and entered Yale withthe Class af
Thirty-Nine. He left College before his
Freshman year was ended. Later he
studied Theology and was successively
pastor of Congregational churches at

PROF. EDWARD W. ROBBINS, 743.
Prof. Edward W. Robbins, ’43, ‘an
invalid for many years past, died at his
home in Kensington, Conn., Nov. 7,
1899.
Prof. Robbins was afflicted with poor
health the greater part of his life and _
was obliged several times to give up his
work of teaching and travel in the
South. He was at one time a teacher
in the State Normal School at New
Britain and later a private tutor in the
family of Governor Engs of Rhode

JOHN SIMON BOSSLER, EX-’51.
John Simon Bossler, ex-’51, died at
his home in Myerstown, Pa., Friday,
February 9. :
Mr. Bossler was born in 1828, and
entered Yale with the Class of Fifty-
One, but remained only one year. He
studied a year in the Yale Law School,
but did not graduate. In 1852 he was
admitted to the bar in Myerstown, Pa.,
but immediately moved to Philadelphia,
where he was elected a member of the
City Council.
He later moved to his old home at
Myerstown, where he has since resided.
For the past twenty years Mr. Bossler
has lived the life of a recluse, seeing
only his nearest relatives.
HENRY CORNELIUS ROBINSON, 753.
The Honorable Henry Cornelius
Robinson, ’53, died at his home on Main
street, Hartford, Wednesday morning,
February 14. For several months Mr.
Robinson has suffered from rheumatism,
an old affliction with him, and com-
plicated of late with some symptoms of
gout. About a month ago his condition
caused him to keep his room. He suf-
fered a great deal, and about a week
before his death symptoms of congestion
of the brain appeared. From that time
he failed rapidly. :
Henry Cornelius Robinson was born
in Hartford, August 28, 1832. He was
descended from the first Puritan set-
tlers of New England. He was educated
at the Hartford Grammar School, and
the Hartford Public High School after
the latter’s consolidation with the Gram-
mar School. From there he went to
Yale, graduating with honors with the
Class of Fifty-Three. Yale gave him
the degree of LL.D. in 1888.
After graduation Mr. Robinson studied
law in the office of his older brother,
Lucius F. Robinson. It was in the lat-
ter’s honor that the Lucius F. Robinson
Latin prizes were established in 1887 by
his daughters, of Hartford, one of whom,
Miss Eliza Trumbull Robinson, died
very recently in Hartford. In 1861
Lucius F. Robinson died. Mr. Robin-
son continued in business alone until
1888, when his oldest son, Lucius F.
Robinson, ’85, became a member of the
firm. John T. Robinson, 793, was ad-
mitted recently, the style of the firm
having been changed to Robinson &
Robinson. The firm is one of the best
_ known in Connecticut. !
Mr. Robinson held many high offices.
He was indeed one of the most con-

more than a generation, and very well
known all through this part of the
country. He was always a Republican
in politics. He was elected Mayor of
Hartford in 1872, overcoming a large
Democratic majority. His term as
Mayor. became an example and a high
standard for that office. During his
administration, Hartford became the

taking an important part in the move-
ment. In 1879 Mr. Robinson’ was
elected a member of the General Assem-
bly. “His prominence in public affairs,”
says the Hartford Courant, “and his
legal knowledge and brilliant eloquence
made him chairman of the judiciary
committee and leader of the House. He
was successful in procuring the enact-
ment of several important matters of
legislation which included the change in
legal procedure. Always a Republican
in politics from the formation of the
party, Mr. Robinson continued to sup-
port its principles all through life, and
his influence in party politics was always
felt. He received the Republican nom-
ination for governor three times, in the
Spring of 1876, the Fall of the same year
and again in 1878, at the celebrated con-
vention in Allyn Hall, when he declined,
and Governor Andrews was nominated
and was subsequently elected by the
General Assembly, the greenback defec-
tion from the Democratic party throw-
ing the election into the Legislature.
Each nomination Mr. Robinson received
was by acclamation. He was a member
of the national Republican convention at
Chicago in 1880 as one of the delegates
from this State, which nominated Gar-
field and Arthur, and he drafted a large
portion of the platform which was fin-
ally adopted. Mr. Robinson was _ ten-
