Tliis will especially be brought al.oat through co-operation, and an un- visual opportunity is offered here for the consideration of all enthusiastic alumni and friends. The State of Rhode Island has a right not only to be proud of Brown but also of the distinguished ar- tists who were born in the State, or came here later on to play their part in de- veloping the artistic resources here. Look where you will, two of the important factors in the history of civilization are the academic influence of the college and the artistic influence of the artist. In no case is there conflict, but rather a com- munity of interest for the common good. In the same spirit of working foi' the public interest the Rhode Island S:;hool of Design is arranging for a special ex- hibition to be held coincident with the Anniversary Celebration of Brown next October. This is planned not only to re- veal the interest in art matters in the early years of the histoi-y of the College but especially to show as far as circum- stances permit the attainments of Rhode Island art at that time. We are very fortunate in having among our early citizens such men as Robert Feke, Malbone (the miniature painter) and Gilbert Stuart. Doubtless it will be comparatively difficult to se- cure many examples of the first-named artist, but of the last two the possibili- ities are much greater. Early portraits of hisboric as well as artistic interest to Rhode Island and Brown Universit}- also offer possible material. The School of Design is interested in getting together as fine a loan collection of this character as possible. The second phase of the exhibition will doubtless take the form of as im- portant a showing as possible of the arts and crafts of the period of the early his- tory of the University. This would in- clude such interesting material as colonial silver, early samplers and embroidery, pewter, applied metal work, jewelry, snuff-boxes, ornamental watches, earlv block -printed cottons, etc. This article is written as a personal appeal to each alumnus and friend of Brown l^niversity to advise the writer of the existence of an}' material of the l)est (luality, which might be avail- able for such an exhibition, either in his or her possession or in that of some friend. The Rhode Island School of De- sign in this way seeks to join with the other institutions of the city in working for the common interest, which next Oc- tober will be centred in fhe University Celebration. It is hoped that circumstances will be sucli that a special reception may be held as one of the features of the pro- gram of the week, in order that the ex- hibition may be more fully enjoyed. The exhibition as planned will be held in the galleries of the School of Design ; all material offered for exhibition will be subject to the approval of the Museum Committee. To make this })hase of the celebration a success the alumni should take a per- sonal interest in advising the writer of available material. It- is hoped that a wealth of material will be brought to the attention of the School of Design be- before June 20th. I trust that the ever- ready Brown spirit will find expression in a notable exhibition next fall. 205 AN OLDTIME PROGRAMME By William C. Burzoell, 1885 The piece of oldtime literature on the next page ma}' be of interest to the read- ers of the Alumni Monthly, as graduates of all ages will at once appreciate the great difference between now and 73 3'ears ago. The printing of this pro- gramme was doubtless considered a mas- terpiece then, and we can well imagine the "dim, religious light" of the old chapel and the almost solemn character of the exercises, beginning with the Or- atio Latina. However, say what we may, there was in those times an interest on the part of the audience, a pride in the success of the event, a hearty participation in the affair, that hardly obtains to-day. The participants were truly marked men in a community when fewer men proportion- ately had the privilege of going to col- lege. They felt the responsibility of the outcome as well as a pride in the part they placed and an audience of towns- folk including proud fathers, doting mothers, affectionate sisters and broth- ers and frequently, we doubt not, blush- ing sweethearts applauded and encored each part as an epoch-marking event. We could well use an additional in- voice of plain, unvarnished, ordinary' en- thusiasm to-da}' without impeding the progress of the dear old college but per- haps we must acknowledge that enthusi- asm to-day is split and divided into so many avenues that the wonder is that any waves reach the ear. My personal interest in this programme lies in the two facts that it was given by Mrs. Alfred Metcalf, a sister-in-law of Mr. Edwin Metcalf, who delivered the oration on "The Unconsciousness of Ge- nius," to my son, a junior in Brown, and a great-nephew of Mr. Joseph Randall Manton, who delivered the Oratio Latina. BROWN SWIMMERS BEAT CORNELL The Brown swimming team opened its season at home on Saturday evening, Feb. 14, by defeating the Cornell team in the Colgate Hoyt pool in a one-sided meet. The final score was Brown 38, Cornell 15, and Brown won first place in each of the six events except the 220- yard swim, which went to Eisele of Cor- nell. Capt Smith of Brown was the individ- ual star of the meet, winning first place in the 50-yard dash and tieing for first in the diving contest with his teammate. La Roe. He scored 7 1-2 points. Although almost all of the races were fairly close, none was marked by unus- ually fast time. The Ithacans were not in the best of condition, having com- peted — and won — against Harvard at Cambridge the night before. The summary of the meet is as follows : Relay race 200 yards — Won by Brown (Ingersoll, Tobelmann, Hull and Smith) ; 206 Cornell (Bowers, Hummell, Eisele and Kohn). Time 1 minute 55 seconds. 50-yard dash — Won by Smith, Brown ; second, Kohn, Cornell; third, Mclntyre, Brown. Time, 27 seconds. 100-yard swim — Won by Hall, Brown ; second, Hummell, Cornell ; third, Kohn, Cornell. Time, 1 minute 5 4-5 seconds. 220-yard swim^ — Won b}' Eisele, Cor- nell ; second, McLaughlin, Brown ; third, Zimm, Cornell. Time, 2 minutes 57 seconds. Plunge — Won b}' Williamson, Brown, 55 feet 6 inches ; second, Poland, Brown, 49 feet 3 inches; third Eisele, Cornell, 43 feet 6 inches. Diving contest — Smith and La Roe, both of Brown, tied for first place with 128.2 points; third Baugher of Cornell with 110.4 points. Final score: Brown 38; Cornell 15.

BROWN UNIVERSITY DOCTORS' CLUB On the initiative of several Brown graduates who are practising medicine in New York, especially Dr. E. S. Gushee, 'OH, there has recently been formed the Brown University Doctors" Clul) in New York. At a meeting held at the Brown Club No. 44 West 44th st., on January 12, the following officers were elected : Presi? inorni"S of the second semester were ih'voted to a coni- memoration of the seventieth birthday of ex- President Andrews. Addresses were made by Professors Manatt and Everett and a short poem was read by Mr. Koopman. The second lecture in the series of three which Professor H. E. Walter. President of the Audu- bon Society of Rhode Island, is givinj? to the members of the society was given Feb. 11, in Rhode Island Hall. He spoke on the subject, "Bird Migration." Mr. Koopman spoke before the People's Fo- rum of Providence, Sunday evening, Feb. 8, on "The Day-book of Happiness, discussing the new "pleasure economy" in its relation to soci- ciety and the individual. Professor Gorham has been appointed Deputy Milk Inspector of Providence by the Superin- tendent of Health. His new duties will not pre- vent Professor Gorham from continuing his work at the University. President Faunce has been appointed one of the trustees of the new Peace Fund provided by Andrew Carengie for Mork through the churches. The announcement of the gift was made at the close of a luncheon at Mr. Carnegie's home, at- tended by the trustees of the new foundation. The trustees organized "The Church Peace Un- ion," which will be incorporated under the laws of New York State. The income of the fund will be used to organize the moral power of the churches on critical international questions, to circulate peace literatiu'e among the clergy, and to bring about the annual observance of a "Peace Sunday." The Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island has paid the following tribute to Professor Upton: "The standing committee of the diocese of Rhode Island experienced a sense of personal grief as well as official loss bv the death on Jan. 8, 1914., of Professor Winslow Upton, Sc. D., Di- rector of Ladd Observatory and head of the de- partment of astronomj' in Brown University, this profound man of science was equally a man of religious faith, so serviceable indeed in pa- rochial and diocesan work that he will be as keenly missed in the life of the church as in the life of the University. He has zealously served this diocese for many years and in many capa- cities — in diocesan convention and general con- vention, on standing committee and Cathedral corporation, on committees for Christian educa- tion andChristian Unity and as Treasurer of di- ocesan missions. Prof. Upton was an ideal type of the Christian gentleman, modest and patient, courteous and considerate, kindlj' in word and deed, possessing a marked sense of humor whose (|uiet flow never left a sting, but made life lus- trous with good cheer. How graciously he gave himself to church tasks requiring painstaking industry and infinite attention to details! Prob- lems did not daunt him. they seemed to delight him. He had a genius for solving difficult situ- ations. Like Daniel of old, 'an excellent spirit was in him," and like the Psalmist he made it his rule to 'serve the Lord with gladness.' " Professor Hardy Cross has been elected an honorary member of the Brown chapter of Sig- ma Xi. Professor Archibald contributed to the Bulle- tin of the American Mathematical Society for December a paper on the German mathema- tician. Heinrich Martin Weber In Science for Feb. 6 Professor Archibald has a two-page notice of Professor Upton and his work. Professor Langdon has now completed the first draft of his translation of Dante's Divine Come- dy. The translation is in blank-verse, and those who have seen it pronounce it superior both in exactness and in poetic quality to any other Eng- lish translation. We trust that the present an- niversary year will be marked by the publication of this monumental work. President Faunce will speak at the convention of the Religious Education Association at New Haven, Sunday evening, March 8. President S. C. Mitchell of Richmond will speak. March 6, on " Education in Relation to Women and the Home." President Meiklejohn of Amherst will speak, March 5, on "Successes and Failures of Self-Government and the Relation of Self-Gov- ernment to Efficient Citizenship." Professor MacDonald will speak, March 7, on "The Rela- tions of Professional Training to Citizenship and Social Character." Dean King spoke at Richmond. Va., on Janu- nary '29, in the House of Delegates, before the Legislature and many public spirited citizens, in behalf of a bill before the Legislature recom- mending a co-ordinate college to be established in connection with the University of Virginia. Before the meeting, a large reception was given Miss King by those interested in the bill. Dean King went as a delegate from Brown University to Goucher College, Baltimore, on February 9, to the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the college and the inauguration of its new President, Dr. Guth. Mr. Mitchell, of the German department, con- tributed to Modern Language Notes for Febru- ary an article on "Poe and Spielhagen, Novelle and Short-story." Alumni 180T Dr. A. B. Judson, "59, has issued a revised edition of his pamphlet on his fiither. "How Judson Became a Baptist Missionary. 184-3 Rev.

He was a great-grandson of Randall Holden, one of the founders of Rhode Island, and his mother was a direct descendant of Roger Williams. He prepared for college at the Uni- versitj' Grammar School. From 1866 to 1911 he held a seat on the Stock Exchange and was ac- tively engaged in business as a stock broker in New York. He was also organizer of the Sec- ond National Bank, of which he was the first cashier. Between 1887 and 1890 he was a mem- ber of the board of governors of the Stock Ex- change, and from 1878 to 1881 was on the board of supervisors of Kings county. He mar- ried, Dec. 18, 1861, Fannie A. Childs of Hart- ford, Ct., by whom he had eight children, three of whom survive him. 1853 Charles Phelps, M. D., died Dec. 30, at the home of his son in New York citj% He was born in Massachusetts, in Dec, 1834, the son of Thad- deus and Mary Phelps. He was prepared for Brown at Norwich University, Vt. He received the degree of M. D. from Columbia in 1858, and was for more than forty years a member of the visiting staff of St. Vincent's and Bellevue hos- pitals. He was an acting assistant surgeon in the United States army during the Civil War. He was twice Health Officer of the Port of New York, and was several times president of the New York State Medical Association. He was the author of "Traumatic mjuries of the brain and its membranes,'' and of various monographs on surgical subjects. He married in 1863 Isabel Marguerite James, by whom he had one son, Louis James Phelps. Nearlj' one hundred schoolmasters and state and city officials gave a dinner at the State Normal School. Feb. x?l, to David Webster Hoyt, A. M., '72. in honor of his completion of sixty years of teaching and fifty yearsas principal of the Prov- idence English High School. A loving cup was presented to Mr. Hoyt at the close of the exer- cises. 1858 Col. Robert H. I. Goddard sailed Feb. 14 for Cuba, the Isthmus and some of the smaller isl- ands of the West Indies. He Mas accompanied by his son. R. H. Ives Goddard, Jr. 1861 Rev. Sumner Upham Shearman died in Jamaica Plain, Mass,. Feb. 15. He was born in Wickford, R. I., Aug. '27. 1839, the son of Sylvester G. and Mary E. Shearman. He was prepared for college at the South Berwick. Me., Academy, and at the Providence High School. The year following his graduation from Brown, he enlisted in Company A, the Fourth Rhode Island Volunteers. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant, but soon rose to the post of Captain. He saw much active service, taking part in the engagements at Antietam, Freder- icksburg and the Crater. Captured by the Con- federate troops, he spent six months in the Southern prison at Columbia, S. C. He was recording clerk of the Rhode Island House of Representatives. 1865-68, and reading clerk of the Senate, 1868-70. He studied law and was admitted to the Rhode Island bar in 1868. Later he determined to become a clergyman, and, while continuing to practise law by day, he studied for the ministry by night. Ordained a deacon in 1874, he became associated Mith Trinity Church in Woburn. Mass. In 1875 he was made a priest, and the next year he answered a call from St. John's Church in Jamaica Plain, where he remained throughout the rest of his life. Largely through his determined efforts the church society was able to erect the handsome stone edifice which it now occupies, as well as to free the parish of debt. Dr. Shearman retired as active head of the parish in 1908. He mar- ried Miss Mary Wyman of Woburn, June 2, 1877. They had a son, Nathan G. Shearman, and a daughter, Marion, who is now Mrs. Max Ordway Whiting of Brookline. Both Mrs. Shearman and Mrs. Whiting survive him. The University conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon Mr. Shearman in 1899. He was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fraternitj' and prominent in the Masonic fraternity and Grand Army circles. 1865 The weekly vesper services were resumed Feb. 11, at 5 o'clock, when Rev. Edward Judson, D. D., pastor of Memorial Baptist Church of New York city, preached in Saj'les Hall. In the ev- ening Dr. Judson held a personal conference in the Brown Union with students who wished to consult him and spoke on the topic: "Is Chris- tianitj' Worth Spreading?" Warren Richmond Perce, well known lor many years as an attorney and as a leader in Rhode Island temperance work, was stricken by heart failure as he was about to retire at night on Feb. 10, and died within a short time. He was a son of Jeremiah B. and Sarah (Horton) Perce, and was born in Rehoboth, Mass., June 39, 1843, He was educated in the common schools of Providence and at Brown, from which he re- ceived the degree of A. B., and in 1898 the honorary degree of Doctor of Science in recog- nition of his book, "Genesis and Modern Sci- ence," published in the previous year. He studied law in the office of Charles S. Bradley in Providence and was admitted to the Rhode Isl- and bar in 1867 and later to the bar of the United States Courts for the District of Rhode Island. He engaged in the general practice of law, and also in patent law and the soliciting of patents. For 16 years he was associated with William B. W. Hallett under the firm name of Perce & Hal- lett, but later was alone. He was elected by the Republican party as a Representative of the city of Providence to the General Assembly of 1891- 9^. Mr. Perce was deeply interested in the cause of temperance and came into prominence during the campaign for constitutional prohibition in Rhode Island. He personally drafted the pro- hibitory law after a full study of the statutes and court decisions in this and many other States, and was very active in the advocacy of the pro- posed law in many public hearings before legis- lative committees. After a prolonged struggle, the law was passed, though considerably weak- ened by amendments. By force of circumstances and at length by appointment of Governor Taft he prosecuted many cases of violation of this law. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 221 Out of more than -iCO cases jxrscrally prose- cuted by him he lost only four. Mr. Perce was an active member of the Beneficent Confi'rega- tional Church for about HH years and served as deacon of tliat church for about IH years. From 1909 he was a member of the Free Evang'elieal Congregational Church. He was earnestly en- gaged in Sunday school work, beginning as a teacher when 1(5 years old, and serving as su- perintendent of several schools, but his most use- ful work was in c-onduc-ting l;irge Bible classes. Mr. Perce married, Oct. ^8. 1884, Miss Annie E. Kenyon, who died Nov. 20, 1913. 1866 Rev. John A^inleuven Osterhout died at his home in Providence, Feb. 17. He was born in Lackawack, Ulster County, N. Y., Jan. 2, 1837. After a prejiaratory education at the Roxbury, N. Y., Academy, and at Colgate Academy, Hamilton, N. Y., he entered Brown. After graduation he entered Newton Theological Insti- tution, graduating in 1869. He was ordained to the Baptist ministry in the same year and settled at once in Webster. Mass., where he remained until 1837. He had pastorates in New York City, 1873-5; Peekskill, N. Y., 1875-7; Bing- hamton, N. Y., 1877-8; Castile, N. Y.. 1878-81. He came in the latter year to the Broadway Bap- tist Church, Providence, where he increased the membership from 150 to 1000. This remarkable increase came through a steady growth during the years of his active pastorate. His Sunday school grew to be the largest in the State, num- bering nearly 1000. he himself conducting a class which started with one pupil and increased to over 100. He resigned from the church Sept. 1, 1907, on account of his health. He was a life member of the American Baptist Foreign Mis- sionary Society and of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society. He was an untiring- worker in church aflFairs and maintained a posi- tion of unusual intimacy and sympathy among his parishoners. He married Sept. 16, 1879, Miss Martha Hasseltine Fuller of Castile, N. Y., who survives him. He is also survived by a son. Prof. W. J. V. Osterhout. "93, professor of Botanj' at Harvard. 1873 William E. Caldwell is Secretary of the Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior Univer- sity, with office at li Montgomery st.. San Francisco. 1875 William Chace Greene spoke before the Rhode Island Historical Society Feb, 10 on ''Mexico and the Mexicans," 1876 The name of Dr. Chapin appears in the cata- logue of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology as lecturer on Municipal Sanitation. Classes from the Institute visit Providence to re- ceive instruction as to the routine work of the Health Department. Dr. Chapin will also give a few lectures at the School for Health Officers re- cently established jointly by the Harvard Medi- cal School and the Institute of Technology. The Governor of Rhode Island has signed a bill making the Superintendent of Health of Providence ex officio the Milk Inspector of the city. This is the result of a popular uprising against the jjrevious conduct of the Providence milk department and is a great personal tribute to Dr. Chapin, in whom his fellow townsmen have absolute confidence. 1877 Rev. Thomas E. Bartlett is special agent for tiie "Concentration of Effort Plan" which aims to strengtiieii the small Baijtist churches in Rhode Island. 1881 Justice Hughes has been elected a trustee of the University of Chicago. 188-2 A beautiful stained glass window, erected in memory of John Augustine Sanford, was un- veiled Jan. 3, at Adelphi College, where Dr. Sanford was a professor at the time of his death. The memorial is a beautiful double window, rep- resenting a Grecian scene, with temple ruins and a peaceful valley. It is inscribed: "Integer Vitae Scelerisque Purus "John Augustine Sanford "Amici Hoc Faciendum Curant." Dr. Charles H. Levermore, former president of Adelphi College, gloMingly eulogized Dr. San- ford. "His loyalty," he said, "never bore the slightest taint of self-seeking; he was truthful- ness incarnate; cant, affectation and deceit had noplace in his life; both his speech and his life were altogether translucid." Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Central Congregational Church and acting president of Adelphi College, said he had been strongly impressed with his character and lovable personality as few of the thousands of men and women he has met have impressed him. He also spoke eloquently of Dr. Sanford's fidelity to his duty and his calling, and characterized him as "a lover of God and a lover of goodness." 1883 Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, D. D., of Topeka, Kansas, author of "In His Steps," made sev- eral addresses in Providence during February, speaking at a temperance rally in the Central Baptist Church, Feb. 25. On Feb. 2i he address- ed the students at the morning chapel service. Joel N. Eno has published a closely-printed pamphlet of 30 pages, entitled "Bio-philosophy; or. The meaning of comparative physiology, com- parative psychology, and organic evolution." 1884. Rev. Augustus E. Scoville of the First Baptist Church, Melrose, Mass., presented on January 19 in place of the sermon a review of his four- teen years of Mork with the church, in view of the close of his pastorate in March. The present membership of 61-i shows a net gain of 220. The expenditures of over §7,500, including $1,700 for beneficence, but not including money raised by societies that does not pass through the hands of the church treasurer, show steady advance. Besides, in the seven years more than $80,000 has been expended on account of the new build- ing, which was completed, fully subscribed, in 1907. 222 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 1886 Norman M. Isham is giving a course of ten lectures at the Rhiode Island School of Design on the History of Architecture. 1890 Miss Ellen C. Snow, daughter of the late Da- vid Snow of Boston, was married to Professor Charles H. Forbes of Andover, at Wayland, Mass., Jan. 3. Rev. W. T. Green has completed twenty years as pastor of the Baptist church at Natick. He is a leader in developing the Narragansett As- sembly, a summer school for Sunday school teachers at East Greenwich. He is also treas- urer of the Anti-Saloon League of Rhode Island. 1893 The Boston Herald says: "The selection of Edward A. Thurston of Fall River for the chair- manship of the Republican state committee is in all respects admirable. He is young, aggress- ive and full of enthusiasm. Accepting the office at some sacrifice of his profession, he deserves the hearty support of his associates in the com- mittee as well as of the rank and file of the party throughout the state." Thurston was an editor of the Brown Daily Heraid and was prominent in athletic management in college. The Columbia Alumni News says: "The de- cision of Dr. William Dawson Johnston, the Li- brarian of the University, to resign his position at Columbia in order to become head of the largely endowed public library of St. Paul, Min- nesota, caused regret to the many friends he had made here during his four years of devoted and arduous service. A detailed account of the work accomplished by him will be found elsewhere in this number. Here we desire to emphasize Dr. Johnston's broad loyalty to the University as a whole and the spirit of idealism with which he approached the problems of his position. To the large practical knowledge and experience of li- brary methods evidenced in many improvements in service and epuipment he added a high sense of the dignity of his profession, and perhaps his greatest contribution to Columbia's welfare will be found to lie not so much in the concrete ad- ministrative achievements described in our arti- cle as in the unostentatious influence exerted by his ideals with regard to the position of the li- brary in the university system. He was as far as possible from viewing the Library as a mere laboratory for advanced students, nor did he be- lieve that the sole function of a university libra- rian is to perform within a narrow sphere what- ever routine service a special group of profes- sors and students mav happen for the moment to demand. He thought that the Library ex- isted to serve not only each and every member of the University family but all the interests in- tellectual, aesthetic, spiritual of all those mem- bers. Nay more— he recognized his obligations as Librarian to his fellow librarians, and to scholars, readers, collectors, and lovers of books as things beautiful, both in New York and in the country at large. He encouraged exhibitions of rare books and of splendid examples of the arts of the binder and the illustrator; he sought to es- tablish relations between the Library and the bibliophiles of the nation; he represented the Library worthily at professional gatherings; and, last but not least, he fostered an interest in bi- bliography. In other words, he has served the University best in precisely those respects in which he has served his profession most loyally and efficiently, and we trust that in his new po- sition he will have full opportunity for similar catholic work and influence." The Nation says: "Some of the best essays in English on the principles and purposes of education are found in ' Essays for College Men ' (Holt). The first is President Wilson's Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard on 'The Spirit of Learning.' This is followed bj' President Meikle- john's inaugural address, which is increasingly recognized as one of the ablest defences of hu- mane studies and the cultural college." 1894 Clayton S. Cooper is writing a series of news- paper articles on education in the East. He points out the unfortunate emphasis on memor- izing in Oriental training. He shows the lack of higher educational institutions in Japan, and de- scribes the religious ferment now pervading the Orient. Mr. Cooper offers, under the manage- ment of the Pond Lyceum Bureau, seven illus- trated lectures: Student hfe in the Orient; Re- ligions of many lands; English student life; The man of Egypt; The Bible around the world; Why go to college; The coming man of the Orient. 1896 James Wylie Rose died at his home at El Paso, Texas, Jan. '■29, 1913. He was born at Snider, Stewart County, Tenn., Feb. 4, 1867, the son of James A. and Harriet A. Rose. He graduated from Peabody Normal College in 189'3, and re- ceived the degree of A. B. from the University of Nashville in 1893. After leaving Brown he taught mathematics in Strawn College, Texas; Blandville College, Ky. ; he was principal of Waverly Training School, Tenn., and of Wick- liffe Public School, Ky. Afterwards he became a Baptist minister. Tubercular disease finally forced him to give up his occupation, and he removed to El Paso. Texas, where he died. He married April 3, 1901, Miss Sammie Lanier of Waverly, Tenn., who, with one or more children, survives him. 189T Professor Gregory D. Walcott, Ph. D., of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology of Hamline University, St. Paul, Minn., had an ar- ticle in Science for August 8 on "The Final Ex- amination of Seniors in Americin Colleges."

Harold S. Capron is joint-compiler of a booklet of "Scripture Selections" for School and Sunday School use. Zion's Advocate thus speaks of the close of Rev. M. J. Twomey's pastorate in Portland, Me.: The closing of so notable a pastorate as that of Rev. M. Joseph Twomej^ with the First Baptist Church. Portland, demands more than a c-asual mention. The record made by pastor and church during the past eight years is a remark- able one, and it is doubtful whether with re- spect to practical results it has ever been equalled by a Baptist church in the State of Maine. Mr. Twomey is a graduate of Brown Universitj' and Newton Theological Institution. In June, 1903. immediately after graduating at Newton, he was ordained as pastor of the church in Danielson, Conn., where he remained until October, 1905, when he was called to Portland to take up the work at the First Baptist Church. In addition to tiie work pertaining to his own church, Mr. Two- inej' has been much in demand for service throughout the city and the State. His congre- gations have been exceedingly large, numbering many who had no church affiliations, but who iiave found in the genial, large-hearted pastor a personal friend and helper. The regret that he is to leave Portland is felt by all classes in the city. Charles G. Richardson gave a lantern slide lec- ture on "The Venturi Meter and its Recent Ap- plications," at the January meeting of the Prov- idence Association of Mechanical Engineers. 1901 J. G.
