Clarence Luther Herrick — Tight. 1 7 
That resulted in his being employed on the survey, and 
in his working up some of our material. After his departure 
for Granville I only knew of him by his publications. But 
the fruition and the scientific acumen displayed in his writ- 
ings fully bore out the estimate I formed when I first 
came to know him. He has left a beautiful and honorable 
record of which his children may be proud. 
N. H. Wine he I /r 
"*'*.*! cannot resist the desire of saying a word 
concerning Dr. Herrick's later years in New Mexico. 
When I went to the southwest it was Dr. Herrick's pres- 
ence that drew me thither. For several years I knew him

from his bed. within an hour after a hemorrhage from 
the lungs, to tramp across the foot-hills to his work. They 
see the report of a geological reconnaissance ; but not trie 
writer struggling up a steep mountain slope, straining 
every nerve and muscle, until he feels the approach of 
another hemorrhage; dropping at last with exhaustion to 
wait for what he believes to be the end, and lying there 
. on a hastily made bed. under a drifting snow, through a 
night so cold that all the provisions were frozen, but 
rising nex* morning to press on through one of the worst

I have seen and marveled that human endurance could
