      WHITING was a recruit from '93, having dropped a year ▼ * owing to ill health, and joined our ranks in the fall of 1892. Previously he had completed Sophomore year at Colgate University, in the Class of 1893. He was born at Pawlet, Vermont, August 18, 1868, one of the seven children of Edmund Cotton and Charlotte Matilda (Decker) Whiting. His father

      JAY EDMUND WHITING
      was born November 10, 1818, at Goshen, Vermont, a descendant of Reverend Samuel Whiting, who came from England in 1635, and settled in Lynn, Massachusetts. The two grandfathers of Mr. Whiting, Senior, Cotton Whiting, and Benjamin Whitmore, were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. Mr. Whiting was educated at public schools and became a farmer, residing successively at Goshen, Vermont; Hebron and Granville, New York; and Pawlet, Vermont, from I860 to his death there December 17, 1900. He was married November 12, 1845, his wife having been born February 2, 1827, at Swanton, Vermont, of Dutch stock, her ancestors in Colonial days having owned lands adjoining Livingston Manor. She died January 13, 1918.
      Their son, our classmate, was prepared for college at the Granville High School, and the Troy Conference Academy. He won a dissertation appointment at Commencement. Upon graduation he attended the Law School of New York University and completed the course in one year, being admitted to the bar in 1895, and becoming a partner in the law firm of Bodine, Grigley and Whiting of New York City. In September, 1903, he became associated with the firm of Townsend, Avery, and Button, which was succeeded in November, 1911, by the present firm of Avery and Whiting, of which he is still a member. In politics he is a Republican. He is an attendant of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and interested in various philanthropic and civic movements. He is also a member of Delta Upsilon, Colgate Chapter; Delta Chi, New York University Chapter, and Mystic Tie Lodge, No. 272, F. and A. M., New York City. As his chief recreations he cites "autoing and chess."
      On July 25, 1907, he was married in New York City to Miss Lilly Vallie Hyatt, daughter of Reverend James Henry Hyatt and Catherine Virginia (Anderson) Hyatt of New York City, the father being a Baptist clergyman. One son, Edmund Jay, was born August 25, 1910, in New York City.
