[Class and Association Secretaries are invited to contribute to this column.] Special Notice te Secretaries and Committees. We have one or two suggestions to make to class and association secre- taries about notices of meetings. In the first place, we urge all who have not made free use of the notice column of the WEEKLY to do so. It is becom- ing properly. the means of sending notices to class members and associa- tion members.- It ought to be possible to make use of it almost exclusively for a large number of such purposes. In the second place, we advise putting in every thing in the first notice that will help to accomplish the end within reasonable limits of space. We suggest that in cases where it is desirable to re- a notice taking up one or two lines and calling attention to the former one, is the best way to accomplish this. As an alternative, we stiggest a change of the notice in each issue, making all but the first one as brief and concise as possible. 3 ciation secretaries have found it very useful to inform the men whom they wished to reach through the WEEKLY, as to just what the prospects are for each particular reunion from week to week. This attacks the interest of the reader from a new standpoint every time. It is the desire of the WEEKLY to further the use of this notice col- — umn as much as possible, and we think it in order for secretaries of classes or associations, which have any considera- able number of non-subscribers in their number, to remind such men of the usefulness to them of the WEEKLY in this respect. This office will provide typewritten notices in that line to any who ask for them, and they can be signed by the Secretary. YALE ALUMNI: WEEKLY. Ninety-Eight Dinner.

WILLIAM WOODBRIDGE RODMAN, 738. Dr. William Woodbridge Rodman, ’38, died at his home in New Haven, Friday, March 30, of bronchitis. Dr. Rodman was born in Stonington, Conn., April 1, 1817, preparing for Col. lege at the Stonington Academy. After graduation from Yale he spent a year or two teaching in the Stonington Acad- emy, but was obliged to give it up on account of failing health. He then turned his attention to medicine and in 1844 received his degree of M.D. from the Jefferson Medical College, Philadel- phia, settling in Waterbury, Conn., for his first practice. Almost forty years ago he moved to New Haven, and has since lived and practiced here. A ‘widow, three sons and two. daughters survive him. JOHN J. JENNINGS, 776. John J. Jennings, ’76, senior partner of the law firm of Newell & Jennings, died at his home in Bristol, Conn., Sun- day, April 1, after an illness of just one week, from pneumonia. - For a short time after graduation from College, Mr. Jennings was in the United States Pension Office at Chicago and then went to Bristol, where he taught school and prepared himself in law. He was admitted to the law firm of Newell, Pierce & Jennings, in 1881, the firm afterward becoming Newell & Jennings, by the withdrawal of Mr. Pierce. As a lawyer he has been very successful, especially in patent law, and he has been retained in many important cases, his practice being largely in United States courts. But his great work and that for which he is especially remembered, is the building of the school system in Bristol. He was for fifteen years acting school visitor and by his efforts was inaugurated a system of graduation, both from the common schools and the high school, which is unique in itself and most encouraging to the pupils. His in- terest in school work was earnest and real and he took an intelligent, personal interest in the welfare of all the pupils. . | : ee 2 : | e is peat these notices one or more times, _ Class secretaries and asso-.
