are highly appreciated by investigators as well as commercially. Pro- 
fessor Golden’s appreciation of the beautiful in nature and in art was 
greater than usually is the lot of the layman. Among those who have 
received most generously of his most willing aid, and who mourn him 
most sincerely, are the Sisters of St. Francis of St. Elizabeth Hospital, 
where he lectured and taught, planned and advised, taking of his own 
time unselfishly for this work. 
In June, 1916, Professor Golden was granted a leave of absence 
because of ill health, and he retired from the faculty in 1917. Professor 
Golden was a member of the Theta Xi fraternity, Indiana Academy of 
Science, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Soci- 
ety of Naval Engineers, and the Manual Training Teachers’ Association 
of America. He was a devout member of St. Mary’s Church and was 
for many years chancellor for the Knights of Columbus, relinquishing 
this post because of ill health. 
Since his retirement in 1916, he had devoted his time to traveling, 
in the hopes of benefiting his failing health. Professor Golden is sur- 
vived by three sisters: Miss Josephine Golden, 320 State Street, West 
Lafayette; Miss Helen Golden, professor in mechanical drawing at 
Purdue, and Mrs. Katherine Bitting of Washington, D. C. 
Professor Golden was the author of “A Laboratory Course in Wood 
Turning” and “Pattern Making Notes,” both used in the university as 
texts; “Shop Lecture Notes,” which were so used for years; “Pattern 
Making,”’ which he wrote for the International Correspondence School, 
and “Molding,” which he prepared for the same school. Besides these 
he has written brochures and pamphlets descriptive of “Purdue Uni- 
versity Shops,” “Tests of Ball Bearings,” and other engineering papers.
