H. B. Arbuckle, A. M., Ph. D. i HSHnP ' P rese ting this little sketch of the life and work of a much appre- Jl«W Clate teacher, we have naught but a fair escutcheon to unfold. Born S llli E 01 intelligent hristian parents in a home amid the beautiful scenery fSftEsKB a11 ' ' v ig° rous atmosphere of that fine mountain section surrounding the town of Lewisburg, W. Ya., we cannot wonder that our subject developed high ideals of character, a deep love of the beautiful in nature, and a quenchless thirst for the secrets of her science. His early education was pursued in the school of his county. Following that he attended, for one year, Prince Edward Academy, where he won the first honor which entitled him to a scholarship in Hampden-Sidney College. After a four years ' course at Hampden-Sidney our young student received his A. B. degree and delivered the valedictory at commencement. He was ap- pointed Fellow and Instructor in the college for the next vear. The following June the degree of A. M. was conferred upon him, and at this commencement he delivered the Master ' s Oration. After five years spent in teaching and in further study, Mr. Arbuckle. in 1895, entered Johns Hopkins University as a graduate student, persuing advanced courses in Chemistry, Physiology and Biology. Tn 1896 Mr. Arbuckle was married to Miss Ida Meginnis, of Tallahassee. Florida. Miss Meginnis was a first honor graduate of the Seminary west of the Suwannee, the school in which Mr. Arbuckle was instructor for four years. The sweet bride, then won, has ever since been a true helpmeet and the winner of many friends. Ar the end of three years Dr. Arbuckle received the degree of Ph. D. from Johns Hopkins University. His success was marked. His work, especially his graduating thesis, attracted the attention of his professors. They suggested a scientific career, most alluring to a true student. But he had chosen the noble calling of a teacher and had accepted the professorship of Phys- ical and Biological Sciences at Agnes Scott Institute, thus consecrating his best powers, acquirements and university training to the work of the higher Christian education of the young women of his beloved South. He loves his students and is concerned not only for their spiritual and intellectual welfare, but enters enthusiastically into their sports and enjoyments. Thoroughly loval to his institution, he is always active in advancing her in- terests, and this has been conspicuouslv true the past year in his personal work for our new Science Hall. Its admirable internal construction, and greatly im- proved equipment is due largelv to his energy and capability, notably in his rais- ing five hundred dollars for the purchase and putting in of the new gas machine. We sincerelv hope Dr. Arbuckle will remain with us many years and help to realize for Agnes Scott her highest ideals.
