Hayden W. Wheeler AYDEN W. WHEELER, to whose memory this book is dedi- cated, was born in Pompey, Onondaga County, N. Y., on No- vember 25, 1827, and was educated at Manlius Academy. He came to Brooklyn in 1854, and identified himself with the educa- tional and social activities -of this city. From 1881 to 1884 he was a member of the Board of Education, and was treasurer and trustee of Adelphi College from its establishment until his death. It was, indeed, in large measure, owing to his efforts that Adelphi College was incorpo- rated. and his devotion to its welfare can never be too highly appreciated. We feel, that in Ins death, on October 28, 1904. the college has lost one of its truest and most faithful friends.
