The advent, in 1913, of a prospective Harvard man has been the most important event in my affairs since the publication of the last report.
A fairly prolific garden has occupied my leisure hours in an endeavor to reduce the High Cost of Living. I have alos been interested in dental affairs as a whole, and have served for the last three years, as secretary of the Metropolitan District of the Massachusetts Dental Society.
From Harvard college, class of 1897. Twenty-fifth Anniversary Report (1922) :
ROY CHURCHILL SKINNER — Born at Dedham, Mass., Oct. 8, 1874. Son of Joseph Crandall and Alice F. (Gilbert) Skinner. School: Roxbury Latin School. Years in college: 1893-97. AB; DMD 1909 (Tufts Dental School). Married: Ethel Hersey Macomber, Sept. 4, 1909, Boston, Mass. Child: Joseph Churchill, Nov. 15, 1913. Died at Wellesley Hills, Mass., Oct. 10, 1919.
Roy Churchill Skinner entered Harvard in the fall of 1893. In the years immediately following his graduation in 1897, he held several mercantile positions, but a characteristic super-sensitiveness to the rights of others made the keen competition of business life distasteful to him.
He consequently determined to follow his late father’s profession of dentistry, and in 1906 entered the Tufts College Dental School. After receiving his degree in 1909, he practiced his profession in Boston, continuing with increasing success until his death, Oct. 10, 1919. He He married Ethel Hersey Macomber Sept. 4, 1909, and their son, Joseph Churchill, was born Nov. 11, 1913.
Roy Skinner’s genial, sincere, and generous temperament quickly endeared him to those with whom he came in contact both professionally and socially. The remarkable fund of energy he possessed enabled him to accomplish much in his vocation and in his hours of play, which he loved to spend on or near salt water. During his last months, when he suffered from an obscure disease which he knew was incurable, he carried on the daily routine of a busy life with e buoyancy of spirit and quiet courage which enabled him to conceal his condition from all except his immediate family. This was typical of the man whose character earned him the affection and respect of all of us who knew him.
