PREFATORY NOTE.

This Obituary Record is the third issued, the plan of devot­ ing the July issue of the Bulletin to this use having been adopted in 1918. T.he data here presented has been collected through the persistent efforts of th.e Treasurer of the College, who makes it his concern to secure and preserve as full a record as posssible 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 Treasurer, Edgar F. Wate~­ man, Esquire. Material corrections and additions will be in­ corporated 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 rela­ ti\·es and friends may be able to supply additional information, so that an adequate record may be preserved. ARTHUR ADAMS. OBITUARY RECORD.
