  "The 
  personality 
  of 
  Professor 
  Craig, 
  characteristic 
  of 
  that 
  

   of 
  the 
  scientist, 
  was 
  marked 
  by 
  simphcity 
  and 
  directness 
  of 
  

   manner, 
  impatience 
  with 
  error 
  due 
  to 
  carelessness 
  or 
  intent, 
  

   but 
  unlimited 
  benign 
  tolerance 
  of 
  all 
  men 
  who 
  honestly 
  ex- 
  

   pressed 
  views 
  opposing 
  his 
  own 
  or 
  who 
  made 
  conscientious 
  mis- 
  

   takes. 
  Professor 
  Craig 
  possessed 
  that 
  broad 
  humanity 
  which 
  

   found 
  quite 
  as 
  large 
  interest 
  in 
  his 
  fellow 
  man 
  as 
  it 
  found 
  in 
  

   his 
  special 
  study 
  of 
  plants, 
  and 
  his 
  charming 
  personality, 
  strong 
  

   manly 
  bearing, 
  scholarship, 
  and 
  active 
  interest 
  in 
  whatever 
  

   engaged 
  his 
  attention 
  at 
  all, 
  will 
  be 
  ever 
  remembered 
  by 
  those 
  

   of 
  us 
  who 
  had 
  the 
  pleasure 
  and 
  the 
  profit 
  of 
  his 
  acquaintance." 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Littlepage: 
  I 
  would 
  just 
  like 
  to 
  say, 
  in 
  connection 
  with 
  

   the 
  very 
  appropriate 
  and 
  excellent 
  words 
  which 
  the 
  President 
  

   used 
  in 
  reference 
  to 
  Prof. 
  Craig, 
  that 
  it 
  certainly 
  meets 
  the 
  most 
  

   hearty 
  approval 
  of 
  all 
  of 
  us 
  who 
  knew 
  Prof. 
  Craig, 
  that 
  this 
  

   association 
  go 
  on 
  record 
  in 
  this 
  manner. 
  At 
  the 
  first 
  meeting 
  

   that 
  was 
  held, 
  by 
  the 
  few 
  of 
  us 
  who 
  met 
  in 
  Bronx 
  Park 
  Museum 
  

   at 
  New 
  York, 
  to 
  start 
  this 
  organization, 
  you 
  will 
  remember 
  

   the 
  enthusiasm 
  and 
  the 
  words 
  of 
  encouragement 
  that 
  Prof. 
  Craig 
  

   gave 
  us 
  at 
  that 
  time. 
  He 
  was 
  there 
  among 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  there 
  

   was 
  always 
  intermingled 
  with 
  the 
  scientific 
  phase 
  of 
  the 
  sub- 
  

   jects 
  that 
  he 
  discussed, 
  the 
  practical, 
  genial 
  good 
  fellowship 
  that 
  

   made 
  everyone 
  like 
  him; 
  and 
  after 
  all, 
  it 
  is 
  but 
  proper 
  that 
  we 
  

   stop 
  for 
  a 
  moment 
  and 
  express 
  our 
  deep 
  appreciation. 
  In 
  this 
  

   life 
  of 
  turmoil 
  and 
  business 
  hustle, 
  I 
  think 
  that 
  we 
  sometimes 
  

   do 
  not 
  quite 
  realize 
  the 
  shortness 
  of 
  life, 
  the 
  shortness 
  of 
  the 
  

   time 
  that 
  we 
  have 
  to 
  accomplish 
  any 
  of 
  those 
  things 
  in 
  which 
  

   we 
  are 
  interested; 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  men 
  who 
  are 
  giving 
  their 
  time 
  

   to 
  these 
  scientific 
  subjects, 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  which 
  will 
  inure 
  to 
  all 
  

   humanity, 
  who 
  are 
  certainly 
  entitled 
  to 
  consideration 
  and 
  a 
  kindly 
  

   remembrance. 
  That 
  is 
  why 
  it 
  was 
  that 
  I 
  heard 
  with 
  such 
  grati- 
  

   fication 
  the 
  words 
  of 
  the 
  President 
  about 
  Prof. 
  Craig.
