Century Memorial
Clinton Scollard was a poet of distinction. In the earlier part of his eighteen-years’ membership in the Century, he was often at the Club, exchanging ideas with kindred spirits such as George E. Woodberry, Frank Dempster Sherman, Richard Watson Gilder, John Kendrick Bangs and Edmund Clarence Stedman, but during some years past, ill health had kept him secluded at his ancestral home. Scollard was a gentle soul, inclined perhaps to reserve in his intercourse with others, but of sterling character and fine intellectual discrimination.
