He was always prominent in athletics, being him. self skllful player, and to all things con nected with the college he gave his hearty interest and support. But it was his lovable character which endeared him and made him real friend to everyone whom he knew. His associates have lost friend who cannot be replaced. At o'clock the senior class met and passed resolutions of sorrow and at 2 short services were conducted by the president in the chapel, after which the remains were taken to New York, the class accompanying them to the depot. The funeral will take place on Thursday.

The star speakers at the anniversary | were the Revs. CaIkins and Gould, former pastors of the church. Calkins was the most 'tstarry'' of all. Not only his vehementl eIoquence and his native tal- ent, but his present pastorate favored him. He came from the town and church whence | came Thomas Hooker and church to Hart ford.
