No. 45° ] CHARLES EMERSON BEECHER. 417 



Quiet, unassuming, modest in a very marked degree, simple, 

 without affectation, entirely free from all eccentricities, conscien- 

 tious and painstaking in every thing he had to do. In the 

 words of Professor Chittenden, Director of the Sheffield Scien- 

 tific School ^ " .... to those who knew Professor Beecher inti- 

 mately no words of appreciation will be deemed too extravagant, 

 for close association only brought more clearly to view the 

 many mental traits that testified to the strength of character 

 and of mind that helped to make Professor Beecher one of the 

 strong men of the Scientific School." 



Beecher was eminently successful as a teacher, as cN-inccd by 

 the devotion of his pupils and the able papers iMocluced h)- stu- 

 dents under his charge. 



Always ready to help with advice, or specimens, he was an 

 appreciative audience, a helpful critic, a warm friend with keen 

 interest in his friends and their work. He will be deeply 

 missed as a friend, and his untimely death deplored as a loss to 

 the science in which he made such a brilliant mark.^
