Osborn, of New Haven, Connecticut, has recently ac- quired such a reputation as an after- dinner speaker that he is very much in the public eye. The colonel is a newspaper man of great resources. Since his graduation from Yale, in 1880, he has been editor-in-chief of the New Haven Register, one of the most conservative and reliable papers in the State. For two years now he has also occupied the important positon of edi- torial correspondent for the Connecticut edition of the Herald, writing over the pen-name of “Trumbull” articles that have attracted the widest interest. His papers on “Yale Reminiscenses,” to appear in the Fall through a _ well- known metropolitan publishing house, are said by those who have read them in the manuscript to abound in such wit and humor, with so strong a ten- dency also to epigrammatic distinction, ‘as to place them in line with the clev- erest things of the kind. Recently the colonel has been induced to give a course of lectures before the laboring people of New Haven and other Con-> necticut towns. A notable paper on “The Newspaper,’ read before the Civitas Club, of Brooklyn, opened the eyes of the public to his capabilities as a lecturer. This was more than a year ago, and since then he has given several other lectures. One of his greatest charms is his easy, magnetic manner of delivery. The colonel’s popularity is deep-rooted. It began while he was a student at Yale, where he occupied almost every position of prominence in his class—was president of the glee club, chairman of the promenade committee, and hail fellow well met with every man at the Uni- versity. In 1886 Colonel Osborn re- ceived the degree of M.A., his B.A. having been given him in 1880. He is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.” ’°84—Dr. G.
