in his regard. Similarly, his experience and his influence widened ; but 

 those who had the privilege of intimacy with him found that his tastes and 

 convictions, his fundamental attitude to life, changed remarkably little from 

 those of his student-days. It may be that a rather prematurely cautious 

 and reticent habit of mind had hampered his earlier career. 



His stature was small, his manner quiet and unimpressive, and he had no 

 great natural gift of vividness or eloquence in public speaking, though he 

 became a clear and effective lecturer to students. These things, with his 

 hesitation in committing himself definitely to the work for which he was best 

 adapted, rather delayed the recognition which was only beginning to come to 

 him in proper measure when he died. AVith health and opportunity, he would

 of his wife's brave and buoyant comradeship, through times of hesitation and 

 disappointment, of success and recognition, and, finally, of stubborn fight 

 against ill-health, is inseparable from his memory. His widow, his sisters, 

 and his young daughter will have, in their sad loss, the sympathy of all who 

 knew him, and especially of that smaller group, who, through years of 

 intimacy, had come to know and to prize the steadfast affection, the quiet 

 but unwavering loyalty to ideals and convictions, which were outstanding 

 features of a fine character.
