 EDITORIAL 
 
 This issue of the Bulletin is emphatically a war number. The material 
 
 at hand concerning alumni in military service has accumulated to such an 
 
 extent that, in its unquestionable claim to priority, it has compelled the 
 
 omission of much other matter that properly has sought a place. Among 
 
 this is further historical matter on the school; the first of a series of sketches 
 
 on former teachers; letters from boys overseas; alumni notes, not military; 
 
 and facts in the current life of the school. These must be relegated to the 
 
 next issue, which will follow close on the heels of this, by the end of April 
 
 at the latest.

 Since the last issue of the Bulletin was sent out in September the 
 apparent end of the war has come, and the Worcester Academy world, 
 in common with everything about it, is beginning to readjust itself to the 
 new conditions. We have felt, and felt keenly, the effects of the giant 
 struggle, and yet we, like our sister academies, have been less perturbed 
 than colleges and many other institutions. As the large majority of our 
 pupils, actual and prospective, were below the age accepted for military 
 service, and as the sending of boys to private schools was favored by gen- 
 eral financial prosperity, our registration has been but moderately affected. 
 While great losses and serious inconveniences have been suffered by the 
 withdrawal of teachers to enter service, yet on the whole we have fared 
 better in this respect than many similar schools. Our schedules of 
 study have gone on about the same, certain changes in view the early 
 part of the present fall to meet the needs of older boys preparing for mid- 
 year entrance to S. A. T. C. and for speciahzed forms of service having 
 been forestalled by the armistice before they were really formulated. 
 Military drill has shared with regular physical work the time and energy 
 of the school body. Interschool athletic schedules have indeed been 
 thrown into confusion, particularly in track, where most of the great 
 meets in which we have long been associated prominently have been 
 temporarily discontinued. But the bursting energies of schoolboy life 
 have found abundant opportunity for outlet; the days on the campus 
 have teemed with activities. More than all, a deeper sense of the real 
 
4 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 meanings of life and oC personal and civic responsibility has been engendered 
 by the stirring events that have crowded upon each other, driven home 
 by earnest and well-measured words of interpretation and comment 
 from chapel desk and teachers' chair. And now, with hardly a moment in 
 which to scan the disturbed horizons, the school, with satisfaction in its 
 l^ast, with determination for the present, and with faith in the future, 
 seeks to enlist itself in the ranks of the battalions that are to save the 
 country to the cherished ideals of its founders. 
 
 Few features of the fall have touched the hearts of the boys more closely 
 than the casual visits of old fellows fresh from service, bringing their 
 personal word of experience, and showing that the stars on the service 
 flags floating in The Megaron stand each for a W. A. boy. Perhaps sur- 
 passing these in dramatic appeal has been the standing at attention in 
 chapel as a silent tribute to the memory of an old boy of the school whose 
 death in service has just been announced. Happily these occasions are 
 becoming less frequent, but, counting from the very beginning of the 
 war, the number has increased to twenty-seven. This is out of a total in 
 service of some 700, a very large percentage of fatalities it seems. Very 
 likely the proportion would be decreased if full data at hand allowed the 
 inclusion of every name that belongs in the grand total of those in service. 
 Figures are not available from which to compute the proportion of the 
 alumni who have taken part in the war, but it is probable that nearly 
 one-half of all former students for the past twenty years, whether married 
 or single, whether their stay at the school was short or long, have been 
 enrolled; certainly more than one-third. This is a good record. It is 
 a record, especially when we consider the large number who have proved 
 themselves competent to lead, that justifies the existence of the private 
 school of America. It is a record that will long adorn the history of 
 Worcester Academy. 
 
 The Koll of Honor, on j^age 20, enshrines the twenty-seven whose fate 
 it has been to make the supreme sacrifice. The list runs from Michelson 
 of '97, leaving his consulate to become the first victim while inspecting 
 the England prison cam]:)s in Germany, to Vincent Marshall, carrying to 
 his western home his diploma last June, and to young Clifford Park, 
 leaving his class to play a man's part. In it the graduate and non-grad- 
 uate stand in equal honor. They who won laurels in scholarship and 
 they who gained recognition in athletics devoted alike their talents. 
 The school leaders, the monitors, appear in Carl Dudley and Elston Day.

 Dexter Hall and the Dormer floor are both there. Charlie Bull and 
 Clifford Stevens were ours for the full four years. There are the com- 
 missioned officer and the private; those who were stricken by disease amid 
 the drudgery of the training camp, and those who received the stamp of 
 glory on the front line and in No Man's Land; those who rest in the fami- 
 liar and peaceful cemetery at home, and those who lie beneath the crosses 
 of Flanders and Champagne. Most belonged still to the home circle of 
 their parents; but some leave in loneliness the young wife and the bride, 
 and the children who can hardly carry on in their memories the father 
 who has gone. All belong to their country; all belong to a world made 
 better by their work; and all belong to us. Their courage and their sac- 
 rifice will never be forgotten. It remains however for the school and 
 their fellows to provide some proper and enduring memorial that the 
 individual names of this Roll may forever be held in honor and in hal- 
 lowed memory among us. 
 
 * * * 
 
 It seems invidious to select for special mention any from the long 
 list of those who return. There are those among them who, like Luke 
 Doyle, '06, and Walter Wheeler, '14, have won the coveted distinction 
 of the Croix de Guerre. There are others who have been cited for dis- 
 tinguished bravery, either individually or with their unit. Others will be 
 envied in that Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, and the Argonne, names 
 that have become common in the correspondence of the Bulletin, will 
 be to them familiar places. But all, whether they found their place in 
 field, in camp, or in laboratory, whether they labored by land, by sea, or 
 in air, gave all that they had, and nothing more can be asked. 
 
 Still there are a few from the earlier classes, men for the most part 
 outside the pale of required service, who were peculiarly fitted for certain 
 lines of work, and whom fortunately the emergency found. The class of 
 '87, famous already in many ways, gave Dr. Edwin G. Dexter, a leader 
 in Red Cross work in France, and now in charge of the Society's expedi- 
 tion to Montenegro. Pres. John Hope, '90, supervisor in Y. M. C. A. 
 work among the colored troops in France, and referee in many complicated 
 problems that concern the negroes; Hubert M. Sedgwick, '90, a Secretary 
 of the Athletic Division of the Navy Training Camp Commission; Dr. 
 Joseph E. Raycroft, of the Princeton College Gymnasium, who has served 
 on the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities; Edwin 
 P. Grosvenor, '93, leaving a large law practice in New York City to join 
 the Intelligence Division in Washington; Pres. Ernest M. Hopkins of 
 Dartmouth, serving as special Assistant Secretary of War, and there 
 handling most important and difficult work in such a way as to be 
 
6 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 characterized by Sec. Baker as "qualified almost without equal;" these 
 
 and scores of others constitute a body of men of which any school may 
 
 well feel proud.

 On its side what has the school done for its sons in service? How did 
 it show them that it was behind them with all its mind and strength; 
 that it did not forget them? The reply that can be made seems regretfully 
 unsatisfactory; the items below almost too meager and inadequate to 
 enumerate. 
 
 It has been a pleasure to forward the honorable records made here by 
 candidates for training camps and preferred lines of service. We suspect 
 a considerable total of cheery letters have been sent out by Dr. Aber- 
 crombie, Mr. Holmes, and others of the faculty. May we say here that 
 the Bulletin on its part regrets that it has been an impossibility to send 
 a reply to many a word of greeting or of information that should have 
 received one. The thought and effort of the Thimble Club, made up of the 
 ladies of the Faculty, to send a box last spring to all W. A. boys in France, 
 was thwarted by the prohibition of the postal authorities just as the 
 things were being packed, to the great chagrin of the club. The Bui-letin 
 has spent much effort in collecting and publishing war news, and we have 
 reason to feel that these have been of considerable interest, as numerous 
 words of appreciation have come to us, many from overseas. The school 
 has daily spoken the message the soldier would send to his younger 
 brothers in school by the great service flag on the campus, by the class 
 banners of red and gold in The Megaron, and by the prevailing topics 
 of conversation. Yet all these count but little. Still they are the bits 
 that opportunity placed before us, leaving us compelled to find solace in 
 the hope that the lessons taught in past years to the old boys have been 
 real factors in equipping them for the great task they have just accom- 
 plished so splendidly. Perhaps the near future will find place for a 
 memorial service, for a great reunion of Academy men who have been 
 in the war, and for a special war service number of the Bulletin, as 
 well as provide some enduring memorial as suggested above. Any sug- 
 gestions as to the financing of this memorial number, which should be 
 worthy and complete, will be gratefully received by the Bulletin. 
 
 This issue of the Bulletin properly l^egins with the photograph of Mr. 
 Holmes on the frontispiece. Mr. Holmes' connection with the school 
 begins in a most interesting way even before he came to the Academy as an 
 instructor. In the davs when the school was located at Lincoln 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 7 
 
 Square, during the principalship of Dr. W. C. Poland, the parents of Mr. 
 Hohnes' mother, Mr. and Mrs. Howe of Worcester, rented from Doctor 
 Poland a portion of the Academy building that was not then needed by 
 the school, and used it as their residence. Mr. Holmes' mother herself, 
 who had previously attended the Oread Institute, became a pupil at the 
 Academy, and also had charge of some of the younger pupils. Doctor 
 Poland moreover boarded for a time with Mr. Howe. 
 
 Mrs. Holmes, too, has a sort of indirect connection with the earlier 
 school, in that Judge John D. Smith, the fifteenth principal of the Academy, 
 had Mrs. Holmes' father, Enoch C. Adams, as his pupil in Litchfield, Me. 
 
 There has been no disturbing jolt in passing from the old year to the new, 
 from the former administration to the present. Any such questionable 
 move was not to be expected when it was remembered that the principal's 
 chair was to be filled by one who had acquired his experience as a teacher 
 mainly under Doctor Abercrombie, and who had felt the strength of the 
 principles under the working of which the school had attained vitality and 
 power. But Mr. Holmes had also caught his predecessor's zeal for advance 
 and of course the fall was bound to show some evidences of this. And so, 
 whatever greater modifications of school policy the trustees and the admin- 
 istration may jointly have in contemplation, they await the ripeness of 
 time, and the transition is being made easily and smoothly. 
 
 Several little changes that the familiar eye would note are mentioned in 
 Topics of the Term. Were anything to be singled out for special mention 
 here, it perhaps might be the reorganization of the executive work. The 
 duties that fell to Mr. Towle have been redistributed. Matters of permis- 
 sions and business details are performed by Mr. Dodd, who has given up 
 his teaching, and who is called Executive Officer. The discipline the 
 principal shares with Mr. Beazley. Mr. George D. Church returns to the 
 Academy from his Abbott School to take charge of the enrollment of new 
 pupils, having the title of Registrar. The headship of the Dining Room is 
 shared by two or three men in alternation. To accomodate these officers, 
 and to afford better facilities for the faculty, the recitation room to the 
 right of the south entrance of Walker Hall has been utilized, and the old 
 offices have been further subdivided. In a way these offices, with their 
 neat signs directing boys and strangers, are concrete indications of a pur- 
 pose to make the school more efficient in doing its work, and so may fairly 
 be considered emblematic of the purpose and hope of the school. In this 
 purpose are co-operating trustees, faculty, and boys, and we dare say, the 
 alumni body also, and so all may share alike in the bright promise of the 
 future. 
 
8 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 On September 18 the eighty-fifth year of the Academy opened. In 
 June the trustees had announced a necessary increase in rate. The 
 summer months had been days of anxiety and uncertainty for the nation, 
 for the home, and for the school. And yet opening day found every room 
 in Dexter and Davis occupied. This was true, even though a large group 
 of boys of eighteen and nineteen had been called to service. This condition 
 was indeed rewarding to Mr. Holmes, as he looked forward to his first year 
 of administration. 
 
 Early in the fall term a census of the school was taken at the request of 
 the registrar. Our readers, the majority of whom are old boys of the 
 Academy, will be gratified to know a fact that this showed. Forty-five of 
 the pupils acknowledged that their decision to attend Worcester was the 
 result of a conversation by them or by their parents with some old Academy 
 boy. The names of these former students who have so effectively served 
 their school will be printed in the alumni cohmrns. 
 
 Another noteworthy fact is that the registration for the winter term 
 this year equals if not exceeds that of the fall term, over twenty new 
 pupils having been enrolled to take the place of those removed. A few of 
 these were returning students who had withdrawn in September to enter in 
 S. A. T. C. Among the new entries are several due to the eflScient and 
 aggressive efforts of the new registrar, IVIr. Church. 
 
 The new term has of course brought its peculiar problems and anxieties. 
 It had been impossible to fill an important vacancy in the faculty, caused 
 by the operation of the draft, when school opened, and not until the term 
 was well under way was a competent man secured. The epidemic of in- 
 fluenza began its inroads in September, and invaded the ranks of the pupils 
 and faculty alike. Rigorous measures were at once adopted, but at one 
 time between tliirty and forty boys were ill with the disease or showed 
 suspicious symptoms. The accomodations of the Infirmary were supple- 
 mented by the upper floor of Walker Hall, no longer used as a dormitory, 
 extra nurses were secured, and a moderate quarantine enforced. This 
 vigorous treatment soon brought the epidemic under control, and only one 
 death resulted, that of Frank C. Hanson, of Hartford, Conn., a member of 
 the second-year class. It was inevitable that the regular work of the school 
 should be retarded by this sickness. The good sense of the student body in 
 preserving its poise and coolness was a helpful factor in the situation. The 
 athletic activities of the fall were greatly hampered during the epidemic, 
 but they resumed later a semblance of their normal character.

 The question as to the provision which the school should make for mili- 
 tary drill became an issue during the correspondence with parents in the 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 9 
 
 summer. It was impossible to learn just what the Government wanted. 
 At one time it seemed that it might be the policy to organize companies of 
 the S. A. T. C. in preparatory schools as well as in colleges, and the Acad- 
 emy held itself in readiness to do its part. All was in doubt when the term 
 opened. Accordingly the scheme that had been in force during the spring 
 term was followed in the main. The boys were given three hours of train- 
 ing each week under the direction of Major Warren of Worcester, and all 
 were required to provide themselves a uniform. As the term advanced it 
 became evident that branches of the S. A. T. C. would not be organized in 
 secondary schools, but the War Department's attitude was favorable to 
 the establishment of junior branches of the R. 0. T. C. An inspector 
 visited as, and we understand that he carried away favorable impressions 
 of our adaptedness for this work. We decided finally, however, not to 
 apply at present to be designated as the location of such a group. 
 
 In regard to the general problem it is felt that military training and reg- 
 ular routines of study do not go well side by side. The testimony of 
 educational institutions the past fall has been practically unanimous to this 
 effect. The position of the Academy then is one of waiting. The number 
 of hours per week devoted to drill has been reduced to two, thus taking the 
 place of only a part of the regular physical work. If the Government sees 
 fit to ask secondary schools to co-operate with it in providing military 
 training, the school stands ready to do so. If it does not make such a re- 
 quest, the school will be very content to continue its former system of 
 
 physical work. 
 
 * * * 
 
 One feature of the work in seeking information concerning Academy 
 boys in service has been getting in touch again with many old pupils 
 from whom we had not heard in many years. Some weeks ago a num- 
 ber of letters were sent out to boys belonging to classes from about 1905 on 
 who had not been on our alumni files, the only address available in many 
 cases being the home address at the time of their attendance. Nearly two 
 hundred responses to these letters have come, nearly all of them disclosing 
 an additional Academy man in service. It is with satisfaction that the 
 Bulletin introduces these names once more to the Academy circles, and 
 trusts that the acquaintanceship will prove lasting. The work of locating 
 the old pupils is to be prosecuted vigorously this year, in the expectation 
 of preparing a card catalogue of all former pupils which shall be reason- 
 ably complete. 
 
 * * * 
 
 The series of articles by Dr. Ward on the principals of the Academy 
 having been completed, it now seems most appropriate to turn to the 
 
10 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 former members of the faculty who have been prominent in the hfe of the 
 school. Accordingly we begin such a series of sketches in the next number 
 with that of Mr. Shepardson, whose stay at the school from 1883 to 1896 
 covered a very important period in the development of the school, and 
 whose character and attainment endeared him so greatly to the thirteen 
 generations of boys who were under him. This sketch will be followed in 
 successive issues by those of other old teachers, taking first naturally those 
 of longest service in the school. We feel sure that our readers will be 
 happy to meet in this way their old instructors and friends.

 Several years ago it was the fortunate privilege of the Bulletin to 
 print an article interpretative of Japanese thought from the pen of Rev. 
 Frank A. Lombard, '92, whose career in educational work in Japan has been 
 so notable. Not only as Dean of the Doshisha College, an institution 
 under American auspices at Kyoto, has he done much to make the Japanese 
 youth acquainted with American ideas, but his service there was so con- 
 spicuous that he has for some time been called also by the Japanese author- 
 ities themselves to a professorship in English Literature in the Imperial 
 University. He is now spending a Sabbatical year at home, and has had 
 the kindness to prepare for us an article on "Japan and the World War." 
 It is a word from a man who thoroughly understands the Japanese point 
 
 of view. 
 
 * * * 
 
 The Bulletin is happy to bring to its readers the desk calendar to be 
 found inserted in this issue, which is furnished us by the school registrar, 
 Mr. George D. Church. The "considerations" it contains are worthy of 
 thought and of being passed along. Incidently it may be proper to express 
 here the happiness brought by the many letters that have come to the school 
 in pleasant acknowledgement of the greeting sent out at New Year's. 
 
 A Word from Mr. Holmes 
 
 "I found Rome a city of brick, I left it a city of marble." So spake 
 Caesar Augustus, contemplating his labors. Over this hill-top where sits 
 our school city thirty-six years have passed while the thought and toil and 
 prayer of a great builder have wrought incessantly to people the school 
 republic with the "breed of noble bloods" and to lift above it that clear, 
 shining standard of honorable achievement which is the Worcester ideal. 
 Turning from his long day's task to rest from his labors. Doctor Aber- 
 crombie can say in words sanctified by his accomphshments : "I was a 
 builder; after me come others." 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 11 
 
 What is the call to us, the other builders, who take up his task and step 
 with unaccustomed feet to the places of decision? First of all to keep for- 
 ever clear in our vision the great watchword of the school, "Achieve the 
 honorable. " Not alone by the unwearying patience with which we sound 
 those words in boyish ears, as the school upon the hill moves from day to 
 day along its course, but also l3y the tribute with which we salute that 
 greater company, the sons of the school outside, who, wherever men under- 
 take great tasks, have become and are daily becoming the honorable 
 achievers of their generation, must we cherish and exalt our glorious motto. 
 It is for the Alumni standing shoulders together to present to a world 
 searching for leadership the sight of men upright in private life, generous 
 in public service, stalwart against the false philosophies that assault our 
 institutions, broadminded and hopeful in the face of social and economic 
 problems that multiply like the Hydra's heads. Let us have it said of 
 Worcester men that there is a something, a sensitiveness to the call of duty, 
 a rallying to good causes in distress, a refusal to honor aught but the honor- 
 able, an energy of righteousness that cheers the defenders of ordered civil- 
 ization and dismays the legions of anarchy, a something born of the spirit, 
 so bright, so unquenchable, so infectious that it characterizes us and our 
 school and enlists men to labor by our side. 
 
 And then what of the school? What shall Worcester men do for her? 
 Has she any needs? Do the passing years leave her unchanged? Not so. 
 Needs she has in plenty : physical needs, enlargements and repairs, but most 
 insistent of all a great spiritual need, which can be satisfied only with 
 spiritual offerings. She needs the constant loyalty and the interest of all 
 her sons. She needs this tribute of gratitude from Alumni bestowed by 
 word, by letter, by visit, upon those who sit in her halls to teach and chrect; 
 she needs it manifested in the activity of old boys who shall direct an ever 
 lengthening column of the best youth in America to her gates. Her con- 
 tinuing cry is for boys, boys, boys, the promising boys, the ambitious boys, 
 the fine-spirited boys, the best boys of the land, a vast company of young 
 manhood marching to her shrine, not to be sacrificed, but to be ennobled 
 and enriched and sent out to the world to honor the old school and to bless 
 mankind. 
 
 Let us all, then, reaching forth into a future enlarged by vision and faith 
 established securely by loyal response to Worcester's call, make these words 
 our own : — 
 
 "Still onward and upward pursue thy fair march, 
 
 Like an army with banners unfurled. 
 
 While God bends above thee his covenant arch 
 
 And before thee lies waiting the world. "

 JAPAN AND THE WORLD WAR 
 
 The Pacific Ocean is sure to become increasinp;ly important in the history 
 of the world; and it is necessary that we of the United States should come 
 to understand more perfectly our neighbors in the Orient. In particular 
 it is now necessary that we understand Japan's relation to the world war 
 and her present attitude. 
 
 Among the various forms of Prussian propaganda in the United States 
 and throughout the world none has been more insidious than that which 
 cast suspicion upon Japan and filled our minds with doubt concerning 
 her friendshi]:) and the part she was likely to play in any movement of the 
 nations. This propaganda, taking advantage of certain well-known 
 facts, and safely presuming upon our ignorance of vital elements in Japa- 
 nese character, created such a feeling against Japan that Germany was 
 confident of a clash upon the Pacific which would ultimately play 
 into her hands and give her supremacy over the United States. 
 
 The world stage was set with a care that took account of everything 
 except the spiritual elements of human nature; and Germany began 
 the war. 
 
 Japan entered the war out of respect for a piece of paper: her treaty 
 alliance with Great Britain. She had not the slightest personal cause 
 for hostility. Germany at first regarded her attitude as merely formal, 
 the result of compelling circumstances. She expected to find in Japan 
 a friend, or at least one who, acting in accord with Prussian principles, 
 could not be loyal in her alliance with Great Britain. In this, Germany 
 believed her own propaganda. 
 
 Japan admired Germany and the German people, their eflficiency and 
 Kultur; Prussian influence was strong in the Japanese army and in all 
 the many spheres of activity controlled by her men of university training; 
 her government was largely bureaucratic; and her ambition for territorial 
 expansion apparently natural. These were the facts upon which Germany 
 based her propaganda and her faith. It was to be expected that Japan 
 would find some way in which to break from her alliance and grasp the 
 opportunity for her own advancement in the Pacific. This Germany 
 expected; and even to us, unconsciously under the influence of her pro- 
 paganda, Japan in democratic alliance appeared strangely incongruous, 
 so that we hardly believed the sincerity of her position or had faith in her 
 future loyalty. 
 
 Little by little the extent of German intrigue in arousing bad blood 
 became apparent : and the crude suspicions vanished, leaving only a vague, 
 questioning doubt which still lingers among us: an insidious danger to 
 the very cause of international brotherhood for which we stand. 
 
 This lingering doubt is dispelled by any consideration of Japan which 
 gives due importance to her sense of honor, her sagacity in political leader- 
 ship, her growing democracy, and the spirit of devotion among her people, 
 regardless of rank. In so brief an article it is obviously impossible to 
 go into details; but it may safely be said that Japan has fully established 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 13 
 
 her loyalty to the cause of the Allies in the present war, and fully satisfied 
 our government of the honorable nature of her international dealings. 
 This leaves us to consider the position in which Japan finds herself to-day, 
 caught in the folds of an accellerated evolution. 
 
 The world war soon developed into a struggle between conflicting 
 ideas and ideals. The return of peace, with victory for the allied armies, 
 marks a great advance toward the firm establishment of those ideas 
 and ideals which make for human brotherhood and the development of 
 spiritual manhood ; Init the end is not yet. The struggle must go on. The 
 ultimate victory can be obtained only progressively; not, we may reason- 
 ably hope, through further strife and bloodshed, but through the no 
 less strenuous and severe endeavor of social evolution. Within the last 
 five years a world lias been born anew; the next twenty-five years, the years 
 of its youth and adolescence, are sure to be filled with rapid changes. Many 
 things which we shall regret are sure to occur; many mistakes are sure 
 to be made; but of the character of the development no man can doubt. 
 
 Our eyes are upon Europe, and we watch with eager gaze the rapid, 
 turbulent changes that make for democratization there; but the results 
 of the war in Europe will be found insignificant in comparison with its 
 results in Asia. The outcome of this struggle changes by two thousand 
 years the course of Oriental evolution. A victory of brute force, of irre- 
 sponsible self-will, would have compelled us of the United States to adopt 
 a policy of self-defense deadening to our higher spiritual aspirations and 
 our noblest national instinct. Much more would it of necessity have 
 turned the development of the New Orient into channels of selfish ma- 
 terialism, and have put back by centuries the growth of its higher life. 
 But Germany has been conquered. The ideals for which she stood have 
 been found wanting; and the pathway of evolution now lies open for 
 spiritual factors. The meek shall inherit the earth. 
 
 The subjects of evolutionary change, however, are often unconscious 
 of that change, sometimes opposed to it; and Japan is largely uncon- 
 scious of the great movement of which she has become a part. Her 
 leaders, her scholars and her statesmen, are not unconscious. They are 
 keenly awake to the present trend and aware of the inevitable outcome. 
 Some heartily rejoice; others bitterly grieve; but none will for a moment 
 seek to impede the movement whereby Japan keeps an honored place 
 among the onward-marching nations of the world. The power to foresee 
 the inevitable and the tact to retain the initiative in entering upon the 
 inevitable are characteristics of Japanese statesmen. Thus a popular 
 movement in Japan, after reaching a certain point, is sure to become a 
 movement under the leadership of those in government authority, and to 
 result in an evolutionary advance rather than a revolutionary overthrow. 
 This fact, taken together with the fact that self-abnegation for the good 
 of the country as a whole is the highest duty binding upon all Japanese 
 alike, makes it certain that whether gladly or not the leaders of Japan 
 will conduct their nation in harmony with the inevitable trend of modern 
 evolution. 
 
 Nor is this democratization opposed to the instinct of the Japanese 
 people. They are in many ways exceedingly democratic; and true democ- 
 racy is not limited to any specific form of government. In the early 
 
 1/ 
 
14 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 years of Japan's modern life, she was an ardent admirer of the United 
 States. During the years in which she found herself compelled to strug- 
 gle for national standing, she became impressed with our apparent ma- 
 terialism and was led to question the sincerity of some of our more ideal 
 utterances, especially in view of the fact that we persisted in an invidious 
 racial discrimination in the laws governing the admission of foreigners 
 to our shores. Economic pressure forced Japan to place great emphasis 
 upon things material and to worship efficiency, though by nature she was 
 idealistic and a worshipper of the heroic. 
 
 The last two years have brought to Japan a new revelation of the 
 United States, even as they have brought such a revelation to ourselves. 
 She is rapidly regaining her old faith in us as a people of just purpose 
 and of spiritual ideals, among whom there is something more powerful 
 than the almighty dollar. She is ciuick to estimate values, and she is 
 learning the power of the spiritual, even in the modern world where 
 selfish materialism had seemed to reign. Her future relations with the 
 United States depend largely upon us. It is ours to be her trusting, 
 trusted friend, co-operating in her hard task of the spiritual democrati- 
 zation of the Orient.

 CLIFTON A. TOWLE, 1903=1918 
 
 Mr. Towle resigned his position on the Academy faculty late in Septem- 
 ber to accept a call to the Reclamation Service of the U. S. Sanitary 
 Corps. The position involved rank as First Lieutenant, but before all 
 the details incident to the formal granting of the commission were com- 
 pleted, the armistice was signed. He continued the same line of 
 work, however, as a civilian official, being appointed at once in the civil 
 service a Curative Workshop Instructor of the Medical Department at 
 Large of the Army, and stationed at the Walter Reed Hospital at Wash- 
 ington, D. C. At the first this work was combined with that of selecting 
 men to engage in the mental and vocational training of wounded soldiers. 
 
 In regard to his Washington work he writes: "I am helping with the 
 administrative end and the office work of our Division of Physical Recon- 
 struction at the hospital. I am interviewing convalescent soldiers who 
 enroll with us or who are sent l^y the surgeons, and assigning courses, etc. 
 I get a chance to hear many an interesting tale, and to give many words 
 of cheer. All are men who have lost an arm, leg, or worse. Some crippled 
 for life, many down-hearted. A chance certainly for good works. " 
 
 After several weeks in Washington he was transferred to \'. S. Hospital 
 No. 10 at Parker Hill, Boston, for similar service. His address is 104 
 Hemenway St., Boston. Very recently a lieutenant's commission has been 
 finally granted him. Mrs. Towle and the two children, Alice and Harriet, 
 six and three years old respectively, are making their home for the present 
 with Mrs. Towle's parents at Laconia, N. H. 
 
Clifton A. Towle, 1903-1918 
 
16 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 Mr. Towle came to the school in the Fall of 1903, a few days after the 
 opening of the school year, to fill a vacancy in the science department. 
 He brought to his new position a rich experience. Born in the town of 
 Winthrop, Me., and early resolving to secure a college education, he 
 entered Oak Grove Seminary, Vassalboro,Me.,a school under the control of 
 the Society of Friends, and went from there to Haverford College. After 
 completing the Freshman year there, he returned to his native state and 
 entered the Sophomore class at Bowdoin. He remained here until his 
 graduation three years later, being a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon 
 fraternity. He then taught for a year in the high school at Lexington, 
 Mass., going thence to become the principal of the high school at Gorham, 
 N. H. After a few years of work there, he decided to enter private school 
 work, and came to the Academy, as stated above, in 1903. 
 
 His work comprised both science and French. He roomed at first 
 in the South Wing, but soon was put in charge of the Main Building 
 of Davis Hall. He was married in the summer of 1908 to Louise Stratton 
 of Laconia, N. H., whom he had met while at Gorham, and for five years 
 thereafter occupied the suite on the first fioor of North Dexter. In 
 1913 he moved to the rooms on the first floor of the Main Building, which 
 he occupied until the past summer, when it was arranged for him to live 
 outside the school, and he had just settled in an attractive home on 
 Germain Street when the call to the new work came. 
 
 Like all Academy teachers, he assumed a certain amount of adminis- 
 trative woi'k from the start. His ability in this line was so evident, 
 and his wisdom and tact in matters of tliscipline so marked, that various 
 duties of this sort fell to him successively, and about seven years ago, 
 when Dr. Abercrombie wished to delegate fully and definitely to another 
 certain important administrative tasks, Mr. Towle was selected for these, 
 and given the title of Assistant to the Principal. Last June, on the 
 assumption by Mr. Holmes of the principalshij), ]\Ir. Towle was made 
 Assistant Principal. 
 
 These positions brought him in charge of most of the disciplinary 
 details of the school life, including in particular, permissions, absences, 
 and tardiness, the assignment of rooms, church attendance, as well as 
 the more serious matters of discipline. In all these vexing problems he 
 won the full respect and co-operation of the l)oys, and they always recog- 
 nized his sense of justice and his devotion to their true interest. A large 
 part of the correspondence with parents came under his hand. He was 
 each summer in direct charge of the admission of new pupils to the school. 
 Throughout it all he retained his classes in botany and biology, and was 
 much of the time the practical head of the department of science. He 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 17 
 
 was from its organization an honorary member of Agora, and was always 
 active in promoting its interests. 
 
 His connections outside the school were many. For several years, in 
 association with Mr. MacMillan, then the head of the physical training 
 at the Academy and now known internationally for his arctic explorations, 
 he conducted a boys' summer camp at Bustin's Island in Casco Bay. He 
 was fond of mountain climbing and was an active member of the Appala- 
 chian Club. He was a member of the Rotary Club and the Economic 
 Club of Worcester, and a regular attendant of All Saints' Episcopal 
 Church. Within the last year or two Dr. Abercrombie and Mr. Holmes 
 had infected him with their enthusiam for golf, and he had to his credit 
 many a good score on the links of the city. He has been a Mason since his 
 days in Gorham. 
 
 At his last Chapel service the school and faculty presented him with a 
 handsome Hamilton watch with a chain and Masonic charm, the words 
 of presentation being spoken by George Johnson of the Senior class, for 
 the boys, and Mr. 41drich, for the faculty. The case of the watch was 
 engraved with the monogram C. A. T., and on the inside were the words 
 "Johnny" Towle, the name by which he was fondly known to the boys. 
 
 No one will regret his leaving the place he has so long filled more than 
 the alumni, who to the number of hundreds have looked upon him as an 
 honored and beloved part of their school. The returning boy always 
 sought him out, and the letters to school seldom failed to include a kind 
 remembrance for him. In his long career also he had formed deep friend- 
 ships with many of his colleagues, bonds which will outlast the Academy 
 days, and will remain strong and tender during the coming years. Dr. 
 Abercrombie, in particular, found great comfort and satisfaction in the 
 loyahy^ and efficiency of the man who stood so closely beside him in the 
 stress and moil of conducting the multiple sides of the school life, and 
 whose counsel he valued all the more, as he repeatedly said, because 
 their temperaments were so different. Mr. Towle's going removes 
 indeed a hand and a personality that the school could ill afford to lose, 
 but it cannot take away the fifteen years of true and productive service 
 that he had built into the very texture of Worcester Academy. This will 
 remain until the last of the boys who knew him drops from the pages of 
 the school's living alumni.

 Tlic Tablet in Tlie Megaruu 
 Placed by the Faculty of the Academy, November, 191S 
 
 Memorial Tablet to Dr. Abercrombie 
 
 There was placed in The Megaron the past fall the memorial tal^let to 
 Doctor Abercrombie which this cut represents. It was presented by the 
 members of the faculty of last year. It is placed on the east wall of the 
 alcove-platform, being thus one of the first objects to attract the attention 
 as a person enters The Megaron from Walker Hall, perhaps the most com- 
 mon approach. The inscription is easily legible from the cut, and seeks to 
 perpetuate in imperishable bronze the impression made by Doctor Aber- 
 crombie upon those men who worked most closely with him and who 
 knew so well his ideals and ambitions for the school and for his boys.

 Dr. Abercrombie in Leisure 
 
 During the summer Doctor and Mrs. Abercrombie settled themselves comfortably in 
 the new home they had bought at 8 Trowbridge Road, Worcester. They were found 
 there when the fall term of the Academy opened, and were happy in receiving the re- 
 turning teachers and old boys, who would drop over now and then to see the "Doctor." 
 After the school had been in session two or three weeks, Doctor Abercrombie came up 
 one morning, leading the Chapel service and speaking a hearty word to the boys. 
 
 In October, accompanied by Mrs, Abercrombie. he closed his home for the winter 
 and visited in New York, attending in the meantime his son Ralph's wedding which 
 took place November 2. They then went to Haverford and remained until Christmas 
 with his daughter Esther, whose husband, Dr. Dean B. Lockwood, has this year become 
 head of the Latin department at Haverford College. While here, an urgent call came 
 to him to act as treasurer of the funds of the Athletic Division of the Naval Recreation 
 Work of the government. After some consideration he finally decided not to accept 
 this offer, although this opportunity to take part in war-work was very tempting. 
 
 About January 1, Doctor and Mrs. Abercrombie went to Florida, where they pur- 
 pose to remain through most, if not all, of the winter. Their address is the Pines, Day- 
 tona, Fla. They expect to return to their Worcester home in the spring. 
 
 For several weeks Doctor Abercrombie has been suffering from a general attack of 
 rheumatism, which has particularly affected his right hand, necessitating its being 
 kept in splints and making it very difficult for him to write. The last word from him 
 states that some evidences of improvement can be seen. The boys and teachers of 
 the Academy, who were in the school last year, sent Doctor Abercrombie at Christmas 
 a set of the Odyssey with the Greek and the Latin translation on parallel pages, a 
 gift which gave him great pleasure as an evidence that the old fellows did not forget 
 him and that they were so mindful of his fondest tastes. 
 
 Later information in regard to himself and his plans comes in a letter dated Feb. 27: 
 
 "You will be glad to know that my hand is beginning to mend. The inflammation is 
 reducing, and I haven't worn it in the splints for a week now after two and a half months 
 'close bounds.' I am still full of rheumatism, but inflammation has broken out only in 
 the right hand. My knuckles on that hand hardly look like knuckles yet, and the 
 fingers are stiffly inflexible. The weather here has been very unfavorable for the trouble 
 during this month for it has been rainy, very damp with steaming heat, as it were. 
 
 "We leave here this coming Wednesday, March 5, for St. Augustine. The weather 
 is growing too warm, and we feel it wise to start northward, and break the long journej' 
 by a stop here and there. We shall be in St. Augustine about a month, and may find a 
 little suburban town near Charleston, S. C. where we shall stay a week or so. Then we 
 go on to Haverford again for another visit with Esther and Dean, and later to New York 
 to be with Dan and Ralph till summer. Both have been sick, Dan very sick, but both 
 are better now."

 LIEUTENANT GEORGE L. HOWARD, '02 
 
 Lieut. George Leslie Howard died August 12, 1918 in Flanders, from wounds received 
 in action three days before. 
 
 At the first threat of war in Mexico in 1916 he joined Company K, First New York 
 Infantry, National Guard. It developed that his regiment was not needed on the 
 border at that tiTne. In the spring of 1917, shortly before the declaration of war, he was 
 commissioned a lieutenant in the supplj- department of the first infantry and detached 
 from his company. For a time he was stationed at Utica where he worked indefatigably 
 to get the regiment equipped on a war basis. When the New York Guard was ordered 
 into training at Spartanburg he was made a line officer and assigned to Company L, 
 105th Infantry, which was made up largely of veteran troops who had seen border ser- 
 vice. He went to France with the 27th Division in May 1918, spent five weeks in an 
 officers' training camp over there, then rejoined his company and moved to the front. 
 He was promoted to first lieutenant July 1. A letter from him dated Aug. 1, about a 
 week preceding his death, stated that his company expected any minute to be sent to 
 the front firing line. News from the War Department reported first that he had been 
 seriously wounded by a stray shell in action Aug. 9. The next evening another mes- 
 sage to his father officially announced his death Aug. 12. He was buried at Esquel- 
 vecq, France. 
 
 He was born in Malone, N. Y., March 4, 1884, the son of George S. Howard. He was 
 a member of the junior class at Worcester Academy during the year 1900-1901. He 
 then took a year at Phillips Andover and entered Yale where he remained two years, 
 and then cut short his studies to enter upon a business career. He entered the employ 
 of Austin Nichols & Company, wholesale grocers of New York City, and remained with 
 them two years. Later he traveled extensively through the West for the Dennison Co. 
 His father in the meantime had become heavily interested in a wholesale grocery house 
 at Malone, and the son came back home in 1907 to assume its management, in which 
 work he was very successful . 
 
 He was very popular in his home town, and was particularly skillful in staging enter- 
 tainments for charitable purposes. He was married May 5, 1917, securing leave of 
 absence from duty at Peekskill, N. Y. for the wedding, to Ina Williams of Lancaster, 
 Ontario, who survives him without children. 
 
 A memorial service at Malone was very largely attended, and showed the esteem in 
 which he was held by his townsmen, many of whom had known him from boyhood. No 
 cut of him is available. 
 
 SERGEANT RALPH L. COOK, '04 
 
 Ralph Louis Cook, Sergeant 1st Class, 26th Aero Squadron, died in France Oct. 20, 
 1918, after a short illness from appendicitis. He enlisted early in July, 1917, and for a 
 
22 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 short time was stationed at one of the aviation ramiis on Lonji; Island. Previous to 
 enlisting he had liad considerable experience with the aerojjlane, having made a number 
 of flights with an instructor. He arrived in Enghiud in Sejitember 1917, and soon after 
 went across to P'rance where he remained until his death, being much of the time in 
 Issodun. 
 
 He was born in Worcester aljout 1884, the son of Le Roy Cook. He was a student 
 at the Academy from January 1899 to June 1901, entering with the preparatory class. 
 Soon afterwards he removed to California. At the time of his enlistment he was living at 
 White Plains, New York. He was married in 1914 to Mary Adella Moore, who sur- 
 vives him. 
 
 A letter sent from the Chaplain of his Corps says that he was buried the day after his 
 death with military ceremonies and with the Masonic ritual in the American cemetery 
 near the army post. He speaks of a touching little incident. Another soldier was 
 being buried far from his command without escort, without flowers. Sergeant Cook's 
 commander noted this, and from the wealth of flowers at his grave he ordered a choice 
 piece placed on the stranger's grave, in the belief that he woifld want to share with his 
 brother soldier. The chaplain was a professor at the Newton Theological Institution, 
 a circimistance very gratifying to his family as, while in Worcester, Cook and his people 
 attended the First Baptist Church. "Clean-cut, conscientious, high principled," 
 "make it strong what a royal good sport he was, and how well liked. " "one of the finest 
 men in the organization of the post, " were some of the comments made by his comrades. 
 
 LIEUTENANT LAWRENCE COWINCi, '06 
 
 Lieut. Lawrence Cowing died at Bordeaux, France, September 13, of a rare type of 
 jaundice (Weil's disease), following influenza. His sister, in Red Cross Canteen work in 
 France, was present at his funeral, but could not reach him before his death. He was 
 ill only a week. He was attended in the hospital by Major Hugh Cabot of Boston. 
 
 He was born in 1886, the son of R. A. Cowing of ^^'yoming, O. He entered Worcester 
 Academy in the fall of 1904 as a member of the junior class, and was here until June, 1906. 
 He roomed in Dexter Hall, and was prominent in baseball and other athletics, holding 
 the school championship in tennis. He was an uncle of C. Estes Wood, '09. 
 
 After leaving Worcester, he spent most of his time on the Pacific Coast. He was for 
 a couple of years at Spokane, about three years at Portland, Ore., in the real estate 
 business, and for the last two years at Los Angeles. He continued his fondness for 
 sport, and had a host of real friends wherever he went. He was a member of the Los 
 Angeles Country Club, and was amateur golf champion of California in 1916. 
 
 At the beginning of the war he enlisted a private in the 144th Field Artillery at 
 Los Angeles. Was made a sergeant at once, and was appointed 2nd lieutenant in 
 about six months. The regiment sailed across about the middle of last August, he 
 being thus on the other side only about a month. He worked hard and had the 
 respect of his fellow officers and the affection of his men. His colonel told his sister 
 that he was the one man in the regiment who could not be replaced. 
 
 SERGEANT CARL B. KRUSE, '06 
 
 Sergt. Carl Ballauf Kruse died Oct. 18, 1918, of influenza in his home city, Cincinnati. 
 He had been in war service since June. At the time war was declared he tried to get 
 into special work but failed to pass the physical requirements. Last June, however, he 
 was inducted into the motor train unit which had been established at the University of 
 Cincinnati. After the first term he was asked to remain as an instructor and was soon 
 made sergeant. He was about to be made top sergeant when he became ill. 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 23 
 
 He was stricken with the influenza wliile helping others during the worst stages of the 
 epidemic in his city. At first he did not seem seriously sick, but after pneumonia 
 developed he lasted only a short time. He was buried in military form, eight of his 
 soldier friends acting as pall bearers. 
 
 He was born in 1887, the son of Charles Kruse of Cincinnati. In the fall of 1903 he 
 entered the second-year class of the Academy, following his two older brothers, Robert L. 
 Kruse, '99 and Edgar A. Kruse, '01. He remained here until the end of his junior year, 
 rooming in Dexter Hall. For about five years after he left Worcester he was in the 
 automobile business with liis brother Edgar, after which he sold the Kelly-Springfield 
 motor truck. 
 
 His brother Edgar writes of him: "Carl was 31 years old when he died and was the 
 youngest boy in our family and the only child left at home. His parents naturally feel 
 their loss greatly, but in view of the fact that he was doing his bit for his country they 
 are bearing up well." 
 
 We regret that it has been impossible to get a portrait to accompany this sketch. No 
 one of the fellows who knew him and loved him in Worcesterneedsacut, however, to recall 
 the features of their friend Carl, who gave his life for others in the emergency of the 
 epidemic. 
 
 LIEUTENANT CARL A. DUDLEY, '07 
 
 Lieut. Carl Abell Dudley was killed in action upon the western front in P'rance, 
 Sept. 15, 1918, while serving as an officer in C Company, 306th Machine Gun Battalion, 
 U. S. A. The following sketch and j^ersonal tribute was written by Lieut. Harry L- 
 Wiggin, who himself is just home from France, and who by virtue of their class comrade- 
 ship and their close work together in the Legomathenian Society doubtless knew Carl 
 more intimately at the Academy than any other member of the school. 
 
 "Lieutenant Dudley was born in Keene, N. H. on February 27, 1889. He was the 
 son of Darwin E. Dudley, who was a well known Boston insurance man. Carl spent 
 his boyhood days in Keene and entered Worcester Academy in the Fall of 1903 as a 
 member of the class of 1906. After a year and a half with the '06 class, he dropped 
 back to the class of 1907. During his school career he was one of the most popular 
 members, not only of his class but of the school. His motto used to be "school first, 
 then the Class." There was no task too great for him nor was there any to which 
 he refused to give his best. A brief list of his various activities will show the faith and 
 trust that the school and his classmates had in him. In the Fall of 1906 he played 
 guard on the Varsity; was a most influential man on the Board of Monitors; was an 
 editor on the Academy Weekly board, and it was chiefly through his efforts that the 
 school paper was changed to the name of Vigornia, he being its first editor-in-chief; 
 he was class orator his senior year and his oration on Class Day was very highly spoken 
 of; in class athletics he was a very prominent member on the football, basketball, 
 and gym teams, being on three of the class championship teams; as a member of the 
 Legomathenian Society he was a debater of the keenest type, being a member of the 
 debating team two years, at one time its president, and for eight terms on its executive 
 committee. 
 
 "After graduating from Worcester he entered Harvard, but on account of his father's 
 death in June 1908 left college and entered the employ of the Boston Transcript. He was 
 a member of the city staff, and his duty was to "cover" police headquarters. From 
 the Transcript he went into the employ of Walter Baker & Co., Ltd., in that company's 
 advertising department. After several years there, he went to New York, to become 
 associated with the Three Examiners in the advertising department. 
 
 "In December 1917 he was called by the draft into the service, and was sent to Camp

 Upton, N. Y. He was assigned to the 152nd Depot Brigade, but was shortly trans- 
 ferred to a machine gun company. When the call sounded for the Third Officers' 
 Training Camp, he was among the first selected from the enlisted personnel, and on 
 January 5 started in his three months' intensive training. At the completion of his 
 course he came out a "candidate officer "and was assigned to the 305th Machine Gun 
 Battalion, which left for France in the early spring. Near the end of the summer he 
 received his commission, and was assigned to the 306th Machine Gun Battalion, serving 
 with C Company at the time of his death. 
 
 "To those who knew Carl, especially the members of his class, this news will be re- 
 ceived with great sorrow. He will be greatly missed at all the school gatherings. We 
 are proud of him, proud to have known him and to have been associated with him. He 
 gave his life willingly, in the service of his country, that democracy might triumph 
 over autocracy." 
 
 He is survived by his stepmother, Mrs. L. F. Wheeler of 52 Massachusetts Avenue, 
 Cambridge, Mass. He had no brothers nor sisters. 
 
 On the day that his death was announced to the Academy boys in the chapel and 
 the school stood at attention in his honor, Paul Hultman, also of '06, happened to be 
 present. He arose and spoke most feelingly of his old schoolmate, emphasizing the 
 manner in which he always stood for that which is right and clean and honorable, and 
 how he had led the school toward the best things. 
 
 LIEUTENANT CHARLES R. BULL, '09 
 
 Lieut. Charles Roy Bull died in Camp Lee, Va. Oct. 11, 1918, from pneumonia. His 
 military service began in April 1917, when he joined the training school at Plattsburg. 
 After three months he received his honorable discharge, and in the early fall took a 
 position with the War Risk Insurance Dept., U. S. Treasury, Washington. He filled 
 this position, which was important government service, until April, 1918. In that 
 month he went to Camp Upton, L. I., became a sergeant, and in July was sent to the 
 Officers' Training School at Camp Lee, Va. Here he received his commission as 2nd 
 Lieutenant almost simultaneously with his death, which occurred during the epidemic 
 which raged in that camp during October. 
 
 He was born in 1891, the son of George W. Bull. He came to the Academy in the 
 fall of 1905, his home at that time being Monticello, Maine. He entered the first year 
 class, and, completing the regular course of four years, was graduated in 1909. He 
 was a member of Sigma Zeta Kappa, and became prominent in many of the activities 
 of the school. His younger brother. Frank A., came with him to the Academy in 1906. 
 
 Charles entered Bowdoin and was graduated there in the class of 1914, being a 
 member of Alpha Delta Phi. He then entered the George Washington Law School 
 at Washington, D. C, graduating in 1916. During his studies here he for a time was in 
 the law division of the Library of Congress. He at once accepted a position in the law 
 office of Harrington, Bingham & Englar, 64 Wall St., New York City, passing the 
 New York bar examination that fall,and remained with this firm until he went to Platts- 
 burg just after the United States entered the war. 
 
 His career in Bowdoin, in his legal studies, and in his government service uniformly 
 bears testimony to his splendid qualities and mental gifts. A close friend speaks of 
 his life, which unfortunately came to its end so soon, as a fine, clear continuation of 
 the qualities and possibilities he showed at Worcester. He came to the Academy a 
 young boy and grew into youth while here. Everybody was fond of him, and recognized 
 his powers and his charm as a friend. His long stay in the school and his close con- 
 nection with its varied interests mark him as one of the most thoroughly Worcester 
 boys of those the Academy has given to the country in this war.

 PAYMASTER GEORGE A. HUNT, '09 
 
 George Allen Hunt was killed at Philadelphia about February 1, by falling into the 
 hold of a vessel while superintending the loading of supplies. He joined the Navy 
 shortly after the war was declared, and at his death held the grade of Paymaster. He 
 had formerly been a member of the state militia and did strike duty with his regiment 
 at Lawrence in 1912. 
 
 He was born in Rockland, Mass., about 18S9, the son of George H. Hunt. He entered 
 the Academy in September 1906, being registered with the second year class, and 
 remained here two years. For the last six years he has lived at Wollaston, Mass., 
 and at the time of his enlistment was employed in the loan department of the Old Col- 
 ony Trust Company of Boston. He was a member of the Wollaston Yacht Club; was 
 also a Mason. A wife and two children survive him. 
 
 LIEUTENANT ERROL D. MARSH, '09 
 
 Lieut. Errol Dwight Marsh, ;S19th Iiifantr}-, was killed in action Nov. 2, 1918, in 
 France. The first word to his father was sent by a brother officer who found the body 
 as the Americans were advancing against the German lines in the last great battle of 
 the war and who wrote this hurried word; "I came across your son early Nov. 2. Being 
 on the same mission for which he gave his life, every second counted. Noting his being 
 an officer, I looked for identification for military reasons. I merely looked in his 
 kit bag and these three pages in a note book caught my eye. One of them demands that 
 I send them back to the transport for mailing, as I am going on and might not get 
 another chance." One page of the note book contained Lieut. Marsh's full home 
 address. 
 
 This letter from the battlefield came to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight 
 F. Marsh, Westboro, Mass., in the afternoon, and was followed in the evening by the 
 receipt of a letter from their son written some days before his death and telling of his 
 transfer from the 302nd infantry to the 319th, and stating that he was in charge of 
 800 men similarly transferred. The official notification of his death came some time 
 later. 
 
 He was born in Ware, Mass. July 19, 1889. He attended the schools of Westboro, 
 whither his parents had removed, and after graduating from the high school and a short 
 term of study at Andover, he entered the Academy in the fall of 1907 as a day student. 
 He remained here two years, and then entered Dartmouth college. After three years 
 there he returned to Westboro, and entered business with his father in the manufacture 
 of trellises and plant sticks. For awhile he was connected with Willett, Sears & Co., 
 wholesalers of Boston. 
 
 Following the nation's declaration of war he went to Plattsburg and received his 
 commission as 2nd Lieutenant at the conclusion of the first period of instruction. With 
 the formation of the 76th Division, he was summoned to active duty at Camp Devens. 
 His division went overseas on July 4, last, and had been engaged at the front constantly 
 after that time. 
 
 He was married August 23, 1917 to Miss Jane Nason, daughter of Mrs. John S. Nason 
 of Westboro. The wife was in Florida with her mother at the time of Lieut. Marsh's 
 death and the news was telegraphed her there. His letters home have been full of 
 expressions of affection to his family and of devotion to the military service. Mr. Al- 
 drich met him in Hanover shortly after his marriage, and wiU long remember the splendid 
 appearance which he presented in his lieutenant's uniform.

 CORPORAL HAROLD L. DUTTON, '10 
 
 Corp. Harold Laforest Dutton died Nov. 23, 1918, of wounds received in the Argonne 
 Forest Oct. 13 previous. Notice of his death did not reach his family until Dec. 16. 
 They had not received a letter from him since Oct. 1, and early in December word was 
 received that he was missing in action. This was followed the next day by a telegram 
 that he was restored to his regiment. At last reports no details as to the nature of his 
 wounds had been received, and the family have been at a loss to understand the con- 
 flicting statements and also why they received no word of any kind from Oct. 13 until 
 Dec. It is believed however that he was wounded and taken prisoner and probably 
 found in a German prison hospital after the armistice was signed. 
 
 He was born about 1890, the son of Henry H. Dutton. He entered Worcester Acad- 
 emy in the fall of 1908, registering in the second-year class. He remained here two years. 
 He was prominent in athletics, particularly in football and in the weight events. He 
 was also elected Manager of the track team for his last year. He was a member of the 
 Legomathenian Society. 
 
 After two years at the Academy he entered the Wharton School of the University 
 of Pennsylvania, being there a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. After re- 
 ceiving his diploma there he returned to Portsmouth N. H., his former home, and as- 
 sociated himself with his father in the wholesale butter and egg business, and soon 
 became one of the best known young business men of the city. At the beginning of 
 the war he twice offered his services but was rejected for physical reasons . Later he was 
 drafted and finally accepted, and went to Camp Devens Mar. 29, 1918. He was there 
 only eighteen days, and later was transferred to Camp Dix. He soon was sent overseas 
 as Corporal in Company F. 325th Infantry, 82nd Division, and received three months' 
 training in France. Active fighting for him came in June, and he was in the big St. 
 Mihiel salient and later in the Argonne. 
 
 He was married March 14, 1918, just before going to Camp Devens, to Miss Alice 
 Gifford. The first word of his death came to the Academy in a letter from her ac- 
 knowledging the school's New Year's greeting, in which she says; "I write you because 
 I know you will want to know how bravely another of your boys has sacrificed his all 
 and left so mam^ of us lonely for him." The pathos of his death will come home all 
 the more closely to his many W.A. friends on account of the doubt as to the circumstances 
 of his last days as well as the way in which his death became known to his old school. 
 
 Note. Full details of his death, received too late for this issue, will appear in the 
 next Bulletin. 
 
 SERGEANT PAUL H. KNOWLES, '13 
 
 Sergt. Paul Hawthorne Knowles died November 15, 1918, from pneumonia, in the 
 Mars Military Hospital in France. He was buried with full military honors in the 
 Military Cemetery in that place. His older brother Carroll was with him at the last. 
 
 He volunteered in May, 1917, for service in an Officers' Training Camp, but was re- 
 jected on account on being underweight and because of a defective heart. In September, 
 1917, however, he was drafted, and at that time accepted, being assigned to Company A, 
 314th Field Signal Battalion, 89th Division. In May, 1918, he was appointed to at- 
 tend an Officers' Training Camp, but the order was cancelled and he was immediately 
 detailed to oversea duty. After two months in training in France, he was made a 
 Corporal. About this time his division was sent to the front, taking ])art in the opera- 
 tions at Chateau Thierry, Soissons, St. Mihiel, Verdun, and the Argonne Forest. In 
 this period he was made a Sergeant-Major. He was wounded November 5, in the 
 closing days of the battle in the Argonne Forest, and died ten days later, the wound 
 apparently developing into pneumonia.

 He was born October 23, 1894, and thus was 24 years of age at the time of his death. 
 He entered the Academy together with his older brother, Carroll W. Knowles, '11, in. 
 the fall of 1907, and was here for four years, being registered when he left in June, 1911 
 with the second year class. He was very prominent in the athletics and the other 
 activities of the younger boys of the school. After leaving Worcester, he completed 
 his preparation for college in high school and entered Hamilton College in 1915. He 
 is survived beside his brother, Carroll, by his mother, Mrs. Kathervn Solari of 205 
 West 89th St., New York City, and by a younger brother, Robert L., who has been in 
 the Navy on the U. S. Super-dreadnought Florida, in foreign service under Admiral 
 Sir David Beatty, and who has just returned with hearing much impaired from his 
 service. 
 
 CORPORAL ELSTON A. DAY, '15 
 
 Corp. Elston Almond Day died Sept. 26, 1918, during the influenza epidemic at 
 Camp Devens. He was an alumnus of the class of 1915. He entered in September, 
 1913, and soon was well known because of his high scholarship and good-natured will- 
 ingness to help others. Among other things, he was a football man, a member of 
 Agora, and in his senior year, a monitor. 
 
 The fall following his graduation, Elston went to the Massachusetts Agricultural 
 College, where he joined Beta Kappa Phi fraternity. One year was the length of his 
 stay in college, for in June, 1916, he left to go into the business of contractor's supplies 
 with his father. About two years later, he married Miss Abbie Adams, of Northbridge. 
 
 Although rejected on account of his eyes. Day tried twice to enlist before going to 
 Camp Devens on July 24, scarcely a month after his marriage. There he passed the 
 highest psychological government examination, and became a corporal, serving as 
 clerk to A Co. of the 74th Inf., when he succumbed to an attack of pneumonia fol- 
 lowing influenza. 
 
 Day is buried in Princeton, Maine, in which town he was born, December 26, 1893. 
 Although attending primary school there, it was in Waterville that he went to grammar 
 school. At the end of this time he left Waterville, and in Northbridge, Mass., grad- 
 uated from high school before entering Worcester Academy, where he remained two 
 years. A. H. Welch, '15. 
 
 SERQEANT ANDREW J. PROVOST, '16 
 
 Sergt. Andrew Jay Provost, 3d, '16, died Nov. 7, 1918, from wounds received in 
 action Nov. 1. His regiment had been in action on the St. Mihiel front from Sept. 12 
 to Oct. 4, and in the Argonne Forest from Oct. 12 to the end of hostilities. From a 
 companion wounded the same day, Provost's father has received information that 
 makes it appear almost certain that Andrew fell in the Bois de Loge a few miles north 
 of Grand Pre, which town his division had captured and held a few days before, after it 
 had been taken and retaken several times. 
 
 He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., Mar. 20, 1894, but his home since early childhood 
 was in Richmond Hill, N. Y., where he attended the public schools until he entered 
 the Manual Training High School in Brooklyn. For an intermediate period before 
 entering Worcester Academy he was in the employ of the city, and worked with the 
 engineering force on the construction of a portion of the Catskill Aqueduct. This 
 contact with trained technical men awakened in him the desire to resume his studies. 
 Accordingly he entered Worcester Academ\ in January, 1913, as a member of the second 
 year class, and remained until June, 1914. His interest in school activities increased 
 gradually and before he left he was looked upon as a leader in the school. He was a 
 member of the Legomathenian Society. A younger brother, Balston, was a student 
 at the Academy 1916-18.

 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 Upcn leaving the Academy it was his purpose to 
 master the practical and technical details of the manu- 
 facture of woolen goods, and with this end in view he 
 entered the Amoskeag Mills at Manchester, N. H. He 
 proved very efficient in problems connected with com- 
 plicated high speed machinery. During his last year 
 at Manchester his work attracted the attention of 
 other mills, and before he entered the army he received 
 very flattering offers which he declined, for his mind at 
 that time was fiilly absorbed with the hope of entering 
 the aviation service. He entered upon training in 
 this service and soon qualified, and was promised an 
 assigmiient which would lead to a commission. Before 
 he was asked to report, however, he was in active service 
 with the British Reserves in France, and his transfer 
 could not be arranged. Although this was a keen 
 disappointment, his letters show that he liked the infantry and was proud of the two 
 promotions which he received. One of liis last letters home said that he was out for 
 higher rank. This ambition was fulfilled, as the U. S. War Department has officially 
 listed him as sergeant, a promotion that had been recommended when he wrote his last 
 letter only three days before he was wounded. This communication from the U. S. 
 Army authorities as well as the sector in which he was last fighting shows that he had 
 been transferred from the British Army to an American division. The action on 
 Nov. 1, in which he met his death, was the final decisive operation, and only a nominal 
 resistance thereafter was encountered in the advance of the Americans to Sedan. 
 
 Sergt. Provost's father speaks repeatedly in his letter to us of Andrew's deep loyalty 
 and affection to Worcester Academy, its traditions, its masters, and its students. He 
 says: "Coming to it without proper preliminary training in application and school 
 discipline he soon became conscious of the spirit that prevailed, and counted the days 
 spent there among the happiest and most useful of his life. After he left it, in the work- 
 room and on the battlefield, I am sure he carried the Academy's banner in his heart." 
 
 D. EMORY HOLMAN, '17 
 
 David Emory Holman died Oct. 9, 1918, of pneumonia following influenza. He had 
 enlisted the March previous as second class seaman, in the Naval Reserve at Newport, 
 R. I., and was at the Naval Station at Newport through the summer. About the middle 
 of September he was seized with the influenza, and at the end of a week developed 
 pneumonia, being very ill from the first. His mother and sister were with him for the 
 last two weeks before the end came. The funeral services were held at his home, 
 39 Pleasant Street, Attleboro. Mass. 
 
 Emory was born November 15, 1896, bemg the second son of Samuel M. Holman of 
 Attleboro. He attended the local schools of that town, and was graduated from the 
 High School in the class of 1916. While there he gained a reputation as an athlete, 
 being proficient in all four major sports, but particularly skilful in basketball, and was 
 captain of the team during the season of his senior year. 
 
 He entered Worcester Academy in the fall of 1916, having it in his mind at that time 
 to prepare for Brown University. He entered into athletics here also and received his 
 W in football. The following simimer he was at the White Mountain Camps at Tam- 
 worth, New Hampshire. When fall came he entered the employment of the Lewis 
 Manufacturing Company of Walpole. Mass., makers of hospital supplies, and remained 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 31 
 
 with them until March when he enlisted. While at Walpole, he coached the basket- 
 ball team of the high school. 
 
 After being at Newport about three months and serving as orderly detail at the Sec- 
 ond Naval District Receiving Barracks, he made an application for transfer to aviation, 
 and in this purpose he wrote Dr. Abercrombie under date of June 13: "I have been 
 stationed at Newiicrt for the past three months, enlisted as a seaman, and have decided 
 that I can serve my country better in the capacity of a pilot in Naval Aviation. In 
 order to enter this branch of the service, it is necessary to have three letters of recom- 
 mendation in regard to the applicant's character, and I know of no recommendation 
 that I would value so highly as I would one from you. " 
 
 Besides his parents he is survived by a sister and a brother. The estimate that he 
 won from his associates, both in school and in his short life afterward, is well summed 
 up in the following words written his mother by a Y. M. C. A. secretary in charge at the 
 Naval Station at Newport: "May I say that there was no one in camp better liked by 
 all men who knew him, a splendid man with a big heart. He has given his all for his 
 country as much as any who have fought, for he has borne the hardships of an exacting 
 camp life and its tedious routine, far from the excitement and exhilaration of active 
 warfare, with unceasing effort. " 
 
 LEWIS A. YOUNG, M7 
 
 Lewis Armstrong Young, machinist's mate on the U. S. S. M«ri>/ia, died of influenza 
 Oct. 15, 1918, while his ship was in port at Bordeaux. He had been ill only about a 
 week, but grew steadily worse from the beginning. The best medical aid was available 
 but it proved impossible to stay the progress of the disease. His burial was military, 
 and the body was accompanied to the grave by the full ship's crew, as well as over one 
 hundred Masons from the shore station. 
 
 His service began on July 26, 1917, when he enlisted in the Naval Reserve as machin- 
 ist's mate, second class, and was assigned to the receiving ship at Commonwealth Pier. 
 He was there a week and then left rather unexpectedly for the Brooklyn Navy Yard to 
 join the U. S S. Marietta and to go overseas. This unexpected transfer gave him 
 no chance to go to his home in Province town to say goodbye. He did see his brother, 
 Arthur J.Young, '16. in Boston, and his mother and his fiancee, Miss F. Louise Waldin of 
 Provincetown, went to New York and were with him for two or three evenings. Lewis 
 then left for Newport and then for overseas, being lieard from about two months 
 afterward at the Azores. His ship was on duty largely in the Mediterranean, touching 
 at Gibraltar and various other ports. In a log which he kept and which is now a 
 highly prized possession of his mother, he speaks of submarine attacks and of the pos- 
 sible sinking of one by his ship. Later the ship was ordered to a port on the west 
 coast of France, where it was stationed when his death occurred. He had been made 
 acting Chief Machinist, and was soon to have received definite promotion to that rank. 
 
 While at Commonwealth Pier Lewis and a fellow Mason became very much attached 
 and they hoped to be assigned to the same ship. This desire however was not granted, 
 but the transport Covington, en which his friend had been placed, was sunk off France, 
 and his friend, who was rescued, found him again and they later were together on the 
 Marietta as they had at first hoped. This friend was with him during his illness, and 
 stood watch with him the night before his death. 
 
 Lewis Young was born Feb. 8, 1896, the son of William H. Young of 12 Carver Street, 
 Provincetown, Mass. He was at the Academy in the fall of 1914, his brother Arthur J. 
 Young, '16, entering at the same time. After leaving the Academy, and after attending 
 Gushing for some time, he entered the Wentworth Institute, where he finished his

 course as an accomplished inachiuist. In the fall of the next year he took a course in 
 ignition at the Y. M. C. A. Northeastern School. That summer he operated a garage 
 for Dr. C. P. Curley in Provincetown, and the next fall took a position with the Chandler 
 Automobile Company for which he worked until the time of his enlistment. His 
 efficient work with them opened to him excellent prospects for business advancement, 
 but he laid it all aside when he felt he should join the forces of his country. 
 
 TRUEMAN E. KILE, '18 
 
 Trueman Eugene Kilo died December (J, 1918. He was a member of the S. A. T. C. 
 at the Massachusetts State College, Amherst, Mass. He was born April 19, 1898, the 
 son of B. E. Kile of 295 Olney Street, Providence, R. I. He came to the Academy from 
 the Hope Street High School of Providence, entering our Junior class and remaining here 
 during the school year 1916-'17. 
 
 CORPORAL VINCENT W. MARSHALL, '18 
 
 Corp. Vincent Wilson Marshall died of influenza-pneumonia, Oct. 15, 1918, at Ann 
 Arbor, Mich. He entered the University of Michigan in September, being enrolled in 
 the S. A. T. C. While here he was seized by the prevailing epidemic. His father and 
 mother were smnmoned from Chicago the morning of his death, and reached Ann Arbor 
 at six p. M., only to find that he had passed away two hours before. 
 
 He was born Mar. 22, 1899, the son of J. B. Marshall, now of 1040 Elmwood Ave., 
 Wilmette, Chicago, 111. He was a pupil at the Asheville School for the two years 
 1914-16, and entered Worcester Academy in the fall of 1916, becoming a member of 
 the junior class. He was elected a member of the Sigma Zeta Kappa society, and 
 interested himself in various lines of school activity. He was prominent in soccer, 
 winning his letter both years of his stay here. He received his diploma in June, in the 
 scientific course, and was then intending to enter Cornell, but changed his plans during 
 the summer. He was popular with his fellow students at Worcester, and was looked 
 upon as a boy of much promise. The news of his death will come with great sorrow, es- 
 pecially to the members of his class, in whose ranks his death makes a vacant place 
 in so few short weeks after the good-bye last June. The accompanying photograph 
 is from the class picture. 
 
 In the few weeks that he had been at the Univ. of Michigan he had become much 
 interested in his work, and was ambitious to obtain an officer's commission. He had 
 already been elected corporal. 
 
 LIEUTENANT CLIFFORD Q. PARK, '19 
 
 Lieut. Clifford George Park died in France sometime in October from pneumonia. 
 As soon as the United States entered the war he felt a desire to enter service and did not 
 return to the school in the fall of 1917. He enlisted in the aviation corps and was sent 
 to the training camp at Mount Clemens, Mich. After completing the course here he 
 was sent to Mineola, N. Y. He sailed for France in Aug. 1918, and was in active 
 service until seized by the epidemic. 
 
 He was born July 10, 1917, and thus was barely twenty-one at the time of his death. 
 His father was George Park of Dexter. Me., manager of the Dumbarton Mills of that 
 town, the family coming there from Connecticut about fifteen years ago. Following 
 his attendance at the local schools Clifford entered Worcester Academy in the fall of 
 1914, joining the first year class. He had been at the Academy three consecutive years

 when he withdrew to enter the service. He was active in the work of the school's Young 
 Men's Christian Association, and was always eager to lend his hand to any good cause. 
 Letters received from him by his parents since his arrival overseas were filled with good 
 cheer, and show him to be full of courage and eager to do his full share for his country 
 in the air. He had already established among his fellow flyers a reputation for skill and 
 bravery. He had found in this branch of service the way in which he could be of great 
 use to his country, and his name will remain in the annals of the Academy as that of a 
 manly boy who was always ready to do his duty. 
 
 W. A. Men in Service, by Classes 
 
 The following lists continue similar lists that have appeared in the last tbree 
 issues of the Bullp:t]n. The names of all former students of the Academy known to 
 have been in service are included. The names of those concerning whom no word has 
 been received directly or indirectly since the last issue are given at the end of the several 
 classes. Nearly two hundred names have been added in response to letters of inquiry 
 sent to former students who, leaving the school before the senior year, had not been 
 on our Alumni list. 
 
 A considerable part of the information in these classes will no doubt be out of date 
 by the time this issue reaches its readers. This is particularly true in regard to dis- 
 charges from service and returns from abroad. Some of the statements therefore will 
 have to be interpreted as applying to a date some weeks back, rather than to the present 
 moment. Much effort nevertlieless has been taken to get the latest facts, and only in 
 few cases have we based our statements on material reaching us earlier than December. 
 
 1887 
 Dr. Edwin G. Dexter, whose entrance 
 into Red Cross service was reported in the 
 June BULLETIN, has now been for some 
 time Chief of the Bureau of War Orphans 
 of the American Red Cross, and as such 
 has a record family of some 40,000 or- 
 phans. He says they are a very delightful 
 little bunch. Recently a new task has 
 been assigned him, namely that of organ- 
 izing and directing the American Red 
 Cross expedition to Montenegro. A ship 
 from Marseilles is to be at his disposal. 
 He expects to take with him more than 750 
 tons of food and clothing; 20 automobiles 
 and trucks to aid in transportation; three 
 hospital units equipped with nurses and 
 doctors; and a sufficient clerical personnel 
 to run the expedition. The unit will be 
 stationed at Pogoritza, Montenegro, and 
 will remain in the country at least six 
 months. Doctor Dexter expected to 
 spend Christmas in Paris with his son, 
 Capt. Henry V. Dexter, '14. 
 
 1889 
 Robert M. Brown was appointed in 
 Oct. by the U. S. Government on a war 
 emergency board to investigate the oil 
 and gas production of the country. The 
 general nature of the work was the plot- 
 ting of curves of the flow of oil wells and 
 oil pockets and the pressures of gas bearing 
 rocks, with a view of determining the 
 future sui)ply. He was sent to Pittsburgh, 
 Pa., with the possibility of working later 
 in the adjacent oil districts of West 
 Virginia and Ohio.

 Pres. .John Hope, after twenty-five 
 years of almost uninterrupted service at 
 Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia, was 
 granted some months ago six months leave 
 from his duties at the college. He at once 
 offered his services to the Y. M. C. A., and 
 sailed in Aug. for France as assistant to 
 Mr. Carter, Supervisor of the Y. M. C. A. 
 work abroad. Since his arrival he has 
 not oiih' sui:)ervised the work among

 colored troops, but in view of 33 years of 
 close contact with men and boys he has 
 had all questions concerning colored sol- 
 diers referred to him. Before the arm- 
 istice was signed the Y. M. C. A. asked 
 for an extension of his leave for the dura- 
 tion of the war and six months thereafter, 
 which request was granted. His head- 
 quarters are at 12 Rue d'Aguesseau, Paris. 
 
 Dr. Fred W. Marvel has been on a 
 civilian commission on Training Camp 
 Activities during the summer, serving 
 particularly as Inspector of Athletics for 
 the War Department. He had occasion 
 to study the entire work of physical 
 training, visiting several camps. 
 
 Hubert M. Sedgwick writes that his 
 work as Secretary of the Athletic Division 
 of the Commission on Training Camp 
 Activities for the U. S. Navy is about over. 
 He feels that the work, under Walter 
 Cam}), has been a most interesting and 
 valuable piece of activity. 
 
 Also in service, Maj. H. W. Hobbs.

 Emmons Bryant, Capt., Service of 
 Supplies, went to France last spring after 
 his work in equipping recruits at Camp 
 Upton. His first assignment in France 
 was as Railhead Officer of the First Div., 
 and later of the 2nd Div. also. In this 
 capacity he handled all supplies for the 
 advance of these two divisions in and 
 around Chateau Thierry, one office being 
 demolished and another severely bombed 
 during this action. He then organized 
 supplies for the advance at St. Mihiel, 
 and afterwards was transferred to the 
 Regulating Office at Paris, as assistant. 
 In October he was made Chief Regulating 
 Officer and organized all supplies for the 
 advance of the 27th and 30th Div. against 
 the Hindenburg Fine. In Dec. the Paris 
 office was closed, and he was made Chief 
 of the Regulating Office at St. Dizier. 
 
 Also in service, Maj. S. McCullagh 
 (France).

 Springfield, Mass. 
 
 Arthur W. Ewell, Capt., has returned 
 home from his work as bomb expert for 
 the A. E. F. in France. He is now 
 stationed in Washington, D. C. 
 
 Ralph S. Mighill sailed in Oct. for Red 
 Cross work abroad, as a commissioned 
 officer. He expected his headquarters to 
 be at Paris. He writes that he, being 
 five months over the draft age, single, 
 without dependents, and wanting to get 
 into the service, found the Red Cross 
 offered the best field.

 Dr. Walter H. Flanders was called to 
 duty August 13, in the Medical Corps of 
 the Navy. He was stationed at the Base 
 Dispensary, NewjDort, R. I., until Novem- 
 ber 6. when he was made Senior Medical 
 Officer on the U. S. S.Don Juan de Austria. 
 He is a Lieutenant. At the first demand 
 for motor boats to be used as submarine 
 chasers he turned over his boat to the gov-

 work as long as there is need. During the 
 past summer he lectured regularly to the 
 Dartmouth Training Unit on the aims of 
 the war, and also had charge of the history 
 work given to the Dartmouth S. A. T. C. 
 this past fall. 
 
 Dr. Paul E. Sabine's address in Wash- 
 ington, D. C. is 1010 No. Carolina Ave. 
 Since June 3, 1918, he has been engaged in 
 experimental work in naval aircraft. 
 
 George S. Dole, an Ensign, has been in 
 command of one of the submarine chasers 
 operating in European waters. He was 
 mentioned in November for promotion for 
 efficient service. 
 
 Donald B. MacMillan volunteered his 
 services some time ago for Naval Aviation 
 work and was called to the Navial Training 
 Station at Chicago. He is now back at 
 his work writing and lectiu'ing. 
 
 Lieut. Guerdon N. Messer, who resigned 
 his position as Physical Director of Wor- 
 cester Academy two years ago in order to 
 enter the service of New York as Assistant 
 Supervisor on the Military Training Com- 
 mission, only to be drafted within a few 
 months into the army at Camp Devens, 
 was transferred early in November from 
 Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga., to Camp 
 Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, to serve as 
 Director of Physical Training and Athle- 
 tics at the latter camp. Mr. Messer, 
 after securing his officer's commission at 
 Camp Devens, was sent to Camp Gordon, 
 where his ability as an organizer and 
 director of athletics very quickly mani- 
 fested itself He was given a warm wel- 
 come at Camp Sherman last November, 
 whither his reputation had preceded him. 
 Hardly had he completed the organization 
 of the athletics at the latter camp, how- 
 ever, when the signing of the armistice re- 
 sulted in a rapid mustering out of the 95th 
 division there, including Lieut. Messer 
 himself He is now back in his former 
 position at Albany, N. Y. 
 
 Charles Jones, who resigned his instruc- 
 torship in Greek and Latin last June in 
 order to enter the service of the Y.M.C.A. 
 in France, was assigned to duty with an 
 organization known as the Foyer du 
 Soldat, whose purpose is the training of 
 young French officers in American sports. 
 This work is carried on at the Ecole Nor- 
 male Militaire de Gymnastique, situated 
 at Joinville-le-Pont, department of the 
 Seine, about ten miles from Paris. In 
 spite of the armistice the work is still 
 going on, about three hundred officers 
 
72 
 
 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 being instructed at one time, these in turn 
 making way for another simihir grouj). 
 After the completion of the course these 
 officers become instructors in j^hysical 
 training and sjjorts at various French 
 army centers. Mr. Jones is known simph' 
 as the Instructeur Americain. A still 
 later word from him states that he has 
 been sent to Algiers for similar service. 
 
 Charles W. Bradlee, Jr., instructor in 
 Manual Training until a year ago, has been 
 serving for nearly a year as a Y. M. C. A. 
 secretary in France Since the signing of 
 the armistice he has let it be known that 
 his work has all been carried on in the 
 vicinity of Rheims, thus affording him the 
 opportunity of getting into the thick of the 
 fighting. During his hazardous labors he 
 has been twice wounded, both times in the 
 face. As a result of the second wound 
 he will probab.y carry a piece of German 
 shrapnel in his head for the rest of his life. 
 Now that demol)ilization is taking place 
 he expects soon to be given his discharge. 
 At present he is vmdecided as to whether 
 to return to the United States, or to re- 
 main in France and engage in reconstruc- 
 tion work. 
 
 John W. Forrest, Instructor in Science 
 from 1916 to 1918, was drafted into the 
 army and sent to Camp Upton, Yaphank, 
 Long Island, just as school ojjened in 
 September. After seven weeks at that 
 camp, during which he experienced an at- 
 tack of influenza, he was transferred to 
 Delhi, N. Y., to serve as clerk to the local 
 draft board. His assignment to that 
 particular locality was doubtless made be- 
 cause it placed him in close proximity to 
 many relatives and friends. In December 
 
 he was sent back to Camp Upton, and 
 there mustered out shortly after Jan. 1. 
 
 William L. Langer enlisted in the 23d 
 Eng. last winter. He was finallv called to 
 C-o. E of the 30th Eng. and assigned to the 
 1st Cas Regt. Went across in June, then 
 having the rank of Sergt. A letter from 
 him in August states that he was about to 
 go to the front. His home address is 16 
 Carver Street, Cambridge, Mass. Is now 
 (March 1) back home, and will resume his 
 work at Harvard. 
 
 Percival M. Symonds, who served as an 
 Instructor in Mathematics last year, has 
 been recently engaged in the Ordnance 
 Proving Service at Camp Aberdeen, 
 Maryland. His work has consisted of the 
 drawing up of mathematical tables, based 
 upon actual firing tests, by which the 
 range-finding for the various classes of 
 artillery could afterward be controlled. 
 More recently he has been mustered out of 
 the United States service, and has ac- 
 cepted a position in the statistical de- 
 partment of the John Hancock Life 
 Insurance Co. at Boston. 
 
 Major Frank W. Cavanaugh, our former 
 well-known football coach, has been in a 
 French hospital recovering from shrapnel 
 wounds received in action, which l)adly 
 disfigured his face. When Cavanaugh 
 went overseas with the 102nd Field Art. 
 he held a lieutenant's commission; shortly 
 after the 26th Division arrived in France 
 he was promoted to a captaincy. After 
 the fighting at Chateau Thierry last 
 August, he served as Acting Major until 
 late October when he was wounded. About 
 the time the armistice was declared he 
 received his Major's commission.

 NEWS OF THE ALUMNI 
 
 ATTENTION 
 
 Each and every reader of The Bulletin is earnestly asked to co=operate 
 in making this department complete and interesting. Your part is to keep 
 us informed, primarily concerning yourself, and incidentally concerning 
 others. You are interested in getting news about the other fellow; he 
 feels the same about you. A certain number of facts reach us through 
 personal visits of old fellows to the school, through casual correspondence 
 that comes to the school office, and through the daily and college press. 
 For the greater part, however, we must rely upon direct word from the 
 individual alumnus. 
 
 To tempt you to give us this co=operation we are enclosing a loose slip 
 in this issue. Will not each one return it with some news? We want 
 business changes, new addresses, offices, and honors, vital statistics, 
 and the various other items that interest you in the case of the other 
 fellow. Give definite names, dates, etc., when possible. Newspaper 
 clippings are especially helpful. Give us a hint, if that is all you have, 
 and we will follow it up. The slip enclosed is adapted on one side for 
 those in war service; on the reverse, for the civilian. 
 
 Mail your response to Fred D. Aldrich, Worcester Academy, Worcester, 
 Mass. 
 
 DO IT NOW!

 1863 Mrs. C. C. Cable of 862 Eustis 
 St., St. Paul, Minn., called at the Acad- 
 emy the past summer to see the present 
 location of the school attended by her 
 father, the late William H. Cheney, who 
 was at Worcester Academy, 1862-63, 
 coming here from Hart, Mich 
 
 1864 William L, Eddy of Girard,, 
 Kansas, is one of the comparatively small 
 number of Academy men of the sixties 
 whose names have been on our mailina 
 list. We were hapj)y to receive recently 
 the following message of response from 
 him addressed' to the present students of 
 the school. "I don't know as this will 
 interest anyone, except perhaps because 
 of ancient date. The school when I 
 attended was at the corner of Belmont 
 and Summer Streets. When the school 
 closed in Feb., 1864, I enlisted in the 25th 
 Mass. Reg. Vol., was wounded severely 
 near Petersburg, Va., and was discharged 
 in Philadelphia, Sept. 25, 1865. Two 
 
 years later, Oct.. 1867, I took Horace 
 Greeley's advice, 'Go west, young man, 
 and grow up with the country. ' My 
 train came to a stop at Lawrence, Kansas, 
 I got off, took the stage 125 miles south- 
 east, bought land in what was then 
 known as the Cherokee strip, very well 
 watered and very fertile, with very few 
 settlers. Indians and buffalo were just 
 moving back' westward. I went into the 
 cattle business and have handled cattle 
 more or less ever since. It was hard 
 sledding the first few years, but I took a 
 partner in the form of a little Kansas 
 school-marm. Since then times have 
 been better. We have a family, three 
 sons and one daughter, all doing well. 
 Three live in the state, and one son is a 
 superintendent of manual training in 
 Detroit. Wife and I live on the old 
 homestead first taken, one mile out from 
 the city of Girard. Many thanks for the 
 BuLL,ETT!v. and for the little booklet 
 which I received."

 1876 Rev. George H. Cummings of 
 Thorndike, Mass., has four sons and one 
 daughter. All the sons are in military 
 service, three of them being Lieutenants. 
 
 1876 Hon. Webster Thayer, judge of 
 the Superior Court of Massachusetts, who 
 was ill for several months, is well again 
 and has returned to active work on the 
 bench. He has a son in the junior class 
 at the Academy. 
 
 1886 Mrs. S W. Boardman (Nellie 
 Thayer) writes Jan. 2, 1919: "You will 
 remember Mr. Irving T. Boardman, my 
 son, who called on you last summer and 
 applied for a position as teacher. Soon 
 after that he was called in the draft and 
 sent to Camp Upton, Long Island, N. Y. 
 While there he did considerable work at 
 the Y. M. C. A. in connection with the 
 chaplain and was in line for a promotion, 
 but the epidemic was raging in the camp 
 and proved fatal to him." 
 
 1887 Paul B. Morgan sailed in Dec- 
 ember on a business trip to Europe. He 
 has been active in raising war funds in 
 Worcester, and was also appointed to 
 serve as one of the three advisors to work 
 with the draft appeal board of Worcester. 
 
 1889 Rev. Edwin B. Dolan has left 
 the pastorate of the First Baptist Church 
 of Holyoke, Mass., after seven years of 
 service, his resignation taking effect 
 Sept. 30. The next day he became Gen- 
 eral Missionary to the Aided Churches of 
 the Mass. Baptist State Convention. He 
 has about 75 churches under his super- 
 vision and travels all over the state. As 
 a sample of his migratory powers he writes, 
 "Last night (Friday), I was in Williams- 
 town, Sunday, I shall be in Wales, and 
 the following Sunday in Nantucket." 
 He is living at 21 Lebanon Street, Win- 
 chester, and his office is at 708 Ford 
 Building, Boston. W^e hear that his 
 parishioners at Holyoke were "so glad" 
 to have him go that they gave him one 
 hundred dollars in gold to speed him on 
 his way. 
 
 1890 Albert E. Bailey's work as 
 educational director at the First Baptist 
 Church, Worcester, gave him the oppor- 
 tunity this Christmas to write a short 
 pageant-drama called, "The Shattering 
 of Thor. " It was presented very effec- 
 tively by his Bible School. The theme 
 was the transformation of the heathen 
 religion of the Northland into Christianity 
 and the final destruction of the heathen 
 spirit of war as typified in the over- 
 throw of the Kaiser. 
 
 Bailey is giving a course of twenty 
 lectures this winter at the Newton 
 Theological Institute on Sunday School 
 pedagogy; and he directs the Worcester 
 Community School of Religion, besides 
 teaching two courses in it each session. 
 
 1891 Mrs. Michael E. Fletcher of 
 109 Hutchison Street, Montreal, Canada, 
 replies to a query concerning her sons, 
 that the older, Durlin, who enlisted two 
 weeks after the war was declared, leaving 
 at the age of 18, his first year at Acadia 
 University, served as a stretcher bearer 
 until he was wounded, and then on re- 
 covery entered the Field Dressing Station 
 and worked up to be in charge of the 
 dispensary with his unit. He is now in 
 Germany with the rank of Sergt. The 
 younger son enlisted when he was 17 in 
 the Inf., but was transferred at his late 
 father's request to the Field Ambulance 
 in order to be with his brother. Last 
 Sept. he was wounded in the back, but 
 not seriously, as he had on four German 
 belts at the time. His mother expects 
 them home in March, and hopes they will 
 be able to return to school. 
 
 1892 Robert H. Fletcher is in the 
 Lancaster Hospital, Brookline, Mass. 
 He has had to give up all work but hopes 
 later to get out again, but only after a 
 ,ong treatment. 
 
 1892 Rev. Frank A. Lombard is 
 having this year his Sabbatical year from 
 his work on the faculty of the Doshisha 
 Univ., Kyoto, Japan. He is making his 
 headquarters at The Grafton, Newton 
 
76 
 
 WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 Center, Mass.. spending some time in 
 work in the libraries of Boston and 
 vicinity. He visited the Academy in 
 November. 
 
 1892 Cohi W. Meacham is with Sears, 
 Roebuck & Co., Chicago. His address 
 is 3830 Adams St. 
 
 1893 The indulgence of the Class of 
 1893 is again asked for a further post- 
 ponement of its quarter century statistics. 
 The great amount of matter concerning 
 military service had made it seem 
 advisable to omit them. It is hoped that 
 nothing will prevent their appearing in the 
 March issue. 
 
 1893 Roland R. Cutler writes on 
 Nov. 30 that he had been seriously ill with 
 nervous indigestion, but was beginning to 
 improve at the date of writing. 
 
 1893 Capt. Edwin P. Grosvenor was 
 married Oct. 29, to Miss Thelma Cudlip 
 of New York City, daughter of the late 
 Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Cudlip of Rich- 
 mond, Va. The ceremony was performed 
 at Wild Acres, Bethesda, Md., the 
 country home of the groom's brother, 
 Gilbert H. Grosvenor, '93. The bride 
 was given in marriage by ex-president 
 William H. Taft. Capt. Grosvenor is in 
 the Military Intelligence Bureau in 
 Washington. 
 
 1894 George C. Beals' address has 
 been changed to Room 77, Ecjuitable 
 Bldg., Boston, Mass. 
 
 1894 Rev. Carleton A. Burgess was 
 the preacher of the annual sermon at the 
 meeting of the Boston South Assoc, of 
 Baptist Churches held at Roxbury, Mass., 
 Sept. 25. His theme was "Co-operation 
 Necessary to Success in the Work of the 
 Kingdom." Mr. Burgess was elected 
 moderator of the Association for the 
 coming year. 
 
 1896 Horace M. Hovey is now at the 
 DeWitt Clinton High School, 59th St. 
 and 10th Avenue, N. Y. City. 
 
 1899 Ralph Abercrombie was married 
 Nov. 2 to Mrs. Elizabeth Giddings 
 Johnson, widow of Tristam B. Johnson, 
 
 '98. The wedding took place at the home 
 of the bride's father, Prof. Franklin H. 
 Giddings of Columbia University. Chap- 
 lain R. C. Knox of Columbia officiated. 
 The bridegroom was attended by his 
 brother, Daniel W. Abercrombie, Jr., '05, 
 and the bride by her little daughter, 
 Elizabeth Alden Johnson, as flower girl. 
 The couple are to live for the present at 
 202 West 74th Street, N. Y. City. 
 
 1899 Capt. Stanley B. Hall was 
 married last May to Miss Anna Bristol 
 of New York State. A few weeks after 
 Caj^t. Hall left with his company for 
 oversea service. 
 
 1899 Clark H. Miner left the United 
 States for China last April, in the interests 
 of the Western Electric Co., and has been 
 made the general manager of its represent- 
 ative company there, The China Electric 
 Co., Ltd. His residence is in Pekin, 
 China, 3, Shih Chia Hutung. 
 
 1899 Orville Barker Van Duser died 
 May 2, in Rochester, N. Y. He was sud- 
 denly taken very ill with pneumonia com- 
 plicated with peritonitis, while on a trip 
 as traveling salesman in his work, and 
 went directly to his brother's residence in 
 Rochester where he died after a week's 
 illness. The funeral services were held at 
 the hoine of his aunt in Newark, N. Y., 
 where formerly he had made his home for 
 many years. 
 
 He was born in Newark, N. Y.,in 1880, 
 the second son of S. B. Van Duser. He 
 was a cousin of Ralph E. Barker, '95 and 
 Merle T. Barker, '99, and through their 
 influence he entered W. A. in the fall of 
 1895. He remained here for three years, 
 rooming in Davis Hall. He went into 
 the dry goods business with his father at 
 Newark, and continued this association 
 for more than ten years. He then became 
 connected with the Syracuse (N. Y.) Dry 
 Goods Company, and represented them 
 in the northern part of the state. For the 
 past two years the family has lived in 
 Liverpool, N. Y., near Syracuse. He was 
 a member of the Official Board of the 
 
WORCESTER ACADEMY BULLETIN 
 
 77 
 
 Methodist Church there, and was also a 
 member of the Masonic fraternity and the 
 Sons of Veterans. 
 
 He was married July 5, 1905, to Miss 
 Louise Norris of Sodus, and she survives 
 him with three children, Norris aged 10, 
 Damon aged 8, and Ellen aged 6. He 
 visited the Academy a few years ago for 
 the first time since he was a pupil here, 
 and was much interested in noting the 
 changes that had taken place on the cam- 
 pus, and in recalling his old associates in 
 the Main Building, to whom the news of 
 his death will bring great sadness. The 
 words that have come to us "all that a 
 man should be," are what would be ex- 
 pected by those who knew the upright, 
 manly, and cheery fellow here in the 
 nineties. 
 
 1900 John Daniels resigned in Feb.,

 TOPICS OF THE YEAR 
 
 THE FALL'S ATHLETICS 
 
 At the opening of the iVcademj' in 
 September, there were high hopes of a 
 splendid season in the regular fall sports 
 despite the dampening effects of the 
 war and the entrance of many of the 
 older boj^s into the Students' Army 
 Training Corps connected with various 
 colleges. Training began at once and 
 schedules were arranged, but before any 
 of the games could be played off, the 
 influenza had made its appearance in 
 all parts of Massachusetts. As a result 
 of this epidemic, restrictions in travelling 
 ordered by the State Board of Health 
 upset the plans for interscholastic contests. 
 The football schedule especially suffered. 
 Games arranged with the Huntington 
 School and the Harvard Freshmen had 
 to be given up, and contests with neigh- 
 boring schools were substituted. Not 
 until the first of November did the plague 
 abate sufficiently to allow the final 
 games of the schedule to be played 
 according to the original arrangements. 
 The Academy was fortunate in having 
 the same coaches as during last year with 
 the exception of Mr. Charles Jones, 
 who is now engaged in war work in 
 France. Mr. Hazclton and Mr. Dele- 
 hanty were in charge of football, Mr. 
 Johnstone of cross country, and Mr. 
 Beazley of soccer. 
 
 A review of the season's sports follows : 
 
 Football 
 
 It was difficult for the fellows to keep 
 up the daily grind of football practice 
 on Gaskill Field for a month with no 
 interscholastic contest to test their 
 progress. The first game took place 
 on October 19 against South High of 
 Worcester. Springfield Y. M. C. A. 
 College and Andover defeated the Acad- 
 emy, but these losses were forgotten in 
 the final game of the season, the victory 
 
 over Williston. Great credit is due to 
 Captain H. Cousens, S. A. Vose, and 
 L. Sullivan for their work during the 
 season. Not only were these three plaj^- 
 ers responsible for much of the success of 
 the team, but they played with such 
 sportsmanship that it would be hard to 
 find a team with a cleaner record in this 
 respect in the history of the school. 
 
 The following players received the 
 "W": Milton E. Carroll, '19, New Bed- 
 ford; Edwin A. Cole, Jr., '19, Housa- 
 tonic; Harold F. Cousens, (Capt.) '21, 
 Arlington; George A. Crawley, '21, Hart- 
 ford, Ct.; Harlan Feuille, '19, Panama; 
 William F. Hight, '22, Bangor, Me.; 
 George R. Johnson (Mgr.), '19, Hart- 
 ford, Ct.; Ebenezer B. King, '20, Pea- 
 body; John H. Lee, 2nd, '20, Brighton; 
 Bernhard Simmons, '20, Worcester; Law- 
 rence J. Sullivan, '20, New Bedford; Gor- 
 don S. Swift, '21, New Haven, Ct.; 
 Latham C. Strong, '21, Haverhill; James 
 E. Turner, '20, Smyrna, Del.; Stanley 
 A. Vose, '21, Cumberland Hill, R. I.; 
 Charles C. Wotton, '21, Rockland, Me. 
 
 The following games were played :

 Nov. 6 Wor. Trade School home 56 
 Nov. 9 Gushing away 21 
 
 Nov. 16 Williston home 27 14 
 
 Soccer 
 
 During the first month of the fall term 
 about twenty fellows answered the call 
 of Capt. Hecht as candidates for the 
 soccer team. Because of the absence of 
 Mr. Jones, Mr. Beazley took charge of the 
 coaching, assisted occasionally by Mr. 
 Delahanty. The first two soccer games 
 were defeats for the Academy, but at the 
 beginning of November the effect of in-

 structiou in team work began to appear. 
 Andover and Williston were both de- 
 feated, and by this latter victory the 
 Academy won the New England pre- 
 paratory school championship in soccer. 
 Captain Hecht, Ferd. de la Macorra, 
 and R. Sullivan did great work for 
 Worcester throughout the season. 
 The following games were played :

 Spaulding, '20, Ardmore, Pa.; Silas E. 
 Hamilton (Mgr.,), '19, Dummerston, Vt. 
 
 Cross Country 
 The season in cross country was con- 
 fined wholly to contests between the dif- 
 ferent classes of the school. Had the 
 meets arranged for been run, it is prob- 
 able that the Academy would have won 
 distinction against Wakefield High, Wil- 
 braham, Andover, and Williston. None 
 of these meets took place, and the fellows 
 had to content themselves with the an- 
 nual cross country run, held Saturday, 
 November 23. The first ten to finish 
 were given class numerals. These were, 
 in order: Hazard, '22, Ferd. de la Macorra, 
 '20, W^etherbee, '22, Zegri, '20, Persons, 
 '21, Armengol, '22, I. de Martino, '21, 
 Roig, '20, Fran, de la Macorra, '21, 
 Fraser, '20. 
 
 The account of this fall's athletics 
 would not be complete without some 
 reference to the trip made by Mr. Hazel- 
 ton to Annapolis, where he saw the foot- 
 ball game between the Navy and the 
 Great Lakes Training School. It was in 
 recognition of Mr. Hazelton's splendid 
 work for the school during a season 
 filled with anxiety and disappointment, 
 and marred by cancelled games and sick 
 players, that the student body and 
 faculty sent him to .Annapolis. W.H.F.
