February  P?giT'  }  Memorial  Meeting  to  Professor  Remington.  85 
eloquent,  clean-hearted  and  clear-minded,'  possessed  of  unusual 
natural  ability  coupled  with  rare  executive  capacity,  he  served  his 
day  and  generation,  loyally  and  enthusiastically,  and  left  a  record 
of  achievement  that  may  well  serve  as  an  example  to  future 
generations. 
Just  a  personal  note:  Professor  Remington  was  gifted  with  a 
charming  personality.  His  courtesy,  his  tact,  his  ability  to  adapt 
himself  to  all  types  of  people,  made  friends  of  all  those  he  met, 
while  his  strong,  clean  intellect  served  to  inspire  them.  The  mean- 
ing of  his  departure  from  life  may  be  expressed  in  the  following 
lines  from  S.  Weir  Mitchell's  beautiful  poem,  'Evening': 
"  I  know  the  night  is  now  at  hand, 
The  mists  lie  low  on  hill  and  bay, 
The  autumn  sheaves  are  dewless,  dry, 
But  I  have  had  the  day. 
Yes,  I  have  had,  dear  Lord,  the  day : 
When  at  Thy  call  I  have  the  night, 
Brief  be  the  twilight  as  I  pass 
From  light  to  dark,  from  dark  to  light." 
Resolved,  that  this  appreciation  be  entered  upon  the  minutes 
of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  a  copy  sent  to  the 
family  of  the  deceased.
