368 BOTANICAL GAZETTE [april 



contributions to the botanical journals, not only of America but also 

 of England, France, and Germany. 



His travels in Europe, his extensive correspondence, and the stu- 

 dents that came from the ends of the earth to study in his laboratories 

 have made his name familiar in the botanical institutions of every land. 

 As a delegate to the International Botanical Congresses of 1905 and 19 10 

 held in Vienna and Brussels respectively, he made for conservatism in 

 botanical nomenclature. A charter member of the Botanical Society 

 of America and at one time president, he has been for a generation one 

 of the leaders of American botanical thought and activity. He was a 

 fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a 

 member of the American Philosophical Society, and in 191 8 was elected 

 to the National Academy of Science. He was for years an associate 

 editor of the Botanical Gazette. He was also a member of the 

 honorary societies of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi. 



To those of us who knew him intimately as teacher and friend, our 

 days with him in field and laboratory will ever remain a happy and a 

 grateful memory. He was a master of the highest scientific ideals, 

 unsparing in his criticisms, just and fair in his judgments, generous with 

 help and suggestions, a good friend and a genial companion. — H. H.
