Whereas, We remember his refined tastes, frank character, and his genial disposition; his knowledge of men and the public spirit which made him prominent in the councils of the class:

LAST Monday week JOSHUA STETSON, of the Class of '77, died in Naples, Italy, of typhoid-fever.

His constitution, at no time strong, suffered from a severe illness at the end of his Senior year. Soon after graduating he went to Europe, and, after a few months spent in a partially successful attempt to recover his health, he studied in Paris and Dresden, applying himself to that which he thought would be of most assistance to him in his intended journalistic career, and was still pursuing those studies at the time of his death.

A an undergraduate, he took the liveliest interest in class and college affairs. He was President of the Board of Editors of the Crimson, and in that capacity instituted many improvements in the management of the paper. Shortly before his connection with the Crimson ceased, he was elected an editor of the Lampoon, and retained that position while in college. He was President of the "O. K.," and was one of its most active members, and he held other prominent positions in the class.

He was unusually clear headed for one of his age, and his sound judgment, unbiassed by those things which usually influence young men, was of great service to himself and to those associated with him. He was a true, steadfast friend, and the memory of his kind, honest heart will not soon be lost.

'77.
