’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.”

*60.—A Buffalo paper recently made
the following remarks concerning the
election of a member of the Yale Cor-
poration to succeed Edward G. 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-

remodel the hcuse, the contract being
given to William EF. Fullam, of North
Brookfield. 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. Mr. Chamberlain’s return to his

old acquaintances who still remain in

Obituary.
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, |
