26 IOWA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Vol. XXV. 1918 



■on his way to the training camp at Seattle he became ill with 

 .influenza and died at Salt Lake Cit}^ on October 31. 



During his brief life he endeared himself to everyone who 

 ever met him ; clean of mind and body, full of vigor and buoy- 

 ancy whether on the track, where he won some of the highest 

 secondary school and college honors of America ; or in the class 

 room, where he strove to excel; or in the service of his coun- 

 try, he gave gladly the best that was in him. He planned great 

 things for the rest of his school career and life, and those who 

 knew him best, know that science has lost a most promising 

 worker and the Academy has lost a very sincere friend.
