planning a university extension course. While at Clinton he helped 

 orgaaize a university exteasion course there, and I remember well, when 

 in conversation with him, how he expounded on the kind of work to educate 

 the people. He was also interested in furthering public libraries, and 

 did much for the De Witt public library. He was generous to a fault. In 

 society, school and class room he was always kind. It was my good fortune 

 to hear him in debate during his college days. In society or in friendly class 

 strife, Carl was always on the right side. Though circumstances did 

 not permit him to become an active scientific worker, yet he has left 

 an impression for the bettering of science in our high schools on the 

 many students who worked in his laboratories where he was an instructor. 

 His work was well done, and science has lost one of its humble workers 

 whose work must be measured by the influence he exerted on the com- 

 munity, rather than his written scientific communications.
