Rhode Island BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Why you should take the Brown Alumni Monthly The price to alumni is only one dollar per annum — less than the cost. It keeps you informed of what is happening at Brown and also what is going to happen. It tells you what your classmates and friends are doing ; and chronicles the births, deaths and marriages among them. It gives you full reports on current sports and statistics of past athletic events. It publishes many interesting articles by alumni and wants one from you. It reaches about 2400 of the alumni, a larger proportion probably than any other college magzizine. It helps the University and the President in many ways — if you don't believe it, ask the President. A dollar is not much ; put it into a copy of the Monthly; it will make you happy for a year. We want your interest and your money — we can't get along without it. Please enclose a one-dollar bill with your full address to the BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY BROWN UNIVERSITY PROVIDENCE, R. 1.

Field COMMENCEMENT, 1915 The general impression is that the Brown Commencement of 1915 was the best in years. Class Day, it may be, did not attract quite as many attendants as in some for- mer Junes, but this may be accoiuited for by the fact that the fraternity houses, some of them at a consideralile distance from the campus, are now-a-days such social centres that a large number of people who would otherwise be present on the campus during the "Under the Elms" exercises prefer to take in the va- rious functions that the fraternity mem- bers give. Reference to this growing college problem will be found on the ed- itorial i)age of this number of the Alumni Monthly. One of the best features of Com- mencement week was the return to the old practice of holding the afternoon ex- ercises in a great tent on the campus. Previous to the erection of Sayles Hall in 1881, the exercises were held in a tent on the middle campus, but with the building of that convenient auditorium the tent idea was abandoned. This year a capacious canvas was set up on Lincoln Field — the back campus of other days — and as the day was fair and not exces- sively warm the large compan}' gathered under its sheltering folds was enabled to listen in comfort to the speakers who fol- lowed the Commencement lunch. It was generall}' agreed tl at the ac- oustic properties of the tent were supe- rior to those of Sayles Hall. Even those auditors who sat at the extreme rear of the tent could hear practically ever\ - thing that was said, while the space was larger, and it was evident that if there had been an overflow it could have been accommodated very easily outside the canvas, another advantage over condi- tions existing in the hall. The exercises themselves were of a high degree of excellence. In some for- mer years they have proved tedious. This year every address was attractive and none too long. President Faunce was in his happiest mood. His first sen- tence put him in touch with his audi- ence. He said : "We are tenting to- da\' on the old camp ground." He ad- ded that, judging from tiie appearance of the tent, it might easily be the one that was in use before Sayles Hall was built. Somebody suggests that a new tent should be presented to the University for i'uture Commencement exercises. Would a brown and white striped canvas be too garisli.^ The Lieutenant-Governor, who took the place of the Governor owing to the latter's absence in the West, was l)rief and elo([uent. President Finley, of the University of the State of New York, delivered one of the best addresses tiiat has been heard on the campus in years. Dr. Talcott Williams, Dean of the School of Journalism in Columbia Uni- versity, made a forceful speech in which he ga\ e a fine summary of the benefits of journalism and proclaimed what he called ''the new sovereignty'" — namely the sov- ereignty of humanity. President Wheeler, 'To, of the University of California, was unexpectedly present and closed the ex- ercises with an apt talk of a few mo- ments" length. The music was particu- larly good. A group of thirty or forty graduates, led by Berrick Schloss. "0-1, got together at the forward end of the tent and led the singing with much har- monious success. We sincerel}' hope that this tentative organization of glee club experts will be continued and be- come a regular feature of future Com- mencement ceremonies. The Commencement procession in the morning seemed to us to be the longest in the history of the college. The re- union classes greatly swelled it, while the graduating class was one of the largest on record. The nimiber of honorary de- grees conferred was smaller than usual, owing perhaps to the fact that so many were given at the 150th Anniversary 30 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 31 exei'cises last Octoher. Among these honorary degrees, it may not he invidi- ous to mention tiiat hestowed upon Pro- fessor Forhes of Phillips Andover Acad- emy, who is not only one of the best- known educators of New England, hut has for years been voted by the under- graduates at Andover the most popular professor there, and, during a recent year's absence of Principal Stearns, as- sumed and successfully maintained the headship of the academy. "Charlie"" Forbes stood first in the class of "90 at Brown and his classmates in particular rejoice at this recognition of his schol- arly qualities. Another interesting degree was that bestowed upon James Preston Wilson, of Youngstown, Ohio, one of the leading lawyers in that state, whose intrinsic merits richly deserved the honor granted, but who in addition has endeared himself to every loyal son of Brown by sending three of his own sons here. ( )n the day that the degree of A. M. was bestowed on Mr. Wilson, the youngest of his three boys received his first degree. Another Brown man who was happily honored on this occasion was Professor Bronson, to whom the degree of Lift. D. was given. Professor Bronson has a keen literary sense, is one of our best teachers and gave promise nearly thirty years ago of becoming a great poet — but unfortu- nately he has not much wooed the muse since. His fine class poem in 1887 is still remembered by all those who heard it. The habit of coming back to class re- unions is getting stronger. This year an actual count shows that between six and seven hundred former Brown men attended formal reunions of their classes. It is believed that the tendency in the future will be. more than ever before, toward annual gatherings of this sort. Men find, and very naturally, that the oftener they get together the more inter- ests they have in common and the more eager they are to return. The class of 1890. recognizing this fact rather be- latedly, voted at its reunion at Siiuanttun to hold an annual reunion from now un- til 19!i!0. It is an interesting fact that of the three strong candidates to fill the Epis- copal vacancy in the Board of Trustees, the one who received the largest number of alumni votes was Chafee, '80, who like Mr. Wilson of Ohio has sent three sons to Brown. The revival of the Phi Beta Kappa literar}' exercises on Tuesday was satis- factory from the point of view of the number in attendance. Sayles Hall was nearly or (luite three-quarters filled. The oration by John Bassett Moore, for- merly Assistant Secretary of State, who took for his theme, William L. Marcy, 1808, was a masterly and substantial addition to the rapidly accumulating mass of Brown"s historical literature. We hope that the society will hold another similar meeting not later than 1917. The impression made upon the alumni bv the new Arnold Biological Laboratory was very favorable. It is a welcome and attractive addition to the universi- ty's resources. Personally, we wish that some generous benefactor of Brown would come along and put up a more impres- sive front, at least, on the chemical lab- oratory, which seems to us to be archi- tecturally out of keeping with its neigh- boring buildings. We are not fussy about collegiate architectural conformit}' in general ; indeed there is something rather fascinating about these successive and differing periods represented on most college grounds. But, nevertheless, we should like to see a more harmonious sky line on the east side of our own middle campus. Dr. Faunce had a busy week. In ad- dition to his many and varied functions at the college, he was called upon to give the principal address on 'I'uesday at the Rhode Island State College in Kingston. His class, whose 35th reunion was held at Greene's farm in North Kingstown, seems to be especially fraternal and con- genial, and this year it had a marvellous BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY new song which concerned itself chieHy with "dear old Bill," as it irreverently called the President of the University. Judging from President Faunce's face when Ordway, '80, who was presiding officer of the tent exercises, called upon his classmates to sing this song for the benefit of the audience, "Bill" liked it. BROTHERHOOD (Delivered by Henry Robinson Palmer before the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Brown University. June 13. 1915) 1 Across the sea the tliunder runs From Europe's passion-throated guns — The guns of hate, tiie guns of blood. That shame our common brotherhood. Yet brotnerhood. aye brotherhood. Must make our desperate evils good. And maddened Karth be brought at length To know the beauty and the strength Of new-awaking, war-forsaking. Nation-shaking brotherhood. The politician draws his line Along the Danube and the Rhine; The boundary-maker drives his stakes Beside the blue Masurian lakes. Little they know or little care They plant the seeds of slaughter there; Little they reck of hate and blood And the stark shape of brotherhood. Yet brotherhood, aye brotherhood. Shall one day gather like a flood. And man shall list the sunrise larks Above his deluged boundary marks. 11 The schools have taught the stupid creed That breed must scoff its neighbor breed: A creed that builds on love's negation And makes a fetich of the nation. But in our wonder-woven veins We feel the beat of hostile strains: England and Prussia side by side Are borne upon their stormy tide; Prance it may be, and flax-haired Sweden; A complex host from many a coast. Back to unconiplex Eden. Who, who, is artful to invent A measure for each element;' What skill can seek the mystery out That wraps our origins about? What craft can unmix blood from blood, Label this bad and call that good? Alien with alien must abide, Tartar with Muscovite is tied; Though Rome is Rome, she's much beside. Upon our green New England streets The Present with the Dim Past meets. The bearded patriarch with his eye of blue Thinks he is English through and through; And yet his twin, like him devised and planned. Sits "neath a palm in Samarkand. Ill But still the unpersuaded schools Rehearse their theories and their rules. And far from battle's thunderous roar Proclaim the ennobling art of war. Remote from Flanders' wooded crest. Where lie the bonniest and the best. Where Youth has flung itself to sleep Upon the una waking steep. And Frenzy out of murderous guns Erects an altar for her sons. Is war, seen face to face, a bo(m ? — Who needs the answer here in June, LInvexed by war, where the red rose sways On its untroubled bough this day of days. And blue-skied summer overwhelms The unscarred branches of the elmsi' And who that sees the lads that tread These college walks would wish them dead — Dead that a manlier land might rise. And publish their red sacrifice? Is there no other way than war The heart to teach, the soul to scar? Go watch the swaying riveter who risks His life upon the tall steel obelisks; The unsung hero of the street. The brakeman in the blinding sleet. The mother in whose patient eyes Shines the clear light of sacrifice, The miner flinging life away Beneath the blessed world of day. The grave physician gladly spent. The nurse with black infection pent. The stoker at the furnace mouth. The stern explorer faring forth To win the guerdon of the North. And the new Northman at the Farthest South. We need not fear lest life should be Burdened by dull conformity When war is done and men are one And brotherhooti has new-begun: The years will bud and blossom still. Escaped from war's conforming drill, Duty will loom in place of Doom, Impetuous Courage still h:ive room. And blithe Variety find release To climb the enchanted paths of peace, IV Commerce hatli built herself a realm As sweeping as the sailor's helm. Within her all-embracing state No people can live separate. Her great republic leaps the barriers That hate would set about her carriers. She smiles to see the childish bound BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 33 It traces on her common ground. Her myriad messengers ignore The fastened gate, the unfriendly door. Within the hollow of her hands She holds the oceans and the lands. Her august fleets and armies probe The isolate precincts of the globe. And though the hour be not yet ripe. She is the world state's prototype. We love our fir woods flashing green. Our sapphire rivers swift between. Village and city all our own. And the bright flag above them blown. its striped folds proclaim its cost In matchless thousands loved and lost; And who of us that sees it flutter The throbbings of his heart can utter? Its simple loveliness outstrips The homage of our eyes and lips; It Hoats above the raaple-leaf. The memory-weighted hope of grief. The sculptor with his plodding mallet. The painter with his rainbow palette. The trumpet and its sounding strain. The tempest and the singing rain. The joy of childhood's ringing laughter That makes a home of hearth and rafter, The sweetest vale, the sternest crag. Shall not so stir us as the Flag! The Flag ! But shall it ever be The symbol of a sundering sea? Shall hatred hide and envy bluster Beneath its stripes and starry cluster? Too late — For P^arth hath cast her hosts Across our hospitable coasts. And what the Pilgrims called their own With East and West is intersown. And we are blood and we are bone — Forever knit, forever fast — Of the inextricable Past. VI Thus Time and Love and High Design Are leagued against the boundary line; Not the fair mete that justice needs. Or law requires or weakness pleads. Not the old bound of sentiment — England shall still be England; Kent shall still be Kent. But from the beginnings faint and vague That Peace hath fashioned at The Hague, And out of the dream that God hath dreamed Mankind shall one day be redeemed. And if proud Hamburg still must be Jealous of London on the sea. Or Glasgow watch with wishful eyes The mighty masts of Bremen rise. No more shall the murderous guns boom hate. The sword in its quiet sheath shall wait. For round the far. the impartial sea. Each forest-masted port shall be A port of the L^nion strong and free. The many-pillared state. VII Our children's children may not see This Ultimate Democracy. But soon or late the news shall run. As glatl and shining as the sun. That Earth hath drawn her chariest folk LTnder her light and loving yoke — A yoke for safety and a pledge Of individual privilege. Not for the high dynastic few. Not the old yoke of Rome anew — A yoke to serve man's private good. And save the stumbling multitude. A yoke to outdare our faint-heart prayer. And bind the world in brotherhood. DR. CORTHELL ENDORSED About two years ago Dr. Elmer L. Corthell, "67, wrote in the Outlook an interesting article descriptive of the value of the classics to him as an engi- neer. Apparent!}' commenting on this article, "Senex" writes as follows in the Hulletin of the Phillips Exeter Academy : "Dr. Elmer L. Corthell's 'Defence of the Classics" recalls the experience of a student in Phillips Exeter Academy a half century ago. His objective was admission to the bar, and it was not abandoned. He was accorded a scholarship, had charge of a church choir, kept the County probate rec- ords, made copies for the sheriff, sawed wood, and, in fact, more than paid his waj- for five terms, and no mem- ber of his class received a higher mark. "The fear of college debt, however, led him from the Academy into business. At the age of forty he entered the Law School, took the three years' course in two years, and his sheepskin bears 'Cum laude" in red letters. "Just here the benefit of classical study comes in. That youngster labored on Greek, in Abbot Hall, five hours a night during one entire winter, with the following result. Since that memorable winter he has been able to plug five, six, or more hours, with no difUculty, with the mental muscle laid on by the Greek grind, so long ago, an inestimable asset earned.

We believe this is the largest number on record. 1855 Five members of the class that gradu- ated 60 years ago dined at the Narragan- sett Hotel on Tuesdav evening. James diiaioPiis 0. 0)0)0 /85S — 'M^^'Mvic^t,a( S@ww,.-<3- erintendent of Grounds and Buildings was read and placed on file. It was re- ported by the President that Mr. Jesse L. Rosenberger of Chicago, who recently gave $7000 to found the Charles K. Col- ver Lectureship, had added $8000 more to his gift, making a lectureship of $10,000 in all. The thanks of the Cor- poration were presented to Mr. liosen- berger for his timely and valuable gift. Professor Francis G. Allison was appoint- ed Director of the Museum of Fine Art in Manning Hall, and John Shapley, Ph. U., now of Princeton, was appointed Instructor in Art. Leave of absence for the year 15)1.5 was x'oted to Professor Bigelow of the Department of Chemistr}'. The resigna- tion of Dr. Holt, Instructor of Chemistry, was received and Robert F. Chambers, Ph. D. was appointed Instructor in his place. Professor Perry B. Perkins was appointed Assistant Professor of Applied Physics, to gi\e instruction in pinsics and electrical engineering as well as in math- ematics next year. The budget for the year 1915-'16 was completed and approved. A special appropriation was made for the installa- tion of apparatus for wireless telegraphy on tne roof of Wilson Hall. A special appropriation was made for the reading of shelves in theUniversity Library during the summer, with directions that report as to the condition of the books shall be made to the Executive Committee at its first meeting in the autunni. An appro- priation was made for administration work to be performed during the summer in the Administration Building by mem- bers of the Connnittee on Registration and Attendance. The probable deficit to be faced at the close of the year was discussed, and in view of the deficit many requests for ap- propriations were declined. The use of various buildings, the reorganization of procedure and the introduction of more efficient methods in administrative work were subjects discussed until a late hour.

CLASS DAY evolution An evolution is taking place in Class Da}- that may be summarized, cause and effect, as follows : 1. The building or leasing of frater- nity houses, constituting nearh' a dozen social centres outside of the campus. 2. The change of Class Day from Friday to Monday, making it more diffi- cult to have exercises in the morning. 3. The disappearance of all morning exercises and their amalgamation with the afternoon exercises under the elms. 4. The crowding of all exercises un- der the elms b}' the establishment of fraternity teas in the various social cen- tres, making it necessary to put the af- ternoon exercises earlier and exposing the waiting multitude to the summer sun. 5. The transfer of the exercises from the front to the middle campus, where there is less shade. (i. The absence of Seniors from their own Class Day exercises in order to pre- pare fraternity houses for the coming teas, and the preference of both Seniors and alumni for social events in the fra- ternity houses in the afternoon rather than for the events under the elms. 7. The certainty that unless this ten- dency is checked Class Day will dwin- dle and vanish, and in its place will be fraternity day, leaving the campus to the non-fraternity men and that portion of the public that have no personal ac- (juaintance with the students. sons of a brown man in WAR In a private letter to a Providence classmate, dated May 24, 1915, I'rancis E. Bliss of the class of 1868, now long resident in England, with sons born and educated there, sa3'S that during the past nine months he has almost become accus- tomed to the loss of friends and acquaint- ances, so many of his young friends, school and university comrades of his sons, have perished in the present war. He lives in constant anxiety about his sons, three of whom are serxing in the British army, one as 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery, another as 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers, and the third as a private in the 28th London Regiment. He adds that it fills one with sadness to read the daily casualty lists, where one rarel}' fails to find the name of some officer with whom one is personally ac- quainted or of whom one knows. The very Hower of England's manhood and youth is being sacrificed. But he is proud of his sons, and would not have had them do otherwise than they have done: offered their services and their lives to their countr}'. The sympathy of every member of the class of 1868, of every friend of Bliss's college days, of every Brunonian, is sure ta go out to him in these sad days, with a fervent prayer that his sons may be spared.

During the early jiart of the evening Professor Poland, presented by Dean Randall, spoke in his happiest vein in appreciation of .Mr. Clark's long and faithful services and presented to him a sterling silver coffee pot as a gift from the fac- ulty. Mr. Clark responded appropriately and the meeting then resolved itself into an informal and most enjoyable social gathering. Popular Astronomy for May contains the fol- owing tribute by Mis.s V. E.

Alumni li(i9 The following notice of Hezekiah Smith, A. M, 171)9, through whose efforts some of the most important early contributions to the support of the College were obtained, was published in the Boston Gazette of Feb. 11. ISd.'i: "On Thurs- day week, Jan, 31, were interred with every mark of respect the remains of the Rev. Heze- kiah Smith, D. D., pastor of the Baptist church in Haverhill , and one of the p\'llows of Brown University, in the state of Rhode Island, At 2 o'clock the corpse was removed into the meeting house, where the Rev, Dr. Stilhnan, in a judic- ious and well adapted discourse, founded on Acts 13-.S6, addressed a very crowded and deeply af- fected audience. After the public services, the body, preceded by the Merrimack Humane so- ciety. Fire society, etc.. and followed by the mourners, neighboring clergy and a numerous procession of citizens, was conveyed to the still chambers of the dead. This amiable man was born on Long Island. State of New York. April 21. 1T37. He was a happy instance of early piety, as appears by his making a public profes- sion of religion before he was ninetee[i years old. He was a graduate of Princeton college, at which university he took his master degree in 176>), The year previous to this he visited New England and preached in various places, and among christians of various denominations, to general acceptance. His labors having been pe- culiarly blest to several in the town of Haverhill, a Baptist church was formed in 17(i.5. and I\Ir, Smith invited to take the pastoral charge. Yield- ing to their solicitations he was installed Nov, 12, 1776. He continued in the successful dis- 50 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 5] charge of his pastoral duties until the coramenoe- ment of the American Revolution. Though en- gaged in this sacred office, he did not relin()uish his rights as a citizen. He saw with deep con- cern the freedom of his country invaded and felt too sensiVily interested to remain a silent specta- tor. Therefore, while the storm was increasing. and the fate of the country hung in an awful suspense, his patriotic ardor compelled him to take a decided part. Accordingly in 1771) he accepted an appointment from congress as a chaplain in the amiy of the United States, in which service he continued until honorably dis- charged in 17HII. Such was his exemplary dig- nified behaviour during his residence in the army, as to gain him the highest confidence and esteem of the officers, as well as the most affectionate regards of the men. Often did he expose his own life to danger in the time of battle, whilst encouraging and animating the soldiers and in soothing the sorrows of the wountled and the dying. Having finished his term of engagement in the army, he returned to his beloved dock. and resumed again his pastoral functions. As a preacher IJr. Smith was equalled by few. His voice was strong and commanding and his man- ner solemn and impressive. In the endciring relations of husband, father, patriot, friend, he was faithful and most tenderly affectionate. He delighted in alleviating distress and in making- all around him happy. In the deatli of this good man, science has lost a most zealous friend ami patron. His unwearied exertions for the promo- tion of literature, as well as his personal dona- tions, are well known and will be long remem- bered. His family and fiock most sensibly feel his loss, as do his brethren in the ministry, whilst the town at large, many in the vicinity, and numerous circles of acquaintances, all min- gle their sympathizing tears. 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, from henceforth, yea. saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." A doc- tor's degree was I'onferred on him by the fellow- ship of Brown university in 1797." Theodore Uavid Warren died August (i. 191-t. He was born in Wethersfield. Conn..

Mrs. Fairfield soon after re- turned to Boston and was placed in charge of a new charity known as "The Home for Little 52 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY Wanderers." Her heart was early enlisted in foreign missions, her parents having been neigh- bors of Adonirara Judson. So when young Gushing- had consecrated his life to foreign mis- sion service he found in her one well fitted in heart and mind and experience to be his com- panion and helper in his great work in Burma. In September. l.SH(i. the month before they sailed from Boston. Mrs. Gushing joined the First Baptist church. Providence, of which Mr. Gushing had been a member for five years, and she remained in the fellowship of this church un- til she died. In the mission field she shared in her husband's self-denials, labors and successes. During a part of the forty years of his mission- ary experience, being unable to endure the cli- mate continuously, she was in this country car- ing for the education of their son and for an aged aunt, and for a long time she was the effi- cient preceptress of the missionary training school in Philadelphia. .\fter Dr. Gushing"s death she went again to Burma to complete some important literary work which her husband had undertaken and remained two or three years until compelled to return by a serious affection of the eyes.

A. h]. Scoville is 31 Toledo St., Adrian, Mich. 1 88.5 The New York Tribune lately said: "Coun- ty Judge Dike of Kings evidently believes that punishment does not come entucly by way of the courts. To a prisoner arraigned be- fore him for stealing jewelry he declared: "1 understand you promised to wei] the complainant in this case. 1 have seen her and I'm going to leave your punishment to her. You are going to get all that is coming to you — after you marry her. You'll see the force ot Kipling's line, "The female of the species is more deadly than the male.' I'm going to order you to marry this woman — and mav God have mercy on your soul!" It is with no intention of stirring up liti- gation that we point out the possibility that the learned judge's sentence is in conflict with the provisions of Article I, Section 5, of the Consti- tution of the State of New York. It is assuredly an unusual punishment; according to his own charge the judge evidently believed it to be a cruel one, even though just. True, he may have sentenced the prisoner to marriage to reform him, and though common experience with marriages for reform is that they are not entirely efficient, yet their average is probably as higii as that of the prisons and reformatories, so called. The philosophers have it that no great moral growth can be accomplished without sor- row .'ind suffering. It is just possible thai Judge Dike agrees with them and was determined to produce a moral uplift in this prisoner, even by extra-legal measures." 1893 Professor W. J. V. Osterhout, Professor of Botany at Harvard, has recently made the fol- lowing contributions in his field of science: "Stetige Aenderungen in der Formen von An- tagonismus-Kurven;" "The eft'ect of alkali on permeability;" "The effect of acid (ui permea- bilitv;" "Antagonism between aciils and salts;" "Normal and abnormal permeability;" "On the nature of antagonism;" "Extreme altera- tions of permeability without injury;" "On the 54 BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY decrease of permeability due to certain bivalent kations."

In 1SS9 he worked his way over to Europe on a cattle steamer, and toured England and the con- tinent on a bicycle, finally stopping at Rome, where he held for a time a position in the Amer- ican legation as secretary. In 190t he started an Italian B.iptist Church in Union avenue. Brook- lyn, but still he had to work hard to maintain himself. In 1910. Mr. Dietz learning of Man- gano"s struggles to build up an Italian Baptist Church in the Eastern District, gave $-,'0,000 tow.ard the building of a church as a memorial to his wife, who died in 19118. Mr. Mangano's work among the Italians has been attended with great success. It is being done under the aus- pices of the Baptist Extension Society In 1907 he married Miss Mabel F'arnham. daughter of Dr. E. P. Farnham. superintendent of the Bap- tist Church Extension Society. They have three children— Richard. Philip and .Arthur, aged re- spectively, seven, live and four years. BROWN ALUMNI MONTHLY 55 The Brooklyn Eagle says editorially of Charles D. Atkins anil his work: The annual meetins' of the Brooklyn Institute was a routine affair, involving' the expeetctl re-eleetion of President Healy. the promotion of Colonel Woodward to Mr. Sehieren's plaee and the usual routine mat- ters. The fact that the meeting passed thus quietly and tliat its finaneial and other showings were favorable is an assurance that Broooklyn"s most representati\e and creditable institution is in good hands and will go on growing antl broad- ening with the growth of the borough. Since the last annual meeting it has suffered the death of Professor Hooper, the man who developed it, and really gave his life to bring it to the high place of leadership and usefulness which it reached under him. At his death it is safe to say that the second thought of all Brooklynites who knew the unresisting labors which he had undergone was. "What will become of the In- stitute?" A new director was foimtl after a long period of deliberation, and it is under him that the good showing of this annual report has been achieved. It is a matter of course that a man coining from a different community, unfamiliar with Brooklyn and its needs, must have met difficulties in adapting himself to his new charge and in continuing a work which was so largely the outgrowth of one man's character as was our Institute. But if Mr. Atkins has met difficul- ties he has said nothing about them, but has kept still and sawed wooil. If his sawing has sometimes run to fourteen or fifteen hours a day. he has not drawn attention to that either. He was after results, and he has secured results of which he and his directors may be proud, and which will redound to the prosperity of the In- stitute and the extension of education among the people of Brooklyn, which is the Institute's reason for existence. There have been innova- vations. beginnings which suggest that the In- stitute will continue to expand without at the same time raising the fear of revolutionary methods. Brooklyn is to be congratulated that its chief civic institution has fallen upon shoul- ders broad enough and strong enough to carry the load without dropping it or letting it sag. 19(11 Byron L. .Smith married.
