HONORARY

Dr. Jacob Henry Gallinger, United States senator from New Hampshire since 1891, upon whom the honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred in 1885, died August 17, in Franklin, N. H., of arteriosclerosis.

Senator Gallinger was born in Cornwall, Ontario, March 26, 1837, his parents being Jacob and Catharine (Cook) Gallinger. He studied medicine, graduating from the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincinnati in 1858 and from the New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1868. From 1862 to 1885 he was in active practice in Concord, N. H. He became active in Republican politics, held various offices in the state, and was a member of the lower house of Congress in 1885-9, being promoted thence to the Senate.

He was married August 2, 1860, to Mary Anna Bailey of Salisbury, N. H., who died several years ago. Only one of their six children is living.

In 1887 the honorary degree of Master of Arts was conferred upon Rev. Charles Carroll Carpenter, who died at Andover, Mass., August 19, of heart weakness due to advancing age.

Mr. Carpenter was the son of Dr. Elijah W. and Vallona (Slate) Carpenter, and was born in Bernardston, Mass., July 9, 1836. His long life had many phases of usefulness, as missionary in Labrador, member of the United States Christian Commission in the Civil War, Congregational pastor in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and editor of the Andover 'Townsman. In historical and genealogical research he attained a high rank, his general catalogues of Phillips Andover Academy and Andover Theological Seminary being the best pieces of workmanship in that line that have appeared in this country. Many of the younger (not the youngest) Dartmouth men knew him best as "Mr. Martin" of the "Conversation Corner" in the Congregationalist.

His wife, who was Feronia N. Rice of Auburn, Mass., survives him, with a son and two daughters. The son is Charles L. Carpenter '87.
