Manistee, Mich. Aug. 22 - (By Associated Press) - Stuart Pratt Sherman, 45 years old, literary editor of the New York Herald Tribune, and widely known critic, died here yesterday apparently of heart failure following an exhaustive swim to reach land after his canoe overturned in Lake Michigan. His heart failed just as he reached safety.
Friends on shore saw him sink and had pulled him out of the water an instant after he sank, but attempts to resuscitate him failed.
Mr. Sherman was born at Anita, Iowa, October 1, 1881. He received his B.A. in 1904 his A.M. and in 1906 his Ph.D. at Harvard.
On Christmas day, 1906, he married Ruth Bartlett Mears of Williamstown, Mass.
Mr. Sherman was a member of the department of English at Northwestern university from 1906 to 1911. He was Professor of English at the University of Illinois until 1924, when he resigned to become literary editor of the Herald Tribune.
He was the author of "Mathew Arnold," "on Contemporary Literature," "Americans and the Genius of America."
