Brown, Oldest Grad Dies; 95 Years Old

John K. Brown '69, Harvard's oldest living alumnus, died at Auburndale in his 95th year yesterday. He is survived by only one member of his class, Francis H. Appleton, 93, of Boston.

A survey of the oldest living Harvard men shows that those who didn't graduate lived longer than those who did. Edward J. Dunning, who entered with the class of '67 but failed to graduate, wins the diploma for longevity among former students. He was born October 8, 1844.

Thompson, Apthorp Share Honors

Frederick H. Thompson and John V. Apthorp, who entered Harvard with '65, would share the honors for being the representatives of the oldest class; only they didn't receive diplomas.

Thomas W. Ward '66, born October 8, 1844, wins the ribbon for being the only accredited graduate from the College's class and the third oldest to have studied here.

With one living member of '66 and three members of '67, Harvard's freak class is '68 which has no survivors. The classes of '69, '70, '71, and '72 each has one representative.
