LETTERS FROM COLLEAGUES AND STUDENTS 



"Professor Hopkins was a man whose qualities were universally 

 admired by his associates in the American Red Cross, and by all the 

 many Greeks with whom he came in contact. The service which he 

 rendered to Greece is almost incalculable, for he worked with tire- 

 less energy and with a full understanding of what each situation re- 

 quired. Certainly Greece has acquired no more devoted or unselfish 

 friend than Professor Hopkins, and his loss will be deeply mourned 

 by the large number who have come into contact with him. He was 

 a martyr to Greece, for the malaria which prostrated him must have 

 been caught during his trips about the country where malaria is the 

 curse of the people. 



"For his work and for his supreme sacrifice I admire him, and 

 I wish to join my tribute to the many he will receive from those who 

 knew him and appreciated him. He died in service, after giving 

 without stint everything he could give. He leaves the world a bet- 

 ter world for his having lived. 



"I send you my heartfelt sympathy for the loss which you have 

 sustained." 



Major Henry B. Dewing 

 Representing the American Red Cross in Greece 



"Deeply regret to hear of the death of the distinguished Professor 

 Hopkins. Greece loses a good friend whose valuable services she 

 intended again to avail herself of in the future. Kindly convey to 

 his family our heartfelt sympathy." (Cablegram) 



K. Spiridis 

 Minister of Agriculture, Greece 



"The death of the American Major Hopkins, recently announced, 

 has caused great grief to the Athens public. Our people have been 

 quick to recognize and appreciate the worth of the man, his zeal, and 

 the warm sentiments of friendship which he has displayed toward 

 Greece in rendering his great and valuable service as a member of 

 the American Red Cross in Greece.
