22 MEMORIAL OP J. HOWARD FRAZIER 



lie wrote in April, 1916, "It is certainly a remembrance worth 

 wiiile, especially to one who has learned through the Depart- 

 ment of Botany to appreciate the wonderfulness of life by 

 means of plant and nature study in jtieneral. There is quite a 

 large ridge of mountains just eighteen miles south of Bristol 

 and later in the summer I expect to get acquainted with many 

 new plants in that district." Then he goes on to say something 

 about a collection of plants made in the Niagara region the 

 previous summer, which he sent to the Department of Botany. 

 What more can we chronicle of a young life 0:1 the threshold 

 of doing much useful botanical work? He was a man of noble 

 and fine sentiments, of fine character, of a sunny disposition 

 and was liked by all. His associates at Ames will not forget 

 the cheer he brought into the laboratory and work shop. 



L. H. Pammel.
