270 The American Geologist. November, looi. 
and the manuscript was fortunately in such form that it can bs 
sent to press, for it represents a splendid piece of work, and 
one at which he had labored almost unceasingly. He also had 
nearly com])leted a paper on the petroq-raphy of the rocks 
around Mt. Desert, Afe. 
Always an active church member, he decided in 1900 to 
give almost his entire time to philanthropic work among 
boys and young men. He was especially interested in boy's 
clubs, and with his own ample means was engaged in estab- 
lishing a boy's club known as the Gordon House at the time of 
his death. Indeed it was his untiring devotion to this cause 
which so taxed his strength that when taken ill, he had no 
vitality left with which to combat the disease. 
Dr. White was a man of great energy and perseverance, 
and never left a piece of work until he felt that everything had 
been done towards its completion which was possible, and it 
is most sad that his life should have been cut off when he was 
entering upon a most promising career. 
He was a fellow of the Geological Society of America, the 
New York Academy of Science, Torrey Botanical Club, Amer- 
ican Association for the Advancement of Science, New York 
Mineralogical Club, and other organizations. For two years 
prior to his death he served as secretary of the geological sec- 
tion of the New York Academy of Science. 
He frequently contributed to various periodicals and a list
