YALE OBITUARIES.
COLONEL WILLIAM WINTHROP, ’SI.
Colonel William Winthrop, ’51, of the
Regular Army, died suddenly at At-
lantic City, N. J., Saturday, April 8.
Colonel Winthrop was born in 1832,
being a lineal descendant of John Win-
throp, the first Governor of Massachu-
setts Bay Colony, and was graduated
from the Academic Department in 1851.
After studying Law at the Yale and
Harvard Law Schools, he was admitted
to the bar, and, in 1855, began to prac-
tice in Boston, afterwards removing to
New York City, where in April, 1861,
he enlisted as a private in the Seventh
New York Regiment, rising gradually
by meritorious services to the rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel of Volunteers. In
1867 he was transferred to the regular
army as Major and Judge Advocate,
where his ability almost immediately
won him a promotion to the position of
Deputy Judge Advocate with rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel. He was then de-
tailed to duty in California as Judge
Advocate of the Division of the Pacific,
where he remained until his appoint-
ment in 1886, to a professorship of Law
at the United States Military Academy
at West Point, N. Y. At about this
time, General Swain was court-mar-
tialed, and it was through arguments
and precedents furnished by Colonel
Winthrop that a mitigation of the sen-
tence was brought about.
Colonel Winthrop has written many
works on military law, the best known
of which being his great work on
“Military Law and Precedents.” Aside
from his professional work, he was a
skilled linguist, and a botanist of some
repute. He has frequently of late been
a contributor in prose and verse to
many leading periodicals and scientific
reviews.
He was married to Miss Alice Worth-
ington, like himself a member of an
old colonial family.
REV. JAMES BRAND, ’66.
Rev. James Brand, a graduate of Yale
in the Class of Sixty-Six, died suddenly,
of apoplexy, April 11, at Oberlin,
Ohio, where, for many years he had
been the clergyman of the First Con-
gregational Church.
~ Mr. Brand was born at Three Rivers,
Quebec, in 1834. His parents were
Scotch, and emigrated to this country
shortly before his birth. When a boy
he worked on a farm, and afterwards
learned the carpenter’s trade, and
worked at that occupation till he was
24 years old. He then determined to
have a college education, and entered
Phillips Academy at Andover in 1858,
and Yale, in 1861, in the Class of 186s.
When the war broke out, he left College
and enlisted in the 27th Connecticut
Regiment, in which he was color
bearer. He was in the battles of
Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, and
Gettysburg. He was wounded at
Fredericksburg, and received a gold
medal for distinguished bravery at
Gettysburg.
After the expiration of his term of
enlistment he entered the Class of 1866
in Sophomore year. He was one of the
leading men in that Class and was Class
Poet at graduation. He entered the
Andover Theological Seminary, and
was graduated there in 1869. In Octo-
ber, 18690, he became nastor of the
Maple Street Church at Danvers, Mass.,
and remained there till 1873, leaving
there to become pastor of the First
Church at Oberlin, Ohio, where he sub-
sequently remained till his death. This
‘is the church attended by most of the
~ hole.
students at Oberlin College, and he was
practically the College preacher during
his life at Oberlin.
In 1883 he received the degree of D.D.
from Iowa College. He was a delegate
to the International Council of Con-
gregational churches at London in 1891,
where he read a paper on “Sacerdotal-
ism and Modern Unbelief,” which re-
ceived very high praise. He was a
forcible and effective writer, lecturer
and speaker, and a man of a peculiarly
poetic and noble nature. His College
poetry was of an unusually high order.
His old College friends remember him
with admiration and affection, and have
heard of his death with grief. The lines
of his valedictory poem arise in their
memory as they bid him farewell:
We part; but these strong ties shall
not dissolve.
’Tis but the false that time can over-
throw.
Each true emotion, every genuine chord
That quivers in the breath of this young
ife,
Shall rise above all partings and abide.

You can pronounce it that way or
any other way that appeals to your
discriminating sense of Orthoepy.
The choice of pronunciation is a de-
liberate act for which there is plenty
of time and a multitude of contradic-
tory authorities to suit all precon-
ceived prejudices.
But when it comes to the game
itself, one is precipitated into a suc-
cession of mental and moral crises,
when the judicial sense flees and the
sensitive Caddy flees, and gentle peo-
ple look the other way, and when
one’s state of mind makes it quite
impossible to discriminate as to either
the form or the substance of one’s
language. You can reduce the num-
ber and the intensity of these crises
considerably by making the tools you
work with the best that can be
found. You can address A. G.
Spalding & Bros., at either New York
or Chicago. |
