Arthur delivered the valedictory upon graduation from Amherst College in 1878. He then studied at Harvard Law School and graduated from Boston University School of Law in 1882.[1]

He represented Malden in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1892 through 1894 and in the Massachusetts Senate from 1895 to 1896. He was an instructor and professor of equity jurisprudence and equity pleading at Boston University School of Law from 1886 through 1902.[1] He spent his later years in Topsfield, Massachusetts and died at his home there on August 24, 1948.[3][4]
