the average young man of true Christian character can gain a thorough profes- sional training if he will use the necessary self-denial and enterprise. The marked qualities of Mr. Blanchard's character were his modesty, gentleness, and unflinching fidelity. He was uniformly cheerful, and never censorious nor unforgiving. He had learned the art of true living. He did his work cheerfully and well. He bore his sufferings with patience and Christian hope. His was a gracious spirit, 'fit for the Master's use.'"
He died of stricture of the intestines, at Los Angeles, Cal., August 6, 1895, aged thirty-six years, three months, and twenty-two days. He was never married.

OLASS OF 1837.
Daniel Bates Woods.
Son of Rev. Leonard Woods, D.D. (professor in Andover Seminary thirty- eight years), and Abigail Wheeler ; born in Andover, September 20, 1809; pre- pared for college in Phillips Academy, Andover; studied three years in Am- herst College, and graduated at Union College, 1833; took the full course in this Seminary, 1834-37 ; licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meet- ing with Prof. Ralph Emerson, D.D., Andover, April 11, 1837. He was or- dained, September 19, 1839, and was pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Spring- water, N. Y., 1839-41; taught schools for young ladies in Virginia, first at Prince Edward Court House, then at Appomattox Church, preaching as a labor of love at those places, alternating also at Cumberland Church, 1841-44; his voice failing, he abandoned preaching, but continued teaching, in Philadelphia, 1844-49, Cincinnati, 1852-55, and for a few years at St. Louis. His home re- mained in the latter city, and he had been an invalid for several years before his death.
Mr. Woods was the last survivor but one of the ten children of Dr. Leonard Woods. He published on his return from a sojourn in California, 1849-51, Sixteen Months in the Gold Diggings. A notice in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says : "He came to St. Louis in 1855 and established a large seminary at Eighth and Olive Streets, where the daughters of many prominent people of the city, State, and various portions of the South were educated. The sincere piety and humble sincerity of Mr. Woods's character endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, and many a matron of today who received her edu- cational instruction at his hands will learn with deep regret of the death of her old tutor."
Mr. Woods was married, January 1, 1839, to Hannah Elizabeth Pierce, of Boston, daughter of Parker H. Pierce (captain of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery) and Hannah Withington. She survives him, with two sons, who are in business at St. Louis, and three daughters; one son and one daughter are deceased.
Mr. Woods died of angina pectoris, at St. Louis, Mo., May 30, 1892, aged eighty-two years, eight months, and ten days.

CLASS OF 1841.
Henry Kingsley.
Son of Chester Kingsley and Rhoda Weeks; born in Canajohairie, N. Y., November 3, 1809; prepared for college at Burr Seminary, Manchester, Vt .; graduated at Middlebury College, 1838; took the full course in this Seminary, 1838-41; licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. Samuel C. Jackson, Andover, April 13, 1841. He was not ordained, but preached at Sudbury, Vt., 1841-42, did home missionary work in Indiana in 1844, and preached at Clarendon, Vt., in 1845. In 1846 he settled in Brandon, Vt., and was in the book business there until 1856; then removed to Middle- bury, Vt., and practiced dentistry until 1876, afterwards living on a farm.
Rev. Albert W. Dickens, pastor of the Congregational Church at Middle- bury, of which Mr. Kingsley was a member, writes : "Although I saw little of him, I was deeply impressed by his exceeding cheerfulness of spirit. He was almost totally blind when I knew him, scarcely able to detect a glimmer of light, and yet bright and happy, far beyond most men of his age. This natural disposition of course affected his ideas of religion, which were decidedly hope- ful and inspiring. "
Mr. Kingsley was twice married, first, December 15, 1841, to Anna C. Janes, and second, February 12, 1866, to Mary Hull Gibb; he had four sons and six daughters ; two sons and two daughters are deceased.
Mr. Kingsley died of old age and general debility, at Middlebury, Vt., March 28, 1894, aged eighty-four years, four months, and twenty-five days.

THE list of departed Alumni for 1895-96 largely exceeds in number any other presented since the publication of the Necrology, only two of the fifty- six names belonging to the record of previous years. The average age of the fifty-six is seventy-four years and four days. Three of the number were over ninety, twenty were between eighty and ninety, fourteen between seventy and eighty, and twelve between sixty and seventy; two only were below fifty.
Thirty-one were full graduates, twenty took only a part of their course at this Seminary, and five studied here as resident licentiates. Every one of the fifty-six was a college graduate before beginning theological study. Amherst and Yale each sent thirteen, Harvard six, Dartmouth five, Bowdoin, Middle- bury, and Williams four each, Vermont and Union two each, Brown, New Jer- sey, and Illinois one each.
The roll of the deceased is remarkable, not only for number and longevity, and the thorough education of every man, but for their high standing and devoted -in some cases illustrious - service in varied fields of usefulness. Dr. Edward Beecher, Dr. Kitchel, Dr. Magoun, and Dr. DeForest were college presidents ; Professor Talcott a lifelong instructor in Bangor Seminary; Dr. Clark and Dr. Alden gave eminent service as corresponding secretaries of the American Board; Park was an enthusiastic missionary in India; Turner and Storrs were pioneer home missionaries and superintendents ; many others, like Russell, Coggin, Beach, Whittlesey, Safford, Hubbell, were faithful, successful pastors - Harding in one pastorate for over forty years, and Blodgett for a full half century. Johnson was a distinguished physician, and White an honored business man.
Professor Park, of 1831, at the age of eighty-seven, now heads the long roll of living Alumni ; and Dr. Riggs, of 1832, eighty-five years old, is spared to send from Constantinople a touching tribute to the last survivor of his class, save himself, Dr. Samuel F. Smith, the author of our national hymn, America.
The following men are still living of classes previous to and including the class of 1836- sixty years ago :

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
By unanimous vote of the Alumni present at the annual meeting in June, 1895, the Association was reorganized " on a more definite basis, so as to command, to a greater degree, the interest and cooperation of the Alumni generally." The Constitution then adopted included the following provisions :
All graduates and past members of the Seminary, all present and past officers of the Seminary, including the Trustees and the Board of Visitors, may become members of the Association.
It is made the duty of the Secretary to present at each annual meeting a list of all past students of the Seminary who have died dur- ing the preceding year, and, when the funds at the disposal of the As- sociation will allow, to see that a biographical record similar to those already published be printed and distributed to the members. The annual catalogue of the Seminary, the printed Necrology, the program of Anniversary Week, and the next General Catalogue will also be sent to members of the Association.
The annual fee of membership is one dollar, and all Alumni who have not joined the Association are urged to send that amount for the current year, 1896-97, with their addresses, to the treasurer, Rev. W. L. Ropes, Andover, Mass.
Alumni are specially requested to send to the Secretary, at An- dover, notice of the death of any past member of the Seminary, as well as change of address or other information concerning the record of living Alumni.

OLASS OF 1834.
George Thompson Todd. (Non-graduate.)
Son of Eli Todd and Rachel Thompson; born in New Milford, Conn., September 6, 1810; fitted for college under private tuition; graduated at Yale College, 1829; law student in Yale College, 1830-31 ; studied in this Seminary, 1831-32, and in Princeton Seminary, 1832-35; licensed to preach by the Litch- field (Conn.) South Association in April, 1835. He was ordained by the Pres- bytery of Bedford as pastor of the Gilead Presbyterian Church at Carmel, N. Y., October 11, 1838, having already been its acting pastor from 1835, and remain- ing there until 1844; was acting pastor of Congregational church in Bethel, Conn., 1844 ; pastor of Presbyterian churches in Ballston Spa, N. Y., 1845-47, and Smithfield, N. Y., 1847-55; without charge at Smithfield, 1855-56, at Fond du Lac, Wis., 1856-90, at Minneapolis, Minn., 1890-92, at Fond du Lac, 1892-94, and at Aberdeen, S. D., from 1894.
Mr. Todd was honorably retired from the Presbyterian ministry, having been nearly blind for many years. His son, Rev. Calvin C. Todd, Presbyterian pastor in Aberdeen, S. D., writes of his father: "The best tribute I can fur- nish concerning him is to say that he was a finished earthly specimen of God's gracious workmanship. He knew his Lord, and had attained a rare acquaint- ance with his Lord's word. Salvation by the atoning blood of the Lamb was the theme on which he dwelt the most. The last earthly smile that lighted up his saintly features was on the day of his death, when I asked him if I should read to him from the Bible." The following has also been received from Prof. Samuel Porter, of Kendall Green, Washington, D. C., his classmate at Yale and at Andover, and a few months his senior in age : " From what I knew of him as a classmate, I held him in high esteem as a sincere, honest, and good- hearted man, modest and unpretentious, and one who would be likely to be faithful in duty as a Christian minister."
Mr. Todd was married, June 27, 1844, to Mary Ann Winchell, of North East, N. Y., daughter of Rev. James Manning Winchell (pastor of the First Baptist Church, Boston, who died in 1820) and Tamma Thompson. She died December 29, 1850, and he married, April 12, 1854, Coralie Chamberlin, daugh- ter of Calvin Chamberlin and Charlotte Finch. She survives him with three sons and two daughters, one daughter having deceased.
Mr. Todd died of old age, at Aberdeen, S. D., February 10, 1897, aged eighty-six years, five months, and four days.

OLASS OF 1837.
Henry Theodore Cheever, D.D. (Non-graduate.)
Son of Nathaniel Cheever and Charlotte Barrell; born in Hallowell, Me., February 6, 1814; prepared for college at Hallowell Academy and Phillips Academy, Andover ; graduated at Bowdoin College, 1834; studied in this Sem- inary, 1834-35; correspondent of the New York Evangelist from the Mediter- ranean and Louisiana, 1835-36; teacher in Palquemine and New Orleans, La., 1836-37; completed his theological study at Bangor Seminary, 1837-39; re- mained there as resident graduate, and supplied the church at Oldtown, Me., IS39-40; his health failing in connection with his excessive labors during a season of revival at Oldtown, he traveled in the Sandwich Islands and South America, 1840-43, acting as correspondent of the New York Evangelist. He was ordained at Lodi, N. J., June 4, 1847, and was pastor there, 1847-48; of the Free Congregational Church, on Chrystie Street, New York City, 1848-49; assistant editor of the New York Evangelist, 1850-52; pastor at Greenport, L. I., 1852-55; at Westbrook, Conn., 1855-56; at Jewett City, Conn., 1856-61 ; at South Royalston, Mass., 1862-63; of Trinitarian Church, Fitchburg, Mass., 1863-64 ; of Mission Chapel Church, Worcester, Mass., 1864-73; resided after- wards in Worcester, without charge.
Mr. Cheever received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Bowdoin College in 1892. Like his brother, Rev. Dr. George B. Cheever (Class of 1830), he was an early and persistent advocate of unpopular reforms; remained so during his life and left considerable bequests for their support. Besides his voluminous writing as a newspaper correspondent, he published a large num- ber of books, the following list giving only a part of them : The Whale and His Captors ; The Island World of the Pacific ; Memorials of Nathaniel Cheever, M.D .; Short Yarns for Long Voyages ; The Sea and the Sailor, from the Literary Re- mains of Walter Colton, and Life and Writings of Rev. Walter Colton, U.S.N. (Class of 1825) ; Autobiography and Memorials of Ichabod Washburn ; Corre- spondencies of Faith and Views of Madame Guyon ; Tracts for the Times ; Mem- orabilia of Dr. George B. Cheever and of His Wife, Elizabeth Wetmore ; Biblical Eschatology.
Rev. Daniel Merriman, D.D. (Class of 1868), pastor of the Central Church, Worcester, with which Dr. Cheever was connected, writes: "Dr. Cheever was a man of great force of character and very strong convictions. He was abso- lutely fearless, and so earnest in his views on matters of reform, such as tem- perance, that he was apt to overlook considerations of practical wisdom, and sometimes to be unduly vehement in his expressions. He was impatient with expediency, and not unfrequently took positions that were untenable, and used almost violent language in the endeavor to carry out cherished plans. This caused him often to be misunderstood and sometimes maligned by those who did not know him and could not appreciate the purity of motive and tremen- dous moral earnestness of the man. But under all this stress of word and atti- tude there was a big, loving heart, tenderly sympathetic with all suffering, inca- pable of resentment, full of generous humanity, singularly reverent and open to divine fellowship, loyal, direct, affectionate. Dr. Cheever had a fine literary gift. He was an eager student, broad and mystical in his theology, and strik- ingly devout in his spirit. His missionary and philanthropic ardor was intense,
241
and his faith in the Redeemer and the Redeemer's kingdom unfaltering. In all his life there was the note of battle, but it was always, and especially in the later years, mingled and absorbed in the sweet tones of charity and hope."
The following is quoted from an article in the Christian Mirror by his Bowdoin classmate, Rev. Cyrus Hamlin, D.D., LL.D., of Lexington, Mass. : " As we often differed in our views, I had the better opportunity to understand him thoroughly. There was never a nature more full of the attribute of hon- esty than his. He believed honestly, he acted honestly, and he often wondered that others could think and act differently, and especially that I, his old friend, should so far differ from him. But this brought to view one of his golden ex- cellences. He never showed the least sign of personal resentment toward those who opposed him, even if they treated him abusively. He was unsparing in his denunciation of wrong, but always had a heart of kindness toward the wrongdoer, so as to admit of every possible apology for him, while he might denounce the measure or the principle in the strongest manner the English language would enable him to do. I cherish great affection for him on account of this perfect moral balance. He always had, what has nearly perished out of our times, a burning indignation at oppression, injustice, and cruelty wherever exercised. Distance had little to do with it. He would have public sentiment smite it, however distant, however strongly intrenched. . . . Neither fear nor favor ever caused him to swerve, by one hair's breadth, from the straight line of right. If there were sometimes asperities in his denunciation of evil, age softened them. He was a man of faith, and if I pass over Jordan to the prom- ised land I shall meet him there."
Dr. Cheever was married, April 27, 1857, to Jane Tyler, of Jewett City, Conn., daughter of Lucius Tyler, M.D., and Olive Johnson, who died July 9, 1885. Of five daughters, four survive ; one is the wife of President William J. Tucker, of the Class of 1866.
Dr. Cheever died of old age, at Worcester, Mass., February 13, 1897, aged eighty-three years and seven days.
CLASS OF 1838.
Leander Thompson.
Son of Dea. Charles Thompson and Mary Wyman; born in Woburn, March 7, 1812 ; prepared for college at Warren Academy, Woburn ; graduated at Amherst College, 1835; took the full course at this Seminary, 1835-38; licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meeting with Dr. Justin Edwards, Andover, April 10, 1838. He was ordained at Woburn, Novem- ber 30, 1838; was acting pastor at Granby, Mass., 1838-39; under appointment of the American Board as missionary to Syria, he sailed from Boston, Janu- ary 24, 1840, and reached Beirût the following April; besides preaching and other missionary work, taught in the high school at Beirût during the larger part of three years; returned to this country in 1843. He was pastor at South Hadley Falls, Mass., 1843-50; without charge at Woburn, 1850-54; pastor at West Amesbury (now Merrimac), Mass., 1854-67; at Wolfeboro, N. H., 1868- 69, and at North Woburn, Mass., 1869-73; resided at North Woburn, without charge, afterward.
242
Mr. Thompson's missionary experience, although short, was one of danger and trouble, and left its impress upon his health for the rest of his life. It was a time of war and rumors of war in that land, and he was obliged, with other missionaries, to seek refuge in Jerusalem; both there and afterwards at Beirût he suffered protracted and severe attacks of malarial fever, which at length necessitated his leaving the field. After retiring finally from the active min- istry, and settling in his native village, he devoted himself to literary pursuits, especially in connection with local and family history. He published the Centennial History of the Woburn Schools ; History of the Churches of Woburn (in History of Middlesex County) ; Memorial of James Thompson and of Eight Generations of His Descendants, the last being a genealogical work of special interest and value. He published also Fast Day sermons in 1845 and 1856, Memorial of Rev. Benjamin F. Hosford of Haverhill, 1866, Remarks at the Funeral of Dea. Stephen Richardson, Woburn, 1872, and other occasional dis- courses, besides numerous contributions to the local press. He was a member of the New England Historic Genealogical Society, and a founder and trustee of the Rumford Historical Association, Woburn.
Rev. Charles S. Sherman, of Manchester Green, Ct., Mr. Thompson's Seminary classmate, who was ordained with him at Woburn, and who was a fellow laborer in Syria, writes of him : " Regarding my very dear friend, Lean- der Thompson, I have uniformly regarded him as a man of well-balanced mind, strong in his convictions, of tender sensibility, of great firmness of purpose, and a truly practical preacher. He was a loving and lovable man." Rev. Dr. Cyrus Hamlin, of Lexington, Mass., for so many years identified with Turkish missions, writes : "I knew Leander Thompson before either of us entered the mission fields to which we were looking, I to Constantinople, he to Beirût. From our first interview we became friends, and ever remained so. He was a very earnest, consecrated missionary, but he was tried by war and pestilence, and finally left the field with a shattered constitution. His letters express the deepest affliction at his forced departure from the fields, but great joy that I had health enough to continue my work. 'I am separated forever,' he said, ' from the work I loved and longed for, but when oppressed I turn my thoughts to you, still bearing the heat and burden of the day.' He had the liveliest in- terest in the missionary cause to the last, and the deepest sympathy with it, until he was called to join the host of laborers and converts who have gone up from those Oriental fields."
Mr. Thompson was married, November 6, 1839, to Anne Eliza Avery, of Wolfeboro, N. H., daughter of Samuel Avery and Mary Moody Clark. She survives him, with one son. Two daughters and two sons died in infancy or childhood (their first child, born in Jerusalem, dying in Beirût). Everett A. Thompson, Amherst College, 1871, a successful teacher, died, much lamented, in 1890.
Mr. Thompson died of paralysis, at North Woburn, Mass. (in the house in which he was born), October 18, 1896, aged eighty-four years, seven months, and eleven days.

CLASS OF 1841.
Theodore Jarvis Clark.
Son of Dea. Enos Clark and Susan Allen; born in Northampton, Mass., February 14, 1815; prepared for college at Henry Dwight's Select School and the Round Hill School, Northampton, and at Sheldon Academy, Southampton ; graduated at Williams College, 1836; taught in the preparatory department of Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, 1836-37; studied at the Theological Institute of Connecticut, East Windsor, 1837-38, and in this Seminary, 1838-39; taught in the High School, Northampton, 1839-40; returned to Andover for senior year, 1840-41 ; licensed to preach by the Andover Association, meeting with Rev. S. C. Jackson, Andover, April 13, 1841. After supplying the church in Cummington, Mass., nearly one year, he was ordained as its pastor, October II, 1842, and dismissed May 26, 1852, but still continued in its service until 1859. He was acting pastor at Bernardston, Mass., 1859-61, and pastor at Ashfield, Mass., 1862-65, having already supplied the church there from the fall of 1861. He was acting pastor of the church in Northfield, Mass., 1865-70, installed pastor there, August 17, 1870, and continued such for ten years. He resided a Northfield, without charge, 1880-81, and at Manchester, Vt., 1881-85, although supplying the church at Peru for two years, 1882-84. He was then acting pas- tor over his former charge at Bernardston, Mass., 1885-88; resided, without charge, at Northfield, 1888-94, at Brattleboro, Vt., 1894-96, removing to the home of his daughter at Springfield, Mass., a few months before his death.
Nearly all of Mr. Clark's contemporaries have passed on, but the compiler of these sketches, in whose native town he was for some years an acceptable and beloved pastor, can speak most heartily of his ability as a preacher, his fidelity as a shepherd of the flock, and, above all, of his sincere, genuine, beau- tiful Christian character. Rev. Lyman Whiting, D.D. (Class of 1842), whose eightieth birthday has just been celebrated at East Charlemont, Mass., writes that "the one thing he remembers in Brother Clark's ministry is his skill in the use of Scripture in prayer. Few can ever do it as he did - a profuseness, almost an inspired selection, giving a divine tone and beauty to his devotions." In a personal letter, written two years before his death, Mr. Clark said : “ I have just finished the reading of Dr. Cyrus Hamlin's Life and Times. He expresses my own feelings when he says in the review of his life, 'The feeling, the judg- ment, that I might have done more and better follows me all through, what- ever mood I may be in. In this solemn review I repeat to myself with infinite satisfaction,
