William Leverett Chase, who died at his home in Brookline on Oct. 7, after a long and distressing illness, was the son of Henry Savage Chase, who was born at Washington, D. C., in 1825, graduated from Harvard in the Class of 1848, and was, like his son, secretary of his Class until his death. W. L. Chase was born at Grafton, Dec. 4, 1853, educated in the public schools of Brookline, and entered as a Freshman in the autumn of 1872. His peculiar qualities of energy and kindliness early made him known to his classmates, and at his graduation, twenty years ago, as now at his death, no member of his Class was known and liked by a larger number of his classmates. He took high rank in college, where he was an editor of The Magenta, afterwards The Crimson, thus early evincing a taste for literary pursuits; but, upon graduation, the exten sive manufacturing business founded by his father, and which he was soon left to conduct alone, claimed for many years his exclusive attention. There is probably hardly a man in Boston who, having an extensive and complicated business thrust upon him at so early an age, has proved himself more equal to the responsibility, and more successful in enlarging it. At his death Colonel Chase left a large fortune; but, as the writer well remembers, scarcely had he got these practical duties so disposed as to leave him any leisure, than he began to give much of the earnest energy of his nature to affairs of public spirit and the interests of his friends. He had in some respects the ideal of an older day; the church and the army were now his main interests, though he never ceased to have a taste for letters, which, had he lived, it is more than probable would have guided him to some original work himself; but he had written some things now in course of publication, and had been president of the Papyrus Club of Boston. But for many years before he had been junior warden of St. Paul's Church in Brookline, and trustee of the Church Home for Orphans and Destitute Children, and of the Society for the Relief of the Widows and Orphans of Deceased Clergymen. He entered the First Corps of Cadets as a private April 15, 1886, and gave much study to military affairs, particularly ordnance, tactics, and marksmanship; he wrote two treatises — on Outpost Duty and on Marksmanship - which attracted wide attention. He was soon appointed to the Governor's staff, and the appointment in his case was more than a political compliment; probably no officer in the State militia of recent years did more work, and was of more actual service. His merits were so recognized that his appointment was renewed through one, if not more, changes of political parties, and followed by successive promotions until he became acting inspector-general. It was his custom frequently to go to England to witness the military manœuvres, where he met the officers highest in the British service, and his expert knowledge on many points was recognized and appreciated by officers of the regular army. At his death he was president of the Massachusetts Society of Sons of the Revolution. He had hardly left his military office when he was offered and accepted membership in the Metropolitan Park Commission, and the rapid and successful prosecution of that unequaled State work, which we are now only beginning to appreciate, was due in part to his energy. About the same time, while his name was being considered by the Governor for a State directorship on the Fitchburg Railroad, he was elected by the stockholders a director, and his business abilities and judgment are further shown by the number of other important corporations of which he was an officer or director. Just before his death he was elected president of the Boston Commercial Club. Not yet twenty years out of college when he died, it is rare for any man to have done so much and in so many directions as did Colonel Chase. If one were to name the dominant notes of his character, they would be energy and kindliness; that kindliness which rises not only to generosity with money, but to intimate and active interest in all men who were known to him and seemed worthy, and to selfsacrificing labor for all high causes or works of public weal. He leaves a widow and four children surviving, of whom one is a son. His will contained many public bequests; his valuable collection of war medals to the Independent Corps of Cadets, an interesting library to the Papyrus Club, and many others, showing not only his generosity but his peculiar thoughtfulness in all relations of life. Under certain circumstances, Harvard College becomes a residuary legatee to a very large amount, and receives immediately $5,000 to establish a scholarship to be known as the Charles B. Porter Scholarship, in the Medical School. F. J. S. — - F. C. Lowell has been elected a member of the Harvard Corporation, to succeed Judge W. C. Endicott, '47, resigned.-J. F. Winslow, of Cincinnati, is a delegate to the meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League, to be held in Washington, D. C., in December. - E. M. Wheelwright, '76, was the special guest at the annual dinner of the Boston Architectural Club, and spoke on "Municipal Architecture."- The N. Y. Evening Post says of the recently dedicated Carnegie Public Library at Pittsburgh, Pa., designed by A. W. Longfellow's firm: "The architects can justly pride themselves on having beaten ninetyfive competitors and on having conformed to unusual and difficult conditions, yet having produced a building that is in accordance with the best traditions of architectural study." |
