Prof. BanlH TMase, AM., A.M., pt .B. IK subject i f this sketch was l)(irn in l laltimore, antl received his elementary and secondary education in the pulilic sijiools of his native city, graduating from the Haltimore City College in 1888. In the fall of the same year he entered the undergraduate depart- ment of the Johns Hopkins University, being fortunate to win a scholarship for the first year. During the three years of the under- graduate course, liis jirincipal subjects were chemistry and biology, together with jihysics. Cerman, I ' Vench and such other subjects as go ti i make up a liberal education. He graduated with tiie degree of bachelor of arts in i8gi, and again had the good fortune to win a scholarship. He then continued his studies in the po. ' -t graduate department, pursuing chemistry as principle subject, with physics, mathematics and chrystallograi)hy as subordinates. In 1895 he received the degree of doctor of Philosophy and in the fall (if the same year became a member of the faculty of the Maryland College of Pharmacy, where he established the course in Vegetable Histology and was associated with Dr. Simon in chemistry until Dr. Simon withdrew from the faculty, when the wlmle work of the department fell on him. .About the year liHiO he became lecturer in chemistry at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and held this position until 1904, when the Maryland College of Pharmacy became affiliated with the University of Maryland and he took charge of the chemical laboratory in the medical department of the University. In 19it.5 appeared the National Standard Dispensatory as successor to the National Dispensatory, wdiich was practically rewritten. The articles on inorganic chemicals in this new edition were prepared by Dr. Base. In 1909 he revised Simon ' s Manual of Chemistry, which appeared in its ninth edition. He was, however, associated with Dr. Simon in revising the three previous editions of that book. He is the author of Elements of Vegetable Histology. a book printed fur students of jjharmacy to supplement the studies of botany and materia medica. During the summer vacations of 1904-05 he worked with Dr. Hunt, chief of pharmacylogy, hygienic laboratory, Washington, D. C, where, besides doing routine chemical work, he carried out a series of investigations on the yield of formaldehyde in various methods of liberating the gas into rooms for the ])Ur])ose of fumigation. In appreciation of the many acts of kindness Dr. Ilase has shown his students, the class of 191() elected him honorary president and advisor to the class, and he will long be remembered by that class, as by those in the past, not only for the masterly manner in which he treats his subject, but also for the deep personal interest he takes in the welfare of his students. 249

Craftsman Club. The rule of iiiv life is to make business a fleasiire and pleasure my business. This blond Fairy, that came to us from Mt. St. Mary ' s, is as broad in structure as he is long. We know him chiefly for his (|uiet ways and as a student. Incidentally he ts cjiiite a social favorite at the Maryland fien- eral Hos]Mtal. . t the end of his junior year one of the instructors enjoyed his examination ])aper so much that he insisted on his taking a re-exam. May the world take him more seriously than he takes his college life. 251
