Transl NVC ACS Sti: 58 Feb. 11, 
student, when done with Professor MARTIN’S immediate instruction, 
went away a well-furnished man, often surprising his seniors in age 
and acquirements by his stock of general information, so well assorted 
and so easily available. 
That Professor MARTIN was a great thinker, his published essays 
prove; that he was a great teacher, more than a thousand pupils 
affirm ; but more than thinker, more than teacher, he was great in 
those higher attributes which gain for a man not merely the respect, 
but also the love, of those with whom he is brought into contact. 
Though knowing no fear of man in his defence of principle, his great 
heart was overflowing with kindness. Throughout his life, his was a fit- 
ting exemplification of the religion which commands—‘‘ Do ye unto 
others as ye would that they should do to you.” Like his great Master, 
he literally went about doing good. When he conferred a favor, he im- 
posed no obligation; he demanded not gratitude, and, therefore, 
seldom failed to receive it. Wherever good could be done, he was 
there to do it. He visited the sick in hospitals ; he carried sunshine 
into many a dreary tenement; he lifted the load from many a weary 
heart. He believed, in his practice, that ‘‘ pure religion, and undefiled, 
is to visit the widow and fatherless, and to keep one’s self unspotted 
from the world.” J. J. STEVENSON, for the Committee.

REMARKS. 
Rev. Dr. E. P. THWING expressed a deep sense of his own personal 
loss. Dr. MARTIN was a many-sided and well-developed man; a 
gentleman by birth, by instinct, and by culture. In his early life he 
took a pulpit ina New England village, not far from Dr. THWING’S 
birthplace, and became prominent for his useful service. He also 
had a successful intellectual contest with an older clergyman of that 
place,a man of great dignity and weight, in which the youthful and 
the aged athletes were compared to a sword-fish and a _ whale. 
The young preacher’s mind was clear, incisive, brilliant, and grew 
with years in strength and moral power. Dr. THWING desired to offer 
also a father’s grateful tribute to the faithfulness of Prof. MARTIN 
as an instructor and example to his own two sons in the University. 
Happy indeed was he who taught by his life as well as with his lips. 
Dr. THWING had been associated with his lamented brother for 
years as a clergyman, in clerical bodies. To know him was to love 
him. He expressed profound interest in certain experiments in the 
science of Psychology. But the work of the scholar, the teacher, and 
preacher, was suddenly ended. We would drop, however, this gar- 
land of amaranth on his fresh grave, in full assurance that his unend-
