Obituary.
DR. LEONARD J. 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.

Surpnypout ‘uneyoszeeyy Jo Aztyenb ysouy ut edid
Alumni in Scranton to Organize.
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.
