Harry vVoodford Hayward was born 111 Portage Lake, Maine, eptember 17, 1875. He was a son of Jarvis Hayward, a lumberman of Portage Lake and Presque Isle, Maine, and Eunice Brown his wife. Mr. Hayward wa prepared for college at St. John's Mili­ tary School, Presque I le, Maine, and entered Trinity in Sep­ tember, 1893, with the Cia s of 1897.

From 1901 to 1913, he wa with the law firm of Cleveland and Cleveland, becoming member of the firm in 1909. May I, 19r3, he formed a part nership with Mr. Marshall McLean under the name of McLea OBITUARY RECORD. 27 and Hayward. This relationship terminated only with his death. His interest in military affairs goes back to his school days at t. John's in Presque Isle, but his active military service may be dated from May 30, 1903, when he became a member of Company "K", 7th Regiment, National Guard of New York. He served from June to November, 1916, as Sergeant of his Company on the Mexican border, and was promoted to be Second Lieutenant on November 19, 1916. The winter of 1916 he spent in France, believing that the l.Jnited States would be drawn into the War, and wishing to have first-hand knowledge of conditions and methods of war­ fare there. May II, 1917, he was promoted to the First Lieu­ tenancy of his Company, and sent as an Instructor to the Officers' Training School at Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, South Carolina. April 28, 1918, he received his commission as Captain, and in May sailed for France, his Regiment being a part of the now famous 27th Division. Of his service be­ tween the time of his arrival in France and the last battle, we know little. The 27th Division was under General Rawlinson of the British Army, and constantly on the battle line after Septem­ ber twentieth. On the morning of September twenty-ninth, they went into action at dawn as shock troops to break the way for the Australians at St. Quentin, and it was probably about eight o'clock that Captain Hayward received his death wound. Accounts differ as to the exact circumstances of his being wounded; some say that he fell trying to save his wounded Lieutenant, others while leading his men. Perhaps both are true. He was not killed instantly, but after receiving his wound, was moved to a shell hole and died there beside another of his brave lieutenants and a rescuer. It is said that his Regiment suffered casualties of fifty per cent. in this en­ gagement. Captain Hayward's grave is between Duncan Post and Guillamant Farm, on the road between Ronssog and Bony, Plot A, Row I, No. I, "still at the head of his command" writes Dr. Gray a Lieutenant in the 107th and a kinsman.

He met a soldier's death, and will always have the honor due to the good soldier who gives his all for his Country.

Theodore Roosevelt Class of 1918 (honorary). Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth President of the United States, died January 6, rgr8. His relations with Trinity Col­ lege came about through his friendship with President Luther, and he received from the College on Commencement Day, June 17, 1918, the degree of Doctor of Science, having delivered on the preceding day at the open-air service a notable address. It i worthy of note, that although Mr. Roosevelt had received honorary degrees without number from the universities of America and Europe, the degree from Trinity is the only one in Science he ever received. This is particularly noteworthy because of his great contributions to scientific knowledge. Only the outstanding facts in the life of Theodore Roose­ velt need be mentioned here. He was born in New York City, October 27, r8s8, a son of Theodore and Martha (Bul­ loch) Roosevelt. The Roosevelt family has been prominent in New York ever since the days of the Dutch founding of the City, and the Bulloch family has been equally eminent in the history of the State of Georgia. Theodore Roosevelt wa prepared for college chiefly under private tutors. He was graduated B.A. from Harvard Uni­ Yer ity in r88o, ranking high in his class, and receiving elec­ tion to Phi Beta Kappa. After a year of travel in Germany he entered politics, being elected to the Assembly from the Twenty-First Dis­ trict of New York City on a platform declaring for clean politics and clean streets. He served creditably for three term , and wa made Chairman of the New York delegation to the Republican Convention that nominated James G. Blaine for the Presidency. After the campaign, he retired to his cattle ranch in the Bad Lands of North Dakota. In r886 he was nominated for Mayor of New York, but was defeated. Mr. Roosevelt's career in national politics began when President Harrison appointed him a member of the United -tates Civil Service Commi sion. In this office he accom­ plished much for the reformation of the civil service and for its removal from political influence. In r8gs he was appointed 50 TRINITY COLLEGE.

President of the Board of Police Commissioners of New York City, and through the reforms he carried out, won a national reputation for courage and decenGy in politics. In 1897 he was appointed by President McKinley Assis­ tant Secretary of the Navy, and did much toward preparation for a war with Spain that be believed to be inevitable. vVhen the War came, he resigned and organized the First Regiment of Volunteer Cavalry, famous now as "Roosevelt's Rough­ Riders"; of which Leonard Wood was at first Colonel and he Lieutenant Colonel. But soon Wood was made a Brigadier General, and Roosevelt became Colonel. The record of this organization is too well known to need repetition here. In 1898 he was elected Governor of New York. In 1900 he was nominated for the Vice-Presidency against his own inclination, he preferring another term as Governor of New York. President McKinley was assassinated on September 6, 1901, and died Septeml?er 14, 1901. Perhaps the most not­ able event of the first administration was the beginning of work on the Panama Canal. In 1905, Mr. Roosevelt was elected President by the largest popular majority that had ever been given a candidate for the Presidency. Among the notable events of the second term were the making of peace between Russia and Japan; the settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute; successful prosecution under the Sherman anti-trust laws; and the initiation of the policy of Conservation. In 1912 he was the candidate of the Progressive Party for the Presidency, but was defeated. In 1914 he went to Brazil, and at the head of an exploring party discovered and explored for 6oo miles a tributary of the Madeira River, sub­ sequently named by the Brazilian Government in his honor "Reo Theodora." His last great public service, perhaps, was his effort to arouse the American people to the issues involved in the Great European War, and to induce them to prepare for what he saw must be their part in it. After the United States en­ tered the War, he threw his whole influence to the support of the Government, and to the support of every effort to win the war. Happily he lived long enough to see the triumph of the Allied cause. Mr. Roosevelt was twice married: first to Alice Hathaway, daughter of George Cabot Lee, October 27, 1880; second to Edith Kermit, daughter of Charles Carow of New York, De­ cember 2, 1886. Mr. Roosevelt was a voluminous author on a great variety of topics, and a complete enumeration of even his books is OBITUARY RECORD. 51 impossible here. But among the more important may be mentioned his "Winning of the \Vest," his "History of the Iaval War of 1812," "American Ideals and Other Essays," "The Rough Riders," "Life of Oliver Cromwell," "The New rationalism," and "Through the Brazilian Wilderness." Though he wrote rapidly, these works are of sterling merit and great worth, the result of hard and original study and. investigation. Altogether Mr. Roosevelt's life is one of the most remarkable in American history, and no one will question his right to rank as the most distinguished of the honorary graduates of the College.

Vincenzo Solimene Class of 1918. Vincenzo Solimene was born in Italy, January 29, 1886. He came to America in boyhood, and at an early age went to work in a factory.

Sherrod Soule, the Superintendent of the Society. On his application for admission to the Hartford Theolo­ gical Seminary, he was advised ~rst to secure some training at Trinity College, and at the suggestion of the Seminary authori­ ties, was admitted as a non-matriculated student in September, 1913. Mr. Solimene was not brilliant and his early education was very defective, but he had set before him a high purpose and he had courage and determination. He was graduated with the degree of B.A. in 1918, and at once planned to take the full course in the Hartford Theological Seminary. But within a few weeks of beginning his work there, he contracted influenza and died at the Hartford Hospital, October 19, 1918. He is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery, Hartford. During all the period of. his college study, he had carried on work among the Italians at \i\T arburton Chapel in Hartford, receiving the highest commendation of his superiors and co­ workers. 52 TRINITY COLLEGE.
