was the son of Henry B. Ledyard, who
was a West Point graduate of the Class
of 1865, and who, after several years of
service in the artillery branch of the
regular army, took up railroading and
went to live in Detroit. A. C. Led-
yard was prepared for College at St.
Paul’s School. He was a very popular
member of the Class of Ninety-Eight,
quiet, direct, manly, interested in all
kinds of college activities. He was a
member of the Sophomore Society of
Eta Phi, the Junior Society of Alpha
Delta Phi and the Senior Society of
Scroll and Key. He divided with D.
C. Twichell the class book vote for
handsomest man in the class.
At the outbreak of the war, towards
the end of his Senior year, he enlisted
as a private in Light Battery A, First
Connecticut Artillery, the organization
known as the Yale Batterv, from the
presence of about sixty Yale under-
graduates. In June, 1808, he received a
commission as a Second Lieutenant in

staff of General Miles and sailed for
Porto Rico, July 23. On returning
from Porto Rico he was assigned to
Co. I, Second Infantry, encamped at
Camp Shipp, Anniston, Ga. He was
transferred to the Twelfth Infantry and
joined his regiment at Manila in March
of this year, sailing from New York in
February on the .ransport Sheridan.
He took part in General. Lawton’s
southern expedition and was early pro-
moted to a first lieutenancy. He was
evidently later transferred to the Sixth
Regiment, as all the dispatches speak
of him as being connected with that
regimént at the time of his death. Two
or three months ago, he was assigned
to duty on the Island of Negros.
Writing home at the time, he reported
his assignment and expressed the hope
that it might change so that he could
remain in Luzon, where active cam-
paigning was going on, and saying that
he feared there was nothing better than
garrison duty in Negros. The fighting
in which his death occurred was the
result of an uprising led by the police
of La Carlata district, where there was
a small American garrison. The
records say that there were 250 native
police in Negros, uniformed and armed
with Springfield rifles. }
The news of the death of Lieutenant
Ledyard reached this country on Friday.
No further details bevond the facts re-
ported above have yet been received
by the WEEKLY.
Lieutenant Ledyard was the son of
Henry B. Ledyard, President of the
Michigan Central Railroad and brother
of Henry Ledyard, who graduated in
1897 from Yale and is now in the Har-
vard Law School. He had planned to
take up railroad work. 7
As the WEEKLY goes to press, meet-
ings are planned of the members of the
Class of Ninety-Eight living in New
Haven and also those living in New
York. The members of the Yale Bat-
tery who are within reach of New
Haven will also take action. -
THE LATE OLIVER H. PERRY, ’99 S.
At the meeting Thursday night, Dec.
7, of the members of the Class of .
Ninety-Nine Sheff. who are at present
in New Haven, the following resolutions
on the death of Oliver H. Perry, ’o9 S.,
were drawn up and adopted:
“Whereas, God in his wisdom has
taken from us our beloved friend and
classmate, Oliver Henry Perry; and
“Whereas, We, his classmates, feel _
that in his death we have sustained a
personal loss; therefore, be it |
“Resolved, That we express our ap-
preciation of the high principle and
quiet manliness which characterized
him, and which will always make the
memory of our comradeship with him
dear to us; and
“Resolved, That we extend our deep-
est sympathy to his family; and be it
further
“Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to his family and pub-
lished in the Yale papers.” :

Phi Beta Kappa Anniversary.
The anniversary meeting of the Phi
Beta Kappa Society was held on Tues-
day evening, December 5. W. S.
Coffin, 1900, President of the Society,
gave a short account of its early history,
and Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, ’61,
delivered an address on “the Disposi-
tion of Senior Year.” In his address
he advocated changing the present elec-
tive system so that a man might, in
Senior year, elect as part of his work,
courses in any branch of the University,
thus enabling him to make®an earlier
start in that profession which he in-
tended to follow.
