This Obituary Record is the fifteenth 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 in~orporated 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 Il)ay be preserved. ARTHUR ADAMS.
