3111 itltlrmnriam PROF. WETHERELL--AS A MEMBER OF THE FACULTY KNEW HIM It was a rare spirit to whose memory this page has been devoted. I count it a peculiar privilege that for fifteen years- rich while they were being lived and richer in recollection--his life was intimately associated with mineg he was first my pupil, later my colleague, and always and increasingly my friend. And now, when all too soon for us that gracious life is ended, how vividly one recalls him as a teacher and as a man. He was a teacher of exceptional power. His stern devotion to accuracy in re- search and statement, and his enthusiasm in finding and imparting truth, were the de- votion and the enthusiasm of the scholar, and I doubt not that for years to come those qualities that made him in his class-room the leader that he was will mould the char- acters and enrich the lives of the students whom he taught. As a man he moved among us with a gentle strength. The spirit of helpfulness, quiet and unobtrusive, was instinctive in him, and many will miss-myself not least-his kindly, sympathetic service. Equally instinctive was the cleanness of his soul: it was easier to believe in goodness for having known him, and that, perhaps, is the supreme test. U And whether as teacher or as man, the secret of his nature was the same. Al- ways and everywhere he sought truth at its sources: Gettysburg was more real to him and to his pupils for his visit to the field: he broadened his outlook upon life through loving study of the poets and the seers. Surely we need not wholly mourn that so clear a mind, so pure a heart, has passed to the Source of sources in the beauty of its prime. CHARLES B. WRIGHT. PROFESSOR WETHERELL-AS THE STUDENTS KNEW HIM Through a gradual recognition of what he was, we have come to know Prof. Wetherell as a man of deep convictions and noble purposes. Everything in his life was subordinated to the attainment of the ideal of perfect manhood, which was constantly before him. We believe that it was this very unity of purpose and con- viction that constituted the essence of his power, for his utterances were the product Of a sincere soul which could not but speak that which he hesitatingly affirmed, but were facts of his own vital experience which he had appropriated to himself through painstaking effort. His pupils had faith in what he said because he did, and the charity of his thoughts and the force of his logic, compelled the conviction which his sincerity prompted. His sympathy with the individual problems of the student, his large-mindedness, and humble simplicity, won the confidence and admiration of his pupils. These qualities combined to produce in him a man of the most noble type, and one eminently fitted to mould the ideals and standards of the younger generation of American citizens. X RICHARD H.
