A .-lSS. ' J cm ' Sli TTS A GI-ilCUL TURAL COLLEGE The Alumni of the Massachusetts Agricultural College To attempt to give an accurate account of the work of the alumni and the various professions and vocations in which they are engaged, would require much time and far greater space than we can take in this book ; but the extent and scope of their work can, perhaps, be shown to some extent by grouping them in classes and mentioning some of the leaders in each class. In professional life, in the practice of law, some of our alumni have achieved great prominence ; for instance, James H. Webb, ' 73, of New Haven, is a man of great influence in the state of Connecticut and one who, on the Constitutional Convention of last year, had, perhaps, greater influence than any other. He is not only a noted attorney, but an instructor of Law at Yale Law School. Lemuel Holmes, ' 72, of New Bedford, is Judge of the Massachusetts Supreme Court and Judge Lyman, of Northampton, Mass., is our instructor in Rural Law at the College, as well as judge. A. AV. Dickinson, ' 74, who died a few years since was well known in the courts of New Jersey. Among our alumni prominent in the medical profession, are Dr. Joseph E. Root, ' 76, of Hartford, Conn., who is a man noted as a physician, surgeon, and specialist in nose and throat troubles, many persons coming long distances for treatment in his specialty. He is Secretary of the Hartford Medical Association and also a member of the Board of Health, has written several books, and holds a high social position. Dr. Joseph N. Hall ' 78, Denver Col., is a noted specialist in heart troubles and Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the University of Colorado. Dr. John A. Cutter, of New York City, also deserves mention.
