Charles R. Giddings '87, of Beverly, was drowned in Lake Winnepesankee on the seventeenth of August. In company with a friend he had taken a number of poor boys from Boston to camp out on the lake. While on a steamer excursion, one of the boys fell overboard. Without hesitation Giddings plunged in to save him, but the boy pulled him down, and help was too late to be of any use.
In college, Giddings was known as a remarkably bright man and received a "magna cum" at commencement. He graduated from the Law School in '90, and received an A. M. in addition to his law degree. Since then he had been associated with R. W. Boyden '85, in a law office in Boston.
