CLASS OF 1894

When the class of '94 graduated twenty-six years ago last June, there were eighty-six men in the class. Of these eighty-six, four only have died, viz.: Edward Hart Safford John Henry Bowers, Fred Lincoln Mudgett, and, most recently, Timothy Bagley, whose death took place at his home on Maynard Road, Framingham, Mass., July 29, 1920, as the result of a protracted illness. Funeral services were held at Framingham two days later, and were attended by eight of his classmates: F. C. Allen, A. Bartlett, Berry, Duffy, Griffin, Palmer, B. A. and F. L. Smalley.

Mr. Bagley was born at Southboro, Mass.; December 8, 1871, and had therefore turned the half-way mark of his forty-ninth year Graduating from the Peters High School in Southboro, he took the classical course at Dartmouth, being a member of the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity. Following college he spent '94-95 with the Eagle Publishing Company, Springfield, Ohio; '96-99 with the Deerfoot Farm Company (office and laboratory), Southboro; '99-1911 in shoe and leather advertising; from 1911 on he was in the advertising department of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company.

Mr. Bagley belonged to the innermost circle of loyal '94 men, and his loyalty to the College was no less than to the class. He was chosen toastmaster for the 25 year reunion dinner, and while unable on account of sickness to be at the dinner, "he made the trip to Hanover and enjoyed what he could of the reunion, thus bringing delight to his classmates, who for a time had expected that he could not come at all. At the preceding reunion he.had been one of the two leading participants in a hoax which made the dinner of that year memorable in class annals. He was characteristically a contributor to the good humor of every round-up or class gathering. What his associates in the advertising department of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company found to be true would be echoed by the members of his class. To quote from Telephone Topics:

"'Tim' Bagley, as he was widely known had one of those genial natures that won and held the affections of all who met him. A keen student of big affairs, he was a delightful conversationalist. He had the faculty of giving consideration to the opinions of others and was always extremely courteous and charitable."

Mr. Bagley was married October 1, 1917, tc Mary Elizabeth Sullivan of Framingham who survives him.

A memorial will in due time be sent to the class by the Secretary.
