 greater zest. 



Thus it has been my fortune to know this friend under many con- 

 ditions, and through all these years and varied circumstances, official 

 and social, I have never found him lacking in sympathy and readiness 

 to advise and assist in every way in his power, and there has never 

 been a ripple of antagonism to mar our friendship. 



Although we deeply regret the loss of this dear friend from our 

 midst, it will always be a pleasure to cherish the memory of his 

 many virtues, his true friendship, his love for his fellow men, and his 

 devotion to science. 



Yours, sincerely, 



F. W. Putnam.
