102     Memorial  Meeting  to  Professor  Remington.  { Apeb-^y P£>5l? 
and  moral  plane  upon  which  he  kept  his  stories  and  his  thought. 
He  never  sought  nor  liked  it  when  tainted  and  never  passed  it  along. 
The  passing  of  this  brilliant  life  has  left  a  vacancy  hard  to  fill, 
yet  one  of  his  life  passions  and  greatest  pleasures  has  been  to  teach 
others  and  he  went  without  a  fear  for  the  future  of  pharmacy,  for  he 
knew  that  thousands  all  over  the  world.  '  his  boys/'  would  carry  on 
the  work  he  loved.  Thus  his  last  and  probably  greatest  lesson  to  us 
is  that  by  giving  one's  self  one  may  attain  immortality. 
Dr.  S.  P.  Stout,  a  graduate  of  the  college,  spoke  as  follows: 
I  met  Professor  Remington  frequently,  especially  during  col- 
lege days,  but  during  the  last  three  or  four  years  I  met  him  as  man 
to  man.  The  last  time  I  saw  him  was  in  his  home  last  spring. 
After  we  had  finished  our  business.  I  said,  ''I  expect  to  go  to  war.' 
His  face  lighted  up  and  he  said.  '  I  would  like  to  go  with  you. 
When  I  get  rid  of  this  '''plumbago'''  (he  jokingly  called  it  thaO 
perhaps  I  will  be  all  right  again."  I  told  him  I  was  going  in  the 
Roosevelt  Division,  and  he  gave  me  a  wonderful  insight  into  Roose- 
velt's character. 
I  came  to-day  because  I  have  a  telegram  in  my  pocket  direct- 
ing me  to  one  of  the  military  camps  in  a  few  days.  I  want  to  add 
my  tribute.  Such  men  as  he  have  done  and  are  doing  a  great  deal 
to  keep  the  professions  of  medicine  and  pharmacy  on  a  high  stand- 
ard where  they  belong.  President  "Wilson  said  we  are  entering 
this  war  to  make  the  world  safe  for  democracy.  These  men  have 
toiled  to  make  the  world  safe  for  professional  men.  There  are  too 
many  charlatans  and  quacks  who  are  trying  to  make  gain  out  of  the 
misfortunes  of  others.  Many  of  you  have  to-day  spoken  of  Maisch, 
Remington.  Wood  and  Trimble.  In  the  immortal  words  of  Lincoln: 
'  It  is  for  us.  the  living,  to  be  here  dedicated  to  the  great  task 
remaining  before  us,  that  from  these  honored  dead  we  take  in- 
creased devotion  to  the  cause  to  which  they  gave  the  last  full  measure 
of  devotion.' 
Lastly.  Professor  F.  X.  Moerk.  professor  of  analytical  chemistry 
of  the  college,  paid  his  tribute  to  Professor  Remington: 
My  personal  knowledge  of  Professor  Remington  dates  back  to 
the  session  of  1880-81,  when  Mr.  Charles  F.  Kramer,  then  a  senior 
student,  took  me  to  the  college  one  evening,  and  I  first  saw  Pro-
