His scientific interest was displayed in a long series of papers 
read before the Baconian Club of the University. Among the 
subjects most often appearing are Meteorology (he was for many 
years the U. S. observer at Iowa, City), The Application of Sta- 
tistical Methods to Biological and Sociological Problems, Aero- 
nautics ; Projectiles, Gfeodesy and Acoustics. He was also an 
enthusiastic and successful photographer. 
Those who were so fortunate as to know him will long remem- 
ber him as a man of genial wisdom and unsurpassed courage. 
This courage he proved in expeditions for .zoological purposes 
with C. C. Nutting and F. Russell, in his fight for purity in 
athletics and in the perfect serenity of his bearing in the face of 
the incurable disease which carried him away too soon.
