went to Europe, and after two years,
spent in travel, entered the School of
Mines at Paris, from which he grad-
uated with honor in 1860.
Soon after his return home he was
appointed to take charge of the minerals
of the Smithsonian Institute at Wash-
ington, D. C. In March, 1863, he pre-
pared plans for a School of Mines,
which were used in the establishment
of a department under that title in
Columbia College, New York City; and
to carry out these plans he was, in Jan-
uary, 1864, chosen Professor of Miner-
alogy and Metallurgy in the institution.
This professorship in the School of
Mines of Columbia University he held
until 1897, when he resigned on account
of ill health, and was made professor
emeritus. In June, 1874, Princeton
honored him with the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy, and in July of the same
year Trinity conferred on him the de-
gree of LL.D. In 1891, he was made
a Chevalier, and in 1895 an officer of
the Legion of Honor of France.
He has published two large volumes on
the “Metallurgy of Gold and Silver in
the United States,” three editions of a
Catalogue of Minerals and their Syn-
onyms, a “Life of Major General Pat-
terson of the Revolutionary Army,” and
numerous pamphlets on subjects relat-
ing to Metallurgy.
Since 1878 Professor Egleston has
been a vestryman of Trinity Church So-
ciety, New York City. He is a Vice-
President of the New York Protestant
Episcopal City Mission, and of the Bible
and Common Prayer Book Society, and
in 1895 was elected a trustee of the
General Theological Seminary of the
Episcopal Church. He was married on
May 2, 1865, to Augusta, daughter of
Edward McVicker, who died four years
ago.
Two brothers survive him, David S.
and William Egleston.

John Read Walker, ex-’68, died at
his home in Kansas City, Mo., Saturday,
January 27, of an inflammation of the
lining membrane of the heart. He had
been very sick for two weeks and his
death was expected.
Mr. Walker entered Yale with the
Class of Sixty-Eight, but left ‘in his
Sophomore year to take up the business
of stock-raising in Bates County, Mis-
souri, where he had purchased a large
farm. From 1870 to 1872 he represented
his county in the State Legislature.
About 1875 he began the study of law

and five years later was elected prosecu-
ting attorney of Cooper County, where
his ability began to be noticed, earning
for him the appointment as agent from
Missouri to secure the war claims for
that State from the United States
government. He was a delegate to the
Democratic national convention in Chi-
cago, in 1896, and did a great deal of
work afterwards in the campaign for
Grover Cleveland. In February, 1894,
he was appointed by the President to
be United States District Attorney for
the Western District of Missouri, hold-
ing the office until a little more than
a year ago.
Mr. Walker was married in 1880, to
Miss Alice Ewing, who survives him
with four children, three: boys and one
girl.
PHILIP D. ARMOUR, JR., SPECIAL.
Philip D. Armour, Jr., who was a
special student in the Sheffield Scigntific
School during the year 1888-9, died of
congestion of the lungs at Montecito,
Cal., Thursday, January 25, after an
illness of only 14 hours. He left Chi-
cago a week or two before apparently
in perfect health, to visit his father,who
has taken up his permanent residence
in California.
Mr. Armour was born at Milwaukee,
Wis., January 11, 1869, and prepared for
College at Phillips Andover Academy,
entering Yale as a special student in the
Scientific School in the Fall of 1888.
He stayed only one year and then be-
gan a long trip through Europe, at the
end of which he returned to Chicago
and was taken into the Armour firm,
which consisted of his father and elder
brother. He was married ten years ago
to Miss May Lester, daughter of John
T. Lester of the Chicago Board of

children, Philip D., seven years old, and

JOHN F. CUFF, ’92L.S.

died Saturday, January 20, at Suwanee
Springs, Florida, where he went three
weeks ago for his health. He had been
in poor health about two years caused
by a stomach trouble, but had been gain-
ing strength and gaves hopes of a com-
plete recovery.
Mr. Cuff graduated from the Yale |
Law School in 1892. and was admitted
to the bar. Soon after, he returned to
Danbury and was elected Corporation
Counsel for the city by the Democratic
Common Council.
He was elected about the same time
a member of the Democratic State Cen-
tral Committee from the Fifteenth Sen-
atorial District, and served in that ca-
pacity for several years.
THE LATE WARD CHENEY.
The men in attendance at the annual
New York dinner of the Class of. Ninety-
Six on Saturday, January 27, adopted
the following:
It is with profound sorrow and a keen
realization of our irreparable loss that
at this meeting we, his classmates. are
called upon to take action on the death
of Ward Cheney, Yale ’06, First Lieu-
tenant, Fourth Infantry, U. S. A., who
died ‘at- Imus, *P:: 1; January - 7; 1000,
from wounds received in action. Be-
loved at Yale by all who knew him for
his affectionate nature, his generous and
manly judgment and his high ideals,
we each of us feel that by his death we
have lost a dear personal friend.
In his relations to his fellow men his
conduct was always marked by that
fairness and true-hearted sincerity which
endeared him to us all. Later, in the
field, fighting for the country he loved,
his great courage and his devotion to
the cause for which he gave his life
were marked by that snlendid and en-
thusiastic patriotism which made him
the fearless leader that he was,—the
highest type and example of an Ameri-
can soldier.
In his short life and its noble end, he
brought great honor upon the class and
the college he loved. ae
To his bereaved family we beg to offer
our heartfelt and warmest sympathy.

Death of Professor Hazen.
Professor Henry H. Hazen, formerly
an instructor in the Sheffield Scientific
School, died in Washington, D. C,,
January 23, his death being the result
of a bicycle collision, which fractured
his skull. He did not regain conscious-
ness after the accident. Mr. Hazen
was born in Serur, India, January 12,
1849. He was educated at St. Johns-
bury, Vt., and at Dartmouth College,
graduating from Dartmouth in 1871.
For the next four years he was instruc-
tor in drawing in the Sheffield Scientific
School, and for four years more was
Assistant to Professor Elias Loomis,
in Meteorology. On May 1, 1881, he
went to Washington to become computer
in the United States Signal Service, and
in October, 1887, became one of the
regular officers of the United States
Weather Service. Nine years ago he
received the appointment of Professor
of Meteorology of the Weather Bureau,
which he has since held.
While with Professor Loomis, at New
Haven, Prof. Hazen devised a new sys-
tem for reducing barometric observa-
tions to sea level which was adopted by
the Government Weather Service, and a
few years later he invented a form of
sling psychrometer with which he
showed that there was no difference in
evaporation from an ice and water
covered. thermometer. In 1885 the
Hazen thermometer shelter was adopted
by the Signal Service. In 1888 he pub-
lished a handbook of meteorological
tables which is still in daily use by prac-
tical meteorologists.
Professor Hazen wrote extensively for
the last ten or fifteen years of his life
on all departments of Meteorology. He
was tinmarried. :
