NECROLOGY TRINITY MEN Whose Deaths were Reported During the Year 1919-1920 Hartford, Connecticut July, 1920 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.

I am now nearly seventy-five years of age, and still actively engaged 8 TRINITY COLLEGE. in professional duties. I hope to live long enough to visit Hart­ ford again."

KEITH, Litt.D., Vice-President of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania and President of The Church Historical Society In Colonial times, the Bishop of London was deemed to have the particular care of the American congrega- tions adhering to the doctrine and worship of the Church of England. Among the tablets in our chancel, erected some years ago by the Colonial Dames of Amer- ica, Chapter II., is one to Henry Compton, Bishop of London from 1675 until his death in 1713; a character who will strike some people's fancy for having, in half military costume, led a troop of horse to defend the Princess Anne, afterwards Queen, from her father, King James II., but, who on the other hand, deserves more honor for having advised William Penn to buy the Indians' land instead of grabbing it. We are con- cerned this afternoon with Compton's care of the church in Pennsylvania, causing his name to head the tablet which has just been unveiled commemorating our Clergy. At the consideration of Penn's Charter by the Lords for Trade, Compton tried unsuccessfully to se- cure some perquisites for the support of clergymen, and he succeeded in obtaining toleration for the un- popular religion, and the right for himself and his successors to appoint the ministers thereof. The Charter contains the clause:

We have reached the point in the Proceedings of the Grand Lodge when, on account of there being a, larger number of Lodges, more business was transacted, and more space required to record the proceedings. They lose nothing of their interest, however, by being recorded more fuUy, but, on the other hand, it makes the work all the more interesting as a historical work, both as regards the Grand Lodge and the Subordinate Lodges in Pennsylvania.

ABOUT fourteen years have elapsed since Julius Pratt, Esq., of Meriden, Conn., employed the compiler of this work to pre­ pare a History and Genealogy of Lieut. William Pratt, and his descendants. The late Col. George W. Pratt, of Prattsville,. New York, hearing of the enterprise, offered to associate him­ self with the projector of the work, in furnishing the requisite funds, and in gathering the materials. Rev. Orson Pratt, also, of Utah Territory, with a commendable liberality, came for­ ward and rendered efficient pecuniary aid, and furnished the records of the various families connected with him in the same line of descent. Circulars were addressed and letters written to not less than fifteen hundred persons bearing the name of Pratt, and others connected with the various branches by mar­ riage, requesting them to forward their family records, and whatever memorials they had in their possession of such of the descendants as had distinguished themselves in the learned professions, or otherwise entitled themselves to honorable no­ tice as public benefactors.
