A. V. Stubenrauch. Deceased. 



PROFESSOR A. V. STUBENRAUCH. 



In the recent death of Professor A. V. Stubenrauch the state 

 of California has lost one of her foremost citizens. As professor 

 of Pomology in the University of California he labored unceas- 

 ingly for the benefit of the horticultural industry, and though 

 his work there was of short duration when the hand of death 

 took him, he will long be remembered for his scientific attain- 

 ment and sterling worth. 



To the writer his loss is personally felt because of a close 

 friendship and professional relations extending throughout a 

 considerable period of years. From the time that Professor 

 Stubenrauch was secretary to Dr. Eugene "W. Hilgard until his 

 recent death we were thrown in contact with each other as 

 fellow workers with the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture and later as members of the International Jury of 

 Awards at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in 1915. His work 

 and character were therefore well known to me, and it was with 

 a feeling of deepest regret that I learned of his death. The 

 University of California, in his passing, has lost a conscientious 

 and capable official whose place can not be easily filled.
