Obituary.
THOMAS P. SCOVELL, 736.
Thomas Porter Scovell, 386, one of
the oldest, best known and most high-
ly respected citizens of Lewiston, Me.,
died at the old Scovell homestead at
Oak Hill, August 6, 1896, of paralysis.
He was 82 years old.
Mr. Scovell was born in Palmyra,
N. Y., in 1814, and went to Lewiston
in 1837, where he had since lived for
upwards of 60 years. His father, Dr.
Seymour Scovell, was among the
early settlers on the Niagara Frontier
and was the builder of the locks at
Lockport, N. Y. The deceased was a
graduate at Yale college in the class
of 736 and delivered the valedictory on
that occasion. During the patriot
war in 1837, he started a paper in
Lockport known as the Frontier Sen-
tinel, which dropped out of existence
when the cause needed no further
defense. In 1839 the Niagara Demo-
crat passed into his hands and was
edited published by him until 1846,
when it was transferred to Messrs.
Turner and McCollum of Lockport.
Mr. Scovell held the office of town
clerk of Lewiston, Me., for a period
extending over 40 years, being elected
continuously on all tickets. He re-
signed in 1892 on account of feeble
health. He also filled the office of
village clerk and clerk of the school
district for a number of years and
was the trusted special agent of the
Aetna Fire Insurance company of
Hartford, Conn., for nearly half a
century. Mr. Scovell was a devoted
student, a linguist of rare ability and
possessed a fine literary taste. He
was kind and generous in disposition
and was of strict integrity and uni-
versally beloved.
MOSES LYON, 759.
The death of Moses Lyon, ’59, oc-
curred on Friday, Nov. 13, at his home
in Philadeiphia, Pa.
Mr. Lyon was the oldest living
graduate oof — the class of *59.
On leaving College, he began
traveling through Europe and the East
and then went to London, where he
became engaged in the mill-furnish-
ing business. In 1890, he returned to
this country and procured for him-
self a home in Philadelphia, where he
spent the last few years of his life.

Alumni Association of Oregon,
A Yale Alumni Association of Ore-
gon was organized at a meeting held
November 6, at the office of Durham,
Platt & Platt in Portland, Oregon.
An organization was. perfected, of
which Robert T. Platt, ’89, was elected
President, and H. F. Conner, ’98S.,
Secretary. Steps were also taken to-
ward holding a dinner in the near fu-
ture, and an Executive Committee
consisting. of J...W. Hill, °78: R. T.
Platt, ’89, and H. F. Conner, ’93S., was
appointed for that purpose.
It was decided to admit to member-
ship graduates, living in that portion
of Washington contiguous to the Co-
lumbia river, and they, as well as any
graduates residing in Oregon, would
confer a favor by addressing the Sec-
retary, H. F. Conner, Box 47, Port-
land, Oregon.

Ninety-four Class Boy.
In a letter of November 11, to the
class secretary of Ninety-four, George
M. Crawford, of. Topeka, Kansas, an-
nounced the birth of the Class Boy,
George Marshall Crawford, Jr., who
was born August 19th, 1896. Last
Spring James W. Cantwell, who grad-
uated from Baylor University, in
Texas, in 1893, and entered Ninety-
four at the beginning of Senior year,
announced the birth of his son. The
Ninety-four Cun Committee, H. B.
Perkins, Jr., A. T. Harrington and T.
L. Polk, after conferring with a num-
ber of graduates and members of the
class, decided that it would be con-
trary to recognized precedent to
award the cup to the son of one who
had not taken his’ entire course at
Yale. The cup was, therefore, with-
held from Mr. Cantwell, but will be
awarded to Mr. Crawford at the class
supper to be held on the evening of
June 29th, of 1897.
