518 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY. 



In later years a malady of the heart gave his friends much anxiety, 

 and to it, after a gallant struggle, he succumbed on June 9th, 1918. 

 Professionally eminent, he was above all things a charming and 

 courteous gentleman, beloved of his many friends, always ready and 

 eager to lend a helping hand in the advancement of science, and his 

 loss came with a sense of real grief to his colleagues in this Academy.
