J., on February 22, after a short ill- ness. | Mr. Hart was born in New Britain, Conn., June 7, 1825, and after gradua- tion studied Theology at Union Theo- logical Seminary, and preached for a year or more in New York City. In 1850 he entered upon what proved to be his lifé work—the preparation of young men for college, taking charge of the College Grammar School in Brooklyn, N. Y. This School he conducted till within a week of his death, when he had just begun his duties as Professor of Lan- guages in the School of Commerce, connected with the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn. The large number of those who have received instruction from him, and are prominent in the business and educational circles of Brooklyn and vicinity, testify to the thoroughness of his methods and his devotion to his work. In 1854 he married Georgiana, daugh- ter of Wm. B. North of New Britain, who survives him. Brooklyn was their home till 1887, when they moved to Ramsey. In this place his intelligent and active interest in all matters per- taining to education, good citizenship and the religious life of the community . i : | nity, endeared him to all his townspeople. DR. SIGISMOND WATERMAN, ’48 ws. Dr. Sigismond Waterman, ’48 M.S., died suddenly from heart trouble at his home in New York City, on March 1 < Dr. Waterman was born in Bruck, near Erlangen, Germany, where he re- ceived his early education. He came to this country in 1840, and soon after was appointed Instructor in German at Yale. While here, he began the study of Medicine, and was graduated from the Medical School in 1848 with honors. At the time of his death he was the oldest alumnus of that Depart- ment. After graduating he went to New York and began the practice of Medicine. In 1857 he was appointed Police Surgeon; an office which he held for thirty years and was then re- tired on a pension on account of age. In the war of the Rebellion, he was ap- pointed Draft Surgeon by Governor Morgan, and he did good service dur- ing the riot of 1863. In 1868, Dr. Waterman introduced the study of spectroscopic analysis in the practice of Medicine and he has always been a specialist on this subject. He was ap- pointed Professor of Venal Diseases in the Eclectic College, but retired on ac- count of ill health. He joined the B’nai B’rith in 1850, and was at its head for three years as grand sar. He was one of the founders and for a time President of the Home for Aged and Infirm, at Yonkers,an d belonged to various social, charitable, and medi- cal societies. _ Dr. Waterman’s second wife, who was Miss Martha Simonson, a daughter and three sons survive him.
