In addition to his scientific work. Professor Hicks maintained 

 always a lively sense of his responsibilities as a member of society and 

 as a citizen. He took a deep interest in all political questions and was 

 entirely independent of party dictation at a time when independence 

 was not yet common, a fact which made it inevitable that his political 

 position should sometimes be misunderstood. In Lincoln, Nebraska, 

 his activity in municipal politics resulted in his elevation to the Chair 

 manship of the Board of Public Works. He is now engaged in col- 

 lege work in Burmah.
