REV. GEORGE DURYEA HULST, Ph.D. 



Dr. Hulst died suddenly, November 5, 1900, of apoplexy, 

 at his home, 15 Himrod Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Dr. Hulst 

 was born March 9, 1846, hence was in his 55th year at the 

 time of his death. A few days before, the writer had spoken 

 with him and discussed matters entomological and otherwise. 

 He was then in apparently perfect health, and good for main- 

 years more of active service in his profession and his chosen 

 study. Dr. Hulst graduated from Rutgers College in 1866, 

 and ever remained closely associated with it. He was a faith- 

 ful alumnus and served for a short time in 1888-89 as Ento- 

 mologist of the Experiment Station. In 1891 the degree of 

 Doctor of Philosophy was conferred upon him by his Alma 

 Mater. He graduated from the Theological Seir-'-ary at New 

 Brunswick in 1869, and in the same year was installed as pastor 

 of the South Bush wick Reformed Church in Brooklyn, where 

 he remained to the day of his death. As a pastor and as a man 

 he had and deserved the confidence of the members of his con- 

 gregation and of all with whom he came into personal contact. 

 His expressed convictions were honest, his belief \vas sincere
