"PROF. CLAPP OF U.C. IS CALLED.

Berkeley, Feb. 7.  Dr. Edward Bull Clapp, professor emeritus of Greek language 
and literature in the University of California, died this morning at the Alta 
Vista apartments, following a lingering illness.  Dr. Clapp was 63 years old 
and had been associated with the University since 1894, retiring from the 
faculty because of ill health two years ago.

Graduating from Illinois College in 1875, Professor Clapp took graduate work at 
Yale and continued his studies at the University of Berlin. He served as 
professor of Greek in Illinois College and later at Yale, whence he was called 
to Berkeley.  He was a member of the Phi Upsilon fraternity, the Phi Beta Kappa 
honor society and numerous other literary organizations.

Professor Clapp's widow, Mrs. May M. Clapp, is at present in England, visiting 
her daughter, Mrs. Richard Stewart Dyer-Bennett, formerly Mariam Clapp, who is 
the wife of a colonel in the British army.  Another daughter, Mrs. John 
Frederick Snook of Caspar, Wyoming, has arrived in Berkeley to take charge of 
the funeral arrangements." END
