On March 19 FRANK HENRY NOYES passed away at his home, 14 North Avenue, Melrose, Mass.

Frank was born September 28, 1875 in Enfield, N. H. Small was the town but big were Frank's aspirations.

He was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa. A skilled debater, he possessed pronounced literary taste and was a frequent contributor to the Dartmouth Literary Monthly. After a brief career in teaching, Frank found his forte in legal affairs. In 1900 he was admitted to the Bar of Massachusetts, and continued as a prominent lawyer in Boston until 1960.

Although he had acquired an LL.B. at Suffolk Law School after earning a master's degree in education from Harvard, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his teaching career until his retirement in 1948.
