 New and Little-Known Diatoms from Beaufort, N. C. Paper read before 18th An-

His younger colleague in the Biological department of Trinity- 

 College, Professor Bert Cunningham, is able because of an intimate 

 acquaintance of several years, to render an opinion based upon the 

 sure ground of daily intercourse, and a consequent thorough knowl- 

 edge of Dr. Wolfe's character as a man, a scholar and a gentleman. 



"He was a perfectly frank, straightforward man, always avoiding, 

 if possible, the hurting of another; kind, patient, considering the 

 other man more than himself, and never in any way seeking retalia- 

 tion for wrongs done him; interested in civic welfare, and especially 

 devoted to the relief of suffering. 



"As a teacher, he was exceptionally well-grounded by knowledge 

 much broader than his field; accurate and exacting in the classroom 

 and laboratory; a leader and stimulator of thought on the part of 

 his students; a personal friend and adviser to them. 



"As an investigator he was exceedingly accurate and painstaking, 

 endeavoring to get the 'last word' of a subject before laying it down; 

 keen in seeing methods for the attack of problems and in recognizing 

 the relations of a problem to the whole problem of life; and excep- 

 tionally careful in his writing that there might be no ambiguity. 



" I am incompetent to write a eulogy for this splendid man. Words 

 fail w^hen I try to express my appreciation. To have lived with him 

 and worked with him has been a great opportunity that I shall ever 

 appreciate. To be without his judgment, guidance and friendly 

 counsel is an irreparable loss." 



His fellow-members of the Academy of Science, recognizing the 

 justice and truth of the testimony quoted, desire to express their 

 concurrence with it, and to render respectful homage to the fine 

 qualities of mind and heart possessed by Dr. W^olfe, together with a 

 keen and sorrowful regret that his useful life should have been so 

 untimely cut off.
