Memorial Service.

The services in Appleton Chapel in memory of Adelbert Shaw, though simple, did not fail to impress those present with a sense of the true meaning of the loss of their comrade. One could not leave the chapel without feeling that beside the occasion for sorrow there was occasion for gratitude that such a character had been allowed to be amongst the community, and to spread abroad its sunny, manly influence. Every seat in Appleton Chapel was filled by members of the University, eager to express by their presence their appreciation of their loss, and their sympathy with those who at that time were performing the sad ceremonies at Fishkill.

Prof. Peabody spoke beautifully and earnestly of Shaw, dwelling upon his happy, manly nature which in its unassuming way was deeply religious. He read portions of a letter from Shaw's former teacher, who spoke of his pupil in the highest and tenderest terms. Dr. Brooks' prayer was thankful, sympathetic, and full of hope.

The Glee Club sang "Hark, hark, my soul" and "Abide with me." After Prof. Peabody's address, J. D. Merrill, L. S., sang a portion of an anthem, "For they are in peace." Mr. Locke began the services with Beethoven's March on the Death of a Hero, and closed with Chopin's Funeral March.
