Dr. Charles Janeway Stille, ’39, died August 11, at Atlantic City, where he had been some time for his health. He had not been well for several months. A slight attack of heart disease came a short time before his death, and from that time on his strength failed rapidly. Dr. Stille was born in Philadelphia, September 23, 1819. After graduating from Yale,. where he took a high rank in scholarship and particularly in litera- ture, he devoted several years to the special study of literature and language. In 1866 he was elected Professor of Eng- lish in the University of Pennsylvania; in 1868 he was elected Provost of the ~ University and held that position until 1880, when he expressed a desire to be relieved of his duties. He retained a professorship of History and English for a year after he retired from the position at the head of the University. The Philadelphia Press, commenting on his death, said: “During his administration the influence of the University as a cen- ter of learning was greatly extended; its material resources greatly augmented, and the student body very sensibly in- creased in numbers. Measured by the work accomplished during this interest- ing period of its history, the constitu- -ency of the great institution have every reason to hold Dr. Stille in grateful re- -membrance.” In 1846, Dr. Stille was married to Miss Anna Dulles, daughter of Joseph H. Dulles of Philadelphia. Dr. Stille wrote much on the Civil War and the development of American civilization. During the war he was a member of the United States Sanitary ~Commission. His bequest to the Uni- versity is noted elsewhere. HON. GEORGE S. WHITE, 748. The news has been recently received ' of the death, last month, of the Honora- ble George S. White. Mr. White -was born at Quincy, Mass., Nov. 9, 1821, and, after graduation at Yale, studied law at Cambridge at the Cambridge Law School. In 1851 he was admitted to the bar of Massachusetts, and practiced until 1858, when he was appointed judge of the Probate Court of Insolvency of Norfolk County, Mass. This office he held until his death. Mr. White was married Nov. 28, 1864, to Frances Mary E. Noyes of Boston. His oldest son, George Rantoul White, is a graduate of Harvard College and Instructor in Chemistry at . Phillips- Exeter Academy. His second son is Edward Noyes White. His only daugh- ter, Mary Hawthorne, is a graduate of Radcliffe and married Clarence Alfred Bunker, a Boston lawyer and Harvard eraduate. HENRY CLAY HALLOWELL, 752. . Henry Clay Hallowell, ’52, died at his home, Rockland, Sandy Spring, Md., Aug. 11. Mr. Hallowell had nat been in the best of health for some years and indeed had been obliged to take particu- lar care of himself in this respect for most of his life. He sent word on the occasion of the last Class reunion in 1897, that his health would not permit him to attend. Mr. Hallowell was the son of Benja- imn Hallowell and was born at Alexan- dria, Va., June 16, 1829. He entered his class at Yale in the Sophomore year. After graduation, he®joined his father and his classmate, Francis Miller, in | conducting a Scientific School at Alexan- dria. In 1855, he went abroad for his health, staying eight months. On_ his return, he moved to Sandy Spring, Md., ‘and has lived there ever since at his home, Rockland. For a large number of years, he followed agricultural pur- suits, taking a very active interest in all the affairs of that part of the country, lecturing frequently on scientific and other topics. In 1878, he opened a girls’ school, which he conducted with success for a number of years. About ten years ago, he had.a severe attack of malarial fever, which left him too weak to con- tinue his work. Among his other public positions in Montgomery County, Mr. Hallowell was President of the Board of Health. In July, 1857, he married Sarah Miller, sister of Francis Miller, his classmate. The latter had previously married a sister of Mr. Hallowell. Mr. Hallowell left a wife and seven children: M. Hallowell, Robert M. Hallowell, J.

He was born in Savannalr, Ga., Oct. 1, 1829, and was a son of George R. Hendrickson. He spent his first Winter after graduation at Savannah, but in 1853 moved to New York and remained there the rest of his life. His business was the handling of chemical preparations. He married, in 1862, Miss Emma O. Clark of New York. A daughter, Emma C., was born in 1865, and a son, George A., in 1874. The latter died in infancy. JAMES KING HILL, 754. James K. Hill died of heart disease at Narragansett Pier, where he was temporarily staying, on September 5th, 1899. Mr. Hill was the son of Nathaniel P. and Matilda (Carrford) Hill and was born in Montgomery, Orange County, N. Y., June 22, 1832. He prepared for College at East Hampton, Mass., and entered Yale in 1850. He was promi- nent in his Class, and was first President of Linonia in his Senior year. After graduation, he spent a few months in teaching at Sag Harbor, N. Y., and then entered Harvard Law School, where he remained until the Summer of 1856, when he went to New York City and entered the law office of the well known firm of Brown, Hall & Vanderpoel. In May, 1857, he was admitted to the bar, and settled as a lawyer in New York City. For thirty years he kept steadily at work. Possess- ing a clear brain, untiring energy and indomitable perseverance, he achieved success. In May, 1887, he withdrew in part from his law practice and ever after took life more easily. He lived for over twenty years at the Windsor ~ Hotel, on Fifth avenue, and after. it was burned, removed to _ the Waldort- Astoria. Time dealt gently with him and although he never married he was far from unmindful of the charms of social life. He passed the Summer of 1896 in Europe, and returned with the promise of many years before him. — Providence designed otherwise and he was the fourth of his class to pass away during the present year. BENJAMIN WILLIAM SCHWAB, EX-’88. Benjamin William Schwab, ex-’88, was instantly killed, while horseback riding, in Van Cortlandt Park, New York, early in the morning, Septem- ber 21. Mr. Schwab was taking his usual early ride. His horse was in some way suddenly frightened and. got beyond his control. He ran near a large tree, and probably suddenly swerving, threw his rider’s head with great force against the trunk or one of the large branches. Death was instantaneous. Mr. Schwab was born in 1867, the son of Gustav Schwab. He prepared for Yale in New York City and took the first two years with the Class of Eighty- Eight. He then went into business with the house of Oelrichs & Co. On March I, 1899, he was admitted to the firm as junior partner. He was in charge of the importing department, his brother, Gustav H., being the head of the steam- ship business, that is, the North Ger- man Lloyd line. One of Mr. Schwab’s brothers was John C. Schwab, Yale ’86, Professor of Economics at Yale. The funeral was from St. James ‘Church, Fordham, at 2.30, September 23. The engagement was announced last Spring of Mr. Schwab to Miss Dana, daughter of Mrs. James D. Dana, and sister of Professor s:dward S. Dana of the Yale Faculty. 3 EVERETT WINSLOW HOBART, 795. Everett Winslow Hobart, ’95, lost his life in a drowning accident at Traverse City, Mich., Aug. 19. Mr. Hobart was at Great Traverse Bay with the family of his brother James. On that after- noon he went in bathing with his eight- year old nephew, Harold Hobart. In some way, the child went beyond his depth and Hobart went after him. He reached him all right and started for the shore, but was either seized with a cramp or became exhausted, and before his brother, who was on the beach, could get to him, both he and the boy had sunk for the last time. The bodies were recovered in ten minutes, but efforts to restore consciousness were in vain... [Continued on 7th page.]
