graduated, standing ninth in a class of sixty-two members. He was sent 

 to sea, and while a midshipman performed duty on the Alabama, Eagle, and 

 Dixie. On February 1, 1906, he was appointed an ensign, and until August 

 25, 1906, continued his sea duty. On that date he was assigned to duty 

 in the construction corps of the navy, and in the fall commenced the usual 

 graduate course for members of that corps at the Massachusetts Institute of 

 Technology. He completed this course on May 15, 1909, and upon gradua- 

 tion was assigned to duty at the navy yard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. 



While on duty at Portsmouth he took a great interest in all matters 

 having to do with the scientific study of shop management and contributed 

 a number of articles on this subject to the technical and scientific press. 



After three years in Portsmouth he was taken seriously ill with tubercu- 

 losis, but in a six months' sick-leave apparently completely recovered his 

 health. 



He was then given temporary duty as inspector of hull material for 

 the United States Navy in Pittsburgh, in which position his work was of 

 great value to the Navy Department. After seven months he was trans- 

 ferred to Long Beach, Cal., as superintending constructor for sub- 

 marines building at the works of the Craig Shipbuilding Company. 



After less than a year in this position the old tubercular trouble returned, 

 this time so seriously that he was with difficulty transferred to the hospital 

 at Las Animas. There he remained until the time of his death on March 

 10, 1915. 



Throughout his life, both personal and official. Assistant Naval Con- 

 structor Harrington followed the highest ideals. He was energetic and 

 imbued with a high sense of duty. Should his life have run the normal 

 term he would undoubtedly have made a most enviable name for himself.
