60 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SAINT LOUIS MEETING 



attended the meetings of State Geologists, of the Conservation Congress, 

 and of the Southern Commercial Congress. While at the University of 

 Arkansas he was made a teacher member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. 

 In 1907 he was elected to the Stanford chapter of Sigma Xi. The com- 

 mencement following his resignation as Professor of Geology at the Uni- 

 versity of Arkansas that institution conferred on him the degree of 

 LL. D. There was no recognition that he prized more highly than his 

 election, in 1911, to the Council of the Geological Society of America. 

 He was President of the Tennessee Academy of Sciences at the time of 

 his death and was already considering possible subjects for the next 

 annual address. 



As a citizen, Mr. Purdue was always public-spirited, entering in large 

 degree into the life and activities of the place of his home and of the 

 State at large. In Nashville, besides his interest in the Commercial Club 

 he was* active in other civic and social clubs, including the Eotary, 

 Freolac, Tennessee Plistorical Society, Nashville Engineering Society, 

 Eeynolds Lodge, Knights of Pythias ; Phoenix Lodge, Free and Accepted 

 Masons, and was a generous subscriber to the work of various organiza- 

 tions. His home, with two boys now of college age, was always a place 

 for real Southern hospitality, for Purdue had a large sense of humor and 

 a live personal interest in the welfare of all of his friends, and a wife 

 whose intellectual attainments and personal charms not only added to the 

 welcome of the home, but were a constant inspiration to the man. 



There is appended a list of titles of papers and addresses, including 

 several prepared but not yet published.
