OF MORRIS LOEB xxiii 



centre of chemical influence in the country; he provided for 

 the establishment of a museum of rare and typical substances 

 to be maintained by the American Chemical Society; and, 

 most important of all, he bequeathed a fund of $500,000 

 to be used eventually by Harvard University for the fur- 

 therance of the sciences of chemistry and physics. 



These provisions, like many of his earlier benefactions, 

 will bear blessings far into the future; the fruit of his contribu- 

 tions to the welfare of humanity will multiply. 



In Morris Loeb's life and character our country and 

 Harvard University have a right to take deep pride. Up- 

 right, unselfish, generous, loyal, sincere, wise, and modest, he 

 set a noble example; his memory is treasured by all who had 

 the privilege of knowing him. When those too have left this 

 earthly life, he will be kept in remembrance by his great gifts 

 to science and to charity, and be honored by many generations 

 in the years to come.
