The Rev. Birdsey Grant Northrop,
"41, died of heart trouble, at his home

Grant and Aurelia (Curtis) Northrop,
and was born in Kent, Conn., July 18,

REV. B. G. NORTHROP, ’4I.
of 1835, but left after a year on account
of illness. He entered the Class of
Forty-One in Sophomore year and after
graduation took a post graduate course
and entered the Theological School in
the Fall of 1842. From 1857 to 1866
(except ten months) Mr. Northrop was
an agent of the Massachusetts Board
of Education. In 1867 he became Sec-
retary of the Connecticut Board of
A ee a post which he held until
1883.
His efforts in behalf of a_ better
knowledge of forestry in this country
led to the institution of “Arbor Day,”
and his work in founding village im-
provement societies entitles him to the
name of the originator of the move-
ment.
Dr. Northrop was a member of the
Board of Visitors at West Point, 1863-4;
President of the American Institute of:
Instruction, 1864-6; of the National
Association of School Superintendents,
1866; of the National Educational Asso-
ciation, 1873. In 1872 he received the
degree of LL.D., and he presided at
the unveiling of the statue of Rector
Pierson, June 24, 1874. ;
A large part. of the early impetus
toward education in Japan was due to
Dr. Northrop, who was also a prolific
writer on agricultural subjects.
On February 18, 1846 he married
Miss Harriette E. Chichester. Five
children were born to them, of whom
two, Henry Evans Northrop, ’76, and
Harriette; wife of Dwight Holbrook,
survive. sett

his home in Denver, Col., on Tuesday,
April 19th, 1898. He had been an inva-
lid for many years, suffering much from
asthma. | |
Mr. Dimock was born at North
Mansfield, Conn., and entered College
from South Coventry, this State, in
1843, graduating four years later. After
graduation he studied Theology and
was licensed to preach in 1854. Before
failing health forced him to give up ac-
tive work he served in these Congrega-
tional churches:. Wilton, Conn., Pitts-
field, Mass.; Syracuse, N. Y.; Quincy,°
Iil.; Lincoln, Neb., and the Presby-
terian Church in Central City, Col. He
