CLASS OF 1871 ASA WILSON WATERS '71

An honored and loved member of the Dartmouth College class of 1871 has 'passed over" to the unknown realm of spirits "whence no traveler returneth." Melvin Ohio Adams will no more be seen on earth; he has been president of the class of 1871 since "memory runneth not to the contrary"; a former trustee of his Alma Mater; a leader in the movement to rebuild Dartmouth Hall after the fire, contributing thereto not only his personal attention, mental and physical energy, but in addition twenty thousand dollars; he had an enthusiastic love for Dartmouth College, and a similar affection for his classmates of 1871, and that love is reciprocated by each one of his thirty-six living classmates, who mourn, "in sackcloth and ashes," his sudden demise.

Born at Ashburnham, Mass., November 7 1850, he died at his home in Boston August 9, 1920; he was a son of Joseph and Dolly (Whitney) Adams of Ashburnham, and his great-grandfather, John Adams of Ashburnham, was a soldier in the American Revolutionary Army. While a boy in Ashburnham he attended the public schools, and in spare hours studied Latin under the tutelage of Rev. J. D. Crosby of his native town; he later entered Appleton Academy at New Ipswich, N. H., where he prepared for college, entering Dartmouth as a freshman in 1867, two years after the close of the Civil War, and nearly three months before reaching his seventeenth birthday; he graduated from Dartmouth College with honors and the A. B. degree, Thursday, July 20, 1871, more than three months before his twenty-first birthday, in a class numbering eighty-three, including those of the Chandler Scientific School. He taught school, studied law, graduated with the degree LL. B. from Boston University in 1874, and was admitted to the Suffolk County (Boston) Bar in 1875. He had married on January 20, 1874, Mis's Mary Colony, a daughter of George Danforth Colony, M. D., and Harriet M., his wife, of Fitchburg, Mass. Dr. Colony, her father, graduated from Dartmouth College, A. B., in the class of 1843; she survives her husband, as does their only son, Karl Adams, Esq., a leader in the junior bar of Boston, and an assistant counsel for the (city) corporation of Boston.

A! short time after his admission to the Boston bar in 1875, he was appointed assistant district attorney of Suffolk county, in which important office he continued for about ten years, resigning in 1886 and entering into private practice in partnership with Augustus Russ, Esq.; the latter died in 1892, and he continued thereafter without a partner; he was associated in some celebrated cases, particularly the Lizzie Borden case of Fall River and the John Stetson will case.

In 1891 he had been elected president of the Boston, Revere Beach, and Lynn Railroad Company, then a small enterprise; under his able management it became, and is today, an important railroad, and for nearly thirty years to the hour of his death, he gave it his untiring and able management as its president.

He was appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt United States district attorney at Boston, an important office, from which he resigned after one year of service. He was much interested in the welfare of his native town, was president of the board of trustees of Cushing Academy, located at Ashburnham. and made gifts to it; he also gave to Ashburnham a public school building and a park which were dedicated to the memory of his mother; his body is buried in Ashburnham. He was also interested in the Farm and Trades School on Thompson Island in Boston harbor, and was one of the oldest members of its board of managers.

In 1912 Dartmouth College conferred on him the honorary degree of LL. D. He had a Boston home on Beacon Street, also a summer home on Middle Brewster Island in Boston harbor, where he entertained extensively, his friends christening the island "Adams Republic." He was a member of the Union League Club of New York city, and of the Union, Unitarian, University, Exchange, and Boston Yacht Clubs of Boston. Of course he was one of the founders of the Dartmouth Club of Boston. He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, and active in its interests.

In college days his pet name among his Dartmouth classmates was "Hi" Adams, his middle name being O-Hi-O, but generally by his classmates, by Dartmouth men, and other friends, he was affectionately called "Mel," or "Mel Adams." His personal relation to his classmates and friends can hardly be better described than to say that it was in the spirit of Theodore Roosevelt, vivacious, resourceful, helpful, energetic, loyal, and ardent; he had a vein of humor that was ever fresh and vigorous; he had, too, a unique power to strongly phrase the English language; he was an orator upon inspiring occasions.

Let me close this brief sketch with an incident. Our classmate, Judge Charles W. Hoitt of Nashua, N. H., learned that at a book auction in Philadelphia of old books, original manuscripts, and autographs there was catalogued for sale the original manuscript copy of a little poem by our late classmate, Professor Charles Francis Richardson, of blessed memory. Hoitt bought it, brought it to Boston, and showed it to Adams, whc at once asked and obtained permission to have it photographed; and only two days before Adams departed from us, he had mailed to each member of his class of 1871 a photographic facsimile of this poem, with a communication stating the circumstances of its acquirement, and closing over his own signature with these words, "How characteristic of 'Rich,' whether here or there, to be helping," "Always yours"; and within sixty hours thereafter he was "there" with "Rich"—and here is the poem:

HELP

The world is full of labor, It toils in weariness; You cannot bear its burden, But you can make it less.

A little child is trying To lift a heavy load; Go, help the helpless toiler Along the weary road.

A poor old friendless woman Is tottering on along; Her trembling strength has failed her; Go, offer her your own.

Though little be each action, Its heart the Lord shall see; And His shall be the witness, "Ye did it unto me."

It is hardly possible to conceive of a sweeter and more touching "last word" than this of our dear Melvin. Four of his classmates Edward Carlton Atwood, M. D., of Daytona. Fla., George Henry Littlefield, M. D., of Boston, Hon. Charles William Hoitt of Nashua, N. H., and Asa Wilson Waters; Esq., of Philadelphia, Pa., were present at the impressive and beautiful service in King's Chapel, Boston.

The death of Charles Ebenezer Hill, which took place at Temple, N. H., April 6, 1917: has never been mentioned in the MAGAZINE.

When the class of '94 graduated twenty-six years ago last June, there were eighty-six men in 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."

News has just been received of the death in August, 1920, of Henry Wilkins Smith.

son of Edward T. Smith, banker, of New York city, at sea on board the S. S. West Jaffa, 'en route from an oriental port to New York via the Panama Canal. The steamer was not far from New York. No other details are given, except that death was due to heart trouble.

"Buck" Smith was a popular member of the class, of which he was president during sophomore year. He was also manager of the class basketball team freshman year, and was a member of Psi Upsilon. He left college however, at the end of junior year. "Buck" was always alive to everything going on about him, and full of interest in class affairs. He was a man who could be counted on as a loyal friend. His death will be keenly regretted by the whole class.

After leaving college, Buck seems to have been for a time at his home at 1 Mt. Morris Park, New York city, and then for a time in South Boston. In 1914, however, he went West, and was reported to be working on an orchard in the Hood River Valley with an address with the U. V. O. Company at Parkdale, Oregon.

"Doc" enclosed also a snapshot of his "better half" and four of his five children (The younger boy was off hunting.) The group was posed in front of the '99 class tree of 1917. Trees are scarce down there, so they plant a new class tree every season. Nothing too "shady" about the enterprise yet, however.

Word has reached us of the engagement of Mr. J. W. Manion. Exact details are not forthcoming, but the rumor is authentic and confirmed by one of the factors involved. Thus our list of bachelors is rapidly diminishing. Whether the few that remain are hopeless, the writer would not venture to state because of the optimistic happenings of last year. Many that we had almost given up have joined the ranks of the blessed. We therefore conclude with the old saying, "Where there is life there is hope."

J. C. Redington has accepted a position with the San Joaquin Power and Light Company, and will be located permanently at Fresno, California.

We congratulate Roger and the College, because we know, that his work will be conspicuous for its breadth and scope. We don't know just where Roger will live, but in view of the crowded conditions at Hanover, we are inclined to believe he will need a "flivver" even more than Harry Marshall. Everyone going to Hanover will find another host in Roger Dunlap, and we hope that this connection will be a permanent one and we shall always have his welcoming smile whenever we go back tc the old college.

Mr. Gentleman was the director of the Galahad Club of Cambridge, Mass., at the time, of his death.
