46 PROCEEDIXGS OF THE SAIXT LOUIS MEETING 



required for him to bring his reports to what he considered a proper 

 finish. 



As his geological assistant through 12 years of field and office work, 

 the AATiter can testify to the kindly interest and cordial cooperation of 

 Arnold Hague in the work of the beginner, and the writer wishes to take 

 this opportunity to express his gratitude for valuable advice on critical 

 occasions and for most liberal treatment in the matter of individual 

 research and independent publication of material investigated under the 

 charge of his chief while in the Yellowstone National Park and elsewhere. 



The last years of Doctor Hague's life were spent quietly in Washington 

 and Newport, Ehode Island, his health and strength declining gradually. 

 At the Albany meeting of the Geological Society, on a stormy night, when 

 the pavements were covered w^ith ice, he fell and struck his head, losing 

 consciousness for some time. Although he appeared to have recovered 

 from this accident, his death came suddenly the following May, on the 

 fourteenth, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. He was laid to rest in 

 the Albany Rural Cemetery with other members of his family, and near 

 by are the graves not only of his brother James, but of James Hall, 

 Ebenezer Emmons, R. P. Whitfield, Charles S. Prosser, and other men 

 of science. 



The spirit of Arnold Hague seems to have been in accord with the 

 tranquillity of a Chinese proverb he was fond of quoting when in the 

 mountains : 



"He who dwells 'midst the turmoil of cities and towns 

 Knows not the quiet of rivers and lakes."
