There are four illustrations: Portrait of My Father Cast in One Mould The Jester and Mountains of the Moon.

After leaving college he followed his father's career by entering the newspaper business becoming reporter and later city editor of the Worcester Evening Gazette. In. 1895 he became treasurer of the Worcester Thread Company and in 1903 joined with other Worcester men in forming the Crompton-Thayer Loom Company. After this business was sold out in 1907 Mr. Scofield devoted most of the remainder of his life to writing and- to sculpture. He studied for several years under the well known sculptor Gutzon Borglum and maintained a studio on Front Street. He became a noted artist. He published two books of poems "Verses" in 1914 and "A Forgotten Idyll" in 1921. Much of his best poetry was contributed to Harvard Class reunions and to the local newspapers especially during the period of the late War. He was elected to the American Antiquarian Society in 1927 and His will left trusts funds of nearly one million dollars eventually to benefit several Worcester institutions. He was married December 31 1919 to Myrtis S. Sigourney Harrington who survived him. Privately Printed hardcover
