Mr. Hin- man was the son of Chief Justice Joel Hinman. He was born. at Waterbury, 1833. As a scholar at the Hopkins Grammar School he was close to the top. In college he was one of the fore- most classical scholars in the Class and ranked only behind Bromley as a wit. In college he was a man of physical beauty, and a favorite companion. He studied law, but never engaged in ac- tive practice. He took to a farm and in connection with the late Prof. Shepard paid attention to the develop- ment of local mineral properties. In 1860 he represented Cheshire in the Connecticut House of Representatives, and was Judge of Probate for the Ches- hire District in 1863-4. He had little ambition, and his modesty was un- bounded. He was a reader and student through his life, but distrusted himself too much to let his talents and ac- quisitions be much known or felt in the community. His few intimate friends admired and loved him. The last Sun- day afternoon of our College life Hin- man and the writer lay on the ground at the edge of East Rock and talked of the future of the Class. “‘What of your- self, Bill?’ ‘Well, I shall get into an old shay and drive about the farm.” He fulfilled his prophecy, but those of us who knew him well have bidden him goodbye with affection and esteem, and regret that his charms and accom- plishments were kept secret from so many and disclosed to so few. H.6 2B. J. WALKER FEARN, ’5I. J Walker Fearn died at Hot Springs, Virginia, on Saturday, April 8, after a lingering illness. The funeral was held at Richmond, Va. Mr. Fearn was born at Huntsville, Alabama on January 13th, 1832. He obtained his scholastic education in that city and then came to Yale, where he graduated with the Class of Fifty-One. Upon leaving College he studied Law and in 1853 was admitted to the bar at Mobile. His ability secured for him the appointment of Secretary of the American Legation at Brussels, which he held until, in 1856, he was appointed to a similar position with the Mexican *Legation. He remained in Mexico two years. Upon the outbreak of the Rebellion in 1861, he took sides with the Southerners and was one of the Confederate Com- missioners to the European Powers. For some time after his return from Europe Mr. Fearn was on the staff of General Joseph B. Johnston, who then had command in Virginia, but in 1863 he was again engaged in the Confed- erate diplomatic service, first in Europe with Colonel L. Q. C. Lamar, and then in Mexico with General William Pres- ton. From that time until the end of the war he served as a Adjutant-General of the Trans-Mississippi Department under General Kirby Smith. With the close of hostilities Colonel Fearn returned to his law practice in New Orleans, which he continued up to the time of his election to the professor- ship of French, Spanish and Italian in the University of Louisiana. In 1884 he gave up this position to go to Europe as Commissioner of the New Orleans Exposition. Mr. Fearn served as United States Minister to Greece, _Roumania and Servia during President Cleveland’s first term of office and as Judge of the International Court at Cairo, Egypt, in his second adminis- tration. At the time of the World’s Fair in Chicago, Mr. Fearn was in charge of the Foreign Bureau of the Department of Promotion and Pub- licity. He was married to Miss Hewett, daughter of James Hewett of Louis- ville, Ky., in November, 1865. WIRT DEXTER WALKER, ’8o.
