poet, died Wednesday, Dec. 29, at the
home of his son-in-law, Thomas W.
Mather, principal of the Boardman
Training School in New Haven, at the
age of 85. He was born in London
in 1812, and after serving an apprentice-

Linton a Master of Arts. He was a

A Tribute to Marshall Newell.
Walter B. Gage of Worcester, Har-
vard, ’94, who roomed with the late
Marshall Newell through his College
course at Cambridge, writes to the
Springfield Republican as follows:
“The grief caused by the sudden and
sad death of Marshall Newell is beyond
expression. His loss is appreciated by
not only his College companions and
hosts of friends throughout the coun-
try, but by persons who have merely
heard his name. What significance is
attached to the words ‘Ma Newell’!
While to a great many his distinguish-
ing mark is his unparalleled athletic
career, the real ‘Ma’ is recognized in
the lasting effect of his moral influence.
Every word and every action in his
daily routine exemplified a determined.
and conscientious simplicity—to watch
him for five minutes was to learn a les-
son never to be forgotten. The value
of his acquaintance is inestimable. He
was at once serious and overflowing
with good nature; quiet, steady, reli-
able as the day, generous beyond com- THE MURRAY HILL HOTEL,
