MURMURMONTIS five His life is pontic Hiul the elements So mixed in liilll that Nrtttue may stand up Ard say to all the world, This is a man! Charles Weslev Lynch, to whom the Class of ' 21 dedicate this the six- teenth volume of the Murmurniontis, is known to the public as a jurist of learning and experience, a true disjienser of justice. To his more intimate friends he is known as a champiou of the highest ideals in the life of his conimAtnity ; a Christian gentleman. Born and reared in Harrison County, West irginia; he received his early training in the public schools of his native county. He is an alumnus of West ' irginia University, having received his A.B. degree (1874) and his A.M. (1877). He has since been honored with the degree of LL.D. from our own W ' esleyan. After completing his college course we tind him working for eight years as a public school teacher in Wirt and Harrison counties. In 1882 Mr. Lynch was admitted to the West N ' irginia Bar and began his long career as a lawyer. His political activities have been continuous and varied: member State House of Delegates (1883-4; 1891-2): prosecuting attorney Harrison County 1 885-90) : circuit judge of Harrison and Lewis counties (1905-13). C)n January 1, 1913, he entered upon liis twelve year term as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of West Virginia. Judge Lynch, despite his Inisy years, has found time to engage in re- ligious and fraternal work. He was the honored Grand Master of Masons of West Virginia (1912-13). ' est N ' irginia Methodism has in him a staunch supporter and he goes as a delegates to the (ieneral Conference to be held at D ' esMoines, Iowa, in May of this year. Wesleyan has been the recipient of many generous favors and, as a token of her respect, he was made a member of the Board of Trustees in 1909. As a fitting tribute to his scholarsliip and kindly interest he was unanimously chosen president of the Board, June 1913, a station he now occupies. Our friend needs no feeble tribute we might endeavor to bestow upon him at this time. The Greater Wesleyan which is evolving under his direc- tion will speak in the life of West Virginia thruout the coming years. ' ' A nuui who lives atiove the foj . In pultlie duty, ami in private thinking.
