HERBERT WINDSOR MUMFORD, 1891 



It is something more than a duty, this custom of remembering 

 those whose race is run or whose life has prematurely gone out. 

 Every loyal alumnus of our College feels that in setting aside a 

 few minutes on the program we are giving but scant recognition 

 to those who were once active among us. We are happy in our 

 renewal of old associations and yet there is scarcely one of us 

 who does not feel that something or someone is lacking to make 

 our joy complete. To some who have, because of special ties 

 of friendship or relationship, been especially bereaved, we, as 

 alumni and brothers, extend our most cordial sympathy, and 

 trust that this part of our program will recall sweet memories 

 of those we loved. 



[Following this Professor Mumford spoke briefly of the life 

 and work of each of the alumni who had died during the pre- 

 ceding four years. The list of those of whose death he had 

 learned, together with the date, with the class to which each 

 belonged, and with the place and date of death, as far as learned,
