IN MEMORIAM.

there was no lack of what that should include the unprejudiced, 

 reasonable position, at all times, toward all views. He was a genial, 

 loyal friend, a man of high ideals, of great courage and strong faith, 

 and especially a man of full and ready sympathy. I never knew a

We shall sadly miss him in the world of science, but the memory 

 of his true, brave, eager spirit, with his great love for truth and his 

 ready sympathy toward all, will be an uplifting and an abiding force 

 to all who knew him.

 November, 1897. From this source the following extract embodies 

 the sentiments of Professor Humphrey's colleagues at the Marine 

 Biological Laboratory : 



" Professor Humphrey's value in the department of instruction under his 

 charge in this university increased rapidly and steadily during his three 

 years of service, until he became the essential factor in its success. Pupils 

 and colleagues soon learned to draw upon his well-ordered store of knowl- 

 edge and to trust his judgment, which ever proved sound and accurate. 

 His boundless patience and care as teacher gave assurance and encourage- 

 ment to his pupils, who soon learned to seek his advice in well-founded
