tory  for  research  was  established  in  connection  with  the  botanical 
gardens  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  where,  in  association  with  Dr.  Trelease, 
he  entered  upon  a  line  of  work  thoroughly  congenial  to  him.  The 
country  suffers  a  distinct  loss  in  the  cutting  short  of  so  promising  a 
career  of  usefulness. 
Mr.  Nagelvoort  was  a  man  of  pronounced  personality.  His  ideals 
were  beyond  the  comprehension  of  a  commercial  age  like  ours,  and 
no  consideration  of  personal  advantage  ever  influenced  him  to  sacri- 
fice one  iota  of  them.  No  doubt  he  was  not  sufficiently  tolerant 
sometimes  of  the  views  of  those  with  whom  he  was  associated,  but 
his  supreme  regard  for  honesty  and  his  absolute  independence  of 
action  gained  for  him  universal  respect. 
In  Athens,  more  than  two  thousand  years  ago,  Diogenes  sought 
in  vain  for  a  single  honest  man.  They  are  not  less  rare  in  this 
enlightened  day  and  age,  but  those  who  knew  J.  B.  Nagelvoort  were 
sure  that  honesty  was  incarnate  in  him.
