SANFORD, ’58 HON. Dr. Leonard J. Sanford, ’58 Hon., died on Saturday, Dec. 12, at his home on Crown street, in this city, after more than a week’s illness from heart failure. From his residence and practice in New Haven and his long connection with Yale as professor and lecturer, Dr. San- ford was known to a very large number of graduates. Dr. Sanford was born in New Haven, Nov. 8, 1883. He studied at the Yale Medical College, and also at the Jeffer- son Medical College. where he obtained his degree in 1854. Since then he has lived in New Haven. He wasa member of the American Medical Association and of the American Academy of Medicine. In 1858, Yale conferred on him the degree of A.M. Five years later he was elected Professor of Anatomy and of Physiology in the Medical Department. He held that chair till quite recently. For. many years he was lecturer on physiology and hygiene in both the academic and scientific departments of Yale University. In April, 1866, Dr. Sanford married Miss Anne M., daughter of the late William Cutler of this city. Mrs. San- | ford died four years ago. Three children survive, the Misses Adeline and Susan Sanford, and Dr. Leonard C. Sanford of this city. At the funeral on Tuesday Dr. New- man Smyth, said, in the course of a memorial address: “This mental firmness, with sunny open-mindedness, he carried with him not only into the church, but into his life-work as a physician. He had his V7 Ee ee eS To own definite habits of practice, yet he would consult with the newest knowl- edge, and while He was visiting in our houses, or, aS a physician, would write hig prescriptions; he himself as a man did us good like a medicine. He not only used in our service his knowl- edge of the ma ria medica, but also, as our family physician, he would take time and pains to place at our dis- posal his store of almost encyclopedic information concerning many little things, in themselves trivial, but often very helpful to mothers in their care, and comforting to the sick, and some- times, touches of medical slkxill, offer- ing just the sheltering hand needed to save from utter going out the flicker- ing life of some little child. These are, | am aware, the coming days of specialists, and I question not the knowledge which, by its own variety and vastness, renders specialization a necessity of medical work; but still, though trained specialists shall wait for our every call of emergency, we shall need ir. our homes, as we hold in honor today, the family physician, our friend, our trusted counsellor, our helper in lif2 and in death. “One other trait of Dr. Sanford as a successful physician I must not leave unnoticed, a trait of the physician which likewise belonged first and last to his character as aman. In his kindly judgment and helpful speech of other doctors, he respected the first re- quirements of the ethical code of an honorable profession. It is due to our common selfishness, or, perhaps in part to the fierceness of the competition throughout our whole modern life be- tween men whko should be brethren, that we must regard it as a virtue when one always is disposed to speak well and helpfully of those who are engaged in his own calling or in his special line of work. Dr. Sanford had this virtue of professional generosity in all its exec2llence. It, too, came from the larger Christlikeness of his faith and hope for all men. For he was pe- culiarly among us, in the church and in his profession, a reconciler of men; and his ministry among us all—was it not a ministry of reconciliation? Hav- ing met him often in relations in which I bad to enquire of him concerning pa- tients of other physicians, I have never heard him speak except in kindliness and with friendly reserve of criticism of other doctors. He had the virtue of loving to see others succeed in his own work.” GEORGE IL. CATLIN, ’60. George L. Catlin, 60, died at St. Luke’s Hospital, New York, on Mon- day of this week, while undergoing an operation, Mr. Catlin. was formerly United States Consul to Zurich, Swit- zerland. The Weekly will print an Obituary of Mr. Catlin in its next issue. WHEELER ARMSTRONG, JR., 796. - Wheeler Armstrong, Jr., 96, of Rome, N. Y., died November 12th, at a pri- vate asylum in Hartford, Conn. His illness began during his Senior year at College. He was taken out of Col- lege just before the June examinations by his parents, but in consideration of good work during the four years, the Faculty nevertheless granted him his degrees. He improved in health dur- ing the Summer until about a week before his death, when quick consump- ~tion set in from which he died. The funeral took place from the home of his parents ab Rome N= YY. At Col- lege he was of a quiet and retiring dis- position, but stood well in his classes. The following letter has been ad- dressed to the mother by classmates living in the City of Chicago, Ill.:— Chicago, Hil., Nov. 28th, 1896. Mrs. Wheeler Armstrong, Dear Madam:—We take the sorrow- ful privilege to express our very great sympathy for you in the sad loss which you suffer in the death of your son Wheeler. As his classmates in Col- lege, we learned to appreciate his kindly qualities of mind and heart, his good nature, his generous dispo- sition, and his unusual unselfishness of character. We feel a deep person- al loss in his death, and wish to give our heartfelt testimony to the esteem in which we hold the memory of our departed friend and classmate. Yours sincerely, William S. Miller, N. Williams, Jr. Fred A. Forbes, Bertram J. Cahn, Henry D. Baker, Troy S. Kinney, John C. Hollister, Thos. G.

The following letter, which explains itself, has been sent to the thirty- eight Yale graduates residing in Scranton, Pa.:— Scranton, Pa., Dec. 12th, 1896. Dear Sir:—At the request of a num-'° ber of prominent Yale men, the un- dersigned invite you to be present in. the office of Colonel H. M. Boies on Friday evening, December 18th, 1896, at eight o’clock. The purpose of this meeting will be the formation of a ‘“‘Yale Alumni As- sociation of Scranton, Pa.’ If enough of the true “Yale’’ spirit is shown to warrant the organization of this As- sociation, a committee will be ap- pointed to make arrangements for a dinner to be held some time in Feb- ruarv. If unable to be present at this meet- ing, the undersigned will esteem it a great favor if you will kindly give them your views on this subject. Would not a glimpse of “‘those hap- py golden bye-gone days”? seem bright after the late ‘‘New Jersey clouds’? Yours truly, EVERETT WARREN, ’81, JAMES W. OAKFORD, ’84. ALBERT G. HUNT, ’87, JOSEPH M.
