1892

Randall and I had our annual get-to-gether at the Rhode Island State Teachers Convention in October. He related the following incident in regard to Brigham, which throws a bright light upon his character. Frank Wilkins, who had entered with 'ga from Hancock, N. H., was taken with typhoid fever in the spring of his senior year and died before the class was graduated. Brigham, who roomed with Wilkins in the Viau house, gave up his class work and devoted his whole time to nursing Wilkins, with the result that he himself contracted the disease and was ill at Commencement time so did not receive his diploma with us. Since sending my class letter I have had two other tributes to the helpful spirit Brigham always showed to those he could aid.

He will retire at the close of the school year.
