MEMOIR OF W. G. TIGHT 21 



His preparations were so complete in every respect that the Society expressed 

 itself in a formal vote of thanks at the concluding session. In connection with 

 this meeting he organized a very instructive and enjoyable excursion to the 

 Sandia Mountains and another to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado." 



Probably this meeting was one of the brightest occasions of his life. 



While in Ohio he was active in the State Academy of Science, and 

 served one year as its president. For a number of years he edited the 

 BulletiQ of Denison University, and aided in every way in his power the 

 advancement of science in his university and state. In 1905 he was 

 chairman of the Cordilleran Section of the Geological Society. 



He was public spirited, and wherever located gave freely of his time 

 in an3rthing that promised to advance the community. 



Personally he was affable and retained much of the enthusiasm of 

 youth after he had reached man's estate. Always accommodating, he 

 was loyal to friends, with the minimum of resentment to enemies.
