IN MEMUHIAM April 17, 1944. Warren Appleton Whitney, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Worcester Academy, passed from this life March 28, 1944. Warren Whitney had been associated with Worcester Academy-closely associated with it-all of his adult life. He was graduated in the Class of 1901. He was long a member of its Board of Trustees and became President of the Board January 11, 1935. He was a bulwatk of strength to the Academy in the troublous days which it experi- enced, as did many other institutions, in the unhappy financial times of the early thirties. He gave to the Academy during his trusteeship, and while he was President, the benefit of his experience in the world of affairs, his time without stint, and his wholehearred devotion and solicitude. That Worcester Academy was able to ride safely out the storms of those years is due in a marked part to the skill and guidance of Warren Whitney. Forceful, purposeful, firm but ever friendly, he was an inspiration alike to his fellows on the Board and to the faculty. His friends meant much to him. They were always in his thoughts and he was ever anxious to be of service to them. Warren Whitney was the type that one liked to associate with. He had his share of the appreciation of fun and wit and at times enjoyed the lighter side of life. He was a family man. He was a religious man. He did his part in his church and carried even larger than his share of the load. He was a whole- some man, steadfast in character. He was in all a good citizen and a good friend. The passing of Warren Whitney is a loss to Worcester Academy. When failing health made it manifest to him that he could not carry all of the loads that he had been helping to carry, in the many things in which he was interested, he felt obliged to give up the Presidency of the Board of Trustees of the Academy, but consented to remain its Chairman. He was an active Chairman and not merely an honorary figurehead. The Academy and its welfare were among his chief interests and were such to the end. In common with the large number of those who mourn his passing, the Trustees of Worcester Academy are a part. His memory will be for a long while in the traditions at the Academy. His good deeds and what he has done for the institution will ever live. The Board of Trustees place this tribute on the records of the Academy and they instruct the Secretary to send a copy of it to Mrs. Whitney.
