Dean Edward Ellery was in 1923 the Dean of Faculty and a Professor of Chemistry at Union College. He must have traveled to Boston to make his speech at the Alumni dinner.

Dean Ellery was born in 1868 and died in 1961. He is buried in the Union College graveyard, a benefit of employment at the college. Interestingly, Edward married a Maine woman, a teacher, in 1909; it was his second marriage (being widowed) and her first. Both were 40 at the time of their marriage. Dr. Ellery's obituary appeared in the January 21, 1961 edition of The New York Times.
