He was graduated from the Weymouth High School in 1869 and Amherst College in 1873. He later studied at Clark University 1890-91, at Harvard University 1898-99, from which he received an A. M. degree in 1899, and at Haverford College outside of Philadelphia as a graduate student in Higher Mathematics in 1899, where he received a Ph.D. in 1900. Immediately upon graduation at Amherst, he was employed by that college as Walker Instructor in mathematics, which position he held for two years and two terms. In September of 1877, he assumed a chair, at first, of mathematics and afterward, of astronomy at Colorado College, Colorado Springs. He held the latter appointment until his retirement in 1907. During his thirty years of service in that institution, he was given several extended leaves of absence, during which he pursued advanced studies. Soon after beginning work in Colorado, he organized the college’s meteorological service, with numerous stations throughout Colorado and was its director for several years. This service was afterward taken over by the U. S. weather bureau. Professor Loud also founded and directed the work of the Western Association of Stellar Photography in cooperation with Harvard University. His work in astronomy included observations of the eclipse of 1878 in Colorado Springs and that of 1918 in Matheson, Colorado and amateur observations of eclipses in Norfolk, Va. (1900) and Westerly, R.I. (1925). He was the author of one book, “Elementary Geometry on the Analytical Plan” (1878). He has written many articles on astronomical subjects. His doctor’s thesis appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics. Dr. Loud was a member of the Mathematical Association of America, American Astronomical Society and American Meteorological Society. He was a Fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was the author of books, articles and reports on mathematics. He was a professor of mathematics at Amherst College, 1873-76, and at Colorado College, 1877-99. [source: alumni bio. of Haverford College, 1900]. In politics he was a Republican and in religion, a Congregationalist, having become a member of the First Church in Weymouth at sixteen. Loud was a great lover of the mountains, particularly in Colorado. He took up a quarter section when the first burro trail was built up Pike’s Peak and became an original settler there. Mr. Loud was a man of quiet, unobtrusive personality, a deep thinker, genial and possessed of a fine sense of humor. He died in St. Petersburg, Florida and is buried in the family lot in North Weymouth, Massachusetts. His wife, Mabel Wiley, was born in Lebanon, Illinois, daughter of Dr. Martin and Emma Matilda (Danforth) Wiley. Her father was a surgeon in the Federal Army during the Civil War. Mabel died in Southampton, England and is buried beside her husband in the North Cemetery off North Street in Weymouth, Massachusetts. CHILDREN BORN AT COLORADO SPRINGS, CO.: 1.
