DANIEL CADY EATON, son of Daniel C and Harriet E (Cady) Eaton, was a nephew of General Amos B. Eaton, of the United States Army, and grandson of Professor Amos Eaton, the distinguished geologist and botanist. Before coming to college he studied in the Gottingen Gymnasium. In college he was on the "Wenona" crew. After graduation he studied in the Columbia and Albany Law Schools. In the spring of 1861 he was in Washington as a private in the Seventh Regiment of New York militia, but soon began the practice of law in New York City, at first in partnership with his classmate William Fowler, and then with Alfred J. Taylor (B A. Yale 1859) In 1866 he went to Europe for the sake of his wife's health and lived for about a year in Dresden. He then returned to New York City for a year, but in November, 1868, he went abroad again, and was for several months in Berlin.
In 1869 he was appointed Professor of the History and Criticism of Art in the Yale School of the Fine Arts, and spent the next two years in further preparation for his work in the art centers of Europe, studying the collections and the history of art, and enrolled himself as a student in the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He afterward made further trips to Europe for study From 1871 to 1876 when he withdrew, the title of his chair was simply the History of Art. In 1902 he resumed his professorship under the original title but with a university scope and continued his lectures in the University until 1907 when he was made Professor Emeritus.
Professor Eaton published an "Introduction to the Study of Greek Sculpture," 1879, "A Handbook of Greek and Roman Sculpture," third edition 1886, "A Handbook of
Modern French Painting,1' 1909, and had nearly completed the companion volume, "A Handbook of French Sculpture". He also wrote "Yale College in 1890" and articles mostly on artistic, educational, and economic topics, also many letters over the signature "Penander".
Professor Eaton died at his home after an illness of about four months. He was in his 75th year. He was a member of St Thomas's Protestant Episcopal Church, New Haven.
He married, December 18, 1861, Alice, daughter of Henry Young, of New York City. She survives him. They had no children.
Professor Eaton presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City a large and valuable collection of volumes on the history of art, engravings, and photographs, also thousands of lantern slides for use in its educational work.
