Professor John Vose Hazen died October 2 at his home in Hanover after a protracted illness.

He was born in Royalston, Mass., November 22, 1850, his parents being Rev. Norman (Dartmouth 1840) and Martha (Vose) Hazen. His maternal grandfather was John Vose, Dartmouth 1795. His father died in 1852, and his mother returned to her old home in Atkinson, N. H., where Professor Hazen fitted at Atkinson Academy for the Chandler Scientific Department, entering the sophomore class in the fall of 1872. He was a member of the Phi Zeta Mu fraternity, now Sigma Chi.

The first year after graduation he spent in the Thayer School, obtaining the degree of Civil Engineer in 1876. In the fall of that year he was employed as assistant engineer on the Hancock Division of the Manchester and Keene Railroad. In the winter he taught at Hancock, N. H., and then was until the fall of 1877 in the office of D. H. Andrews '69, bridge builder, of Boston. The next year he taught in Atkinson Academy.

In 1879 he became instructor in civil engineering, in 1880 professor of theoretical and applied mechanics, and in 1893 professor of civil engineering and graphics. Elsewhere in the MAGAZINE may be found a fuller tribute to the instructor and the man.
