GEORGE W. CULLUM. 419 



for the benefit of mankind, if its resources were adequate to the great 

 field before it. For the seventeen years during which he acted as Vice 

 President, his efforts were untiring to make it what it ought to be, and 

 what he belived it ultimately would become. He took upon himself a 

 large share of those executive labors that are indispensable to the success- 

 ful management of such an institution, overlooked its extensive corre- 

 spondence and advised respecting it, gave much of his attention to the 

 publication of the journal, and scarcely a day passed during those seven- 

 teen years that he did not come to the Society's house to supervise some 

 matter of detail. The narrow limits of a resolution will not admit of an 

 enumeration of all that he has done for our institution. We can only ex- 

 press our deep sense of our loss, our appreciation of his wide and accurate 

 knowledge, and our high regard for him as a man." * 



" General Cullum was a leading spirit in the organization of the Asso- 

 ciation of Graduates, in 1870. He was its most enthusiastic supporter. 

 and it is safe to say that without his aid and assistance in its manage- 

 ment the Association would not have survived the infant stages of its 

 existence and lived to attain such a robust majority. General Cullum 

 prepared more of the obituaries published in our annual reports than any 

 twenty-five other graduates. He was ever ready to respond to a request 

 to write the history of deceased graduates. He became a member of 

 the Executive Committee in 1871, and was the Chairman from 187S 

 till his death." f
