JAMES HERVEY SANFORD, 731. James Hervey Sanford, ’31, died at his home in New York City on Mon- day night, Dec. 26, 1808. Mr. Sanford was born eighty-seven years ago in New Haven, Conn., and was graduated from Yale in 1831. He studied law and was admitted to the bar, but after practising for some time gave up the law to manage a large tract of land in Peoria, owned by his father, At the end of a few years Mr. Sanford came to New York and became amember of the firm of Hallock, But- le & Hale, proprietors of the Journal of Commerce. In consequence of a dis- agreement with Mr. Hallock on the subject to slavery, he retired from the frm in 1857, and then took charge of the Buffalo Courier. He remained in Buffalo for five years and then sold the Courier. Since then, with the ex- ception of extended travels in Europe, he had lived a quiet, studious life in New York City. His death was the result of an acute attack of grip. He leaves a widow and one daughter. DR. DANIEL LUCIUS ADAMS, ’35. Dr. Daniel Lucius Adams died at his home in New Haven on Jan. 3. | Dr. Adams was born at Mt. Vernon, N. H., Nov. 1, 1814. He-was fitted for College at Mt. Pleasant Classical In- stitute and entered Ambherst in 1831, but after staying there two years was admitted to Yale in 1833 and graduated with the Class of Thirty-Five. © After graduation from the Harvard Medical School in 1838 he entered upon the as of his profession in New York ity. He was exceedingly fond of music and was fortunate in knowing per- sonally many of the most prominent musicians who came to New York dur- ing this period. He also took the keen- est pleasure in athletic sports, and soon after coming to New York became one of the earliest members of the Knicker- bocker Baseball Club, the first organi- zation of its kind in existence. He be- came president of the club and took the most active interest in its welfare and the development of the game, even giving his personal attention to mak- ing bats and balls, articles then. un- known to the manufacturer, and re- taining his position as an authority on all matters pertaining to the sport un- til he left New York. — : In 1861 Dr. Adams married Cornelia A. Cook, of New York, and four years later retired from the practice of medi-. cine and removed to Ridgefield, Conn. Here he found leisure to identify him- self closely with public improvements and the welfare of the town, which he represented several times in the legis- lative assembly. In 1888 he removed to New Haven, where he lived very quietly and contentedly during the re- mainder of his life: He is survived by his wife and four children. REV. B. F. BARKER, ’56. News has just been received of. the death of Rev. B. F. Barker, *56, on Octi.3%, at. East Onondaga, N.Y. After graduation he was Principal of the Onondaga Valley Academy for one year. He then devoted himself to the study of Theology for two years and commenced service as preacher at Georgetown, N. Y., in 1859. He ministered to various churches to which he was assigned in the Oneida and Oswego conferences till 1877. He was then appointed Presiding Elder of the Oswego Conference and served in that capacity for six years, spending one year in travel in Europe. In 1883 he returned to his farm in East Onon- daga, where he has since resided. He died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart. He was the oldest surviving member of his Class, being nearly seventy years of age. A wife and four children sur- vive him. EDITORIAL.

It is hard to see why there should be discussion about the place of the next boat race. There is no dispute as to the advantages of New London for either Yale or Harvard. It is a long way for Cornell to come, and that Uni- versity may decide that the matter of great distance or the inability to ar- range her other contests on the Thames, offsets the advantages of the place. We sincerely hope she will not reach that decision, for a race between Har- vard, Cornell and Yale at New Lon- don is very much to be desired. But we must not forget what a boat race and all college athletics are for. In the light of their rational ends Yale can hardly choose to race at any other place than New London. This is written without any particular informa- tion about the purposes of the Navy, but as an expression of what we believe to be the sentiment of the very great majority of Yale men. The mstter is discussed by a Yale graduate elsewhere in this issue. moter reer Gee ee Lectures on Literature. Professor A. S. Cook of the English Department has recently arranged a course of lectures on the general sub- ject of literature, to be given by Pro- fessors of the University. The opening lecture was announced for Wednesday of this week, and the others are to fol- low on successive Wednesdays until February 15th. The lectures will be delivered in the south gallery of the Yale Art School at.8.22 4% and. are open to the University. The aim of the course is to discuss the more important phases of literature considered as art, and especially its chief species, the drama, the epic and the novel, as they have manifested themselves in different ages and countries. The course will be continued, it is hoped, this or another year; by other professors in the University. One of the advantages of the course will be to allow students to hear specialities in their own particular field, with whom they might not otherwise come in con- tact. The course announced for this year is as follows: January 11th, Professor Cook, Intro- duction to the Course; January 18th, Professor Seymour, the Literary Epic in its Greek Form, Homer; January asth, Professor Gruener, The Literary Epic in its Germanic Form, Niebelun- genlied; February 1st, Professor Mor- ris, Comedy in its Latin Form, Plautus and Terence; February 8th, Professor Luquiens, Comedy in its French Form, Moliére; February 15th, Professor add, Philosophical Basis of Literary Criticism. a Methodist 1385 The University of Pennsylvania Crew were given a reception at the Univer- sity Club at Philadelphia, on Saturday, December toth.
