THE INSTITUTE grtljur J. Jfrttlj Died November io, i)ij Arthur Joseph Frith, C. K., Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, died at his post at the Institute on the morning of Monday, November tenth. He was stricken with illness soon after arriving at the school, and passed away peacefully within a few minutes, his last moments being free from pain. Less than two months before, Professor Frith’s only child, Edward Randolph Frith, was struck by an automobile and died within a few minutes. His father saw the acci- dent and saw his boy die, a terrible experience that he could not forget, though he remained as before, gentle, courteous and lovable. Professor Frith was born in Philadelphia in 1S52. He graduated from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and during practically all of his professional life devoted himself to thermodynamics, the subject of his courses at the Institute. The present year was his sixth at Ar- mour Institute. He was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engi- neers and of the Society of Automobile Engineers. He was the author of numerous papers presented before engineering societies, notably of a paper on the Frith cycle for gas engines. He has set an unusual example of noble thinking and right living and his professional work is recognized as being of the highest order. 2»
