London as a United States Army Student at the Imperial College of 

 the University of London. There he spent four months, and also did 

 some work at the Rothamsted Experiment Station. 



June 26, 1919, he married Miss Eileen Jessie Whitehead, also a 

 botanist and a member of the graduating class of the University of 

 London. 



Returning to America in July,. Mr. Grimes was honorably dis- 

 charged from the army in August and soon after was appointed As- 

 sociate Professor of Botany in the College of William and Mary at 

 Williamsburg, Virginia. Here, until the time of his death, he conducted 

 courses in General Botany, Taxonomy, Bacteriology, Plant Physiology, 

 Plant Pathology, and Soils. Even his spare time he put to use in the 

 .field and made what is perhaps the largest and most complete collec- 

 tion of Virginia plants ever gathered. With this collection he has left 

 his characteristic full and accurate notes so that the material may 

 readily be worked up for publication. 



In addition to being a member of the Indiana Academy of Science, 

 which he joined in 1908, Mr. Grimes was also a member of the American 

 Association for the Advancement of Science, American Society of Bac- 

 teriologists, Sigma Xi, and a charter member of the Association of 

 Virginia Biologists. In his honor the students of biology at the College 

 of William and Mary have joined his name with that of a great 

 botanical collector of colonial days as the name of the biological society 

 Mr. Grimes helped found — The Clayton-Grimes Biological Club. 



In his death there passed an inspiring and sympathetic teacher, a 

 tireless worker, a keen and accurate observer, a great botanist in the 

 making. 



Patient, persistent and determined, his brief span of life was one 

 of achievement despite obstacles. It serves as a means of awakening 

 us to the possibilities of human power — an inspiration to effective ex- 

 ertion.
