YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY 1138 YALE OBITUARIES. [Continued from rogth page.] was present at the taking of Port Hud- son and Donaldsonville, and participated in Gen. Bank’s expedition through Lou- isiana to New Orleans. : After being mustered out in August, 1863, Mr. Magill established a boarding school for boys in Old Lyme, Conn. In 1865 he received the degree of M.A. from Yale. In 1868 he opened a school for boys in Newton, N. J., and in 1870 removed to New Haven, where he con- aated a school until his retirement in 1876. | Since 1878, Mr. Magill ha’ lived in Amherst, Mass., spending his time on his farm and with his duties as treasurer of the Amherst Cooperative Creamery Association, which he largely helped to organize in 1882. | Mr. Magill’s mother survives him, now 87 years of age, the only living aunt of President Hadley of Yale. The widow, Matilda Smith Magill, and four children also survive him: Maud Helen, Dr. William S.. Claud A., and Arthur E. Magill. FREDERIC SANFORD CALHOUN, 783. Frederic Sanford Calhoun, ’83, died at Newton, Mass., Thursday, Nov. 23. Mr. Calhoun, son of David Calhoun, was born in New Haven, 1862. After graduating at Yale and traveling for a year, Mr. Calhoun entered the firm of R. Wells & Co., wholesale drug house in New Haven. In four years he be- came a member of the firm and in 1892 he was conducting the business alone, under the style of F. S. Calhoun & Co. He was a member of the Church of the Redeemer, and also a member of the Graduates’, the Countrv and the An- santawae Club, and of the University Club of New York. Mr. Calhoun’s health had been very poor for several years, and while visit- ing in Newton, he had a hemorrhage of the lungs which proved fatal. Mr. Calhoun is survived by a mother and sister and a wife and child. OLIVER H. PERRY, “OQS. On Wednesday, November 29, oc- curred the death at Omaha, Neb. of Oliver H. Perry, ’900S. Mr. Perry, after graduating, went to his home at Southport, Conn., but soon after this, in July, he left to accept a position in the Civil Engineering Department of the Union Pacific Kailroad. He was sent by them to Kansas and worked there during the Summer. In October he was taken sick with typhoid fever and went to Omaha to be with his friend C. L. Sherwood, 98S. He died there after an illness of four weeks. The funeral services were held at his home in Southport, Conn. on Monday, December 4th, at 2.30 o'clock. The news of his death will be a shock to a great many men, who rated him high for his character and worth. A friend, writing of his death, uses the sentence “He was a manlv man and in the best sense of the term a true Yale man.” Mr. Perry was the only son of H. H. Perry, 69S. An uncle, Hon. John H. Perry, graduated in 1870, an- other uncle, Winthrop H. Perry, gradu- ated in 1876. A grandfather graduated in 1834 and another uncle in 1853. The Late W. D. Manro, ’88. The following minute was recently adopted by the Class of Eighty-Fight through its committee: William Davis Manro, born in Au- burn, N. Y., June 27, 1864. Died at Minneapolis, Oct. 18, 1899. The news: of the sad and tragic close of Manro’s life has startled his classmates with a feeling of grief and horror. In a mo- ment of temporary insanity he threw | himself from the Washington Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis, and no trace of his body has as yet been discovered. Fitted for College at Phillips Andover, Manro was for several years the associ- ate and classmate of many of our num- ber. He brought to College a cheerful- ness of temper, a genial and _ social nature, which made him quickly the companion and friend of his fellows. Tragedy and sorrow seemed strangers to him. Wit and good humor were his natural gifts. By these he will be long remembered among his classmates. His early successes in the profession of teaching seem to have been unusual. He became principal of two schools in Rome, N. Y., within a vear after leav- ing college and a little later the superin- tendent of all the city schools. He left Rome to accept a similar position in Paterson, N. J.; but soon found a new out-let for his activities in the insurance business. At the time of his death he was about to represent a large company in the city of Minneapolis. Behind a cloud which no human eye can penetrate he slipped out of life. All the more tenderly we sorrow for him— sorrow over the remembrance of his suffering, and for his loss. To those who were near to him and who loved him we extend our heartfelt sympathy. F. I.

Makers Who is the LEADER? That is an exceedingly hard question to answer in relation to the foot- ball season. It has been up and down with nearly all the big elevens all the season — unex- pected slumps and unexpected rallies. The season is not long or varied enough, with conditions as they now are, to establish the place of the different teams. Consider how long .it takes in the game of business to establish one house well in the lead of all the others. Years and history are, for instance, back of the great athletic house that supplies nearly all the foot- ball elevens and other athletic teams of the country. A. G, Spalding & Bros, New York.
