TRINITY MEN Whose Deaths were Reported During the Year 1930-1931

Hartford, Connecticut July, 1931 PREFATORY NOTE.

This Obituary Record is the eleventh issued, the plan of devoting the July issue of the Bulletin to this use having been adopted in 1918. The data here pre­ sented have been collected through the persistent efforts of the Treasurer of the College, who makes it his con­ cern to secure and preserve as full a record as possible of the activities of Trinity men as well as anything else having value for the history of the College. Readers who find it in their power to correct errors or to contribute further information will confer a great favor if they will at once communicate with the Treas­ urer, Roger H. Motten, Litt.D. Material corrections and additions will be incorporated in the next issue of the Necrology. Attention is particularly called to those alumni, for whose biographies we have only meagre data. It is hoped that relatives and friends may be able to supply additional information, so that an adequate :record may be preserved. ARTHUR ADAMS. OBITUARY RECORD

36 TRINITY COLLEGE Charles Frederick Johnson Faculty Class of 1909-honorary Charles Frederick Johnson, Professor of English Literature from 1883 to 1906, when he became Professor Emeritus, died at his home in Hartford, January 9, 1931, at the great age of ninety­ five. Though he retained his health and his interest in people and things to the end, for the last two years, he had been confined to the house, because of failing strength. Dr. Johnson was beloved by the Trinity men who came under his teaching during a period of nearly a quarter of a century, and his passing away means much to them, though naturally he was not so well known to Trinity men of a more recent date. The funeral service was conducted by President Ogilby of the College, assisted by Professor Arthur Adams, on the afternoon of Monday, January 12, 1931, at the Johnson home on Vernon Street. The interment was at Cedar Hill Cemetery. In 1928, the College published a book entitled : In Honor of the Nineteenth Birthday of Charles Frederick Johnson, Pro­ fessor of English in Trinity College, 1883-1906; Papers, Essays, and Stories by his former Students. Since this volume contains an account of Professor Johnson's ancestry, no further account need be given here. Professor Charles Frederick Johnson, son of Charles Fred­ erick Johnson and Sarah Dwight-Woolsey, was born in New York City, May 8, 1836. His father, when he was a small child, removed to Owego, Tioga County, New York, on the north branch of the Susquehanna River. Here in this beautiful region Doctor Johnson grew up and received his preparation for college, largely from his father. Conditions were somewhat primitive in this part of New York State in his boyhood. He well remembered when the first hard coal (anthracite) was brought up the river from Wilkes-Barre, and remembered the introduction of the tele­ graph, an invention in which his father was much interested and on which he had himself carried on experimental work. He entered Yale with the class of 1885 at the age of fifteen, being next to the youngest man in the class. He was a member of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity, received the second Mathematical Prize in 1853, and was a member of the University Crew in 1855, rowing against the Harvard Crew of which President Eliot was a member. He was elected a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and on his OBITUARY RECORD 37

graduation .with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1855, he was appointed a Commencement Orator. Notwithstanding his predominant interest in literature, Dr. Johnson was all his life interested in Mathematics and in the prac­ tical applications of Mathematics to engineering problems. He had unusual mechanical skill, and always found recreation in working with his hands in his own workshop. After his graduation, he returned to his home in Owego, and studied engineering, intending to make that profession his life work. He worked in Cleveland and in Detroit. Not unnaturally the law made its appeal to him, and he re­ tur.ned to Owego in 1858 to begin its study. He was admitted to the bar in November, 1861, at Binghamton, and practiced from 1861 to 1865. In 1865 he accepted an invitation to become Assistant Pro­ fessor of Mathematics at the Naval Academy at Annapolis where his brother, William Woolsey Johnson, Yale 1862, was also 'an Assistant Professor of Mathematics. Here he remained until 1870. During this period Admirals Dewey, Sampson, and Schley were ·all instructors at the Academy. The Reverend George Williamson Smith, later President of Trinity College, w~s then Chaplain at the Naval Academy. The friendship formed at that time resulted in Professor Johnson's coming to Trinity College some fifteen or more years later. In 1870, Professor Johnson left Annapolis to engage in en­ gineering work for the Buffalo Bridge Company. He designed several large bridges, one of them 1,600 feet long. Later he re­ turned to Owego, and with Senator Platt and others he was associated with a company making agricultural implements, such as grain drills, seeders, etc. From 1879 to 1881, he was a special agent for the United States Census Bureau. In 1883, at the instance of his former colleague at the Naval Academy, President George Williamson Smith, he became Pro­ fessor of English Literat~re in Trinity College. He was one of a notable Group who came into the faculty at that time; including in addition to himself and President Smith, Flavel Sweeten Luther as Professor of Mathematics, Henry Ferguson as Pro­ fessor of History, and John James McCook as Instructor (shortly · Professor) of Modern Languages. Professor ] ohnson had an unusually keen appreciation of literary excellence ; he had the power of imparting his own love of the best to his students, and of inspiring in them his own high enthusiasm. He wrote extremely well, both in prose and verse ; 38 TRINITY COLLEGE he produced sound and graceful literature essays; and he had the patience and the learning to produce authoritative works in the field of literary history. He had the qualities that made him an ideal teacher-keen literary insight, human sympathies, and the gift of style. He had also strongly marked traits that made him an unique personality. So that he is admiringly and gratefully remembered by the generations of Trinity men who came under his instruction and under the spell of his personality from 1883 to his becoming Professor Emeritus in June, 1906. He was a member of the group of literary men and women who gave character and distinction to Hartford life, including Mark Twain, the Rev. Joseph Twitchell, Charles Hopkins Clark, Charles Dudley Warner, and Harriet Beecher Stowe,-he being the last survivor of the group. For a number of years, before and following his retirement, he regularly contributed editorial and other articles to the Hart­ ford newspapers. He always followed current political and literary topics with keen interest. Dr. Johnson was a frequent contributor to Lippincott's, Harper's, Good Company, the North American, the New Eng­ lander, and other periodicals. His first book, Three Americans and Thref! English1nen, wa published in 1886, by Thomas Whittaker, New York. The author's ·considered are: Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Haw­ thorne, Emerson, and Longfellow. The essays are of high quality and are still of value. Beginning with English Words: an Elemen-tary Study of Derivatives, published by Harper Brothers in 1891, Professor Johnson brought out a series of excellent textbooks, some of which even in this age of short-lived books of the kin9, are still in use. In 1898 Harper 'Brothers published his Ele111ents of Literary Criticism, in 1900 the American Book Company brought out an edition of Stopford Brooke's English Literature, with chapters on the Victorian Age by Dr. Johnson; in 1900 the same house bought out his Outline History. of English and American Literature for use in colleges and schools, and in 1904, his Forms of English Poetry. In 1909, after his retirement, the Houghton Mifflin Company published his Shakespeare and His Critics, still the best popular account of Shakespearean criticism. In 1926, he printed a pamphlet entitled Hints on Gravity. In 1897, Thomas Whittaker, of New York, published a book of verse What Can I do for Brady! and other verses. This volume shows Professor Johnson to have a genuine poetic gift. That he OBITUARY RECORD 39 had the gift of inspiring others to poetical composition, the un­ usual amount of unusually good verse appearing during the years of his teaching, in the Tablet1 the student literary monthly, bears witness. Two volumes of poems selected from the verses in the Tablet were issued, the first in 1892, the second in 1895, both under the title Trinity Verse1 Trinity Sketches1 a collection of prose selections from the Tablet1 issued in 1894, may also be men­ tioned as an evidence of Professor Johnson's power of stimulating students to write. Professor Johnson married Elizabeth J. McAlpine of Pitts- , field, Massachusetts, January 4, 1872. She died in 1882, and December 27, 1883, he married Miss Ellen Wadsworth Terry, of Staten Island, New York, who died in 1896. Professor Johnson had two sons, Woolsey McAlpine Johnson, of the class of 1898, and Jarvis McAlpine Johnson, of the class of 1903. In 1885, Professor Johnson received the honorary Master of Arts (M. A.) from Yale University, and in 1898, the degree of Doctor of Letters (Litt. D.). In 1909, Trinity College honored herself in honoring her distinguished Professor of English Litera­ ture by conferring on him her highest degree, Doctor of Laws (LL. D.).
