In Memoriam

1881

WILLIAM BRADFORD GREELEY, the last surviving member of the Class of 1881, died at his home 230 Drake Ave., New Rochelle, N. Y., on August 14.

"Horace" as he was known in college was born in Nashua, N. H., November 1, 1859, the son of Edward H. and Louisa Maria (Ware) Greeley. Preparing for college at Concord High School it was natural that he should choose Dartmouth where his father had graduated in 1845 and his brother Edward in 1876, and his brother Arthur was to graduate in 1883.

In college, like the other members of his family, he was a member of Psi Upsilon. A member of Phi Beta Kappa he was chosen as Commencement speaker.

After graduation he taught for one year at Kimball Union Academy and for two years at Hudson Grammar School, Woburn, Mass. In 1884 he became a member of the examining corps of the U. S. Patent Office and continued there while he studied law at Columbia, from which he received his LL.B. in 1886 and LL.M. in 1887. He then began the practice of law in New York City and in 1885 became a partner in the firm of Redding & Kiddle which later became Redding, Greeley, O'Shea and Campbell, with which he was associated until his retirement in 1941.

A lover of the out-of-doors, he was a member of the Camp Fire Club of America and served as a member of its committee on Conservation of Forests and Wild Life. He was a member of the board of directors of the American Game Protective Association and the American Forestry Association and the National Parks Association. He was a member of various bar associations. For ten years he served on the New Rochelle Board of Education and was chairman of the Republican city committee. Always a loyal and active alumnus he had served his class as agent and secretary since 1037 -

On April 15, 1891, he was married to Sara Noble Burleigh who died in 1910. On September 7, 1912 he married Mrs. Mary Jaffray Caird.

He is survived bv his sons Briard N. Greeley '19, Bradford W. Greeley, and his daughter Mrs. Katherine G. Atwater.

1894

EDWIN VICTOR SPOONER died at the Maine General Hospital July 4, as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage with which he had been stricken eleven days before. He was in his 78th year.

Let him tell why he came to Dartmouth: "The head of the Hudson High School was a Dartmouth graduate and he influenced Taylor, Trow, Parker and myself to go there." Of these only Parker is now livinp:. His fraternity was Sigma Chi. Among "other organizations" he lists "college orchestra.

He once modestly summed up his years by savin""' "A. nuiet. h'aopv. uneventful but verybusy life. That's all." But it may be divided into three very interesting parts.

First after taking graduate work at Harvard and in Paris he began a career of 43 years as a teacher of modern languages. With a period of preparation at Bridgton Academy, Maine Detroit University School, and Lawrenceville School, he settled down for his life work as teacher of French and subsequently head of his department at Phillips Exeter Academv for 28 years. He has been described as a "born teacher." He led his pupils to master their subjects but quite as much to master themselves. "He allowed no consideration of personal comfort to prevent his giving help wherever he could."

Second, in 1902 he founded Long Lake Lodge in North Bridgton, Maine, as a summer tutoring camp and for 37 years he developed a faculty, a standard of instruction and a degree of satisfaction on the part of the boys who went there and the parents who sent them, which placed it in the forefront of schools of this sort anywhere in the country. On his retirement in 1939 he sold the camp to the men who had worked with him so long and it was incorporated.

Third, when he retired he began to study antique glass and "it wasn't long before his avocation became a vocation. With the devoted help of his sister he accumulated a stock of treasures which is famed from coast to coast and which annually brings hundreds of connoisseurs from great distances."

He was married June 15, 1911 to Frances L. Libby, who survives him. He is also survived by the sister (Miss Ella J.) mentioned above. A memorial service was held at North Bridgton July 7, when an address of quite unusual quality was given by his lifelong friend. Islay F. McCormick, from which several quotations have been taken for this sketch.

1896

Our classmate, HIRAM LEONARD JOHNSON, died in Franco-nia. N. H., on June 12, after a long illness. He had practiced medicine in this area over fifty years.

Hiram was born in Newbury, Vt., on November 26, 1871, the son of Sidney and Mary Johnson. He was graduated from the local Seminary and from Phillips Exeter. He entered Dartmouth in 1892 for an academic course and transferred to the Medical School in his sophomore year, from which he graduated in 1896. He took post graduate work at the Polyclinic in New York and the McLean Lying-in Hospital in Boston.

Hiram went to France in World War I as a Major and served at General Pershing's headquarters in Chaumont. He was a member of the Riley V. Strong Post, American Legion. His many lodge connections through the years included the Masons of which he held the 32nd Degree.

He was a constant and enthusiastic attendant at all class reunions and also was a mighty hunter and a skillful fisherman.

Hiram's career as a country doctor was exemplified by his devotion to the well being of his patients, in all seasons and at all times of day and night. He rendered a service to the community which will be long remembered. Serving for 42 years on the Franconia school board he figured prominently in the growth of Dow Academy. Survivors include the widow, Dr. Sarah Johnson, herself the recipient of an M.D. from Tufts and also a practicing physician; a son Thomas and three grandchildren.

i&97

GEORGE ERNF.ST FOSS died in Concord, N. H. on June 28. Just three weeks earlier he had moved to Pittsfield to make his home with his sister, Mrs. Mark A. Davis.

George was born in Pittsfield, X. H., March 10, 1873, the son of Horace Melvin and Abbie (Green) Foss and prepared for college in the Pittsfield schools. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.

For the first four years after graduation George taught in the schools of Meredith and Dover, N. H. From 1901 to 1914 he was the principal of the Junior High School in Springfield, Mass. In 1914 he became general secretary of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and in 1919 he went to Harrisburg where he served with outstanding success as the general secretary of the Pennsylvania State Chamber of Commerce until his retirement in 1946. As one classmate said, "Foss talks with millionaries and governors as their equal. While public officers rise and fall, Foss remains, and, I suspect, makes public officers."

George was a past president of the Rotary Club of Harrisburg and of the National Association of Commercial Organization Secretaries and was a 32nd degree Mason. Always a loyal and active Dartmouth man he had served as president of the Dartmouth clubs of Springfield and Central Pennsylvania.

On June 28, 1899 George was married to Martha Longfellow Brown who died in 1936. On May 25, 1938 he was married to Olive Anderson Sipe who died in October 1941. He is survived by his son Bradbury P. Foss '25 of 1022 Prince Ave., Athens, Ga., and by one grandson. Calvin W. Foss 'OO was a brother.

1898

EDWARD DUNHAM CHANDLER died at Woodstock, Vt., on May 31, after a long illness from a heart ailment.

Ed was born in Woodstock, October 22, 1875, the son of Dr. Merritt H. and Eva (Dunham) Chandler. He was graduated from Woodstock High School and entered Dartmouth with the class of 1897 becoming a member of the class of 1898 in his senior year and graduated with this class. In college he was a member of Beta Theta Pi and of the college orchestra.

After graduation he was associated with several commercial companies until 1905 when he engaged in farming at Woodstock and continued an this line until 1935 when because of a heart ailment he sold the farm and moved into the village where he was associated with a large warehouse until 1940 when ill health forced him to retire. He was Auditor of Town Accounts from 1920 to 1932, resigning in the latter year.

Probably few Woodstock people of his time were better acquainted throughout a wide area. He drove for his father when Dr. Chandler made many of his rural calls and so Ed became familiar with the miles of country roads around central Windsor county.

He was an enthusiastic worker in home talent shows and was particularly fond of minstrels in which he was especially famed as an end man. That this fame was well deserved was proven at the 40th class reunion which was the first one he had attended. At the class dinner he gave a monologue filled with wit and humor and far surpassed many of those given by professionals.

He is survived by his widow, the former Mae Churchill whom he married in 1905 and by a son William of Woodstock and a daughter Mrs. Robert Whitney of Taftsville.

The interment was in the old family lot in Woodstock where many of his ancestors were buried. Burial was on June 3.

1899

FRANK CLARENCE STALEY died June 23 at San Mateo, Calif. He was born in Omaha, Neb., July 23, 1875. His family moved to Chicago and there he met Henry Hilton '90, who persuaded him to go to Dartmouth. After graduation from North Division High School, he entered college with the class of 1899. Late in his sophomore year, lured by the prospect of riches and adventure in the gold rush to the Klondike, he left college and went to Alaska where he remained until 1903. He acquired little more than adventure and experience there and returned to Chicago in 1903 where he engaged in the insurance business. Later he went to Homestead, Okla. where he worked in a bank and subsequently with the Indian Trading Cantonment for three years. From there he went to Putnam, and thence to Fairview, Okla., where he was an officer in a bank.

In 1917 he engaged in the Farm Loan business in Enid, and in 1918 went to Washington and worked as an executive in charge of a branch of the Statistical Department of the Wartime Food Administration headed by Raymond Pearl. In 1921 he joined the Post Office Department in Washington. John Bartlett, Dartmouth '94, and then First Assistant Postmaster General, was said to be responsible for this connection. Frank was Superintendent of the Dead Letter Division for seven years and Administrative Assistant for sixteen. He retired in 1946 and purchased a home in San Carlos, Calif.

Frank was married in Chicago in 1905 to Pearl Olive Pygman, who survives him together with three sons Roger of Milbrae, Calif., Walter of Mexico, Mo., who graduated from West Point, and Jerome who lives in San Anselmo, Calif.

Funeral services and burial were at Burlingame, Calif, on June 26. There was a floral piece from '99.

In college Frank was popular with his classmates who very much regretted his departure after two pleasant years together. He was a member of DKE, played on the freshman baseball and football teams and on the varsity squads. His outstanding athletic achievem ent was in tennis.

He and his wife Pearl attended some of our reunions and were in frequent contact with the Kendalls during their life in Washington. He occasionally visited classmates in New York and always manifested a warm feeling for '99.

1902

CROSBY TAPPAN died of heart disease at Chambersburg, Pa. on June 23. He was born at Winchester, Mass., September 11, 1880. He entered Dartmouth from Kimball Union Academy with the Class of 1902 and graduated from Thayer School in 1905. He was member of Chi Phi.

ROBERT BRAINARD MOSELEY died in Wash ington, D. C. on June 9 of a multiple throm bosis.

Bob was born in Hyde Park, Mass., November 29, 1880, the son of Randolph Perrow and Josephine (Brainard) Moseley. He worked his way through Dartmouth, mostly as a reporter for the Boston Globe. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi.

Returning to this country he was a business analyst for the Lend Lease Administration from 1941 to 1946, when he went with War Assets Administration. For the last two years he had served as genealogical consultant for the NSDAR.

Bob's funeral was held at the Waterman Chapel in Boston on June 12, and was attended by classmates Austin, Bullock, Charron, Lampee, Maguire, Mower, Sexton and Woods, who paid final tribute to one of the most popular and devoted members of the class.

1905

CHARLES SEYMOUR BORDEN, who was with us in freshman year and then entered his father's business in Chicago lost his wife on June 15. Charlie thereupon suffered a heart attack and nine days later died in the hospital.

Dark, handsome and serious-minded as a student, he was white, handsome and distinguished in business at 69.

His father had founded the butter, egg, poultry, and produce wholesale business in 1879, and eventually, with his two sons and son-in-law participating, it became a large enterprise. Charlie started as a salesman in 1901. By 1917 he had become vice-president and general manager. On his father's death in 1926, the business was incorporated and Charlie became its president. In 1943 it was converted into a partnership with Charlie as senior partner.

During World War I he represented his industry in Washington, and later helped the Chicago authorities in butter conservation. He was also for three years president of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a director and treasurer of the National Poultry, Butter and Egg Association, and a director and secretary of the Central Cold Storage Company of Chicago.

Only six months ago he had written Gib Fall, our class treasurer, that he was very well and was indulging in golf and lawn bowling. He was a member of the Shrine. He was one of the few '05 men recorded in "Who's Who in America."

Charlie had married Mina Shaw a year before we graduated. His son, Seymour S. Bord en, now of Libertyville, Ill., was the first child born in our class. He and his sister, Ruth, now Mrs. Henry Embree (Dartmouth '3O) are both graduates of the University of Chicago. Both have our heartfelt sympathy in this almost simultaneous bereavement.

Another loss this past summer for the Class of 'O5 was VERNON ALFRED BIGGS, of 450 Oak St., Glendale, Calif., who died in his sleep in his home, with no advance illness, on July 3.

Born in LaMoni, lowa, Vernon s career covered Chicago and the West Coast. A handsome, over-modest and dependable fellow, he remained in college only a year. He was a member of Phi Kappa Psi.

He made a career as a salesman of real estate for many years. From 1919-21, he was with the American Radiator as salesman in Chicago and Buffalo. In 1922, he was a sales engineer with the Portland Gas & Coke Company.

Six years later, we find him selling real estate in Pasadena, Calif., and in that business and that city he remained for the next twenty-two years, although changing employers twice. The crash of 1929 and subsequent depression hit him very nard. He entered the Engineering Division of the Army as an auditor, and was stationed in the San Fernando Valley at the California Technical Institute wind tunnel project.

In 1919, he was champion of his Chicago golf club, and later became interested in astronomy.

In IQ2O Vernon married Kate L. Tillotson in Portland, Ore., and she and their daugter, Betty, who was in the movies for a time, her daughter, and his brother survive.

XICI UdUJiillti, anu He was a modest, friendly, and likable pe son.

ROBERT MCCUTCHINS BLOOD passed away on August 4 at his home 498 E. High St., Manchester, N. H. 1906 has lost one of its most loyal members and the newspaper profession one of its outstanding career men. Bob joined up with the Lowell Courier-Citizen upon graduation and devoted the whole of his life to his chosen work.

o UUZ. At college he was a member of Beta Theta Pi and the Dragon Senior society.

After his apprenticeship on the Courier Citizen Bob went to the Boston Globe, then to the Montreal Daily Star and the SyracusePost Standard before landing in Manchester in 1918 as managing editor of the old Manchester Mirror.

In 1920 he joined the Union-Leader as managing editor and news editor of both papers. In 1930 Bob assumed complete charge of the news and editorial staffs of both papers which position he held until 1946 when the properties were sold. He served as executive editor under the new management until ill health forced his retirement.

Bob was active in the Boy Scouts, the Red Cross and numerous other civic organizations. He also served as chairman of the New Engl and Association Press and as N. H. member of the New England Council. In 1938 he received the N. H. department. American Legion, distinguished service medal.

Both his sons, Lt. Nickerson '41, an Army Air Corps pilot and Lt. Rogers '44 of the Marine Corps, were lost in the war.

Bob gave himself untiringly to his work, to the public, to his friends and his family. His classmates will always remember his devoted work as class agent for so many years.

1907

MORRIS KELLOGG SMITH died at the home of his brother, Dr. Thayer A. Smith 10, in Short Hills, N. J. on July 1. He was born in Hanover, the son of Dr. William T. Smith, a fine surgeon and dean of the Dartmouth Medical School and the grandson of Asa D. Smith, a president of Dartmouth College.

During the very early days of his life he gave promise of those characteristics of loy- alty, wholehearted devotion to a cause, never ruffled temperament, modesty and outstanding and distinguished accomplishment, all of which he later possessed to such a high degree.

His record at Phillips Andover Academy and in college confirmed these statements, and his versatility as manifested by his scholastic, athletic, literary, and musical ability was singularly noteworthy. Following graduation from college he entered the Dartmouth Medical School and obtained an M.A. as well as an M.D. j

The same characteristics were predomi- nant in his work as an intern at St. Luke's Hospital in New York City, in his postgraduate work at the University of Tubingen and later as an attending surgeon at St. Luke's and as chief surgeon at Halloran, V. A. Hospital, a position which he held at his death.

At St. Luke's he was given a special assign- ment to study diseases of the thyroid, and he became a leading authority on that subject. He was also an assistant professor of clinical surgery at Cornell Medical School. His contributions to surgical literature were many, varied and excellent.

His loyalty and his dedication to the highest sense of duty were no more clearly defined than by his participation in both world wars. In 1917 he entered the Medical Corps of the U. S. Army as a First Lieutenant, was later made Captain and during his service abroad was assigned to the British, being detailed to the Black Watch Regiment in France.

In World War II "Mike" entered on ac- tive duty as a Major in January 1942, after- wards being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. He became surgical consultant to the Third Army commanded by General Patton and served with him in France and Germany. For this service he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. He returned from the Army with the rank of Colonel.

With unflagging courage and will power he worked actively until five weeks before he died. Memorial services were held at Halloran Hospital and at St. Luke's and a brief service at the cemetery in Hanover. At Halloran an outstanding tribute was read by Alfred P. Upshur, M.D.. manager of the hospital, and in itself the fact that the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish chaplains participated in this service was a mark of noteworthy distinction. The chapels there and at St. Luke's were packed with friends and co-workers from all social strata.

Sam Bartlett, Bill Jennings, Dick Southgate, and Tute Worthen were present in Hanover.

Morris Smith carried on distinguished family traditions in a superb manner adding lustre to them. No more lovable nor beloved character ever lived. As long as anyone survives who ever knew him, he will be sadly missed.

1908

Harry Wilbert Mitchell passed away on June 23 at the home of his daughter in Greenwich, Conn., after several months of failing health with arteriosclerosis and heart trouble. He was buried in Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland on June 26.

"Had" was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and spent most of his life there. He prepared for Dartmouth at Governor Dummer Academy, where he was president of his senior class and football captain.

He attended Dartmouth for two years, was captain of the freshman football team and in sophomore year tried for quarterback on the football team but could not outshine our own Johnnie Glaze. His fraternity was Phi Kappa Psi.

He returned to Cleveland and in 1907 with his father and brother founded the Mitchell Metal Products Company. With this company he remained the rest of his life and was its president at the time of his death.

In 1944 Had was nominated by the Republican voters of his district for State Senator and in 1948 was nominated as Republican candidate for Congress from the 21st District of Ohio, but was unsuccessful in November at both times.

His political and other activities took their toll and his health began to fail shortly after reunion but no one could persuade him to "take it easy." His daughter writes "he was not that kind of a man." A year ago the death of his younger grandson in a sailing accident on Long Island Sound affected him deeply and last January he came east to be with his daughter.

He was married to Emily Diederich of St. Louis in 1916 who passed away in December 1944.. He is survived by his daughter, Mrs. Emily Jane Itypperda Wierdsma of Riverside, Greenwich, Conn., and his older grandson, George 11.

He loved gardening, fishing and music. He was a member of the Fairmount Presbyterian Church in Cleveland and the Mid-day Athletic and Country Clubs.

He always had a soft spot in his heart for Dartmouth and influenced several young men to attend our college.

The class of 1908 lost one of its best known and best liked members when CHARLES NASH SAFFORD died at the Mary Fletcher Hospital in Burlington, Vt., July 23, after being stricken with a heart attack on July 1.

"Queech," as he was affectionately known to his classmates, was born in Queechee, Vt. on September 27, 1886, the son or Henry and Harriet M. (Gates) Safford. "Queech" was a Vermonter all his life in residence and speech and his tall spare figure was a familiar sight at class reunions. He prepared for college at Bordentown Military Institute and spent the full four years with our class.

He started with the Jones & Lamson Ma- chine Company of Springfield, Vt. in 1909 as paymaster and later as purchasing agent. In 1917 he formed a partnership with Fred Lovejoy as The Lovejoy Tool Company, manufacturing metal cutting tools and served as treasurer until 1947 when he became president, which position he was holding at his death. In 1944, while he was treasurer, his company was awarded the Army-Navy "E" for its record in the production of 'metal cutting tools.

"Queech" held many positions in the service of the town and state. He was lister of the Town of Springfield from 1925 to 1941, selectman from 1941 to 1949 and representative from the town to the State Legislature from 1947 to 1949. In 1947 he was appointed to the State Department of Social Welfare and at the time of his death was chairman. He was one of Vermont's outstanding industrialists and a director of the Associated Industries of Vermont.

He served his town in many other ways, having been vice-president of the Springfield Hospital and chairman of the Hospital Board for 18 years, officer and director of the Chamber of Commerce for 25 years, director of the First National Bank of Springfield and of the Springfield Savings and Loan Association and chairman of the Salvation Army.

He was an active outdoor man, interested in mountain climbing, sailing, skiing, golf, football and baseball. He was first president of the Springfield Outing Club and a member for twenty-five years. One of his numerous hobbies was a rose garden which boasted 300 plants and he was secretary-treasurer of the Vermont Rose Society for the last two years. He was a trustee of the First Congregational Church of Springfield and a member of St. Johns Lodge 41 F. & A.M.

On October 9, 1914, he married Elizabeth B. Tidd, who survives him, together with a daughter Rebecca Safford Attridge, wife of Gary T. Attridge, and two granddaughters, Judith Elizabeth Attridge, and Janet Irene Attridge all of Springfield. His home was at 187 Summer St., Springfield.

LUTHER MAXWELL HOWE was born November 13, 1884, in Groton, Mass., but his address while in college was Wakefield. He was the son of the late Charles H. Howe '81, principal of Wakefield High School from 1896 until his death in 1919.

Chubby prepared for Dartmouth at Wakefield High School, graduating in 1904. At college he was a member of the golf team for two years and his fraternity affiliation was Phi Kappa Psi.

He had been a resident of Wakefield for over 50 years and was formerly associated with the A. G. Walton Shoe Factory in Chelsea and more recently with the MorrisonSkinner Company of Wakefield. His wife, Edith Chellis Howe, passed away last November.

He had served on the Wakefield town finance board and town development board. He was at one time assessor of the First Parish Congregational Church and was a member of Souhegan Lodge, I. O. O. F. His death occurred at his home on May 3,1 and funeral services were held on June 2.

He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Frank M. Selander of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. Frank A. Moore of Milford, Conn., and a grandson, Davis Howe Selander of Detroit.

Death has again hit the ranks of 1908, the 85th in the class and the fourth within two months to be reported to the class biographer.

A letter from Mrs. Nichols records the death on July 22 of ANDREW LEACH NICHOLS in the Billings Memorial Hospital of Chicago of diabetes and complications after an illness of several years.

Andy was born in Norwich, Vt. October 22, 1886, the son of Rev. N. R. Nichols, a minister in Norwich for 25 years. He prepared for Dartmouth at Hanover High School and Phillips Exeter Academy and while in college was a member of the track squad.

In 1913 he was appointed a teacher in the Austin High School of Chicago and taught there for 36 years being advanced to instructor in law. In 1949 he was retired due to ill health, but was deeply devoted to his work and greatly attached to his body of students, never giving up his determination to return to his work as teacher. He was a member of the Board of Education of LaGrange, Ill.

Andy attended the University of Chicago Law School several summers and there met Friederika Meseke of Columbus, Ind., whom he married in 1916. Three sons were born to the couple: Frank, who served in the Quartermaster Corps during the second world war, and is now with the Continental Can Company of Chicago; Charles, an orange grower in Maitland, Fla.; and Herbert, counsel for the Western Electric Company of Chicago. The family home is at 4148 Du Bois Blvd., Brookfield, 111.

Funeral services were held in the community church of Congress Park, Ill. July 25, with former fellow teachers of the Austin High School as bearers, with burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery, Maywood, 111.

Park Stickney and Harold Cogswell attended the funeral and flowers were sent for the class.

Space does not permit us to print the fine tribute paid to Sherm by Charlie Griffith who was a fellow neophyte in the 1915 Psi Upsilon delegation, and roomed with Sherm during most of his college course. Playing on the freshman and varsity football squads, with a wide range of interests, studious but not pedantic, with a quiet sense of humor and unfailing loyalty, Sherm made a host of friends.

One of Sherm's many admirable qualities was his love of children. Besides his business success he attained his heart's desire in his own family circle. By his first wife, Mary Elizabeth Bolger, who passed away in 1936, he had five children. Mary Elizabeth (Mrs. Gabriel Mandels) and Corinne Anne (Mrs. Alan Vaughan) graduated from Cornell; Alice graduated from Michigan and Eleanor from the University of Conn.; Sherman, Jr. a member of the Class of 1950 at Dartmouth is now doing graduate work at Columbia. Sherm's second wife, Blanche Arlene Crowley and one son, William Gray, six years old, survive him with his other children and five grandchildren. To them the class conveys its heartfelt sympathy in our mutual loss.

The Class of 1915 holds Sherm in affectionate remembrance and is proud of his interpretation of Dartmouth ideals as exemplified in his life, assuming his share of responsibility in business and community affairs.

"George attended Northwestern University and became very much interested in advertising, especially via radio. As he left school in the midst of the great depression it was not easy to get established. However, he did some very nice work with a couple of leading companies in Chicago. He married Virginia Stewart and enjoyed a very happy home, but had no children. He was taken from us so soon as a result of cancer. I need not say, my life has been greatly saddened."

We are indebted to his mother for this sad news and for some in the class who knew him well this will come as a decided shock. The final line of Mrs. Schmid's letter echoes all our sentiments.
