272 Obituary Notices of Fellows deceased. 



Hayward's interests, however, were not confined to science and 

 scholarship. While at Harrow he devoted a great deal of time to 

 local affairs, and for seventeen consecutive years held the position of 

 Chairman of the Harrow Local Board. During the last ten years of 

 his life his residence was at Shanklin, Isle of Wight, where his interest 

 in the general well-being again found scope. He served for a term on 

 the Shanklin District Council, and his great knowledge was placed at 

 the service of the town at an important juncture in its history ; the 

 Council was faced with a difficulty about the water supply, and 

 Hayward took an active part in the efforts then made, which secured 

 for the town an ample and wholesome service. 



He was an enthusiast for preserving beautiful spots for the public, 

 and, about a year ago, when the undercliff near Shanklin was 

 threatened, he worked hard, and successfully, to preserve it. He also 

 took an active interest in schemes for Technical Education, and in the 

 Free Library movement and its relation to the educational advance- 

 ment of the country. He was a member of the Executive of the 

 Churchmen's Guild for Shanklin, and on January 23, only nine days 

 before his death, he took a prominent part in a discussion on the 

 Public House Trust Scheme. 



Hayward was fortunate throughout his life in the enjoyment of 

 the best of health. He was a man of very even temper, and of a most 

 kindly disposition, and he always had a large circle of friends and 

 acquaintances. 



His death was painfully sudden. He attended the funeral of his 

 friend and brother-in-law, Dr. H. W. Watson, who died on January 11, 

 and it was noticed by several of those present that he had the 

 appearance of excellent health. On January 25 he was taken seriously 

 ill, and although there was a partial recovery during the week, he 

 became much worse on the following Sunday, and died the next day.
