The other half of the class is Robert Hamill tYale 18841, the first of the famous Hamill family to enter the school. He lives at Hinsdale and is president of the Lyon Com- pany, real estate, at 116 South Michigan Avenue. He has four children, all married. News of 1881 is lacking. 1882 Simeon B. Chapin, in school from 1878-1882, is a stockbroker at 111 Broad- way, New York. He lives at 444 Fifth Avenue, and has four children. William H. Cowles CYale 18871 publishes the Morning Spokesman Review in Spokane, Washington, and lives at 2602 West Second Avenue.
