The CRIMSON publishes the following notice of the death of W. D. Boardman '92 at the request of the Class Committee of '92:

William Dorr Boardman '92 died on September 4, 1896, from typhoid pneumonia, at Kissingen, Germany.

Boardman prepared for college at the Hill School, Pottstown, Pa., entering Harvard in the Fall of '88. He led an active life throughout his course and was identified with many interests. In scholarship he devoted himself especially to natural history, English and fine arts, and upon graduating he received his degree magnum cum laude. He was a member of the Institute of 1770 and the Hasty Pudding Club.

After graduating he spent one year at the University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany. The next two years he spent at Harvard, taking his degree of A. M., and studying the languages and the fine arts. Last winter he spent in Florence, living in an Italian family, in order to learn Italian more thoroughly. He was studying the fine arts with particular reference to the Art and Literature of the Renaissance. He had planned to go back again to Florence this year and to continue his studies with a view of eventually becoming a teacher in his chosen subject. Last summer he spent in Venice and in travelling in Austria. Later he went to Kissengen, where his mother, who was his only surviving parent, was with him when he died.

In behalf of the class we offer to his mother our heartiest sympathies in her great loss, and the assurances that we join with her in mourning the death of her son.
