ALUMNI NOTES. Conducted by JoHN Jay. [ Graduates are invited to contribute to this column.) —— ’20—In regard to the refusal of the State Legislature to grant a pension to Dr. Henry Barnard, the Hartford Courant said on the day following the decision: “The representatives of the Connecticut towns say ‘No’ to the modest request proffered by the friends of Dr. Barnard. The doctor has asked for nothing. He has not appeared in the matter as a petitioner—much less a mendicant. His friends thought the State might well make good to him, in his old age, his actual expenditures for the State’s benefit. The Senate thought so. The House thinks not, and that settles it. The case is closed, as far as the State is concerned, and harsh words will be worse than useless. The true course for the venerable educator’s friends now is to accept the decision as final and in the light of it to consider their own position and duty. Certainly his claims upon their gratitude, indi- vidual and collective, have not been lessened in any way by yesterday’s vote at the Capitol.” *58—Hon. Andrew D. White, L.L. D., has been appointed Ambassador of the United States to Germany. *56—Justice David J.

Mason, Esq., of Chicago: “There is little doubt that Mr. Mason will be his own successor, and he should be. He has been one of the working men of the Corvoration, is among the leading lawyers in Chicago, is a gentleman of rare culture, and wide popularity. More than all, he has had ten boys, all of whom have been or are to be graduated at the University, and ‘forty years at Yale’ deserves rec- ognition.” *62—-Ex-Governor D. H. Chamberlain, who will leave his New York law prac- tice and settle in West Brookfield, Mass., May 1, has bought the farm owned by his brother, L. H. Chamber- lain, in that town.

Preparations have begun for clearing the ground where he will locate a large barn with all modern im- provements. The farm is one of the finest in the town, being situated on high ground, just north of the town, and overlooks Wickaboag pond, and when remodeled according to Mr. Chamberlain’s plans, will be a fine dairy farm. The present house is sit- uated within a few rods of the house where Mr. Chamberlain was born. It is understood that his brother, L. H. Chamberlain, will be his superintend- ent.

JOSEPH F. GRIGGS, 46. Joseph F. Griggs, one of the oldest and best known educators of Western Pennsylvania, died at Pittsburg, April ki: Prof. Griggs was born in Sutton, Mass., April 24, 1822. He was gradua- ted from Yale in 1846 and entered An- dover Theological Seminary but was compelled by ill health to abandon his studies there. In 1849 he opened a school for boys in ‘Allegheny, Penn. A. H. Childs, ’61, was one of his first pu- pils. In 1855 this school was merged with the Western University of Penn- sylvania and Professor Griggs took the chair of ancient language. For 15 vears he taught Latin and Greek, and for 10 years Greek alone. In 1880 he was made Secretary and Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, continuing in this office until 1892; when an attack of paralysis compelled his retirement. Pro- fessor Griggs had been an elder in the Third Presbyterian Church for 35 years and was one of Pittsbureg’s most hon- ored and useful citizens. DANIEL T. POTTER, 758. The following obituary notice of Dan- iel Tertius Potter, ’58, who died at Hartford, Conn., December 22, 1895, has been contributed by the Class Secre- tary: “Mr. Potter, son of Tertius Dan‘el and Esther Barnes (Frisbie) Potter, was born in Plymouth, Conn., January 18, 1829. He was prepared for college at Williston Seminary, East Hampton, and at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., and entered the Class of ’57, September 18, 1858, but left December 6, 1853, and entered the Class of ’58, September 13, 1854. “Tn 1858 he studied elocution and Ger- man in New Haven. In 1859 he taught in Peekskill, N. Y., and in Hartford, Conn., and studied in Plymouth. eke 1860 he studied law in Hartford, and studied and taught in Rocky Hill, Conn. In 1861 he studied in Hartford, and taught in Illinois and Wisconsin. a In 1862 he taught in Waukesha, Wis., and in 1863, in St. Louis, Mo. In July, 1868, he received the degree of M. A. from Yale. In 1864 he taught and was in a law Office in St. Louis. In 1865 he taught a public school in St. Louis until December 11, when he was admit- ted to the bar, and practiced in St. Louis. “HWrom September, 1874, until Decem- ber, 1876, he was proprietor, editor and publisher in St. Louis of the Insurance Law Journal, a monthly publication of eighty pages, devoted to the law of in- surance companies and other corpora- tions. Among other things it contained the decisions of the Supreme Courts of the United States and of each of the States in cases affecting corporations. These decisions were published in ad- vance of the court reports. So far as its character was concerned it was a suc- cess, but it required too much of Mr. Potter’s personal attention, and he therefore sold it to C. Cc. Hine, of New York city, by whom it was still pub- lished in September, 1883. He continued the practice of law in St. Louis, Mo., from December, 1875, until June. 7, 1877, when he left for Deadwood, Dakota Territory, where he arrived June 30, and was engaged in the practice of law and in mining business. In October, 1883, he moved to Spearfish, and in De- cember formed a law partnership with J. V. Offenbacher, as Potter & Offen- pacher. In October, 1895, attacked sud- denly by heart disease, he came to Con- necticut, and died in Hartford at the age of 66. He never married.” JOHN F. QUIGLEY, "715. The death of John F. Quigley, ’715., occurred suddenly at his home in Wil- mington, Del., on March 27. He pre- pared for college at Lawrenceville, N. J.. and took the Civil Engineering course in the Sheffield Scientific School, from which he graduated in 1871. He then practiced his profession, and in connection with his father, built the Machinery, Agricultural, United States and several smaller buildings at the Centennial Exposition Grounds at Phil- adelphia. Soon after the Centennial he went into the manufacture of wood pulp. Mr. Quigley leaves a widow, | CLARENCE WETHERILL, 772.

He was fitted for college by a private tu- tor and entered Yale the second term of Freshman year with the class of ’72. After graduating he studied law in the office of Richard C. MecMurtrie until he was admitted to the bar.
