In Memory of Walter Hallock Wood NYAi.'1'iz 1: l'lALLOCK XVOOD Halter Hallock XYood was born Twelfth month twenty- seventh, eighteen hundred and seventy-six, at Farming- ton, New York. He graduated from Oakwood Seminary in 1851-1 and entered Haverford College as a Sophomore in 1898. Graduated from Haverford in 15101, spent four years as an instructor in Friends' Select School. From here he went to Oakwood Seminary where he held the position of principal until ill health caused him to retire in 1914. After spending a year in Ohio in search of good health, he came to XYesttown in .1915 as a teacher of mathematics. He kept this position at XYesttown until Third month twentieth, 15121, when he succumbed to a paralytic stroke and quietly passed away two days later. To say that he was a great asset to XYesttown School is perhaps the least that can be said about Walter XYood. He was a man of upright Christian character, and a faith- ful minister of the Gospel. Honest and sincere in all his intentions, no task ever fell his lot but what was fultllled to the best of his ability. ln the classroom as a teacher. he commanded the respect and admiration of every stu- dent. Out of school as a friend, his personality was of that rare kind which found for him a place in the heart of everyone. In his death we feel that XYesttown has in- deed suffered a heavy and irreparable loss. His lift' was gentle, and thc clcliiicizls So mixed in him, that Nam-rc might stand up And .my to all the world, 'This was tl muff. 10
