CLASS OF 1878

John C. Gray, superintendent of schools at Chicopee, Mass., is to give two courses in arithmetic and one in language at the summer session of the University of Vermont. He was recently presented with a traveling bag containing $500 in gold at a reception tendered him by the citizens of Chicopee.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Cloud have met with a great sorrow in the death of their son, Charles 8., April 8, at the Hillcrest Hospital, Pittsfield, Mass. Young Cloud was 31 years old, a graduate of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and Columbia University, and a chemist of unusual promise. During the war he was superintendent of a nitric acid plant in Newark, N. J., which was taken over by the government for military purposes, and his health was destroyed by the constant inhaling of the fumes of nitric acid in the discharge of his daily duties. Gradual impairment of the various organs of the body finally resulted in spinal meningitis, which, developed rapidly to a fatal issue. The burial was at Tyringham, Mass., where the family are now living.

Secretary, William D. Parkinson, State Normal School, Fitchburg, Mass.
