confidence of ready and willing response. Nothing which promised to be 

 helpful to others was a trouble. Few have exemplified better than he the 

 beauty of orderliness. Books, papers, instruments, and his store of knowl- 

 edge were all at his ready command, and nothing with which one had to 

 do, either of facts or things tangible, was ever out of place. 



" He was a ready writer and a well-known contributor to botanical litera- 

 ture, and all his work is marked by minute care, as well as by broad culture 

 and great power for original research and reflection, for he was broad and 

 liberal in all his thoughts and in all his dealings, and nothing that he 

 undertook was left without new additions with permanent scientific 

 value. 



" To overwork, and a consequent lowered state of health, may probably be 

 attributed the lamentable catastrophe of his death. In spite of warning 

 and against the wishes of one whose pleasure and comfort were always of 

 supremest moment, he went because the duty of going seemed too plain 

 to resist, and then he fell ; a loss to the university which the memory 

 of his character and example lightens but little ; a loss to his more intimate 

 friends which nothing but the hand of unfeeling time will remove ; a 

 bereavement to those yet nearer to him upon which we must not intrude, 

 except in sympathy."
