DEATH OF P. S. NICHOLS

Manager of the Art and Antique Department of Shreve, Crump & Low, Boston, a Pneumonia Victim

Boston, Mass., Oct. 3.—Percival Snow Nichols, for many years manager of the art and antique department of Shreve, Crump & Low Co., passed away at his temporary home in Lynn, Oct. 1, following an attack of pneumonia which resulted from influenza. Mr. Nichols was stricken only a week before his decease.

Entering the employ of Shreve, Crump & Low, about 15 years ago. Mr. Nichols specialized in antiques and articles of vertu, and early in his career earned a high reputation as a connoisseur, his judgment being recognized among a wide circle of collectors as of the highest order. His department often was visited by individual collectors and members of various Arts and Crafts Societies and similar organizations and from Mr. Nichols they always found inspiration and advice of inestimable value in their work. His opinion was even sought by the State, and some years ago he prepared a treatise of antiques and art work which was frequently quoted as authority. His attractive personality, coupled with his exceptional ability, in the choice and assembling of the rare pieces of ancient furniture and household embellishments rendered it a pleasure to all to visit his department, and one always went away with a deep impression of admiration and delight. His death will be keenly regretted by a large and distinguished line of patrons from among the elite of Boston and vicinity.

Mr. Nichols for a long time has lived in Boston, but also had a home in Cohasset. For years he was a member of the choir of the Church of the Advent, being the possessor of a rich voice. .

His parents are not living and his surviving relatives are an uncle and an aunt, Mr. and Mrs. George Meally of Cohasset, and a cousin, Miss Ruth Meally.

Mr. Nichols, who was in his 39th year, was greatly beloved by his former associates in business, and by the jewelry trade as indeed by his personal acquaintances his loss is profoundly felt.

The medals given as prizes for the games of last spring and the fall meets of this year were distributed early last week. They are in silver and bronze, for 1st and 2d places respectively. The engraving is by Shreve, Crump & Low ; one side being their design, and the other a reproduction of the old M. I. T. Athletic Club seal of crossed foils and clubs. The execution is admirable, being clear cut and accurate, but there is a feeling about that the design is not entirely artistic or even appropriate, considering the fact that neither fencing nor club swinging hold a prominent part in our athletics to-day. As the die was new, anyway, a more artistic design might have been secured without extra expense. There is, of course, sentiment and historical value attaching to the present design, which might, perhaps, warrant its general adaptation as the Athletic Association seal.
