LETTERS FROM COLLEAGUES AND STUDENTS 



"His enthusiasm, painstaking labor in his search for truth, and his 

 ability as a teacher both in the classroom and in the agricultural press 

 were exceptional. Illinois has by his death lost one of her most use- 

 ful citizens and American agriculture one of its men of highest mark." 



William Frear 

 Vice-Director and Chemist, Pennsylvania Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station; Chemist, 

 State Department of Agriculture 



"We are extremely sorry to learn of the death of Dr. Hopkins 

 and know that it is a great blow to Illinois. However, he had built 

 up a lasting work and this work will continue to become of even 

 greater importance." 



H. H. Love 



Professor of Plant Breeding, New York College of 

 Agriculture and Agricultural Experiment Station 



"The world has lost a strong man, one who has given much to 

 the science and practice of agriculture. He died in service as he 

 would want to and in a field of work near to his heart. I believe 

 that I, having been over there, can see as but few others can the great 

 mental strain that comes to a man who ventures assistance to those 

 destitute, simple, but noble people." 



C. P. Bull 



Associate Agronomist, Minnesota College of Agri- 

 culture and Agricultural Experiment Station 



"The cause of scientific agriculture has lost one of its foremost 

 leaders, and on behalf of the farmers of the Middle West, I extend 

 to you and your colleagues my heartiest sympathy."
