PARK AND CEMETERY. 
PERSONAL MENTION. 
Charles Mulford Robinson, of Rochester, 
N. Y., who is well known as an author and 
authority on city planning, has been ap- 
pointed professor of civic design of Illinois 
University at Urbana, 111., and has the 
honor of being the first incumbent of a uni- 
versity chair on that special subject in the 
country. Courses in civic design have been 
instituted in many of the universities of 
Europe, but the University of Illinois is the 
first American institution to adopt the idea. 
Mr. Robinson has for many years been 
recognized as an authority on the subject 
he is to teach at Urbana. He was one of 
the first men to make a serious study of the 
subject when it was taken up by students 
in this country. He has written several 
books on Civic study, and his “Modern 
Civic Art,” and “The Improvement of 
Towns and Cities” are regarded as stand- 
ard works. He has also made a number 
of important municipal reports on city 
planning and civic betterment for cities in 
different parts of the country. He will still 
continue this outside work and will still 
make his home in Rochester, making trips 
of three or four weeks’ duration to the 
Illinois college, to direct the work of which 
he is the head. 
OBITUARY. 
Joseph Sharp, for nearly half a century 
superintendent of Oakland Cemetery at 
Princeton, 111., died recently. All of his 
life Mr. Sharp has been connected with the 
work of Oakland Cemetery, first acting as 
assistant to his father, and for the last 
forty-nine years having full charge of the 
silent city. His whole life has centered 
around Oakland and he devoted the best 
of his time and thought to making it a 
most beautiful place. He planted nearly 
all the trees in the cemetery and witnessed 
their growth with the keenest enjoyment.
