BOwdoin Tribute :,
to Late Boston Police
Head, a Graduate

Brunswick, Me. Apr. 3O-(Spec-
ial)-An impressive memorial ser
vice for Edwin Upton Curtis. late
police commissioner of Boston and a
graduate of Bowdoin college in the
| class of 1882. was held at the college
chapel this afternoon. The services
were attended by practically the en-
tire student body and members of
the faculty as well as by members of
Mr.. Curtis class and other alumni
of the college. President Kennel
c. NJ. Sils delivered the address, re-
viewing the life of the deceased.
In concluding the service President
Sills read the following letter:

Washington, Apr. Is, 1922.
Dear Mr.. President:
Your favor informing me that a
memorial exercise would be con-
Quoted for the late Edwin L. Curtis
has been received. 1t would be a
great satisfaction if l could be pres
ent. Mir. Curtis was a friend of many
years standing. and always a faith
full friend. lie had been all of his
mature years interested in public at
fairs, sometimes in an official posi-
ton, and sometimes as private
citizen. He had been mayor, collec-
tor of the port and police commits
sloner of Boston. He was a man of
| judgment, tact and courage. 1t was
he who, at great personal peril, was
willing to uphold the authority of
Ia in ha
| Boston in the late summer Of 1919.
He insisted on bringing to trial those
| who disobeyed the rules of the de-
| partment. When this resulted in a
| large part of the force leaving him.
! although in a state of health then
seriously impaired, he personally re-
| organized his force by adding II of
| 10 hundred new mem bers. He stayed
with it until the end. Without the
action he took, the situation could
not have been saved.
| 1t is the silent, self-sacrificing SER
| vice of men like Edwin L. Curtis on
| which rests the stability Of civiliza-
ton. His work helped stabilize the
world. 1t is altogether fitting that
the college which helped to inspire
him with his ideals should comment
crate his life. What he did, others
! will do. What he taught, others will
learn. He was a great man, a fitting
representative of great college.
Very truly yours.
