Jordan Jackson Rollins died at his apartment at the Hotel Lorraine, New York city, on February 25, as the result of blood poisoning caused by an attack of quinsy. Mr. Rollins was born in Portland, Maine, December 20, 1869; was graduated from the Portland High School, and entered Dartmouth College in the fall of '88. He was a brilliant scholar, a congenial companion, and a faithful friend, — qualities which speedily brought him into prominence in class affairs. He joined the Psi Upsilon fraternity; was a member of the Sphinx senior society; made Phi Beta Kappa, and was a Commencement speaker. He has ever remained loyal to the Class of '92 and his loss will be felt deeply by every member of the class. After leaving college he attended the Harvard Law School for a year and entered the office of his uncle, the late Daniel G. Rollins '60, in New York city. After his uncle's death, he formed with his cousin, Philip Hale Rollins, the firm of Rollins & Rollins. From the outset Rollins was successful in his profession. Equipped with a fine legal mind, practical common sense, and keen business judgment, he quickly won the respect and confidence of those with whom he came in contact. These qualities, in combination with his attractive personality and high integrity, won for him a remarkably wide circle of friends among the prominent men of affairs in the country. At the time of his death he represented many large business interests. Rollins was interested in everything which made for the advancement of his profession, and -was a member of the principal associations of lawyers in New York; also a trustee of the Teachers' College, and an active member of the Academy of Political Science and the Economic Club. He was always interested in the affairs of Dartmouth College, and was president of the Alumni Association of New York at the time of his death. He never married, and his social interests were naturally centered, in a large measure, in the many clubs to which he "belonged.
