Century Memorial

Prescott Evarts, son of that old-time Centurion, wit and statesman, Senator William M. Evarts, began his life-work as a master at St. Paul’s School, from which he himself had graduated. At New York he was identified with the Church of the Holy Communion, then became Rector of the Zion Church at Wappingers Falls, and in 1901 was called to Christ Church, Cambridge, where he remained until he retired from the ministry in 1930. He was a quiet, intellectual man, much loved by friends and parishioners.
