“Benjamin William Schwab, born
February 8, 1867, died September 21,
1899.
“Schwab left Yale at the end of the
Sophomore year to take a position with
the well known firm of Oelrichs & Co.,
in New York, of which his father was a
member. His work with that firm began
with a clerkship, then led him to England
and Germany, where he perfected him-
self as an expert in wools. Afterwards
he was engaged for a number of years
in Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and South America, as a wool
buyer, and finally, on March 1, last, he
was admitted into the firm as a junior
partner. His wedding with Miss Amy
Dana, of New Haven, was to have
taken place in December. His death
came almost instantaneously. While
taking his customary early morning ride
his horse became frightened and uncon-
trollable in Van Cortlandt Park, and
in some manner came in contact with ©
a tree, hurling his rider to the ground.
“Tn the two years that he was with us
in College, he had greatly endeared him-
self to his classmates. He was of a
quiet and retiring disposition, yet thor-
oughly earnest in all that he undertook
and we knew that he could be counted
on for the best that was in him on all
occasions and that best of no mean
order: The affection we had for him
was the affection that accompanies es-
teem, founded on an appreciation of
his own upright character, clean whole-
some spirit and thorough loyalty to his
friends.
“Now that death has suddenly cut him
down in the midst of the brightest pros-
pects of his life, when the rewards of
his years of honest endeavor were well
within his grasp, we would convey, on
behalf of the Class of Yale Eighty-
Eight to those nearest and dearest to
him, our appreciation of those high
qualities in him they mourn and our
earnest sympathy in their grief.”
’89—Gifford Pinchot Smith, son of

cepting car fare. Last Winter’s large

a very full attendance may be expected
this year. Every Ninety-Six man is in-
vited, and those who have not yet re-
ceived personal notices are requested to
communicate with one of the under-
signed immediately, as the Club’s seat-
ing capacity is limited.
