RESOLUTIONS xxxi 



how sad must be the parting, and to them we can offer much 

 in comfort and consolation. 



Tribute of Regent Lord 



We meet this morning in profound sorrow because of the 

 departure from us, to return no more, of our friend and co- 

 worker, Regent Shipman. I am sure that we all had come

 friend and a cherished companion.

 with him to this office a full appreciation of its importance 

 and a keen sense of personal responsibility in the discharge 

 of its duties. During his term of service, cut short by death, 

 he evinced, by the study of every question and patient atten-
