Frederick D. Griggs 9n Memxi Ucufn When Twilight Shadotvs Deepen, a nostalgic memory for alumni of Massachusetts State College, became a fact for its composer. Trustee Frederick D. Griggs, ' 13, in Springfield, December 22, after an illness of six weeks. Musically-minded, he wrote the songs which enabled the Class of 1913 to win the inter-class song contest at Commencement four years in a row; and not only played in the orchestra, but led the Band and the Glee Club. A natural leader, he was class president, member of the Senate, and high in Phi Sigma Kappa councils. He also found time to be college reporter for Springfield papers, college postmaster in a North College cubbyhole, head waiter at Draper Hall, and a mem- ber of the championship intercollegiate rifle team. Founder of the Middlesex County Extension Service, Mr. Griggs helped organize the Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation. He served two terms in the Legislature, and had been appointed trustee continuously since 1928. Member of the Association of Governing Boards of State Colleges and Universities, he was for several years secretary-treasurer in charge of program and meetings. During the past seven years, he was particularly active, through his office of executive secretary for the Springfield Taxpayers ' Association, in municipal affairs and in constructive efforts towards improved government. 128 1
