Samuel Nichols, D.D., Yale 1811, died at Green- field Hill, Conn., Nov. 4, after an ill- ness of eight days. Mr. Nichols was born at Bedford, Westchester Co., N. Y., Nov. 17, 1821. His father was at the time and for nearly twenty years thereafter Rector of St. Matthew’s Protestant Episcopal Church in that place, and an intimate friend of Chief Justice Jay. His mother was Susan N. Warner, George J. Warner, and sister of Effing- ham H. Warner, a leader in New York financial and religious circles. Mr. _Nichols was a lineal descendant of Ser- geant Francis Nichols, a relative of Sir Richard Nichols, the first English Gov- ernor of New York. Upon graduation he declined an offer of the chair of Mathematics in the Uni- versity of Virginia, and entered the law office of J. Prescott Hall and Charles E. Butler, with whom the Hon William M. Evarts soon became associated as partner. For. a short time after 1844 he was with John W. Nelson, and then practiced by himself. He won the con- fidence of his clients and gained many imnortant cases. In his office experience he always sought to effect a compromise and avoid litigation. He was connected as counsel with the organization and consolidation of large railroad enter- prises. During his later years he de- voted himself principally to real estate law, and to the management of family and a few other interests intrusted to his care, and in these he was unusually successful, notably so in the develop- ment of certain valuable properties in and near New York. Many remember gratefully his timely assistance in some emergency of life or in helping forward some plan of use- fulness. ‘The interests of the Class of "41 always commanded his warm and generous support. He, more than any other one man, made possible the pub- lishing of its ver-- complete Semi-Cen- tennial Record. In 1886 he received the degree of LL.D. from the University. of the South. Mr. Nichols’s New York residence was at 620 Fifth Ave. He had been a member of the Union League Club since 1865, and was a Fellow of the National Academy of Design, and of the London Society of Science and Art, and a mem- - ber of the Church Club of New York. He was a devoted Churchman, and at daughter of the time of his death was connected with the Church of the Heavenly Rest. In 1845 he married Elizabeth Seabury, a daughter of Mr. Seabury Tredwell, a grandniece of Bishop Seabury, and a lineal descendant of John and Priscilla Alden. She died in 1880, leaving one daughter. He afterward married Caro- line Robins, daughter of Mr. Nathan Robins, of Metuchen, N. J. She, with his daughter, survives him. It seemed fitting to his friends that he should pass away at Greenfield Hill, the old home to which he was so strongly attached. The funeral services were held there on the 8th, and largely at- tended by friends from the neighbor- hood and from New York. NATHAN L. BIRGE, EX- 43. Nathen L. Birge, ex-’43. died at his home in Bristol, Conn., on October 29, of a disease of the heart with which he had been afflicted for the past two years. Nathan L. Birge was born at Bristol, August 7, 1823. His father, John Birge, was a manufacturer and a »rominent Whig in the War of 1812. Nathan re- ceived his early education at the town schools, where he was prepared for Yale, entering in 1839 with the Class of Forty- Three. After two years of study his health became so poor that he was ob- liged to stop. He went to Albany, N. Y., and engaged for several years in teaching at the old Albany Academy. On leaving the Academy Mr. Birge en- tered the law office of Stevens & Cagger, Albany, where he studied law, but he never practiced. Going to New York City, he became a partner in one of the local dry goods firms, but upon the death of one of the partners the business was discontinued. Thereupon Mr. Birge turned his attention to manufacturing and became the head of the underwear factory which he was managing at the time of his death. Mr. Birge was also the Vice-President of the Bristol Na- tional Bank. FRANCIS TOWNSEND JARMAN, ’48. Francis Townsend Jarman, ’48, died at his residence in New Haven, Sunday, November 5. Mr. Jarman was born in New Haven, Conn., on Feb. 16, 1828. His parents were Francis Turnbull Jarman and Catharine W., daughter of Jeremiah Townsend, of New Haven. He pre- pared for College at the Hopkins Gram- mar School, and entered Yale with the Class of 1848. Soon after graduation he engaged in the book business, and re- mained in that trade for thirty-eight years. At the time of his death he was the General Agent of the American Bible and Tract Society, in New Haven. He was married October 21, 1857, to Miss Jane A. Scranton, daughter of Thomas Scranton of Madison, Conn., and had one son born to him in 1868, who only lived six months. By his will a bequest of $6,000 is left to the Yale Divinity School to found free scholarships for students of the School. Besides this cash gift, property valued at $3,000 re- verts to the University. Mr. Jarman was a devoted Chris- tian. He was a member of the United Church, and had held many offices in the church during his later life. He was a kind-hearted man and was well liked among a large circle of acquaintances. THE LATE E, 0. STANARD, ‘92. Another account of the life and death of the late E. O. Stanard, ’92, received by the WeErEKty, had the following: “His was a singularly sweet nature. It would be difficult to particularize the qualities that endeared him to the large circle of classmates who delighted in his cordial friendship. His character was fine-fibred and strong; his mind, of high intelligence, was well-endowed with the round culture of University training and extensive travel. He gave rich promise of a successful career. He was profoundly considerate of others, and nobly generous, as certain acts of quiet charity, known only to his intimates, bear witness. His love of the beautiful, his geniality and kindly wavs, his ready wit, his wholesome conversa- tion made his presence ever and every- where welcome. All who knew him loved and admired him, and news of his death will bring to them a deep and sincere grief; for he was of those whose lives give Yale her proud place among the universities of the Nation.” Figs B: NINETY-SEVEN RESOLUTIONS, At a recent meeting of a committee ot the Class of Ninety-Seven, these reso- lutions were passed on the death of Benjamin Franklyn Carver Thompson: ‘Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father to take from among us our well loved friend and classmate, Benjamin Franklyn Carver Thompson; and | Whereas, We, his classmates, realize the loss we have sustained by his death; therefore be it ? Resolved, That we express our appre- ciation of the quiet manliness, the con- stancy in friendship and the high princi- ple which so eminently characterized him, and which will ever make the memory of otrr comradeship with him dear to us; and : Resolved, That we tender our heart- felt sympathy to his family in their pres- ent sorrow; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these reso- lutions be sent to them and published in the YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.

More than usual interest is being shown by the students of the Univer- sity in handball this year. The officers of the Handball Association are: Presi- dent, W. T. Charles, 1900 S.; Vice-Presi- dent, H. P. Shaw, 1901; Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. J. W. Seaver, 80; Man- goer, A Fatuin, 1900: “The . imten- tion of the Association is to hold four tournaments during the Winter, the win- ners of which are to receive cups as prizes. The first of these tournaments is now in progress, the first round being com- pleted with the following men as win- ners: Charles, Allen, Escher, Brown, Adams, Martin, Duncan, Shaw, Lyons, Clark, Russell, Elliott and Grammer. If enough good material is developed in these matches to form a_ handball team worthy of representing Yale, games with several outside teams will be ar- ranged later, probably with New York and Columbia Universities. The management further contemplates the building of a cement handball court in the Gym. lot. Basketball Begun. The candidates for the University Basketball Team were called out on October 20, and have been practicing four times a week since then. Three of last year’s team, A. H:. Sharpe, M.S., Captain; C. D. Lockwood, 1900 S., and G. M+ Glark. 1gof- are still in College, leaving only two positions to be filled from an excellent field of material. It seems therefore that the team should be just as strong as that of last year, which won every game it played. G. M. Clark, 1901, has charge of the squad at present, but when Captain Sharpe has finished his work with the football team, he will take personal charge. The first game of the season will prob- ably be played in New York on Decem- ber 2, with the Dreadnaught Athletic Club, and several other games will be arranged before Christmas. During the Christmas holidavs the team will take a more extensive trip than ever before, going as far west as Fond du Lac, Wis- consin, where it will play a series of three games with Company E, Second Regiment, on December 30, January 2 and 3. Games in Washington, Pitts- burg and other places en route are also being arranged by the management. Af- ter the Christmas trip games will be played with Hudson River teams and Cornell. The candidates who are practicing at present are: C. E. Rogers, 1901; H. B Colton, 1o0r;.J-- O02 MeCall, 1o0t; A. B: Hall> 1002251. Bs wall 19025 8: Hetrick, 190T; <RK: G. Lincotn; 1001 S.; lil.
