This, coupled with the somewhat obstinate silence of a por- tion of the Class, has delayed the publication of this book greatly. Acknowledgments are due Staige Davis for his kindness in lending photographs of reunion scenes; to C. S. Stephenson for assisting the Secretary to obtain pictures of deceased members of the Class, and finally to Roe for his interesting article on Sheff . The Secretary also wishes to make acknowl- edgment of his indebtedness to Mr. Edwin Rogers Embree, director of the Class Secretaries Bureau, for most valuable advice and assistance in compiling and printing this Record. This book is largely modeled on the Decennial Report of Hollister Robinson, and to him the Secretary extends his thanks for supplying so excellent an example of what a Class book should be. In committing this Quindecennial Report to your critical eyes the Secretary hopes that, whether it give pleasure or not, he may be justified in believing that it has at least done something to keep alive the interest of the men in each other, in Sheff and in the University.

Until his eighth year he lived with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Post, of Sandusky, Ohio, his father having died when he was but five months old. He then resided with his uncle, Gen. M. D.

Rockwell, '96, a schoolmate of Brownell and associated with him in the Phinotas Chemical Company, writes : "Brownell had not been feeling well for a long time, but was able to be about and his condition was not regarded as serious. News of his death came very suddenly, so sud- denly in fact, that his friends were not able to reach his bedside in time. He was very successful in business and at the time of his death was earning around $10,000 a year, besides carrying a life insurance of $60,000. During the greater part of the time he was also the entire support of 22 BIOGRAPHIES his immediate relatives. Since leaving college, Brownell was so busily engaged in work that he did not keep up the acquaintance with his old friends, but in college was well known and well liked and had a host of the warmest friends, as doubtless you remember. His duties confined him very closely at the start, and undoubtedly undermined his health and were responsible for the crash that came later. He was known to all his friends as generous and considerate to the highest degree, and his death is a very severe loss to us all." Robert Carmichael Burchard Address, Montville, Conn.

Taking up his residence in Munich, Ger- many, in November, 1895, he settled down to learn the Ger- man language, which he acquired in a few months. He then proceeded to Paris, and while there, in company with his par- ents and sister, fell in with the little American colony of Yale men and others who were pursuing the study of architecture, and residing in the Quartier Latin. He became enthusiastic- ally interested in the work and soon decided to become an architect. After about six months' study of French and architecture, he so mastered the rudiments of that science as to attempt the semi-annual examinations, largely oral, for the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He was advised to take this step for the sake of the experience, but was warned that it was impossible for him to pass after so short a course of study. Much to the surprise of all, even of his friends, he was one of the fifty successful aspirants out of a class of four hundred and fifty, many of whom had been studying for years and had essayed examinations a number of times. More than this, he carried off the third highest mark in the important subject of free-hand drawing, and immediately took his place as a student of the highest promise. This good work he kept up after his entry into the school, receiving a number of medals and other honors during his four years in Paris. "He returned home a number of times during the summer vacations of the school, spending these periods invariably with his parents. During the last spring of his life and when his work was nearly completed, he made a trip, in company with his roommate, George Chappell, '99, to some of the prin- cipal cities of Italy for the purpose of studying the archi- tectural monuments of that country. It was somewhere about this time that he began to develop the very virulent lung trouble, which afterward resulted in his death. He came OF GRADUATES 61 to this country in September, 1901, and after several weeks at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, during which he appeared to gain somewhat in strength, he was taken to Phoenix, Ariz. But in spite of the most favorable conditions, he began to fail about a month after his arrival at that place, and passed quietly and painlessly away on December 10, 1901, without apparently having realized at any time the approaching fatal termination of his malady."

I was connected with the Indiana Oalitis Limestone Company for five years, as timekeeper and bookkeeper and finally as superintendent. The years of 1897 and 1898 were disastrous ones, as you all know, and our quarry shut down. Not wishing to remain idly watching the plant, I decided to enter the United States mail service, which I did in 1898, having passed an examina- tion, grade of 92.3. In 1899 I was transferred to Toledo, Ohio, my run being from Toledo, Ohio, to St. Louis, Mo., over the Wabash Railroad. I have covered about 285,000 miles to date. Am a Mason and Knight of Pythias." Frank Raymond Stoller Business Address, 406 Fidelity Trust Building, Kansas City, Mo. Residence, 2615 Victor Street, Kansas City, Mo. Frank Raymond Stoller was born April 9, 1871, in Everett, Mo., son of John R. Stoller, formerly a ranch owner and live stock commission merchant, president of the Stoller Live Stock Commission Company, born about 1840, near Gallion, Ohio. His mother, Lucretia M. (Miner) Stoller, was born in 1843 near Gallion, Ohio. OF NON-GRADUATES 161 He prepared at Steele & Price's Preparatory School, Kansas City, Mo., and left college at the end of the first year, having passed all examinations. In college he was a member of the Ath- letic Team. He was married March 31, 18Q6, in Kansas City, Mo., to Miss Laura Drennon, daughter of Robert H. Drennon, of Kansas City. They have two children: Raymond W., born December 4, 18Q6, and Frank Drennon, born June 21, 1905. Stoller is in the insurance business, as solicitor with T. H. Mastin & Company. He writes : "I learned, on returning from my first year at Yale, that father had lost his ranch in New Mexico on account of an extended drought and after turning over all his property was still $33,000 in debt. I was familiar with the commission business, so I decided to abandon my college career and joined with him in the business, assuming the $33,000 indebtedness. Naturally our credit was good and we were able to build up a splendid business, in spite of the failure. We paid interest on the indebtedness and reduced the principal slowly. "At the time of father's death we had the business well established and it continued to grow, ranking sixteenth in volume of business with about eighty firms in competition. In the panic of 1907, the bank we were doing business with closed its doors, and, as we still owed the bank some money, there was no way to continue, so I sold the business for what was against it and got out without owing any money. "The business experience I got at the stockyards was of value to me later, when I went into the insurance business. Since January 1, 1911, I have written nearly one and one half million dollars' worth of insurance, which they tell me is very good, and I have already had several flattering offers from other companies. In this line of business, if I am suc- cessful, I should eventually drift back East and hope to see dear old Yale again before many years." 162 BIOGRAPHIES To refresh the minds of the graduates of '95 S. about those members of the Class who left before graduation the following has been taken largely from the Senior Class Book published in June, 1895.

Both the undergraduate departments have Senior Councils which are giving effective expression to public opinion. The Sheffield Senior Council brought forward the suggestion that two of the manager- ships of the major athletics be given to Sheff. After vigor- ous discussion the matter was put to vote at a university mass meeting attended by about 2,000 men. The specific amendment offered was defeated by 936 for to 789 against, a two-thirds vote being necessary for amendment. This result was perhaps the best on the whole. It was shown that a fair majority of the university are in favor of more equal representations in university affairs, and though this specific proposition was defeated the general principle is sure to reappear in some other and perhaps more desirable form. Sheff men are already represented on the Junior and Senior Prom Committees. The News, Record and Courant boards, the musical clubs, etc., are open to Sheff men on about the same basis as in our time. The recent discussions, while hot, have on the whole been very good-tempered and are incidents in the normal and healthy growth of the new university spirit. JOSEPH W. ROE.
