YALE NOTICES.
[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 OBITUARIES.
DR. 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.
