xxxii RESOLUTIONS 



always frank and outspoken in debate. Regent Shipman was 

 an untiring student, and a scholar of wide and varied attain- 

 ments, with much opportunity for travel and large acquain- 

 tance with men and affairs. As a lawyer he stood in the first 

 rank of the profession; and in the recent Constitutional Con- 

 vention he did most important work. As an associate and 

 co-worker in this Board I need not say to you that his effi- 

 ciency, geniality and consideration endeared him to us all.

It was with keen personal regret that I learned of the loss of 

 our friend, Regent Shipman. I have personally known him 

 for many years and respected and esteemed him for his great 

 ability, his industry and his high character and ideals. It 

 has been my pleasure to have served with him upon many of 

 the committees of this Board, and thus to acquaint myself 

 with the care and consideration which he gave to all his work 

 and with the absolute fairness and impartiality of his mind and 

 with the clearness of his judgment. He was a real lover

 problems connected with the training of the young and the 

 education of the elders for the professions, were to him tasks 

 he esteemed as of the highest order and to which he was 

 always ready to give his time, his best thought and his ability. 

 His loss will be a personal one to all of us, as well as a great 

 one to the cause of education and to the State. He found time 

 to serve as a member of the recent Constitutional Convention, 

 and there rendered great service not only in the cause of educa- 

 tion but in all the problems connected with the administration 

 of justice and other public matters.

Regent Shipman came to our Board a stranger to me, ex- 

 cept that I had known of him as a scholarly lawyer of high 

 repute, who was a member of a well-established law firm in 

 New York City. After he became a member of our Board, 

 he served upon committees with me, as well as upon the Board, 

 and I came to value highly his judgment in matters as to 

 which we had responsibility. He was so faithful, so modest, 

 so scholarly, so considerate, so helpful, that our relations
