The Committee in charge of the Ninety-Four Sexennial are anxious to get the addresses of the men whose names are printed below. Responses should be sent to James Crosby Brown, 328 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa: Samuel $. Allen. Gustav A. Andreen. Edward H. Bronson. Henry W. Bunn. Frank S. Bunnell. James M. Cantwell.

Rest Fenner Smith, Jr. George M. Townsend. Walter A. Waterman. Ninety-Seven Triennial. In order to enable members of the Class, who through delay or indecision have failed, to respond to the notice of the Committee, it has been decided to extend the time in which the Commit- tee will receive applications from May 15th to June 5th. This is done in or- der to give an opportunity for the last lingering laggard to get under cover and any one who finds himself in this classification is urged to take advan- tage of this extension of time which is made in his behalf. We do not want anybody to be debarred from _ his Triennial, but on June 15 the Com- mittee must close its contracts and therefore it cannot guarantee to pro- vide applicants with seats at the ball game, places at the supper or room ac- commodations. The Committee is unable to ascertain the addresses of Tinley and J. L. Parke and requests information in regard thereto from anyone who is able to give it.

Charles Sherman Minor, ’41, died at his home in Honesdale, Pa., Sunday, May 6. Mr. Minor was born in Washington, Conn., Jan. 11, 1817, and fitted for Yale at Roxbury, Conn., where his family had moved. His tutor was Amasa B. Campbell, Yale ’33. After graduating he studied law under James Lowrey, Yale ’24, and after a year at the Yale Law School, was admitted to the New Haven bar. In 1844 he moved to Honesdale and has remained there, with the exception of a few short intervals, in the practice of law until the time of his death, when he was the oldest mem- ber of the Wayne County bar, and prob- bly the oldest active lawyer in the State. Mr. Minor gave much of his spare time to literary pursuits and was a deep stu- dent of history of the world’s religions. He was twice married, Miss Harriet I. Bach, his first wife, married in 1846, dying five months after her marriage. Two years later he married Miss Nancy P. Brown of Utica, N. Y., who survives him with two daughters, Misses Harriet E. and Katharine B. RICHARD STORRS WILLIS, 41. Richard Storrs Willis, ’41, died at his home in Detroit, Mich., Monday, _ May 7, from an attack of heart disease. Mr. Willis was born in Boston, Feb- ruary 10, 1819, and was the youngest brother of Nathaniel P. Willis, Yale 1827. He fitted for College at Chaun- cey Hall and the Boston Latin School. While in College he was prominently identified with the musical societies, be- ing President of the Beethoven Society in Sophomore and Senior years. Soon after graduation he went to Germany, studying music for six years, returning in 1848 to establish himself as a teacher of music and the German language in New Haven. On the advice of the late Charles A. Dana, he gave up the pro- fession of music and entered journalism, buying out the Musical Times, which he renamed the Musical World. Subse- quently, he established Once A Month, a magazine devoted to the interests of art, and published two treatises on church music, Our Church Music, and Church Chorals. His best known com- position was the “Anthem of Liberty,” which secured a prize offered for the best national song. Mr. Willis married Miss Jessie Carnes, September 30, 1851. She died in 1858, leaving three daughters, and in 1861 Mr. Willis married Mrs. Macomb Campau of Detroit, Mich., who survives him. For the last twenty years he has lived in Detroit, devoting himself, princi- pally, to literary pursuits. REV. DR. ROBERT AIKMAN, 743. Rev. Dr. Robert Aikman, ’43, died Saturday, May 12, at his home in Madi- son, N. J., from paralysis.

[From Woodward’s “ Insurance in Connecticut2’] The /Etna escaped the fire of December 16th, 1835, in New York City—the first in the Series of great American conflagrations—which destroyed property to the value of $15,000- 000, and bankrupted twenty-three out of twenty-six local insurance companies. It entered the city the following year, having for agent Augustus G. Hazard, afterwards the organizer and president of the Hazard Powder Company of Enfield. It was not so fortunate in the fire of 1845, which swept $6,000,000 of property from the business center of the metropolis, and cost the Aetna $115,000. When the news reached Hartford, Mr. Brace called together the directors and told them that the calamity would probably exhaust the entire resources of the company. Going to the fire-proof vault, he took out and laid on the table the stocks and bonds representing its investments. else to take the initiative. what will you do?’’ Do??? replied he. Little was said, each member waiting for some one At length the silence was broken by the question: “ Mr. Brace, “Go to New York and pointing to the packages, “‘and my fortune besi pay the losses if it takes every dollar there,’ des.”’ “ Good, good,” responded the others. “ We will stand by you with our fortunes also.” So it had always been with the Aetna in every crisis which it had before faced. The same spirit had carried this famous Company through where others had gone to the wall, This was the last close call for the 4tna. To-day with its cash capital of $4,000,000, a net surplus of nearly $5,000,000, and a system built on the priceless experience of eighty years, having a close call. , it is hardly possible to conceive of its
