in final examination for admission to

was unsurpassed. See!
Mr. Barber was conscientious and
thoroughly reliable in all his relations.
He enjoyed the entire confidence of
the Court and of every member of the
Bar. His word was as good as his
bond. No one stood higher in the con-
fidence and esteem of those who best
knew him. His loss to. this Court, Bar
and community will be sincerely felt
and sincerely regretted.”
DR W. E. LOCKWOOD, ’83 S.
William Ellison Lockwood, M.D.,
died in Redlands, California, June 23,
1897, at the age of 34 years. He was a
graduate of Yale,=S.S.S., 783, and of
the Yale Medical School, ’85.
Dr., Lockwood was born in North
Stamford, Conn. His early years were
passed in the adjoining town of Stam-
ford, where his father now resides.
Entering college at the age of seven-
teen, he was recognized by his instruc-
tors as a diligent and thorough stu-
dent, careful and exact in all his work,
with an ambition that far excelled his
strength, and with a will that knew no
obstacles in his way to success. Hav-
ing completed his medical studies and
received his degree, he opened an office
in New Haven and practiced medicine
for two years. On June 30, 1887, he
was married to Miss Sara E. Husted,
a teacher in the New Haven High
School and afterwards well known as
the author of “Lockwood’s lessons in
English,” a text-book published by
Ginn & Co.
For three years after his marriage
Dr. Lockwood devoted much of his
time to the special study of physiology,
which he hoped to make his life-work.
While prosecuting his studies for the
degree of Ph.D., he was engaged as
instructor in chemistry and later in
physiology in the Yale Medical School.
In 1891, he was appointed fellow in
physiology at Clark University, Wor-
cester, Mass., where he broke down in
health from over-work, just as a suc-
cessful scientific career seemed assured
to him. So complete was the collapse
that it resulted in the overthrow of all
his plans and purposes—a disappoint-
ment which he accepted with Christian
fortitude and bore with heroic patience
to the end.
Several years before, he had met
with an injury to his knee, from which
he had never recovered; and during his
long illness in Worcester it became ap-
parent that tuberculosis had developed
in the knee joint and that amputation
of the leg above the knee-joint would
be necessary to save his life. In June,
1892, the operation was performed at
St. Luke’s Hospital, New York, with
the result of great benefit to his gen-
eral health. A few months later, Dr.
Lockwood removed with his family to
Redlands, Cal., in the hope that the
mild climate and out-door occupation
might prolong his davs. This hope
was, in a measure, realized. For nearly
five years he was spared to his family in
a comfortable degree of health, and he
found many opportunities of enjoyment
and usefulness in his life of exile. He
planted an orange grove and built a
beautiful home on the heights’ over-
looking the city of Redlands, devoting
much of his time to the cultivation and
improvement of his ranch, and winning
the ‘respect and admiration of all who
knew him by the manly courage with
which he accepted the defeat of his
cherished purposes and made the best
of life under his hard limitations. He
was deeply interested in the public
schools of Redlands, and during nearly
two terms of service as Trustee and
Clerk of the Board he did much to
advance their interests. For three
years and a half he served as Clerk of
the First Congregational Church, an
office which he filled with his usual
exactness and careful attention to de-
tails. Thwarted in his life purposes, he
ever remained true to his high sense of
duty. He did what he could and did
it well. His death was sudden, result-
ing from a series of hemorrhages: but
it was the death of a Christian. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Dr. S. R. Dennen, of Long Beach,
Cal., formerly pastor of the old Third
Church in New Haven, where the de-
ceased was a regular attendant during
his college days.
Dr. Lockwood leaves a widow and
two children—Lucy May, nearly seven
years of age, and William Ellison, ar,
aged three. The family will continue
to reside in Redlands.

DR. GUY V. THOMPSON.
The death occured on Saturday, Oct.
2, at Boulder, Colorado, of Guy V.
Thompson, who was for several years
a member of the Latin Faculty of Yale.
Death resulted from pulmonary tuber-
culosis, of which symptoms developed
last Spring. Dr. Thompson went to
Colorado to restore his health, and be-
came connected with the Latin Depart-
ment of the University of Colorado.
In the Summer, however, before begin-
ning his work there, he had a relapse,
after which he failed very rapidly.
DR. GUY V. THOMPSON,
Dr. Thompson was graduated from
the University of Colorado in 1888, and
a few years later took the degree of
PhD at’ Yale.--In 1892 ‘he. was: ap:
pointed to the Latin Faculty.
On December last he was married in
Berlin to Miss Uhl, daughter of former
United States Ambassador Uhl.
Students, members, of the Faculty,
and very many other residents of New
Haven, have joined in the expressions
of very deep sorrow on the receipt
of this news. Dr. Thompson could not
fail to win the respect of those with
whom he came in contact, by his, court-
esy and his dignity of manner. His dis-
position was a very social one, and he
saw much of the younger men in the
es inane and they were very fond of
im.
At the time the WEEKLY goes to
press the details in regard to the funeral
have not been received at New Haven.
. JOSHUA W. ALLEN, ’88.
On: Mitdaye Oct. ast, at aoa, ius
occurred the death, at his home in
Hartford, of Joshua W. Allen, ’88.
This was after an illness of three
months, whose exact nature was never
understood by his physicians. It was
some trouble with his head, and one
operation was performed in July for
the removal of a diseased nerve. This
afforded very little relief and another
operation was intended, if Mr. Allen’s
condition should warrant it.
Mr. Allen was graduated from the
Hartford High School in the Class’ of
Fighty-Three and from Yale College in
Eighty-Eight. In 1889 he became con-
nected with the Hartford Theological
Seminary, first serving as Assistant
Registrar and later as Secretary to the
Executive Committee. Since 1889 his
duties included the supervision of the
Seminary buildings, care of many col-
lections and accounts, and many details
of administration on behalf of both
Trustees and the Faculty. His work
for the Seminary was so much appre-
ciated that in June, 1806, he was elected
a member of the Board of Trustees.
He was very active in the manage-
ment of the Choral Union of Hartford
and later was chief promoter of the
Hartford School of Music. He was
a member of the Center Church and an
active member of the Yale Alumni
Association of Hartford County, one of
the Executive Committee of the Rep-
publican Club and a member of the
Colonial Club.
Mr. Allen leaves a wife who was Miss
Lucy Mather Brace, and three children.
The funeral services were at his
father’s residence at three o’clock Mon-
day afternoon.
The facts here printed will show the
position taken in Hartford by Mr.
Allen. Mr. Henry C. Robinson, ’53,
expressed the feeling towards him in a
letter to the Hartford Courant, from
which the following extract is made:
He was sunny and scattered sun-
shine about him: he was honest and
scouted meanness and duplicity; he
was generous and had little toleration
for malice and selfishness. He was a
sincere follower of his divine Master,
but had no fellowship with the Phari-
see. He was strong and affectionate
in his many attachments, and unmis-
takably earnest in his few antipathies.
While broad and catholic in his ac-
quaintance, he was discriminating in
his friendships, and had no place in his
intimacies for a scoundrel or a bully.
He was respected and esteemed by his
business associates, who called him Mr.
Allen. He was loved by his large cir-
cle of warm friends, who called him
“Josh.” Less than two weeks ago the
writer spent a half hour at his bedside.
The grasp of his hand was strong, his
hopes were buoyant, and his courage
unbroken; he was natural in his dis-
play of humor and in enjoying it. It
seemed so unlikely then that he would
so soon be with the dead. He was a
manly fellow, a useful citizen, and a
companion who added to the number
of good things, and his life was a bless-
ing to the world that he touched, and
had fitted him for usefulness here; it
has-fitted him, too, for the good activi-
ties—whatever they may be—on _the
other side.”
EDWARD C. BISSELL, ’Q2.
Edward C. Bissell died at his home
at Lakeville, Conn., August 21, 18097.
Mr. Bissell was graduated from the
Academical Department in 1892 and in
1894 from the New York Law School.
He was the son of Dr. William Bissell
of the class of ’53. For about three
years, Mr. Bissell has been in poor
health. “
G. -W. BROWN, ’99.
George William Brown, ’99, of Bos-
ton, died of typhoid fever at Pittsfield,
Mass., September 3. He had almost
recovered, when a _ special exertion
brought on a relapse.
BENSON EVERETT, ’90.
On Thursday, July 8th, at Kings-
ton, New York, Benson Everett, Class
of Ninety-Nine, was drowned while
trying to rescue a boy of twelve, who
had gotten beyond his depth. He
reached the boy, but was not able to.
bring him ashore, disappearing when
he was about half way in.

Most of the Students of Yale
are preparing to earn their own livelihood—some in professions—
others in the
BUSINESS WORLD.
Many of these on leaving the University will want to know what
will best promote their prospects in a business way. A young man
receives the best general education at Yale, but even after graduating
he may need to specialize in the vocation he intends to follow. In
preparing for a business career it is of course advantageous for him to
fit himself adequately for his chosen pursuit. |
Many College men have found profit in taking one or more of
our special courses, It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose thai
others would be glad to know of
