University Marshal Cabot Dies Suddenly Saturday

Powell M. Cabot '18, University Marshal, died Saturday in the New England Baptist Hospital. He was also business manager of the laboratory of physical chemistry related to medicine and public health.

Cabot, who graduated in 1917, after three years, returned from service in World War I to spend a year at the College as a tutor in the Department of History, Government, and Economics. He left in 1920 and was associated with the New York Evening Post until 1924.

He was also assistant director of the Division of Employment Security before World War II, and later director for Massachusetts of the United States Employment Service. When the functions of USES were turned over to the War Manpower Commission, he was also named director. He was appointed to the state fish and game board in 1954.
