He  was  born  in  Reading,  Mass.,  on  Janu 
ary  10,  1855,  where  he  attended  high  school. 
His  degree  was  granted  by  the  Massachusetts 
Institute  of  Technology  at  Boston 
in  1876. 
Since  that 
time  he  had  followed  closely  his 
study  of  birds  and  the  ways  of  nature.  From

taught  science  in  a  normal  college  near  his 
home. 
In  1882  he  married  Elizabeth  Whithall 
of  Rochester,  N.  Y.  From  1882  to  1884  he 
was  an  instructor  in  biology  at  Wesleyan  col

in  that  capacity  for  eight  years, 
during  which  he  also  delivered  a  series  of  lec 
tures  on  economic  ornithology  at  the  Maryland 
Agricultural  college. 

In  February  1894  he  came  to  M.  A.  C.  and 
had  become  a  permanent  part  of  the 
institu

that  the  campus  was  kept  free  from  deface

birds

taking  an  interest  in  the  affairs  of  the  college 
community.  During  its  earliest  days  he  was 
an  assistant  editor  of  T HE  RECORD.  He  con

In  the  study

years  everyone  has  been  wondering  what  has 
become  of  me.  Well  here  I  am  again,  Doctor, 
ready  to  display  the  old  "enth-oo-si-asma." 

In

lost  my 

first  place  I 

father  very 
suddenly  January  2  and  that  is  what  brings  me 
back  to  my  original  address. 
I  am  employed 
by  the  Steel  Furniture  company,  which  manu 
factures  a  line  of  opera  chairs,  school  desks 
and  metal  stampings,  as  factory  engineer.  My 
position  covers  a  multitude  of  sins,  as  it  were, 
having  in  charge  the  engineer  department,  de 
signing,  estimating,  shop  efficiency, 
specifica 
tions,  etc. 
I  like  it  very  much  and  am  glad 
to  get  back  to  G.  R. 

I  have  changed  considerably, 

though  using 
hair  tonic  to  coax  the  fine  ones,  wear  specs 
and  drive  a  Ford.  However  I  have  two  very 
good  prospects  for  M.  A.  C,  a  boy,  Robert 
Joseph,  nigh  three  years  old,  who  is  a  chip 
off  the  old  block  and  a  girl  one  year  old  who 
can  jabber  as  much  as  most  women. 

During  this  cold  weather  we  try  ,to  comfort 
ourselves  by  saying  "we  have  Sommer 
the 
year  round  at  our  house."  Certainly  would  be 
glad  to  welcome  any  M.  A.  C.  folkks  at  our 
home. 

Here's  hoping  all  the  members  of  C.  C.  C. 
&  S.  and  the  Mystic  . Order  of  Nuts 
are 
reached  by  this  note  for  I  want  to  say  hello 
It  certainly  makes  me  feel  good 
to  everybody. 
to  know  that  the  students  of 
today  have  all 
the  real  advantages  of  college  life,  the  gym,
