of loneliness and sadness, for in his going there is to each one of us a personal loss inestimable. Our only consolation is, that he is not leaving us for another institution, but that he is retiring while he is yet comparatively young and able to enjoy the benefits of a life so nobly and honorably devoted. To Dean Gregory, we express the deepest regrets in behalf of the Law College ; of the University and student body ; of the State : and of the alumni throughout this Commonwealth and country, who have learned of his resigna- tion. And we wish him every success and happiness in the future that lies before him. a great and good man. KAN GREGORY ' S HOME

How he has found time to participate in so many activities outside of those duties falling upon him as Dean and instructor amazes all. That he has bee ' n sought after so many times to give his assistance toward the organization of some association or institution; to tender his opinion upon important legal questions; to contribute countless communications for Law Journals and papers truthfully testifies to his wonderful ability as an organizer and the high repute and esteem in which he is held both in this country and abroad. In 1900 he served as chairman of the meeting at Saratoga at which the Association of American Schools was formed, and in 1908-09 as President of that Association, presiding at its meeting at Detroit. He has been active in the American Bar Association, serving as a Vice-President ; three terms on the Executive Committee, many times on the General Council, chairman of the Section on Legal Education in 1900 : he is now serving his fourth term as chairman of the Standing Committee on International Law, and has served for years as a member of the Standing Committee on Publications. He aided in founding the American Association of International Law, and has served as one of its Council ever since. He took part in the founding of the American Journal of International Law. and has been one of its editors since its beginning. He is a member of the International Law Association of London, and was elected a second time to its Council at the meeting in London last July. A Vice-presidency of this Asso- ciation was tendered him at its Conference at Antwerp in 1903. He was one of the speakers at the dinner given to this Association by the City of London last July. At this dinner, spoke the Lord Chief Justice of England and Lord Justice Kennedy who were the only two other speakers upon this occasion. During his stay, last summer, he was voted the privileges of the Athenaeum Club in London as a distinguished stranger. He is Membre Correspondent de L ' Institut de Droit Compare of Brussels, and the Royal Society of Arts of London. He has given many addresses before the bars of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Iowa, not to mention the scores of addresses before many of the Universities of this country. For a paper on International Law at the World ' s Fair at St. Louis, he was awarded a diploma and a medal by the Congress of Arts and Sciences. For years he has been a contributor to such publications as the Harvard Law Review, the Yale Law Journal, the American Journal of International Law ; the Law Quarterly and Review of London, the Law Magazine of London, the Juridicial Review of Edinburgh, and various; other European publications. That he has been a hard and consistent worker is evidenced by the fore- going facts, which, it may be said, are far from complete During his ten years of service he has never missed a class through illness, though many times he- carried on his class work when he should have been under the care of a physician. He has always exemplified what Mr. Roosevelt would call strenuosity . As an instructor his present students and hundreds of practicing lawyers- ' throughout the State and Nation have formed an estimate much nearer the- reality than this article has power to depict. As a man his unbounded courtesy and unfailing charity and sympathy have- endeared him to his students and his friends; to know him is to know a true friend. And the knowledge of his impending departure brings on a feeling; 10
