Trustee,  loses  in  him  one  of  its  best-known,  most  able  and  respected  friends,  and  his 
associates  in  the  Faculty  one  of  their  oldest  and  most  honored  members. 
"  Rosolnjed^  That  while  we  lament  his  death  we  recall  with  satisfaction  his  long, 
laborious  and  useful  life,  his  devotion  to  the  best  interests  of  his  profession,  his  num- 
berless acts  of  charity  and  philanthropy,  and  the  warm  affection  and  earnest  respect 
which  he  ever  inspired  among  those  who  were  brought  in  any  relations  with  him. 
Full  of  years  and  of  honors,  his  loss  leaves  a  vacancy  in  our  ranks  which  cannot  be 
filled. 
^''Resolved.,  That  we  tender  to  the  family  of  the  deceased  our  sincere  condolence 
upon  the  sad  bereavement  which  has  removed  from  the  domestic  circle  its  beloved 
head."
