satisfactory results by enlisting the ser-
vices of the

ning and laying out courses under the
most competent supervision, but have
every possible equipment in the shape

etc., etc. As for clubs, balls, and caddy-
bags, you can find every variety. and
style at the N. Y. office,

YALE OBITUARIES.
REV. HENRY EDWARDS, ’4I.
Rev. Henry Edwards, ’41, died at his
home in Hagerstown, Md., Saturday,
February 25, 1899.
Mr. Edwards was born in New
Haven, December 31, 1821. His great
grandfather was Rev. Jonathan Ed-
wards, Yale 1720, President of the Col-
lege of New Jersey (Princeton), and
a distinguished metaphysician, whose
father, Rev. Timothy Edwards, Harvard
1694, was the first, and for sixtv years
the only minister of East Windsor,
Conn. After his graduation in 1841, he
taught in various places until 1845, when
he commenced the study of Theology,
in New Haven, and then in the General
_. Episcopal Church, New York.
Theological Seminary of the Protestant
ordained deacon in 1847 and ae oe
next year, and became rector of the
Church of St. John the Evangelist at
Stockport, N. Y. He held a number
of other parishes, and during the war
was rector of St. John’s Parish, Hagers-
town, Md., where his congregation was
composed largely of Southern sym-
pathizers. “Among other interesting
incidents,” he. wrote in March, 1863
“was a visit from the whole of Long-
street’s division of the Confederate
army, and one Sunday I‘had the pleas-
ure of preaching to a congregation
largely composed of confederate officers
-and soldiers, and at the same time
praying for the President of the United
States. This was only the Sunday be-
fore the battle of Antietam, which took
place eleven miles from us.” Although
he resigned the rectorship of St. John’s
parish, he had other small churches in
the vicinity under his care, and re-
mained at Hagerstown till the time of
his death. He conducted a select
school in the town during his residence
there. He was also chaplain of the
College of St. James, and for a time
of the Grand Army.
CURRENT YALE LITERATURE.
Professor Beers’ Work. _
Professor Beers’ History of Roman-
ticism in the Eighteenth Century, just
published by Henry Holt & Co. of New
York, and of which a review by Pro-
fessor Phelps was printed in a recent
number of the WEEKLY, has met with
very strong endorsement from the re-
viewers. The Outlook says of it:
“Professor Beers’ work shows’ thor-
ough familiarity with his subject, dis-
criminating taste, the conscience of the
scholar and the insight of the lover of
literature. His book must be regarded
as one of the most important contribu-
tions yet made to literary history by an
American scholar.”
‘Universities and Their Sons.
The first volume of “Universities and
their Sons,” published in Boston by
The R. Herndon Company, has just
appeared. This volume contains a
general article on the history, influence
and characteristics of the four Univer-
sities,—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and
Columbia. In a later issue of the
WEEKLY this volume will be reviewed.
It certainly is attractive in appear-
ance, and the list of editors seems to
promise a very valuable work. Gen-.
eral J. L. Chamberlain is Editor-in-
Chief, and the editors of the historical
sketches of the different colleges are as
follows: Harvard, William Roscoe
Thayer; Yale, Professor Charles Henry
Smith; Princeton, Professor John De-
Witt and Jesse Lynch Williams; Co-
lumbia, Professor J. Howard Van
Amringe. There is a general introduc-
tion by Honorable William T. Harris,
United States Commissioner of Educa-
tion, which is followed by a general
article on ‘Universities of Learning,”
by the Editor-in-Chief. The first vol-
ume contains 750 pages and nearly 400
illustrations. It is beautifully printed
in large and clear type, on extra heavy
paper, and is richly and durably bound.
