne) Hazen. Mr. Hazen fitted himself for college, and paid his way through by literary work and teaching. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa, ranking among the first scholars in his class. After graduation he was for three years principal of Pinkerton Academy, Derry, N. H., and then master of the high school of West Cambridge, Mass. He resigned this position to take charge of the Western office of Ginn and Company, and five years later became manager of the New England branch of D. Appleton and Company, publishers. He had, meanwhile, read law, and resigned in 1882 to enter upon practice, which has been followed largely in New York, and has been largely in the line of corporation law. He has been president of the National Press Company, the Union Writing Machine Company, and the Sheldon Loan and Trust Company, and director in several other corporations. He became the author of "A History of the United States," in two volumes; of a work on the forms of the world's governments; of twenty-one school text-books, including a series of spellers, a series of readers, and a course in language; of a "History of the Republican Party from 1884"; and, jointly with two clergymen, of a religious work entitled, "Jehovah and Lucifer." He was a thirty-third degree Mason, and a member of the Old South Church, Boston; was actively engaged in charitable work. Mr. Hazen was never married.
