sion, he was called on to meet — bankers, lawyers, and men of large business 

 affairs — his influence was deep and ever increasing. His election as president 

 of the company in March, 1914, was recognized as a well-earned tribute to 

 his ability and his devotion to the interests committed to his care. 



Loyal to his friends and associates, loyal to those who trusted their inter- 

 ests to him, loyal always to his own high ideals, well and truly does he deserve 

 the tribute expressed in the following telegram sent by Mr. Huntington to 

 the company: — 



"Mrs. Huntington and I are distressed beyond expression at the death of 

 Mr. Hopkins. We believe the company and all the employees share our 

 sorrow and will mourn the loss of a splendid officer and a noble man." 



To those who knew him best, to his friends and associates of many years, 

 the tidings of the Lusitania disaster brought a sure message — well they knew 

 that the gentle, kindly courtesy, the ever-present, instinctive disposition to 

 serve others before considering himself, would unfailingly include him among 

 those who died that others might live. 



In June, 1906, Mr. Hopkins was married to Miss May Davies, of Chase 

 City, Va., who, with their daughter. May Davies Hopkins, survives him. 

 He is also survived by his mother, of Glens Falls, N. Y., and his brother, 

 Charles E. Hopkins, of Hudson, N. Y. 



He was a member of Council of this Society, a member of the Ameri- 

 can Society of Naval Engineers, the American Academy of Political and 

 Social Science, and an associate member of the American Society of Civil 

 Engineers.
