Hapgood, the son of Andrew Sidney and Annie ( Winter ) Hap- good), was born July 22, 1874, at Gloucester, Massachusetts. He prepared at the Chauncy Hall School in Boston. He received his A.B. after four years with our Class, and was granted an M.D. in 1901 by the Harvard Medical School. He married Clara Gertrude Locke, April 2, 1902, in Boston. Their son, Richard Locke, was born August 18, 1903. Richard, a member of the Harvard Class of 1925, was inducted in June, 1942, and discharged in October, 1945, as a master sergeant. He served for one year as chief clerk, Operations Analysis Section (research section), Fourteenth Air Force, Kunming, China, and previously as sergeant-major of an airborne engineer battalion, and as interviewer at a recruit recep- tion center. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal by the Four- teenth Air Force for meritorious service in connection with mili- tary operations against the enemy.

CHARLES HENRY HARDWICK
s my family and relatives had various business and real estate A interests," writes Hardwick, "I realized that a legal training would be a great help to them all. I felt that I should enter a law school at once upon graduation from Harvard, but my father
285
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY REPORT
wished me to familiarize myself with his main business interests first. And so for four years I had charge of real estate and learned, sometimes through mistakes, how to succeed at it. I also learned a great deal about the famous Quincy granite, the quarrying, cutting, and polishing plants having been in our family since my grandfather's time. During this period I was doing my full share in church, civic, and social activities.
"In 1901 I entered the Boston University Law School, and graduated in 1904 with several degrees (LL.B., J.B. summa cum laude, J.M.). I was very thankful that my father had insisted upon my studying his business first, for in six years he died and most of his business burdens were on my shoulders.
"My life has been a very busy one, for in addition to caring for my family's interests and my own, I have looked after the real estate and business interests of many of my relatives and clients, appreciating the opportunity to show my gratitude in a substan- tial manner for the many kindnesses done me in my early years when heartfelt thanks were all their reward.
"I have always felt deep gratitude to God that I was born in the most wonderful country in the world, and in the best part of it, and that my parents and many dear relatives were God-fearing people who took life seriously, feeling that no one had a right to waste God's gifts. They made me realize from early childhood that everything in nature had its place and meaning, and that sensible people worked with God's laws and not against them. One of my kind, wise, and unusually well-educated aunts, Caro- line L. Rideout, took me into her private school in Boston, where she prepared boys for college. By giving me tutors she enabled me, by hard work, to do nearly two years' work in a few months and to enter Harvard at the age most boys did, notwithstanding the serious loss of schooling I had suffered by reason of a broken leg and many sicknesses of my own or of my brothers and sisters.
"Another wonderful aunt, Elizabeth Hardwick Alden, taught me in the church school and inspired me to look for, and get, the good out of all weathers, people, and conditions.
"I have received a vast deal of satisfaction and happiness in giving of my business and legal ability, not only to relatives and
286
HARVARD CLASS OF 1897
clients, but in church and civic activities. As a member of the Bethany Congregational Church of Quincy, Massachusetts, I have served for years in many capacities such as deacon, teacher in the church school, head usher, and member of many committees. In order to fit myself to be as good a teacher as possible, I went to University Extension courses two nights a week for several years.
"As my two doctor brothers - Captain Everett Vinton Hard- wick, Dartmouth College, Harvard Medical School, 1900, Medi- cal Corps, World War I; and Major Sydney Curtis Hardwick, Tufts College Medical School, Regimental Surgeon of the 104th Infantry, 26th Division, Yankee Division, World War I - had volunteered and were serving our country in World War I, and as my widowed mother, our family interests, and those of many others, including my own, urgently required my help here at home, I did what I could in the war effort here, such as serving on the Legal Advisory Board.
"To keep fit under the heavy load I was carrying, I played as hard as I worked, motoring with my mother to many places, golfing, doing club work, and especially climbing mountains and taking long walks in many parts of this country and Canada, both summer and winter, with the Appalachian Club, the Adirondack Club, and the Green Mountain Club. I was a member of all of them.
"My club memberships included the Quincy Pickwick Club, the Quincy Historical Society, Massachusetts Audubon Society, several golf clubs, business associations, school groups, and others.
"Late in 1929 I gave up the granite business, but my other work had so increased that I was just as busy as ever.
"God blessed me with kind and wise parents and the best of relatives, and gave me a good start in life. In my work and play I have tried to show my gratitude to Him by making the lives of those I have come in contact with a little better, a little easier and happier. For the last ten years or so I have had to ease up in my work and exercise lightly.
"My activities have been enjoyable and interesting, and while not spectacular, I have accomplished a lot, not so much in a financial way, for that was not my object. My years at Harvard
287
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY REPORT
were years of hard work and little social life, for I was desirous of doing my share in the world, of being well fitted to do it, and of getting an early start. As I look back over the years, I am well satisfied, for although I have sacrificed my own interests innumer- able times, I know of no one who has had a happier life."
Hardwick was born October 4, 1875, at Quincy, Massachusetts, the son of Henry Everett and Minnie Mirick (Rideout) Hard- wick. He was with our Class four years and received his A.B. with distinction. He is unmarried.
+ CHARLES ASHLEY HARDY
C HARLES ASHLEY HARDY died November 30, 1929, at Chatham, Massachusetts, while on a hunting trip. He was born No- vember 6, 1874, at Norwich, Connecticut, the son of Edward Eldredge and Elizabeth (Bates) Hardy, and came to Harvard from Hopkinson's School. His interest in hunting was apparent during his undergraduate days, when he was captain of the shooting team, and when he spent two winter months in Colorado with the famous hunters, Wells and Patterson. This trip was recorded in pictures by a photographer who accompanied the hunters, making some of the earliest contributions to big game photography. He took an A.B. with the Class and in 1904 received an S.B. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the interval between these two dates, he participated in Boston busi- ness affairs, being one of the incorporators and original officers of the Pureoxia Company. He also explored and investigated Alaskan coal fields under the employ of General Charles J. Paine, and spent some time on the Arctic Ocean.
His thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pre- sented jointly with George Harrington, received so much attention that they were both sent to Sonora County, Mexico, by New York financial interests, as mining engineers. On the completion of this enterprise, they formed the company of Moody, Hardy, & Harring- ton, mining engineers. Their travels gave to Mrs. Hardy the dis- tinction of being the first woman who had ever crossed the Sierra Madre Mountains on horseback. When the firm was dissolved,

Hardy remained in Mexico, where he owned and operated a large cattle ranch until the revolution under Villa brought this chapter of his life to a close. During the entire period of his residence in Mexico, he served as consular agent of the United States in Sonora County.
After his return to the United States, Hardy concentrated on agriculture on Cape Cod and the development of Chatham as a resort. He had many real estate interests there, including the Chatham Bars Inn. These properties were combined in a real estate trust called Chatham Associated, of which he was managing trustee. He also supervised personally the building of Eastward Ho!, an eighteen-hole golf course at Chatham. At the time of his death he was a member of Drysdale & Company, a firm of New York brokers.
Besides taking an active part in his various business interests, Hardy found time to maintain memberships in societies in all parts of the world and to give his support to the fine arts. To all his activities he brought wisdom, vision, energy, and the courage of a pioneer.
He was survived by his wife, the former Alice Eliza Adams, whom he married at Newton, Massachusetts, on May 3, 1899, and three children - Virginia (Mrs. Nevett S. Bartow, Jr.), born April 19, 1902; Alison, born February 25, 1909; and Charles Ashley, Jr., born January 25, 1910. A second son, Edward Eldredge, 2d, who was born January 15, 1900, died in 1917.
* CHARLES CONANT HARRIMAN
CF IHARLES CONANT HARRIMAN died at Deerfield, Massachusetts, on July 28, 1946.

For our Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Report, Harriman wrote:
289
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY REPORT
"The years which have elapsed since 1897 have been busy and happy ones. Most of them have been spent in the active ministry of the Episcopal Church, first as curate at St. George's Church, Manhattan, New York City, then as rector of St. Peter's Church, Albany, New York. The work here in Albany has necessarily been one of reconstruction · · · securing funds with which to build a new parish house, to put the physical plant in shape, and to raise an endowment of $3,000,000." He was made a trustee of the dio- cese, a member of the Board of Missions, and a member of the Committee on State of Church.
Our classmate, Dean Fosbroke, of the General Theological Seminary in New York, wrote of him: "He was held in great esteem by his people and played a very considerable part in the Diocese, as is shown by the positions he held as President of the Standing Committee and Archdeacon of Albany. He also took a great in- terest in civic affairs as became a man whose parish included many of the influential people of the City." At the time of his death, he was rector, emeritus, of St. Peter's.
"Servant of God, well done; well hast thou fought the better fight."
Harriman was twice married: to Edith Lee Wells, at New York City, on November 21, 1908 (died December 13, 1911), and to Mary Hilliard Phillips, at Framingham, Massachusetts, on January 18, 1916. He had two daughters: Florence Conant (Mrs. Hans Thorner ), born November 21, 1909, and Mary ( Mrs. Mary Harri- man Drexler ), born December 13, 1911, at whose Deerfield home he died. .
Mrs. Harriman and his two children survived him.

ALBERT DEMPSEY HARTLEY
I WAS born in East Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, January 26, 1868," writes Hartley, the son of Isiah Linton and Mary Elliott (Rankin) Hartley. "When I was seventeen years old my family moved to Camden, New Jersey, where I attended the E. A. Stephens School. After completing the course there, I entered the State Normal School in West Chester, Pennsylvania, from which I was graduated in 1892 with a B.E. degree. I then entered Haverford College and was graduated in 1896 with the degree of S.B.
"During the year 1896-1897, I studied advanced work at Har- vard University - thus the Class of 1897. My work was in mathe-
292
HARVARD CLASS OF 1897
matics and science. I took postgraduate work in 1897-1898 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. In September, 1898, I began teaching as principal of the Yardley Schools. Then I taught mathematics and history in Juniata College in Pennsyl- vania, and later in the Howe Industrial School in Eldora, Iowa.
"After coming East, I taught mathematics and history in Her- bertsville, New Jersey, from 1905 to 1908. I then entered the High School in New Brunswick, New Jersey, as head of the Department of Mathematics.
"Next I became interested in fruit growing and bought my present farm. In September, 1918, after getting the fruit trees growing, which gave me vacation interests, I took a position as mathematics teacher in the Chester High School. I retired from this position in June, 1930, thus completing thirty years of teaching.
"Since retiring I have not only managed my fruit farm, but I have been interested in civic affairs in our community and county, and have tutored many high school students in mathematics and sciences.
"I am well and have good eyesight, hence I do much reading."
Hartley married Ella Selecta Eisenberg, June 28, 1898, at Parker- ford, Pennsylvania.

* EDWARD SPARHAWK HATCH
E DWARD SPARHAWK HATCH died October 20, 1937, at New Or- leans, Louisiana, where he had been a prominent orthopedic surgeon. Born February 2, 1875, at Brighton, Massachusetts, he was the son of Monroe Wilson and Rhoda Jane (Sparhawk ) Hatch. He prepared at the English High School, Boston, and remained two years in college before going to the Medical School, from which he was graduated in 1899. Until 1906 he was at the Carney Hospital and engaged in private practice in Boston. He then moved to New Orleans, where he received an appointment to the Touro Infirmary, of which he was later chief orthopedic surgeon. He also became professor of orthopedics at Tulane University, orthopedic consulting surgeon to the New Orleans Dispensary for Women and Children and to Marine Hospital No. 14, and,, during the first World War, contract surgeon at New Orleans and at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. He was a member of the Orleans Parish and Louisiana State Medical Societies, the Central States Orthopedic Club, and the American College of Surgeons. In spite of the many duties devolving upon him through his position of leadership in his profession, he found time to devote part of his skill to charity practice, both institutional and private.
On January 16, 1900, at Everett, Massachusetts, he married Blanche Adele Baxter. Their children were Frances Evelyn (Mrs. Benjamin Hugh Sanford), born October 31, 1900; Marion, born December 23, 1901, (died December 24, 1901); Monroe Wilson (married Lula Brown), born May 25, 1904. Two children and his second wife, the former Bertha Ward, survived him.
GEORGE ADELBERT HATHAWAY
I' T is just possible," writes Hathaway, "that this is a valedictory report, so it had better be comprehensive. I wish to pay tribute to the elective system in operation during my college life. It is not so important that right choices be made as that the student knows he is free to make them. If individualism is not to be rooted during a college career, pray when is it to be?
294
HARVARD CLASS OF 1897
"To be sure, not having concentrated on a particular subject during college, I was rather obliged to use my general knowledge by teaching in a high school after graduation. My religious an- cestry, however, became dominant and I became a Unitarian minister. I would still be in my first pastorate, where I was suc- cessful, but for what I must think was false missionary zeal of others in sending me to a field unsuited for the Unitarian message.
"This misfortune produced a happy ending, however, and for many years I have been assisting those who illuminate sacred texts by making the vellum desirable for this work. No one else in this country so far as I know has been interested in doing this.
"In my spare time I have done a very great amount of archaeo- logical research, and have material ready for several books. The history of the use of vellum may constitute one of these. The use of purple vellum for correspondence by the Byzantine emperors is worth noting.
"I attribute my great happiness first to my experience at Har- vard, and secondly to many understanding, loyal acquaintances. I pay homage to a devoted wife, a Radcliffe graduate."
Hathaway was born June 8, 1876, at Berkeley, Massachusetts, the son of Charles Augustus and Charlotte Content ( Field) Hath- away. He married Winifred H. Phillips, December 29, 1904, at New York City. He was in college from 1893 to 1898, receiving his A.B. cum laude in the latter year. During 1903-1904, he studied at the Divinity School.

Since then I have been engaged in the private practice of law.
"For sixteen years I have acted as examiner for the Girl Scouts who qualified for their merit badge for music. I have also selected songs and trained the Girl Scouts in contests for the prize cup in singing. The permanent possession of the cup was won by the troop of which I was councillor.
"In 1898 I moved to 337 W. 76th Street, New York 23, where I still live with my sister, Mary P. Hayden. At present I am inactive, do not attend court, and do only trust and advisory investment work."
