Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...offer came in such form as to be irresistible. The record and presence of Mr. Bennett determined the decision of the committees, and results have shown the wisdom of their choice. Graduating at Brown University as a civil engineer in 1860, he entered the off1ce of the Connecticut Fire August 14th, was elected secretary October 23, 1865, and president January 28, 1873.
