had recently shown signs of improve-
ment and on leaving his home in New
York a few weeks ago, it was hoped
that after a short time, he might be
able to make a trip to Europe. The
change for the worge set in three days
before his death.

from Yale in the class of 1874. Imme-

sympathy and helpfulness. His affec-
tion for his College was shown in the
most practical manner, and to his
work Yale largely owes the Gymna-
sium. He was for many years an Offi-
cer of the Yale Alumni Association of
New York City.
The funeral took place at Weatogue
on Monday afterncon.
The New York Tribune of Sunday
said, editorially:
‘Arthur M. Dodge, who died on Fri-
day night after a long illness, endured
with cheerful fortitude, was an ex-
ample of perfect fidelity in all the re-
lations of life. He was generous, joy-
ous, hospitable, affectionate. He dear-
ly loved his family, his heme, his
friends, his College and his country.
He was always helpful to his fellow-
men, less by a conscious effort than
through the sweetness of a nature
that could not be unkind. His death
will grieve many hearts and sadden
many lives.’’
JOHN FRANK BABCOCK, ’85.S.
‘John Frank Babcock, ’85S., died on
the evening of July 9th, 1856, at his
home in Elmira, aged thirty-three
years. After graduating from the
High School in Elmira he took a
year’s course at Mt. Pleasant Acad-
emy on the Hudson. Later, after pre-
paring himself at Williston Seminary,
East Hampton, Mass., he entered the
Sheffield Scientific School in 1882, and
was graduated with the class of 1885
‘‘Sheff.”’
He was a friend whose friendship
became continually more valuable. His
prospect in life was from every stand-
point very bright and those who knew
him have reason to feel keenly his un-
timely death.
