NEWTON STONE FULLER. 
Newton Stone Fuller, son of Leonard F. and Mary I. (Hunt) 
Fuller, was born February 9, 1860, in Providence, R. I. His 
preparation for college was made in the High School of his native 
city, and he graduated from Brown University in 1882. He 
taught in Colby Academy, at New London, N. H., for a year 
after his graduation, and in a private academy at Poughkeepsie, 
N. Y., during the second year. In 1884 he was elected Profes¬ 
sor of Latin in Ripon College, which position he occupied for 
ten years, resigning it in 1894 on account of his health which 
had been such as to require his absence in Colorado during the 
preceding year. He died of consumption at Colorado Springs, 
May 8, 1895. He married, June 29, 1886, Miss Harriet Peirce 
who, with their two daughters, survives him. 
Professor Fuller’s first years in Wisconsin were so fully occu¬ 
pied by the immediate duties of the position to which he had 
been called at an early age that he had little opportunity for 
other work; so that, although he had previously attended one 
or more meetings of the Academy, he became a member only 
two years before his failing health forbade further efforts; and 
therefore the fidelity which was the marked characteristic of his 
life was little known beyond the narrow circle of his intimate 
associates, who have placed on record their testimony that "as 
a man of scholarship, strong character, cultivated tastes, skill 
in instruction, gentleness combined with firmness, and steadfast 
devotion to duty, he made himself a place of usefulness and 
effective service rarely surpassed.”
