OBITUARY.

PHILIP ALLEN POST, formerly a member of the present Junior Class, died in Newport on Sunday, December 26, of typhus fever. A few of his friends knew of his dangerous illness, but the announcement of his death was a shock for which no one was fully prepared. Although he was in Cambridge but little over a year and a half, he was universally known and was universally liked. The death of any one at twenty-one years of age is always an unusually sad event, but the death of one so bright, so generous, so uniformly good-natured as Allen Post is particularly distressing. His funeral took place in New York on Thursday, 30th December, and was attended by a large number of relatives, friends, and classmates.
