T he anarchistic disregard of the rights and comfort of others shows itself as frequently among this class of people as in the rankest hotbeds of ultra-social ism, where there is far more excuse for it. In this case the community should certainly take some measures to protect itself, and should at least hold to account its county official or officials, if carelessly or wantonly they have given away the rights of this community. T he State has suffered a serious loss in the death of William Cham berlain, warden of the State prison. M r. Chamberlain was a brother of Henry Chamberlain, formerly mem ber of the State Board of Agricul ture, and an uncle of Paul Chamber lain, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering in this College from '93 to '96, and now professor in the Institute, Chicago. Mr. Lewis Chamberlain had remarkable qual ities of heart and mind which made him peculiarly in the office which he held. Those w ho knew him best and were most closely associated with him, valued him most highly and speak in terms of warmest praise.
